Chapter 843: 287. I’m begging you! Go shear another fat sheep instead_2

"Ah, yes! We are Highlanders! Very formidable and fierce Highlanders, but because of our solitary and insular nature, it’s difficult to have any meaningful exchanges with the outside world."

Little Brother Fu smoothly delivered the players’ "backstory" as they were accustomed to whenever an NPC asked about their origins.

But then, he saw the new NPC in front of him, who despite being perfectly able-bodied, relied on a walking stick, point at his nose and scold:

"No! You are lying; you are not Highlanders!"

"Huh?"

Touching Your Poverty widened his eyes in surprise.

"I, I am a true Highlander."

Ellen gave a thumbs up, pointing to her face, but then she realized the analogy was a bit off and, shaking her head vigorously, she said:

"No no no, I’m not a Highlander in the traditional sense either; my dad is, but my mom comes from the Ligurian Peninsula. I inherited my mother’s petite frame and wisdom.

In any case, you are not Highlanders from the Saxon Region, so stop lying to people."

"Then who are we?"

Little Brother Fu asked helplessly:

"How should we respond to you? We come from a different world?"

He was joking, but Count Shuren shook her head to correct him:

"You are Highlanders from the Westerly Territory; you are mixed with the Calum People, so your stature and appearance are closer to that of common people.

This could also explain your strange black hair and black eyes.

You were forced to migrate to the Westerly Territory during the fourth Black Disaster and your tribe, named ’Ceris,’ settled in the northern woodlands. You have your own traditional tribes there. When the Exploration Corps disturbed your peace during the decade-long war, the Elders of your tribe demanded that you warriors finally leave the forests your ancestors had lived in to join Count Cadman’s forces in the defense of this land, which you have come to consider home."

"Ah?"

Touching Your Poverty felt dizzy from the stream of information coming from the mechanically-dressed vampire.

He scratched his temples, intending to ask for clarification, but then it dawned on him that the developers might be using this new NPC to rewrite the players’ origin story.

This one was even more outrageous, listing the name and history of the tribe.

Detailed!

Indeed very detailed.

Hmm, I’ll post this on the forums later to spark a discussion.

"What are you standing there for? Come over and help, my limbs have just grown back and it’s not convenient for me to move things around. Help me out."

Count Shuren urged.

Being born into a noble family, she was adept at giving orders, but seeing Touching Your Poverty standing there like an idiot, Ellen instantly remembered Sir Morphy’s instructions. She frowned in annoyance, tapped the wind goggles on her forehead, and then activated the Calculating Pearl.

"Ding"

A light sound made Touching Your Poverty lower his head:

[Initiation Quest - ’Count Shuren’s Request’ has been triggered!

Quest Objective: Help Count Shuren move heavy objects and organize her room in Crimson Castle.

Quest Reward: Ellen’s Gratitude X1, increased reputation in West Coba’s Earldom.]

The quest activation seemed to flip a switch in Touching Your Poverty’s behavior.

He rolled up his sleeves and started to help the petite vampire by moving scattered boxes around the house and placing some of the furnishings in special positions at her behest.

But soon, Touching Your Poverty realized he might have overlooked something very important.

"Wait a minute!"

He exclaimed:

"You’re Count Shuren? The ruler of the West Coba’s Earldom?"

"Yeah, are you only realizing that now? Sir Morphy said his warriors were both brave and wise: the bravery I’ve seen, but wisdom..."

Ellen fiddled with a complex punching device on her desk, placing it with a hint of teasing:

"It seems you are a bit slow on the uptake.

Oh, in addition to being the Count of West Coba, I’m also the leader of the ’Crimson Claw’ faction of the Blood Vulture Clan, although it’s just newly founded, I have this feeling that it will thrive."

With that said, she took out her old mechanical limb to tinker with it and put it on the table, which instantly captured all of Touching Your Poverty’s attention.

He walked over and touched the device that was both rugged and precise, able to barely make out that the mechanical limb contained three linked miniature steam furnaces as a power source, along with a rather intricate set of couplings and folding mechanism that encapsulated a deployable blade and a firearm component.

Touching Your Poverty felt he was seeing something exceptional and immediately activated the Item Identification:
