My Players Are So Fierce – Handsome dog Frank-Chapter 2159 - 720: Even Such a Cool Supreme Lord Has Learned Sorrow... (Part 3)
"It’s a gift for you, perhaps you’ll find use for it one day in the future."
He didn’t even allow Murphy to refuse before forcing the item into Murphy’s hands, then turned and left.
There was no need for Murphy to see him out since, as a former member of the Eden Management Committee, Lord Paryen had likely visited the museum more than once and was far more familiar with the place than Murphy.
Moreover, after the lord left, Murphy realized from the curator assistant’s report that the lord took a component marked as a "spiritual power enhancement device," and this pocket watch might have been his compensation to Murphy.
"Wow, I was eavesdropping on your conversation with the lord from my bedroom. It was so juicy!"
After Lord Paryen confirmed his departure, Triss, wearing an unworn robe and with bare feet, ran out, holding a delicate notebook, having clearly recorded Murphy and the lord’s conversation as a secret.
"He must know you were eavesdropping, but the fact he didn’t mind means he was speaking for you to hear too."
Murphy fiddled with the mechanical pocket watch in his hand, glancing at Triss, who was excited by hearing many Blood race secrets, and he whispered:
"Just don’t spread it."
"It’s my first time seeing a Millennium Lord so close to a vampire. Honestly, it makes me a bit jealous."
Triss pouted:
"You might not know, but when I was young, Lord Paryen was my idol. He was the idol of every ambitious and aspiring vampire, but now you, a young guy, talk equally with my former idol, and the lord even shows you deliberate respect.
Your background is truly becoming more and more frightening.
So, what did he give you?"
"The lord gifted me a cool ’vehicle,’ he clearly knows what kind of gift a young person like me would want."
Murphy shrugged, tossing the mechanical pocket watch in his hand up and down.
This mysterious description displeased Triss, but Murphy wasn’t deliberately keeping it from her. It’s just that the "pocket watch" casually given by the lord was too hot to handle:
Name: Chief Navigator’s Personal Certification Device
Quality: Miracle Artifact
Effect: Used for navigator access certification in the cockpit of the "Crimson Dawn," granting secondary control of the ship upon certification.
Creator: A Vanished World · Untraceable
Item Description:
[Salockdale lost his memory and along with it, his most cherished item. He even forgot that the case was handcrafted by his wife Oksana as a gift for his 3000th birthday.
But the instincts of flight did not go dormant. As the Blood Vulture Duke, Salockdale still possessed the most perfect wings among all vampires.
And he didn’t forget to pierce Lady Oksana’s body with his terrifying sword at certain times... This might also be some peculiar tradition between the Blood Vulture and Thorns.
So, my dear Murphy, when you have the chance to pierce Duchess Shani in the future, I hope you’ll take precautions this time.
To avoid causing a fatal accident.]
"Damn, what kind of hell joke is this?"
Murphy cursed in his mind.
He clearly knew that the item description was a vulgar and terrifying pun.
During the Golden Age, Salockdale and Lady Oksana relied on each other, but in the new era, their only intimate contact was in the murder at Red Cliff, where the Thorns Duke was pierced through the heart by the Blood Vulture Duke’s necessary evil.
Alright, this indeed fits the description, but don’t think I don’t know what sort of vulgar metaphor you’re making, okay?
"If the memories I just saw aren’t wrong, then the Crimson Dawn should still be sleeping in the Land of Holy Blood. That was Salockdale’s favorite ship, so it’s the property of the Blood Vulture Clan and should be inherited by Triss and used as the bride’s dowry by me.
The logic should be fine, right?"
Murphy thought as he placed his convenient old pocket watch on the exhibit table as a display item, then hung his cool new pocket watch on his chest.
He glanced back at Triss, who was still taking notes, and suddenly asked:
"Lily... who is she?"
"Huh? Where did you hear that name from!"
Triss suddenly looked up and said:
"She was my best sister, and also Lord Paryen’s first offspring, once the First Lord of the Blood Covenant Knight Order, with Palano’s lordship deriving from Lily. I’m telling you, back then, my best friends in vampire society were her and Shani’s elder Sofie.
Unfortunately, they both died.
Lily died in the last Black Disaster. I’m not very clear about the specifics, and Palano is reluctant to talk about it, so it must have been very tragic."
"Have you seen Lily’s face?"
Murphy pursued:
"Don’t you think Lily’s face looks identical to Lord Paryen’s?
Their relationship is not just a simple elder and offspring, Triss, I saw in the memories, Lily is Lord Paryen’s opposite-gender clone, um, I’m not sure if you understand this concept..."
"Of course I can!"
Triss refuted:
"I’m not just watching anime from another world. I also study. But as you put it, I suddenly realize Lily’s habit of wearing a veil seems a bit questionable. Well, I’m not sure if I should tell you this...
But actually, the relationship between Lily and Lord Paryen wasn’t pure.
Sofie once told me that she saw Lily kiss the lord, meaning there might exist a forbidden relationship like yours and mine, and between these two, it was even more forbidden. As expected of a lord, not falling for anyone but another version of oneself...
But don’t mention these in front of Lord Paryen!
If the rumors are true, then Lily’s death must have caused the lord a terrifying psychological shadow that might last a lifetime.
Alas, even someone outstanding like him can’t escape the torment of emotions."
