"Are they picking on us NPCs because we don't go online? They just brazenly brought stuff from the 'Big Sick Zone' into the game. I feel like they're making fun of you."
In the Blood Eagle Corridor, Grand Duchess Triss was counting the fine wines she'd received as gifts. Looking thoroughly pleased, she glanced over at Murphy and the three gifts he'd gotten for this year's Bloodfest.
Especially that white dining chair.
"So it's time to show them the wrath of Lord Murphy."
Murphy scolded them irritably:
"Looks like my little players are getting a bit too bold."
"Actually, it's not that serious. They're just trying to please themselves while pleasing you in their own way. And you know, if you had short hair dyed white, you really would look a bit like the king of the Big Sick Zone."
Triss stepped forward to soothe Murphy. She reached out to touch his cheek and said:
"Besides, you're much more handsome than that Black Knight."
"I'm glad you think I'm handsome, but I've still decided to teach those guys a lesson."
Murphy picked up the "Yamato" beside him with a stern expression. He drew the blade and admired it for a moment as he activated Item Appraisal:
