I, Stone Golem, only want to forge.

Before Murphy could think for long, the forging reward suddenly appeared again.

But is this really considered forging?

It only made some bandages or something, but that counts.

However, getting a reward is better than getting nothing.

[Forging complete]

[Target: Human infants, vampire hybrid infants]

[Reward: Stone Blossoms]

[Stone Blossoms: You can make yourself bloom, but that's not very useful, though it makes you look cool.]

……

Murphy's attention wasn't on this ability to make him look cool.

Rather, it was in that forging object, the so-called vampire hybrid infant.

Does that mean there's a vampire mixed in with these kids?

Murphy can find things like vampires in the craftsman's memory fragments.

As for the evaluation...

"A moron, good for nothing except a little beauty, even more stupid than an elf, especially a half-vampire."

According to this assessment, she's both beautiful and clumsy...

Murphy looked around at the children, but couldn't find any who met the criteria.

Logically speaking, mixed-race vampires should be even more beautiful.

Although Murphy himself didn't have much of a concept of human beauty and ugliness.

However, it can refer to and make judgments based on some templates in its memory.

and many more?

It's as if I've forgotten something exists.

Murphy's gaze suddenly fell on the baby that Lillian was holding.

How could a normal human baby survive for so long under such harsh living conditions?

No way, this thing is a vampire, right?

I looked at it from left to right, but I still couldn't tell the difference between whether it looked good or not.

(・_・)

This is truly putting the stone man in a difficult position.

After thinking for a while, it decided to ask directly. After all, whether it was a vampire or an ordinary person, it still needed to eat. When these children fed the baby, they must have naturally known whether it was a vampire or a human.

"Is it a vampire?"

Lillian paused, glanced at Murphy, pondered for a while, and finally nodded.

"Hmm...this child is a vampire. She originally had an older sister, but she was thrown outside and is probably dead."

As she spoke, her eyes dimmed, her voice low and tinged with sadness as she recounted her story.

"The reason we've been able to survive this long is mainly because of this child's older sister, who occasionally uses magic to conjure up food for us from out of thin air..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the sound of footsteps.

Murphy looked back and saw Sri wrapped in vines and walking over.

Seeing Murphy approach, he said regretfully:

"The other children have either been taken away by the buyers or died. There are only six left on the other ships... Hey, Mr. Murphy, I'll leave these children to you. I'll go see if I can catch up with those buyers."

Siri put down the unconscious children and was about to leave when Murphy stopped him.

"The reward for treatment."

"I'll pay for it later." Knowing Murphy's principles, Sri readily agreed.

But after he agreed, he saw Murphy shake her head and then tell Sri about Lillian and the vampire baby in her arms.

Then Murphy asked:

"What kind of magic is this?"

"Among hybrid vampires, some special individuals may possess some shapeshifting or spatial magic... but being thrown out doesn't necessarily mean they'll actually die."

Siri paused slightly, then quickly walked to the baby.

He gently drew a drop of blood from the baby's fingertip, then immediately looked at Lillian and asked her.

"Could you tell me in detail what happened back then, and how you were thrown down, etc."

Lillian saw Siri take a drop of blood from the baby and was worriedly about what was going on.

But then he suddenly heard that his friend might not be dead, and his eyes lit up immediately. He immediately spoke up.

"Xiaoya... that's the name of the vampire who was thrown down. She has the ability to telekinesis. When the guards opened the door to deliver food..."

If there is food on or near the guard, she can steal a little bit.

In the past, things always went smoothly, but just yesterday, a woman dressed in a priest's robe suddenly appeared.

When Xiaoya used magic, that woman discovered her and then... grabbed her by the hair and threw her out the window.

However, since they were not on the same ship as before, Lillian was unable to identify it specifically.

"They just threw it out, and didn't do anything else?"

Lillian shook her head

"No, that woman seemed to be in a hurry and left quickly. She was thrown out during the day, and vampires are afraid of sunlight, so..."

After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips and didn't continue. Her eyes revealed sadness, clearly indicating that she didn't have much hope that Xiaoya was alive.

But Sri suddenly said with certainty.

"I can guarantee she's still alive."

"Really? Where is it located?" Lillian asked immediately, while the children around her stared at Siri with bright eyes.

But Sri frowned, and his lips twitched stiffly.

"These two aren't related by blood?"

Yes, Siri originally intended to use his bloodline to find the vampire.

What struck him as incredibly strange was that he could use bloodlines to confirm that the vampire was still alive.

However, when he traced their lineage by blood, he discovered that the two were not related by blood at all!

This is really strange...

Wait, he can only be sure that this child is a mixed-blood vampire, but what if the other one isn't?

If this child's so-called mixed-race heritage is not natural but rather the result of artificial enhancement.

That means you can only sense that someone is alive through bloodline, but you can't trace their exact location using bloodline tracing.

To find an existing instance, you only need to find similar instances.

However, to trace its origins, a clear line of development is needed.

Therefore, artificially created hybrids are beings that appear out of thin air and cannot be traced back to their origins.

"It should be nearby. I'll look around again."

He scanned the nearby ships with his divine sense but did not find any vampires.

It is highly likely that he deliberately hid near a magic-suppressing stone to avoid being tracked.

Such a faint aura, coupled with the interference of the anti-magic stone, makes direct detection indeed difficult.

However, before he could finish speaking, the seaweed stone in Murphy's hand suddenly began to tremble with excitement!

Then it burst out of the room with a thud, its body covered with flowers of unrecognizable shapes.

"This is?"

Sri looked at Murphy in confusion, not understanding why the little stone man had suddenly started running wildly.

Murphy scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"It said it was a seaweed doctor and was going to treat a sick patient nearby."

It would have been better not to explain; the explanation only made Siri more confused.

"what?"

Stone man? Seaweed? Doctor?

What is the connection between these three words?

However, his surprise was not over yet.

Suddenly, three small stone figures jumped out of Murphy's body, bowed respectfully to him, and then ran off in a neat line.

"What are you doing now?"

"Dr. Seaweed said there weren't enough people, so I sent the other stone men to help."

Siri thought for a moment, and finally followed the small stones, getting off the ship and wandering around before entering the cargo hold of another ship.

Then, following the path that Dr. Seaweed had already smashed open, they arrived at a ship's skeleton.

On the top of the ship's hull, which was covered with anti-magic stone, lay a small bat.

Beneath the bat, people had already piled up the small stones, forcibly placing the seaweed doctor in the spot where the bat had been.

Then, Dr. Seaweed found a piece of black cloth from somewhere and gently covered the bat with it.

Then, countless glowing flowers suddenly bloomed on his body.

After all the light on those flowers went out.

Dr. Seaweed removed the black cloth from the bat, then took out his treatment device, which he had transformed from a hammer, and began the treatment.

"This is... a profession?" Siri suddenly realized.

This seaweed stone man has actually acquired a profession.

But while this problem was solved, an even bigger problem arose.

Isn't this Murphy's clone?

But he remembered that Murphy had planned to visit Lynn's village because he was unemployed.
