When William emerged from the water, Viscount Moen was quite confused. He had been using the vampire's sensory ability all the time, so how could he fail to find this uninvited guest who was hiding not far from him.

Viscount Moen's reaction was very decisive. He immediately opened his bloody mouth wide, bared his blood-sucking fangs to intimidate William, and then jumped to the other side.

William secretly thought it was bad, he rushed to the vampire's side at a faster speed, and blocked the fatal blow for a certain little guy.At the same time, William grabbed the vampire's arm with both hands and broke it, but broke Viscount Morne's arm like peeling sugarcane.Then William kicked the vampire with two kicks and broke the vampire's legs, pressing him into the water.

It was only at this moment that little Isabella appeared from the void. She snorted a little proudly, stepped forward and kicked the vampire's magical box with her little hoof, and said shamelessly: "Bad thing!" I’m not easy to mess with, Isabella! Look at you, you’ve been taught a lesson by Big William!”

Vampires don't like to soak in flowing natural water bodies (such as rivers, etc.), because it will make them feel dizzy and slow to react. When Viscount Moen was pressed by William to take a bath in the spring water, this poor vampire was naturally inevitable There is a state of stagnation.

The vampire trapped in the running water struggled feebly. It tried to push William away, just like a weak little girl trying to push away a burly man in a runaway state, but it couldn't struggle at all.

Seriously speaking, all vampires are Hercules, their strength is even comparable to that of giants (strength 20+), and they also have a variety of abilities and talents that belong to vampires, such as ignoring ordinary attack damage, fast self-healing, Resistance to cold and electric shock, spider crawling, changing shape and shape, and more.

However, for a vampire immersed in running water, some active abilities such as spider walking and shape changing will be temporarily suppressed, and its strength will also be temporarily reduced to the state before being first embraced.

So although the Viscount Moen was very weak in his resistance, he didn't feel so desperate. He even thought that he was careless for a while, and was caught off guard when he was caught by someone, so he suffered a loss.

At this moment, Viscount Morne's brain was extremely confused. It can be said that his mind was still at the moment before William burned the dungeon of Dagger Falls Town.

After all, because it left early, it went to the Misty Valley in the south to raise food, which is what vampires call lamb fodder, and it happened to stagger all the intersections with the human lords of Dagger Valley.

Viscount Moen bared his sharp fangs, roared at William twice, and then said confidently: "Stupid human being, you won this game! But you don't want to take advantage of me. Believe me, You can't kill me with your means, you can't kill a great Nightborne!

If I were you, I would run away quickly, after all, as a human being, you can't stop eating and drinking.

Otherwise, I will wait for the moment you are exhausted and can no longer hold me, I will slit your throat, drink your blood, and turn you into a lowly zombie slave!Hahaha! "

William replied irrefutably, and said, "Oh! It's a good dream, you're so beautiful!" Then he suddenly took out a holy nail, and nailed it fiercely on the vampire's almost self-healed arm.

The holy energy burned Viscount Moen's half arm into a pool of ashes like a raging fire burning vines, and those ashes fell into the water and were washed away immediately.

Viscount Moen immediately screamed crazily like a frightened shrew: "Oh no! Damn it, what have you done?! My hand! My blood king! You ruined my perfect body!"

The madness of Viscount Moen is not unreasonable. The damage from the Holy Nail cannot be recovered by vampires through self-healing. The ashes of the remaining arms were used as a restoration matrix.

It's just that the ashes of Viscount Moen's burned arm have just been taken away by the running water, and may be scattered everywhere in the hilly river in the future. How the hell should they be collected?

If the residue cannot be recovered, it means that Viscount Moen's arm cannot be restored.

Well, for a vampire whose life is almost infinite, this is not impossible, at most it will take a little time.

Once, in a plane where vampires ruled the roost, a powerful vampire lord was burned to ashes, and the ashes were even scattered into the sea, but its believers and loyalists still spent thousands of years, from the deep sea The case of salvaging His ashes bit by bit from the bottom of the sea and finally resurrecting him victoriously.

As long as Viscount Moen has perseverance, perseverance, enough manpower, and time to retrieve his ashes, it is still possible to restore his arm.

The problem was that poor Viscount Morne was running out of time, because William grabbed the Holy Nail and did something to one of its legs, and then the vampire lost half of his own leg in a wail of pain.

The painful and confused vampire naturally spit out more vicious curses, but when William pulled out the holy nail again, it finally gave up.After all, the wounds caused by the Holy Nail cannot be healed. If William really crippled its limbs, even if William didn't kill it, the Viscount Moen, who turned into a vampire pig, would never be able to do so!The other vampires will not hesitate to completely destroy this shameful existence that has lost the face of the Nightborne.

Viscount Moen screamed: "Okay! Okay! Damn human! Stop your damn moves! I surrender! Speak up! Say what you want! Viscount Moen will give you Everything you want!"

William suddenly stopped driving the nails. He asked with great interest, "Oh? How do you know what I want? What if I just want to torture you?"

Viscount Moen said proudly: "Human! Don't take me for a fool, and don't underestimate the Son of the Night! If you really just want to kill me, you should put that damned nail on my forehead or above the heart!"

William was a little stunned. He really underestimated the wisdom of vampires. It turns out that these vampires are not fools.In fact, they just lived for too long, so that their minds were filled with the arrogance of the long-lived species. When they were awakened by a stick, their intelligent brains would regain the high ground.

William said: "Very good! I like to talk to smart people, it will save a lot of trouble. Let me talk about your identity first, I really want to know more about you vampires."

He didn't ask about those strange ships and that box as soon as he came up, but asked about the origin of this vampire.Little Isabella, who stepped on the box a few times curiously, leaned forward and asked, "Big William, are you going to let this bad, bad guy go?"

William smiled mysteriously, and said to the little guy, "Maybe. As long as this monster is willing to answer my question truthfully, in principle, I can let him go."

Little Isabella whipped her little tail happily, and preached in the tone of a little adult: "This is very bad, very bad! Big William, you shouldn't let this very bad, very bad guy go!" .Look, look, it wants to eat the lovely Isabella!"

Indeed, Viscount Moen's blood-red eyeballs were greedily staring at the little guy, and he couldn't help showing his vampire fangs.For vampires, there are many ways to improve their strength, such as using time to boil (vampires can passively improve their strength over time like a dragon), using the blood clan sublimation ceremony to obtain the gift of the blood king, and sucking high-level life The blood of human beings (such as demigods, high-level demons, etc.), sucking the blood-essence-essence of magical creatures...

The wind horses are magical creatures that vampires desire. Together with another magical creature, the unicorn, they are revered by vampires as the most drinkable source of magic blood.

Everything is precious because it is rare, and wind horses and unicorns are also revered for this reason.Among them, unicorns are born with divine power, which can be said to be heavenly against vampires, while wind horses are even rarer. Except for some outer planes, only a small number of ethnic groups exist in the northern ice and snow peaks of Faerun.

Even if the windy horse is captured, it is generally not the turn of vampires to suck their magic blood, because all spellcasters value the windy horse more than anyone else, such as Olosan Black Rod and Shiron. By deceiving and abducting, the sisters of the Windy Horse were forcibly taken away from William's family.

The reason is that the wind horse is born with a coordination ability, which can assist her knight to cast spells freely while running.In terms of the game, the wind horse will automatically grant the rider the [Movement Casting] feat. If the rider already has this feat, then this feat will get an extremely effective bonus.

If any caster can get a wind horse as a mount, then he will become a real mobile fort, the king of running and bombing!And the kind that can fly.

This is an advantage that any standing or jogging spellcaster will be crazy about.

The vampire's greedy gaze made the little guy feel a little uncomfortable, she stuck out her tongue at Viscount Moen, and then hid behind William.

Viscount Moen's greedy eyes fell on William, and he couldn't help but said: "Human, maybe you don't know the value of that horse cub behind you. If you are willing to sell it, I can even make you rich." The wealth of an enemy country, or a first chance at eternal life... ah!"

Before the other party finished speaking, William clenched his fist and punched the vampire's shoulder with a seemingly light punch, but his good arm was almost smashed into meat paste. The sudden pain made Viscount Moen bear it. Can't help screaming.

Facing Viscount Morne's eyes full of shock and anger, William said calmly, "I think a clear mind will help you answer my question, Your Excellency the Vampire. What do you think?"

Only then did the vampire realize that at this moment it was in a situation where "man is a knife and I am a fish". It has to tuck its tail and be careful to be a ghost, but it has been a long time to be an arrogant vampire, and now it will be a grandson of a turtle But it's a bit difficult to adapt to.

At this time, the injured arm of the vampire was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. In William's opinion, this recovery ability was not even much worse than that of the troll who impressed him the most.

Viscount Moen finally remembered to answer William's question. It said: "I was the last sheriff of Happy Valley and the first legal lord of Dagger Valley. I once expelled the plague of vampires that plagued the entire Dagger Valley, and protected the ..."

At this time, William showed a mocking expression, and suddenly interrupted: "Think it over before answering, did you really expel those vampires?"

Viscount Moen said a little arrogantly: "Of course I expelled it. This is a fact verified by many big figures."

William decided to let this fool who thought himself a fool reflect on himself, so he gave a deep education to the vampire, the kind with fists and kicks.

Little Isabella was very uncomfortable with this, and she turned her little ass towards the two guys who were greeting fiercely (one with fists and feet, the other with voice), but her little head was almost shrunk in her belly, all of her The small ears were tightly closed, as if to isolate the screams from the ears, but a pair of big eyes secretly looked back.

The Wind Horse cub shouted, "It's too cruel! It's too violent! Isabella dare not look at it!" while aiming vigorously.

Viscount Moen, whose body and brain were almost turned into a pile of rotten meat, finally gave in, and it screamed repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! I admit it! I have made a deal with the great Earl Pilar, and I Willing to provide him with a batch of high-quality lambs every year, in exchange for him and his legion to stop the clear invasion of Dagger Valley.

And the Earl supported me and my family to become the rulers of Dagger Valley. When I was old and dying, they were even willing to provide me with a place of first embrace.As you can see by now, Count Pilar was everything I wanted. "

William's heart swelled with anger. He had already guessed the essence of the transaction between the two parties, but William still suppressed his anger and asked, "What does the lamb mean?"

Viscount Moen is not stupid, he really wanted to say that the lamb is an ordinary lamb, but when he saw William's burning eyes, he said truthfully with some trepidation: "A lamb refers to a man and woman who have not given birth. , of course virgins and children are the best things."

William's ruthless punch almost blew up the vampire who had just returned to normal. The splashed plasma and minced meat even scared the peeping cubs of the Wind Horse into hiding in the water.

This kind of villain who uses his own race to supply vampire monsters in exchange for his own selfishness is not enough to describe his crimes as heinous. .

William gritted his teeth and continued to ask: "Where do you come from to supply the vampires? They can't all be locals, right?"

The vampire said in horror, "Please don't ask any more, human! If I tell you, you'll beat me again! I've had enough."

William grinned and said, "If you don't say anything, I will beat you in a more brutal way!" As he spoke, he once again performed a "cruel" and extremely violent beating on the vampire. He snapped off the vampire's ribs one by one, and then displayed them in front of the howling monster.

Viscount Moen was not a hard-nosed vampire in the first place, but he finally succumbed completely, and he knew everything about William's question, and he could say everything he had to say.

A small part of the lambs offered by the vampires came from the local missing persons, and some were the descendants of domestic slaves specially raised by the lords. Of course, these were only small bosses, but the big ones came from the slave trade in Zhentil Fort.It can even be said that the origin of the slave trade in Zhentil Castle is related to the "lamb trade" conducted by vampires.

It's just that the current Zhentil Castle has been eroded by the power of hell, and it has a natural incompatibility with the chaotic demon camp to which the vampire forces belong, so that the two sides have begun to fight against each other. The Zhentil Castle's invasion of Dagger Valley is also a manifestation of this hatred.

After asking some more secrets about the vampire family, William began to ask about the strange ships that Viscount Moen had previously stored.

The somewhat self-defeating vampire didn't hide anything about it, and told William all the information about the magical creation of the "ship in a bottle".

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The ship in a bottle is an ancient magical ship, which means a ghost ship in a bottle.

It is said that after an ordinary ship has experienced too many adventures, some mysterious characteristics may be born. When the ship encounters some kind of misfortune and is in danger of being damaged, the crystal of the contract is engraved with a certain seal. If the bottle makes a connection with it, the ship has the potential to become a ship in a bottle.

The ghost ships we usually call are actually ships in a bottle. They come and go without a trace. In fact, it's not that they disappear, but they return to the crystal bottle.When we are attracted by a huge ghost ship that should have disappeared, and then we are surprised that it disappeared suddenly, who will pay attention to a small glass bottle that floats and sinks in the water.

The ship in a bottle has extraordinary characteristics similar to undead, and it can be strengthened to a certain extent with powerful extraordinary biological bones. practical operating experience.

Whether it is used in military affairs, commercial transportation, or collection, the ship in a bottle is of high value.However, it is difficult to promote this thing in large quantities. The reason is that qualified body boats are hard to come by. Of the [-] new boats that have just left the factory, there may only be ten lucky enough boats to survive until they are given a real name. Degree.

The so-called giving a real name means that when a ship has experienced enough adventures, it is recognized for a certain quality, and then it is called a unique nickname.

For example, a certain battleship "Xuefeng" that is famous for its Tianke teammates, "Xuefeng" is only her initial name. After she completed a series of "brilliant achievements", she "distributed "Cursed Snow Wind" is the ship's true name (if she is so named at all).

If the characteristics of a truly named ship match its name and continue its glorious adventure, then the ship itself may be born with real mystery, and she has the right to become a true ship in a bottle. qualifications.

It is not easy for the ships that have been truly named to go to the last step. They are more likely to be specifically targeted during the next adventure and become wrecks sleeping peacefully on the bottom of the water.Basically, it is considered extremely lucky that one of the ten named ships survives until its birth is mysterious.

It is precisely because of this fatal probability that the ship in a bottle has become a luxury toy that only longevity species can afford.And in this regard, vampires are also the most enthusiastic, because vampires are afraid of running water. They can fly, but they cannot cross the river from the air.If you want to cross the river, you can either be taken by someone or take a boat. Of course, if there is a bridge, you can do it. I would like to warn some guys who like to run around. The bridge is also the place where you are most likely to encounter vampires.

Most of the territory of Faerun is wild. When a vampire encounters a certain wild river on his way, he is likely to be in a situation where there is no way to see the village or shop behind him, and there will be no pedestrians or bridges for him. With help.

At this time, a boat in a bottle that can be carried with you is undoubtedly the best tool for crossing the river.

The 87 ships in bottles captured by William from Viscount Moen are the accumulation of the entire vampire kingdom for nearly a thousand years, and they are also their most important strategic carrier. Enron took root in Dagger Valley and radiated its tentacles throughout the valley.

However, the arrogant upper echelon of the Vampire Kingdom did not pay too much attention to these magical magic ships, otherwise Viscount Moen would not be able to easily borrow them from the capital of the night.

William felt that his harvest this time was definitely a heifer's upside down, not to mention the inestimable value of this batch of ships in a bottle, just the food that the fleet was fully loaded was enough to make him laugh out loud.

There are 87 three-masted magic ships, each with an average load of about [-] tons. Of course, in order to store the magic ships loaded in the crystal bottle without destroying the ship in the bottle, the actual load of these ships is only One-tenth of the theoretical load.

But even so, William was very satisfied.

Nearly a thousand tons of grain!Even if the people in Falls Town and Dusk Town opened their stomachs to eat, it would be enough for them to eat for two or three years. From then on, William no longer had to worry about the food in the territory.

Of course, these grains cannot be stored on the magic ship in the bottle for too long, even overnight, because the magic ship in the bottle will automatically swallow and assimilate all foreign objects on the ship.

However, the magic ship in the released state does not have this problem.

After all, a vampire is a kind of invisible monster. Once its identity is revealed, it will always attract many demon-killing and moral defenders to hunt down and kill it.Therefore, when they are sailing, the first consideration is always safety. Keeping the ship in a bottle can be put away at any time is absolutely essential for the vampires escorting the fleet.

For example, Viscount Moen neglected to be vigilant against danger, and ended up losing money and ghosts.After draining all the information from the vampire, William directly drove a nail into Viscount Moen's face, and burned the heinous vampire into a pool of ashes and sprinkled it into the valley.

The death of Viscount Moen did not cause any disturbance in William's heart, but the little pony Isabella, who had eavesdropped on a lot of secrets, ran to William's side and asked curiously: "William Boy, didn't you promise that bad guy to let him go? Is it really good to kill the other party in such a treacherous way? Do you feel uneasy about your conscience? "

William said with a solemn expression: "For the heinous things this guy has done, letting him die so happily is the greatest kindness to him! Hmph! When a man acts, he should do something and not do something! If I really Only by being pedantic and letting go of this bastard will I really feel bad conscience!"

"That's right! Where did you learn these ghost things, you little bastard? It's treachery and conscience. Is this something you should consider as a horse?" William frowned and stared at the pony foal.

Little Isabella said indignantly: "It's those bad guys who play the piano in Shadow Valley! They always whisper these in my ears. Sometimes I can't answer, and they deliberately deduct my rations!"

Vampires can't maximize the carrying capacity of the ship in a bottle because of their own safety considerations, but as a human, William doesn't need to worry about these.

He released the magic ships one by one according to the incantations engraved on each crystal bottle, but the area of ​​the spring valley was limited, and at most a dozen magic ships could be parked there.In fact, if it is not for the magic ship, there is no need to consider the waterline, and there will never be a problem of running aground. Even a ship cannot stop here.

William recruited more than a dozen powerful dragonmen from the world of flames as porters, and concentrated all the goods loaded by the ships in bottles on the eight largest magic ships, and all the remaining empty ships were put away. , stored in a box.

Nearly a thousand tons of grain are all high-quality oats. Although this stuff is not as good as wheat in terms of taste, it is better in terms of nutrition.However, in Faerun, oats are more often used to feed horses. This is also an excuse for vampires to buy food. After all, food for humans and feed for livestock, these two goods are of great concern. Are not the same.

Due to various reasons in history and reality, the war or hostile relationship between the city-states in the valley today and with forces outside the valley is quite tense. The major trump card of the foreign strategy of the city-states in the valley is to control the export of grain. Just like a certain oil organization in William's previous life controlled oil exports.

As we all know, the land in the valley is very fertile. As for how fertile it is, it is hard for those who don't know the details to imagine.Take oats as an example. In William’s previous life, even with all kinds of scientific farming techniques, plus the advantages of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, etc., the yield of oats per mu is generally about [-] kilograms, basically Five hundred catties is a bottleneck.

In most areas of the valley, the yield per mu of common oats can reach [-] kilograms, and in some intensive cultivation areas it can even reach over [-] pounds per mu, while the yield of higher-yielding wheat is generally two points per mu of oats. About five times.

This is a scary number, and some people may disagree. After all, these are two different worlds, so let's compare them horizontally.

In the entire continent of Faerun, except for the golden fields near Waterdeep City, you can no longer find any grain-producing areas that can rival the land of the Valley.

Needless to say, the golden field is a BUG.Ordinary Faerun area grows grain, and the yield of oats that are extensively planted and harvested is generally [-] to [-] kilograms per mu, and the yield per mu of wheat generally follows the multiple of [-] times.

As far as the yield per mu has reached the level of industrial modular agriculture in a world that is proud of science and technology, it can be seen that the valley is extraordinary.

Of course, we can give another example, the chronology of world history by the mainstream civilization of Faerun, in which the reclamation of valleys by humans is an extremely important node, and even in some objective and authoritative historical recorders, this node is regarded as the historical era The zero-point coordinate reference of , and the beginning of a new era.

People usually refer to the valley reclamation day as the first year of the valley calendar, and the time William and others are at now is converted to [-] years of the valley calendar.

Isn't it just a group of desperate human beings who ran to the valley to reclaim wasteland and farm?How could it have such a big impact?This involves the real origin of the valley.

Let me talk about the origin of the Valley Reclamation Day. More than 700 years ago, the valley and its surrounding forests were the area ruled by the elven kingdom Comanthor.

Later people migrated here from various places and settled on the edge of this vast forest.Soon countless human farms and villages appeared on the fringes of Cormanthor.Of course, Comanthor is unwilling to let humans set foot in this god-given land of honey. They have fought with human migrants for hundreds of years, but the elves only admit the fact of the conflict in the last 200 years, that is, The period from 200 BC to the first year of the valley calendar.

Altargrim, King of the Elves (Wearer of the Crown), foresaw that if they continued to fight against the large number of human immigrants, they would eventually suffer disaster, so he set out to formulate the elves and valley dwellers of the forest empire Cormanthor. (that is, the valley people we know later) the valley treaty.

Together, human and elf mages erected a standing stone at the center of Cormanthor to symbolize the unity of the two races, human and elf.In return for a promise not to continue cutting down the core woodlands of Cormanthor, the ancestors of the Valemen received permission from the elves to settle on the edges of those forests where no giant trees grew.

The day when the standing stone is erected is the beginning of the Yuan point of the valley calendar.

Since then, the relationship between humans and elves has become a recognized example of friendship throughout the world, just like the unbreakable friendship between the great fair eagle and John Bull.

But William knew a secret from ancient times. This valley, including the core woodland of Comanthor, was once the origin of human ancestors.In the era of the most glorious creators of human beings, human beings have secretly transformed this ancestral land beyond ordinary imagination, making this piece of land that once nurtured the ancestral line of human beings, but became barren and bad land due to over-exploitation, quietly. It has transformed into a real honey-flowing fertile soil.

One of the key problems is that this fertile ground does not work for all races.Only humans standing on this fertile soil can bring out the extraordinary of this land, while other races, including elves, can only enjoy the achievements of this land.

To put it simply, humans planted crops in the valley, and they would get super harvests; while elves or others existed here to plant crops, but they could only reap harvests equivalent to barren land.

In the most glorious time of ancient human beings, the ancestors of human beings sealed off this rural ancestral land that was being transformed. Time made it look like a virgin forest, and then it was stolen by the elves who later established the Kingdom of Cormanthor.
