Villains of All Worlds: Starting with the Beautiful Vampire Bride
Chapter 123: The Demihuman Country and the Northern Witch
Low-level subhumans only have beast-like consciousness and are stronger than ordinary people.
The meaning of the existence of this kind of subhumans, in addition to becoming slaves, is to become a reproductive machine in the hope of raising intermediate or advanced subhumans.
The higher the level of the subhumans, the higher their wisdom, and the higher the chance of understanding the power of elements.
Among the advanced subhumans, in addition to the cave dwellers mentioned above who are good at elemental enchantment, the gray dwarves who are good at alchemy and forging, and the Lemons who are good at communicating mysterious powers, there are many other subhuman groups, each with their own strengths.
And the main purpose of Vlad's coming this time is naturally to buy slave creatures and prepare in advance for the upcoming plane war.
War is not as easy to fight as imagined, nor is it a snap of the head, everyone goes shoulder to shoulder, and it's over.
For wars between countries, except for special circumstances, it takes more than half a year to a year just for the preparation of materials and military mobilization in the early stage, and even more years or even more than ten years to prepare.
Not to mention the plane war, the collision and "communication" between worlds.
Planar war is not just a war between one power, but a battle between the entire planet and the entire world.
This is why Vlad established the Dark Council to win over the major powers.
Now that he knows the existence of the major subhuman races in the underground world, Vlad will naturally come to find out whether it is worth winning over.
And winning over is not just a matter of the leaders of both sides meeting and talking. It also includes many interests and calculations, as well as the legacy factors such as the history of grievances between the underground and the surface. These will have to be left for later.
Even if it fails to win over, it is a good choice if an order for slave creatures can be completed.
I think that for the underground world with extremely scarce supplies, no one will refuse this huge temptation. After all, for them, these low-level subhumans are just a burden.
This time, Vlad is not only accompanied by Angelique, Cretia, and Cinderella.
It also includes Ani, the chief guard Dumitru, and the Solomon sisters who have always served as the commanders of Vlad's airship.
As a spellcaster, he would naturally feel curious and eager to learn about any mysterious and unknown things.
Vlad would not stop them from tirelessly exploring and pursuing knowledge and truth.
Led by Kretia, the group began to move deep into the underground world.
Even Kretia needed a map to guide her in this intricate underground world.
The underground world is not only populated by subhumans, but also by many monsters.
Monsters are a general term for magical creatures by humans. Magic beasts, tree demons, ghosts, etc. can all be called monsters.
Strictly speaking, all subhuman races, including Vlad, can be regarded as a branch of monsters.
Vlad and others moved deeper into the underground world without deliberately restraining their own breath.
The life level of the third-level strongman can be said to be the top existence in the entire dark world. Even if the subhumans who discovered their traces, they would not be bored.
Except for some blind monsters along the way, the group soon arrived deep underground.
Lava City, a city near the underground volcano, is also the first underground city that Vlad came to.
From a distance, you can see a low crater, which is constantly spewing out thick mist, and red rays of light are constantly shining over the city.
Lava City, a border city of the Gray Dwarf Kingdom, did not encounter any obstruction when a group of people came.
Vlad and others can clearly see that there are many witches and demon hunters in this gray dwarf city.
Listening to Kretia's explanation, these witches are all under the command of the Northland Witch, including these demon hunters, who are all vassal knights of the witch.
After nearly a thousand years of development, the Northland Witch Organization has already reached a certain consensus with certain ethnic groups in the underground world. This city is one of the cities in the Gray Dwarf Kingdom that is open to the Northland Witch.
It was through Cretia that Vlad learned that the Northland Witch Organization relied on some secret connections with the underground world to maintain orderly development.
Before Vlad's rise, the Northland Witches already had three Level 2 witches, which shows how powerful they are.
Among them, Vivian, the leader of the Northland Witches, is even more powerful.
It is still unknown whether she has reached Level 3, but according to Vlad's judgment, even if she has not, she is not far from a breakthrough.
"Take us to the best store first. I heard that the gray dwarves are best at alchemy and forging. It's a good opportunity to see if there are any props I need here." Angelique said to Cretia.
After getting Vlad's consent, the group went to the best store in the city.
On the way, everyone inevitably looked at the surrounding buildings. The first impression of this city was rough, which may be related to the character of the gray dwarves.
Since low-level gray dwarves are not qualified to enter the city, the sub-humans encountered here are all composed of intelligent intermediate gray dwarves.
It is precisely because of these intelligent mid-level demihumans that they were able to establish a demihuman nation that is not inferior to human civilization.
Their clothing is not much different from that of humans, but it is more worn out. To a certain extent, it is even worse than that of ordinary human townspeople.
This may be related to the social system or the lack of materials.
"Sorry, witch, I'm afraid our store can't meet your requirements." The gray dwarf boss, who was 1.5 meters tall, wearing a gorgeous black robe and a pair of single-frame metal glasses, said politely to Angelique.
This is a high-level gray dwarf, which is in sharp contrast to the middle and low-level sub-humans outside who are as dirty as moles and ragged.
From this, it can be seen that in the sub-human kingdom, there is a more serious class concept than that of humans.
The best micro-alchemical power furnace in this alchemy shop is slightly inferior to the one Angelique is using now. I'm afraid that if you want to buy the equipment you like, you must go to the capital of the gray dwarf kingdom, the City of Sharp Blades.
It just so happens that whether it is to buy a large number of slave cannon fodder or to win over the gray dwarves, you need to go there.
After the Solomon sisters each selected a high-power element microscope, Vlad and his friends left here.
"Kretia, we won't cause any trouble when we enter the gray dwarf king's city." Vlad asked.
"Don't worry, this Gray Dwarf King gets along well with us. Many of the resources we need come from him." Kretia whispered.
It seems that the Northland Witch Organization and these underground subhumans have secretly done a lot of resource swaps.
Aren't you afraid of being retaliated one day? Or is there another hidden story?
Vlad looked at Kretia meaningfully.
Under the leadership of Kretia, Vlad and his party headed towards the Gray Dwarf King City.
Along the way, Kretia briefly introduced the origins of the Gray Dwarf Kingdom and the Northland Witch.
In the dark world underground, there are many subhuman races, including the Gray Dwarfs, and a total of four subhuman kingdoms have been established. In addition to the four subhuman kingdoms, there are many subhuman races that live in the form of tribes. The ancestors said it well, those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
This sentence is also in line with the current actual situation of the underground dark world, because of factors such as population growth, resource scarcity, and food shortage.
The major sub-human races have been fighting for their own interests and living space. For hundreds of years, the major sub-human races have accumulated countless blood feuds, and various calculations and interests have long been filled in the underground dark world.
It is precisely because of this that these sub-human races do not have enough strength and ambition to break out of the underground.
Their minds have long been placed on the internal disputes between each other, and they are out of control.
As for the major sub-human races, are there any human strongmen who intervene and instigate in these interest disputes?
Haha, based on the principle that whoever benefits is the most suspicious.
Just look at the current development trend of the Northland witches and the various secret connections between them and the sub-human races, and you will know what role the Northland witches play in it.
And in fact, this is indeed the case.
Through Cretia's slightly vague description, Vlad's guess is indeed proved.
In addition to the countries established by the gray dwarves and cave dwellers mentioned above, there are also countries established by the Lemons who are good at communicating with mysterious powers, and the Minotaur who are good at driving magic beasts and planting magic herbs.
These four subhuman countries fought against each other, and then involved many subhuman tribes of all sizes, and were deeply involved.
As for who started the incident at the beginning and what kind of chaos happened, Cretia did not reveal it, or she was not very clear.
She just told Vlad that the Northland Witch had saved the Dwarf King and thus gained the friendship of the Gray Dwarf Kingdom.
In addition, there are many subhuman tribes that have certain interests involved with the witches.
From this, it can be seen that the Northland Witch is quite complicated.
In this way, Vlad had to change his next strategy.
As long as he came into contact with the Dwarf King, he was afraid that the next moment, he would immediately attract the attention of the Northland Witch, and Cretia, the chess piece, would be immediately exposed, and cause the Northland Witch lineage to be suspicious of him without reason.
For Vlad, this not only violated his original intention of forming the Dark Council, but also caused a very unnecessary conflict.
"Angie, you don't have to follow the next trip to the Moore Forest. At that time, you will be responsible for contacting the Northland Witch lineage, and at the same time, through the hands of the Northland Witch, to contact the subhumans.
As for the purchase of slave creatures, you are also responsible. I will send someone to assist you!"
Without hesitation, Vlad immediately made new arrangements.
While everyone was talking, they arrived at the Gray Dwarf King City, the City of Sharp Blades.
This is a majestic and spectacular city made entirely of obsidian. In this city with countless gray dwarf creatures, Vlad suddenly found that there were dozens of auras that were obviously first-level witches and demon hunters.
It seems that his decision is very correct. Vlad thought to himself.
With a thought, Vlad immediately suppressed his aura to the first-level range, so that it would not be conspicuous.
As they entered the city gate, several mental waves indeed swept over here. After discovering Cretia, they retracted. One of the mental waves came from a northern witch lineage.
Nodding silently, everyone did not hesitate, and led by Cretia, they went to the top alchemy shop in Sharp Blade City.
I heard Cretia say before that high-level gray dwarves have alchemy forging technology that makes most spellcasters ashamed. This is indeed true.
In this alchemy shop, Angelique found a miniature alchemy power furnace that met her requirements, and even a set of large alchemy equipment that Sky Island is currently in urgent need of and requires higher precision.
It is precisely because of the lack of higher precision alchemy equipment that some strategic weapons and equipment that are being developed for the plane war have been suspended.
According to Angelique, it will take at least 20 to 30 years for the Sky Island Alchemy Laboratory to develop it.
If there is such a set of samples that can be disassembled for research, it will take less than ten years to develop it by itself and start mass production.
When Vlad heard this, he thought there was such a good thing, buy it!
At the same time, he looked at Angelique with admiration. Although the original purpose was not achieved this time, it was worthwhile to have such a harvest.
"Thank you for your patronage, thirty second-level energy essences, or three hundred first-level energy essences." The high-level gray dwarf who entertained Vlad and others was a rare first-level sub-human, but his mercenary look was really annoying.
Hearing this number, Vlad was obviously stunned. It was not because he thought it was expensive, but because he thought it was much cheaper than he thought.
So, he happily took out thirty second-level energy essences, which made the owner of the store's eyes light up: "Fat sheep~!"
"Ahem, several distinguished guests, our store has just received a Starlight Stone that can communicate with other worlds. I wonder if you are interested."
Obviously, the owner of the alchemy store was attracted by Vlad's generosity. After completing this transaction, he immediately promoted other products.
Kretia obviously knew that Vlad had little knowledge of the magical products in the dark underground world, so she whispered to introduce them to several people.
The Starlight Stone, also known as the Starlight Gate, is a rare one-time space prop used to communicate with unknown different planes.
The other side of the Starlight Gate may be a powerful level 4 or above strong man, or it may be a weak ordinary creature in the different plane. Whether you can benefit from the Starlight Gate depends on your luck and character!
"Don't worry, I smuggled this from the country of the Ryders. After being identified by the witch of the North and the forging master of our gray dwarfs, it is definitely the best stuff." The senior gray dwarf boss introduced it diligently.
The Ryders are good at communicating mysterious powers. Their achievements in astrology are not inferior to those of astrologers, and even slightly exceed them. The introduction of the gray dwarf boss is indeed very practical.
"How much is it?" Angelique asked. Space props that can communicate with different planes are indeed very rare, especially props of this random nature.
"Fifteen second-level energy essences." The subhuman boss rubbed his hands happily and said.
Here we have to talk about the currency used in the extraordinary world today.
In general, everyone tries to use gold coins as the main trading unit.
Energy essences are only used when it comes to trading important magic materials or props.
Energy essences exist as important energy materials, whether they are used to assist in cultivation, for alchemy magic experiments, or for magic arrays and equipment manufacturing.
Given the barrenness of the dark world today, it is almost a matter of time before it is used up, and it is a precious resource that cannot be regenerated.
Plane wars are not only fought for money, but also for obtaining more resources to feed back to themselves. Otherwise, with the current resources in the dark world, it is difficult to give birth to a level 4 creature.
The most basic energy unit is the energy crystal, which is suitable for creatures below level 1, and the level 1 energy essence is suitable for level 1 creatures.
Currently, the highest level of energy essence found in the dark world is level 2, and it is very rare.
This is also related to the barren energy environment of the dark world.
