Broad World

Seeing the extremely cheating attributes on the weapon, Henry smiled on his face. Now that I have finally obtained the key to enter the vampire's lair, the next thing to do is to go back to Baldur's Gate and find the priest of Gond (God of Crafting and Forging) for more detailed information. He performed the last "teleportation" technique of the day and arrived at the gate of the magnificent Palace of Mysteries.

After paying the tour fee, Henry went straight to the innermost part to ask the priest about the secret of the giant sword. The priest of Gond took the saying that knowledge is money to the extreme. This gentle-looking man asked for 10,000 gold coins and refused to bargain.

Henry knew that he was slaughtered as a fat sheep, but he made a note of this hatred first, and he would slaughter it back later when he found a chance. After paying 10,000 gold coins happily, the priest of Gond told the legend of the cellar with a smile on his face. It is said that the person holding this sword can open the treasure of ancient vampires, and the location of the treasure is very hidden, and it is said that the entrance is surrounded by rapids.

Having received an important hint, Henry immediately returned to the Earl's Mansion and began to use divination spells for divination. After more than two hours of scouting, he finally obtained the specific location. The entrance to the treasure is in the middle of a river north of the Gnoll Hold, and only those with Vampiric Vengeance in hand can get in there through the Immortal Servant.

After marking the location on the map, Henry told Sandy who was standing cautiously aside: "Go and prepare, and explore this place with me tomorrow. Also, go and inform Robert, saying that I need a thief who is proficient in detection and dismantling traps."

"Master, Robert is not in the city right now. A dark elf was accidentally captured while assassinating a nobleman a few days ago, in order to prevent the plan from being leaked. He took the Terminator to deal with it himself." The sorceress replied with a slight bow.

Henry frowned when he heard the news. Although not afraid that the dark elf will say something. However, he was a little unhappy that the plan was not going well. All attention is now on the city. The defense forces of villages and towns are at their weakest. Who on earth has such a big deal that he can capture the dark elf assassin who is proficient in stealth and assassination alive at night?

"Do you know the specific circumstances of that dark elf's arrest? I don't believe that a country noble has such ability."

When Sandy heard this question, she suddenly covered her stomach and burst out laughing. "Hahahahaha! Sorry, master. I can't help it anymore. That nobleman has a special habit. He makes the servants wipe the floor with lard every day, which can make the marble floor look brighter. And when the unlucky dark elf assassin fell through the window, he slipped and hit the armor shelf and passed out."

Henry patted his forehead and sighed. I have to say that this guy is really unlucky enough, but since it was an accident, then Robert can definitely handle it well. It seems that tomorrow will not be accompanied by thieves. He needs to prepare a few more second-level magic "detection traps" just in case.

It got dark soon, and Henry went back to his room to rest after a simple dinner. At midnight, an assassination was quietly completed inside the Flame Fist. Duke Iltan was seriously injured by a sharp dagger, and Ska was decapitated. Sarevok told the officers and shapeshifters who took refuge in him: "I'm going to Candlekeep right away, and you must integrate all the mercenaries as soon as possible. Remember, our ultimate goal is to start a war, and the combat effectiveness of the army is very important."

"Don't worry, those ordinary Yanquan soldiers will listen to whoever pays them. They only need to spend a little more gold coins, and they will be obedient."

"Very good, I now appoint you as the commander of the Flame Fist. The council's appointment will be issued tomorrow. Remember, look after the injured Duke. Don't let him run away." Salovek patted the officer on the shoulder, turned and left the Flame Fist headquarters. He needs to say hello to Lena Janus, and then he can start to kill his adoptive father, as well as those high-level officials of the Iron Throne.

In the early morning of the next day, Henry got up early and had breakfast, and took Shandier to the mountain range north of the Gnoll Fortress using the group "teleportation technique". As soon as the two left, a messenger arrived on the back. He sent notice from the Council that Duke Yultan was seriously ill and Skar was missing, so a new commander was appointed.

Henry doesn't know about the great changes that have taken place in the city now, but even if he knew, he wouldn't be too surprised. Going north along the river, the ogres and hobgoblins along the way were all cleaned up by Shandier with magic. After several hours of exploration, the two finally felt the wave of magic in a very fast-flowing section of the river.

Taking out "Vampire's Revenge", Henry blessed himself with several protective spells before slowly approaching. Suddenly a red light flashed on the sword, and a small piece of land rose from the center of the river. A person in a gray linen robe said in a low voice, "Welcome, great master Nosferatu East Khazar."

Sandyle's nerves were high. She felt that the man in gray in front of her was extremely dangerous and might endanger her life. Henry walked over to observe it, and found that the speaker was actually a magic puppet made of vampires. His face was pale, his two fangs protruded slightly, but his blood-red eyes were empty and lifeless, and he looked like he had been dead for a long time.

"Relax, this is just a thoughtless puppet." Henry stroked the sorceress' long fiery red hair and comforted her.

Sandy breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her nerves a little. She carefully checked how the puppet was made, then turned her head and said to Henry: "Master, even a puppet is so powerful, his master must be even stronger. If this ancient vampire is still alive, we are no match at all."

"The legend of the cellar has been circulating for thousands of years. Even if this vampire is still alive, he is just a mummy. To restore his strength, he needs to suck the blood of at least hundreds of people. I will not give him such a long time." After speaking, Henry ordered the puppet to teleport himself and the sorceress underground.

As soon as they entered the cellar, the two smelled a smell of decay and blood. Countless corpses were embedded on the wall, forming terrifying and weird pictures. The arrival of the stranger alarmed the guards here, and soon some stone golems and fear war monsters swarmed in, and there were even a few dry-faced vampires behind them. It seemed that they hadn't drunk blood for a long time.

Henry quickly blessed himself and Sandy with the fourth-level magic spells "protection from negative damage" and "death barrier". To deal with undead creatures, especially vampires, these two magical spells are necessary, because they will not only suck the blood of their victims, but also erode the body and cause organ dysfunction. In more digital terms, it is a temporary loss of professional level, and only the fourth-level magic "secondary restoration" can restore it.

Looking at the surging enemies, the sorceress sneered, and cast the tenth-level magic "Comet Spell" without hesitation. I saw that the top of the cave was torn apart suddenly, and a huge burning meteorite fell through the crack. There was a loud bang, and the entire cellar was shaking non-stop, as if it was about to collapse.

The powerful shock wave blew the two of them more than ten meters away, and the enemy at the center of the impact was completely flattened. The huge crater was full of golem arms and fragments of the Dread War Demon armor. Shandier chanted the spell loudly, and it didn't take long to summon the three swords of Mordencan, and wiped out the remaining enemies.

After killing all the guards, the two explored the interior along the tunnel. Henry finally experienced the power of a senior warlock. Although Sandy doesn't know many spells, she has several times more spell slots than a mage of the same level, which can still make up for this deficiency. She carried out the policy of bombing and killing all the way to the end, whether it was a vampire or a puppet creature, they were all blown to pieces. A few ancient vampires were even more unlucky. They were directly captured by the eighth-level magic "Soul Cage" into gems and used as materials for making magic items in the future.

Opening a coffin, Henry grabbed a handful of gems and said to the sorceress, "This ancient vampire is really rich. Look at these rough stones, they are all the best. And those ancient vampires just now are also very difficult to deal with. If it wasn't for the fact that their power was not weakened due to the lack of blood for a long time, I'm afraid it would take a lot of effort to kill them."

Sandy Er played with the soul in the gem and nodded with a smile. "These souls are very powerful, and they are very good alchemy materials. Now I am looking forward to seeing the owner here more and more. I believe that the soul of an ancient vampire must be able to make a powerful magic item."

Following the passage, the two quickly came to the deepest part of the cave. The vampire made into a magic puppet stood next to a sarcophagus carved with intricate patterns. Even if the lid was not opened, Henry could still feel the strong negative energy gathered inside. After re-blessing spells and spirits, he walked over carefully and lifted the lid on it.

Suddenly, the negative energy turned into a shock wave that shattered the sarcophagus and exploded. Even with the blessing of "protection from negative damage", the two living people still felt a biting cold. Henry quickly got up from the ground and prepared to fight. If the ancient vampire really awakened, then he would face a life-and-death battle next.

The black negative energy gradually dissipated, only to see a pale man lying motionless on the ground. He looked so young, and his body didn't turn into a mummy like Henry imagined. The two looked at each other and leaned towards each other slowly, and soon they found that it was just a corpse, and the soul in the body had long disappeared.

Sandyer checked the condition of the body and found that the vampire had died at the end of his life. As we all know, vampires have a very long life span, so long that ordinary humans can live forever. In fact, these guys will die normally, but most of them will not live that long and will be killed by priests, paladins or adventurers of the temple. (To be continued..)
