I Became a Progenitor Vampire

From last year’s winter months to this year’s planting season.

Green City fell into an inexplicable solemn atmosphere.

God, things have changed.

Orcs, undead, and even the Murloc Empire are putting pressure on the southern province.

People were coming and going on the streets of Green City, but most of the pedestrians were in a hurry and their expressions were very solemn. Even the wandering warblers who used to solicit customers on the street corners subconsciously lowered their voices at this time.

The mercenaries wearing blood-stained armor were full of murderous intent. The trophies in their hands were no longer the corpses or furs of monsters, but skulls flashing with soul fire.

Several priests of the Temple of Life, wearing pure white priest robes with sacred and loving expressions, were distributing holy water diluted hundreds of times to the surrounding crowd along the bluestone streets with dark green moss growing in the gaps on both sides.

Although the holy water in cheap glass bottles has lost its ability to treat injuries and diseases due to its scarcity, it can still barely resist the invasion of low-level negative energy.

The patrol team, which moved neatly and well-organized, changed from its previous domineering behavior. At this time, they all looked on guard and were carefully patrolling the city.

Most of the beggars on the street were now gone, and even the number of civilians coming and going was much sparser.

The difficult environment made the small businessmen who opened their semicircular shop doors on both sides of the street frown and look at the increasingly abnormal scenes on the street with worry.

Every time a pattern changes, the people who are most affected are not the nobles and those in power, but the lower class civilians with small assets.

Pull all your body, and in the waves, no small fishing boat can avoid the storm's attack unscathed.

"I heard that although the undead in the north have retreated, the death cemetery is still there. I guess it must be those damn undead who stayed there intentionally!"

"No, that's what the undead left behind on purpose. They can send troops in at any time during the next invasion."

"Sigh... Archmage Spark didn't expect to be hit hard by the undead. Even such a powerful mage couldn't withstand it. We are afraid that we will be attacked more brutally this time when we participate in the attack on the death cemetery. After all, Even His Majesty Locke cannot directly destroy and take out the Death Cemetery..."

"Haha, what can we do?? This is a task forced by the major guilds. We have signed a treaty before joining the guild. We must stand with the guild when encountering a major crisis.

It's okay for you to be a Thieves Guild. If you can't defeat them, you can still leave from the shadows. Our Fighters Guild is afraid of risking our lives inside. "

"Hmph, those damn mages! If the Mages Association hadn't proposed to gather the power of all guilds to clear out that weird death cemetery, would we have gone through so much trouble??"

"There is no way, who makes the lives of those master mages more precious than ours..."

"..."

Before stepping into the Scarlet Mage Tower, Li De, who had just returned to the City of Dawn, heard an angry conversation between two mercenaries on the mysterious street belonging to the Scarlet Mage Tower.

Li De's eyes showed some contemplation. He didn't expect that the situation in Green City would change so quickly, and even the guild's power would be mobilized.

In Green City, the most powerful guild is undoubtedly the Mage Association. Almost all of the high-ranking mage masters are the great nobles of Green City. They have influence in various industries. They belong to the unshakable boss and the most powerful protector of Green City - the extraordinary mage Locke. He is the president of the Mages Association.

Several other powerful guilds control most of the professionals in Green City, including the mercenary guild, which mainly accepts and issues tasks, the adventurer guild, which mainly explores ancient ruins, and various other organizations such as the thieves guild and the warrior guild. A guild of professionals.

These large guilds are the most powerful force in Green City. As for the nearly 60,000 soldiers controlled by the city lord, they are inconspicuous under this power.

"Betty, are we in the Scarlet Mage Tower being called up?"

Li De turned his head and looked at the heroic Valkyrie beside him and asked.

"No," Betty shook her head, "The magic scrolls produced by the Scarlet Mage Tower are important materials to resist the undead in the north. We have not been drafted."

After finishing speaking, his tone paused slightly, "But in exchange, the magic scrolls we currently produce cannot be sold to any other force. All scrolls are purchased by the major guilds."

Li De nodded clearly. At this critical moment, the nobles of Green City must try their best to mobilize all resources and power.

It is not surprising that the Scarlet Mage Tower is restricted, and it has no effect on them at all if it is not sold to anyone.

But the problem now is that the remaining undead are probably more troublesome than imagined.

"Lord Li De..."

Before stepping into the door of the Scarlet Mage Tower, a voice full of excitement sounded from inside the door.

Wearing a blue mage robe, with waist-length blond slightly curly hair, and sapphire-like eyes shining brightly, the pretty figure ran towards Li De with a face full of excitement.

Looking at the girl in front of him who had obviously lost a lot of weight, Li De's eyes flashed with tenderness.

He reached out and rubbed the girl's head.

"Vina, long time no see..."

Weina's inner joy overflowed after seeing Li De. She obediently turned her head and let Li De stroke her long, slightly curly golden hair.

"Yes, Lord Li De, you went out before the winter moon last year, and it has been half a year now..."

"Half a year," Li De said with a somewhat emotional expression, "it really passed by in the blink of an eye. Let's go in and talk."

Wei Na quickly got out of the way, and then saw little Isa and Betty, and quickly said hello to the two girls.

Li De couldn't help but feel very good looking at the three pretty figures, each with a swing.

A cute little disciple, a well-behaved maid, and a wild Valkyrie, this combination is perfect.

Stepping into the Scarlet Mage Tower, after half a year of construction, although the Scarlet Mage Tower is in much better condition than the previous construction site, it is still a bit messy, and many dug trenches have not been filled with soil.

Li De felt a headache when he saw this scene.

This ancient alchemy formation has almost become a problem for him.

After investing so much, the construction has not seen results for more than a year. If Sparks hadn't been building it himself, he would have really wanted to stop this gold-swallowing behemoth.

If the funds invested were replaced by alchemy bombs, hundreds of thousands of troops could be destroyed.

However, thinking about Sparkle De, he frowned a little. He didn't know what was going on with his cheap teacher now, so he had to go and check on him while he was waiting.

After entering the mage tower, Li De did not stop on the first floor, but went directly to the study room on the third floor where he was used to working.

Towering oak bookshelves are placed close together, with precious books one after another covering the shelves.

Although I haven't been back for half a year, the place is still tidy without a trace of dust.

Li De nodded with satisfaction. After entering the room, he of course refused to let him sit on the armchair behind the only desk in the study.

"Weina, please report on the situation of the Scarlet Mage Tower during this period, starting with the number of personnel."

He has been away for so long that he has become somewhat unclear about his family background.

He must know everything.

As the helmsman, he does not need to personally move the sails, but he needs to know how many sailors, how many sails, and how much food his ship has.

When Wei Na talked about the business, her expression gradually became solemn, and she began to adopt the demeanor of the manager of the Scarlet Mage Tower who caused waves in Green City and even the Southern Province.

Wei Na is now a well-deserved rising star in the Green City business community, and she is still the brightest moment.

She was even called the Queen of Commerce by a small group of nobles who had dealt with her.

"Lord Li De, our development has not stalled in the six months since you left.

The Scarlet Mage Tower currently has 120 official mages, including a total of 15 intermediate mages who have reached level 5.

There are 650 mage apprentices.

There are 200 guards in the team, 180 people at levels 5 to 9, and 20 people have reached level 10. This group of guards was bought by Betty at the Bloody Arena. "

With 120 formal mages and 650 mage apprentices, the Scarlet Mage Tower currently has 770 mages.

This is an exaggerated figure.

Before the Winter Moon of the year before last, the Scarlet Mage Tower did not even have an official mage, only 22 mage apprentices. Now, in less than two years, it has become a powerful force with as many as 700 or 800 mage members.

Although the level of these apprentices is generally not high at present, it is not too difficult to spend a certain amount of resources to train a group of high-level mages when the Scarlet Mage Tower's earning power is so exaggerated.

"Is the guard formed separately or managed by the Scarlet Mage Tower?" But it was this guard that aroused Li De's interest.

Weina heard this and turned to look at Betty, who shrugged indifferently.

"Currently, Betty is fully responsible for the management of the escort team. They provide protection when our caravan goes out to purchase important supplies, or the escort team will also provide support when there are mages who need protection."

Li De nodded. There is no doubt about the power of the mage, but the Scarlet Mage Tower is obviously not as terrifying as the White Tower. Therefore, the formation of this guard team is not bad. At least it can prevent the Scarlet Mage Tower from being secreted before it is fully developed. The enemies of the earth come from the underworld.

Although it doesn't sound good to say that the Mage Tower has a team of warriors, he has always been pragmatic.

Turning his head to look at Betty, who was slightly distorted at this time, Li De smiled at the Valkyrie.

“In the future, the size of the escort team will be expanded to 500 people. If you need financial support, you can apply directly to Wei Na.

Betty, this escort is under your jurisdiction. In the future, you can buy a separate area near the Scarlet Mage Tower as a base.

My only request is that you train this escort team to be strong enough. "

Hearing Li De's unexpected words, Betty's face with clear outlines like a mixed race showed great surprise.

"No problem, I will train this army using the same training methods as the strongest Northland warriors."

Li De smiled slightly. The Valkyrie of the North, a powerful being whose combat skills have reached the legendary level, would be a waste of resources to simply put it in the Scarlet Mage Tower as a mascot.

Since the other party has this intention, he might as well support it.

Only when the power in his hands is strong enough will he be confident.

"Move on to the next item."

"yes,

The second item is revenue from Scarlet Mage Tower. Our revenue is divided into three categories.

The first category is the magic factory. Currently, the magic factory produces 1,000 magic scrolls every day, with a monthly output of about 30,000. The current selling price of the magic scroll is 9 gold pukes, after deducting the cost of 3 gold pukes. , the profit per card is 6 gold pukes, and the total profit per month is about 180,000 gold pukes.

The second item, Mysterious Street, we used the attraction of magic scrolls to build a street selling various weapons and magic scrolls outside the Scarlet Mage Tower. Because of the shopping points and membership system, Mysterious Street is currently the most prosperous place in Green City. A gathering place for professionals.

Mysterious Street can contribute about 30,000 gold Puke profits to us every month.

The third item is Jinmai Chamber of Commerce.

After two years of rapid expansion, the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce has now become a large chamber of commerce in Green City, relying on the protection of the Scarlet Mage Tower and its vast network of contacts.

Grain, cotton, salt, and cloth are all involved in these industries. Although the share is far less than that of the big nobles in Green City, the profit earned every month has reached 10,000 gold pukes, and the potential for subsequent development is still very high. big. "

Adding up several projects, the Scarlet Mage Tower’s monthly income reaches 220,000 gold pukes.

Definitely twenty small goals a month.

But Li De shook his head, not too touched by this.

The City of Dawn is getting bigger and bigger, and the places where money is spent are also increasing day by day. Although the Scarlet Mage Tower makes money quickly, it can't stop him from using it faster.

220,000 gold pukes are not enough to make 10,000 alchemical bombs.

Thinking of this, Li De smiled bitterly.

You are making more and more money, but why do you always feel poor?

"Have the furs we returned from trading in the hills arrived? How long will it take to digest them?"

When Wei Na heard Li De's question, her beautiful blue eyes pondered for a moment and then said slowly.

"This batch of Warcraft furs has replenished our nearly depleted inventory, but the magic factory has limited productivity. It will take at least three months to digest them all."

Li De frowned, his digestion speed was a bit slow.

A few days ago, he sent second-generation blood descendants and withered bones to open up new trade routes in the hills and mountains, and exchanged armor with other centaur tribes for warcraft skins. After a week of trading, Dawn City earned at least millions of coins. Kim Puke's Warcraft Skin.

Of course, this profit premise refers to the value of the Scarlet Mage Tower made into magic scrolls and sold.

But the embarrassing thing now is that the amount of Warcraft fur is too huge, and the Scarlet Mage Tower cannot digest it immediately.

Li De couldn't help but shook his head when he thought of this. This was also the reason why he wanted to build a magic factory in the City of Dawn.

The geographical location of the Scarlet Mage Tower is destined to be difficult to continue to expand, and as the Hoof Tribe becomes his agent in the low hills and hills, there will be a lot of furs in the future.

He couldn't wait for the Scarlet Mage Tower to digest the loot every time, that would be a waste of time.

"Okay, we need to hurry up on this matter. I have cleared the low hills and hills. From now on, the Scarlet Mage Tower will no longer be short of Warcraft furs."

The hills and hills are barren, but with millions of centaurs supporting the Scarlet Mage Tower, these resources are definitely enough.

"Also, is there any news about the advanced magic scroll manufacturing technology that I asked you to pay attention to?"

Low-level magic scrolls can no longer satisfy Li De's appetite. The Scarlet Mage Tower will also undergo industrial upgrading in the future, from low-end manufacturing to high-end manufacturing.

But before that, the problem of lack of high-end magic scroll manufacturing technology must be solved.

Wei Na shook her head in embarrassment.

"High-level magic scroll manufacturing technology is very rare. Generally, it can only be found in ancient ruins. It can only be bought on the market after adventurers or mercenaries excavate it and auction it.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to see this precious manufacturing technology on the market. "

The magic scroll manufacturing technology that leaks out in the world is usually found in ruins. An assassin or warrior adventurer will naturally have no need to use this kind of treasure. It can be sold in exchange for gold puke or professional equipment. It's not uncommon, it's just that there are relatively few manufacturing techniques for magic scrolls with levels above three levels.

"Pay more attention to these situations, and if you find anything, take it down at all costs, whether it's an overt price or a secret price."

Li De has deep eyes. As the dark boss, he is not a being from the good camp.

As long as the goal can be achieved, it is okay to use some extraordinary means.

This is to seize the living space. There is no justice or kindness, only benefit or harm to the vampire family.

"Yes, Lord Li De, I have reached an agreement with the major nobles in Green City. No matter who sells high-level magic scrolls to the Scarlet Mage Tower, the type of magic scrolls produced by the Scarlet Mage Tower in the future will be It is less than 50% of the market price and has been sold to the seller for three consecutive years.”

This agreement is really courageous. Li De nodded with great satisfaction. I am afraid that the nobles of Green City are more active than the Scarlet Mage Tower.

Judging from the current production situation of the Scarlet Mage Tower, the profit from the lower five floors brings them more than ten or two hundred thousand gold pukes every year.

And it lasted for three years...the benefits were enough to make any noble feel excited.

Not all nobles have the terrifying blood-generating ability of the Scarlet Mage Tower. Nobles whose monthly Jinpuke income reaches 100,000 gold are already extremely rare in Green City.

"Very well, you will be responsible for this personally.

By the way, to what extent is our ancient alchemy magic array currently constructed? "

Li De couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth when he thought of the potholes outside the door.

"Due to the three months since you were asleep, we mobilized all the Jinpuke to purchase magic crystals, which resulted in a shutdown.

Then two days ago, Archmage Spark was invaded by the aura of death. Although his life was not in danger for the time being, he was afraid that he would not be able to continue construction in a short period of time.

If Archmage Spark can start building now, maybe it will be completed by this Winter Moon. "

Li De shook his head after hearing Wei Na's words, "Let's put this matter aside for now." He was not sure what Spark's situation was, and it was hard to make too many arrangements now.

"Is there anything else?"

Wei Na nodded, her tone a little solemn, "Due to the fishman empire's blockade of the coastline of the Nolan Empire, we currently have at least three materials for making magic scrolls that are about to be exhausted.

Although I have sent chambers of commerce to other cities to search for it, and I am also seeking purchase from major nobles, but the current results are extremely unsatisfactory.

If it is not replenished in the future, the magic factory will cease production for up to three months. "

The fishman empire, Li De wanted to complain inexplicably, you, a submarine race, came to the road to join in the fun.

"I'll figure this out. Now go prepare the handlebars. I want to go to the White Tower first."

Li De shook his head. These matters cannot be solved in a short time. It is better to go see Spark first.

The Scarlet Mage Tower, a force he established with his own hands, will not be beyond his control. He can just let it go and let Wei Na, who has been perfect in everything she does until now, take full advantage of it.

Although Spark is currently under extraordinary care and his life is not in danger in a short period of time, it would be too much not to visit him immediately after his disciple returns.

"Master Li De, the car will be ready when you come back. You can use it at any time." Wei Na stood up immediately, with deep tenderness and admiration in her eyes.

My little maid is always so considerate.

Li De nodded with satisfaction and turned his eyes.

"Isa, are you going to visit Grandpa Sparkle with your teacher?"

Little Isha, who had been sitting next to Li De and remained silent, nodded immediately, "Well..."

After hearing this, Betty also stood up and stared at Li De with a serious expression.

"Green City is not safe recently. I have to protect Isa."

The corner of Li De's mouth twitched slightly. If you want to follow, just say so. It's not that I won't let you go. This excuse is really... too weak.

After walking out of the mage tower, he got on the spacious carriage that had been prepared and headed towards the White Tower with the crisp sound of horse hooves hitting the bluestone ground.

Isha sat quietly next to Li De. The little girl peeked at him from time to time, her little face was full of satisfaction.

Wei Na and Betty sat opposite Li De. Wei Na seemed to have stars twinkling in her eyes. She looked at her master so tenderly without shying away from the other two girls.

Even after Betty got on the carriage, she still didn't let go of the giant sword in her hand. She gently wiped her palms on the cold black sword, but she was also looking at the person who seemed to be hiding a dragon inside her body, intentionally or unintentionally. figure.

The eyes of the two people touched from time to time. Every time, the Valkyrie of the North would turn her head quickly as if she had been burned by fire. A faint blush appeared on her face, but she pretended that nothing happened and just wiped the sword in her hand. The speed will subconsciously speed up a few points.

Li De ignored the little thoughts of the girls and was just thinking about the turmoil caused by the recent changes in the situation.

Although the Scarlet Mage Tower currently has enough Warcraft furs, the magic raw materials in the deep sea are a big problem. If the Murloc Empire keeps blocking the Blue Sea Province, there will be a shortage of two to three magic raw materials in the Scarlet Mage Tower within two months. Case.

We still have to find a way to solve this matter.

But how to solve it gave him a problem for a while.

The carriage was not moving slowly. About half an hour later, the towering spire of the White Tower appeared in front of the somewhat troubled Li De.

After the carriage stopped, Li De shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and got out of the car with a group of people.

When Li De came to the gate of the White Tower, the gate guarded by nearly thirty mages was heavily guarded. However, these mages did not dare to stop Li De at all after seeing Li De, and quickly invited Li De into the tower.

Before entering, two senior mages with levels as high as 10 came out of the tower.

Li De happened to know the ones who helped train the mage apprentices in Dawn City.

"Good day, Mr. Li De."

The two senior mages saluted Li De very respectfully. As a disciple of Spark, although Li De had not been in the White Tower for a long time, his status was much higher than that of ordinary senior mages.

"Good day, take me to see the teacher," Li De said without any intention of being polite.

The senior mage wearing the White Tower's iconic white mage robe hesitated and glanced at Betty behind him, who was holding a giant sword.

"Your Excellency Li De, this lady cannot carry weapons."

Li De raised his eyebrows and didn't even bother to speak.

With a slight movement of magic power, the aura of a level 15 boss was exuded, and the aura exclusive to the blood clan of fear was also activated at this moment.

Fear began to spread at this moment, everyone felt as if they were being targeted by a giant dragon, and their legs were weakening.

The surrounding air was as thick as mercury, and the guarding mages could hardly breathe at this moment.

Fortunately, the intimidation was over in a flash, and Li De didn't even say a word. The senior mage no longer dared to stop him, and obediently let Li De be led into the mage tower.

After Li De's figure disappeared on the stairs, the senior mage who faced Li De's majesty came back to his senses from the extreme panic.

"Lord Li De... is so strong??!"

The faces of the more than twenty official mages guarding the surroundings were now full of fear, and one of them boldly spoke in a trembling voice.

"Lord Kona, Lord Li De...did he become an archmage? Why is his aura so close to Lord Spark's..."

Kona, who was so frightened by Li De that his legs were weak, remembered the terrifying aura and stammered with undisguised fear.

"No, I don't know..."

At this time, everyone had calmed down, and when they thought of the scene just now, they felt extremely complicated.

Maybe everything can be faked, but they have seen the aura of a level 15 archmage in Li De from Sparks too many times, so there is no way it can be faked.

Immediately, an answer appeared in everyone's mind that almost suffocated them - level 15.

Lord Spark's disciple and the tower master of the Scarlet Mage Tower, Lord Lid Kachar, has probably exceeded level 15! !

"Lord Li De, you must have reached level 15..."

Following the trembling figure of a mage, the scene fell into deathly silence.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the already empty stairs...with mixed feelings.

Under the guidance of the two White Tower mages, Li De took the three girls to the study room of the White Tower, which was naturally where Spark was located.

"Lord Li De, Lord Spark is reading in the study..."

"It's hard work, you go down,"

"Yes, sir." The few mages who had experienced the scene just now did not dare to say anything more. After saluting, they hurried away, as if they were afraid that Li De would cause something new.

After the two White Tower mages left, just before Li De was about to push the door in, he suddenly seemed to think of something.

There was something strange in his eyes.

He turned to look at the three girls staring at him eagerly and coughed lightly.

"You three wait here, I'll go in first..."

After saying that, he knocked on the ajar door. After getting no response for a long time, Li De was too lazy to wait and just opened the door and walked in.

The light inside the house is a little dim. Gray Mountain's plush carpet covers the ground and is very soft when stepped on.

Spark's study was at least five times larger than his. Tall oak bookshelves were connected to the ceiling. The densely spaced oak bookshelves could only accommodate one person's body walking around. The thick atmosphere of books filled the entire space.

But Li De's expression was extremely exciting at this time, because in front of the only desk in the study room, his cheap teacher Sparky was holding a chicken coop on his head and drinking a small drink happily.

And his desk is filled with scrolls exuding magical energy fluctuations.

Most of the pictures recorded with magic are of young girls. The most important thing is that the girls in these pictures are wearing... basically nothing.

Li De had a dark look on his face.

In broad daylight, you, a well-respected old man, are doing something bad and are sitting alone in the study.

Sparky, who was looking at the scrolls happily, suddenly frowned. He felt something was wrong and turned his head sharply. He was stunned the moment he saw Li De.

Why is this bastard here? His expression suddenly changed.

He immediately jumped up, turned his back on all the scrolls on the table, and shoved them into the drawer inside the table.

After cleaning up, Spark stared angrily at Li De, who had knocked on the door for a long time and barged in without opening the door. He slammed the wine bottle in his hand that he was reluctant to put down on the table. The red wine splashed from the small mouth bottle. He yelled at Li De angrily.

"Boy of the Cachar family!! Who asked you to come in!! Do you know that I was studying magic just now?!

You almost caused the magic model I finally condensed to collapse!

Cachar! ! You interrupted an archmage's path to transcendence! !

The goddess of magic is above, you will definitely be punished! "

Li De looked at the lively Spark and twitched the corner of his mouth.

Who said this old man was invaded by the aura of the undead? ? Stand up and see if I don't beat you to death.
