I Became a Progenitor Vampire

ps: In the future, the update time will be adjusted to one chapter in the evening and one chapter at noon, twice a day.

Watching Collins, the 18th-level halfling city lord, leave the hotel, Dylan closed the door gently, turned around and looked at Li De, who was sitting in front of the round table with a calm expression, with some confusion.

"Your Majesty, do we really want to cooperate so vigorously with the halflings?

However, there is no way the power of this city can withstand our sword. As long as you are willing, this city can plant the flag of the City of Dawn in three suns.

The weak have no right to bargain with the strong. "

Hearing this, Li De glanced at the second-generation blood descendant angrily, "Are you raising a magic bat to make yourself stupid?"

Dylan was stunned for a moment, then touched his nose awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I"

"When I go back, I will study with Harrison for a while and practice my management skills and overall perspective."

Li De would not be polite to his blood descendants, "You have not been exposed to high-level things for too long, and your eyesight has fallen behind.

If you don't want to keep the magic bats forever, and you won't even be qualified to follow me on the battlefield in the future, just work hard to make progress.

This world has never been fair. If your talent is not as strong as others, then you can only work harder.

Dylan, don't let me down. "

The smartest among the second-generation blood descendants are undoubtedly Harrison and Frey. One of them is now the speaker of the city hall, and the other manages the trade between the low hills and the fishman tribe. They are both independent figures.

Although Dylan is still quite smart, he is obviously still far behind compared to the two of them and needs additional training.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Dylan lowered his head in shame. During this period, he had indeed been cultivating magic bats. He had not been with Li De for a long time, and he could no longer keep up with the rapid development of Dawn City.

The world has always been cruel and helpless. If you don't move forward, no one will wait for you.

Li De's expression softened slightly.

"Your doubts are not unreasonable. Although the Black Iron Castle has pretty good power, as long as we want to occupy it, we will definitely be able to capture it.

But have you ever thought about what happens after the occupation? ?

What is our purpose in occupying this city?

Is it to expand the territory? Is it to plunder resources? Or for something else? "

Dylan's face froze again, and he immediately understood how superficial his thoughts just now were, and took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, I understand."

"What do you understand?" Li De opened his eyes slightly and looked directly at this second-generation blood descendant, with the attitude of a teacher asking questions when he was in school.

Dylan responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the purpose of our coming to the dungeon is not to occupy this land, but to obtain more resources to promote the development of Dawn City.

Just like the low hills and hills, as long as the Black Iron Castle initially accepts the City of Dawn, the Black Iron Castle will be unable to resist the erosion of the powerful productivity of the City of Dawn.

Sooner or later, this halfling-dominated city will become part of the City of Dawn under its subtle influence. "

Li De's expression softened slightly after hearing this.

“Well, you haven’t completely lost your ability to think.

But this is only one aspect. The function of the Black Iron Castle is just this. You will know it later.

Have you counted the several cooperation projects I just asked you to record? "

"Your Majesty, the statistics have been completed. Do you need me to report again?"

"Say it again."

After receiving the order, Dylan picked up the notebook in his hand and began to repeat the terms of cooperation that Collins had just discussed with Li De.

"First, the halflings send no less than 300 bow and arrow makers to the City of Dawn to jointly set up a research institute to study and improve bows and arrows and other weapons and equipment, and share the results.

The City of Dawn will send 50 mages above level 5 to Black Iron Castle to help the halflings train mages, and promises to train at least 200 official mages within two years.

Second, the military mutual aid plan, the City of Dawn will send 2,000 human soldiers to Black Iron Castle, and the halflings will train them to become archers. At the same time, the training cost for each human soldier is 10 gold pukes.

The City of Dawn will dispatch professionals from ten professions including blacksmiths, tailors, and doctors, with a total number of no less than 200 professionals to help the Halflings of Black Iron Castle cultivate relevant talents.

Third, economic and trade exchanges and cooperation allow both parties to freely enter each other's cities for transactions and allow free circulation of goods.

Fourth, allow City of Dawn to preach in Black Iron Castle and recruit other races

Fifth, mutual assistance between offense and defense. In times of crisis, we can protect each other in the form of employment without endangering ourselves.

sixth"

There were nearly twenty scattered items. After listening to Dylan's summary, Li De nodded with satisfaction.

"These terms will be sent back to Harrison immediately," he said, giving Dylan a meaningful look.

"Dylan, the appearance of the halflings gives us a good opportunity, because no other force has ever entered the City of Dawn.

Now that it is under our control, safely introducing some outsiders into the city may be able to activate the potential of Dawn City to a greater extent. "

Speaking of this, Li De had some emotion in his eyes.

“The current City of Dawn is a planned economy. What is produced and how it is produced are all controlled by us. The advantage of this is that we can control the development of the city.

The disadvantages are also obvious. Things produced under such a system are not competitive and have no ability to innovate.

Merchants are all profit-seeking. Once trade is opened, there will always be people who want to earn gold from outsiders' pockets, and this will directly promote the development of the city. "

Trade has a strong stimulating effect on both the economy and society. Huge profits will prompt businessmen to improve production efficiency, improve production technology, and innovate more goods. This is why the market economy is the mainstream economic system on earth.

Dawn City has always been in the era of planned economy. There was no condition to do this before, but now an opportunity has appeared. Li De is naturally willing to make the market transition from a planned economy to a market economy in an orderly manner.

Of course, the premise of all this is that it is in his hands and is safe and controllable.

Halflings are a great test subject. These underground beings are not only underground but also extremely isolated from the human world.

He will next open up part of the market in Dawn City to turn these halflings into catfish and stimulate the development of Dawn City.

As for whether it can achieve the effect he wants, Li De is still confident about it.

The City of Dawn now has the foundation to develop a market economy and has already passed the early stage of extreme shortage of supplies.

The layout is never focused on the immediate future. After the placement, the focus is on the future.

“Dylan, don’t look at temporary gains and losses in anything you do, the future is what we have to plan for.

Be it the Black Iron Castle or the underground world, in my opinion, they are nothing but nourishment for the development and growth of Dawn City.

When you stand outside the chessboard layout, you will find that the problems that are bothering you now will be solved instantly. "

Li De's patient teaching made Dylan feel suddenly enlightened.

Unexpectedly, a cooperation that seemed like they were at a disadvantage would contain such profound meaning.

On the surface, he suffered a loss, but secretly he was already looking at the problem from another level. The benefits obtained by doing so were ten times and a hundred times more than what he paid for.

"Your Majesty, your wisdom is enough to amaze the Dark Goddess. The Holy Light Vampire Clan is great because of your existence!"

Li De glanced at him angrily. This flattery was too aggressive.

"Okay, take people to clear out the area assigned to us by the Lord of Collins City. From now on, you will be responsible for the affairs of the Black Iron Castle and all the underground world."

"Your Majesty, this" Dylan felt his breathing become heavier when he heard this.

A wave of pressure came over me.

The entire underground world puts him in charge. Is this too much responsibility?

"Are you trying to say you can't do it?"

Li De's eyes narrowed, showing a bit of coldness, "Frey can do it, what qualifications do you have to say that he can't do it?

Dylan, if he wants to grow, he must face pressure. A knight who cannot hold the sword and face the dragon's power cannot become a dragon slayer.

If you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight. "

Dylan was shocked, and his mentality immediately changed dramatically. When he turned to look at Li De, his eyes were filled with determination.

"Your Majesty, I will protect the underground world for you. No one can destroy your plan unless he steps over my body!"

His tone was decisive and firm as a mountain.

Hearing this, Li Decai nodded with satisfaction. As an old father, this is really heartbreaking. If I hadn't been your father, I would have kicked him out a long time ago.

After a moment, Li De seemed to remember something and continued to speak.

"Those halflings must forbid them from talking about what happened in the swamp."

He didn't forget that there was a semi-task reward that guaranteed that if more than 5 halflings returned to the dungeon alive, they would gain 10 points of underground world legend.

The problem now is that the six halflings have returned to Black Iron City, but the rewards have not been distributed, which also gave Li De other ideas.

Legend is probably what he guessed. It needs to be publicized and gained the trust of others.

But in order to avoid problems, he still planned to keep the halfling for observation for a while.

He has already come up with a lot of cool moves, and it will definitely be very interesting to implement them when the time comes.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have sent these halflings to work with the vampires. The vampires will supervise them."

On December 2, Li De rode Castro and galloped away from the Black Iron Castle where he had been staying for several days, his whirring wings leaving no trace in the air.

The second round of exploration of the underground world ended the moment Li De flew out of the Black Iron Castle.

This trip to the underground world lasted for more than half a month, and the harvest was definitely rich.

The first is the two giant tribes, the Two-Headed Ogre and the Cyclops. The total number of adult giants in these two tribes exceeds 1,800, and the number of cubs exceeds the two thousand mark.

The emergence of these behemoths will be an epic change for Dawn City.

There will be no shortage of labor force in Dawn City in the future.

It can only be described as invincible.

The second one is level. He has already reached level 18 experience at this time and can be upgraded to level 19 at any time.

Now he is only one step away from being extraordinary.

The third point is to establish a cooperative relationship with the halflings. This is an experiment of his and an additional layout for the underground world.

The experiment is to use the catfish effect, treat the halflings as catfish, and activate the untapped potential of the City of Dawn. The layout may not be able to see the effect until a long time later.

When Li De returned to the magic crystal mine, he made a special circle and left Asgarei, the level 19 evil being who had been hiding, here to continue to suppress the overall situation and prevent the two extraordinary spiders.

Then, by the way, the level 18 orc king Garp sent the magic bats to transport all the giants 20 kilometers away from the Black Iron Castle back to the Graystone Castle to speed up the construction of the magic crystal veins.

He has reached a cooperation agreement with Black Iron Castle, and these giants who are just in case are no longer needed.

Farming and development will be the main theme next.

When Li De appeared above the City of Dawn through the Burial Ground, looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, he felt as if he was in another world.

Winter moon.

After staying in the gloomy underground world for a long time, suddenly seeing the light on the surface can really make people feel good.

Turning around and looking around, the city of Dawn was now covered in a layer of plain white silver. The eaves, roofs, and even the chimneys were all covered with a thick layer of snow.

Only the streets that have been cleaned are still as clean as ever.

Huhu~

Castro flapped his wings in the wind and snow and slowly landed in the backyard of the city hall. Harrison, who noticed Li De's return, waited until Castro shrank and rested on his shoulder, and immediately stepped forward to say hello. .

"Good day, Chief."

Li De nodded slightly and felt inexplicably kind when he saw Harrison. This was an emotion he had never experienced before. The underground world is really tough on one's mentality.

"Let's go in and talk later."

As soon as he stepped into the city hall building, Li De's eyes lit up. It was as warm as spring inside, completely different from the cold ice and snow outside.

He glanced at Harrison with interest. It seemed that this guy had created a lot of good things in the past half month.

After going up to the third floor and sitting on the armchair behind his desk, Li De took a breath of comfort.

"Harrison, are you sure there's nothing wrong with Mr. Sparkle?"

The news of the sudden appearance of the Cyclops tribe made Li De decisively enter the underground world. For this reason, the flower of death he cultivated failed to be delivered to Green City in person.

Although Harrison also reported information midway, it was never confirmed whether Spark was cured.

"Patriarch, Miss Vina has not received any further news since she sent the Flower of Death to the White Tower. We are not sure whether Archmage Spark is safe now."

Li De frowned, but didn't say anything else. As long as the other party stayed in the mage tower and didn't come out, outsiders who wanted to find out the news were just out of their minds.

Although his cheap teacher is unreliable, there are still no loopholes to exploit in this regard.

"Apart from this, how are the other projects going?"

He had only been away for half a month. Although it was not a long time, for the rapidly developing Dawn City, not to mention half a month, even three days was enough for changes.

Harrison was well aware of all the progress and began to report in turn.

"Chief, all the infrastructure in the new city has been completed and is just waiting for new residents to move in. The construction department is already planning the third phase of the project."

"The ancient alchemy magic circle of the magic crystal veins is under construction. However, because we lack senior mages who are proficient in the magic circle, although the magic circle research department has been established, the progress is still slow.

The construction time cannot be estimated. If the Magic Circle Research Department can make progress, the construction speed will increase. If there is no progress, the construction time span will be several years. "

These words made Li De frown slightly. Spark had been building the ancient alchemy magic array in the Scarlet Mage Tower. He didn't understand the magic array at all, so he didn't know how difficult it was.

But now it seems that he still underestimated the difficulty of this magic circle that allows him to integrate with the Kingdom of God.

"We cannot relax on this matter. Talents can be cultivated and studied at the same time. This magic circle has an irreplaceable role for us."

"yes"

"continue."

"Patriarch, this population plunder plan is all planned by Otis. It is expected to start in half a month. The population plundered is tentatively set at 50,000 people."

Take action?

Why do these words sound like bandits? We are saving them.

Li De's eyes showed a hint of thinking. The population of Dawn City has now reached 100,000, which is considered to be the size of a small city among humans.

If another 50,000 people are plundered in this year's Winter Moon, the City of Dawn will be further expanded.

The current City of Dawn has finally grown up.

Thinking of this, Li De's eyes showed a bit of relief. This city he built from scratch, bit by bit, contained all his emotions.

Speaking of population, Li De thought of a more important thing: the Vampire Race was about to have its first embrace.

The annual Daybreak Festival is the time when the vampires first embrace each other. It is already December 2nd, and there is still less than a month left.

When he established the Daybreak Festival, he asked all vampires to carry out their first embrace, so now dawn every year is the time when the first embrace of the vampires is cooled down.

It was a double blessing.

The annual first embrace is the most critical way for the vampires to attack.

Although the proportion of armies of other races in the City of Dawn is increasing, the vampire race is his foundation.

Moreover, the potential of the Vampire Race is the highest among all races in the City of Dawn. As long as it is given a few more years, a Vampire Race Legion with over 10,000 people will appear.

At that time, the City of Dawn was qualified to be fearless of human sects.

"You just need to keep an eye on the matter of population plunder."

After briefly listening to the report, Li De stood up and went to the window. He looked out at the heavy snow falling like feathers through the misty glass window. Outside was the real world of ice and blood.

At this time, the warmth inside the house was in sharp contrast to the cold outside.

He turned his head and looked at Harrison curiously.

"It seems like there wasn't such a warm environment last year. How did you do it?"

When Harrison heard this, he showed some unconcealable pride on his face, "Your Majesty, this is the latest thermal insulation magic circle developed by the Dawn Master Tower.

You only need to consume one medium magic crystal every sunday hour to maintain a constant temperature indoors. "

One medium magic crystal per sunday?

Calculated in this way, it is not expensive. After all, the city hall has three floors, and each floor is very wide. A magic crystal is worth it.

But this incident also made Li De have other thoughts.

The winter moon is too cold. Many residents of Daybreak City burn charcoal for warmth. This puts a lot of pressure on the logistics department. Now every year before winter, a large number of trees must be cut down to make charcoal.

"Can you create a magic circle that can provide heating for the whole city?"

When Li De proposed this plan, Harrison's first reaction was to shake his head.

"Your Majesty, the consumption of the magic circle covering the entire city is too terrifying. Even if we have the magic crystal veins, we cannot sustain this amount of consumption for a long time."

However, Harrison's veto did not disappoint Li De, but gave him more inspiration.

Heating on Earth relies on heating hot water and using hot water channels to deliver the heat to residents' homes.

But Dawn City is obviously not suitable for copying Earth’s practices, because many things don’t come together.

So is it possible to make magic changes?

After all, this is a magical world. What can be done on earth, why can't it be done with magic?

"Harrison, I have a new plan that may change the living habits of our residents."
