I Became a Progenitor Vampire

Chapter 367: The Halfling’s Journey of Faith in the City of Dawn (Part 1) (5,000 words)

"Clesen!! Execute the order, this is a military order directly issued by the Lord of the City!!

Remember, although you are the most outstanding genius among us, you were picked up by Black Iron City! ! It was Black Iron Castle who trained you. Without Black Iron Castle, your brain would have been eaten by those dirty monsters. You have to give everything you have to repay Black Iron Castle! ! "

"What if I refuse?! This is not the first time. What I paid is more than enough to buy my ten lives!!"

"No, you have no right to refuse. You have only one mission now. Go to the vampire city, and then work with them to develop bows and arrows. At the same time, you can spy on their intelligence and bring back all the news about that city."

Bang~

After a heated argument, the halfling herald slammed the door and left.

Clayson Graypaw, the young halfling's hands were clenched tightly and his eyes were full of anger.

"Am I just a tool in your eyes??

I developed and produced the most powerful bows and arrows for Black Iron Castle, improved the siege crossbow, and made the sharpest arrows, which increased the power of Black Iron Castle by at least 30%, but in the end, I am still not trusted by you? ?

Just because I am not a descendant of the Gray Claw tribe, but was picked up by you from the enemy tribe after the war? ? "

After a long time, Clayson sighed dejectedly.

"Forget it, just go to the vampire city, maybe they don't intend to let me come back alive this time.

It's really ridiculous to say that if I hadn't developed such a good longbow, maybe I could still live as peacefully as before...

Damn bastard, you want to send me to a vampire to die just to get the credit! ! Bastard! ! "

But no matter how you complain, military orders are military orders. Black Iron Castle's orders may be lenient to other halflings, but they are particularly strict to him.

Because he was an alien who was picked up from the tribe that was exterminated by Black Iron Castle after the war. If it weren't for his outstanding research talent, he might have been excluded from the army long ago.

Standing up and adjusting his blue robe slightly, Clayson had a subtle expression.

"These vampires shouldn't be able to make such exquisite and luxurious robes. Does the vampire's castle still lead to other cities on the surface?

If I wasn’t forced, I would really be very curious about the surface of the earth...

Legend has it that the surface of the earth has warm sunshine, snow can be seen in winter, there is endless food there, the land is fertile, and there are few dangers..."

After thinking for a moment, Clarkson smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it, that's a human city, but I went to a vampire's castle.

Their city must be built in a dark and humid cave, which is dark and dark, with bats hanging from the ceiling, and the surrounding rock walls are covered with water and moss..."

Thinking of this, the young halfling felt helpless. If he had a choice, who would want to go to that kind of place?

"Lord Clayson, everyone is ready..."

At this time, a sudden knock on the door interrupted Clayson's random thoughts. He took a deep breath and the young halfling made up his mind.

"After I come back this time, I will resign from the army. Even if I only open a small shop making crossbows in the city in the future, I will no longer serve the so-called Gray Claw tribe.

You have never regarded me as one of your own, and you should take all the credit for anything you encounter. If you encounter a damn task like going to the vampire city, leave it to me..."

Bang bang bang~

"Lord Clayson??"

Eee~

Clayson pushed open the door and looked at the halfling soldiers in front of him calmly.

"I'm here, is the team ready??"

The halfling soldier wearing black leather armor and carrying a long bow nodded, "Ready, sir."

"Well, let's go."

"yes!"

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Clayson turned his head with some reluctance and glanced at the house behind him where he had lived for more than ten years. Although the room made of black iron and stone walls was not big or high, it carried countless of his memory.

Maybe this house no longer belongs to him after he comes back this time, because it is where the army is stationed.

Walking on the black road, the magic lamp lit up only one after a long distance.

There is no so-called day and night in the underground world. The light is always so dim. Only the clock in the city can determine the time.

When we arrived at the gathering place, the black heads of three hundred people seemed very depressing.

The leader stepped forward and saluted.

"Lord Clayson!"

"Is everyone here?"

"We are all here, 300 people. You need to lead everyone to the third military camp to ride the Black Pecker Eagle. They will send you to the City of Dawn."

City of Dawn, Clayson couldn't help but twitching his lips when he heard this title.

A city of vampires called the City of Dawn...Halfling God above, this was the funniest joke he had ever heard.

But in front of his subordinates, he could only remain serious.

Although he was only twenty-five years old, Clayson won the position of captain of the Second Squadron of the Bow and Arrow Manufacturing Department with his outstanding talent.

If the bow and arrow he developed last time hadn't been taken for himself by that damn captain, who even sent him to a vampire city just to get credit, maybe he could be promoted to captain next time.

Thinking of this, Clayson looked a little unhappy and glanced at the crowd.

"Everyone, let's go!"

It's a chore, but Clayson doesn't want others to think there's something wrong with him.

In fact, this team is not the most elite bow and arrow manufacturing personnel in Black Iron City. At least Clayson can recognize that there are many people who are not favored by their superiors in the army and are marginalized.

I shook my head in my heart. Sure enough, the people sent to the vampire city this time were all a group of unlucky ghosts.

The mood became a little darker again.

Without thinking any more, he led the team out of the military camp.

But when he just stepped out of the military camp, on the street outside, a group of humans wearing pure white priest robes were distributing food to the old and weak halflings begging for food on the street, which attracted Clayson's attention.

He knew who these humans were. They were the Dawn Sect missionaries who came to Black Iron City yesterday.

Although it was strange why a vampire city was preached by humans, Clayson didn't pay much attention to these priests.

He has always been extremely disdainful of these people, pastor? Are they the same group of priests in the Halfling Temple in Black Iron City who charge expensive fees for every treatment?

Haha, what a bunch of hypocritical blood-sucking worms, it’s disgusting...

Therefore, although he would shout that the halfling god is above him, he never believed in gods. He firmly believed that there was no god in this world worthy of his belief except himself.

The two parties passed each other, but unexpectedly, the female missionary from the Dawn Sect showed a gentle smile and did not treat him with the same indifference because of Clayson's indifference.

That warm smile made Clayson feel a little better.

"If I can get a few more smiles like this when I go to the city of vampires, maybe this trip will be enough..."

Claeson thought with some extravagance, but then shook his head. Meeting such a smile in a vampire city? He must be dreaming.

Maybe the other party showed such a smile because they came to Black Iron City, this majestic and free city.

Thinking of this, Clayson's face was filled with pride. Although he did not recognize the Gray Claw tribe, Black Iron City was different. This was also the city that raised him.

With some strange emotions in his heart, Clayson led the team to the third military camp and sat on the Black Pecking Eagle.

He had no yearning for that vampire city at all, not at all. Maybe the place they went to was worse than the vampire castle mentioned by the bard, and this might be a disastrous experience.

However, this is not something he can resist.

The young halfling who likes to think wildly waited until the black pecking giant eagle flew away from the black iron city before he came back to his senses. He glanced at the black iron castle that looked like a giant beast lurking behind him.

There was an inexplicable feeling in my heart, as if this time I went to the legendary dark and bloody vampire city, I might have a different experience.

"Is the environment there worse than imagined? God, please spare me..."

——

——

——

After flying for nearly ten sunday hours, the team of black-pecking giant eagles slowly stopped in front of a military fortress.

The next scene made Clayson feel very strange.

Because he saw orcs in this castle called Greystone Castle. Yes, it was surprising enough that there were human missionaries under vampires, but now there were orcs? ?

Those vampires enslaved so many races? ?

Although he wanted to pry out some information, Claisen still failed to seize the opportunity under the surveillance of soldiers strictly guarding him.

After entering the underground passage from the cave behind Graystone Castle, he entered a huge cave.

Clayson bets that these orcs must want to hollow out the mountain, otherwise how could they dig such a large cave.

Then he saw the legendary vampire's exclusive mount, the giant bat.

God of Halflings, this is a monster bigger than the Black Pecker Eagle. Two days ago, they said that the human missionaries were riding on this monster when they came. Unfortunately, he was experimenting with a new bowstring material at the time. did not see.

But it feels good to sit on it.

This young halfling's thoughts are extremely active, and his brain is always spinning.

Maybe Li De knew the other person's habits and would definitely give him the title of a spirited young man.

Huhu~

Flying in the cave was extremely thrilling. Claesen felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. How could these weird big bats make continuous sharp turns without being hurt? ?

If it were a black-pecker giant eagle flying inside a cave, it would probably hit the wall directly when turning a corner soon. It’s such a strange life.

It felt like he had been flying for so long...

But after the initial thrill, Clayson quickly became bored and fell asleep.

Damn, he missed his lab, he just got a new Warcraft sinew and experiment this morning, maybe this strange material can improve his last bow string...

Just when Clayson lost his mind, suddenly there was a cry of surprise from around him, and then a closed rock wall appeared in front of him.

There is no road!

Clayson's eyes suddenly opened wide, and the drowsiness he had just disappeared immediately, and he exclaimed loudly.

"Stop, damn bastard, there's no road ahead!!"

But this passage is only a few hundred blades long, and it takes just a few breaths to reach the rock wall.

The giant bat under Clayson ignored his shouts and continued to flap its wings and hit the rugged rock cliff.

Just when Clayson's body arched up suddenly and he was about to jump off the Magic Bat, suddenly there was another exclamation from the front. The Magic Bat that was the first to reach the rock wall actually passed through it.

The door to space? ?

Claeson's face froze, and he felt instantly relaxed, and then felt a little embarrassed. Was his reaction just now too big, a little embarrassing...

Sure enough, when his magic bat flew over, it did not crash into the cliff, but instead came to a new place.

Claeson only felt his body go cold, and then entered a space filled with gray aura, but he had already flown out before he could react.

Passed through the gate of space?

Before Claisen could regain his senses, an extremely cold breath hit him.

The amount of clothes he wore in the underground world was like bathing naked next to a clean pool in the summer in this cold.

Under the high-speed flight of the Magic Whispering Bat, which even gave him a few mouthfuls of cold air, Clayson shivered a few times and his teeth chattered.

But the young halfling could no longer care about anything else. At this time, his heart was filled with shock at what he saw in front of him.

Snowflakes like white feathers fluttered down in the sky, with a cold and very special touch, and they quickly melted when held slightly in the hand.

Although the light was slightly dimmed due to the snow, to Clayson it was like a magic lamp shining into his eyes.

It is completely different from the underground world.

Looking into the distance, his vision was extremely wide, and he could even see the sky far, far away.

Amazing.

Clayson felt like his soul was being baptized.

Lowering his head slightly, the ground was already covered with a thick layer of white snow, and the whole sky and earth were completely white.

"It's so shocking?? Is this the surface world?

I know that this thing falling from the sky must be snow! !

Hahaha, it’s unbelievable. There is such a thing as snow in this world. Is this a gift from the Creator God? ?

Halfling God, how wonderful it is! ! "

When the young halfling saw the unexpected scenery, he forgot his worries and his face was filled with joy and smile.

After a while, after all the magic bats came out of the open space door, the vampire leader of the team inspected them again, and after confirming that there were no missing people, he said loudly.

"Friends of Black Iron Castle, welcome to the City of Dawn. Next, I will take you to the new city of City of Dawn. I hope you can leave a beautiful memory in this great city..."

The sound echoed in the sky, and before anyone else could respond, the magic bat turned around and flew towards the other side.

All the magic bats immediately followed. At this time, Clayson came back to his senses. After looking around for a while, he finally saw the city covered in ice and snow.

City of Dawn.

"This, how could this be a city of vampires???"

Looking down from the sky, Clayson couldn't even see the end of the city. Various towering buildings emerged one after another, no worse than the black iron castle that had been passed down for thousands of years, and even the building area was wider.

With his heart filled with shock and disbelief, Clayson opened his mouth wide and was given several mouthfuls of cold air. He coughed a few times before he recovered.

By the time he flew over the city, Claisen's eyes were filled with surprise.

This city is not only vast, but more importantly, there are so many humans walking back and forth on the streets.

Is this a joke? ?

It doesn't matter if vampires send humans to preach. In such a big city, vampires can't see a few places but they are full of humans.

Is this a vampire city? ? ?

With a strange feeling in his heart, Claisen slowly landed on the square in the center of the city under the guidance of the vampire leader.

Seeing their arrival, the surrounding residents who were watching the excitement immediately gathered around.

During this time, goblins and dwarves talked and laughed with each other, humans and orcs were shoulder to shoulder, and the air was filled with the joyful atmosphere of gossip and theater.

"Damn goblin, you won the bet, and you guessed that you were going to land in this square. Bastard, why did you guess correctly??"

"Hahaha, do you dwarves all have stones in their heads? The notices around the square have announced that these five gold coins are mine!! Praise the Lord of Cachar!"

"Is this a halfling?? Hahaha, it's exactly the same as the one painted on the propaganda wall..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, are these guys really underground beings? Although the lower body is alien, the upper body is actually quite energetic. What are they here for?"

"Haven't you heard? These halflings are going to join the Magic Industrial Research Institute..."

"Hey, I'm so envious. The Magic Industrial Research Institute has a salary of two gold coins a month..."

"Bah, what do you know, three pieces!! My brother's neighbor's daughter's friend is a member of the Magic Industrial Research Institute! I know!"

"What, it's increased again?! I must go back and teach my son a lesson. He failed the exam all day long. If he fails to pass the higher school of Dawn Academy and becomes a member of the Magic Industrial Research Institute, I won't break his legs. !

I keep running all day long to see what kind of heating and vegetable greenhouses the building department is building. It pisses me off! "

Clayson looked at the crowd of people around him who were as excited as if they were visiting rare animals, and was stunned for a moment.

Dwarves, goblins, orcs, humans, and even Cyclops, forget it, what the hell is a two-headed ogre? ?

How can these chaotic beings live in such harmony in a city? ?

Where is the promised vampire city? ? ?

Why is this? ?

What about the Magic Industrial Research Institute, what about heating...

At this moment, he wanted to turn around and ask the vampire leader if they were in the wrong place? ?

And these humans, haven’t you seen that they are an army? Why dare you talk so loudly? ?

Where is this place? ? ?

The young halfling was disheveled in the cold wind...
