Chapter 384: Ceremony

While Henry and his party were enjoying a sumptuous dinner and discussing how to raid the Talisman Stronghold, in the Mage Tower in the ruins of Baldur's Gate, Shantil was presiding over the promotion ceremony of the vampire girls. After such a long hunt, nearly half of the vampires have reached adulthood, and another ten or so have become elites. They formed a huge circle, allowing the moonlight to shine through the cracks and fall on everyone.

"Under the shadow of the moon, above the blood and soil, rise today, and our generation is about to gain eternal life. Beyond night and day, beyond body and soul, the power of blood boils, in the name of the True Ancestor. ”

All the vampire girls chanted loudly together, their pale faces filled with adoration and obsession. As the chanting grew louder and louder, the entire basement's huge pool of blood seemed to boil like boiling water. Under the guidance of an unknown force, the crimson blood gradually rose into the air, gathered into a huge sphere, and then spurted out columns of blood and flowed into everyone's mouth.

This blood carries a special power, and every vampire who drinks it and prepares to be promoted feels a huge amount of power in his body. But the power was clearly a bit rough, rampaging through their bodies, tearing out almost all the organs, except for the final heart.

A blood-covered mist enveloped the entire basement, causing the girls to fall into a semi-comatose state and stand up in a daze. One by one, they jumped into the pool of blood like dumplings, bathed in viscous plasma, and the whole scene looked both seductive and terrifying.

Shantil watched the ritual go closely, as the pool of blood was about to be drained. She immediately chanted aloud: "The power of blood flows in the body, and the darkness will be the refuge of our generation." Wake up, king of the night. You have a new lease of life. ”

As the last syllable fell, the vampire girls struck a fierce spirit and regained consciousness. They were surprised to find that their strength, agility, body, and thinking ability had been greatly improved, and many of them had directly awakened the power of innate magic.

Looking at the young girls who were trying their new powers, Shantil nodded in satisfaction. The ritual went very smoothly, and it can be said that it exceeded the original expectations, and more than half of the vampires entered adulthood. There are also more elites than expected. It seems that it is more than enough to kill one Luoshanda Temple with these powers, and there is no need for himself and the two giant dragons to do anything.

She cleared her throat and loudly announced, "Quiet! Any idea why I am performing such an important ceremony today? Because the master gave the order! It's midnight in two hours, and you're going to disguise yourself as another vampire force to attack the heavily guarded temple. and kill all that is alive in it. There may be many companions who will die there, but many more will be rewarded by their masters. Now sue me, do you have fear in your hearts? Doubts? ”

A girl who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old knelt on the ground and swore loudly: "No! We are the sword in the hands of the True Ancestors! It's a protective shield! His enemies are our enemies, even against the gods. ”

"Very good! Now sue me by your name, as the first to make a vow. You have the qualifications. Maybe the master will promote you to be the leader of all the vampires when he finds out. With that, Shantil began to look at the petite girl. Although she looks very short. But it's by far the most powerful of all vampires. The rich negative energy on his body can hardly be concealed, and I believe that if I maintain this progress for another half a year, even if I walk in the sun, I will not be burned to ashes.

"My lord, my name is Trixis, and I am the first vampire born from the blood of the True Ancestor." The girl looked up and replied.

Her delicate face looks like a doll, and if you ignore the sticky plasma on her body, she is as harmless as the little girl next door. But anyone who has studied vampires knows what kind of power is contained in this body. Two slender arms and small hands can lift and tear a cow in half, and the deadly fangs hidden under the cherry mouth can suck an adult strong man alive in the blink of an eye.

Shantil smiled and nodded. "That's right. I remember. Trixi, you are their temporary leader from now on. Now go get dressed and put those badges on. Remember, leave a few in place when the quest is completed. With that, she tossed a bag of Nightblade Guild badges on the ground.

The reason why the action time was set at midnight was to block out the perception of Losanda. You must know that this deity symbolizes the sun of dawn, and nature and darkness are mortal enemies. At this stage, his strength in the main material plane is the weakest, and he is not able to perform divine punishment and incarnation at all. As long as they are fast enough, they can all evacuate before they can react. The only clues left at that time are vampires and emblems, and a little investigation will lead to Bardy's guild.

Shantil apparently doesn't know that the real vampire queen Bardy has been killed by Henry and replaced by the divine vampire Veran, and of course she now claims to be the real Bardy. But what does it matter, if Loshanda can find Joan. It's even better on Erenikas's head. I believe that no one likes to be chased by a group of gods, even if they are as powerful as a legendary mage, they will have to pay a considerable price if they want to solve it.

Ten minutes later, a large swarm of bats flew towards the temple of Losanda, east of Belgost, under the cover of night. They carried several scrolls of the ninth-level magic "Otherworldly Gate" with them, ready to be released together to disrupt the enemy's sight during the raid.

After all, there is a knight order of about fifty people stationed near the temple, and the combat effectiveness of a large number of priests is simply outstanding. That's why Henry is so determined to eradicate this place, because they are too much of a threat to the ruler. It is believed that once there is a time to suppress civilian riots, the Knights Templar will definitely be on the opposite side of the government.

Los Angeles' teachings and actions have always been known to be positive and enterprising. At best, it is called courage, and at worst, it is impulsive and utopian. It is this reckless character that leads to the famous historical event "The Disaster of Dawn", which leads to the consequences of extremely strict zhòng, the complete fall of several gods, and the gods of the good camp have not forgotten to this day.

It can be said that this is one of the few gods that Henry hates the most. Compared to the cautious and serious god of justice, Trom, the god of loyalty and courage, and the god of guards, Losanda is too far behind, although he is a powerful god and has a wide range of influence, there are not many things that can really be done.

Octagos yawned on the spot and asked, "Those little bats really don't need our help?" ”

"No, no. We must now rush to the barracks near Eltorel, or we will be too late. I'm sure these vampires will be able to do their job, especially with so many scrolls carrying. With that, Shantil stepped onto the dragon's back. She's been delayed for a long time, and now she has to get down to business.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go. I can't wait to show off on the battlefield, and I'm sure those mortals will have a wonderful look on their faces when they see the dragon appear. Oloxes flapped his wings and left the ground. It let out a dragon groan excitedly, and there was silence within a radius of several kilometers, and even the insects consciously stopped calling.

Otagos glanced at his nemesis with disdain, and immediately took off to follow. It felt that the black dragon was simply childish, and it would not gain any benefit at all to intimidate mortals, and it would be better to rob a few of the same kind. You must know that the two young dragons don't even have a treasure of their own, and if they spread the word, they will definitely be laughed to death by the other dragons.

Dragons, especially dragons, compare each other with who is stronger, who has more mates, and whose treasure is the most valuable. It's like comparing people now with each other who has more power, who has the most mistresses, and who is richer. If you're an evil dragon and don't even have a decent treasure, then you basically don't expect to be favored by other female dragons.

The arrogant brown dragon Otagos was not willing to endure this humiliation, so he secretly made up his mind to master the great power first, and then find a few other of his kind to ransack it. Of course, if you meet a beautiful female dragon, she doesn't mind taking another look. Anyway, they are all evil dragons, as long as they don't provoke too powerful enemies, Henry will definitely not care.

As for the black dragon Oloxeth, it is much simpler. It only wants mortals to fear itself and win the trust of its master. In short, this guy's mind is still a little immature, and the female dragon and treasure are not yet in the scope of consideration. However, it is quite (sexually) interesting for humanoids, especially plump and mature human women.

Facing the night wind, two dragons with very different personalities flew eastward along the south bank of the Okina River. There is hardly anything on the ground that can escape their sharp eyes, and at a height of thousands of meters, they can even see mice fleeing in all directions. More than two hours later, Otagos spotted signs of human activity in a wood. It turned its head and asked the sorceress on its back, "Look, there are quite a few humans moving over there, are you looking for a target?" ”

Shantil squinted her eyes and looked closely, and saw the military flag hidden behind the trunk of the tree, embroidered with Henry's family crest. She smiled and nodded and replied, "That's right, find a place they can't see and land first." I don't want to rush forward so rashly, otherwise it will definitely cause unnecessary commotion. ”

"As you wish. The clearing behind the woods is nice, not only close, but also not visible. As he spoke, the brown dragon made a big circle and began to land in the rear not far away. The black dragon also followed, and soon, the two guys directly transformed into human forms and slowly approached in the direction of the camp.

Under the cover of night, no one noticed anything out of the ordinary, not even the scouts in charge of the sentry. After all, most of the danger comes from the ground, and who would be idle and staring at the sky all the time.
