Chapter 242: Shantil's Research Progress
After carefully observing the situation outside, Jasila turned her head and whispered to everyone, "It looks like we're already wanted." Outside there were patrolling Flame Fist soldiers, more than three times as many as usual. We must demolish Shalofok before he becomes a duke, or we will have to prepare to gesture for our lives. โ
"These bastards! I must expose the Iron Throne for what it really is! And the shalovk who dared to calculate us, all of them will have to pay! Apodell stomped his foot in anger.
Just as Henry was about to say something, two thieves suddenly came out of the shadows of the alley. With a cynical smile on his face, the leader walked up to the crowd and made an exaggerated hat salute.
"I'm sorry to disturb you. First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Mark and I am currently employed by the Iron Throne. I know you have a great interest in destroying this organization, but it's that that makes it very difficult for us. The main purpose of coming here today is to warn you not to try to investigate anything related to the Iron Throne, or the next time you see me, it will mean death for everyone. โ
Apodell laughed angrily. His eyes glowed red, and there was an aura of death all over his body. "Haha First to frame all of us as criminals, and then to send someone to warn us that we are not allowed to continue investigating? You two lackeys of the Iron Throne! Prepare to die! โ
Mark and his accomplices saw the Son of Baal rush up with their weapons raised, and immediately drank a bottle of invisibility potion and disappeared in place. By the time Dinah Black Shi showed his invisibility, the two thieves were already gone. The Son of Baal spat at the ground and cursed, "Phew! Think that's going to scare me? Two idiots who don't know whether to live or die! If you dare to show up next time, you won't have such good luck as today. โ
"Ignore those two thieves, let's discuss what to do next. Now the Duke of Iltan is dead. The only person who can stop Shalovok is Anta. Silver Shield and Lena. Two dukes of Jenas. If we want to bring down the Iron Throne. You have to get in touch with one of them. Jasila smiled wryly and analyzed the current situation for everyone.
Henry immediately waved his hand when he heard her words. "Your analysis makes a lot of sense, but Lena. It's better not to touch Jennas. As far as I know, she is actively pushing Shalovok to become the new duke, and this woman is also one of the political enemies of the Duke of Irtรกn. โ
"So our only hope is Antah. Duke Silver Shield? Dinah asked with a frown.
Henry shook his head with a smile before pointing at himself. "And me. I don't want to admit it, but I'm also the second most noble in Baldur's Gate after the Duke. As a field count, I still have some influence here. And Anta. Duke Silver Shield and I are political allies, and as long as we join forces, we should be able to fight against Shaloferk.
"Wow! It's the best news I've ever heard in a while! Apodale rushed over and gave Henry a hard hug. So what are you waiting for! Hurry up! I can't wait to see what Shalophok will look like after his defeat, and then use my sword to cut off the flesh off his body piece by piece. โ
"It's not as simple as you think. Now the merchants and nobles in the area around Baldur's Gate have been attacked by mysterious assassins. Almost all administrative systems have been paralyzed. Shalovok blames Amm for all of this, but I think it must be another plot on his part. So you have to continue to investigate further, and I will contact Anta as soon as possible. Silver Shield tries to win over allies to prevent this guy from becoming a duke. โ
Henry did not hesitate to put Robert's assassination on Shaloferk's head. Anyway, this guy is already a lot of lice and doesn't itch, and he doesn't have to worry about debts. When the time comes, as long as he dies, everything will be over. Anyway, in the eyes of the world, the sons of Baal are some dangerous guys, and no one will find it strange to do any crazy things.
Jasila sighed slightly. "Well, our hopes are all in you. Shalovok's war plan must be stopped, otherwise the entire Sword Bay will be strewn with corpses. โ
"Rest assured, I will definitely do my best. Also, when I'm not around, remember to be optimistic about Apodell and Aamon, they are easily impulsive. The other likes to stir things up. With that, Henry waved his hand at the crowd and walked in the direction of the Earl's Court with the Roll Crate Golem.
Look at Henry's back in the distance. Jasila patted the dust off her body and said to Apodell, "Let's go, it's time for us to act." Taking advantage of the cover of night, go to the Flame Fist headquarters to investigate the situation first. With that, she put on her hood and went into the middle of nowhere.
Upon returning to the Earl's Court, Henry dismantled his magic and returned to his original state. He first sent someone to ask for Antah. Duke Silver Shield, and another signal to Robert. After doing these things, I went to the basement to see how Shantil's experiments were progressing. As soon as I opened the door to the basement, a pungent smell of extreme blood came to my face. Thirty naked teenage girls were nailed to the walls, not only with pale complexions, but also with vampire-like fangs in their mouths.
"Shantil! Now give you five minutes to explain what's going on here. If the answer doesn't satisfy me, you know the consequences. Henry's grim gaze swept across the basement, resting on the sorceress's face. If the woman can't give him a satisfactory answer, then a mental whipping is indispensable.
Putting down the ongoing experiment in her hand, Shantil hurriedly ran over and knelt down to kiss her master's boots. "Great master, I have figured out how to create newborn vampires from the blood of ancient vampires. While they are still a little out of control, I've found a breakthrough and believe it won't be long before we can provide you with a loyal and reliable vampire servant. โ
Henry frowned at first when he heard the news, as a druid instinctively disgusted undead. However, as a soul from the 21st century of the earth, practicality is the only criterion for measuring value. He walked over to the struggling vampire girl and took a closer look, and found that these newborn vampires were a little manic, but they still possessed intelligence.
"I remember last time that vampire rat had no intelligence at all. How do you get the energetic blood to transform the bodies of these girls without destroying the brains? And how can you make sure they never betray? โ
Seeing that Henry was not angry, Shantil finally fell to the ground with a stone in her heart. She got up from the ground, walked to a glass container, pointed to the girl inside, and explained, "Master, I use cold temperature to slow down the flow of blood. In this way, the blood of the ancient vampire can be slowly transformed, so that the brain will not be destroyed by the violent force at once. โ
Henry glanced at the negative energy that was gathering and nodded slightly. Lowering body temperature slows down the flow of blood in the body, most people living on earth in modern times know it. However, as a Feren whose knowledge is only transmitted among a few people, Shantil is indeed a rare talent who can discover this method on her own.
"Master, come and see this." The sorceress picked up a vial of ancient vampire blood, and mixed it with a little unknown green liquid and a drop of her own blood. She walked up to a struggling vampire girl and forced the entire bottle of potion into it.
The next thing happened that left Henry stunned. The vampire girl gradually stopped struggling, and after a few moments, Shantil pulled out the nails that had been nailed to her hands and feet. I saw a naked vampire girl kneeling in front of the sorceress and shouting in a crisp voice, "The Great Ancestor, the newborn vampire Adeline, greets you. โ
"How? You don't know you're a vampire at all! Henry looked at the docile girl on the ground in surprise and asked aloud.
Shantil pinned the girl back to the wall and pulled out her research notes. "Since this ancient vampire died a normal death, there was no soul imprint in his blood that he needed to be the first to possess. What I'm doing now is imprinting my soul into my blood. However, the current stabilizer effect is not very good, and it can only last for a few hours at most. โ
"By the way, I got some Pterodactyl eggs during my adventure. I don't need these dragonmen to be vampires, as long as they can faithfully carry out their orders. With that, Henry poured out a huge cultivation tank from the dimensional bag.
Picking up an egg, Shantil first detected it with her magic, and then her eyes lit up. "Master, this is a whole new species. Where did you get these things, and if you can solve their ability to reproduce themselves, you will have an invincible army. โ
Hearing this, Henry immediately shook his head and warned solemnly: "I don't need, and I won't allow you to solve their self-reproduction ability. This is a taboo for the gods in heaven, and anyone who offends it will be devastated. You just have to master the manufacturing methods and make them obey the commands, but it would be nice if you could modify them. Also, be careful when researching vampires! I don't want to be discovered by the people in the temple. โ
"I see. Rest assured, the entire basement has been magically fortified by me. Not only will no negative energy or smell of blood be heard, but anyone other than you who wants to get close to this place will unconsciously avoid it. Shantil replied, pointing to the magical textures on the walls and doors.
After testing the effect of the magic texture, Henry nodded in satisfaction. "Well done. These research notes about the Pterodactyl people, you can use them as a reference first. Remember, don't stay up late lately. Prepare enough spell slots, and I may be able to transfer you into battle at any time. With that, he dropped the lich's research notes and returned to his study.
