Seeing the incomparably cheating attribute on the weapon, a smile appeared on Henry's face. Now that Yu has the key to the vampire's lair, all he has to do is head back to Baldur's Gate to find the priest of Gund, the god of craft and forge, for more detailed information. He performed the last "teleportation technique" of the day and came to the gate of the magnificent Xuanqi Palace.

After paying for the tour, Henry went straight to the innermost part to ask the priest about the secrets of the greatsword. The priest of Gunder took the phrase that knowledge is money to the extreme, and the mild-mannered-looking man demanded ten thousand gold coins as soon as he opened his mouth, refusing to bargain for anything.

Henry knew that he had been slaughtered as a fat sheep, but this feud should be written down first, and he would be slaughtered back later when he had the opportunity to do so. After paying 10,000 gold coins happily, the priest of Gonde told the legend of the cellar with a smile on his face. It is said that those who wield this sword can open the treasures of ancient vampires, and the location of the treasure is very secretive, and the entrance is said to be surrounded by torrents.

Receiving an important hint, Henry immediately returned to the Earl's Court and began divination with prophetic spells. After more than two hours of exploration, he finally got the specific location. The entrance to the treasure is located in the middle of a river north of the Gnoll Fortress, and only those who wield vampire vengeance can enter it through the Immortal Servant.

Marking the location on the map, Henry instructed Shantil, who was standing cautiously, "Go and get ready, and come with me tomorrow to explore this place." I'm also going to inform Robert that I need a thief who is proficient in detecting and dismantling traps. ”

"Master, Robert is not in town right now. A few days ago, a dark elf was accidentally captured while assassinating a nobleman, in order to prevent the plan from leaking. He took the Terminator with him to deal with the matter himself. The sorceress replied with a slight bow.

Henry frowned when he heard the news. Although not afraid that the dark elves will say something. However, the plan did not go well, which still made him a little unhappy. Now everyone's attention is focused on the city. The defense capacity of villages and towns is at its weakest. Who is it that has the ability to capture alive the Dark Elf Assassin at night, who is proficient in stealth and assassination?

"Do you know the circumstances of the capture of that dark elf? I don't believe a country nobleman is capable of that. ”

When Shantil heard this, she suddenly clutched her stomach and laughed. "Haha Sorry master. I couldn't help myself. The nobleman had a peculiar habit. He would have his servants mop the floor with lard every day, which would make the marble floor look brighter. The hapless Dark Elf assassin slipped and crashed into the armor rack as he climbed through the window and fainted. ”

Henry patted his forehead and sighed. I have to say that this guy is indeed unlucky, but since it was an accident, then Robert will definitely be able to handle this matter. It seems that there will be no thieves with him tomorrow. He had to prepare a few more second-level magic "detection traps" just in case.

It soon got dark, and Henry went back to his room after a brief dinner. At midnight, an assassination was quietly completed inside the Flame Fist. Duke Iltan was mortally wounded by a sharp dagger, and Skar was even more decapitated. Shaloferk instructed the officers and shapeshifters who had taken refuge in him, "I'm going to leave for Candlekeep, and you can gather all the mercenaries as soon as possible." Remember, our ultimate goal is to wage war, and the combat effectiveness of the army is crucial. ”

"Rest assured, those ordinary Flame Fist soldiers will listen to whoever pays them. All it takes is a little more gold to pay, and they'll be obedient. ”

"Very well, I now appoint you as the commander of the Flame Fist. The appointment of the council will be handed down tomorrow. Remember, take care of the wounded duke. Don't let him run. Shalophok patted the officer on the shoulder and turned to leave the Flame Fist headquarters. He needs to talk to Lena. Jennath said hello, and then she could start killing her adoptive father and the top of the Iron Throne.

Early the next morning, Henry got up early for breakfast, and then took Shantil to the mountains north of the Gnoll Fortress using the group "teleportation technique". As soon as the two men walked on the front foot, a messenger arrived on the back foot. He sent a notice from the council that a new commander had been appointed due to the serious illness of the Duke of Iltan and the fact that Scar was nowhere to be found.

Henry didn't know about the great changes that had taken place in the city of Dao now, but even if he did, he wouldn't be too surprised. Heading north along the river, ogres and goblins were cleared by Shantil's magic. After several hours of exploring, the two of them finally felt the fluctuations of magic in a very fast section of the river.

Taking out the "Vampire's Revenge", Henry blessed himself with a few protective spells before slowly leaning over. Suddenly, a red light flashed from the sword, and a small piece of land rose in the center of the river. A man dressed in a gray linen robe said in a deep voice, "Welcome, great Nosferatu. East. Khazar hosts. ”

Shantil's nerves were highly tense. She felt that the man in gray in front of her was extremely dangerous, and it was very likely that his life would be endangered. Henry walked over and took a look, and found that it was actually a magical golem made of vampires. His face was pale, his two fangs protruding slightly, but his blood-red eyes were hollow and looked like he had been dead for a long time.

"Relax, it's just a puppet without a mind." Henry touched the sorceress's long fiery red hair and comforted.

Shantil breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her nerves slightly. She carefully examined the production method of the puppet, turned to Henry and said, "Master, a puppet is so powerful, his master must be even more powerful." If this ancient vampire is still alive, we are no match at all. ”

"The legend of the cellar has been passed down for thousands of years, and even if this vampire is still alive, he is nothing more than a dried corpse. It would take at least hundreds of people to drain the blood of at least a hundred people to regain his strength, and I wouldn't give him that much time. With that, Henry ordered the puppet to teleport him underground with the sorceress.

As soon as they entered the cellar, the two of them smelled a smell of decay and blood. Countless bones were embedded in the walls, forming terrifying and eerie pictures. The arrival of strangers alarmed the guards here, and soon some stone golems and dreaddemons swarmed in, and there were even a few withered vampires behind them, who looked like they hadn't drunk blood for a long time.

Henry quickly blessed himself and Shantil with the fourth-level divine skills "Protection against Negative Boundary Damage" and "Anti-Death Enchantment". Dealing with the undead, especially vampires, is a must, as they not only suck the blood of their victims, but also erode the body and cause organ dysfunction. In more numerical terms, it is a temporary loss of class level, which can only be restored by the fourth-level magic "secondary restoration".

Looking at the surging enemies, the sorceress sneered and threw out the tenth-level magic "Comet Technique" without hesitation. I saw that the top of the cave was suddenly torn, and a huge meteorite that was burning fell through the crack. There was a loud "boom", and the whole cellar was shaking incessantly, as if it was about to collapse.

The powerful shockwave blew the two people more than a dozen meters away, and the enemy at the center of the impact was completely smashed, and the huge crater was littered with the arms of the golem and the fragments of the armor of the Dreaded War Demon. Chanting a spell, it didn't take long for Shantil to summon three swords of Demon Duncan to slay the remaining foes.

Having killed all the guards, the two men explored the interior along the tunnel. Henry finally learned the power of a high-level warlock. Although Shantil's spells are not many, they can still make up for this lack of spell slots that are several times more than that of mages of the same level. She carried through the bombing policy along the way, and all vampires and puppet creatures were blown to pieces. There were several ancient vampires who were even more unlucky, and were directly caught in gems by the eighth-level magic "soul cage" and used as materials for making magic items in the future.

Opening a coffin, Henry grabbed a handful of gems and said to the sorceress, "This ancient vampire is really rich. Look at these rough stones, they are all the best quality. And those ancient vampires just now are also very difficult, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't drink blood for a long time and their strength was extremely weak, I'm afraid it would take a lot of effort to kill. ”

Shantil smiled and nodded, playing with the soul in the gem. "These souls are very powerful, and they are very good alchemy materials. I'm now looking forward more and more to meeting its owner, believing that an ancient vampire soul can craft a powerful magical item. ”

Following the passage, the two of them quickly came to the deepest part of the cave. The vampire who had been crafted into a magic puppet stood next to a sarcophagus carved with intricate patterns, and even without opening the lid, Henry could still feel the strong negative energy gathered inside. After re-blessing the spell and the god, he cautiously walked over and lifted the lid on it.

Suddenly, the negative energy turned into a shockwave, shattering the sarcophagus and bursting out, even with the blessing of "Protection against Negative Boundary Damage", the two living people still felt a piercing coldness. Henry quickly got up from the ground and prepared for battle, if it was true that the ancient vampire had awakened, then he would face a battle of life and death.

The black negative energy gradually dissipated, and a pale man was seen lying motionless on the ground. He looked so young, and his body wasn't as dry as Henry had imagined. The two glanced at each other and slowly leaned over in unison, and soon they realized that it was nothing more than a corpse, and the soul in the body had long since disappeared.

Shantil examines the condition of the corpse and discovers that the vampire has actually died at the end of his life. Vampires are known to have a very long lifespan, to the point where ordinary humans think they are immortal. In fact, these creatures will also die normally, but most of them will not live long before they are killed by the priests of the temple, the paladins, or the adventurers. (To be continued......)
