The night at Baldur's Gate was silent, and nothing was to be seen except for the occasional daring sand-man scout. Suddenly, a swarm of gray bats appeared in the midnight sky, and they flew silently behind the fishmen. The moment she landed on the ground, her body began to deform rapidly, and after just a few seconds, she turned into a pale vampire girl.

A cold wind blew, and several screams came from the ruins of the city, and the sandy fishman was sucked alive by a large group of vampires before he even had a chance to fight back. They licked the blood from the corners of their mouths, then turned into bats and returned to the sky, looking for their next target.

The newborn vampires have been hovering over the city every night, following Henry's orders, constantly searching for those who dare to come ashore. In the space of more than a month, hundreds of sandy fishmen have died at their hands. The massive killing and blood sucking allowed these undead to grow rapidly, and it would take a while for someone to get a chance to advance.

――――――――――――――――――――――

The next morning, Henry and Shantil bought a carriage, hid Spellcaster II in the carriage, and left Ascatra through the gates in the open. Following the trade route to the east, they passed Lake Esmeer to the plains of central Am.

Here, Henry meets a caravan that wants to cross the Snowflake Mountains to Turmis to buy food. As a result of the closure of maritime trade, food prices have risen sharply throughout the Amm region. Merchants began to hoard grain, and even though they knew that there was plenty of food in the green fields, panic was inevitable.

Herman, the owner of the caravan, was an experienced trader in his forties and about. If there is a shortage in the Amm area, go to the nearby countries to buy something. Although it doesn't make a lot of money by doing so. But fortunately, the profit is very stable. He had a slightly bulging belly. Along the way, he enthusiastically introduced the customs of the surrounding countries to Henry.

"In addition to being rich in food, Turmis is most famous for its gorgeous handmade armor. This armor is adorned with embossed, spired, and undulating curves, with a mix of human and elven styles. Am's high-class aristocrats were very fond of this luxurious and sturdy armor, each of which could earn several times the profit. In addition, the snails are also famous, not only delicious but also very tender, almost like a girl's tongue. ”

After listening to Herman's gushing narration. Henry nodded with a smile. "Very interesting place. After listening to your description, I want to see this country for myself. ”

"Haha, if you go sightseeing, you must not miss the capital Aragon. The entire city is built of stone, and has been renovated several times to form thousands of secret rooms and tunnels. All who have been there will go inside and walk around, and it is said that one can find a sense of adventure in the dungeon. Herman said with a wistful look on his face.

Just as Henry was about to say something, the caravan walking in front of him suddenly stopped. I saw that there had been a team of more than thirty monsters composed of orcs, ogres, gnolls, and goblins blocking the way. They let out a howl as they swung their weapons. Gradually surround the caravan.

One of the orcs stepped forward and shouted, "Listen to me, all of you! Obediently call out all the daily necessities and women, so that I can let you live. If anyone dares to resist, everyone will be buried with them. ”

"It's really unfortunate to have run into these greedy robbers." Herman, the caravan master, sighed. He stepped forward and asked loudly: "You have not always only collected tolls, why are you not even letting go of goods and women now?" ”

The orc spread his hands a little helplessly and replied, "Hey." No way, it's an order from above. It is said that because Master Faircragg has found his long-lost daughter, he needs some household items and a few maids. ”

Henry heard the name of the red dragon appear here, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. I really didn't expect that this guy is quite economically minded. Instead of robbing merchants, a one-time toll was levied. But what's going on with this biological daughter? He didn't seem to remember that there were other dragons around Faircragg.

"Master, do you want me to kill them?" Shantil asked in a whisper. As a woman who likes to be clean, she is full of disgust for these dirty and smelly monsters.

Glancing at the robbers who were rummaging around the van, Henry thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly. "Let's kill them all, it's not far from the Wind Spear Hill anyway. Remember to leave a living mouth, and I want to ask what happened to this biological daughter. ”

After receiving permission to kill, Shantil licked her seductive red lips and quickly blessed herself with protective magic, before chanting a spell in a low voice.

Herman is negotiating with the orc warriors, trying to convince them to only accept gold. Just as he took out a ring and was about to secretly use some special means, suddenly a fireball crossed the sky and landed on the place where the monsters gathered with a loud bang. The flames and waves of air from the explosion blew the monster into a bloody air, sending a lot of arms, thighs, intestines, and other things flying around.

The killing excites the sorceresses of the evil camp. She directly activated the "Spell Sequence", followed by the "Fireball Technique" X3. Before the thirty or so monsters could react, they all went to the Grim Reaper to report.

Herman looked at the red-haired lady with straight eyes, and her throat squirmed twice unconsciously. Although he already knew that the men and women who were traveling with him were definitely not ordinary people, it was too cruel. Look at these poor monsters, not even a single intact corpse can be found. People just levy a little toll and eat with a mouthful, so if you have something to say, you can talk about it.......

Looking at the blood, severed limbs, and internal organs on the ground, Shantil's eyes narrowed in enjoyment. After a moment, she snapped her finger at the only surviving orc warrior. "Crawl here! It's best not to let me do it, or it might not end you well. You must know that the owner just said to keep a living, that is...... He doesn't need these arms and thighs to get in the way......"

The orc trembled and dropped his weapon, and crawled to his knees like a dog. Funny, Shantil picked up a piece of hemp rope that held the goods in place and tied it around his neck. In the end, the guy, who didn't know whether he was unlucky or lucky, was led to Henry.

"Master, I've brought you what you need." As she spoke, the sorceress tied the orc warrior to the carriage like a bolt animal.

Seeing the fearful and awe-inspiring look in the eyes of the people around him, Henry sighed to himself. Shantil's chaotic and evil nature had come at a bad time, and it seemed that the caravan could not stay any longer. Thinking of this, he owed a slight debt to Herman, the caravan master who was still in a daze.

"I'm very sorry, but my girlfriend hasn't been in a good mood lately, so I was a little violent with you. Thank you for taking care of you along the way. But we're going to turn around and head north for the Hill of the Wind Spear, so we'll split up here. ”

"Oh, okay. I am also very grateful to you and this lady for killing these robbers. But you'd better be careful, as Faircrag is a mighty red dragon. With that, Herman hurriedly beckoned the men to flee from here as quickly as possible. He didn't want to offend the ruler of this mountain range, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do business in the future.

Shantil glanced at the fast-moving caravan with a look of disdain on her face. "Humph! What a bunch of cowards. ”

"After all, they are businessmen, and it is human nature that they don't want to cause trouble. Also, try not to show a look of enjoying the killing the next time you're outside, otherwise you'll be in trouble if you run into a paladin or something like that. Henry Yan Zhan Zhòng issued a warning. After all, there is a Knights of the Warmest Heart in the Amm region, and once they are designated as evildoers, they are waiting to be hunted down.

After teaching his men a lesson, he tugged the rope and pulled the orc down closer. "Tell me, what's going on with that old dragon's daughter? I'm not very patient, so it's best not to test it. ”

The orc warrior couldn't help but shudder, and then spoke: "Lord Faircrag sent someone to bring back a half-dragon from the Spine of the World some time ago, and it is said that he was the daughter born from a previous union with a human woman. Her transformed strength is terrifying, and we lost several warriors to capture her alive. ”

"Oh? It turned out to be Hina the Dragon Maiden. Henry muttered quietly. He suddenly recalled this episode, and a smile appeared on his face inadvertently. You must know that the half-dragon not only has a strong talent for spellcasting, but also has a very good melee ability. It would be great if he could win it over to his own hands.

When Shantil heard the half-dragon man, a greedy expression appeared on her face. She had long wanted to study the body structure of the half-dragon to see how it differed from those Tieflin (half-blood demons) and Teflin (half-blood demons). Unfortunately, there are too few of them, and most of them are under the protection of their parents.

Henry didn't notice the sorceress's thoughts, and directly tied the orc with a rope and threw it directly on the side of the road. If this guy is lucky, he may be found and rescued by his own kind. If you're unlucky, just wait to turn into carnivore feces.

The two men drove the carriage all the way north, and after several days of traveling, they finally passed through a large forest. The bare stones in front of him and the sound of gusts of mountain wind blowing all indicate that the Wind Spear Hill is close at hand. After walking some more distance, they found that the road was getting steeper and steeper, and it was impossible for the carriage to go up at all.

In desperation, Henry had no choice but to abandon the carriage and release the horses. The two of them took Spellcaster No. 2 and walked slowly along the mountain road.
