Alien world

Chapter 983 214. Vampire Vaccine

Annan learned from Little Smo the reason for their depression: not only had they betrayed his trust, but many residents were also seriously ill due to the dual pressures of the plague and fleeing.

Annan told them that the former was not important, and the latter was also very simple, just let the Punishment Corps serve as priests part-time.

"Remember, you are the heroes of Liberty City. When the war is over, everyone will remember your names."

Annan stirred up their emotions with just a few words.

"I will be proud of being a Liberty City citizen!" Little Smalls said in a hoarse voice.

"No." Annan smiled and shook his head, "Liberty City is proud of you."

The patient was still waiting, so Annan opened the portal first and brought the Punishment Legion in Xinger City over.

They went into the cave where the patients were placed, and soon came out with bad news: they were not simply sick, but cursed, and only the priest could remove the curse...

Annan, who had cast several protective spells, walked into the cave. The cave was crowded with people and filled with coughing and the stench of decay. The numb and desperate looks in their eyes told Annan that they were waiting for death.

"Is there no other way?" Annan asked Black Widow.

Black Widow looked away from Maria, "You can find an epic or legendary, but they will die of illness before they can cure the remaining ones."

Annan first asked Skeleton King for help to open the portal.

Skeleton King stays in his tomb doing experiments, wearing a pair of glasses on his nose.

Annan was slightly stunned: "Are you nearsighted?"

"No... a friend just told me that it would make me look less sharp." The Skeleton King's hand pushed up his glasses.

"Indeed, you look very wise with glasses on." Annan praised and told it the situation here.

The Skeleton King was not angry because Annan asked him to save a group of civilians. He waved his hand gently, and cold and fresh air poured into the cave, while the turbid and poisonous air turned into a ball of ominous germs surging on its bony palm.

"Hmm... the smell of curse and evil energy, a very sophisticated spell..."

"Can't you even do anything?"

The soul fire in the Skeleton King's eyes jumped: "I am good at cursing, but not good at removing curses... I have to kill them first before I can heal them. Do you need me to resurrect them as undead?"

"Do not……"

However, the Skeleton King's words reminded Annan, and he asked Little Smokey to bring the vampire in.

Vampires, who claim to be noble undead creatures, are generally regarded as "evil magical creatures" by the mainstream on the continent of Allen - just like elementals and demons, they carry the prejudices unique to the major races.

Magical creatures cannot be immune to curses, but I have never heard of any water elementals or demons catching a cold or fever - so they are naturally immune to the plague spread by the ratmen.

What Annan was thinking was, could he let vampires give the patients the First Embrace and transform them into vampires as well?
In this way, the vampires got blood servants, Annan got vampire residents, and the patients got treatment. It was a win-win situation for all three parties!
The vampires resisted the urge to poke a hundred holes in Annan's body with their fangs. They first saluted the Skeleton King who was watching quietly behind the portal, and then righteously rejected Annan's proposal.

They said that the First Embrace is extremely important to vampires, just like humans finding a mate, and it cannot be treated so lightly.

"How about I compensate you?" Annan didn't want to give up just like that.

"That's not OK!"

"Please don't say things like that again."

"We are the blood clan, not blood beasts..."

"What's the benefit?"

The vampires talked at once, and then looked at the dissenting vampire at the same time.

"I...I'm just asking." The vampire chuckled.

"Okay, but thank you for your help all the time."

They couldn't help, so Annan could only try his luck with Wood.

"Are you able to have the first embrace? Do you have a partner?" Wood, who was chatting with guests in the tavern one second ago and was summoned the next second, was stunned for a moment and felt nostalgic - this was how he was summoned by Annan three years ago.

"What did you say?"

"I said, you can embrace for the first time, do you have a companion?"

"Of course, but I haven't found the right target yet."

"Then you are really lucky!" Annan put his arm around Wood's shoulders and pointed at the people in the cave: "Look at these diligent and hardworking people. I will leave them to you!"

"What?"

It took Wood a while to understand that Annan wanted him to embrace everyone in the cave, not just a few people...

Are there hundreds or thousands of people here? Even if he were asked to capture them, it would take three days and three nights...

"Including the old people?"

Annan whispered helplessly: "We can't just let the old man die, can we?"

"I can't do it..." Wood's head shook faster than the wine, "Open the portal and send me back."

Annan bewitched, "Don't you want to be a vampire executive?"

"What vampire executive?" Wood suddenly found that he could not walk anymore.
"It means commanding a group of blood servants who obey your orders... Wherever your fangs point, their swords will follow."

Wood was somewhat tempted, but still shook his head: "I am just a vampire who is not even a lord. I can only embrace one... two... three at most! It would be better to kill me than to let me embrace hundreds of people -"

It seems that relying on Wood to save people is a bit far-fetched...

"I can come and help."

The Skeleton King, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"You have a solution." Annan said in surprise.

"It's a good idea to turn patients into vampires, but even the prince can't give the First Embrace to hundreds of people. If we just make the patients immune to the plague, maybe we can try to disperse the power of the First Embrace..."

"Is it equivalent to using Wood's blood as a vaccine?" Annan immediately thought of a word.

"A vaccine to cure the disease? If that's what you mean, yes."

"Let's get started! But are there any side effects?"

"A lot. The 'vaccine' is equivalent to a weakened First Embrace. The characteristics of fear of sunlight and love of blood may all be reflected..."

"It doesn't matter. There's less sunlight in the North in winter, and there's a specialty in Liberty City called blood curd."

"Your vampire friends are going to have to suffer a little too."

"I do not……"

"It's okay, he can eat it!"

Annan covered Wood's mouth in the envy of the Black Widow.

The Skeleton King continued, "And most importantly, I'm not sure if weak vampire blood can be exempted. All our efforts may be in vain."

Annan let go of Wood and glanced at the residents in the cave who had never raised their heads from beginning to end, tortured by pain and unaware of the outside world: "At least we tried..."

The Skeleton King did what he said, releasing the wizard's hand and collecting the scattered tools into the magic ring: "Prepare an alchemy room for me."

"Is an empty cave okay?"

"Ah."
