Blood Dragon

Ashuruffat looked up to the door, Mimilu didn't know when he would appear at the door.At this moment, Mimilu was squatting there, looking at the scene in the room with curious eyes.

"Mimilu, it really is you." Ashuruffat sighed. "Did you bring her here?"

Only Mimilu can bring a blind man here.

"Well," Mimilu tilted her head, looking sideways at Ashrufat and Leia who was sleeping.

"Master, don't you want to mate with her?"

"Mating!!!?" Ashuruffat couldn't breathe, and choked. "Cough! Cough!" He recovered after a few seconds.Fortunately, Leia was a sound sleeper, and the sound of this level did not wake her up.

"Mimilu, that's not called mating!" Obviously, although Mimilu can already speak the common language proficiently, and can read and write initially, but in fact her common sense is still lacking.

"Then... go to bed?" For some reason, Mimilu didn't seem to shy away from this topic.But having said that, it is also understandable for a primitive and simple race like the half-beast race.Mimilu has lived in the human world for a long time, but that doesn't mean she understands everything. "I don't quite get it. But she said she wants to have... sex with you... no, sex."

"Don't worry about it, Mimilu!" Ashuruffat yelled angrily. "Why did you bring her into my room?"

"Because she said she likes you." Mimilu had an innocent expression.

"That's not liking."

"Huh?! But Mimilu can feel...she really likes Master." Mimilu opened her eyes seriously. "Mimilu can feel it, it's true!"

"Your feelings may not be true! Also, it's late, you should go to bed!"

……

"Are you here?" Damon stood leaning on his horse.It was the afternoon, the sky was sunny, and the dark castle in the distance was in sight, like a sword of darkness inserted into the light.In front of Damon was a mysterious man wearing a black cloak with a hood covering half of his face.The man's hands were hanging down, and there was a kind of lifeless whiteness on the palms, just like a corpse. "I thought you wouldn't come."

The mysterious man slowly took off his hood, revealing a young but lifeless face.Not only that, beside him, there was a faint, black mist-like energy looming.A little bit of thinking ability will immediately realize that this person is not an ordinary person, but a practitioner of black magic, a necromancer.

"I heard that you had some...negotiations with the Scarlet Duke." The necromancer said.His voice was hoarse and lacked the vitality of a normal person, as if it was coming from a machine.

"Of course the conversation fell apart," Damon replied. "I was ordered to leave. But I was given some time to find you."

That's what he said, but his face didn't show any frustration and regret caused by diplomatic failure.

"Didn't you... come here with sincerity from the very beginning?" the Necromancer asked.

"I hate to admit it, but it's true," Damon replied. "Leave that aside, we haven't seen each other for almost ten years since you left your hometown to learn the Dark Arts. It seems you're doing well."

"Actually... not good." The Necromancer replied. "The road to learning the black arts...is full of hardships. I have paid a lot...until now, I...found a shortcut."

"Oh, what's the shortcut?" Damon asked curiously.

"Serving the Scarlet Duke..." the Necromancer replied. "He is a generous master... who can give me... what I long for... first-hand information. I have worked hard for more than ten years... countless dangerous battles... the knowledge I have gained is not comparable to... The Scarlet Duke gave me...so much in one month. Now I finally...understand...why...the black mages of the past...all go to Calian."

As if to prove his words, the necromancer took out a book from his arms and gestured to the other party.The pages of the book were leather, and in legend, vampires would use the blood of virgins to write the darkest knowledge on human skin.But no matter how stupid Damon was, he wouldn't ask whether the book was made of human skin.

But he thought of the girls who were given to the vampire by his own hands.The imagining made him feel uneasy.

"You're looking for me...not...for reminiscing about the past? In the end...what's the matter..."

"Although you are now under the Duke of Scarlet, this matter is related to the future of our family. Can you answer a few questions for me?"

The other party was silent for a long time, and finally replied. "ask……."

"The undead army of vampires... what is their combat power? I heard that when they were in Calian, the Blood Knights were the real elite troops, and the Scarlet Duke was alone."

"Not as strong... as you... imagined..., nor as... weak... as you... imagined..."

"What about the quantity?" Damon asked.If the question just now was still a little concealed, this question is really too explicit.

"You...couldn't you...really... plan to make... the Scarlet Duke... an enemy?" This time, the Necromancer also sensed that this was a little bit wrong.

"It's not up to me to decide. I can only collect all the information and submit it to the elders meeting." Damon replied. "As for whether there will be a war, it depends on everyone's discussions at the meeting."

"Stupid...a large group of people...discuss and will definitely make...the stupidest...decision."

"Maybe, but haven't we all been here?" Damon replied. "Tell me, do you regret your original choice?" He looked at the Necromancer in front of him.Judging from the appearance, the other party looks less than 20 years old, but the obvious, lifeless state of lifelessness... Is all this really worth pursuing?But Damon immediately put this silly idea aside.There are more realistic things for him to do.If you can, it's best to convince this old friend to abandon the dark and turn to the bright.If he can get a reliable person inside the enemy, he may be able to make up for the mistakes of this mission.

God knows where the news of the vampire came from, it actually detained the fortune-teller who was supposed to undertake a major task.Under the eaves of others, he had to bow his head, and Damon could only swallow his anger and dare not object.Of course, the responsibility for this matter must be borne by him.

"No." The Necromancer shook his head. "By relying on... black magic... I don't have any... pain in my body anymore. It turns out that... the sickness... that tortured me every day... with the progress of my black magic... healed up. If I had Being able to...choose again...I would make the same...choice."

"You are serving vampires now, what do you usually do?"

"It's not... as mysterious as you imagined." This time, the necromancer smiled, a stiff smile. "Most of the time...re-pinning the broken skeletons...so that they...can be used again. And...doping...the bodies of...zombies with metal, wood...etc, Make them . . . more durable."

"Oh?" Damon has heard of this. During the Battle of Kalean, he found that many zombies are actually strange creations composed of flesh and other materials. Their bodies are mixed with wood, metal, bones of other creatures, and coffins. The purpose of the nails on them is to increase the strength of their bodies.

However, according to the information provided by the Ryan people, the Scarlet Duke's army is more than simple zombie skeletons.At least according to the known information, vampires have a variety of undead legions that are far more deadly than zombies.

But Damon, at least outwardly, pretended he didn't know about it.He immediately picked up a topic from the past, recalling the time when the two of them still saw each other often.Only at the brief moment of silence when the emotion of the past ended, a trace of sadness suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Ten years is indeed a long time, enough to change a person, enough to obliterate the edges and corners of a young person, enough to completely reverse a person's position.

"Well, I should go." Finally, Damon bid farewell. "Glad you remember me."

"I will... always remember you." The necromancer still had a stiff smile on his face.

So the two broke up.Damon jumped on his horse, and the necromancer turned away.Where the two of them were just now, there was no warmth left, even if there was, it disappeared with a gust of cold wind.

"My lord, are we going back like this?" When Damon returned to the side of the convoy, a person asked. "Leia is like this..."

"Then what else do you want? We sent her to the vampire's castle!" Damon said viciously.Reality proved how stupid the idea of ​​sending Leia to check out the vampires in the first place was. "The vampire left her unceremoniously. If you refuse to accept it, you can go to the vampire to protest."

The man immediately fell silent.Vampires are not good men and women. Isn't protesting courting death?

"Let's go back!" Damon announced loudly.Although what happened to Leia is really stupid, but there are still some gains in other aspects, especially in terrain, environment and other aspects.Originally, I heard that Sylvania was a barren land, where plagues were rampant and various monsters appeared. It was the kind of place that lacked value, and it was the first choice for exiled criminals from all over the world.But it actually doesn't look that bad.

Although there are occasional plague outbreaks, it is not an incurable disease.If there are enough medical staff, it should be able to be extinguished quickly.Monsters do haunt, but they aren't extremely difficult types.As long as the defense can be strengthened, it won't be a big problem... On the contrary, in terms of the richness of the land, Sylvania is far above the mountainous area where the Ben tribe lives now.

And this kind of terrain condition... That guy named Belleur doesn't seem like a big talk to scare people.Thinking of Belle, he recalled the brief meeting with Belle before he set off.At that time, he was a little dismissive of Baylor's "must-win strategy".Where in this world does the winning method come from?Isn't it to encourage the Bin tribe to deal with vampires?

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, risks and opportunities exist at the same time... It is time to make a decision.

He suddenly remembered vampires.Strange to say, when talking face-to-face with the Scarlet Duke, I didn't have any special impression. During the whole meeting, the Scarlet Duke was similar to ordinary human nobles.But now I'm a little scared.Whenever he recalled the vampire's appearance, he felt chills in his heart.
