Chapter 207: Sheep, Plans, and Ambitions
New Orleans, Louisiana, was founded at the mouth of the Mississippi River. "Uptown" and "Downtown" are both relative to the flow of the Mississippi River: one upstream, one downstream. Most of the roads up and down the city are parallel to the direction of the river, and the Mississippi River makes a big bend, and the roads also follow the zigzag like a fan, so it is nicknamed "Crescent City".
The climate here is a humid subtropical climate, with heavy rainfall in summer. The vicinity of the city is extremely rich in resources.
In the mid-19th century, New Orleans' excellent seaport and ease of transportation made it one of the most attractive large cities in the South. In this era, it was a veritable city of immigrants. Even the number of immigrants from all countries here is much greater than the number of residents of the country.
It's a peculiar city.
Tang Bai took this place as his next stop after leaving Mystic Waterfall Town, and it was also out of his memory of the city.
The city is home to a large number of werewolves and witches, and even the establishment of the city was made possible by the participation and assistance of the vampire ancestral families.
The vampire ancestors have always considered the city their new home. Their control over the city is unmatched, and even the governor needs to curry favor with them, accommodating and patiently with them in some matters. They are the true aristocrats of the city.
It was only a matter of time before the Ancestral Family came into contact. Tang Bai knew this very well in his heart. The memories of the vampire ancestors who have survived for thousands of years are a rare treasure for any supernatural creature.
What's more, Tang Bai also needs to recruit and win over new subordinates. In memory, this city, which is as special as the mysterious waterfall town, naturally fell into Tang Bai's choice.
The wizarding power system in this world is very mixed. In Tang Bai's memory alone, there are many classifications.
For example, the natural magic represented by the Bennett witch family. They can migrate without affecting their own magic. There are also gypsies. A mysterious and powerful group of wizards known as the Travelers, who are constantly moving from place to residence.
At last. It is the ancestral magic represented by the witches who live in New Orleans. They relied on their departed ancestors to practice magic and gain power. This sets them apart from the two types of witches above. They cannot leave the resting place of their ancestors. Unless they were going to give up their magic and powers.
Unlike the Bennett witches, who have the ability to cast spells from the bloodline, the witches who live in New Orleans can only gain the ability to use that power through the sacrifice of the bloodline. Otherwise, they will gradually lose their strength and become ordinary people.
In other words, it's a powerful one. But it is subject to human magic.
The rest is unknown, the witch power system that has not been revealed in the play, and there may be more.
But if it was needed, Tang Bai didn't mind adding another one to the many witch power systems in this world.
That's the magic that comes from Harry's world.
The magical power of the two worlds can be said to be indistinguishable from each other, and it is impossible to determine who is up and who is down. Judging from the magic of immortality and expression, the magic power of the top witches in this world may seem higher than that of Harry's world.
After all, although there is a lot of magic in Harry's world, most of the real lethal power is lost. Or the mutilated ancient magic and black magic. In general, wizards are better at some auxiliary magic. But that's just what it seems. If it were a head-on match, perhaps the wizards of Harry's world with a lot of magic would have a good chance of winning.
In Tang Bai's opinion, the magic of Harry's world. It also has an excellent and incomparable superiority and promotion that the magic system of this world does not have. The magic system there is much more complete and perfect.
It's just that for now, this world doesn't need wand-cast magic. is undoubtedly more suitable for Tang Bai.
Each witch in this world creates spells that are unique, so they need a magic book to write them down. And what Tang Bai wants to do. It's about collecting as many of these magic books as you can. Especially some magic books that almost involve rules.
Witches are not shy about sharing the spells they have created with their friends. Even if it's an ancestral spell. In many cases, they don't take it personally. Even the witches in the neighborhood will hold a wizard meeting from time to time to communicate.
What Tang Bai had to do was to expand this kind of communication, which was only a small area, to accommodate more than half of the wizards in this world, and let them participate. If there was an opportunity and necessity, Tang Bai would not mind setting up a huge wizarding organization in this world similar to Harry's Ministry of Magic in the world.
Of course, Tang Bai also knows very well that it is not easy to do this.
If his plans were revealed to others at this moment, they might just see him as a madman. However, Tang Bai believed that with sufficient manpower and the support of another magical world, this plan was not unrealizable.
Even if there are doubts and distrust.
People who have had a huge impact on the world have never been good boys who follow the rules, they always question everything, deny everything, and then reinvent everything according to their own wishes. Those who succeed will remain in history, and those who fail will never recover.
Being a lamb has no future.
Tang Bai wants to achieve his purpose in this world, and he can't do it without some ambition.
New Orleans is the first piece of the puzzle in the plan.
A horse-drawn carriage drove into a manor near a forest with plenty of open space.
The weather wasn't good.
The sky was slightly overcast, and there was no sunlight in sight. The air has a moist and moist feel, and the whole feels like a precursor to heavy rain.
Tang Bai and Pearl stepped out of the carriage, while Billy and other male vampires followed behind them with large and small packages.
"You let Phil buy a house here, do you want to stay here for a long time?" Looking at a butler's outfit not far away, striding on the grass to usher in Phil, Pearl whispered in Tang Bai's ear and asked.
"That's the plan." Tang Bai looked around and nodded.
"You know this place well?" Pearl gently lifted the wide hem of her skirt with both hands, carefully avoiding the slightly wet grass at her feet, and continued to ask.
Tang Bai's arms lightly lifted his collar, shook his head, and bluntly vetoed: "No, except for some information, I don't know anything about here." It's also my first time here. ”
"Then why did you choose this place? Is this the territory you have in mind to build the Wizarding City? Pearl still remembers what Tang Bai had said when she first met Tang Bai.
Tang Bai said that he wanted to build a wizard city.
They had experienced many cities along the way, but Tang Bai never stopped.
"This is the city of starts." Tang Bai did not directly use yes or no or other sentences, but his answer was a little ambiguous.
But Pearl quickly grasped the meaning that Tang Bai wanted to express.
The city of the start, not the city of wizards.
This means that this is not the end.
"How long are you going to stay here?" There was a look of hesitation in Pearl's eyes, but she still asked.
"It depends on how well my plan is implemented and whether the city welcomes my arrival." Tang Bai said the truth without concealment.
Billy and other male vampires all carried suitcases and stood quietly behind Tang Bai. Although it is daytime, not to mention the gloomy and gray weather at the moment, the cold and humid weather, even the sky is full of sunshine, and in the case of a daywalker ring in people's hands, the blazing sun cannot harm them.
The rings were made by Emily, Catherine's maid. It is also the means that Catherine uses to control these vampires.
Phil also has an extra Daywalker ring on his hand, which Tang Bai made for him himself. It's just blocking the ultraviolet rays in the sunlight that can cause serious damage to vampires, and for Tang Bai, whose alchemy is getting better and is in an explosive leap period, even if he doesn't know what kind of production method the Daywalker's Ring in this world is, it is difficult for him.
Anyway, whether it is the Daywalker ring made by Tang Bai or the Daywalker ring made by Emily, the final effect is the same. can expose a vampire to the sun. The only difference is that one is forged from pure alchemy, while the other is made from magic.
If there was any difference between the two, it was that the Daywalker's Ring, which Tang Bai had refined with alchemy, could be used on any vampire who was afraid of the sun. Emily's magic-made Daywalker Ring, on the other hand, can only be worn by its owner. It's useless for other vampires to snatch it.
A Daywalker Ring is very important and desirable for any vampire.
Because not every vampire can be exposed to the sun and enjoy the sun's bathing like humans. Not every vampire can get on a good relationship with a witch and ask them to help make a Daywalker ring.
Most witches have a natural aversion to nocturnal creatures, and even if a witch is forced to transform into a vampire, the witch's close friends before she becomes a witch may not be an enemy of her, but most of them will also break off their relationship.
This is how the vast majority of witches and vampires are portrayed.
This is evident from the fact that many vampires who have survived for hundreds of years have not been able to obtain a Daywalker Ring.
Witch clusters, and are inherently unaffected by hypnosis and the like. It's not easy to get their help. In addition to the protagonists in the play, Tang Bai is only impressed by the help of a certain wizard, only a few vampire ancestors, as well as a few people such as Catherine Pierce and Marcel, who were hunted down by the ancestor Klaus.
"Is there anything you want to say?" Tang Bai glanced at the flickering hesitation in Pearl's eyes, turned sideways, and asked out loud in front of Pearl. (To be continued......)
