In ancient times, the city of Gred was a city with a large trade and population, and it was even the capital of the ancient empire of Vene. Due to the fall of the ancient empire, the rise of erudition, and the earthquake more than 100 years ago, the city can no longer return to its former prosperity. The limelight was replaced by the emerging holy city of Roma in the north. At one point, Emperor Tambolance even wanted to move his capital to Rûm in order to personally fight the pagan Dessertes on the front line. It's just that this group of heretics is too fierce, and before the emperor himself can make up his mind, they have already smashed the Yellow Dragon and taken this holy city in one fell swoop.

The idea of the Son of Heaven guarding the border did not materialize, much to the chagrin of the emperor himself. When he heard the news of the fall of the Holy City, he sent a letter to the kings and dukes, asking them to put aside their old suspicions, unite with the outside world, and unite against the Dessetts, the greatest enemies of the moment.

The first to respond to the emperor was the island nation of Hope in the far northwest, when the ancient empire of Venn unified the Bodi continent, leaving only this island unconquered. The ancestors of the Hope Kingdom united, relying on the geographical advantage and the people, they managed to defeat the invasions of the ancient empire again and again, and finally reached a peace agreement. Hope is also the only country with a history that has not been conquered by the ancient Empire of Venn and belongs to the Bodi continent - although it is separated from the Bodi continent by a strait, archaeologists agree that the island was connected to the mainland a long, long time ago.

Originally, Desset's invasion from the northern wilderness had almost nothing to do with the country of Hope. However, the current king of Hope is a devout Bojiao, and the city of Roma, which was captured by the pagans, is the origin of Bojiao, so King Hope is very enthusiastic and was the first to respond to the emperor's call. Moreover, he also took the initiative to repair the book and contacted the Pope himself, who was far south of the Tambolance Empire.

The Pope was originally in Cisa, the capital of the current Empire, but the previous emperor had a conflict with the Pope, causing the Pope to flee to the southern border of the Empire, where he re-erected the Holy Throne.

The previous emperor was assassinated by a mysterious killer, and it is widely speculated that it must have been a fanatical polymath. As for whether he was instructed by others or did it on his own, because there is no conclusive evidence, it has also become an unsolved case.

The current Emperor Tamborance was elected by unanimous vote of the six Electors of the Empire. The six electors tacitly chose the weaker Duke of Deliot in the empire.

Who knew that this duke usually does not show the dew, but as soon as he arrived on the throne of the emperor, he immediately showed his bold and shrewd characteristics. He took the initiative to meet the Pope and prostrate himself at his feet, asking for forgiveness for the mistakes of his predecessor. On the other hand, he carefully reorganized the interior of the empire, uniting weak principalities and counties against those powerful princes who threatened to split the empire. Externally, because he won the trust of the Pope, he took the initiative to carry the banner of confrontation against the infidels and became the political core of the Liberal world. By controlling the Inquisition and the Imperial Janissaries, Duke Deliot is a rare emperor in recent generations who wields real power.

At this time, there was a disagreement between the six electors of the empire. Some advocate abolishing the current emperor and replacing him with an obedient man. There are also those who support the current emperor, believing that the current situation means that the empire urgently needs an iron-blooded emperor to turn the tide and drive the Deserts back to the bitter cold land of the north.

The Duke of Loyle, one of the six electors, said: "The present situation does not allow for any more internal strife. The Duke of Defot was resolute and resolute, and after taking office, he took the initiative to establish a good relationship with the Pope, which allowed him to raise the banner of religion against the enemy. For the separatists within the empire, he used the Inquisition to deal with them, although the methods were cruel, but the results were very great, and those powerful archdukes were constrained by religious factors, and did not dare and could not confront him head-on. The emperor himself took advantage of this banner to run rampant. Fighting against the Desets externally, and calling on all countries to recover the holy city of Roma in the name of Bojiao, is also standing on the moral high ground. The emperor seemed to bow his head in front of the Pope, but in fact, he used this to gain greater strength. ”

"You are the father-in-law of Duke Deliot, of course you will say to him!" Duke Borot, one of the other six Electors, said in response, "Duke Deliot has cut the domain on such a large scale, although you and I and all of you here have not been harmed for the time being, but it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be restrained by him in the future. Since the founding of the Empire, it has always been democratically elected, but his current move is clearly to consolidate and improve his power in the name of cracking down on heretics, in a vain attempt to emulate the dictatorial monarchy of the ancient Empire of Venen!"

"Do you have to wait until the Desserts reach the city of Cesar before you come to your senses?" asked Loyle.

"I'm afraid that when the Desserts don't hit the city of Sisa, you and I will have their heads on the ground!" Borot sneered, "Of course, you can sit back and relax, Duke!"

......

The current Emperor attaches more importance to the city than his predecessors, and has specially dispatched the most elite Imperial Guards to guard it. Although the city now has neither strategic nor economic value.

Some have speculated that the Emperor may have been intrigued by the treasures buried under the city of Grued.

Our dwarven Kai Gun and his party are here to steal treasure in this cemetery.

Over time, the walls of Gred City have weathered and become so low that they can climb over them if they cooperate with each other. The eastern city wall is almost no trace due to the earthquake more than 100 years ago.

There is no floating population in the city, it is lifeless, and even beggars are rare, because they can't get anything.

The thief Best's eyes were sharp, and he saw a tavern from afar, and Kai Gen suddenly became interested, and shouted: "I have been hungry and thirsty all the way, and I can finally let go of my belly and have a good time." ”

Old man Benedict said coldly: "Don't you think it's strange? There are few beggars in this city, and there are no birds to be seen, let alone people. ”

"It's best if there are fewer people, and the wine is mine!" said Kagun, who could not care about it, and rushed straight inside.

The city is full of rags, but this tavern is incredibly new and incredible. It looks less like a tavern than a church. Benedict was secretly on guard against something.

Strange to say, the tavern was not filled with the smell of alcohol, but a fishy smell. After Bester went in, he even sneezed twice, and the dwarf Kai Gong was choked with smoke, and said in his mouth: "Damn, this is a wine made from a certain place, it smells of fish and urine, and it seems to be a little bloody." ”

The tavern owner said enthusiastically: "This guest is really knowledgeable, our wine here is made from blood. ”

"What?—blood?" the thief Best listened, his legs trembling.

"I'm afraid of a bird!" Kai Gong scolded, turned to the boss and said, "I have read countless wines, and I have never tasted blood-brewed wine, so I will enjoy it with you today, and I will come to ten altars first!"

The boss didn't say a word, clapped his hands, and beckoned his men to move behind. The guys in the tavern are all young and voluptuous women.

Our Best's eyes were staring straight at the women's chests, and he had already lost all his caution.

The women also seemed to notice Best, a tall, young man, and threw away her eyes and kisses one by one, causing the thief Best to fidget.

Only Benedict remained on guard.

The tavern was by no means a good thing, and the women were especially wary, the smell of the wine made Benedict instinctively disgusted. Seeing that Kai Gong was attracted by the wine and Best was attracted to the woman, and the situation was extremely critical, the old man was in a hurry and calmly asked the tavern owner a question: "Excuse me, how long has your shop been open?"

"We. The boss paused, "Our shop is old, and everyone in the city knows about it, but in recent years, there are fewer and fewer people in the city, and business is becoming more and more difficult." Coupled with the fact that there is going to be a war in the north, no one will come to our east to break the city where birds don't. ”

"And what do you do for a living?"

"We sell wine not only to the locals, but also to the northern city of Roma, and recently the new emperor has sent the Praetorian Guard, so that the soldiers have nothing to do, so our business has improved a little. ”

"Can you reveal the origin of this blood wine?"

"This recipe is top secret!" the boss shook his head vigorously,

Benedict saw that the boss's answer was reasonable, and he couldn't say anything. After Kegong and Best have eaten and drunk, Kegun must stay in the tavern for the night, and Best is immersed in his fascination with the waitress, so he vigorously pouts and coaxes. Benedict had no choice but to follow the two of them.

In the settled room, Benedict whispered, "Don't you notice the strangeness of this tavern? With such a desolate town and such a big show, there must be something wrong!"

"Bird problem. Kagen touched his beard, leaned on the head of the bed and said, "Just drink well, whatever he does!"

The thief Best's eyes were still staring ahead, thinking about the seductive waitresses.

Benedict saw that these two could not be done, so he said no more, and he secretly decided not to sleep all night, to see what was wrong with this tavern.

Dead. There was no sound in the city during the day, but at night it was even more bleak and slaughtering.

The dwarf Kagong purred heartily, and the thief Bester dreamed of his sweet spring.

Only our Benedict lay in bed and pondered.

Suddenly, I heard a very low creaking sound, which seemed to be the sound of someone coming upstairs and pushing the door.

"It's not us who pushes it. Benedict muttered to himself.

It wasn't long before there was another creaking sound from far and near, this time much clearer than before, and the old man pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"It's not like a door pushing, it's like someone's mouth!" Benedict still whispered to himself.

The voice was getting closer and closer, and the old man could tell that it was coming from the mouths of several people, or rather several things.

Benedict scolded in his heart: "Sure enough, there is a problem!"

While lying quietly on the bed, he secretly prepared a spell.

The crunch finally stopped in front of the door of the three's room, and it was clearly the sound of someone spitting out and sucking the liquid out of his mouth! Benedict decided to strike first, he rolled over and jumped up, rushed to the door, kicked the door open, and said with a mouthful of words: "Saha, Kula, Skye!" This is the mage's housekeeping skill, hypnotism, not to kill, but to protect himself. Usually this trick is unpleasant, but this time, Benedict miscalculated. What appeared in front of him was neither a human nor an animal, but a vampire who jumped out of common sense. They were all bewitching women, with a harassy sound flowing from their mouths, and they made a crunching sound under their spitting.

Benedict screamed badly, and with a quick eye and a quick hand, he took a step back, closed the door again, and closed the latch on the door. Woke up Kagundy and Best again.

Kaigen was still confused, half-drunk and half-awake, and said nonsense: "What's the matter? In the middle of the night, you can't let people live in peace!"

"There's a vampire out there!" Benedict shook him awake.

"Ah, vampire! God forbid, God forbid!" the thief Bester was terrified, and his legs trembled involuntarily. He usually doesn't believe in Bojiao, but at this time he also picked up the Buddha's feet vigorously.

"Vampires are afraid of hair!" Kaigen was furious, partly because the old man had woken him up, and secondly because he realized that it was his own brutality that had led to the danger of trapping everyone in such a dangerous situation.

He took the two glittering plate axes in his hands, and despite Benedict's persuasion, he rushed out the door with his teeth and claws.
