Chapter 172: Bloodline Purification

Newborn vampires are impulsive.

They are not yet able to fully control their own power, especially after they have just transformed from the living to the dead, and they must face the choice of hunting and killing humans to survive. Many newborn vampires go into madness during this time, and then are forced to be imprisoned in a coffin for a long time, a process known as "hidden", and they are usually visited by other older vampires. These older vampires will be cultivated for a period of time, maybe several years or more than ten years, and only after the newborn gradually settles down and the love is also controlled, then they are released for activities.

It's a tough process.

Vampires seem to be powerful, but their growth cycle is too slow, and it takes them hundreds of years to reach the fourth order. The newborn in front of him is actually only a third-order, and it looks powerful because vampires have a high level of creatures, they have innate attribute bonuses, agility and strength are much higher than ordinary people, and they also have spell-like abilities. The one in front of Sauron is a defector, that is, he has just become a vampire and defected, so he lacks the experience of vampire survival.

If such defectors are caught, they will either be imprisoned and punished for a period of time, or they will be directly executed!

Because defectors are uneducated, it is easy to expose the vampire's tracks, and the uncontrollable thirst for blood will attract powerful enemies, which is devastating for vampires.

The fangs of the woman in front of her were bared, and she had long lost her original beauty, she looked at Sauron in front of her and said, "Help me?" How can you help me? Can a mere human help me? ”

Sauron smiled inexplicably and said slowly, "It looks like you're overestimating the vampire's abilities!" ”

"I'm standing still, as long as you can force me to take a step back between three attacks, then you've won? How is it? ”

Very arrogant tone.

However, Sauron must now increase the psychological pressure on the target, and for this kind of newborn with no brute strength and little skill, what he just said is not an exaggeration.

The current Sauron is not the Sauron he used to be, and he has the ability to fight back against quasi-legends.

"Good!"

The newborn vampire had a fierce face and attacked without hesitation. He leaped onto the wall, crawled straight onto it, and then lunged at Sauron. Like an eagle predatoring, the sharp claws slashed straight at Sauron's throat, seemingly intending to kill him with a single move. However, Sauron did not have any change in expression, he even closed his eyes, only spread his palms slightly, and then at the moment when the other party rushed down and pounced, his waist leaned back ninety degrees to avoid the opponent's claws, and at the same time, a cold light appeared in his hand. With a thud, the newborn vampire fell behind him.

Sauron's hands were still empty.

The newborn vampire looked at her abdomen in disbelief, and a half-foot-long wound appeared, with wisps of frost on it, and she was almost disemboweled. If it weren't for Sauron's mercy, the knife could have broken through her abdomen, cutting off half of even a vampire's physique. Although this injury was not enough to kill a vampire, it was enough to fill her heart with awe, and she saw her bow her head slightly. Hold down the wound with your fingers.

Sauron's expression was rather cold and arrogant, and he said lightly, "Do you want to try again?" ”

The newborn vampire shook his head and said, "No need. Excellency. I've believed in your strength, but I don't know why you're helping me, what do you need me to do for you? ”

Sauron felt that his acting skills were much stronger. It may be related to the fact that I have more contact with women, I used to contact men, and my acting skills have not improved much, but now my acting skills have at least increased by more than ten points. Sure enough, dealing with girls requires acting skills. Acting is a foundational skill that is surprisingly useful a lot of the time.

He moved his wrist slightly, and said slowly, "I just happened to meet you." I need something useful, and it just so happens that the elders who are hunting you have it. So I'm going to help you kill him. As for what I want you to help with, I can wait until your troubles are resolved. ”

"What's your name?"

The newborn vampire hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Ariana." ”

A bit of a mouthy name.

Sauron repeated, then said, "Good. Ariana. Tell me about you. I need to judge the strength of the elder who captured you back. After all, people who can turn you into a vampire are not easy to deal with. ”

Ariana hesitated slightly, but then a trace of hatred appeared on her face, and she said slowly: "It was my sister who turned me into a vampire, the cousin of my family, and my hometown is in the town of Nasolade, a down-and-out aristocratic family. My mother died of illness at an early age, and my father tried to restore the glory of the family, but unfortunately he never came back after going on an adventure. The cousin married a traveling nobleman twelve years ago and left with him. We were all very happy that she was back in her hometown this year, but we didn't expect her to be like this when she came back. ”

"She killed the others and then turned me into a vampire as a slave to her master."

"I escaped, and I fled to Shipwreck Bay."

It's really a bloody story.

Although the woman in front of her didn't elaborate, Sauron guessed the process, turned into a vampire cousin and went on a killing spree, seemingly killing the rest of the family, and then leaving her rather beautiful and transforming into a new vampire slave. Vampires are creatures that are members of the Standard Appearance Association, and are rarely transformed if they are not handsome or beautiful enough, especially the female vampires, most of whom are of medium or higher appearance.

"Good."

Sauron nodded slightly, "It seems that your cousin should be the one who will arrest you back, of course, it is more likely to be her master." ”

"But that's okay, I'll help you kill them. From now on you will be free. ”

He stood up and walked around, and then said, "You'd better rest for a while, this injury should be fine, right?" After all, vampires have a strong ability to regenerate. I'd better learn how to hunt, such an inferior predation technique is too easy to cause trouble. ”

Vampires are strong creature templates.

Their innate protection is +6 and their base health is 12, which is equivalent to a barbarian.

At the same time, vampires will gain various spell abilities, various resistance immunity abilities, various negative energy erosion abilities as their strength increases, and gain attribute bonuses of strength +6, agility +4, intelligence +2, constitution +6, perception +2, and charm +4 in their advanced forms. They have a +10 race bonus to their basic skills such as bluffing, hiding, listening, stealth, searching, spotting, etc.

Vampires have a base creature level of 8 and are creatures that are inherently close to the third order.

This dark creature actually doesn't have too many weaknesses, a lot of folklore things are fake at all, they have shadows and are not afraid of mirrors, garlic is just a smell that makes them nasty, the only thing they are afraid of is sunlight, which will massively reduce their strength, and it is even possible to kill weak vampires. The Achilles' heels are the heart and head, and high-level vampires can transform into bats and gaseous, making them a difficult creature to kill.

The others are similar to the undead, and Sauron has killed quite a few before!

One of the most important parts of a vampire's body is their vertebrae, which is a special spell casting material and a key item for evil to purify the bloodline.

The bloodline purification ritual is the transformation of supernatural forms of life, and there are many special spell casting materials in it.

They can improve the effect of the bloodline purification ritual, but they will not change their own racial bloodline, and there are more core materials for evil, and the sources are roughly more than ten kinds, such as vampires, werewolves, lichs, demons, devils, dragons, and so on. The simplest bloodline purification ritual is the direct blessing of the gods, and Sauron is naturally not naΓ―ve enough to think that there are gods willing to bless him. The second most convenient is dragon blood, but it must be a purebred dragon, and the minimum standard is a white dragon.

In the story, there are many professionals who bathe in dragon blood and become stronger, which is actually a bloodline purification ritual.

They're still human.

However, these people have unconsciously completed the bloodline purification ritual and obtained the bonus of dragon blood in their vitality. This ritual is as if they could have grown to such a life force, but because of acquired defects, such as insufficient nutrition in childhood, exercise did not achieve results, or other defective reasons, they did not reach the peak state of vitality. This ritual is to allow you to achieve the effect of being close to your current peak state of vitality, and may even improve your attributes that did not grow well due to other reasons in your childhood. (Extremely unlikely!) οΌ‰

That's what Sauron's purpose is, he needs to bring out the potential of his life force through the guΓ² ritual. He is not sure about slaying dragons now, and he does not have time to find dragons, vampires can be used as a good replacement, and using high-level vampires as materials to purify bloodlines, there will be an additional [strong] specialty, and after completing the bloodline purification ritual, he can increase his health by at least two or three class levels.

In other words, his vitality will be equivalent to that of a warrior of the same level who does not have a purified bloodline!

The night passed quickly.

Sauron left the inn the next day and began to prepare items to deal with vampires, holy water being the best thing to use, followed by other items to restrain dark creatures. From Ariana's mouth, Sauron learned a lot of information, and judged that she was transformed by a small vampire family, who used their innate ability to control the servants to enslave their servants. At this point, Ariana's will attribute is good, and she actually resisted the spiritual control of the vampire elders.

Now it's just a matter of waiting for the elders looking for her to show up, and then lead them to a suitable place to kill him.
