Jianwan Fort is located in the southwestern border of the Moonrise Kingdom, close to the windless sea.

Two mountains are embraced like arms, forming a bay. The cliffs on the shore are craggy, and countless sharp stones rise towards the sky, like long swords.

So this bay has a very vivid name - Sword Bay.

Lothar knew very little about Fort Swordbay, but she heard a little about Fort Swordbay from Cadian along the way.

There are no valuable specialties near Jianwan Fort, and the land is not fertile. However, it is close to the Kingdom Road that runs from north to south in the Moonrise Kingdom, and the transportation is convenient, which is suitable for lords to control all places.

Jianwan Fort is small in scale and is a fortress with a military function.

Outside the castle, a small town naturally formed, providing a variety of services for the soldiers in the castle and the merchants who came and went from the north to the south.

Because it was in the middle of the war, the Sword Bay Fort was heavily guarded. Even with Cadian, the baron's nephew, leading the way, Lothar was under a lot of interrogation before entering the inner area of the castle and meeting Baron Charon.

Baron Charon was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build. He has a dark complexion and a keen eye, and has a capable temperament that has been crawling in the barracks. However, he did not have the sloppiness and unruliness of Bingyouzi, whether it was a beard or clothes, he was neatly groomed, and his gestures had a deep aristocratic recuperation.

The information that Cadian brought to Greenthorn City surprised him. However, Baron Caron quickly calmed down and gathered his subordinates to respond.

After the battle meeting, Baron Charon met with Lothar again.

"Lothar, I have seen you at the banquet of the Earl of the Long River before. At that time you were only as tall as your father's waist...... Hehe, now that you've become a great mage, I'm old. ”

Lothar knew that Baron Charon wanted to reminisce about the old days. Unfortunately, he, a time-traveler, had already fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the deceased, and was completely cut off from Lothar Frieddon's past.

"Allow me to express my regret at the passing of your father. He died on the battlefield, which was the highest honor for the Flero people. ”

"Thank you for your concern." Lothar bowed slightly.

Baron Caron took out the mission contract that Lothar had signed in Greenthorn and wrote his name on it, indicating that Lothar had successfully completed the commission.

A flash of inspiration flashed on the contract paper, and Lothar felt a surge of heat surging through her body.

"You successfully completed the commission. What you did had a significant impact on the battle between Baron Charon and Baron Masu. You follow the laws of the continent and gain 3000 experience. ”

Lothar nodded in satisfaction.

"The reward for the task is one hundred and fifty gold coins, and I will ask the housekeeper to bring it to you later." Baron Charon said, "On the first of April, the White Tower meeting of our dukedom will be held in Far Summer City. Although you are only a trainee mage, you cannot participate in the White Tower, but you are still qualified to be a spectator. Many well-known mages and representatives of powerful spellcaster organizations will be present. And the messenger of the White Tower of Truth. These are big names that are rarely seen on weekdays, even if it's just to get a long time insight, it's not bad. ”

"I'm also interested in going to Far Summer City." Lothar nodded.

However, he didn't want to be just a bystander, but wanted to attend the White Tower meeting in person and get the White Tower reward in exchange for ash and corrosion powder.

It's just that if you want to participate in the White Pagoda Society, you must become an official mage to be eligible.

Lothar is still one step away.

"So how about our peers? You can be with Kadian and my daughter. I also have some connections in the Earldom of Far Xia, and I may be able to introduce you to a few real mages when the time comes. With your abilities and qualifications, it will not be difficult to win the favor of one of them. With the guidance of famous teachers, I believe that the achievements of Lothar in the future are limitless. ”

Lothar knew that Baron Charon had taken a fancy to his abilities and was interested in getting acquainted. Although he was not interested in Baron Charon's proposal, he was grateful for the kindness.

"Thank you, Lord Baron, for your kindness. It is my honor to join you in the White Tower. ”

"Great!" Baron Charon was overjoyed, "During the White Tower, all wars must be stopped. With the information you and Cadian have brought, I can teach the bastards of the Moonstaff a hard lesson before the truce comes. When the time comes, at the White Tower Meeting, I will take a good look at the ugly face of the mongrel of Masuna! ”

However, although Lothar agreed to Baron Charon's invitation, he was not prepared to accompany Cadian and Baron's daughter.

The younger generation of the Barony of Sword Bay will return tomorrow and set off for Yuanxia City. And Lothar, ready to stay at Fort Jianwan for a while.

After bidding farewell to Baron Charon, Lothar left Fort of Sword Bay and went to the town outside the castle.

The town caters mainly to soldiers and traveling merchants, and there are countless inns, taverns, brothels, and casinos, but there are no magic shops.

No, it should be said, there is not a single magic shop on the surface.

While Lothar follows Kadian to Fort Swordbay, Lothar wanders around town out of curiosity and gets some interesting information.

Every morning, a strange man comes to the market to buy food.

He had a bald head, was tall, pale-skinned, and spoke in a dull and stiff voice. The most terrifying thing is that the guy's eyes often shine with blood-red light.

Some people say that this big man has an abyssal evil bloodline.

Some people say that this great man is infected with a terrible plague.

However, Lothar knew that although there were different opinions about the origin of this big man, none of them were reliable.

The real identity of that guy is a puppet.

Dolls, like golems, are constructed creatures. However, the golem is a combat weapon, and everything is designed to kill more enemies. Dolls, on the other hand, are mainly used for life and labor, replacing manpower.

The Golem must be ordered by the commander before it can act.

Dolls, on the other hand, have a certain level of intelligence and can act autonomously according to the instructions of their owners.

In the entire Adren multiverse, there is only one organization capable of creating dolls with artificial skin that look like humans.

That organization is called the East Star Sea Trade Society.

In the Adren universe, the various continents are not easy to communicate with each other because of the barrier of the sea of stars. And the organizations that can carry out transcontinental trade are extremely powerful.

Dongxingchenhai Trading Co., Ltd. is such a powerful organization.

However, this trading agency, although powerful, is very secretive, and the business is not very large, and it only serves qualified specific customers.

With the identity of an ordinary trainee mage, it is impossible to contact the Eastern Star Sea Trading Society through normal means.

But Lothar knows how to deal with this mysterious trading society. He even knows what kind of background and goals this trading society does not aim to make money.

One foggy morning, Lothar found the mysterious bald man in the mouth of the small traders at the noisy morning market.

He watched carefully and listened to the voices of the other party bargaining with the butcher.

After a while, Lothar saw a bright red glimmer in the other's eyes.

"This simulated puppet is powered by dragon's blood. The light in his eyes was actually the light of dragon power released by dragon blood. And that weird, stiff voice, must have been made by a piece of metal that had been a constant illusion. ”

After observing it with his own eyes, Lothar was already sure that this big man was a simulated puppet made by the East Star Sea Trading Company.

When the employees of this trading company are working outside, they will have one of these dolls by their side, and they will be responsible for chores and security work.

After buying enough food, the puppet leaves the town.

Lothar was far behind.

He believed that if he followed the puppet, he would be able to quickly find the trade society employee who lived in seclusion near the Barony of Sword Bay.

Lothar has a large amount of money in his hands, and he is not worried about the lack of money now, but only about how to efficiently convert the gold coins into his own combat power.

Carrying large bags full of baguettes, fruits and vegetables, flour, bacon, and more, the dolls walk along the path leading to the sea with the same frequency and amplitude.

But the tranquility of the uninhabited seaside was soon shattered.

Four men in black suddenly emerge from the shadows of the rock face and surround the dolls.

All four had long, thin cheeks, sickly pale skin, sharp canines turned outward, and cloudy yellow eyes.

Bloodline.

High-level vampires have golden eyes, and even have their own psychic effects such as charm, fear, and control.

And the eyes of the low-level blood clan are this cloudy yellow.

Four Bloodlines surround the puppet.

One of the Bloods sniffled and smiled greedily, "This guy has a very sweet smell on him. That's definitely the best quality blood! ”

"Yes. I once had the pleasure of tasting the blood slave of my lord. But the blood of that stunning beauty is not as sweet as the taste emanating from this bald head. ”

The faces of the four Bloods showed greed.

They licked their lips and attacked the puppet!

Although low-level vampires don't have as many powerful special abilities as high-level vampires, they are already excellent in terms of speed and agility.

Although the doll has the same skin as a human, it is still essentially a constructive creature, more than sturdy, but not flexible. As a meat shield to support combat, the puppet is capable of completing tasks excellently. But when you are alone, the combat effectiveness is not enough.

I saw four vampires turn into black afterimages and launch a crazy attack around the puppet.

In a few moments, the skin covering the surface of the puppet was torn to shreds by the vampire's claws.

Bite!

The claws slammed into the metal skeleton, and it dawned on the vampires.

"This guy is not alive!"

"And what's the sweet smell of blood he exudes?"

These low-level vampires are far less knowledgeable than Lothar, and it is impossible to know that there is a kind of puppet in the world that can use dragon blood as a power source.

But they have an ability that Lothar doesn't have.

Vampire's special skill - Blood-Control.

In order to taste the luscious dragon blood, the four vampires spread their wings in unison, claws with both hands, and invisibly tried to suck out the dragon blood stored in the puppet's body.

Lothar still expects the puppet to lead the way, of course, he can't let these four bloods do whatever they want.
