The battle is over.

Ivanaor's camp reaped a resounding victory.

Standing at the mouth of the Thun River, Charles stared at the white skeletal warship that had been dragged ashore by a group of Ivantall soldiers with ropes, his eyes glistening with satisfaction.

Avansor is not a port city, so there is no need for warships, but unlike Iliaba, the Rock Territory was not scuttled by the coalition forces at the request of Charles and DeLori, but was taken as a trophy and returned to the dockyard to be built in Irip, and after repair, it was incorporated into the combined fleet of Rock Territory and Iliaba as the capital ship.

The information on the white skeleton warship appeared in front of Charles' eyes:

"Sea Dragon" (Damaged)

Health: 48%

Applicable terrain: water

Defense Level: ★★★ (Excellent)

Attack Level: ★★★ (Excellent)

Mobility/Mobility: ★★★ (Excellent)

Characteristic:

1. [Hazy Force Field] (Active): There is a 20% chance of missing the ranged physical and spell attacks against the Sea Dragon.

2. [Deep Sea Diving] (Active): The Sea Dragon can unfold a large underwater breathing barrier once a day, and the hull will be surrounded by an invisible layer of air during the duration of the barrier, and the water pressure will be affected when it leaves the air layer. Sea creatures may also attack the hapless crew left behind by the Sea Dragon.

3. [Steel Skeleton] (Passive): Don't underestimate the 'Sea Dragon', from the outside, it is an empty skeleton ship, as if it will fall with a single blow, but in fact, every skeleton that builds this ship has been enchanted and forged by a high-level mage of the Dragon Witch Sect, and its hardness is comparable to steel.

……”

A special ship with a purple quality rating!

In fact, back in the days of Waterdeep, Charles had traveled around the harbors of Waterdeep and had some information about the ships.

Ordinary civilian fishing boats and transport ships have no attributes, and the white data text is, in the player's words, a tabula rasa.

Further up were the merchants' armed warships, armed with guns and mortars, with hulls made of treated timber that could barely defend themselves against pirates at sea. These are commonly known as green boats.

The third tier is the large blue quality warships, usually three to five stories high, and carrying about 100 guns. For example, the 'Dragonroar', which Charles once climbed, is the flagship of the Epgill family's Dragonroar fleet in Waterdeep.

This shows how rare a ship of purple quality is. The captured 'Sea Dragon' is fully qualified to become the flagship of the combined fleet of Rock Territory and Ypgill in the future after being repaired!

As soon as the Sea Dragon was towed ashore, the matriarch DeLori left in a hurry.

She prepares to go to Irip to find Alamir, and orders the silver-haired swordsman to gather the fleet of the Ipugir family in the Fallen Star River to intercept the fleeing dragon witch skeleton warship.

According to the harpist's information, there were three ships similar to the Sea Dragon, and two of them appeared as decoys near dawn last night, one was sunk by Ivanthor's side, and the other fled to the open sea in a damaged condition.

Unfortunately, one of Ypgil's fleets was far away in Prokamp, and by the time Alamil led the fleet to Dragonlake, the skeletal ship had long since disappeared. There was no hope for the capture of the second skeletal ship, the Shire.

After the war, with the exception of Deloree, the heads of the alliance gathered on the shore.

"Lady Ingrid, did you kill that dragon once and for all?" Kassandala, the female lord of the city, asked.

"I only destroyed the body of the dragon lich, but I could not imprison its escaped soul."

Ingrid looked at Charles playfully, as if to imply something.

The legendary ranger Van Reina stared at him, "I saw you kill Bossville...... Have you seen anything that looks like a Lich Crate? ”

"Lich Crate?"

Charles frowned.

He was now supported by Qian Fan behind him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stand up at all.

With a thought, the three items he had picked up not long ago fell to the ground.

The pure gold dagger and the gray robe were all exuding a faint golden aura, except for Qian Fan's eyes staring at these two pieces of legendary equipment, the aborigines present all stared at the third piece of equipment, the white bone belt!

This belt is so special that even with the detection spell, you can't see the slightest light.

"It can't be that, right?" Charles was secretly frightened.

The relationship between the Dragon Lich and the necromancer who made it is very strange, and the necromancers of the Dragon Witch Cult all regard themselves as servants of the dragon, serving the dead dragon and worshipping the dragon as a god.

But at the same time, it is strange that the dragon lich is not like other lichs who hide their own life boxes to death, and the gods cannot kill them at the source. The Dragon Lich usually gives the life box to its helper, who is actually its maker, so that when the Dragon Lich's body is destroyed one day, it can also use its life box to allow the helper to find a suitable body to resurrect as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it is an endless slumber until a suitable body appears.

The Lich's lifebox has too many forms.

For example, Charles has been exposed to 'magic paintings' for a while. It was the lifebox of another Lich Oracle of Nightshine, but it was directly destroyed by Nightshade.

Obviously, everyone present had similar speculations as Charles, but no one dared to make a move. Including Melikai's legendary female ranger, the eyes of the top officials looking at the white bone belt were full of fear.

In the end, it was Ingrid who made the move.

She grabbed the belt in front of her through the mage's hand, observed it carefully for a while, and then pursed her lips, her white and slender fingers slashed at the void in front of her, and then the belt was stuffed into the storage space of another dimension.

"I'll take the belt." Ingrid glanced at the priest who was being supported by Qian Fan, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Just think of it as if you paid me for the prayer technique in advance." Rest assured, I know a powerful demikamikaze djinn, and Anastasia is her descendant, so you don't have to worry about a problem with the Prayer Technique. ”

The Lich had apparently seen Charles' state of 'High Spell Spelling' for a long time.

In fact, Charles can also find a legendary priest to cast a 'miracle' to remove harmful spell effects from his body. But the problem is, legendary priests are all too rare. His Devotional Mentor was a newly promoted legend, but in Charles's mind, his relationship with Ingrid, or indeed with Nightglow, was significantly closer than that of the mentor with whom he had not been with for a long time.

Irip.

The small city did not organize a decent resistance, and was occupied by the coalition forces of Ivantil.

The mayor and councillors who had colluded with the Dragonwitch Cult were hanged in the market that day, their bodies still hanging from wooden stakes in the sun, and passers-by pointed at the gallows, all spitting and swearing.

Thanks to Avansor's good name, the ruling institutions of the coalition were quickly accepted by the citizens.

Simon, Rockling, Ivana, Ipujir, and the Harper's Alliance established a Council of Five on the day of the capture of Irip, with Mahi, Charles, Van Rena, Delori, and Selelia as councilors.

After the 'Council of Five', it will be the supreme ruling body of Irip, with a town hall under it, and Charles is going to go back to Rock Leader to have a good chat with Yuffie and Ren Qingwu, and send some more management talents to take over the city hall position assigned by Rock Leader.

At the same time, the 'Council of Five' decided to open a large deep-water dock in Irip, and Rock Collar and Ypgil gathered craftsmen to build a dockyard and build a powerful fleet according to the previous agreement.

Irip was only a small town, and one-fifth of the tax revenue that the Rock Leader received from the 'Council of Five' was not enough to cover the expenses for the construction of the dockyard and the fleet, and the missing part had to be filled by Charles himself.

It's going to be a huge amount of money.

In the past month, the rock collar has been greatly developed, and the endless construction projects are like a black hole that absorbs gold, Isaac's treasury funds have almost been used up unconsciously, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of gold coins Charles has been tightly covered, relying on the treasury funds to spend a period of time without worrying about money, it is time for him to spend energy to think of ways to make money.

"Sell that sub-artifact ring, it should last for a while."

Exiting Irip's town hall, Charles nodded to the lich waiting at the doorstep, "Let's go back." ”

"Not going to meet your little lover anymore?" Ingrid plays with taste.

"Huh?"

Charles tilted his head before realizing that she was talking about Mahi, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "She's my retinue...... No, it may not be in the future. It is highly likely that she has awakened the blood of the Scarlet Witch......"

"The Red Witch?" Ingrid obviously knew who the Red Witch was, and her ice-blue eyes widened in astonishment, "That's the source bloodline of the Blood Clan!" ”

"That's not right!"

Ingrid turned to raise an eyebrow and stare at him, "Where did you hear the name Scarlet Witch?" ”

"We Holy Arrivals have our own channels of information." Charles prevaricated casually, and Ingrid didn't seem to care about his answer, and said to herself: "Countless centuries ago, on a continent covered with fog and black forest. A mysterious being named the Red Witch visits a now-forgotten kingdom and bestows a powerful blood pact ritual on the kingdom's nobles. ”

"This ability of blood pact allowed the nobles to gain the vitality of vampires without degenerating into undead, and these human nobles became the first living vampires, and then the name 'Blood' gradually spread."

"To put it simply, the Bloodline is derived from humans, and the Blood Pact Ritual only changes their appearance. They still maintain their allegiance and belief in the Scarlet Witch. Rumor has it that the Red Witch is a priest of the Grim Reaper, or a saint or incarnation of a true god, but in short, the Bloods are not undead! ”

Charles had already heard similar words from Mavis once, so he was not surprised.

There is no equivalence between Bloodline and Vampire.

These are two completely different races. Charles felt that he needed to correct the name of the Vampire player in the future, oh, it should be the Blood player.

Vampires are undead, while Bloodlines are generally human, with extreme resistance to sunlight, holy water, and divine magic.

Thoughts turn back to yourself. Charles pondered.

The Dragon Witch Cult has been wiped out.

Faction rewards are not in a hurry to redeem, and it is imperative to remove the 'Advanced Spell Reduction Technique' on your body first!

So, instead of stopping at Iripdo, he and Ingrid used teleportation to return to the Rock Realm. (To be continued.) )
