Valen Hammer was ready to be killed by a vampire.

Especially when his armor was removed and replaced with linen clothes, and the vampires imprisoned him with forbidden chains.

Even the moment he was threatened by that Northland warrior, he had a premonition of this day.

However, dwarves are never afraid of death.

Valen's eyes were unwavering.

The Mithril Vein was their last hole card, and no one could get the news from him.

Death will not bring him to his knees.

However, he was a little surprised by what happened next, and although he angered the mysterious and powerful vampire, the other party did not seem to intend to kill them.

After a day in captivity, the vampire named Stanley, who was level 15, took them out of Greentown after nightfall.

Valen is forced to ride a giant bat with a wingspan of ten blades to an unknown destination.

He knew the bat, an exclusive magical beast that only vampires could bring, and he knew the nature of these creatures when he had fought them in the underworld when he was younger.

But at the same time as he realized this fact, his heart was slowly becoming solemn.

When this giant bat with the name of the Magic Bat appears, there must be a vampire castle nearby.

Because these big guys can only be cultivated by vampires with a certain amount of power.

Sure enough, during the conversation with the vampires who were watching him, he learned that they were about to be escorted to the vampire's castle.

He vaguely heard the vampires call the castle the City of Dawn.

Valen scoffed at the name.

A group of cruel, murderous vampires have chosen a name full of hope and light as the name of the lair.

This literally made the god of forging laugh.

Even when Valen heard the name, the vampire castle scene came to mind.

Dark, bloody, terrifying

In a dark cavern that never sees the light of day, an ancient castle is erected in it.

The humid air can condense small droplets of water on the armor, the gray rocks are covered with small babts that are screaming, the sound of ticking water can be heard far away in the empty hole**, and the corpses around the castle are full of humans who have been sucked dry blood.

Such an ancient castle is actually named after the City of Dawn??

Shouldn't it be a dark name like Blood Castle, Crimson City, Gloomy Castle, etc.?

With a bit of ridicule on his face, he just wanted to speak, brushing ~ Valen only felt a dark in front of him, and a feeling of suffocation came.

Caps??!!

And it's also an airtight, even breathless hood.

What the hell! These goddamn vampires actually put a hood on me in the dark?!

If I make it back alive, I'll grind your ashes into powder and use them to light a fire!"

Varun was furious in his heart, but he sane up and didn't speak, and in this case, it would do nothing to provoke the vampire but to make himself uncomfortable.

Whew~

There was a shock under him.

The wind howled in my ears, and the bats took off.

Valen was unstable in his center of gravity and almost fell out of mid-air, but the vampire behind him helped him.

Valen took a deep breath, the expression under the hood full of bitterness.

As a master blacksmith among the dwarves, he had never been treated like this, even in his youthful adventures.

If he was young, he would have resisted desperately, but now he is no longer the one he once was, and now he still carries the hope of the entire dwarven tribe on his shoulders.

Responsibility made Valen's inner pride fall to the ground, and the continuation of the race was much more important than his life.

One sunset, two sunset,

Varun couldn't even remember the time until the end.

All he knew was that the bats beneath him were constantly flying.

In the end, Valen couldn't stand the breathlessness of the hood, and turned his head and shouted to the blood clan behind him,

"At such a distance, you still have to cover my head?

Do you think dwarves are damned elves?

Only the sissies who are close to nature can observe the trees below and remember the route as they fly through the air!

We dwarves are sons of the earth and don't have those sissy abilities!!

Damn, take off the hood of the grasp!! I protest to your President Iro! ”

It's a pity that the blood clan behind him ignored his shouts, the blood clan didn't have a good impression of these stubborn guys, and it would be good if they didn't torture him.

Vampires are the most standard dark creatures, although they are not so cruel to act under Li De's constraints, but dark creatures are dark creatures, which exist in the bloodline, and they cannot be erased by erasing them.

After a long flight, just when Valen was so tired that he felt like he was going to be covered in a hood.

He heard the excited voices of the vampires around him.

The City of Dawn has arrived.

"These cunning vampires actually built their nests so far away from the City of Daybreak, are they afraid that humans will capture them to make alchemy materials??"

Valen was furious, and he didn't have any affection for vampires.

If it weren't for the heavy responsibility of saving his people, he would have fought these dark creatures a long time ago.

Dwarves are never afraid of death!

In dwarven lore, the dwarves are sons of the earth who will return to the bosom of the earth after death and will become a precious ore for countless years.

The dwarves, who are extremely fond of digging and forging, naturally believe in this legend very much.

As long as they can be buried in the earth after death, death is not something unacceptable to them.

Brush~

The black hood on Valen's head was lifted, and the sky was just shining its first light.

Dawn is coming.

A sprawling city appeared in Varen's eyes, built in the middle of two huge mountains.

At this moment, the light of the sky passed through the middle of the mountains, and sprinkled over the city of dawn, and the magnificent appearance of the city appeared in everyone's sight.

Magnificent, spectacular,

In particular, the light in the sky makes the city a little holy.

Valen's eyes widened, and he watched the scene in disbelief.

The city in front of him was a world away from the gloomy castle he had imagined.

How could such a city be a vampire's castle?

Valen's eyes were in a trance, what is this city called? City of Dawn?

At this time, he realized that the city matched the name perfectly, especially when the bright light that emanated from the dark clouds in the sky shone above the city.

——————————

——————————

Valen then shook his head, his eyes flashing with mockery at the thought of the vampire's ability to feed on human blood donations.

No matter how good a city is, it's a vampire's lair, and the bones inside are now enough to fill the surrounding valleys.

He wouldn't think that the city was really what it was to see, with dark creatures like vampires known for their cruelty and murder throughout the Lord of Glory.

"Let go of me, you goddamn vampires, I swear! I'm going to cut off your heads! ”

At this moment, the angry scolding of the other magic bat caused Valen to twist his head, and the young dwarven prince Anakin was now bound by huge chains, and his hood was lifted.

The young dwarf was angrily cursing at the vampire beside him, who naturally would not be polite to the dwarven prince, and after a few punches, Anakin turned into a cry of pain.

Valen shook his head when he saw this, he still had too little experience, and before he had no intention of dying, provoking these vampires would only make him suffer.

Afterglow turned to the other side, and on the back of another magic bat, a fainted dwarf was secured to the saddle.

It was a dwarf who had been captured while consulting with a human merchant, perhaps having been battered and had not woken up for a day.

Valen had no choice but to pray in his heart that the other party would be safe.

"Lord Stanley, the Guardians of the Dawn salute you"

A short time later, two Bloodborns riding the magic bat flew up from the City of Dawn and headed towards Stanley and his party.

With the City of Dawn on track, there are now a lot of new disciplines.

One of these is that everyone entering Daybreak must verify their identity, even the BloodClan, and only fly into Daybreak City with the consent of the Guardians.

Flying in without consent will be perceived as an invasion by the Guards, who will attack directly.

This was an order issued by Li De himself.

The main purpose is to distinguish between friend and foe, otherwise whoever wants to fly in will fly in, so what is the airspace of the City of Dawn going to do?

Li De's order is the iron law of the blood clan, and no one dares to disobey it.

"Well, we are on the orders of the First Ancestor to escort the dwarves back to the City of Daybreak."

Stanley did not disobey and immediately reported his intentions.

Although the blood clan on the other side is only level 9, the other party represents the rules formulated by Li De.

The two Bloods flapped their wings and flew out of the Demon Whispering Bat, and only then nodded after a few Bloods had confirmed it.

"Welcome home, Master Stanley"

After speaking, he took the lead and flew towards the City of Dawn.

Valen sat behind the Magic Bat, silently watching this scene, his heart getting heavier and heavier.

These vampires behaved too formally, and this was simply the kind of vampire power he had in his impression of being loose and even undisciplined.

These vampires are like a well-trained army with a lot of discipline.

This discovery made his heart feel more stressed.

Whew~

The bat hovering in mid-air, led by the two Bloods, slowly flew into the City of Dawn with its wings flagged.

Valen took a deep breath and looked at the sprawling city below with a solemn gaze.

The first is the black city wall, which stands on top of a cliff hundreds of blades high, like a natural danger, able to block all powerful enemies

Beyond the city walls, there are undulating buildings, large manors, and two or three storeys of residential houses standing side by side occupy the position close to the city walls.

There is also the large bell with the most conspicuous obelisk on the corner, the semicircular windows inlaid with stained glass, and the image of the vampire hero carved on the roof.

But what caught Wallen's attention the most was the statue of a dozen blades tall in the center of the city, the tallest building in the city.

Ordinary people stand in front of the stone statue like a dwarf, and the stone statue is lifelike, and the expression is full of kindness.

Immensely grandiose.

As Valen looked closely, he could faintly feel that the statue was looking at the vampire of the Dark Covenant.

Retract your gaze and follow the bat's trajectory to look at the city beneath your feet.

With the wind in his ears, Valen looked down from the sky, the streets below neat and clean, and the occasional soldiers on patrol could be seen.

There are even quite a few residents who have just woken up and are greeting each other.

It seems that this vampire-ruled city is no different from a human city.

Valen's expression was a little strange when he saw this scene.

But just as he thought that was it, at the end of his sight, near the edge of the city, a huge figure flashed in his sight.

The huge one-eyed one shocked him a little.

What is that?? Cyclops??

By the time Valen tried to check again, the figure was already hidden behind the building.

At this time, Valen's mind was full of doubts, there were still cyclops in this vampire city??

Whew~

Huge wings stirred the air, rolling up waves of air.

Valen exhaled deeply, and he wondered if he had just been dazzled, and at this moment, the magic bat under him slowly lowered its height.

A wide square greeted him.

"Why did the vampires build such a huge square?"

Valen's mind was full of doubts at this time.

By this time, he had found that he could not understand the vampire city.

Everything here was nothing like the vampire castle he remembered.

Valen was hit hard at this time, having been to the vampire's castle when he was younger.

It was eerie and damp, and white human bones were everywhere.

But this city is different, completely different, it is not like a vampire at all, but more like a human city.

But then, Valen saw something that surprised him even more.

After the bat landed, dozens of human soldiers in armor swarmed around the square, and vampires with bat wings folded could be seen among the human soldiers.

What's going on??

The dwarf's mind was a little dazed at this point.

Turning his head, Valen even saw a vampire smiling and chatting with the human soldiers next to him.

It was like two ordinary humans communicating in their spare time, and there was no difference between a vampire and a human at all.

And he didn't see the slightest fear of vampires in the eyes of that human.

It seems that it is normal for humans to talk to vampires.

Valen felt that his inner concepts were about to be shattered at this time, and his black eyes were full of blank eyes looking at this scene.

When did the vampires, who have been extremely disdainful of humans and have always regarded them as food, have such a close relationship with humans??

As a dwarf who has lived for more than three hundred years, Valen has experienced a lot in his life.

He had traveled the human world for decades, and he knew very well what vampires were in the eyes of humans.

Murderous, bloody, cruel, among the dark creatures that humans hate the most, vampires can definitely rank in the top three, and even the first will not be disputed by many people.

But now, this kind of natural enemy who is absolutely impossible to live in peace, and even if you find out that the other party must be either you die or I die, it is like a family??

What's the difference between this and the undead and the damn elves?

"The God of Forging is above, I must have been under the magic of a vampire and hallucinated!!"

————————

————————

With no one to solve Valen's doubts, Stanley, who was escorting him, left after handing over to the Bloodline.

Valen was unable to observe the city any further, and was escorted out of the plaza by human soldiers and Bloods.

Meanwhile, the dwarven prince Anakin and another unconscious dwarf were not with Valen, but were taken somewhere else.

Valen has no power to resist these damn vampires, so he has no choice but to let them move.

Because of the dawn, the quiet city began to slowly recover, and the sleeping dawn began to wake up.

The crowd on the street slowly became lively as the sky brightened.

The bakery who got up early to prepare food had already baked fragrant honey bread, and the farmer who was ready to go to the heavens and the earth to cultivate was ready to set off with his farming tools.

Guarded by five vampires and twenty patrols, Valen stepped out of the square into the streets.

The moment he stepped into the street, Valen only felt a noisy atmosphere instantly reach his ears.

Looking at the scenes on the street, his expression was very shocked, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

This is a vampire city??

The bluestone-paved streets are clean and tidy, and there is no excess garbage in sight, and the greenery and flowers on both sides exude a faint fragrance.

Residents were talking to each other with smiles on their faces, and there was a long queue in front of the bakery, and no one cut in line.

Just when Valen was surprised by the city, something even more shocking happened.

Residents passing by greeted the vampires who were escorting him with smiles, and just then the child next to one of the women suddenly ran up and hugged the thigh of one of the vampires, and the child even jumped up and grabbed the half-folded bat wing behind the vampire.

And the vampire didn't have the slightest annoyance, and even picked up the child and kissed each other on the face with a smile.

If humans and vampires have a laughing patrol, it surprises Valen.

So the inhabitants of this city are so close to the legendary dark creatures of vampires, which are already in a state of confusion.

The God of Forging is above, this must be fake, how can such a thing happen?!! It's 10,000 times more shocking than the harmony between the sissy elves and the dwarves.

Vampires live in harmony with humans??! Not even the most lame troubadour dares to boast about it like that?!

Valen bet no one would believe him if he told him what he had seen.

Yes, no one, not even his people, would believe it!

Humans get along so well with vampires, it's a prank of the goddess of doom!!

But now, this kind of scene, which is impossible for even myths and legends, has appeared vividly in front of his eyes.

The shock brought by this psychological shock is unimaginable to outsiders, just like some long-standing common sense has been subverted.

Valen was told that the ore was not dug out of the ground, but grew from a tree, which made him feel ridiculous and unbelievable.

He could only try to keep his eyes open and look around, trying to find the flaws in this illusion.

However, it was all in vain.

The lady florist who bends down to arrange the red roses at the door at the corner of the street, the white reliefs of the gods carved on the clean walls next to her, and even the hard touch of the bluestone floor on her feet, the warm smell of freshly baked white bread from the bakery on the street.

All of this really tells Valen that this is not an illusion.

Valen only felt that the road he had walked was unusually short, and in the blink of an eye, he had even reached the end of many details without observing.

At this moment, bang ~ the ground shook.

Suddenly, a huge figure close to four blades tall appeared around the corner of the street,

The grayish-white wrinkled skin is eye-catching, and the hairless head has a large one-eyed body, and the body is strong and full of power.

This is? Cyclops' cub ?!!

Valen immediately recognized the creature, he was no stranger to Cyclops, having killed one with his own hands when he was out on an adventure as a young man.

But that's not the point, the point is why such a ferocious creature as the cyclops is in this city??

My heart was shocked again.

He suddenly remembered the figure he had just seen in the air, and it turned out that there really was a cyclops here.

Then Valen looked at the cyclops cub as if he had discovered something, and ran to the blood clan leader with a bit of surprise.

"Good day, Lord Hill"

Continental lingua franca??

Ahem, ahem, Valen choked on his own saliva.

What the hell, when did even the Cyclops, who has never been very intelligent, be able to speak the continental lingua franca so smoothly?

"Sorey, why didn't you go to the Mage Tower yesterday afternoon??"

When the cyclops cub heard this, his huge eyes showed a little fear, "The homework is too difficult......

Hearing this conversation, the corners of Valen's mouth twitched fiercely, these damn vampires, what do they want to do?? They also teach Cyclops magic????

"Remember, don't skip class today, or I'll tell Master Corso."

Hearing Coso's name, the cyclops cub was taken aback, nodded quickly, and turned around and slipped away, obviously afraid of being charged.

Valen was speechless when he saw this scene, is this really a city ruled by vampires??

Why does he have a dreamy feeling?

"Let's go, the blacksmith is coming soon,"

The Bloodclan who led the team was not surprised by this, the Cyclops cub had lived in the City of Dawn for so long, and after a long time of contact with humans, his wisdom had obviously been developed.

So these "little guys" not only learned daily conversations, but were also selected by the Daybreak Mage Tower to study the topic of whether sapient creatures can become smarter, and are now studying magic in the Mage Tower.

Now these cubs are as intelligent as human twelve or thirteen years old, so it won't be too difficult to communicate with them.

Valen took a deep breath and looked at the Bloodclan next to him and opened his mouth as if asking something, but closed his eyes again in the blink of an eye.

This well-informed, three-hundred-year-old dwarf no longer knows what to say.

In a short time, the blacksmith arrived.

When Valen saw the nuggets, who had half dwarven blood, his face showed a bit of surprise.

He instantly found a sense of belonging in this strange city.

And the Nuggets were also very happy when they saw Valen, a dwarf.

"Your Excellency, the patriarch has commanded that this dwarf has been under the care of the blacksmith during this time, his body has been bound by the forbidden demon lock, and the blacksmith shop is fully capable of guarding him.

In addition, the Patriarch specifically told him that this dwarf does not recognize the Holy Light Blood Clan as their friend at this time, so he is our trophy and must complete enough work every day to get food.

Lord Nuggets, there are patrols and Holy Light Blood Sentry around the blacksmith shop all the time, please let us know if you are in trouble. ”

After the instructions, the leading blood clan left directly with the people, leaving only Valen, who was bound with the forbidden demon chains on his body.

The Forbidden Demon Chain is a very powerful torture tool, and those bound by the Forbidden Demon Chain will slowly fall into a weakened state, and if there is no key to unlock it, it will be difficult to damage the strong Demon Forbidden Chain even if it is slashed by a level 10 warrior.

The mage will be dispelled by the forbidden chain, while the warrior will be trapped in the blocked power, and the body will always be in a state of weakness, and can exert up to one-tenth of its strength.

The skeleton mage Dry Bones imprisoned in Daybreak Square are also bound by the same forbidden chains.

At present, all the high-end forces in Daybreak City are blood clans, and the inhabitants are very weak in force, and they are simply powerless to break the sturdy forbidden demon chains.

As for the security forces, those soldiers who had to be educated all day long would hardly be less loyal to Li De and the City of Dawn than the Blood Clan.

So as long as the walls are guarded to prevent outsiders from entering the City of Daybreak, then the city is absolutely safe.

This is also the reason why Li De can lock the necromancer's dry bones in the square of the Dawn City and send the dwarf to the blacksmith shop so safely.

When the Bloodlines left, the Nuggets immediately became excited.

Looking at Valen, who was about the same height as him and also had a big beard, his five fingers clenched into fists and hung fiercely on his chest.

"Your Excellency, I am a Nugget, half of the dwarven blood,

My father used to be a dwarf of the Nuggets, and then the Nuggets were destroyed by demons and fled to the human world, and after I was born, my father named me Nuggets in honor of the tribe that was destroyed. ”

When the dwarves meet each other, it is a tradition unique to the dwarves that the younger dwarves explain their origins to the older dwarves.

After hearing this, Valen's face showed a little joy, "Child, I didn't expect you to have the blood of the Nuggets tribe flowing in your body.

If your father is really from the Nuggets, I think you've heard my name......"

After speaking, even if the forbidden demon chain was entwined around his body, his expression was still proud.

Punched hard in the chest.

Although the "Valen Brute Hammer" forbidden demon chain was tied to his body, he did not tie his hands and feet, and it did not have much impact on Valen's actions.

The Nuggets' faces were stunned when they heard the name, and then they showed some surprise that could not be concealed.

"Master Valen?!! It's you!! ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly stepped forward and gave Valen a fierce hug.

After the two parted, Nuggets laughed, "Master Valen, my father was your apprentice, his name is Ange Nuggets, and he has mentioned your name to me countless times.

He said that among the dwarves, you are a worthy master blacksmith and are honored to have served you as an apprentice. ”

Hearing the name, Valen's face also had a look of surprise.

"I didn't expect you to be Aang's child, hahaha, the god of forging is above, and it is really an ancestral blessing to meet Aang's child.

If you're in the Brute Hammer tribe, I'll treat you to the best rum. ”

Nuggets patted their chests and said proudly, "Master Valen, the great city lord of Kachar once rewarded me with a large barrel of good wine, maybe we can get drunk tonight......"

Hearing this, Valen frowned slightly, and looked at the nuggets with some puzzlement.

"Child, why do you have so much respect for a cruel and shady vampire?

You are the child of the dwarves, you have ancient blood, no one can make us dwarves bow their heads, and we should not abandon the honor of our ancestors to submit to a vampire. ”

These words made the originally lively scene suddenly fall into freezing, and the smile on the Nuggets' faces froze.

When the other people in the blacksmith shop heard Valen's words, the respectful look on their faces immediately turned into hidden anger.

This damn bastard should have insulted the great city lord of Kachar like this!!

If it weren't even for the nuggets, this group of people would definitely go up and teach this dwarf who didn't know what to do a lesson.

Nuggets looked at Valen's serious expression, and slowly suppressed the excitement of meeting his father's teacher.

After taking a deep breath, he stared at Valen in front of him, and his tone was deep.

"Master Valen, I wish you would say this only once in front of me.

The city lord of Kachar has not only given us a new life, but also given us hope and a future.

Without the City Lord of Cachar, there would be no gold nuggets, no blacksmith shop, no brothers of all my companions, and nothing here!!

In the City of Dawn, the City Lord of Kachar is a great being that we can defend with our lives, no one can question the Lord of Kachar, no!!

You can't do it either!! Even if Master Valen, you are a legend of the dwarves and an elder that I respect.

To be hostile to the Lord of Kachar is to be an enemy of the entire City of Dawn, and to be an enemy of me!! ”

The Nuggets' words were categorical without the slightest hesitation.

If it weren't for the great city lord of Cachar, how could they have lived like this?!

His little cub was specially recruited into the Mage Tower to learn magic, and now someone dares to question the city lord of Kachar.

Even if the questioning was a legendary dwarf he once respected, it was unbearable for him.

When Valen saw Nuggets and the dozen or so humans around him glaring at him, he was no less shocked than when he had just seen humans and vampires living in peace on the streets.

The lord of the city of Cachar? It must be the mysterious vampire named Iro.

Valen knew how prestigious he was among the dwarves, but even so, a half-dwarf with half-dwarven blood would confront him with the toughest gesture just because of his words.

And what he so desperately defended turned out to be a vampire??

This deeply shocked Valen.

What is the magic of this mysterious vampire that not only makes humans, vampires and even cyclops live in harmony in the city, but also makes everyone worship him so respectfully?

Valen had carefully observed, and it wasn't just Nuggets who looked adoring when they talked about the vampire, but everyone else.

It seems that the title of the lord of Kachar is a sacrosanct existence here, and no one dares to disrespect him, and this respect is not mandatory, but everyone's respect and worship from the heart.

That's the scariest thing.

After arriving in the City of Dawn today, Valen found that his own three ideas were rapidly collapsing.

This vampire-ruled city is so different, it seems that there is a strong magic here, which makes the city part of the race, good and evil, merge together.

At the same time, he also aroused a great curiosity about the City of Dawn.

What kind of vampire is Iro, or the lord of Kachar, who can be so worshiped by everyone?

What will the city known as the City of Dawn really look like?

From the disdain at the beginning, Valen is now aroused by the scenes of the city.

The city built by Li De himself has once again proved its charm with its indescribable attraction.

And these residents who live and live here, after Li De's countless sowings, began to become the city's most powerful assistants in assimilating the foreign population.

The City of Dawn has just begun.
