Chapter 18:

The crowd slowly flew out of the canopy, and in front of them was a vast desert plain. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [Mobile phone, tablet to read novels, please visit m. directly, update faster, more traffic saving]

About ten kilometers from them, the tip of a castle protruded from the canopy.

As the crowd ascended, their sight became farther and farther away, and this plain gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

It is a plain covered by forests for the most part, dotted with lakes, and near some lakes and rivers there are small open fields, often centred on a castle, surrounded by large fields of farmland and countryside.

Bai Qi knew that the seemingly peaceful and harmonious scene in front of him concealed the incomparably terrible blood, those castles were the strongholds of the vampire nobles, and the human farmers outside the city had to sacrifice their most beautiful sons and daughters as food to the vampires in addition to providing for these vampires.

The nearest to Bai Qi and them was a small castle, which was located by a small lake where a stream converged, and there was a field of more than ten square kilometers around the castle, and there were seven or eight small villages scattered around the castle.

Pros staggered and flew beside Bai Qi, barely stabilized his figure, looked at the castle carefully, and said: "Judging from the size of the castle, this is a baron-level castle, but this castle is very old, at least a hundred years old, so it is difficult to conclude that there is a baronial family living here, and even if it is a baronial family, there should be many family members." ”

Bai Qi nodded, he understood what Berndt meant, according to the tradition of the blood clan in this world, a castle represents a vampire family, and a vampire only has the right to spread the bloodline if he has a castle.

Vampires are very powerful, they are almost a combination of warriors and warlocks, that is, they have a strong physique, and they also have a lot of talented spells, warriors of the same level are not their opponents at all, and it is also very convenient for vampires to make offspring, they only need to inject their own essence blood into the body of a human with good qualifications, vampires have absolute control over their descendants, and this control comes from the bloodline, which is irresistible.

Vampires are not afraid of garlic, nor are they afraid of silver, and they are not afraid of the sun, they just hate these things, silver and garlic are easy to absorb positive energy, and the sun itself contains positive energy, but this natural positive energy, the concentration is very low, far enough to cause harm to vampires, but it will make them uncomfortable and suppress their state.

Vampires are so powerful and have almost endless lives that in the eyes of many ordinary people, they are almost a perfect creature.

But according to Bai Qi's understanding, in the main world, there are vampires in the kingdom of the gods and the arcane empire, but this powerful creature is suppressed by humans in a dark corner, and it does not dare to see the light of day, why?

The reason is simple, vampires are too difficult to level up.

In fact, it is difficult to say, and it is not accurate, there is actually no difficulty for vampires to improve their level, as long as your bloodline is noble enough, you only need to have enough human blood every day to ensure enough time to sleep, then you don't need to do any exercise, and the strength level can be improved, but the problem is that this promotion takes too long.

A human warrior, as long as he has intermediate qualifications, as long as he works hard enough, it only takes seven or eight years to be promoted from a trainee warrior to an intermediate warrior, but a newborn vampire, if he wants to grow to the baron level, even if he has a top-level bloodline, it will take forty or fifty years, and if the bloodline is a little worse, it will even take one or two hundred years.

The vampire's power boost cannot be obtained through cultivation, the vampire's power comes from the blood core, and the blood energy generated in the blood core can be converted into power, and it can also be converted into the power of spells, which is very useful, but the improvement of the blood core can only rely on time, so the vampire is strong in the blood core, and weak in the blood core.

According to Bai Qi's investigation of the background of this world during this time, although a fifth-level vampire can be named a baron, but generally speaking, only the most powerful and talented middle-level vampire will get this honor, if the talent is not enough and is not favored, he will always live under the control of his parents and cannot create his own family.

Therefore, although the castle in front of him is only a baron-level castle, it is not surprising if there is a viscount-level vampire family living in it, more than a hundred years, it is enough for a well-qualified seventh- or eighth-level vampire to grow to the ninth level, and enough for a group of low-level vampires with better qualifications to grow to the intermediate level.

Despite this, Bai Qi has already decided to take this castle, after all, what he just said is only a possibility, and it is a possibility that is not very likely, after all, it will be sealed in this remote place, and the bloodline and talent of this vampire cannot be much better.

Besides, even if there was a high-level vampire living here, Bai Qi also had a ninth-level paladin and a ninth-level werewolf under him, as well as a group of eighth-level professionals, if he didn't dare to take risks like this, then he would simply give up this mission.

Bai Qi divided the team into four groups, led by himself, Berndt, Berrot, and Clark of the Holy Watch, and circled the four directions of the castle from the forest to the castle at the same time.

The castle's guards were completely unalert, and it wasn't until the werewolves in the lead pounced on the wall that the alarm bells rang.

Most of the guards on the castle walls turned out to be human warriors, commanded by a small group of vampires.

Vampires will select a subset of humans in their territory for training, and in the training, some of the human warriors will show their talents, and these gifted human warriors will be turned into their descendants by the vampires.

The growth rate of vampire descendants is mainly determined by their bloodline level, but it will also be affected by the physical qualifications of the original humans, so the vampire sect will try its best to select humans with good qualifications to transform into descendants.

And when a human warrior is transformed into a vampire, a large part of their professional level will be converted into a vampire level, which is equivalent to shortening the growth time of the vampire, so the vampire will also transform them after cultivating the human warrior to a certain level.

Vampires can't make descendants without limit, the number of descendants that each vampire can control is limited, the number of descendants that a vampire can control is between fifteen and twenty, but the descendants of vampires can also control descendants, and through this indirect control, a vampire can control almost infinite descendants.

Vampire descendants cannot grow more than their masters, and if a vampire descendant catches up with his master, his blood core will stop growing on its own.
