Chapter 508: The Breath of Blood
Tomorrow is the day to open a shop in the High Elf Town.
After turning off the summoning system, Arin picked up the work report and looked at it, Luini has been working on this matter recently, after all, this is related to the financial problems of Ulduar City in the future, plus if there are loyalists among the human race, if he is not wrong, it is estimated that it will not be long before the civilian population of Ulduar City will explode again, and at that time, it will be necessary to completely abolish the current material supply system and completely transform it into ordinary commercial transactions.
"Salt, sugar, grain, cloth, these are allowed, pig iron┉┉" Yalin rubbed his temples.
Salt, sugar, grain, cloth, These daily necessities are traded with elves Yalin has no opinion, but pig iron has to let Yalin think about it, after all, this thing can make weapons, you must know that in the ancient times of the original world of Yalin, no matter which country will strictly control the flow of pig iron into the hands of countries and nations that do not produce iron, after all, in the era of cold weapons, pig iron is a strategic resource, for countries and nations that do not produce much iron, it is equivalent to less weapons and armor against the enemy, and it will be severely weakened on the battlefield。
Even during the Han Dynasty in China, smuggling pig iron to the Xiongnu was a felony that was beheaded all over the place, which shows how valuable all kinds of metals were in the cold weapon era when the surplus productivity was relatively backward.
As the administrator of the United Nations in Gasol, it is impossible for Luini not to consider this problem, but considering the situation in the whole other world, pig iron is too common, and it is the rarer mineral metals such as Mithril, Olihacom, and Adamantite that are really stored as strategic materials. In addition, the population of the high elves is not right until now, from the initial more than 1,000 people plus some of the population that has been continuously replenished during this time, there are only more than 2,000 people at full count.
You must know that more than 2,000 people are already the size of a town in another world, but from the perspective of Yalin, there are almost so many people in the middle school he used to study~
Let's not talk about whether the High Elves dare to resist themselves. Even if they resisted, it was estimated that as long as a white dragon guard went there, they could be annihilated. Coupled with the fact that the High Elves had recently begun to implement a pro-Ulduar City policy as they had hoped, Arin felt that there was no need to restrict the flow of pig iron into the Elven Town in a petty manner.
In the end, Yalin still drew a hook on the report: "Let's still allow it." ”
At the same time, in two distant regions far away from the Yanod Mountains, two things are happening at this moment that are related to the inhabitants of Yarin and this world.
In the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, which has recently become famous for a while and is still popular, Lulu Correction listened to the report of the Lord of the Yin Current, since the last time he attended a dinner hosted by the Food Club, he had been scouting for a few days before returning to the Chamber of Commerce. Just as Lelouch had predicted. This club with non-human beings is really not ordinary, and the water in the city is a little muddier than I thought.
"Vampire, are you sure?"
The robbery still hid herself in the shadows as usual, only the ethereal voice sounded in the room from time to time, and Alyssa on the side shivered when she heard it, because what she saw and heard on the day of the robbery was really unbelievable.
After the dinner that day, Zai was ordered to return to the food club, and kept an eye on Isabella and Jefferson, and waited for several hours until the whole mansion was quiet, and the two quietly opened a secret passage in the warehouse, at which point Zai noticed that a huge underground chamber had been built under the entire mansion. And where it seems that Isabella, who is charming and fiery, and Jefferson, who has a gentlemanly demeanor and is informal, reveal their true nature.
How to infiltrate the secret room took some time, and the entire secret passage was guarded by many guards, and from the breath, it can be judged that these guards are not human. In the end, the shadow form of the catastrophe lurked in the shadow of a guard before quietly entering the secret room, but as soon as he entered the secret room, he found that the temperature here made people feel like entering an ice cellar, of course, it was far less cold than the Yanod Mountains. And the scene in front of the catastrophe is full of strange atmosphere, the underground secret room is divided into many small rooms, each room is imprisoned by a person, there are men and women divided into different age groups, but everyone seems to fall into a coma and sleeps quietly.
Zai had no interest in wondering if Isabella and Jefferson had some alternative fetishes. But upon closer inspection, it became clear that the unconscious men had tubes wrapped around their bodies that were slowly extracting their blood and placing it in a blue container underneath. And there are tubes that are constantly delivering nutrients that keep these people alive and bare a minimum. It doesn't take long for someone to come and take away the container that collects the slow blood, and it's hard to imagine a blood-producing factory beneath this palatial club.
Then, when Isabella and Jefferson drank the blood sent by the maid, they were already surprised, and after the two of them, they saw an additional banquet being held in this secret room, or rather, a ritual.
At the beginning of this special ceremony, the robbery hidden in the ceiling chandelier saw many nobles and merchants who had been at the previous banquet running into the secret room in blood-red clothes. At this moment, two guards walked in with a young girl with the mark of the slave on her arm. And in front of the robbery, Miss Isabella, who was shining at the banquet, slit the throat of a girl who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old with a golden dagger, and filled the blood into a golden cup in the girl's convulsions, and finally Isabella also signaled a maid who exuded a non-human breath to cut her wrist and mix some blood into the cup, and then Jefferson poured some strange liquid into the cup. It wasn't until the end that Isabella gave the blood donation to a nobleman who looked very old.
This nobleman seems to be the lucky one today, and seems to have contributed the best efforts to the forces behind Isabella, when the old nobleman happily drank the blood in the cup, he was surprised to find that the black old age spots on the face of the nobleman who looked sixty or seventy years old quickly disappeared, and the skin of the whole person gradually became ruddy and full of blood, and in an instant the nobleman became energetic as if he was twenty years younger.
The merchants and nobles who participated in the ceremony on the side looked at the lucky man with greedy eyes, and Isabella also took this opportunity to bewitch these people who had little left of the fire of life, and I have to say that whether it was the rich and powerful. Life is limited, when gradually aging and facing the threat of death, if there is a chance to rejuvenate, not to mention Isabella, a seemingly charming but ruthless beauty, is a terrible demon with the agreement to burn this ominous flame in front of him, it is estimated that these people who are confused by aging and death will not hesitate to seize the price in front of them.
Zai has a deep understanding of this, because in order to reach the peak, he did not hesitate to snatch the mysterious scroll!
After witnessing a qiē. He didn't leave in a hurry, but patiently waited for Isabella and Jefferson and the others to leave, and finally took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and started to use some useful evidence on his mobile phone. As a result of the instinctive perception of the robbery, the strange liquid that Jefferson put into the cup during the ceremony should be an important reason for the rejuvenation of the nobles, but the robbery searched for a long time and did not find where the liquid was stored. In desperation, Hou Zheng chose to kidnap a maid and forced her to explain the storage location of that special body, but what the robber didn't expect was that these inhuman maids were more resistant than they imagined.
After being put on the neck by the spider blade, a girl who seemed to be weak actually dared to fight to the death in this situation and tried to subdue the robbery in turn, when the maid twisted the spider blade, he obviously found that the girl in front of him had the strength to hit beyond ordinary people, and for a while he couldn't take advantage of the competition of strength, and he unceremoniously cut off the maid's right arm in a thought. Immediately after cutting off one of her legs, the maid finally confessed in fear. That particular potion was brought out during the ceremony, and only Jefferson and Isabella were allowed to touch it, and the maid didn't know where the potion was placed.
Because it was on the other party's territory, Zai didn't have time to torture the other party slowly, and after the maid explained some useful information, Zai cut off the maid's head without mercy, and when the maid died, the whole body was burned into black charcoal like it was burned out. Obviously, this strange way of dying made Zai even more suspicious, but Zai didn't have time or interest in exploring this phenomenon. After leaving the secret room, he cautiously followed Jefferson and Isabella in an attempt to steal the potion from the two of them, and remained hidden for several days. Even though the maid he killed had been discovered, the entire food club was searched, and it was in this dangerous situation that he finally found an opportunity to steal a bottle of potion from the vault!
It's just that what I didn't expect was that these potions were very closely guarded by this mysterious force, and even each bottle was secretly carved with a protective pattern, and the effect of the carving had been activated the moment the bottle was moved. Killed two ordinary human guards, facing Isabella and Jefferson and a large number of guards who rushed over, I don't know the depth of the other party's strength, and I can only give up these potion bottles that not only have protective inscriptions but also trace inscriptions, but before leaving, they unceremoniously destroyed a lot of potions, so that Isabella and Jefferson who rushed to the scene angrily ordered a large-scale search, and it seemed that they would not give up until they were caught.
After listening to the report of the robbery, Lelouch fell into deep thought. It turns out that Isabella told herself that this is what she meant by eternal life, but is it true that Isabella's method can make an ordinary person immortal? You must know that there is a life-prolonging potion in this world that can only be concocted by the great grandmaster, and it is only a part of a person's life, and eternal life is still impossible to achieve.
Moreover, the highest level of pharmacists on the continent is only a grandmaster, and there are only a handful of people, and the great grandmaster has almost become the cunning zài in the legend.
Lelouch didn't think that Isabella and Jefferson were grandmaster-level pharmacists who could concoct life-prolonging potions, and even the life-prolonging potions themselves needed materials were very scarce, so maybe a person could be rejuvenated with some blood and a dispensing like that, if it was really so simple that people could live forever, then would it be necessary for such a thing as life-prolonging potions?
Thinking of this, Lelouch couldn't help but take out the invitation he received last time, it will be banquet time in a few days, maybe he will be able to find some answers at this new banquet by then. (To be continued......)
