Chapter 298 The Vampire Who Loves Playing Gwent

With the map of the new world, Richard is ready to visit various places. At the same time, he collects various plants and animals in the new world.

Every time he crosses, he has an opportunity to enrich the ecosystem and gene pool. Although most of the plants and animals in these worlds are the same, each world has its own unique things.

The arcanist is about exploration, knowledge, and innovation. So these collected plants and animals are his wealth.

Richard found some mercenaries in the city who are familiar with the roads and local customs. Their main role is to let them act as guides. Then he made a magic carriage.

The carriage is made of magic materials and can walk on any ground as if it were flat ground. It is pulled by the dragon horse he cultivated. A large number of rune formations are set up in the carriage to reduce weight, have a protective barrier, and can resist legendary spell attacks.

The interior of the carriage has a vast space, and the space extension warlock allows it to easily fit a mountain. In addition to several villas, there are mountains, water, and an artificial lake. The mermaids like to swim in the lake.

After showing off their muscles yesterday, the mercenaries were like good babies, very honest. Of course, Richard gave them a generous commission.

But just as the carriage was on the way, the mercenary's cry for help suddenly came.

"Master Wizard, it's bad, there's a dragon! A dragon is attacking us!"

Richard came out of the carriage and saw a fifteen-meter-long green dragon flying towards here in the sky. Richard looked at the dragon and frowned slightly. This thing is more like a dragon beast or a dragon lizard than a dragon.

Dragons are intelligent, but the dragon in front of him is not intelligent. The dragon scales on its body are not those of dragons, but are similar to the tiny scales on lizards. The head is also closer to lizards, but it has dragon horns. It is huge, with bone spurs on the joints and wings, strong hind legs, short forelimbs, and is not a flying dragon.

So Richard realized that it was a dragon beast, a sub-dragon without intelligence. But if you underestimate them because of this, you will suffer a great loss.

This kind of dragon beast has some real dragon blood, and many of them have inherited dragon breath, although it is not as strong as the dragon breath of a real dragon. At the same time, their physical strength is also very strong, far beyond the flying dragon species. At the same time, this dragon beast has dragon power.

Seeing the green dragon flying over, Richard stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and suddenly endless lightning flashed in his hand. The powerful lightning power directly condensed into a spear.

"Swoosh!"

Richard threw it directly at the flying green dragon.

The powerful lightning flashed, and the lightning spear instantly hit the green dragon. The huge green dragon was directly pierced through the head by the lightning spear, and the huge body fell down under the action of inertia.

"Boom!"

The corpse weighing more than ten tons fell to the ground, and then rolled towards the carriage. Finally, it stopped more than ten meters away from the carriage. The mercenaries around were also scared and hid everywhere.

Richard stepped forward, waved his hand to put the body of the green dragon into the storage space, and then asked the mercenaries to continue leading the team on the road.

Seeing that Richard killed the green dragon, the overlord of the continent, with just a raise of his hand, the mercenaries around him looked dazed, and their throats swallowed unconsciously. The attitude towards Richard became more submissive.

Richard returned to the carriage, took out the body of the green dragon, and prepared to dissect it.

"Wow, Master, is this the green dragon you just hunted? Master is so powerful!" The mermaid Selina was shocked when she saw the huge creature in front of her, and then looked at Richard with admiration.

Daisy next to her couldn't help but curl her lips and whispered: "Pretending!"

Since these mermaids were caught, these mermaids began to stick to Richard frequently, which made the situation of more women than porridge even more serious. Part of their original benefits were taken away by those mermaids.

If there was a choice, she would never catch these mermaids.

The blood of this green dragon was completely extracted, and then the skin, meat, bones, and internal organs were also taken out.

The meat of the green dragon is not poisonous, and it is a magical creature. Its meat contains a lot of magic power, which can be made into food. The internal organs of the green dragon are poisonous, but they can be used to make potions.

Because the dragon scales are very thin and small, they are not taken off, but are prepared to be made into leather like dragon skin. If necessary, these leathers can be used to make wizard robes or other things.

Richard checked the dragon heart and found that the quality is very good, and it can be used to make dragon blood potions. The remaining dragon horns are good magic materials that can gather magic power and can be made into wands or other magic products.

Richard checked the last dragon blood and found that there is indeed real dragon blood in it, which means that giant dragons have appeared in this world. But later, it is not known whether they migrated away or became extinct. Of course, it is also possible that these green dragons and sub-dragons came here through the intersection of celestial bodies.

There is a lot of green dragon blood, part of which is used by Richard to make dragon blood ink, and part of it is used to make dragon blood potions. Dragon blood ink is used to write scrolls and magic books, and the demand is very high.

As for dragon blood potions, part of it is used as rewards, and part of it is kept in reserve.

The development level of the New World is very low, and the land reclamation situation is very poor. There are almost no decent cities along the way, and they are all villages gathered together.

Slavery is prevalent here, and slaves come from many sources, including local natives and humans trafficked from the Old World.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Lyon, another large city in the New World.

This city is much more prosperous than the port of Kahn where they landed. The city has tall walls and a wide moat. The buildings in the city are also magnificent and varied in style.

Richard saw many round dome buildings and some tall buildings with pointed roofs, which were also gorgeously decorated. This place is like a place where many styles converge and merge.

When he walked to the city gate, Richard found that the guards here were not human. He felt some blood from these people.

"Sir, they are werewolves." Noticing Richard's gaze, the mercenary leader next to him said.

The city looks very prosperous. After paying the entrance fee, the group entered the city. Not far from the city gate is a slave market, which contains caged humans, werewolves, dwarves, etc.

There are also many people who come to buy slaves. Richard may have seen many elves, dwarves, and gnomes here, and he saw halflings for the first time.

This kind of little man with hairy legs is not as strong as a dwarf, but he is very flexible and has excellent cooking skills.

This city gave Richard a very strange feeling. He actually saw a huge steam trailer next to the dwarf, which was used to transport goods. There was even a large steam hammer in a blacksmith shop.

The technological development here was so abnormal. Many places on the old road were slash-and-burn, but here there was even a steam engine.

There were many anomalies in this city, and even vampires opened shops openly. By the way, the shop they opened was very unique, similar to a pawnshop.

But the collateral they collected was not valuables, but blood.

In other words, if you borrow money from them, after paying the principal, you need to draw some blood as interest. If you can't even pay back the principal, it doesn't matter, you can continue to sell blood.

Vampires accept everyone. They grade the blood according to the quality and clearly mark the price.

Surprisingly, the business here is unexpectedly good.

"Is this city allowed to vampires?" Richard asked the mercenary leader Zod.

Zod shrugged and said, "Why not? The vampires pay the money, and those who borrow the money bleed. The price is clearly marked and fair."

"At least this method is better than letting vampires attack people at will."

"Sir, the vampires in the New World are divided into roughly three factions. One is the reformists, who buy blood with money. The second is the conservatives. They reject this method and regard it as cowardly. They believe that fear can make blood sweeter, so they have always been attacked by all humans, elves, dwarves, etc.

As for the third category, it is the neutrals. Of course, they are more inclined to the reformists."

Richard listened without comment. The vampires in this world are powerful, and humans are unable to eliminate them, so they can only restrict them. The reformists are better than the conservatives, but Richard guessed that there must be a mixture among them. The conservatives, perhaps these two factions are deliberately made by the vampires themselves to show others.

"Is there anything special here?" Richard asked.

"Hehe, of course!" Zod said with a grin, "There is a teahouse in this city that is seductive at night. It is definitely a paradise for men!"

"Seductive at night? What kind of place is this?" Richard asked.

"A hot spring run by reformist vampires. Of course, if you don't like vampires, there are other fun places, such as the Wolf Girl Hostel."

"I heard that a new banshee club has opened here recently. Those banshees also come here through celestial intercourse. They are charming and have great skills."

"If you like something more elegant, there are also humans and half-elves. As for pure-blooded elves, you can basically only try the Elf Forest."

Banshees, wolf girls, vampires, humans, half-elves Richard suspected that he was not in Lyon now, but Amsterdam. Is he playing so much?

"By the way, sir, here is a tourist guide. It is said that it was written by a demon hunter named Geralt." Zod handed a parchment to Richard.

When I opened it, as expected, it not only recorded what Zod had just said, but also dwarves. Isn't it that the recipes of these demon hunters are so extensive?

Such a good appetite? Even the dwarves tried it.

"Are you serious about the dwarves? Are you sure they don't have beards and wear armor?" Richard couldn't help but complain.

"Of course, many dwarves like to go, but I don't like it very much. In fact, there are dwarves too, but since a strong man went there, the dwarves refuse people over 1.5 meters tall." Zod spread his hands and said.

"Sir, I suggest you try the banshees and vampires, the taste is very special!" Zod urged.

No, I prefer to play Gwent with mermaids.

Night fell.

Although he refused verbally, after dark, Richard couldn't help but go to broaden his horizons and explore the depth of the water here.

Men should always maintain curiosity so that their hearts will not age.

Lyon at night is no worse than during the day. There are a lot of pedestrians on the streets, and there are many food stalls on the street. You can smell the aroma of food from a long distance away.

After walking through several streets, Richard found that this is the real nightlife area.

Zod was very familiar with this place. He took Richard around and soon arrived in front of a luxuriously decorated house. At the gate, there stood four beautiful girls in long tulle skirts. These girls were all very beautiful, either charming, or cold, or pure and lovely, or pitiful.

In short, men's psychology was firmly grasped.

What was even more surprising was that there was a special light behind them, and the tulle skirt was looming under the light, almost the same as not wearing it.

After the two entered, they saw that it was magnificent inside, and men came here in an endless stream. Obviously, this hot spring is very popular here.

"Your Excellency should have understood the constitution of vampires. Their body temperature is very low, and this is a hot spring, the most basic special service." Zod introduced to Richard.

The service charge of this hot spring is not high, and it can even be said to be low, but some blood needs to be paid when charging. Of course, vampires will not suck the guests dry. So there are always some people who come to enjoy it every once in a while.

Of course, in addition to blood sucking, if you can provide blood rich in magic, it can also be a substitute, and they are also welcome.

Richard found that in addition to mercenaries, the most guests here are actually demon hunters. He has already spotted several demon hunters. But think about it, as for those poor demon hunters, they don't have much money, and here the goods are good and cheap, and they can pay with blood, which is simply the best.

Zod quickly found two beautiful vampires to go out, and Richard was surrounded by several vampires. Their bodies instinctively felt that Richard's blood was good for them.

It's a pity that Richard didn't intend to suck their blood. As a divine creature, his blood contains divine power.

So Richard came here today just to see it, and didn't intend to do anything.

"Sir, how do you want us to serve you?" said a pure and lovely vampire.

"How about a game of Gwent?" Richard said and took out a deck of Gwent cards. The eyes of the vampires around him lit up, and then asked: "What about the bet?"

"You lose a piece of clothing, and if I lose, how about using this to pay off my debt?" Richard said as he took out a bottle of green dragon blood.

After seeing the bottle of blood, the vampire girls around him nodded in agreement.
