Chapter 483 Home

The Rolling District is a very standard outer city area, and of all the ten outer city districts in Baldur's Gate, the main part of almost all of them is built along the Bayside Road that winds around the foot of Dusthawk Mountain.

The outer perimeter of the hill Dusthawk Mountain has therefore become a very important transportation hub, providing convenience for merchants coming and going from all over the world.

At the same time, this hill surrounded by cliffs is also the last known refuge for the Dusthawks of the Jonsa River, which is why this mountain is called Dusthawk Mountain.

Dusthawks were once a very common bird of prey, but in the last century, due to regional unrest and the growing slums outside Baldur's Gate, their habitat area has been drastically reduced and their population has dropped sharply.

When the dukes of Baldur's Gate realized that the dust eagles were on the verge of extinction, they immediately drafted a bill declaring that the hill would become a private territory from now on, in order to protect the cliff nests of the dust eagles and their hunting grounds from being disturbed.

The Dukes may have had good intentions, because after the decree was issued for a period of time, the number of Dust Eagles in the Jonsa River did increase, but it was undoubtedly very stupid to directly block the mountain and restrict people's pace to the foot of the mountain and the halfway point of the mountain.

This is equivalent to actively giving up the right to rule the territory. In this way, unsurprisingly, in a corner that people can't see, a huge vampire family quietly settled here.

This vampire family is the Zaer family. The Zaer family has settled in Baldur's Gate for hundreds of years. At the beginning, when the family's power was still weak, they strictly followed and took advantage of the legal loopholes in Baldur's Gate to build their nests under the shadow of the mountain, hiding themselves in the legal loopholes of Baldur's Gate.

Silently, bit by bit, they devoured those ordinary people who wanted to escape the bad environment of the outer city and settle in the mountains, or poachers who were eager to hunt dust eagles and exchange this rare bird of prey for money.

Occasionally, they would take the initiative to go down the mountain and capture some mud-legged people from the outer city to use as food or slaves. Real vampires have the ability to hypnotize ordinary people, and it is very easy for them to take some people away quietly.

Such behavior would not cause them any trouble, because they would capture people from the outer city. After all, the residents of these outer city blocks were not strictly speaking citizens of Baldur's Gate. No one in the government would speak for them, and they could not benefit from the city's security forces.

The Flame Fist rarely patrolled outside the city. Even if it appeared, it was usually to arrest those outer city residents who committed crimes within the city walls. This further promoted the development of the Zar family. With sufficient blood supply, the sprouts of darkness soon began to expand wildly.

Until the family's power developed into a towering tree, the Zar family also became rich and stylish. They fostered agents in the city and deliberately controlled the number of dust eagles on the mountain peaks to smuggle this expensive beast in exchange for a lot of money.

Wealth brings power. With the advantage of vampires and their unique charisma, the Zare family soon became famous in the underground world of Baldur's Gate, but they are still mysterious... No one knows their true identity.

Vampires are very cunning creatures. They always use their powerful strength to recruit other famous dark creatures and use them as shields.

To this day, there are still legends in the Outer City that the werewolves have been hiding in the sea caves under Dust Eagle Mountain, pretending to be ordinary smugglers or ordinary animals, plotting a new round of conspiracy and massacre in the city.

Whenever a horrific murder case arouses the imagination of the people of Baldur's Gate, there will always be someone who will quickly claim that it must have been done by a werewolf in Dust Eagle Mountain.

When the time developed to nearly a hundred years, the Zare family also lost most of its blood in a series of changes. Now the Zare family has only one owner, the only head of the family, and that person is Kazador Zare.

A few hours ago

"This harvest is great, the master will be happy! He will definitely give us a reward!"

The speaker was a brown werewolf carrying a child on one hand and running forward quickly on three legs. Beside this werewolf, there were more than a dozen werewolf companions similar to him.

Each werewolf carried a child and ran forward at the same speed. All the werewolves were very excited because their harvest this time was really huge.

Now that the master's appetite has increased greatly, they can bring such a harvest, and the master will be very satisfied. Maybe they can win the master's favor, so that in the future dinner, maybe a few more human fingers can be added.

"Shut up! You disgusting watchdogs! I'm going back to "home" soon. I don't want to hear you idiots talking nonsense in front of the master! If you anger the master... Anyway, all of you shut up!"

A young man who has been leading in the front, tall and strong, with well-groomed brown curly hair on his head, suddenly turned his head and roared at the werewolves behind him.

This young man seemed to be of very high status. At least the werewolves did not dare to go against his wishes and all kept their mouths shut. Seeing this, the man said no more and immediately turned around and ran forward at the same speed.

It is worth mentioning that although he just scolded the werewolves, he was like them, like a hard laborer, carrying an unconscious child on his shoulders, running quickly towards the direction of "home". Next to the brown-haired man, there was a taciturn elf with white curly hair. He seemed to be accustomed to this scene, and the whole person looked very dull and numb.

The group quickly advanced in the wild forest in the mountains for about five minutes, and finally rushed into the depths of the dark woods before the first light of day, and then rushed into a real illusion under the shadow of the inner valley.

In that moment, the whole world seemed to become more depressing. It was almost daytime, but this place was still as dark as ink. Only some scattered torches were inserted on both sides of the road, illuminating the tall and dark castle in front.

The two leading vampire derivatives gradually stopped, and the werewolves began to run slower.

They have arrived at "home".
