An Ordinary Fantasy Adventure in the Continent of Faerun

Chapter 496 Cleaning up the Battlefield

"..."

Looking at the staff presented by Asdalen in front of him, Nohir was silent for a while, but then quickly reached out to take it. Asdalen and all the spawns felt relieved when they saw this. Tone, this should mean that they have been accepted, right? You shouldn’t be sent to jail after that, right?

Asdalen and the others thought so, but to their surprise, Nohir just stood there and looked at it for a moment after taking the scepter, and then immediately turned to them and spoke.

"No, I don't accept your so-called loyalty. In my opinion, loyalty bought with fear and death is worthless. Even if you think about it with the soles of your feet, you know this. To put it bluntly, you Is it true that you will be loyal to someone wholeheartedly?”

"Your behavior, at best, is loyalty, and at worst, it's opportunism. Anyway, for you, as long as I really use this scepter to control you, then you will work under me and under Cazador. Isn’t there any difference at all?”

"This scepter can indeed give me the ability to control your life and death like Kazador, but the loyalty gained in this way is probably not worth even a gold coin."

"Needless to say, that would be a slave dominated by violence and fear, but I have no intention of becoming a slave. Do you think I would be happy to see a few vampire spawns standing around me every morning when I wake up? ? Even if you recruit servants to manage the manor, you guys should be the lowest priority, right? "

Nohill's words instantly made their hearts tremble. Yes, they are vampire spawns. Their identities are destined to make it impossible for them to integrate into human society again, because they are just wolves that have blended into the sheep. If it is true, have obtained legal status in human society, then don’t the shepherds guarding the sheepfold have to guard against them every day?

That would be too tiring and too stupid. If you really do this, then instead of letting them go, why not just kill them all on the spot... Kill them all? ! Yes, wouldn’t it be much easier this way? If I put myself in the position of a shepherd, I would definitely choose to do this, but I am not a shepherd...

It's over...it's all over now! I originally thought that I could find such a strong backer, bid farewell to the past and start a new life, but it turned out that people looked down on me at all. According to this situation, whether I could survive or not was another question, so I shouldn't be playing this clever trick.

Asdalen's little mind was spinning rapidly. Now his cleverness was misled by his cleverness. Instead, he had driven himself to a dead end. Now he had to find a way to persuade Nohir and try his best to make him give up this once and for all solution. That’s it!

However, the thoughts in Asdailun's mind were like a mess, and he couldn't think of an explanation. Nohir wanted to see the embarrassment of many spawns, so he didn't say much after seeing this, and just calmed down his rage silently. He returned to his original posture, turned around and left while waving to them to follow.

Nohir held the half-broken Kazador in one hand and walked straight towards the castle kitchen while carrying the [Sorrow] magic weapon that could control the life and death of all spawns.

The frightened spawn on the side didn't dare to do anything extra. They just closed their mouths silently and followed quietly.

Nohill didn't say much to stimulate them at this time. He also expected them to lead other spawns into the dark realm.

Although bringing them into the underground world can only be regarded as a last resort, I can make them stay underground safely for a while. It is not impossible for Nohir to find a way to transform the derivatives back into humans.

It is not impossible to know this, because the spawn is just a second-class vampire race, not a real vampire. Although they do have some of the abilities of vampires and all the shortcomings of vampires, compared to being able to list a separate racial subject For vampires, the spawns still have half of their blood in their bodies, or the genes still belong to their original race.

Therefore, at best, vampire spawns can only be regarded as a kind of half-vampire race. This difference in bloodline allows them to still have the possibility of reversal, and this possibility is not small.

Nohill has said before that the origin of the vampire race comes from hell. According to legend, the world's first vampire, Strader von Zarovich, made a deal with the devil. The dark power from hell transformed him into a vampire in the broad sense of the world.

The reason why Nohir judged that the vampire spawn could revert back to its original race was precisely because his hell helper had an archmage-level knowledge reserve comparable to Miss Mizola.

As early as the previous wanton killing of Kazador, Mizola who came with him had been silently cleaning up the remaining threats in this castle. After his work was completed, Nohir passed The spiritual connection between each other asked her if she had any solution to these problems?

What Nohill didn't expect was that Mizola actually came up with a seemingly feasible solution.

That is to rely on the power of hell again to find the magic notes when the devil transformed the vampire race. Relying on the knowledge in it, reversely deducing the appropriate spells, and supplemented by some appropriate materials, it is possible to turn these unlucky people into evil spirits. The egg turns back into a normal person.

Spells, this thing Noshier can't get for the time being, hell still has very strict control over the circulation of knowledge, because for the devil, knowledge is power, and intelligence is bait.

It can even be said that every successful devil has knowledge that others can't even think of, and intelligence that can shock the world in their minds. In this environment, finding the original design manuscript of the vampire is a task that is impossible to complete in a short time even for Noshier now.

All he can do is to urge the horned demon Ledros in hell to mobilize his men to help collect, but as for how long it will take and how much it will cost to find the information he wants, that's hard to say.

However, although there is no preparation for spells, Mizora has made some advance speculations based on past experience in terms of materials, so that Noshier can prepare more in advance.

However, most of the materials needed can be collected by Noshier through money or connections, so he doesn't have to worry about most of them, because there is only one material that really needs to be prepared, that is, the blood of the vampire who transformed them into vampire derivatives.

That is, Kazador's blood.

Because Kazador is the source of this group of derivatives, Mizora must rely on his blood to research the corresponding spells. Although Kazador is now half-crippled and can't squeeze out much blood, there is still a lot of blood left on the battlefield where Noshier and Kazador fought before.

That blood can still support the research. While Noshier led the vampire derivatives to find those children, Mizora was also there to collect the blood left on the ground.

In addition to blood, Kazador himself also plays a very important role. According to Mizora, even if he can find a way to change the derivative body back in the future, he must strictly follow the contract of hell. According to the principles of "fairness and justice" and "equivalent exchange" in hell, Kazador is likely to be used as a key ritual prop, undertake sacrifice, or other purposes.

This is also the key reason why Noshier saved Kazador's life. In addition to being used as a key prop in the future, showing Kazador's current miserable state to the other 7,000 derivative bodies can also calm their anger to a certain extent. The power that Noshier showed to easily defeat Kazador can also restore their sanity to the greatest extent.

In general, a living Kazador is far more useful than a dead one. Although there is a little risk in letting this monster live, Noshiel can afford this risk. Moreover, this guy is now seriously injured by him. It is already difficult for him to survive. After that, a special restraint device will be customized. Under Noshiel's watch, he will not be able to turn the world upside down even if he dies.

Noshiel thought about his future plans while breaking into the deeper part of the castle. The group did not encounter any obstacles along the way. They only encountered various undead skeletons or corpses of ghouls.

Needless to say, these were naturally done by Mizora. As early as when he and Kazador just started fighting, Mizora had been lurking in the dark waiting for an opportunity to help. When he completely suppressed Kazador at a very fast speed, Mizora quietly left the battlefield and began to clean up the remaining dangerous factors in the castle.

In fact, even the vampire spawns didn't know that the children they kidnapped last night had already been rescued, and now they were estimated to have returned to the Gur camp. After all, in terms of fast and long-distance displacement, the teleportation technology mastered by the caster is truly simple and efficient.

Noshier led the spawns through the banquet hall and entered the food storage room next to the banquet hall, and then directly broke the hidden door covering the food storage room and saw the hidden lift machine.

"That's it... Don't stand there stupidly, follow me."

Noshier waved to everyone, and then took the lead to stand on the plane of the elevator. The spawns who were shocked by these hidden buildings immediately came to their senses and followed Noshier to stand up.

Noshier on the lift platform was like a solemn statue, because he knew what kind of hell he would see next. The spawns remained silent. As the operating lever was gently pulled down, the lift platform immediately began to operate, and everyone also experienced a slow descent of more than ten minutes in the dark and deep lift shaft.

During the descent, within the first five minutes, there was nothing but darkness and silence in the elevator shaft. However, as they went deeper and deeper, some faint wails and screams began to be heard in the darkness.

The deeper they went, the clearer the sound became. After hearing these wails, the faces of all the derivatives around Noshier changed drastically. They seemed to realize something, but they were not sure of that guess.

When they reached the platform at the bottom, the destination of their trip, the actual wails full of pain, despair and weakness directly shattered the last bit of luck in their hearts.

The group of people seemed to be in a trance, dragging their heavy steps, and even walked down from the elevator platform before Noshir, looking at the Netherfire lanterns hanging on the side, and the countless, densely packed giant iron cages illuminated by the long green fire hanging on all sides of the platform.

"I'm so hungry..."

"Why can't I die... Let me be free... Let me be free..."

"How long has it been... How long has it been..."

"..."

Petras' legs softened and he knelt down directly, not saying a word for a long time.

"No..."

Daliriya covered her mouth with both hands, and tears fell from her eyes.

"How is this possible!"

Leon shouted in disbelief, trying to deny everything that happened in front of him with words, but only he knew how ridiculous and powerless his rebuttal was.

"Those people... Could those people be..."

Aurelia couldn't believe her eyes.

"No...no...no! Cazador! Liar! This is not true! Why! Why do you do this?!"

Violet could hardly control her temper. She angrily cursed Cazador's cruelty. Compared with this torture, even death seemed so merciful.

"This torture..."

Yusen looked around tiredly, and then lowered his head even more tiredly.

Noshier stood silently behind them, watching their every move silently, watching them repent, sad, deny, shocked, angry, or heartbroken.

Noshier just observed silently, and then moved his eyes to the last derivative, that is Asdaelen. He walked silently on this bridge that started from the platform and continued to extend to the distance, constantly looking at the hanging iron cages.

But whenever he occasionally saw a familiar face, he would immediately turn his head and stop looking at him. Was it shame? Guilt? No, Noshier felt that this was just an escape.

When these bloody sins suddenly appeared and crashed into him head-on without a single one left, it was perfectly normal for Astelan to choose to escape, but such behavior could only be called cowardly, until...

"...Sebastian."
