Chapter 501 Preparations in the Dark Area

Because of these unexpected situations, Noshier had to postpone the release of them again. He issued a death order to Asdelon and others. Unless those derivatives who were in a deeper level of blood thirst could restrain their greed, they would never let them go without authorization.

Asdelon and others were not dissatisfied, because as vampire derivatives, they knew clearly that it was normal for those derivatives to be stimulated to have a deeper level of blood thirst.

This situation usually only happens when vampire derivatives suck blood for the first time. For vampires, the process of sucking blood is an incomparable wonderful experience. Blood is not only their food, but also a stimulant and a drug. If the willpower of the derivative is not strong enough, then after his first blood sucking, he will often have symptoms similar to withdrawal reactions. The solution is also very simple, that is, ignore them and starve them for a few more meals until they regain their sanity.

For untrained derivatives, this forced fasting process may last for several months. The derivatives must be able to endure the impact of hunger and thirst during these months, so that they can control their appetite after the fasting ends. The whole process seems very troublesome.

However, that is the standard for ordinary derivatives. After a hundred years of imprisonment and torture, most of the derivatives here have already met that condition. Asdalen believes that their loss of control will only be temporary and they will soon return to normal, and the facts are indeed as they expected.

On the second day after they went crazy, the derivatives gradually regained their sanity. On the fifth day of this period, almost all the derivatives were completely back to normal.

Because these derivatives have already had a good meal, thanks to their undead nature, vampires only need a full meal to last for a full half month without food and drink, and during this time, except for the vague hunger and thirst, there will be no discomfort at all.

Until then, these derivatives finally barely met the indicators given by Noshir. Noshir also kept his promise and opened all the magic cages one after another through the power of the staff, allowing these unlucky people led by Asdalen who had not seen the light of day for many years to slowly move forward along the safe route that Noshir had opened up alone during this period of time to the Underdark.

During the time when waiting for those suddenly crazy derivatives to calm down, Noshir had not been idle. He made the most of his time and went ahead alone to explore the direction of the Underdark, hoping to find a place for these derivatives to settle down during this period.

This is difficult... In fact, it should be said that it is very difficult.

The Underdark has a unique ecological environment underground. The aborigines living underground usually have a large source of food supply from various mushrooms and mosses produced in the Underdark.

They dried, baked, and cooked these materials into soup, using them as the most basic food. These ordinary, unremarkable mushrooms feed most of the races in the Underdark.

Among them are the three main races of drow, gray dwarves, and underground gnomes. In the underground world where materials are scarce, mushrooms and mosses are the best materials they can find. Unfortunately, these things can feed other races, but they cannot feed nearly 7,000 hungry vampire spawns, who must survive on blood.

The Underdark is a barbaric land that is not fully civilized. There is a shortage of materials, few people, and dangerous monsters everywhere. There is almost no place that can meet the survival needs of these nearly 7,000 spawns.

He couldn't find enough wild animal communities to serve as a food source for the vampires. The Underdark was rich in monsters and dangers, but not livestock. In this ghost place, you might encounter a series of monsters such as minotaurs, claw monsters, shark lizards, petrified lizards, beholders, and even Medusa if you take two steps at random. These things would only bring danger to them, but it would be almost impossible to fill the stomachs of the derivatives, because even if they were defeated at a great cost, the blood they could produce was too little.

It was almost impossible to find a sufficient source of blood in such a ghost place to satisfy such a large number of vampires, but Noshier still found two ways to solve the food problem of the vampires.

One is slaves. As Noshier said before, the Underdark is a barbaric land that has not been fully civilized. In this place, you can see slave-hunting teams from other races everywhere, among which the gray dwarves and drow elves are the most.

The popularity of the drow elves' slave-holding tradition is comparable to the danger of this area. Every gathering place of drow elves has a large number of slave trades that can be called endless.

In those so-called big cities, such as Menzoberranzan, the lives of slaves are so short that they make people feel cruel. The bodies of the dead slaves can often pile up into a small mountain within a month.

If they can be handled properly, the bodies of these slaves can definitely solve the food problem of vampires to the greatest extent, but this is a business that Noshier will never consider.

The second is the underground los beast. As the most widely used camel beast in the dark region, almost every large gathering point of each race will actively raise a group of useful underground los beasts to transport goods or satisfy the appetite of the upper rulers.

Noshil's solution is to find such a city in the Dark Hell, and then, with the existing conditions, develop a closer cooperative relationship with the rulers of the city, so that the vampire spawn can rely on a city in the Dark Region and exchange for food that can feed themselves through labor or other methods.

In fact, Noshil has found a very appropriate partner in this regard.

The name of that place is Blingden Stone City, a city built by underground gnomes. Compared with the two completely untrustworthy races, the drow elves and the gray dwarves, the reputation of the underground gnomes is not very good, but in the Dark Region, a place full of monsters and demons, they are conscientious enough.

Of course, conscience alone is not enough. The most important thing is that there must be the possibility of mutual cooperation between the two. In Noshil's eyes, Blingden Stone City is a key place where he can conclude a sufficiently mutually beneficial treaty with the vampire spawn.
