Chapter 355 Blood Soul Armor

Thank you very much for the 3,000 points reward from Qidian Dad [Wang Bu Liu Xing 1120]!

…

Bolan City, the capital of the Bolan Region, was once the core of the territory of Earl Duduo.

Being close to the Eivor Region where the capital of the Principality is located, is the luck and misfortune of Bolan City.

It is difficult to retain too many high-end talents here. Whether they are wealthy businessmen, mercenaries, poets or artists, they all sharpen their heads and want to drill into the Blue Castle.

Correspondingly, the scale of Bolan City is not very large, with a permanent population of about 200,000 and a height of only 5 meters.

Of course, that was a few months ago.

Now, when Raven led his army to the foot of Bolan City, he saw a fully armed fortress.

The city wall was temporarily raised by at least 3 meters, with shooting towers and crossbow towers. Not only were there soldiers patrolling on it, but there were even flying monsters hovering in the sky.

The moat under the city was widened temporarily. The earth piles on the river bank had not been cleared yet, and the periphery was filled with chevaux de frise and antlers, almost blocking the city gate.

"These guys really made a good tortoise shell!" Raven laughed and taunted: "Tell me, if we just go around and head straight to Blue Castle, do they have the courage to chase us?"

Hyena shook his head. He only knew how to fight and had always lacked a sense of humor.

Raven didn't have to hear something from him, so he ordered:

"Set up camp on the spot."

"Yes...ah!?" Hyena instinctively wanted to execute the order, but suddenly froze for a moment: "Sir, here? Isn't it bad?"

Bolan City is located on a vast plain, and now Raven is on the main road about 2 kilometers south of Bolan City.

Although it is close to the water source, there is no strategic location to defend, and the terrain is not advantageous.

The distance is really too close.

If a group of troops are gathered in the city, they can rush over in at most ten minutes.

Raven said, "Set up camp without worry. If the enemy dares to come out, it will save trouble."

"Besides, if they really have the guts, Fowler on Thorn Ridge would not have died in the battle."

When mentioning the Battle of Thorn Ridge, Hyena's face became serious, nodded, turned around and passed on Raven's order.

Raven was not aimless.

Since entering Eivor, he has encountered four battles. Among them, the Battle of Thorn Ridge did not cause the greatest loss to him, but it took the longest time.

It was also the battle that impressed Raven the most.

Viscount Fowler and 2,000 warriors used their lives to prove that the Eivor people have not lost their blood.

Sadly, that was the only blood left for the Eivor people.

In the city of Bolan, less than 100 miles away from Thorn Ridge, there are 130,000 troops stationed there, and it only takes three to five days to reach the battlefield.

However, they stared blankly for two months, preferring to retreat into their shells rather than send troops to help.

However, it must be said that this kind of treatment really makes Raven feel a little tricky.

The elite forces in his hands, including the troops led by Haide, are only about 15,000. Among them, Lancha's independent legion has been mutinous and can no longer be used as the real main force.

Even if the auxiliary soldiers are added, there are only more than 20,000 people in total.

And the soldiers defending the city are as many as 130,000 - this does not include the city residents who can be mobilized at any time.

Under the absolute disadvantage of military strength, it is not a good idea to force an attack on the city.

To arrange specific tactics, you need to find out more about the situation, which is not a matter of one day or one night.

Fortunately, Nancy solved the problem of horse thieves, allowing Raven to clear his worries and have plenty of time to dawdle here.

When the camp was set up, it was almost dark, and Raven ordered people to call the dark elf Ernada.

Because she was naked when she was captured, Ernada now changed into a common cloth in the army. Even so, her tall figure was still revealed from the clothes.

"Ha, you finally have time to see me." Without waiting for Raven to speak, she twisted her waist and came to sit in front of Raven, with her legs crossed:

"Tell me, how much money will you let me go?"

While speaking, Ernada was also looking at Raven.

Rare black hair and eyes, sharp face, but quite gentle eyes, although wearing a leather armor, but people can't associate him with the cold and sharp image in the legend.

But he is a very handsome guy, even the Ho Yaz who defeated her is inferior.

Even among the drow, it is considered a very rare and superior appearance, qualified to be her male lover.

Raven doesn't mind Ernada's attitude, not to mention that she is wearing the magic-sealing steel on her hand. Even if she doesn't have it, she can't escape Raven's palm.

So he just smiled and said:

"That's fine, but as the loser in the competition for family inheritance, are the Fudram clan really willing to spend money for you?"

After being exposed for her lies, Ernada straightened up a little awkwardly: "How do you know?"

It's because of Jon.

This magician is knowledgeable. After capturing Ernada, Raven also communicated with him and learned a lot about the dark elves from him.

The dark elves, or the drow clan, are a standard matriarchal society, where women are superior and men are inferior.

The way of family inheritance is also closer to primitive tribes.

The most powerful person inherits the family business, and the rest of the female descendants either return to the family and submit to the head of the family, or directly take their own wealth and open up new territories.

Enada obviously belongs to the latter.

Although she still has the name of Fudram, she is a real outsider to the family.

Raven would certainly not tell Ernada this.

Ernada felt a little uneasy. The more mysterious Raven acted, the more nervous she felt.

She subconsciously grabbed the collar with her hand, and this action accidentally arched Ernada's fullness:

"... Then why did you call me here?"

As a drow woman, she should not value her chastity too much, but Ernada is different. If she didn't want to choose a man she liked, she would not betray the family.

Although Raven is handsome, he is not her cup of tea.

At least not the main course.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your body. After all, I am still a clean person." Raven showed his right hand, and the pattern on his index finger turned into a ring again under the urging of the energy in his body.

Originally, Ernada was about to retort with dissatisfaction with the sarcasm implied in Raven's words, but when she saw this scene, she was stunned: "This... what's going on?"

Raven said: "This is what I want to ask you. It seems that you are very familiar with it."

"If I answer you, will you let me go?" Ernada wanted to fight for it.

"Do you think I look like a child?" Raven asked back.

"Okay..." Ernada sighed: "In fact, this thing in your hand, strictly speaking, is an elf creation."

"Elf creation?"

"Yes, the story started a long time ago..."

Anyway, Raven was not in a hurry, and Ernada's voice was quite pleasant, so Raven listened to the history of the separation of the elves and the drow.

It can be regarded as a lot of knowledge.

In short, the elves were stubborn and did not know how to adapt, so the drow separated from the elves under the protection of the current drow mother goddess, the Lady of Night, the Mother of Pure Black.

After that, it was a series of ancient grievances and hatreds.

Including but not limited to murder, betrayal, conspiracy and romance.

Ernada focused on the romance part.

When it comes to the exciting part, the details are all vivid and lifelike.

Onomatopoeia and psychological portrayal are all used.

If Ernada hadn't been serious, Raven would have thought that this drow was seducing him.

But the romance story has an end.

It was not until about 2,300 years ago that the drow officially separated from the elves and settled in the dark region.

There are 27 drow families in the dark region, and each family has several treasures like the "withered thorns" in Ernada's hand.

The drow called it "Yabotaku", which means "blood soul weapon".

This kind of blood soul weapon can only be activated and used by people with the same bloodline, and it will turn into a tattoo when not in use and attach to the user.

And it will also increase with the user's strength until it reaches the upper limit.

For example, the "withered thorns" in Ernada's hand can be increased to a maximum of level 5 power.

Hearing this, Raven nodded:

"Since you drow also have this kind of 'blood soul weapon', why do you insist that it is an elf creation?"

Enada sighed: "Because of time."

No mistakes in one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!

"After the complete separation from the elves, our drow ushered in a disaster 1,300 years ago, and almost lost 1/3 of the population in one fell swoop, and many inheritances and knowledge were also cut off."

"Among them, including the manufacturing method of blood soul weapons."

"Although your Griffith family has a long history, it doesn't have a history of 1,300 years, right?"

1,300 years...

Raven frowned slightly, and his eyes focused on the ring on his finger.

Don Quixote, this ancestor was active about 900 years ago, so this ring must have been made by the elves.

But the problem is that the scene I saw in my dream was Don Quixote leading his army to attack the Elf King's Court, so he was left with an indelible blood curse by the elves.

With such a deep blood feud, why did the elves help Don Quixote and forge this ring?

It has no catalytic effect on the blood curse itself, but will enhance the user's ability.

Raven even suspected that as generations of users continue to consume the power of the curse, sooner or later the curse will be worn away.

This doesn't seem like something he would do for his enemies.

Could it be that my dream was just a dream?

Or, in the foggy history, are there any secrets that I don't know?

All the mysteries are on the elves.

It seems that if you want to solve the blood curse, you have to go to the Elf Empire sooner or later.

Retracting his thoughts, the ring on Raven's hand disappeared and turned into a ·~·~· shape pattern again.

He looked at Ernada and said, "Enough of the small talk, let's talk about your problem next."

"I'll give you two choices."

"The first is to sign a soul contract with me and pledge allegiance to me; the second is..."

Before Raven finished speaking, Ernada said frankly, "Okay, no need to say, I choose the first one."

This surprised Raven a little: "Have you thought about it?"

"Anyway, the second option you gave is definitely not a good way out." Ernada shrugged and said:

"And don't forget, the life span of your human race is much worse than that of our drow. The time that is unbearable to you is just a fragment of our long life that is not worth remembering."

Since Ernada is willing to cooperate, the process of signing the contract is quite smooth.

When the contract is completed, Ernada untied the magic-sealing steel shackles on her hands, rubbed her wrists and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she went straight to Raven's camp bed, slid up in a big letter shape, and closed her eyes tightly:

"Come on!"

"Ah?"

"Stop pretending. You haven't let anyone touch me for the past few months. Now you have signed a contract with me. Who doesn't understand what you want to do?

Don't worry, I won't resist. Do it quickly and finish it quickly. I can go out for a walk and relax later."

Raven's mouth twitched. What Ernada said made him feel like a human teddy bear?

Am I that kind of person?

"Get up, I have something for you to do."

Ernada sat up from the bed and asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Is there any man in this world who can resist her charm?

"I have seen many women, do you think you are so special?" Raven's words almost made Ernada vomit blood, and then he walked to the entrance of the tent and whispered a few words.

Soon, the vampire William appeared in the tent.

The delicate face instantly attracted Ernada's attention, and at the same time, a trace of doubt arose in her heart.

Raven looked down on me, is it because he likes men?

It makes sense, otherwise he has been married for so long, how could he not even have a child.

"Okay, come here, let's get to know each other briefly." Raven said, "This is William, the blood clan viscount, and this is Zol Ernada."

"Next, I'm going to give you a task."

Taking out a coat of arms from the ring, Raven continued, "This coat of arms belongs to the 'Godwin' family in the Iron Birch District of the Principality of Eivor."

"Before, due to a conflict with the grain collection team under Marquis Faraday, the family was exterminated."

"And you, William, are the youngest son of the Godwin family who traveled far away and escaped the disaster, and you are also their only heir."

"As for Ernada, you ran into William after escaping from the battlefield and escorted him to Bolan City."

"Next, what you have to do is to sneak into Bolan City and help me collect all the information you can."

"The main purpose is to find out the attitudes of the main nobles in the city towards the upcoming war."

Hearing Raven's order, William and Ernada behaved differently.

William showed full intention and immediately took the coat of arms and pinned it on his chest.

He has been holding back for too long, and it would be great if he could go out and have some fun and attract some girls.

Ernada frowned: "You let a vampire and a drow infiltrate a group of nobles, and you want to get information? This is too ridiculous!"

"I'm fine, but what if William meets a clergyman?"

Raven shrugged: "That's your problem to deal with."

"In short, don't be anxious or nervous, just get the information back to me."

"As long as this deal is done, I won't interfere with what happens between you and Hojaz."

Ernada's dark cheeks flushed:

"Hojaz? Why do you mention him? There's nothing between him and me..."

Raven yawned: "Okay, let's go if there's no problem."

William nodded and saluted and stepped back. Seeing this, Ernada could only sigh helplessly.

But before he could leave, William walked back to Raven, with a flattering face:

"Um, Master..."

"What's the matter?"

"Activity funds... can you give me some?"

Pah.

A heavy purse fell steadily into William's palm.
