"Romana's little lion has a special status, and she has another reason for coming to the tower... In short, she will be the apprentice of the Destiny Gathering. However, there are only four Kongjing in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Qingzhi is busy with affairs, and Bai has never had an apprentice before you. The gatekeeper disappeared without a trace, and the Lion Ronald did not want her." Sauron gloated, "Larsen is a student of His Excellency the Saint, so he was assigned this unfortunate job. Although he tried his best to teach her, judging from the fact that this guy dared to sneak out to play alone before graduation, it seemed that the effect was not very high.」
Don't want her. Isn't Mr. Ronald Zachary a member of her race? Coupled with the rumors spread in the tower, the apprentice felt that he had a rough idea of what kind of person Roma Penelope was. There was only one question he didn't understand: "I know Miss Roma was involved in the Red Prophecy, but why can't she come to Binyaio?"
"Not only Roma, but also apprenticeships," Sauron explained, "with the exception of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Only with the permission of the instructor can the apprentice get the opportunity to leave the City of Floating Clouds. This is considered the internship part of the coursework. Bai didn’t tell...well, I guess he wouldn’t tell either.』
"What is he busy with now?"
"What else could there be?" He is the leader of the Sky Realm. Uriel, never underestimate people's stupidity. Mr. Larsen has a problem as the director of the astronomy room. A lot of people will get wind of it, thinking that they have smelled the secret of the Destiny Meeting, and they will often get confused. These people can't accomplish great things, but they are quite good at disrupting order and spreading rumors. When the ring is not directed at apprentices, their words are not polite at all. Maybe he should feel relieved about that. "Brumnot is not bad, mainly Hokolin and San Carlos. Especially San Carlos. Have I told you the origin of that ghost place? 』
"You probably said that." Uriel couldn't remember where he heard it.
San Carlos was an immigrant island established after the war. Astrologers had tried to rely on "locals" to jointly manage the city so that mortals could adapt to the new environment more quickly. But their efforts were soon ruined by the remaining decadent legacy in people's minds and the misbehavior of a large number of smuggled nobles. San Carlos has indeed become prosperous, but even more prosperous than the economy and commerce are gangs and private militia, and the fog that is full of deadly dust bacteria. Therefore it is also known as the "City of Fog". To this day, the casualty rate among local police officers remains high.
It suddenly occurred to him that he had actually heard this from Gunther and Miss Agatha Poirot. The former originally lived in San Carlos, and the latter...she told me that's where Gardner got his tobacco.
"There's trouble in San Carlos, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which handles such matters, doesn't have the manpower it needs - yes, we're always short of manpower. Wouldn’t those with combat roles such as Knight or Windrunner go to the School of Silence? It doesn't matter if we don't become the Oath Keepers. If you don't want to be an astrologer, what are you doing in Chloe? I know you think so too. Needless to say, there are indeed very few students in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I’m afraid the Saint will be responsible for this.』
"I really don't know." Uriel scratched his hair and carefully recalled how many students showed up on the day of the test. At that time, he only felt that there were so many people that he was embarrassed, but compared with astrology or other types of apprentices, the number of people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was indeed small.
"How could you not be clear?" We are all reduced to recruiting clergy to barely make up the numbers! 』
I couldn't throw it out or Joey wouldn't be able to contact me. "So it will take some time for Bai to escape?"
"This is his job, and the task of gathering is secondary," Sauron wrote. "San Carlos is located outside the City of Floating Clouds and belongs to the vassal state of Croita. All vassal diplomacy is managed by White Envoys. Blue Messenger Dean Rubin is not happy to sit in the office, but Bai has dozens of times more errands than him. Green Messenger has a bad relationship with Joey, but he is happy to brag about his master's achievements. "Let's talk about the arrival of the Moon Capital in the Ice Territory. If it had been anyone else from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I'm afraid that if it weren't for Winnie Watts, her name would have been changed to Camaria."
"Okay, no matter how flattering you are, you won't be able to see it." The apprentice stopped him from being courteous to Joey from afar.
"So you stabbed Lou Zi now, but no one will come to save your life." Instead of shutting up, the ring retaliated and attacked his self-confidence. "If I, Soren Gessen, weren't so generous, you wouldn't even be able to deal with two vampires who haven't changed jobs. But look what I got in exchange for your trust."
If I could predict the consequences of teasing it, I would think of another way in Holly Town. Uriel regretted it. He really overestimated his ability to tolerate trash talk. So the apprentice took out the dagger and rubbed it between his fingers, the magical mithril gleaming. The ring was silent for a moment, and then the clicking sound above his head continued like cracking porcelain.
When getting off the boat, Uriel had to pay the money despite the boatman's suspicious eyes. The ring pinched his finger and he felt like he was being tortured. "Don't cause trouble." He warned, "We have arrived at the Garden of Flowing Waters. Honest and generous Mr. Gessen, where should I go next?"
"Down along the river bank" Sauron still answered.
At noon, the clear ripples of the Jinque River slow down in the flowing water garden, and there is an endless stream of boats and fishing boats. Uriel saw such a bustling riverside scene for the first time. The moat of Four Leaf City was only patrolled by knights wearing armor and holding shields. The Black Moon River is comparable to the blue waves in front of you, but the songs are moving, but not as full of life as the shouts and whistles. This place has not yet entered the scope of the city, but you can already see the tower spiers standing behind the city wall, as well as the various flags of Xingluo. After getting off the simple dock built with wooden planks, the apprentice still has to walk through a cobblestone road. A snipe accompanied him, but at last it spread its moist wings and flew away, returning to the river to catch fish.
If time were not pressed, Uriel would really like to go to the city and have a look. The Garden of Flowing Water is located on the lower reaches of Jinque River, and its style and culture are far different from those of the South. The climate here also becomes mild, and the smell of ocean and salt can be faintly smelled in the wind. "There is a salt field near here," the ring told him, "but it is far away."
"Where's Screaming Keep?"
"Further," Sauron said, "you'd better walk faster, or go to the village and buy a horse." The vampires will not build castles in the human kingdom openly, and their bats hide in the Boot Valley. There are rumors that it was flooded during the Flame Moon』
"Swamped?" Uriel was surprised.
"It's a common thing. Otherwise, why would this place be called the Garden of Flowing Water? You have to be careful when walking, otherwise you might be swallowed up by the grass-covered swamp.』
Uriel was not too worried about this. If he did get stuck in the mud, he could freeze the mud. "I heard there had been flooding in the Kinque River, but I didn't expect it to be this severe."
"Not surprisingly. There are also fairies in the Golden Bird River. Usually they never show up, but the flaming moon will float on the river, thus attracting many adventurers and even slave-catching teams composed of mortals. People are too stupid to understand the nature of mystery. They may use mysterious items to harm elemental creatures...but the trapped fairies can still choose to turn into river water and give birth to new compatriots. For a while, the adventurers were too rampant, and the angry fairies caused huge waves, which destroyed all the ports downstream of the Golden Bird River.』
"Those people don't deserve to be called adventurers." The apprentice corrected. "What's the real reason? The goblin doesn't get angry every year."
"It's the Naga Sea Tribe" the ring explains, "Originally, the Garden of Flowing Waters and Knight's Bay were the territory of the fish-man Naga. They looked at the land just like we look at the sea. They were both longing for it and troubled, and they tried every means to conquer it in their own way. ...In the end they succeeded in turning this place into a swamp. Eastman took back the land after he 'defeated' Naga with women, but the landscape had been mysteriously transformed and could not be changed back. As for the floods, although the Jinque River in front of you is so gentle, you have never seen it look angry.」
"Honestly, I've seen goblins get angry - it was really scary," Uriel lamented.
When he arrived at the edge of the valley, the sky was almost pink. Buying the horses from the village took some time, but the main reason was the wet ground. His trouser legs were splattered with mud, and the horse's hooves were covered in a layer of mud crust. Seeing that the apprentice wanted to enter Boot Valley overnight, Ring stopped him: "Have you forgotten everything I told you?" Don’t deal with vampires at night unless necessary.』
"You haven't told me the characteristics of vampires yet."
"I will tell you that they are dangerous, lest you die in Screaming Keep and the master will cause trouble to me." The nobles in the Vampire Clan are at least high-level. Prince Trolbane Drablay of Requiem Castle enjoys an extraordinary status in the Oath Keepers Alliance. He is a mysterious creature in the Sky Realm.』
"Wouldn't the vampires in Boot Valley be more difficult to deal with than goblins and steel giants? This is the Eastman Kingdom after all, not Requiem Castle." Uriel was not just worried. He understood the situation better than the vampires, and was not even afraid of the special ones. Prince Rorban. "Because of the high degree of mystery, the blood prince's current power may be greatly reduced." And he didn't think that Screaming Castle would hide such a big shot.
"Having said that, the dangers are different," the ring wrote. "Death is the worst outcome, but that's not what you need to worry about." Have you ever heard of blood descendants?"
"What is that? Something to do with the vampires?"
"They are -" Sauron's handwriting suddenly broke, and Bai Shuang changed its shape. "keep quiet! There is movement near the valley』
Uriel also heard it. The rustling footsteps came from the withered trees and were approaching the entrance of the valley. He added a hidden magic to himself - the Scroll of Useless Oath. The horse's saddle was pulled off, it received a slap on the butt, turned around to look, and then disappeared at the edge of the swamp. Uriel threw the saddle into the mud and buried it while thinking about how he could leave the Boot Valley.
"What are you talking about?" Sauron said in a strange tone, "Haven't you never heard of the Bloodborn?" Now I have a chance to meet them』
A large group of people emerged from the trees, with grass blades on their heads and green covers, like moving pine trees. Under their camouflage were iron tools and stone sticks, as well as leather armor parts that could not cover their bodies. The leader held a spear in his hand, and his cloak hood hung crookedly on his ears, revealing a young face full of anger and gloom. His skin was as white as bone, and his red pupils were filled with fire. Two tall vampires followed him, one wearing a silver helmet and the other holding a dagger. The reason Uriel noticed him was because this guy had the most complete armor.
These people seemed to want to attack the valley. "Is the Vampire a branch of the Vampire Clan?" the apprentice asked quietly.
"No. As long as the Vampire curses your soul with blood, you will become a Vampire, immortal from now on, and throw yourself into the embrace of the night.』
"Then how can this be a curse?"
"Because immortality comes with a price. Vampires are half-undead, so they have a long lifespan." Moreover, vampires are no better than real vampires. They exist to serve vampires and need to drink the blood given by their masters every day. If you disobey, the vampire who loses the blood of the vampire will turn into a stone statue.』
He somewhat understood where the danger in Sauron's words came from. No wonder. A curse is a curse, Uriel thought. "Now they plan to take revenge?" Or die. Even if Uriel had never seen a war, he knew that even the patrolling knights in the city might not be able to defeat the Bloodborn's equipment and scale.
"Do not be silly. It is inevitable that vampires cannot defeat the vampires who created them. The village where the blood descendants of Binya Aio gathered after fleeing would rather die, but it is about to disappear. After joining the Oath Keepers Alliance, the vampires announced that they would no longer convert vampires, and then began to hunt these poor people. They didn’t have to do this.』
Uriel wanted to say something, but then the vampires started to move forward. "They are going to the castle." Now the ring couldn't deny it. The apprentice couldn't help but feel sad.
"They are going to die." Sauron made the same judgment. "Even if that Baron Posier is not in the castle, they have no chance of winning."
Uriel reminded it: "The Red Prophecy will affect blood magic, and the vampires will definitely be weakened even more."
"Only the Sky Realm will be affected, and the Ring Level is not even qualified to be affected. The Baron is unlikely to cross the Path of Death. Most of the people hidden in the castle are little bats of the Ring." The ring writes, "The vampires are not worried about being cursed, they are already dying." It guides the apprentice to discover two Gray stone skin under personal cloak. "These people come here to fight for revenge."
Uriel made it clear: "...They want to lighten the burden for other people by killing vampires." This is a tragic act, and regardless of the ending, the sacrifice is worthy of respect. "Has no one done anything for them?"
"The Vampires are half-undead, and the Vampires are almost undead creatures. Do you think Knox was friendly towards Gavash? If you pity them, you might as well end the rest of these people's miserable lives."
The vampire who escaped did not want to die. Uriel knew this very well. People who want to die will not gather into a village, let alone choose to die for their compatriots who still have time. Although Sauron said that they would rather die for freedom, the apprentices can still feel the desire for life from their souls.
"You're right." The team of vampires was walking towards him, and the entrance to the valley was very close at hand. Uriel ducked out from behind the alder tree where he was hiding. "So I won't watch them die at the hands of vampires." Those guys don't deserve to take their lives.
