Broad World

While Henry and Imoen's boat was traveling through the archipelago, Robert also arrived at the outskirts of the ruins of Baldur's Gate. In order to ensure the speed, he specially used his power to mobilize an airship, otherwise it would take about two days to cover such a long distance even on a fast horse.

After a period of cleaning, most of the collapsed buildings in the city have been cleaned up, and countless workers are rebuilding. The whole city is like a huge construction site, and everyone looks very busy.

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the workers, Hawke implemented an advanced sub-contracting system for streets and buildings. The buildings and roads on each street are clearly marked with prices, and the more the construction team completes, the more wages they get. Of course, he learned this from Henry, and it was the first time he used it in this world, and the effect seemed to be very good.

It's no wonder that although the business in Faerun is still relatively developed, the utilization of human resources is still at a very backward level, and many places in it still adopt a system such as expropriation and payment of corvée. Every year, the lord conscripts some farmers to carry out construction during the slack season, such as repairing castles, maintaining roads, cleaning rivers, etc. It is completely unpaid labor, and you have to prepare your own food. If you are motivated, you will be out of trouble. But it’s different now. Workers can not only get three meals a day for free, but also get paid as much as they do. As long as they work hard, they will never suffer. Their enthusiasm was completely mobilized, even though it was going to be dark soon, they were still working hard, hoping to make a little more money.

Although it is a thriving scene, it is a pity. Robert wasn't even in the mood to take a second look. He quickly passed through the city gate. There were no obstacles along the way. It didn't take long to come to the front of the mage's tower. A sign that prohibits approaching has been inserted here, and two heavily armed soldiers are patrolling nearby.

Obviously, Hawke sensed that something was wrong here, and sent people to guard it. But his move was superfluous, Henry had sealed all the entrances with magic before leaving, and no one could get in unless he got the correct password. Of course, the caster can also try to crack it. However, the possibility of success is definitely not more than six digits after the decimal point.

As a time traveler, he did not set up puzzles or spells with weird pronunciation like most mages, but instead used numbers for encryption. That's right, it's a crazy digital password, and it's still ten digits. In this world without supercomputing poles, even if you sit here without moving for a few years, you can't solve it. A soldier standing guard spotted Robert and immediately walked over and warned solemnly: "Stranger, you'd better leave immediately, this is a restricted area."

"Of course I know, and I have to go inside to get some things." As he spoke, the thief leader showed his badge that symbolized his identity. A cloak and dagger combination pattern. Of course, this thing is just an official status. It claims to be an intelligence gathering organization, but its true identity is completely hidden.

The soldier changed his attitude after only one glance. He saluted very respectfully and said, "Sorry, my lord, we didn't know your identity just now."

"It's okay. But I need to perform a secret mission now, so you two can go back first. Also, tell Sir Hawke that it's best not to send people to garrison here, because it will easily attract unnecessary Trouble." After speaking, Robert ignored the two soldiers, came to the gate alone and said a series of numbers in a low voice.

A few seconds later, the originally dim crystal on the top of the tower suddenly shone brightly, and not long after, the door closed by the stones was reopened. Without any hesitation, he walked in directly. As soon as he crossed the threshold, there was a loud noise behind him, and the door was closed again.

Since no one has lived in it for a long time, the whole hall is covered with a thick layer of dust, which looks lifeless. Suddenly, a bat flew out of the darkness, swooped down, and flew past Robert's neck, almost biting his throat severely. Obviously, this is not an ordinary bat, otherwise it would never attack such an obvious vital part of the throat.

The bat that failed to attack quickly landed on the ground, and after only a second, it turned into a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young girl with pale skin. She watched the thief leader in front of her very vigilantly, and at the same time opened her mouth to emit a burst of ultrasonic waves that ordinary people could not hear.

"Relax, girl, I am the same as you, I am the master's servant." Robert said helplessly. He never thought that these vampire girls would be so aggressive, they would fight without even asking a word when they met.

"If you have anything to say, wait until the leader arrives." The girl remained unmoved, and at the same time quietly blocked the exit.

Seeing that the other party was so tightly guarded, Robert smiled helplessly, stood still and waited. He knew very well that it was useless to say anything now, the only way to negotiate was when the Lord came. Anyway, with his current strength, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Not long after the ultrasonic wave was sent out, a large number of bats flew out from the direction of the basement. After only a few seconds, the entire hall was densely packed with a large number of vampire girls. They exuded strong hostility all over their bodies. If they hadn't received the order to attack, they might have pounced on them long ago.

"Come out, I see you." Robert turned around and said to the shadow in the corner. In front of legendary thieves, the hiding skills of vampires are nothing at all. He didn't even have to look back, he could tell where someone was hiding just by the sound.

Trixie came out of the corner in surprise, and asked curiously, "How did you find out?"

"It's very simple. When you walked over just now, you accidentally touched the chair. Although you didn't make too much noise, it was enough for me. Once again, I have no malicious intentions, I just came to convey the master's order." Speaking of which, Robert took out the heart that Henry gave him before leaving.

"This is..." Trixie stared at the heart full of strength with rounded eyes. As a senior vampire, she immediately felt the power of blood contained in it, as long as she could swallow it. I will cross all the ranks in an instant. Evolve to become a vampire queen.

The corners of Robert's mouth turned up slightly. Put the heart directly on the ground: "You should be their leader, right? This heart was given to you by Master Henry. Make good use of it. In addition, one day later, gather under the boulder ten kilometers away from the city and bring everyone with you. Remember! This is the master's order!"

"Order? Is there any enemy that we need to deal with?" Trixie's eyes showed a hint of excitement. Ever since she saw the heart with huge negative energy, she believed what Robert said. After all, besides his own master, who would be willing to take out such a precious thing.

"This is a big operation, not only you, but many people will join in. The master will also do it himself. This will be a feast of killing, so prepare well." After finishing speaking, Robert's eyes shot terrifying The light, the whole person is like a sharp dagger, exuding a terrifying aura.

Trixie felt as if she had been stabbed by a sharp object, and the hairs all over her body stood on end. She looked at the thief leader in front of her in fear, and asked cautiously, "Did anyone anger the master?"

"That's right, a dark elf mage named Chathma kidnapped his son. I've never seen him so angry in ten years, it makes me shudder to think about it. That's all for today , absorb the power of this heart as soon as possible. I have other things to do." After speaking, Robert made a dodge and disappeared in place in an instant.

No one found out how he left. There is not even a single footprint on the ground, so the horror of the legendary thief is so evident. If this is an assassination, I am afraid that no vampire in the whole room can escape, even if they turn into gas, it will be useless.

Upon hearing the news that Henry's heir had been kidnapped, Trixie's anger burned instantly. She picked up the heart on the ground and yelled at the other vampire girls: "Did you hear that!!! Someone dared to kidnap the descendants of the ancestor! This is a naked provocation! What do you think should be done?!"

"Kill them all!"

"Suck up those miscellaneous blood!"

"Tear them to pieces!"

The vampire girls roared frantically, the hatred in Zi's heart burst out from their eyes. They have now regarded Henry as their creator, belief, and even God, how can they tolerate this kind of thing happening.

"That's right! These blasphemers must pay the price! The price of blood! I will perform the ceremony soon and be promoted to queen, and you will also be blessed with the power of blood!" Trixie raised the heart in her hand Lift it up so that every sister can feel the great energy emanating from it. She is showing all the vampires the power she is about to have, and declaring her control over the entire group.

Not knowing who started it, all the vampire girls knelt on one knee, and after half a minute, none of them stood still. They showed their respect and obedience to the queen with practical actions, especially the few direct descendants, whose faces showed fanaticism and admiration.

After accepting everyone's allegiance, Trixie quickly returned to the pool of blood in the basement and began to draw the power of Bodhi's heart. As soon as the black heart exuding negative energy was stained with blood, it immediately began to beat violently, as if it had come to life. It didn't take long for more than half of the blood in the pool to be sucked, and the beating became faster and faster and more violent.

Seeing this situation, she immediately shouted: "In the name of the ancestor! Devour!" After speaking, she showed her two fangs, and rushed forward to suck the blood in her heart desperately.

"Blessed by the night...blood leads...tonight you will be our king..." All the vampire girls repeated these words over and over again.

As Trixie inhaled more and more blood, her originally pale skin began to turn red, and bursts of blood-red mist radiated around, soon covering the entire basement. At the same time, the heart became weaker and weaker, and seemed to lose all vitality.

After a few more minutes, the heart finally stopped beating and exploded with a bang. And Trixie's heart suddenly started beating wildly, strong negative energy quickly spread throughout the body along the blood, a pair of bat wings on the back broke through the barrier of the skin and grew rapidly, and finally opened violently, letting out a piercing scream.

All the vampires present wept with joy. They knew that at this moment, the vampire queen was born...
