I Became a Progenitor Vampire

Bangdang~ Bangdang~

When Li De decided to build a super heavy warrior, the sound of forging weapons became the main theme in the sky above the City of Dawn.

Residents have been living with the sound of iron forging these days.

There are currently a total of 78 blacksmiths in Dawn City, most of whom are low-level blacksmiths who forge farm tools for farmers, and only a dozen are mid-level blacksmiths who can independently forge weapons.

The only senior blacksmith is Nugget, who has half the blood of a dwarf. There is no grandmaster blacksmith above the senior blacksmith. The only higher-level master blacksmith is Valen Wildhammer, a dwarf who has just arrived in the City of Dawn.

The levels of blacksmiths are divided into - low level, intermediate level, advanced level, grand master level, master level and legendary level.

Blacksmith is a life profession and does not conflict with the combat profession. Anyone who wants to change professions can do so.

But if you want to become a grandmaster or even a master, you need enough talent. To reach a higher level in these life professions that are easy to get started, you even need to put in more effort than the combat profession.

Valen was initially reluctant to forge armor for him, especially after looking at the huge bodies of Corso and Castro.

Who knows how long it will take for him to forge it.

Li De naturally could not let go of this master-level labor force. He used a promise not to harm the young dwarf prince Anakin in exchange for his promise to forge Corso and Castro armor in the resentful eyes of the dwarves.

Of course, if you only rely on Valen to forge the armor of these two big men, even if the dwarf's blacksmith level has reached the master level, it may not be able to be completed in half a year.

Li De didn't have the time to wait, and he had no intention of continuing to torture this stubborn dwarf. With a wave of his hand, the blacksmith resources of the entire City of Dawn were at his disposal.

He only wanted Valen to forge the strongest armor in the shortest time.

The mithril veins may be discovered by him at any time, and there are tens of thousands of orcs entrenched there.

He needs to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of his hands, and Corso and Castro are undoubtedly the best choices at this stage. When dealing with ground troops, these big guys have huge advantages that other creatures cannot match.

And to improve efficiency in the future, Li De finally promised that as long as the armor forged by Valen satisfied him, he could choose a residence in the City of Dawn.

And he is no longer forced to complete fixed tasks every day, and he can even be rewarded with half a barrel of fine wine every week.

For more than half a month, Valen, who had spent at least 16 hours every day forging weapons in the blacksmith shop to get food, had a rare dislike of blacksmithing.

When he heard Li De's exchange terms, his enthusiasm immediately surged, especially the reward of half a barrel of wine every week made him cheer for joy.

Dwarves have never been separated from wine, and they love wine as much as crafting weapons and mining.

No dwarf can resist a good drink, no.

Li De smiled and said nothing. Human nature is always like this. His previous oppression of Valen was absolutely ruthless, and even made the dwarf feel suffocated.

Now it's time to take a step back and reduce Varun's 16-day working hours to 12 hours, provide him with enough food, and even get one day off per week.

Compared with the previous "tolerant and generous" policy, Wallen immediately felt relaxed, and now the visible resistance to him has been greatly reduced.

While Varun was relaxing, he didn't seem to realize that he was still working for him as before, but the only difference in this job was that it was a little more comfortable than before.

This is the essence of the superior driving the inferior.

In other words, Valen could only fall into his routine after he noticed it, because the initiative was always only in the hands of the superiors, and the inferiors could only be forced to accept it.

. . . . . .

"Lord Cachar, this alchemy formula was obtained from the night elves when I was adventuring in the underground world in my early years.

Night elves are the same race of elves. They like to wear light armor to fight, but although their armor is light and thin, it can block heavy crossbow attacks, and their defense is very strong.

The alchemy formula I have is the formula they used to create metals. I named this type of metal that only appears on night elves Shadow Metal."

Valen immediately started his forging business after taking over the blacksmith shop, but got stuck on what type of steel to use for forging the armor.

The Nuggets have previously developed reinforced steel that is three times harder than ordinary steel. It is currently the most advanced metal in Dawn City.

Originally, Li De planned to use this new type of reinforced steel as the armor of Corso and Castro.

But Valen had objections to this, because although the reinforced steel was strong enough in defense, it was too heavy.

The density of reinforced steel is fully twice that of ordinary steel, and the weight of armor forged according to Corso's size is likely to exceed 10 tons.

Even Corso, a guy with the blood of ancient giants, would become sluggish when wearing it.

Valen firmly disagreed with this. For a dwarf who strives for excellence, this is definitely an insult to his name as a blacksmith master. For this reason, he took out a precious alchemy formula.

"Night Elf??" Li De stood next to the furnace where weapons were forged, and looked at Warren holding a heavy hammer in surprise in the scene where sparks burst out from time to time.

Night elves are close relatives of elves. In ancient times, when elves still ruled the main plane of glory, night elves lived in the ancient deep forests like elves.

After the rise of the Alchemical Age and the loneliness of the elves, the night elves and the elves parted ways and entered the underground world to survive.

Unlike the fate of the elves, the night elves have undergone tremendous changes over the course of tens of millions of years.

Living underground, they were affected by the dark creatures in the underground world, and gradually lost the expertise they once had in surviving on the surface, and completely became dark beings.

They are evil and cunning, and like to kill.

However, after becoming dark beings, these upper-class races with elven blood flowing in their bodies did not become weaker. Instead, they gained a great reputation in the underground world.

That's why Li De was so surprised by Valen's words. It was not easy to obtain such a precious alchemy formula from a powerful dark elf.

"Yes, Lord Cachar, the night elves once inherited precious knowledge from the elves. They are slender and must wear light armor in order to maintain flexibility in battle.

But the armor is weak and cannot provide sufficient defense.

Under this circumstance, the powerful night elves spent countless efforts to develop this light and extremely strong metal.

The defensive power of shadow metal is at least twice as hard as the reinforced steel developed by the Nuggets, but it is only half the weight of ordinary steel in the same volume. "

Li De's eyes immediately lit up after hearing this.

If what Varun said is true, what does it mean?

This means that Corso and Castro can wear thicker armor, gain stronger defense, and truly become steel behemoths.

"And that's nothing. I also know an alchemical formation. As long as it is drawn with mithril inside the armor, it will give the armor super high magic resistance." When it comes to making armor, Valen is obviously very excited and quite proud. Show off in front of Li De.

"At that time, with the unique solid metal of the night elves, even if it is hit in the front by a human dragon-hunting crossbow, it will not be injured. The Cyclops wearing thick armor will become an invincible existence!"

Li De's heart was pounding and he asked quickly.

“Then how do you make this metal?”

Hearing Li De's question, a strange light flashed in Warren's eyes.

"Lord Cachar, this is the treasure I got in the underground world at the cost of my life..."

Li De waved his hand and said straightforwardly.

"what do you need?"

Now that the other party had thrown out this bait, he didn't believe that Valen really wanted nothing.

Next to the sparkling fire, the scorching air waves made the surrounding temperature boiling. The red firelight shone on the dwarf's side face covered with black beard, and his black eyes stared closely at Li De.

"Lord Cachar, if one day you discover the dwarf tribe, I hope you can let my people go."

oh?

Li De raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that Valen would ask him to release a dwarf, or to release them after a certain period of time, but he did not expect that the dwarf forging master would say such a thing.

"Your Excellency Warren, why do you think I can discover the dwarf tribe?" Li De's eyes were a little playful, "I think you should have confidence in the dwarf tribe."

In fact, Li De far underestimated his intimidating power in Warren's heart.

The president of the Dark Covenant, known as Ilomian, is even very likely to be an extraordinary and terrifying existence.

And he is also the leader of the vampire clan, ruling a huge city, and with his superb skills, he can make the vampires and humans, who were originally hostile or even deadly enemies, coexist peacefully.

All things considered, Li De's status in Warren's heart has become very high.

The opponent is not only unfathomably powerful, but also smart and powerful.

Even though he had confidence in the dwarf tribe, facing such a powerful dark boss, Valen still felt a little guilty.

This vampire was so powerful that he could destroy the dwarves with just the strength of his men. He had to leave a way for the dwarf tribe.

Although the dwarf tribe has not been discovered yet, Warren has an inexplicable feeling that discovering the dwarf tribe does not seem to be an impossible task for these vampires.

He worked so hard and refused to cooperate so that the tribe could send a second wave of rescue teams after they lost contact and resolve the current crisis as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it's hard to say what will happen when this vampire discovers the dwarf tribe.

As for the tens of thousands of orcs, Valen had an inexplicable feeling that the opponent that was invincible to the dwarf tribe did not seem to be a big deal in the hands of the powerful and mysterious Lord Cachar.

"Lord Cachar, I only need a promise from you. I believe that with your greatness, you will never betray your promise."

Li De couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. How could this dwarf have so much confidence in him?

But impulsive and reckless guys like orcs know how to enslave dwarves to forge weapons, let alone him?

Even in Li De's view, if the dwarf tribe can be discovered, the value of these dwarves' skills may not be as high as the mithril veins [ ].

"Okay, Lord Valen, I promise you, if one day I discover the dwarf tribe, I will not harm them unless they are hostile to the vampires and take the initiative to attack."

Varun was visibly relieved and nodded immediately, "Lord Cachar, I believe in your promise.

To create night elf-specific metal requires very tedious steps and a large amount of precious ores..."

Immediately afterwards, Valen told the formula of the shadow metal without any reservation.

As the forging master of the dwarves, Valen has many good things in his hands. He has several recipes that are better than the shadow metal. However, they are the dwarves' treasures and cannot be leaked, so he doesn't feel bad about them.

Nugget and several other blacksmiths listened to Valen's explanation very seriously, wishing they could write down every word.

Li De had no interest in this. Blacksmithing was so boring.

However, if you want to forge shadow metal, you still need to purchase a large amount of precious metals.

For example, the fine gold from the volcanic crater, the cold iron produced in the snow-covered land, etc., currently have very few reserves in the City of Dawn and need to go to Green City to purchase them.

Li De naturally agreed to this. As long as he could achieve the effect he wanted, paying a certain amount of Jinpuke was nothing to him.

Under his instruction, Harrison sent people directly to Green City to inform Stanley to find and purchase related precious ores.

Since the Dark Pact became a force under Li De, the previous pattern of only him being connected to Green City has become a thing of the past.

There are now dedicated vampires in Dawn City who are responsible for communicating with the Dark Pact.

Because of the special nature of the Dark Pact, even precious resources that cannot be obtained from the Scarlet Mage Tower can be purchased.

So Dawn City relies more and more on Dark Pact in this regard.

Of course, this also greatly eased Li De's burden, allowing him to take time to do other things.

This acquisition process took three days to purchase all the quantities of Corso and Castro.

Li De spent a full 100,000 gold coins on this, and every mistake was 100,000 gold coins! !

This directly wiped out the profit of the Scarlet Mage Tower this month, which made Spark, who was originally planning to continue to speed up the construction of the ancient alchemy magic circle, complain greatly.

If Li De hadn't left Green City, this archmage would have come to attack him.

Li De participated in almost the entire process of Valen's armor forging. He watched with his own eyes how Corso's huge armor was formed step by step.

Although the blacksmith shop had experience in making armor for Corso before, the products they produced were undoubtedly substandard industrial defectives.

Varun turned his nose up at their work and redesigned the entire casting process.

It has to be said that a forging master is a forging master. The same fast iron, the same time, and even the same tapping method, the forging results are completely different.

The huge bodies of Corso and Castro also caused a lot of problems in the entire manufacturing process, but with Valen's presence, they were solved one by one.

It seems that there is only one more person in the blacksmith shop, but the entire blacksmith shop has been upgraded by several levels.

It was also the first time that Li De realized that a master-level life professional had such a huge bonus to related professionals.

One day, two days, three days, until the tenth day after the casting plan was confirmed, these two pieces of equipment, which cost 100,000 gold coins, were finally cast successfully.

Li De stood in front of the blacksmith shop with some excitement, the huge Corso stood beside him, and Castro soared under the sky waving dark red bat wings.

The huge body with a wingspan of 16 blades attracted the eyes of countless residents in amazement.

The dragon is nothing more than that.

The Smithy was an area with over ten two-story houses serving as workshops.

At this time, the forging, which had caused misery to the nearby residents in the past few days, and the banging sound that was still ringing wildly in the middle of the night, had stopped.

Not only Li De, Harrison, Amy, Nile, Nicole, but also Frey, who had been guarding the Holy Land, also came to the small square in front of the blacksmith shop.

The surrounding area was crowded with residents of Dawn City. The news that the blacksmith shop was forging weapons for the Cyclops in the past few days has been announced by the Propaganda Department.

What kind of weapons and armor does this big guy use? It’s exciting just to think about it.

So when I heard that the casting was successful today, it immediately attracted non-residents to come.

"I heard that this is an artifact forged by His Majesty Cachar himself for Lord Koso. I really want to see it."

"Have you seen the giant beast flying in the sky? I heard from the adults on the patrol that it is called Castro. It is a mythical beast created by Cachar with divine power. It is said to be comparable to a giant dragon..."

"Hiss~ If Lord Koso wears strong armor, then who else can be Lord Koso's opponent? Lord Cachar is really wise and powerful..."

"I'm really looking forward to it. I want to know what kind of armor the Lord of Cachar has forged..."

The people in the Propaganda Department claimed that the dwarves were forging armor, but the residents consciously attributed the credit to Li De.

Because the Propaganda Department also said that the dwarves are not friends at the moment because they refuse to cooperate with the Holy Light Vampires.

This news caused Wallen to be looked down upon by many residents during this period.

Many times Valen would feel very depressed because he never knew when an old lady would come out from the street corner and point at him and taunt him, even before he knew where he was wrong.

"Coming, coming!! That's Mr. Nugget, look behind him!!"

"Quickly, don't block me, let me see!! Let me see"

"Hiss, what is that?? It's so scary!!"

There was a burst of heated discussion around, and the scene was like a drop of boiling oil dropped into a hot pot.

In the middle area of ​​the ten houses in the blacksmith shop, a tall warehouse slowly opened.

The eyes of Li De and everyone around him lit up, full of anticipation.

Although Li De participated in the entire manufacturing process, Valen did not let him participate in the last step because the last step involved the most mysterious forging technique of the dwarves.

So Li De didn't know what the final two pieces of armor were like that cost him 100,000 gold pukes to build.

Everyone was looking forward to it. Wallen, who had a big black beard and was bound by forbidden magic chains, walked out of the warehouse with his head held high. Dozens of blacksmiths behind him pushed things, which made the scene fall into silence.
