Chapter 9 [Vampire Immortal Seed]!

City of Shadows. "" Novel handwritten by netizens

This is a very special city because legend has it that half of the city is hidden in its own shadow. The ruler of this city is a mage from the demigod realm. No one has seen her true face, and everyone in the world calls her [Shadow Queen]. According to legend, she possesses an ability that is almost like that of a god, and has always been outside this world.

The actual controllers of the Shadow City are a group of shadow mages, who formed the Shadow Council, an organization independent from secular power during the Empire of Man. It is said that the powerful Shadow Queen used her mysterious magic to open up a hidden shadow plane. This demi-plane relies on the Shadow City and becomes a space outside the material plane. If it weren't for the invasion of the abyss that threatened the entire world, these shadow mages might not be willing to accept other races into the Shadow City.

While chatting with other people in the caravan, Murphy learned that the shadow mages were all beings with eccentric personalities and very strange personalities.

Several people who had gotten along well with him along the way told him that it was best not to conflict with the mages in the City of Shadows, as they were all very vengeful people. In addition to shadow mages, there are also a lot of lichs in that city. Because of the battle in the imperial capital, tens of thousands of arcane mages outside the city joined forces to summon meteor showers, and many imperial mages died in the battle. , but a very small number of lucky people survived. In order to seek revenge and pursue more powerful power, these surviving people began to study some forbidden magic. Not only the arcane magic of the necromantic faction, but also some magic of demon summoning and demon enslavement were included in their research topics. .

In the process of studying these forbidden spells, many mages transformed themselves into lichs.

………………

The invasion of the abyss will occur every ten years, because the fluctuations of the elemental tides take ten years as the ups and downs. Within ten years, the elemental tide of a plane will have a slight ups and downs. At the moment when the elemental shock reaches its peak, the high-level demons in the abyss will join forces to break open the plane channel and send a large number of abyssal demons and mutant monsters away. into this world.

The passage connecting the abyss is the twelve detonated active volcanoes.

When the gate of the abyss is opened, a large number of demons and monsters will emerge from the lava land, and many mages who originally hid from the world will also gather together. At other times, these mages are practicing on their own territory. Although there are not many gods in this plane, there are some spellcasters who are close to demigods, and there are quite a few heroes who have entered the legendary realm.

Just like the Ice Lady in the caravan, Murphy revealed that she was a spell caster in the legendary realm, only one step away from the realm of demigods!

And it is precisely because of the existence of these legendary heroes that this plane has been able to endure the invasion of the abyss demons for so long.

All the way south.

Murphy found that the towns and villages along the route were mixed.

Races such as humans, dwarves, orcs, half-elves, mixed-blood elves, etc. all live together.

However, Murphy saw no trace of pure-blood elves in the towns he passed. As for the high elves who inherited higher bloodlines, he did not see any traces. It seems that those pure-blood elves are not used to mixing with other races. At noon, the caravan arrived at a large town and Murphy saw a descendant of a giant.

In the world where the Kingdom of Athens is located, there are also descendants of giants who inherit a meager trace of Titan blood.

However, the Yunzhong Mountains are too far away from the southern plains. Murphy has only heard about it so far, but has never seen it with his own eyes.

This time, he saw a new species.

What he saw was a hill giant with light gray skin. He was about four and a half meters tall. He was very muscular and mighty. He was wearing simple leather armor, sewn from the skin of some kind of sub-dragon creature. Yes, the weapon is a huge sword, three meters long, about fifty centimeters wide, and the weight should be conservatively estimated to be more than half a ton!

This is no longer in the category of heavy weapons, and siege equipment is nothing more than that.

The giant sword in his hand would not only cut people, but if it was hit, ordinary creatures would be smashed into a puddle of flesh on the spot. Many descendants of giants have the innate ability to petrify skin, so they rarely wear armor. Hill Giants are a race with the specialty of petrifying skin, so they are completely humanoid tanks when fighting, and they are a crushing presence on the battlefield. !

Most of the giants have simple and honest personalities, and are relatively easy to get along with unless they are angry.

This hill giant seems to have a good temper. Many people in the town are not afraid of him, and some people say hello to him from time to time.

He brought a large amount of goods, most of which were animal furs. When Murphy saw him, he was calculating accounts with a goblin with his fingers. While calculating the accounts, he waved his hand to signal to the little one, who was not even taller than his knees. The tall goblin merchant gave him another bag of grain. Many giants' brains are not very good. They are like children before they are one hundred years old, with low IQ. Only those giants who have lived for more than three hundred years will learn to be as smart as individuals over a long period of time. . During the first 150 years of a giant's body development, nutrition was concentrated on muscles, so the giant's size grew very quickly in the early going, and then it gradually shifted to IQ over the next 150 years. At that time, the height of the giants was almost finalized.

The relationship between hill giants and dwarves is good, and there seems to be some close blood relationship between the two.

In the end, the hill giant persuaded the cunning goblin businessman, because after he couldn't succeed in calculating the goblin businessman no matter what he said, he beat the ground with his fist in great anger, and then heard a loud "bang bang bang" sound. As the earth shook, a large hole was hammered out on the street. Everyone around was frightened, and the goblin businessman even fell to the ground.

It struggled for a moment, but finally gritted its teeth and gave the hill giant an extra bag of grain as if it was bleeding.

A carriage of fine furs, including those of monsters, was eventually exchanged for a carriage of grain from a treacherous goblin merchant. After the hill giant loaded the extra bag of grain into the carriage, he happily pulled the grain of the carriage away. Before leaving, the hill giant stopped at the tavern he passed by. He stood at the door of the tavern, hesitated for a long time, clasped his fingers and muttered something.

Due to his frame, he was almost a floor high when he stood there, so he couldn't enter the tavern. He blocked the door with half of his body standing there. But it's broad daylight now, and there seems to be no one in the tavern, so it doesn't matter if he stands there.

Murphy was very curious and couldn't help but walked over to hear what he was talking about.

"If you exchange red stones for wine, Tima will be very angry. Hammer will have nothing to please Tima and make her happy." The hill giant squatted on the ground and muttered, holding a pebble-sized ball in his hand. Ruby, seems to want to exchange this gem for wine. However, although he was mumbling to himself, his voice was still very thick when he spoke, and Murphy could hear it clearly even from a distance of more than ten meters.

"Exchanging gems for wine?" Murphy was dumbfounded.

Although Murphy didn't know how expensive the price of food in this world was for the goose-sized gem, there was no doubt that the value of such a large gem was immeasurable. If it were in the Kingdom of Athens, its value could almost buy a tavern. Although Murphy's understanding of this world is relatively limited, he can also estimate its amazing value.

He hesitated for a while.

The hill giant finally stood up and reluctantly left the tavern.

"Although Hammer really wants to drink, he also wants to marry Dima back into bed. It's better to stay and please Dima." The hill giant seemed to have found a reason to convince himself, so he left with a cheerful giggle.

This is a real treasure!

It has been eight days since I came to this plane.

Murphy's heart has always been heavy, and everything he saw along the way made it difficult for him to truly relax.

However, after seeing this hill giant, Murphy rarely laughed out loud, and he smiled very happily. This was the first time he laughed in this dilapidated plane, so he decided to treat this hill giant to a drink.

but.

Murphy also had no money on him.

"Wait a minute." Murphy called to the hill giant in front.

The huge body of the Hill Giant turned around, looked at Murphy suspiciously, and said, "Human? Why are you calling Hammer? Hammer has no fur. If you want it, come back next month."

The giant's voice was thick, very thick.

"Wait a minute, I'll buy you a drink!" Murphy smiled and said slowly.

drink wine?

As soon as he heard about drinking, the hill giant suddenly became interested. He walked up to Murphy in a few steps and said excitedly: "Really?"

"Really." Murphy nodded, and then said: "Wait for me here."

After saying that, Murphy turned around and walked into the tavern.

There were only a few people in the tavern, and there was a wooden sign in the middle with the names of several wines written on it. The text was written in the dwarf language of this world, and Murphy didn't recognize any of it. Because of the relationship between [Reading] and [Memory], Murphy can understand the high elven and human languages ​​of this world, but he is ignorant of many languages ​​unless he has enough time to learn and use arcane abilities. Go to memory.

The owner of the tavern is a dwarf with a red beard, lying on the counter boredly.

As soon as he entered the tavern, Murphy noticed that the surroundings were quiet, and then he noticed the fluctuation of elements inside the tavern.

"Soundproof barrier?" Murphy looked stunned for a moment, then slowly moved forward.

After all, this is not the original world. The progress of civilization in this plane is much higher. However, Murphy was a little surprised that a soundproof barrier was actually placed in a mere tavern. It is indeed a plane with a brilliant arcane civilization. Murphy has seen too many novel things along the way. Although this plane has become extremely damaged by the invasion of the abyss, behind this safe place, he still saw many traces of arcane magic integrated into life.

There were few customers in the tavern.

Most of them were sitting in dark corners, and Murphy discovered that most of the people inside were actually mages!

That's right.

Almost all the guests in the tavern were wearing robes, and three or four of them clearly looked like mages. Hearing Murphy's heavy footsteps as he entered the door, several mages raised their heads and glanced at him, then went about their business indifferently. An ordinary swordsman in a dusty old uniform was not worthy of their attention.

However, there was a mage in the corner who looked at him with interest.

In this world, due to the invasion of the abyss, there has been a plane-wide reduction in food production. Following this, food prices have remained high. Naturally, wine has become a luxury item that ordinary people cannot have access to. This is also the reason why there are only so many guests in a tavern, and they are all mages. The fundamental point is that ordinary people, even adventurers, may not have that much money to spend on luxuries like wine.

The tavern that the adventurers went to was at the other end of the town. It only served the lowest-grade watered ale, and the price was as high as one silver coin a cup. To be more precise, it should be said to be a large cup. For those adventurers, the weight of a large cup can already offset their dissatisfaction with water in the tavern.

Murphy is not a wealthy man at first glance.

"It's such a brilliant plane of arcane magic. You can actually see so many mages even when you enter a tavern." Murphy also glanced at them and wisely did not disturb these mages.

He has seen too many mages along the way, ranging from one or two thousand to seven or eight hundred.

Although there are not many high-level mages, it can be said that there are a lot of first- and second-level mages at random. There are a lot of low-level mages in almost every town. The elemental tide of this plane has stabilized, and it can be said that it has entered an era of vigorous development of arcane civilization. Following this, a large number of intelligent creatures have awakened their arcane talents, and low-level mages appear one after another.

People with outstanding talents in the two planes may be equally rare, but different environments determine that there is a huge gap in the number of low-level mages at the grassroots level!

"How much does a barrel of wine cost?" Murphy walked to the counter and asked.

The red-bearded dwarf boss looked at him lazily, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and hummed: "What kind?"

In order to avoid trouble, Murphy stopped using High Elvish, because he only now discovered that there are very few people in this plane who understand High Elvish, and most of them are concentrated in the middle-level wizard class and above and the noble class in various places. So the question he just used was the human language he had just learned not long ago. The gold medal players in Athens are no longer around, so Murphy wisely chose to keep a low profile.

"The most ordinary." Murphy said slowly without getting angry.

He is now covered in dust and his clothes are somewhat torn. He looks more like a down-and-out mercenary.

"Fifteen gold coins." The red-bearded dwarf still looked cold and hummed.

Fifteen gold coins?

Murphy was immediately surprised. At this price, you can buy the best spirits in Athens.

After thinking about it, he took out the knight's sword from his waist, put it on the counter, and said in a deep voice: "Can this sword be exchanged for a barrel of good wine?"

Cold light flashes!

When the knight's sword was placed on the counter, not only the indifferent red-bearded dwarf's eyes widened, but also several mages present were instantly attracted and cast their gazes.

There is a cold light flowing on the sword. Even though hundreds of years have passed, the arcane runes on it still show no signs of weakening, and faint elemental fluctuations are coming from it. With just one glance, everyone could see how extraordinary it was. This was not an ordinary knight's sword, but a weapon with arcane runes attached to it! This extremely high level of enchantment craftsmanship could only be seen during the most glorious period of the human empire!

Dwarves are all species that like to forge iron.

Naturally gifted with specialization in weapon forging, the red-bearded dwarf's eyes flashed, and he immediately picked up the sword in high spirits. He stroked the blade of the sword with his rough palm, showing a greedy expression, and said in disbelief: "This is the forging process of the Imperial Age!"

The dwarf touched the inscription on the sword with his finger and read it slowly.

——"Faith and strength, fight with unyielding will!"

Sonorous!

A dagger made of fine iron was inserted on the counter. The dagger was thrown out, accurately hitting the dwarf's hand touching the hilt and knocking it down on the counter.

Not far away in the corner.

A thin figure in a gray cloak stood up. He slowly came to Murphy's side and said coldly: "I want this sword!"

boom!

After saying that, he threw out a money bag.

With the pain in his wrist, the red-bearded dwarf suddenly stood up furiously. A treasure was placed in front of him. At this time, someone actually intervened. How could he not be so angry? However, after seeing the other party's pale face clearly, he immediately felt as if someone had strangled his throat. His face turned red and he sat down without saying a word.

who?

Murphy squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the person in front of him curiously.

No no no.

In other words, he should not be human.

Because the human body does not have this cold breath of death, but he is not an undead. The body of the undead has decayed and will not be as well preserved as his. It just looks a bit too pale.

Not a trace of blood!

After taking a thorough look at the opponent's appearance, Murphy suddenly thought of a legendary species that did not exist in the original plane.

——Vampire Immortal Seed!

Another extension of the undead species, the dark species that was born in the era of the Silver Titans!

That is, the vampire in folklore!
