Chapter 211 Bloodseekers
Bloodseekers are a very interesting group, because they are not an independent ethnic group, let alone a profession, system or inheritance. They may be humans, elves, orcs, Dwarves, half-orcs, lizardmen and other races, except for some imperceptible characteristics, look almost the same as ordinary people on the outside, but on the inside they are far different from their 'same race'.
Blood seekers have many unique talents. For example, their physical fitness will increase significantly when they are in the dark, their spirits will be sluggish at sunrise, and they will be able to master a unique skill called The ability of 'blood magic' is to regenerate limbs by consuming the power in the blood. The lifespan is at least five times that of other normal 'kindred'. The ability to develop downlines...I mean assimilate others.
In short, it looks like the vampire we know.
But in fact, blood seekers are completely different from vampires in the usual sense, because they are not a lot of handsome men and women with morbid gothic beauty. Unless they are crazy about poverty, they don’t like to live in coffins. They don’t have two terrifying tiger teeth, and they are not afraid of garlic, holy water, or sunlight. Although they will die if a wooden stake pierces the heart, but... But most races of Temeow will die if a wooden stake pierces the heart! ?
Bloodseekers are not even more like vampires than the half-orcs with bat blood. At least the latter can indeed transform into bats with their racial talents. They are also afraid of silverware, garlic and sunlight. More importantly, their tiger teeth are indeed very long.
As for the blood seekers...the most similar thing about them to vampires is probably that they can suck blood.
Yes, they really drink blood...
But blood is not something similar to drugs to blood seekers. The latter even do not drink blood for a long time It won't cause convulsions all over the body or rolling on the floor, it will just starve to death.
Starved to death very simply.
This is also the reason why this group is relatively unpopular in the Innocence Continent. After all, not everyone likes to get too close to a person who will jump into the street without drinking blood for a long time.
In short, when players first hear about bloodseekers, they easily confuse them with vampires and bat-type orcs, while NPCs easily confuse them with bat-type orcs.
The bat orcs... are very innocent.
The famous bat orc thief in history, Ms. Guluth Vivian, nicknamed "Batman", once said: The difference between bats and blood seekers is like the difference between wolf orcs and kobolds. obvious.
An equally famous blood seeker, Duchess Illyli Bathory, known as the ‘Scarlet Demonic Voice’, also holds the same opinion.
The only thing the two ladies didn't agree on was the question of which side equals the kobold.
To sum up, the kobolds are also very innocent.
And how did Mo Tan discover that Salia was a blood seeker?
It's very simple. When he first arrived in Huguang City two days ago, he accidentally saw Shalia sucking blood, and the victim was a mudkachu.
So Mo Tan became somewhat interested, and then inquired through various channels. The specific process was basically to first go to the Gold Coin Merchant Guild to withdraw some money, and then go to the Thieves Guild to spend some money. Soon I got a piece of blood seeker information that was not very detailed but still worth the money...
After reading it, he became more interested, and then he conducted a little investigation on Salia, and at the same time, he naturally discovered the 'pursuers'.
In the end, something that was originally quite complicated... naturally became more complicated with someone's interference.
Of course, he felt no pressure about this, so after saying goodbye to a few ‘enthusiastic’ players, he strolled slowly back to Ximen to meet up with Salia.
“It’s faster than I thought.” The latter leaned in the shadows and smiled softly, tilted his head and asked: “Are we ready to go?”
“Okay. " Mo Tan nodded, then held Salia's pretty face seriously and said seriously to her: "If you have imagined some messy things, believe me, the length of time has no meaning at all, it only depends on me. mood.”
Then he strode out of the city. Salia reacted on the spot for a long time before catching up with her face red, stretching out her right foot and kicking Mo Tan's calf hard.
[It is indeed very strange...]
In a short time, they left Huguang City and came to a fairly large lakeside with a tricky name— -Butterfly Lake, which is also the origin of the name of the small town behind the two of them.
“I heard that when the weather is warm, there are many colorful Bada butterflies hovering here all day long.” Mo Tan looked at the silver water surface swaying slightly in the moonlight and whispered to Sha beside him. Leah said: "I think it must be very beautiful."
"Maybe." The latter just shrugged noncommittally, then turned to look at Mo Tan: "I'm curious..."< br>
"Don't be anxious and curious, dear Salia." Mo Tan stretched out his index finger and tapped the other person's cold thin lips, and smiled: "Let's talk about remuneration first."
< br>Salia was stunned for a moment: "Reward?"
Mo Tan nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes, I hope you will give me that pendant, even though it is worse than its owner. Far away, but this is still a rare work of art."
"My pendant?"
Salia frowned and said with a cold expression: "You can indeed. He said he saved me. Although I had not thought of this before, providing some reward is what I should do, but..."
[Incongruous... Very incongruous...]
"But you can't bear to part with it?" Mo Tan opened his mouth exaggeratedly and said in surprise: "I thought you were happy to give this one up and it almost killed you. I’m giving away the things~”
Salia was really stunned this time. She reacted for a while before she was surprised. He asked uncertainly: "Did you just say that it... almost hurt me?"
"Have you been chased by those guys for a long time?" Mo Tan turned around and raised his chin in the direction of Huguang City, raising his chin. He asked with an eyebrow: "Have you never doubted why they were able to find you all the time?"
How did he know! ? Am I being followed? !
These two questions popped up in Shalia's mind almost immediately, and were interrupted by Mo Tan with a smile before they were turned into words and asked.
“A very simple conclusion, you don’t seem to be a local of Huguang City, or even a local of Hussein’s leadership. This can be heard just from the accent, and Xuxue You have many powerful talents that can be used in games like hide-and-seek, and although those people didn’t catch you, they were also not thrown away by you..." Mo Tan whistled softly at this point, Then he asked Salia leisurely: "Don't you think it's strange?"
Salia fell into silence.
"There are many unusually obvious factors, but because of time constraints, I won't tell you now." Mo Tan walked slowly to Sallya and whispered: "For you It's safe, you might as well let me keep it for a while. Although I just said 'reward', when you want to go back, I will definitely return it to you without saying a word, how about "
Sha? Leah was a little curious about what the other party said before, "There are many unusually obvious factors," but she didn't ask any more questions. She just raised her hands after hesitating for a while and gently untied the teardrops on her pink neck. A large gem pendant, handed it over: "I believe you..."
[Am I really too handsome? Or was it intentional? Or is it some kind of problem similar to mine? 】
"To be honest, if it weren't for my good looks, I might really think you trust others too easily." Mo Tan said casually, and then took the pendant from Shalia's hand.

Mo Tan smacked his lips, threw it into his luggage without interest, shrugged and said: "Now you don't have to worry about being tracked for the time being. The bag is quite high-end.”
"Thank you." Salia pursed her lips slightly and whispered: "That is my father's relic, so I hope you can help keep it safe. I will exchange it for something else in the future."
Mo Tan shook his head and randomly found a relatively flat place to sit down: "I am no longer interested in your pendant. I will return it to you when it is safe."
"I've never seen a 'bard' like you , Tan Mo." Shalia sat down with her knees in front of Mo Tan with her back to the lake, her eyes full of confusion and curiosity: "You are so unpredictable to me..."
[The violation in you The feeling also makes me very unsure. ~】
Mo Tan took off the truqin hanging on his back with his backhand, held it in his arms and gently played a few empty and sad notes, and smiled lightly: "I hurt you. ”
"No." Salia was stunned for a moment, and then said sincerely: "At least so far, you have been helping me, although I have no idea why."
Mo Tan blinked, He continued to ask: "Then do you think I have ulterior motives?"
"No..." Salia shook her head first, and then suddenly looked away with a blushing face: "Probably not."< br>
【Here we go again, it doesn’t look like acting at all ...Or, if she had the ability to perform this kind of acting, I wouldn't think she was so strange...]
"That's good. Since I don't mean to harm you, I won't Maybe I don't have any ulterior motives, then I It doesn't matter if he is a 'bard' in the conventional sense, and naturally he doesn't need to be seen too clearly." Mo Tan looked at Salia with a smile, spread his hands and said, "Just think that I really fell in love with you at first sight. ”
Shalia tightened her robe tightly, lowered her eyes and said, "So it was just random talk before?"
"Who knows." Mo Tan smiled playfully, and then She asked in a low voice: "Are you interested in chatting about your affairs?"
Salia seemed to be completely relaxed, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Then it depends on what your purpose is. .”
“Somewhat curious. Already." Mo Tan said without raising his head while fiddling with the strings: "It's enough for me to just visually check the measurements, not to mention I touched several of them just now."
"Although I don't know. What are 'measurements', but I always feel that you are saying something very bad." Salia frowned, and then sighed faintly: "I come from the Fernan Territory in the north, and I am considered a small noble... …”
Mo Tan nodded: "Okay, let's stop."
Salia was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Don't you want to talk about me?"
"Yes, So you don’t need to say any more, I’m just ‘somewhat curious’ anyway.” Mo Tan yawned, took out a roll of parchment from his bag and shook it slightly: “You said before that you didn’t have a pass, right. Right? This thing can allow us to go to Crystal Wolf County smoothly."
Salia sighed softly and nodded with a complicated expression.
"But you have to change your name. If Shalia is your real name, then it's best not to use it again for a long time." Mo Tan dug into the non-existent name with his little finger. Booger rolled his eyes and said to himself: "Let me think about it... Remilia, what about the name Remilia Scarlet?"
Thalia nodded: "Yes, Thalia is indeed my real name... But how did you come up with such a name so quickly? Does Remilia Scarlet really exist? "
"Yes." Mo Tan nodded happily and said with a smile: "She is one of my old friends."
Salia curled her lips. : "I really shouldn't ask you this..."
[Just take her with you for the time being and continue to observe...]
"Okay, let's do this for now, dear Lei. Mi." Mo Tan stood up, hung the truqin back behind him, and said with a smile: "You should be able to see a village in about two hours west..."
"Well, but why are you going south?"
"Tch, can't you pee..."
...
At the same time
Violet Capital City Salamoun
Sala Moon Branch of the Magician's Guild, practice area on the second underground floor
Several strands of ice dust swept out without warning, leaving a large area of dense dust on an earth element puppet in the corner. At the same time, two thunder snakes flashing with dark purple electric flowers suddenly shot out from a short distance and plunged straight into the small-scale polar storm, blasting the permanently summoned magic circle. The low-level puppets that were produced were smashed to pieces, and the flying fragments were imprisoned in mid-air by an invisible hand before they had time to disintegrate into basic elements, and were violently poured to the ground in the next second.
Boom! ! !
The sturdy, naive earth element puppet, used to train low-level mages, with strong resistance to blows, and which was born less than two minutes ago, died like this.
Not even a bit of scum is left.
"This is so fucking magical..."
A middle-aged half-orc mage with a mustache froze in place, stunned, looking at the petite figure not far away in extreme horror, his chin almost The child did not fall.
As a mid-level mage who majors in the fire system, he is not as crisp and neat as others.
“One minute and twenty-seven seconds.” A dwarf girl with a trainee mage badge on her chest shuddered and poked her half-dragon companion: “We are both junior mage, Wawa. Brother, how long does it take to deal with a low-level earth element puppet?"
The latter sighed: "Ten minutes to base..."
"What was the previous record?!"
"Three minutes and twenty seconds, set by Senior Doma two years ago."
"Are these sisters still human..."< br>
“I don’t see it like...”
