Chapter 496 Cleaning the battlefield
“…”
Looking at the staff presented by Asdailun in front of him, Nohir was silent for a while, but then quickly stretched out his hand to hold it After taking it, Asdalen and all the spawns also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. This should mean that they have been accepted, right? You shouldn’t be sent to jail after that, right?
Asdalen and the others thought so, but to their surprise, Nohir just stood there and looked at it for a while after taking the scepter, and then immediately turned to them and said .
“No, I don’t accept your so-called allegiance. In my opinion, loyalty bought with fear and death is worthless. Even if you think about it with the soles of your feet, you know this. To put it bluntly, would you really be loyal to someone? ”
"Your behavior, at best, is loyalty, and at worst, it's opportunism. Anyway, for you, as long as I really use this scepter to control you, then you will work under me and under Cazador. Isn’t there any difference at all?”
“This scepter can indeed give me the ability to control your life and death like Kazador, but the loyalty I can gain in this way is probably It’s not even worth a gold coin.”
“Needless to say, that is basically a slave controlled by violence and fear, but I have no intention of becoming a slave. Do you think I wake up every morning? Do you feel happy to see a few vampire spawns standing around? Even if you recruit servants to manage the manor, you guys should be the lowest priority, right?"
Nuo Xi? Er's words instantly made their hearts shudder. Yes, they are vampire spawns, and their identities are destined to make it impossible for them to integrate into human society again, because they are just wolves that have blended into the sheep. If they are really there, Having obtained legal status in human society, wouldn’t the shepherds guarding the sheepfold have to guard against them every day?
That would be too tiring and too stupid. If you really do this, then instead of letting them go, why not just kill them all on the spot... Kill them all? ! Yes, wouldn’t it be much easier this way? If I put myself in the position of a shepherd, I would definitely choose to do this, but I am not a shepherd...
It's over...it's all over now! I originally thought that I could find such a strong backer, bid farewell to the past and start a new life, but it turned out that people looked down on me at all. According to this situation, whether I could survive or not was another question, so I shouldn't be playing this clever trick.
Asdailun's little head is spinning rapidly. Now his cleverness has been misled by his cleverness. Instead, he has pushed himself into a dead end. Now he must find a way to persuade Nohir and let him do his best. Just give up on this once and for all solution!
However, the thoughts in Asdalen's mind were like a mess, and he couldn't think of an explanation. Nohir wanted to see the embarrassment of many derivatives, and saw this and stopped saying anything. Silently he released his rage and returned to his original posture. He turned around and left while waving to them to follow.
Nohir held the half-broken Kazadol in one hand, with only one breath left. He also carried the [Sorrow] magic weapon that could control the life and death of all spawns, and walked straight towards the kitchen of the castle. .
The frightened spawn on the side did not dare to do anything extra. They just closed their mouths silently and followed quietly.
Nohir didn't say much to stimulate them at this time. He also expected them to lead other spawns into the Dark Territory.
Although bringing them into the underground world can only be regarded as a last resort, I can make them stay underground safely for a while. It is not impossible for Nohir to find a way to re-transform the derivatives. A way to return to humanity.
It is not impossible to know that this kind of thing is because the spawn is just a second-class vampire race and not a real vampire. Although they do have some of the abilities of vampires and all the shortcomings of vampires, they are not as good as those that can For vampires who list a racial subject separately, the spawns still have half of the blood in their bodies, or the genes still belong to their original race.
So at best, the vampire spawn can only be regarded as a half-vampire race. This difference in bloodline makes it possible for them to come back, and this possibility is not small.
Nohill has said before that the origin of the vampire race comes from hell. The legendary first vampire in the world, Strader von Zarovich, was fighting with After the devil made a deal, the dark power from hell transformed him into a vampire in the broad sense of the world.
The reason why Nohir judged that the vampire spawn could revert back to its original race was precisely because his hell helper had an archmage-level knowledge reserve comparable to Miss Mizola.
As early as the previous wanton killing of Cazador, Mizola who came with him had been silently cleaning up the remaining threats in this castle, and when his work was completed , Nohir asked her through the spiritual connection between each other if she had any solution to these problems?
What Nohill didn’t expect was that Mizola actually gave a seemingly feasible solution.
That is to rely on the power of hell again to find the magic notes when the devil transformed the vampire race, rely on the knowledge in it, reversely deduce the appropriate spell, and supplement it with some appropriate materials. It is possible to turn these unlucky people back into normal people.
Spells, this is something that Nohill can't get for the time being. Hell still has very strict jurisdiction over the circulation of knowledge, because for the devil, knowledge is power and intelligence is bait.
It can even be said that every great devil with a successful career has knowledge in their brains that no one else can think of, as well as information that can shock the world. In this environment, they want to find the original design of the vampire. The manuscript, even for Nohill now, is an impossible task to complete in a short time.
All he can do is urge the horned demon Ledras in hell to use his own power to help collect, but as for how long it will take and how much it will cost to find what he wants. information, that’s impossible to tell.
However, although there was no preparation for the spell, as for the materials, Mizola relied on past experience and made some advance assumptions so that Nohir could make more preparations earlier.
However, Nohir can rely on money or connections to collect most of the required materials, so he does not have to worry about most of the materials, because the materials that really need to be carefully prepared are actually There is only one thing, and that is the vampire's blood that transforms them into vampire spawn.
That is, Kazador's blood.
Because Kazadol is the origin of these spawns, Mizola must rely on his blood to develop the corresponding magic spell. Although Kazadol is now half disabled, he can't squeeze out much blood at all. , but there was still a lot of blood left on the battlefield where Nohir and Kazador had fought before.
The blood can still support research. While Nohir led the vampire spawn to search for those children, Mizola was also collecting the blood remaining on the ground.
In addition to blood, Kazador himself also plays a very important role. According to Mizola, even if he can really find a way to transform his spawn back in the future, it must strictly follow the laws of hell. The contract works, and according to the principles of "fairness and justice" and "equivalent exchange" on the other side of hell, Kazador is likely to be used as a key ritual prop, responsible for sacrifices, or other purposes.
This is also the key reason why Nohir spared Kazadol’s life. In addition to possibly being used as a key prop in the future, Kazadol’s current tragic situation was shown to the other 7,000 people. The name derivative body can also calm their anger to a certain extent, and the power that Nohir showed that can easily defeat Kazador can also restore their sanity to the greatest extent.
In general, a living Kazador is far more useful than a dead one. Although there is a slight risk in letting this monster live, Nohir can still bear this risk. He got up, and now this guy has been seriously injured by him like this. It is already very difficult just to live. After that, he will customize a special restraint device. Under Nohir's guard, he will not be able to change the world even if he dies. .
Nohir was thinking about his future plans while breaking into the deeper parts of the castle. The group did not encounter any obstacles at all along the way. They only encountered various undead skeletons or corpses along the way. Ghost corpse. Needless to say, these were naturally the actions of Mizola. As early as when he and Kazadol had just started fighting, Mizola had been lurking in the dark waiting for opportunities to help, and when he killed Kazadol at an extremely fast speed, Mizola When Zador was completely suppressed, Mizola silently left the battlefield and began to clean up the remaining dangerous factors in the castle.
In fact, even the vampire spawns don’t know that all the children they kidnapped last night have been rescued long ago, and are now estimated to have returned to the Gur people. After all, in terms of rapid and long-distance displacement, the teleportation technology mastered by the caster is truly simple and efficient.
Nohir led the spawns all the way through the banquet hall, entered the food storage room next to the banquet hall, and then directly broke the hidden door covering the food storage room. Reached the hidden lifting machine.
"That's it...don't be stupid, follow me."
Nohir waved to everyone, and then stood on the plane of the elevator first. The spawns who were shocked at these hidden buildings immediately came to their senses, and stood up immediately after Nohir.
Nohir on the lifting platform was like a solemn statue, because he knew what kind of hell he would see next, while the spawns remained silent. As the operating lever was gently pulled down, The lifting platform immediately started operating, and everyone experienced a slow descent for more than ten minutes in the dark and deep lifting shaft.
In the process of falling, within the first five minutes, apart from darkness, there was only silence in the lift shaft. But as their position went lower and deeper, the darkness began to gradually sound. There were some faint wails and screams.
The deeper you go, the clearer the sound becomes. After hearing these wailing sounds, the expressions of all the spawn around Nohir suddenly changed. They seemed to realize something, but they But he was still unsure of that guess.
And when they reached the bottom platform and reached their destination, the substantial cry, full of pain, despair and weakness, directly shattered the last trace of luck in their hearts. .
The group of people seemed to be in a daze, dragging heavy steps. They even stepped down from the elevator platform one step ahead of Nohir. They looked absentmindedly at the Netherfire lanterns hanging on the side, as well as the hanging lanterns illuminated by the long green fire. In all directions of the platform, there are countless densely packed giant iron cages.
“So hungry…”
“Why can’t I die…let me be free…let me be free…”
“How long…how long "..."
"..."
Petras's legs softened and he knelt down without saying a word for a long time.
"No..."
Daliria covered her mouth with both hands, tears actually falling from her eyes.
“How is this possible!”
Leon roared in disbelief, trying to deny everything that happened in front of him with words, but only he knew how false his refutation was. Ridiculous and powerless.
"Those people...could those people be..."
Aurelia couldn't believe her eyes.
"No...no...no! Cazador! Liar! This is not true! Why! Why do you do this?!"
Violet could hardly restrain herself With such a temper, she angrily scolded Kazador for his cruelty. Compared with this kind of torture, even death seemed so kind.
"This torture..."
Yousen looked around tiredly, and then lowered his head even more tiredly.
Nohir stood silently behind them, silently watching their every move, watching their confession, sadness, denial, shock, anger, or despair.
Nohir just observed silently, and then moved his gaze to the last spawn, which was Asdalen. He walked silently on this building starting from the platform, looking towards the distance. On the ever-extending bridge, I kept looking at the hanging iron cages.
But whenever he sees a familiar face occasionally, he will immediately turn his head and stop looking at him. Is this shame? Is it guilt? No, Nohir thinks this is just a cop-out.
When these bloody sins appeared so suddenly, and then all of them hit him head-on, it was normal for Asdalen to choose to escape, but such behavior was only worthy of the Called cowardly until...
"...Sebastian."
