Ron stood in the distance, watching the civilians in the team take out the tent structures that could withstand the wind and rain from the carriage and set up their temporary shelter for the night.
Since he and Helen had reached an understanding, Ron didn't hesitate to ask various questions about this world. Of course, he didn't show that he knew nothing.
Helen was also very sensible. Without waiting for Ron to ask, she took the initiative to tell all the information she could think of.
The place where they were now was the Blood Plain. The ruling class here was the powerful Blood Nobles. These creatures were also called the Blood Clan. They could create blood servants and ghouls, and both of them were members of their armies when they fought each other.
According to Helen, a vampire called Earl Charles ruled the land where they were now. All human civilians were legally the property of this vampire.
These vampires mainly had two camps. Charles was in the camp that believed in the ancient ancestors of the Blood Clan, and the second camp believed in the recently emerging Blood God. Recently, the two sides often fought each other, and these nobles often led their knights to plunder and kill in each other's territories.
Due to the intensification of the war recently, the demand of the nobles for blood supply had also increased. Therefore, the collection of the blood tax had become more frequent, which also led to the fact that people from all levels of the civilians could hardly escape the fate of being taken to the castle.
The civilians called this situation the Blood Disaster. The last Blood Disaster was more than ten years ago. But when everyone talked about it, they all regarded it as bad luck, rather than the nobles' persecution of them.
They already thought that the blood tax itself was a matter of course.
These nobles did not station their own troops or knights in the town, nor did they try to control their thoughts or guide their culture.
The Blood Clan simply regarded mortals as weeds, allowing these mortals to grow wildly on the land. They would harvest the civilians they had never taken care of when they wanted to, and the mortals didn't even dare to have the idea of resistance.
This showed that the Blood Nobles had an overwhelming power over mortals. Ron didn't think that the mortals didn't try to resist because of lack of courage.
In his eyes, neither Ralph nor Helen was that kind of cowardly fool.
Ron could imagine that these civilians probably had never seen any hope at all.
Helen didn't know the specific situation of the Blood Nobles, but when she talked about these contents, the information about these creatures appeared in front of Ron:
[Vampire:Former low-level members (non-citizens) of the Empire, common alien species, immortal species with strong immortality. The general biological energy level is between Ⅱ-1 and Ⅲ-5. The prominent individuals' biological energy level is between Ⅳ-1 and Ⅴ-5. Some are born with blood energy (a subspecies of psionic energy). They have both physical and psychological cravings for blood. Ordinary fatal wounds have no meaning to them. Sunlight can completely suppress their self-healing ability.]
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
For the people living on the Blood Plain, the existence of the sun itself was much more distant than the ancient gods in the rumors. Helen had never seen that huge, hot star with her own eyes in her life.
Ron could also infer that the billowing black clouds in the sky should be a supernatural phenomenon created by the Blood Clan, and it was also the most important source of power for their rule of this land.
How could he become stronger?
When this question emerged in Ron's mind, the kind of screen reappeared in front of him, but this time it didn't speed up his thinking.[Promotion conditions for Emperor's Body Ⅱ: Biological energy level Ⅰ-5 (satisfied), Psionic strength Ⅰ-5 (satisfied), Isolation ritual (not completed), Emperor's Heart transformation surgery (not completed)Promotion conditions for Psionic Pillar Ⅱ: Psionic strength Ⅰ-5 (satisfied), Emperor's Body Ⅱ (not satisfied), Sealing ritual (not completed), Psionic connection ritual (not completed)]
Before he could improve his psionic strength, he had to complete the promotion of Emperor's Body Ⅱ first, and he had to do two things.
The isolation ritual could make his body reject external influences, and the sealing ritual could deal with those enemies who wanted to invade his mind.
According to the system data, there were many dangerous gods in this world. It was easy to attract these things during the process of improving one's biological energy level and psionic strength. Therefore, he had to be prepared to resist them first.
The things needed for the Emperor's Heart transformation surgery were all in the micro-community in his body. When he completed the transformation, the "Emperor's Heart" on the panel would be officially activated, and this was also one of the ultimate weapons left by the Empire.
In other words, if he could complete the isolation ritual, he could continue to become stronger. And this ritual required a total of: four liters of psionic liquid with characteristics 3-671 and 13-125, 10 points of Ⅰ-order Empire psionic energy input from the ritual arranger, and a safe environment for more than three days.
Of course, these things were the least important for completing this ritual. What was really valuable was the ritual arrangement method created by the ancient Empire that existed in Ron's mind.
And now, even though Ron hadn't tried his new body, both his intuition and confidence told him that common steel alloys could no longer play a defensive role in front of him. He could easily jump several meters on the spot, move at a speed that was difficult for mortal eyes to follow, and his five senses were also much sharper than before.
There was also psionic energy. He could feel this energy flowing in his body. Ron felt that if he just stretched out his hand towards a stone in the distance, it would fly towards him.
Of course, he didn't try to use his psionic energy in such a crude way. The two knights were not ordinary medieval knights, but monsters with self-healing bodies.
After listening to Helen's narration, he had already planned to kill these three blood servants.
And he also knew clearly that his biggest problem now was that he didn't know his enemies.
And unless he really fought, it was difficult for him to know the specific combat power of the other side. But it was unwise to fight against three blood servants at the same time.
However, he already had an idea.
Now there was a blood servant alone.
The "lone knight" was driving two mortal baits to explore the way in the wasteland in the distance. And if he could also be selected to go out, he would have a chance to face a blood servant alone.
The carriage in the distance.
The two blood servant knights were just discussing Ron, who had just been found.
The captain of the knights said: "You didn't smell the smell of wild animals, did you?"The second knight replied: "No."The captain nodded slightly: "It seems that he is just an unlucky commoner. But I still think his appearance is a bit too coincidental. And his blood smell is so sweet. If we can take him back, we will surely get a rich reward."The other nodded: "I heard that Lord Charles is preparing a gift for Lady Elizabeth."But I think you are overthinking. What problems can a mere commoner have? Maybe he has a strange background among mortals. But for us, these commoners are just running dinners."The captain licked his lips: "But he may also be a werewolf or a spy planted by those crazy blood species. Maybe there is some secret art buried in his body by other blood clans, trying to use him to find the location of Lord Charles' dungeon."So I plan to take him for a walk in front and test if there is any problem."The knight shrugged at his captain: "I don't think it's necessary. If he is bitten in half by a crazy wolf that suddenly rushes out, we will lose a lot. But if you insist on doing this, then I can't say anything. After all, you are the captain."
He actually knew that what the captain said was just an excuse.
Although blood was not their main food and could not provide any enhancement, like their master, they had no resistance to sweet blood.
He was just thirsty.
