I Became a Progenitor Vampire

Huhu~

The wind is howling and snow is falling from the sky.

Ice and snow are the eternal theme of the winter moon.

Even the City of Dawn, which is surrounded by mountains, is no exception.

When Li De was riding the Castro and hovering over the City of Dawn, the wind and snow became heavier and heavier.

But in such a cold weather, he found that the number of people on the street below was much larger than before.

Thinking of Harrison's letter a few days ago, his expression suddenly became happy.

The newly plundered population has already settled here.

After circling for a few times, Castro landed in the backyard of City Hall. Lid rolled over and returned to the office.

It was already the month of the month, and a full month had passed since he last left the City of Dawn.

"Where is Harrison?"

The vampire responsible for the security of the city hall immediately touched his chest and bowed when he heard the question.

"Your Majesty, Speaker Harrison is currently inspecting the newly built City Hall in New City..."

"The newly built city hall?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, more than half of the departments in the city hall will be moved here in the future."

After Li De understood the situation, he didn't bother to ask anyone to call Harrison. He got up and headed to the New City Hall within a minute of sitting down.

Because the believers and residents were too fanatical, there was always a Li De-specific carriage in the courtyard of the city hall. When walking, you would often encounter a scene where the whole street saluted him.

It's okay once or twice, but a little annoying if it happens more often.

Flying to some places would also lose his status as the master of dawn, so Harrison prepared a carriage for him early.

Ta Ta ~

The carriage slowly drove out of the city hall, and Li De looked at the street outside through the transparent glass window.

He rarely rides in this carriage, but he has to say that it is very interesting to take a carriage inspection in his own city.

He has not carefully inspected the new city after it was built.

Looking towards the street, the life mage and the staff of the logistics department were cleaning up the newly accumulated snowflakes. Judging from the thickness of the snow layer, they were cleaned every few suns.

Their labors keep the streets clear of traffic.

Although clean streets cannot directly improve the living conditions of residents, they can greatly increase the happiness index and make Daybreak City more cohesive.

Although the scene was small, Li De was quite satisfied.

Although cultivating life-type mages in large quantities consumes a lot of money, the effect on the City of Dawn is also clearly visible.

At the very least, you don’t need to worry too much about many places where spell casters are needed.

He had used the vampire to dig out sewers many times before. Although the vampire would never obey and was not dissatisfied at all, there was something strange in his heart. After all, he was also a superior race and a powerful spellcaster, doing such a thing... ..It is indeed demeaning.

Life-style mages will not have such thoughts. When they are trained, they already know the type of work they will do in the future.

And they were also instilled with the concept that any job will contribute to the future of Daybreak City and that work is equal.

So there is no need to worry about these spell casters having rebellious psychology when using it.

The shops on both sides of the street have also become very prosperous because of the increase in residents.

In the past, the scene of three or two big fish and small fish has already undergone tremendous changes.

Even in the cold winter, residents can be seen constantly coming in and out of the store. Most of them have smiles on their faces and a sense of satisfaction that can be seen in their eyes.

After the carriage entered the new city, this feeling became even stronger.

For most of the residents who were plundered, the current life in Dawn City is like being in the kingdom of heaven compared with their previous lives.

Li De originally thought that he could avoid the residents' onlookers by riding a carriage, but he underestimated his influence and status in the hearts of the residents.

When the carriage passed by, as long as they saw the carriage flying the flag of the City of Dawn, the residents would stop and hold their chests and bow, their eyes full of respect and admiration.

Li De could only shake his head at this and ordered the vampire driving the car to speed up.

After repeated expansions, the City of Dawn has now become extremely vast. If you want to completely walk through the entire city, you need to walk for more than half an hour.

More than twenty minutes later, the carriage slowly stopped at Moonlight Square.

The square in the new city is nearly five times wider than the Dawn Square in the old city, and can easily accommodate a gathering of more than 100,000 people. Across the wide Moonlight Square, you can see the excavated artificial lake - Moonlight Lakeside.

The sparkling water rippled, but the ice and snow did not freeze the lake.

Now Moonlight Square and Moonlight Lake have become places for residents to take leisurely walks. Although the weather is cold at this time, there are still many residents playing nearby.

The main door of the New Town Hall faces the square.

The moment Li De stepped off the carriage, a blast of cold air hit his face.

White mist came out of his nose, and he looked deeply at the five-story large building in front of him.

The height of the new city hall has reached 30 blades, which is one line higher than the Dawn Master Tower. The exterior walls are carved with exquisite heroic reliefs, and the colored bay windows mostly promote Li De's great achievements.

The most eye-catching thing is the nine-blade semicircular arch in the center. Ordinary people standing under the door are as small as children.

The two giant gates are embossed with two figures as tall as the gates, with bat wings spread out behind their backs, holding long swords in both hands and looking straight ahead. The vampires guarding here are full of sacred and inviolable majesty.

"Who carved this? What a waste of talent if you don't do art."

Li De liked the charming building very much.

This is consistent with the status of the City of Dawn.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the left side of the square. There was also a five-story building there, but unlike the city hall, that building was surrounded by holy light, and the pure white exterior walls filled it with a sacred atmosphere. .

The huge statue of Li De in front of the building already explained where this place was.

With the increase in population, it is obvious that the Daybreak Church in the old city can no longer accommodate more and more believers, and it has become necessary to build a new church.

After Li De paused for a moment, he stepped into the city hall building with satisfaction.

After he set the general direction for the construction of the new city, he basically did not interfere much. He only gave a few opinions when the Ministry of Construction came up with the plan.

In just over a year, this new urban area has been built so perfectly, which cannot but satisfy him.

Entering the lobby, the new city hall may have just been built not long ago and is still being renovated. The surrounding murals have just started to be painted. After taking a look at the dozens of workers under construction, I didn't stay too long and went directly to the magic elevator.

Yes, magic elevator. When he was in the Green City black market, Li De experienced an elevator owned by the heart-eater Welsh. Later, he got interested and directly sent someone to get this technology back.

Relying on the terrifying reputation of Yiluo Crown, Welsh, the level 9 heart eater, immediately contributed a full set of technologies and even asked if he needed someone to come to help with the installation. He also covered the cost.

Li De naturally refused this rude request mercilessly. The technology stayed and the people could leave. This made Welsh, the heart-eater who wanted to see His Majesty Yiluo again and listen to his advice, disappointed for a long time.

Click~

After entering, it was surrounded by iron nets, but you could clearly see the magic elevator below and around it. The iron chains began to twist driven by the magic circle, and the elevator slowly rose.

Li De was quite amused by this primitive and magical scene.

After the elevator reached the fifth floor, the vampire guards in the room immediately helped open the iron door.

"It feels more and more like this. This is what a magical city should have."

After stepping out of the elevator, Li De looked back at the crude magic device behind him, feeling quite happy.

"Earth changes life through technology, and Glory changes life through magic. We must let the Magic Industry Research Institute develop more similar life products in the future.

For example, you can make magic rail cars and magic lights..."

Under the magic lamp, the light in the corridor was very good. Li De followed the guard to Harrison's new office.

Stepping into the open room and looking around for a while, the interior decoration was relatively simple. There was no other furniture except the sofa and desk in the center.

"Good day, Your Majesty..."

Seeing Li De's sudden appearance, Harrison, who was directing several construction department workers to tidy up the office, immediately looked surprised.

Li De smiled slightly, "Good day, Harrison.

When will this building be ready for use? It looks much more spacious than the city hall in the old city. "

"Your Majesty, the decoration will be completed after the winter moon, and most of the administrative departments will move here to work."

After Harrison finished speaking, he turned and waved to several workers who were excited after seeing Li De, "You guys can go out first."

After the people left, Harrison led Li De to the brand new gray sofa.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Li De didn't do any ink, so he sat down and got straight to the point.

"Harrison, Amy just sent me news back in Lisle City. He has inherited part of the power of the gods..."

Harrison's eyes suddenly opened wide and he looked at Li De in disbelief.

“Marquis Amy actually inherited the power of the gods?!

Your Majesty, what's going on? "

Is it possible to inherit the power of gods if you want to?

Although Amy has the title of God Blasphemer and was the first level 5 top combat power in Dawn City, she is still far from a god.

This news obviously exceeded his expectations.

"It's the relics of the gods in Lisle City..." Li De's dark eyes were deep, and he told Harrison in detail about Amy and the relics of the gods in Lisle City.

"By God of Creation, this thing is too amazing..."

Harrison's eyes were glaring. This second-generation blood descendant who held the power of the city hall had already noticed the shocking opportunity contained in this.

“At present, although Lisle City is dangerous, it is also an unprecedented opportunity, especially when Marquis Amy is providing internal support for us.

Regardless of the risks involved, it's worth Daybreak's involvement.

Artifacts, divine bodies, divine heads... and countless treasures, we only need to get some of them! "

Harrison's tone was the same as that of Frey and Sam, as if it would be a crime not to be involved.

Li De seemed to have known for a long time that Harrison's reaction expression did not fluctuate much, but his eyes became a little more solemn.

“That’s what I came back for this time.

There are several points that we need to pay attention to. The deeds of Lisle City have been spread by adventurers from the lost plane and are now known to everyone.

Although most people were skeptical about this and did not send real top combat forces to participate, the situation inevitably became complicated this time. "

“This time we cannot use the power of the Holy Light Vampires, not even the Dawn Bats.

Because not only us, but also humans, those light sects, and even elves representing the natural camp will go there this time.

The Vampires cannot be exposed to those people, otherwise what we will face is likely to be an encirclement and suppression by humans. Compared to the orcs guarding the ruins of the gods, the Vampires are obviously more suitable to be their enemies. "

"What are your plans?"

Harrison asked with some hesitation. If the vampires and magic bats cannot be sent to join the battle, there is no doubt that the strength of Dawn City's army will be greatly reduced.

If so, do they still have the strength to participate in this operation to rob the relics of the gods?

"Harrison, Centaur," Li De said with a strong gaze and a somewhat high-pitched tone, "The Centaur of the low hills and hills are the most suitable army for this operation.

As a strong fighting race, Centaurs' combat effectiveness has been tested by time and there is no need to question it.

Moreover, the number of Centaur troops of the Iron Heel Tribe has expanded to 70,000, which is much more than the army we have on hand now. "

"What we have to do now is to use all our strength to forge high-level equipment for the centaurs and do our best to improve their combat effectiveness.

Harrison, in the next three months, Dawn City will not sell any high-level weapons and equipment to the outside world, and Dawn City will be transformed into a wartime state.

The production of common and rare level equipment will be stopped immediately, and all efforts will be made to produce high-level equipment.

The equipment to be produced next must start with a rare ★★★, or even reach the perfect level. "

Li De gave the order directly.

"The Ironhoof tribe now has 70,000 centaur troops, 40,000 heavily armored warriors, and 30,000 centaur archers.

In three months, this army can expand to at least 00,000 people, so I need the weapons factory to produce equipment for 00,000 people within three months.

Mithril, fine gold, and fine iron were all taken out from the warehouse, and the best materials were used to forge weapons for them, no matter the cost. "

Hearing these words that were too firm to be shaken, Harrison took a deep breath and immediately felt how strong Li De's determination was this time.

"Your Majesty, we will go all out! Your order is the direction in which we will move forward!"

Harrison's tone also carried absolute confidence. The current City of Dawn is no longer the City of Dawn before. They already have the power to launch a large-scale war.

Li De's eyes still flashed coldly.

"How is the progress of the bows and arrows jointly developed by the Magic Industry Research Institute and the halflings? In this war, the centaur archers will be responsible for the main output, and they must be equipped with better bows and arrows."

The City of Dawn's bow and arrow technology reserves are very average, even weak. Although the crossbows they produce are better than those used by centaurs before, they are far behind those produced by halflings.

Halfling archers are famous in the underground world. Correspondingly, centaur archers do not show any weakness. Even because centaurs once established an empire, centaur archers are more famous than halflings.

Although both are races that produce archers, there are still some differences.

Halflings rely on their excellent bow and arrow production skills, so their arrows are extremely lethal.

Centaurs rely on their strong bodies with three blades and their natural acumen to become archers.

One relies on technological equipment, and the other relies on physical strength.

If the bows and arrows produced by the halflings can be equipped on the centaurs, it will definitely have an effect of + greater than 2.

The centaurs were so poor that they couldn't afford to wear trousers, so they naturally couldn't afford to change their bows. However, Dawn City was different. Their abundant financial resources were enough to create a fearsome army of archers.

Moreover, centaurs are good at running, and this kind of mobility is not available to most races.

"Your Majesty, our research cooperation with the halflings has achieved certain results, but it is not yet ready for mass production. There is still a lot of data that needs to be tested...

I'm afraid we won't be able to make the strong bow we want in a short time..."

Harrison did not do everything. It is amazing to study this kind of thing. It may be stuck at a certain point for a few years, or it may go smoothly. No one can guarantee whether this matter can be studied until the final result is obtained. produce the desired effect.

However, Li De was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this answer.

He looked at Harrison with sharp eyes and his tone was so strong that it could not be argued.

"Issuing an order now, the Magic Industry Research Institute must develop and improve a strong bow tailored for centaurs within a month.

Within this month, I will give them whatever materials they need, and I will give them whatever support they need.

However, I have to see results within a month.

This is an order that all R\u0026D personnel must do at all costs.

The City of Dawn needs people who can fight hard. If they can't, what will I do to raise them? ! "

The coldness in Li De's tone made Harrison's heart tremble. He stood up solemnly and nodded fiercely.

"Yes, Your Majesty.

I will take personal responsibility for this matter. No matter how much it costs, this bow and arrow suitable for centaurs will definitely be developed within a month! "

Li De's expression did not soften after hearing this, and he continued to issue orders.

“In addition to weapons for the Centaur, we also need to develop suitable armor and weapons for the Cyclops and the Two-Headed Ogre.

Although the vampires cannot participate in this battle, the beings in these underground worlds can.

We only need to leave 500 Cyclops to continue building the City of Dawn.

The remaining cyclops and two-headed ogres all participated in this war against Lisle City. "

The Cyclops' adult height can reach 6 blades, while the two-headed ogre's adult height can reach 5 blades.

But whether it is 6-edged or 5-edged, it is still a giant for orcs and humans.

When facing life on the ground, once they are armed, they will definitely be the king of the land.

Thousands of giants wearing heavy armor charge, and the scene will be extremely shocking.

Li De has never forgotten the fighting power that Koso, a level 5 Cyclops wearing heavy armor, displayed when he faced the siege of thousands of orcs from the Lion Tribe in the Dwarf Valley.

Although their huge size makes them lose a certain amount of dexterity, it gives them great strength, which means that the armor they wear can be thicker.

Think about it. Wearing half-thick armor on your body, even if it is chopped by a warrior of the same level, even if the sword is curled, it will not be able to break it.

"These thousands of giants will be a strategic force that cannot be ignored in this war, Harrison, the war is coming.

I can already smell the smoke.

With only three months left, everything in Dawn City will change for this war. "

The enemy this time is stronger than ever before. If you want to get what you want from Lisle City, you must go all out.

But Li De did not flinch at all, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was unquenchable.

The ambition in the dark eyes is beating vigorously. It's either life or death. Since you have chosen to move forward, there is no third way.

He will have many enemies in the future, including the naturally hostile Illuminati sect, the spell casters who pride themselves on hunting vampires, and even the God of Bones who robbed him of his burial ground.

He sealed the Lord of Dawn, the seventh-ranked twelve-winged Seraph, and these potential enemies did not seem to put much pressure on Dawn City in the short term.

However, this is like the Sword of Damocles hanging over your head, which may fall at any time.

What he has to do is to have enough power to break the sword before it falls.

The City of Dawn, from the day he entered glory, was destined to go to destruction or glory with him.

"Your Majesty, I have understood your will, and your orders will be strictly enforced. In three months, you will see an army wearing the strongest armor and holding the sharpest weapons.

We are capable of confronting any army head-on!

The ruins of the gods in Lisle City will belong to you, to the City of Dawn! "

Harrison raised his head, the fighting spirit in his eyes having never been stronger.

Li De's expression softened slightly at this time.

"I will check the weapons factory later. How are the other projects in Dawn City progressing now?"

The military will become the main operation target of Daybreak City in the next few months, but life-related projects cannot be stopped during this process. The two are not antagonistic, but complementary.

"Your Majesty, several major projects are currently progressing very smoothly..."

When talking about this, Harrison's eyes showed a bit of joy.

“Especially greenhouse planting, this counter-seasonal planting method is an alchemy that even the gods marvel at.

Our first batch of greenhouses have been built on the Moonlight Plain. The vegetable seeds sown have germinated and are expected to be harvested in half a month.

My Majesty, eating fresh vegetables in winter is enough to shock anyone. You have done what only gods can do! Praise you~"

Li De's mouth twitched, nonsense, I am a god...Although I am a false god, I still have the title of god. Vegetables in greenhouses are nothing. I will just do soilless cultivation next time...

"Where's the heating?"

"The heating system has also been successfully developed and is currently under construction. It is expected that it will take another month to complete the construction."

"These important living facilities will be built as soon as possible, and heating will be given priority to the factories, especially the alchemy factories and weapons factories that are needed at this stage..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"What about other projects?"

"Other projects? The population plundering plan was successfully completed last time. This time, a total of 50,000 people were plundered. The current registered population of Dawn City exceeds 60,000..."

"60,000? Last time, the number was just over 00,000. Adding the 50,000 this time, it's still less than 60,000, right? Is it more?"

"Your Majesty, more than 3,000 newborns have been born in the past few months..."

Newborn? Li De was slightly startled.

The human growth cycle is so slow that it takes a full 6 years from pregnancy to adulthood at 5 years old.

Therefore, he has never paid much attention to the fertility within the City of Dawn, because it would take too long to rely on his men to create and grow human beings.

It will take at least a few decades to barely reach the scale he wants, but time waits for no one. The outside world is changing day by day, and relying on population reproduction cannot satisfy the increasingly scarce population of Dawn City.

So plundering the population is undoubtedly the fastest way.

But a very big problem is that plundering the population is always a temporary solution.

The current population of Dawn City is small, so it seems to be very effective. However, when the population reaches 000,000 or more, it will be more difficult to increase the scale by plundering the population.

At that time, internal reproduction will definitely be more cost-effective than taking the risk of plundering outside.

The proportion of young men and women among the current residents of Dawn City has reached almost 0%, and only less than 20% of the elderly and weak population.

Brutal wars often make it impossible for the elderly population to survive, leading to the current population structure.

Of course, the advantage of this is that the probability of giving birth to a newborn is higher.

"Harrison, plundering the population in a short period of time is the fastest way to replenish the population, and this cannot be shaken.

But we must also vigorously encourage births internally. The early effects may not be obvious, but when Dawn City grows, the new population will definitely become our main source of population.

This is a policy with a fifteen-year cycle. The city hall can set up a fertility department to be fully responsible for fertility work.

Let them train married men and women in all kinds of fertility knowledge, establish children's hospitals and even nurseries, and train our next generation of Dawn City talents from an early age. "

Harrison's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, this is definitely a great plan.

We can even use magic blood to cultivate a group of children from an early age, allowing them to bathe in the ocean of magic from the day they are born. In this way, perhaps our team of spellcasters will be greatly increased. "

Li De nodded, "This is a good idea, but the child's health is the most important, and everything must be based on this.

A small part of the culture can be carried out first, and then the scale of culture can be expanded after it is determined to be harmless to the body and effective. "

"As you wish."

"Also, how is the construction progress of the magic crystal veins?"

“The construction of the magic crystal veins has been completed and all the mines are being mined at full capacity.

The only problem is the construction of the ancient alchemy magic circle. Because the relevant casters have insufficient training in the magic circle, the progress has been slow..."

Li De frowned.

This isn't the first time Harrison has said something similar.

After pondering for a while, he made up his mind.

"You go build a magic circle research center in the underground passage, and I will send some adventurers from the lost plane to follow them to study improvements."

If he doesn't think of a way, he doesn't know when this magic circle will be built. He doesn't have so much time to waste in a place like this. The sooner he has a site like the ancient alchemy magic circle, the more at ease he will be.

Players have already achieved good results in improving magic scrolls, and now they can try to connect Crimson Moon's data analysis department with Dawn City's magic circle research department.

But he has no plans to let the Crimson Moon players know about Dawn City yet, so he plans to place the Magic Circle Research Center in the underground passage.

At that time, directly transfer the opponent to the underground passage outside the City of Dawn through the Boneyard, which is confidential and safe.

"Adventurers? Your Majesty, didn't you say last time that there is no magic in the lost plane? It seems that those adventurers have only arrived not long ago, and there are already spellcasters who are proficient in magic circles appearing so soon?"

Harrison was a little puzzled. Li De once gave him some introductions. Although the Lost Plane was magical, it was completely scumbag in terms of magic.

Li De smiled.

"No, Harrison, adventurers don't know magic, but they have something that can go hand in hand with magic. They call it technology."

"Technology??" Harrison had a question mark on his face.

"That's right, when technology is researched to the point where it is powerful, it can produce weapons that can easily destroy a country. Even if you let go, the technology of the Lost Plane can turn the Main Plane of Glory into the Plane of Death."

The power of Great Ivan's Cleansing is no joke, it is no different from the forbidden spells in this world.

"Hiss~ I didn't expect the adventurers from the lost plane to be so weak, but yet possess such amazing power."

Harrison's face was full of shock, and it was obvious that Li De's words made him feel a little unbelievable.

“Yes, although the weapons are powerful, they are not the key because they cannot be transported to the main plane of glory.

The most critical point is that they have a powerful computing tool that can calculate hundreds of billions, trillions, billions of times per second, which can help us eliminate a large amount of useless data.

The magic scroll of the Scarlet Mage Tower was successfully improved, and the tools from the lost plane played a big role in it.

Although the ancient alchemy magic circle is complicated and obscure, the lost plane can definitely give us a lot of help. "

Hearing what Li De said, Harrison also became interested.

"Your Majesty, I will make arrangements immediately. I really want to see their powerful weapons."

Li De smiled and wouldn't think so when he saw you.

"Harrison, these things are quite urgent. You choose one person to take charge of each project. In the future, you don't have to supervise them personally. You can just keep an eye on these people in charge and ask about the progress."

After saying that, he did not continue the task below, stood up, walked to the translucent window, and looked out the window through the glass where the heavy snow had never stopped.

His eyes were dark.

"The rain is coming..."

"The wind fills the building..."

"The wind this time may be stronger than before..."
