"Hello, we are refugees here. Can you give us a job?"
Outside a small town, two people shouted loudly to the people inside. Hearing this, the soldiers guarding the city looked at each other. It was really rare that there were people fleeing to come to them.
"Fleeing, why are you fleeing? Nothing seems to have happened in the kingdom."
The two people immediately said: "Winter is coming soon, and there is not enough food over there. In order to keep our family alive, we have to flee." After hearing this, the two people understood.
It is normal for people to flee every winter, but fewer people come to them.
"This is the Flower Plateau. You don't know where this place is, right?"
The soldiers guarding the city were a little surprised. This place is famous. Maybe people in other places are not familiar with it, but people near this flower plateau are definitely not familiar with it.
"We know it too, but there's really nothing we can do about it."
The two people looked at each other, and one of them sighed and said: "I heard that this winter is very cold, and there are many people fleeing. There are not many places that can accept outsiders now."
This kind of thing will be clear after a little inquiry, so it is not surprising for ordinary people to know.
"So that's it, okay, we can accept you here, but you have to pay the blood tax. And you are outsiders, so the amount you pay is twice as much as the local people."
That's not a small amount. The blood tax paid by ordinary people only makes them a little weak and will not affect their own health.
But twice the amount is different. Generally, people who are not strong enough will become weaker and weaker.
Many people who came here before would die within a few years. But after they came here, they were not allowed to leave, so it was impossible for them to escape again.
These were all spread by people who had inquired about things on the Flower Plateau in the past.
The demonization is even more serious outside. The farther away you are, the more distorted the news you hear.
"We, we know, it's better to live a few years than not to live at all."
The two of them showed a bitter smile and were accepted soon after. Their place is not a strategic location, and there are no special treasures, so there is no need to worry about someone deliberately sabotaging it.
On the contrary, they are more willing to accept outsiders. As long as they accept more outsiders, they will do a great job. Maybe in the future, when they have a certain status, they will not have to pay the blood tax.
The so-called blood tax is a tax collected by the vampires here, which means they have to draw blood every month, which has a certain amount.
It can be said that as long as you reach a certain age, you have to pay blood tax. But it is precisely because of this system that vampires and people here can coexist for a long time, otherwise who can bear it.
But what they didn't know was that after the two people entered this town, they showed a smile that only two people could understand.
"Start inquiring tomorrow, be careful not to be discovered."
"Don't worry. Anyway, I was in this business before. If I hadn't been unlucky enough to be discovered, I wouldn't have been caught."
The younger one looked honest and didn't care.
"Anyway, we have to be cautious. Let's draw blood today. Humph, let those monsters enjoy it once, and then they will be dead." The lord wanted these vampires, and they were definitely not treating them as VIP guests.
Based on their understanding of the lord's side, it was even more unlikely that they wanted to become a vampire.
Within a few days, the two of them easily figured out this place. At night, a little bird fell from the sky and landed outside a large shop.
The two people opened their eyes, stood up quickly, and said they had to go to the toilet.
Then, one person was outside and the other was inside. The person inside whispered as if talking in his sleep: "There are two pure vampires in this town, and a dozen blood slaves, who usually sleep in the backyard of the manor."
"Every full moon night, they will wake up and suck blood. One of them has reached the silver level, and the other is only at the bronze level. Their relationship should be that of father and son, or maybe father and daughter."
The little bird nodded slightly and then flew away.
The two people smiled and returned to their sleeping place without making any other unnecessary moves. Next, they would be ready to leave this place at any time.
At the same time, people in other areas also reported the information they had inquired about.
Perhaps it is because there has not been a war here for a long time, so the people on the Flower Plateau are very alert. Otherwise, this information is not so easy to find out.
"It seems to be much stronger than I imagined, but that's right, otherwise, how could the Crescent Kingdom let them exist?"
Qin Shulan discovered that based on the information she had gathered, there were probably at least a dozen people on this flower plateau who could reach the gold level, and there might even be more.
They have a powerful army of blood slaves, as well as other human legions. However, these are not the foundation for their existence. Their real strength lies in their relationships with other nobles around them.
Many nobles hope to become a vampire when they grow old so that they can continue to live.
It is precisely this kind of relationship that has allowed them to live in peace for so many years. Otherwise, just a few gold-level experts would probably be nothing to the Crescent Kingdom.
If nothing else, you can see it just by looking at the Lansha Empire, which has been able to fight against them for many years. When the Lansha Empire came to negotiate with the lord, the guards in that team were all at the gold level.
"If the lord takes over this place, then the biggest enemies he will face are the surrounding nobles. But as long as it can be cleaned up, those nobles may not necessarily fight to the death with the lord."
Qin Shulan collected information and researched it at the same time. The information collected during this period was almost enough. It was just a precaution, so Qin Shulan still had to prepare more.
Until this day, Qin Shulan had already mastered one hundred and fifty vampire information.
She knew that it was time to take action. If she waited too long, it would easily cause some trouble. It would be bad if she was discovered. At this moment, the stairs leading to the plateau had been built and the troops had been transported.
.
At this time, a huge fleet of more than a dozen ships was hidden under the plateau.
These fleets are hidden here and face huge risks every day. The longer the time, the greater the danger.
