The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 185 The Secret of the Bloodline Inheritor
No matter what dynasty or generation, no matter which intelligent race, inbreeding is a taboo, because it is not only against ethics, but most of the offspring born with some kind of defect, some people say that the offspring of inbreeding are either fools or geniuses, unfortunately often Fools make up the majority.

Most of the intelligent races in Faerun also regard inbreeding as rebellious (except for some parthenogenesis), but few people know that there is a group of humanoid races that specialize in inbreeding. There are not only humans, but also elves and dwarves, and even a small number of other races. They are the inheritors of elemental blood.
Perhaps due to blood inheritance, humanoids with other ancient blood (such as giant dragons, giant spirits, etc.) often have some atavistic or alienated characteristics on their bodies, more precisely, deformed children, only elemental Exceptions are bloodline inheritors.Like the inheritors of the bloodline of fire, except for their skin color and hair color, their descendants rarely have deformities.The only unavoidable thing is dementia.However, every time the inheritors of this bloodline awaken, they will experience a nirvana rebirth of the soul, and the difference between a fool and a smart person who has gone through this process is almost negligible.

There is never a shortage of unscrupulous madmen in this world. In a certain age, there were countless warlock families who were obsessed with blood inheritance and staged sensational indecent things. When people mention the warlock family, the first thing that comes to mind is "incest" This word, fortunately, the era that even the gods were ashamed of has finally become history, and only a few humble families have survived with a change of face, such as the Harbell family in Longsaddle Town.

Thousands of years have passed, and history has become a legend, but the surviving bloodline inheritors (referring to the normal awakened ones, such as William and Alos who have not lost their main consciousness are not included) have never forgotten the past. Brilliant, looking for the same bloodline inheritors to continue the offspring and establish a family is almost one of the main purposes of every bloodline warlock traveling abroad.

The female mage named Morris? Hidden Fire? Sardot in front of William, or should be said to be a sorceress, is a standard inheritor of the blood of fire. This woman who is also flaming under the magic light The change of position was so fast that William felt a little unbelievable. He had to wonder if there was some conspiracy in it. Although he was confident that he could break the tender and beautiful neck of the other party with a wave of his hand, William still did not dare to give up. Not the slightest bit of vigilance.

"I just killed your companion, hey! Come on, you bitch! Don't you have the slightest feeling about the death of your companion?" William pushed away the sorceress who harassed him a little funny, although his desire was true. A little strong, but it's not so low as to fall to the point of going to a woman, not to mention that this woman was still screaming and screaming just now.

Morris tidied up her somewhat messy hair and said with a smile: "Brother, what you said is so unreasonable! Didn't the elders teach you the rules about the Fire Clan when you went out? By the way, your title is What, 'Wei Yan' or 'Han Yan'?"

The rules of the Fire Clan?title?William's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, for a while now he was worried that he knew too little about the power of the blood in his body. It was obvious that the woman in front of him who also had the blood of fire had a lot of background, and she must know a lot of secrets about the blood of fire, but It is a rare opportunity to explore the roots.

However, clichés are a skillful job. Although William can be regarded as a bit clever, he is not a person with a quick mind, but he has a "killer" trick at his disposal at any time-playing stupid.William pretended to be puzzled and said, "I'm an orphan, where did I get such an elder from?"

"You are an orphan? Hahaha!" Morris was overjoyed when she heard the words, her excitement was beyond words, "You are actually an orphan, that is to say, you don't belong to any faction. This is really rare. I should be Sardo The luck of the special family. Your name is William, right? It’s just William, how could you become an orphan?” No warlock family would give up offspring for no reason, and Morris suspected that William might be a descendant of a run-down warlock branch.

William smiled and said, "I was always a fool until I was 17 years old. Earlier, an elderly disabled mercenary kindly adopted me. Now hehe." William turned around, "By the way, I just heard you talking about the fire clan, What is the origin of this Fire Clan? What is the so-called title?"

Morris explained happily: "The family of fire refers to the general name of the inheritors of the blood of fire. You must know that there are many elemental blood in this world, such as wind, water, ice, thunder and lightning, etc. Every Each bloodline has different rules and characteristics. Our flame originates from the ancient fire elemental god, and the secrets in it are not clear for a while, but there are two most basic rules, one is the same bloodline inheritor For no reason, they must not kill each other, otherwise they will permanently lose the connection between themselves and the magic network. Then there is the continuation of offspring, every time a successful bloodline is continued (that is, a child is born), the member of the Bloodline of Fire as the father will get a free A permanent secondary spell slot, and as a member of the mother's bloodline of fire, it will directly increase the level of a magic network."

It's a pity that with William's poor knowledge of magic at this time, he couldn't understand these professional terms at all, and Morris had to explain it patiently.But when William finally figured it out, he was completely stunned by what Morris said.

What is a permanent secondary spell slot, which refers to a spell slot that is always one level lower than the highest-level spell you can theoretically use. For example, when you can release a maximum of fifth-level spells, your There will be an additional [-]th-level spell slot, but when you can cast up to [-]th-level spells, your [-]th-level spell slot will be the same as a normal spellcaster, but your [-]th-level spell slot will add an extra one, in other words In other words, this secondary spell slot will be permanently locked on the next level of the highest level spell you can use.If a legendary-level male inheritor of the bloodline of fire gave birth to hundreds of descendants with bloodline inheritance, then he can directly treat sub-legendary-level spells as the simplest [magic tricks] to play.

It is even more terrifying for female members of the blood of fire. Take Morris in front of her as an example. As a female warlock, Morris has studied hard for more than ten years and is still a half-baked spellcaster. As long as she can give birth, for example, give William a dozen or twenty cubs with the blood of fire, no matter how poor Morris' aptitude is, she will become an extremely terrifying legendary warlock (of course, there will be some restrictions. However, it is beyond the understanding of the two).

William can almost imagine the "tragic end" of some vulnerable people being treated as breeding machines, and he doesn't want to live in such a "dark" life.

Morris looked at William who was stunned, and said with a charming smile: "Of course, what I said has a prerequisite, that is, both parties must be inheritors of the blood of fire, just like you and me." His face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "These things I said are the secrets of our Fire Clan, you must not reveal them, otherwise you will be the one who will cause trouble and bad luck."

William felt that his throat was a little dry, and he took a few deep breaths and said harshly: "What you said is too outrageous! It's really unbelievable. I mean, if what you said is true , then how did you end up in this situation, is it difficult to have a baby?"

Morris snorted and said, "It's easy to say, do you think that the inheritors of the blood of fire are everywhere? Nowadays, most of the pyromancers are of mixed blood such as dragon veins or fire elves. I am in the Northland After so many years of mixing, I can count the inheritors of the bloodline of fire I have seen on one hand. The most terrible thing is the restriction of bloodline titles. Male inheritors are okay, except for the difficulty of promotion, there is not much restriction; only women Bloodline inheritors, it is said that they were restricted by the gods a long time ago. Unless the bloodline title of the male inheritor is higher than that of the female, the gift of continuing the offspring will not come. The bloodline inheritors I have met before are all 'hidden It's the first time I've encountered someone like you."

William forced a smile, and said, "Why do I sound so awkward, like a selection of pigs. Hey! What do you mean by the blood title?"

Morris leaned over to entangle William again, leaned her face against William's arms and took a deep breath, and said in an intoxicated voice: "The title of bloodline refers to the inheritance of the bloodline of fire in our body. It is said that there is a hidden danger. There are four grades of fire, micro-flame, Hanyan, and Liyi. Except for the more common "hidden fire", "micro-flame" has appeared several times in female bloodline inheritors for thousands of years, and the other two titles are just legends That's all."

"However, it stands to reason that the proportion of male inheritors with higher bloodline titles should be higher. I used to suspect that someone deliberately hid the truth. Now after seeing you, I finally understand that my guess was correct. Behind the powerful female warlocks who have left a great reputation in history, there must be a man with the title of high blood. Little William, be my man! Let us build a huge family of warlocks. What is the Huber family? Silver-haired sisters What is it? Just give me time, and we will become the new kings of the Northland! Just like those kings in history."

William looked coldly at the maddened sorceress, and said, "Ma'am, your delusions are too much, and I'm not interested in getting involved in such troublesome games." William pushed Morris away, Warlock turned around with surprised eyes and was about to leave.

Morris smiled and said, "William, are you dissatisfied? You must know that it is very difficult for the male warlocks of our Fire Clan to advance. It is not easy for you to achieve a career alone. We."

William shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in what you said. Besides, who told you that I'm a warlock? Remember! I'm a warrior, a swordsman who walks alone. You'd better look for something like a breeding machine. Others go." William walked away shaking his head like a "proud duck".
