Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 499 Method
There is no doubt that the derivatives were persuaded. After those words were spoken, they all agreed to Noshir's request and expressed their willingness to do their utmost to assist him in restraining the nearly 7000 derivatives present. Not only them, but also the hundreds of derivatives in the surrounding iron cages who heard Noshir's words were persuaded and joined the action one after another.

This is undoubtedly a good start. Although the hundreds of newly joined derivatives are not worthy of full trust, their joining has greatly alleviated the problem of insufficient manpower. Although this number is still impossible to directly control all the derivatives, this problem is not unsolvable for Noshil.

The first is the Scepter of Sorrow in his right hand. This scepter is indeed as Asdalen said, it has the powerful ability to control the life and death of all derivatives. With such ability, any riot will be completely suppressed before it begins. It can be said that it is the fundamental guarantee for Noshil to achieve control.

But unfortunately, it was not until he got the scepter that Noshil discovered that the scepter had flaws, and its biggest flaw was that its use was very limited, because the scepter strictly stipulated that only Kazador himself, or his descendants with Kazador's bloodline, could activate the power of the scepter and control the life and death of all derivatives except Kazador himself.

Because of this, this restriction locked Noshir's right to use it. After all, he didn't have Cazador's blood in his body, nor was he a vampire derivative transformed by him. It was impossible for him to use even a little bit of the power of this staff... if he didn't have the panel.

Yes, through the power of the panel! Noshier found a way to bypass this restriction! And this method is to directly wear Kazador himself on this staff! Let him and the staff always maintain zero-distance negative contact, so that it can always remain in the activated state! And in this state, the staff can be used by any intelligent life form!

Including Kazador himself, but Noshir had found a perfect angle with the help of the panel, and pierced Kazador's throat and part of his brain nerves with the staff, using physical means to block his ability to give orders to the staff.

Noshier's action also turned Cazador into a completely controllable plug-in wetware, acting as a car key, allowing the staff to be used normally.

Of course, unless it is absolutely necessary, Noshir would never rashly use the function of this staff, because its function is to directly designate all derivatives in an area to self-destruct.

Unless you are very familiar with the target you want to kill, it is impossible to control this thing precisely. This means that once Noshil really uses this thing, it may cause a riot among all the derivatives, but this is completely contrary to his purpose. Therefore, in addition to this staff, Noshil also has to prepare many backup auxiliary means.

His first step was to find a way to get blood that could temporarily feed these nearly 7000 derivatives before the cold wind completely invaded Baldur's Gate, so that they could be well fed and watered, and thus they could control their hunger for blood for a period of time.

Preliminary preparations like this are very necessary. After all, sending nearly 7000 derivatives into the Underdark is undoubtedly a very huge project, and such a huge project cannot be completed hastily in a short period of time.

Noshir knew that these imprisoned derivatives had all been tortured by endless hunger for countless years. Although they were not driven completely crazy by the endless time and hunger due to their undead nature and toughness as vampires, they were only a step away from madness.

If we don't hurry to feed them and call back their sanity, and just release them all, it will definitely develop into a major disaster that will sweep across Baldur's Gate. Fortunately, there is still some time before the real winter comes, and during this time, the large fishing fleet in the Gray Harbor will continue to travel for at least another week.

Fleets like this would occasionally capture some large marine creatures, such as sharks and seals, which they would drag into the dock of Gray Harbor to skin and bleed. All Noshir had to do was pay a few more gold coins to collect all the unwanted blood.

Although the blood collected in this way might still not be enough, Noshil knew that those large fleets would deliberately capture some particularly large sea monsters in extremely rare cases. These extremely rare cases, apart from the Midsummer Festival and the Shield Festival, would be before, during, or even after the Moon Feast.

Hunting sea monsters is a very dangerous act. Even if they set out several months in advance, the fleet may not be able to hunt their desired prey when they return. But as long as they can successfully drag a particularly large sea monster to the port during the days of the Moon Feast, it is undoubtedly a good start. Any fleet that can accomplish such a feat will greatly increase their popularity in the coming year and will also attract more businessmen to cooperate with them. It can be said that there are many benefits.

As far as Noshir knew, the fleet that went out hunting at sea in Baldur's Gate this year had not returned yet, but based on their record of not coming back empty-handed for three consecutive years, Noshir felt that it was still worth looking forward to.

As long as the fleet can hunt a sea monster, there is no need to worry about the blood problem. However, if they fail, then Noshir will have to work harder and go to several slaughterhouses in the outer city to buy some livestock blood from butchers.

Although this is a bit troublesome, as long as you work hard, you can still gather enough. After all, this period is the time when the most livestock are slaughtered in Baldur's Gate. Preparing food before the arrival of winter is a fine tradition in Faerun. Noshier was lucky and happened to catch up with this period.

Noshir informed the others of his plan, and after a brief discussion, Asdalen and the others all agreed to this approach. Although their poor compatriots would have to endure for a few more days, this was also to ensure the smooth progress of the subsequent migration.

Just like that, everything started to go according to Noshir's expectations. During this time, Asdeln and his six brothers kept visiting various cages, announcing Noshir's plan and trying to gain their support.

Their operation was not particularly smooth, and there were many twists and turns during the process. Almost the vast majority of the derivatives still remembered them, the swindlers, and looked at them with hatred. There was also a small number of people who were completely tortured by hunger and thirst and gave up thinking, and just wanted to lie quietly in the cell and rot. However, with their hard work in visiting, sincere persuasion, and the encouragement of Cazador's half-dead body, the vast majority of the derivatives agreed to the plan and told them that they were willing to cooperate.

Indeed, they hated Asdalen and other liars who dragged them into the abyss, but they hated the mastermind behind all of this even more, Cazador, who would come here from time to time, bring a new compatriot here, and humiliate and mock them!
