Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 182 High Elves?!

"I probably understand."

After looking at the map, Killian nodded. To him, it didn't really matter how big the sphere of influence of the people of Wangbo Port was. As long as he could figure out the cause and effect, he would be considered successful.

He was just a messenger. If he could figure things out and return alive, he would have completed his mission perfectly.

Right now, the people in Magrath Province are still completely clueless about the situation here, so getting this information back would be a great achievement.

"That"

Killian opened his mouth and thought of some additional conditions in his mission, such as whether he could release the prisoners he had captured before and whether he could recover some of the previous losses as much as possible.
How should I put it? Killian really didn't know how to start, because these conditions were extremely unreasonable at first glance, even a little whimsical. I don't know which bastard had imposed them. Fortunately, they didn't become a mandatory task.

Just think about it, how could they possibly spit out something they've already eaten? If they couldn't get it on the battlefield, why would they think they could get it at the negotiation table?!

"Why? Envoy Killian, do you have any questions about this?"

Seeing Killian's hesitation, Uther asked with some confusion.

Is it because they have a problem with Wangbo Port's sphere of influence? Are they so reckless? Having already suffered so much, do they really have to fight them to the bitter end?

"Governor, I would like to ask if you have any slaves, prisoners of war, or anything like that for sale? Are there any unwanted ships?"

In the end, Killian finally spoke up. Of course, he couldn't just ask the other party to return the prisoners of war or something like that, as that was unrealistic, but it would be fine if he could redeem them with money.

After hearing what Killian said, Uther immediately understood what he meant.

"I'm sorry, but Wangbo Port doesn't own any slaves, nor does it hold slaves. We don't have any prisoners of war or ships for sale. The people of Wangbo Port love peace, won't wage wars arbitrarily, and won't enslave others."

Uther spoke, immediately extinguishing all of Killian's hopes. It was impossible for Wangbo Port to hand over those who were already part of Wangbo Port, and it was even more impossible to hand over these ships, even if money was used to redeem them.

Killian sighed. Things were just as he thought. How could he spit out something that was already in his mouth?

"I understand."

Killian naturally had no choice but to accept this answer. He had originally tried it with the mentality of "just in case it works", so he was not too disappointed.

"If there is nothing else, please feel free to do as you please."

Uther raised his hand, signaling Killian to speak up if he had something to say, and get out of here if not.

"Governor, I come with the goodwill and gifts of Magrath, hoping to establish friendly relations with you."

Killian spoke up and said that he did bring some gifts, which were not expensive, but they somewhat represented a gesture of friendship. Duke Durham really did not intend to confront these people anymore.

"Wangbo Port welcomes any friendly friends."

Uther said that if the Magrath Province wanted to write off everything that had happened in the past, then Wangbo Port would naturally accept it, since they were not the ones who had suffered losses before.

Everyone's original intention was to come to the New World to create wealth. Magrath felt that there was no need to fight to the death with Wangbo Port. The losses were so huge and nothing was gained. Was there any need to add fuel to the fire?

Last time, Duke Durham was actually still very unconvinced, so he organized the "Magras Expeditionary Force", but this time, the "Magras Expeditionary Force" was completely wiped out, and Duke Durham really had no temper anymore.

At this moment, Duke Drum Magrath had only one thought in his mind: "Is reconciliation possible?"

The answer is of course yes. There is no deep hatred between Wangbo Port and Magras. Wangbo Port has always had the upper hand in several conflicts and has made a lot of money.

If you get the benefits, you should stop while you are ahead. If the Magras Province is really pushed into a corner, it will also bring a huge crisis to Wangbo Port.

If one thing goes wrong, the entire empire might be brought down.

Karen doesn't want to confront the entire empire directly for the time being. Wangbo Port is still too weak now and is completely supported by him. If it weren't for him, Wangbo Port would have been eaten to the bone.

Although Wangbo Port has a certain self-defense capability after Werner's joining, it is still far from the level of a province and the entire empire.

The conversation between Uther and Killian ended quickly. After reaching some basic consensus, Killian left the Governor's Mansion. He felt that he had completed his mission very well.

Outside the Governor's Mansion, Drake was still accompanying Killian.

"Want to take a look around our place?"

Derek looked at Killian and asked.

Killian looked surprised at this, and then he immediately replied, "I'd love to!"

Killian was a little surprised that the people of Wangbo Port would actually allow him to walk around and take a look here. Aren’t they afraid at all that he would see the real situation here?

"No need for that. I definitely won't show you our secret agency."

Derek spoke with a half-smile and teased Killian, saying that it was just a stroll in the city and nothing serious.

"Hahaha."

Killian smiled awkwardly. It made sense. Since people let him go shopping, they naturally weren't afraid of him finding out anything.

But Killian was satisfied with just this. He needed more "topics to talk about" and needed to know more about the "Wangbo Port" force.

Under Drake's leadership, Killian began to wander around Wangbo Port.

The more Killian walked in Wangbo Port, the more he was shocked by the cleanliness and tidiness of the city. It was obvious that this city had paid special attention to this aspect since its establishment.

“It’s really rare.”

Killian sighed. He originally wanted to say that it was really hard to understand, but he felt that it was a bit inappropriate, so he quickly changed it.

"But don't you think this is comfortable?"

Drake smiled, naturally understanding what Killian meant.

"Of course, this is simply wonderful. If only all rulers and nobles could be as selfless as Governor Uther of Wangbo Port."

Killian nodded. Although he'd always found it incredible and strange, it was ultimately because the job was done so well. It wasn't because of Uther, the Governor, or Port Wangbo, but because no one else was capable of such a feat. When a strange flower sprouts from the mud, it's natural for people to misunderstand it and find it strange. But to criticize it as a bad thing is simply out of jealousy.

Drake was also very surprised at first, but now he has gotten used to it. Many of Wangbo Port's policies are different from those of the outside world. The biggest difference is that Wangbo Port treats people as people, not property. Although it sounds strange to say this, it is indeed the case.

Maybe it is true that only people who live a good life can produce high-quality blood?
As a registered reserve vampire, Drake had obviously begun to think from the perspective of a vampire. This was not difficult for him to adapt to. As an "abandoned person", becoming a vampire was the highest reward for him.

Drake took Killian for a stroll in Wangbo Harbor, visiting the administrative area, residential area, and even the labor area.

The working area is not very tidy, and has a strong smell of fish and blood. After all, they have to deal with all kinds of blood, flesh and fur, which is inevitable. But at least it is "clean and hygienic" and does not make people feel that it is very dirty.

The people of Wangbo Port were a little timid about Killian's appearance. They even avoided him and did not dare to look at Killian and the two guards behind him.

Because most of them were slaves brought here by the Magrath people, and Killian and the two guards all had the Magrath family crest on their bodies. The black background with a leaping yellow elk was the symbol of hell in their eyes.

The people of Wangbo Port were filled with immense fear. They were not afraid when fighting with the Magras Province. In fact, they all fought bravely, hoping to protect Wangbo Port and repel the Magras attacks.

But when the Magras family appeared in Wangbo Port openly, they were terrified. They were afraid that Wangbo Port would compromise and that they would be sent back to Magras as slaves again.

However, apart from the timid and fearful former slaves, there are also people in Wangbo Port who do not care about these Magras people. These are either veteran immigrants who came with Uther or came from other immigration areas. They have nothing to do with the Magras people, so they naturally are not afraid of people like Killian.

The players naturally had the strangest and most outstanding behavior. They were particularly curious about this group of Magrath people.

"Isn't this someone from the Elk family? Is he here to negotiate?"

[Tengu is not a dog] pointed at Killian and chatted with the new members of the construction team around him.

"It seems they are here for peace talks. Someone saw them unloading a lot of gifts from the ship and sending them to the Governor's Palace."

The newcomer next to him replied, "Then let me ask you." As soon as the group landed, some players came over to watch out of curiosity.

Never underestimate the curiosity of players. They are paying special attention to this sudden incident. Some people have been guarding the side of the ship, and some have been following Killian, just to see if there is any special plot.

There is no way around it. The plot of this game is automatically calculated. If you miss it, you really miss it. You have to dig everything out by yourself. There are no task hints at all.

"Who are these people?"

Being followed and pointed at all the time, if Killian wasn't blind, he would be able to notice those players.

"Oh, strangers, don't pay attention to them. They will leave when they get bored. Don't worry, they are harmless. They are just curious about you, a stranger."

Of course, Drake had noticed those guys a long time ago, but he had become accustomed to the presence of these increasing number of foreigners.

“So there are strangers here too?”

Killian had an expression of sudden enlightenment. If it was a foreigner, it would be easy to understand. There were foreigners in the province of Magrath.

But in fact, Killian himself had never encountered this. Although he was an illegitimate child, he was at least a legalized illegitimate child and could touch the edge of aristocratic society. In theory, a legalized illegitimate child like him even had the right of inheritance.

Of course, whether you can actually get it in the end depends on your own ability. Only if you are capable enough can you snatch the inheritance from other "brothers". Killian is still in the period of accumulating capital and does not have an advantage, otherwise he would not take this job.

Following the player, Drake took Killian to the new residential area, and then Killian was stunned.

"Wait a minute! Mr. Drake, this is..."

Killian's face was filled with shock, his gaze fixed on the group of high elves.

"Oh, this is our new residential area, inhabited by high elves."

Drake looked calm and said that this was a common occurrence.

"You said all the people living here are High Elves?!"

Killian cried out in shock.

"Of course, this is only part of it. There are still more high elves who have not arrived yet."

Derek waved his hand, signaling Killian not to make a fuss.

"."

It was hard for Killian not to be surprised. He never expected that there were so many high elves living in Wangbo Port.

At first glance, this residential area is not smaller than the human residential area, and it even seems to be expanding. This is enough to prove that Drake's statement has a certain degree of credibility.

"These are the high elves of Silverleaf Harbor in the south. They have become part of us and will march with us as pioneers for the king."

Derek continued to speak, and his words made Killian's mouth open wide, his expression completely out of control, or rather, Killian had given up control.

"Silverleaf Harbor?"

This new term filled Killian with confusion. How did another Silverleaf Port appear? Could this be the reason why Wangbo Port was able to defeat the "Magrath Expeditionary Force"?

Up to now, apart from Drake and his men, Killian has not seen any other military forces of Wangbo Port. Moreover, based on the population size of Wangbo Port that he has estimated, he finds it hard to believe that Wangbo Port can defeat the "Magras Expeditionary Force."

But the appearance of these high elves made Killian seem to understand that humans were not the only ones living in Port Wangbo, and that it was not necessarily humans who defeated the "Magrath Expeditionary Force".

I have to say, although he made some mistakes, Killian actually found the correct answer.

"Drake, who is this?"

The arrival of Killian and Drake caught the attention of Okanina Yinye, and she came over and asked.

Okanina Silverleaf looked at the family crest on Drake. She actually didn't find the emblem unfamiliar. Most of the caravans from the Magrath Province of the Human Empire had this family crest. This was the family crest of Dram Magrath.

"Miss Okanina, this is Mr. Killian Perrin, the special envoy from Magrath."

Drake introduced Okanina Yinye, then he looked at Killian and found that Killian's expression was obviously stunned.
