I Became the Progenitor Vampire-Chapter 161 - 162: The Scent of Death

Chapter 161: Chapter 162: The Scent of Death

Lide had been contemplating since he left the Dawn Church.

It could be said that the development of the Dawn Sect had truly gotten off to a good start.

Level 6 Divine Priest Nilo, Level 15 Shadow High Priest Emi, plus two girls who had just become Level 2 Priests, now the Dawn Church had initially acquired its own power.

The other two Level 2 Priests couldn’t bear it after he bestowed two spells on each, far from achieving the unaffected state of Nilo after accepting fifteen mages.

However, it had no major impact, now he just needed to continue preaching until everyone in Dawn City believed in the Dawn Sect, and the Power of Faith would inevitably experience a surge in growth.

By then, he wouldn’t have to be so meticulous in planning how to spend the Power of Faith.

...

Moreover, for now, the potential of the Dawn Sect had not yet been fully tapped.

Those powerful divines had tens of millions of believers, especially the ancient Divine, Life Goddess, who had up to hundreds of millions of believers.

To become a sect that could compete with those divinities, a lot of time was needed for development.

Fortunately, the geographical location of Dawn City meant it was destined not to suffer much interference and invasion in the future.

He still had plenty of time.

After returning to the City Hall, Lide called Harrison to inquire about the breeding farm.

One must eat food one bite at a time, and handle matters one at a time.

Preaching is a long process, not to be rushed.

There was a lot of work to be busy with in Dawn City now, with the first major area being agriculture; spring wheat had been planted in March, and come July to August, the first harvest would be met.

The importance of food was beyond doubt, and all work this year would revolve around food, so this could not be slackened.

The second major area was the construction of the Mage Tower; the Mage Tower was related to future power, in a world of magic, magic always ranked first among all forms of military power.

The earlier the Mage Tower was established, the faster low-level Bloodline members and talented humans could systematically learn magic.

Priority ranked second.

Third, the Dawn Sect,

Fourth, the breeding farm.

There was no need to say more about these two; both were indispensable.

Each of these major projects was very important, but only the breeding farm’s progress could be accelerated, the others couldn’t be hastened.

“Clan Leader, the water pipes for the breeding farm have all been connected and officially put into use.

Currently, we’ve captured 2000 boars from the Dawn Plains, and 4000 wild buffalo have also been captured and distributed to the residents.

Moreover, we have hundreds of wild horses and wild sheep.

We predict that by October, once the workers have mastered the breeding techniques, the farm can operate at full capacity”

Lide nodded, the breeding farm had been developing orderly, hardly facing any major problems.

“How is the expansion of the Magic Language Bat Clan going?”

“Viscount Dylan has already started it, but to see results, we’ll have to wait until around October.

The growth cycle of Magic Language Bats isn’t long, but fully activating the bloodline hidden within their bodies still takes some time.”

Lide slightly smiled, very satisfied with this.

The breeding farm was already built, and the expansion of the Magic Language Bats had not been delayed, achieving success in both areas.

The wild beasts of the Dawn Plains were sufficient for the expansion of the Magic Language Bat population to thousands.

He had already ordered Dylan, before the Frost Month arrived, to expand the current population of less than 500 Magic Language Bats to 1000.

He anticipated snatching back a minimum of 20,000 people this winter.

Without a sufficient number of Magic Language Bats, it would be very difficult to accomplish this arduous task.

“Very good, fully cooperate with Dylan’s work, I hope to see the number of Magic Language Bats I desire, flying in the sky of Dawn City during the Frost Month.”

“As you wish.”

“Moreover, we must not neglect the other projects, especially agriculture. We need to plant as much food as possible.

With the arrival of a large new population after the Frost Month, I want you to start preparing for this now. The tasks for this year will only be heavier.”

Lide spoke with a serious tone. He always felt a sense of urgency, not only because the players’ arrival on the attribute panel was drawing closer, but also due to an indescribable worry.

It seemed that the future would not be as stable as the present. The sudden invasion by the Beastmen last year had given him a sense of a different atmosphere.

Therefore, he dared not stop. He could only strive to strengthen Dawn City.

No matter what changes might occur in the future, personal strength was the only way to respond.

Moreover, the unpredictable changes that future players would bring, even though he no longer worried as he had at the beginning about the players’ arrival, he never underestimated the players’ ability to cause trouble.

How big a storm can a butterfly’s wings cause? No one could be certain.

However, it was also good that Dawn City was now on the right track; it only needed to develop according to his established plan.

It wouldn’t be long before he would fear no challenges.

“Harrison, I need to return to Green City for a while; I’ll leave this place in your hands,”

“Yes, Ancestor Crown.”

Harrison bowed slightly, without any objection.

The advantage built by Lide at the Crimson Mage Tower was exactly what would ensure the rapid development of Dawn City, so neither side could be neglected.

He had been away long enough. Although Spark was looking after things and Vina was managing, it wasn’t good to be without a central figure for a long time.

After taking care of some trivial matters, Lide returned to Green City, and by the time he got back to the Crimson Mage Tower, it was already the next morning.

Standing in front of the Crimson Mage Tower, looking at the manor that resembled a small city, Lide’s eyes flickered with satisfaction.

Because it produced magic scrolls, the Crimson Mage Tower had now become the very definition of wealthy.

To produce more magic scrolls, the number of recruited Mage Apprentices had reached an astonishing 500. To protect the production secrets of the magic scrolls, the surrounding area had been encircled.

Now the Crimson Mage Tower had truly become an independent little kingdom, and he was the king of this kingdom.

The huge surrounding walls were five blades high, and so exaggerated that people could stand on them.

The walls, coated with red alchemy materials, emitted fluctuations of magic power. Such massive walls were equipped with alchemy traps and magic arrays.

Even an army attack would find it hard to break through these solid defenses within a short time.

The small square formerly in front of the Crimson Mage Tower had also become territory that could only be entered internally,

Lide stood on the street outside, looking at the scene in front of him with a great sense of accomplishment.

More than half a year ago, this was just a normal Mage Tower with 22 Mage Apprentices and a monthly income of a few dozen Gold Pucks.

It was unremarkable within Green City.

But now, the Crimson Mage Tower had become a power that no one could afford to ignore.

Not only because of Great Mage Spark’s presence but also due to the strength demonstrated by the Crimson Mage Tower itself.

By leveraging magic scrolls, under Vina’s management, the Crimson Mage Tower had already established a vast business cooperation alliance in this period.

Many matters could be resolved easily without the Crimson Mage Tower intervening directly, arguably more than ten times stronger than the initial small Mage Tower that had to negotiate door-to-door for food purchases.

Just as Lide stood at the entrance of the Mage Tower, about to step through the door,

A sudden change occurred.

Cold, bloody, cruel, destructive.

An indescribably brutal and chilling aura caused the hairs on his back to stand on end in an instant.

Even as the Blood Clan Ancestor, at that moment, he sensed the scent of death.

His entire being crazily warned him!

Danger!!
