"I do own this sword...but..." Kasek stared at the other party at this moment. "But that was not a magic weapon, not even a magic weapon. Why are you interested in it?"

"Because I heard that it has always been stained with the vampire queen's blood and has not been washed away." Cade smiled slightly. "I'll tell you clearly. I am a magician. I am pursuing a way to allow humans to obtain immortality, but without being cursed by blood sucking... and the queen's blood is a very valuable research material."

"Ah...hahaha..." Kasek suddenly burst into laughter. "You shouldn't have heard rumors, saying that drinking the blood of vampires will become vampires or something? If a vampire could be created so simply, then we would not win the battle of Karaian! Karaian only had more than a thousand vampires, which caused more than 100,000 casualties in the coalition forces. If the Queen could really create vampires in this way, then she could have hundreds or even thousands of vampires overnight. How could Karaian be captured? Besides, the blood on my sword had already dried up. Even if there was any magic power, it would have disappeared long ago."

"Maybe that's the case." Cade replied calmly. "But there are some things you may not understand... The vampire's blood does have the power of their immortal life! If you want to solve the mystery of vampires' eternal life, blood is the only key. Although this legend seems absurd, according to my research, this may be the truth!"

"You mean..."

"Of course, the blood on your sword is meaningless. It has dried up long ago and can only be used as research material." Cade replied. "But that legend may be true. If humans drink the blood of vampires, they can indeed become vampires."

"Tsk..." Kasek snorted disdainfully, he disdained to continue discussing this issue with Cade. "It doesn't matter what. If you can solve the problem of Baron Pinot Vampire, it doesn't matter if I give you that sword." When Kasek thought of leaving the huge bounty, he didn't mind the small collection at all.

"Okay, then we'll make up," replied Cade. "I'll help you solve the trouble caused by Baron Pinold, and you... give me that sword."

"No problem! But, how do you help me? You are already confident of killing that vampire? But this is not enough. We must completely eliminate the vampire's power, his undead legion, and his men. Only in this way can I hand over the sword to you."

"Okay! It's a matter of determination!" Cade replied with a smile. Of course, he knew there were no vampires to kill. "But I have to rely on your troops."

"With my troops?" A trace of vigilance flashed in Kasek's eyes. "Why should I believe you?"

"Because I..." Cadet paused for a moment, and then told the truth. "It has been a long time since he sneaked into the vampire rebels..." He stared at Kasek, and from Kasek's face, he knew that he had succeeded.

The shadow brought by Baron Pinold was too heavy, and Kasek desperately hoped to get rid of the threat. Even if he felt that it was not very good, he would agree to take a risk to take a gamble.

...

Cade walked out of the gate. Outside the gate, his loyal servant was waiting for him with his horse. He turned over the horse and the two walked out. It was dinner time, and Meno was not a big city (in fact, even a small city was barely enough), and the road was empty and there was no pedestrian.

"Sir, is it going well?" The servant asked with his own initiative as he looked at the surroundings.

"It's OK." Cade looked at the sky and convinced Kasek to spend a whole half of a day. If everything was planned, he could get the sword in more than ten days. Hopefully the sword with residual blood had this value.

Thinking of this, he felt a burst of anger in his chest. Those two damn kids actually used this trick to deceive him, and they had been cheating him for more than a year! And Fuze was the same! But he no longer had to think about the latter anymore. Instead, the remaining kid named Neil must use some method to torture him! Maybe he should chop off his hands and let him eat it after it is cooked!

"Casek is just a vulgar man," Cade returned. "He knew the absurdity of the legend, but did not further study the hidden secrets. But it is no wonder that 'you can become a vampire by drinking the blood of a vampire'. This kind of rumors spreading everywhere have become the best cover for the truth. Is there any lie that a little bit of mind and rational person can expose. Is there any better disguise in the world than this kind of thing?"

When he said this, he noticed the servant's slightly hesitant look.

"Do you doubt it too?" he asked.

"I do... do... feel... if it's true, as the Lord said, then why does Kaleyan have only a thousand vampires? Even if it's because of arrogance and some kind of dominance strategy, why didn't the number of vampires increase rapidly after the war begins? Even the losses in the war cannot be quickly compensated."

"I don't know," Cade replied. "The only thing I can be sure of is that the blood of vampires does contain the origin of their lives. I am not sure whether drinking vampires' blood will be effective now, but the blood of vampires will definitely be needed as a medium in the ritual of transforming humans into vampires. You shouldn't question the achievements of my decades of hard research, right?"

"Of course not!"

"Well, although I didn't see Baron Pinold this time, if I could get the sword that was once stained with the blood of the vampire queen, I would not have been in vain." Cade's anger gradually faded away, turning into a smile full of contempt and sarcasm.

"But sir, the blood has dried up long ago, right? Is it still useful?"

"It's definitely not possible to use it directly. But it should be fine to use it for some experiments. No matter what, it can help me go further and maybe unlock the most critical secret."

"But sir, I think we should kill that Pete. You save his life like this. If he meets someone... your raid will probably fail."

"Then it will become a strong attack." A fierce light flashed across Cade's eyes. "Anyway, I know the situation on their side. No matter how you do it, you can't make any tricks."

...

"Master, we are almost here." Carrie said in her mind. Then the setting sun shines, and at this time, the distorted and shabby wall of Meno City could be seen from afar. Since taking over the excavation site from Cade, it seems that a long time has passed. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is only one or two months.

This search will finally have a result. Just tell Cade about the result of Hathel's death, and the following will be simple. Whether Pinold is a lie in disguise, where is he? All questions will have a result. No matter how delayed it, you can arrive at the rebel's nest tomorrow and see Cade.

"But Master, it may not be appropriate to go to Cade right now." In his mind, Carrie made a suggestion. "We should make the worst plan."

"The worst plan? What is the worst possibility?"

"The worst possible is that Baron Pinold is indeed hiding in his hiding place to recover from his injuries, and his injuries have basically healed. In order to protect himself, he has placed a small army in his hiding place, and he immediately wants to take your life when he sees you at first."

It's really the worst plan. But to be honest, what Carrie said is indeed possible.

"So what do you think you should do, Carrie?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"I suggest that it is better to prepare an army just in case."

"Where did I get the army?" Yes, there is a cemetery outside Meno City, but if he awakens the dead inside, it is equivalent to exposing himself to broad daylight. He is alone a traveler who can pretend to be an ordinary person and will not attract any unnecessary attention, and an undead legion is another matter. He is absolutely impossible to avoid experienced scouts.

"I have a suggestion," Carrie said softly in her mind. "Remember the exact map you got from Dr. Oliveira?"

Asu Ruffat took out the map as he said. To be honest, he had never looked at it carefully since he got the map. Now it seems that this map is worth the price of ten gold coins. Dr. Oliveira depicts the terrain of Sivania with the unique rigor and conscientiousness of scholars. In fact, this map is too detailed, not only cities, villages, forests, rivers, mountains, etc., but also a large number of ancient ruins (no doubt, these places are the places where the doctor's archaeology are). All those places that have not been visited have been drawn in detail. If this place is not arrived, a complete explanation will be given in the instruction manual.

Even the ancient tomb that was used as a base before the rebels were marked on the map. Oliveira was indeed a real scholar and drawing master.

Asu Ruffatt read it carefully. Although he admired Oliveira's scholarly style, to be honest, he still didn't understand why Carrie asked him to see this map.

"Look, right here, where we are..." Carrie explained. "Walking here, there is an ancient tomb group. And it is a noble tomb group. You know, the ancient tombs of Sivania have always been unattended."

Indeed, if it were a modern tomb group, it would probably be harassed by tomb robbers. Unfortunately, the custom of burying the dead in ancient Sivania was relatively conservative. Although these ancient people built magnificent tombs at the top of hills, deep in dense forests, and on the top of the mountains to bury their nobles and leaders, the objects of burial were not gold, silver and treasures, but armor and weapons of the dead. The ancients dressed up their dead leaders as they held ceremonies, put on the full set of armor they used during their lifetime, and placed carefully selected weapons such as swords, battle axes or spears in the palm of the dead. These weapons and armors may have been quite valuable back then, but now they have been rusted and mottled by the years of erosion. However, it is precisely because of this that, except for the necessary excavation in archaeology, no idiot would harass these dead people.

"Carrie, you mean..."
