After Diablo achieved victory in the Black Lava Dukedom, he disappeared for a period of time. It was not until the Darkness invasion that he reappeared and took up arms to protect his nation.
But during the few months that he disappeared.
He used the clues that he had found over the years and a few memories that he had when he was young to find his hometown.
The East Sea Metropolis!
It was not a nation, but a neutral territory. It was bordered by the Emerald Grand Duchy in the west and the sea in the east. The territory was comparable to that of a small duchy, but it was not much weaker than a grand duchy. The only difference was that it had fewer residents.
Besides the largest East Sea Metropolis, there were many cities of various sizes in the territory. They were all his private territories.
Diablo's family was also a big family in the East Sea Metropolis.
He was loyal to Lord Bernard of the East Sea Metropolis. He was a long-lived Half-Elf. Not only was he powerful, but he also had many loyal subordinates.
But everything changed on a night 19 years ago. When a group of bats arrived, Diablo's life changed completely. His entire family died, and he was the only one who managed to escape. He wandered to the Black Lava Dukedom and became a wild child in the forest.
[Prompt: You have received a mission: The Past of Diablo's Family. He wants to find the truth behind the annihilation of his family, but he is not powerful enough and is unfamiliar with the East Sea Metropolis. He hopes that you can help him.]
[Prompt: The Past of Diablo's Family has a difficulty level of A +. When you complete this mission, you will obtain Diablo's eternal loyalty.]
[Prompt: Do you accept this mission?]
William looked at Diablo's expectant gaze and seemed to have thought of something.
He gladly accepted the mission.
"Thank you for your support and love, Your Highness. When do you intend to go to the East Sea Metropolis?" Diablo was anxious.
William shook his head and comforted him. "The East Sea Metropolis is not as simple as you think. We have to plan this matter carefully. I have obtained a lot of magical stones. You should improve your combat power first. "Even if we can find the truth, we need to avenge the annihilation of our family. You don't want me to avenge you, do you?"
Diablo looked at the handsome and gentle smile in front of him and shook his head. He was lost in the Lord's handsomeness again. He lowered his head and said, "Your Highness is right. It's best to be able to personally deal with my enemy. I'll go back and cultivate now. I was too impatient."
[Hint: The time limit for this mission is two years. If you exceed the time limit, Diablo will complete the mission on his own, and his loyalty to you will drop to the lowest level.]
William glanced at the affinity between the two of them. It had just increased and now had 730 points. He patted the latter's shoulder and said, "Go first. We'll talk about this later."
"Okay." Diablo clenched his fists and slowly left.
…
"Castellan Bernard of East Sea City, the past of the Diablo Family?" William narrowed his eyes. In his previous life, he had been to the East Sea Metropolis, but he had not completed the mission of the Diablo family.
In his previous life, Diablo had died in the war that destroyed the Black Lava Nation.
According to the mission information provided by Diablo, his family must have been attacked by vampires!
As for why Bernard, the Lord of the East Sea Castellan, didn't choose to take revenge and even let the Diablo Family perish, it was because Bernard wasn't a half-elf at all. He was also a vampire. The immortality of a half-elf was just a disguise!
One had to know.
Although the Blood Race was a creature of the continent, they were not considered as dark creatures. To the Humans, they were still terrifying creatures.
Because they fed on fresh blood.
Although they could survive on any kind of blood, the Blood Race drank blood like how Humans ate food. They could fill their stomachs with simple food, but wouldn't delicacies taste better?
The delicacies of the Blood Race were not the blood of animals or magical beasts. They were human blood.
The ranking of the vampire's food was: Dragon blood, Elf blood, Winged blood, Human blood, and magical beast blood.
It was a pity that the Winged and Elves were few in number and extremely powerful. Even if the Blood Race dared to attack them, they could only do it secretly. They were afraid of being destroyed.
Therefore, they could only target the Humans. Therefore, the Blood Race who were doing well would usually keep many Humans as blood slaves.
In short, the Blood Race was very particular when it came to food. They could even study clearly which parts of a person's blood tasted good and which parts didn't …
As for the vampires who weren't doing well, they could only bite wild animals as food to satisfy their hunger.
After William received the mission, he almost understood how the Diablo family was destroyed!
It was very simple.
The Diablo Family had found out the truth of the matter. They were loyal to Bernard, a vampire. Although they might not have the intention to rebel, Bernard might not allow them to leave East Sea Metropolis.
After all, although the Temple of Light did not attack the vampires, there were many Blood Race members among the high-ranking members of the Palace of Darkness.
Both sides restrained themselves.
But the Blood Race who went overboard were still the targets of the Demon Hunters, Temple Knights, Priests, and even some rangers.
"Or maybe the Diablo family knew Bernard's identity a long time ago, but they participated in the 'Dragon's blood essence' incident. Then, the Blood Race of the Emerald Grand Duchy took revenge."
William scratched his head. "The Blood Race can't reproduce. They can only rely on 'The Embrace' to expand their population. Therefore, there are not many Blood Race members.
"Their strength and bloodline potential depend on how powerful the Blood Race member who gave The Embrace is.
"Usually, a Blood Race member with Legendary bloodline will become a vampire with Epic bloodline after giving The Embrace to a human.
"But every time The Embrace is used, the Blood Race member will consume a lot of blood essence.
"Therefore, they rarely use The Embrace unless they see a target that they really like or fancy."
"But the most fatal thing is that the bloodline potential of the vampires can be improved. As long as they devour other Blood Race members, they can slowly improve their bloodline potential and grow to a higher level. "This is the key reason why the Blood Race has been fighting amongst themselves."
William gradually understood the Blood Race. The destruction of the Diablo family must have been due to their participation in the internal war of the Blood Race.
As for the real reason, William had to go to the East Sea Metropolis to find out the truth.
But the most likely reason was the 'Blood Dragon's blood essence' incident!
Otherwise, looking at the bloodline potential of Diablo, it would be clear that his family was extremely powerful. How could they have fallen so easily?
"This matter can't be rushed. I have to reach the Grandmaster level first. Otherwise, I have to be close to it." William was currently only at level 86. He still needed tens of millions of experience points to reach level 100.
In the first two versions, the players could level up by one level in each version.
But in the next version.
The players could only level up by one level in at least two versions.
And there was a huge dividing line between Advanced and Grandmaster. Oh, it was similar to the Battle Emperor and Battle Grandmaster?
"Pom, pom, pom!"
William heard another knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Sorimas walked in and grinned while rubbing his hands. "Your Highness, do you think that the Druid occupation needs to be expanded on a large scale?"
"Oh … I'm afraid that if we exploit them too much, the little sheep will quit the game."
"What?" Sorimas asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing. Go and spread the Druid doctrine. I'll arrange it for you." William nodded nonchalantly. Anyway, he was going to fleece the sheep. It did not matter what occupation he used. As long as he had all the secret manuals, it was enough.
William looked at the joyful Sorimas as he left. He suddenly thought of something. Wasn't Sorimas an Archdruid? He was a Grandmaster mage. When William went to the East Sea Metropolis, he could definitely let Sorimas tag along.
After all, although Sorimas was a magician, after he transformed into a silver-backed monkey, he would be a super meat shield. When that time came, how many stinky bats could withstand him?
Or rather, how many bats could he withstand?
Or rather, how many bats could he withstand!
For a moment, William had many ideas in his mind. He would go to the East Sea Metropolis after some time.
Sorimas also felt a chill down his spine. He knew that his proposal to expand the Druid occupation would definitely make William think of him again!
