"Because I think...human life is too short." Ash Rufate replied.

He had long considered this excuse carefully. According to his understanding in the past few days, the reason why many people defect to Baron Pinold is mainly because of their longing for eternal life. Life is only a hundred years, and when the deadline is approaching, no matter how much power, how much wealth, no matter what kind of reluctance and nostalgia, people will die. This is a cruel but undeniable fact.

In the known world, there seems to be only one way for humans to fight death. Even the church has to admit that vampires have the power of immortality.

Kalean has long been completely destroyed, and all the knowledge and records related to vampires have been burned under the strict supervision of the church. How did humans become vampires? Why did they obtain immortality? What are the process and details of the transformation? The mystery has been buried with Kalean. In the eyes of the world, Baron Pinold is the last master of the mystery of eternal life. This can easily explain why so many humans are willing to serve vampires. What they desire is this secret. Perhaps after being recognized by Baron Pinold, vampires will share this secret of eternal life with them.

The pale young man squirted his hands uneasily, and the man named Cade showed a sneer on his lips.

"I want to see the Baron." Ashu Rufate asked.

"Just you?" Cade really sneered loudly this time. "Just come out so straightforward to see the Baron? You are not one of us yet! It's not too late to make this request after you become one of us."

Of course, Ashu Rufate did not expect his request to be met. Although Baron Pinold has gathered a considerable degree of power, he should be very careful about his safety.

"You want to join us?" This time the young man was talking.

"You are all servants of Baron Pinold, are you?" In Kalean, vampires are nobles, so the identities of these humans should be servants of Baron Pinold - of course, it is also impossible to understand "subjects". "I ask to join."

None of the three answered. The pale young man seemed to have pale, Neil lowered his head, and Cade's face was unstable.

"Do you want to join?" Cade replied at the end. "Since you are not a spy from the church or someone, it is not necessary to join you. But first of all, you must prove your usefulness. Fortunately, there is such a chance right now."

The young man seemed to want to say something, but he still didn't say it in the end.

"Wait a minute, this is too dangerous..." He heard Neil whisper at Cade. Their voices were very light, and if Ashu Rufate was an ordinary human, he would definitely not be able to hear clearly.

"That's why it's suitable to hand it over to this newcomer. Although he is not a spy from the church, God knows what his plan is. You must know that some people want to follow the baron, and some people want the baron's life! Such guys who want to become heroes are everywhere. At least this Ash Rufate can't trust at the moment."

The dispute quickly came to an end, Neil stopped opposing and Cade won.

"You can tell that you are a warrior. And you just arrived in Sivania, and you are still a naughty face." Cade sat firmly and said with a calm expression in his pretended manner. "So you are very suitable for doing things that we are not suitable for."

Ashu Rufate didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"This is the thing, we have a few people out there in the excavation site, with them at the center, and we will have an important action in the near future."

"Important action?"

"Yes." Cade picked up a letter from the table. The letter was originally placed in the center of the table, in front of the young and old who had not spoken. "Hold this letter." Cade waved his hand, and the letter flew towards Ashu Rufate and was caught.

Judging from the feel of the letter, there is only one piece of unfolded paper in the letter, which means a very short letter.

"Take this letter and go to the excavator to find a man named 'White Bear'. Then follow his orders - he will tell you what to do next. If you successfully complete this work, then we will admit that you are joining."

"Where is the excavation site?" Ashu Rufate asked. He now knows that the so-called "excavation site" is a large area. There are farms, ranches, camps and castles.

Cade picked up a map from the table and hung it on a shelf next to the lamp. This map is the kind of big-name goods sold in the store, but Ashu Rufate saw that there were many markings and instructions added to it, and there were many obvious things that were painted by hand.

"This is a map of the excavation site, not very accurate, but it should be okay," said Cade. "'White Bear' is probably at this location. I'm not sure about this, because there was no communication between us for a while."

Ashu Rufate immediately realized that to reach the "White Bear" position, you need to pass through the outer blockade line. There are high walls and trenches, as well as guards. If you are not mistaken, there is magic surveillance.

"How do I pass this...blockade line?"

"This depends on your own ability, and it is also a key issue. In the past, our people were able to enter through the gate by acting as assistants of merchants." Cade pointed his finger on the map. "But recently, the church has strengthened its vigilance and has cut off our communication method... How about it, is there any problem?" His eyes stared at Ashu Rufate's face.

"No problem." Ashu Rufate agreed immediately. "Do you want to go there immediately?"

"It's OK within a month, but the faster the better," replied Cade. "This map can be given to you."

After Ashu Rufate left, Neil spoke again.

"Cad, it's really inappropriate for you to do this. You have to know... If he wants to betray us, Bai Xiong and the others will be in danger..."

"There is a great risk in this matter," Cade replied dismissively. "And you promised just now that he was not a spy."

"He is indeed not a spy, but... it's not that he is trustworthy and goes through such an important task!"

"He can come here, which means he is a little capable person. He comes here for only two purposes. The first is to hope to get the reward from the Baron... just like me! The second is to kill the Baron and achieve his reputation as a hero. No matter which purpose he is, he must help us complete this before the following is found." Cade said. "As I said, this is a test of ability, proving his value..."

"What if he doesn't have the ability to complete this character?"

"If he has no value, why should we care about his life or death?" Cade asked back. "As for the 'White Bear'... have you not noticed that I have never explained the appearance of the White Bear, and he didn't ask?"

The bearded man sent Ashurufate to the ground along the original road and returned to the valley where they first met. Perhaps he had been instructed, the bearded's attitude has become much more friendly now. On the way, they naturally talked. Ashurufate learned that the bearded man's name was Zod. He joined Baron Pinold's command not because of his ambition. In fact, Zod was just an ordinary half-farmer and half-hunter civilian. Unfortunately, the high taxes of Earl Kasek made him difficult for life, and he had to sneak into the private hunting area of ​​Earl Kasek one day to hunt. What's more unfortunate is that when he wanted to leave with his hunting objects, he was caught on the spot by the soldiers in the forest.

On the way back to Menor, Baron Pinold's subordinates raided the team. After the guards escorted were killed, the prisoners were released. Seeing that there was no choice, Zod simply made up his mind and defected to the vampire on the spot, and now he became a small team leader. In fact, he knew much more than Ash Rufate had expected. For example, he knew what the operational mission that Ash Rufate accepted was. In fact, it was to launch a large-scale escape to rescue - at least part of the enslaved criminals. There was no doubt that these criminals would join their ranks and further strengthen their lineup.

However, when Ashu Rufate further asked about their number, the Baron and the Immortal Legion, Zod immediately stammered and refused to say it.

However, in other aspects, Zod was quite talkative and didn't want to hide anything. In fact, he was a little confused now. Zod didn't know what would happen to him in the future, nor did he know the true purpose of Baron Pinold. He had never even seen Baron Pinold himself. All the orders came from the direct subordinates of the three barons, namely the three people Ashrufate met today, Neil, Cade, and the pale young man - his name Pete. The three of them were the direct commanders of the entire rebel army. The main job of the rebels is to attack tax collectors and checkpoints everywhere. In addition, they are also fighting for allegiance to the villages and towns in the Meno area.

As far as Ashrufate knew, their battles were effective. Now even the subordinates of Earl Kasek could not leave the city.

"Lord Kasek is really so bad? It's worse than a vampire?" Ashu Rufat asked him another question.

"It's much worse. Although Baron Pinold is a vampire, he can suck the blood of one person at most. And that guy Kasek... he will suck the blood and sweat of the entire Meno people!" Zod said hatefully.

"Isn't he a new lord? Why is he so crazy about taxation? Is there such a big expense?"

"I heard in the city that he owed a lot of money on gambling," Zod replied. "So he crazily increased taxes!"

"We're here." Ashu Rufat said, he had seen the nightmare horse in the distance and felt Mimilu's existence.

"Ashu Rufate, why do you want to be the Baron's subordinate?" Zod asked, not knowing the conversation that was taking place in the conference room.

"For some private reasons," Ash Rufate replied ambiguously. "Is this our lair?"

"One of several strongholds. But we're all here recently." Zod didn't hide it. "By the way, if you're going to meet the White Bear, you can try to find some female slave dealers in Meno City. I heard they have a way to get into the excavation site."

"Thank you," Ash Rufate replied. "But I don't want to do that."

"How do you want to get in? There are trenches, high walls, and patrols."

"Climb in with a hook rope," replied Ashu Rufate. "It's just a trench and a wall."
