Chapter 119 Silver Peak
Silver Peak is also a place recorded in the Dwarf Book of Hatred.
It is said that it was once the peak of the dwarves, and served as the main transportation link between the mountains at the edge of the world and the dark land.
Thanks to trade with Zhendan, this trade route made a lot of money.
But later this place was lost, and in the Book of Hatred, it is simply said that this place was forgotten in the long history.
But the actual situation was that Neferata, the head of the Lahmian family, captured the town.
And that original vampire was so powerful that he could even control the corpses and skeletons of magic-resistant dwarves and build such a magnificent area.
At the same time, under the manipulation of the Lahmia family, the dwarves' books of hatred and legends mentioned this place less and less. Over time, even the dwarves forgot the stories here.
As expected of a vampire from the Lamia family, he is famous for his intelligence and infiltration.
The map they drew was completely accurate, even the locations of various stones on the road and the rivers were clearly marked.
It even took Windlow and Mousse only five days to reach a place like Silver Peak from Karak Kadrin Fortress.
From the outside, there is no difference between this place and all other dwarf fortresses, except for the soldiers guarding the gate.
Without exception, they were all women, but their blood-red eyes and sharp teeth made it clear what they were: vampires from the Lamia family.
Wendlow was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he took a good look at the environment around Silver Peak from outside.
This location is really the most desired place for merchants to be stationed.
It is the only road connecting the Dark Land and the World's Edge Mountains, and it is also the only road that the Zhendan caravan can pass through.
Almost all traffic between the Old World and Zhendan will have to go through here, which is obviously a major commercial route.
Not to mention agriculture and industry, even if you occupy such a place, you can make a lot of money just by collecting tolls.
No wonder the Lahmia family is so well-informed and wealthy.
At the same time, two bats fell from the sky, landed beside Windlow and Mousse, and transformed into the appearance of vampires.
"Have you seen enough? The mistress has been waiting for you for a long time."
This was indeed an oversight on the part of Windlow. He had thought that there were still three days left in a week, and he could observe the basic situation of Silver Peak from outside.
But this is the base camp of the Lamia family. How could a vampire family that is good at infiltration and reconnaissance not set up secret sentries and reconnaissance here in the base camp?
Now their identities are exposed, but fortunately they are not in a hostile relationship with each other.
"I'm sorry, I'm so tired from traveling. Besides, Silver Peak is so beautiful. You can make a lot of money just by collecting tolls and opening a hotel."
Windlow laughed it off and did what all businessmen would do: be polite.
"Don't be polite. You haven't been walking fast along the way. You're even dawdling a bit. Hurry up. The hostess's patience is limited."
The two female vampires acted like tour guides and soldiers. They surrounded Wendlow and Mousse and forced them to walk quickly towards Silver Peak as if intimidating them.
Of course, he was not being escorted. On the way into Silver Peak, Windlow was still able to look around and see the layout of the entire city.
Some Zhendan and Imperial caravans would rest in the large open residential area at the bottom of Silver Peak.
Whether you are heading to the market or selling something and preparing to return, this is indeed a great place.
It is safe, comfortable, has supplies to replenish the team, and the cost is not high.
All the caravans here didn't notice the two people who had just come in. After all, when doing business, they would meet strangers all over the country.
But the hall was clearly not where Queen Neferata lived.
The two of them went up all the way, and under the guidance of the vampire, they directly reached the top of the Silver Peak.
In a spacious terrace, I met the legendary Neferata, the matriarch of the Lahmia family.
This really surprised Windlow. He had originally thought that creatures like vampires would live underground, but he didn't expect that Queen Neferata would live in such a high place. Isn't she afraid of the sun?
Seeing that the person they were looking for had already arrived at their room, Neferata just gave a look, and the two vampires nodded and retreated, politely preparing a bench and then closing the door.
"Ah, a dark elf named Mousse, who used to be a dread lord. He has an older sister and a younger sister. He serves in Naggarond, the capital of the dark elves..."
Neferata seemed to know Mousse's past completely and told it slowly, but was quickly interrupted by Mousse.
"I know you have great powers, could you please not tell me about my past shame?"
Neferata also smiled slightly. This was exactly the effect she needed. Seeing Mousse's reaction, she knew that her information was correct.
Then she turned to look at Wendlow, who was her important target.
"Wendeluo is an imperial merchant born in Rickland. He has been to Solland and Marienburg to do business. He even led a mercenary group to fight against beastmen. His dream is to become a famous merchant. This is not important."
Neferata didn't look at anything, as if she had already memorized Windlow's information in her mind.
She walked towards him step by step, then lifted his chin, with a teasing look in her bloodshot eyes.
"I need you to do me a favor and transport a coffin to Marienburg. The reward is one hundred gold coins."
"Sending a vampire to the Empire, right?"
As expected of a businessman, Windlow immediately guessed the pitfalls in such a business contract.
It's not a mission to deliver a coffin at all, otherwise no one would be willing to take on this kind of business trip that pays 100 gold coins.
There must be a vampire in the coffin. One hundred gold coins may seem like a lot of reward, but this is a journey to the Empire.
"It's not easy to carry a vampire along the way to avoid the inspection of witch hunters, Sigma priests, and other mayors and barons."
"So you are willing to take on the mission, but you have some objections to the reward of one hundred gold coins, and some things that need to be discussed."
As expected of Queen Neferata of the Lamia family, she knew Windlow's true thoughts from just a few words.
Business is business. There is no such thing as absolutely yes or absolutely no. It’s just a process of negotiation.
"You want extra compensation, right? Here's what I mean."
Neferata's snow-white jade hand, which was originally hooked on Wendlow's chin, slowly placed it on his head.
"The magic wind in your body is very chaotic, like a big whirlpool. Your body will involuntarily absorb the magic energy in the surrounding environment."
"But different magical winds cannot merge with each other. The magical wind in your body is constantly changing its form. Fortunately, I can help you."
