I was an apprentice in Ferren

Chapter 134 The Vampire's Property
You are immune to negative levels.

You gained 52100 experience points.

Your body is in a weakened state; your strength, agility, and constitution have temporarily decreased by 2 points.

Due to injury and blood loss, your Strength and Constitution have temporarily decreased by 2 points.

As the vampire's body gradually turned to ashes, the summoned beasts immediately lost control. The terrifying battlefield and the decaying, putrid stench filled them with fear, and they began to flee with their tails between their legs.

Deva's entire body was suddenly relieved. Without the caster's focus on the spell, the slow spell on her body dissipated automatically. Her opponent, the figure in black leather armor, lost all will to fight upon seeing his master dead. After the negative spell disappeared, he was completely unable to resist the paladin's attack and surrendered after having his arm severed by the Holy Slash.

Looking back, Deva saw DuPont already sitting on the ground. Panic gripped her heart. Amidst the screams of the surrendered cultist, she used the blade of her 'Passionate' sword to quickly stop the bleeding. She then looked at the soldiers on the city wall: "Hey, someone come down and keep an eye on him. I'm going to rescue him!"

At this moment, DuPont's vision was already blurring. He sat weakly on the ground next to the vampire's ashes. After casting all the healing spells on himself with his healing staff, he finally felt his breath return. He turned his head and saw that the problem with Deva had been resolved. His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

After the rage subsided, his arms ached terribly, and his chest and throat burned with pain. Hunger, wounds, and blood loss made DuPont feel dizzy. The staff, worth thousands of gold, was now a huge hindrance, so he tossed it aside with disdain. Looking up at the sky, he felt that the night sky was exceptionally bright, and his eyelids began to droop.

Today was just too busy, with rushing around and killing people, not to mention he had already used his Rampage skill once in the afternoon. Now that everything is over, I'm feeling exhausted and really don't want to move.

Wait, there's something important I haven't done yet.
After wiping the blood off his hands and onto his body, DuPont, panting heavily, gulped down a bottle of healing potion. He checked his throat and found no more liquid seeping out, finally feeling relieved. He then propped up his exhausted body, feeling the touch of armor behind him.

"DuPont!" The paladin's voice sounded from behind, and a gentle, healing light touched his body: "How are you?"

"It's alright, nothing serious." The Holy Healing spell dispelled DuPont's weakness, but he was still a little listless and couldn't help but yawn: "Help me up, I have something urgent to do. Damn, this time I really lost out big time."

"Huh?" The paladin quickly helped DuPont up, only to see him first use the Mage's Hand to put away his staff, then walk towards the vampire's corpse.
DuPont first touched the vampire's ashes with his mage's hand, and only felt relieved after finding no curse. He then took out two glass bottles to collect the pile of purplish-brown ashes, which were far more valuable than ordinary low-grade dragon blood.

Dragons are not uncommon, but due to their vicious and domineering nature, very few can live to adulthood. For example, the Frost Giant tribe in the North has the custom of keeping young white dragons as pets. These are magical materials that can be bought with a little money.

However, the ashes of genuine vampires are much rarer. These cunning and suspicious creatures are mostly very well hidden. With the blessing of magical items, they can live in seclusion in mortal cities. Their long lifespan also makes them extremely wealthy, allowing them to move around to avoid the land becoming barren and revealing their whereabouts. As long as they don't develop too many blood slaves and their crime rate is low, some local churches may not even be able to find out their secrets.

If discovered, one can quickly escape; after all, with a space bag, it's convenient to change places to live. Hunting vampires can't rely solely on strength; a certain amount of luck and thorough preparation are also required.

However, something was different today; this guy wasn't running away, which made DuPont even more curious about what was inside the vampire's carriage.

However, I picked up the nearest thing first, and it turned out to be unusually heavy.

+3 Vitality, Overpower the Enemy, Greatsword
Quality: Ultra-rare

Weight: 20 lbs

Attribute 1, Killer of Living Things: When attacking any living object, it deals an additional 2D6 points of damage.

Attribute 2, Heavy Strike: The design of this flame-shaped greatsword is not just for decoration, but an exquisite weapon specially crafted by a master blacksmith. When attacking enemies, the range of heavy strikes is increased by one.

Attribute 3, Sharpening: This weapon is made of refined gold, and its weight and quality far exceed those of ordinary weapons. When attacking or parrying, it can cause additional damage to the weapon.

Value: 18000 gold

When DuPont saw the information about this sword, he almost drooled. The attributes were incredibly powerful; no wonder it could cripple his +1 Eastern Longsword. It was just that the weight was quite frightening.

Even if you can't use it yourself, you can exchange or sell it. The system gives you 18,000 to recycle, which will probably be worth 15,000. Selling it to others will probably easily get you 20,000.

Get rich, get rich!

However, this is not all of his assets.

Obsidian Bone Armor

Type: Light Armor

Quality: Rare

Attributes: Defense level 16, Light Resistance +5.

Self-recovery: This bone armor will slowly recover its durability as long as it is in the dark.

Negative attribute: It will continue to crack after 1 minute in sunlight, and will turn into a pile of bone meal after 3 minutes.

Faction requirement: Undead
Value: 5000 gold coins
Ring of the Dark Journey
Quality: Rare

Charge: 6 points

Can be cast: Equivalent to a level 5 mage's Slow spell, requires 3 charges.

It can cast a dark spell equivalent to a level 5 mage's, requiring 2 charges.

Escape Belt
Attribute: You have a 4-point bonus to your defense against combat skills.

Value: 1000 gold coins
Detection Avoidance Necklace
Attribute: Holding this necklace will grant immunity to faction detection skills; the wearer is considered neutral by default.
Value: 2000 gold

These items are all average except for the ring, but they still have some value and can be sold.

The rest of the items are ordinary, mostly things like +1 immunity cloaks, and I still have a few in my DuPont bag.

The mage had also finished cleaning up the ashes, which totaled about 1.5 bottles, weighing about 1.5 pounds. This stuff was worth about 800 gold per pound on the market, so another 1,200 gold was deposited into his account.

Vampire Fangs are essential materials for adding the Vampire Touch enchantment to weapons and for creating vampire weapons. A pair is worth a thousand gold.

However, after discovering these things, DuPont also unexpectedly saw a bright red crystal.

Midnight Lord's Blood Essence: This is the essence of a vampire's entire being. After consuming it, you will slowly transform into a vampire, and no master will be able to control you. Generally, only vampires who die unexpectedly can condense this essence.

You can choose to hand this item over to the church, or keep it to make magical items. If you are discovered possessing it, it may attract the attention of vampires.

Value: Unknown
