Chapter 427 Blood Drinking Safety
The wise insect did not immediately let Stoke go with it, but asked him to first settle the vampires and monks in the territory, ensure the stability of the Second Hall, and then rush to the Four Kingdoms with it to participate in the meeting the next day.
Stock calmly and frankly announced to all the residents in the territory: From now on, Ertang Galan will be incorporated into the territory of Sifang Kingdom, and from now on it will be an integral part of Sifang Kingdom.
If you can't accept this, leave here immediately.
His voice resounded throughout the territory: "Everyone, make your choice. This will determine how you will survive in the future. I give you the power to choose."
The whole situation was just as Stock had expected. Most people remained where they were, with only about 400 people leaving for various reasons.
Considering that Ertang Galan already has a large floating population, a considerable number of abyss vagrants come here in order to get free soup and shelter.
Stock knew very well that many people did not want to stay here forever. Even if they went to Noland to do hard labor or to Hu Yizi to be cavalrymen who might die at any time, they thought it was better than here.
In the eyes of vagrants, blood-drinking vampires are a symbol of danger.
In their private words.
"Who would want to live with a vampire if it weren't for food?"
Stoke is used to it.
When they are hungry, these vagrants only care about food and nothing else. But once they have a full stomach, they want more. Desires are always expanding and extending.
Stock didn't care.
Even though many people secretly cursed him as the Black-hearted Duke, said that vampires were a group of crazy monsters, and believed that the monks in the temple were a group of idiots with their heads turned into stone...when the cafeteria of the Second Temple gave alms, these complaining people would line up obediently and say with a humble smile, please give more, thank you.
That's how it is.
The Second Hall also needs these people.
However, after arriving at the Four Kingdoms on the fourth level, the first thing the White God who presided over the meeting asked Stoker was: "Can vampires and monks participate in more production development?"
"Vampires can identify the abilities and physical conditions of others through blood. This is a very useful new ability. The Yao clan's current medical field is still helpless against blood problems. If a vampire can become a doctor and scholar, it will be a huge help."
Vampire doctor? Scholar? Stocker noticed that everyone at the meeting was looking at him, and he immediately came to his senses.
This is not a joke.
Sitting at the head of the long table was the White God, who was shrouded in white light. Surrounding him, from left to right, were Bartfred, the apostle representing the Four Kingdoms, Noland, who represented the Mage Tower, Haizhe, the leader of the Corpse Demon Army who was in charge of the stables, Xiaozhi, the wise insect who participated in the meeting as a special advisor, and then Stoke himself.
"Stock, tell me what you think." Baishen said in a low voice.
"yes……"
Stock hesitated. "On the fifth layer of the Abyss, the vampires under my jurisdiction are very disciplined, but doctors and scholars are very unfamiliar professions to them. They used to be better at hiding, investigating, and assassinating. This gap is really huge."
"I understand your concerns."
Bai Shen continued, "I learned from Noland and Zhichong that the vampires of Ertang Galan drink blood from native chickens and bighorn sheep. In other words, they are used to using the blood of livestock instead of human blood, right?"
"Lord Baishen, in fact, vampires usually prefer the blood of powerful creatures." Stock explained: "But generally speaking, the blood of native chickens and bighorn sheep is the healthiest and safest."
Outsiders have a misunderstanding about vampires, as if they suck blood from everyone they see.
The fact is that vampires are very picky about blood.
The blood of the vagrants is mostly not of high quality. Their blood is either thick or low in nutrients, and many of them carry diseases. Vampires who inhale low-quality blood will suffer from diarrhea, vomiting, weakness, and chills.
When the prince was still alive, he killed a powerful supernatural monster during a hunt.
According to ancient tradition, the vampires shared the blood of their prey, but after feasting on the food, they felt collectively weak.
Many of the vampires involved suffered from skin ulcers and loose bones. The accident resulted in the death of sixteen vampires from poisoning... This was later called the Blood Feast Incident.
In order to prevent the blood feast incident from happening again, the prince issued a strict order, emphasizing that the safety of drinking blood is of paramount importance and requiring all tribesmen to drink the blood of reliable livestock. Those who disobeyed seriously would even be directly expelled.
Initially, this decision caused dissatisfaction among many vampires in the tribe. However, under the strong execution and supervision of the prince, everyone had to change the way of drinking blood. Since then, the blood poisoning deaths that used to occur frequently have become less and less.
Therefore, the blood drinking of the Abyss Vampires has always been strictly controlled, and they choose the safest blood source: free-range chickens and bighorn sheep.
Before each consumption, a strong blood tester will first test the blood one by one. If there is no problem with the blood consumption, the blood will be distributed.
After listening to Stoke's statement, Bai Shen's voice became happy: "Very good, very good. This kind of good hygiene habit is part of medicine. The vampire clan will be the backbone of the Yao clan's future medicine!"
"Yaocheng and Yancheng will send some doctors here in the near future. Stoke, you should contact them and train everyone..."
Stock said yes.
Of course the orders had to be carried out, but most of the tribesmen were not the type who were keen on academics, and it was difficult to get them to learn.
"Don't worry, being a physician certainly has its benefits."
Bai Shen made a promise: "If you pass the test, the vampire who becomes a doctor will be able to choose to leave the abyss and choose a place in the Yao tribe city to settle down and practice."
Stock's eyes narrowed slightly: "That's great!"
This condition is indeed something that the tribe members cannot refuse.
The vampires of Ertang Galan have spent too many years on the fifth floor. If they have the chance to go to the vast and safer outside world, they will definitely flock to it.
Bai Shen added, "As for the monks, I would like to hear your opinion. Stock, the monks meditate and give alms on a daily basis. It seems that they cannot leave the second hall?"
Stoke's mind raced: "Master Baishen, the main duty of the monks is to maintain the Second Hall. In addition, their meditation and almsgiving will also trigger miracles. The guardian of the temple will gather the power of the world's rules and form an omnipotent stone."
"Perhaps we can consider monks as a kind of staged training... I didn't dare to think about this in the past because the population was too small. But now if the residents of Sifang City, the masters, and some scholars can come to the Second Hall to practice regularly."
“Although the practice is hard, it can not only bring the Omnipotent Stone to Lord Yaoshen, but also help the monks themselves, giving them a certain chance to comprehend abilities from the Guardian of the Temple and make further progress.”
Stocker was trying to figure out his words: "I hope to get a long-term and stable food supply so that the Second Hall of the Temple can continue to operate and contribute to Lord Yaoshen."
"Of course."
Bai Shen agreed without thinking.
Next, representatives from all parties took turns to put forward their demands and opinions. Finally, everyone started a comprehensive and detailed discussion around the future planning of the fifth layer of the abyss.
Looking at everyone offering suggestions one by one, Stoke suddenly felt a little dazed.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Two days ago, he was still having a splitting headache because of the lack of food in the territory and racking his brains over the complicated situation in the abyss.
Two days later, he had already begun planning for the future of the fifth layer of the abyss. With the support of the powerful god Yao Shen, he had transformed from a survivor of the abyss to a manager...
The chaotic situation on the fifth floor that had lasted for many years became a thing of the past overnight.
Many times, choice is more important than hard work.
…
Stock stayed in the Quartet for three months.
During this period, he studied the Yao culture, oracle dictionary and history of the Yao clan seriously and diligently, and gained a deeper understanding of the God Yao and the civilization created by the God Yao.
Since he was not familiar with other demigods and apostles, and everyone was busy with official duties, most of the time, Stock would ask the wise insect for advice.
"I have always had a question. If Yao Shen could easily take away the four wonders, why would he go to so much trouble?"
"For the sake of talent. If you look through the history of the Yao clan, you will know that Lord Yao God values talent very much, regardless of their background."
The wise insect cracked the nut shell with its teeth and threw the kernel into its mouth: "The God of Darkness has imprisoned many powerful demigods and monsters in the abyss. There are still 18 demigods on the fifth floor. But the only ones that Lord Yao really cares about are Noland and you."
"Me? Lord Yaoshen?"
Stock was surprised.
As the strongest person on the fifth level, it was natural for Magic Bag Noland to be chosen by God Yao.
But Stoke never expected that he was the talent chosen by God Yao to be recruited.
"Why else would I go all the way to find you? Haha."
The wise insect ate nuts and said, "In the previous high-level meeting in Sifang City, you were the only one among all the leaders of the territories who was neither a demigod nor an apostle. From this point of view, you are special."
Only then did Stock come to his senses.
He originally thought that after he was summoned to Sifang City and handed over the Second Hall, he would be sidelined. Unexpectedly, Baishen not only retained his original governance of the Second Hall, but also let him take on more missions and powers, and participate in the decision-making of the entire fifth layer.
"Why?" Stoke asked, "Why did Lord Yao take a fancy to me?"
"Who knows? The Lord God's will is unpredictable..."
The wise insect shrugged: "But in my opinion, you are still quite capable. Everyone started out as a demigod, but you are just an ordinary vampire, and you have risen to compete with two demigods. This is not an easy thing. Noland is so proud, and he also thinks that you are indeed good."
The recognition from his former powerful enemy made Stoke secretly happy.
He warned himself not to be arrogant or impatient.
A new challenge has begun.
Although everyone is now in the same camp, the competition is still going on. It has just changed from the tit-for-tat battles of the past to a competition of capabilities at the level of development and governance.
Just as he was thinking about it, a beam of light suddenly shot into the sky from the ground.
A vast and vague voice echoed throughout the abyss.
The wise insect opened its eyes wide: "Is this... the immortal wonder has appeared in the world? The legend is true!"
"What legend?" asked Stocker.
"Noland briefly mentioned before that the four wonders on the fifth floor were originally scattered parts of an immortal wonder. If they can be combined, the true appearance of the immortal wonder can be restored."
The wise insect was excited: "Let's go to the next floor and take a look! Your Ertang Galan is also a part of it. I wonder what it looks like now!"
Stock nodded and entered the passage with it.
