After sealing off the laboratory, Feng Chou used the Time Acceleration in the Tower to study spells, meditate to train his mental energy, and use the new laboratory to complete his magical experiments. He only used half a year in the real world, and less than five years in the Tower, to master all of the mid-level spells and become an all-elemental mid-level spellcaster!
Feng Chou had already prepared the materials he needed for his experiments when he was preparing the materials for upgrading Qiankun Pagoda.
After mastering all of the mid-level spells, Feng Chou was not in a hurry to upgrade Qiankun Pagoda. Instead, he continued to study the high-level spellcaster knowledge of the Alchemy Element.
…
Just as Feng Chou was wandering in the sea of magical knowledge, a terrifying battle started because of him broke out in a Baron's territory in the north of Tyron City.
This was a Baron's territory by the sea. Due to the constant attacks of typhoons, the land in the territory was barren.
In the middle of this Baron's territory, known as Charles Territory, there was a bay that extended into the depths of the territory.
The core of Baron Charles' territory was a small town called Charles. This small town was located at the end of the bay. In the small town, close to the shore of the bay, there was a small dock that could berth hundreds of tons of ships.
This small town with a population of less than two thousand was not famous among the ordinary people of Tyron City, but it was somewhat famous among the pirates and smugglers.
Charles Territory was actually an important stronghold of the Wigros Pirate Team in Tyron City. This inconspicuous small town was actually a den for the pirates of the west coast to dispose of their stolen goods.
Aktina took the opportunity to ambush Count Patrick's carriage when he returned late at night from a banquet.
Even though Patrick was a Vampire of the Quasi Legendary level, under the siege of a Legendary priest, two Legendary Drow Warriors, and a dozen Master-level Professionals, he was subdued in the blink of an eye.
After kidnapping Patrick, the Drow Pirates quickly left Tyron City, taking a detour from the sea to Charles Town, which was more than a hundred kilometers north of Tyron City.
After that, the Drow Pirates interrogated Count Patrick with extremely cruel torture.
Count Patrick didn't hold on for too long before he spilled out everything he knew.
But the poor Count was not freed from the torment of torture because of this. Instead, it made the Drows even more severe.
This was because Aktina didn't believe him at all. If Locke was really just an ordinary vampire count like Patrick said, how could he drive away such a large merchant ship under the nose of a legendary priestess like Aktina?
Did he think she was an idiot?
Thus, Count Patrick was tortured and interrogated day and night. Due to the unique physique of a vampire, Patrick was unable to die even if he wanted to. In a short span of two months, this pitiful vampire had been tortured to the point of insanity by the cruel Drow.
Count Patrick's disappearance immediately alerted the Vampire Family behind him. Considering that Patrick himself was not weak, the Vampire Family sent an investigation team consisting of three Marquises and five Earls to Tyron City as members of Count Patrick's family to investigate Patrick's disappearance.
Coincidentally, the ordinary crew members of Patrick returned to Tyron City one after another, bringing news of Patrick's disappearance.
The Vampire Family had sent another investigation team to Stormwind City to investigate the disappearance of the Patrick.
Even though the Drow Pirates used spells to isolate the dungeon where Patrick was and prevent him from being found by investigation spells, this group of vampires was, after all, the local tyrants of Tyron City. The channels in their hands were a hundred times more than those of the Drow Pirates. Thus, they quickly found traces of the group that kidnapped Count Patrick in Tyron City.
The investigation team sent by the Vampire Family to Stormwind City also found something even faster.
After Aktina whipped the head of the Wigros Pirates' intelligence team to death in Stormwind City, she left without a care in the world, leaving the Wigros Pirates' spies in Stormwind City in a mess.
When the vampires arrived in Stormwind City, the Wigros Pirates' intelligence team in Stormwind City had just cleaned up their mess. They didn't even think of hiding the fact that they had been monitoring Patrick.
Vampires had an advantage in investigation that other races didn't have. As long as they found a suspect, they could bite him, and the other party wouldn't be able to keep any secrets.
Thus, after the heads of the Vigros Intelligence Unit were turned into vampire spawn, the fact that the Vigros Drow Family had been monitoring the Patrick and following Locke's vampire spawn was completely exposed to the vampires.
When they received news from Stormwind City that the eldest daughter of the Wigros Family, a powerful Legendary-level High Priestess of the Spider Queen, had personally led a team to investigate Patrick, the vampires were shocked. They hurriedly sent a Legendary-level Vampire Wizard and two ordinary Vampire Dukes to Tailun City to take charge of the situation.
Through the news from Stormwind City, the vampires locked onto the Wigros Pirates. Using their powerful connections in the grey areas of Tailun City, they quickly tracked down Charles Town, where the Wigros Pirates sold their loot. The existence of this town wasn't a secret in the grey areas of Tailun City.
One night with a clear moon and few stars, the vampires attacked Charles Town.
The tactics of the vampire nobles were simple but cruel. Hundreds of vampire derivatives launched a fearless attack on the town under the orders of their master.
The fierce attack quickly forced Aktina's subordinates to take action. Once the group of Master Drow took action, they naturally confirmed to the vampires that the Wigros Family was indeed hiding in this town.
Under the powerful attacks of the vampires, Aktina had no choice but to pray to the Spider Queen again. She opened the door to the Spider Kingdom and released hordes of Demon-Hunting Spiders!
The vampire derivatives controlled by the vampire nobles were obviously no match for the Demon-Hunting Spiders. After the vampire derivatives were wiped out, the vampire nobles retreated from the battlefield, but it wasn't as if they didn't gain anything.
During the battle, the Legendary-level Vampire Wizard and two Vampire Dukes worked together to capture a Master Drow warrior from Drow's investigation team and retreat from the battlefield.
After interrogating the captive, the vampires finally understood the reason for the incident.
What puzzled the vampires was how an ordinary Marquis like Locke had managed to escape Drow's pursuit.
Since Locke and Patrick had already escaped Drow's pursuit, where was he now?
After this clash, the vampires deeply felt the power of Drow. They didn't want to continue the conflict with the powerful servants of the Spider Queen because of a Marquis. Thus, the vampires released the captive, hoping that he would bring the goodwill of the vampires to reconcile.
