Chapter 191 Scheming Against Dragons
It was close to dawn when Mary snuck into Herdurand City.
Besides her army of blood servants and vampire spawns, the three adepts Greem, Keoghan as well as Ferrier followed her into the city.
They broke straight into the noble’s mansion closest to the city square. In less than eight minutes, they had completely taken control of all fifty or so residents within the entire mansion. If it wasn’t to avoid any outsiders from detecting abnormality, the more efficient way of doing things would be to kill those residents. Now, they had to have Ferrier, who was adept in brewing potions, turn them into obedient puppets using Heart-Loss Powder.
Ferrier sounds like a very feminine name, but in truth the owner of the name was a very rugged and burly man. According to Keoghan’s words in another, more private conversation, Ferrier was truly a female when he advanced to an adept. He had only turned out like this after an accident during an experiment.
Of course, this was only referring to Ferrier’s appearance. As for whether Ferrier’s gender identity and anatomy was male or female, there was no way to find out. At any rate, Greem and the rest had absolutely no interest in this!
Greem had long despaired when it came to the group known as adepts.
There was no way there could be a normal person amongst those that could advance to adepts!
Dragon feces were something most people would avoid. However, for potions masters such as himself, they were a very decent ingredient for brewing. Moreover, wasn’t the purpose everyone dragged “him” out here to have “him” brew a potion specifically designed for dragons?
The dragons, having a powerful physique and exceptional magic resistance would be immune to most low-grade spells. Normal poison and paralyzing drugs would also have no effect. Thus, trying to kill them through poison was only a fantasy, but using them to incapacitate them for a while was still possible.
External curses and offensive spells had no way of piercing the scales of the green dragons. Crossbows and daggers were naturally even less effective. Thus, any external attacks were unlikely to have effect without alerting the Third Grade Dragon Knights.
Using potions to drug a dragon would be a very unreliable means in most situations, but it was the most suitable in the situation now.
To ensure that the two green dragons’ life was comfortable, the city hall had even specially hired a group of paupers to take care of them. Transporting fresh livestock for them, cleaning the remains of their meals as well as their feces……This work was extremely dangerous and most peasants would never do such work. It was only the paupers who were willing to do anything for a spoon of rice that would take such risks.
Thus Mary sent out a couple of vampire subordinates to bribe some of the pauper servants with large amounts of money and have them secretly cart out some of the green dragons’ feces and saliva. With these things, Ferrier, who was a professional potions master, could brew a potion specifically targeted at, and strong enough to knock out the green dragons!
Ferrier set up a small secret room downstairs to focus on mixing the potion, while Mary sent out large numbers of her vampire subordinates all across the city to gather information regarding the inner workings of Herdurand. Greem and Keoghan, on the other hand, were guarding by the window, silently observing the two green dragons.
The operation was designated for tonight, as information shows that there will be another large-scale feeding session tonight before midnight. Therefore, if they had any plans, it had to be based around this feeding session.
Yet, just as dusk arrived, something happened on the square!
One of the dragon knights exited the castellan’s quarters under the company of the crowd. After some quick farewells, he leapt onto one of the dragons and took to the skies, whistling towards the east.
That was where Blue Hillock City was!
