I Became the Progenitor Vampire

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Quietly Deepening Sense of Identity

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The residents of Dawn City had been in a frenzy these past few days.

Because the first thing the Security Team with a monthly salary of 12 silver pukes did after recruiting a full team was to measure the land in the wasteland outside the southern district.

Each ten acres was divided into one plot, and a one-blade-width deep ditch was dug in the middle as a partition.

And to speed up the measurement, the Holy Light Bloodline also hired 50 civilians and promised that they would receive three silver pukes as a reward upon completion.

The 50 slots were instantly filled by the crowd.

At this moment, everyone could see that the Holy Light Bloodline was truly going to fulfill their promise… to allocate land to every adult.

Life Goddess above, this was the best news they had heard.

Excited residents, after receiving free food, spontaneously helped out, just to speed up the work. The sooner it was completed, the sooner they might receive their piece of land.

Recker came to the wasteland outside the southern district after receiving a notification from Harrison.

Looking at the black soil beneath the low grass, Recker felt an inexplicable urge to cry.

He swore to the Life Goddess, this was fertile land; even in Eric Town, land of this quality did not exceed twenty acres.

Land represented hope, represented the future.

And he would get one of these plots, ten acres, enough to support his family. Maybe in the future, he could marry a wife and say goodbye to his previous nomadic life.

Only civilians with land had roots and didn’t have to worry about starving to death anytime. Lide’s land distribution plan undoubtedly struck at the vital point of the civilians.

“Recker, you are the captain of the logistics team, you also need to organize them, measuring the land will be a big project,”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Harrison stood under a big tree, wearing a white mage robe. His appearance was quite androgynous, his tone very gentle, and behind him were two Bloodline members who looked somewhat unwell because of the daytime.

Daytime was too unfriendly to Bloodline members, so the land measuring task could only be handed over to humans.

“Yes, sir,”

Recker’s fear of Bloodline members had largely dissipated after interacting with these Holy Light Bloodline members.

These Bloodline members were nothing like the legends; they were polite, courteous, and each one of them was handsome or beautiful, making people quickly develop a good impression.

If the other party weren’t truly vampires, Recker believed that these people would already be wholeheartedly settled in Dawn City.

But as things stood, even if they were vampires, they would still be wholeheartedly settled in Dawn City.

The temptation offered by the other side was too great; no one could refuse.

Not only were they giving land, but they were also going to establish schools and a Magic Tower, basically arranging the survival and development issues for them, allowing them to peacefully settle down and see the future.

This feeling of seeing hope was an experience these borderland civilians had never had before.

So the attachment of these civilians to Dawn City developed far quicker than Lide had expected, so much so that many of his tricks had not yet been deployed, and the goal was already achieved.

However, he, still in Green City purchasing supplies, was naturally unaware of the changes already happening among the residents.

The second day, the third day.

On the fourth day of measuring the land, with the participation of hundreds of people, the process that was initially planned to take a week was completed in half the time.

And just when all the civilians were preparing to draw lots to get their piece of land, Dawn City welcomed its second group of residents.

Audis felt very pleased because the two border operations had gone perfectly, without encountering those damned Beastmen.

The first time had brought back more than 700 people, and this time, they found a group of refugees numbering over a thousand.

No one could remain calm under the Magic Language Bats covering the sky. A group of civilians who had lost their land under the force of Beastmen fell into a complete collapse at first sight of the Bloodline.

If Audis had not been well-prepared, these thousand people might have scattered and fled.

There was no resistance, not a single person dared to stand out. The most powerful among them was a level 4 Hunter, with no ability to resist.

This large group of refugees from over ten villages was captured by the Bloodline just like that.

When the Magic Language Bats carrying the crowd landed in Dawn City late at night, Harrison, already informed, had Recker lead the logistics and security teams along with the Bloodline to welcome the new residents.

…

The first porcupine to become a resident of Dawn City was now a member of the Security Team due to his strong physique. After receiving the order tonight, he joined the team welcoming the second group of residents.

On the first day of joining the Security Team, Porcupine received a reward of five silver pukes.

Life Goddess above, it was the first time in his life that he had received so much money in one go, and at the end of the month, he would still get 6 more silver pukes.

He absolutely loved this job.

But what he found most compelling was the imminent land distribution, that was his root.

He had originally been very apprehensive about joining the Security Team, especially with the presence of Holy Light Bloodline members.

But after patrolling with the Holy Light Bloodline mage for the past few days, his ideas subtly changed.

What he originally thought were terrifying vampires were actually not that bad, apart from their extreme dislike of sunlight. Otherwise, they were very similar to humans.

“Boss, yesterday I caught a wild chicken outside, made soup, and it tasted amazing. I think you must have never tasted it, would you come over to my house tonight after we’re done?”

For example, at this moment, Porcupine had figured out the personalities of the two Holy Light Bloodline members in their team; one liked to collect strange and quirky objects, such as cups from hundreds of years ago, and the other liked human food.

As expected, upon hearing this, the Bloodline member next to him subconsciously swallowed, “Was it really that good?”

Bloodline members did not crave human food much, but some individuals, like Lide, purely enjoyed tasting food.

“Absolutely,”

“Alright then, I’ll come to your house tonight after we’re done. Night Goddess above, if you dare to deceive me, I will beat you up,”

Porcupine chuckled, “Of course not, my wife’s culinary skills are famous in Eric Town, and even now in Dawn City, they are top-notch.”

The Bloodline member’s expression shifted slightly, he looked deeply at Porcupine, and nodded.

“Yes, our Dawn City,”

This sentence stunned Porcupine for a moment. He didn’t understand why the other party repeated it but didn’t have time to think more as the cheers of the crowd around the square interrupted his thoughts.

The second group of humans had arrived.
