The shouts outside the house woke up Rona's wife. She was wrapped in warm clothes and holding an oil lamp in her hand. She opened the door and walked towards the door of the cowshed.

"Honey, what happened?"

"vampire!"

Rona quickly got up, followed the light of the fire, ran to his wife, and still said in horror: "There is a vampire in the cowshed!"

"vampire?"

Holding out the oil lamp in the direction of the cowshed, Rona's wife couldn't help but show a puzzled expression. There was obviously nothing at the door.

In order to find out, she decided to take a step towards the cowshed.

"Be careful!" Rona followed closely and hid behind his wife, "The vampire may still be inside."

The oil lamp first poked into the cowshed, and the two of them walked in cautiously. Using the light of the lamp, they scanned the entire cowshed. Except for a few cows that had been woken up and mooed, there were no other suspicious creatures.

"Where are the vampires? You must have drunk too much, right? Tsk! You smell like wine."

Rona's wife looked disgusted and pinched her nose with her other hand.

"Eh? It shouldn't be."

After looking around, Rona also began to wonder if his eyes were wrong.

No! He snatched the oil lamp from his wife's hand and hurried over to the cow that he had seen lying on top of by the vampire.

The cow was still sleeping on the hay pile for warmth, seemingly unaware that it had just been sucked by a vampire.

"What else are you looking for?" Rona's wife said displeased.

"Don't yell, I'm looking for evidence."

Holding an oil lamp, Rona searched carefully on the cow. After a while, he found two small holes with a little blood stain on it.

These were obviously bite marks left by vampires, indicating that Rona had indeed encountered a vampire just now.

"Come and see, besides vampires, what other monster can leave such bite marks on our cattle?"

Rona's wife came over to take a look and said "Huh" out of curiosity.

Then, Rona noticed that there was a window nearby that was casually covered and not closed, so he walked over, opened the window and looked outside.

It was pitch dark outside and the vampire had long since disappeared.

However, there is a row of small footprints on the snow on the ground in front of the window, extending in the direction of the Sky Mountains. It is completely invisible further away.

Rona turned around and said to his wife with a solemn expression: "We must report it to the lord as soon as possible! A vampire has come to our cowshed."

…

Lord's Castle.

It wasn't until the morning of the next day that Owen received a report from his personal guards, saying that a civilian had seen a vampire.

In order to deal with this matter, he sent someone to urgently summon Viscount Jarvis, Clive and Rusha.

Sitting at the table, Owen called Winston urgently and rubbed his forehead in distress.

We just blocked the first wave of attacks from the undead monsters not long ago, why did something like this happen inside the town? This winter is really uneasy.

After getting through to Winster, Owen talked about vampires in his mind.

[Vampires? Are they the kind of undead creatures that are afraid of garlic, silverware, holy water and crosses, and will spontaneously combust in the sun? 】

Owen was stunned for a moment, wondering why Winston would ask this.

[If we really had so many weaknesses, we humans would not have been defeated by the vampire army more than six hundred years ago.]

[Oh? What are the vampires like over there? 】

The vampires here are rumored to be very powerful, and if nothing else, their lifespans are infinite. They also have a certain degree of magic resistance, and even elemental magic may not be able to severely damage them.

Not only that, it is said that a few powerful vampires also possess special abilities and are extremely difficult to deal with.

The garlic and other things that Winster just mentioned are not the weaknesses of vampires. They will not spontaneously combust in the sun, but their strength is weakened.

Because of this, most vampires like to move at night to ensure their own safety.

That being said, vampires are still very powerful during the day and cannot be dealt with by ordinary people.

Their only weakness is their belief in magic.

[I see, it’s very different from the vampires here. 】

[You also have vampires over there?] Owen asked.

[Well, in novels, movies and other works.]

Well, Owen shouldn't have asked that question.

After that, the two discussed some countermeasures on the matter until the three people who were summoned arrived at the castle.

Viscount Jarvis and Clive saluted in front of Owen. Lusha also felt that he should do as the Romans do, so he followed suit, although his movements were still a bit stiff.

"Someone met a vampire in his cowshed last night," Owen said straight to the point.

"What?!" Clive's eyes widened in shock, "Are you sure you saw it right? That's a legendary monster!"

"I have sent my personal guards over to confirm, and found suspicious bite marks on a cow. The footprints left behind were basically covered up due to the snow last night, but it is said that it fled to the Tianqiong Mountains."

After listening to Owen's words, Clive was even more confused.

"If that's true, why is the town citizen who discovered the vampire still alive? They were all discovered, but the vampire didn't eliminate him. It's really incredible."

This is indeed a question.

It stands to reason that when vampires are on the decline, they will definitely try their best to hide themselves. Once discovered, killing and silencing is usually their first choice, and then they run away.

"I don't know, that's why I sent someone to call you over."

Viscount Jarvis suggested: "Since it is related to vampires, do you want to go to the church for help?"

"Yeah." Owen nodded, "I will go to the church in person to see Bishop Flynn later."

Lusha didn't know what kind of monster a vampire was, but as long as it affected the safety of Border Guard Town, it meant that the safety of the tribe was also threatened.

For the safety of his people, Lusha had to do something. So, he took the initiative to take a step forward.

"Are you going to look for that vampire? There are people in our clan who are good at hunting prey. I can send them to search for traces of vampires."

"We must search for it. We cannot let vampires continue to cause chaos in Border Guard Town. Then please send someone to assist us, Chief Lusha." Owen responded.

"No problem." Lu Sha patted his chest.

Next, Owen issued various orders to the three people in order to deal with this vampire incident.

First, it was Clive. Owen ordered him to make an announcement in the square, informing the people of the territory that a vampire has been around recently and that they should stay at home as much as possible at night and avoid unnecessary outings.

He also asked Clive to gather his men and go door to door to confirm the situation of each house and check if anyone was killed at home. By the way, if you find anything, please report it to the city hall as soon as possible to verify the prize.

Then came Viscount Jarvis. Owen asked him to select four people from the shooting team to go to the Sky Mountains with the lizardmen sent by Lusha to search for traces of vampires.

The people in the shooting team are all experienced hunters with experience in hunting down prey. We cannot send too many people to search for the time being, because we still have to beware of the undead monsters in the north.

In addition, patrols in the border towns must be strengthened, and patrols must be strengthened at night to ensure the safety of the townspeople.

Viscount Jarvis can arrange for the militia and knights to perform this task in turns.

Finally, there was Lusha. In addition to sending people to help search for vampires, he also asked him to strengthen the security of the lizard-man residential areas on his own.
