After returning to the second floor, Rhodes pulled Caroline into his room...
"He's questioning the truth!"
Caroline said dissatisfied.
"People will naturally question things if they don't see the truth. This is normal."
Rhodes answered calmly and unwrapped a bag of coffee. This is one of Caroline's favorite drinks.
"You risked your life to get it. Why should he question its authenticity?"
Although Rhodes comforted her patiently, Caroline was still a little aggrieved. After all, she also participated in the battle that day and saw the brutality of the war herself. However, people in other parts of the kingdom just pretended that it had nothing to do with them.
The high-hanging attitude really makes people feel uncomfortable.
"It's just a few people who question it, but as you can see, don't most people listen to it with great interest? Some people even get excited on the spot. Most people still believe it, don't they?"
Rhodes continued to feel relieved. Of course, he knew that the middle class was different from the common people at the bottom. The middle class had experienced some cruel and dark competitions and had seen some dark inside stories. Their road to wealth accumulation was not so smooth and bright to begin with.
, so it is normal to be suspicious of other people's words. Just like Kidd, the owner of this tavern, who knows if his family used some dark means when they competed to win this treasure land? In such a family environment
As I grow up, I naturally have a somewhat skeptical attitude towards everything.
"You are always so indifferent."
Caroline crossed her arms and put them on her chest, pouting.
"Shh..."
The coffee was brewed quickly, and Rhodes brought it over. Just as he was about to drink it, a strange sound came into his ears.
"What's wrong?"
Caroline looked confused. She didn't have as good a hearing as Rhodes. In the silent night, all she heard was the sound of rats in the tavern playing with the ceiling. Other than that, she didn't hear anything else.
Other sounds. But Rhodes was different. The extremely keen sense of smell and hearing given by Esun allowed him to hear subtle sounds that ordinary people could not hear.
"There is movement, and it's not from this tavern. It seems to be coming from the house opposite."
Rhodes opened the window and looked at the dark and boundless night.
Just when Rhodes was sniffing out the danger in the night like a wild wolf, Yeskovitch also knocked on Rhodes' door with restless footsteps.
"I smell a familiar smell."
Yeskovitch whispered. He closed the door. Among the five people, except Bogul, who was still sleeping soundly, everyone else got up. Although Talinnam could not hear the subtle sounds, he was
After Yeskovitch woke up, he no longer dared to be careless. He had already grasped the Crow Light Crossbow that Daft had left for him.
Soon, Rhodes decided to go out for a look and made a gesture. Everyone quickly understood and started jumping out of the windows one by one. Yeskovitch was the most agile, and he was very familiar with climbing after living in the wild for many years.
This is the most familiar thing, except that the objects of climbing have changed from wild forests and mountains to stone houses.
The shaman was the first to roll out of the window, and with a vigorous jump, he jumped onto the street and quickly disappeared into the night. Talinnam jumped down immediately, and after landing, he made a flexible forward roll to relieve the stress on his legs and feet, and then followed
Yeskovitch jumped into the house opposite.
Caroline, who didn't dare to jump out of the window, was hugged by Rhodes and forced to jump out of the window. When she landed, the softness on her chest just happened to press on Rhodes' chest. However, there was no time to be pretentious. Both Rhodes and the Frost Witch quickly got up and ran.
Toward the house opposite.
The sound came from the alley, and even after a few minutes, the sound still did not disappear. Where the moonlight shined, the shadows of the four people were like ghosts, leaving hurried shadows on the wall.
Their steps were very light, and they quickly and quietly approached their target. On the roof of a three-story residential house, Rhodes and Yeskovic saw their target clearly - a vampire drinking blood.
.It’s just that it doesn’t look like an old vampire, but a very young vampire. His appearance is still almost human. Except for the outstretched claws and almost lost hair, other parts of the body are similar to those of humans.
It was almost the same. Perhaps because of this, he didn't notice that there was someone above his head observing him while he was eating.
And the target he hunted was not a human, but a pony in the stable... Rhodes didn't know how he used to make the pony not make a sound when it was attacked. But it didn't matter anymore.
, the important thing is that now, I discovered it myself. As the tavern owner Kidd said, most of the people who died in the attacks in the past two months were livestock, not humans, which is why there was no large-scale panic here.
Rhodes made a gesture, and Talinnam understood it and aimed the crossbow at the eating vampire.
The trigger was pulled, and the Crow Light Crossbow shot a poisonous arrow at the black shadow in the stable. A professional crossbow for hunting vampires, the crossbow was almost silent when it came out of the chamber, like a shadow.
Sliding into the night sky and shooting into monsters in the dark.
A fierce scream was heard, and everyone in the surrounding houses was awakened. An arrow was hit in the leg, and the vampire screamed, pulled out the arrow, and ran wildly.
And Rhodes and his party quickly followed up. Under the bright moonlight, Yeskovitch let out a low roar, and his body quickly deformed as he ran. Thick hair quickly grew all over his body, and his arms instantly became twice as thick as before.
Sharp claws stretched out from between the fingers, and the head quickly deformed. Soon, the whole person turned into a vigorous cheetah!
The speed is several times faster than before.
He jumped between the rooftops, chasing the injured vampire. Rhodes followed closely behind him. Although he did not have the ability to transform, his strength and speed were not bad. Just like the chase scenes in countless movies, the prey and the hunter were one after another.
Running after jumping.
Perhaps due to being hit by a poisonous arrow, the vampire's speed fluctuated. However, just as it was about to catch up, it was quickly thrown away for a distance. It jumped onto the roof and then jumped into the alley. Rhodes drew his battle
The ax was thrown fiercely.
The Thunder Tomahawk pierced the night sky, but did not hit the target. It only smashed the fruit seller's stall. While running, Rhodes called out the Tomahawk. The mithril weapon engraved with the runes of the Flying Master then spun and flew.
Return to hand.
Soon, Caroline and Tarinham were left behind. At this time, Rhodes noticed that on the roof of the house on the other side, there was a person like himself, chasing the vampire at a very fast speed.
He is fast, steps as fast as flying, and his movements are as light as any assassin or ranger.
And this person is exactly the man in black they saw in the tavern these past few days...
