According to the captain of the garrison, three days ago, a vampire appeared in the city. And the reason why it was determined that it was a vampire was two very strong evidences -- first, the people who were attacked were innocent and pure beautiful girls from large families, and second, all the victims were sucked blood. These two items alone are enough to determine that the guy who made everyone upset is a vampire.

Not only that, but the inhabitants of the city also discovered a serious target, which was a young nobleman named Kodla, who was born into a small aristocratic family, and was rarely close to others. And he didn't participate in much meetings among the nobles, and he hid alone in the ivy-covered manor all day long. There was only one thin old man who took care of his daily life, and it was not easy for anyone else to see him once a year. And the reason why he is considered a murderer is in addition to the fact that this kind of person himself is not very likable and easy to dislike. Another reason is that Kodra has been very keen on some dark arts since the beginning, of course, the so-called people are not in vain, every nobleman has this experience when he is young, and this is not special. But Kodra was different from the others, his obsession with dark magic was terrifying, and even the young people who had participated in some mysterious rituals with him admitted that Kodra looked even more intimidating during the rituals, as if a puppy that was usually shivering and always curled up in a ball suddenly transformed into a lion with its mouth wide open and roaring, which made people feel uneasy and frightened.

If these only deepened the suspicion of Kodla, the eyewitness testimony of the following series of witnesses had no room for escape. Before or after the murder of those young girls. Someone had seen Kodra near their home more than once. And the ages and identities of these witnesses range from respectable gentlemen to grooms who work at night. All sorts of people. And they were all convinced that they were seeing that Kodra was infallible. That way, unless the whole city hates him to the point where they don't need to confess and can frame him as they please. Otherwise, the evidence of Kodla's guilt is almost a foregone conclusion.

Now that the murderer has been identified, the next step is naturally to arrest him. As expected, when everyone came to Kodla's manor in a rage, there was no trace of Kodla. But even so, they searched the secret room of the manor for a series of evil texts about immortality, dark sacrifices, and a series of contents. There is also a copy of the Night Cult, which clearly states that as long as you dedicate the souls of thirteen pure and immaculate beautiful maidens, you can make an agreement with the powerful beings in the darkness and become a deadly and elegant night nobleman. So far. Eleven people had already been sacrificed in the city, and according to the mage who read the Codex, this meant that the contract was about to be completed, so he would definitely kill thirteen people here to complete the ritual instead of fleeing. As for all they have to do, all is to catch this damn bastard before he can complete the ritual, and then purify his evil soul once and for all.

That's why the garrison was so nervous, after all, they've pretty much turned the city upside down so far. But no trace of Kodra was found. Therefore, they suspect that the other party is likely to hide in the wilderness, and wait for the time to kill before returning from cover. It just so happened that Jenn's carriage looked unusual, which naturally aroused the vigilance of those soldiers, for fear that it was Kordra's great work and came to find trouble for him.

But now it looks. That doesn't seem to be the case.

"Anyway, dear sir, if you are just passing by by chance. Then it's best to leave as soon as possible. That cold-blooded demon will definitely return. We are very sure of this, and you have such a beautiful and lovely young lady by your side........." as he said. The captain of the garrison couldn't help but glance at Elise standing next to him, and Remilia, who was bored admiring her freshly applied nail polish in the moonlight. “……… There's a good chance you'll be targeted by that demon. Frankly, we can't send any more people now. ”

"That means you've guessed the next person he might be targeted?"

Hearing this, Jenn couldn't help but glance at Elise, and then the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he asked. Hearing his inquiry, the captain of the garrison also nodded, and then spoke.

"Yes, according to our investigation, that guy likes the aristocratic lady the most, and the previous victims are all descendants of the family with a head and face in the city, I heard that the reason why that kid is staring at those eldest ladies is because a big lady he once had a crush on is about to get married, so the kid hurriedly went to confess......... Cut, not to mention those nobles, we all think it's unreliable. Everyone knows what that kid is. is full of money, but the eldest lady is going to marry everyone's son, and she is a good person, and the two grew up as childhood sweethearts, and their relationship has been very good since childhood. Compared to them, I doubt that the eldest lady has known that idiot for three days, and she dared to confess to him, which is really brain-pumping......... Tut-tut........."

As he spoke, the captain of the garrison also shook his head, but it was estimated that he himself also found that he had mistracked the topic, so he quickly pulled it back.

"Anyway, the eldest lady didn't promise him anyway, and then he disappeared. Soon after that, these bizarre killings took place, and the eldest lady was also the first victim. And even her body was missing later, alas, it was indeed suspicious to think about that bastard at that time, but everyone didn't think about it that way after all........."

At this, the captain of the garrison sighed again, then glanced at Elise again, and then leaned into Jenn's ear and whispered.

"My lord, it's not that I'm trying to scare you, to be honest, this female companion of yours does have some resemblance to that eldest lady, not that they look alike, where in the world are there no two identical leaves? It's temperament, and that lady and your female companion have a temperament, how to say, that kind of feeling that when you see her, you want to protect her and let her not be hurt by grievances. Like me, when I saw your female companion, I immediately remembered the eldest lady. So I advise you to still be careful and it is better to leave here during the day. So as not to make any mistakes, it will be troublesome. ”

Hearing the captain of the garrison, Jenn couldn't help but smile, of course he understood what the other party meant. Elise looks like a good "little victim" who has been bullied. As a beautiful girl, every man who sees her will have a unique charm that can't help but want to hold her in his arms and comfort her not to be sad, and even willing to give her the whole world to make the beauty smile. It's just that Jenn knows very well that don't look at Elise like this, she will only show an attitude that matches her appearance in front of herself. At other times, the eldest lady ignores anyone, although the words are very respectful, but the feeling of rejection thousands of miles away can be perceived. Anyone who really looks at this and falls for it will be in bad luck.

But what makes Jenn feel even more weird is Remilia's ability, which is too godly. Although he hadn't figured out exactly what could be linked to Elise's fate, Remilia's abilities were unprecedented. You must know that Jenn is often out and about, and he really rarely gets entangled in other things other than the things he did, but this time it seems to be ............

"Bang!!"

Just as Jenn was about to say something more to the captain of the garrison, suddenly, an explosion was heard not far away, and then a red firework flew into the air. Seeing this scene, the captain of the garrison also changed his face greatly.

"Not good! Something went wrong, and that guy reappeared!! ”

As he spoke, the captain of the garrison hurriedly and loudly greeted the guards on the city wall.

"Light the torches, prepare the bow and crossbow, keep an eye on the surroundings, don't let that guy escape, we must catch it!!"

“――――！！”

As if to respond to the captain's words, at this moment, suddenly there was a strange shrill laugh in the night sky not far away, and then a huge, pitch-black, bat-like shadow flew up and rushed towards the city gate. At this moment, the guards had just had time to light the torches, and before they could start to organize a counterattack, they saw the black shadow scream and wave its wings, and then saw two or three unlucky guards hit by the strong air current, screaming and falling off the wall. At this moment, the other guards reacted, screaming and attacking the target in front of them, but their arrows were completely bounced off just by hitting the surface of the opponent's body, and it seemed that the huge body surface was like a heavy rubber, which was difficult to penetrate.

Apparently proud of the blow that had subdued the guards, the Dark Shadow spread its wings, screamed again and flew towards the night sky.

And at this moment, it turned its head and glanced in the direction of Jenn and the others.

The next moment, I saw that monster suddenly turn around, spread its wings, and pounced straight towards Jenn and the others!

PS: Yesterday I took a plane to Hainan, arrived at the plane at 1 o'clock in the morning, and then took another hour and a half to get to the place, and when I returned to the stronghold, I felt that the whole person was going to collapse......... Tired............ (To be continued......)
