For the next few days, the border town was on high alert.Originally, it was enough to focus on monitoring the movements in the north, but now it is necessary to watch out for it everywhere.A few people were so frightened by the vampire rumors that they not only closed their doors and windows, but also refused to let their children go to school, even free lunches.This is not going to work, the vampire incident must be solved quickly.Under the arrangement of Viscount Jarvis, the time and frequency of patrols have increased a lot, and nothing suspicious has been found for the time being.There was no progress on the search team's side.After all, the Sky Dome Mountain Range is so big, and if you want to find a target who is deliberately hiding, you are undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.Clive's door-to-door interviews were completed quickly, presumably because of the experience gained from previous censuses.Owen listened to Clive's report and learned that in recent days, only a few civilians had been injured in accidents on the job or otherwise, and that no one had been killed.That is, the vampires did not attack the civilians of the border towns.This was good news, and it confirmed Owen's previous suspicion that the vampire had no intention of harming humans, perhaps an innocent person who had been forced to convert.Judging from the situation reported by Lu Sha, the overall situation in Frontier Town is quite stable at present, and the vampire turmoil has not caused much panic.Mainly thanks to Owen's timely treatment, whether it is the increased number of patrols on the street, or the door-to-door reassurance and inquiry, it can increase the sense of security of the people.During this period, the northern side of the city wall was not peaceful, and there were already several small groups of undead monsters attacking.Although it has been annihilated by the joint annihilation of various troops, these are all precursors, indicating that the second wave of offensive has been formed, and the undead monsters will soon move south.In order to deal with the impending crisis, Owen had to consider whether to call back all the members of the search group.After successfully blocking the second wave of attacks, go to the Sky Dome Mountains to continue searching for vampires.In doing so, it will be extremely difficult to find the vampire, and God knows if the vampire will run farther away during this time.Just then, Rusha hurried to the castle with one of his clansmen, saying that he had discovered the vampire's hideout.So fast?
Owen was slightly surprised and hurriedly let them in to explain the situation.Since Viscount Jarvis was in charge of the battle on the northern wall, Owen made a special case for Rusha to be in charge of searching for vampires.A search team consists of an agile lizard and a shooting team, so that they can take care of each other.There is no need to worry about the issue of trust, both sides are comrades-in-arms who have fought together on the northern wall, and basic mutual trust has long been formed.If they find something, the hunter will stay on guard, and the lizardman will run back to report to Rusha.When it comes to human transmission, agile lizardfolk can run far faster than humans, and can even use water as flat ground and run wildly on it."
Haha!
The search party found a vampire in an abandoned cave of magic stones. ”As soon as he entered the room, Rusha couldn't wait to report the results of his search to Owen."
I didn't expect to be able to find a vampire so quickly, it's so efficient."
Owen complimented."
Of course, my people have lived in the secret forest for so long, and they are many times better than your hunters in searching for prey!"
Looking at Lu Sha's proud appearance, it is estimated that the people he sent played a key role in this search."
Can you tell me how you found out?"
Owen needs to know the details."
No problem."
Lu Sha turned to a tall and thin clansman beside him and said, "Shiron, you can explain." ”Owen had a little impression of this Shilon, and he was the lizardman who had rushed over to him for help.Shiron stepped forward and began to explain the process of discovery."
After searching in the Sky Dome Mountains for several days, I accidentally found a buried one-horned rabbit corpse under the snow, which is a weak monster.The blood was drained from all over the body, leaving only the shriveled corpse.Upon examination, I found vampire bite marks on it. ”"You can find the corpses buried under the snow."
Owen was curious as to how the lizardmen found out."
Of course."
Shiron gave a confident expression, "Even if it is buried in the snow, the corpse can still emit a faint smell.We can't smell these smells, but we lizardmen can smell them. ”"I see."
Shiron continued: "Then, my partner Maddie and I focused on this corpse and expanded the scope of the search.Combined with what is known, vampires like to hide in shady places, and we find an abandoned magic stone mine and find signs of people entering and exiting the cave to determine that the vampire is hiding inside. ”actually called the humans on the same team partners, which shows how good the relationship between the two is.And Shilon's teammate turned out to be Maddie.It is he again, who has repeatedly made great contributions to the border town, and this kind of talent must be rewarded."
Good."
Owen nodded in satisfaction, then stood up and said to the two people in front of him, "Without further ado, we're going to prepare for the arrest operation."
If at night, the vampire notices that something is wrong and lets the target run away. ”Ending this sooner rather than later will allow the people to reassure themselves and focus on dealing with the threat from the north.Owen sent someone to Bishop Flynn to ask for the support of the priests, and then took the two Rusa and Marpel to the northern wall, intending to select a few good fighters to participate in the capture operation.Owen will also go to the arrest in person.Honestly, he cares if this vampire is really innocent.If so, I hope to avoid fighting and persuade the other side to accept the judgment of the church, so that they can live without hiding in Tibet.I heard the farmer describe that the vampire wore simple animal skins as clothes, and seemed to have suffered a lot.After explaining the situation to Viscount Jarvis, he personally selected four knights with good skills to participate in the capture operation.Originally, Viscount Jarvis also planned to go with him, but Owen forcibly left behind, because the northern wall needed a commander who could coordinate the overall situation.Owen doesn't have to worry about his safety, with the protection of two powerful people, Marpel and Rusha, I believe that vampires can't get close.As soon as he came out of the tent, Owen saw Teresa come over with a solemn face."
Lord Owen, Bishop Flynn has sent me to assist you in capturing vampires.""
It's best to have you there."
Owen said with a smile.Teresa is the best magician in Frontier Town, and is undoubtedly the best helper against vampires.After making sufficient preparations, the group headed towards the Sky Dome Mountain Range under the leadership of Shiron.
