Chapter 104: Vampires

Kay's empty eyes refocused, and the beautiful little brother in front of him, as if he was a young lady, looked very kind, and the cat in his arms was so cute.

But do you still have something to eat at home? some bread, some lettuce in the backyard, oh, and berries from yesterday's trip to the woods.

"I still have some bread and raspberries at home, do you like to eat them?" Kay replied.

"Okay, your house is near here, right?" said Lily, dressed as a man.

"It's in the village over there. ”

"Are you waiting for someone?"

"I'm waiting for the workers who harvest the sugar cane. ”

"Then we won't delay your business, right?"

"No, sister. Come with me. ”

Follow the little girl to a mixed brick and wood house in the village, the house is relatively new, and the decoration and furniture look very warm.

Jacques also understood Lily's intentions at this time, and now that he rashly appeared in Kundo Town, he might encounter two escaped pirates or other people from the Mirror Troupe, so it would be safer to inquire about the news in the surrounding area first, and then find a way.

Huh, Lily is normal!

The little girl, Kay, took out everything she could eat in the house, although it was just ordinary bread, berries, dried fruits, lettuce, not even tea, and Jacques stuffed the bread into her stomach with the cold water from the well.

But at least you're full!

While eating, Lily chats with Kay and learns about the town.

In fact, Kayi's family is not in the town, and it is only the scope of the town that is protected by high walls, and the few villages scattered outside the town are mostly civilians who rent the lord's land.

All the surrounding land belonged to the lord of Sephran, and houses could only be built on the lord's land with the lord's permission and a fee.

Most of the townspeople worked in three occupations, sugar cane farmers, sugar mill workers, and the lord's private soldiers. As for the restaurants, bars, grocery stores, bakeries, etc., in the town, they are actually the lord's property.

The lord paid the salaries to the private soldiers, the workers, and the farmers, and then provided them with food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and took back the money.

But this is just a business trail, the real money is made of sugar, the empire is like a bottomless pit, the lord expands the production of sugar every year, but the price of sugar is rising, and the supply exceeds demand.

After eating, Jacques gave the little girl a silver coin, which was dozens of times the amount of money for the meal, and Kay hesitated for a moment but took it.

She needed money so much that with this silver coin he could hire at least two people to help harvest a batch of sugar cane, send it to the factory in exchange for a sum of money, and then hire someone to continue the harvest, and repeat it five times to exchange all the sugar cane in the field for silver coins.

Everything turned for the better, and Kay smiled.

Jacques and Lily got up to leave, perhaps finding a hotel in town for a night.

Seeing that the two were leaving, Kay's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stopped in front of the two and said, "Brother and sister, it's getting dark, don't go out at this time!"

Jacques asked, "Why don't you go out? We're just going to the town to find a place to stay, is it the lord who is arresting people?"

The little girl shook her head, but as if she remembered something sad, her voice was a little choked: "No, you go to the town now, the town gate should have been closed, not to arrest people, but to make vampires in the town recently!"

It's mine...... My father was ...... by a vampire the other day Woowoo woo ......"

Vampires?something the two had never heard before, so they sat down and listened carefully to the little girl's story.

It only appeared at night, sneaking up on ordinary people, the attacker suddenly disappeared, the body was found covered in blood, the victim division was really a town, four people have been killed in a month, and Kayi's father is the third victim.

Judging from the little girl's description, Jacques believes that it was done by some kind of alien beast, sucking human blood, and some spirit plants will also, but the attacked person will only be found near the spirit plant, so the possibility of a strange beast is higher.

Lily stroked the back of the little girl in her arms, comforted her, and said, "Are you alone in the house? What about your mother? What about the other relatives?"

Kaye replied, "My mother died of illness last year, and my father came to the New World from Stuart, and the family is in Stuart. I want to finish harvesting the sugar cane in the field, pay the lord's rent, sell the house, and go back to Stuart, I have an uncle in the countryside of Grasse, as my father told me. ”

"The lord can't catch the vampire, so it's not good for him, right?How many transcendents are there under the lord?" Jacques felt that it was the lord's dereliction of duty to have people in a row.

Kay replied, "The lord is completely ignorant of vampires now, and there will be vampires killing people every few years, and then after a few months, the vampires will disappear, and no one can say when they will come next time."

Father said that a few years ago, the lord also arranged for people to guard the town, and also invited the Grandmaster from Tavaré to help, but he still didn't catch the vampire, and then he didn't care, anyway, the vampire had enough to suck and left. ”

"Is it safe to be in the house, then?" Jacques wondered, could it really be a ghost?

"It's not safe, but it's much safer than outside, and every time the attack is late, people stay at home and don't dare to come out. Vampires can't find their prey before they attack the people in the house. Wolfe, the blacksmith who died yesterday, was sucked down of blood by a vampire in the shop. The little girl explained.

It seems that this is not a place to stay for long, there are strange beasts attacking, and it is still in the sphere of influence of the Mirror Regiment.

"Do you know what time the ferry from the town's docks to Tavaret usually departs?" Jacques asked, referring to the Duchy of Stuart's public transport, which runs between the big city and the town at regular times, delivering letters and carrying passengers, as long as you have silver coins.

"On the 5th and 20th of every month. Kay, who wanted to return to Stuart, was familiar with the ship, and she needed 2 silver coins to go to Tavaret, and then take the Tavaré direct mail ship to Grass, and the ticket said it would cost 20 silver coins.

The family's savings were used to save her mother last year, and now she can only rely on the sugar cane in the field and the house to pay for the journey.

There are still 6 days left before the ship to Tavaré departs, and Jacques and Lily have to wait in town for 6 days.

Now if you want to go to the city of Ryo, you have to go to Tavare first, and from there there are boats to go to Ryo.

As for going overland, Jacques didn't think about it at all!

Either through the rainforest or by a few thousand miles of detour through the Huerdo Pass, into the Papas steppe, and thousands of miles to the city of Ryo, neither of which is as convenient as taking a boat directly from Tavaré.

Jacques still had more than thirty silver coins looted from the pirates, and he took out ten of them and gave them to Cow, hoping to borrow them at her house for six days until the ship departed. The money is more out of sympathy for the little girl's plight and hopes to help her get through it.

Kay didn't expect that her brother and sister she met on the side of the road would be able to help her solve the problem that had been bothering her for many days, so she gladly accepted and gave up the master bedroom of the house to Jacques and Lily.

There was only one bed in the master bedroom, and Jacques and Lily were a little embarrassed when they entered the room, although they slept in the same cabin on the boat, but it was a bunk bed.

What now?
