When she finally experienced what it was like to grow up, she couldn't be happy at all.

In addition to the fact that the process of 'growing up' was so miserable that she didn't want to think about it at all...... Looking down at her chest a little, Loria knew that some things in this world were predestined, neither time nor magic could change the inevitable fate, and life was hopeless, and she began to thank Nozdom, at least she could have an excuse that no one believed when she was locked in a young age, and she could not look directly at the cruel truth, and she could still have a lie to comfort herself...... It will be fine later.

The sky was gray.

She walked with her head bowed, and gradually moved away from the mountains and into the open valley.

At least you won't fall...... She felt very heavy, as if she was being dragged down all over her body, and I don't know if it was because she had grown taller or because she was wearing cumbersome leather armor...... She has always worn only ordinary clothes, and she does not need any form of armor for speed and agility.

When she was tired of walking, she sat down against a lonely little tree, on either side of the mountains, the Valley of the Hearthplace was much richer and more extensive than the valley occupied by the Abbey, at least the Crusaders of the Valley of the Hearth were not as hungry as they had before, but she had not seen orchards or farms along the way, and had heard that the Crusaders of the Valley of the Hearth were even more fanatical, and that they had wasted this great land.

The sun was so uncomfortable that she wanted to bring her parasol, but in order to sneak in, she couldn't show it too conspicuously...... In fact, no female crusader warrior was as squeamish as her, and even in the state of the third stage, Clement or Sharia could stand motionless under the scorching sun until she fainted.

How did they do it? Loria couldn't understand it, she had also experienced the feeling of being exposed to the sun in the third stage, it was like countless needles piercing the skin, and then being scalded with boiling oil, although there would be no wounds on the body for a short time, but the pain felt far more than the pain of being burned by the flames...... Blood vessels and internal organs can also be damaged, and I heard that there are also vampires who have been sunburned to death.

Loria turned slightly to the side to curl up as much as possible, hiding in the palm-sized shadow, she was lucky, her cycle was longer than most of her compatriots, even if the last 'eating' was more than half a month ago, she still remained in the early stage of the second stage, this stage of being exposed to the sun will make dizzy, and the body will also accelerate the loss, but except for fatigue and discomfort, the body will not be irreversibly damaged.

She remembered Kana's research, which for nearly a year had been deciphering the accounts of vampires brought from Snowman, even to the edge of taboo...... Use volunteers to do some relatively safe practice.

To observe her movements, Loria silently reminded herself that she did not want a demon to be around her who was cruel to the human body...... Kana's ongoing research has yielded some results, following Skyrim's explanation, in which she defines vampire fever as a special disease that spreads through bodily fluids, a hypothesis that Loria agrees with, and unlike others, her blood inevitably converts humans into vampires, while the people she bites have nothing...... The reason why vampire fever spreads in the monastery is that the group of people she directly converts is contagious, and they can spread vampire fever with a low probability when they eat, but their blood is not contagious.

Is it because of the mutation of the disease or because the Azeroths are less resistant to blood-sucking fever?

Loria didn't know, and Kana couldn't give her any answers, all they knew was that most people wouldn't be infected (unless Loria bleeds), the disease seemed to have intelligence of its own, always controlling its numbers, and the massive vampire fever outbreak they feared at the beginning never showed even a hint of thinness.

Based on this hypothesis, Kana also deduced that vampire fever is the most virulent disease in existence today, and that once infected, the host will not be infected with other pathogenic organisms...... Azeroth's medicine has always been suppressed by the popularization of sacred magic, and it is clear that there is a lack of sufficient systematic treatment methods, and it is still stuck in the process of using herbs to cure diseases based on experience, but it is strangely ahead of its time in theory...... Loria shook her head and stopped thinking about the reason, Kana's reasoning was confirmed, she and her people had never caught a cold, and even some people who had been exposed to the plague of the dead showed no signs of conversion, and of course, eating too much would cause stomach problems...... Vampires are still unable to defend themselves against endogenous diseases and aging that is much slower than the average human.

Special humans who cannot be infected by the undead...... It's simply the predator of the undead.

All the vampires were ecstatic to this discovery, and some even began to believe that the changes that had taken place in themselves were a gift from the Light, and Loria was the messenger of the Light.

Kana's research results are far more than that, and most of the rest are small knowledge gained through observation and experience, such as the awakening of a talent with transformation, but almost no one has two talents at the same time like Loria, which is the same as the vampires in Skyrim Province, and there is an interesting speculation - vampire fever cannot be cured but can be suppressed by medicine, and this medicine is the blood of ordinary humans...... She and her people have always oscillated back and forth between humans and monsters, time pushing them to the monster's side, and human blood can temporarily reverse this eternal process.

Fierce, violent, eerie, unstable, this is the characteristic of vampire fever.

Magic, curses, microbes, and vampire fever pathogens are unknown, but they have become one with the host, living and dying together.

There is no other way but to accept it and your own transformation.

Enhanced host ...... Automatic control of the propagation range...... Loria fell into a short, restless sleep, as if she saw something hidden in her blood, an ancient and dark intelligent life that would live on forever in blood and pain.

When she woke up again, the pesky sun was finally sinking into the mountains in the distance.

Will people worship the moon many years from now?Or maybe secrets will be revealed, and then they will be plunged into never-ending strife and killing?

Loria shook her head and didn't think about the speculation about the future, the secret still had to be kept tightly, but Azeroth was different from Skyrim in that there were more grotesque and bizarre creatures, and as the latecomer, the youngest intelligent race, humanity was far more accepting of the alien than they had imagined.

You can be friends with orcs and undead, and it's not a big deal to have a cute neighbor with little tiger teeth.

As if hearing her thoughts, a change that was hidden in her blood began slowly, slowly.

In order to survive, you can only infect those hosts that are easy to welcome. (To be continued.) )
