Triva was running in the shadows against the mountain wall.

Although he knew his name was "Triva", he wasn't quite sure which "Triva" it was, but at least he wasn't the fool who had been reduced to ashes.

After seizing Stareo's estate many years ago, the Triva thieves regarded it as a lair, and after the death of the elder Triva, his sons and various relatives with the same surname Triva had a lot of conflicts, because of the uneven distribution of the spoils or some other reason, and each wanted to kill the others, so when Silverhand came with "that power" two years ago to offer cooperation, it was almost unanimously agreed.

"Becoming a vampire" is very simple, and there are no obvious drawbacks other than "being hunted down by guards when discovered" and "bloodthirsty", which are not painful for bandits, but it is very difficult to go further.

"Vampire Maharaja's bloodline", this is the name of those Silver Hands for "that kind of power", if you can transform from ordinary vampires to this bloodline, you don't have to fight with a silver weapon that may hurt you at any time, but there are very few successful people in the entire thief group, they are all directly invited to the Silver Hand headquarters to carry out some big plan, and all that is left is the idiot who died during the raid of the comrade group two days ago, and the bloodline that has inexplicably evolved in the battle.

Becoming a vampire and evolving into a "Maharaja" will lose some of your memories, as the Silverhand guys said beforehand, but Triva is still very annoyed that he can't remember who he really is, and he plans to take advantage of the wolf cubs of those comrades-in-arms to search the manor for information, and in turn raid their headquarters in Xueman and kill those comrades-in-arms reserves, but what will he say then?

- Remember, it was Mistress Triva who killed you.

- Which Triva?

This kind of conversation was only imaginary, but he was unsteady on his feet, and he was exposed to the sun without judging where he would land, and the burning and pain that followed made Triva stop.

Those damn silver hands obviously have reservations, they never said that the Maharaja's form would be so afraid of the sun, but after being irradiated for a moment, the wings have already begun to turn black as if they were burned by fire, if they are illuminated by the sun without obstruction, I am afraid that all the vampire abilities will be used to repair injuries constantly, and his strength will probably not be as good as ordinary people.

It was for this reason that he did not make a beeline for Xueman after escaping from the watchtower, first hiding in a prison where the Storm Cloak was holding the infidels, hunting for food to restore their strength and convert them, who would apparently make a fuss around them and attract the attention of the nosy comrades.

Last night he had made his way to the snowy man, and before dawn he had reached the tower where another robber had entrenched, and had done it again, this time with a robber stronghold that was enough to keep the werewolves out for a long time with a few barricades.

Triva had planned to wait here until night before setting off, but the dependents released from the prison disappeared one by one at a rapid pace, apparently having already encountered the comrades, and if they did not leave at this time, they would only be driven back to the snowy tower and blocked in this tower, so he forcibly rushed to Xueman during the day after giving the order to set up a barricade and not allow anyone to pass.

Silverhand is very well-informed, so there is no need for him to report the news of the destruction of the watchtower, Triva thought about the plan: now start from the outskirts of Snowman City, turn those farmers and hired laborers who don't have much strength into 'blood slaves', and then let them attack Snowman City, and then restore their original form and take advantage of the chaos to transform more residents in the city in the plains, and even the newcomers of the Brothers-in-Arms, when the situation is uncontrollable, those guys in the Brothers-in-Arms have to reveal their werewolf identities, and then take the opportunity to directly raid the lord.

Yes, Lord "The Great Shore" Barguf, those guys in the Silver Hand don't know what they were thinking, and it seems that they only plan to do something to their comrades, but don't they know that infiltrating the snow and attacking Moon Vasca will also cause the lord to be angry?

For the Triva Bandits, Barguf, who had beaten them to pieces and driven them out of the snow, was the first enemy, and although there may have only been a few of them now, and he had forgotten his name, it was good that he had not forgotten his hatred for Barguf.

"Huh...... Are the low-level bloodlines of the tower all wiped out? But it doesn't matter, even if you start running at full strength now, it's too late. Hiding behind a boulder to hide from the sun, she gazed with her dull yellow eyes at the nearby farms and the snow-covered city to the south built on a towering mountain cliff.

————

"I'll fix your carriage, Mr. Clown, and now, can you please leave my house?" Vantus said to the person in front of him with anger.

Vantus Roreyous, the owner of Loreyous Farm, because his farm grows some crops that like cold and dry, did not go to mix with the farms on both sides of the White River in the south, and invited several farmers who planted the same crops to settle together in the north of Xueman, near the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

Although this location is still within the monitoring range of the White Hope Tower, if something really happens, the tower's sentinels will not be able to catch up, and finally the captain of the guard will arrange a patrol route for the guards for these farms.

A few hours earlier, the wheels of a freight wagon had broken near the farm, driven by the man in front of him, who had dressed himself as a clown and called himself Cicero, who had come to the farm and offered dozens of gold coins to help fix the car, which was a good income for Vantus, who had no farm work to do at this time.

But the problem is, this guy doesn't seem to be quite normal.

His red hair stood up strangely, his face was as pale as a layer of powder, his slender eyes were painted with water droplets and stars, and his tongue was stretched out from time to time to lick his lips.

"That's not going to work~ (Cubes)" Cicero said in a strange tone: "Mother asked Cicero to follow you until the carriage was fixed~ (spades)"

Hell yes! Vantus almost threw the car repair tool he was packing up at him, what kind of monster would make the obedient person's head pop out of the pattern when he spoke.

As for the "mother", according to him, it was in the huge wooden box on the carriage, and it could not be the real mother of this clown, but probably some kind of strange religious totem.

"Well, Mr. Cicero, doesn't it matter if you leave your mother's coffin out like that? Why don't we go and watch first? Cove Roreyus, Vantus' wife, asked softly.

"Hehe~ Thank you for your concern~ (hearts) It's just that the coffin is very strong~ It doesn't need special care~ (Plum blossoms)" Cicero curled the corners of his mouth at her and smiled.

This is the second place where Cicero disgusted Vantus, even with his weird clown makeup and ridiculous clown costume, he still couldn't hide his handsome appearance.

"Humph! Get ready, let's fix your carriage! Vantus picked up his toolbox and strode out the door, he had to get the clown away as soon as possible, or the head of the family would be shaken.

"[桀——! As soon as he stepped out of the house, Vantus saw a humanoid monster with ugly wings, all green, and still emitting black smoke, swooping towards him with its mouth full of fangs.

"Hell." Vantus, who didn't have time to react, blurted out.

"That's not going to work~ (block)" "Click! ”

The monster's powerful bite completely shattered the toolbox that Vantus was carrying, and he himself flew back into the house under the tuk of some inexplicable force behind him.

"Although it feels strange for Cicero to save people~ (hearts), but after all, it is a mother's request~ (hearts)" Cicero threw the frightened Vendus to Cove and walked outside: "It seems to be a good prey~ (Spades)"

The green monster hid back under the big tree where he had been hiding, staring at Cicero with his eyes glowing with a dull yellow light: "[Giggles]"

"Hmm~Can't speak~ (square)" Cicero spread his hands out, and between his fingers was a boxy, unpatterned, and faint purple card, and with a wave of his arm, they whistled towards the green monster.

"Roar! The green monster struck down the cards with a wave of its claws, and they disappeared the moment they landed, and just as it was about to provoke Cicero, it found that the other party had rushed in front of it, and the same card was slashed at its throat with the same card between its fingers.

Boom - The card left a bloody gash on the green monster's neck, but it also flew into the air, claws holding a cloud of magical energy ready to unleash.

"Your life energy will become my nourishment! The green monster spoke, dropping the red magic in his hand as he threw it down.

"Oops~ Isn't this a way to talk~ (square)" Cicero turned his head to look at the Vantus couple who were trembling in the house, and directly raised his hand and closed their door far away.

Boom - Squeak - The red magic ball exploded instantly after it landed, and the crops within its area of effect instantly withered, turning into a stream of dark red energy that merged into the body of the green monster, and the wound on its neck instantly healed.

"Oh yes oh ~ this is really inefficient ~ (spades)" Cicero was out of the area of effect before the explosion, and was now in front of the strange objects in the air.

"[You were an accident~]" the monster said, "But unless you know how to fly, don't try to stop my revenge on Xue Man!" 】”

"Cicero is not interested in your 'revenge'~ (Plum Blossom) just wants to-" Before Cicero finished speaking, the figure had already come to the green monster in the air at a speed that the other party could not react at all: "Just kill you~ (Block)"

Sneer——!

When Vantus pushed open the door tremblingly, he saw only a black wreckage in the air that was about to burn out, and Cicero, the clown who had landed in front of him unscathed.

"You'd better find some more tools~ (hearts)" Cicero said, "Cicero and his mother are in a hurry to hit the road~ (spades)"
