Sauron had just entered with his front foot when a figure followed him on his back foot.

However, instead of going straight through the main door like Sauron, he quietly entered one of the rooms through the side window. The rooms here are lavishly furnished and out of place in the middle of nowhere, and there are even some expensive oriental porcelain on the ledges in the corners. The floors were covered with soft carpets, the quilts in the rooms were of expensive velvet, and the décor was not in any sense of the way a small aristocrat in the middle of nowhere.

There is not much arable land in Withered Leaf Town, and there are not many specialties, and the tax mainly depends on the rent collected by the lord.

This amount of money is barely enough to maintain a decent life.

It is estimated that in some larger cities, slightly wealthy merchants can live a little more comfortably than such aristocrats.

But now looking at the decoration in this house, at least it is the level of the viscount noble, that is, the luxurious decoration of the private estate of the middle-class noble.

This aristocratic background may not be very clean!

Sauron walked around the rather lavish mansion and realized that the other party's identity might not be clean.

To put it simply.

Normal income can't sustain this kind of life, ordinary bedrooms are this level of decoration, and it is estimated that the owner's bedroom can be comparable to Golia's bedroom in White Horse City.

What is Goliath's identity?

She is a member of the Northland Witches Council, the de facto ruler of a Northland city, and the two are not comparable in status.

Da-da-da-da.

Sauron suddenly stopped in his tracks, he was completely invisible in his stealth state, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered by others at all. A vampire servant had just walked in front of him, unaware of Sauron, who was standing a meter in front of him. Unless it was Sauron who had a distinct smell of blood, and relied on the vampire's blood-tracking ability to detect it, it was basically impossible for them to detect Sauron's existence.

There was a slight noise in the other room.

Sauron took a wary step back, and saw a room with a window on the side being opened, but there was no sign of it. The door was only gently opened, and then gently closed.

Straggler!

There's also a high-level wanderer here.

The opponent's stealth ability is comparable to that of Sauron, Sauron has no way to see through the opponent's stealth, and the other party doesn't seem to be aware of Sauron.

If it weren't for the sudden opening of the door, it is estimated that the two people would have to be close enough to be able to discover each other by relying on their perception and experience accumulation. But now that Sauron had determined the other party's position first, the opportunity was inadvertently in his hands, and if he wanted to, he could even kill the target in three seconds.

But if he did, his tracks would be exposed.

There was a hint of curiosity in Sauron's heart. temporarily restrained the idea of determining the identity of the other party, but quietly followed behind, pulling a certain distance, and then planned to see what he came here to spy on.

Certainly not a vampire person!

Not many people would be bored enough to play stealth in their own territory, and he had apparently waited for the vampire servants to walk away before coming out, most likely a stalker from another faction.

In such a remote town, except for Sauron the Eyeless, there could be no high-level wanderers.

The house is bigger.

The wanderer in front seemed to be more familiar, and he must have come to investigate secretly, only to see him come to a door in a hurry. A door to the basement then opened.

Squeak.

There was a distinct sound coming from the door as it was opened, and the wanderer in front seemed a little nervous.

After opening the door, he sneaked in, and then he closed the door casually. Closing the door was undoubtedly not a good habit, and Sauron had no choice but to wait where he was for a while. Only then did he gently open the door. There are torches on both sides of the basement, and the stairs below lead to the depths, and it looks like there are tunnels, and it is estimated that it has been arranged here for some years.

Just entered the basement.

Sauron smelled a faint smell of blood.

at the corner of the staircase. He saw a limp corpse, and the method of killing was crisp and sharp, and it was very simple to kill with one blow. Hit the enemy directly in the heart, and then twisted the opponent's neck.

"He's a master!"

Sauron glanced at the corpse, his expression gradually became serious, the vitality of the vampire servant is very tenacious, and being able to kill with such a sharp blow is definitely not something that ordinary wanderers can do. Either he was a seasoned veteran or a high-level professional with a class level of 16 or higher, and Sauron could tell a bit of the Assassin's ruthlessness from where the corpse had been hit.

This guy may have been trained in the fight of assassins!

There were some strange frescoes along the passageway, and Sauron didn't have time to look at them, as he had found two more corpses in front of him.

"Close to the strength of the legend!"

Sauron glanced at the two corpses that had fallen in the corner, and his expression became more and more stern, because the two enemies were still killed with one blow, and without alerting the others, he killed both enemies at the same time. Even with Sauron's current ability, it is not so easy, and the previous wanderer's career level may have reached 18 or above.

In other words, he is at least a quasi-legendary wanderer!

As he went deeper and deeper into it, Sauron's vision gradually broadened, and a large secret chamber appeared in front of him, the most striking of which was one of the altar-like buildings, with a blood pool in the center of this altar, and several smaller blood pools on all sides. No wonder these vampires didn't notice that their companions had been killed, the smell of blood here was so strong that it was almost impossible for them to smell anything else.

Altar of the Vampire Son of God!

As dark creatures that feed on the blood of the living, Sauron naturally didn't expect to see anything good near their altar.

However, looking at the size of these blood pools, it seems that vampires have been entrenched here for a while, and there are no dozens or hundreds of missing people who can't pretend to be in these blood pools at all.

A prayer service is taking place inside the altar!

In the center is a priest in a black robe, and then an old man dressed as an obvious nobleman, vampires do not age, so his current appearance undoubtedly means that he was transformed into a vampire by others after his body entered a state of old age. As for the reasons for becoming a vampire, it is estimated that there are no more than that.

Fanatical prayer rituals.

Sauron didn't spot the original wanderer, but he could be sure that the other party was hiding somewhere nearby.

"Bring the offerings!"

After completing the final prayer, the black-robed priest commanded the believers kneeling under the altar.

Soon.

And a man was brought to the altar.

His body was shackled in chains, and from his back he didn't seem to be an ordinary person, and he didn't need to be locked up with shackles forged from steel to deal with ordinary people.

It's a pro!

Sauron couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly from behind, and he couldn't judge his class, so he could only be sure that he should be a melee professional.

But.

As the sacrificial man was brought up, Sauron immediately noticed that the shadows in the vicinity were twisted.

"Get on your knees!"

The black-robed priest shouted with a grim expression, but he was responded to by a mouthful of thick phlegm and a voice with a frenzied aura. "The eyeless is the true God! You false believers won't live long! ……”

Bang.

A heavy punch was struck, and the man's words were forced back.

Hearing what he said, Sauron immediately sorted out the ins and outs of the matter, it seemed that there was a conflict between the Eyeless and the Vampire Church, and both sides wanted to carve this place into their own territory, and it looked like the Eyeless believer had been captured by the vampires. When the man on the altar was punched hard, Sauron also saw the other man's appearance when he turned sideways, this man only had one eye, and the other eye socket was empty.

A high-ranking member of the Eyeless Order!

Only true fanatics would gouge out their own eyes, and it's no wonder that high-ranking wanderers came to his rescue.

But.

How does a one-man wanderer defeat these vampires?

As soon as a trace of doubt appeared in Sauron's heart, he felt a vibration around him, followed by a violent noise from above.
