"Akatosh is on top!"

"Shure is on top!"

"Azula bless me!"

In front of several caves near the swamps north of Mossar, a large number of heavily armed mercenaries gathered. At the command of the Nord giant, who looked like the leader, the mercenaries of various races shouted these slogans, armed with various weapons, and slaughtered in a mighty manner.

"Alas, what a trouble......" Alice, who was reluctant to enter at the end of the line, showed a disgusted expression and sighed in a low voice.

The scene in front of her composed of rude, rude, and uneducated people really shocked her heart.

"However, it seems that the vampires guarding the gate are weak...... And there are no traps and precautions, is it too careless? Listening to the sounds of fighting and the howls of vampires soon coming from the cave, Alice thought to herself.

"That...... Mistress Alice...... It's almost time for you to go in......" The Mercenary Guild Overseer next to him cautiously tried to speak to Alice. After all, the prestige of the "Eternal Night Magician" is far and wide, and these people who are used to it do not dare to show disrespectful thoughts. Alice just waved her hand to show that she knew, and then opened a void magic and rushed in.

As Alice expected, the cleanup went well. These warriors of different races formed their own varsity teams, with sword and shield men attracting firepower, reloading the sword master melee output, and archers grouping in groups. As soon as any vampire dared to appear in the group's field of vision, they would immediately be shot into hedgehogs by a bunch of bows and arrows, and then dismembered by several warriors - rather, the internal quarrel over the ownership of the head was far louder than the battle itself.

"Not to mention the Nightcrawler, I haven't even seen a Fog Walker...... It seems that there is really some big move on Morningstar's side? Alice, who was not interested at all in the face of a school of miscellaneous fish, just walked lazily behind the large army, thinking boredly. What could it be that the vampire masters who had just broken through the Hall of the Vigilant and were planning to attack the main city inhabited by humans suddenly put down what they were doing and gathered in the snowy mountains outside Morning Star City?

"Let's wait and ask Bernardo later......" Alice thought to herself, as she watched as a Nord man in front of her smashed a fist in the face of a Brighton man who was arguing with him - the two were arguing over the ownership of the three vampire heads. I hope you get the thing you want, or I'll waste my day. ”

“Feim-Zii-Gron。 (Dragon's Roar: Phantom Ethereal) "In a passage deep in the cavern, Bernardo is walking at breakneck speed. And with his whispers, his body turned into a strange transparent, whether it was the poisonous arrows hidden in the mechanism, the magic runes scattered on the ground that exploded, or the deadly venom of poisonous insects, they could not hurt the boy in the slightest. The boy walked calmly through the passage, and then flicked his hand without looking back, and a flame instantly filled the entire passageway, ablating all the mechanisms into ashes.

"This is around here." Remembering the information he had received a few days ago, the boy looked around. His instincts told him that several mid-to-high-end vampires had been awakened by the noise of bursting magic runes and were rushing towards here.

"It's so inexperienced...... the young man bowed his head and sighed, "Ice Spear Fu!" As the boy shouted, several ice picks shot out of astonishing energy around the corners of the nearby passageway, and the vampires who had just rushed here were shot through their necks by the sudden magic blow and fell limply to the ground.

Without looking at the corpses, the boy walked into one of the compartments—the storage room for the vampires in the cave, with precious alchemical potions, valuable gold and silver jewelry, and rare things stolen from the town at night—but Bernardo didn't care at all, his eyes locked on a glittering crystal ball in a glass display case.

The glass was broken. The boy reached out and pulled out the crystal ball, which shimmered seductively in the light of the torches in the darkroom.

"Mortal." Suddenly, from the depths of the young man's mind, a rather majestic female voice sounded: "Take my token, return to the Kilkes Mountains, and place it on the beacon on the top of the mountain." ”

“…… Who are you? The boy asked knowingly.

"Don't ask, mortal." The voice replied, "Come to the Kilkes Mountains and all your doubts will be revealed." ”

After that, the female voice vanished, as if it had never existed.

"Sure enough, the information is correct, the token of the Meritia Demon God...... So, what's the matter with Miss Demon God looking for me? ”

"Got it?" In the room of the inn, the young man who had just put his weapon on the table pushed the door in, and the girl asked impatiently.

The boy didn't answer, just took out the crystal ball in his hand and shook it.

"In that case...... My remuneration ......"

"Isn't this being taken......" The boy shook his head, angrily and amusefully, took out a small bottle from his package and threw it to the girl, "The Black Soul Stone Deposit you want." Collected in the black drop. ”

"Good." The girl took the vial and looked happily at the black oily object inside. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she looked up and asked, "So, when are you going to the Kilkes Mountains?" ”

"How do you know where I'm going?" The boy asked curiously, he probably hadn't told her where he was going.

"You think I don't know what it is?" The girl laughed, "Meritia's Stone of Light, right?" ”

"I didn't really know it was called the Light Stone." The boy scratched his head.

"Well, anyway, you're here to get this for the demon artifact, right?" The girl said dryly, "There is no need to hide the prestige of ...... 'Dawnbreaker', although it is not spread among mortals, but among people like 'us', absolutely everyone knows about it. ”

“…… Precisely. I wanted to get this first, and then solve the problem that Islam and they gave me. The boy reluctantly confessed.

"Sure enough, it was the Dawn Guards who conveyed the vampires' movements......" The girl smiled slyly and folded her hands, "I wonder if you'd like to make another deal with me?" ”

"It's finally ......" Looking at the sun that was about to set not far away, and the majestic female statue at the top of the mountain under the sunset, the young man let out a long breath.

"Now, it's time for the 'inspection'...... 'Daybreaker', the legendary nemesis of the undead and the predator of Morag Barr, will be able to live up to my expectations......
