The houses in the slums are densely packed, with high and low buildings crammed together, a small three-story building made of stone walls may be next to a low, messy shack, and a spacious courtyard may be a ruin overgrown with artemisia grass.

Between these high and low messy buildings, even the streets and alleys are twisted and curved, like a maze, making people confused.

This is the place where the low-level occupations of the Silver Tide City gather, and although life is difficult, the people who live here more or less have some property of their own, and they do not fall into the miserable state of the real poor people in the slums of the port area.

Carl led Abel to the source of the smell of blood, and soon found the target location.

It was an old three-story building on the edge of the block, next to an abandoned tower and a small cemetery, and in the courtyard of the small building was planted a few tall oak trees, and the dense shade of the trees in the pale moonlight just happened to say that the whole small building was in shadow.

The small building was as quiet as death, and there was no sound of movement, only a strong smell of blood, and a burnt smell kept coming from it.

"This is it?"

In the pale moonlight, this lonely little building exuded an eerie aura that made Able can't help but press his hand on the knight's training sword at his waist, but strangely, he didn't smell the blood and burnt smell that Carl was talking about.

"This is it!"

Carl looked at the small building in the shadows and couldn't help but feel a feeling of nausea that gave him goosebumps, not fear, but a spontaneous reaction as if he had seen something disgusting and distorted.

Carl couldn't help but look up at the sky, the silver moon was not there tonight, only a bright red blood moon hung in the sky, revealing a strong ominous smell.

However, Carl is not sure if this is a delusion of his own, after all, although the blood moon looks full of weirdness and ominous, but the blood moon represents the power of life and bloodline, and has never had anything to do with evil.

Although there is a folk proverb "the night of the blood moon, the time of the demon!", but that refers more to the night of the blood moon, those monsters with the power of the bloodline will also riot, in ancient times, it will even cause a tide of beasts, flooding and impacting human towns, villages, castles, and manors.

But in the current era when this kind of wild monster has long been strangled by the knights, the crisis of the so-called "Blood Moon Night" is more of an inertial inheritance in the collective memory of mankind, a legendary proverb that has become pure folklore.

The real danger is the "Blue Moon Night", the magic tide is high, not only mages and warlocks like to do some dangerous experiments in this environment, even necromancers, cult sacrifices, shamans and other evil spellcasters also like to carry out evil experiments such as slaughter and sacrifice in the "Blue Moon Night".

"Let's go in and have a look!"

A strong sense of justice and responsibility drove Abel to go in and have a look, he first signaled Karl to stand aside and be ready to respond, but he pressed the knight's training sword in his hand, ready to come forward and knock on the door to test.

However, the strange thing is that as soon as he raised his hand, before he could touch the door, the closed door suddenly opened automatically, as if to welcome guests, opening the door to the courtyard.

Abel couldn't help but tighten his heart, clenched the knight's sword in his hand, and looked at the courtyard vigilantly.

The courtyard was not large, and the shade cast by a few tall oak trees had already shrouded it in shadow, and a miserable white path led to the central gate of the courtyard, which was also open, revealing a black hollow, like the maw of a beast that had chosen to devour people, waiting for its prey to fall into its net.

Carl couldn't help frowning, the courtyard was lifeless, not even a hint of wind, quiet like a tomb.

He could feel that as soon as the wind from the outside entered the courtyard, it seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, and it became slow and inert, and finally lost all vitality and became a stagnant pool.

Fortunately, the ubiquitous water vapor and air were able to give him some feedback, so that he could be sure that the courtyard was indeed empty and empty.

However, since there was no one inside, where did the strong smell of blood come from?

Carl couldn't help but feel that he seemed to have become the protagonist of the supernatural now, facing a house that was obviously full of weirdness, a companion who seemed to insist on going in, at this time, the most rational response should be to turn around and leave.

Faced with such a strange scene, Abel couldn't help but hesitate, although he was upright, but he was not a fool, even if he hadn't experienced a lot of horror movies, ghost movies, and ghost stories like Carl, but there was a magical world in this world, and the stories of all kinds of evil mages, cult sacrifices, and resentful spirits and undead were also heard from childhood, and seeing that the situation in this small building was so weird, he naturally realized the danger inside.

"No need to go, there is not a living person in it!"

Karl opened his mouth decisively, ready to stop Able from entering. He's not the foolish protagonist in those ghost movies, he still breaks in knowing that there is a problem,

"I've already probed with the power of the bloodline, and I'm sure there isn't a living person inside, so I don't want to go in first, wait here for Lucy to come with the patrol!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure that my knight bloodline is the 'Canghai Dragon' bloodline, one of the seven crown bloodlines, and I can sense all the water distribution in the space, but I don't feel the blood and pulse of a living person from inside!"

Carl decisively pulled out his bloodline ability to endorse it, and even emphasized his "crown bloodline" to increase his persuasiveness.

"Okay, let's not go in first, just guard outside!"

Abel thought for a moment and decisively agreed with Carl's opinion.

This time, it was Carl's turn to be surprised, this is not scientific, according to the general supernatural routine, Abel shouldn't have to go in at this time, and then drag his companion to die together?

Originally, Carl was ready to stun Abel if Abel insisted on going in. But I didn't expect Abel to shrink as decisively as he did.

Seeing Carl's surprised appearance, Abel couldn't help but smile on his face, which had always maintained a serious expression.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool, I won't jump in knowing that there is danger ahead. I am a member of the Silver Dawn, and it is my duty to protect the City of the Silver Tide. If there is a homicide going on inside, there are robbers and criminals committing crimes, there are victims who are being violated, I will not hesitate to rush in, no matter how dangerous it is. ”

"But, since there wasn't a living person in there, and it looked so weird! I certainly wouldn't crash into it like a fool. The head of the sub-group, Master Mu, taught us that wisdom and courage are the mottos of our silver dawn, and that the more dangerous the moment, the more we must be level-headed......"
