253. Tracker of the convoy

After a brief breakfast, the convoy set off again, and at noon, it finally walked out of the Lorenzo Mountains and into the relatively flat and open hilly area, and could also see the occasional passing villages, or from a distance, small towns with houses, and finally the occasional passing carriage and traveler on the road, passing grasslands, and cattle and sheep grazing.

It looks like you have entered the area where Bucharest is the core and gathers, and you will soon be there.

Zhou Chu just observed the scenery outside the carriage for a morning, and then once again entered a state of false sleep, sometimes, the journey is monotonous and boring, just like taking a train, and for the beautiful scenery unique to the karst landscape outside, he has no interest, and Bucharest, he still doesn't know what awaits him in the road, so he always tries his best to let his consumption and metabolism into the lowest consumption state, in order to save more energy.

But this time, he still didn't get his wish, only this time, it wasn't Artesa who ruined his sleep, but Lilith, who jumped out of the bracelet and sat across from him.

It was still a very close distance, but this time, Zhou Chu could feel that Lilith had changed a little compared to the last time, although it still seemed to be transparent that could not be touched, but the faint transparency was no longer like a simple breath, but more condensed, like a condensed mist, faintly visible from translucent, to more or less able to see more clearly.

As Lilith appeared and sat down, Zhou Chu's hand touched Lilith's body. Although I still passed through, I could already feel it, a feeling as cold and thick as mist.

Zhou Chu watched Lilith sit down in front of him, and then looked at her, but he didn't speak, but the meaning expressed and conveyed in his eyes was very clear.

What's up?

"You don't feel it?" Lilith looked at Zhou Chu with a smile, "You little fat sheep convoy is being targeted." ”

Hearing Lilith's words, Zhou Chu immediately closed his eyes and let his perception outward. The sound of the wind outside the carriage, the flow of air currents. The sound, the breath and heartbeat of the living creatures, everything within five hundred meters of it, all fed back.

But nothing seems out of the ordinary. Within five hundred meters. Only the Marte family was on the front carriage. And the coachman driving the carriage, and his own breathing and heartbeat.

Zhou Chu opened his eyes and saw the costume on Lilith's body. But he suddenly reacted.

This is the Middle Ages...... If the bandits were to follow, they would only be far behind, possibly horses or carriages, and the distance would certainly exceed the range of five hundred meters.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chu turned his head and looked out of the back window of the carriage, only to see from a distance that at the end of the road they were driving, there were two horses, following far behind.

Zhou Chu turned around and looked at Lilith: "Why don't you happen to be on the same road?" ”

"If you think that after coming out of the mountain, after passing through several forks in the road, they are still on the same road as us, and they have not been pulled down or surpassed us, and it is just a pure coincidence, then I will say nothing."

After Lilith despised Zhou Chu lightly, she threw back the right to judge to Zhou Chu, but Lilith had already said it so obviously, and Zhou Chu herself was not an idiot, so of course she could hear what Lilith meant.

What's more, their convoy was not moving fast, and they stopped for lunch in the middle, so these two people on horseback, still did not cross them, indicating that there must be a problem.

"I know." Zhou Chu nodded, but saw Lilith stick out her tongue and lick it on her lips.

"What are you going to do?"

"We'll talk about it then."

"It's a pity, I thought it was some fun." After Lilith said this, she got into the bracelet again.

Little Sheep?

Zhou Chu showed a hint of a smile, and then entered a state of false sleep again.

The convoy stopped again at sunset, only this time, in a small town, and dinner was being held in a tavern in the town.

Zhou Chu solved his share of food quickly, and after solving his own food, Zhou Chu glanced at Malte, then stood up and walked out of the tavern.

He was sure that Malte saw his gaze and was able to decipher the message he had sent him.

Sure enough, a short time later, Malte also walked out.

"Mr. Lofit, do you want something to say to me?"

"What are your plans after dinner?" Zhou Chu asked straight to the point.

Malte paused for a moment, but quickly answered Zhou Chu's question: "After dinner, we will travel overnight." ”

Zhou Chu didn't speak, Marte hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Although we can also stay here for one night, but in this way, we will arrive in Bucharest at almost early morning tomorrow night, which is not convenient for us to find taverns and inns to stay, and ...... You know, after dark, Bucharest is almost a vampire city, and I can't tell who's human and who's vampire. ”

"Well, you can arrange this, I'm just a hitchhiker." Zhou Chu smiled, "By the way, tell me about the bandits." ”

"Bandits?" Malte was a little confused.

"Yes, bandits, for you merchants' convoys, will you encounter any bandits or anything like that on such a long journey?"

"Ah, that's what you asked." Malte smiled, "This is the characteristic of the Federation of Transylvania, generally speaking, during the day, the convoy will not encounter any bandits, because the number of humans in Transylvania itself is very scarce, even if you can't find a job and can't support yourself, you can go to Bucharest, where the Federation will regularly distribute relief payments, so in the towns, there are thieves, but there are almost no bandits in the wild, no one wants to do this thankless thing, whether you can grab people is one thing, But having to face vampire attacks at night is simply lifeless. ”

"Understood." Zhou Chu nodded, that's why Malte chose to continue traveling in the middle of the night, there were already crosses and holy water protection measures in the car, as well as Father Aaron's silver-white cross, basically there was no need to worry about vampire attacks, as for human bandits, it would not appear.

It's just that the two horses that follow him during the day, what's going on? Zhou Chu thought for a while, and suddenly smiled dumbly.

When Malte saw the somewhat peculiar Mr. Lofitte in front of him, but it didn't make people feel insecure, he suddenly laughed, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Mr. Lofitte, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, just remembering something from my hometown." Zhou Chu hesitated, and did not tell Marte about the day, but nodded at Marte, "I'll go around and come back later." ”

"Okay, don't come too late, Mr. Lofit, we're going to set off again when the sun has completely set."

After nodding his head in agreement, Zhou Chu left the tavern, he needed time to confirm his previous guess, and the slight vibration from the bracelet meant that Lilith, the witch, seemed to want to come out and say something.

After bypassing the tavern, Zhou Chu came to the woods outside the town, and then sat down on a stone in the woods.

As soon as she sat down, Lilith immediately came out, but Zhou Chu stretched out a finger and signaled her not to speak first, and then ignored Lilith's somewhat annoyed and complaining eyes, bowed her head and pondered.

If what Malte said is true, then the two horses that appeared during the day and followed them from afar were undoubtedly just spies, just to ensure that the target would not be lost, and then attack at night, but the particularity of the Transylvanian Commonwealth has led to the fact that there are unlikely to be too many and pure human bandits in this country, and there are no bandits who attack at night, so the biggest possibility is probably only one.

These two human spies, the bandits behind them, are vampire bandits.

Although it may seem strange, in fact, this is an inevitable transformation, when the human beings in the Transylvania Commonwealth are in a scarce situation, as a necessary and indispensable food, the real rulers of the Transylvania Commonwealth, that is, the vampires, can only protect the human beings as much as possible.

Corresponding to the scarcity of human beings, the number of vampires increases, and the decrease in food and the increase in the number of vampires will lead to some vampires who cannot obtain blood through the channels and laws set by the vampires themselves in the territory, so these vampires who cannot obtain blood will violate the law and take risks to become bandits and murderers.

To put it bluntly, it is just a phenomenon that will inevitably arise in society after supply exceeds demand, but this social phenomenon is not a human social phenomenon, but a vampire social phenomenon, and the Transylvanian Federation is transforming and transitioning from human society to vampire society, and its social subject composition will no longer be humans, but vampires.

So, tonight's night road, there should be an attack, by the union of vampires and humans. He didn't tell Marte because if he knew about the possibility, he would be nervous and worried, but he might not change his itinerary, and Zhou Chu could see that for the possibility of being attacked in the middle of the night, Malte was more reluctant to arrive in Bucharest in the middle of the night.

Zhou Chu suddenly looked forward to it, after coming to this world, he encountered a human wolf once, and what he could confirm was that he could defeat the human wolf without entering the human form in his initial form, and the banshee and spirit represented by Lilith could not cause him too much substantial damage, so what about vampires? How much strength does he need to show to be able to defeat a vampire, and what damage does a vampire do to him?

He was curious about the question. (To be continued......)
