"Goo......" The ghoul's bloodshot eyes stared at Cheese not far away. Perhaps their vision can't really see the mage under the influence of magic, but their instinct to eat tells them that there is fresh food in that location.

Now it's a problem. Cheese's brow furrowed tightly, he had seen by the moonlight that most of the food the ghouls were eating were corpses that had been magically evoked at today's funeral, but there were also fresh corpses dressed in civilian clothes. This situation made the mage's nerves tense instantly. You know, the Edward family should not be like this, as a family rooted in the human city for many years, these soul keepers who believe in death have strict discipline, and devouring dead corpses on the street like this is definitely not what the Edward family should do.

However, the ghoul's anomaly wasn't the mage's biggest concern right now, and if it wasn't necessary, Cheese now wanted to just walk around these bloodthirsty monsters without a trace, and wait until dawn to ask Edward what had happened. But just as he was about to use the corresponding illusion, another sound of footsteps came from behind, and Elsa caught up.

"From... Ahh And this call also completely made the ghouls lose their patience. The monster threw down the already cold corpse and pounced on Elsa, who had a living temperature!

The situation in front of the proprietress is very serious, because she is in a hurry to catch up with Cheese, she is not carrying a weapon, and at this time she is suddenly attacked by ghouls, and Elsa has no other way but to escape. But how can a normal human be as fast as a monster that preys on humans?, not to mention that Elsa can't think calmly under the influence of fear, and she runs as hard as she can, hoping to run back to the hut and get help from her friends before the ghouls catch up with her. But in a hurry, her legs didn't run a few steps before she cramped due to the violent force, and the sudden pain caused the proprietress to fall to the ground.

The ghouls let out a low growl in their throats when they saw their prey fall to the ground, as if they had seen the fresh human being torn to shreds under the sharp teeth and fangs. Such excitement made them not notice, and at some point on the smooth stone road of the royal capital, emerald green thorn vines appeared. "Pour it for me!" Cheese, who had lifted the invisibility magic, struggled to tighten the rattan in his hand, tripping all the several ghouls rushing in front of him, and their fall made the ghouls behind him unable to dodge, and they all crashed into it, and more than two dozen monsters rolled into a ball.

"Can you still go?" the mage asked softly, taking advantage of this time, as he quickly ran to Elsa's side and helped her up. At the same time, Cheese is also directing the thorns that tripped the ghouls to shrink rapidly, binding everyone else. It's just that this won't solve the problem completely, because with the power of the ghouls, it is only a matter of time before they break free from these magic tree vines.

When the proprietress saw the cheese, the expression on her face was noticeably relaxed. But then she remembered the situation of the two of them, and immediately tried to get up on her feet without the help of the mage. However, this attempt ended with Elsa falling back into Cheese's arms. "Aren't they our allies, how can they attack us?" Realizing that she might not be able to run for a short time, Elsa could only hope that the mage could solve the dilemma in front of her from another angle.

Faced with his companion's question, Cheese just shook his head and whispered four words. "Eating frenzy. "Just as a shark loses its mind when it smells blood, ghouls become unrecognizable when they are desperately hungry or bloodthirsty, and instinctively rush to the creatures around them to nibble on them. This is also the reason why Cheese does not try to reason with the other party, no matter how strong the ghouls are under normal circumstances, they will not stop until they have eaten their flesh after they have fallen into a feeding frenzy.

"So what do we do?" Although it was the first time Elsa had heard the words "Eating Mania", she could probably guess what Cheese was talking about from the literal and the sights she had seen. After giving up the plan of peace talks, the proprietress could only ask the mage's opinion again to see if the other party could get the two out of danger.

The magic in Cheese's eyes was more intense, and he certainly knew better than Elsa what kind of enemy they were facing. It's impossible to get out of the ghouls' grip without causing a violent conflict, and even Cheese can't come up with enough magic to control the other in the next moment of an unprepared and hasty encounter. As the thorns that bind the ghouls snapped apart, the moment was in sight for the enemy to regain their mobility.

"Come this way!" came from the familiar shout from the bridge, and Lothar, who was dressed in half-body armor and holding Hearn in his hand, appeared at some point and shouted at the two of them. Behind the Earl, the networm looked nervously at the ghouls who were gradually regaining their freedom, and it was obvious that such monsters were not among the mercenary lady's previous combatants.

When Cheese saw that it was Lothar, he nodded and picked up Elsa, although the proprietress was quite resistant to this somewhat shameful gesture, but she was forced by the situation to say nothing. The mage who ran at full strength was not fast, but he was able to meet Lothar just in time for the ghouls to regain their freedom.

"Why are you here?" Cheese finally felt some confidence after running to the small bridge, with Lothar here, such a small terrain could completely stop the onslaught of the ghouls. However, the mage was still a little confused as to why the Count of Montenegro appeared in the docks at night. As for the question of cheese, Lothar just shrugged his shoulders, pointed to the blood stains of unknown creatures on his body and said, "Don't mention it, the streets are full of these guys now, and they bite people when they see them." If it weren't for their fear of Hearn's hand, we wouldn't know where we would be blocked. ”

"What? how can this be?" Elsa heard the Count say, and her doubts deepened, the ghouls' unusual behavior completely contradicted the impression they had left on Cheese and the others. And this abnormality casts an ominous shadow on everyone's hearts.

Of course, Lothar couldn't answer the boss's question, and as for the networm, the mercenary had come here with Lothar for the same reason as Elsa, and she naturally had no clue about the strange behavior of the Edward family. It looked like only one of the four people present might have the answer to the question. As the other three turned their eyes on the mage, they noticed that Cheese's face had a rare look of panic.

"Oops, it's still a step too late!"
