It was not difficult to find the location of the black cat through divination. Although generally speaking, people who have studied magic will set up means to prevent tracking or prophecy in their homes, but there are so many types of spells in the world that you want to complete the defense once and for all, unless you cut your home out of this world. And for the seasoned tracker, the prey's fortifications will not only not be an obstacle to them, but will reveal more information to the hunter.

"Looks like we've met a vampire from the Black Blood Family. In Cheese's room, a dark red flame flashed in the middle of a circle made of ash the size of a palm, and the cat's hair that had been placed in the circle instantly turned to ashes.

"What does that mean?" asked Jack, who was in the room.

"Well, it's more complicated to explain, to put it simply, they are a relatively prosperous family in the northern part of the continent. This is good news for us, as the vampires of this family are not good at spells, and they prefer to delve into shapeshifting and strengthening their vampire instincts rather than those who use their brains. "By the way, the black cat's control over Elsa yesterday is one of the vampire instincts. ”

It was already the morning of the next day, and the sun was once again shining on the streets of the Iron Castle. Aside from the lord and his soldiers, the common people didn't know that two more teams of night watchmen had disappeared into the night last night. In their opinion, it was just an ordinary day after curfew. Cheese and Elsa had already explained their encounter with the vampire last night while they were eating breakfast with two other companions. While Jack and Mona were surprised that such a fabled monster would actually appear near them, for those warriors who had not yet faced the Bloodline, they mostly saw vampires as an adversary worth challenging. And Cheese had no intention of correcting them, because with him present, as long as the blood clan did not reach the True Ancestor level like An Lina, then the mage would have a way to make that black cat really become an opponent that was "a little difficult" for ordinary warriors.

"So you're saying that what that guy did to me yesterday was just his innate ability? Then you'd better tell us what else he'd order, in case we were caught off guard. Unlike the other two, who were blindly optimistic, Elsa, who had seen vampires, was still a little afraid of those red eyes, so she thought it necessary for Cheese to explain her opponent's abilities to the others.

"Actually, there is nothing, not to mention that the abilities of vampires will be suppressed to varying degrees during the day, and the vampires of the black blood family can only be called a threat, and the ability is only transformation. The only thing that needs to be reminded is not to look at the guy, if he looks you in the eye, he has a way to control your movements. However, because we are fighting in a squad, his ability can only hold back one of us temporarily. I don't think he has any chance of threatening us. Shrugging, the mage said.

"You mentioned the shapeshift, what else could that guy become besides a cat?" Mona asked.

"It depends on the guy's personal taste. However, the combat state that most vampires will choose is nothing more than a wolf or a giant bat. As long as you don't get scared by his appearance, if he is deformed, I will naturally have a way to deal with him. Cheese affirmed.

At that time, the three of them agreed with the mage's words, but when they kicked open the heavy wooden door, they regretted it......

The vampire's house is located in the inner city of the Iron Keep, and unlike the functional urban layout of Vale, the urban plan of the Iron Keep is divided into an outer city inhabited by commoners and an inner city lined with noble mansions, just like other cities founded by nobles. In addition, there are no hard and fast rules about where to buy and sell in the city, where to use it as a freight warehouse, etc. Leaving aside the more liberal urban planning and the war-oriented layout of Vale, the inner city of the Iron Castle is about the same size as the outer city, but the population living here is only one-fifth of the outer.

But even so, the surroundings of this vine-strewn villa are quiet and hairy. It seems that the hustle and bustle of the whole city is blocked out by an invisible curtain that cannot reach this place. And such a strange situation was naturally noticed by the proprietress and them, and after they asked the mage, Cheese said so.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just an illusion magic that idlers don't enter. I thought no one was using such an unpopular thing, but today it was an eye-opener. ”

"But don't I see what kind of magic you're talking about also working very well? You see there wasn't a single pedestrian around us, and we hadn't even seen a passing carriage for so long. Elsa said.

"That's because even though the magic doesn't work well or well, it can still be used. But don't you see how easily I found it?, and I can assure you that most people who know anything about magic will easily find this house, which is useless except to reveal its location. And in the final analysis, since he didn't want to be found by ordinary people, he shouldn't build a house in such a conspicuous place in the first place, no wonder he was thrown here by his family. Cheese said, with disdain on his face. And this is not because of the mage's bad personality, it's just that last night's contact made Cheese have some expectations for this mysterious vampire, hoping to get some useful information from the other party, but with the divination in the morning and the current situation, I am afraid that the information in the hands of this blood clan will not be more than that in the hands of the mage.

"Now I'm a little skeptical that it's worth it. Muttering, Cheese led the way through the gate on the wall. The door, with its roses and carved with strange shapes that make you dizzy, opened automatically to both sides with a wave of Cheese's hand, revealing a carefully cultivated garden in front of the eyes.

"Can't you see, vampires still like gardening?" said the monkey, fiddling with the flowers that grew on the side of the road.

"Of course they don't like gardening, in fact, just like those undead zombies, vampires hate everything that has a living identity, except for people who can be used as food. So it would be torture for them to spend a while in such a vibrant garden. The mage said as he led the way to the front door of the villa, which was not far away.

"Then why did he have such a garden?" asked the proprietress .

"It's simple, because they're so good-looking. I used to follow Leigh...... A senior who has been to a lot of vampire families, whether they live in a castle or somewhere else, will make a lot of things that make them uncomfortable to show off their guests. I used to think carefully that to kill a vampire, all you had to do was find something random from his garden. Cheese said, his tone sounding as if all the vampires in the world owed him eight hundred gold coins.

"Well, why do you sound like you have a lot of grudges against their style?" Elsa asked.

"Resentment?, how dare I, when I look for her, I'm always at leisure, and I'm always late when I make an appointment to do research, and I don't have a sense of time and can't let people say...... "Well, it's obvious that Cheese's problem with vampires comes from a certain blood clan who has been with him for a long time, and because of his strength and seniority, the mage seems to be bullied in the hands of the blood clan in his mouth.

The other people didn't talk to Cheese when they saw him like this, and they didn't know that it was the vampire who made Cheese have such a deep grudge. There were still a few small spells in the garden to prevent uninvited guests like Cheese, but in front of the mage who had somehow entered a state of excitement, these small spells were like clumsy magic performed by clowns, and there was no difficulty at all.

Without any obstacles, the group came to the main entrance of the villa, and at the mage's signal, Jack flew up and kicked towards the wooden door that had lost its magical protection. With the sound of the wood breaking, the door with its fine carvings and elaborate workmanship lost its purpose. And when the sun shines into the villa, cheese and they also see the situation in the villa.

"You say vampires turn into wolves or bats, but ...... Will they become this thing?" Perhaps the scene was so impactful that Mona's voice trembled a little as she spoke.

"Hell, the abyss is below, what's going on!" It was clear that the situation inside the room was beyond the mage's expectations. For what awaited them in the hall in front of them were neither wretched vampires, nor summoned blood servants or other magical minions. It was a whole hall of rats—rats!, and now, the sound of the door being broken clearly attracted the attention of the fat rats, and when their eyes turned to the four men in front of the door together, even Cheese felt cold air begin to rise from behind them.
