Cheese wakes up from his dream and looks out the window at the still bright sky, and although it feels like a long time has passed in the dream, in fact time flows much slower in the real world. A slight headache stimulated the mage's brain, and although he had just made the guy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead suffer a loss in the dream, Cheese didn't retreat with his whole body, and although the other party couldn't really hook the nightmare in the mage's memory, it also made Cheese think of some uncomfortable memories. Cheese thought he had overcome these fears, but now it seems that he is not as strong as he thought.

After a while, Cheese finally put the thoughts in his head back together, and although it was still early, he had no intention of going back to sleep. It's not because the mage is afraid of being plotted by the other party, and he sees the terrifying scene in the depths of Cheese's memory, and the guy who sneaked into the mage's dream is probably already an embarrassed appearance of rolling his eyes and twitching on the ground at this time. What Cheese was really worried about was that the horrible beings he remembered would follow his thoughts and find it, which was an absolute breeze for things that existed in a space that was darker than darkness, so the mage couldn't take that risk.

Fortunately, although Sander didn't consider this place his home, the long lifespan of the Blood Clan made them unconsciously accumulate more interesting things than humans, and Sander had moved to the Iron Castle for several years, so even if the vampire didn't like to read anymore, the collection of books in his study was still very considerable. Having something to read is a great pastime for cheese, and even if all he sees is a bad novel copied from the bard's verses, cheese can find his own pleasure in the binding, compilation, and so on.

"It turns out that you are here, and the others have been waiting for you in the hall for a long time. Sander's voice woke up the mage who was addicted to the book, and Cheese subconsciously looked at the window next to him, and found that the sky that was still bright just now was already dusk.

"I'm sorry, I was too involved in watching it by accident. Closing the book in hand, Cheese was still a little reluctant to follow the content.

"Alright, okay, when we get those troublemakers done, I'll let you read enough of my book, shall we? "Frustrated by the mage's performance," Sander said.

After receiving the master's promise, Cheese put down the book in his hand and followed Shander to the hall. As they walked, something suddenly occurred to Cheese.

"By the way, what you just meant you were looking for me in the house for a long time?"

"Yes, your companion said you were in the next room, but I didn't find you. I thought you had been robbed. Shande said angrily.

"No, you're a vampire! There are only a few living people in this room, and you can't smell me?" said Cheese, frowning slightly.

Hearing the mage's words, the corners of Shande's mouth sneered and said.

"Listen, I don't know what the Bloodclan you knew before described you, but if I had to say it, the people who came with you smelled good. But it's just you, I can only feel the breath of magic from you, and I don't know what is flowing in your veins, but it's definitely not blood. ”

The Bloodline's words sent the mage into a brief contemplation, and although he had done many experiments with his body, he was sure that he was not crazy enough to exchange the blood of his body for something else. However, Shande said that he could not feel the smell of blood from his body, which made Cheese start to worry about whether there were some mutations in his body that he didn't know about. However, just as he wanted to ask Shander about this one more question, they had already arrived in the hall of the villa, and Cheese could only suppress his worries and decided to ask Ann Lina about this when he returned to the Gray Tower.

Judging by the looks of the other people in the hall, they were very satisfied with the rest at Shande's house. Even Elsa whispered if Cheese could simply stay at Shande's house these days. While the mage was tempted to remind the companions that sleeping in the vampire's house would not be a good idea, Shander, confident that Cheese had joined, beckoned them into the night.

"So, where do we start investigating?" asked Cheese.

"We don't need to investigate. After a few days of experience, we have figured out how they behave, and as long as you stand still in the night, they will come by themselves. The vampire said as he looked at the mage with his red eyes.

"Don't you have any street lights here? It's too dark. "At this time, he had left the confines of the Shande Villa, and the dim starlight on the streets of the inner city barely allowed people to see the road. With the economic situation of the Iron Fort, it would not be a big deal to install street lights on the main streets of the city. But the few people walked several streets, and they didn't see any lighting facilities.

"A month ago, there were still street lights in the Iron Fort. But in the past month, all the night lighting has begun to be dismantled by unknown guys, who do things so neatly that often after a night, an entire block of street lights is left without even the base. The Bloodline replied.

"Haven't the citizens noticed such an obvious situation?" handed Elsa three headbands made of strange stone chips, and Cheese told them that wearing them would give them the ability to see in the dark for a while. When asked why such a handy thing hadn't been used before, Cheese told them that the headband could only be used on moonless nights when there was no moon and there was starlight.

"Of course they noticed. But Wall can't tell them the truth, can he? Fortunately, that guy's reputation here is not bad, although some people don't understand this behavior, but it's curfew anyway, so what does it matter if there are street lights or not?" replied Shander.

As they spoke, the sound of horses' hooves and the ringing of bells came from the dark streets in the distance. The city lord had already told Cheese about the Night Patrol Knights, so Elsa and the others took this voice for the knight squad on patrol. But almost at the same time, both Cheese and Sander made gestures to signal that they were ready to fight.

"Be careful, it's not people coming. A dangerous glint flashed in the mage's eyes, and he whispered a reminder.
