Chapter 327 - A Competition of Numbers? 2 (2/2)

They looked at the body and the girl’s face. Both of them were quiet.

Mages had high Intelligence, so they all had great memories.

They remembered the girl to be one of the victims they rescued the previous night.

The skin of the body was blue, not a typical color for those who died a natural death.

Roland observed the body more carefully, only to find more than twenty tiny holes on the girl’s neck.

There were more than ten holes on each of her arms too.

Chesamon remarked, “We examined her just now. The blood in the girl’s body has been sucked away.”

“This was undoubtedly done by vampires.” Yelia stood up and said gravely, “I didn’t know that they would come so soon and in such a large number.”

Roland was angry too, but he didn’t show it on his face. He asked, “Didn’t you say that you made preparations last night?”

“I did.” Yelia nodded and said, “I had set up magic items that could detect dark creatures at the top of my Magic Tower. It would inform me if a vampire was in town. This girl must’ve left the city last night. But I told her not to leave the city so soon. She disobeyed me.”

“What if she didn’t go out voluntarily but was deceived?” asked Roland.

Yelia nodded and said, “That’s also a possibility.”

Then, he turned his eyes to his father-in-law. “My lord, was the girl found outside of the city?”

“Yes.”

“Then we should investigate who let her out of the city last night.” Yelia stood up and said, “My lord, I hope you can do it for us.”

“There’s no need to be so courteous. We’re family. Besides, it’s the Chesamons’ responsibility to protect the residents of this city.”

Roland was surprised to find that this lord seemed to be a nice person.

Then Yelia said to Roland, “Let’s go out and do some searching too. We’ll go back to the Magic Tower for the dark creature detector and then take a walk out of the city. We may find something.”

“Sure.” Roland nodded.

In a dark wood outside of Liguburg City, countless bats were hanging from the trees.

Very soon, a bunch of cute, plump bats flew in and turned into a girl in the darkness.

Looking at the thousand bats hanging upside down from the branches, she cursed, “You idiots, you knew that our enemy was in town, but you still lured the girl out with Enchant. Not just that, all of you sucked her blood until she died. What’s your problem? The enemy will be alarmed!”

A group of bats descended and transformed into Edmund.

He said unhappily, “We could smell her more clearly than we could smell other people. She had been our food until she escaped. What’s wrong with killing her or alarming the enemy? We’re going to make everybody in this city live in terror for the days to come. Next, we will suck a girl dry every day, until the people collapse in fright.”

“The Mage capable of a modified fireball is still in the city. Do you want to be killed?”

“We might be scared of him if we didn’t know anything about him.” Edmund chuckled. “But things are much easier now that we know he has to charge his powerful spells. Ten seconds will be more than enough for us to kill him many times.”

“He’s a Golden Son. He can’t die.”

“As Wenger said, the Golden Sons will be weakened after their deaths, and the more they die, the weaker they will be, until they’re like ordinary people.” With hate in his eyes, Edmund said, “As long as we kill him once, we can surround the Temple of Life and kill him again and again until he becomes an ordinary person. Then, we’ll take him back and chain him up, so that he will forever be our food. I’m sure that an undying man definitely has delicious blood.”
