Chapter 54: 033 I a Banquet -4 (Part Two)
I conte my mouth “Doesn’t the imperial court kno to suss out the varoaned under his breath “In all honesty… no, we don’t have any reliable hness”
“Aren’t their bodies usually cold?”
“Vampires can manipulate their bodies If they want to raise their body temperature, it should be rather easy to do so”
“You can feed them holy water”
“They ithstand it even after consu so some divinity?”
“These blood-creations have evolved specifically to live in plain sight ahness” Harman sed his dry saliva and carried on “And their bodies are also that of a normal human”
“What?”
A dazed expression floated up on my face
Vampires weredis with de off and replacing a portion of their own bodies with someone else’s was a fairly simple process
For instance…
“It’s possible for a vaing to another person on itself, then hness It can even remove the skin of its victim and wrap itself completely with that as well In such cases, they should be able to withstand holy water being cast on the injected into them”
“…”
Fomor was still fine after I injected soed to an actual human
“What would happen if you create a wound and pour holy water on it? A va?”
“As I’ve said earlier, these creatures are wearing the skins of real huhness That very skin should react positively to holy water and heal itself instead Of course, as they areskins, they shouldn’t be able to exhibit the full strengths of real vaue at this inforive up there and asked Harman for more details on the methods to ferret out the vaic that utilised divinity?”
“Those without talent can’t gather divinity, your highness”
“What about wounds?”
“Vampires can siht?”
“Although they do groeaker in daylight, they can walk around without any issues”
“Garlic?!”
“There are numerous vaarlic frohness”
“Undeads have dey in either their hearts or heads, don’t they? You can pry theht? Medical techniques of this world seem pretty advanced tolike that?”
“Actually, a va your description swept across the entirety of the continent about five hundred years ago, your highness During that incident, over ten thousand innocent citizens had their heads and chests sliced open Only two a them were positively identified as vampires”
Wowsers, the vampires of this world really were insane, weren’t they?!
I held my head
If there was a sure-fire way, then I’d have told the Holy Emperor already But without any indisputable proof, he wouldn’t believe nani sure presented various problenani?
“Aha! Can’t I like, just kill them all?”
Wouldn’t it be easier if I just went around s them with my musket rifle? Sure, this method was as dumb as a pile of bricks, but I didn’t have to think too hard about it, plus it was a super-quick way to confirht start if I did just that, but there shouldn’t be a better solution than this one I mean, if I killed them first and proved that they were all va me afterwards
Since it would be the actions of a nani, what did it matter if I was a bit heavy-handed and stuff?
“Har order?”
“I’hness I can le Paladin corps at my discretion”
“Okay, in that case, letthat, I entrusted the list to him “You see everyone on this list? Arrest the on Just kill them all”
“…”
“I’ll bear the full responsibility for it”
Har? You can’t do it?”
“No, your highness I’ll do it But will it really be alright?” He asked in a worried voice, “We’re still in thesuch an occasion hness”
Neverthe banquet, even the Holy Emperor, Kelt Olfolse himself, was scheduled to show up soon And yet, the Seventh Iather troops to such a place?
The odds of this action being interpreted as a coup d’etat, an insurrection, was pretty dah
“Coup d’etat or insurrection or whatever, ignore theather their ashes as proof, that’s all”
The corners of ers and crossed s
Since I finally decided to make a move, I needed to do it as quickly as possible
