Dawn of the Ash Tower

.,

After nightfall, the Iron Fort is silent.This suffocating silence makes people unable to restrain themselves from imagining what exists in the darkness where there is no light outside the house that cannot be illuminated by candles?The copper bell on the neck of the night watchman's horse is the only sound from the street at night. This voice tells people hiding at home that there is still power to protect them on the street, and it also warns those who are curious not to be careless. step into the dark.

In the room in the tavern, the cheese silently looked at the dark street through the window. Since the sun went down, there has been an unpleasant atmosphere in the city that makes the mage feel uncomfortable.It wasn't the breath of a living person, it was a decaying smell that seemed to come from the soil in a cemetery, and every particle of it that drifted in the wind carried the smell of death.Cheese's eyes began to emit a faint light unconsciously, and the mage was trying to look at the city under the night from another perspective.From the results of his observation, the cheese thinks that the curfew issued by the city lord is very reasonable.

"I don't remember inviting you in." Cheese who looked out of the window said suddenly.It's just that the language he speaks is not the lingua franca used in Cangshi Kingdom, but a more obscure and ancient language.As for the person he was talking to, it was a black cat that walked into the mage's house at some unknown time.

"I paid half of the construction of this hotel, so this is not someone else's house." Surprisingly, the black cat also answered in the same language, but perhaps It is probably because it sounds like a cat, and its voice makes it difficult to distinguish its gender.

"Okay, let's just say that. Then let me hear what is the reason for a shapeshifter like you to come to this room on such a night?" The mage slowly turned around and looked at the animal. said the black cat.Only then did he notice that the black cat had a pair of scarlet jewel-like eyes.

The black cat sat down, licked its front paw, and said in a calm tone.

"If you enter someone else's territory rashly, you should greet the owner of the place first, right? Or do you not even understand this basic etiquette? A wizard with a plague smell on his body."

"I have to say that as a vampire, your sense of smell is really keen. But I'm curious whether such a keen sense of smell comes from your nose that has stopped functioning a long time ago, or from the domestic dogs you raised What about it?" Faced with the other party's rhetorical question, Cheese was not frightened, but said with an interested smile.

"That's not something you need to know, wizard. Now you just need to tell me who you are and why you are here at this time." said the black cat, although it is almost impossible to read the expression from the cat's face, But the mage still felt a little anxious from its voice and speed.Interesting, generally speaking, as vampires with almost endless lives, these existences in the night have already had enough patience, and they will feel impatient because of these short conversations, or this black cat has transformed into a vampire. The time is too short, or, it has been overwhelmed by some things.That being the case, the cheese believes that he can get more information from the other party.

"Don't be so sure. What I need to know and what I don't need to know is not something you should consider. Moreover, as far as I know, Iron Fortress is not the territory of any night nobleman. Or the entire Cangshi Kingdom. There is no family that can occupy a stable hunting area. So, before explaining my identity, your identity is full of doubts, isn't it?" Indeed, before the start of this mission, Cheese had already obtained Cangshi The intelligence of the kingdom and nearby countries, and those reports, without exception, did not mention any vampire families in the vicinity.This means that this place will not belong to the hunting range of any vampire. Having been with Alina for many years, Cheese has a very detailed understanding of these guys who can become bats or black cats.

Feeling that Cheese would not reveal his details so easily, the black cat began to plan to retreat.The mage was right, although this inn had been wandering around the Iron Fort when it was established, it really couldn't be counted as its hunting ground.Apparently, the wizard who was passing by knew the rules of the vampires very well, and he might even know a few serious vampire nobles, so no matter how much he contacted him, he would not get his information, but would only expose himself more.Thinking of this, the black cat's body tensed up, and it was ready to leave the room.

However, Cheese didn't want this little guy with red eyes to leave so easily, and the mage was not very happy to be visited unexpectedly at night.His fingers hidden in the robe were already preparing to cast a spell to trap this guy here.

But when one person and one cat were in a stalemate, there was a knock on the door of Cheese's room, and then the voice of the proprietress came from outside the house.

"Cheese, it's me, Elsa. Did you sleep? I seem to have bought too many snacks during the day, so I think you are hungry?"

Now the mage knew a little more about the black cat, and it was evident that it had indeed entered through the door, for although it closed the door, it did not put the bolt back in place again.This also led to the fact that when Elsa tried to push the door open, the wooden door did not have any blocking effect, and it opened with a slight push.But when the black cat saw this opportunity, it was still willing to stay in the house. It suddenly jumped up from the ground and went straight to the gap in the door, obviously trying to escape.At this time, it was too late to cast the spell, and since the door was opened, the room was no longer a closed space, which made cheese unable to trap the black cat quickly.In desperation, the mage only had time to yell to get the proprietress' attention.

"Catch that cat!"

In fact, compared with Cheese's words, the black cat that swooped over made Elsa notice it faster.When she was still surprised that the mage's door was unlocked, a black shadow rushed out of the room.As a person who has received military training, although the proprietress did not see clearly what the black shadow was, the instinctive reaction caused by the training still made her subconsciously drop the snacks in her hand, stretch out her hands to block the black shadow, and When the black shadow and the hand touched, Elsa clenched her fingers with feeling, which caused the proprietress to firmly grasp the black cat's forelimbs when she heard the cheese's words.

"Good job! Don't let it run away!" Cheese said excitedly when Elsa caught the black cat.

And although the black cat struggled in every possible way when its forelegs were caught, its size made it difficult for it to exert enough strength to get rid of the proprietress's restraint. After several attempts to no avail, it raised its head and used its red pair Looking at Elsa's face with her eyes, she said in a magical voice.

"Look at me! Mortals!"
