Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 80
At night, the iron castle is silent. This suffocating silence makes people unable to restrain to imagine what is there in the dark where there is no light outside the house where the candle cannot be lit? At the same time, the only sound that can warn the cavalry not to hide in the dark is the sound of the horse on the street.
In the tavern room, cheese looks at the dark street through the window silently. From sunset, the city begins to fill with a smell that makes the mage feel unhappy. It''s not from the breath of living people, it''s a rotten smell like the soil in the cemetery, and every particle that floats with the wind carries the smell of death. Cheese eyes unconsciously began to shine a very light, the mage is trying to use another perspective to look at the city under the night. From his observation, the Chief Secretary thinks that the curfew issued by the city Lord is very reasonable.
"I don''t remember inviting you in." Looking at the cheese outside the window, he suddenly said. But the language he spoke was not the common language used in the kingdom of Cang lion, but a more obscure and ancient language. As for the object of his speech, it was a black cat who did not know when to walk into the master''s room.
"I paid half of the cost of the hotel, so it''s not a house for anyone else." Surprisingly, the black cat''s mouth also used the same language to answer, but perhaps because of the cat''s voice, its voice makes it difficult to distinguish its gender.
"Well, even so. So let me hear what''s the reason for a transfiguration like you to come into this room on such a night? " The mage slowly turned around, looked at the black cat and said. Then he noticed that the black cat had scarlet, jewel like eyes.
The black cat sat down, licked his front paw, and said in a relaxed tone.
"If you enter other people''s territory, you should say hello to the owner of this place first? Or don''t you know the basic etiquette? A wizard with the smell of pestilence. "
"I have to say that as a blood clan, your sense of smell is really sharp. But I''m curious if this keen sense of smell comes from your nose, which has already stopped functioning, or from your domestic dogs? " In the face of the other side''s question, cheese was not frightened, but said with a smile of great interest.
"It''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 The black cat said that although it was almost impossible to read the expression from the cat''s face, the mage still read a trace of impatience from its voice and speed. It''s interesting. Generally speaking, as a vampire with almost endless life, the existence of these dark nights has already had enough patience. Because of these short conversations, they will have a sense of impatience. Either the time for this black cat to become a blood clan is too short, or it has been troubled by some things. In this case, cheese believes he can get more information from the other side.
"Don''t be so sure. What I need to know, what I don''t need to know is not a question for you to consider, and, as far as I know, the iron fort is not the territory of any night aristocrat. In other words, there is no family that can occupy a stable hunting area in the whole Cang Lion Kingdom. So, before I identify myself, is your identity doubtful? " Indeed, before the mission began, cheese had already received information from the Cang Lion Kingdom and other countries nearby, and none of the reports mentioned any vampire families nearby. This means that this place will not belong to the hunting range of any vampire. Having been with anlina for many years, cheese knows a lot about these guys who can turn into bats or black cats.
Feeling that cheese didn''t seem to be able to explain his details so easily, the black cat began to have a plan to retreat. The mage is right. Although this hotel has been wandering around the iron Fort since it was built, it can''t be regarded as its hunting ground. Obviously, this passing wizard is very familiar with the rules of blood clan, and may even know several decent vampire nobles. Then, no matter how much contact with him, he will not get his information, but will only expose himself more. Thinking of this, the black cat''s body tensed, and it was ready to leave the room.
However, cheese didn''t want the little guy with red eyes to leave so easily. The sudden visit in the night made the mage not very happy. His fingers hidden in his robe are ready to cast a spell to trap this guy here.
However, when one cat and one person were in a standoff, there was a knock outside the cheese room, and then the landlady''s voice came from outside.
"Cheese, it''s me, Elsa. Did you sleep? I seem to buy a lot of snacks during the day, so I wonder if you are hungry? "
Now the mage knew more about the black cat. It was obvious that it did enter through the door, because although it closed the door, it did not put the bolt again. This led to Elsa''s attempt to push the door open, and the wooden door did not act as a barrier, but opened with a slight push. The black cat was willing to stay in the house when he saw the chance. He jumped up from the ground and ran straight to the crack in the door, apparently trying to escape. It''s too late to cast any more spells. Besides, since the door is opened, the room is no longer a closed space, which makes cheese unable to quickly trap the black cat. In a hurry, the mage only had time to shout to the landlady''s attention."Catch that cat!"
As a matter of fact, the flying black cat made Elsa notice more quickly than cheese. When she was surprised that the master''s door was not locked, a dark shadow rushed out of the room. As a military trained person, although the proprietress did not see what the shadow was, the instinctive reaction caused by the training still made her subconsciously drop her snacks in her hands and held out her hands in front of the shadow. When the shadow and the hand touched each other, Elsa clenched her fingers with feeling, which caused the landlady when she heard the cheese words Her hands had already firmly grasped the black cat''s forelimb.
"Well done! Don''t let it run away When Elsa caught the black cat, cheese said excitedly.
Although the black cat struggled with the forelimb caught, it was hard for it to exert enough strength to get rid of the landlady''s grip. After several unsuccessful attempts, it raised its head, looked at Elsa''s face with her red eyes, and said in a magic voice.
"Look at me! Mortals
