BXBX NOVEL Chapter 942: The Gods' Play?
However, only the highest-level people were qualified to say this.
After the announcement.
The three of them reconfirmed the contents of the contract.
In the end.
The underground alliance was formed.
"Then, we can make a plan for our next move…"
Matthew took out a pen and paper and was about to write something.
However, Camela was swift and decisive.
" The plan has been formulated. We have to act first!
" Let\'s go. Let\'s take a look at the place where I live in seclusion. If there\'s nothing unusual, we\'ll go straight into the ground!"
Lorraine raised both hands in agreement.
Seeing this, Matthew naturally did not dawdle.
He then led the two into the Cauldron House. Through the Alliance\'s teleportation portal, the three of them arrived at the northern part of the Guardian Highland!
Matthew was no stranger to this place.
He had just been here, but he was heading southwest to Cross City. Now, the three of them were heading east.
Over there.
There was an area called East Lake.
That was the buffer zone between the Watcher Highland and the Court of Fallen Leaves.
To the east of the East Lake was a small Black Forest. That was where Camela had lived in seclusion.
In order to hide their tracks.
After leaving the teleportation circle, Lorraine used a spell to summon two horses. He and Carmela rode quickly on one horse each.
Matthew summoned his flying horse, Oli.
His riding skills were very average. If he rode on an ordinary horse, even if he had a saddle, he would feel uncomfortable under his crotch. Sometimes, he would even feel like he was being torn apart.
But Oli was different.
When riding this pegasus, Matthew could experience the most perfect feeling.
Her back was as soft as a sponge, and when she walked, it was as if she was walking on flat ground. She was steady and would not cause any bumps.
More importantly…
Oli had the ability to disguise herself as an ordinary horse. Matthew cast a magic trick on himself to make himself look like an ordinary person.
Just like that.
The three of them walked in the direction of East Lake in an orderly manner.
The road from Watcher Highland to East Lake was a small one, and the horses were not moving fast.
Along the way.
They encountered many refugees, many of whom were sallow and emaciated, with dull eyes.
When a few of them saw the three of them riding past, a hint of hostility flashed across their eyes.
But in the end, they did not have the ability to attack the people riding the horses.
Matthew also bumped into a few guys who were suspected to be robbers, but these robbers had some eyesight and did not attack the three people who passed by quickly.
It was already noon when they arrived at East Lake.
Although Camela and Lorraine were both in the legendary realm, they were not tireless machines.
They also needed to rest to maintain their peak condition.
Therefore, they had a quick lunch by the lake.
The main dishes were pre-baked potatoes and butter bread. Matthew also brought a few portions of mushroom soup and bacon that Peggy had prepared in advance, as well as some other food.
Of course.
As a mage, milk was a must.
"It\'s been a long time since I\'ve tasted Peggy\'s cooking. I\'m a little regretful now. I should have stayed in the cemetery for another day.
"You don\'t know, but I haven\'t had a good meal recently!"
Lorraine chewed hard while complaining crazily.
The way he ate was rather ungentlemanly. Bread crumbs fell to the ground, and his chest hair trembled. He looked as if he had just been released from prison.
Matthew was curious.
"Didn\'t you just take over the news department?
"Could it be that the dining conditions in the news department are not satisfactory?"
Lorraine immediately wiped the corners of his mouth and squeezed out a stiff smile.
"In theory, it\'s not convenient for me to say anything bad about the news department.
"After all, I volunteered."
Seeing Lorraine like this…
Matthew was even more curious.
However, since Lorraine was unwilling to say it, it was not convenient for him to ask.
After lunch.
Just as the group was about to set off, a group of bats suddenly came from afar and quickly swept across the water.
Matthew sensed the malice of these bats.
However, before he could do anything.
Camela had already cast Dispel.
Under the strong light of the Dispel spell, the bats retreated.
In the next moment.
They flew to the Black Forest on the east side of the lake and disappeared.
" Those aren\'t ordinary bats."
Lorraine\'s eyes were sharp.
" They are the blood sacs of a high-level vampire!"
Matthew nodded.
The so-called blood sac was equivalent to a vampire using its own body to make moving claws and teeth.
It was inconvenient for vampires to move during the day.
Therefore, these minions would take their place in hunting during the day.
These bats could suck blood.
However, most of the blood they absorbed would be stored in their bodies and would have to be handed over when they returned to the nest.
Hence the name.
The blood sacs were active, which meant that there was a high-level vampire living nearby!
East Lake was close to the Watcher Highland and could barely be considered as the edge of civilization.
The Seven Saint Alliance had been suppressing evil creatures, especially the Blood Breeds, over the years.
There were traces of vampire activity here.
It was actually very unusual.
Matthew looked at Camela.
The latter nodded lightly.
"There are indeed some Vampires living here, but they are not aggressive. Even the blood sacs just now usually only absorb the blood of some cattle, sheep, or other wild animals. They rarely do anything life-threatening."
