"What did you talk about when you met? Judging from this letter, it seems you talked quite a bit," Yun Zhe changed the subject again and continued to ask.
Hamelin straightened his hair and began to recount the events of the evening.
The two vampires were named Daniel and Deborah. They had observed the village for two days and discovered it was far from ordinary, harboring many hidden talents, including a vampire besides Hamelin, and a highly skilled one who had infiltrated the human community. Unsure of each other's strength, they cautiously went directly to Hamelin's door.
Hamelin paused for a moment at this point.
"In short, they couldn't reach an agreement, and they resorted to violence. Unfortunately, Akdina, who was meant to be their secret weapon, didn't have any effect and was instead kidnapped." Hamelin gave an awkward laugh as he said this.
"So what are your plans? At this moment, Debini is definitely beyond saving, but Akdina, I think there's still some chance." Yun Zhe tried to analyze Hamelin's facial expression, but to no avail.
Hamelin coughed softly. "Is Debini really beyond saving?"
Yun Zhe nodded. "The vampire hunters will arrive tomorrow. Unless we resolve this matter tonight, you might still have a chance to save Debbie, but..."
But what?
“However, if you reappear in front of us, it might not be so easy.” Yun Zhe looked outside the door. Debini had calmed down, and the doorway was piled with firewood. Presumably, these people planned to burn Debini alive.
"My lord, madam," Gao appeared in the doorway, holding a torch. "My lord, we plan to burn this house down so the vampire inside will never live again!" Gao's tone was filled with a strange excitement, after all, this was the first time he had ever defeated a vampire. Although it might be the only time in his life.
Yun Zhe looked at Hamelin, then at Gao, "Gao, don't light the fire. The vampire will rush out the moment the house collapses, unless he's tightly bound inside."
Gao was taken aback; clearly, this was something he hadn't expected.
"Reinforce the door properly. The vampire hunters will be here tomorrow. Let's leave it to the professionals," Yun Zhe said softly, watching Gao's face gradually turn red.
Gao nodded and left.
Hamelin said angrily in a low voice, "You should have let them set the fire!"
"Are you sure Debini will be able to break through?" Yun Zhe asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at Hamelin's angry expression.
Hamelin was taken aback. Indeed, she wasn't confident. Even now, she wasn't sure she could come out of a burning house unharmed.
"So, we still have one night to figure out how to get rid of these two vampires."
Deep in the forest, Akdina was pinned to two trees by four crossbow bolts, her wounds bleeding profusely and unable to heal, bringing her to the brink of unconsciousness.
"My dear, with such a beautiful elf before you, how can you not be tempted?" Deborah, dressed in red, held a wooden stick stained with blood. She sat there, facing Akdina, brazenly eyeing her body.
Daniel was cautiously observing his surroundings. He put down his crossbow, glanced at the female elf who had almost killed him, and shook his head.
I like virgins.
"Ha, how do you know she's not a virgin?"
Daniel glanced at Deborah, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I knew it from that man's reaction. When you grabbed this girl, he went crazy. It was so obvious. Besides, I'd actually heard of this female elf vampire."
"Oh?" Deborah became interested. She looked at Daniel with curiosity.
Daniel sat down on the ground, glanced at Akdina, and then looked at Deborah. "Unfortunately, you can't kill this woman. I have a secret mission. I need to bring this woman to the Duke, alive. Do you understand?"
Deborah scoffed, "That old lecher."
“What if that bitch Hamelin doesn’t come?” Deborah suddenly asked.
“Oh, you don’t need to worry about that, his son will definitely come,” Daniel said confidently.
"Ha, so you're a little pervert." Deborah understood instantly. Then, she looked at Daniel with seductive eyes, "Since you know so much about perverts, are you a pervert yourself?"
Daniel hugged Deborah tightly. "You know me best, don't you?"
The two were so engrossed in their sweet nothings that they didn't notice Akdina, who was on the verge of fainting, gradually regaining her senses.
Livia and Gerald were sitting by the campfire, roasting the river fish they had just caught.
They traveled for nearly ten days before finally arriving near River Valley Village that afternoon. Looking at the village shrouded in the hazy sunset, they didn't rush in but stopped to rest. They also sent a letter to Ellie.
Livia rubbed her hands excitedly as she watched the fish gradually charring over the fire. Meanwhile, Gerald, deep in thought, looked at Livia and said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to cooperate with vampires to kill them?"
Livia glanced at Gerald and said, "You're so rigid. Vampires fighting each other, and we're profiting from it. It's a good thing no matter how you look at it."
Jerok sighed helplessly; clearly, this answer did not completely satisfy him.
Livia couldn't stand it any longer. She coughed softly and then said seriously, "Vampires are like humans; there are good vampires and bad vampires. At least Ellie is a good vampire, so helping Ellie and eliminating bad vampires is not contradictory."
Seeing Livia's serious expression, Jerok breathed a sigh of relief. "I understand what you mean." With that, he reached out, grabbed a grilled fish, and took a big bite.
Livia shrugged, then grabbed one and bit down hard.
The sky was beginning to lighten, and the area around Hamelin's house was completely empty; the soldiers had all withdrawn. Hamelin walked to the doorway, which was surrounded by layers of nails, pacing back and forth, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping.
"Mother..." a faint voice came from inside the house.
Hamelin's heart skipped a beat, and he replied softly, "I'm here."
After a long silence, "Mother, am I going to die?"
Hamelin's heart tightened, and he whispered, "I'll find a way to save you."
A longer silence followed. "Mother, I'm so glad you didn't leave."
Hamelin felt a sharp pang in his heart. "Silly child, how could I leave?"
Hamelin waited for a long time, but there was no more sound coming from the other side of the door. Just as she was hesitating to leave,
"Mother, save Akdina, she shouldn't... she deserves a better life..."
Hamelin paused for a moment, then gave a heavy "hmm" and strode out of the room.
