Torento immediately bowed and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master. I'll be on my way first."
Li Ziyu waved his hand, indicating that Torento could leave.
When Torento hurried away, he did not forget to instruct the housekeeper to obey Li Ziyu's orders and never disobey them.
Very attentive, no wonder he is a noble.
Li Ziyu was secretly satisfied, and turned to look at Elena, but found that she was looking out the window with a worried look on her face, and couldn't help but shouted in confusion, "Elena, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah?" Elena seemed to come back to life, lowered her head and whispered, "No, nothing."
Li Ziyu blinked and asked, "Do you know what the bell ringing just now means?"
Elina nodded, "Yes, everyone knows."
Tsk, this doesn’t sound very pleasant. It feels like you are scolding me. After all, I don’t know.
Li Ziyu looked at Elena helplessly and spoke again, "Tell me, what does the bell mean? Why is it ringing so late at night? Aren't you afraid of Byron vampires? Oh, the blood-sucking monsters you mentioned? Wouldn't ringing the bell at night attract them?"
Elena raised her head again, looking outside with melancholy, muttering, "No, the blood-sucking monsters are coming, there are so many of them, otherwise the bell wouldn't be ringing. That's the alarm bell. When the bell rings, it means a large number of blood-sucking monsters are attacking. I don't know if they can avoid it."
Now Li Ziyu understood why Elena looked worried and depressed. It turned out that Byron the vampire had come.
As for her last sentence, she probably was worried about the neighbors on that street.
Li Ziyu picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fruity tea, and comforted him, "Don't worry, the bell has rung, and the soldiers will drive the monster away."
Elena shook her head and said to Li Ziyu, "No, the soldiers won't care about us. Whenever the vampire monsters attack the city, we become sacrifices. The nobles of the inner city offer us blood food. Once we feed the monsters with our lives, they will leave and never invade the inner city again."
Li Ziyu's hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air. After a few seconds, he exhaled and slowly put the teacup down.
Do you feel comfortable or not?
Naturally it is uncomfortable.
Anyone with a little sense of justice would feel uncomfortable hearing such a thing.
Is this fair or unfair?
Nature is unfair.
But there is not so much justice and fairness in the world.
Li Ziyu is not a saint, and the profession of saint has long been out of fashion. No one who sets up a stall will claim to be a saint.
Besides, even if he wanted to manage it, does he have the ability to do so?
The Castle of the Undead is gone, and he only has about twenty black knights left. Even if he sends them all out, they won't be able to save the people in the city.
Sundberg is not under his jurisdiction, and he has no obligation to manage it.
If it is a relative of the undead, like Torento, he can lend a helping hand, but as for others, he can only wish for the best.
Shortly after Torento left, a strange energy swept across the entire city of Sundberg.
Li Ziyu, who was closer to the center and the temple, suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where the energy came from.
Such a familiar feeling, it is the unique energy of the undead, mixed with a hint of soul energy.
As an ordinary human being, Li Ziyu's understanding of soul energy is naturally not as deep as that of the undead, but after spending a long time with the undead, he can still understand it to some extent.
He turned his head to look at the Black Warrior standing beside him, and saw the Black Warrior nodded, and a thought was transmitted into his soul, "The guardian power of the Temple of the Dead."
"Hahaha……"
The heavy breathing caught Li Ziyu's attention. He turned his head and saw Elena covering her chest, breathing heavily, her face flushed.
What’s going on?!
Li Ziyu noticed something was wrong and looked at the housekeeper and maid next to him. Sure enough, their condition was not right either. Their breathing became much heavier, but much better than Elena's.
Is it because of the soul energy just now?
Li Ziyu frowned and turned his gaze to the black warrior again.
The Dark Warrior promptly answered, "They are not followers. The guardian power has a suppressive effect on them. It's not fatal, but it makes them very uncomfortable."
I see.
That makes sense. The Temple of the Dead was originally meant to protect the dependents. When the protective energy is activated, it is naturally to expel other people.
Humans like Elena have lived in the temple for a long time and have become somewhat immune to the temple's energy. Therefore, when the temple releases its protective power, they can still barely resist, otherwise they would probably lose their lives.
As for why the butler and the maid are in better condition than Elena, first of all, their physical fitness is not comparable to that of a slum girl like Elena. Secondly, they live closer to the temple and have been disturbed by trace energy for a long time, which makes their bodies more adaptable, so they can perform in better condition.
It seems that the Temple discovered the invasion of Byron's vampires, so it released the power of protection to drive away those annoying things.
Torento came out of the manor and hurried to the city lord's mansion.
Not long after he walked out, he felt the power of the temple passing through his body. He was stunned at first, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.
With the power of the temple as a blessing, we will be much more confident in dealing with the vampire monsters.
When we arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, although it was late, it was still bustling. Because of the invasion of Byron the vampire, all the officials of Sundburg came to the City Lord's Mansion, walking in and out in a hurry, and everyone's face was full of tension and worry.
