Back inside the house, the gravekeepers seemed to have finished their internal discussion.

"Now that everyone is here, I'll be frank... We have decided to cooperate with Armand to fight those ancient vampires together..."

Miss An said.

It seems that the proposal was passed by a large margin among the gravekeepers... Even Mr. Sernes had to agree to cooperate in the end...

"But... Senes's worries are not without reason. Vampires are fickle. Even if Armand Murdoch is not such a person, her subordinates may not be... We must be on guard."

"So, everyone should try to preserve their strength and not take action unless necessary..."

"understood."

Everyone said in unison.

"Well, besides... the three of you should protect yourselves... especially Miss Alchemist, try to follow behind Andros, that should be the safest place..."

"Ok."

"We've been tired for a whole day. Let's all go to sleep. We need to keep up with the schedule of the vampires... so that we can be in the best condition to face the next... battle..."

"I'll keep watch... No, I'll be on sentry duty... I slept last night."

As soon as I said the word "night watch", I realized that it was a bit out of place, it was daytime now...

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Wu Yue."

......

Before everyone went to bed, Old Bree set up a magic circle around the house as an alarm.

Afterwards, everyone except me rested in the house, and I returned to the roof.

"Since I have nothing to do, I'll go scout around the cave..."

The master said.

"Eh? Is everything okay? Will it be..."

"It's okay, there's no life in me... As long as they don't get close, they won't be able to detect me."

"Then be careful..."

"Ah."

After the master finished speaking, he emerged from the shadow behind me and disappeared at the end of the roof in an instant.

"Oh? Interesting shadow... a magic I've never seen before..."

I don’t know how Moon got around Old Bree’s magic circle... Maybe she was within the range from the beginning?

Although Master said she meant absolutely no harm...especially not towards me, I still felt uneasy about this elusive creature.

"The conversation just now was interrupted... It's not over yet..."

Moon jumped down lightly from a height and landed smoothly without making any sound.

"Did you hear it all?"

"Of course. I also reported it to Armand. I haven't had much contact with gravekeepers. I thought they were a bunch of demon-hunting fanatics. I didn't expect them to be able to judge the situation. They are more flexible than the church guys. I don't dislike them."

Moon walked over to me naturally and sat down, with a familiar floral scent coming from his body.

Light...refreshing...

Is it Margaret flower?

"Did you use perfume? Or have you been to..."

"It's perfume... It's very popular among the vampires recently. It seems to have been promoted by Armand..."

So the buyer behind the sea of ​​flowers planted in Colin Village is actually... Ms. Armand?

I dare not jump to conclusions, but the Marguerite flower is rare, but it happened to appear within the vampire clan, and it happened to be promoted by Ms. Armand... It's hard not to imagine.

"What are you thinking?"

"nothing."

“…I’ve also been to that sea of ​​flowers.”

"Did you go there when you were spying?"

"Peeping? That's a harsh word to put it, I was just observing."

"So why do you 'observe' that girl all day long?"

"Curious? Malice? Protection? Murder? What do you think? You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Moon is very good at killing conversation... although I have no right to say anything about her at this point...

The topic was interrupted for a moment, and Moon spoke again:

"Are you investigating Vanya Assamite?"

"How come you know it again?"

"Armand let it slip by accident. You might as well ask me directly instead of asking her."

"I ask you, will you tell me? I don't think so..."

"Don't take it for granted. How do you know I won't tell you?"

"Well, let me ask you, do you know her?"

"Yes, as a fellow Assamite, of course I know her. After all, she is the True Ancestor and our leader."

"Then where is she now?"

"died."

???

"What...did you say? Dead?"

"Yes, he's dead. I killed him."

Moon's tone was so calm that it seemed as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Why are you reacting so strongly? You have no grudge against her, so if she dies, she dies."

"Why did you... kill her?"

"Because I was like, how about this reason?"

As expected of Assamite... He can even kill his own people...

"I knew you wouldn't understand. Let me tell you this. The vampires are like this, a race born out of 'betrayal'. Moreover, the doctrine of Assamite is 'using chaos as a ladder to seize the blood of the same race for one's own use'... The dead man had no objection..."

"I'm sorry, no matter what... I can't accept this..."

"Of course you can't accept it. People like you who walk in the sunshine and have never experienced darkness naturally won't worry about survival. You don't live in an environment where the strong prey on the weak, and you don't know the law of the jungle that 'if you don't kill someone, someone will kill you'..."

"How many people have you killed? How many of them were forced?"

"When your dagger slashed across their necks... did your heart waver?"

"......I......"

I was speechless after hearing what Moon said.

I have killed people... but because of the "Calming Secret", and because most of them were so-called "bad guys", it was easy to get over that inner barrier...

If I didn’t have the “Secret of Meditation”… would I still be able to maintain that calmness?

Seeing that I was speechless, Moon continued:

"The first time I killed someone, it wasn't even against a heinous person... She was even someone I knew..."

"My friend..."
