On the side of Dead Leaf Town is a cemetery.
In remote towns of this era, cemeteries were rarely placed too far away. This is a bit similar to oriental burials, where cemeteries are concentrated near gathering places. Originally, other people passing by the cemetery would not pay so much attention, but most of the rogues are the eyes and ears scouts in the adventurer team, and their natural observation ability is much stronger. The seasoned wanderer took a quick look and noticed that some of the graves in the cemetery were not right, and the dirt looked like it had been newly turned.
"It should have happened a few days ago."
The ranger scooped up a handful of dirt and looked at it. He even pulled out the weeds that had grown on the tombs. He said solemnly, "At most seven days ago, someone dug up these tombs, and the tombstones were all re-erected from behind."
Someone moved the grave
This discovery made the expressions of the other people present dignified, and the caster, who seemed silent from the beginning to the end, looked around, then cast a spell similar to detection, and then said: "It wasn't the necromancer who did it. There is no breath of undead nearby, and the cemetery here has been blessed by the priest, and undead will not be born automatically."
The paladin's expression was a little angry, and he said in a deep voice, "Who would do that? Desecrating the dead is a serious sin!"
The secular world still respects the dead.
Generally, after being buried in peace, one should not be disturbed. Most of the laws in front of this kind of behavior are strictly prohibited.
"Open it and have a look!" The wanderer said with a solemn expression.
The four people present looked at each other, the paladin looked hesitant, but finally they nodded.
There are oddities in the cemetery.
Soon, they dug up one of the overturned tombs, and then they found that the coffin inside the tomb was actually empty.
"Dark creatures."
The ranger sniffed the smell inside, and said in a deep voice: "This disgusting smell is definitely a dark creature. I have a clear memory of their hatred!"
The wanderer observed the situation of the grave and said slowly, "It might be a vampire."
"Perhaps this place has also been infiltrated by the church of vampires."
…
Sauron didn't know the situation in the cemetery yet.
But it was much easier for him to find the vampire than these people. When it was getting dark, he quietly entered the tavern.
The tavern looked lively.
Beside the bar, there was a troubadour who looked quite down and out. Although bards were also one of the professionals, many of them didn't do well because this profession was too much of a panacea. Troubadours seldom appear as powerful professionals. Those like Hell Bards are completely accidental. More troubadours are like this one, relying on performances to please others in exchange for some rewards. Occasionally a good-looking troubadour can hook up with some noble ladies, so that they can make some extra money.
Third-rate spellcasting ability, third-rate combat ability, and third-rate thieves skills.
Together these are the troubadours.
There have been some powerful troubadours before, but if this profession wants to be extremely powerful, the necessary support is enough powerful attributes. Even Sauron's current attributes may not be enough to support a strong troubadour in all aspects . The troubadours who were able to do this in the past basically had special adventures or received help from the gods. In the past, there was a view that a person with all initial attributes reaching 18 points could become a top troubadour.
If the initial attribute is so strong, it is a first-class caster, a first-class fighter, and a first-class thief.
It's a pity that there are too few such people.
And no matter what occupation you advance to, it is the top level. You must know that Sauron's initial attributes are not so high.
The troubadour is telling a story with the unique way of playing and singing in the North, and the protagonist of the story is Sauron. That's right, he was talking about the battle between Sauron and the pirate king Asrod. This largest naval battle on the south coast in decades is spreading in all directions at an extremely fast speed. More and more ordinary people have heard about it. over this battle.
but.
What the troubadour told had nothing to do with the battle process. In his mouth, the battle was more like a duel between nobles.
Sauron and Asrod fought for three hundred rounds.
In the end, the more evil beheader Sauron killed the pirate king Asrod, and thus pleased the cruel sea goddess.
Roughly such a story.
The focus of the story is the battle between Sauron and Asrod, how the two sides fought endlessly, and how Sauron the Beheader sold a flaw to kill another Pirate King in the end.
Most of the troubadour's stories are unreliable, but this artistic expression undoubtedly attracts the attention of others.
Sauron was a little taken aback.
It's a little uncomfortable to be the protagonist of the story by myself, especially when the other party says that he is weaker than Asrod, and he needs to use tricks to defeat the other party in the end.
Sauron's target soon appeared.
When the sky gradually darkened, two sneaky figures walked out.
He quietly got up and disappeared into the shadows, and then followed them. The two newborn vampire servants did not find him, and it is impossible to find Sauron.
They crossed the street and came to a rather luxurious mansion.
noble!
The ruler of Dead Leaf Town seemed to be a lord whose name Sauron could not remember.
The two vampires entered through the back door, and it was inconvenient for Sauron to follow them directly, so he could only wait for them to enter, and then quietly slipped in from the yard.
The breath of dark creatures.
As soon as Sauron entered it, he felt the breath of dark creatures. It seemed that there were not many living people in this mansion.
"Sure enough, there is a problem here."
He sneaked into it with a serious expression, and said to himself: "No wonder the vampires are lurking here but no one has discovered it. It seems that the nobles who rule here have been corrupted by them."
Some upper-class nobles concealed the truth, and even if there were signs of the spread of vampires, they could temporarily cover them up.
The North is the domain of witches.
Such a remote place belongs to the blind spot of their management, and the strength of the temple is also quite weak.
"They must be destroyed!"
Sauron frowned and listened to the commotion, then quietly approached the hall. The power of the vampire god son could not be further expanded, and this matter had to be told to the Witch Council.
Presumably they would not want a large number of vampires to appear in their ruled area!
Slap.
Very light footsteps.
Just after Sauron entered the mansion, another figure followed, but this figure was a bit special because his eyes were covered with bandages.
His eye sockets are slightly sunken, as if there are no two eyeballs inside!
