“Whew…. the magic circle won’t last long without my essence, and if this continues then who knows what mishap might occur. Today is you three, and tomorrow? I can’t afford to drag this out. All I want is to get this over with as soon as possible and leave.”
Patty took a seat on one of the chairs and propped her head against her hands while leaning against the table, “I came to this hospital a month ago and sensed the fluctuation of magic in the air. Out of curiosity, I investigated and encountered the two black-robed men casting their necromancy here. I fought them off and severely injured one, but the price is my right arm getting injured as well.”
“I don’t know their purpose, nor do I care, but undead magic in the necromancy art is a taboo in the West as well. The consequences are unimaginable and will surely attract the ire of the Monster Alliance. I naturally have to stay and stop this disaster from unfolding.”
“Black robed?” Hearing this, Dawn’s head got an idea: “Do you two remember what the monster hunters told us before? The ones behind the female ghost also wore black robes.”
“Of course I remember, but I don’t know if it’s the same group of people or not. Besides, there are so many dark magic users out there, just wearing black robes doesn’t identify anything.” Shadow spreads her hands out in a helpless manner.
“Mmm… guess you’re right.” Dawn flinched before nodding helplessly as well at the logic.
Patty on the other hand became a little confused over their conversation. She’s not one to dwell on others’ experiences, and the reason she told them her story was so the three would leave after hearing the dangers involved.
“The person who just took your essence blood away is your accomplice?” Dawn asked.
“Huh? You can notice my injury but can’t tell he’s my blood servant?” Patty raised an eyebrow and sounded surprised in her voice, “Don’t tell me you still can’t guess my race after all I’ve shown?”
“Landlord, she’s a vampire from the West… Actually, Blood Race, that’s the proper term.” Shadow explained since she understood the guy’s lack of knowledge, “Blood servants are puppets they create with their own power.”
“Puppets? How come they are like real people?”
This time it was Patty who took the initiative to explain: “That’s obvious, blood servants are humans before they become one. It doesn’t matter if they are dead or alive before the ritual. Also, my blood servant was a cancer patient before he died. The time of death is half a month ago before I converted him, and I got his permission to do so.”
That’s enlightening for Dawn and explains a lot for the guy. No wonder the man wore a red wristband, it turns out he’s not a living person to begin with.
“Excuse me for asking then, how did you get his consent?” Boink the hamster chimes in and asked. In his view, most ordinary people wouldn’t agree since it’s equivalent to becoming a living dead.
Patty smirked deviously and rubbed her thumb against the index finger, the same kind of smile found in those bankers. “Of course it’s money. I smashed him with so much of the green stuff that he agreed. This is also the reason why I can stay here for so long. I believe my hand gesture is correct, right?
“…..” The three of them were speechless for a while.
“If there’s nothing else then I suggest you three leave now. I’ll be leaving too once this is over.” Patty waved her hand to change the topic before gracefully taking a sip from her prepared teacup.
“Mmm… we’re not in a rush to leave. Actually, we’re here to look for my tenant.” Dawn took the teapot and pours himself a drink as well, “Maybe you might not understand what I’m saying.”
Speaking of this, Dawn suddenly realized something and swiftly brought out his pendant to check, and sure enough, the displayed arrow inside the thing was pointing directly at Patty!
