Chapter 19 Conflict of Faith

Sauron had just entered with his front foot when a figure followed behind him.

However, he didn't go directly through the main door like Sauron, but quietly entered one of the rooms through the window from the side. The luxurious furnishings in the rooms here are a bit out of place compared to this remote town, and there are even some extremely expensive oriental porcelains on the ledges in the corners. The floor is covered with soft carpets, and the quilt in the room is expensive velvet. From any point of view, the decoration here is not something that a little noble in a remote area can enjoy.

Dead Leaf Town doesn't have much arable land, and there aren't many special products. The tax revenue is mainly from the rent collected by the lord.

This little money is barely enough to maintain a decent life.

It is estimated that in some larger cities, a slightly wealthy businessman can live a little more comfortably than this kind of nobleman.

But looking at the decorations in this house now, they are at least at the level of viscount nobles, that is, the luxurious decoration of private estates of middle-level nobles.

This aristocratic background may not be very clean!

Sauron walked around this rather luxurious mansion, and realized that the identity of the other party might not be clean.

simply speaking.

A normal income can't support this kind of life. Ordinary bedrooms are decorated at this level. It is estimated that the owner's bedroom can be comparable to Gloria's bedroom in Baima City.

What is Gloria's identity?

She is a member of the Northland Witch Council and the actual ruler of a Northland city. The status gap between the two cannot be compared.

Da da da.

Sauron, who was advancing, stopped suddenly. He was completely invisible in the stealth state, so he didn't worry about being discovered by others at all. A vampire servant walked in front of him just now, and he didn't notice Sauron standing one meter away in front of him at all. Unless Sauron has an obvious bloody smell and relies on the vampire's blood tracking ability to detect it, it is basically impossible for them to detect Sauron's existence.

There was a slight noise from another room.

Sauron took a step back alertly. Then even though the door of a room with windows on the side was opened, but no figure was seen, the door was only gently opened, and then gently closed again.

Wanderer!

There is also a high-level rogue here.

The opponent's stealth ability is comparable to that of Sauron, Sauron has no way to see through the opponent's stealth, and the opponent does not seem to be aware of Sauron.

If it wasn't for the sudden opening of the door. It is estimated that two people will be able to detect each other by relying on perception ability and experience accumulation after they are close enough. But now that Sauron has determined the opponent's position first, the opportunity is in his hands. If he wants, he can even kill this target within three seconds.

But if he did that, his tracks would be revealed.

With a trace of curiosity in his heart, Sauron temporarily restrained the idea of ​​determining the other party's identity. Instead, he quietly followed behind, opened a certain distance, and then planned to see what he came here to spy on.

Definitely not a vampire!

Not many people would be bored enough to play stealth in their own territory. Just now he obviously waited for the vampire servant to leave before coming out. It was very likely that he was a stalker from another force.

In such a remote town. Except for Sauron the Eyeless, there would be high-level rogues everywhere.

This house is relatively large.

The wanderer in front seemed to be more familiar, and he probably came to investigate secretly. He came to a door with only a few turns and turns, and then opened a door leading to the basement.

creak.

There is a distinct sound as the door is opened. The rogues up front also seemed a little nervous.

After opening the door, he sneaked in quietly, and then he closed the door casually. It is definitely not a good habit to close the door casually. Sauron had no choice but to wait there for a while, and then gently opened the door. There are torches on both sides of the basement, and the steps below lead to the depths, and it looks like there is still a tunnel. It is estimated that it has been arranged here for some years.

Just entered the basement.

Sauron smelled a faint smell of blood.

At the corner of the stairs, he saw a limp corpse. The killing method was straightforward, a very simple one-hit kill, directly hitting the enemy's heart, and then twisting the opponent's neck.

"It's a master!"

Sauron glanced at the corpse, and his expression gradually became serious. The vitality of the vampire servant was very tenacious, and it was absolutely impossible for ordinary wanderers to be able to kill them with one blow. Either he is an experienced veteran, or he is a high-level professional with a professional level of 16 or above. Sauron can see a bit of the fierceness of an assassin from the position where the corpse was hit.

This guy may have been trained to fight as an Assassin!

Along the passage, you can see some weird murals. Sauron didn't have time to look at them, because he found two more corpses in front.

"Close to legendary strength!"

Sauron glanced at the two corpses lying in the corner, and his expression became more serious, because these two enemies were still killed in one blow, and he killed two enemies at the same time without alarming others. Even with Sauron's current abilities, it's not that easy. The rogue in front of him may have reached a career level of 18 or above.

In other words, he is at least a quasi-legendary rogue!

As he got deeper and deeper into it, Sauron's vision gradually widened, and a large secret room appeared in front of him. The most eye-catching thing was a building similar to an altar. In the center of this altar was a pool of blood. , there are several smaller blood pools on all sides. No wonder these vampires didn't notice that their companions had been killed. The smell of blood here was so strong that it was basically impossible for them to smell another smell of blood.

The Altar of the Son of the Vampire God!

As a dark creature that feeds on the blood of living people, Sauron naturally didn't expect to see anything good near their altar.

However, looking at the size of these blood pools, it seems that vampires have been entrenched here for a while, and there are not dozens or hundreds of missing people, and these blood pools cannot be filled at all.

A prayer ceremony is in progress inside the altar!

In the center is a priest wearing a black robe, and then an old man dressed as aristocrats. Vampires do not age, so his current appearance undoubtedly represents that he was transformed by others after his body entered an old age state. Became a vampire. As for the reasons for becoming a vampire, it is estimated that there are only a few kinds.

A frantic prayer ceremony.

Sauron didn't find the original wanderer, but he could be sure that the other party was hiding somewhere nearby.

"Bring up the sacrifice!"

After finishing the last prayer, the black-robed priest gave instructions to the believers kneeling under the altar.

soon.

Then a person was brought to the altar.

He was shackled by chains, and he didn't seem to be an ordinary person from the back view. To deal with ordinary people, these vampires don't need to be locked up with shackles made of fine steel.

This is a pro!

Sauron couldn't see the opponent's appearance clearly from behind, and couldn't judge his occupation. He could only be sure that he should be a melee professional.

but.

As the sacrificial man was brought up, Sauron immediately noticed that the nearby shadows twisted.

"Kneel down!"

The black-robed priest shouted coldly, but what responded to him was a mouthful of thick phlegm and a fanatical voice. "The one without eyes is the true god! You believers in false gods won't survive long!..."

boom.

With a heavy punch, he forcibly suppressed the man's words.

Hearing what he said, Sauron immediately figured out the ins and outs of the matter. It seemed that there was a conflict between the Eyeless People and the Church of Vampires. At present, believers are captured by vampires. When the man on the altar was punched hard, Sauron also saw the man's appearance clearly when he turned sideways. The man had only one eye, and the other eye socket was empty.

A high-ranking member of the Aimless Organization!

Only a true fanatic would gouge out his own eyes, no wonder high-level rogues came to rescue him.

but.

How does a rogue alone defeat these vampires?

As soon as a trace of doubt appeared in Sauron's heart, he felt a vibration around him, followed by a violent noise from above.
