It has probably only been in the last few years that it has come into the world.
Just as the Knights of the End are a pack, the Vampire Hunters, who are basically individuals, also have a network. And their information network is much broader than that of the demise knights, who can directly sense the negative energy of the undead.
It didn't take long for word to spread among the Vampire Hunters about the existence of a strange crystal that hid the presence of the undead.
It all started when one of the vampire hunters defeated a high-ranking undead who possessed the crystals. The analysis revealed that the power of the crystal defied common sense, and the main source of the crystal was immediately investigated.
Lefley frowns and says in a reproachful tone.
I'm sure you're not the only one.
"Because there was no ...... proof. We can't give uncertain information to the high profile Knights of the End. We're--we're weak.
"Well said, .......
Nevilla turns his glaring, swarthy eyes on Kainushi.
It's not that the Knights of the Apocalypse and vampire hunters are outright enemies, but they're not friends either. In the first place, the Knights of the End are skeptical of the existence of vampire hunters. To them, civilians are the ones to be protected, and a vampire hunter with no talent for manipulating blessings is no different, no matter how much resentment they hold against the undead in their hearts.
And this is important -- the Night Crystals are meaningless to a vampire hunter who cannot sense negative energy and therefore seeks out his enemies with knowledge, experience and information. The crystal is a great advantage for the undead, and if they can obtain it, they can use it as bait to attract enemies.
In light of this, no vampire hunter would give information to the Knights of the End, who were an unbeatable competitor. That's all I'm saying.
Nearby, Alba, who had lost her curse and whose abilities had been greatly diminished, was roaring and holding Nevilla and the others in check. Whether it was because of his innate qualities or because he had been under the curse for too long, Alba still had the will to fight of a fierce dog. His body language was that of a beast, and it would not be long before he would be able to work as a vampire hunter again.
He clicks his staff and walks through the streets of [Descend]. Nevilla, who is following behind you, frowns when she sees the many waterways and clean streets.
But what is this town? I've never seen a city so blatantly anti-vampire.
In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the following web site: .......
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
I'm not sure what to make of that.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
There are limits. People are surprisingly insensitive to invisible threats. That's why we've warned you so many times. But it's still ...... disconcerting to see a model answer like this.
The measures will be costly. It would have cost a lot of money to cover all the water ways in the town, to dig a deep moat outside the wall, and of course to put silver everywhere.
[Descend] is not a small town, but it is not a big city either. There is no example in the world of a town of this size taking measures to this extent. There is a strong sentiment of delusion in it.
Lefley then asked Kainushi, who was walking with a cane, but without hesitation.
Where are we going? To the mayor?
Surely the best place to go to find out what was going on in the city was to the mayor's office.
The Knights of the End is a prestigious organization. No matter how much he disliked them on the inside, it was highly unlikely that he would be disrespected outwardly.
But Cainusi lifted the edge of his lips and said with a smile on his bony cheeks.
No, no. It's a friend's place. But I--I know a lot of people.
§.
Hunting vampires is not a well-liked profession.
They hunt vampires in exchange for a lot of money. It doesn't matter how they do it, sometimes they have to destroy buildings or kill or injure civilians to get what they want. Some of them go too far and are arrested as criminals.
Of course, the existence of the Knights of the End, an overly heroic organization, is another reason why they are not well-liked, but in order to kill a monster, you have to become a monster. It's a story of fate.
Therefore, vampire hunters help each other. They have a network of people who have a strong grudge against vampires and the undead.
Kainushi led him to an inconspicuous bar in the basement.
The location was not great, but the chic interior gave off a sense of elegance and luxury. There were no customers, partly because it was still midday, but also because the prices of the drinks and food were much higher than average.
But the most striking feature of the bar is that it does not smell of garlic.
The owner of the bar, an older man with a calm demeanor, looked up at the sudden visitor and frowned when he saw Cainusi.
The owner of the bar looked up at the sudden visitor and frowned when he saw Cainusi. "Trouble, ......, with a demise knight in tow? Cainusi.
I want information. I want information. I'd also like to know what you're cooking that doesn't contain garlic. Garlic is enough of a weapon.
There is a restaurant that does not serve garlic that exists quietly in a city where the smell of garlic is everywhere.
The vampire hunters are cowards. Unlike the Knights of the Apocalypse, they don't make any public moves.
Lefley's eyes widen at this exchange. It's no secret that the vampire hunters are organized, but I didn't expect them to be in a city that the Knights of the End had no interest in.
"How long have you been in this city?
Cainusi sat down and answered the question.
"For decades, Knight of the End. We are--everywhere.
A formidable intelligence network. Lefley's exchange with Cainusi reaffirmed the vampire hunters' unique network.
Not so with the Knights of the End. It's a matter of suitability.
The Knights of the End are authoritative, but they are also impartial. Perhaps the reason why vampire hunting has not disappeared yet is that there are certain people who are not willing to surrender to justice.
A vampire hunter receives a large sum of money to hunt vampires. Clients spend large sums of money to have vampire hunters avenge them. Unlike the Knights of the End, the client is not a bystander.
The owner of the bar has been in the city for a long time and knows everything about the city.
The earthquake had destroyed the castle of the Demon Lord of the Shadow and exposed the end of the dungeon. The mayor had suddenly taken measures against vampires. And that the undead had begun to appear in the ruins of the castle, and that he had hired mercenaries to kill them.
Nevilla, who heard the story, spat out the following words.
It's a shame, ......, but why don't you take the necessary steps and contact the Knights of the End?
The current mayor is a mediocre man. He has a certain amount of greed, a certain amount of ambition, but he doesn't have the talent to fulfill it.
Lefley frowns at the shopkeeper's words.
I need to find out what's going on, but it's not looking good. Most of these people have an aversion to the Knights of the End. If that's all there is to it, there's no problem, but if the Night Crystals are involved, it can't be overlooked.
I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm not sure what to make of it.
I'm not sure what to make of this.
Wait, we should talk to him peacefully first.
You never know what a vampire hunter is capable of. Nevilla looks uncomfortable because he thinks it's sweet. Nevilla's temperament is more like that of a vampire hunter than a demise knight.
At Lufry's words, Cainusi sniffed once and smiled.
Lufrey, it seems that your opinion and mine are the same. Let's work together and get this done peacefully.

Suddenly I heard the sound of gears turning.
A metal door visible far above. The wall in front of it was slowly moving. It seems to be a trap wall. It was a complete trap.
As I endure the pain, I check on Senri, who is calm as usual.
I don't care, but Senri has been through too much. I'm counting on her, but is it selfish of me to want to see her a little upset?
The walls are not moving that fast, but the ceiling is too high. Even if I jumped up now, I wouldn't be able to get through. I shout to Razal and the others who are supposed to be up there.
"Wait for me in the city! I'll be right back.
I'll be right back.
The air shuddered, and the way out was completely blocked. It's near total darkness.
My first thought was not about the future of this underground palace, but about the way out. I look up at the ceiling and do the math.
Can I get out? Normally, I would have found another way out. But I'm a monster beyond human understanding.
I don't know what will happen, but if I ignore the pain and use my strength to turn into a big dog, I can break the ceiling. My claws can cut through a mere rock.
No, Senri has Epe's Photon Delight. That terrifying power, combined with physical destructive power, should be able to accurately shoot through the door alone.
Don't worry. I can get Senri back to Earth alive.
Even in the near-darkness, my eyes could see everything. I ask Senri.
"Senri, can you see?
"I managed to see ......, end.
Apparently, true darkness is no problem. I can't help but wonder what kind of training it takes to make a knight like him.
Senri pointed to the golem that I killed. I don't know what she's referring to, but I do what she says, and Senri says in a quiet voice.
This golem is made of a mineral that absorbs blessings.
"What? I'm not sure what to make of that.
It is said that holy silver passes blessings well. If that's the case, it's not surprising that there's a substance that absorbs blessings, but it's completely unexpected.
"A very rare mineral. Even necromancers have it. ...... rare. See, there's one on this arrowhead.
He's totally trying to kill me. I don't know what kind of power it has, but without the blessing, Senri is just a beautiful, kind girl.
But the arrowhead had no effect on me. The wound has already healed. The living and the dead. Demon knights and vampires. It's impossible to take action at the same time.
I'm going to have to concentrate on ...... to protect Senri. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
