From Sander's words, Cheese and others finally understood the general outline of the abnormal phenomena occurring in Iron Castle. According to this vampire, the commotion in Iron Castle did not start during the curfew. Perhaps for ordinary citizens,

The curfew means the beginning of the incident, but for those watching in the darkness of the Iron Castle, the introduction of the curfew is on the contrary the result of the first confrontation between the city lord and outsiders. And since there is no guarantee of protecting the night in the city

, then the outcome of this confrontation will naturally be obvious.

"Wait, I heard you say that, is the city lord of Iron Castle a person who has been exposed to the dark world?" Cheese asked with a frown. This is a very important question. After all, according to Sander, long before the curfew started,

The city lord has already fought a battle with the existence that threatened Iron Castle. But generally speaking, as a manager of a city, although the position of city lord is considered unattainable in the Hammer Territory, looking at the entire continent, I am afraid that

He is just a low-class nobleman. And such a nobleman obviously should not be qualified to know what happens at night.

"It seems like it's not just the Iron Castle. I'm afraid you rarely come here, right?" Hearing Cheese's question, the vampire knew that the mage must not be familiar with the situation here, because if he is a spellcaster who has been in the Cangshi Kingdom for a long time, he will not be familiar with the situation here.

The Hammer Leader must know something about this place. So although it seemed that he asked Cheese a question, in fact, Sande himself already knew the mage's answer.

"Yes, that's right. Why, is this something that everyone knows?" Cheese frowned, and the other party found out his true identity as a result of his rhetoric. This is not something to be happy about.

"That's not true. It's just that many people in the Cangshi Kingdom have heard about the special features of the Duke of Hammer. You don't know anything about it. It shows that you don't usually move around here. But I thought I would ask you.

You won't tell me where it comes from. So let's get back to the main point." Sander paused and said, "Yes, as I just said, the lord or governor of Iron Castle is indeed a spell caster.

And I can guarantee with my real name that not only him, but also the cities within the Fiery Hammer Territory are all governed by similar spellcasters or dark creatures."

Hearing such shocking words, Elsa and the others were just shocked, but Cheese had deeper considerations besides shock.

"Why? Why did the Hammer Grand Guild find so many people from the other side to serve as rulers? This is completely unreasonable. And to accommodate such diverse factions of spellcasters in a limited territory, he is not afraid of not knowing which city lord will be the one that day.

Are you going to cause any natural disasters if you are not happy?" the mage said.

"Yes, what you said is absolutely correct. Although I had heard rumors about the Hammer Territory before I came here, I didn't believe that such a weird area could exist. Especially since this is just a small duchy.

It’s not even an independent kingdom. By doing this, isn’t the Grand Duke of Hammer afraid that the king of Cangshi Kingdom will be unable to sit still? But unfortunately, this is the fact. To be honest, I have settled in Iron Castle for more than ten years.

I am afraid that the wandering time in other places in the Dukedom of Hammer is even longer. During the time I observed, although some problems did occur in the Dukedom of Hammer, to my surprise, no major disaster occurred.

On the contrary, those city lords cherish their territories very much," the vampire said.

"I think this is why you can settle here for such a long time, right?" At first, Cheese thought that the defense setup near Xander's residence was too weak, but after listening to the vampire's words, the mage quickly realized that the defense was weak.

It's not because of Sander's laziness, but because he has obtained the guarantee of legal existence in this city. In fact, it's normal to think about it. Since Grand Duke Hammer can find a mage to be the city lord, then it seems that there is a vampire in the city.

There is nothing unjustifiable.

"Hey, you are right. The city lord of Iron Castle is a human wizard, but he is different from a scholar like you. Although the city lord has also stepped into the door of mystery, the inheritance he received is only proficient in defense.

The offensive and reconnaissance spells are ridiculously bad. That's why he is willing to hire me to live here at the expense of his residence, which can be regarded as making up for his shortcomings." After Cheese revealed the whole story in one sentence, Shan De didn't say much anymore.

To hide it, he simply revealed the small deal between himself and the Lord of Iron Castle.

By the way, he also disclosed the city lord's information to Cheese as a favor. In the eyes of the vampire, Cheese's spellcasting ability and exploration of mysteries were far superior to the Iron Castle City Lord. If the gray-robed mage planned to attack Iron Castle,

If the castle takes action, it will only be a matter of time before the city lord is discovered by others. Rather than being embarrassed by then, it is better to tell the cheese this information as a favor here. Anyway, his background has been exposed to everyone.

, handing over the city lord's trump card will not cause any loss to Shan De himself.

"Only defensive spells? I'm afraid they are the guardian war witches of the Duolon Council. I didn't expect that such an extreme spell inheritance could still be passed down to this day. It's really a lot of experience." Cheese whispered to himself. Although the world is at a disadvantage.

There are many ways to enter the door of mystery, but as the Lord of the Iron Castle in Sande's description only defends but does not attack, I am afraid that this is the only one in the vast history. So as soon as I heard this important clue,

The mage immediately thought of which system the city lord's spells were inherited from.

Seeing Cheese's thoughtful look, Xander knew that his information was valuable. This would give him more confidence to say what he said next.

"Although the city lord recruited him to make up for his shortcomings in attack, it is a pity that you know that our Black Blood family is only good at frontal combat. So when those enemies who don't know where they came from attacked the iron castle, I

Neither I nor he can do anything about it. Because of this, as soon as I felt your breath last night, I took you for granted as my enemy. Therefore, I am really sorry for offending you," the vampire said.

"It doesn't matter. The night is long and there are too many malicious people in the darkness. It's normal for you to think so. And since we have resolved the misunderstanding now, I don't need to hold on to this." In this regard,

Cheese didn't take it too seriously. For people walking in the dark world, it would be unreasonable to smile at the inhabitants of another dark world.

"Your generosity scares me." Seeing that Cheese had no intention of pursuing what he did last night, Xander quickly flattered him. Before even waiting for Cheese's request, the vampire said to Elsa

Sorry, from Sander's point of view, Elsa and the others are obviously the guards or followers around Cheese. Although the mage may not necessarily think highly of them, he can still win the favor of the boss by showing respect for them.

"Okay, put away your performance. You and I both know that the proud vampires will not be so cowardly. And compared to these, I have a more practical way for you to make up for your mistakes last night." Cheese said.

.

"If I can do it, I will definitely do it." Xander said.
