"Click, click, click."

As the winch rotates, the fence gate made of thick iron slowly rises.

Jiang Xiaotan was sitting in a prison car surrounded by iron cages. The prison car was covered with black cloth. He stared blankly outside through the gap in the curtain, watching the city gate that made a harsh noise rise to the top.

After the door opened, the prison car drove through the dirty road splattered with muddy water and entered the door. After passing through the dark corridor, Jiang Xiaotan saw the lifeless interior.

There are relatively neat rows of wooden houses on the street, but most of them are in tatters, and some are even rotted into wooden frames with ventilation on all sides. The roads that have been in disrepair are full of mud pits, and scattered sacks and rotten wooden barrels are scattered randomly.

Put it on the street, piled with garbage.

At first, there were still a few women and children on the street, but when they saw a group of people who had just entered the city with prisoners carrying swords on their backs, they all immediately hid in the house, with only a few bold old women peeking through the window cracks.

, looked at Jiang with a sad look and talked about them.

Now there are only a few bewildered idlers left on the streets, as well as beggars whose bodies exude a rancid smell, sitting half-dead in the muddy water.

Jiang Xiaotan still couldn't believe it when he saw this scene:

"This is the city of Constantine?"

The person who was in the same prison car with him grinned, showing his white teeth: "Yes, welcome to the former capital of Zhuye, now the first trading pearl of the Eastern Continent."

Jiang Xiaotan laughed awkwardly in agreement, but rolled his eyes in his heart.

He didn't actually know this person, but because they were caught in the same cage, they became brothers in distress.

Along the way, the troubled brother kept talking about the destination of the trip, "The Capital of Zhuye" and "Pearl of Trade". These words gave Jiang Xiaotan countless fantasies. The city of Constantine in his mind should be similar to

In a grand city like Silvermoon City or King's Landing.

However, reality shattered his fantasy.

"What do these people want to do by bringing us here?"

"Most likely he will be punished with a daily sentence."

"Daily punishment? What kind of punishment is this? Is it daily... uh..."

"Don't think so wildly, I'm just going to let you bask in the sun until you die."

"Can this kill me in the sun?"

"What do you think?"

Brother Nan gave Jiang Xiaotan a meaningful look.

His eyes glowed with an ominous red light, and Jiang Xiaotan swallowed.

If, as this troubled brother said, he is also a vampire, most likely, he will burn up when exposed to the sun.

"Why aren't you panicking at all?"

"Why are you panicking? I have lived for two hundred years and eaten countless people. I am ready to turn into dust to nourish Lady Lilith."

The vampire brother then said something strange and similar to a prayer, which made Jiang Xiaotan's head spin.

"Then we can't escape? Will you turn into a bat or black mist or something?"

"Hahaha, I'm just a low-level vampire without a knighthood. How can I know such powerful spells?"

"Is there no other way?"

Seeing that Jiang Xiaotan was still anxious, Brother Nan showed disdain in his eyes.

"Boy, listen carefully, we are a vampire, there is absolutely no way to survive if we fall into the hands of humans. Similarly, if humans fall into our hands, they will only be eaten."

He patted Jiang Xiaotan's shoulders with both hands, then pressed hard, and continued: "Don't be afraid, don't embarrass your family."

Jiang Xiaotan was speechless. What does the vampire family have to do with him?

He was originally a good young man from Blue Star, but when he woke up after sleeping, he found himself in a strange vampire gathering, and was captured by a vampire hunter inexplicably.

Moreover, he still couldn't believe that he had become a vampire.

However, it is not difficult to prove it.

He was cruel and secretly put his hand out of the cage.

The sun shines warmly on the palms of my hands without any discomfort.

"It's not even burning."

"You have 'holy oil' on your hands, right?"

"What 'sacred oil'?"

"The holy oil that can block sunlight and protect the vampires! You really don't understand anything."

After Jiang Xiaotan heard this, he looked carefully at his hands. It seemed that there was indeed a layer of grease protecting him, but it didn't seem to be there at all.

He was about to say something else, but the prison van suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a vampire hunter holding a silver sword opened the prison van and drove Jiang Xiaotan and Brother Nan out.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw a woman getting off the prison car next to me, screaming and rolling on the ground, and then her body burst into flames.

"This one probably hasn't been anointed with holy oil." Brother Nan whispered beside Jiang Xiaotan.

"Stop talking and leave quickly!" The hunter hit Brother Nan on the back of the head with the hilt of his sword and drove the two of them away.

A group of prisoners were driven onto a large shelf in this way. No matter the prisoners or the hunters, no one cared about the female vampire who was screaming and burning on the ground.

Jiang Xiaotan didn't dare to go and see it. He was worried that if he lost the "holy oil", he would end up like her.

A hunter tied him to a wooden stake on a large frame. Seven or eight such wooden stakes were erected, and now they were all tied to the men and women who got off the prison car.

This seems to be a small square, surrounded by people watching the excitement.

In addition to humans, there were also a few scaly lizard men in the crowd, orcs with cat faces, and winged men with long beaks.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Xiaotan had the real feeling of being in a different world for the first time.

It's a pity that as soon as he crossed over, he was tied to the execution ground and was going to be exposed to the sun...no, exposed to death.

This other world is not worthy of blessings.

Not pretty at all!

While he was in a trance, a man wearing robes that looked like a clergyman walked up to the shelf.

This guy with bald Mediterranean hair muttered something to Jiang Xiao about them, and then suddenly shouted: "Please ask the great God to grant heavenly punishment to the bloodthirsty devil!"

Then the crowd started to get excited.

"Burn the devil!"

"Curse!"

"Death to vampires!"

It really feels like medieval fools watching a witch trial.

Brother Nan, who was tied next to him, suddenly shouted: "Follow your evil god and die! You bunch of domestic animals!"

Before he finished speaking, a hunter standing behind him drew out his silver sword and inserted it directly into his neck.

Brother Nan, whose neck was pierced, had his throat trembling, and he couldn't make any sound "ho" or "ho". Then the skin near the wound turned black. He didn't struggle for a few times, but the silver poison spread all over his body, and then he fell again.

It didn't move either.

Jiang Xiaotan watched in horror as the troubled brother who had just been joking with him turned into a corpse. Now he truly felt the terror of death.

The Mediterranean priest ignored this episode, continued to mutter a few words, and then shouted: "Get holy water! Prepare for execution!"

The hunters listened to his words and brought in several large wooden barrels filled with seemingly ordinary water.

"Execution!"

After the priest finished speaking, several buckets of water were poured on Jiang Xiaotan's heads.

The prisoner next to him who had been doused with holy water had something like oil dripping from his body, and then started to burn.

But nothing happened to Jiang Xiaotan. He looked confused, and the "holy water" flowed into his mouth from the corner of his mouth, which was salty.

Seeing this situation, the crowd became commotion again.

"Why didn't the vampire burn?"

Jiang Xiaotan also came to his senses.

What have I been afraid of! I have been a person in Blue Star for more than 20 years, how could I suddenly become a ghost?

"I'm not a vampire!" he shouted.

The hunter behind him raised his silver sword when he heard the shout, but hesitated and did not stab it.

"You have arrested the wrong person, I am not a vampire!"

At this time, several vampires around him had been burned to ashes, leaving Jiang Xiaotan alone and tied to a wooden stake.

Mediterranean also noticed this embarrassing scene. He took out the cross from his arms, held it in his hand and slowly approached Jiang Xiaotan.

"Devil, don't deceive people."
