Things are obviously not that simple. As the patron saint of the village, the man has always done his duty. Even if the child seems innocent, he still has to figure things out.
Just in front of the red lacquered and carved chair where he sat, there was a square table with the same vermilion lacquer and carved patterns, with an oval bronze mirror fixed on it. His face could only be vaguely reflected on the bronze mirror, and his facial features could not be clearly seen.
The wardrobe in the room obviously has a full-length grooming mirror, but the man still prepared such a useless bronze mirror on the table. This can only show that the mirror has other uses.
The man looked at the mirror in front of him and muttered something. After a while, the blurry image of the man's face on the mirror became clear. What was shown on it was another man's face, with a gloomy and paralyzed expression, which was different from his serious and upright look.
After seeing the man's face appear in the mirror, the man said directly: "Help me connect with my superior."
"reason?"
"A new demon clan may have appeared in the forbidden area of the black forest outside the village. We cannot rule out the possibility that it is the demon god clan!"
"Demon clan?" Hearing the man's request, the face of the man who appeared in the bronze mirror twitched. The demon clan was much more powerful than the demon clan. It was in ancient times. It was said that some demon clan grew into demon gods. After that, the demon gods
The descendants inherit the powerful bloodline and are called the Demon God Clan. However, this thing usually only appears when there is a race war and is generally not seen.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The man said with gloomy eyes and a dull voice.
The man's face disappeared, the mirror became blurry again, and within a moment, another face actually appeared.
"Sir." The man at the table sat upright, and after sorting out his words, he reported what happened tonight.
"So what you're saying is that a new kind of demon is likely to appear in the forest near your village, and can it easily kill the Minotaur?"
"Yes, the Minotaur's skin is so hard that ordinary demons cannot bite through it. The powerful demons in the area have been cleared out by the adults, so I suspect that the demons are involved."
"Your suspicion is not unreasonable, but I am more concerned about the child. Since you said that the child's head was near the bite marks when you found him, the possibility of being bitten by that child is not small. Are you sure he is not a demon?
In disguise?"
The man in the mirror pondered for two seconds, then said seriously: "You should find an opportunity to send him to the town, and let me use the equipment to check it myself, instead of letting it go just because his family blocked it. You have every right to take him away directly.
If someone stops him, he can kill the chicken to scare the monkeys if necessary!"
"Yes, I understand." The man nodded solemnly to the mirror.
When the picture in the mirror disappeared, the man sighed coldly: "Are you trying to scare the monkeys? This is my hometown, I can't do that."
…
After the guard captain left, the atmosphere in the room on the second floor of the wooden house was a little quiet.
The five people present stood around Rosen's bed, hesitating to speak.
Rosen's identity is very special. Some people present already knew about it, while others had suspected it, but they just didn't take it lightly.
To them, Rosen is just a child or a partner.
"Eileen, there is something that has always puzzled me. This child's teeth..." Zeno suddenly broke the silence and said.
"It's actually nothing. It was like this when I adopted him from the orphanage. The dean said that this is a rare mutation, and his parents didn't want him because of this." Irene pinched.
Zeno's arm, whispered.
Rosen heard clearly what Irene said to Zeno. He had confirmed that his predecessor was not a human, but a vampire. In this case, the director of the orphanage when he was a child might have lied. Maybe the director knew where he came from.
?
This is a clue to finding one's own identity, but it is not the important thing to do right now.
"Whether Rosen is a monster or not, I regard him as my brother. If he is a monster, if I read correctly, he was the one who saved me at that time," Johnson said.
Children aged 12 or 13 don't have any bad intentions. Their principle is usually to be nice to anyone who is nice to them. Moreover, Rosen also knows that Johnson's character is more loyal, which shows that he is worthy of saving people.
.
"Rosen, are you hungry? I'll prepare a supper for you?" Erin suddenly remembered something and went downstairs to the kitchen before Rosen could answer.
The village is not safe at night. Occasionally, unknown beasts will roar in the village. Only the guards can drive away those monsters. Ordinary villagers will be in danger even if they stay at the door.
Affected by his predecessor's emotions, Rosen was a little worried that Irene was cooking in the kitchen. Johnson was taken away from the kitchen window. The window was still broken. Moreover, when Irene was cooking in the kitchen, the sound and smell of the food would be affected.
Expose her location.
"The kitchen is not very safe. Uncle Zeno should go check on Irene." Rosen sat up from the bed. His condition has almost recovered, but he is still very weak. At least he will not be able to defeat the Minotaur if it appears again, even if it enters
In the vampire state, he can't even do it with his energy and blood.
His stomach growled, and Zeno smiled obscenely when he saw this: "You must be hungry, I'll go help your Aunt Irene."
Zeno said and went down the stairs. He was relatively tall and the wooden ladder at home could not bear it, so he let out a mournful sound.
This wooden ladder can be pushed down once a monster enters the first floor to prevent the monster from harming the children on the second floor, so the installation is very unstable.
In the memory that Rosen recovered, there was one time when Irene found a Minotaur lingering in the house and suspected the possibility of entering the house. At that time, Irene had the courage to drive the children away.
After the second floor, I pushed down the wooden ladder by myself, grabbed the broom and waited for the Minotaur to break in on the first floor, preparing to buy some time for the children.
But then Zeno next door realized something bad was going on, so he sneaked out the back door to find the patrolling escorts, and drove away the Minotaur, thereby averting possible tragedy.
Before that, the original impression of Zeno was purely that of a wretched uncle. It is said that Zeno was dumped by a girl when he was young. Later, he was caught spying on girls taking a bath in a village public bathhouse and was almost beaten.
He was beaten to death, and since then the public bathhouse has been demolished. If anyone asks, the usual answer is that there was a wretched uncle Zeno in the village.
Later, Zeno got entangled with Irene, who had been single for a long time, which made Irene have to be criticized for a long time. At first Irene was not happy to be entangled with such a plague, but Irene was a single aunt,
Without the protection of a man, Zeno really couldn't be driven away.
During that time, Ada often used her bad words to greet Zeno, but Zeno's shamelessness blocked them every time.
It was after Zeno took an adventure and found a guard to drive away the Minotaur that the children really valued his role. Yes, Irene was alone, and it was not easy to take care of these children. She needed someone
Help, and although Zeno looks wretched, he can still be regarded as a protective umbrella.
This is the original cognition.
But in Rosen's view, Zeno is still a wretched man.
Thinking like this, Rosen was worried that he was giving him a chance by asking Zeno to look after Aunt Irene just now. After all, it was all in vain, and Zeno was an old pervert, so how could he not be worried?
"Gululu..."
Rosen's stomach just happened to growl again, and he glanced at the three people playing tarot cards at the broken table beside the bed on the second floor.
The whole house was almost full of old things, except for the shuffled tarot cards on the table, which were brand new. It was a gift from Zeno to Jenny on her birthday. Zeno was stingy and almost
I never gave any gifts to the children, but once I gave Jenny this deck of tarot cards.
Although I don’t like Zeno, I have to say that Jenny cherishes this deck of tarot cards very much and takes good care of it. In other words, everything about Jenny will be tidied by herself, whether it is the bed.
, or her usual supplies.
At this time, Jenny was using the reshuffled tarot cards to divine fortunes for Johnson and Ada. The three people there almost didn't notice Rosen, and they didn't know that Rosen had already gotten up and quietly went downstairs along the wooden stairs.
.
The first floor fell into darkness, and the candlelight on the second floor quickly receded from Rosen's face. Rosen could guarantee that in this invisible environment, he could completely scare Irene and Zeno if he wanted to.
Of course, it's hard to say whether this was necessary. Anyway, he went downstairs mainly because he wanted to eat some midnight snacks made by Irene to satisfy his hunger and replenish the lost blood. On the other hand, he was also worried that Irene would be poisoned by Zeno, an old pervert.
