Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 45 45. Hunting Vampires (2)

Due to the successive disappearances, families with underage daughters in the villages near the city of Karilia became panicked.

Those who still insist on going out to farm and herd sheep, not to mention girls, even boys who have not grown beards have become rare.There is even a pitiful scene where an old man who is over seventy years old still holds a shepherd's staff and walks tremblingly on the meadow.

Although it is traditionally believed that vampires act at night, judging from the descriptions of several known disappearance cases, he or they should be hiding in the shadows where the sun can't reach during the day, secretly locking the worthy target.

Only in this way can we ensure that we can seize the moment when the day has just ended and the night is quietly approaching, and we can quickly attack the girls on their way home in a hurry.

As the bait, Emma changed into the shepherdess' clothes in the village early in the morning, drove the borrowed sheep around, and played her role well.

Having said that, the "fake shepherdess" matter has no pressure on Emma, ​​which may be one of the reasons why Ms. Ruiwen has "smart eyes".Although she was not from a farming family, she has been in the village since she was a child, and is familiar with every detail of manipulating the flock.

She had to do a full set of plays, and she absolutely couldn't use magic to control the sheep, and she put the magic wand in the spice box at her waist.

Sitting on the grass and watching the sheep grazing, Emma, ​​who had nothing to do, began to be in a daze and let go, and at some point even had the illusion that "she is really an ordinary shepherdess".

"You're kind of cute when you're not wearing your apprentice burqa."

It was Cass who spoke, and to make the appearance of the shepherdess more convincing, he was now playing the role of "brother who guards his sister", wearing a ginger shirt, a black waistcoat, and a half-worn peaked cap.

The stubble shaved all over his face, making him look much younger.Although the short black hair was still messy, the faint scent of freshly washed clothes exuded from his whole body, which could barely be considered refreshing.

"Shut up, stay away from me, yes, keep a distance of five meters."

Emma was very wary, and directed Cass to move with her hands in disgust.He rubbed his butt on the grass, leaving some green grass juice on his pants.

"Tsk, I take back the lovely statement."

"Take it back, take it back, I didn't intend to accept it."

Although she quickly accepted the two's identities and understood that it fits the actual situation in the suburbs of Calilia, Emma was very resistant to being alone with this adjutant.

Why can't it be Lawrence who came to disguise... No... Emma quickly dismissed the idea... How could that person pretend to be a country youth?No matter what clothes he puts on, he will look like a nobleman.

Look at this sloppy adjutant again, he is naturally picking a weed in his mouth and chewing it in his mouth at this moment, and the neckline is even more open.He is perfectly integrated into this wilderness scene, and even the scars on his face can be reasonably explained as "unfortunately scratched in the process of fighting with wild wolves for a lamb"...

"I said...were you born in a farm family?"

Emma couldn't help asking, it's because I'm too free to chat with the sheep.

"No, I am the son of a mercenary. I was thrown into the mercenary team from birth and grew up drinking goat's and horse's milk."

"horse?"

Emma frowned, not very convinced.Cass' tone didn't sound very serious.

"Where's your mother? Also a mercenary?"

"That's not true, I haven't seen it. Although my father didn't say it, I suspect that she should... come from a certain Mingshu Street. In short, even a village girl who doesn't have enough to eat shouldn't leave herself without food." The weaned son was thrown into the mercenary team."

It's over...how can we continue talking today.Emma now extremely regrets starting this topic.

"What about you? You must be a village girl, right?" Cass laughed loudly, "You must have been born in a very remote small village because you are so tough. There are a group of older brothers and younger brothers who support you at home."

"...Yes, you guessed it right."

Emma didn't bother to explain, but was relieved by his nonchalant attitude.

"Hey, are you hungry?" Cass asked.

Emma looked up at the sky, judging by the position of the sun, it should be just after noon.During the non-combat period, the Silver Falcon Army should have three meals on time. It is normal for this strong man to be hungry.

"Be patient, the shepherds eat two meals a day, and at most they can bring half a piece of bread with them at noon. We didn't prepare any bread today."

"How about I go get you something to eat?"

"What? It doesn't look like there are wild fruits around here."

The meadow where the two were sitting was located on a hill, and as far as the eye could see, there were only a few shrubs half the height of a person without the grass.There is not even a decent tree, let alone edible fruit.

"Just say whether you want to eat it or not! Damn girl!"

"Eat! Dirty things! Who is afraid of whom!"

Emma didn't know why she was particularly easily irritated by Cass. In front of him, she easily became irritable and full of unrealistic desire to win.

They should be regarded as not pleasing to each other.

From a certain point of view, this is also a very positive relationship, very healthy and without psychological burden.It is almost comparable to the love that goes to each other.

Emma sincerely hopes at this time that all likes and dislikes can find a tacit understanding with each other.

Cass raised his eyebrows and smiled wickedly.From his vest pocket he took a pair of... slingshots.

"How can you have such a child's thing?"

"Never mind! Just wait."

After speaking, Cass stood up and patted his butt, and then began to look around for stones that could be used as "bullets".After a while, he gathered his pockets and fell there bulging.

He didn't go far either, and kept searching for prey within Emma's line of sight.Judging from the smaller figure, he should be a little excited when jumping up and down, as if he rarely has the chance to hunt like this mischievously.

Looking at his monkey-like appearance, Emma began to worry about the birds on the meadow.Even if she had to go hungry all day, she hoped that Cass would get nothing.

Not long after, I saw the monkey come back dancing and waving its prey.

It has dark brown fluff and looks almost like a field mouse.Emma recognized the three prairie lemmings, and he must have found the lemming's cave.

This kind of thing has a strong reproductive ability. A litter can produce more than ten offspring, and it can give birth many times a year. If it is not killed, it will easily become a disaster and damage crops.So most of the farm boys are good at killing lemmings with slingshots since they were young.

Fortunately, lemmings have a very strange habit. From time to time, they will go together and rush to the northwest coast. The team gradually expands to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and then rushes to the sea to "suicide" and die.

It is also because of this special habit that people can coexist with lemmings without dying forever.

"Huh? Awesome! Let's bake it." Emma pretended to applaud excitedly.

"You... aren't afraid of this?"

"Crazy? Why am I afraid of such a small animal? It's not a scary magical creature."

Cass seemed very disappointed, and grumbled and stuffed the lemmings to Emma, ​​then began to pull weeds to make a small open space, and then surrounded it tightly with stones.

In fact, if you think about it with your toes, you should know that neither a village girl nor a witch apprentice can be considered as those spoiled girls in the city.

He had the intention of scaring Emma with lemmings, so he was destined to suffer a lot.

Taking flint from the other pocket of the vest, Cass lit a fire with dry grass and twigs inside the stone circle.Taking advantage of this gap, Emma deftly cleaned out the internal organs of the lemming with a dagger and skinned it, spread out the meat and strung it up with two twigs.

This dagger is also part of the "full set of acting", which is used for "self-defense".I didn't expect it to come in handy.

There was no stream nearby, so Emma washed her hands with a small amount of water from the portable water bottle, not minding the smell of blood.

"What if there is no seasoning?"

That seemed to be her only concern.

"Tsk!" Cass rolled his eyes, then threw a small cloth bag to her.Inside is some coarse salt.
