Dean didn’t speak and turned to walk forward.
Another question is: Who am I?
Who am I? I am the prince of the Elf Clan, and the future Elf King.
But why do I want to ask, who am I?
At the city gate, Tianmiao and Dean stood waiting for Xia Chuanyue and Camille. Here, they could hear the wind swishing through the nearly deserted streets.
Quickly, Camille, holding a green leaf, arrived with a panting Xia Chuanyue.
"You found something, didn’t you?" Camille asked Dean after stopping.
"Yes. Since neither of you is of the Light Element, you didn’t notice," Dean explained, "there’s a dark aura, a repulsive aura, follow me."
"Wow, Dean, you’re amazing." Camille stepped forward, placing a hand on Dean’s shoulder, "As expected of my best friend Camille, you found the problem so quickly."
"Are you complimenting Dean or yourself?" Xia Chuanyue said with a laugh.
"Both, both." Camille chuckled.
"Let’s go have a look at what the problem is." Xia Chuanyue put away his smile, speaking seriously.
"Yes, let’s go." Camille also put away his smile and, after steadying himself, saw the golden light ahead, "Is that the Guardian Array?"
"It should be." Xia Chuanyue nodded.
The golden light emanating not far outside the city was the Guardian Magic Array, a masterpiece of the tutors at Dawn Academy back then. They built magic arrays to block monsters around almost every city, to minimize human deaths. Of course, the cost of constructing these magic arrays depended on the size of each town, and the one in front of them was quite luxurious, a feat only the large trade-dependent city of Xiude could afford.
After some testing, the array was functioning normally, so an ordinary vampire trying to enter the city would almost get skinned alive, let alone harm people in broad daylight.
"This way. That stench that disgusts me." Dean looked forward, frowning.
As Dean led the way, the closer they got, the darker his expression became. Evidently, the aura he despised was getting stronger.
They walked for a long time, while Xia Chuanyue and the others trudged on foot, Tianmiao was already lying on the back of a giant white cat, letting it carry him. He lay entirely on the cat’s back, burying his face in the soft fur, thoroughly enjoying it.
Xia Chuanyue enviously glanced at the big white cat, secretly wishing to find a fluffy, well-behaved mount like this for himself in the future.
When Dean stopped walking, it was already evening. Ahead of them loomed a large house, with wind chimes hanging at the door and a few flags inserted, and from afar they could hear the music and clinking of glasses inside.
However, what’s peculiar is that behind this house, there seemed to be a public cemetery.
Having a party in front of a cemetery isn’t normal, is it?
Who are the people inside this house enjoying themselves?
After exchanging glances, they decided to go in and have a look.
When the four of them pushed the door open, they found the place empty.
"Huh? Why is there no one?" Camille was a bit surprised, having expected to see the place packed upon entering.
Dean had already readied his bow and arrow.
"Where are the people?" Xia Chuanyue whispered, but his heart was on guard.
The table was scattered with wine glasses, bottles, and various desserts, even a cigarette resting on an ashtray was still burning.
It seemed that the instant they pushed the door open, everyone vanished from the bar.
