——4, 201, the last seed month, 28th, 15:00——
Treva was running in the shadows against the mountain wall.
Although he knew his name was "Treva", he wasn't sure which "Treva" it was, but at least it wasn't the idiot who was reduced to ashes.
After seizing Stareo's manor many years ago, the Treva thieves used it as their home base. After the death of old Treva, his sons and various relatives with the same surname Treva fell into disrepair due to uneven distribution of the spoils or There was a lot of conflict for some other reason, and everyone wanted to put the others to death. Therefore, when Silver Hand came to propose cooperation with "that power" two years ago, almost unanimous agreement was obtained.
"Becoming a vampire" is very simple, and there are no obvious disadvantages except "being hunted by guards when discovered" and "bloodthirsty", which are not painful at all for bandits, but it goes further. It is very difficult.
"Bloodline of the Vampire Lord", this is what those silver hands call "that power". If you can transform from an ordinary vampire to this bloodline, you don't have to fight with silver weapons that may hurt you at any time, but the whole There were only a few successful thieves, and they were all directly invited to the Silver Hand headquarters to carry out some big plan. The only ones left were the idiot who died during the raid of the comrades two days ago, and himself, whose bloodline evolved inexplicably during the battle.
Becoming a vampire and evolving into a "big king" will cause you to lose part of your memory. This is what the Silver Hand guys said beforehand, but Treva is still very annoyed that he can't remember who he is, and he plans to take advantage of those memories. When the wolf cubs of the Comrades searched the manor for information, they raided their headquarters in Xueman and killed all the reserves of the Comrades. But what would he say then?
——, Lord Treva killed you.
——Which Treva?
Just imagining this kind of conversation made him unsteady on his feet, and he was directly exposed to the sun without judging his footing. The burns and pain that followed made Treva stop.
Those damn silver hands obviously have reservations. They never said that the monarch form would be so afraid of the sun. After being irradiated for a moment, the wings began to turn black as if they were burned by fire. If they were exposed to the sun without any protection, If the sun shines on him, all his vampire abilities may be used to repair injuries, and by then his strength may not even be as good as that of ordinary people.
It was precisely for this reason that he did not go straight to Snowrun after escaping from the watchtower. He first hid in a prison where the Stormcloaks imprisoned heretics, hunting for food to restore their strength and transform them by the way. After these people were released It will obviously cause a scene and attract the attention of those nosy comrades.
Last night, he rushed to Xueman during the night and arrived at the tower where another bandit was entrenched before dawn. He repeated his same trick again. This time, the bandit's stronghold occupies some favorable terrain. As long as some roadblocks were set up, it would be enough to block the werewolves for a long time.
Cui Wa originally planned to wait here until night before setting off, but the family members released from the prison disappeared one by one very quickly. It was obvious that they had encountered a group of comrades. If he did not leave at this time, he would only be driven back to Xueman. They were blocked in this tower, so after giving the order to set up roadblocks and not allow anyone to pass, he forcibly rushed to Xueman during the day.
Silverhand's information was very well-informed, so he didn't need to go to them to report the news of the destruction of the sentry tower. Cui Va thought about the plan: starting from the outskirts of Snowrun City, he would turn those farmers and hired workers who didn't have much strength into ' Blood Slaves', and then let them attack Xueman City, then restore their original shape and sneak in while taking advantage of the chaos to transform more people in the city in the plain area, even newcomers to the Comrades Group. When the situation is out of control, those guys from the Comrades Group After having to reveal his identity as a werewolf, he took the opportunity to directly attack the lord.
Yes, Lord "The Great" Balgruuf, Silver Hand and those guys don't know what they are thinking. They seem to only plan to attack the comrades, but don't they know that sneaking into Snowrun and attacking Yuevaska will also arouse the anger of the Lord?
For the Treva thieves, Balgruuf, who defeated them to pieces and drove them out of Snowrun, is the primary enemy. Although there may only be a few people left now, and he has also forgotten his name. But just don’t forget your hatred for Balgruuf.
"Ha...have all the low-level vampires in the tower been wiped out? But it doesn't matter. Even if you start running with all your strength now, it will be too late." Cui Wa hid behind a boulder to avoid the sun, watching with dark yellow eyes. There are several farms nearby and the Snowman City built on a towering cliff to the south.

"I will help you repair the carriage, Mr. Clown. Now, can you please leave my house?" Wantus said to the person in front of him while holding back his anger.
Ventus Laurieus, the farmer of Laurelius Farm, because his farm grows crops that like cold and dry conditions, he did not mix with the farms on both sides of the White River in the south and made appointments with a few Farmers who planted the same crops settled together in a place north of Xueman, near the foot of the Snow Mountain.
Although this location is still within the monitoring range of the White Watch Tower, if something happens, the tower's sentinels will not be able to catch up. In the end, the guard captain arranged a patrol route for the guards specifically for these farms.
A few hours ago, the wheel of a freight carriage broke near the farm. The driver was the guy in front of him who dressed up as a clown and called himself Cicero (ir). He came to the farm and took out dozens of gold coins and asked for help to repair the carriage. , which is a good income for Wantus who has no farm work to do at this time.
But the problem is, this guy doesn't seem to be normal.
The red hair stood up strangely, and his face was as pale as a layer of flour. There were patterns of water droplets and stars under his slender eyes, and his tongue would stick out to lick his lips from time to time.
"That won't work~ (Diamond)" Cicero said in a strange tone: "Mother asked Cicero to follow you until the carriage is repaired~ (Spade)"
Damn it! Vantus almost threw the car repair tools he was packing at him. What kind of monster would make patterns pop up in the listener's head when he spoke.
As for that "mother", according to him, it was in the huge wooden box on the carriage. No matter how you thought about it, she couldn't be the clown's real mother. She was probably a totem of some strange religion.
"Well, Mr. Cicero, doesn't it matter if you leave your mother's coffin outside like that? Why don't we go and look at it first?" Cove Laurelius, Ventus' wife, asked softly.
"Haha~ Thank you for your concern~ (Heart) It's just that the coffin is very strong~ It doesn't need special care~ (Plum)" Cicero raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at her.
This is the second thing that disgusts Ventus about Cicero. Even if he wears weird clown makeup and ridiculous clown costumes, he still cannot conceal his handsome appearance.
"Hmph! Get ready, let's go repair your carriage right now!" Vantus picked up the toolbox and strode out the door. He had to get rid of this clown as soon as possible, otherwise his position as the head of the family would be shaken. .
"[Jie——!]" As soon as he walked out of the house, Wantus saw a humanoid monster with ugly wings, green body, and black smoke coming towards him with a big mouth full of fangs. Come.
"Damn it." Vantus blurted out before he could react.
"That's not possible~ (square)" "Crack!"
The monster's powerful bite completely shattered the toolbox held in Vantus' hand, but he himself flew back into the house under the pull of some inexplicable force behind him.
"Although it feels strange to ask Cicero to save people~ (Heart), it is mother's request after all~ (Heart)" Cicero threw the shocked Vantus to Cove and walked outside: "It seems It’s a good prey~(Spade)”
"[bluff——]" The green monster hid under the big tree where he was hiding before, staring at Cicero with eyes that glowed with dark yellow light: "[giggle——]"
"Hmm~ You can't talk~ (square)" Cicero opened his hands, holding between his fingers a square card with no pattern and a faint purple light on the outside. Then he waved his arm, They roared and flew towards the green monster.
"[Roar!]" The green monster struck down those cards with its claws, and they disappeared the moment they landed. Just when it was about to challenge Cicero, it found that the other party had already rushed in front of him, holding the same card between his fingers. A card was drawn towards its throat.
Cracking - the card left a bloody gash on the green monster's neck, but at the same time it also flew into the air, each claw holding a ball of magic energy ready to go.
"[Your life energy will become my nourishment!]" the green monster said, while dropping the red magic ball in his hand.
"Oh~ can't this talk~ (square)" Cicero turned his head and looked at the Ventus couple who were watching the battle timidly in the house, then raised his hand and closed their door from a distance.
Boom - squeak - the red magic ball exploded instantly after it hit the ground. The crops within its range instantly withered, turning into a dark red energy and flowing into the green monster's body, and the wound on its neck healed instantly.
"Oh, oh, oh, this is really inefficient~ (Spade)" Cicero escaped from the area of influence before the explosion, and was now commenting on the monster in the air.
"[You are an accident~]" the monster said, "[But unless you can fly, you can't stop my revenge on Xueman!]"
"Cicero is not interested in your 'revenge'~ (Plum Blossom) just wants to-" Before Cicero could finish his words, the figure had already arrived in front of the green monster in the air at a speed that the other party could not react at all: " Just kill you~ (square)"
laugh--!
When Ventus opened the door tremblingly, he saw only a black corpse that was about to burn out in the air, and the unharmed clown Cicero who fell in front of him.
"You'd better find some more tools~ (Hearts)" Cicero said: "Cicero and his mother are in a hurry~ (Spades)"
