Chapter 37: “Great Location, 5 Minutes from the Cemetery! But Kinda Deserted.”
After traveling for a bit, right about when she could still make it back to the castle if she ran should the sun begin to rise, Blanc found a neglected cemetery. A little further ahead she could see what looked like a town, but seeing that it was completely dark, it had probably been deserted. All the residents must have moved somewhere else.
“Well, there are tons of zombies and stuff around, so it must’ve been tough living here…”
The cemetery was filled with zombies and skeletons, so the deserted town was probably in a similar state. Blanc started thinking it was about time she turned back.
“Not like I’m thinking ‘I gotta tame something today’ or anything… At worst, I thought nabbing a skeleton would be good enough.”
If she were going to [Subordinate] a skeleton, she was curious about how it might compare to when the count did it to her. If it simply turned into a Squire Zombie, she would wonder why it turned out different from her. Maybe it was because she knew six different elements of magic, or because her INT was high. Was one of them the condition for Revenant, or maybe did both things fulfill the requirements for Lesser Vampire? But since she couldn’t raise a skeleton’s INT or teach it magic before she tamed it, there wasn’t an easy way to experiment. She’d need to find some way for it to reincarnate after being tamed.
“The count said that after he tamed me and I became a vampire, it did seem like he could control me, so let’s ask him later.”
That being the case, then she might as well check out what was in the cemetery. Unlike out in the wild, the cemetery appeared to also have living monsters along with the undead. Like these bats that were attacking her.
“Wagh, that scared me!”
A bunch of bats swarmed her. She didn’t know what they wanted; probably food. If they happened to be vampire bats, then they must’ve wanted to dine on the blood of a vampire, e.g. Blanc’s.
