Chapter 92: The Anti-Undead Town
The castle of The Mirage Demon King. It seems to be on top of the mountain, just like Rainel’s castle. Most Demon Kings have many enemies. They’re usually on hostile terms with not just humans, but also other Demon Kings. When you become the hated Undead Demon King, you make every living being into your enemies. It’s natural that this Demon King would build a castle on top of the mountain that would be easier to protect. He perished though.
The MirageDemon King and his retainers were all annihilated by the Order of Death Knights of that generation and all that was left was a sturdy castle. The Order of Death Knights tried to destroy the castle, but apparently, the nobles who supported them in subjugation of the Demon King at that time stopped them. Back then, the area around the castle was controlled by the monsters, so losing the sturdy castle that was already there must’ve been a pity.
In fact, the nobles from that time made good use of the Mirage Demon King’s castle, settled the surrounding area and established their country. After that, the inconvenient castle was abandoned, but it wasn’t destroyed. That’s the reason why the castle of the Mirage Demon King is still standing even after hundreds of years.
Now, the old castle is known as the symbol of humanity’s victory.
I love traveling. I won’t be disappointed even if we don’t find anything.
A few days after carrying Senri on my back, we reached a nearby town without any incident. Throughout our journey, nobody suspected us. Looks like this country that was at the front lines until hundreds of years ago has become known as a fairly safe country now.
I’m put in the suitcase and we enter the town. I lay quietly in the bag where sunlight doesn’t reach. I lose strength all at once. We’re approaching flowing water. I hear the sound of water flowing. The fact that it makes sound means that this town has perfect countermeasures against vampires.
Most towns use flowing water as a countermeasure against vampires, but the extent of it depends on each town. For example, the countermeasures of Romberg, which was under Rainel’s onslaught, were almost perfect, as they were surrounded by deep canals. But this town also feels like one of the top-class strongest out of all the towns I’ve visited.
In peaceful towns, measures against vampires tend to not be taken seriously, but this place seems different.
