Chapter 1083 – Ancient Vampires

It literally felt like a dream.

In dreams, there is no regularity and no reality, so everything is ambiguous. Awareness is also lowered, so when you are in a dream, you think it is reality and just take it as natural, but suddenly realize that it is wrong and recognize the dream.

I felt as if I had inflated the feeling of incongruity 500 times that I felt at the moment when I recognized the dream as a dream.

I came into some kind of barrier, but there is some kind of golden wheat field and a nice old castle. The sky is ominously blue, and even some crazy farmers are waving their greetings.

As if it had been a lie that she had just been in unexplored territory.

Is it real?

However, it was a landscape that seemed so natural even though it was uncomfortable. However, with this well-established naturalness, I am definitely a man who can be said to be unnatural.

Could it be magic?

Thoughts from the maddening suspiciousness awake all sorts of speculations and stir them up. This isn’t a dream, it’s reality. There was a possibility that these things in the barrier were illusions created by Mana, but my superhuman senses told me that all of this was real.

The feeling of the wheat swaying from the air touching my body. And everything from the beating sun to the temperature you feel.

This wasn’t fantasy, it was reality.

Could it be that this barrier is another world?

Did the ancient Vampire Lord Koltrahen, awakened from the seal, secretly set up a barrier and live in hiding here? So what the hell are those farmers… Human beings being exploited by him? Was this not just a wheat field, but a cruel plantation created by evil vampires?

ㅡsugar cane field

By the way.

Why do those farmers look so calm?

ㅡaaaaa!!!
ㅡ aaaaa!!
ㅡKyaaaaa!!

What I hear in my ears are the cries of innocent black people who were kidnapped and sold as slaves by evil white imperialists in the days of imperialism.

Exploitation is like this.

If they are being exploited by the Vampire Lord who has awakened from the seal… There is no way they can be that peaceful. Or, there is a possibility that he has been brainwashed or under illusion.

— Hurray.

Using the power of fusion Confucianism, we look at the world again.

“…”

It was a clear reality.

“Are those people right…!”
“A person who lives in a barrier…”

Hilde clung right next to me and said in a terrified voice, and Liz Tina didn’t know what she was talking about, so she said that. They, too, were in a state of incongruity.

“I don’t know either. What the fuck is this guy’s sense of incongruity… I know it’s real, but I can’t get rid of the thought that it’s like a dream.”
“So do I! And those farmers…! They’re so suspicious! How could a person be in a barrier like this!”

Hilde was almost trembling. As usual, she’s not babbling, she’s genuinely on guard.

“…They look like people.”

Karin, too, gave off an atmosphere that she would cut them all down if necessary, while observing the peasants approaching her.

“Huh… It’s not like other races.”
“Yes. I’m not sure, but it seems like a person.”

Cloudy and Ari’s words.

Everyone is trying to analyze this situation in their own way.

Okay.

There is no such thing as being confused. I just analyze the situation and make a cool judgment. All you have to do is remember the major premise that this is an unknown world unfolding within the barrier.

“Could it be some kind of trap? What do you think?”
“Well… I’m not sure about this either. First of all, the information is lacking. Let’s look into it a little more.”

I answered Karin’s question while looking at the approaching farmers. Although they look human, they can be just as dangerous as they are suspicious. Maybe a vampire

“Seeing that there is a barrier of this level… It seems certain that there is an existence with powerful magical abilities. It can be said that the possibility that the Vampire Lord has been released is high.”

Risha, who was constantly looking at the air, seemed to be more concerned about the barriers than the farmers.

“Lisha? What exactly is this barrier like?”
“First of all, it doesn’t seem like a genjutsu system. The things here are definitely the ones that exist. Maybe part of the dimension… Can be said to have been separated, but… Research will be needed. “

That’s right.

“Anyway, there’s a high probability that the vampire lord has awakened. That bastard created this space. Isn’t that fucking dangerous?”
“Yes. Winia-sama is right. I don’t know much about it, but if you see that it’s a barrier like this, it’s not an ordinary existence. First of all, it’s dangerous… Go out for a while and check the situation.”

Winia and Ari warned of danger.

The sea, of course.

“Let’s check first. It’s okay. With this much work.”

A little embarrassed, but not afraid at all.
First of all, check

There is no problem even if you start with scouting and then go out and figure out the situation.

“Don’t worry too much. I’m here.”

There’s nothing I can’t do.

“Okay…”
“If it’s okay with my father, I won’t say anything else.”

I patted them on the shoulder.

ㅡ…

Soon, the farmers approached at close range.

“Kat. What should I do?”
“Wait here.”

I put the bugal in and went towards the peasants.

“First of all, I’m waving my hand like that, so let’s say hello.”
“Yes. Ask me something.”
“Kat-sama, be careful…! It might be a monster pretending to be human!”
“Okay okay.”

So I left them behind and approached the peasants. In a state where the blade of the heart was abandoned so that it could be dealt with at any time.

“Ah! They must be from far away!”

The voices of the farmers began to be heard.

I observed them.

“…”

I’m not sure, but the farmers seemed normal-looking, but somehow they felt grotesque… Are they human? At least, in our judgment, humans were right. It doesn’t even feel like something is covering the human skin.

What can I say about this bizarre thing?

When I thought of it that way, they all looked similar. More than anything, that natural and bright smile on her face also feels unnatural. Are you so happy for me?

“It’s been a while!”
“It was not too long ago that the merchant came last time!”
“I don’t remember!”
“Anyway, it’s been a while since I had a guest!”

The farmers spoke as if they were personalities with feelings.

So I got to stand in front of them.

“…”

While I was looking at the farmers in silence for a while, a middle-aged man with a lot of hair on his face asked me first.

“What are you here for?”

He was a man dressed as an ordinary farmer, and he didn’t notice anything strange about him. Despite holding farm implements in his hands his, he could not read hostility or aggression.

“Judging by your appearance, are you a guest of the lord?”

Permanent residence?

“Lord?”
“Hey, the lord who lives in the castle you see over there.”

The farmer pointed back.

ㅡ…

Golden wheat fields and an unnaturally blue sky… I remember that there were some clouds until I entered the barrier. The color of the sky was also a little more sky blue. But now there are no clouds, and somehow it feels greener.

And it is nestled in the middle of the golden and blue border.

That suspicious castle.

“There… That the lord lives?”

By that lord, could he possibly mean the vampire lord Coltrahen?

“Sounds like that, of course.”
“What is this man talking about?”
“Then the lord lives in the lord’s castle, who does it live in?”
“That’s it.”

To my question, the farmers answered each other and chimed in.

It was the language of good farmers who felt no hostility whatsoever.

So I asked.

“…What kind of person is the lord?”

What kind of existence is the lord?

OK.

“Very.”

As if he was really proud of the farmer with his big smile.

And in a tone so happy that I couldn’t stand it.

“You are a very nice man.”

Said so.

ㅡA smile that is so beautiful that it feels unnatural.

“He’s the one who lives in that old castle.”
“He’s a very nice man.”
“He’s a good man.”
“Sunggun.”
“He’s a good lord who won’t exist again in this world.”
“Thanks to the lord’s choice, I feel like I’m living in paradise.”

At the same time, the farmers next to them threw words among themselves.

It seemed to be conversing with each other… But somehow it felt like a quaint chorus. It feels like a chorus popping out of nowhere in a scripted play.

But it was so natural, it seemed to come from the heart, and there was such a sense of incongruity that it didn’t feel like acting at all.

“He’s a very, very nice man.”
“Thanks to the lord, this place is no different from paradise.”
“How good of a person you are because you only receive taxes as prescribed.”
“It must be an angel.”

When the topic of the lord comes up, the farmers all praise the lord with a lively and happy expression. It feels like beings in a story about a generous country village and a good lord.

“Perhaps there is no lord better than our lord in this world.”
“Yes, yes. What a nice man!”
“Thanks to him, I can live without a stomach ache!”
“You are a very respectable person…!”

But these kids…

My pupils don’t seem to move…

“…”

No. Is it okay to move?
Even I, a superhuman, couldn’t judge properly.

“…Name.”

I asked again.

“Is your name?”

The name of the lord.

“What is the name of the lord?”

At that question, the farmers tilted their heads.

“Hmm? You don’t know the lord?”
“You don’t know our territory.”

I answered.

“You’ve come from a little far away.”
“Oh, well, that could be the case. Then our lord’s name is… Um?”
“Your name?”

ㅡ…

Momentary silence.

“Come to think of it.”
“Our lord’s name is…”
“I remember well…”

Don’t know the name?

“What about it?”
“To us, he’s just a lord.”
“It’s such a peaceful place to live without even knowing the lord’s name.”
“So it is.”

What the hell is this

You say you don’t know his name while praising him like that?

“First of all, the name of the territory is Aion. I know it as the surname of the lord.”

It’s aion

“Anyway, since the lord is kind, he will welcome you, guests from far away. The castle is right in front of you, so why don’t you apply for a visit?”
“Yes… I understand. I’ll let you do that.”

While answering that, I felt like I was going crazy because I was worried about one thing.

“But you guys.”

Here.

“Have you ever lived here?”

The peasants’ houses were nowhere to be seen.

“Hmm? That’s right. I’ve been living here since before my grandfather’s grandfather’s generation.”
“What do you need to go far?”
“There is no land as rich as here.”
“Even the lord is good.”
“I’ve been living here for a very long time. From generation to generation.”

I lived here… For a very long time.

“It seems like a nice place just by looking at it.”

It’s definitely a nice place to just look.

So I asked again.

“But where do you guys live?”

That was the moment I asked.

“There.”

The farmers all pointed east.

ㅡ…
ㅡ…
ㅡ…
ㅡ…
ㅡ…

Without turning their heads, everyone stared at my face and just stretched out their arms and pointed to the east.

“…”

I slowly turned my head and looked east… All I could see was a field of golden wheat stretching all the way to the horizon… And the sky above it… The only difference from the front was that there was no castle there.

Where the hell are the houses these farmers live in?

“Then slowly.”
“I must go back to work.”
“Go to the castle. If you are a guest from outside, the lord will surely welcome you.”

The farmers who lowered their hands greeted me and trudged back to where they were, and they resumed harvesting.

Just like normal farmers.

“…”

I couldn’t help but stare at them, seized with a sense of daze.

ㅡGoseong.

That old castle beyond them.

That’s so…

“Bastard… Sisters. Shall we just leave? I’m so fucking scared right now. What are those…”
“Uh, maybe not the Vampire Lord…! Something else got involved! I don’t even know what it is anymore!”

Winia and Hilde, who soon approached, made a sound of pain.
