Chapter 431: Still Clothes

"Miss Maekawa, if you're sleepy, just take a nap. To get there, you have to ride a carriage for more than ten hours. It's already late at night when you get there. I hope I can seize the time and go down to the mine immediately to light the candles. But no It’s time for you to rest.”

"Yeah. I don't feel sleepy right now. I'll rest by myself if I'm sleepy." Yi Xing hesitated and said, "The scenery outside is so beautiful, it really makes people feel refreshed... Hmm? What's over there?"

Outside the carriage, a giant tower with a strange shape in the distance caught Yoshiyuki's attention.

There seemed to be something wrapped around the side of the tower.

"Ah...you mean the Leaning Dragon Tower." The client also followed Yi Xing's gaze and explained.

"The tower was not originally tilted. It became what it is now because of the war and the long years when the sides sank a little. As you can see, the dragon coiled around the tower is in a petrified state. It is a A serpentine dragon that long ago fought an exorcist on the steps surrounding the tower, and was eventually defeated by the exorcist and turned to stone."

"Moreover, there used to be not only the leaning tower, but also an entire castle. But then the entire castle disappeared. Only the fragments that collapsed before the castle disappeared and the dragon tower... Ah, by the way. About that This castle also has some interesting stories. If Miss Maekawa is interested, would you like me to tell you?"

"I'd like to hear the details." Yi Xing became interested.

"Yes. That castle was from the time when the nightmare first came. The original city owner was corrupted by the nightmare and turned into a demon. The whole city was also regarded as a fortress of demons. Monsters, evil spirits, devils... they kept emerging from here. Then came out and began to invade the surrounding villages and towns."

"Any place occupied by them will be devastated. Those who were killed on the spot were lucky. More people were caught in the castle and tortured cruelly. As long as you get a little closer to the castle, you can hear the noise inside day and night. There were constant screams."

"Originally, everyone was helpless. The witch was far away and couldn't care about us. People had to leave their homes and stay away from this terrible castle. At this time, an exorcist appeared. She broke in alone Enter the castle, kill the city lord, destroy the portal and the core of the city, and destroy this sinful castle."

"Oh... this kind of thing has happened before. It's really an interesting story." Yoshiyuki nodded and asked with great interest: "What about the whereabouts of this exorcist?"

"I don't know. She seems to have left such heroic deeds all over the world, but after Kuon Township became peaceful, she seemed to disappear directly."

"But at least someone knows what her name is, right?"

"Everyone generally calls her Shigei. But that doesn't seem to be her real name. Miss Shigei's real name seems to be Lilith... Well, Shigei is a given name, right? I can't figure out that way of naming. Understand which is the first name and which is the surname..."

"Shiuyi..." Yoshiyuki was stunned for a moment: "Uh, is your surname Imamura?"

"Oh? That seems to be one of the theories. Has Ms. Maekawa heard of her too?"

"A little, a little bit." Yoshiyuki felt a chill coming from his back: "I heard Miss Shigei is a vampire, right?"

"Ah, someone said that. But I think they should be ordinary people." The client said casually: "To be honest, I hate vampires. They are completely different from ordinary people, and they are always prone to doing all kinds of horrible things. Come on. How can you make people like her? The relationship between vampires and demons is so close. If she is really a vampire, she shouldn't be able to attack her kind."

"There are all kinds of vampires. We can't just conclude that they are the same kind as demons." Yoshiyuki said, frowning, trying to find out more information: "I'm very touched about Shigei. Interested. Can you tell me more?"

"I don't know much. What do you want to ask?"

"For example, what weapon did Ms. Shigei use?"

"Chains, sickles and swords. There's also a machine ball." He cleared his throat and said: "It happened too long ago, and there are no particularly clear records. You probably won't be able to tell anyone if you ask. Something too specific."

"Um……"

An indescribable feeling of fear began to invade Yi Xing's heart.

He hurriedly began to recall the memories related to Shigei Imamura, trying to find any evidence that the vampire lady had visited Kuongo.

But he couldn't find it at all.

Shigei never mentioned this at all.

And it doesn’t make sense even from the age point of view.

The first time Jiuyuan Township was invaded by nightmares was millions of years ago—in fact, since it seemed to be more than nine million years to be precise, everyone simply said it was tens of millions of years ago.

Even because the time is so long, some people say it was more than 10 million years ago.

Is this person really Shigei Imamura?

If so, how is that possible?

Miss Shigei probably didn't live that long.

...But if it weren't for her, this coincidence would be too terrible.

The names are the same, the hair color is the same, and they both use machine balls that most people can't use...

By the way, does Shiuyi know how to use chains and swords?

I haven't heard of her using these two weapons...?

But considering that many of the spells she cast do summon chains, it's not surprising that Ms. Shigei herself is proficient in using this weapon.

It's just that the chain is not only summoned in the spell, but also held in the hand and danced.

As for the stabbing sword, I have never seen Shiuyi use it.

If I had to find some connection in the spell, it would be that Shigei would shape spikes with blood and let them fly towards the enemy.

But this really has nothing to do with the bayonet.

As for the scythe, Shiuyi really knows how to use it.

Her machine ball can transform into a sickle.

It's just that Yoshiyuki has rarely seen her do this.

Probably because the world is peaceful, Shigei is too lazy to go out to the room to practice martial arts. So there is no need to summon the sickle at all.

She occasionally took out the scythe just to check whether the machine ball was rusty - Yoshiyuki always found her idea to be very baffling. If such a powerful magic weapon is rusty, then the quality is too poor.

All in all, the more Yoshiyuki thought about it, the more he shuddered.

He began to wonder what kind of place Jiuyuan Township was - and what happened to Shigei.

Since Shigei couldn't live that long, she should have traveled through time.

Or... it traveled through time in the future.

But what is her purpose?

What happened when Jiuyuan Township was first invaded by nightmares?

Shigei must have come here with some purpose.

... Could her purpose be related to the Gate of Hell or the Strange Dream Syndrome?
