Chapter 62.1: Refrigon (7)
Late at night, I got out of the inn and took a light stroll along the street.
Asher was still watching Gulfiro’s shop, so I was alone.
I wasn’t just being overly worried.
Whether it was someone from Santea or someone sent by the Tyrant, it wouldn’t be strange if either side approached Gulpiro for the meantime. Even if the possibility was slim, we still need to be vigilant.
Just look at what happened at Gaitain Lake. Would one even imagine that as soon as I left, the chief mage of Santea’s Imperial Family would suddenly appear and attack the Seawater tribe?
“How much is this?”
“It’s just 10 copper coins, my dear.”
I bought a snack to eat on the night street where the night market was open.
After I left, I thought I should bring some to Asher, so I bought her share as well.
And as I was moving to the potion shop, my super sensory felt a weak energy.
“···?”
I hurriedly ran towards the potion shop with a hardened expression.
When I reached the store while avoiding the eyes of passers-by and using space leap, I saw the messy interior seen through the window and Asher holding a sword.
What happened?
But luckily, I was not too late, so I stopped running and entered the store.
As if my appearance was sudden, Asher and Gulpiro looked at me in amazement.
“Didn’t I tell you she would be around to keep you safe?”
Saying that to Gulpiro, I turned his gaze away.
A man and a woman in robes.
I checked the woman’s face and tilted my head. Reef?
She, too, was looking at Asher and I with a look of bewilderment.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe one who appeared to be the intruder was a man. From the outside, it looked like a vampire.
Could it be that the Tyrant really send someone?
“What are you doing, vampire?”
There was no reply from him.
The man who had been silent suddenly stretched out his hand to me. Blood-red flames rose in the air.
I immediately used Gascalid’s blood magic.
Then the flame went out and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
“What, what?”
The guy let out a hoarse voice.
I unleashed the blood magic that I had stolen from him and gave it back as it was. An explosive burst of blood covered him.
The guy fell to the floor. He held on to one arm the explosion had completely torn that out and let out a suppressed scream.
“Ahhh!”
That’s pretty much what this ability was.
Gascalid’s blood magic was a perfect counter against vampires.
I stood in front of the other.
“Did the Sixth Lord send you?”
When I asked that question, blood rose again in my hand, and he shook his head urgently.
“Oh, no! It has nothing to do with the Sixth Lord!”
“Then what?”
“That, that’s…”
He hesitated to answer with a pale, tired face.
Come to think of it, were there quite a few vampires from the same homeland as the Sixth Lord and living in Mahea City?
Some were in the territory’s castle, and some were forming separate organizations and licking the feet of the Sixth Lord… Ah.
Nolhave, the number one intelligence organization in the Sixth Lord’s territory.
I suddenly thought that he was related to the information organization, so I asked.
“Are you from Nolhave?”
“···!”
For a moment, the man’s eyelids trembled.
I was convinced that my guess was correct and asked Gulpiro.
“Did this guy come to you knowing your identity?”
“···Yes. I’m not sure how he found out.”
Then it’s enough to find out now.
I looked back at the vampire and asked.
“From now on, if you hesitate to answer even a bit, I will kill you. How do you know that Gulpiro is here?”
As I made the flame bigger, he hurriedly opened his mouth.
“It’s just a coincidence! I found out by chance!”
“Please explain.”
The following explanation was as follows.
The time when the great alchemist Gulpiro and his arrival in the city overlapped, the treatment of a patient with an incurable disease, and even the appearance.
After hearing all the explanations, I looked back at Gulpiro with a slightly puzzled face.
He, too, burst into laughter.
“You only found out because of that? Heh…”
Anyway, I was relieved.
If it was really from the Tyrant’s side, I’d be entangled with him again and things would be annoying.
“So, it means that you eventually raided the store after coveting the Elixir.”
I frowned and looked down at him coldly.
He knew the true identity of Gulpiro, so there was no reason to show mercy.
His complexion grew even whiter as he had foreseen his end.

His whole body was engulfed in flames.
The wildly fluttering flames burned him up in an instant, leaving no corpse behind.
“Heh, really….”
Gulpiro sighed and said to me and Asher.
“Thank you. Thanks to you two, I survived. I could have been in real trouble.”
I nodded and looked at the one remaining.
The woman who caught my gaze was startled and stepped back.
- ··So why was she here?
I was curious about the details, so I was going to ask Gulpiro, but he asked me something first.
“By the way, how did you do that? It looked like you stole the vampire’s powers.”
I answered simply.
“It’s true that I stole his blood magic.”
“Hey, how is that even possible? There’s no way it’s magic, maybe it’s a mystery?”
I didn’t give him a detailed answer.
“Tsk, take away blood magic?”
At that moment, the woman who had still kept her mouth shut and let out a trembling voice.
When I looked again, she was staring blankly at me with a confused expression on her face.
“You can steal blood magic? Really?”
“Yes…”
I couldn’t even continue speaking.
Because she fell to her knees on the floor out of nowhere.
“Please help, my lord. My, my brother has light blood disease.”
“····”
“If you can steal blood magic, you can also cure that disease, right? So please…”
I looked down at her desperately begging with narrowed eyes.
Understanding what my gaze meant, she put her forehead on the floor and bowed her head.
