As soon as Søren stepped in, a figure followed him in.
However, he did not go straight to the front door like Søren, but quietly entered one of the rooms from the side window. The rooms here were lavishly decorated, somewhat out of place compared to this remote town. There were even some extremely expensive oriental porcelain placed on the wall shelf in the corner. The floor was covered with a soft carpet, and the quilt in the room was expensive velvet. From any point of view, the decoration here was not something a small noble in a remote area could enjoy.
There was not much farmland in Withered Leaf Town, and there were not many specialties. The tax was mainly based on the rent collected by the Lord.
This money was barely enough to maintain a decent life.
It was estimated that in some larger cities, slightly wealthy merchants could live more comfortably than this kind of noble.
But now looking at the decoration inside this house, it was at least the level of a viscount noble, which was the luxurious decoration of a middle-level noble's private manor.
This noble's background may not be clean!
Søren walked around this rather luxurious mansion and realized that the identity of the other party may not be clean.
Simply put.
Normal income could not support this kind of life. Ordinary bedrooms were decorated at this level. It was estimated that the master's bedroom was comparable to Gloria's bedroom in Whiterun City.
What was Gloria's identity?
She was a member of the Northern Witch Council and the actual ruler of a northern city. The gap between the status of the two was not comparable.
Da da da.
Søren, who was moving forward, suddenly stopped. He was completely invisible in Sneak, so he was not worried about being discovered by others. Just now, a Vampire servant walked in front of him and did not notice Søren, who was standing one meter in front of him. Unless Søren had an obvious smell of blood and relied on the Vampire's blood tracking ability to find him, it was basically impossible for them to detect the existence of Søren.
There was a slight noise in another room.
Søren took a step back vigilantly, and then saw the door of a room with a window on the side open, but he did not see anyone. The door was gently opened and then gently closed.
A Rogue!
There was another high-grade Rogue here.
The opponent's Stealth ability was on par with Søren's. Søren couldn't see through the opponent's Stealth, and the opponent didn't seem to notice Søren either.
If it wasn't for the door suddenly opening, the two of them would have to be close enough to discover each other based on their senses and accumulated experience. But now that Søren had confirmed his opponent's location, he had the upper hand. If he wanted to, he could even kill his target within three seconds.
But if he did that, his tracks would be exposed.
Søren's curiosity was piqued, and he temporarily suppressed the thought of confirming the other party's identity. Instead, he quietly followed behind and put some distance between them. He wanted to see what the other party was trying to find out.
He was definitely not a vampire!
Not many people would be bored enough to sneak around in their own territory. It was obvious that he had waited for the vampire servant to leave before coming out. It was very likely that he was a lurker from another force.
In such a remote town, other than Søren the Unseen, he couldn't think of any other high-level Rogue.
This house was relatively large.
The Rogue in front seemed to be familiar with it. He must have secretly come to investigate. Søren saw that he came to a door and then opened a door that led to the basement.
"Creak."
When the door was opened, there was an obvious sound. The Rogue in front seemed to be a little nervous.
After opening the door, he quietly sneaked in and then closed the door behind him. Closing the door behind him was undoubtedly not a good habit. Søren had no choice but to wait for a while, and then gently opened the door. There were torches on both sides of the basement, and there were stairs below that led to the depths. It seemed that there was also a tunnel. It seemed that this place had been here for a long time.
As soon as he entered the basement.
Søren smelled a faint smell of blood.
At the corner of the stairs, he saw a limp corpse. The killing method was very simple. It was a very simple kill, directly hitting the enemy's heart, and then twisting the enemy's neck.
"It's a master!"
Søren glanced at the corpse, and his expression gradually became serious. The vitality of a Vampire servant was very tenacious. To be able to kill it in one blow was definitely not something an ordinary Rogue could do. Either he was an experienced veteran, or he was a high-level Professional with a Profession Level of 16 or above. Søren saw a little bit of the Assassin's ruthlessness from the position where the corpse was hit.
This guy may have received combat training as an Assassin!
Along the passage, there were some strange murals. Søren didn't have time to look at them, because he found two more corpses in front of him.
"Strength close to legendary!"
Soran glanced at the two corpses lying in the corner, and his expression became more and more serious. These two enemies were killed in one blow, without alerting the others, and at the same time, two enemies were killed at the same time. Even with Søren's current ability, it wasn't that easy. The Rogue in front of him might have a Profession Level of 18 or above.
That was to say, he was at least a quasi-legendary Rogue!
As he went deeper and deeper, Søren's vision gradually widened. In front of him, there was a large secret room. The most eye-catching thing was an altar-like building. In the center of the altar, there was a blood pool, and there were several smaller blood pools around it. No wonder these Vampires didn't find out that their companions were killed. The smell of blood here was too strong, and it was basically impossible for them to smell other blood.
The altar of the Demigod Vampire!
As a dark creature that fed on the blood of the living, Søren naturally didn't expect to see anything good near their altar.
However, looking at the size of these blood pools, it seemed that the Vampires had been here for some time. Without dozens or hundreds of missing people, it was impossible to fill these blood pools.
There was a prayer ceremony in the altar!
In the center was a priest wearing a black robe, followed by an old man who was obviously dressed like a noble. Vampires didn't age, so his current appearance undoubtedly meant that he was transformed into a Vampire after his body entered the state of old age. As for the reason for becoming a Vampire, it was estimated that there were only a few reasons.
A fanatical prayer ceremony.
Søren didn't find the first Rogue, but he could be sure that the other party was hiding somewhere nearby.
"Bring up the sacrifice!"
After completing the last prayer, the black-robed priest ordered the believers kneeling under the altar.
Soon.
One of them was brought to the front of the altar.
His body was shackled with chains. From the back, he didn't seem to be an ordinary person. To deal with ordinary people, these Vampires didn't need to be shackled with steel.
This was a profession!
Søren couldn't see the other party's appearance from the back, and he couldn't judge his profession. He could only be sure that he should be a melee profession.
However.
As the man was brought up as a sacrifice, Søren immediately found that the nearby shadows were distorted.
"Kneel!"
The black-robed priest shouted with a cold expression, but what responded to him was thick phlegm and a fanatical voice. "The Blind One is the true God! You false god believers won't be able to live for long! … "
Boom.
A heavy punch came out, and the man's words were abruptly choked back.
Hearing what he said, Søren immediately figured out the ins and outs of the matter. It seemed that the Blind One and the Vampire Church had a conflict. Both sides wanted to divide this place into their own territory, and it seemed that the Blind One believer was captured by the Vampire. When the man on the altar was hit by a heavy punch, Søren also saw the other party's appearance when he turned sideways. The man had only one eye, and the other eye socket was empty.
A high-grade member of the Unseen organization!
Only a true fanatic would dig out his own eye. No wonder a high-grade Rogue would come to save him.
However.
How could a Rogue defeat these Vampires?
Søren just had a trace of doubt in his heart when he felt a vibration around him, followed by a violent noise from above.
