Chapter 1753 It was at around eleven that night when Gerald and the others finally arrived at the Emerald Realm.The vampires’ territory was an old forest located on an ancient mountain there, and since ancienttimes, few had ventured into the forest to meet them…
Fortunately for the party, there were still some operating hotels and inns in the vicinity. With that inmind, the group of five could finally settle down and get some proper rest…
After booking some rooms, he allowed everyone to head to their respective rooms to get some well-deserved sleep. After all, they needed to be fully rested before officially entering vampire territory earlythe next morning…
By dawn, all of them checked out early and immediately began driving toward the old forest in themountains…
After about forty minutes of driving, the car finally came to a halt at the foot of the mountain. Since thecar couldn’t be driven any further, they had no other choice but to continue forward on foot.
Once they got their luggage, they began their journey up the mountain…novelbin
As they were walking, Ray couldn’t help but declare, “…I’m not sure about the rest of you, but the airhere is amazingly fresh! It feels rather nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city!”
The others knew what he meant. After all, the environment here was definitely fresher compared to thecity’s. Aside from the crisp air, they were also surrounded by the rejuvenating aura of the plants aroundthem…
Regardless, after walking for about half an hour, the five of them eventually arrived at a village.
The village itself was built by the local vampires, and since they lived in such seclusion, their customswere naturally different.
With that in mind, the second the surrounding vampires noticed Gerald and his party’s presence, theyinstantly stopped whatever they were doing. As all the vampires stood up and stared vigilantly at thegroup, a man wearing a leather jacket walked up to Gerald, glaring at the youth as he asked, “Who areyou people?”
Naturally stopping in their tracks, Gerald then smiled subtly as he replied, “Greetings! We’remerchants!”
“Hah! A merchant, you say? Look, I’ve seen tons of people like you, so cut the act already! Tell me, areyou here for the treasure in the forest?” sneered the man.
Frowning slightly upon hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but think that the vampires were a bit moredifficult to deal with than he had initially anticipated.
After a slight pause, he then ordered, “Ray, bring the food out!”
Upon hearing that, Ray immediately took all the food out of his backpack before handing some toGerald.
Taking the food, Gerald then handed them to the leather-coated man before saying, “We really aremerchants! We’re here in exchange for some goods and local specialties! If you still don’t believe us,come examine our wares!”
Of course, Gerald was saying this to avoid the man from further being suspicious of them.
After hearing Gerald’s words and seeing the food, the man lowered his guard slightly before taking thefood that Gerald had handed out to him.
Even as the leather-coated man was still inspecting the food, the other vampires were already rushingtoward Gerald and his group.
While Gerald and the others quickly became the most welcome people in the village, it also causedtheir food supply to rapidly diminish as the villagers readily traded in gold for the wares.
Naturally, this made Ray, Nori, and Juno slightly worried. After all, if they had no food left, what werethey going to eat when they ventured deeper into the old forest?
At that moment, a gruff voice could be heard shouting, “Step aside!”
Following that, everyone watched as a fat man fumbled forward with a few shabbily-dressedsubordinates following behind him.
“Oho! Outsiders, hmm? What good things have you brought over?”
