Senri casually moved closer and squeezed my hand. I reckon he is checking for any strange behavior on part of the travelers crossing the running water. I need to be carefulвЂ¦ДЄ gatekeeper armed with a spear, looked on at the travelers passing the gate, with a bored look on his face. Vampires possess several other weaknesses besides running water. If the Lord really intended to assume control over my body, then it would not be too strange if he had taken measures against the vampire countermeasures. Engey had it tooвЂ¦ but maybe it was out of order, the water wasnвЂ™t flowing.вЂќД®ngey is near the LordвЂ™s base. ItвЂ™s properly maintained in bigger cities. However, I should be able to overcome such a small ditch as long as I am prepared. In this world, invisible to the human eye, there are undead countermeasures set up everywhere. There is no doubt that I would have been caught if I was not warned by Senri. Had I stepped into it carelessly, I would have lost all my strength and collapsed to the ground. If it ran around the entirety of town, then even a true vampire would not be able to transform into a bat and try to get into town. It was clearly a measure taken against vampires. There was a small ditch outside of the gate. Well, I do possess the papers the Lord had prepared for meвЂ¦ДЄs we stood in line awaiting our turn, Senri whispered to me. The outer wall is probably more of a safety measure against beasts. Even in Engey, you do not need any papers to get you into town. The travelers, as long as they were not suspicious, were allowed to pass through. Merchants, who came on horses and their carts, were having their goods examined. The outer walls were not too high, there was a river nearby and a lot of people were lined up at the gate even at sunset. While she is still by my side, I need to determine my next course of action.ДЄnd thus, without any further incident, we safely reached town. I need to make the best use of this fortune. It may have been my greatest fortune that it was Senri who was sent to dispose of the Lord. However, her standing, strength, knowledge and her finest blood, make her the perfect travel companion.
