Chapter 1783 - Why Are We Running?

Mamy Restaurant's closure had inconvenienced many, including the various representatives who had already fallen in love with the food there.

"I thought that this place was the city lord's castle's canteen. Seems like that's not the case," Dracula mumbled with a frown as he stood outside the restaurant.

"Heh. The city lord's castle cannot afford it." Camilla pressed her lips together. However, this place was her canteen. Now that it was closed, she still had to think about where to eat.

"Let's go. Our manpower and resources should be on the way. We have to go and watch it." Dracula turned and got on the horse-drawn carriage.

"You go on your own. I'll go walk around. In any case, it would never be my turn to fight the monster." Camilla waved her hand and left.

"This lass." Dracula glanced at Camilla with resignation. If he'd known that there would be so much trouble at this meeting, he would not have been so eager to come.

The restaurant was not open, but Yabemiya's ice cream shop was operating as usual.

Although it was still early, a bunch of children who could not resist the temptation of ice cream dragged their parents over early in the morning since it was the holidays.

Camilla pushed the door open, and nodded to greet Miya and the rest, who were busy. After that, she took a seat by the window in the corner. This place was the furthest from the children's play area, and it was very quiet.

The moment Camilla sat down, Amy came over with Ugly Duckling in her arms, and sat right opposite her with a smile, asking, "Big Sister Camilla, where is your Little Blackie?"

Ugly Duckling's ears pricked up. Although it still looked rather lethargic, it was obviously on its guard at the mention of that black cat.

"I didn't bring it out," Camilla answered with a smile and a shake of her head.

"Mm-hm. It's so ugly, it is a little inconvenient to bring it out." Amy nodded understandingly. She lowered her head and glanced at Ugly Duckling as she said with a sigh, "Ugly Duckling, do you know how much courage and determination I need to bring you out?"

"Meow~"

Ugly Duckling meowed with grievance. It stroked its furry head against Amy's hand in an attempt to salvage even the slightest love from her.

A few children at the side stared at Ugly Duckling. It was a furry ball, and looked absolutely cute.

Miya brought an ice cream over, and passed it to Camilla with a smile. She softly asked, "No meeting today?"

"Mm-hmm. I'm just a calefare anyway." Camilla nodded. She raised her hand, and set up a small soundproof shield. After that, she looked at Yabemiya, and said, "The restaurant is closed for the next two days. Do you guys want to leave Chaos City to seek shelter?"

"Seek shelter?" Miya looked at Camilla with bewilderment.

Camilla looked Miya in the eye, and said, "The situation this time is a little complicated. I am not sure if they can really stop that fellow. If they can't, Chaos City will be in danger. Therefore, I want to bring you all away for the next few days. In any case, the result will be out two days later."

"Err…" Yabemiya was hesitant. Although she wasn't sure what the adults had been discussing yesterday, she could tell the seriousness of the matter from their expressions.

"Miya, do you trust me?" Camilla asked.

"Of course." Yabemiya nodded without hesitation. She thought for a while, and said, "I want to discuss this with everyone. After all, this is not something I could decide on my own."

"Alright." Camilla nodded, and began eating her ice cream.

"Here. If you haven't had breakfast, have some small biscuits. It tastes great together with the ice cream as well." Amy pulled out a small tin box from nowhere. It was filled with little bear biscuits. She placed it in front of Camilla, and said, "Father gave me this as a snack."

Camilla looked at the little bear biscuits in the tin box and frowned.

As a vampire…

"This biscuit is crunchy, fragrant, and sweet. It's 10,000 times better than pancakes." Amy picked up a biscuit, and bit the head off of the bear in one bite. She munched on it just like a squirrel stealing food and enjoying it a lot.

Camilla, who had yet to have breakfast, quickly felt her stomach growl. She could not help but swallow her saliva.

"Here, try one. It's really delicious." Amy picked another biscuit up, and passed it to Camilla.

In order not to leave a stereotypical impression for the child, Camilla accepted Amy's warm invitation, and at the same time emphasized, "I'll just have one."

Crunch.

The moment she bit into the biscuit, Camilla's eyes lit up. The biscuit was crunchy, fragrant, and sweet. It did not require too much chewing, and was not too dry.

After finishing one, she could not help but reach for another one.

A bite of the little bear biscuit paired with a bite of ice cream was strangely delicious.

After the mini peak period, Miya hung the closed sign on the door. Behind closed doors, everyone gathered.

Today, Elizabeth, Gina, Shirley, Angela, Firis, Jane, and Anna had all come to Yabemiya's ice cream shop. Rena went to the hot pot restaurant early in the morning, and Hannah was at the brewery. Babla had yet to return as well.

Most people from the restaurant were there.

"Amy, where's your father?" Camilla asked Amy. The restaurant was not open today, and Amy was here. Where did Mag go?

"He went out early in the morning. Maybe he has gone to the factory." Amy shook her head, uncertain where her father had gone.

"Miya said that you wanted us to leave Chaos City for two days. What happened?" Elizabeth asked Camilla. She had not been present at the restaurant yesterday.

The others also looked at Camilla. The latter participated in the meeting as a representative of the vampires yesterday. Perhaps she knew something.

After making sure that the soundproof spell formation was set up, Camilla looked at everyone, and seriously said, "Something nasty appeared near Chaos City, and it's difficult to deal with. Right now, the various races deployed their resources and powerhouses over, but even so, there is no guarantee that we can reseal or kill it.

"Once the situation gets out of hand, Chaos City might be attacked. Therefore, I was thinking of bringing all of you out of Chaos City beforehand to seek shelter and wait for two days to see how the situation turns out.

"If things are under control, you guys can come back again. If the worst-case scenario happens, don't come back."

Everyone's expression changed. Would no one on the entire continent be able to deal with this terrifying thing? How powerful did it have to be?

"Why hasn't Chaos City or the other races raise an alarm?" Elizabeth asked.

"Panic might result in a more serious aftermath. Right now, the Norland Continent needs to gather all elites to deal with that fellow." Camilla shook her head slightly. "On top of that, if all the powerhouses of the Norland Continent combined cannot stop that fellow, there isn't much point in running."

"In that case, why are we running?" Amy asked as she raised Ugly Duckling's little paw.

"No one would want to be the one to die first, right?" Camilla said calmly.
