The originally chaotic and nearly infinite warehouse suddenly had some unfamiliar props, such as the corpse of the demon king Uranus, some luxurious gowns and Western swords, as well as something like execution tools.

"These are all belongings of the Countess's eldest daughter."

Such a thought suddenly appeared in Iss's mind. Immediately, she found a small amount of coins belonging to this world in her conscious warehouse. Without hesitation, Iss took out the money belonging to this world.

"I suddenly remembered that when I passed by a city, I exchanged for some coins. Can I use these?"

Iss took out the currency that originally belonged to the Countess's eldest daughter. Although using someone else's money without permission made Iss feel embarrassed, carefully considering the situation, if she was already guilty just by using someone else's body, there was no need to worry anymore.

In an instant, the boss widened her eyes and opened her mouth exaggeratedly.

"This is... the vampire's Heruente coin? It's a rare item in the church country. Wait, could it be that the young girl is really a vampire?"

"Huh?"

The boss's words stunned Iss for a moment.

"Is the young girl joking...? Not only can't you stay in an inn, but a vampire actually entered the heartland city of the church country. This is a serious matter. I, I must report it to the city defense force."

Her face turned pale in an instant. The boss directly dropped the coins and turned around without looking back. Rather than saying she was leaving, it was more like she was running away at a speed of fleeing, which reminded Iss of the protagonist in a horror movie encountering a ghost.

However, the inexplicable feeling only lasted for a few seconds, and Iss began to feel that something was wrong.

Could it be that vampires couldn't enter human towns?

"No, there are obviously vampires living in this city, and I've passed the guard check. They let me in knowing that I'm a vampire. The boss's reaction makes no sense at all."

Frowning, Iss fell into deep thought. Not only the guards, but also the reactions of the farmers she met while queuing up and the residents on the streets after entering the city, none of them showed any fear towards her. The boss's extreme panic was simply abnormal.

Just as the thought emerged in her mind, Iss heard a sudden sound of hurried footsteps coming from the stairs. The boss, who had just escaped from the counter, probably notified the people living upstairs. A bald middle-aged man ran downstairs, and at the moment he saw Iss, his feet slipped and he directly rolled down the stairs.

But the middle-aged man didn't curse or cover any painful areas, instead he rolled and crawled, trembling and shouting.

"Oh! In the name of the goddess Yumir, it's... it's a vampire! How can a vampire appear here!"

"Hey."

Iss took a step towards the man, and immediately the man panicked and held his hands in front of him.

"Ahh! Don't eat me!"

Without even listening to what Iss was saying, the bald man used both his hands and feet to run directly back to the second floor along the stairs. Then, Iss heard a scream of horror from upstairs, followed by a dull sound of a body hitting the ground - someone had jumped from the second floor.

Once again, Iss doubted whether vampires could live in human towns. Or rather, she already faintly felt that the relationship between vampires and humans was not as friendly as she imagined.

The man's behavior was nothing like someone who was used to vampires. If this town allowed vampires to live, the man shouldn't have been afraid of her.

"The behavior of the people earlier... because the Countess's eldest daughter looks like a child, so those people might have thought that the vampire's wings were just a child's prank? And the 'only approved Arthur-sama' that I heard before was actually referring to the vampire who entered the town, the only vampire who was allowed to enter the city? The farmers I met earlier even said that I was from a theater troupe..."

As if a broken string was reconnected, Iss slightly opened her mouth, her expression becoming subtle.

This city does not allow vampires to enter.

Everything made sense now.

"Such a bizarre thing actually happened in reality..."

Reality often has more drama than novels, and Iss had a profound realization for the first time.

A warning alarm rang in her mind.

If that was indeed the case, her act of entering the town was equivalent to willingly putting herself into the hunter's mouth. The first priority should be to leave this place, such as using 'Advanced Teleportation.'

"Let's run to the farthest place possible."

Iss opened the omniscient map and prepared to set the coordinates for 'Advanced Teleportation', but the contents displayed on the map made her scalp tingle - the entire town of Anno had already been surrounded by numerous representative soldiers, and not only that, there were soldiers outside the inn as well, and the number of soldiers was increasing at an extremely fast pace.Found.

Without enough time to set up a secure teleportation point, Iss randomly selected a location. However, just as she uttered the words "advanced teleportation," the door of the inn was forcefully pushed open. A young and charismatic-looking priest led a group of soldiers inside.

There was hardly any searching process as the priest immediately focused his attention on Iss, who was standing still. It was evident that the priest let out a sigh of relief. He took a few steps forward and, in a tone that was not judgmental but rather reminiscent of speaking with an acquaintance, he spoke.

"Miss Persia, how could you end up in such a distant place?"
