Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 649 Cursed City Vermont

?

In front of Lith and Emilia's eyes lay an ancient city, spread as far as their eyes could see.

All around the city was a desert and the middle of it was a mighty citadel and clock tower. It was night time and a moon could be seen in the city. Unlike the bluish-silver moon from the Werewolf Continent, this moon's colour was a simple silver.

Emilia was greatly surprised to see such an ancient city. If she wasn't wrong, according to the knowledge she had, this city may very well be something from the Immemorial Era!

Emilia turned to look at Lith and asked, "How did you find this place?"

Lith chuckled. "My lady, I could pick the moon and the stars for you if you ask me. This is just a simple ancient city."

Emilia rubbed her temples in response as a slight blush appeared on her face. She liked what Lith just said but it didn't answer her question and fulfil her curiosity.

She didn't know if she should be happy or annoyed.

"Husband, can you stop flirting and answer in a straightforward manner?"

Lith laughed lightly and decided to answer. If he didn't, he was sure his wife would be unhappy.

Lith held Emilia's hand and walking towards the ancient city, began narrating, "I was in the Elven Royal Castle…"

After the day when Lith decided he would go on a date with his wife Emilia this year, he began searching for places.

What place would an Angel like? He wondered. 

The Vampire, Werewolf, and Demon Continent was a big no because all were polar opposites of an Angel. As for the Witch Continent, the things over there were good for ladies only. It was a bad honeymoon spot.

He could go to the Dragon Continent but he was sure that Arya and Alexandra would crash the honeymoon. Although it wasn't bad, it wouldn't do Emmy justice and would also result in Arya and Alexandra ruining their busy training schedule.

As for the Neutral Continent, it was a viable option but Emmy knew every nook and cranny of it. There was nothing that could surprise her there. 

It was the same case with the Angel Continent as well and on top of that, foreigners were given very limited access in that continent. It was done to protect the Angels.

The Human Continent was in chaos so it was a no as well. The Elven Continent was a viable one but he had been to so many places over there now, he would be bored if he took Emilia there. Not to mention, he had visited it last year with his mother as well.

So which place to go to? This question still remained.

Getting nothing after a while, Lith decided to keep it at the back of his mind and attack the Humans. While in conflict with them, he worked closely with Neo and from his memories, he got to know about ancient civilizations and got an idea.

Lith began searching for such places and finally, in his clan's records, he found a place in the Werewolf Continent.

It was the Ancient Werewolf Civilization from the Immemorial Era which was more than a trillion years old.

Lith had found many other places as well, but the majority were either in ruins or were not worth going to for a honeymoon.

The special thing about this particular place was that it contained people! 

That's right, there were ancient Werewolves in this place as per the records of his clan. How amusing it was to see a civilization from so long and Lith felt this was the perfect spot for Emilia who was so into academics and teaching.

It would be a great experience for her and this place also contained a lot of spots where he could get complete privacy with his wife. So it was a win from all directions.

Emilia, after knowing the story behind Lith discovering this place, was amazed as well as shocked.

Only now she was starting to realize just whom did she even marry and which clan she belonged to. 

As per Lith, even the Werewolf King Anderson didn't know about this place. Not only him, no one apart from the Evure Clan knew.

This made Emilia wonder, just what was the depth of the clan she was married into? What all stuff did it contain and what more surprises were there that awaited her?

The two continued to chat and after a while, they were inside the ancient Werewolf city, which was called Vermont.

Once inside, Lith and Emilia saw a rough pavement made up of stones everywhere instead of roads. There was also a lot of dust and the buildings all looked to be made up of mud and stones.

Hand in hand, Lith strolled in the city with his curious wife. She was so amazed that the whole time, Emilia's focus was the architecture, the roads, the way the people lived and so on.

It was only after an hour did the two see a person walking towards the towering citadel.

He appeared shorter than the average Werewolf of today and there was also a lot of hair on him, indicating he didn't have a perfect human form like the present day Werewolves.

The person was wearing a simple cloth over his body that covered his privates and with the dusty appearance he had, it was evident that it was a poor person.

This ancient Werewolf also had the similar mulato color of the present day Werewolves, showcasing that these bunch had been living in a desert since ancient times.

While looking at the person from afar, Lith explained calmly, "Emmy, you may see a few strange things here, don't be surprised by them and don't go near them."

"Hmm?" Emilia didn't understand why Lith said that so suddenly.

Lith looked at her and continued, "this place is actually cursed and there are some things which we need to ignore and not pay any attention to. What happened was…"

In the Immemorial Era, the residents of this city, Vermont, ended up offending a wandering traveller. Little did they know, he was a mighty sorcerer and due to their foolishness, the sorcerer placed a curse upon these people.

This whole city was cut off from the real world and was placed in a Time spell, which was still going strong even after a trillion years.

They were put in a time prison and the residents of this city weren't aware of it or became conscious of it.

They never died and didn't have the ability to reproduce either. They just lived. That's it, this was their punishment; put into an eternal prison of life where there was no escape or salvation.

The people were also stripped off of their sense of time, meaning they didn't feel the passage of time and just lived their daily lives, doing things.

Put into better words, they were frozen into one moment of time for eternity, which they would redo again and again.

Emilia felt shivers hearing such a punishment and knowing just how much time has passed, it further brought a chill down her spine.

She just couldn't imagine herself doing the same thing for eternity and could also not imagine how horrifying this was.

Emilia then glared at Lith, her face clearly saying: 'What in the heavens!? Why did you bring me to this place?'

Lith chuckled and patting her head, said, "trust me, even though this seems like a prison, it's a good place. You'll like it."

Emilia sighed. "Let's see. You could've taken a safer approach by choosing some place in the Neutral Confinent."

Lith shook his head. "I want to give my wife the best of the best experience. Generic places just don't do well in that regard."

It was then Emilia who shook her head. She held Lith's face with both her hands and looking him in the eyes, said, "honey, you do understand that I'll love it anywhere you take me, right? I am really not very picky."

Lith smiled. 'Now this is a new reaction I am looking at from Emmy. Cute.' 

He held her face and kissed her forehead. "Less talks, more walks now. Come let's go explore. Then we can rest in some place."

Once again, the two walked through the dusty streets and explored the city of Vermont.

Lith had come prepared to this city and brought together artifacts that would help him and Emilia blend in with these people.

These people weren't high level beings. They were powerful mortals and if Lith wanted to, he could easily wipe them away. But just to be safe and preserve this place, he took the rightful measures before coming.

Being in the middle of the desert and it being night, Vermont was cold and since this was a city of Werewolves, many were roaming on the streets.

Lith and Emilia saw their behavior, things they did, and judging from the patterns they were showing, their EQ didn't seem very high. Neither was their IQ very high. It was no wonder that the Chaotic Era began right after this.

People really were stupid.

The two peacefully walked through the outer periphery of the city for a few hours and once Lith felt Emilia was starting to get bored, he decided it was time to take a break and rest.

He took Emilia to an empty dwelling nearby which was made up of stones and mud. There were no lights or candles and it was dark in there. It was in a secluded place and thus was pretty secure too, making it a perfect spot to rest.

But coming prepared, with the help of Emilia, the two turned this dark and dusty place into a more comfortable and cozy one. 

Once their bedroom was set up, candles were lit, and the ambience was made, Lith hugged Emilia and looked into her eyes with a smile.

Before he could say anything however, Emilia put her finger on his lips and said with a slight blush on her face, "don't say anything. I know this is your favourite part, so let's just start."

Lith chuckled internally and thought, 'Damn. She knows me really well. Alright then…'
