"Damn it..."
Watching Uriel's departing back, Danny cursed under his breath. His gaze fell back to the lone bottle of dark red liquid on the counter, and he muttered to himself in confusion.
'I'm sure I tasted it myself before, and it was completely fine... How could it cause a bloodline abnormality...'
'Forget it. For now, I'd better figure out how to scrape together the guild fees. Five Silver Coins... They're nothing but a bunch of vampires!'
Just as he was knitting his brow in deep thought, a shadow suddenly fell over the counter.
"KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK..."
After lightly tapping his fingers on the wooden table a few times, Roland slowly began to speak.
"Excuse me..."
"Ah! Hello!"
Startled, Danny jerked his head up, an eager smile immediately spreading across his wrinkled face.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I happened to overhear just now..."
Roland gestured in the direction Uriel had left, a gentle smile on his face.
