Section 53 Investigation
"My wish for vampires is to take revenge on the slave traders who sold me to Sivania." It must be noted that at the beginning, Lalia struggled very fiercely, and many words were squeezed out from her teeth. But now, either she accepted her fate or she was tired, she was becoming increasingly difficult to resist the invisible power that controlled her. "So the vampire asked me to return to the Eagle City and fulfill my wish with my own hands."
In this way, it is easy to understand. The vampire may be careless or have too much confidence in himself. In short, he made a logical mistake. He should have obtained the other party's soul first to give the other party's strength, but now he gives Lariya first. The whole incident is like a typical business fraud model that can be heard from time to time: one party immediately flew away after getting the deposit instead of staying to fulfill the transaction.
Of course, the vampire seemed to have made some preparations. But it seems that these preparations are not enough.
"Sivania... I heard that vampires live in a magic castle?" Ashu Rufate suddenly asked this question for some reason.
"Yes, a castle with powerful magical power. Its appearance is completely different from its interior... It's very incredible."
"Tell me about what you've experienced in that castle."
Lalia began to tell the story of what she encountered back then. Although it was several years ago, the memory was very clear to her, so she explained it in detail. She talked about the various situations she encountered in the castle, how the girls inside the castle were divided into strict levels. There were also the guards who exchanged eternal slavery for eternal life. The ogres guarding the gates of the castle, and some unknown strange things, especially some strange things made of metal but with wisdom.
She talked about the various hideous and terrifying scenes she saw in the castle, the cruel torture instruments and bloody shackles she saw. All the new girls were sent to visit those terrible places so that they could get rid of the idea of escaping. People often disappeared - from time to time, the companion who was in your dormitory yesterday disappeared today. No one ever asked where the disappearing people went, because everyone knew where they went.
When Lalia finally finished telling the story, she noticed the change in Ashu Rufate's face. Although she didn't understand why.
"So that's the case." Ashu Rufate smiled reluctantly. "Tell me, is your sister planning something... I remember she said that she wanted to be the ruler of the underground world of Eagle City."
"Yes..." Lalia's struggle became stronger again, but the force forced her to give this reply.
"Why did she do this? You have driven out the gangsters in the Flower District and have created a quiet paradise for yourself... and girls similar to you. Think about it, because of the mistakes of vampires, you have been given great power, and with such a perfect and peaceful living environment, what else do you pursue? Is it really an endless desire?"
"The slave trade in Eagle City... has once again...prospered." Lalia said with difficulty.
Ash Rufat immediately remembered what Akin introduced to him before.
"Now, a senior official of Groone has deployed his power in the underground world of Eagle City. Due to his indulgence and control, the slave trade has become frequent again. The slave trade, which was originally controlled very strongly, has become increasingly... out of control. Many innocent people... this is something that my sister and I can't tolerate!"
Is the slave trade? Ashurufate finally understood the vague statements of Rhodeya before. Indeed, the slave trade seemed very tempting to Groney. You can say it is full of sin, but you cannot deny that this transaction is really profitable. Ashurufate couldn't help but think of the Yanyan Gong at the previous imperial meeting, and some curious guesses which of them was interfering in this matter.
"So that's the case, then what you did yesterday was..."
"Clear some obstacles." Lalia replied. Her answer is actually very philosophical, not to kill people, but to clear obstacles. But I think so, why did they say that they had completely cleaned up the rogues who controlled the Huajie District by relying on absolute violence?
"I've told you everything you want to know, let me go now," said Lalia.
"Will you absolutely obey me?" Ashu Rufate turned his mind to what he saw. "Do you have to obey me in everything? What if I let you commit suicide?"
"I have to...I have to..." Lalia struggled hard, but she couldn't control her mouth. "Yes...I...even if you let me cut myself alive...I have to obey..." When she said the last sentence, her emotions had lost control. "Demon!" she cried and scolded.
"Okay, I get it. I don't have a good impression of those slave traders, and so are those hooligans." Ashu Rufate's words were beyond Lariya's expectations. "You just do what you want to do. You can leave."
"You... won't enslave me?"
"What do I enslave you?" Ashu Rufat asked. "I don't need guards or killers, even I am someone else's guard. And I only have to stay here for a year. You can leave." He added the last sentence. "By the way, don't tell your sister about this. This is not an order, it's just to reduce unnecessary guards and conflicts between us. I believe you can understand what I mean. I'm not your threat, and I don't plan to do anything to you."
After Lalia left, Ashu Rufate leaned hard on the backrest of the seat. Only after calming down could he feel the inner uneasiness. Could it be that the things in the dream were...
"...Soul traveling is a special situation. After someone dies, the soul escapes from his body, but does not enter the realm of the gods, but enters another body. It either suppresses the original soul in this new body, or combines with the original soul in the new body to form a new soul..." The doctor's words sounded in his ears again.
It is known that there is indeed only the last vampire left in the world... and I look so similar to that vampire's servants must obey me... Ash Rufate desperately did not think in this direction, but the thoughts in his heart were like they took root and he couldn't go away.
When he came in, he saw the door next door tightly closed, but Ashu Rufat knew that Ajin should be in the room.
"A Jin, A Jin!" He came to the door next door and began to knock hard.
A little later, the door was opened. Akin appeared in front of Ash Rufat in a pajamas. It seemed that Akin didn't sleep last night, so he was making up for his sleep now.
"What's wrong, Ashu Rufate." Ajin asked while rubbing his eyes. "What's the urgent matter?"
"Ajin." Ashrufat said in an urgent voice. "You should have contacts with chambers of commerce and other places, right?"
"Of course there is...why are you asking this?" A Jin asked in confusion.
"Do you have any contact with Sivania? I mean, can you contact a reliable person there, business companion, too."
"Sivania? The territory of vampire?" Ajin still looked sleepy. "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Can you help me ask what the vampire's recent moves are. I don't want the second-hand information about the third-hand information. I want the first-hand information. I want the reliable person to see it with his own eyes, and then send it back with the fastest speed... with magic communication. I can pay."
"Ah, magic communication, this price is not cheap." Ash Rufate's last sentence (to be specific, the last word) directly drove the sleepy bug out of Ajin. A strange expression flashed across his face, but Ash Rufate could no longer care about this at this moment.
"How much does it cost?" Ashu Rufat asked.
"At least two hundred Jin'olys." Ajin's eyes turned around and quoted a price. "Ashu Rufate, we are friends, so I'll give you 20% off this price. As long as it's about the vampire's movements?"
"This is three hundred Jin Oli." Ashu Rufate quickly took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket. "Ajin, please, at the fastest speed. Remember what I just said, I want to see with my own eyes, not hear about it. I want to know the vampire's movements these two days."
"The faster the better?" Ajin took the money and confirmed it again. "Then there was the vampire movements I witnessed with my own eyes. I'm right. What I did. It's OK these two days?"
"That's right." Ashu Rufate said.
"Wait for me, one minute." Ajin turned around and returned to the dormitory. In about half a minute, he returned to the door and handed a piece of folded paper to Ash Rufate. "The latest situation of the vampire is absolutely first-hand information."
At this time, Ash Rufate had no intention of pursuing Ajin's actions. He quickly opened the paper with an urgent expression and recognized that it was a letter.
"... The Duke of Blood personally received me, and we had a great time and had a whole afternoon. I must assure you that the vampire is an extremely wise ruler. He fully agreed with my point of view and issued me relevant supporting documents and authorization licenses on the spot. Dear cousin, my situation is very good. If your business is not going well, I suggest you come to me. There must be a position suitable for you, and you are faithful..." The end of the letter was a name that Eshu Rufate didn't recognize, and time - time was yesterday.
