Chapter 181 In the name of the task
There was no talking all night, and the work the next day went very smoothly. Ariel handed Tesla the notebook and talked about something about the elemental loom. Tesla also patted his head, admitted his calculation error, and decided to continue.
Conduct research design.
But when it was time for dinner that evening, Ariel saw everyone was in place, nodded slightly, and said -
"Cheese, there are some things I want to ask you."
Cheese was currently shaking his water glass with blood sugar cubes in it, looking at Cream who kept bragging and chatting. Now when he suddenly heard Ariel asking him something, he immediately turned around and nodded, saying: "Well,
whats the matter?"
Ariel exhaled slightly and said slowly——
"I have promised President Blue Stripes before that I will go to the territory of the Night Clan to find a way to turn him into a vampire. Do you still remember this mission?"
When he mentioned the blue pattern, the originally relaxed expression on Cheese's face immediately became tense. He thought for a while, put down the water glass in his hand, and said slowly: "I still remember this mission... and I also remember it.
At that time, the president said that after our guild championship match is over, we will go and complete this mission."
Ariel smiled and nodded immediately: "Yes. So I think... now should be the time."
As soon as these words came out, the members who were still chatting with each other immediately stopped chatting and turned their heads to look at Ariel here.
The faces of these members were either surprised, confused, or a little nervous.
But no matter what their expressions were, one thing was obvious, that is, they never thought that this day would come so quickly!
In such a short period of time... they are going to the territory of those vampires?!
The corner of Dak's mouth twitched. He quickly reached out and pushed Margaux next to him and said, "Our president...is she still conscious?"
Margot rolled her eyes at Duck, but then turned her head and pushed Cream aside, saying softly: "Hey, is it okay? Is this a joke...a puzzle? Or some kind of strategy?"
Ji Lian rubbed his shoulders and guessed: "I think... he should be deceiving those people from the Holy See and the Association... It should be... that's it..."
Regarding the mutterings of the members next to him, Cheese acted as if he didn't hear them.
There was a look of surprise on his face at first, but soon the surprise turned into some kind of nervousness, and then the nervousness turned into excitement! But not long after, these excited emotions quickly turned into a feeling of fear.
After changing his expression several times, the vampire finally said in a tentative tone: "President...are you saying...seriously? Are we really...going to...my hometown?"
"
Ariel nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Of course it is true. Since you have accepted the task, you must complete it. I don't know if there is anyone in your Night Clan who can turn people into vampires.
method, but at least we still have to go once, so that we can at least explain it to the client."
At that moment, the expression on Cheese's face finally turned into one of excitement and gratitude. He sniffled and seemed to want to shed tears, but then the vampire immediately turned his head and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
, waited until the mood calmed down a little, then turned back again and said to Ariel——
"President, based on your promise alone, I am committed to you and to Mermaid Song for the rest of my life! Unless you take the initiative to ask me to leave, otherwise, the matter of Mermaid Song is my business, and I will never do it.
Any complaints!”
Ariel waved her hand to tell this guy not to stand up and sit down properly. At the same time, she turned back and comforted the other members around her with her eyes, so that everyone would not be so nervous.
When everyone was sitting at the table with this uneasy but at least peaceful atmosphere, Ariel picked up a piece of bread, took a bite, and said with a smile——
"Although I have decided to complete this commission next. However, after all, the Night Clan is a completely unfamiliar field to us humans."
"In our human stories, you Night Clan have always appeared as monsters like 'vampires'. And I believe that in your Night Clan's traditional concepts, we humans are probably not kind and gentle either.
"
"Four hundred years ago, humans and the Night Clan fought with each other. This memory of the war may have been almost forgotten by us humans with shorter lifespans. But for you races with longer lifespans,
He said, I'm afraid there are still some survivors alive now, right?"
Regarding Ariel's words, Cheese did not show any intention to refute. It can be seen that Ariel knew that she guessed correctly. At the moment, she continued -
"So, if I want to complete this task commission, then I must have a comprehensive understanding of the Night Clan. I need to understand your Night Clan's living habits, daily habits, and your internal social organizational structure.
Who is responsible for speaking and issuing orders, who is responsible for performing what kind of work, what is the economic structure of your Night Clan, what kind of terrain is the place where you live, what is your output, etc. I need to know these things.
The more, the better.”
"Therefore, the questions I am going to ask you next may be very numerous and complex, and they may even involve some of your personal circumstances. The reason why I want to ask you here in public is that I hope you can speak out.
Let everyone hear it and avoid misunderstandings caused by my possible second transmission. Of course, if you feel it is really inconvenient to answer, you can also tell me directly and we will talk in private later."
Cheese turned his head and looked at the other guild members. Everyone's eyes were now facing him. After hesitating for a moment, the gunman finally exhaled and nodded gently——
"Since it is the president who wants to know for my mission, of course I have no reason to hide anything. President, if you want to ask anything, just ask directly. As long as I know something, I will never lie.
I’ll tell you exactly.”
With such a guarantee from Cheese, Ariel smiled slightly, nodded, and began to ask——
"First of all, where is the territory of your Night Clan?"
Cheese nodded and said slowly: "In the words of our Night Clan, that area is located in the 'Clone Wood'. Translated into your human language, it means 'Moon God's Residence'. And if you use your human language
If we were to identify it geographically, it should be in the center of the Golden Continent, in the northwest corner of the Red Moon Empire. There is a mountainous area with very rugged terrain, and it is always covered by thick fog during the day. The local humans call that place
It’s called No Return Ridge.”
When Cheese introduced it, Ariel had already taken out the map that had been prepared long ago, hung it on the bulletin board next to it, and began to search carefully. Sure enough, there was indeed a piece of land on the border of the Red Moon Empire that Cheese described
Mountainous terrain. However, this map does not describe the name of that place.
"Humans call it the Ridge of No Return, and you call it the Moon God's Residence. Well, I understand."
Ariel took out a pen, drew a circle on the map, wrote her name, and continued to ask——
"After the war between humans and your Night Clan, were all the Night Clan basically imprisoned in this place? In other words, did we humans cast any magic, seals, or the like to stop them?
Are you going out?"
Cheese shook his head: "I don't know much about things like seals. Anyway, when I ran out, I ran out very easily. I didn't notice any sealing magic or anything like that."
Ariel smiled, returned to her seat, and said: "Okay. So cheese, would you like to tell me now why you ran away from the territory of your Night Clan? You always said that you were in
It's boring in the territory, but it doesn't say why it's so boring. If boredom alone makes you run out, then I believe you shouldn't be the only vampire who feels bored over the years. But the problem is, in our
In the human world, humanoid races such as elves and dwarves abound, but I really haven’t encountered your vampires very often.”
When asked the core question, Cheese frowned visibly, as if he was thinking about whether he should answer this question.
After a while, he finally exhaled. Perhaps because he had already spoken too much and could not refuse, he said——
"To be specific, it's boring...it's just that we have a lot of rules over there."
"In the village, the great elders set many rules. You can't go here, you can't go there. You can't do this, you can't do that. Moreover, we have relatively little food, so we have to eat every day just to be full.
It’s already very busy, and there are many young people like me who want to run away, but they are always caught and tortured in a way that prevents them from being killed.”
Everyone knows what the Vampires mean by "not dying", so after hearing the word "torture" from a Vampire's mouth, everyone began to imagine what kind of torture the Vampires would find unacceptable...
…
Ariel recorded it in a small notebook and said, "Tell me specifically, what places can't you go? What can't you do?"
Cheese pinched his nose and seemed to be trying to remember. After a moment, he said: "I ran away when I was very young, so my memory may not be very clear. I remember that at that time, the great elder strictly prohibited any vampire from going to the back mountain.
