Chapter 563: Three Conditions for the Mercenary Captain
The stunned mysterious vampire is brought into the new Chapel of Light's Wish, a special building with several sturdy, magical metal cells, perfect for imprisoning powerful creatures of darkness.
For some time to come, this will be a temporary lair for vampires, and the Night Prayer Order will serve as a guard over their kind.
The order given by the stone is simple, no matter what means are used, no matter how long it takes, you must knock the other person in the mouth and find out what he has to do with the little bell.
Vampires are extremely strong in the flesh, and ordinary methods of interrogation and torture may not work for them, and it is the vampires themselves who really understand them.
Therefore, it is only fitting that this task should be entrusted to Aurora, who is from the "Lamia family", and she knows a lot of interrogation magic that specializes in this kind, and I believe that the results will be obtained soon.
………
After a whole night of fear in the temporarily arranged hotel, Shen Fu, who had not rested from beginning to end, finally saw the first rays of morning light in the east.
Last night was extremely torturous for him, in addition to the ubiquitous sleepiness, he also had to worry about whether someone would suddenly attack and end his caravan.
Fortunately, with the blessing of the Dragon Emperor, it turned out to be calm and nothing happened.
The only hidden danger is that the missing Mr. An did not return all night and had no news at all.
Since it was dawn, Shen Fu naturally would not take the initiative to find his whereabouts, in other words, it was a good thing that the other party did not appear.
In fact, the relationship between the two parties is very special, and it can't even be considered employment, not to mention Shen Fu, a small caravan captain, even if he is the president of the "Shen Chamber of Commerce", he is polite in front of the other party, so he can't control that Mr. An at all, and he doesn't want to put his caravan in danger because of his affairs.
According to the president of the Chamber of Commerce when this person appeared, everyone in the caravan could not inquire about his identity, he was regarded as a traveler on the way, the two sides had no affiliation, the caravan should go according to its own plan, it should stop, his actions were not controlled, he could go if he wanted, he could stay if he wanted, and the well water on both sides did not interfere with the river water.
What Shen Fu didn't expect was that this strange relationship would last for ten years.
During this period, the other party did not violate the rules set at the beginning, no matter where the caravan went, there was no objection, and most of the time stayed in his carriage.
However, after a long time, Shen Fu also slowly discovered the other party's abnormality, and after experiencing several dangers together, he finally noticed some clues.
This person's physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and he occasionally uses some advanced magic, which is a rare monster double cultivation, but he is extremely afraid of the sun, coupled with his special appearance, it is easy to think of a creature like a "vampire".
This kind of creature is not uncommon in Aurora, and their legends are circulating in many places, and there are even rumors that there are many powerful vampires hidden in the magnificent and large-scale palace complex of the Dragon Emperor.
However, none of this has anything to do with a small caravan captain, although the other party has struck several times in danger and saved the entire caravan, but in the face of unknown dangers, Shen Fu made a decision without hesitation.
Keeping yourself and your caravan safe is the most important thing.
No matter what happened to Mr. An, it had nothing to do with him from the time he left that room.
The good news is that so far, nothing seems to have happened.
Enduring the sleepiness, Shen Fu called Gao Shan to knock on the doors one by one, and called up those subordinates who had stayed up all night, most of them couldn't bear it and fell asleep, and left this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
But someone was faster than him, and before they could get ready, one of the people he was most afraid of seeing came.
The lord of the town, forgive the leader of the mercenary group, Rip.
Shen Fu, who received the news, was taken aback, fortunately, the mercenary leader only brought a ten-person team to come, obviously he didn't want to use force, if he really wanted to do it, he would definitely not bring only such a few people.
Sure enough, Lei Pu sent someone in to pass the word and wanted to talk to Shen Fu alone.
Gao Shan suggested taking advantage of the fact that the other party was small and killed directly, but after hesitating for a moment, Shen Fu vetoed the proposal.
The monk who ran away couldn't run the temple, if Lei Pu really wanted to make a move, he must have been prepared, the other party was an A-level mercenary group, to solve their caravan, there was no need to be so troublesome, just attack directly, and now the other party showed a posture of wanting to talk, there should be something to understand, maybe this is their own opportunity.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, not to mention that the other party still occupies the right time and place.
Thinking of this, Shen Fu simply appointed, and did not want anyone including Gao Shan to accompany him, and walked out of the hotel alone.
When Rip saw him come out, he also walked out alone, and the two of them just walked along the path, talking in a low voice as they went.
As expected, the mercenary leader got straight to the point and asked about Mr. An.
Shen Fu didn't hide it, and told all the information he knew, as well as the little guesses in his heart that he had spent so many years getting along day and night.
He understood that only in this way could he and the caravan have a chance to live.
But the problem is that he really doesn't know too much, except for the identity of the vampire, the only thing that is useful is that he speculates that the reason why the other party is wandering around the old world with the caravan should be looking for something, and according to the situation last night, it is very likely that he is looking for someone.
Knowing everything, Shen Fu could only wait anxiously for the final result.
What he didn't expect was that, firstly, Lei Pu did not show any surprise at the identity of the vampire, and secondly, regarding Mr. An's intentions, the mercenary captain only nodded, and just when Shen Fu thought that he was going to face a tragic fate next, Lei Pu put forward a few conditions.
First, it is necessary to conceal all the information about the Church of Light that we saw last night.
Second, after going back, he told the Chamber of Commerce that Mr. An had left the caravan suddenly.
Third, leave a hostage of sufficient weight.
Only by satisfying the above three points can Shen Fu and his caravan leave safely, and even before leaving, they can get some gifts, which are enough for them to earn a lot of money after returning to Aurora, and Lei Pu said that if they want, the two sides can reach a long-term cooperative relationship, which can ensure that their caravan will be protected when it passes through the "Rabid Dog Trail" and the "Frontier Prince's Territory" in the future.
As a businessman, Shen Fu instantly understood what the other party meant, typical coercion and temptation, threatening himself with death on the one hand, and tempting himself with interests on the other.
In good conscience, the conditions offered by Lei Pu were not harsh, and even the ideas about trade cooperation in the back were far beyond Shen Fu's imagination, but the only thing that made him hesitate was the issue of hostages.
The mercenary captain didn't give him much time to think about it, he suddenly stopped, and his gentle voice turned into a dagger with cold light, just right to resist the caravan captain's death hole.
"If I'm not mistaken, when I was in the Empire, the young man sitting next to you was a noble son, I think he is very suitable, young man, it is just that he needs to exercise more, it just so happens that our town still lacks an excellent tax officer, right?"
