Chapter 181: In the Name of the Mission

Previous Chapter

There was no word all night, and the next day's work was very smooth. Ariel handed the notebook to Tesla and said something about the Elemental Loom, and Tesla patted his head, admitting that he had made a mistake in his calculations, and decided to continue researching the design.

But when it was time for dinner in the evening of this day, Ariel saw that everyone was in place, nodded slightly, and saidβ€”

"Cheese, there's something I want to ask you."

Cheese was now shaking his glass of water with blood sugar cubes in it, looking at Cream who was constantly bragging and chatting. Now that he suddenly heard Ariel ask him, he immediately turned his head and nodded, and said, "Well, what's the matter?" ”

After exhaling slightly, Ariel said slowly-

"I promised President Blue that I would go to the territory of the Night One Clan to seek a way to turn him into a Bloodline. Do you remember this task? ”

At the mention of the blue lines, the originally relaxed expression on Cheese's face immediately became nervous. He thought for a while, put down the water glass in his hand, and said slowly: "This task...... I still remember. And I remember that the president said at the time that when our guild championship battle is over, I will go to complete this mission. ”

Ariel smiled and nodded, "Yes." So I think...... Now should be the time too. ”

As soon as these words came out, the members who were still chatting with each other around immediately stopped chatting and turned their heads to look at Ariel.

The faces of the members were surprised, confused, or a little nervous.

But no matter what the expressions were, one thing was clear, and that was that they definitely didn't expect this day to come so soon!

In that short time...... They're going to the territory of those vampires?!

The corners of Dark's mouth twitched, and he quickly reached out and pushed Margaux next to him, and said, "Our president...... Is she still sane? ”

Margaux gave Duck a blank look, but then she also turned her head and pushed the cream on the side, and said softly, "Hey, no problem, right?" It's a joke...... A puzzle? Or is it some kind of stratagem? ”

Cream rubbed his shoulder and guessed, "I want to ...... I guess it's to trick the people of the Holy See and the Society...... Should...... That's right......"

As for the muttering of the members next to him, Cheese acted as if he hadn't heard it.

A flash of surprise appeared on his face at first, but soon that surprise turned into a certain nervousness, and then nervousness turned into excitement! But it wasn't long before the excitement quickly turned into fear.

After his expression changed several times in a row, the bloodclan finally said in a tentative tone, "President...... You mean...... Earnest? We really ...... Going to ...... My hometown? ”

Ariel nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Of course it's true, since you have accepted the task, then you have to complete it." I don't know if you have any methods in the Night Clan that can turn people into Blood, but at least we'll have to go once, so at least we can explain to the client. ”

At that moment, the expression on Cheese's face finally changed to excitement and gratitude. His nose sobbed, as if he wanted to shed tears, but then the Bloodclan immediately turned his head, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and waited until his mood eased a little, then turned back again, and said to Arielβ€”

"President, just with this promise of yours, I will follow you and the mermaid song for the rest of my life! Unless you take the initiative to ask me to leave, otherwise, the matter of the Mermaid Song is my business, and I will never complain! ”

Ariel waved her hand so that the guy didn't have to stand up and sit down. At the same time, he also turned his head and comforted the other members around him with his eyes, so that everyone's emotions were not so nervous.

When everyone was now sitting obediently 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 smileβ€”

"Although I have already decided that I will complete this commission next. However, the Night Clan is, after all, a completely alien territory to us humans. ”

"In our human stories, you Nightsman has always appeared as a monster like a 'vampire'. And I believe that in the traditional concept of your night people, we humans are probably not kind and gentle images. ”

"Four hundred years ago, humans and the Nightmen fought each other, and this memory of war may be almost forgotten by those of us who have a short lifespan. But for those of you who have lived a long life, I'm afraid there will still be old people alive now, right? ”

Cheese didn't show any intention of refuting Ariel's words. From this, Ariel knew that she had guessed correctly. At the moment, she continued-

"So, if I'm going to fulfill this mission, I'm going to have to have a thorough understanding of the Nights. I need to know about the habits and habits of your Yayi people, your daily habits, your internal social organization structure, who is responsible for speaking and issuing orders, who is responsible for carrying out what kind of work, what is the economic structure of your Yeyi people, what kind of terrain is where you live, what kind of output you have, etc., etc., the more I need to know about these situations, the better. ”

Therefore, the questions I will ask next can be very numerous and complex, and some of them may even involve some of your personal circumstances. The reason why I want to ask you in public here is that I hope that after you say it, everyone will hear it, so as to save me the misunderstanding caused by the possibility of a second message. Of course, if you find it 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. Seeing that everyone's eyes were now all on him, after a moment of hesitation, the gunman finally exhaled and nodded softly-

"Since it was the president who came to know for my mission, then of course I have no reason to hide. President, if you want to ask anything, just ask, as long as I know, I will never lie, I will tell you everything. ”

With such a guarantee from the cheese, Ariel smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, nodded, and began to ask-

"First of all, where is your Night's territory?"

Cheese nodded, and said slowly, "In the words of our Night Clan, that area is located in 'Clone Wood', which translates to 'Luna Abode' in your human language. And if you use the geography of your human race, it should be in the northwest corner of the Red Moon Empire, located in the center of the Golden Continent. It is a mountainous terrain with very rugged terrain and is always covered by thick fog during the day. The local people called that place the Ridge of No Return. ”

At the time of the cheese introduction, Ariel had already taken out the map that had been prepared a long time ago, hung it on the bulletin board next to it, and began to search it carefully. Sure enough, there was indeed a mountainous terrain in the border area of the Red Moon Empire described by Cheese. However, the map does not explain what exactly the name of that place is.

"Humans call it the Ridge of No Return, and you call it the Abode of the Moon God. Well, I see. ”

Ariel took out her pen, drew a circle on the map, wrote her name, and continued to askβ€”

"After the war between the humans and your Night Clan, have all the Night Clans basically been imprisoned in this place? In other words, are we humans using some kind of magic, seals, or something like that, to keep you from going out? ”

Cheese shook his head, "Seals or something...... I don't know much. Anyway, when I ran out back then, I ran out 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 us why you ran out of your Yeyi clan's territory back then? You keep saying you're bored in the territory, but you don't say why you're so bored. If it's just boredom that makes you run out, then I believe that you shouldn't be the only bloodline that will be bored for years. But the problem is that in our human world, humanoid races such as elves and dwarves abound, but we really haven't encountered your bloodline much. ”

When asked the core question, Cheese's brow furrowed visibly, as if he was wondering if he should answer the question.

After a moment, he finally exhaled, perhaps because he had already spoken too much just now, there was no way to refuse, he spokeβ€”

"Exactly boring...... It's just that we have a lot of rules on our side. ”

"In the village, the Great Elder has made a lot of rules, what you can't go here, what you can't go there. This can't be done, that can't be done. In addition, we have relatively little food, and we are already busy just trying to get enough to eat, and there are many young people like me who want to run out, but they are always caught and tortured in a way that does not kill them. ”

Everyone knew what the Bloods meant by "not dying", so after hearing the word "torture" come out of the mouth of a Bloodline, everyone began to imagine what kind of torture would make the Bloods feel unacceptable......

Ariel used a small notebook to record it and said, "Specifically, what are the places you can't go?" What can't be done? ”

Cheese pinched his nose, as if struggling to remember. After a moment, he said, "I ran out when I was very young, so the memory may not be very clear. I remember that at that time, the Great Elder strictly forbade any blood clan to go to the back mountain. Not only could they not go, but they just stepped past the residence of the Great Elder, and if they wanted to set foot on the cliff to the back mountain, they would be immediately tied back and beaten severely. ”
