"I choose to believe in Regis."

Ryan and Dilaff were staring into each other's eyes the whole time, motionless.

The hesitation and stiffness of either of the two will be keenly grasped by the other.

Suspicion, distrust, and then the conversation collapsed.

Fortunately, neither of the two showed these suspicious emotions.

Lane then emphasized.

"I trust Regis' abilities and loyalty to his friends, but it's none of your business, High Vampire, Mr. Dilaff."

As he spoke, Lan En got up from the ground and patted the floating ash stuck to his cotton jacket with his hand.

"I think I already know what to do with you."

Regis stood to the side, bowing slightly.

But the gesture was not so much a ritual salute as a casual banter and teasing between friends.

Regis is not a man who can carry a stand, and his gentle speech is more impressive than his manners.

"Oh! I am deeply honored for the trust you have placed. ”

"Come on!" Lan En's face showed deliberate impatience, and he waved his hand as if to drive away. "Don't speak in arias, your voice isn't for this."

Gede still had doubts on his face, but he also walked over, and the three of them began to go outside the mine to discuss what to do with the high-ranking vampires in the cage.

"We can't kill him, and Regis can't commit murder in their tribe and become a 'human' murderer."

With his hands on his chest, Lan set the tone for the small meeting.

"And reinforce the suppression circle left by Anahad. Even if the cost of gathering materials is aside, we know that the dwarves of Heinberg don't want to come back every few decades. They won't admit that this is a job done. ”

Regis stood to the side, still tugging at the strap of his shoulder bag, like a country tax collector.

He didn't have much worry on his face, because he probably already knew Ran's attitude towards Dilaff.

Gede smacked his mouth, then scratched his re-shaved chin with a conflicted expression.

"Well, let's talk about it, it's a plan that works. Although we witchers often release some harmless monsters in their quests, the high-level vampires. Tsk, I have to say, my worldview has taken a hit. ”

Lan En patted Gede on the shoulder with relief.

"The world is changing, and it's getting faster and faster. It's better to adapt early than later. ”

"You don't have to comfort me, I can adjust myself. I said, you are the leader, you have the final say. ”

Gede waved his hand indifferently, indicating that he could pass this level in his heart.

Even if all three agreed.

Lan En nodded, glancing into the mine and said.

"Then we have only one choice left - let Dirav go."

Both Gerd and Regis nodded.

Lanne, on the other hand, looked at Regis seriously, and his tone changed.

"But I'm not going to let him go with just plain talk, you know, Regis?"

Regis's brow furrowed.

"What do you mean?"

"You can see telepathically that Dilaff is a good man, and I trust you, so I don't doubt that. But as you can see, he killed a village in a fit of rage. ”

Lan En said calmly.

"The people of that village deserve it, but there must also be innocent people who are killed. And Dilaff's actions came out of his anger driven by his own morality, and he was also cut apart and imprisoned for more than a hundred years because of his actions. I don't have any doubts about the fact that he was punished and served his sentence for the time being. ”

"The only problem: we have to make sure that he doesn't retaliate against his captors."

"It's okay for the Bear School to say that Anahad is long gone, and Hain Kawech has long been empty, and there is not even a mouse."

"But what about the dwarven Hainberg? They hired us to handle the task, and we can't let them out a revenge-seeking killer because of it. ”

"Dilaf didn't want revenge! He's a good guy! ”

Regis explained with a frown.

But Lan En said in a tone that was so calm that it was cold.

"The promise is empty, and your knowledge of him is limited to telepathy at this point in the day. Regis, the word 'good guy' cannot be taken as effective, and I need an effective measure to make sure that Dilaff doesn't do that kind of thing. ”

Regis's expression was tangled like never before.

It was the first time he had seen Regis look like this since he had met the gentle and friendly High Vampire.

He knew that Lane was right, and that it was necessary to ensure that inmates could not retaliate against their detainees.

He even had a viable plan in place to ensure that Dilaff would not offend Hainberg in the future.

But it was this plan that made him so entangled now.

"I think he's swallowing a big lump of blue cheese now."

Ged complained about Regis's current face on the side, Lane had never seen it, let alone talked about it.

"It's not like you're swallowing blue cheese raw," the young man muttered to Gerd as well, "I think he's more like walking a tightrope through the mouth of a bubbling active volcano." ”

After a long time, Regis seemed to have finally made up his mind, and he took a deep breath.

"Suck~ You're right, Lan. My plan is like walking a tightrope through an active volcano, dangerous, deadly. Even for a creature like me. ”

"Can you tell me about it?"

Lane asked tentatively, only to receive a wry smile from Regis.

"I'll take Dilaff to meet an ancient creature. That creature has the supreme majesty of us, and if he says it, then we have to do it word for word. I tremble just by imagining that it will disturb his peace. ”

"Makes you high-level vampires tremble? What is that?"

Before Gerd could finish his curious question, Lan reached out and grabbed him by the shoulder, interrupting him.

"No, Ged. Don't ask. ”

Lane's voice was soft, but at the same time resolute, and Gerd's curiosity was extinguished.

Young people don't know much about the world, but they know a lot. Because he has come into contact with many beings located in the depths of the world.

If the creature in Regis's words was one of them, then he thought it would be better not to get to the bottom of it.

After grabbing Gerd, Lane turned to look at Regis.

"You go see the creature, and then what?"

"Then I would look at him and swear in front of the creature that I would never take revenge on the dwarves and bear witchers of Hainberg for more than a hundred years of imprisonment. Rest assured, even the most daring among us will not dare to break our word under witness. ”

"In that case." Lan nodded, "Then I'll have no problem, let Dilaff out." ”
