Gold is Justice

Ariel waved her hand, and said confidently: "Do you know what is the favorite thing for the staff in the Blue Bay Empire now?"

Suta, Cream, Cheese, and Dak all shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.

Ariel smiled and said, "The best way is to do nothing."

"Whether it's for officials, for the magicians of the association, for the priests and paladins of the Holy See, or even for the royal family itself, their favorite thing to do now is to do nothing."

"Maintain the original order, maintain the original benchmark, and maintain all the original systems. How to do it in the past, then it will continue to do so now and in the future. There is no need to change, no change, no need for any A little bit of difference. It would be best for everyone to occupy a pothole like a carrot and never come out again."

"Why? Because change means risk. For those who are in high positions and have entered the stage of waiting to collect money, any little change is dangerous. Although this change may bring them more benefits, but who can guarantee that these changes will not remove themselves from the former rentier group?"

"So, in order to ensure that there is no slightest risk, nothing will change, which is the best approach for everyone."

Hearing this, Duck couldn't help exhaling, looking at the scenery in front of him, and said slowly——

"If not changing means the best...then why are we here now?"

Regarding this question, Ariel was very straightforward: "For the benefit~~~"

She stretched out her finger and pointed to the small trolley behind Dake, Cream, Cheese, and Suta. Looking at the materials piled up on the small trolley, she said with a smile——

"It is precisely because they are unwilling to change, and because they have eaten up all the meat and refused to give us even a little leftovers, that's why we want to take the initiative to find food."

The four members turned their heads and looked at the materials they were pulling. Some of them frowned, while others half-understood.

However, it doesn't matter, because for Ariel now, these things don't need to be explained too much to these members.Anyway, they will be able to understand it by themselves.

So far, the most important... is the scenery in front of me.

Looking around, right now, the darkness before dawn is being dispelled by the slowly rising sun.

The darkness slowly disappeared at this moment, and the golden morning light seemed to sweep away all the coldness and fear in this world, repainting the world with color.

Through the portal, Song of the Mermaid is now standing at the border of the Red Moon Empire, in front of this mountain called the Ridge of No Return.

As the sun gradually illuminated the entire mountain, this terrifying stone forest covered with bare rocks and shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see clearly what was going on inside, came into everyone's eyes.

Ariel looked at the rocks rising up from the ground like blades, and couldn't help but gasped.She turned her head and looked at the cheese next to her, and the cheese nodded slightly, obviously everyone did not go wrong. "It looks like this is our destination."

After Ariel looked at the mountain in front of her again, she said——

"Cheese, how long will it take to get from here to your village?"

Cheese thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't know. It was night when I escaped, so I was full of energy. But it's daytime now, so I don't know how long it will take to climb up. Maybe... …Need a whole day? Plus I don’t know the way very well. After all, it’s been so many years.”

Does it seem like there is no way out?

Ariel exhaled, waved to Cream and Suta next to her, and said, "It's daytime now, even if the blood race really lives in it, it's also the time when they are at their weakest. You two go in as a team to investigate For a moment, be sure to come back before dark, no problem?"

Suta and Jilian agreed, both straightened their weapons and walked towards the mountain.And Ariel, Cheese, Duck and Napa are resting in place.

When it was almost evening, the two men came out from the mountain surrounded by thick fog and said, "President, we have walked all day and thought we have gone very deep, but we still haven't been able to see anything." See the traces of those blood races. This moon god's residence is much bigger than we imagined."

After receiving such news, Ariel also knew that it was impossible to go in during the daytime and come out before dark.There is no other way, now I can only bite the bullet and rush inside.

"Rest, we will start again in the second half of the night. Try to go further."

Ariel gave the order to rest, and all the members are resting on the spot now.In the middle of the night, everyone got up, and after sorting out all the equipment on their bodies, Ariel asked everyone to take out a large amount from the trolley and stuff it into the equipment bag, and then put all the equipment In a relatively hidden cave next to it, after burying it with floating soil and rocks for a while, it began to walk towards the territory of the blood clan.

----

The territory of the Night Clan... is quiet.

Especially when I walked in here in the middle of the night, I felt that it was so quiet and terrifying.

There was no sound of birds chirping in the sky, and there was not even the slightest chirping of insects in the crevices of the rocks.

Once stepping into this area, it seems that the whole world has been cast with a magic of silence at this moment. No voice dares to make its own voice. They all hold their breath and try to integrate themselves into this emptiness.

Cheese, as a returning "wanderer", walked in front of the team, carefully clearing the way.

Suta stood behind him on the left side, and Cream stood behind him on the right side, and the two kept watching the situation on both sides.

At the end of the team was Dak, holding two swords, one long and one short, in his hands as the rear.

Ariel is now holding the little white cat Napa in her hands, holding her breath, carefully tucking her head in the center of the line, and walking forward step by step.

They were very careful along the way, cautious and even a little nervous.

After the thick fog in front of them began to be illuminated by the gradually bright sunlight again, and after seeing the scarlet in Cheese's eyes gradually fade, everyone was slightly relieved, and found a slightly open place to sit. Down, take a break.

"Cheese, I'm about to see your people again, do you have anything to say?"

Cream smiled, and took out the water bottle to take a sip.

Cheese exhaled, but there was no joking mood on his face: "I'm only worried that I can't find a way to convert humans into the night clan. As for my clan... I haven't seen you for so many years, and I don't have anything Emotional."

Suta hugged his newly bought tower shield, leaned against the cliff next to him, adjusted himself to a more comfortable resting position, and said, "Don't you have a family?...in the village..."

Cream also followed with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, do you have family members? Even vampires have family members, right? What about your parents? Do you have any siblings? Um... According to the general storyline, you shouldn't be A descendant of a noble vampire, right? For example... What is the relationship between the elders of your village and you?"



Chapter One Thousand and Ninety Night Interview with the Vampire

The cheese snorted and said, "I'm so sorry, I'm not a young master or a young master. I'm just an ordinary villager in our village. As for my parents? I don't know either. Maybe it's because there are really no to eat, so they abandoned me and ran to other places to find something to eat. I was raised by our village chief. It was the old stubborn village chief I was talking about."

There was a little pity on Suta's face, and he said, "It turns out that you are also a poor child..."

Cheese chuckled, and pouted at Suta: "Hey, human girl, don't think that you can talk in a superior manner anytime and anywhere if you have given birth to a human cub. Calculated according to your human age, I am qualified to be your father Woolen cloth."

Suta blushed and stopped talking.

Ariel smiled, and turned her head to look at Duck next to her, only to see that he was still silent. Thinking about this kind of thing, you can't force it, you can just let it go.

"Take time to rest."

At this time, Napa suddenly raised her head, sniffed at the distance of the dense fog, and said slowly—"The air is beginning to be filled with a smell that makes me very uncomfortable. If I don't take the opportunity to rest, I will I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with those blood races."

Hearing what Napa said, Cream and Suta immediately got up and looked around nervously.Cheese raised his nose hesitantly and sniffed, but then he realized that he was no longer in a strong blood race state, so he could only ask, "Are they here?"

Napa shook her head, "No. But I can smell the stench coming from you vampires. Yes, the smell of rotting corpses can still be smelled even from such a distance. It really stinks."

Although for the cheese, the members of the guild joked about him, and he can already relax.However, he was still a little displeased with the condescending attitude of this cat monster who didn't know its origin, speaking of the Night Clan.

But relying on intuition, Cheese also knew that he was definitely not the cat's opponent, and now he could only hold his breath, and said in a strange way: "Ah! Oh~~~ What a strong urine (harmony) smell, And there's an animal smell. Do you smell it?"

Napa frowned instantly, and immediately stretched out her claws from Ariel's arms to point at Cheese: "Vampire! What do you mean? Who smells like urine (harmony)? I have a good smell every day." I bathe myself! And I don’t smell bad at all! I’m definitely much cleaner than you!”

Ariel laughed, and now she could only persuade the fight a little, and finally calmed down the cat and cheese, and took the time to rest.

After resting for the whole day, Song of the Mermaid set off again, riding the night to the depths of the mountains.They were vigilant all the way, not daring to relax in the slightest, nor did they dare to be careless.

Finally, after walking around midnight...

"Shh-"

Cheese, who was at the front of the line, suddenly stretched out his hand to stop everyone's progress, and his scarlet eyes exuded tension.

With Cheese's reminder, the members of Mermaid Song immediately leaned on the nearby mountain wall as a cover and cheered up.And Ariel also turned the oil lamp in her hand to the brightest at this time, trying her best to let people other than Cheese see the surrounding situation clearly.

Pat - clack clack -

Quiet, a little sound began to be heard in the silent air.

These voices came from all directions, from the front, from the back... Even, when Ariel raised her head, she saw pairs of scarlet eyes staring at her team on the cliff above her head. , in a place where the light of the oil lamp cannot illuminate, slowly approaching the position of everyone...

"coming."

Dak pulled out the double swords at his waist very readily, shook out two sword flowers, and clenched them tightly.

It can be seen that apart from a little nervousness on his face, there is more... a kind of strongly suppressed excitement.

However, not only Duck, but also Cream and Suta are now in high spirits.Suta raised the tower shield in his hand and drew out a mace.Cream clenched the two newly forged short daggers in his hands and gritted his teeth.

"cheese."

Seeing those scarlet pupils getting closer in the night, Ariel called out softly.

The cheese in front nodded, opened his mouth immediately, and said, "(Kindred) Simon? Lincoln? Alucard? Tom? Are you there? It's me, Cheese Belmont, I'm back."

Obviously, those red eyes that were approaching in the darkness suddenly stopped at this moment.

Those eyes that were originally full of killing desire were full of doubts at this moment.The eyes they looked at these "prey" were no longer so fierce, but instead had many questions.

In the darkness, some voices that were somewhat similar to what Cheese said just now began to sound softly.

This should be the language of the Night Clan, right?It's a pity that Ariel can't understand now.

Those voices kept talking, and after a while, there would be a few louder voices coming towards the cheese.The cheese also answered a few words immediately, and then those blood races hidden in the darkness began to discuss in secret again.

"What are they... talking about?"

Ariel put her hand on Cheese's shoulder and asked.

Cheese gritted his teeth and said softly: "They recognized me. But..."

Ariel: "But what?"

"But... they don't seem to have the warm welcome we imagined."

Ariel exhaled and said, "Can we negotiate?"

The cheese shook his head slightly, and clenched his hands tighter: "It's best not to. They seriously warned me not to speak casually, otherwise, they would kill us as traitors."

Ariel was taken aback: "A traitor?"

In this regard, the corner of Cheese's mouth could not help but reveal a helpless smile: "Yeah... the fact that I brought you humans back... seems to make them feel that I have betrayed my compatriots... I have become a traitor, right? ..."

This answer made Ariel's spirit tense all of a sudden!Just when she was about to say something more, cheese suddenly took a step back and stepped on Ariel's toes.

"what happened?"

At this time, the blood clans around who were discussing with each other seemed to have finished their discussion. Their eyes that were still flickering with doubts just now were full of killing desire again, looking at Ariel from the darkness.

"President... run away... I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."

Cheese's voice began to tremble—"They...have already decided that I am a traitor...now they have decided...to dig out my heart as a memorial. Then suck all of your blood dry, good Let's report for a meal..."

"Ka——!!!"

Cheese's voice just fell, suddenly!A terrible roar came from the top of Ariel's head!Immediately afterwards, a shadow rushed out from the darkness, and rushed towards Ariel who looked weakest below!

"Shield of Faith!"

The huge tower shield had been prepared long ago, and a burst of holy light suddenly radiated from the shield. With the power of the tower, it slammed heavily on the swooping vampire, knocking it into the air.
