Chapter 462 461. Ancient Creatures
“I choose to believe Regis.”
Lane and Dettlaff were staring at each other’s eyes from beginning to end, motionless.
The hesitation and stiffness of either of the two will be keenly grasped by the other.
What follows is suspicion, distrust, and then the conversation collapses.
But fortunately, neither of the two showed any of these suspicious emotions.
Lan En then emphasized again.
"I believe in Regis' ability and loyalty to his friends, but this has nothing to do with you, high vampire, Mr. Dettlaff."
With that said, Lan stood up from the ground, He patted the floating dust stuck to his cotton armor jacket with his hand.
“I think I already know what to do with you.”
Regis stood aside and bowed slightly to him.
But that gesture was more like a casual joke and teasing between friends than a ritualistic salute.
Regis is not a person who puts on airs, and his gentle words are more impressive than his etiquette.
"Oh! I'm deeply honored for your trust."
"Come on!" Lan En's face showed deliberate impatience, and he waved his hand as if to drive away . "Don't speak in an aria, your voice is not suitable for this."
Although Gede still had doubts on his face, he also walked over, and the three of them began to discuss how to deal with the high-level vampires in the cage outside the mine.
"We can't kill him, and Regis can't commit murder among their tribe and become a murderer."
Lan crossed his arms and said, First set the tone for this small meeting.
“And strengthen the suppression circle left by Anahad. Even excluding the cost of collecting materials, we also know that the dwarves of Heinburg do not want to come again every few decades. . They will not admit that this is a mission accomplished."
Regis stood aside, still holding the strap of his shoulder bag with his hands, like a country tax collector.
There wasn't much worry on his face, because he probably already knew Lan En's attitude towards Dettlaff.
Gede slapped his mouth, then scratched his re-shaved chin, with a conflicted expression on his face.
"Okay, after all, there is only one plan that will work. Although we demon hunters often release some harmless monsters in missions, high-level vampires... Tsk, I have to say , my world view has been impacted.”
Lan En patted Ged’s shoulder in relief.
“The world is changing today, and it’s changing faster and faster. It’s better to adapt sooner rather than later.”
"You don't need 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 was okay with it.
This means all three of them agree.
Lan En nodded, glanced into the mine and said.
"Then we have only one choice left - let Dettlaff go."
Ged and Regis both nodded.
Lan En looked at Regis seriously and changed his tone.
"But I won't let him go just for nothing, do you understand, Regis?"
Regis's brows frowned.
“What do you mean?”
"You saw from your telepathy that Dettlaff was a good man. I trust you, so I don't doubt it. But you also saw that he killed an entire village because of his anger."
Lan En He said calmly. "The people in that village deserved their crimes, but there must have been innocent people killed. And Dettlaff's actions came out of his anger driven by his own moral values, and he was chopped into pieces and imprisoned for more than a hundred years because of his actions. . For the time being, I think he was punished and served his sentence. There is no doubt about it."
"The only problem is: we have to make sure that he does not turn against the people who imprisoned him. Revenge. "
" Fortunately for the Bear School, Anahad has long since disappeared, and Hainkawehe has long since disappeared, not even a mouse. "
"But what about the dwarves' Heinburg? They hired us to handle the task. We can't release a murderer for them because of this, both emotionally and rationally."
"Dettlaff didn't think about it. Revenge! He is a good man!"
Regis frowned and explained.
But Lan En spoke in a calm to cold tone.
"The promise is empty, and your understanding of him is limited to the telepathy at this moment. Regis, the word 'good man' cannot be used as effectiveness. I need an effective measure, To make sure Dettlaff doesn't do something like that."
Regis's expression became more complicated than ever before.
Ever since Lan En met this gentle and friendly high-level vampire, this was the first time he saw Regis's expression like this.
He knew that Lan En was right, it was very necessary to ensure that the prisoners could not retaliate against the prisoners.
He even has a feasible plan to ensure that Dettlaff will not commit any crimes against Hainburgh in the future.
But it is this plan that has him so entangled now.
"I think he has swallowed a big pile of blue cheese."
Ged complained about Regis' current expression. Lan En has never seen it, let alone him. Speak.
“It’s not like he’s swallowing blue cheese raw.” The young man also muttered to Ged. “I think he’s more like walking on a tightrope at 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 are right, Lan En. My plan is like walking a tightrope at the mouth of an active volcano. It is dangerous and fatal. Even for a creature like me."
"Can you tell me?"
Lan asked tentatively, but what he got was a wry smile from Regis.
“I will take Dettlaff to meet an ancient creature. That creature is of supreme majesty to us. As long as he says something, we must do it word for word. My whole body will tremble just by imagining that it will disturb his peace."
"What is that that makes you senior vampires tremble?"
Gede's curious question is still there. Before he could finish asking, Lan En reached out and grabbed his shoulder, interrupting him.
"No, Gede. Stop asking."
Lan En's voice was very soft, but at the same time very determined, and Gede's curiosity died down.
Young people’s understanding of the world is not broad, but deep. Because he has come into contact with many existences deep in the world.
If the creature in Regis's words was one of them, then he thought it would be better not to inquire further.
After grabbing Gede, Lan turned his head and looked at Regis.
"You go to see that creature, and then what?"
"Then I will look at him and swear an oath in front of that creature, swearing that I will never retaliate against the dwarves of Heinburg for more than a hundred years of imprisonment. Don't worry, even the most daring among us will not dare to break our promise." "In that case," Lan En nodded. No problem, let Dettlaff out.”
