40 Dark September (1/2)
”Ts. But that's enough for us now. Even if you help only occasionally it would be a great deal because of your strength.”
Said Eto with a rather disappointed voice. She wanted for Lucien to help Aogiri in a more active way and not only when the situation is dire. But it was still better than nothing at all.
”Now when will the first batch of materials arrive and where could I pick them up?”
He was clear that they won't be delivering him bodies of ghoul to the house like some kind of delivery service. In the case of quinques, it could still be done cause they could have retreated to their form of suitcases or another form which are easier to transport around.
”Bodies and quinques would be ready on the first day of each month, here at the 24th Ward.”
This time it was Arima speaking. Lucien nodded his head and then they talked about the detail of cooperation between them. This talk took more than several hours to finish. Most of the talk was about various strategies against the Commission of Counter Ghoul.
Some of them again was in the case when Vasuki would join this ”war” to hunt for members of Aogiri. And the last discussion was about method how to bring more ghouls to the organization. Eto wanted to spread the name of the One-Eyed King and him being the liberator of the ghoul race. But this was nearly impossible in the current state, cause Arima was current One-Eyed King and probably no ghoul would follow most notorious and strongest ghoul investigator as their king.
Lucien knew that soon the perfect candidate would appear and Eto's and Arima's would change again to another course.
Before he left he gave Eto that blood essence to eat. It was blood essence refined from ordinary ghoul so it wasn't very effective but like said before, this thing was a precious treasure to ordinary ghouls who can't find any way to increase their RC Level.
=============================================
Lucien picked up the first batch of quinques and bodies of ghouls, for this month which was already, we could say stored, in the 24th Ward. To be truthful the 24th Ward for something like a junkyard for ghouls. They dumped here bodies of other ghouls, remains of killed people or quinques. Here no ghoul investigator was brave enough to come so it was a relatively safe place.
Lucien currently had 37 B-rated quinques and 12 A-rated quinques. Somewhere from killed ghoul investigators and some were stolen by the collaborator of Aogiri Tree inside of CCG. These things were little darlings in Lucien's eyes cause they could increase the grade of his Blood-Essence Sacred Refining Furnace.
Bodies of dead ghouls were astonishing. Exactly hundred and fifty, but most of them were only B-rated ghouls. But it was still a nice number. Lucien decided to refine them by ten to achieve somewhat strong blood essence. He would give Aogiri Tree, three or four of them and keep rest for himself.
He returned to his estate. He wasn't in hurry to refine everything he gained today, because he was still thinking about one thing. Meeting with Arima. That person looked so calm and in a certain way harmless. Like an ordinary person, but his instincts were telling him that he is extremely dangerous for the entire time.
From Eto, he had another impression. Hot, mischievous and hidden sadist and dangerous too. Lucien laid on his bed and closed his eyes slowly. He was thinking about the future because soon the game would start and war would break out.
