Chapter 303 - Extracting Info (1/2)
-----
Jake was convinced incredibly easily! The prestigiousness and rarity of Vampires was of such level that even Natalia who wasn't truly a Vampire was thought to be one, and immediately revered by Jake!
He quickly spilled all the beans so he would get ”rewarded” by his efforts.
”Tell us, have you heard of any giant frog?” asked Nesephise.
”I-I have! There was a giant frog that attacked the abandoned city to northwest from here, it destroyed everything, and it was said that after that, it submerged into the swamp and hasn't been seen ever since then…” he said.
”Are there no news? From which direction did it submerged into the water?” asked Abyss.
”T-There were news that something very big was detected underwater by some Saphibian slaves, something that might be moving to here, although some speculate that it might be moving to the neighboring city instead…” said the human man.
”And you're not doing anything over it?!” asked Belphegor.
”Of course we are! We are trying to sell all the merchandise we got and then get out of here! That frog is a giant divine beast, they say, not even the gods that protect the city can deal with that monster properly!” said the man.
”I see, so you're just running away…” said Natalia.
”W-Well, can the Vampires do something?” asked Jake.
”We can, we are planning to do something… now tell me anything you know about your boss.” Said Natalia.
”D-Don't you know about Faringer-sama or Valen-sama?!” asked Jake.
”I do, but I want to hear what you know about them, answer me, this is very important!” said Natalia.
”W-Well, Valen-sama is a Vampire Duke, they say his power is even higher than Gods themselves. There are various Gods that lead Space Pirate Companies that serve him in here, but he's the strongest, and also the smartest! His business practices and everything related to it are very impressive!” said Jake.
”I see… Anything more about this Valen?” asked Erebus.
”He was given this planet, which was sold by the Supreme Deity of Brightness to the Vampire Family. Since then that he has been improving this planet and making a lot of profit out of it! This is a utopia for us space pirates, there are many business opportunities.” Said the man.
”Improved the planet you say?! Do you have any idea what this bastard did to our planet?! He's been polluting it, extracting its energy, and even enslaving my people and forcing them into all sorts of horrendous works… prostitution, forced mining, the extraction of the soil beneath the swamp ocean… My people are being abused, and used as tools despite having lived here for eons! You dare call this an improvement!?” roared Nesephise.
”Vampire-sama, please calm down your Slave!” cried the man, as he began to tremble in horror over the angered Nesephise.
Abyss quickly hugged Nesephise and calmed her down, moving her away from the room.
