Chapter 279 - 278 - New continent / New home – Part 2.
(Huh…. I though it would be some sort of underground castle…. Buts its not? Its an entire underground system…..) – though Phantasia as he walked around in the underground city alongside the rest of the group while fallowing their guide.
"So is it like under this city alone? Or is this underground stretching all across the kingdom overground?" – asked Doctor.
"Yes, but for more details, please ask the person in charge." – said the long black haired woman as she led the group straight to the castle.
The group walked up to the giant underground castle where the two guards stepped aside and let the group entered the castle ground.
"…."
(Wow…. This castle is really fuking big…. I mean, I saw some other giant castle when I wandered around different kingdoms, but I think this is the biggest one yet!) – though Thanatos.
(And the entire fuking thing is underground? How the hell did they fit it in here?)
The group walked through the castle front door before then starting to walk through the castle corridors.
"?"
"Who is that wierdo?"
"I don't know, but they all are wearing mask?"
"…. I guess the king must had brough somebody he catched interesting, is he planning on turning them into vampires?"
The whispers and stares had been fixed at the at the group as they walked around.
"…."
"Here." – said the black haired woman as she led the group to pair of doors, before then opening them and revealing an wide guest room where there was "Kid" sitting down on one of the couches.
"Sup. You here." – said "Kid" while making an hand gesture for the group to sit down on the opposite couch.
Doctor nodded his head and the group did as the "Kid" said while the black haired woman closed the doors, before then walking to the "Kid" side.
"Well then, welcome to my kingdoms." – said "Kid".
"What is your first impression?"
"Yea…. How big is this place?" – asked curios Hunter.
"I mean, giant underground, that maybe bigger than city above it and there is also this castle that is like what? 2 or 3 times bigger in size than castle above?"
"This woman told us that the kingdom stretches though the kingdom above ground, is that true?"
"Yeb. The entire kingdom above ground is right above my entire kingdom." – said "Kid".
"By the way, if you are about to ask about the size, then straight answer, its straight downwards, so it's quiet bigger than kingdom above."
"Not only that, but we don't need the kingdom above to survive, we have our own special farms that are enough to feed off our people and when it comes to the blood, we can easily get from the kingdom above, without having to make any big mess."
"Oh…. Well, that is interesting." – said Hunter.
"I glad to hear that." – said "Kid".
"Anyway, regarding the whole you moving in, I want to hear about what kind of location you want exactly."
"…."
"Before we start talking about business and all, I want to know something." – said Doctor.
"Is there something you want from me? I want an answer, like do you want me try and research something?"
"Knowing you, there is something you want from me and I doubt it's the bikes alone."
"…."
"Well, that was quiet obvious, if I'm being honest." – said "kid".
"Yeb. I'm aiming for something."
"You may or may not had guessed it, but the hell, heaven and spirits, the outside realms that are trying to conquer and destroy this world in order to create it in their image are the organization enemies."
"However, the organization itself its's exactly united, but also are completely united."
"Probably once the parasite invaders are destroyed and had been completely banished, an war will probably occur where the once friends of the organization."
"However, to make sure we wouldn't murder each other or backstab each other, we are currently affected by the special contract that cannot be breaker, no matter how strong or tricky we are."
"We are forced to be allies, even if we hate each other guts to the point we wouldn't mind committing mass genocide in order to kill one another."
"So, even if we hate each other, we all had joined in this alliance to deal with the invaders, while also working together."
"However, once the threat is over, like I said, there is an likely chance that many of the so called "Allies" will begin murdering each other."
"But the organization isn't just an alliance, its an powerful organization that was build and can operate on its own. Not only that, but it can be also an tool for those in power to use, me for example."
"Alliances, deals, politics and all other stuff. The organization can help out in creating true allies while also helping you out in growing your own nations."
"In order words, you let those guys use you, while you are also using them to grow stronger."
"An mutual relationship that is extremely beneficial."
"But also dangerous, since you would be fighting the invaders from another realm and the kingdoms that believe them to be their gods." – said Doctor.
"Exactly." – said "Kid".
"…"
"Okay, I won't say that I'm not interested…. Since there seems to be some schemes going on." – said Doctor.
"But now here is the question. Why I should work for "you" specifically, instead for the organization?"
"Don't take me wrong, but the rewards that the organization can offer isn't something that can be easily ignored."
"Not only that, but did you forgotten that the organization had given me the "researcher" benefit?"
"If I were to give you all my research data, won't the organization think of me lazing around?"
"I WOULD have to give them some of my achievements or sell them some special items I had made."
"So tell me, o king of vampires. What are you planning on doing with me?"
"Hm…. Great question." – said "Kid".
"First thing first. You do realize you would need to take sides during the war after?"
"Your abilities are now known through the organization and who wouldn't want you as an weapon on their side?"
"Plague. Monsters. Dungeon."
"Not only that, but you are researchers, an genius of an age."
"Sorry buddy, but you are too valuable to be left alone."
"Some will try to recruit you, while some will try and destroy you."
"An chaos will be after your head and I'm offering you an way out of this."
"True. You will be forced to choose, but it's better to choose sides before the end of the war and right now I'm offering you an good and high ranking position in case of the war after the war would had happened."
"Not only that, but after the organization destroys the enemy, who will be the ones paying you?"
"And finally, you need somebody who can trust you once all that shit went down."
"…."
(True…. All 3 points he had made does make sense.) – though Phantasia.
(Not only that, but thanks to him, I had also learned a lot of interesting informations regarding the organization...)
"…."
"Wait, is the organization an "alliance"? Or maybe there is somebody leading the organization?" – asked Doctor.
"That is the thing I cannot tell." – said "Kid".
"…. Contract?" – asked Doctor, but the "Kid" did not given any replies, signaling that the answer was "yes".
"…."
(Why he can't tell who is in charge?)
(Is somebody above him?)
(…. If the organization wasn't an alliance formed by the different groups of people, then who was the person that had formed it?)
(And what is their goal?)
(Obviously, they cannot be really good guys, since the shit that the vampires had pulled was inhuman. Especially during the Rose Tower operation where they slaughtered countless people, even those who were not manipulated, all in order to pin the blame on the gods.)
(These guys are bastards. The entire organization is probably the same way.)
(By any means necessary, they will destroy the gods and cut the connections to their realms, even if they have to slaughter millions of the innocent lifes that does not know the truth.)
"…."
"Hm…."
(The question is…. Should I join the vampires?)
(I'm benefit from the wars. I'm getting both money and materials.)
(I can create weapons and servants, while also securing necessary materials to possible upgrade my own body or even create dungeons.)
(This bastard is greedy and he will be definitely involved in some wars later on. He even wants to recruit me and that proves even more that he does not plan on stopping with his warpath.)
(Working with this guy could be beneficial…. But the question is, are the vampires even the top 10 in terms of strength in the organization ranking?)
(I'm not saying that the "vampires are weak", since I saw only portion of their main power, but they were able to play an key role in the last war.)
(Vampires are not weak, but the question is whenever they are or not the top dogs of the organization.)
"…."
(Still…. Forming an solid alliance with somebody that can trust me and droll over me with their greed…. It is an good plan.)
(But the problem is that the moment I join hands with him, I will obviously also get the "Kid" enemies as well.)
(So is the risk worth it?)
"…."
"Ah…. Screw the risk. Lets talk." – said Doctor.
"Oh? So, you are joining?" – asked smiling "Kid".
"Not yet, but I can't say I'm not interested." – said Doctor.
"So, convince me."
