Chapter 470: Extra Information

I quite liked Lucy's explanation style.

Unlike Archbishop Misa or Sana, who were careful with their words, she was more straightforward and relayed only the important information to me without holding back.

She also didn't hide anything or care if she spoke badly about the church, so I was able to know what the cultists really thought about and not something that was mixed with glorification.

While I was indeed a member of the church and a Paladin, it was a bit annoying if the information was hidden because they didn't want to sully the church's name.

Everything was clear. Her interrogation method was also better than the church, as it seemed like she managed to extract all the information that the instigator had after turning him into a vampire as Mia's subordinate.

'So Mia now gets a skilled Mage to order around, eh? And that Mage knows a heretic technique. It's scary just thinking about it somehow.' I thought as my body shuddered.

A yandere getting a new toy was... not good at all.

'I hope she became tamer after I embraced her that day.' I sincerely prayed to the Goddess. But it seemed to be impossible.

Anyway, it was quite interesting.

"So they are spread into factions, huh?" I asked Lucy as I stroked my chin. "And each faction is led by an Archbishop of the Hell's Cult and five instigators. That means they are not like the church, whose chain of command is clear."

Lucy nodded in confirmation.

"They are also spread between two kingdoms with little to no contact at all. I believe there is a spy in the Sin Kingdom's delegation this time or last time. That's why they began to move."

As expected, she also knew about the ambassador from the Sin Kingdom. It wasn't strange, considering information flew easily in Border City and the news about Queen Eve's coronation was big.

Still, a spy under Duke Blacktomb's entourage? I didn't use <Appraisal> on them because I thought it was unnecessary. It was my mistake.

"They used this chance to exchange information, huh? Could the people who showed up in the barrier at that time be..."

"Most likely, Hell's Cult students or members." Lucy finished my sentence and narrowed her eyes, "Since when?"

"Probably since decades ago." I shrugged my shoulders and leaned back on the soft sofa, "It seems that we need to do some clean-up in our turf first before I ask you to leave that place."

"Leave?" Lucy raised her voice slightly at my words and sounded displeased, "Are you going to drive us out of our home? Even if it's you-"

"Don't misunderstand, Lucy. I did say leave, but I don't say it without reason." I cut off her sentence and glared at her, "I found a place. Rather, I accidentally created a space when I destroyed a mountain with Hell's Cult base a few days ago. It has a nice view and hot spring, perfect for a vacation."

"Huh, wait. Sorry, but I can't process that." The Vampire girl held her head and shook it, looking at me with confusion. "You destroyed a mountain... Accidentally? So the earthquake 4 days ago..."

"That was me, probably." I nodded at her.

"And you spent your time here, having fun... Did you not know how you managed to send all Underground Cities in panic? It's ridiculous."

Yeah, it sounded ridiculous. But that was the truth.

Anyway, I explained my proposal to Lucy, and she listened attentively, although still disturbed by the fact that I destroyed the mountain easily. There was fear hidden in her blood-red eyes now, realizing that I was far stronger than she could expect.

My proposal was simple: to move the Border City and make it a proper town. We could also build an area for Vampire Race that was covered in a barrier to prevent sunlight from entering.

With Queen Eve's reign, it could be said that discrimination would be gone too, albeit not completely. Besides, we could get more profit if we made use of the new location and made it a vacation district.

Obviously, prostitution would be hard to do once we were outside. That was why I also proposed to make a secret entrance and build one near the Vampire district, also covered in that barrier.

Because of its properties, it would also act as a veil to block people from viewing from outside.

"I doubt someone can use magic that long, so I guess we will use a magic item to create the barrier. But... Where can we get such a magic item?"

"What a coincidence," I smirked and took a certain star-shaped game from my inventory. It pulsed strangely, letting out a purple glow every once in a while. "I have one in my hand."

"..." Lucy didn't say anything and took the star-shaped gem from my hand.

She observed it closely, raising it to the ceiling before putting it down on her thighs.

"You really have everything." She commented, "I will talk to Nina and Melissa about this. Regardless of whether I agreed or not, if they don't want to move, then their subordinates will also stay."

"Sure. Tell them that the location of the new city is ideal, near the Capital and Academy City. Also, relay my thanks to Nina. Tell her that I love the costume she gave me, and I'd like to get some again in the future."

Lucy stood up from her chair and looked at me without any expression, "Pervert... Are you planning to continue... Embracing your girls after this?"

"Fiancees." I corrected her and stood up, "If they want to. Also, I will be happy if you join too. How about it?"

"I will refuse your invitation." She refused and turned around. A red tinge was clear on her face. "I feel like I will go crazy the longer I stay in this room."

With that, she jumped out of the balcony and turned into a bat, flying toward the starry sky in the distance.

The wind blew from the open door, entering my room and tickling both my fiancees.

"Hnn..."

I heard Tris moan, and I turned toward the bed. She opened her eyes slowly and raised her body, holding the blanket to cover it.

"Who was it?" She asked curiously, looking at me approaching her.

"Just a stray bat," I answered and sat beside her, pulling her softly into my embrace, "Do you want to sleep again or continue?"

"Hmm..." Humming, she circled her arms around my neck and pulled me close. Our lips touched for a second, and her hot breath hit my face, "More... Let's continue until the morning prayer."

I chuckled at her request, "You've become quite a pervert."

"Thanks to you."

And we continued our love-making session. Eli was woken up thanks to Tris' loud moans and also joined without hesitation.
