Gray narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing the Soul Returner before him:
"Although this matter has nothing to do with me, are you sure you want to do this? Let me remind you, the risks of controlling intelligent Blood Corpse are actually very high. One wrong move and you might fall into their trap."
Gray pointed to his head:
"Take Bennett for example. Even today, he occasionally pulls some tricks, but I always manage to catch him. But on the other hand, how many of his tricks have I not noticed?"
"To control Blood Corpse, you must take this risk. We can win countless times, but if we lose just once, we lose everything."
Seeing Gray's solemn expression, the Soul Returner nodded quite seriously as well:
"Thank you for reminding me. We've already decided to do it this way and have made some preparations. If nothing unexpected happens, the captured vampire count will never appear in the residential area, just as your fortress will not be built in the most bustling area of Great Labyrinth City."
Gray hadn't expected that the Soul Returner in front of him knew some of the Great Labyrinth City's rules. To ensure the safety of pedestrians, the Great Labyrinth City did indeed have a rule that all mobile fortresses could only travel in the wide outer city.
However, the affairs of the inner city were none of his concern, so he didn't care much about this rule.
Looking at the resolute expression of the Soul Returner before him, Gray sighed and said:
"It seems you've already made up your minds. It's not that I don't want to rent the vampires to you, but I need to make the pros and cons clear."
"Since you're ready, let's sign the contract."
Gray invited everyone into the empty first floor of the fortress, found a table, and began to draft the contract.
His hand, holding the charcoal pencil, moved swiftly across the yellowed paper, as he gave instructions to the Soul Returner before him:
"I just told you to be careful, but there's another thing: don't let my vampire get hurt, or I'll deduct part of your deposit."
"Okay, don't worry, we've come up with a very comprehensive plan. Even if we all die, your vampire will be sent back alive."
Gray looked up at the Soul Returner and felt that what he was saying was very unreliable.
If they were all dead, would Bennett have wheeled himself back?
Unless he enjoys being electrocuted, or is so hungry that he drains his brain, Gray simply cannot understand why the Soul Returner is so confident.
However, there were still many things he couldn't understand. Considering the Soul Returner ' authority on outrageous matters, he didn't pursue the matter further. Instead, he quickly drafted the lease agreement and signed his name Gray Gris, in the "Party A" section.
He pushed the contract in front of the leader of the Soul Returner and said:
"The rental period is three days, one gold coin per day, and the deposit is five gold coins. Believe me, this is far less than the true value of this vampire."
The Soul Returner took the contract, glanced at it, and while signing it, didn't forget to reply to Gray:
"A very fair price, thank you for the discount."
Gray glanced again at the excited Soul Returner behind him, and, adhering to the principle of being cautious beforehand and prudent afterward, added:
"To be on the safe side, if you're renting together, everyone needs to sign."
That wasn't a problem; the Soul Returner quickly signed in with his player ID: [ Soaring Clouds ].
His followers followed suit, signing their IDs one by one: [ Soaring Clouds 2828 ], [ Soaring Clouds 3773 ], [ Soaring Clouds 6365 ], [ Soaring Sky 3638 ]...
Gray took the contract, glanced at it, and then scratched his head in confusion.
Judging solely from the format of their names, these Soul Returner, whose heights, builds, and even hair colors are completely different, seem to belong to... the same family lineage?
So the one with the simplest name should be their... patriarch?
Those Soul Returner are truly amazing...
Five minutes later, Soaring Sky Studio's boss, Soaring Clouds, and his group of underlings joyfully pushed a wheelchair out of Gray's mobile fortress.
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles, except for Bennett looked ashen-faced upon learning of his next task.
Several months had passed since his arrest, and despite the supply of nutrients, Bennett had inevitably become thin.
Because the food these people gave him was always the flesh and blood of wild beasts in the wilderness. Some of this flesh and blood was not very nutritious, and some was so Aberration that even Blood Corpse would not dare to eat it. It can only be said that Gray's small fortress crew was good in every way, except that the food was a bit low-standard.
But he wasn't one of those ordinary people who would be thrown away once he was worn out. Despite being somewhat malnourished, Bennett's Blood Corpse skills had become increasingly refined due to his fear of being electrocuted, and he had become a true chief engineer.
The group marched eastward toward Valhalla in high spirits. [ Soaring Clouds 2828 ] stepped forward and asked:
"Boss, how exactly are we going to capture the Blood Corpse Blood Corpse? I feel like it's too risky, and what if we accidentally lose it..."
[ Soaring Clouds ] turned around and patted his shoulder:
"Dude, I wasn't bragging. Even if we die today, we're definitely not going to lose this count title!"
Don't worry, I've already arranged everything.
As he spoke, he pointed towards the open field ahead, where everyone could see what appeared to be a rather large insect resting on the melting snow. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was an enormous Soldier Bee wasp, almost 1.5 times the size of a normal Soldier Bee wasp.
And sitting on the waist of that Soldier Bee at that moment was [ Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows ], the best pilot in all of Valhalla.
Upon seeing this, [ Soaring Sky 3638 ] immediately became excited:
"Hey, it's you! Long time no see, buddy!"
He knew Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows because they had been assigned to the same flight crew during the recent revenge operation in Fir City.
[ Autumn Light and Osmanthus Shadows ] is a pilot, while [ Soaring Sky 3638 ] is an advanced biological guided missile.
In the midst of conversation, [ Soaring Sky 3638 ] had already arrived beside the Soldier Bee, carefully observing this large creature and marveling at it:
"This one is much bigger than the last one, and it's definitely strong. It might even be able to carry four or five people."
[ Soaring Clouds 2828 ] looked at the boss [ Soaring Clouds ] with excitement upon seeing this:
"Boss, I was wondering why you were so calm, turns out you chartered a plane for us! You're so generous!"
Several other studio players echoed this sentiment:
"The boss is generous! The boss is in good health!"
However, Soaring Clouds, the boss, was not pleased with the flattery from his employees; instead, he looked puzzled.
"What charter flight? What kind of flight?"
He pointed to Bennett in the wheelchair in front of him and explained to everyone:
"Don't even think about it, this is for someone else to sit on."
Upon seeing this, several employees of Soaring Sky Studio made their own finger-pointing emojis:
"What about us, boss?"
"Stop talking nonsense, of course we'll walk there."
