Chapter 479: Correct Choice
I was surprised when in the middle of her story Carla lost consciousness, afraid that something could have happened I asked a Spirit to go get the doctor that we rescued from the castle of the Makari kingdom and who was turned into a Demon.
But before Allan, who was the doctor, finishes seeing why Carla lost consciousness, I feel someone close by coming through the bedroom window.
From the way he reacted, it was easy to assume that it was Carla's husband and the person I'm thinking of hiring, Marcos, the illegal drug dealer.
After Allan returned to the Dungeon through the Spirit portal in my shadow with the help of one of the spirits who had guided him, I spent the rest of the time exchanging a few words with Marcos.
My plan was to let him think about my proposal until tomorrow night, my conditions were both surprising, but all I need to do is change Carla's race to another which would be easy, plus taking them to live in the Shadow Nest would be a must since they will have to come together.
To him, it must seem like a great thing, but for me it would be an easy thing to do, to be honest, I was surprised that he immediately responded to my answer without even thinking about it.
He accepted before he even knew what kind of job I would give him, from what I heard he hates doing all these criminal jobs, but he chose to do it for his wife's sake, I think he also accepted to work for me because of his wife already who said he was able to get her healthy again.
But that at least makes the job easier, now I need to know more about it.
"I'm glad you accepted my proposal." (I)
"Tell me a little about yourself, plus tell me a little about your boat crew too, okay?" (I)
"For you to have managed to find my wife, I'm sure you must already have detailed information about me." (Marcos)
"As you may know, I am an illegal dealer, I take illegal things from one place to another, be it weapons, drugs, money, jewelry, slaves, etc." (Marcos)
"My crew are all slaves, if possible I would like to bring them with me, I can imagine that whatever I have to do, it will be on a boat, right?" (Marcos)
"You're right, but why bother with these slaves? Do you consider them mates?" (I)
"Yeah, the reason they're slaves is because they're all Demis and two of them are even Demons, so slavery was the best shield I could provide them, at least so far." (Marcos)
"Don't you have any prejudice against other races?" (I)
"Neither I, my wife, nor my crew are prejudiced against any race." (Marcos)
"You agreed too quickly to join me, you're even answering my questions, aren't you afraid of the consequences?" (I)
"You're clearly stronger than me, plus you have a Demon that obeys you, if you wanted you could have killed or captured me, but instead you gave me a chance which shows you don't want to hurt me for some reason." (Marcos)
"I'm making a bet, so all I can do is trust my instincts." (Marcos)
"Very well, take this map, meet me with your ship and crew at the appointed place at midnight tomorrow, don't forget to take your wife." (I)
I throw him a map I thought of on the way, the place marked was the beach where we first boarded the ship before coming to this town.
"I will be there." (Marcos)
----------
The next day, midnight.
On a beach five kilometers from the port city of Yrima.
I was waiting on this beach for an hour, I arrived early because I couldn't catch many fish today.
Who are with me are Karina, Irius, Irina, Hela, and Lilith.
I asked Lilith to come over and take a look at these people just in case, I also told everyone to wear masks for now.
After a few more minutes I see a boat coming towards us, when it approaches I see that it was a cargo boat, but it was still 1/3 the size of my ship, maybe even less, this was seen only from the outside, if you consider the inside, so the difference would be the biggest.
Marcos jumps off the boat with his wife in his arms, then takes a bed out of his storage item and places his wife gently on the bed.
Soon after, 6 more people get out of the boat, two Demons, a Ghoul woman, an Oni, a Lizardman, and a man who looked human at first, but had gills on his neck, must be a Thirty.
"What do you think of them, Lilith." (I)
"None of them have an Aura of Vengeance, so I think they're fine, but I feel a lot of hate in the Aura of the man who was carrying the woman before, but that hate is directed at himself." (Lilith)
"..." (I)
While talking to Lilith, Marcos approaches leaving his entire crew and wife a little further behind him.
"We're all here." (Marcos)
<o> ,m "Now!" (I) </o>
"< Illusory Barrier >" (Irina)
Irina raises her hand where a magic crystal is, then the crystal shines creating a great barrier of tens of meters hiding everyone and the boat inside, now no one will see or hear what happens here.
After that I lower my hood and take off my mask, the others do the same taking off their disguises.
"Irina go ask Carla the question." (I)
"Yes father." (Irina)
"What options are you talking about?" (Marcos)
"For her to choose one of the races that Irina will say as her next race." (I)
"I will free all your slaves with my power if you wish, but I must say that everyone affected by my power must be loyal to me." (I)
"That won't be a problem they're loyal to me if I free them from slavery, they also know I'll be loyal to you so they won't resist." (Marcos)
While Irina was talking to Carla I went to the slaves and used my Blood Servi ability on roses for them, it freed them from slavery and strengthened them all.
After that, I go to Marcos who was watching from the side.
"What will you choose? Will you change races like your wife or will you remain Human?" (I)
"If I have the option, then I would like to be of the same race my wife chooses." (Marcos)
After a few minutes of talking, Irina comes back to my side and tells me Carla's answer.
"Your wife has decided to join my family as a Vampire, do you still intend to follow the same path as her?" (I)
"Yea!" (Marcos)
"Very well then, they are yours, Irina and Irius!" (I)
"Yes father!" (Irina/Irius)
Irius comes to Marcos to receive him as his son as he was with Nolan in the past, meanwhile, Irina returns to Carla to receive her as her daughter as she was with Alice in the past.
