It was indeed the right choice not to kill this woman directly. Victor just needed information about Albert.
However, the information revealed by Eredin seems to be more complicated.
In this mysterious modern castle, there may be other forces entangled in it.
"Okay, tell me all the clues you know about Albert." Victor glanced at several towers of the castle. The direction of the banquet hall was still so lively and brightly lit.
Eredin thought for a while and finally frowned, saying that she didn't know much: "He is the son of the owner of the castle and a seer. That's all I know."
After hearing this, Victor turned around and asked again: "Who is his father?"
"I only met his father once, and I didn't even remember his name."
Hearing this, Victor remembered that Eredin appeared with two bat-winged demons at the same time, so he changed the topic: "What happened to those bat-winged demons?"
"It has nothing to do with me. I'm not raising them."
Eredin rejected it outright, but Victor didn't believe such an obvious lie.
"Oh? But from what I have observed, you cooperate quite well with those monsters."
"During hundreds of years of fighting against monsters, demon hunters have developed many magical potions. Among them, there is a type of drug that will make bat-winged demons mistake them for their own kind."
This explanation comes from Eredin's self-justification, but Victor knows very well that Albert can also take the bat-winged demons with him without being attacked by them.
"Does Albert also have such a potion? Did you give it to him?"
"Huh? That person? I don't know, but from the information I know, the bat-winged demon should be raised by someone in Turbulent Castle."
"Albert?"
"Who knows...maybe it's his father, or maybe..."
"who is it?"
"It's that woman."
"who?"
As the interrogation deepens, Victor feels that he is uncovering a very big secret.
"Didn't you see the overwhelming propaganda on the streets of Lilqua?"
Eredin sneered, Victor stared at her face, and immediately remembered what the banquet was for tonight.
The owner of Turbulent Castle was about to marry a woman. Victor initially focused all his attention on the Davis family and ignored the woman who was about to marry the owner of the castle.
If the creators of the living dead are the Davis family, then the woman who married him must have an unusual background and be very mysterious.
"Well...how much do you know about that lady?"
"I don't know much about it..." Eredin pouted.
Victor couldn't help complaining: "Still not much? But you have actually said a lot."
"Oh, really?" Eredin pretended to be innocent, "I'm just telling you what I know, that's all."
"How well do you know your own employer?"
"I don't know. They are very mysterious. They don't contact me through face-to-face meetings. Albert is a middleman, explaining the organization's requirements to me and then paying me."
Victor waved his hand and returned to the previous topic: "Forget it, let's talk about that woman, the one who got married."
Eredin pondered for a moment, then continued to raise her chin and answered very calmly: "I heard that she is a real vampire."
"Vampire?" Victor frowned immediately.
"That's right, maybe let's put it another way - a high-level blood descendant."
After Eredin finished speaking, he saw that Victor was deep in thought, so he smiled with satisfaction: "There is a lack of information, right? Your Anti-Suppression Department has sent so many people here, do you still want to kill the Davis family and that organization?"
Victor stretched out his hand to stop her speech and asked seriously: "Aren't you unfamiliar with her? How do you know that she is a high-level vampire?"
Upon hearing this, Eredin chuckled and replied: "If you don't use magic potions, the bat-winged demons will only succumb to their superior race. Do you know how these ugly things were born? Yes, they are using it.
In other words, the high-level Vampires are their superior race, do you understand?"
What Eredin means is that the Davis family's method of controlling the bat-winged demon is different from hers, and the other party is probably using the blood of a high-level vampire.
According to the intelligence, the Davis family has no connection with the last generation of demigods, so the woman who married the owner of the castle is very likely to be a high-level blood descendant.
Victor took a deep breath and realized that he seemed to be in a dangerous place.
But no matter what, he had no way out, he had to find Albert.
So, he lifted Eredin up, loosened the rope around her ankles but not around her wrists, and ordered her to lead the way.
"Don't use any crooked ideas. Do you still remember the explosion of fire just now?" Victor threatened the other party.
Eredin shrugged: "I guess you want me to take you to find someone."
"Albert." Victor didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Eredin chuckled softly: "I don't know where he is. Maybe he is dancing ballroom with the guests in the banquet hall above. There are people there. Do you want me to take you up?"
Victor frowned, and after thinking for a while, he changed the topic to other places, such as...the problem of the living dead.
After he mentioned this word, you could see Eredin's face fluctuating a little, probably thinking of something.
"Well...the ones you mentioned are called 'untouchables' by the people in Lilqua here."
The answer he received was not unexpected. Turbulent Castle was indeed related to the living dead. Victor continued to press: "Where are the dead people hidden?"
After hearing this, Eredin stepped hard on the ground under her feet, then looked at Victor with a smile: "Did you hear that?"
Victor felt the slight vibration under his feet, as if there was a huge engine buried in the deep pit under Turbulence Castle.
"That's the vibration of machinery, the rotation of gears, the roar of steam, the heat of the gas engine..." Eredin made a metaphor, and then answered bluntly, "They are down here."
Victor understood that there was a cave in the deep pit under the castle. Thinking back to the scene of the living dead digging coal in the cave, the appearance under the Turbulent Castle might exceed everyone's imagination.
There is always a way down, and if the real kingdom of death is buried underground, then the Davis family that controls them should be keeping an eye on it.
Albert doesn't know where he is, but now it seems he might be down here too.
The living dead, bat-winged demons, giant sandworms, these shady things are most likely hidden underground.
"Then lead the way! It sounds like you should go down there." Victor put his hand on Eredin's back and ordered her to move forward.
"You are really not afraid of death...handsome guy." Under this situation, the white-haired female demon hunter was still in a provocative mood.
Victor did not respond, but sneered: "If I don't find that guy, I will really die when he thinks of me one day."
