The next day I get up with a smile on my face still remembering yesterday’s fun day.
I decided to sleep on the ship while we are in this city, it gives a feeling of sleeping away from home as if I were sleeping in an inn or something, it gives a better feeling of being on vacation.
After getting up I clean myself and get ready before leaving the room, this ship also has a mess hall on the second floor above, I go up there and find the same chaos I see in restaurants.
Everyone is laughing, talking, fighting, and being loud, I’m used to that as I see it every day, I walk over to the table and dodge along the way while Anton was thrown by his wife.
I sit down and start talking to Karina who is still stunned by this scene even after weeks of traveling.
After eating everyone splits up, but Nira and Lilian come to me to give me reports on what they’ve been doing.
I took the two of them to a room where there were already some comfortable sofas we could sit on.
I let Nira speak first since she could guess what she was about.
Just as I imagined, Nira gave me the report on the sales of the products that we had placed inside this ship since the Dungeon.
After that Nira gives me the report of the things she bought and the things she ordered, it was a report that according to her I need to hear as the leader of the City of Shadows.
After listening to Nira for almost an hour, it was Lilian’s turn, what could this Vampire spy achieve in one night?
“Master, I have obtained information from all possible ship captains, ranging from those who have a renowned reputation to those who have an infamous name.” (Lilian)
Lilian hands me a list of more than ten pages.
“Everyone on this list has excellent navigation skills, I discarded those who didn’t have enough skills from the list.” (Lilian)
“I also collected superficial information about each one.” (Lilian)
I flip through the papers and am surprised by the dozens of names written here, then I see the “surface information” that Lilian was talking about.
“You call that superficial information?” (I)
“Here is written their names, races, ages, description of their appearance, their crimes (if they have committed any) and brief information about their families.” (I)
“More still missing the statuses, go formations about their pasts and a more detailed description about their families.” (Lilian)
“That will be enough for me, I’ll take a look at your list for a bit, then I’ll choose who the candidate for captain of the ship is.” (I)
“You did an excellent job, you can rest now.” (I)
After talking to both of them I spend some time reading the information Lilian has gathered, I should say that they all seem to be good options, but I kept thinking until I got between two people, they were both criminals.
The first was the leader of a pirate group, he had leadership skills and was very talented at sailing the ocean.
The second was a dealer, he transported anything from drugs to slaves, his crew were slaves by the information we have, in addition, there is even information that states that he went to the Dark Continent.
I stayed between the two until I realized something very important, they say that this drug dealer always appears in the city, it seems that the soldiers always try to capture him, he has appeared in the city hundreds of times, but seeing the places where he was seen, I realized something.
I grab a map of the city and start marking the spots where he’s been seen.
“Just as I thought…” (I)
“I think we already have our choice.” (I) .

A few days later:
It’s been a week since we arrived in this city, that means the day has come to release those people I don’t want inside the Dungeon, during these days I already know where the orphanage is to leave the children and I already know where I can leave the adults.
I don’t want people with meaningless prejudices in my Dungeon, I also don’t want people who don’t want to stay, everyone has the right to make their own decisions.
I spent the day drinking several bottles of Monster Blood as if it were water, I was doing this to have their bloodlines so I’ll be able to put them in the Dungeon in the future so there’s no shortage of fish.
I have been drinking dozens of bottles of fish blood a day, during the day, more precisely in the late afternoon, Kira gives me the information I asked for, when I read it it was easy to understand everything.
I spent the rest of my day thinking until nightfall, then me and Nix go out of the dungeon and throw people out of the dungeon, after that we give them a certain potion that will mix with the potion they’ve been taking in The last few years, it should erase their memories of when they were in the Dungeon and about us.
Besides, even if they remember something, it will just be a vague unimportant thing, they didn’t know anything old age worth saying about us.
I left them outside the city with some Fairies and Spirits protecting them from the shadows until dawn and they went home.
Before you brought these adults here and dumped them here, before we got here we had already skimmed through the orphanages and left the children who took the potion earlier to erase their memories of us.
All I did was knock the children unconscious in front of the orphanage and knock on the door, but just in case I also let a Spirit take care of them before I came here to take care of these adults.
Each adult has 5 silver coins, what happens to them now is none of my business.

Some hours later.
When I was fishing Vanessa and Irina came to talk to me.
“Tell me it’s no longer a problem for me to solve?” (I)
“It’s not a problem for you to solve anymore, Father.” (Irina)
“Serious?” (I)
“Of course not.” (Vanessa)
“But it’s also nothing too serious.” (Irina)
“You left the new residents with me to take care of them and make sure they’re adjusting to life inside the Dungeon.” (Vanessa)
“As it was a lot of work for me, I asked Irina for help.” (Vanessa)
Sigh
“Alright, what’s the problem now?” (I)
“Actually it’s more of a report of what’s happening, the problem is solving itself.” (Irina)
“In the last few weeks, as you can imagine, the women of the Dungeon have been going after the men and some women.” (Irina)
“As these new residents are very weak and some have no training, they weren’t able to do anything about it.” (Irina)
“At first the men didn’t care, in fact, some even looked happy.” (Vanessa)
“At least until they realized their bodies couldn’t handle it, it’s now become a survival game for them.” (Vanessa)
“Did they go for help?” (I)
“No, they’re too proud for that, they’ve started joining the morning training, plus they’ve been very diligent in their training.” (Irina)
“Who came to talk eaten were the women who seem to be also being targets of the women of the Dungeon, the men of the Dungeon, on the other hand, seem to be being very good trying to conquer the new women, in fact, an Oni is already dating.” (Vanessa)
“So the problem is already solved, just as we wanted, this environment in the Dungeon forces villagers to train and interact between different races.” (I)
“Yes, but just a few weeks or months of training won’t be enough for them to become strong enough to escape the hunt.” (Vanessa)
“Don’t worry about it, women aren’t so bad either, they will know how to control themselves when they see that someone can’t stand it anymore, so just let it happen, it will be an incentive to get stronger.” (I)
