Chapter 240: Promise
"Thanks for the compliment, but I didn't come to you to hear that." Tang Bai smiled, compared with a civilization with a mature system and a chaotic and unstructured civilization, the foundation and starting point will be much simpler, easier, and more solid and stable. Magical control, this is the most fundamental and fundamental discipline in Harry's world. Even wizards who have not yet graduated from Hogwarts are able to do this to this extent. Not surprising at all.
"What do you want to hear?" Lilia glanced at Tang Bai cautiously.
Even if she saw Tang Bai's attitude towards Claes and believed that he would not hurt Claes and really wanted to accept Claes as a disciple, but in a hurry, Lilia still didn't have much trust in Tang Bai. You know, this is their first meeting. It's not easy to develop absolute trust in such a short period of time.
Not to mention the words and deeds that Tang Bai has always shown, which makes Lilia secretly uneasy and unpredictable. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to talk about the so-called establishment of solid trust between the two sides. For Tang Bai's words, Lilia had to filter and question once or twice in her heart before answering according to the situation.
"A lot." Tang Bai comfortably sunk his body into the soft and wide backrest behind him, which was large enough to accommodate him, "Klaus's interpersonal relationship here, and the werewolf's place of residence here. Everything you know, I want to know. ”
"So you're just trying to get some information from me this time?" Lilia was somewhat sure of what Tang Bai meant.
"That's it. If you say it, I will save a lot of effort and trouble. Tang Bai nodded calmly. You have lived here for generations, and you yourself are a member of the city's Occult Balance Committee. You're right with Klaus, and the lots of supernatural creatures here. Even humans know a lot more than most. ”
Tang Bai leaned forward slightly, bowed his head slightly, and said, "I need to know this." ”
"Why do you think I'm going to tell you everything I know? What is the knowledge of everything? Lilia smiled, "We don't even have much trust between us, and if something happens, you can leave the city and avoid other places, but we can't leave here." ”
"Come on, Lilia, you don't believe that." Tang Bai waved his hand mockingly, as if he was driving away a non-existent mosquito: "Since I left you, except for standing firmly on my side." There's no way back for you. Unless Klaus is willing to forgive you for hiding it from Claes, the past will not be investigated, and you will be given another chance. Otherwise, the consequences are obvious. ”
"I can tell you anything you want to know, and you can get my help. But it comes at a cost, and you can't just sit back and enjoy everything and give nothing. Lilia, who was bluntly poked by Tang Bai, was silent for a moment, raised her head and looked at Tang Bai without avoidance.
"What do you want?" Tang Bai put the half-full cup aside and crossed his hands. Pressed against his lower abdomen, he asked as he met Lilia's gaze.
"Two promises." Lilia held out two white jade fingers.
"Tell me about it." Tang Bai's face was noncommittal.
Lilia, who was made nervous by Tang Bai's demeanor, secretly calmed down, but her face was as usual on her gorgeous face, and no uneasy worry was ever revealed: "First." You'll have to keep the witches under my command safe in this city. Don't say no, you have the ability. ”
"How long is the protection? Ten years or a hundred years? Is protection needed in every situation, or is it limited to certain circumstances? You know there's no way I'm going to say yes. It's even more unlikely that I'll give that promise. Tang Bai shook his head decisively.
It's not that Tang Bai is unwilling to give Lilia a guarantee, it's just according to what Lilia said. It's not a good promise.
Indeed, promised. As long as you get what you want, you can regret it, but this kind of behavior is quite hurtful. I believe that the witches who will gather here in the future will not be happy that their leader is a person who does not believe in his word, right? It is true that there are many solutions to this situation, but Tang Bai has a backhand, who knows if Lilia and they will also have an unknown backhand?
So it's better to say no at the beginning or discuss something again.
Even if the negotiation fails, after the negotiation breaks down, some special means can be used to achieve the goal, so that no one can say anything. It's better than taking on the damage of a damaged character.
"Why?" Lilia slightly avoided Tang Bai's gaze.
"You should know the reason. All I can guarantee is that if you find out about Claes in Klaus, or if you attack you for my sake, you can seek my refuge. I promise that I will not refuse you when the time comes. Tang Bai bluntly offered the conditions that he could accept.
"Yes. But I hope to be able to get some magic from you, and allow us to be there for her while you teach Claes. Lilia didn't argue with Tang Bai about the previous issue, and when Tang Bai said his bottom line, Lilia immediately agreed, but soon told Tang Bai the second promise she wanted from Tang Bai.
"That's what you're for, right?" Tang Bai looked at Lilia with a smile on his face: "Don't you think this request is too much?" I taught Claes and that's because she was my apprentice. What are you? ”
"Even if you agree to this, Claes will repeat it to us afterwards. She's the witch here, after all. Lilia smiled.
"Thanks for reminding her that I'm going to be on the radar when I'm teaching Claes to be aware of and avoid this." Tang Bai's fingers tapped the air, accentuating his tone.
"What do you need to agree to this offer?" Lilia frowned slightly.
Tang Bai's magic is undoubtedly special and powerful! Lilia believed that as long as she could obtain the few spells that had been revealed in Tang Bai's hand, it would be enough for the witches who belonged to her in the city to try not to worry too much about threats such as Klaus. Even if you pay a certain price for it.
Of course, Lilia also knew that if Tang Bai agreed to this, the little chips she took out before seemed a little weak and insufficient, and Tang Bai's refusal also proved this. But Lilia didn't want to give up. She knew very well what she and her subordinates would bring when they became stronger.
It will bring them the peace they have been longing for for a long time.
No need to worry about those vampires, and no more worries about werewolves on moonlit nights. As long as they find a way to gain the approval of humans, they will be able to live in the city in the same way as ordinary people. (To be continued......)
