"You said she wanted to see me?"

In a house in Chicago, Pearl sits in a lounge with a fireplace. There was a roaring fire burning in the fireplace, and strangely, a human face made of flames loomed in the flames. As the flame's face opened and closed, the words seemed a little fluctuating because of the swing of the flames, but every word was distinctly clear.

Although the flame only has a fiery charcoal color, the human face in the flame is lifelike and full of charm by the flame. It only takes one glance to tell who it is.

After receiving the news from Pearl, Tang Bai immediately contacted Pearl and arranged this meeting. He needed more and more detailed information about Catherine from the mouth of the pearl.

Although the means of contact prepared for Pearl in advance can quickly deliver the message, it is not suitable for long conversations. So Tang Bai had to change to another way. Fortunately, if it is magic, even if there are no scientific and technological communication tools such as base station signals in this world, Tang Bai can easily have long-distance instant conversations with people without hindrance. And there are many more ways to do it.

The wizards of Harry's world communicate in a variety of ways, most notably an owl like a human postman. Slightly better, it's similar to the magic communication that allows you to talk to people even if you have the Internet and a mobile phone. There are pros and cons to several methods.

Of course, if there was a chance, Tang Bai would be happy to establish a magical mobile network similar to the Floo Network in this world. In this way, only the presence of a fireplace is required, and instantaneous teleportation can be carried out at a fixed point. This saves a lot of travel time.

Most of the time, the convenience of magic is much superior to the convenience of technology. However, the establishment of the Magic Floo Network did not happen overnight, it was a rather labor-intensive and labor-intensive affair. Tang Bai doesn't have the ability to build up yet.

"Yes, she didn't refuse me, but offered to come and meet her with you. She said it was a way to determine your sincerity. Pearl looked at Tang Bai's face revealed in the flames, and said tentatively: "If you need it, I can bring her back directly." ”

In the flames, Tang Bai's face clearly showed a thoughtful expression. Although Pearl's words are not said to be transparent, the meaning is unmistakably revealed.

Knowing Catherine's reluctance, Pearl still says that she will bring her back. That was obviously a compulsion. With the strength of Pearl's current transformation, if she really wanted to use force, Catherine, who had lived for more than four hundred years like her, had almost no chance of winning.

"Promise her."

Tang Bai's reply made Pearl stunned for a moment, and she was now a little unsure of what Tang Bai was thinking about Catherine.

"Promise her that I will go and meet her in person to show my sincerity to her. All you have to do is keep an eye on her before I get there. Tang Bai repeated again.

There was no surprise to Catherine's cautiousness, if a simple sentence could make Catherine Pearce obedient, she was afraid that she would have no freedom for a long time. The Catherine Pierce in Tang Bai's impression is a person who always likes to take the initiative, is cautious and extremely cunning.

No matter what kind of unfavorable situation such a person is in, he will do his best to turn the situation around and let himself take the initiative as much as possible.

Tang Bai's sentence can only be regarded as an introduction at best. As long as Catherine was disgusted and disgusted by this kind of Eastern Hiding Province, who always had to worry about her own safety, then this sentence could make her hesitate and think for a moment.

Add to that the fact that it was Pearl who was one of her best friends, and even if Catherine wouldn't believe it completely, it would at least allow her to place a bet. And her proposal to Pearl to see Tang Bai undoubtedly proves this from the side. It is also the first step for Catherine to take the initiative to grasp the matter in the palm of her hand.

Although Tang Bai could completely ignore Catherine's request and let Pearl forcibly bring her back. But this is only the last way to do it when Catherine will not cooperate. For his future thinker and housekeeper-type candidate, Tang Bai did not resist Corporal Lixian's behavior.

Catherine Pierce is indeed a person who knows how to judge the situation, even if Tang Bai takes forced actions such as kidnapping and forcibly brings her to the front, after taking turns of means, she will always recognize the form. But the twisted melon is not sweet. Tang Bai was also happy to give Catherine the attention she deserved in the initial stages.

In the end, Tang Bai also had to consider the bad situation if Pearl directly resorted to force but failed. Let's not talk about Catherine Pearce's escape here, just her identity as a doppelganger and half a protagonist has to make people think a little more.

Although the theory of luck is a little illusory, there are always some lucky ones in the world.

Even if the strength of Pearl and the vampires around her was already what it used to be, Tang Bai was not sure that Pearl would be able to successfully tie Catherine back. Since Catherine Pierce, who was a human at the beginning, was able to escape from Klaus's men in a strange way, and let the vampires chasing her in the grass turn a blind eye to her in the grass not far from them, it seems that it is not an impossible thing for Catherine Pierce to escape from Pearl's hands and escape from Pearl's pursuit.

Finding out Catherine's tracks is not an easy task. A lot of people want to find her. This time, if it weren't for the impression of Catherine's traces in Tang Bai's memory, which delineated a general range, and there were people like Pearl who had been with Catherine for a long time and knew Catherine's style very well, and Catherine didn't have time to take any precautions against them, he would not have been able to find Catherine's traces in this little time.

But this situation can only happen once, once the solicitation fails for any reason and Catherine escapes, the next time you want to find Catherine who has been wary and guarded against them, it will take a long time.

After all consideration, Tang Bai still decided to meet Catherine in person. It didn't take much time for Tang Bai to hurry. He went back and forth, and if things went well, he would have consumed less time than Pearl had taken back Catherine.

"That's no problem, I've sent someone to keep an eye on it." Pearl nodded in reply. She also knows how cunning Catherine Pierce is, and with the people she arranged, she is afraid that she will not be able to hide Catherine Pierce for long.

After asking some more questions, Tang Bai withdrew the magic used for communication, and his face gradually faded with the leap of the flames, and finally turned into a wisp of dust and smoke and disappeared in front of the pearl's eyes.

In New Orleans, in Tang Bai's manor, Lilia on the sofa frowned and looked at Tang Bai with a surprised face: "You are going to Chicago?" ”

"Yes, I need to make a long trip." Tang Bai pursed his lips and tilted his head towards her. After talking to Pearl in Chicago in the evening, he had already begun to pack up his salute. Fortunately, this time it was just a trip, not a migration, and I never came back. Therefore, the preparation of the salute or something can be greatly reduced.

"How long will it take?" Lilia's face was a little sluggish.

"Not sure. If it goes well, you may be able to come back soon. If it doesn't go well, it may take a little more time. But I think it shouldn't be too difficult to get a smooth result as long as the start isn't too bad. Tang Bai scratched his head and pulled the drooping hair on his forehead.

"Are you at ease with the affairs here? This city is not in your hands yet. Marcel must have known that the wizards of my faction had taken refuge in you, and I'm not sure if Klaus knew. You know what attitude he always has towards betrayers. Although I said that I was not loyal to him, he asked me to deal with you when he left, but instead of doing what he said, I took refuge in you......" Lilia glared and chattered a little.

"What do you want to say?" Tang Bai interrupted Lilia's words and asked in a deep voice.

"What if he comes back in your absence? I don't think he's going to let us go. In the more than 100 years he ruled the city, he had more than one bloody massacre. Lilia glanced at Tang Bai: "I can't guarantee that I will be able to withstand the angry Klaus and the large group of vampire ancestor family members when the time comes." ”

"Don't worry, Klaus's surname isn't as bad as you think. He will definitely need to wait and see for a little longer, and it will not be possible to come back anytime soon. Even if you come back, what are you afraid of? As long as you and Phil stay in the house of this manor where all kinds of protective magic have been cast, Klaus can't get in without my invitation, and he won't be able to hurt you. ”

Tang Bai responded: "What's more, Claes can more or less be on her own now." As long as Phil protects her, it will not be difficult for her to cooperate with you in expelling an Ancestor. What's more, we can still keep in touch, and if something happens, I'll be back as soon as possible. ”

Tang Bai said this point, and Lilia naturally knew that Tang Bai was afraid that he had already made up his mind. She didn't want Tang Bai to leave the city like this. Especially at such a sensitive time now.

But Lilia also knew that she couldn't influence Tang Bai anything. Her influence on Tang Bai, except for Pearl and Claes, is not even as good as Phil. But Phil almost never had any objection to Tang Bai's decision. (To be continued.) )
