Chapter 265: First Encounter [I]
Time flies.
Since recruiting Cellie and them, Tang Bai has gone through a quiet period of more than three months.
Of course, others didn't move, but as the pearls of his left and right hands, they were planning in an orderly manner according to Tang Bai's instructions. Now there are nearly two hundred werewolves under Tang Bai's command. Most of these people were integrated by Tang Bai and thrown into Sayri's hands.
Of course, Tang Bai packed these werewolves together and threw them to Serri, but this does not mean that these werewolves will obey Serri. Maybe they couldn't resist Tang Bai, who was much stronger than them and had mastered the wolf poison potion they needed most, but that didn't mean that they would be honest and not secretly reject Serri.
Integrate several wolf packs together, not to mention anything else, just the few wolf pack leaders who will be added in the future, no matter what, will challenge Selle's leadership position. There can only be one wolf king in the wolf pack, and if one of the wolves in the pack challenges the wolf king, then the winner between the two will become the new wolf king.
Tang Bai did not give a special warning to the latecomers on this point, as if he had acquiesced to this rule. In more than three months, it was easy for the newly joined wolves to build up their prestige, but it was still a little unrealistic to want them to be obedient to Tang Bai in everything.
Especially in the past month or so, these werewolves have spent two-thirds of the time scurrying around the cities of the country.
Tang Bai was not worried that Seri would not be able to suppress the thorns of those wolves, and would be deprived of the position and power of the leader. The effects of the dragon's blood have been steadily manifested in Serlie's body, and her strength is much higher now than she used to be.
The strength is stronger, the speed is faster, the movements are more agile, and the recovery and physical fitness are also steadily increasing with the improvement of strength. Continuing to evolve in this way, Serri even doubted that she didn't need to wait for the end of her evolution, even if she didn't need any weapons, she would be able to suppress those vampires who were known for their strength and speed in terms of speed and strength without changing her body.
Werewolves face vampires without changing their bodies, and if they don't have weapons in their hands, they are basically more than lucky. Few can outperform a vampire in mere hand-to-hand combat. Of course, if the werewolf is in a state of transformation, most vampires need to worry and escape.
After all, wolf venom is like a completely incurable poison for vampires.
Vampires are not afraid of any viruses and diseases, because all viruses and diseases are ineffective against them. Their blood is the best panacea. Whether it's a serious injury or a mess of germs injected into the body, a human being only needs to drink a sip of vampire's blood to get back to its healthiest state.
The potions made by humans, whether good or poisonous, are almost completely useless to vampires. They are able to resist and digest any medicine. But wolf venom is even more threatening to them than verbena.
After all, verbena can be removed by them, and injuries caused by verbena can be restored. But wolf venom is deadly. Even a small wound that cuts the skin will cost the life of a vampire.
The speed and agility of werewolves in their transformed state are not inferior to the super speed of vampires, and even exceed those of most vampires. In this case, a vampire and a transformed werewolf will be limited in melee combat, as being injured means dying.
Just like Tang Bai once said to Serri, none of the wolves that joined later had been tainted by dragon blood. Under this comparison of strengths, if Selly was pulled down from her position with her strength, then Tang Bai wouldn't mind changing the leadership of the wolves under her to another person.
More than three months have passed, and there has been a lot of confusion in the Occult Balance Committee. Klaus seemed to have disappeared for more than three months, without any trace or news.
Klaus is good at making people fear him, and he is also good at exploiting other people's fears of himself and exploiting their weaknesses to force them to submit to his will. This kind of behavior may make those people obey Klaus, but they will not gain absolute loyalty.
When he was fine, with his prestige, strength, and identity, he was enough to suppress all doubts and restlessness, but when he left silently for more than three months, close to four months when the news was unknown, it was inevitable that people's hearts would fluctuate.
Although Klaus is immortal, there has never been a shortage of people who have been trying to find a way to kill the Ancestors for thousands of years. Marcel, as Klaus's disciple and godson, was nominally able to take over everything in the city while Klaus was away. But in terms of prestige and deterrence, he is far from being able to match Klaus for the time being.
If you want to suppress the restless people's hearts, unless Marcel can decisively make some means and attitudes, play a role similar to knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and fiercely improve his reputation and discourse. Otherwise, he would have been able to sit back and watch the situation unravel step by step, and start to develop towards something he didn't want to see.
For Marcel, as for Elijah, Tang Bai did not have any ill feelings in his heart. Although Marcel is still only a vampire about 100 years old, he is clearly a very capable person after being cultivated and taught by Klaus.
His once humble status and status caused him to desire and even pursue power and power. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to give up everything around him. Just like the choice Klaus gave him, there was a choice between becoming a vampire and getting to live with Rebecca for decades.
Marcel abandons Rebecca and chooses to become a vampire.
In many places, Marcel is almost a copy of Klaus, and his scheming and methods were trained by Klaus. But there is still a fundamental difference between the two. Klaus has pursued absolute loyalty all his life.
Family, subordinates, servants.
But he never really gained loyalty. His rebellious surname does not tolerate opponents and betrayers. His hands were stained with the blood of all sorts of people. Aside from his family, Klaus can not care about anyone. The methods he took were always so infuriating and uncomfortable.
But Marcel is different, he values everyone around him more as family and friends. He's not as reckless as Klaus, he's not lacking in decisiveness, but he also knows how to compromise appropriately. He valued his own order, and demanded that everyone obey it strictly, as if it were a human law.
Memories were in Michaelson's quest to the city, and Klaus wanted to take Marcel away, but Marcel chose to stay this time. He couldn't give up everything around him.
Pearls: Their changes have almost come to an end in the past three months. With the help of Tang Bai's potion, Pearl and Phil did not suffer any danger and unbearable pain during the entire process of evolution.
More than three months have passed, and Pearl has searched for her daughter Annabelle, and has tentatively identified a city where Catherine may be.
In the past three months, the little witch Claes has also been able to qualify for the power to control the power in her body that is about to riot from time to time. Although it is still not comparable to Lilia in terms of precision and delicacy in control, there is no doubt that with the talent shown by the little witch, she will surpass Lilia in the future.
After the little witch was initially qualified to control her power, Tang Bai began to teach formally. The little witch had to untie all sorts of complicated magic knots every day, but that was only done in her spare time.
Magic, potions.
This is the course that Tang Bai taught for the little witch. Most of the time, Lilia would sit in a corner of the house, with the little witch Clais. Tang Bai did not shy away from her existence. Even when he was making a wand for the little witch, he made one for Lilia.
In addition to classes, the little witch spends part of her day practicing various magic and unraveling magic knots, and the other part is to play with her pets.
The griffin egg that Tang Bai gave to the little witch as a meeting gift had already been broken, and the little griffin grew very fast, and in the past few months, its body had skyrocketed several times, and although its current body shape was still far from adulthood, only a little taller than the little witch, it looked a little mighty.
In particular, its strength and destruction are not at all as weak and powerless as the new ones should have. Just like the period after Xiaolong just broke out of the dragon egg, destruction and violence were almost the main tone of Xiaolong at that time.
If left unattended, the dragon was able to transform the room it was in in a very short period of time.
is also in the same position of being curious about anything, wanting to tease and scratch the little griffin twice, and it is also quite a bit of the posture of the little dragon when he is naughty. Since its birth, it has inadvertently destroyed two handmade carpets that are more than 160 years old, plus a set of tables, chairs and furniture that have been handed down for more than 100 years.
However, the situation that is much better than the original Xiaolong period is that at the beginning, Xiaolong would only be quiet when he was by Tang Bai's side. Gargerson and Bellatrix, as well as the house-elf Creekru, out of Tang Bai's doting on Xiaolong, have an attitude towards Xiaolong as it doesn't burn down the entire house, and they simply turn a blind eye to Xiaolong's behavior.
Anyway, Tang Bai, the owner of the house, didn't care, and those of them who worked and served under Tang Bai naturally didn't need to care about anything. The things destroyed in the room, as long as they were not burned by Long Yan on the spot, could be restored with magic. Cluttered rooms can also be cleaned up with magic and restored to their original state.
But at that time, Xiaolong was in trouble, and there was Gargeson and Cricklu to clean it up, and Tang Bai didn't need to intervene in managing it too much. At the beginning, because of the pearls, the little griffin didn't need to worry about anything. But when Pearl and her men go out to find Catherine, the curiosity and desire to destroy the little griffon, who has been unfettered for a while, immediately intensifies.
The little witch's behavior towards the little griffin was decisively on par with Tang Bai's treatment of Xiaolong, and her behavior of protecting her shortcomings made Lilia and Phil who stayed behind feel a little headache. After the little griffin took advantage of Clais's lack of attention to destroy a handmade carpet, Tang Bai simply threw the little dragon to Clais's side.
Anyway, in the same house, Xiaolong didn't have to stay with him all the time. And the role of the little dragon is obviously obvious in the following days. The most intuitive thing is that the furniture and carpets in the home, including some of the arts and crafts that are used as decorations in the room, have never been destroyed by the little griffons.
Under the care and control of the little dragon, the little griffin is obviously much more honest than Pearl was when he was there. For herself to have one more playmate, the little witch is happy with the little dragon.
"There's news from Pearl again." Lilia, who temporarily took over the management of this house from Pearl, walked to Tang Bai's side with a piece of letterhead, and while talking, she reached out and handed the letterhead in her hand to Tang Bai behind the table.
"Looks like there's news." Tang Bai said a word, reached out and took the white letterhead handed over by Lilia, opened it and looked at it. There was a flash of joy on his face.
"Yes, after four months, Pearl finally got that Catherine in the right place." Lilia rolled her eyes. She didn't understand how Tang Bai, who was a wizard, liked to have a relationship with vampires so much?
Most of the other wizards avoided vampires and vampire-related affairs, but Tang Bai preferred to get involved. Even a few vampires are considered absolute henchmen. Now it's sending out Pearl with great fanfare to find another vampire.
"It's just for sure. Pearls, although their actions are secretive, are still traceable. Judging by Catherine's vigilance and cunning, she must have sensed and suspected something. So it's not entirely guaranteed that Pearl will be able to see her. Tang Bai carefully read the letterhead that Pearl had passed to him again.
"I'm sure Pearl will be able to bring you definite news soon." Although Lilia hates vampires, she has a good opinion of pearls after a while. After all, Pearl knows how to restrain herself and does not indulge herself, and the vampire side represents the killing and violent demon surname.
Lilia's words came true quickly.
The evening after the first letter arrived, the second message from Pearl had already arrived.
Pearl had already found Catherine and met her, bringing Tang Bai's words to her. Catherine did not explicitly refuse Tang Bai's solicitation, but made a request. (To be continued.) )
