Chapter 84 (The book is not harmonized)
Darkness enveloped New Orleans.
Hidden in the shadow of New Orleans' prosperity is a special group of beings, and when night comes, it's time for their activities.
These special beings are vampires.
But of course they don't call themselves vampires, they gracefully call themselves bloods.
As most legends say, a vampire is afraid of sunlight, so they can only move after the sun sets.
But this is only for the average vampire, there are a very small number of vampires who are not harmed by sunlight, and these very few vampires are the rulers of the large vampire race.
On the top floor of a tall building in New Erliang, several men in suits and leather shoes sat around a long table with serious faces, and a man in a black robe had his back to these people and looked through the window at the brightly lit street below.
The dim light made the pale faces of these people even more terrifying.
"You say that all the people we sent to Japan have been wiped out?" The black-robed man standing by the window said in a low voice, "And we still don't know what force was destroyed. ”
None of the people sitting in the chairs spoke.
"Hmph, are you all trash?" The black-robed man snorted coldly and turned around.
The golden pupils and hideous fangs all reveal his identity, a high-ranking vampire.
The people who were sitting in the chairs all fell to their knees facing the vampire in front of them.
"Duke Gredo, please calm your anger, your subordinates have sent dozens of elites to Japan to investigate the situation, and I will let you know as soon as there is news." The person kneeling at the front said tremblingly.
Duke, the vampire in front of him actually has the title of duke.
What is the concept of a duke? That's the pinnacle of vampires.
Vampires are an extremely strict hierarchical race, and their ranks are distinguished according to the rank of duke, marquis, earl, son, baron, etc., and above this level there is a higher existence, that is, the prince and the imperial class, which can only be found in legends.
And in today's world, prince-level vampires do not exist at all, either turning into ashes in the long years or not knowing which hidden coffin to lie in and sleep, so that now the highest level of vampires is only the duke.
The vampire named Gredo in front of him was one of the three duke-level vampires in the various clans of vampires.
Moreover, Gredo, as the most powerful leader of the three major vampire forces, has an absolute status and prestige among vampires.
"Hmph, don't let me down again this time." Gledore squinted at the vampire who was speaking, and then whispered, "What's going on over there with the wolves?" It's not just us who participated in this operation, but the wolf clan was also involved, how are they reacting now? ”
"Back to my lord, the beasts reacted violently when they got the news, but they didn't take any real action." A vampire at the back of the seat reported respectfully.
Gledo thought for a moment with a gloomy face and said, "There is no actual action? This is a bit inconsistent with the habits of the brutes, hmph, I guess what is being planned, I can't be careless about the brutes, Tros continues to pay attention to the movements of the brutes, and if they leave for any action, report back to me. ”
"Yes, Lord Duke." The vampire known as Tros said respectfully.
At this time, two vampires dressed in medieval armor walked in from outside the door, knelt down on one knee and said, "See Lord Duke Gredo." ”
Gredo looked indifferently at the two vampires who came in and said coldly, "What's the matter?" ”
"Back to the Duke, the Council of Elders invites you to come over." The two vampires knelt on one knee and lowered their heads and said emotionlessly.
Gledo snorted coldly and said, "I know, you go down, I'll go over in a while." ”
The Esoteric Order is made up of seven clans, including the Brujah, Gangrel, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Toreador, Tremere, and Ventrue, and the so-called Council of Elders is an institution formed by the patriarchs of these clans in order to restrict his rights to a certain extent.
As the patriarch of the Van Zhuo clan, Gredo still can't favor his clan casually under the pressure of the Council of Elders.
And the count who hung up on this operation is from the Simor clan, and the other vampires are also from other clans, so Gredor, the assignee of the operation, must have to explain something like the Council of Elders.
Gledo's face was not good at the thought of those guys in the Council of Elders.
Although the vampires seem to have absolute power in the Dark Council, only they know that their relationship is not as strong as they imagined.
Let's not mention that there is constant friction between the three forces (secret party, demon party, and neutral party) on the surface, and the various clans in the same force are all evil intentions, each for its own side.
Therefore, the loss of an earl in this operation by the Simors will not give up, and Gledo is determined to make some compensation
Mephistopheles and her minions wander through the dark night of New Orleans, admiring the sordid sins that hide in the darkness.
"This earthly world is really interesting, it reminds me of hell." Mephistopheles said with a smile.
"This sinful soul is the most delicious, I really want to taste it." The big man behind Mephistopheles looked around and licked his tongue and said.
Mephistopheles shook his head in disappointment as he looked at the big man's appearance.
She was really disappointed in this low-level demon she had summoned, and all she could do was eat.
She looked at her hand and shook it, the strength in her body had recovered by more than half, thinking that when her strength was restored, she would send this guy back to hell, saving her own trouble.
"My lord, there are a lot of dark creatures ahead, although the dark power they emit is simply negligible." Dahan looked ahead with disdain and said.
An underground nightclub appeared ahead.
"Do you still need to say it? Can I feel it? Mephistopheles snorted coldly and said, "Let's go, let's see." ”
When Mephistopheles reached the door of this nightclub, two stout men with two meters in height stretched out their hands at the same time to block Mephistopheles's way.
"This is not for you to enter, so let's go." The two big men looked at Mephistopheles coldly and said.
Mephistophelis looked at the two hands blocking him, glanced at the two big men with a smile, and said, "What if I have to go in and have a look?" ”
"Then don't blame us for not piping on the fragrance and jade." Dahan said.
There was a lot of noise in the nightclub, the deafening music was thinking, and the men and women on the dance floor were dancing wildly.
It's even crazier below the dance floor, with all kinds of bizarre shapes, just like a group of demons dancing.
Just when everyone was forgetting, a loud bang came from the door.
"Bang!" The glass door exploded open, and two shadows flew out and slammed into the table on the counter, shattering the table on the counter.
The two shadows were the strong men who were guarding the door just now.
At this time, the two of them were completely deformed, and slowly turned into ashes.
The sudden change made everyone present quiet and looked at the door.
There were only two people standing in the broken gate, a tall man and a petite and beautiful woman.
The big man stood in front of the woman with his fists rubbed his hands, his blood-red eyes showing the fact that he was not human.
Mephistopheles glanced at the stunned crowd and smiled, "I wonder who can say something here?" ”
