"...... you?"

After Gu Yun put on a posture, Eric was stunned, he really didn't expect Marian to let someone else exercise the right to speak.

In fact, he had doubts about Gu Yun's identity from the beginning, because before that, Marianne had never brought any male companions when attending any meetings.

Whether it is a noble commoner, a vampire, or a werewolf, there has never been a shortage of people who covet Marianne's beauty, but she has never responded to anyone in this regard.

"Tell me, then, what good will I get if I tell you about Dracula's residence? You must know that Dracula has defected to the Brando family, and if it is known that we betrayed him, it will have an extremely negative impact on the Brando family's statement. ”

Despite his doubts, Eric put on a serious negotiating posture.

Prior to this, he had already talked about countless business deals, whether the other party was a wealthy merchant, a nobleman, or even the Edward family, he often got the desired return.

So he had now begun to think about what he wanted to get from the shipwrecked Marianne, and this was an unprecedented opportunity.

"Tell us the location of his castle, and we'll help you with the rest of the trouble."

The Elder had said that a deal with the other side often required a mutually beneficial outcome, and that the true trajectory of history was that the leader of the vampire clan later became Count Dracula, and that the Brando family did not leave much of a mark on themselves at the end of the Dark Ages.

"What's next? Are you referring to the trouble that Dracula will come to us? ”

Eric thought it was a little funny.

With Count Dracula's prestige among vampires, even without the entire Brando family, he can't get the approval of other vampires, there are many vampires who are more famous than Dracula, and with Dracula's power, he can now make the other party's life extremely difficult with one order......

"Dracula may not be a big deal now, but after getting the Dusk Grimoire......"

Before Gu Yun finished speaking, his back was pinched by Marianne.

When she heard the words "Dusk Magic Codex", her eyes went dark, can this kind of secret be told to others casually?

And the other party is also the second-in-command of the Brando family - they are the big family that is most likely to compete for the first place after the witch will fall!

The Brando family will never miss any opportunity to develop their power.

Knowing that Gu Yun was so open-mouthed, she negotiated with Eric by herself, and now that she has said this, even if she denies it, Eric's probably won't believe it.

"I see, I didn't expect Miss Marianne to lose the Dusk Magic Book."

Eric suddenly realized, no wonder the witchers suddenly rushed to try to find the whereabouts of Count Dracula, as the second-in-command of the Brando family, he naturally understood the weight of this magic tome, it is the proof of why Marianne became so powerful, although I don't know how it fell into the hands of Count Dracula, but once the spell of the magic book is broken, Dracula may indeed replace the Witch of Dusk and become the next vampire tyrant.

But......

Now that they know about it, it's a different story.

The next moment the vampire tyrant can appear, but definitely not Dracula, but a member of their Brando family.

"I advise you not to fight the idea of the Grimoire, it won't do the Brando family any good."

"Why?"

"Miss Marianne, I have always admired you very much, but you should understand that it was not the Brando family who took the Grimigraph, and the loss of the Grimome in the battle with the Witcher Guild may also indirectly indicate that you are not the best person to preserve it......"

If it had been placed in the past, if Eric Brando had said such things to her, Marianne would have directly killed this vampire who dared to offend her, but now that she has not healed, and the battle with Gu Yun yesterday has consumed a lot of energy, even if she reluctantly kills Eric, the injuries on her body will only become more serious.

And what awaits her will be the endless hunt of the Brando family, these vampires are everywhere, and their tracking ability is far higher than that of witchers.

Seeing that Marianne didn't do it directly, Eric breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "With Miss Marianne's current state, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover the Grimome directly from Count Dracula and the Witchers, but we can each take a step back, and the Brando family can help you recover the Grimoire, and in return, Miss Marianne, you should also share the knowledge on the Grimome with us." ”

It was a mutually beneficial proposition, with the Dusk Tome returning to its owner, and the Brando family gaining access to the forbidden knowledge of the Tome.

Of course, in the future, when it comes to exercising the agreement, the vampire also knows a lot of ancient captivity techniques......

"Dracula only got two fragments of the Grimoire, the one about 'life' and the 'matter' part, and in order to crack the contents of the Grimoire, Green-Winchester later traveled countless eras to find someone who could read the spells of the Grimoire, so even if you snatched the Grimoire, you wouldn't be able to learn the spells recorded on it."

Gu Yun didn't care about Marianne's getting worse and worse at all, and continued.

The elders also told him that the ultimate thing at the negotiating table is sincerity, and sincerity is often the weapon that can best impress the opponent.

"I see, it was Greene Winchester who took the Grimoire ......"

Eric suddenly said, "But there is no need to be so troublesome, just Miss Marianne is not the most suitable person to crack the Grimoire?" ”

He does have the intention of helping Marianne reclaim the Grimoire.

However, before handing over the tome to Marianne, they need to make some security guarantees, such as signing a blood contract to prevent Marianne from changing her fortune.

"Don't bother, just tell us Count Dracula's castle, and then we'll talk to him ourselves, and retrieving the two fragments of the Grimome is the purpose of my trip."

Gu Yun had implemented the principle of sincerity from beginning to end, and he never disdained to conceal the loss of the Magic Book and the purpose of his trip.

"It sounds like you don't plan to share the secrets of the Grimoire with the Brandois, so what if I refuse?"

"Then there are other means to go, and the elders have said that if results cannot be achieved by peaceful means, some extraordinary means are occasionally needed......"

Hearing this, Eric and Gu Yun got up at the same time, he raised his hands and set up a parrying posture.

At the negotiation table in the past, he naturally encountered many opponents who planned to take "extraordinary measures" like Gu Yun, but unfortunately he was not a businessman who could be manipulated by others, but ......

But......

Hey?

When this thought came to him, Eric suddenly found that his vision had deviated greatly, and when he came to his senses, he had fallen to the cellar at the bottom of the manor, and when he looked up, there were two huge holes above his head.

A figure leapt out of the hole and landed firmly beside him.

"Now I'm going to negotiate more deeply with you."

Gu Yun clenched his fists, "If you decide to tell Count Dracula's residence, just tell me." ”

In fact, he has thought about similar questions well along the way.

For example, even if Count Dracula is found in the end, the other party may not be willing to return the fragments of the Grimoire.

And if things do get to that point......

He had no choice but to kill Dracula and bring the fragments back.
