Chapter 337: Change
At this time, Eric Brando and Gu Yun's impression of the representative of Gelt Pharmaceutical has changed very obviously, no longer a positive and sunny first impression, but gives people a feeling of aristocrat.
But in physiognomy, Eric after centuries has hardly changed in any noticeable way.
"We've seen each other?"
Eric asked Gu Yun rhetorically, and he felt that the other party's question seemed to have a deep meaning.
The stranger who visits the winery with the Witch of Twilight not only knows himself, but also seems to know himself before he became a vampire.
He had been a vampire for hundreds of years, before the city-state was established and the people were scattered and nomadic lives, and for hundreds of years he had managed to stand out from the Brando family and take the entire winery business into his hands.
Could it be that this man has lived for hundreds of years like him?
Unfortunately, the memories before becoming a vampire have been forgotten by Eric Brando, and the ritual of becoming a vampire is called the first hug, which also has a new meaning for every vampire, and the identity before becoming a vampire and what kind of life he lived does not matter at all.
"To be precise, it should be ...... afterward"
"It doesn't matter."
Marianne interrupted Gu Yun's words, it was not a good thing for the Brando family to know his identity, what Gu Yun knew alone was an inexhaustible treasure for them, with her understanding of the Brando family, they would definitely do everything they could to dig out the information about the future in Gu Yun's mind.
This information is enough for them to hold the secrets of their enduring prosperity and even win the impending war with the werewolf clan.
In fact, if she hadn't known about the relationship between herself and Gu Yun in the future, I'm afraid she would have made the same choice as the Brando family.
Predicting the future is a temptation that no one can refuse.
"We're here to find out about a vampire."
"Miss Marianne is so out-of-the-envelope, let me in, we have made a fine wine from the best virgin blood, and you will love it."
Eric Brando glanced at Gu Yun meaningfully, but Marianne didn't continue to ask.
Still, he'd heard the most important word.
"After".
This is a possibility that he never thought of, what Gu Yun knows is the future him, and for some reason, the future he did not let the other party know his identity as a vampire.
So, there was a question at the beginning.
However, the first thing to deal with at the moment was Marianne's sudden visit, and when he entered the door, he gave the guard a very covert look, so that he could then inform the master of Marianne's arrival.
As the rumors of the defeat of the Witch of Twilight spread, the Brando family's attitude towards Marianne naturally changed, especially at this time Marianne was dressed in the uniform of a nun of the church, and the nun's hat covered half of her face, which was not in line with the identity of the Witch of Twilight.
You must know that in her heyday, she dared to enter the city where the Holy See was located single-handedly, and went to a banquet between nobles in front of the Holy See and the Demon Hunter Guild, but the latter two stopped her at all.
The recent hunt of witches by the Holy See and the Witchers also indirectly proved the authenticity of Marianne's defeat, if it had been placed in the past, Marianne would have directly led the Witch Guild into the headquarters of the Witch Hunters' Guild.
In fact, even many members of the Witch Society believe that their mistress is dead.
In the last few days, in order to escape the witchers and the Holy See, the Brandos and Edwards have received a number of witches who have taken refuge in them.
At least for a short time, the witchers and the Holy See did not dare to wage an all-out war against the werewolf and vampire tribes at the same time.
"Miss Marianne must have heard some recent rumors against the Witches' Society."
Eric Brando said with a knock.
What is certain is that the Witch of Dusk is still alive, but she has lost the ability to take revenge on the Holy See and the Witchers' Guild, and Eric feels that it is most likely that she was also seriously injured in that battle, and now she is at the end of her crossbow, and has to be incognito to allow the Holy See to burn witches at the stake.
"Sooner or later, I'll settle accounts with them."
"But not now?"
"There's more important work to be done."
In the middle of the conversation, the three of them were already in the winery's living room, where Eric picked out a well-packaged bottle of wine and took out three more goblets.
"Miss Marianne, I'll be blunt, the Brando family will be happy to provide you with shelter, and not only that, but we will be able to rescue the members of the Witch Society from all over the world."
Luckily for Eric, Marianne had come to him, and if she had chosen the Edwards, they would have faced a different situation.
Marianne is badly injured and the Witch Society is shattered, and now is the perfect time for them to entrap the Witches, and with the help of the remnants of the Witch Society, it is not a problem to win the war against the werewolf tribe.
On top of that, they can manage to get Marianne to know the spell and knowledge.
Of course, in Erik's personal opinion, even if Marianne loses everything, she is transformed into a high-level ...... No, it should be said that the top "ingredients" are also worth it.
It is an unprecedented sense of conquest to make the once proud Witch of Twilight bow down.
"Thank you for your kindness, but don't worry, we're here for you for Dracula's whereabouts."
"Dracula?"
Eric was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time for him to reluctantly remember such a marginal name.
An aristocrat from a remote town, often referring to himself as a "count", but the legitimacy of the count's status has not been verified, and among the many vampires who have defected to the Brando, Dracula is a misfit, sitting alone in the corner at every large meeting, with little to no communication with the others.
But......
Marianne was not alone in inquiring about Count Dracula's whereabouts, as he heard reports that a group of witchers had recently been hunting down lone vampires and asking them about Dracula's whereabouts, for which four vampires had already been beheaded by the witchers.
He thought that Dracula had committed something and caused the Witcher Guild, but now it seems that there is something hidden inside.
"Brando must know his whereabouts."
Marianne said in a non-deniable tone.
"Yes, I've heard of where his castle is."
Eric also did not deny that he could not deceive the Witch of Twilight in such a matter, "But Miss Marianne knows that I have always been a businessman, and my concern is, what good will I gain if I tell you where Dracula is?" ”
As he spoke, Eric looked at Gu Yun.
Gu Yun also looked at the other party.
Confirmed the eyes.
Gu Yun rolled up his sleeves - the negotiation link he was best at had finally arrived.
