200. I think I'm going to grow up
Sean has always been very confident in convincing Riley. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason is simple, that is, Riley has no way out.
As Sean said before, Riley is barely struggling now, and maybe one day Dorne's claws will swing down, and she will live to the end. Unless she was willing to abandon the entire Riley clan and run away from the lives of her own dependents, then she could still survive.
But in that case, she was basically no different from being abolished, because no Blood Clan would be willing to offend the Giovanni Clan for her sake.
That's why Sean chose Riley as the first breakthrough, just because the conditions he offered were something she couldn't refuse.
Of course, Sean is not afraid that Riley will regret it afterwards, because by that time Alexis and Imoku have already freed their hands, and they have the time and energy to deal with these treacherous people. If it weren't for the relative stability of Giovanni's reign, rather than being completely shattered, Sean would have had a better way of dealing with these troubles - just as he had been as ruthless as he had been in the surface world, with just a few more swings of the butcher's knife.
The state of peace in the underground world for so long is really just a lack of a breakthrough to act as a fuse.
And Sean's arrival happened to open a gap in this state of peace, making everyone inside completely chaotic. It's just that this kind of conflict of interests needs to have a minimum guarantee: the blood elves can be annexed, but the person who annexes him must be the dark elves; Secondly, the power between the werewolf and the blood clan must still be balanced, no matter which side of the two sides is strong, it will form a situation like a snowball, and eventually swallow the latter, so as to become the overlord of the entire underground world in the true sense.
So Sean will help Dongdu weaken the others, so that Dongdu has enough influence in the entire werewolf tribe.
In the same way, we will also strive to prevent the Giovanni clan from falling apart, so as to become a real common interest group with the Lesenba clan, and then form a balanced power relationship with the werewolf tribe.
As for the spider demon, it is also possible to use Alexis's hand to weaken it comprehensively, so that he can form a new balance with the dark elves who have just experienced the unification battle of the forest, and the demon descendants who have suffered heavy casualties due to the tricks of the blood clan. And the balanced relationship formed by these three can just play a new restraining relationship between the blood clan and the werewolves, so that the blood clan and the werewolves do not dare to start a new round of thousand-year holy war without scruples.
It can be said that from the moment Sean decided to make a move against the blood elves, he had made all preparations to ensure that the five holy blood races in the underworld would not collapse due to the reduction of one blood elf.
Because history proves that once the internal pressure of these major races in the underworld is calmed, then it will be a disaster for the underworld: the third underworld expeditionary force plan has actually happened in the game.
Sean, as a son of the plane, of course, wants to prevent this kind of thing that will cause damage to the origin of the world as much as possible.
After Riley explained to Senny and Sutir, she followed Sean on the road again.
This time, their destination is the territory of the Dominica clan.
The Dominic Clan, next to the Riley Clan, is also one of the main constituents of the Giovanni Clan's first-level power network. The other main constituent of the first-level power network is the Paul clan, but even Riley can see that Paul has a master around him to assist, so it is naturally impossible for Doen and Dominic not to know.
Not long after, Sean was led by Riley and soon set foot in the territory of the Donimic clan.
Unlike the Riley Clan's particularly oppressive atmosphere because of Dorne's shadow, in the Dominica Clan's territory, Sean can clearly perceive the relaxation of the atmosphere, and it seems that the people living here are very happy and happy.
And when Sean and Riley appeared in a small town where they gathered, the people living in the town did not have any hostility or wariness towards outsiders like Sean. Unlike when Sean appeared in the small town of the Riley clan's territory, everyone maintained a certain amount of hostility and wariness towards him as an outsider - but there are actually advantages and disadvantages to the two, such as in the Riley clan's territory, Sean only needs to say that he wants to find Riley. Giovanni, there will be relevant information sent to Riley or Riley's henchmen immediately, and Sean doesn't have to worry about finding anyone at all.
But in the territory of the Dominic Clan, this trick obviously doesn't work very well.
"I don't understand." In a small room on the second floor that looked like a tavern and inn, Riley looked at Sean and said with some confusion, "Why don't you let me visit Dominic through the regular channels, but like now...... Such? ”
Sean shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You don't have to be so wary of me. ”
"I didn't." Riley said indifferently.
Sean glanced at Riley, who had walked straight to the window since he entered the house, and posed as if he was observing pedestrians on the road, but in fact he was about to jump out of the window immediately when something was wrong, and with a thick look of vigilance in his eyes, a helpless wry smile appeared on his face: Obviously, the woman in front of her obviously misunderstood something.
"I'm not interested in you, so you don't have to worry about what I'm going to do to you." Sean shook his head, the look on his face was more like an elder who spoiled the younger generation, and he was very helpless, "Opening a room is naturally to save some unnecessary trouble." …… In other words, it is to prepare for the trouble that may come. The reason why you are not allowed to visit Dominica by formal means is also because you want to observe it closely. ”
Riley looked at Sean noncommittally, but her eyes clearly did not relax in the slightest.
Sean decided not to pay attention to Riley's thoughts, he lay straight on the bed, and then began to relax himself: "What do you think Dominic...... What kind of person is he? ”
"One...... Coward? Riley stared at Sean closely, and only relaxed slightly after confirming that he was just lying on the bed and not making the next move, "In our Giovanni clan, his reputation has never been high, and he will never personally participate in many battles, and even find ways to avoid them. Many people call him a coward, a coward, a disgrace to the blood, or something, so there are also many people who are fighting for the idea of his territory. ”
"These people, I guess, never succeeded." Although Sean said "I guess", he actually used an affirmative sentence.
"Yes." Riley nodded, and then suddenly she was a little surprised, "You mean...... Have a problem with Dominica? ”
Sean glanced at Riley, who was a little embarrassed: "It seems that this Dominic is really hidden, and you haven't noticed anything unusual at all." ”
"Strange?" Riley didn't quite understand.
However, considering that Riley has rarely had any contact with the outside world because of Dorne's pressure, it is normal that she does not know much about Dominic's affairs. Her ability to gather intelligence has been almost completely paralyzed by Dorne, and she can only struggle in vain like a prey that has fallen into a net.
It is precisely because of this that Sean is reluctant to let Riley visit Dominic through formal channels.
Because this is sure to attract Dorne's attention, and maybe even Dominic's disgust - after all, this is a man who likes to hide clumsy, and Riley's visit is bound to attract Dorne's attention. Sean doesn't know if Dorn has discovered Dominic's secrets, but as long as Dorn's attention is aroused, it will definitely cause many twists and turns, and even expose his existence, which is not what Sean wants.
"Dominic is smarter than many of you." Sean still decided to tell Riley the truth, although this woman is smart, but her intelligence network has been disconnected from the outside world for too long, "He has been hiding it all the time, just trying to avoid direct conflict with Dorne." I suspect he wants to take advantage of the fisherman, and if he hadn't had the chance, he would have kept it hidden...... There aren't many outliers in your blood clan who don't care about reputation, right? ”
Hearing Sean say this, Riley reacted: "If you say that, I understand." …… Indeed, many of the people who played Dominica's idea would not have taken any action against Dominica after the defeat, and they did not even have a plan for revenge. And many of the results of what I heard at the time were very coincidental...... But with so many coincidences, that's not right in itself, right? ”
"Then it seems that we didn't come directly to the door." Sean nodded slightly, "Dorne is not such a stupid person, I suspect that there are many people who play Dominic's idea, and they are all instigated by Dorne, in order to test his hole cards." …… If we had visited him through the normal channels, I am afraid we would have been exposed by now. ”
Riley didn't speak again, and she didn't even react to the moment Sean got up.
But in the next second, a strong wind hit, Riley let out an exclamation, and then her vision began to reverse, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that she had been thrown onto the bed by Sean. In an instant, the whole body tensed, and he looked at Sean standing by the window with vigilance-the position of the two of them happened to be reversed in an instant.
"Don't be suspicious all day long, we're allies, and I think we should trust each other a little more." Sean looked at Riley, who was lying on the bed, wanting to get angry but didn't dare to get angry, then glanced at her breasts that seemed to have been pressed by the steamroller, and then pouted, "I said it, I'm not interested in you, so you don't have to worry about what I will do to you." ”
Although Sean's gaze was very calm and his tone was very indifferent, obviously sincere, Riley's heart still subtly rose a wave of anger, although she didn't know why she was angry, but she just felt a little unhappy.
Therefore, she snorted and turned her head away, ignoring Sean.
"Besides, with the difference in strength between us, what do I really want to do to you, do you think you can escape, or can you beat me?" But Sean didn't intend to let Riley go like this, and still relentlessly added the blow effect, "So, let's trust your partner more." After all, we're in the same boat now, and I don't want to cause any trouble...... Accidentally. ”
Riley let out a groaning sound of unknown meaning, looking a little childish.
This move made Sean a little surprised, he always felt that Riley seemed to have become a little ...... after removing the pride of the strong man Infancy? After a moment of contemplation, Sean felt as if he needed to ask a question: "Speaking of which, how old are you now?" ”
"I've lived for two hundred years since memory was born." Riley pursed her lips, she didn't want to speak, but after thinking about it, she replied.
Sean's facial muscles, after listening to Riley's words, couldn't help but twitch a little uncontrollably.
According to the chronological boundaries of the blood clan, every 200 years is a new generation, which corresponds to the eighteen-year-old adulthood of human beings. If it's a bloodline that has been transformed through the first embrace, of course, that's a different story, but a pure-blooded bloodline like Riley, this age means that she's just just an adult - in some ways, the growth cycle of the bloodline is exactly the same as that of an elf, the only difference is that the bloodline's learning ability is more human-fast-paced, and as long as there is enough blood, it can even live an unusually long time.
Sean even had some doubts about whether the ancient god who created the blood race back then was created according to the standards of elves and humans. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the blood clan is generally a good-looking existence: whether it is appearance or figure, they are almost on par with the beauty of the elves, and although they also like luxury and gorgeous styles like the elves, they are not like the elves are simply obsessive-compulsive, and would rather be gorgeous than practical.
In addition, the biggest difference with elves is that the bloodlines generally have a very strong desire to learn, and they also have the same learning speed as humans, especially under the pressure of dangerous environments, they can even burst out with more powerful potential.
The only drawback is that the growth rate of strength is generally slow, and the growth method is also somewhat different: it is difficult to improve strength through exercise alone. Every duke-level bloodline is built on countless bones.
But in any case, it is certain that Riley is a young girl who has just come of age.
Moreover, because he had been under the oppression of Dorne before, and now that he knew that Dorne was going to die soon, Riley's mind was relaxed, and it was not incomprehensible that there would be such a young age as in front of him.
Sean's gaze fell on Riley's chest again: Hmm...... It's supposed to grow up, right? (To be continued.) )
