Now, as if she had installed a bugging device in the Council of Elders, she asked me if I wanted to hear what the Presbyterian Council had to say about me, and I was anxious for her to tell me.

In the recording, Tiphon said: "I said it, I saw it with my own eyes, Nana can also testify, he single-handedly defeated a bloodline that none of us can defeat, plus Vasilisa claimed that he once repelled Abel, I really don't understand why you still don't believe it?" ”

Maxwell replied, "Allow me to express my astonishment, ma'am, for the event is so bizarre that I am sure the Archon himself is as astonished as I am." His past performance doesn't look like it contains.... So much potential. ”

"If you've ventured with him, you'll know that the unthinkable is often happening around him," Legang said. Think about it, think about everything he's accomplished, he may act like a fool at times, but a true wise man never reveals all his cards from the start. ”

Michael said, "Does it matter? He's still a fishbone, he's still my friend. ”

Bochi shouted, "Archon! With all due respect, you are naïve. He is like 10,000 tons of thermite explosives buried in the ground of a black coffin, which may explode at any time. ”

Michael said, "But what good is it for him that he blew us up?" Once the bomb explodes, it ceases to exist. ”

"He's human, we're blood, and bloods feed on humans, think of what Missouri does, do you think humans who know our nature won't be hostile to us?" ”

Michael said: "Even though Fishbone hid his prowess from me, I firmly believed that our friendship was real. ”

Bochi's tone sounded irritable and impatient, and he said, "Listen to yourself, does this sound like the words of the archon?" ”

Le Gang said coldly: "Then what do you think should be done?" We lure him into an ambush and get rid of him? Don't forget, Bochi, we have no reason and no spare energy to do that. ”

Bochi said: "What happened to kidnapping his wife, manipulating his relatives, and plotting against his cronies? You vampire monsters do one thing after another against your own people, but when it comes to a naïve mortal, you become pure and innocent one by one? ”

This manic offer scares my heart, what would I do if he did, and Michael and they agreed?

"There are usually two ways to control a person, one is to make him scared and make him a slave. The other is to make him happy and make him allied with us. So, let's vote. If you agree with the former, please raise your hand. ”

After a brief silence, Bochi said angrily: "A bunch of soft eggs, a bunch of cowards! ”

Michael said, "Bishop, don't go too far. ”

Ti Feng said, "After a vote, our blood clan will do our best to reconcile with the fish bone. ”

"The Black Coffin will grant him the title of Marquis of Longinus, and grant him an eighty-three-story mansion that I once lived in, and ask him to be the godfather of my child Sousa," Michael said. ”

"I can hire him as the honorary dean of the soon-to-be-founded Ranger Military Academy, a special operations adviser to the Valkyrie Wing," Lesteel said. ”

Maxwell smiled bitterly, "I can't imagine that our blood clan is so humble and flattering to a human being, Mai Zong, what do you think?" ”

Mai Zong said: "I have reservations, as you like." ”

Tiphon said, "Doctor, please answer me truthfully, if Fishbone Longinus has the intention of threatening the survival of the Bloodline in the future, is there anything you can do to stop him?" ”

Mai Zong said, "Why do you ask me? Why not ask the actual leader of the Black Coffin? ”

Tiphon: "I suspect that the Archon, and the forces behind him, may not be enough to contain Longinus. And you always surprise us. ”

Mai Zong sighed, "For thousands of years, we have been gods hanging above humans, but above us, there have also been gods who manipulate us. Humanity has coexisted with us to this day, and we are at peace with our God. This world has its own power to maintain balance, and even the sun, which once destroyed everything, has finally become silent and gentle, hasn't it? ”

"You want to discuss theology with me now?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no point in arguing here. I wouldn't choose to be against Longinus, but even if the situation could deteriorate, I don't think we should overreact. You are not lacking in wisdom and should be sensible. That's all I have to say, and I beg you to take my leave. ”

This concludes the meeting.

I listened to the debate with bated breath, and when it was over, I couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

"This meeting was two days ago, and they were preparing to summon you back and give you the above reward," said Lacka. ”

I asked, "What do you think?" ”

"I can't discern what they say. My data shows some kind of extreme contradiction, first of all, I don't think that the Duke of Tiphon misjudged your strength, you are indeed the one who defeated Constencia, and you are indeed the one who contained Abel. However, according to my statistics on your combat power index, there is no way that you can have that kind of strength. ”

I guess I must have turned white with fear.

Lacka: "I judge that your strength is extremely unstable, at some times, you are not strong, but at other times, you are more than measured. ”

I asked, "So... Your conclusion is...."

"You still need my help, you need the help of the black coffin, so I will still take care of you, lest your bad luck bring you to it." ”

I am lovely and reliable, and you are as joyful as my dutiful and prosperous daughter, and reassure my old father.

I left the mansion and decided to meet Michael, I was touched by what he said at the meeting, I couldn't believe that there was such a big heart in the Bloodline.

I will tell him that I will always stand by his side and support him. I was ashamed of my suspicions of his friendship with me, and it was time for me to repay his trust.

As I approached the elevator to the top floor, several elite arbiters guarding the elevator stood up straight, I couldn't see their expressions, but their breathing became low and short, and they were nervous.

The leader of them asked, "Marquis of Longinus!" When did you come back? ”

Marquis?

I pretended not to hear and said, "Just today I have come to see the consul, will he be free to receive me?" ”

The captain of the arbiter said, "Your Excellency says you must not be stopped at any time. ”

Do they know?

Yes, they all know.

Great.

I stepped into the palatial halls of the consuls, the arbiters well-trained and motionless, like some armor display. Every time I passed through this corridor in the past, I couldn't help but be amazed by their majesty, as if I were walking under the gaze of giants.

But now, they seem to have shrunk, and one by one they want to lower their heads, shrink their bodies, and avoid me, from the air that I disturb.

Belle was right that vanity is a good thing.

When I got to Michael's reception hall, I shouted, "Old friend, I'm back!" Without saying a word, he gave him a warm hug. Michael said, "Fishbones, you scared us all." ”

I said, "I never tried to lie to you, but you never asked, and I'm such a low-key and gorgeous person.... It's not an excuse, I just want to tell you that I haven't changed and I'm always on your side. ”

Michael smiled sincerely, and told me all the accolades promised me in the recording, and the titles of mansion, knighthood, dean, and war hero sounded like a melodious fairy music in my head.

He ordered an arbiter to bring Sousa and sat down with me for a chat. He was a busy man, not as laid-back as he used to be, but it was really pleasant to talk to a chatty and polite aristocrat like him.

Soon after, Sosa appeared before us, and after he bowed, he looked at me with the eyes of a hero, and I was a little embarrassed to see the fawn in my heart.

Michael said, "I ask you to be the godfather of this child, to teach him, to protect him, to be his master and master, and that he will honor and love you forever." ”

But I was not religious at all, neither Christianity nor Cainism.

But I believe that nothing matters, it's just a formality, just like those big men in ancient times who married each other, and he gave this child and me such a layer of affection, in order to show me his kindness.

For the members of the Hidden Sect, the godfather was even more important than the father, a person they had to trust throughout their lives.

I smiled and said, "So what are you waiting for?" Just let me be this peach picking.... Ahem.... The gardener who cultivated the saplings is ready. ”

It's dangerous! I almost said the wrong thing, it wasn't my intention, but the evil thoughts that remained in my heart like a ghost.

Fuck Belier! What a wicked beast you are!

Sosa knelt down on one knee before me and said, "I, Sosa Michael, swear in the name of Cain, that I recognize Mr. Fishbone Longinus as my godfather, and serve him all the rest of my life, revere him, love him, trust him, and regard him as the embodiment of Cain on earth." ”

I said, "I, Fishbone Longinus, swear in the name of Cain that I will recognize Sosa Michael as my godson, and will protect him all the days of my life, guide him, correct him, trust him, and regard him as my duty and duty, so that he may be the glory and example of Cain." ”

I couldn't feed him blood, because it was poisonous and could poison mortals, so Michael suggested using wine instead, and I took a sip of wine and watched as the perfect sculptural boy drank wine mixed with my saliva into his bright red lips.

Ah, he's not drunk, so why am I drunk?

Stop, fishbones, stop, remember that you are not a philosopher, much less a gentleman, but a saint.

Michael asked Sosa to walk around with me and be taught by me. What does this kid mean? I remember that in ancient China, there was an evil custom of letting maids serve the guests of honor, and what did he think of my saint Longinus?

Sosa pestered me all afternoon, without stopping, and finally exhausted me.

He pestered me over and over again about the causes and consequences of the battle against Constencia, the details. He adored me so much that at one point, I really felt like I had such a flawless son.
