"Wait, we can't give up the balance we have now, our balance with humanity, and this balance is very important, we have paid the price because of the struggle for power before, if we blindly chase power and don't focus on survival, we will lose more space." Ophelina hurriedly interrupted William's incitement.

"It's not human blood at all, he says it's synthetic human blood." William turned to Ophelina and pointed at Mephistophelis.

Quetia and Lawrence, on the other hand, think both sides have a point.

And Kwai Tia said thoughtfully: "Strength and balance are important. Everyone's eyes turned to Kwai Tia again, "We can shield the risk through reasonable management methods, we can concentrate all the quotas in one high place, we can concentrate the power in our own hands, we manage our own people fairly, and we are punishers even if we are managers." ”

"I agree with Kwaitia, the centralization of power, which does not conflict with our previous management, and puts all the power in the hands of the nobles, and the rest of the class is still in order, I think this is very good." Lawrence made his arguments from a neutral point of view, and his conservative thinking made him more comfortable with the status quo.

"Okay, I think it's time to start voting, and that's the best way to end this pointless argument." William was already impatient, and then raised his hand, "I agree to cooperate." Mephistopheles smiled at William

"I'm against it." Mosal shouted, trembling a little from the anger.

Kwai Tia nodded and raised his hand, Lawrence looked at Ophelina and Mosal with a complicated expression of helplessness and regret, and then also raised his hand, he said to Mephistophelis: "I am in favor of Kwai Tia's proposal, if I find anything that harms the interests of the community in this cooperation, I will not let you go." ”

Mephistopheles shrugged his shoulders in agreement.

Mosal was very disappointed, looking at Ophelina next to her, and she knew that the general situation was gone, but she didn't believe that Mephistophelis had such a good heart willing to cooperate, there must be a bigger conspiracy here, she knew by looking at Mephistophelis's eyes that he was hiding other things, and she had to put on the posture of a nobleman if she wanted to figure it out thoroughly.

"Well, now that you of the Council have made up your mind, I should follow and respect the rules left by my ancestors, and I think this review is valid and documented." After saying that, she looked at Mephistopheles, and Mephistophelis's eyes showed a look of victory.

"I am very glad that we have made progress in this meeting, I will follow the cooperation model we have set, and I will provide you with the first batch of fresh blood next week, which is the beginning of sincere cooperation, and I hope you will also act as soon as possible to help me find that person." With that, he glanced at everyone present.

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Ophelina, she knew what everyone here meant, she held back the anger in her heart, and raised her eyes to see the oil portrait of her father, Duke Herbert, hanging on the door, she wanted to preserve the dignity and glory of the family, but also to protect her most beloved child, Olovia.

Ophelina slowly stood up, "Okay, that family first finds this person, informs the other family members and contacts in various places, and completes this matter together, no one can act on their own, we must have a careful deployment before we can act." After saying it simply, he looked at Mephistopheles.

"Okay guys, don't bother your Yaxing, I'm leaving." After bowing, he turned into a cloud of black smoke and flew out of the window.

After Mephistopheles was gone, William was the first to stand up, his face full of satisfaction, as if he had won a victory, and the radical had won a conservative victory, and he straightened his gown while looking at the rest of the people with contempt, a move that made the other elders very dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry guys, I have an appointment, so I'll take my leave." William said goodbye to the other elders in a mock way.

And Kweitia and Lawrence got up, Kwai Tia walked over to Olovia's side, "Sorry dear, it may have turned out to disappoint you, I think I should make a change appropriately......"

"Of course, Lord Kwaitia, I understand very well, and I may still not be able to get out of my prejudice against them......"

"Yes, let's take a tentative step first, and then we're looking at the situation, and we need to be careful." Lawrence was on the side to meet the Tao.

"I hope you don't think we're betraying you on purpose, we just want to ......"

"Of course not, Kwaitia, I never thought so, I think you are acting in the interests of the family, I hope you can stay for a few more days, let's have a good chat about the recent situation of everyone, please don't refuse my kindness." Although Ophelina didn't say that, she was actually complaining in her heart that Kwaitia had forgotten her family's hatred and cooperated with the demon again, and she had not lost the heart and dignity of a nobleman on the surface.

Kwai Tia and Lawrence nodded, and the two left the council hall.

Ophelina, on the other hand, walked unconcerned to the window, her hands caressing her forearms and blowing in the cool evening breeze, while Kwaitia and Lawrence whispered away, and Mosal walked behind Ophelina, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"It's a pity that we didn't ......, especially William, what kind of ecstasy did the devil give him."

Ophelina turned to Mosal and said, "It's okay, we've all done our best, sometimes we're all weak in the face of interests. ”

Mosal nodded in agreement, and Ophelina walked past him, who continued, "Maybe some things aren't as complicated as we think......

Ophelina turned to face Mosal again and whispered, "Maybe this is just the beginning. ”

There was conviction in her eyes.

In the dim light of the tavern, the old men and Willstein sat at the round table, no one wanted to break the silence, the fat bartender calmly wiped the dishes in the bar, and looked up from time to time to see the movement at the round table, everyone waited for Willstein to speak.

"I don't think it's a good idea, I can't let everyone jump into the fire pit with me just because Neo is hurt, I think some sacrifice is necessary." It was Willstein who broke the silence first.

"It's not your problem, Wellstein, there are some things that you can't avoid if you want to, it's too early to come sooner or later, and sacrifice is too early." One of the oldest people inside said.

Willstein didn't refute but nodded slightly, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, "Yes, all of you here are people who have survived the last battle, and we don't want to let them live in hatred if we don't say a word about our juniors, which is unfair to others." ”

"You're quite right." Everyone followed the voice and turned their eyes to Mattia, "You have such an idea, which just shows that we all still have basic human nature, our race's family concept is incomparable to other races, although we were bloodthirsty before, we can completely restrain our impulses, that is because we still have feelings, our blood is hot, not cold-blooded." ”

Everyone in the room, except for Welstein, agreed with Mattia. "Where does the power to overcome all this, from which we restrain our wildness and restrain our bloodlust, by the exhortation of Saint Paul?" Mattia looked at them and pointed to her heart, "Here." ”

Willstein nodded, "I don't deny your claim, Mattia. The road ahead of us is dangerous, and we will lose many lives for it. Willstein said, clasping his hands into fists on his chin.

"So let's all discuss here together, what we want is a plan and a plan for action, a plan with the least casualties, not a plan here to dwell on how to escape, you can't be so pessimistic, Wellstein, you have to know that today we sacrificed Neo, and the devil will catch the second and third Neo, should we still run away at that time? Since we are here to discuss solutions, we have the greatest trust in you. A man next to him patted Wellstein on the shoulder.

"Well, I'm very grateful for everyone's interest in Neo, if this is going to happen, we should have a more careful plan that can reduce our casualties." Welstein's eyes were steadfast.

"Let's send a small team of people to survey the environment first, and we have to be fully prepared later, surprise sneak attack, quick solution, we just achieve our goal." Someone suggested.

"It's hard to get a quick solution, after all, what we're looking for is the 'Death Rib', the Blood Clan can't put such a valuable thing in the bedroom in a grand manner, only Herbert's direct members can know the location of that thing, the fuse of the last war was that thing, in that case, Herbert was silent about the 'Death Rib', you can imagine how precious that thing is to them, we should hijack Herbert's people and take the location of the thing directly from their mouths." Objections were raised.

"It's too difficult, the kidnapping of Herbert is undoubtedly tantamount to death, their protection is too tight, and they are not stupid."

"We can be daytime, vampires are afraid of the sun, and we are fearless, and that's our advantage."

"I heard that Herbert is now in charge of his daughter Ophelina, and it is too difficult for her to go deep into Jane's work, but I heard that she has a daughter, and we can start with her."

This sentence was echoed by most of the people present, "Although it is dishonorable, it is more cost-effective than a direct frontal raid on Herbert Castle." ”

"If she doesn't comply, won't we end up at a dead end?"

"It shouldn't be, after the last war, there are fewer vampires who inherit the pure bloodline of the ancestors, and there are also large-scale hunting by humans, so that their pure-blooded blood clan is on the verge of extinction, and the current blood clan is slightly larger, and it is basically supported by three or four mixed vampires, those nobles and grand dukes will not show their heads at all, Ophelina should not let go of her daughter, that is the hope of continuing the family bloodline, and will pay more attention to the girl Ophelina."

After hearing this, Wellstein felt that it made sense, "Okay, what everyone said is very reasonable, our preparations for multi-handedness, the kidnapping will reduce everyone's casualties, if it is not a special situation, I will never be inclined to use such a method, now the situation crisis can only be like this, we need to know the location of that thing, this is our biggest difficulty, we should first go to the territory of the blood clan to find out the news, we have to find a team of experienced hunters to ......"

"Father, I'm willing to participate."

Everyone's eyes followed the sound, Neo came out from behind the door, covered in a blanket, the muscles of his upper body were angular, there was a bruised and bulging black vein in the heart, his eyes were full of longing and courage, Willstein stood up and looked at Neo.

"Father, I don't want to let others run around and fight for me while lying at home, I want to rush to the front, I will never be threatened by others because of a little injury for the glory of our wolf clan." Willstein patted Neo on the shoulder, looked at Neo's determined eyes, and nodded.

"Good. Be ready to go. Welstein turned to the audience and announced.

"Of course, Morin, your current position as mayor is at your fingertips."

"Great, Maureen." Hunter picked up two more glasses of wine from the table and handed them to Maureen, and the two clinked glasses happily.
