The elders and nobles of the family gradually arrived at the castle of the Herbert family, and after Herbert established the clan, he used the blood of his ancestors to give twelve people to form the family's council, each elder ruled each city-state separately, and the thirteen supreme rulers of the family voted on when there was a major decision.

After centuries of war against wolves and human crusades, the number of elders and city-states has plummeted, and there are now only five elders with primitive bloodline, namely Ophelina. Herbert, Mossal. Dillans, William. Minosta, Kwaitia. Sterman, Peter. Lawrence, among whom William. Mirosta belonged to the head of the later generation of the family, and also belonged to the representative of the radical faction, he ignored the system of the clan and secretly attacked humans and sucked human blood, although there is no reliable evidence, but rumors have already reached the ears of Ophelina and the other elders, who once beat William with little success.

After the sun set, the elders of the family waited for Mephistopheles to arrive in the hall of the council, and a strong wind blew from the window and the glass of the window made a trembling sound, the window was pushed open, the silk curtain was blown into the air, and it drifted in the air irregularly, and after a puff of black smoke flew over the table and dissipated, Mephistophelis appeared in front of everyone, still holding a silver-tipped cane in his hand, and this time Mephistophelis was standing in front of everyone with a silver locket in his other hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honour to meet you again on this evening." Mephistopheles bowed to all of you, and the word 'again' was thought-provoking.

"Alright, Mephistopheles, it's not the first time we've seen each other, put away your hypocrisy." Mosal looked at him with wary eyes, and his words expressed his displeasure and disdain for Mephistopheles.

"Of course, I like straight talks, long nights and time is of the essence, let's make a long story short." As he spoke, he put the box on the table, opened the box and picked up a stack of documents, raised his hand and showed it in front of everyone, everyone didn't know what he was going to do, everyone looked at each other.

However, instead of handing the papers, Mephistophelis picked up a plasma pack, then five crystal cups from the side, and poured the blood of the plasma into the crystal cups.

When the thick plasma slowly filled the bottom of the cup, all the elders present smelled the sweetness of human blood, everyone's eyes changed, all the pupils turned red, and the fangs in the mouth slowly grew out of the gums. Minosta, as if an addict was excited about seeing a drug.

Mephistopheles raised the corners of his mouth and looked at each of the vampires in the room with bad intentions, they smelled the human blood they had longed for, and he raised the crystal cup on the table and automatically swiped it in front of everyone.

Ophelina restrained her thirst for new human blood, she didn't want to be tempted and lose her temper, she didn't know what Mephistophelis was going to do, she had to fight with all this, she knew even more about the devil's tricks, he was tempting everyone here with the most primitive desires.

"Ladies and gentlemen, come and taste the human blood that you have longed for, and I will bring you more pure human blood, so that you can give up the filthy and smelly blood of those cattle and return to the bosom of purer, thicker, and delicious blood for many years." Mephistopheles saw that the elders present were suppressing their primitive desires, and he himself was satisfied with the arrangements for tonight.

"This is human blood, undoubtedly pure human blood, and our family has an agreement first, we no longer suck human blood in order to satisfy our own desires, our iron law you know, the new power of the blood clan depends entirely on the willingness or mating of human beings, and we also completely prevent the clan from attacking human beings, we do not accept the death of human beings due to cooperation." Sniffing the thick blood in the cup, Kwaitia. Sterman put down his glass and said sternly to Mephistophelis.

Ophelina, Mossal, and Lawrence nodded in agreement, while William rolled his eyes, dismissive of the conservative old guys.

"No, no, no, Lady Kwaitia, I didn't break your iron laws, first of all I didn't kill humans, and if you say that, I'm very wronged." Mephistopheles replied sadly.

"That's ......."

"You should believe in science, the current biological science can fully meet the supply of blood, without harming anyone on the premise, we use synthetic means to create 99.99% similarity of human blood, so that you can use it with confidence, and it does not conflict with the iron law of the nobles, I also hope to take this opportunity to make up for the damage we have done to you, I can also guarantee that we will establish a new cooperation model, we can continue to provide fresh blood to the nobles, We also want to change the stereotypes that the Bloodlines have about us, and we are now more like businessmen. Mephistopheles said the last sentence very seriously, and looked at everyone present with expectant eyes.

And everyone nodded yes after hearing Mephistopheles's words, but they still don't know what Mephistopheles's ultimate goal is.

"What do you want? Talk about your conditions and see how we can work together in the future? William had long since lost his interest in the matter.

"Aha." As if suddenly reminded of something, "I like Duke William's straightforwardness, let's talk about cooperation." I feel like we should start with something simple. Mephistopheles Phyllis lifted the folder from the table.

"Wait......" Mossar interrupted Mephistopheles, "at least I'm not ready to work for you, you never make loss-making deals, what you do best is to seduce others, and then you take more and more, never end." ”

"Don't be so ...... absolutely" Mephistophelis's face became gloomy, he was attacked unabashedly for the first time tonight, he still patiently explained: "First of all, Lord Mosar, I want to correct you, first of all, the cooperation between us is completely equivalent to cooperation, now hell is not what it used to be, if we want to continue to survive in this world, we must rely on all kinds of forces, now the boundary between the world and hell is tighter, and we are now more restrained in our actions, We have to rely on a powerful family like the Bloodline, and once again I want to emphasize that my cooperation with you can be terminated at any time, and the decision is entirely in your hands, and you should reconsider. Mephistopheles spread his hands and waited for the elders to speak.

"I think it's okay, since that's said, let's start working together first, and if there's a problem, we can terminate the cooperation." William made no secret of his interest in the matter, and did not care about the opinions of the other elders, a move that aroused the disgust of others.

"Tell me, what is the purpose of your visit to us this time? Are you still haunted by the existence of the so-called 'death ribs' in our family? Lawrence asked unabashedly.

"Of course not, my lord, that was a thing of the past, I don't need that thing at all, and in today's society, human beings are constantly developing, what I appreciate is human technology, who is still looking for that kind of weird thing to keep pace with the times, I just want to use the eyes of the blood clan in various places to help me find a person, whether it is life or death, of course, it is best to live, here is all the information of this person." After speaking, he handed the information to Ophelina.

Ophelina raised her hand to take the information, looked into Mephistophelis's eyes, and felt that there was a larger conspiracy hidden under the sincerity, and then everyone passed it on one by one.

"Why are you looking for this person?" Ophelina asked.

"This person inadvertently took something from me, of course, the specific content is not to be commented on, you just need to find this person."

Lawrence snorted and smiled as he closed the information and handed it to William, "Looking for someone?" You are omnipotent demons, you have more eyes and believers than me, it is not a problem for you to find anyone at all, you are better at such things than us, what else is there to write here. ”

Mephistopheles was not surprised by their suspicions, and he had no intention of hiding them.

"Yes, this human is indeed a bit tricky because he is not an individual."

"Please explain it carefully."

"Ugh." Mephistopheles was a little confused about how to answer, but he decided to take it seriously.

"There was an angel with him by his side, and we tried before, but we couldn't do anything about him. So, ......, I also want to re-establish our relationship through this thing, and I think this thing is a win-win cooperation. "Deliberately avoid the important and say what you think.

"Are you kidding?" Mosal hurriedly said, "You are sending us to death, you demons are afraid of angels, and we are the same, we are a charred black ash in front of the Light. Mosal slapped the table and shifted his body, leaning back in his chair.

"Wait, I didn't say that this matter will push you to the front line, I can lure that angel away, and then you can catch him, and then hand it over to me, as for the angel, you can rest assured, you don't need to deal with it, so we are in a cooperative relationship, don't mistake you for becoming my contractor."

"We still need to discuss......" Ophelina said calmly.

"I think this is an opportunity, it is because of some strange rules that our race has become weak, this cooperation is our opportunity to be strong, we should not back down because of a small sacrifice, we should also change to a new force." William stood up as he spoke, agitated.

"Don't say that later, how do we deal with that angel? I agree with Mosal that I rushed up to kill more people. "Peter. Lawrence interrupted William's delusions.

"I don't think it's a problem, we can find a way to lure that angel away, and then, if we do it again, I won't stand by and watch you die." Mephistopheles reassured the elders present.

"I still can't agree with your approach, I think this kind of cooperation is fundamentally fragile, we can't build even the most basic trust, and we can't bind the relationship between you and us, this matter has to be considered in the long run." Mosal strongly objected. He glanced at everyone in the room, looking at their expressions, Ophelina's face was expressionless, and there was an unspeakable opposition in her heart, Mosal was against it at all, Peter and Quetia were the grass on the wall, and William was the most enthusiastic.

William was obviously tired of such boring, progressless meetings, especially with such "old antiques", no progress, no proposals, no hope, he could not hold back any longer, he wanted to shout his heart, he wanted to resist this prevarication and conservatism between clans, he stood up.

"Well, since he's said so, we should take a step forward first, instead of making unfounded speculation here." William suggested.

"Don't be impulsive, William." Mosal said cautiously, while William rolled his eyes as he looked at the ceiling.

"Besides, I believe that everyone has had enough of those disgusting chicken blood, duck blood, and cow blood, what we need is real, pure, and fresh human blood, and we want to regain the long-lost glory of our family, we want to return to history, for the glory of our race, as members of the council, we have the responsibility to fulfill our responsibility for the prosperity of the race, and every decision we make is to ensure that the clan will be stronger in the future." William raised his fist in a heated debate and retorted Mossar sharply. "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 Mephistophelia.

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." ”
