A battle between two tribes
After several years, Herbert has never been able to stop the harassment of Tres by 'hunger' and 'plague', and now Tress is already terminally ill and skinny, lying in bed worse than death, Herbert wants to secretly drip blood into her water, but he still resists, the trust and respect between the two make Herbert always maintain a rational attitude towards Tresse, and whenever night falls, he accompanies Tress to sleep.
When Mephistophelis re-entered Herbert's castle, he asked Herbert for the 'rib of death'.
One night, while Herbert and the other nobles were discussing matters, Mephistophelis pushed open the door and entered the main hall, much to the surprise of the other nobles. Minosta got up and pointed at Mephistopheles and scolded, "Who is so rude to break into the council chamber without permission?" ”
Spearmen and infantry with spears rushed into the council chamber and surrounded the entire hall, Mephistophelis sneered as he looked at everyone as he took off his gloves, "It's amazing, you're moving faster than I thought, Lord Duke." He raised the weapon in the soldier's hand with both hands, and the fist floated in the air without leaving his hand, and the soldier looked at the sharp blade above his head, and they were a little timid. Mephistopheles' hands sank, and all the sharp weapons turned their guns and flew towards Herbert.
Herbert sat calmly in the center of the round table, without any wavering, and the spears stopped two fingers away from Herbert, and all flew towards Mephistophelis, and with a wave of the spear that flew back in front of him, flew elsewhere, and the hall was full of spears.
"Huh?" Mephistopheles Phyllis made a questioning voice, the action just now was not the ability released by Herbert himself, there were other people here who could magic, he looked at the lady not far from Herbert, could it be her?
"All right, Mary. Xin Sidi. Lensbal ...... "Herbert stood up, the lady owed to Herbert, she glanced at everyone, did not say anything but waved her hand to the guards, the guards rushed out and closed the door, Herbert stood up from his throne, walked past the nobles, and looked at Mephistophelis below, his eyes were still the same as that night many years ago, cold and hateful.
"Everyone, let me introduce you to you, this is Mephistophelis, a demon from hell."
Everyone cast malicious glances at Mephistophelis, they wanted to crush every bone of him, they wanted to drink his blood, Herbert deliberately humiliated him in front of everyone, the Herbert in front of him was no longer the ordinary human, now he was sitting on the entire blood empire, turning a blind eye to the demon from hell, and he hated the demon in front of him who made him lose everything.
"Herbert, I have given you everything you have now, you should thank me for giving you eternal life, I think it's time for you to pay me a little interest, and I don't think it's an exaggeration to give me the 'rib of death' in exchange."
"You've also caused me and Tres eternal pain." Herbert was high up and looked at Mephistophelis below, his words cold and devoid of any emotion.
"Pain? It's a meaningless emotion that you should have given up a long time ago, and that emotion will only make you weak and timid, as it is now. ”
"yes, so you'd be glad you could still be here for so long, or you'd ......." Herbert's words drew laughter from the elders on both sides.
"Well, let's not argue about these pointless topics, I want you to hand over the 'ribs of death' so that I can help you destroy the wolf clan."
"You want to control 'death' and let 'death' work for you?" Herbert said.
Mephistophelis looked at Herbert with resentment, and he finally suppressed his anger, "You see, you must know that I created you, and I can create and destroy you, so I don't think you have any capital to resist, I am the 'God' of your clan, you should be more humble and respectful to me, instead of letting you guess and judge my decision, I tell you that what I want to do has nothing to do with you." ”
"Then get out of here, disappear from my eyes, your disgusting face has made the whole hall stink."
Tari. Ross. Elder Reslond stood up and shouted a shout, and the others also stood up and prepared to fight to the death against this unreasonable demon, including Mossar, who was a military staff officer. Dillans, Kwaitia. Lord Sturman, Peter. Baron Lawrence, Morayel. Minosta et al.
Mephistopheles trembled with anger, he suppressed his emotions again and said with a sinister smile: "I know that your wife, Tress is now being harassed by 'plague' and 'hunger', if you know each other, I can take her to hell and end her suffering, I think this deal is very worthwhile." ”
Hellbert was even more angry when he heard this, and he opened his mouth with two pointed teeth in front of him, "I have tried the blood of every living creature in the world, and I am now very curious about what the blood of demons tastes like. ”
He threw himself at Mephistophelis, and he turned into a cloud of black smoke that sent Herbert into the air, and the smoke swirled over the hall, and he now understood that everyone present had their own abilities.
Mephistophelis knew that if here he didn't have an advantage at all, he shouted "You'll regret it." After saying that, it turned into black smoke and flew out of the window.
Mosal stepped forward and said to Herbert: "Lord, the devil will not give up easily, I don't know when he will come back again, we should be careful, especially the lord's wife, she may be the first target of the devil to blackmail you." ”
Herbert felt that Mosal was right, and he looked at Mitya, who was a mage of the Bloodline and was proficient in all kinds of dark arts, and Mitya nodded knowingly and said, "Yes, my lord, I have placed a spell around the lady's room to prevent the invasion of demons. ”
Herbert looked at the moonlight outside the window, picked up a rose from the vase beside him and walked to the inner sanctum, where Tress was very fond of roses.
※
Mephistophelis hits a soft nail with Herbert, and he reluctantly appears in the werewolf's village.
The people there are packing up the food they have hunted, they now need more meat in addition to blood to ensure their physical strength and metabolism, winter is approaching here again, and now the food is getting scarce, they have to go deeper and farther to dabble, Maran Snod is planning whether to move again, he is thinking about preparing to go south, where the weather is much more than here, and the food is plentiful.
They still use the most primitive tools to dabble, the amount of food ingested in the whole village is limited, of course, it is much better than the original, everyone has to feed the next generation of children in addition to survival, Maran Snod They are more eager to return to the appearance of adults, their continuous efforts can not remove the werewolf factor in the body, nor can they restore the soul that humans have, they also have to restrain their animal nature, many young people and villagers with poor willpower can not resist the animal nature in the body, Their thirst for blood far outweighs their interest in anything.
Mephistopheles Phyllis walked on the muddy village road, his boots and clothes were full of mud marks, he shook his head very puzzled that the gap between the development of werewolves and vampires was too big, he realized that people's thinking consciousness is also a key factor in the transition between left and right, and he suddenly regretted choosing the wrong object.
His arrival attracted the attention of the villagers, who looked at him from afar, their eyes containing all kinds of looks, curiosity, rejection, indifference, because of the strange smell of his body, Mephistophelis like a passing traveler, opened his arms and shouted to the villagers: "Hello, I am lost, I want to settle here." ”
A few people looked at it and did not stop what they were doing, and when Mephistopheles shouted again, a strong man with a full beard was handling a deerskin, threw away the scraper in his hand, wiped his hands with an apron and walked towards Mephistophelis, the two looked at each other eye to eye, Mephistophelis said, "Wow, hello, friend, I want to rest here." ”
The man looked him up and down, probed his head, and said, "Dude, you have come to the wrong place, this is not the place you should be, I suggest you go east and try your luck there, there may be something you need there." ”
The smell in his mouth rushed straight to Mephistopheles, and he tried to tilt his head sideways not to be smoky by the stench, "Sir, I don't think it's any different here, I just want to simply settle down and drink some water to fill my stomach." He walked past the man, pointing to the wooden house in the village, and said to the strong man, "Very characteristic wooden house, smoke and smoke, fresh air, completely in the embrace of nature, I guess it is a good place, if it can be paved with stones......" He looked up again and saw that his feet were covered with heavy mud.
Before Mephistopheles could finish speaking, the man came up and grabbed him by the collar, picked him up, leaned close to his face, and said, "I told you, you are not welcome here, this is my warning to you, get out of here before everyone is ugly." ”
Mephistopheles covered his nose with his hand and said, "Ugly, I like the word, it's appropriate." He put his hand on the strong man's chest and gave it a nudge, and the man flew out, rolling several times on the mud, and he rolled in a werewolf stance, hunched over and outstretched his arms and roared at Mephistophelis.
Mephistophelis took out a white handkerchief, nodded softly, and said, "Come, let me see what you are capable of." ”
This roar caused the whole village, and the villagers gathered around to tear the 'gentleman' apart, and each with a weapon in his hand, surrounded Mephistopheles, and the werewolf shouted: "You are dead today, and you will regret your actions today." ”
"Oh? Is it? I don't think so, because ......" Mephistophelis held out a hand with a black flame in his hand.
"Wait a minute." Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, everyone was attracted by the voice, and the voice looked at the crowd to make way for that, and he walked in and looked at Mephistophelis, and said, "I don't care where you come from, you are not welcome here, please leave, we don't want any conflict." ”
"I guess you're going to stop talking about it for a while?"
"I don't think that's the case...... you better go, just act as if nothing happened, lest everyone get hurt." After saying that, the man turned and walked away, he stopped after a few steps, raised his head and closed his eyes to smell the smell in the air, the smell that he could not forget for a long time, it was this smell that led him and the whole existence to the point of no return, he turned his head sharply, and looked at Mephistopheles with his eyes that shimmered yellow.
"I didn't expect you to suppress the beastly nature in your heart." After Mephistopheles had finished speaking, the man turned and rushed to him, grabbing him by the collar with both hands, and scanning the man's face with both eyes.
He said fiercely: "You are the one who appeared in the snow that night, it was you, it was you who made me like this, I remember the smell of you, I will never forget this smell." "Malan Snod said 'it's you' very seriously.
"Hey, I said Maran Snod, wait a minute, don't get excited, I saved you, did you forget?" Mephistopheles held out two hands in front of him, trying to reassure him as much as possible, "You said that you want to live, you don't want to die like this, you asked me to save you, and we also made a contract, have you forgotten?" ”
Malansnod was powerless to let go of his hand and let go of the demon, and the villagers began to discuss, this was the truth they had not known all along, he bowed his head weakly, he had made a mistake because of his greed, and he had harmed so many villagers, his actions made him ashamed, embarrassed and even sad, he woke up from self-blame for countless days and nights, he heard some of the villagers accusing him of turning himself into a monster, and everyone's discussion hit his heart like nails.
"Wow, you're blaming yourself...... I don't think there's anything to blame for this......" Mephistophelis said, covering his mouth, shouting to everyone present, "If you want to get rid of this, I can help you, just pay a little price." After hearing this, there was another noisy discussion.
"I don't believe your nonsense, you're the devil......" Malan Snod said viciously.
"Let him say that we all want to change back to what we were......" someone shouted from the crowd, and many others echoed.
"It seems that the public opinion is like this, I can talk about the conditions, how about it." Mephistopheles said to Maran Snood while the iron was hot.
