"Mom, who is that man? Why is it that you look at that man's face that worries me? Olovia entered the council chamber and watched as Ophelina stood by the window in a daze.

Interrupted by Olovia's thoughts, she looked back at her daughter walking briskly towards her with a long skirt, and a trace of melancholy welled up in her heart.

"Honey, baby, it's a demon from hell, they have come to disturb our peace again, I don't know what his purpose is, I feel like another calamity in the family has begun." After her daughter ran in front of her, she answered calmly, but her heart was churning.

"And what does he want to do?"

"The demons are going to use us to their advantage again, and they think we are pawns of the demons."

"Then why didn't you refuse him? We don't need to compromise with them now......"

Ophelina stopped, turned and put her hands on her daughter's shoulders, "We tried, but he was too powerful, and they held our lifeline. So, I have no choice, and when necessary, we can only compromise and become the executioners of the devil. ”

"I remember Mrs. Molina once lecturing to us, about the last time the demon provoked a feud between us and the wolf clan, and we both suffered heavy casualties, and finally our two clans united to drive the demon back to hell, this time...... We can no longer help the demons, the years of silence between the two races have brought us comfort, and we yearn for peace all the more. ”

"Of course my dear, I am more steadfast than any ruler, peaceful coexistence is more precious, not only us and the wolf clan but also humans, I am also willing to give everything I have for the stability of the race, I don't know if I can...... Yes. ”

"Mother......" Olovia was sad to hear her mother say this.

"For the survival of our race, I can only reconvene the Council of Elders and have them negotiate a result. Olovia, you shouldn't be involved, I don't want to see everything I've ever seen, you're going to get out of here tomorrow night, preferably now, if you can. Ophelina looked at her daughter distressedly, stroking his fair face with her hand.

"The elders of the council will not be willing to be at the mercy of the devil, the demon is boring for himself, as long as everyone supports it, I don't need to go." Olovia said confidently.

"My child, you still don't know much about our family's history. Moreover, there will be more ambitious people in the Council, and, according to our current capabilities, it will be very difficult to stop Mephistopheles, whose appearance will lead to a war, the most recent of which we are close to ruin, for which your grandfather and father paid a heavy price 300 years ago. ”

"Why not unite with other families? Let's say, I'm talking about the wolf clan or some other tribe. ”

"No, baby, you have to know that many people are prisoners of interest, and besides, we can only rely on ourselves, and they are difficult to trust. I don't want to discuss this anymore, I need to think quietly, and you will leave here tomorrow night at the latest, and go north, you are now my only bond. Ophelina didn't want to discuss it any longer, she stroked her daughter's face and said eagerly, the only hope for Olovia was to let her leave as soon as possible.

Ophelina hurriedly turned away, leaving Olovia in the hall alone as she watched her mother's back disappear at the end of the hallway.

Ophelina knew that now was not the time to grieve, but to summon the elders of the clan and reopen the council, and she would do her best to prevent the ambitious elders in the council from bringing disaster to the family, and she would face everything with the spirits, hoping that those ambitions would be strangled in the cradle before the worst came.

The news soon spread to the elders of the various families, and the elders were all very surprised, except for major events, the elders of the various families rarely met, and when they heard Mephistophelis, each elder's reaction was different, most of them were worried, most of them had witnessed or experienced the last catastrophe, and were more cautious about the demon's visit.

On the second night, there were two SUVs in front of the luxurious Rolls-Royce in the middle and a strict convoy of multiple USVs in the back, very quietly drove into the Herbert family territory, through the tree-lined path through the territory gate, the car was crushed on the gravel path, making a "bar-la-la" sound, Rolls-Royce smoothly stopped at the gate of the castle, the first to arrive was the Duke of Mosal in the blood family and the Herbert family is the closest, in the era of Herbert's rule, his position is as important as the prime minister of the country, Loyal to Herbert, even if he became an elder, he was also the most powerful supporter of the Herbert family, and at the gate of the castle, Ophelina led the family to wait for the arrival of the Duke of Mossar, and after seeing the car stopped, the butler stepped forward to welcome Mossal's arrival.

"Hello, Duke Mosar. I am very happy to meet you, and I sincerely greet you on behalf of the head of the family. The butler opened the door for Mossal.

"Thank you, Francis, and I'm glad to meet you too." Mosal moved and got out of the car.

Ophelina said as she spread her arms and hugged Mossal.

"Ophelina, I heard your news here, and I'm here right away, hoping that we can get through this time together." Ophelina's hearing Mosal say this gave her a lot of comfort and confidence.

"Hello, Duke Mossal." Nearby, Olovia saluted Mossal.

"Oh, my dear little princess, you have grown so much that I don't recognize you anymore. The last time I saw you, you were still a little girl, and now, slim, you have completely inherited the temperament of the Herbert family. Mosal praised Ophelina's beauty and temperament, and after embracing Morovia, the three nobles entered the castle, and after a sumptuous dinner, Mosal and Ophelina came to the study.

"Tell me, Ophelina, what the hell is going on, what is Mephistophelis's purpose? We've got to find a way to stop Mephistopheles' ambitions, and you and I both know that these demons are shameless people, and we have to refuse whatever they want to do. Mosal asked Ophelina excitedly.

"Don't get excited, Duke Mosar." Ophelina pressed her hands down, then sat down on the couch and continued: "Actually, Mephistophelis asked us to find someone to blackmail me into reactivating the Council, at first I didn't want to, his abilities are familiar to you and me, if he ...... Olovia, or find you directly, it will be easy, I think we should unite again to deal with this matter in order to be safe." ”

"I understand, I understand, you're doing the right thing, Ophelina, don't be sorry for that, anyone can do that, but why would you want to start the council when you are looking for someone? It's a bit of a fuss, who needs us...... Don't they have the ability? Or is there a bigger conspiracy in there? We have to think long term. Duke Mosal comforted.

"Yes, I'm afraid of bringing our race to extinction again." Ophelina was frustrated.

"Don't be so pessimistic now, we don't know exactly what will happen yet, and then I believe that the other elders are in the same opinion and behavior in the face of Mephistopheles, and no one wants to see the demon pointing fingers in the family and being indifferent." Mosal comforted her again.

"Do you say we're going to go to war with the wolves again this time?" Ophelina asked curiously.

Mosal thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, I don't think that's the case, after experiencing the last incident, in fact, no one has benefited, on the contrary, the casualties of these two groups are heavy, after many years of silence, the two groups are quite peaceful, there is a wolf tribe in the Scottish Highlands, I have sent people to investigate the situation there, and the signs show that everyone wants to live their lives in peace, I believe they think so too." ”

Mosal took a sip of wine and continued: "I firmly believe that this time it will not be a fight between the two clans, our two tribes have nothing that interests Mephistopheles Phyllis, last time because of the wolf clan's defection we had a chance to take advantage of, hurt Mephistophelis's vitality, according to the current calculation, it will be about 300 years, and it will appear in the world again, I doubt that he still does not give up, remember why last time?" ”

Ophelina nodded earnestly, "Ribs of death, huh." ”

Mosal nodded yes: "Yes, maybe this thing doesn't exist at all, no one has ever seen it, it's just a fictitious thing." After saying that, Mosal raised his hand to show no disdain.

"But he always thought that we hid that thing, and we can't prove that it wasn't in our family now."

"We should wait and see what the other elders have to do about it, we're deliberating." Mosal finally offered his opinion.

"Yes, that's all we have for now." Ophelina nodded helplessly in agreement.

Walking to the window and looking at the bright night sky outside, two days later was the turning point of the family, seeing that the housekeeper at the door was carrying luggage to the car, Olovia looked up at the door and saw Ophelina's figure, her heart was extremely heartbroken, she doubted and even feared that this was the last time to see her mother, and Ophelina felt comforted, and the wait was long.

※

Deep in the Highland Forest.

An old woman who came in a hurry rushed into the tavern with the bartender, and saw Neo lying on the ground and the 'head wolf' who guarded his father, the Welstein tribe, the two looked at each other and said nothing, knelt on the ground and looked at the black veins in Neo's heart, leaned down and sniffed with their noses.

After Mattia saw it, she looked solemn and pulled Willstein to a quiet corner.

"Wei, I've probably heard about ......"

"Mattia, Neo's situation."

Mattia stood up, turned back to the fat bartender and nodded, "Help put him back on bed, he needs to rest." The fat bartender agreed, picked up Neo and went through the door.

"Okay, others, please go back, you may have to close early today." Mattia spoke to the rest of the group, watching the others go, before turning back and sitting down across from Welstein.

"Neo is fine at the moment, but there is a force that is eroding his heart, it is the evil energy from hell, it is like planting a time bomb on the heart, if it is ......, the longer it is, the more dangerous it will be for Neo, so we have to find a solution as soon as possible, unless someone can remove this power, Neo is very dangerous." Willstein raised his hand to interrupt Mattia's conclusion.

"How do you dismantle the 'time bomb' you are talking about?"

"I'm not sure, I'll have to go back and look at the records, this is clearly a threat, in general, if there is 'darkness', there will be 'light', and it is the worst thing to solve it with the power of light, since our identity comes from the power of 'light', it will definitely not work, I can only look again, or if we have a solution with the help of other witch groups."

Willstein turned around and felt very little and pessimistic, looking at Neo, he felt a kind of distress and sadness, Mattia saw Welstein's thoughts, walked up and stroked his back, "We should keep Neo, he is still young, it is our hope." ”

"I know that I can't push an entire clan to the brink of extinction because I am my own child, which means another war between us and the Blood, and our losses are too great for me to take this risk."

"I don't agree, we never give up on any of our members, whether it's your son or not, this is not the time for us to show generosity, it's unfair to everyone else." Looking at Mattia's determined eyes and unrelenting lashing, Willstein didn't know if what he was doing was the right thing.

"But I also have the right to keep our people safe."

"Will, you should know that you're right, if rebellion can bring a turnaround, then we will be free from the harassment of hell."

"You mean to say that we should do what Mephistopheles wanted?"

"Not exactly, we should be looking for an opportunity, and there is no way to do it."

"Let me think about it again, tomorrow I will gather everyone to discuss, the stakes are so high, I can't make this decision rashly."

Willstein picked up Neo and went upstairs, he sat next to him and watched Neo lie quietly on the bed, I knew that he had a great responsibility, and that any decision would push the clan to a point of no return, and looking at his son unconscious in bed, he was in a difficult situation.

In the early morning of the second day, the sun just shot the first rays of morning light from the summit of the mountains, the light began to spread forward on the earth, and it was snow-covered outside the earth, the bronze bell on the square was ringed, and the crisp sound resounded throughout the village and the valley, everyone heard the bronze bell ringing in the square, put down the work in their hands and walked out of the outdoor one after another to move closer to the square, the scattered snowflakes that were still falling in the sky, the villagers were crowded and waiting for the announcement of major events, after all, the bronze bell had not been deliberately ringed for a long time, Some people whispered below, and the news spread quickly, and everyone knew that the demon in Hell had come to the village last night and attacked Neo.
