A game-breaking conjecture
"Risley, what did you just want to tell me?" Thomas asked in a low voice as he sat down on the couch and leaned closer to Resley.
"Rose, do you remember?" Resley cast a determined look.
Thomas thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know what you're going to say. ”
"Thomas, remember Add's prophecy?" Thomas nodded, gesturing for Resley to be more detailed.
"Well, in the prophecy the weather represents the situation, the knight represents the vampire, the Orion represents the werewolf, what does the lady lying in the rose garden represent, and what is the rosary in her hand, and why the Orion is behind the wheat field and not the forest, in fact these are all meaningful."
Thomas seemed to slowly recall the meaning of Eddie's prophecy after being reminded by Risery, and before he could think of anything, Risery interrupted him, "More coincidentally, Lilith asked me to find 'the rose that is eternally attached to love', remember?" Is there a connection? Although Thomas couldn't remember Add's prophecy clearly, Lilith remembered the words very well, and Resley reminded Thomas to lean back on the couch with her hands crossed.
Thomas put his fist on his mouth, his eyes looked directly at the ashtray on the table, the blue smoke from the cigarette on the edge of the ashtray, and the blue smoke rising from the gray-white soot rose higher and darker, as if to indicate that things were getting more and more confusing, and he had not yet figured out the origin of the 'death rib' and the 'rose' thing.
Starting from the 'twins' thing, no, it should be said that from the beginning of the escape, everything that happened to me was so compact, I was like a chess piece, walking in my own square regularly according to every move, and placing it where I should be without deviation, is this my fate? More precisely, the fate of Affy Miller, are we really the variables in 'fate'?
He turned back to Resley and whispered, "No matter what, we can't give up on Olovia's clue. ”
Resley didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement.
"Since Add's prophecy mentions 'roses', it's likely that this thing is also in the hands of the vampires, so we'll have to use our current resources, I guess." Resli listened to Thomas's words, but still didn't say anything, and nodded in agreement.
Thomas, I don't agree with you to make a deal with vampires, they shouldn't exist in the world at all, they are the spirits of the Father banished in the world, they defile the peace and beauty of the world.
Don't get excited, Affie Miller, we didn't say we were going to make a deal with the vampires, but we needed their help, we had no other way, and the vampires had been around for a long time, and there must be a reason for not dying.
What do you mean?
Hegel's "Principles of the Philosophy of Law" once said, 'Everything that is rational is realistic, and everything that is realistic is rational', which is what I just said, 'Being is reasonable', you should read more books on human beings, there are many good things in them.
What does this have to do with this?
It is very likely that they are also waiting for us to arrive, because they have what we need .......
Thomas was talking to Affie Miller in his heart, and saw Olovia and Jorah coming down from the stairs and walking towards Thomas, and Jorah still stared at him and Resley with an alert look, which made Thomas very uncomfortable, and he changed positions on the sofa, her expression full of rejection and alertness, indicating that Olovia did not hide his and Resley's identities.
After Olovia's mutual introduction, the general situation is introduced, but Olovia hides the secret of Jorah's blood, while Resli cuts straight to the point.
"Jorah, since you're a guard who came to protect Olovia, I want to ask, how much do you know about the Death Ribs?"
"Not much, I just know that it is something that has been passed down in the family, I guess no one has seen it, at least I haven't seen it, and I don't know where this thing is." Jorah simply blocked it back.
"Then since no one knows, then why did the demons line up the wolf clan to search for your castle, and it seems that the demons have obtained more and more accurate information than you or all of us, do you think?"
"Yes, I don't deny this, in fact, the last war between the two families was also because of this, the difference is that it was the Duke of Herbert and Maran Snord who teamed up to drive Mephistophelis back to hell, so we all don't want to mention this thing, and we also think that it will only bring bad luck, and the demon who has been silent for 300 years is still unwilling to let the defeat last time come back again, and it seems that this time it will not be obtained." Death ribs' feel that they are not good enough to give up, if they have to say who knows the whereabouts of this thing, then the head of the house should have more say. ”
Thomas and Reslie looked at each other, and it seemed that all the blame for the problem was pointed at Olovia's mother, Ophelina, and it was a breakthrough.
"Well, then, I'd like to ask for your help in introducing your head of the house, and that's not too much to ask." Thomas continued with Resley's questioning.
"If, I mean, I don't think there's anything wrong with what you usually ask, but not now, we suspect that our family has been planted by demons, and we are being pursued by the wolf clan, I don't think it's a good time, if you can help us through this crisis, I think the head of the family will be happy to help you two."
When Thomas heard Jorah say this, he immediately felt that this was a naked exploit.
They are using him and Affimele to relieve the werewolf crisis, if in the right situation, they push us to the front of their position, using us as a shield, this is pushing us to the position they think is most suitable, and we definitely don't want to get involved in the battle between the two races, if the situation is serious, they will not even hesitate to abandon us, then the best situation is that the three sides are enemies, or the four sides are enemies, and the worst result is that they will unite the demons and the wolf clan to eradicate us first, And then there is a fight, it's too insidious.
Resley thinks the same thing as Thomas.
Thomas's fist-clenched hand was put to his mouth again, and he stared at Jorah in a daze, this guard's idea was not simple, should he agree or not to agree to their request?
Thomas looked at Resley, who had been staring at him, and Reslie shook her head slightly, but Thomas didn't react.
"We only want to know the whereabouts of the Death Ribs, and we have no intention of getting involved in your fight with the Wolves." Resley bluntly rejected Jorah's offer.
"I'm very sorry, ma'am, we can't help you with this at this time, I hope you can understand the situation we are facing, we have not been able to provide you with help, and please do not divulge Miss Olovia's travels, after all, we have no ill will, and we have no ill will towards humans." Jorah, who is neither humble nor arrogant, leaves them too much leeway.
Does she really want to send off guests or is she gambling? Thomas and Risery share the same idea.
Jorah looked at Olovia and nodded at her, and Olovia nodded very shyly to the two of them in regret, at which point Olovia's phone rang, and she turned to leave and Jorah prepared to leave with her.
"Wait, since it's a deal, we should talk about the terms of both sides." Thomas didn't look at anyone and said it coldly.
※
In Herbert Castle, William summoned the elders to meet in the council chamber, and soon the four elders arrived in the council chamber, while Mossar was late, everyone waited patiently for his arrival, and everyone was very silent. It wasn't until Mosal hurried in to take his seat that William began to preside.
"Dear elders, I am convening this meeting, and I hope that the issues I have raised will be answered and brought out today, of course, ......." William poked his finger at the table, scanning the other four elders who were staring at him.
"Now that we have reached an agreement with the demon and passed the election of the council, it is an indisputable fact that this issue is passed, and I hope to make it clear today who is the main commander of this matter."
Everyone looked at each other after listening to William's statement, everyone knew William's intentions, he wanted to usurp power before this matter was fully formed, Lawrence first said: "There was an answer last time, that is, Ophelina is the leader of this matter, you won't forget it." ”
"No, no, no, Elder Lawrence, I think Lord Ophelina's energy is limited, and now the wolf clan has set its sights on the lord's daughter, Miss Olovia, and the lord's current energy is not able to make the right judgment at the right time, for this reason, I hope that someone or I want to share this matter with me personally." William made no secret of his intentions.
After hearing this, Lawrence and Quetia also thought that what William said was unreasonable, and nodded frequently, while Ophelina did not react, and Mosal stood up and looked at William excitedly and said: "You are a usurpation, a naked usurpation, I don't agree." ”
"Don't get excited, Elder Mosar, I don't mean to usurp power, I just said, anyone here can do it, I just want to end this matter sooner, I still have a lot of things to deal with." William said respectfully and humbly to Mossal.
This statement was supported by Lawrence and Kwaitia, "Mossal, don't get excited, there is nothing rude about what William said. Hearing Kwaitia say this, Mosal also realized his excitement and sat down stupidly.
"My second topic is that for everyone's safety, I hope everyone can get together until this matter is completely resolved, after all, if the werewolves attack one by one, it will not be good for us, and we are in the light, and the werewolves are in the dark."
After William finished speaking, although everyone didn't want to admit it or stay together anymore, this was also true.
"William, you have to know the current situation of this matter, the demon's intention is very obvious, what they want is the 'death rib', they want to use someone to divert our attention, better let the wolf clan rush in to find something, we should focus on finding someone now, that is, it is just self-destruction." Lawrence's words were recognized by everyone.
"Yes, Lord Lawrence, I don't deny the fact that this thing really exists?" William turned his head to look at Ophelina with a persecuting gaze, "Then it depends on the attitude of the lord, I heard rumors that this thing does exist, but none of us have seen it, and there is another rumor that this thing can only be obtained if you are in charge of the blood clan." Ophelina's expression changed slightly, and she began to be a little annoyed by William's tsk, "Presumptuous, are you accusing me of deliberately putting the safety of the family at risk as the heir of Herbert?" William. Minosta, I don't think you have the right or right to question me and the Herberts here for what they have done. Ophelina stood up and looked down at William.
"Ophelina......" Kwai Tia whispered to reassure her, interrupted by her raising her hand
William shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "Of course, Lord Lord, I dare to challenge the authority of the family, I just told you what I have heard, I don't mean to blame the lord, I am just very curious why the demon is so sure that the 'Death Rib' is here?" Although William said this, his tone did not mean to evade it in the slightest.
The rest of the people were thinking about this question, and everyone's thoughts were obviously unanimous that what William said was not unreasonable, who provided the information to the demon, and since the demon thought that this thing was in the family, what was the basis? If there is disagreement and stalemate on this issue, it is a great threat to the family.
"We are in a very serious position now, we are threatened by the demons and the wolf clan, and the wolf clan has also been coerced by the demon to become an enemy of our clan, since it is not feasible to unite the wolf clan, then we can only resist and resist the attack of the wolf clan, we have the hope of winning, so, we should drag the demon against the wolf clan." Lawrence said. "This matter is a three-way wrestling, any change on either side will affect the battle situation, the demon really wants to find that angel is not as good, we also let the person with the angel participate in breaking this deadlock." Kwai Tia came up with her own ideas.
Kwaitia thinks that it is feasible to bet on that 'person' at the moment, but there is no way to control the angels to cooperate with them, which is also a balance of rights and interests, and if you let the demons know if they will attack the blood clan in advance? The rest of the people did not respond to Kwaitia's proposal.
"You're all crazy, we cooperate with the 'angels', and the angels will not hesitate to kill us, I firmly disagree." William rebuked the rest.
Lawrence said to everyone: "Since this topic was proposed by William, then William asks you to recuse himself, and the rest of the council will deliberate, and more than half of the council, that is, at least 3 council members, will approve it, and it can be passed." Everyone couldn't help but look at William, he knew that he had wanted to make Olovia ugly, but he had suffered a dumb loss, and he turned away from the council chamber in anger.
