Chapter 221: Punishment
In the manor where the Korvinus Bloodline was located, Crane hurried to the Elder's dormant hall with an unkind face.
Not long ago, a small incident happened, but it caused Klein to be on guard.
The guard who guarded the Elder's dormant place was transferred by Serena under Karn's name, only to learn that Karn had never been looking for him.
After returning to his post, the guard did not notice anything out of the ordinary, so he did not report the matter to Klein.
It wasn't until some time later that Brian learned about it by chance, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, and hurried here, wanting to know where his uneasiness came from.
In the elder's dormant hall, there was still eternal silence, at least he didn't see anything unusual.
Just as Klein was about to leave, in the room at the end of the hall, there was a sudden voice, and Crane frowned and walked there, "Who is there!" ”
"What's so noisy!"
A majestic voice suddenly came from that room, and this voice made Crane instantly fall into an ice cellar. Even after a hundred years of interval, Klein still won't forget who the owner of this voice is!
But isn't he supposed to be asleep!?
In the shadows, a tall figure with blue-gray skin slowly stepped out of the shadows, as if his movements were still a little uncoordinated because he had been asleep for too long.
On his body, a large number of infusion tubes were connected, and blood traveled along the infusion tubes into Victor's body.
It's just that Victor has been dormant for so long that the large amount of blood transfused still hasn't brought him back to his normal appearance.
Behind Victor was a tall and cold voice, the perfect face that Crane longed for, but seeing Serena in such a place at this time, Crane's mood was not very good.
Without saying a word, Serena followed behind Victor, carrying a hanger-like metal tool with a large number of blood bags hanging from it, connected to Victor's body by an infusion tube. At this point, some of these blood bags have been absorbed.
A feeling that the situation was suddenly out of control lingered in Klein's heart, for all that, he had made too many preparations, put too much effort into it, and even cooperated with those werewolves, just to obtain more transcendent rights, instead of the current seemingly high-minded, but the elder could deprive him of everything with just one word!
However, the absolute authority that Victor has long established in Crane's heart is really too strong, and when Victor is sleeping, he can do whatever he wants, but that is all based on the premise that Victor is sleeping.
Victor's early awakening was far beyond his plan, and he knew best what kind of terrible wrist and strength this majestic old man had after following Victor for too many years, and this fear from his heart made Klein subconsciously lower his proud head.
Humbly and respectfully kneeling on one knee on the cold ground, Crane bowed his head and said respectfully, "My master." ”
Victor was already accustomed to the posture of the other bloods, and without even looking at Klein below, he slowly walked to a stone chair and sat down.
Serena departed from behind Victor and came to Klein's side below, kneeling on one knee with the same respect, "My master." ”
Victor waved his hand and motioned for them to stand up, his gaze lingering on Crane for a moment before finally landing on Serena, "Serena, my child. ”
"There's a lot to talk about between us, but not now," Victor said coldly, then looked at Klein and said, "Serena has shown me a lot of trouble, this place is getting weaker and more depraved, maybe I should leave someone else to take care of my affairs!" ”
Victor suddenly stopped his words and gasped violently, the chaotic memories in Serena's blood made Victor's brain passively put on tremendous pressure.
"You need rest now, my master." Klein hurriedly said with concern.
With a cold snort, Victor glared at Serena angrily and said, "I've rested enough!" ”
"Crane, all you have to do now is summon Marcus!"
Crane looked at the place where Marcus was sleeping not far away, and said carefully, "But he's still sleeping, master." ”
Victor was suddenly stunned and looked at Klein suspiciously.
Under the pressure from Victor, Crane didn't dare to look at Victor, and bowed his head and said, "Emilia and the council members will arrive soon to wake up Marcus." ”
"It's not you, my master, you've woken up a century early."
Victor almost thought he had misheard, that this had never happened, but, no matter how ridiculous, it had become a fact. He could clearly realize that Crane was not deceiving himself!
Anger made Victor's body tremble slightly, and the silence in the entire hall frightened Crane, and after a while, he finally heard Victor's voice again, "Crane, you go down first, I need to be alone with Serena!" ”
As Crane left the hall, Victor's anger faded away, and his face returned to calm.
"Come here, my boy."
Serena approached Victor, bowed her head slightly, and said sincerely, "Without you I would be lost, my master." ”
"Klein kept pestering me."
Not at all like he was in a state of rage just now, Victor couldn't help but laugh as if he had heard a joke, and said to Serena in a slow voice: "This is the oldest story in the book, and he longs for what he can't have." ”
After that, Victor's voice turned cold, "Now tell me why you woke me up, I hope you can give me a suitable reason!" ”
Serena said, "Not long ago, I found out about the werewolves, and I suspect that they are planning some kind of conspiracy against the Bloodline, and I think the werewolf leader Lucien is still alive!" ”
Victor frowned, "Why do you think Lucian is still alive?" ”
Serena immediately replied, "I gave you all the evidence you needed. ”
"Broken thoughts and images, nothing else! That's exactly why you summoned the elders to do it, you don't have the necessary skills, the memories you show me are all messed up, and you don't have a sense of time at all! ”
"But I did meet Lucian, please trust me!" Serena said hurriedly.
But Victor was not in the slightest moved by Serena's justification, got up and looked at her, and said, "Conventions have never been broken, not once, not in fourteen centuries!" ”
"One awake, two asleep, that's it! It's Marcus' time, not mine! ”
"But I have no other choice, everyone is in danger, that Michael is probably the key, but he was taken away." Serena looked at Victor, her eyes showing obvious unwillingness and grievance, "Please, please let me investigate it." ”
"I'll let Klein gather evidence, if any." Victor said coldly.
"Why did you believe in Klein and avoid believing me!?" Victor's cold answer made Serena even more painful.
"That's because you're not awake enough now! I love you as much as I love my own daughter, but you've left me with no choice now. There are already legitimate reasons for these rules, and they are the only reason we have lived so long. ”
"You won't get even a little mercy! When Emilia arrives, the Council of Elders will meet to decide your fate! ”
"You have broken this convention, you have broken this covenant! You deserve to be punished! ”
"Crane!"
Hearing Victor's call, Crane hurried to the main hall, "My master. ”
Victor closed his eyes lightly and whispered, "Take Serena down, I don't want Emilia to go anywhere until she arrives." ”
