Chapter 287: The Outliers Who Keep Up with the Times

The Hethannas are one of the largest families in the city, and although it is a fledgling vampire group, it has risen to prominence thanks to the wise leadership and diplomacy of its patriarch (as Hethanna calls herself) and is now second only to the Lucas and Behemoths. They occupy a large area of land on the east side of the shelter, where they have built their stronghold, and only those with their approval can approach the neighborhood.

Anyway, these are all said by the nervous blood girl herself, and she has a stern face, so it should be true.

Hao Ren and his entourage, led by Heatherian, walked into the splendid mansion and were surprised to find that the room was brilliantly lit - facing a long hall with a rich and delicate carpet, bright lights everywhere, and a dozen large long tables neatly arranged on both sides of the hall. There were already hundreds of men and women waiting in the hall, they were dressed in all kinds of costumes specially prepared for the banquet, the men were handsome and handsome, and the women were charming and moving, as if they had arrived at the Oscars at a glance, and even Lily, who could not be quiet for a moment, was suddenly shocked by this scene, and did not move for a long time with her mouth open.

The people in the hall were clearly waiting for Heathera and the other distinguished guests, who turned neatly to salute the door as soon as the door opened, and then bowed to Heatherian with their right hands on their hearts. Hao Ren couldn't help but poke Vivian in the back when he saw this scene: "Your trumpet is much stronger than your bastard......"

Vivien was confused: "Trumpet? ”

Hao Ren: "Heather Anna." ”

An unnatural look crossed Vivien's face: "She...... It's going to be a toss. But what she tossed here was quite unexpected, and she was a little girl who didn't know anything when I first sent her over to Hesperius to help take care of her, and every time I came over, she was startled by the movement of her tossing. ”

By this time, Heatherena had already run along the Great Hall to the end in high spirits. Standing in front of the Y-shaped staircase that stretched out like wings on both sides across the hall, he stretched out his hands and shouted, "Listen! The true mistress of the family, Mistress Vivien, is here! You can eat and drink as much as you like today! Anything but fighting! Oh! ”

Hao Ren slapped his head on the door: "It's really blind to the ...... of this arrangement at the scene"

The people gathered in the hall were all high-ranking vampires from the Heatherenne family, but Hao Ren didn't know how they were divided into ranks, so he didn't delve into this. There are more than 100 "people" in the hall. And the elaborate arrangement here, all of which Hethanna had begun to prepare after hearing about Vivien's arrival. She obviously knows her "mother" character very well, and knows that as long as the other party comes, even if she hides herself, she will come out to meet in the end. Hao Ren didn't know how long the men and women here had been waiting, anyway, at this time, Heatherana's call to open the meal directly detonated the atmosphere of the scene, and saw that the group of vampires wearing banquet costumes rushed to the dining table on the spot as if they had thrown the reins, if the atmosphere in this hall was somewhat similar to the Palace of Versailles a second ago, then now this battle is similar to the Versailles canteen. Hao Ren stood stunned and didn't react: he thought that he had finally seen a group of vampires who were as gentle and strict as the legend, but he didn't expect that the pile of looks before the gang had dinner was completely used to take promotional photos......

"Don't expect much education from Heatherian's men," Vivien was a little distressed when she saw this scene, she was poor, but she was usually more or less polite. She has a quiet temperament with her, but she can't do anything about the Hethanna who fell from her body, "Maybe it has something to do with my blood...... Although Hethanna can transform into descendants or servants like normal bloodlines, those who have been transformed by her will have some personality problems, and it seems that they are influenced by her......"

Hao Ren sighed, looking at the scene of demons dancing in the hall, and knew in his heart: Look, this is the refined tease that Hethanna has carefully accumulated for more than a thousand years......

At this time, Hethanna ran back from the other end of the hall in a huff, and took Vivien's hand and ran to the largest table: "Hurry up, hurry up, how about trying the skill of my chef...... Eh, I'm starving. I didn't eat much at noon today, and I went to Lucas's house to pull the skin for a long time, and they didn't even know how to cook a normal meal there, and drank a stomach full of wine mixed with blood type B. ”

Lily also dragged Hao Ren and ran forward: this girl doesn't have such complicated thoughts. Now the only thought in her mind is to start eating......

After Hao Ren was dragged to the table, of course, he couldn't help but look at the food in front of him, he was mentally prepared to face a table of hunting meals after knowing that this was a blood clan gathering, but when he came to see him, he was stunned: "You can also eat ordinary meals?" ”

"Half of it. Ordinary meals can be eaten, but they are not very filling. It's still up to you to keep your strength alive," Hethanna said, glancing at Vivien with admiration. "I'm so envious of Lord Vivian, she can live entirely on human food, but we still have to stock up on the blood bank, and it's getting harder and harder to find food these days!"

As soon as Hao Ren heard this, he knew that the bloodline that had been passed down from Vivien's side was working, but it was obvious that Vivian's blood had faded a lot of magic after being diluted and diluted by the second-tier dealer of Hathanna, and although the vampires of the Hethanna family could survive on ordinary food, only blood could keep them alive. He observed the movement in the hall with a complex and subtle mind, and saw that the vampires at the other tables were eating enthusiastically, and basically everyone was as happy as Hethiana, and the elegance of the orthodox blood was lost in them. And on those long dining tables, in addition to normal food, you can see a lot of glasses with red liquid - this is a normal ...... Well, it must be a little awkward for ordinary people whose three views are basically normal. Hao Ren finally couldn't hold back, and pointed to the cup in front of Hethiana: "It's blood in this, right?" ”

"yes, you want to try? For the sake of Lord Vivien's face, I can give you some, although I don't think you are happy, but you are at least a guest now," Hethanna raised her glass and shook it, "I heard that some human wizards also drink blood to pretend to be big-tailed wolves. ”

Lily slapped the table: "The tail is an honor!" You don't look down on the tail! ”

"It's none of your business," Hao Ren pushed Lily back with his hand, and then looked at Heathera awkwardly, "I've heard that vampires keep humans in captivity, call them blood slaves, and collect blood every day, just like raising cows - raising them without killing, but they don't have much freedom. Your blood is ......"

"That's what Mistress Vivien told you," Hethanane glanced at Haoren, "I don't know how good you are, Mistress Vivien will get tired of being with you...... Don't worry, times have long changed, I don't know how many old antiques will keep blood slaves in captivity, but anyway, my side has used more advanced and civilized methods, and the source of our blood is full of humanitarian brilliance, and it is obtained under the premise of fairness, justice and openness......"

Nangong May frowned: "You just say where you came from." ”

Heatherian turned her face away: "Get it from the hospital blood bank...... There is also a part of it that is taken by signing a contract with someone. In these years, there is no way to 'hunt' like back then, and it is easy to die by brutal methods such as violently capturing blood slaves. ”

Hao Ren: "...... Well, the solution of the blood bank is relatively new but acceptable, but what is the matter with signing the contract? ”

Hethanna laughed dryly: "You must know that although humans and aliens in this world are enemies in general, in fact, there will be some people in any race who are more non-mainstream in their thinking...... For example, heretics, cults, Satanists, vampire societies, or whateverβ€”got it? These are the sources of the various living materials of the aliens living in this shelter. We even have some industries out there, such as corporations and mines, where humans are responsible for running them, and behind these seemingly normal companies may be a blood clan or even a demon boss. Otherwise, do you think that such a big shelter has relied on eating old money to get to where it is today? ”

Hao Ren imagined this scene: a well-looking and legally operated listed company doing serious business in broad daylight that no one would suspect in broad daylight, but at night the doors of the company building would be closed, and the company's boss, who frequently haunts local television stations on weekdays, led a group of employees to set up an altar in the office and draw a magic circle, chanting mantras to worship vampires and demons while lining up to draw blood, and then send the company's financial statements and bags of blood to the ground...... It's so touching to think about.

If that's what to say...... How many of the companies that die every year are the hands of witchers?

It seems that after so many years of evolution, the war between the witchers and the aliens is no longer limited to frontal swords and guns, they have each infiltrated each other with the human society of this world, and this war has been going on for thousands of years, and no one can say what form it will eventually develop.

And at this moment, the only thing Hao Ren can sigh is one sentence:

These outliers are also keeping pace with the times. (To be continued......)
