The supreme authority of the Bloodline is the loosely structured Bloodline Senate. In the vast majority of cases, the Senate is the place where the ancient blood families retire. They only care about big things, and the Bloods have almost no big things, so they almost don't care about anything.

Underneath the Senate, there is also a Council of Deacons in the Night, which has a practical function. Nominally, it was to carry out the decrees made by the senate, but in fact it was to mediate disputes between the families. After all, all blood clans are strictly related to each other. Any inconspicuous bloodline can involve countless family forces. Especially those of the upper blood who have a surname. It doesn't matter what his surname is, whether it's an old one or a new one. After all, the standard of the high-ranking blood clan is that they are not mixed with humans, so their ancestors can only be so few ancient blood clans.

Holding the letter, Jones slammed it on the table: "What does this mean? Let the deacon take care of my business? This is not a family dispute!

"Yes...... According to the law, it is. They do. Dora whispered, "And it seems that some of the members of the old brotherhood serve in the deacon's council." ”

"So he's using his connections to get the deacons on his side?" Jones gritted his teeth with hatred.

"I guess it'......"

"What bullshit laws! A bunch of adult blood clans make laws to deprive minor blood clans of their right to dispose of their property, it's not fair! Why!

Jones walked back and forth in the room. Dora could only stand aside and watch silently, helpless.

Outside the open door, Ophelia, the hydra who heard the voice, already had a snake head watching.

"I can't let them succeed! I especially can't let my father succeed!" Jones said angrily, "There must be a way to solve it, I can sever the father-son relationship with him? As long as the father-son relationship is severed, he can no longer be my guardian! What do you think of this solution?"

"I'm afraid...... Not really. Dora said hesitantly, "Only humans can sever the relationship between father and son, and the blood clan has never heard of severing the relationship between father and son." Bloodlines are not like humans. ”

"Then what the hell should I do? I can't give him Mega Serpent City! this is my territory!

"Little bat, what's going on?" Hydra Ophelia's head simply stuck into the room.

Jones was stunned for a moment, silent for a while, and then said, "Ma'am...... It's my father. ”

"Your father is here again?"

"Yes. ”

"It's okay, I'll help you get rid of him. ”

"No, this time it's different. Facing Hydra, Jones explained earnestly: "Last time he was alone, and this time he has involved the deacons as well. ”

"Will the deacon be powerful?" asked Hydra.

"I don't know what to say. Jones held his forehead and said helplessly: "There are many of them, and they are law enforcement agencies recognized by the Senate." If they come, we can't even do anything to them, otherwise, we'll only attract more. One of their targets is you, ma'am. I think you'd better get out of Snake City for a while. ”

"Someone is coming to take the territory, and you let a hydra leave? ”

"Ma'am, this time is really different, it will be very dangerous!"

"What about you? Will you leave? Why are you so adamant that you ask me to leave?"

For a moment, Jones didn't know what to say, so he could only stand still and close his eyes in frustration.

The room was silent, so quiet that only the sound of Jones's heavy breathing remained.

Dawn.

The sun had slowly risen in the east, and the first rays of sunlight through the clouds had reached the top of Giant Serpent City.

Jones hurriedly closed the simple animal skin curtains, turned to Dora and said, "Dora, you will go to Gray as soon as it gets dark." ”

"Huh?"

"Ask him to write a letter to the board of deacons stating that I am his adopted son and that he is my guardian. Be quick, and bring the letter back. ”

"Good...... Good!"

"I'll go to Adair and ask him to come and help me with his men. ”

"Will Master Adair be useful here?"

"I don't know. But it's better than nothing. If it were just me and the lady here, there would be no way to stop them. ”

"Will they come as soon as it gets night?"

"I don't think they're going to be delaying for long. This letter is an ultimatum, after all, according to the rules of the deacon, the action must be notified first. But I don't think my father will give me a long time. They'll be there tonight, it's just a matter of the first half of the night or the second half of the night. With that, Jones walked to the desk, took out some pieces of letter paper and bowed his head and wrote, "You show this letter to Gray, and it doesn't mention the problem between me and my father. I don't know how to explain it. I just told him I needed a letter as proof. And this letter, if you can't find Gray, look for Shelley. The identity of the Lich King's Lady should also be useful. And this letter, if you can't find either of them, look for Brutus. It's best to go straight to Salted Fish Harbor. After all, we don't know if Gray and Brutus are in Salted Fish Harbor, but at least Shelley and Richie are. If Richie's guardian angels and inducing demons were willing to help, it wouldn't be much of a problem. ”

"Good!" Dora quickly reached out and took the three letters.

Turning his face sideways, Jones said to Hydra, "Ma'am, maybe I need to ask Brutus for help in your name." I feel that in your name it will be more effective than mine. ”

Hydra nodded silently.

"Also, after the sun goes down, I will set off for Hilde to move the rescuers, so please be sure to hide. I'll have the dwarves hide in the mines, too. It's just a little bit of hiding, and as soon as I'm back, you can come out. As he spoke, Jones looked at Hydra.

The room was quiet.

Jones added in a whisper, "Ma'am, I don't want you to be hurt. ”

"Okay, little bat. I listen to you. Hydra nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I will protect your dwarven people for you while you are away." After all, I am the guardian of this city. ”

"Thank you, ma'am. ”

......

Is the situation bad?

The answer is, very bad.

If it was an ordinary deacon who would have written from him, Jones didn't have to worry about it at all. As long as you don't do it first, there is no reason for the other person to use violence against you. And given enough time, Jones always has a way to solve the problem.

However, this is not an ordinary letter from a deacon. Behind this is his father.

If it's Count Dracula...... He confiscated Jones' toys and destroyed Jones' collections. And no one could hold him accountable, not even Jones.

That's the scariest part.

As with countless previous encounters, Jones felt powerless as a son.

Father and son, the son naturally bowed his head. Even if Gray came in person...... Jones would not be foolish enough to believe that Gray would choose to use force against Count Dracula.

No one will help a son beat his father, and the deacons do find an excuse to help a father beat his son. That's the most unfair thing about this.

For a whole day, Jones couldn't give up.

He ordered all the people in the entire realm to stop the work at hand and start building the fortifications instead.

Yes, fortifications.

Move everything of value into the tunnels and quickly expand them so that the massive Hydra can hide inside. At the same time, the caves in key locations are sealed.

"If I don't come back, you must not come out. Don't be silent, and don't let them find you. If they find out, then you can find a way to delay the time, or resist a little. Anyway, you have to make it until I come back!

"Understood!" the silver hammer and keg nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, with me, I will definitely be able to hold on. Hydra whispered.

Dora watched silently, frowning.

"I'm not reconciled...... Finally, I finally saw a ray of light. Whoever he tries to stop me, I will use all my strength to resist. Even the use of force is not spared. Jones said firmly to Dora.

Yes, the war between the Father and the Son began.

Not every father and son will have a war, but if the father is stubborn enough and the son is determined enough, then the war will be fierce.

......

When the last rays of sunlight disappeared from the horizon, Jones and Dora took off almost simultaneously, one facing east and one facing west.

With all his strength, Jones crossed the distance between Serpent City and Heard as fast as he could, and landed directly on Adair's balcony.

He never did.

The guards of Adair's house rushed towards him at one point, and after seeing that it was Jones, they were all stunned.

"Adar, I've got you something to ask for help!" Jones pushed open the door to Adair's balcony and rushed in.

Sitting on the couch reading the newspaper while eating the bloody cake, Adel "poofed" and sprayed the crumbs all over the table.

"Ahem, ahem...... Phew, what are you doing, Jones, what's going on?"

"I need your help. ”

"How can I help the Fa?"

"Bring all your men you can muster and come with me!"

"All?" Adele quickly dropped the newspaper and bread in his hand and stood up, spreading his two hands.

The two maids who were guarding next to him hurriedly helped him get his cloak and boots.

"Yes. Jones nodded heavily, gasping heavily.

Suspecting that the movements of the two maids were too slow, Adair directly snatched the boots over, and asked while putting them on, "Do you want to fight?"

"Not necessarily to fight, but probably to fight. ”

"Where?"

"Snake City!

"Butler!" Adele roared violently, "Bring all the people who can be moved, and ask for the Bloods!

The butler hurriedly pushed the door in from outside the door, and answered, "Okay, young master!" and immediately closed the door and went out.

Adele, who was already wearing his boots, quickly walked up to the mirror and asked as he hurriedly tied his bow tie, "Who are you going to fight with?"

"Board of Deacons. ”

"Okay, the deacons are just that. We'll be able to ...... Wait, you said the deacons would?" Adele quickly turned around in fright, his hands in the bow tie froze, his eyes widened, and his face was stunned.

"Yes, the Board of Deacons. Jones gasped heavily, reaching out to wipe his sweat.

"For ...... Why would you get into trouble with the deacons?"

"It was my father who called and wanted to confiscate my territory. ”

"Is this too much? Your father is crazy?"

"I thought he was crazy, too. I'm not going to let him get his way. I don't have any friends, so I can only look for you. Will you help me?"

Adair panicked a little, his eyes flickering wildly. Loosening the bow tie that had not yet been tied, he gestured with both hands and said, "You...... You made me think about it. I really have to think about it. ”

Adair held his forehead, looked at the coffee table beside him, and began to wipe his sweat, and licked his lips vigorously. The frown was furrowed.

"If I let my father know that I was going to do something to the deacon, he would kill me. The deacons will be senators, which is crazy. ”

"Okay, I see. It's my own business, and I'll figure it out on my own. As he spoke, Jones stepped back and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Adair hurriedly shouted out, stopping Jones, "I'll go!"

Jones looked back at Adair.

"You make me think. The other party is a council of deacons, you really have to make me think about it. Adair blinked and said nervously, "I'll have to bring more people, and the usual guards will definitely not be enough." Gotta bring a few more people. Anyway, as long as you do it, you can't clean it up, at least you can't lose, right? ”

Jones walked quickly towards Adair and hugged him hard, "Thank you!

Adair stretched out his hands and was hugged by Jones, both a little confused.

Usually he is enthusiastic about Jones, but this time it is Jones who hugs him in turn.

"I promise you, even if something happens, your father won't be able to kill you. The Lich King's adopted son can't do anything else, but it's certainly okay to protect someone. If something happens to you, no matter who does it, I have a way to keep the entire Silver Moon Knights alive with him. ”

"The best...... Or don't. Adair hesitated and said, "Calm down." If we can, we'd better solve it properly. Don't get to the point where you don't die. ”

"I know, don't worry. Jones let go of his hands and took a step back: "How long will it take you to gather men?"

"Half an hour is enough, maybe forty-five minutes. In short, it can't be more than an hour. ”

"Okay, then you hurry up. I'll go back and wait for your help. I'm afraid they've arrived. I'm not there, afraid they'll do it directly to the dwarves and hydra. I can delay a little bit. ”

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. ”

"Good. ”

As he spoke, Jones turned and walked briskly to the balcony, leaping to his feet, turning into a bat and flapping his wings and flying back desperately.

"it, hit the deacon...... This is probably the spirit of the Lich King's adopted son. Looking at the back of Jones leaving, Adair smiled helplessly and wiped his sweat violently: "I have to find some more people to help, and it's better to find someone from unknown origin." Or Blood Slaves. What's ...... It's too far away, otherwise I'll take two monsters over! If something happens, how good would it be to plant it and hand it over to the monster directly?"
