Adair lowered her voice and asked, "Are you kidding? Ten million gold coins?"

"Can't you take it out?" Jones asked in a whisper.

"No, you can take it. However, cash is not possible. No one has 10 million gold coins in their house. You want me to sell something? It's a shame. ”

"But you want to be my ally, don't you? My ally should be able to solve this little problem. The concept of the Lich King may be much bigger than you think. If you can't come up with 10 million gold coins at once, then you should find a way to make the werewolf win. That's the minimum standard when I'm an ally. ”

Adair was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jones with slightly wide eyes: "You want her not to die?"

Jones didn't answer, just stared at Adair quietly.

"She's just a slave, and she's a werewolf. I had planned to arrange her winning streak, and the final reward would be your Holy Illumination. Werewolves are also creatures of darkness, and they fear the Light. Putting a werewolf to death in your light will be shocking and helpful to your prestige. ”

"What did she do wrong?"

"What?"

"I ask you what she did wrong? If I'm not mistaken, her only mistake was to be caught and sold as slaves. This is not a mistake. Do you know Gray...... I mean, my adoptive father, how did he become the Lich King? What do you think of the Light as you want me to execute an innocent person? I'm not 100% of the Light, but I'll think you're insulting me. ”

Adair was silent, looking sideways at the werewolf in the middle of the field, with his back to Jones.

The werewolf, who still knew nothing, was standing in the middle and looking at him, waiting for the order to start the game.

Dora's gaze kept going back and forth on Jones and Adair, and the other members of the Brotherhood were also watching the two of them, and the entire arena was silent.

After a while, Adair whispered, "I think we have some misunderstanding about each other. ”

"I have no misunderstanding of you, I am a blood clan myself, and I will not have any misunderstanding about the blood clan. But you might really have some misconceptions about me. Jones replied.

Pursing her lips, Adair sighed and said softly, "Okay, I see." When I inquired about you before, I also learned a little about faith. To be honest, I don't really believe that a Bloodline would have a Light Faith, I thought it was just...... It's just a set of rhetoric. Now it seems that I did misunderstand. In any case, believe me that I really want you as an ally, and since you're here, I think you'll need me too. Although we may still need to run in with each other. Your status is very special, and if I do something that makes you feel unsatisfied, I hope you can speak up and avoid a bigger misunderstanding. Is that okay?"

Jones hesitated and nodded.

Turning his face sideways, Adair glanced back and forth at his other six Brotherhood members, and said in a loud voice, "That's all for today." Sorry brothers, our Jones brothers liked this werewolf very much, and I don't know why he liked it, but anyway he did. So I'm going to give her to our Jones brothers. If you give a gift, you can't participate in the competition anymore, what if it goes bad?"

As he spoke, Adair glanced at Jones with a grin, and then said to the other members of the Brotherhood, "You just pressed the gold coins, and you should have won them all." I will give it all. Now, please go upstairs and have a good drink. ”

The members of the Brotherhood stood up. Some people are laughing, some people have an indifferent attitude, and some people are a little unhappy. Anyway, though, the matter was settled.

Adair waved his hand, and the cage was pulled up again. Dozens of zombie soldiers had already walked in, ready to push away the ogres they had just arrived.

The werewolves were stunned, and kept asking what in brute language.

Meanwhile, Adair had already left the arena with the members of the Brotherhood, and Jones and Dora had left with them.

Before leaving, Jones took one last look at the werewolf standing in the middle of the arena, bewildered.

The "special event" prepared by Adair ended early, and the activities of the Brotherhood had to return to normal. Wine tasting, tea and chatting. It's just that, because of Jones's presence, the fraternity today is a little different. Everyone else was assigned to the living room, and Jones was taken out onto the balcony by Adair.

The night breeze blew gently.

The balcony of each Bloodline Castle has a nice view, however, the view from the Balcony of Adel is different from that of most Bloodline Castles.

Most of the balconies of the Blood Clan Castle can only see the natural scenery. And from Adair's balcony, you can also see the noisy "Hilde". For the Bloodline, night is the real time of day. At this moment, Heard is at its most lively, and it can be described as brightly lit. The streets are also full of "people". Such a picture forms a strong contrast with the darkness and silence around it, but it has a unique flavor.

Jones was ushered into a white chair, while Adair sat across from the low table, and the human servants quickly brought wine, tea, and pastries.

Adair glanced up at Dora, who was standing beside Jones, "Mind letting me stay with your master in private for a while?"

Not knowing how to answer, Dora glanced at Adair and then at Jones.

"You can leave for a moment. Jones picked up a plate of pastries and handed it to Dora: "Go inside and eat some pastries and take a break." ”

"Yes, Master Jones. With that, Dora turned away with a plate of pastries.

Only Jones and Adair were left on the balcony.

Looking at Dora's departing back, Adair said meaningfully, "You are very good to this servant." ”

"She grew up with me. Jones replied casually.

"Oh, yes? I also have a servant with whom I grew up, but he died a few years ago. ”

"Dead?"

"Yes. Forget it, let's not talk about this topic. Rubbing his temples, Adair continued, "I apologize to you for today's events. I didn't mean to. ”

"I know, I don't blame you. As he spoke, Jones took a sip from his teacup.

"Okay. Adair smiled awkwardly, her eyes flickering.

For some reason, Jones always felt that Adair's gaze was fluttering all the time. All the time, his eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

......

"I felt like I couldn't fit in, I couldn't do it at all. I don't even feel like I'm a Bloodline anymore. If I had seen that scene before, I would have been excited. So much blood...... But now, I'm a little uncomfortable, and just now I'm even a little angry. It's weird, isn't it?" As he returned, Jones was flying and nagging to Dora, "I'm actually angry...... What can I do? The Blood Clan has been domesticating slaves for tens of thousands of years, and I want to change that? I find that I can't get along with them now, and I can't like what they like. ”

"But Master Jones didn't fit in with them before......"

"Yes? I at least knew how to flatter them and what to say. But I don't want to say anything right now. I only feel unusually tired and unwell. ”

"But you said it anyway. ”

"I don't even know what I'm talking about. He was actually looking for an ally, and I used that as a reason to save the werewolf. However, I could not be his ally at all. The Lich King's adopted son...... Do you think I'm really the Lich King's adopted son?"

"Isn't it?"

Jones glanced back at Dora and said, "Yes, but not the adopted son he imagined." Gray wasn't the Lich King they thought he was, and I couldn't do what he wanted me to do. It's better to go back early, I really shouldn't be here. I'm afraid that if I stay any longer, something will happen. ”

Dora flapped her wings and followed Jones closely, watching cautiously.

On the way back, Jones didn't go back to take out the things that were hidden in the cave, and Dora didn't mention them, and the two went straight back to the castle.

......

"What happened to the Brotherhood? Count Dracula asked.

"It's good, everybody is nice to me, Adair is very welcoming. Jones replied casually.

"Do they like the gift you have prepared for them?" asked Mrs. Dracula.

"Like. Jones replied casually.

"If you like it, do you have an agreement to see you again?"

"Every Friday. They hold fraternity meetings every Friday. ”

"My son, you are so pleasing to your mother. ”

Mrs. Dracula happily hugged Jones and touched her forehead.

"I'm tired and want to rest. ”

"Go ahead and get some rest. My baby. ”

Before Jones could leave the living room, the castle doorbell rang. Soon, the butler of the Jones family walked in: "Madam, sir, there is someone from the Sambo family outside the door who said to bring a gift. ”

"Gift?" Jones was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went downstairs to the gate.

Sure enough, an iron cage was placed in front of him.

In the cage was the werewolf woman. The clothes had been changed, and they were still torn. The shackles were put back on.

By the light of the torches in the doorway, Jones could clearly see the runes on the shackles. These are magically blessed shackles.

At this moment, the werewolf was looking up slightly, staring at Jones with a hostile gaze.

There are also four Bloodlines guarding next to the cage.

"Ahem, hello, Master Jones. One of the Blood Clan servants coughed dryly twice and said, "We're here for you." You forgot to bring it when you left. ”

The Earl and the Countess, who arrived later, were stunned for a moment.

"Oh, is it?" Jones whispered, "open the cage and let her out." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not good. The Blood Clan servant said embarrassedly, "Although her strength is not very strong, it is not weak either. If you let it out, it can be dangerous. ”

"Alright then, you guys go back first, and I'll handle it myself. ”

"Okay. Master Jones, let's go first. With that, the Bloodline servant at the head handed Jones a bunch of keys.

This is the key to the cage and the shackles on the werewolf.

The four Bloodline servants saluted respectfully to Jones.

"Thank you, young master, for Jones. The Countess hurriedly added.

"Yes, ma'am. The four Blood Servants saluted respectfully to the Countess again.

Jones looked at the werewolf in the cage with some embarrassment, and sighed helplessly.

It wasn't until the four Blood Clan servants had left that the Count asked suspiciously, "Why did he give you a werewolf?"

"I asked him for it. Jones replied reluctantly.

"The fact that he gave you a werewolf at the first party shows that he values your relationship. ”

"But what should I do?"

"Wherever you go? We don't lack a place. There is no shortage of food either. The Count said.

Yes, there is no shortage of places at the Jones house, many of them are idle. While the Bloodlines don't eat human food, the Zombie Guards do. Generally, I just find a time to go out and come back from hunting two deer in the mountains and forests. So, the Jones family is not short of food. But now Jones is thinking about ...... How did you let her go.

......

"Can you understand me?"

"Ah——!" Jones responded with a scream.

"Looks like you don't understand...... You don't think it's because of me that you've lost your chance to be free, do you? Listen, he didn't intend to give you freedom. Keep fighting, and you'll just die. ”

"Ah——!h

"I want to let you out, I don't need a werewolf slave. You can go anywhere you want, you're free. But you have to make sure that you don't attack me or anyone else when you come out. ”

"Ah——!" The werewolf woman has already begun to hit the cage, and it makes a "clang" sound. The sound filled the basement.

Communication failed, and Jones helplessly held his forehead, completely unsure of what to do.

"Looks like I'll have to go to Connell, he's the only one who knows brute. But I'm not sure if he'll help me. He's not Adair, after all. ”

As Jones spoke, the werewolf was still growling and glaring at Jones.

"Maybe Master Jones can find Young Master Adair first, and let Young Master Adel go to Young Master Connell. Dora said.

Jones hesitated, but finally shook his head: "I don't want to owe favors to anyone anymore, let's settle it ourselves." ”

As he spoke, Jones glanced down at the keys in his hand, thought for a moment, walked over to the cage, and inserted one of the keys into the keyhole.

"Master Jones!" Dora startled.

"It's okay, as long as the shackles on her body are not opened, she is not a threat. Jones twisted the key lightly and opened the cage: "Come out." ”

The hostility in the werewolf's eyes seemed to waver, and she leaned against the bars and stared at Jones in a daze.

"Come out, it's okay. I'll ask Dora to change your clothes and freshen up. However, it can't untie you yet. I'll have to wait until I'm completely sure you're not in danger. Although he knew that the werewolf couldn't understand his words at all, Jones still said to himself.

Hesitating, the werewolf tentatively stretched out a leg and stepped on the ground outside the cage.
