On the evening of the second day after the hearing, a carriage arrived at the Sambo family's castle, where Jones lived.

It was a carriage drawn by bones, not even a coachman. The large carriage was exaggerated, tattered, and looked old. Half of the planks in the back of the car had fallen off, and only one nail was still fully pierced, and it swayed as if it were going to fall apart at any moment.

That doesn't stop it from running faster than most unicorn wagons, though.

The BloodClan also understands necromancy, especially the BloodClan Elders, though they are nowhere near as skilled as the Lich.

In front of the castle, the four bone horses jumped up in unison and let out an earth-shattering neigh.

"The elders invite Jones Dedracula, the lord of Giant Snake City, to go to the Blood Citadel to narrate!"

This was heard by everyone in the castle, even the people in the surrounding castles.

"So, have the elders officially recognized you as a member of the Bloodline?" Adair sighed softly, "They added your last name to your name, and it's Dracula. ”

"That's a good thing. Walking up to the Bone Horse, Jones asked bluntly, "Can I bring a guard?"

"Yes. The bones with red eyes twitched, and replied in a hoarse voice, "The elders assure you that this is a peaceful and beneficial meeting for future decisions. At the same time, they understand your concerns about safety. You can bring a guard that you think is safe enough. ”

"Okay, thanks. The corners of Jones' mouth rose slightly.

......

Carrying Jones and the four Lichs, the carriage galloped along the Ring Hill Avenue.

Erin and William sat on either side of Jones, while Barbuti and Akua sat across from Jones.

Along the way, light poured in from the car window swept across Jones's face. All the carriages that staggered with them took the initiative to stop, and the owners of the carriages who sat on them also took off their hats to salute them.

The layout of the castle on Kotei Hill is that the higher the hill top, the higher the status of the castle's owner. In other words, the carriage that came to pick up Jones had to pass through the doorsteps of all the blood families who were higher in status than Prince Louis.

The seven princes of the Sambo family stood on the balcony and watched quietly, as did Tess and Isidore, as did Prince Harez.

The entire High Court, except for the elders, the most powerful blood clans witnessed this scene with their own eyes. That feeling can be described as a mixed taste.

Of course, it may not actually be complicated. It's a feeling of helplessness in general. It's like the phrase that has appeared in countless times: "The gears of history begin to turn slowly, affecting the trajectory of everyone's destiny, but no one can stop it." ”

At this moment, Jones is a well-deserved son of the times, he inherited Gray's "legacy" and also inherited Gray's "legacy", standing in the center of the vortex, holding tightly the power that is extremely inconsistent with his age.

What else could these onlookers do? What could they pride themselves on in front of Jones was so insignificant.

"We even thought about forcing him to make peace with us, and wanted him to become the son-in-law of our Gangero family so that we could survive this crisis. Tess had to sigh, "Even if he agreed, would we really have the power to influence the situation at hand? ”

Is it stupid? Not really.

Jones's rise came so fast that everyone was overwhelmed, and in the past 10,000 years, there was hardly anything to refer to...... No, not almost, but not at all, never. In such a situation, it is understandable to make a wrong judgment.

It's just a pity that in this world, understanding can't undo anything. If you miss an opportunity, you miss it, and if you make a mistake, you make it, and you can't get it back.

Under the watchful eyes of all the blood clans, the carriage rushed along the road around the mountain into the cloud area between the top of the mountain and the mountainside, and continued to gallop in a vast sea of white clouds.

"May I ask which elder I want to talk to?" Jones asked in a loud voice.

"Almost all the elders will be present. The bone horse responded.

"But there's always an elder of the highest rank, isn't there? Can you tell me who it will be? at least let me know his last name. ”

"His Highness Elder Basaromu. ”

Grand Elder......

The Great Elder has come out, so this is the final judgment. In any case, it is a good thing that at least it means that the Senate has decided to talk to itself seriously. Isn't it?

The corners of Jones's mouth rose slightly.

......

The Blood Castle above the top of the clouds was still cold and empty.

A faint, white mist drifted through the air.

The carriage came to a stop in front of the main entrance of the Blood Keep, and the door opened automatically.

Jones got out of the car with the four lichs, silently straightened his clothes, and then stepped onto the steps.

......

"Young master, the master asked me to bring you a message. He wants you to ...... In any case, stand in the shoes of the Sambo family. Several princes have promised you that if you survive this turmoil, they will give you the title of prince and the corresponding wealth. You will become the eighth prince of the Sambo family. The butler whispered from behind Adair.

Belle, who was standing next to Adair, widened her eyes slightly, and looked at her incredulously.

"Is it a prince who is still a minor? This is something that the blood clan has never had before, and it is quite attractive. Adair smiled helplessly: "Tell him that as long as I haven't given up the surname Sambo, I will stand in the position of the Sambo family to help speak." However, I also had to take care of my brother's position. All the things I asked to talk about, all the promises, had to be something I could decide on my own. For example, an investment in Giant Snake City. They can continue to have the right to the benefits, but they must leave the decision to me. That's it. ”

"Okay, young master. The butler bowed silently and turned to leave.

"Haven't you asked someone at home to bring you a message?" asked Belle beside her.

"Not yet, my father didn't have a keen sense of smell. But some people with a keen sense of smell have already arrived. With that, Belle looked in the direction of the castle gate.

Outside the railing, the Blood Lord, who had hurriedly taken Belle's hand before the hearing to buy a bank bill for a dinner seat, was desperately waving Belle's hand outside, waving the bill to leave.

Probably knowing that it was impossible for him to get another seat at the original price, he hesitated, added another one, and smiled awkwardly with a grimace.

"Why don't you get the bill back? ”

"No, that's too little. Belle shook her head, looked at Adair and said, "I figured it out, I want to be the lady of the city lord of Giant Snake City." ”

"Are you kidding?" Adele laughed, "It can't be. ”

"No, I'm not kidding. Belle looked up and replied with a smile, "And, it's really possible." ”

......

The stone door slammed open.

This time, what appeared in front of Jones was no longer the empty and dark Blood Citadel Hall.

The whole hall was quiet, but it was brightly lit, and it was already full of elders. It's as if this is what the Blood Castle Hall should be.

Yes, even the elders were in attendance at this conversation. The face of each elder was exposed to the firelight, no longer the same as before, bright or dark, like a shadow.

Sitting on the podium were three elders.

The elder in the middle had a thin face, a tall figure, a pair of eagle-like eyes, a tall nose, and a cold face.

The elder sitting on the left looked very young, of medium build, with a handsome face that was white enough to make most women scream.

The elder on the right is burly, strong, and bearded, and even though he is wearing a black robe, he can still see the outline of his muscles through the robe. The arms were almost as big as Jones's entire body.

"Welcome, Jones Deracula. Standing beside them, the elder, who was also dressed as an elder but had the posture of a waiter, said in a loud voice, "Let me introduce you to you." ”

Stretching out a hand, the elder looked at the elder on the far right: "This is Elder Adrian, he is the ancestor of the Sambo family, the Gangero family, the Clermont family, the Fournier family, the Regina family, and the Frings family. ”

Looking at the elder sitting in the middle, he introduced softly, "This is Elder Basaromu, the Great Elder of our Blood Clan, and the first Blood Clan on the Celtic Continent. He was the Nicklaus family, the Cappadocia family, the Ludwig family...... Or to put it more simply, he is the ancestor of all the bloods. It's your great-great-great-grandfather. ”

Looking at the elder sitting on the far left, he continued, "This is Elder Felix, your great-great-great-grandfather. At the same time, he is also the ancestor of the Dulands, Morris, Messier, and Claudio families. In fact...... I am your great-grandfather. ”

With that, the elder who had introduced Jones and claimed to be Jones' great-grandfather stepped aside.

Among the three elders, Elder Felix, who was closest to Jones's blood, smiled and nodded at Jones. The smile seemed to express some kind of approval.

With the four lichs who were his guards, Jones walked to the middle of the main hall step by step, once again stood in his previous position, and saluted respectfully: "Jones Dracula, Lord of Giant Snake City, meet the elders!"

The four lichs only bowed slightly, and then bowed.

Touching his chin, Elder Felix smiled and said, "We actually thought that one day, we might be coerced by our own descendants. After all, there are so many descendants, there will always be a great one. Sooner or later, the Bloodline will produce a true strongman. It's all very depraved, but there's always going to be an outlier, isn't it? What we didn't expect was that it was a seventy-six-year-old kid who was coercing us. ”

Slowly raising his head, Jones replied with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

"It's not exactly a compliment, kid. Don't you think the point of this passage is 'coercion'? Don't tell me you haven't thought about it. ”

"I just followed my heart and thought about the way I should have got. ”

"Obey your heart? Is that what your adoptive father taught you?"

"Yes. Jones looked up at the three elders without hesitation: "Excuse me, elders, ancestors, is there anything important about summoning me?"

"Or else?" Elder Adrien on the other side snorted, "Did we come to you to play chess with you?"

Looking at Elder Adrien, Jones smiled and said, "Elder Adrien, I respect you as the ancestor of Adair, but if this is a formal meeting, please be careful with the wording. Didn't you hear what I just said, I wanted you to say something directly?"

"You!" Elder Adrien's eyes widened and his face turned green.

Elder Basaromu, who was the ancestor of the Blood Clan on the side, laughed and whispered to Elder Adrian, "I like this kid very much, he is the only Blood Clan I have ever seen who dares to speak to us like this. It's peculiar, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, sat on a high platform, looked down at Jones, and said, "You are brave, my child." You are also very resolute. Very stubborn. This is a common trait of people who truly possess faith. There are almost no people like you in the Bloodline, because we have no faith and cannot have faith. ”

"Why?" Jones asked.

"You know so little, and we've been through a tiring amount of time compared to the 76 years you have of memories. But it's not useless. If I have the chance, I'll tell you why the Bloodline can't have faith. After a pause, Elder Basaromu continued, "Although we have infinite light yīn to waste, at least the light yīn at this moment is not what I want to waste. Just follow your mind and get down to business. In the long history of the past, there have been countless people whose ancestors have tried to change the Bloodline. It's just that none of them have ever had such a great power as you. Not enough to force us to make a decision. Of course, it's not just your power that forces us to make decisions. And what is happening in the north. ”

"Yes, the North. Elder Felix smiled and took Elder Barsaromu's words, "We've long been aware of the rise of the Lich King, and we've long been aware of what's happening in the north. That's really something that hasn't been seen in 10,000 years. The main forces of angels and demons are pinned down there. Although they still have the power to spare, at least on the continent of Celtes. ”

"Your Highness Elder Felix, I don't quite understand what you mean by saying this. Jones was confused, and stared blankly at Elder Felix.

The entire hall was silent, and all the elders were looking at Jones.

Elder Felix leaned forward slightly, smiled and asked, "I would like to ask you, you want to keep both Gruglu and Dracula, so do you have any specific plans for the future?" ”
