The Battle of the Adesi River, which took place in June of the fourth year of the Silver Moon, showed the face of the Great Serpent City in front of everyone for the first time. From strength to morale, there are all sides.

Although neither side was able to eliminate the other and failed to achieve a real victory, it was generally believed that Snake City had won. After all, the Elders with a history of tens of thousands of years sent all the elders, but they still couldn't make Giant Snake City succumb and had to retreat. Doesn't it prove the strength of Giant Snake City?

It has proven itself to be a giant on par with the Bloodline Senate.

This is the first truly emerging force on the turbulent continent of Celtes, truly from top to bottom, implementing the forces of justice that Gray expects. Pieced together little by little by Gray's adopted son, Jones, it is not only war and destruction, but also creation. Despite this turbulent world, creation is still inextricably linked to war.

After the war, unexpectedly, the Senate did not propose to renegotiate with the Giant Serpent City. Even when Jones sent an invitation to renegotiate, it was in vain.

"Why don't they negotiate with us? If they don't negotiate with us, how will the war end? They can't eat us, and we can't eat them. This is not the outcome of the war that we want. Jones wondered about this.

It was as if everything had just come to a standstill.

Unbeknownst to Jones at this time, the High Court was undergoing a drastic ideological change. This is unprecedented in the tens of thousands of years of history of the Blood Clan. The descendants of the Bloodline have become suspicious of the authority of the Senate, of their own way of life, and even of the world at large. They need to re-examine everything, they need to reorient themselves. Perhaps, they need a fresh start.

Two months after the Battle of the Adesi, in August of the fourth year of the Silver Moon, several princes of the Sambo family appeared in the city of the Great Serpent.

Not only Sambo, but also Gangero, Nicklaus, and several other representatives of the Bloodline.

Jones received them in the main hall of Castle Hill in the Great Serpent City.

It was a large hall several times larger than the main hall of the Blood Castle above the clouds of the High Court, and it had just been completed not long ago. The layout is somewhat similar to the main hall of the Blood Castle, with a rostrum, an auditorium, and a platform in the center. The difference is that the Temple of the Giant Serpent is not like an arena.

Every position here is a high-backed chair, including the auditorium. Rows of high-backed chairs sat lichs, dwarves, elves, goblins, and even goblins with several positions. Adair and Belle are among them.

Oh yes, and Hydra. Behind Jones's position, there was a huge platform, which was where Hydra Ophelia was. Nine snake heads stood tall, right behind Jones. Condescending. Large flags with the symbol of a nine-petaled snake flower hang from the walls on all four sides.

The scene was more solemn than the Blood Lords could have imagined.

Coughing embarrassedly twice, Prince Louis, as the leader of the mission, solemnly saluted Jones: "Honorable Lord of Megasnake City, Hydra Knight Jones Dracula, it's an honor to meet you. We are representatives of the following bloodlines of the High Court Senate. ”

The other Blood Lords saluted, including Prince Harez, including Tess, and Belle's father.

The movement was slow and graceful.

The members of the Giant Snake City Auditorium in the auditorium all watched quietly.

"Welcome to Mega Snake City, my friends. Jones exclaimed, "I'm glad to tell you that the Sambo family's property in Snake City has always been in good hands. No losses were suffered. ”

"Thank you!" Prince Louis took a deep breath and replied in a loud voice, "As a member of the Sambo family, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Thank you for not being angry with us because of this war! Thank you for your mercy and understanding!"

"That's what I'm supposed to do. May I ask, are you here on behalf of the Senate?"

Adair sat in a high-backed chair in the auditorium not far away, leaning on the armrests and holding his cheeks, quietly looking at his father standing in the center of the hall.

"No, honorable Lord of Megasnake City, Hydra Knight. Prince Louis replied, "The Senate has abandoned its guidance to the descendants of the blood, and we have come on our behalf." As I said earlier, we represent the Bloodline below the High Court Senate. The tragedy of the Idesi River makes it clear that the Bloods and the Serpent City will coexist on the Korin Peninsula. This will be the case, at least for a long time to come. We have come to find a way to coexist. We look forward to a conversation with you. Looking forward to being accepted again. ”

"Thank you so much for your candour. This kind of honesty is good for us. Jones stood up and said in a loud voice, "As a sincere participant in the dialogue, I will pardon the sins committed by all the Bloods, including the Senate, in the war, within the framework of the laws of Mega Serpent City." The property of the Blood Lord will also be returned to those confiscated during the war. Although war hurts each other, we support dialogue and peace. What we want is never hatred, and that should not be a reason to blind us. Of course, since it is a dialogue, you have to be mentally prepared that you will not get everything you want. ”

The voice echoed through the hall, and everyone listened.

The blue moonlight shone obliquely through the castle window, shining on Jones's figure, reflecting everything in a peaceful color.

"We have sensed your sincerity and very much agree with what you have said. Honorable Lord of Mega Serpent City. Prince Louis saluted once more with the members of the Blood Legation.

Who would have thought that just a few years ago, Jones was just a laughed at underage blood. Although he is still underage now, he is already the Lord of Giant Snake City and a Hydra Knight. You can stand on top of the main hall and talk to the entire Bloodline.

Time is the world's greatest artist, able to sculpt things into something you can't imagine, a unique look.

......

The nine-petaled snake flower banner flew at the top of the castle.

Serpent City is still alive at night, and nocturnal creatures are busy. For them, a new day has just begun.

"I estimate that in a while, Giant Snake City may be fully open to the Blood Clan. There will be a lot of blood clans pouring into Mega Snake City and becoming residents of Giant Snake City. ”

"But we've just fought them...... They also did not surrender. And weren't we fully open to them before? Even during the war, there were a lot of Bloods operating in Mega Snake City. ”

"That's different. They used to come, but they looked down on us from the bottom of their hearts. It's different now, they have to bring their respect for Giant Snake City with them. The fat dwarf walked past the two goblins with the box and said casually, "That's a good thing for us." We sing the praises of valor, but war itself is not a good thing. ”

......

"I was there. The tall elven man leaned against the long table and boasted to the two elven girls with a smug face, "I have witnessed the fierce battle between the city lord and the great elder of the blood clan. In a few days, I will meet the city lord to receive the Silver Nine-Petal Snake Flower Medal. If I want, I can bring you with me. ”

"In that case, can you meet the castle lord?" asked one of the elven maidens with a look of adoration.

"Of course, see him up close. It's too easy to see from a distance, but up close, it's not everyone's chance. You don't wear a helmet. ”

"Great! I heard that the city lord is very good-looking! I'm sure I'll dream of him at night after seeing him!" the other elven girl sighed, her eyes lit with stars.

"Uh...... He's just a kid. ”

"But he's going to grow up, won't he? We can wait. ”

"He's a bloodliner, not an elf. Don't you think I'm more real standing in front of you?"

"You shouldn't be racist. The Lich King Gray Grugrew is a lich, and his wife is human. With a look of disdain, the two elven girls walked away holding hands and huffing.

The elven man was left alone and stood in place, bewildered.

......

"The war made us discover that we were true love, so we decided to get married. Please help us with the formalities. "Two goblins hugging each other, sweet.

"Okay, we get it. Congratulations. The elf girl at the counter wiped her sweat helplessly, and exhaled helplessly when she lowered her head.

......

Susan walked the streets of Serpent City dressed like a doll, puffing out. Sometimes he looked around at the crowd of people who were hurrying by, and sometimes he looked at the huge castle in the distance that could be seen from any point in the Giant Snake City.

"Susan, aren't you going to hurry up, we still have a lot of work to do!" Aunt Sarah urged at the front.

Susan hurried after her skirt and complained, "Why do we have to move to Snake City?"

"Because Mega Snake City has a future. The previous one is already in the past tense. Your father has decided to settle here, and we must take our place here before the other Bloodlines can react. If your father can't take a place, you can't marry a good husband, you know?"

"Why does it have to be Snake City!" said Susan's eyebrows were so furrowed that she could wring out water.

"I've already told you why, how many times do you have to ask? Why don't you hurry up?"

"Good...... Good. ”

Not far behind Susan, even more entangled than Susan is the Bailey cousin who was beaten by Jones.

......

"Count Dracula, Countess Dracula. This is the house that the lord has arranged for you. ”

Looking at the two-story cozy house with a small garden in front of him, and then at the huge castle where Jones lived in the distance behind him, Count Dedracula lowered his voice and said to the community administrator of Mega Snake City wearing a top hat on the side, "He...... Didn't he plan to give us a castle? I'm an earl after all. ”

"There have been a lot of earls in town lately. The caretaker smiled and replied, "Moreover, this is the place designated by the lord." IMHO, such a solitary house in Mega Serpent City is not cheap. If Count Dracula is not satisfied, he can go to the lord and talk to him. As long as he asks, we are ready to help you change. ”

"Uh...... Are you going to go to him?"

"Of course. Or you can ask Miss Dora, but in the end, the lord will have to agree. ”

"Then I'd better stay here first. ”

"Okay. The caretaker took out a scroll from his purse and handed it over: "This is the deed, please keep it." Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't keep it, the lord has already informed the government department to set this house as 'non-tradable'. It will always be under the name of two. ”

When the caretaker had gone, Countess Dracula looked at her husband with a sly look and said, "Maybe you should have a good talk with Jones." ”

"Forget it, let's live here. With a sigh, Count Dracula walked straight in.

......

In the Giant Serpent Hall under the moonlight, Jones was seriously discussing the details with the representatives of the Blood Clan.

Dora smiled and sat beside him, listening intently.

Adair was arguing with his father about the terms of trade. However, arguments aside, the overall atmosphere is still harmonious.

......

High Court, clouds.

In front of the Blood Citadel, Grand Elder Barsaromu was standing silently, watching through the clouds at the fading lights of the High Court city-state below.

"Are you all gone?" Elder Felix silently came behind him.

"Walked a lot. Grand Elder Basaromu replied.

"Don't you stop it?"

"There's no need. Elder Basaromu shook his head, "Let them go." It may make sense to them to that little guy, but it doesn't really make sense to us. ”

"After waiting for more than 10,000 years, I finally waited for an opportunity, but I didn't expect to kick it on the iron plate. The most critical problem is that we did not believe the message that Adolf gave us. ”

"Adolf?" Grand Elder Barsaromu was stunned for a moment.

"Adolfo Cappadocia, whose real name is Ansère Lefebler. Have you forgotten your pseudonym?"

"Well, I remembered. What do you think we should do next?"

"Keep waiting. We've been waiting for 10,000 years and don't care about waiting. Snake City will see a rapid development, but they will certainly face more difficult opponents. Even if it can be solved...... It's still far from true liberation. We're just going to stay here and watch them perform, just like before. Anyone who can stand up to heaven and hell is our quasi-ally. We can't eat them, and we just change our strategy slightly, and the general policy will not change. Taking a step back, it's also good that there are various forces to distract Heaven and Hell when the 'Awakening Day' comes, isn't it?"

"Okay, then leave it alone for now. With that, Grand Elder Barsaromu turned around and walked in the direction of the Blood Fortress.

Elder Felix watched his back silently, and after a while, followed.
