Chapter 970: Peace Talks (3)
"In the future, I believe I don't need to say anything more. Ryan sat in his chair and looked at Amptalo who was sitting across from him and said unhurriedly.
Amptaro only listened to Ryan talk about a beginning, and then he knew what the whole thing was about, Ryan and their attack, it was simply Amptaro manipulated behind his back, originally this was just an intrigue within the Ashamai clan, and the two sides were just competing for the right to speak within the family, but they didn't expect to provoke such a group of Hryster housemothers who were far stronger than themselves, and had to swallow the big bitter fruit in front of them.
Thinking of this, Amptaro's face couldn't help twitching a few times, he couldn't wait to clean up the Cage who had more than enough success and more than enough to fail, but this wish could only be put on the solution of the matter in front of him, so Amputalo said: "I feel very sad that such a thing happened, I didn't expect Rooney to do anything behind our backs, because we trust him so much, let him handle daily affairs as a family deacon!"
Seeing that Amptalo had set the tone, Ryan interjected and asked, "So, Mr. Amptalo has the right to dispose of the whole matter, then why should we wait here for the vote of the other members of your family?"
"After all, Rooney is the deacon of the family and a lord. When Amptalo said this, his tone changed slightly, and he said with some hint: "If the family is in my sole control, of course I will make the wisest choice, but many times the larger the family, the more restrictions it will be subjected to, which must be understandable to several people." Well, I'll try to keep the impact as small as I can, I wonder if there are any other requirements?"
"We're here to hunt monsters and push the limits, the pursuit of power is the ultimate goal, and nothing else will affect our steps. Ryan glanced at the Mother of Helist, and said to Amptalo: "Since the Ashamai clan has lived in seclusion here for thousands of years, I believe they are very familiar with the environment here, and we hope to get help from your family?"
"Would you like us to accompany you on the hunt for realm-level demonic beasts?" Amptalo asked.
"No, then you don't need it. Ryan shook his head and responded, "We want to get a detailed map of this foggy cave, such as where those powerful demonic beasts are located, so as to save us time in searching, and if the demonic beasts on the second layer can't achieve the purpose of our trip, maybe we will also consider entering the third layer to continue this adventure, and we also hope that the Ashamai clan will provide detailed locations for the entrances to those passages leading to the lower layers." ”
"Oh, you actually want to enter the third layer?" Hearing Ryan say this, Amptaro was stunned for a moment, and then he suppressed his curiosity and explained: "When our Ashamai family chose here, we also went down to the third layer to explore, but the demonic beasts below were much stronger than here, and the strength of the family was not as strong as it is now, but it also suffered a few dark losses, but fortunately, the losses were not big. Over the years, our lords have taken turns to go out to make rounds, and almost all the terrain and landforms of the second layer have been drawn into a book, I believe it will be helpful to you, but ......"
"If there are any conditions, you might as well say it directly. Ryan didn't think the other party would give it all to him, as long as the terms of the exchange were reasonable, he didn't care about paying some price.
"That's right, such a map is a very important strategic material for our family, after all, the family lives in seclusion here, if the map of the entire Misty Cave leaks out, I'm afraid that our Ashamai clan will never have peace!" Amptalo's words were not exaggerated, seeing that Ryan nodded towards him, he agreed with this, and continued: " In addition, in the previous conflict, you have nothing to lose, but our Ashmai clan has really suffered a big loss, this matter has not yet been understood, and I have to give such an important thing with both hands, I am afraid that a few front feet have just left, and I, Amptalo, will face the anger of the family members on the back foot, and I have to flee in a hurry, unless I can get the absolute right to speak......"
When Amptaro said this, four or five members of the blood clan had already walked into the cave that was used as a conference room, they seemed to know what had just happened, and they were not surprised by the existence of the Heristt master and her party, the strength of these blood clans was only at the level of duke or vice-lord, after entering the cave, they quickly sat down on the chairs carved out of gems around them, and then stayed there quietly like stone sculptures, and did not seem to hear the hint in Amptaror's words.
Seeing that the family members had already arrived one after another, Amptaro no longer continued to talk about this topic, but talked about some old stories: "Do you know why there are thirteen seats at the round table here? It is because our blood clan had a total of thirteen powerful emperors back then, and they joined forces to even kill those high gods. However, it is a pity that many years later, the respective families of the thirteen emperors parted ways and evolved into the current thirteen clans of the blood clan. Although the blood clan is divided into two camps due to different ideals, the Demon Banquet and the Secret, each member of the blood clan hopes that everyone can finally reunite and integrate the power of the thirteen clans to restore the glory of the blood clan, so each family's council hall has this kind of round table with thirteen positions. ”
Hearing Amptalo say this, Ryan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, this blood lord said it well, but in fact, he didn't say the point at all, the so-called reunite, I'm afraid they all hope to integrate the power of other families with their own family as the mainstay, right?
After chatting for a while, there were more than thirty people sitting in the council hall, but there was no one at the lord level, listening to Amptalo's explanation, it turned out that those lord-level existences often didn't pay much attention to mundane things, and were just bent on improving their own strength, so family meetings like this would send deputies to participate, and if there was anything that these deputies couldn't decide, they would report through their own means and wait for a reply. This approach is also reasonable, but now that Ryan and the other four are here, the Ashamai clan actually has no means of countermeasures, no matter how you look at it, there is a feeling of wanting to cover up.
Seeing that the entire cave was almost full, Amptaro explained a few words to the Heristel Mother and the others in a low voice, and then stood up and faced the members of the family, and loudly told what happened today, as Amptaro's deacon and the party Rooney had been killed in battle, so Amptaro could describe those details in a direction that was favorable to him, and put the damage caused by the Herestel Mother and others and the losses suffered by the family on Roonedri, and when such a large narrative was completed, not only the vast majority of the blood clans present, but even Ryan and others present also understood Amptalo's plan, he wants to take advantage of this opportunity in front of him to forcibly seize the family's right to speak, and completely defeat the obstacles of the Runidri faction to him.
Although there are still many members left in the faction of Runidri, the death of the leader of the faction has left them leaderless, and it is difficult to set off any storm at the family meeting, but they are naturally unwilling to wait for death, so they insist that the death of Runidri has caused the entire Ashamai family to suffer huge losses, after all, the lord-level blood clan has reached the powerhouse of the advanced realm level in terms of combat effectiveness, so it is necessary to take revenge on the side of the Mother of the Herest. Under the guidance of Amptalo, intentionally or unintentionally, and with the help of others, the family meeting of Ashamai reached a final decision, and the family sent a strong man to launch a gambling battle against the side of the Mother of Helist.
For such a result, Ryan and they have long known that Amptalo's skills are not superb, and in an instant, they have set a trap for Ryan's side and Runidri's side, and the remaining strength of Runidri's faction cannot give up this opportunity, otherwise they will have no chance to turn over, Ryan has no way to refuse in Amptalo's opinion, he has given enough hints that if Ryan does not act according to his baton, he must face the anger of the entire Ashamai clan, no matter how strong Ryan and others are, they will also feel quite difficult when facing the revenge power of a blood clan, and at the same time, completely lost the opportunity to get the map of the Fog Cave.
In this way, no matter who wins or loses on both sides of this gambling fight, the results obtained are in favor of Amptaro, if the two sides fight a lose-lose situation, it is estimated that Amputalo will not give up such an opportunity to take advantage of the fire, which is definitely a dilemma. It's a pity that Amptalo missed the identity of the Heriot mother and the strength of the Ryan couple, which is also the reason why the Heristt mother has not revealed her identity, that is the biggest and last hole card of her secret trip this time, how can it be easily revealed in front of a hostile opponent like the Ashama clan?
"Come with me, a few of them!" Amptalo still maintained his previous polite appearance, leading Ryan and the others towards the family gladiatorial arena, and he said in very brief words on the way: "Those three are all Runidri's subordinates, I believe that a few of them don't want to leave such a trouble, right?" This is a win-win gamble, if a few of them win, I will be in charge of giving another batch of property in the name of Roonedri, I believe that even a strong person at the realm level will be satisfied with the careful collection of a blood lord with a life span of tens of thousands of years. ”
