Chapter 67, Covert Negotiations.
Besides, compared to fighting with a big guy of the same rank, there are more important things waiting for Volclast to deal with now.
Deep in the camp of the Skeleton Army, in a tent protected by layers, Walclast sat opposite a vampire.
Volclas is worthy of being a long-established undead, even in the materially poor undead world, he still got a lot of good treasures.
For example, the camp where the two of them were at this time, although it had been thoroughly corroded by the ubiquitous dead air of the undead world, it was still not difficult to see how gorgeous it once was from the traces of the stars.
This is definitely a top-notch magic tent, and it is by no means a war tool used in marching and fighting.
It is a luxury item that the emperor's relatives in a big country in the world will only use when they go out.
Volclast's collection is very good, but it can only be considered a drop in the bucket compared to vampires.
After all, skeletons can't eat, drink, and have fun, but vampires can, so they know how to enjoy more.
Putting down the delicate teacup in his hand, the young vampire sitting opposite Wolklast behaved very elegantly.
The black gentleman's suit with gold trim on his body, combined with his handsome appearance, makes him look very attractive.
"Lord Volcras, what do you think of my father's opinion?"
A magnetic voice sounded, and the young vampire looked at the skeleton opposite with a smile, and his tone was very indifferent, without the slightest sense of nervousness, as if he was not asking about a big matter, but just an ordinary greeting.
Volclas lowered his head and remained motionless for a long time before speaking in that slightly hoarse voice.
"I also have the hope of advancing to the eighth order, so why do I need to send someone to the fence?"
"Having said that, after all, Your Excellency is only a seventh-order now, and although it is rare in the marginal area, compared to your father, it is a little worse after all, not to mention that even if you can advance to the eighth-order, what if you can advance to the eighth order? If you want to gain a foothold in the undead realm, the strength of the eighth order is not enough, you always have to find a backer. ”
"Heh, find a vampire who is also an eighth-order backer?"
"No, no, no, no, of course, the strength of my father alone is not enough to make Your Excellency surrender, but we vampires are a big family, my father followed Prince Nicholas to the north and south, and fought for a thousand years, Prince Nicholas is my father's backer, an existence at the peak of the ninth order, I think it should be enough to be Your Excellency's backer, right?"
The young vampire's words caused Volclast to fall silent for a long time before he spoke quietly.
"I'm Elder Grace's man."
"To be precise, the lord within the jurisdiction of Elder Grace, you are not a subordinate relationship, just a simple mutual assistance and mutual benefit, you can be his subordinate today, and you can be stationed in another place tomorrow, you can also become another person's subordinate, as long as your Excellency is willing to follow your father, our Hussein blood clan can prepare a treasure land covering an area of thousands of miles and extremely high quality of undead for you, as long as you lead your subordinates to come and move in, as for the trouble on Elder Grace's side, we will solve it for you."
As he said this, the vampire took out a small box from his bosom and gently opened it, revealing three eighth-order soul ghost fires inside.
"This is a gift that my father asked me to bring to Lord Wolcras, and it should be a little greeting."
Looking at the soul ghost fire in front of him, the flames in Volcras's excited eyes trembled, and with the force of his palm, he directly pinched the bone armrest out of the crack.
It's just that Volcras is an old fritter who has lived for hundreds of years after all, even if there is not much intrigue between the undead, hundreds of years of baptism are enough for him to know how to hide his emotions.
Slowly loosening his palm, Volklas gave the young vampire a deep look.
"It seems that Elder Hussein has really made a lot of money."
"Where, where, if you can recruit a bone hero like Your Excellency at such a price, just three eighth-order pieces are nothing at all, not to mention that our Hussein blood clan still has some family background, and three soul ghost fires are just enough, and we can still get them."
The young vampire knows how to speak, and in a few words, he not only praises Volcras's strength, but also points out his own financial resources.
His flattery, Volcras was obviously very useful, and at this time the pitch-black skull couldn't help but smile a little.
Three eighth-order soul ghost fires, if he could absorb them all, Volklast had a great chance of breaking through to the eighth-order realm.
This Elder Hussein is indeed much more generous than Elder Grace.
Of course, the top masters of Hussein's blood clan are too rare, and he urgently needs to win over powerful lords, which is also one of the main reasons why he is so generous.
Volclast had to admit that he was moved.
The undead did not have absolute loyalty, and the other party's request was not too excessive, although he needed to hand in the soul fragments, but the soul fragments handed in did not need to be complete.
Even if the two sides really turned their faces, Elder Hussein would not be able to manipulate the soul fragments to kill him, at most it would make him lose his strength greatly.
Three eighth-order soul ghost fires, in exchange for his absolute allegiance, Volklas nodded after being silent for a long time.
"I can pledge allegiance to Elder Hussein, but I have another request."
Before Volcras could finish speaking, the young vampire sitting across from him was already smiling and speaking.
"On behalf of the Hussein family, I assure you that if these three soul ghost fires fail to make Your Excellency break through to the Eighth Order, our Hussein family will definitely do our best to help Your Excellency break through, this is our family's commitment, swear by the glory of the blood clan!"
The young vampire's words made Volclast shudder, and he suddenly looked up at him, his eyes filled with both surprise and confusion.
The young vampire smiled at this.
"Actually, it is also good for us to help Your Excellency break through, the help that an eighth-order ally can provide is even far better than ten seventh-order subordinates, Lord Volcras, you are the king of bones, and you have the power to create bones and undead, and our family also wants to see the scene where Your Excellency leads hundreds or thousands of fifth-order skeleton generals to gallop on the battlefield! It is precisely because of your potential that our family will invite you so sincerely! ”
Holding the small box with both hands, the young vampire smiled and pushed the soul ghost fire towards him.
"Now, then, please make your choice, Lord Volcras, would you like to accept our family's friendship?"
Volklast looked down at the soul ghost fire that was pushed in front of him, and his eyes revealed greed.
"Aren't you afraid that I will rob it by force?"
"Hahaha! Your Excellency said with a smile, since I will come to negotiate with you, I naturally know that your personality is just three soul ghost fires, how can I let your Excellency do such a breach of trust! Not to mention the financial resources of our Elder Hussein! It's just three eighth-order ghost fires! Our family still doesn't care! If you really want it, even if it is a gift to you, you can ............"
Bang!
Before the words fell, a roar suddenly sounded above.
Hearing the movement, the young vampire's body suddenly pounced, directly pressing the small box on the table under him, his expression full of panic.
"What's going on?!"
