That night, when Ye Ling met Elizabeth as usual, she found that the female archduchess was angry and very annoyed, and she even scolded her, who had always paid attention to cultivation: "Damn, Brad, that guy, I'm angry!"

It wasn't until she saw Ye Ling that she stopped scolding, looked Ye Ling up and down for a while, and she said strangely: "Today's you seem to be a little different from usual!"

As the saying goes, this is indeed true for vampires, Ye Ling's changes are mainly in temperament and extremely small details, specific to every part of this face, but you can't tell where he has changed.

"Yes, maybe it's because I've been following you for so long, and I've also been influenced by you, and I'm paying more attention to my demeanor, right?" Speaking of this, Ye Ling diverted the topic: "Archduke Elizabeth, what's wrong with you......?" It doesn't look like I'm in the mood too much. ”

Speaking of this, Elizabeth's bewitching pretty face stiffened, and she snorted: "It's not just that I'm in a bad mood, I'm about to explode, do you know, just now, in the name of the Grand Duke, I recommended you to represent our Kula family to escort you into the upper battle, but you were vetoed!"

"What, how can this be?" Ye Ling was slightly surprised: "Grand Duke Elizabeth, didn't you tell me before that every Grand Duke has a special right to recommend?"

"That's true, but I forgot to tell you that this recommended person actually has certain requirements, originally I thought you wouldn't have a problem, but Brad's guy just had to make a big fuss and point out that you don't meet the recommendation requirements!" Elizabeth blushed and explained to Ye Ling.

First of all, the recommended demon must have a certificate of citizenship in Twilight, which is not a problem, and soon after planning to train Ye Ling well and make him a bridge to build a good relationship between herself and Princess Night Moon, Elizabeth handled Ye Ling's citizenship certificate, which is naturally a piece of cake for a grand duke.

However, in addition, the recommended person must also have a certain contribution to Twilight, so in the past month, Elizabeth took Ye Ling to participate in several activities, not only Star Tribulation and Warcraft fights, but also contributions.

Generally speaking, this requirement is not too high, as long as you make a show, the official review will give the grand duke this face, and relax the criteria for people to pass it, but at that time, the other grand duke of Twilight, Archduke Brad, was calculating and raised objections, claiming that the newcomer recommended by Elizabeth contributed too little to Twilight, did not meet the conditions, and could not be escorted to directly participate in the battle on the upper position.

Strictly calculated, his opposition was justified, and the official reviewers had no choice but to veto Elizabeth's candidate, vampires are very face-saving, and the female archduke was slapped in the face in public today, so she was naturally very unhappy in her heart.

Archduke Brad, Elizabeth's political opponent? Ye Ling's brows furrowed, during this time, he was not only learning the domination of blood, but also had a lot of understanding of the Shili disputes in Twilight, especially the political Shili related to Elizabeth, after all, now that the two are on the same front, Ye Ling also hopes that Elizabeth's political career can be smooth sailing, so that he can create more conditions for himself.

Elizabeth is on the throne by means of communication, and most of the nobles in Twilight City maintain a good relationship, but this Archduke Brad is a rare exception, unlike the Kura family, the Archduke Brad's Vicky family is a veteran nobleman of the Vampire Dynasty, with a deep heritage, many talents, Shili is quite large, maybe it is very unpleasant to Elizabeth's style, or he is afraid that her methods are too powerful, and will threaten his position in the future, Brad ignores Elizabeth's initiative to get together, and always tries to make things difficult everywhere。 At the beginning, he even proposed that Elizabeth's comprehensive conditions would not allow her to enter the ranks of the Grand Duke, and asked for her title to be reduced.

If it weren't for the fact that the ghost king Hardwick looked up to this duchess very much, thought that her communication skills were strong, and she could handle the diplomatic relations of the vampire dynasty well, and personally came forward to say good things, and Elizabeth mobilized other nobles who had a good relationship with her to oppose it collectively, she would not even be able to have this title second only to the ghost king.

Since that relegation incident, Elizabeth has understood that Archduke Brad wants to bring her down, and then she hates it to the bone, but her shili is still very weak, and she can only survive with the influence of other nobles, and she can only swallow her anger, but Archduke Brad is still aggressive and has repeatedly hindered what she wants to do, so even the Archduke who is very well-cultivated will be so out of shape.

After a few more curses, Elizabeth sighed: "I'm sorry, Yi Lin, I didn't expect such a thing to happen!"

Ye Ling said tentatively: "So, I can't participate in the Gothic Holy War?"

"No, it's not that serious, any demon with a certificate of Twilight citizenship is eligible to participate in the war, it's just that you can't enjoy the advantage of special recommendations!"

"In other words, I have to start with the lower position?"

"Yes, that's right, if you can stand out from the lower position and the middle rank, Zuihou will still be able to enter the upper position. ”

Ye Ling put down the big stone in his heart, he didn't want to prepare for so long, but now he couldn't play, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I thought it was a big deal, let's fight in the next position, just take it as a warm-up, I haven't fought with vampires much yet, a little more experience may be a good thing for me!"

"That being said, Brad must also know that the candidate I personally recommended must be very strong, and it is only a matter of time before he fights to the top, but he still has to deny my recommendation, it shouldn't be as simple as making me lose face. Elizabeth had already calmed down at this time: "I think, you suddenly appeared in our family, and he doesn't know much about you, so he wants to take advantage of the lower rank battle and the middle rank battle to find out the details! So, Yi Lin, if you can, try not to reveal too much of your true strength before entering the upper rank battle, and when it comes to the upper rank battle, let that old bastard be caught off guard!"

For the aristocrats of Twilight, Gothic Jihad is not just a traditional show, but even an extension of politics. Because the number of vampires is not large, a family with more than 100 direct members of vampires can already be regarded as large, in fact, there are only dozens of direct vampire members of the Kura family, and Brad's Vicky family is a big family, and there are only more than three hundred. Therefore, the quantity and quality of vampire demons owned by a certain family have a great impact on its overall liliang, and many big nobles will send vampire demons to the Gothic Holy War to show the strength of their family, which also has a certain relationship with its status in the Vampire Dynasty.

Therefore, no nobles will ignore this stage, especially for Shili, a talent like the Kura family, who is withered and ascended to the position through communication, Elizabeth wants to change people's impression of herself through Gothic Jihad, so that the entire Twilight City knows that the demons under her hands are still very powerful, so as to attract the support of more nobles. And Brad obviously didn't want to see this happen, so in the previous Gothic Holy Wars, he constantly looked for opportunities to suppress the demons of the Kura family, especially the representatives recommended by Elizabeth herself, and sometimes even changed the ranking to volley at the expense of losing certain games, so that over the years, the demons sent by the Kura family have always ended up in disgrace in the Gothic Holy War, which further deepened the contradictions and grudges between the two.

Originally, Brad knew all the demons of the Kura family well, but this time Elizabeth recommended it, but it was unexpectedly an unfamiliar face, and the cautious Brad felt that this was unusual, so he raised objections to see how this newcomer was, and then make plans.

Elizabeth's face was as cold as water, and she looked at Ye Ling and said deeply: "Yi Lin, this bastard of Grand Duke Brad is my political opponent, I have endured him for a long time, and I don't want to endure it anymore, this time, you must give me a good fight!"

Ye Ling originally didn't want to get involved in the political battle of the Vampire Dynasty, but now he can't help himself, Elizabeth is frustrated, and it is even more difficult for him to see Princess Yeyue. So Ye Ling clenched his fists and said slowly: "Don't worry, Grand Duke Elizabeth, I'll help you make up your mind!"

After a few more days, Gothic Day finally arrived, in this most important festival for vampires, the already prosperous and lively Twilight City is full of all kinds of official and private parties, banquets, parades, starting from the fall of darkness, night and night carnival until dawn, but not everyone can enjoy the festival easily and leisurely, such as those who participated in the Gothic Mujahideen, they are still nervously preparing for war, Ye Ling is one of them, he did not feel the unique festival of vampires, but practiced sweating every day, so that until the third day of Gothic Day, this was out of the Zhaohua Grand Duke's Mansion, because he had to go to the city in person to draw lots and decide the first opponent in the first round of the Holy War.
