Since the last time he reported to the police station that the place was "haunted", perhaps to compensate him, Luo Wei was moved to a dormitory in another place, closer to the police station.
He went out as usual, not intending to hibernate because of the previous turmoil.
Go for coffee in the morning and go to the pub in the evening.
These two places are the most well-informed places in Dunling.
Dunling is the center of Europe in every sense of the word. As long as the bankers of Dunling sneeze, the entire European financial market will catch a cold.
Of course, Luo Wei couldn't get any information about those vampires here, but violence and conspiracy were always related to money.
Money is the source of all evil, and all evil is often for money, so the two are born from the same mother and have a deep connection.
In the morning, Luo Wei sat by the window near the street, listening to all kinds of gossip in the cafe.
There are anecdotes about a certain countess, the secret past between the housekeeper and his wife, and some news from West Asia.
Of course, those who can talk loudly about these things here are actually just mouthpieces.
Perhaps they heard it accidentally, or someone deliberately asked them to hear it, so that the news, which they did not know whether it was true or false, passed through their mouths and spread everywhere on the streets of Dunling, processing and fabricating it at will.
"Sir, buy a newspaper."
Luo Wei turned around, and there was the red-haired, brown-eyed newsboy who was not as tall as his waist. People here seemed to call him a little bean bag.
"If you buy two copies, you can get a pictorial for free."
"Why should I buy two identical newspapers?"
Luo Wei smiled and said, "I don't plan to bring bread or bacon out."
"Maybe it can be used for something else."
Xiaodoubao winked at him, moved the green shoulder bag closer to Luo Wei, and opened a gap.
Luo Wei glanced inside and found that there were several pictures of beauties in cool clothes in Xiaodou Bao's bag. These were what he called pictorials.
"Monroe, Anna, and Laudana are all popular actresses today, and underneath, there are photos of swimsuits."
The smile on Xiaodoubao's face became even brighter, revealing a few missing teeth in his mouth.
Luo Wei shook his head, "I only want one portion, one portion is enough."
As he spoke, he took out a copper coin.
"Okay."
Xiaodoubao was obviously a little disappointed, but he still accepted the money and said to Luo Wei seriously: "I wish you good morning, good afternoon and good night, sir."
"Thank you."
Luo Wei patted him on the shoulder, sighing in his heart that the children of the poor have long been in charge. Even in Dunling, where there is gold everywhere, there are still people who have to work hard for two pieces of bread.
When he finished his cup of coffee and was about to get up, Xiaodou Bao ran back and stood in front of his table.
"Don't tell me, is it time to sell the evening paper again so soon, or is there some big headline, and the newspaper has printed more copies?"
Luo Wei was a little helpless, "I'm not interested in those pictures of beautiful women, and I won't buy another newspaper."
However, Xiaodoubao shook his head and said: "It's not a newspaper. Someone asked me to give this to you."
He placed a manila envelope on the table.
"Who gave it to you?"
"I didn't see it clearly. It was a lady. She gave me a dollar and asked me to give you this letter."
"Oh," Luo Wei nodded, "Is there anything else? For example, is there anything you want to tell me?"
"No."
Xiaodoubao was still busy selling newspapers, "She just asked me to bring it to you, that's all."
"Okay, thank you."
Luo Wei took the envelope, looked around, and found that no one was paying attention to him before he started to open the envelope.
Opening the envelope, what fell into his hand was a Five Emperors Coin.
……
During the day in Dunling, it is a kind of tranquility and tranquility that is exquisitely decorated and harmless to humans and animals.
However, at night, the evil that gathers from all over the world makes its night darker and deeper, and the street lights on the roadside cannot illuminate the turbidity.
The Black Rose Club is one of the many luxurious private clubs in the east of Dunling. It is located on the outskirts of the city, with the church cemetery next to it.
Baron Joseph of the Nicholas family is sitting here, sitting together with Baron Reno Dracula, who also has a prominent family and comes from another ancient vampire family, drinking wine but not talking happily.
Joseph has typical Caucasian facial features, blue eyes, aquiline nose, thick lips, and a pair of striking ears.
He turned the wine glass in his hand, and the red liquid dyed his pupils red.
"I don't have that much time to spend here."
Joseph said coldly: "I originally thought that all the blood descendants of Dunling should go to Eastern Europe, but I didn't expect to meet the leaders of the Dracula family here!"
Renault didn't pay attention to the sarcasm in Joseph's tone.
He just smiled faintly, "Things in Eastern Europe are important, and Dunling's affairs are equally critical.
I told you before, now everyone is looking for Count Nicholas, hoping to reach an agreement with the Count. I think as the Count's son, you should know his whereabouts, right? ”
"The Count will not negotiate with any traitor."
Joseph glanced at him sideways, "We Nicholas are the heirs of a great family, blood princes.
In order to preserve the honor of the family, the count has decided to fight the Red Emperor to the end. ”
"Fight to the end?"
Renault's smile became ambiguous. He didn't know if he was hiding a hint of ridicule or if he felt unreasonable.
"Joseph, I regard you as a friend, so I won't hide it from you, because I do it for your own good and don't want you to be doomed.
After the Red Emperor started this vampire war, the four major vampire families, including the Nicholas family, weakened in a short period of time.
Your brother, Sir Luo Lichen, led a group of people to the Far East, thinking of starting a new business in Hong Kong Island. However, the boat capsized in the gutter for some reason, and no one came back alive.
You must know that the Tribunal has not set up any strongholds there, but in Dunling, the Tribunal has seven trial offices. ”
"Oh?"
Joseph was very indifferent to Luo Lichen's death. Let alone avenging him, Joseph didn't even care much about who killed him.
Because Luo Lichen was just one of many stupid brothers to him, and because he was too stupid, his death did not surprise Joseph.
What concerned him was instead the seven tribunals mentioned by Renault.
"The Inquisition has always been in cahoots with the dark world. Isn't this common sense?"
Joseph snorted coldly, "It would be surprising if you said that the Dunling Inquisition was mobilized to deal with the Red Emperor."
"Count, where are you?"
Renault was losing his patience. "Let the count come out and settle all disputes.
As long as he is willing, the noble blood of the vampires will no longer be wasted. I can tell you that the Red Emperor does not want the vampires to become his slaves, he just needs allies.
If Count Nicholas is willing, he can continue to maintain his original status like our old man and Count Magnus, and even be more detached.
Because under the Red Emperor, there are not only blood descendants, but also werewolves and even lichs. These guys are also serving the Red Emperor. ”
"Then according to what you say, wouldn't we become the same lowly creatures as werewolves and necromancers?"
Joseph bared his teeth and said, "Reynold, we are a noble blood family. Even if we die and turn into ashes, we cannot mix with those low-life things, let alone cooperate with an outsider. As far as I know, You know, the Red Emperor, he’s not even a vampire, how can he control all the blood descendants?”
"You don't have to worry about that, because the rest is none of your business, Joseph."
Renault stood up. Behind him, on the wall illuminated by candlelight, many shadows were elongated and terrifying.
It seems that he has made enough preparations and has all the troops.
If the negotiations go well today, ask Joseph to take them to Count Nicholas.
If it doesn't go well, just leave Joseph here.
Obviously, facing Joseph's tough attitude now, the only thing that can do is the latter.
Feeling many auras around him, Joseph was still sitting on the chair, his expression as calm as before.
"Aren't you afraid?" Renault asked him.
"Afraid?"
Joseph sneered, "You seem to be joking. Don't you know that a vampire's heart hardly beats? I can't even breathe, what can I be afraid of?"
As he spoke, his face gradually became as pale as paper, his pupils narrowed, his cheekbones were raised high, and his fangs were exposed.
“I came here today, and I will leave as I came.
Do you think everyone is like you, afraid to go out without bringing so many people with you?
Let me tell you, my carriage is waiting outside the woods. I will walk out soon. If you dare to stop me, the Nicholas family will break the thousands of years of tacit understanding between blood descendants and use all their strength to fight with you. The Dracula family goes to war.
Anyway, we're about to start a fight now, aren't we? The glory of the Bloodline family is almost over. We will all be completely sent into the abyss by the Red Emperor. We are all done! ”
Joseph stood up and tossed the wine glass gently. The red wine splashed everywhere with the glass and fell on Renault's shoes.
At this time, Renault also showed the face of a vampire, which was ferocious and terrifying.
However, even if he was angry, he had to admit that he would never have the courage to break the "truce agreement" between the blood families.
In the past, the four major blood families were dealt with by werewolves and vampire families other than blood families. As for the real blood families, they just stood by and did not participate.
This is what is written in the "truce agreement", and no one has crossed or broken it for thousands of years.
Therefore, even if Renault made harsh words before and said that he would keep Joseph, it was just a threat and a temptation.
"Okay, then..."
The moment Renault raised his hand, a black figure descended from the ceiling, stepped on Joseph's head, kicked the table over, and pushed Joseph's head heavily into the ground, causing gravel to fly.
"Reno, do you really dare to break the truce of the blood descendants?"
Joseph raised his head, spitting out words and blood from his shattered mouth, his eyes filled with resentment and full of shock.
However, Renault was also surprised and almost speechless. It took him a while before he remembered to get angry.
"You bastard!"
He poked the face of the person in front of him with his finger, "I didn't say I would take action, why would you..."
"Ah!"
Renault's fingers underwent a violent deformation that made people's bones feel cold just looking at them. With a gentle squeeze from the person in front of him, the vampire was bent down by a huge force. Even though they themselves were not sensitive to pain, at this moment I also felt the long-lost pain.
"Who are you calling a bastard, huh?"
Yin Xiu glanced at him and then stepped on Joseph, who was struggling to raise his head, into the ground, causing the latter's newly recovered jaw to be shattered and dislocated again.
"It won't be your turn until later. Now I have to deal with this decent bastard in front of me."
Yin Xiu's boots lightly tapped Joseph's head, as if calling him to reply.
Joseph could only whimper in response, not sure whether it was to curse or to show that he understood.
However, Yin Xiu didn't care how he answered.
As soon as he removed his boots, many wolf slaves and blood slaves emerged from the door to Yin Xiu's left and right, and swarmed up.
Apparently, Renault gave these guys orders just now.
"Do you think you are smart?"
Yin Xiu nuzzled her chin at him.
Renault smiled. Although he was still controlled by Yin Xiu, he seemed to be ready to give Yin Xiu a taste of the pain.
"Who are you?" he asked.
However, the answer to Renault was the sound of whistling wind. Yin Xiu grabbed Renault with one hand, as if holding a chicken, and flew up and down with the other hand, hitting it in all directions, as fast as pop rain falling.
Every time he punched, a wolf slave or blood slave would have his head exploded under his fist, or be kicked four or five meters away by Yin Xiu.
There were only a few victims at first, but as Yin Xiu fought more smoothly and even took the initiative, the room gradually became filled with corpses, so much so that Renault had nowhere to go.
"Where is the Red Emperor?" Yin Xiu asked him.
"Who are you?"
As soon as Renault finished speaking, Yin Xiu's hand flew over, and the vampire's head was cut off in half like a watermelon, with blood splattering everywhere.
"Don't answer questions with questions."
Yin Xiu shook the blood from her hands.
