Chapter 742 139. Negotiations Begin
Williams returned to his bedroom.
The storm that raged all night turned into a drizzle that moistened the mountains one day later. Williams looked at the "Ancestral Stone" on the table and put his hand on it.
Before Victor’s ancestor’s complaints could reach his ears, Williams asked him about Annan’s identity.
Ancestor Victor thought Annan was a fake. Williams listened silently and suddenly asked: "He said you are a magic stone, a monster born from the body of a vampire."
"He's farting! This lowly blood slave dares to slander me! Kill him!"
"It can also wake up Ancestor Lydia..."
Wei, who was cursing angrily Ancestor Kedo suddenly fell silent.
Williams had the answer in his mind.
……
"Really?"
The Scarlet Princess was doubtful.
“Of course not.”
Getting the Blood Stone is more important than forming an alliance with the Morel family, so Williams must make a decision first.
“But Victor is also their ancestor...”
"Victor is just a stone, not necessarily real. But the real Lydia is lying in the place of sleep."
The next evening, Annan got the news: Williams' father , the patriarch of the Morel family who stood behind the prince rushed back from the front line.
The news that Annan was not sure whether it was the castle reached the front line. But thinking about it, there should be no reason for him to run back to the castle.
Late that night, the contemporary patriarch of the Morel family landed in the castle.
Williams took him to find Annan and explained in detail everything that happened in the past three days, as well as Annan's offense to him... Even if it was a misunderstanding, he hoped that his father could give this guy some color. Look...
Following his father, Williams opened the door to the lounge. The proud Williams looked at his father walking towards the fireplace and bowed deeply.
"Grandpa Euroda..."
This is not at all what Williams thought.
The reason why Williams' father respected Annan so much is simple: "Do you still remember me? You took me to Lost City when I was young..."
Facing the expectations of the blond middle-aged vampire, Annan shook his head: "I remember Lost City, but I don't remember you..."
Williams' father showed such undisguised disappointment that Annan suspected that this was not a test and that Euroda had really done such a thing.
Next, Annan got a story from him that was completely opposite to what Oroda told.
"Don't hate Grandma Lydia...she loves you very much and has never even married."
Annan recalled that he did not see Prince Lydia and other men in the castle. portrait.
"Then why didn't she give me my first hug? Let me die in bed..."
"Because... possessiveness and selfishness." Williams' father told Annan two reasons: "The first embrace will make everything of the first embracer belong to the first embracer. The first embracer only needs a thought to know that it is there. What to do, and kill it... So Grandma Lydia doesn't want to do this, but she also doesn't want you to be embraced by other tribesmen..."
...
"So don't do it again I want to hug you for the first time.”
In the Crimson Princess’s bedroom, Annan recounted his meeting with the patriarch of the Morel family.
“Isn’t this bad?” Princess Crimson tilted her head.
"Of course it's not good! After the first embrace, I will be controlled by you and only listen to your words..."
Annan closed his mouth, because the scarlet princess's interest became more and more intense. "In short, the patriarch promised to hand over the Demon Stone to us and also promised to form an alliance with the Street family."
Lucy next to him asked: "Will there be any A trap?”
“Probably not, he really misses Oralda...” The patriarch’s sincerity does not seem to be fake, “You will form an alliance tomorrow, and then we will set off back to the Street family. Wake up your mother.”
The crimson princess's eyes were glued to Annan: "You helped me again, and what can I do for you..."
"As long as you don't give me your first hug again."
"Except for this."
After running away, Annan took the time to go back to Orouda's bedroom, and told himself the past events the patriarch told him... but there was no response.
It seems that Oralda has really disappeared.
Not long after, the old butler invited Annan to participate in the negotiations between the Morel family and the Street family.
......
Four figures were sitting in the council chamber: Annan, Scarlet Princess, Williams and his father Alma.
Alma looked solemn: "Before we form an alliance, I want to confirm with you again that Miss Lina is really a bloodline of the Morel family?"
Annan did not dare to lie in front of the legend. Although Alma has not released the legendary momentum so far: "I'm not sure...but you must have the same blood flowing."
"I understand..."
Alma showed some smile,
Before forming an alliance, when talking about the internal situation of the two families, the topic inevitably turned up the rat-man war in the southern mountains. .
Alma said the battle was still at a stalemate. Night is the home of the vampires, who attack the rat tide from high altitudes, but during the day, the rat men will push back.
The several peaks in the south have turned into meat grinding grounds, being repeatedly sawed by vampires and ratmen. But the situation is not good for the vampires... because the main force of the Stun ratmen has not yet entered the mountains.
The ratmen who are fighting against the three major families are only one-third of the Stuen clan... although the three major families are not using their full strength.
Annan thoughtfully said: "The disadvantage of you is that you cannot consolidate the results during the day... Do you need help?"
"Do you have any ideas?"
Annan gently Nodding, he opened the portal to the camp.
Loxi, who was training soldiers, arrived and stared at the vampires on the other side of the portal, eager to try: "Are we going to go to war with the vampires?"
"Ahem, let me introduce to you. This is Alma, the legendary patriarch of the Morel family." Annan emphasized the word legend.
"Are we going to declare war on the legend!" Losey stared at Alma.
Damn it, who agreed to let this idiot be the commander of the army!
Alma was not angry, and said appreciatively: "Your soldiers are loyal to you."
"I would rather they were less loyal and more smart." Annan stared unkindly. With Losey, "The Morel family is our friend and may be our ally in the future."
"Uh...Okay, sir." Losey lowered his head when he realized that he was in trouble.
Alma said at this time: "No offense, but these soldiers are ordinary people... Can they really resist the rat people all over the mountains and plains?"
"If it is just a defensive battle, this is mine. What soldiers do best," Annan said confidently.
After careful consideration, Alma rejected Annan’s proposal. He believed that "Oralda had finally gained a status among humans, and he should not have allowed his soldiers to be annihilated in the Serens Mountains because of trivial vanity."
A kind-hearted person is simply not like a vampire.
This further strengthened Annan's idea: except for some unavoidable living habits and curses originating from blood, the same living environment will cause different races to have the same way of thinking.
