Chapter 760 Negotiation (2
The call from the Eastern monk made the head of the Ganger family panic, and also made several earls at the Gange manor feel uneasy. Before the Blood Alliance meeting could be held, the Eastern girl took action first. What should I do?
Several earls were anxious, could no longer calm down, and were not in the mood to drink red wine. They gathered together to discuss how to deal with it.
After deliberation for a while, it was unanimously decided to invite three counts, Bastian of the Setet tribe, Ryan of the Reifno tribe, and John of the Amaka tribe, to discuss important matters.
After sending a communication to the three counts, Arturo and others waited anxiously.
Bastian, Ryan, and John were drinking at the beer dinner. They received a request from Count Cassio and Arturo to hold an emergency meeting immediately, and rushed to the Gange manor to discuss the matter.
After all, it is a major matter related to the survival of the Vampire Clan. No matter how big your prejudices are against certain tribes, you must temporarily put aside your personal opinions at this time and unite to think about the future of the Vampire Clan.
The three counts, two old and one young, turned into bats and flew from Munich to Ganger Manor. It took about fifty minutes and landed on the lawn in the central courtyard of the castle built by the Ganger tribe on the top of a hill.
The old housekeeper of the Gange tribe and his people had been waiting for a long time to greet the three counts and lead the guests to the living room.
On their way to the living room, Cassio also came out in person to welcome the count, who was from the same blood clan of the three clans, and accompanied the guests to the private drawing room for discussion.
Arturo and others were in the living room. When the master Casio brought the counts from the three clans over, each gentleman stood up and said hello to Bastian. Bastian is one of the two eldest counts in the blood clan. Older than Count Arturo, almost eight hundred years old.
Count Bastian is a scholar, a true scholar, with blond curly hair, fair skin, deep blue eyes, and always looks like an amiable elderly gentleman.
The most senior count among vampires is rare... well-behaved. Bastian nodded kindly: "Sit down, children, Edela, please tell me why you and the Tsimixi tribe want to provoke the Eastern monks. To provoke the oriental girl.”
Count Edela suddenly felt bad after being named. Why didn't Count Bastian ask about the Ganger tribe, but instead grabbed him for questioning?
"Sir Bastian, I don't quite understand what you mean." He didn't want to be the one taking the blame, so he politely expressed that he didn't want to answer.
Count Bastian, under the guidance of Count Casio, sat in the master's position in the living room and looked at Count Edela of the Lesemba tribe calmly. Even his tone of voice was calm:
"As far as I know, you and old Aubrey reached an agreement to secretly attack the Eastern girl. You yourself did not come forward. Instead, you encouraged Count Ada of the Gange family to go to China to test the Eastern girl and the Eastern monk family, which led to Eda's death. Earl Da was accidentally captured in China, which caused a series of events to happen.
If you don't provoke the oriental girls, then the oriental girls will definitely not make magic potions for vampires.
Therefore, tracing the cause and effect of the incident, the Lesemba tribe and the Tsimixi tribe should bear the main responsibility for the oriental girl coming to Europe and causing the death of Count Shiloh of the Bruch tribe. ”
Bastian pointed out the location of Guan Jian sharply, and none of the earls from other tribes said a word, as quiet as if they didn't exist.
They also wanted to blame the two vampire clans that caused the trouble, but because there was insufficient evidence, they had no choice but to not inquire about the causal relationship.
Earl Ryan and Earl John are sitting next to Count Bastian. They are both neutrals and do not participate in any alliance camp of the blood clan. They will only participate in the temporary alliance of the whole clan when it is related to the rise and fall of the entire blood clan. Big meeting.
The leader of the Tsimixi tribe, Count Aubrey, was still in Africa and could not return in time. There was no representative of the Tsimixi tribe, so he escaped the unfavorable situation of being the target of public criticism. Edela of the Lesemba tribe was unlucky and became a punching bag. .
Edela was very angry and aggrieved, and complained unwillingly: "Your Excellency Bastian, I have no agreement with old Aubrey. This has nothing to do with our clan. We are a distant relative of the Tsimixi clan." I asked the Tsimi tribe for help, saying that an oriental girl had killed several elders in their family, and I hoped to get help from the main tribe to kill the oriental girl for revenge. Old Aubrey was not in the family, and it was little Aubrey who asked me to help investigate the oriental girl.
I was busy and had no time to help with the investigation. Count Ada just happened to come to me. During the chat, I mentioned the incident about the Tsimixi tribe. Count Ada heard that the blood of oriental girls was very pure and was particularly interested in it, so he traveled to China.
I did not encourage Earl Ada to deal with the oriental girl. I did not know that Earl Ada would go to the oriental monk's house to capture the oriental girl.
Lord Bastian, I never thought Count Ada would be so... impulsive, I am innocent. ”
Edela felt very wronged. After all, Count Edda was a vampire who had lived for hundreds of years. How could he be so stupid that he went to the Eastern monk family to catch the girl? Isn't that a door-to-door delivery? Count Edda would be unlucky and it was all his fault. He's too stupid and it's none of his business.
Count Edela was shirking his responsibility. Cassio was so angry that his face turned black and he cursed Edda and his son bitterly. Those two idiots were used as a weapon, but he still couldn't go to Count Edela openly. The trouble is so annoying.
"It wasn't you who encouraged Count Ada to find the Eastern girl. It was you who revealed the news. You still have to bear part of the responsibility."
Count Bastian was not easy to deceive. He didn't go into the details and just slapped a hat on him: "Besides, this time, it was you, the vampire of the Lesenba family, who provoked the oriental girl and summoned the blood clan to reinforce the same clan, which led to the unfortunate death of Count Ciro. .
This is a trouble caused by your family, and the Lesenba clan cannot escape responsibility.
Regardless of how the Tsimixi and Lesemba tribes bear responsibility today, we should first prepare ourselves. When the Eastern monk family comes to the manor tomorrow, the Vampire Clan will negotiate with the Eastern girl to try to calm the girl's anger and prevent her from taking revenge on the Vampire Clan. ”
"Just do as you say."
Counts Arturo and Philip unanimously agreed that Count Bastian was a scholar and a wise man, and he knew better how to minimize losses.
Although Edela was uncomfortable, she could only obey the majority. Without excusing herself, she discussed with the counts to predict what the Eastern monks would do tomorrow, and what they should do to gain the greatest advantage for themselves.
In the evening, Bastian, Ryan, and Earl Yochao also stayed at the Gange manor, so that they could adapt accordingly when the Eastern monks came tomorrow.
When the vampires were having a meeting, Classmate Le and Young Master Xuan Shaohua drank tea leisurely, slept happily, had a comfortable sleep, got up early in the morning to have breakfast, and then took a taxi to the Gangge Village. manor.
The young people went looking for something to eat early in the morning. Duden Yanni hadn't gotten up yet, and the homeowner and his wife didn't get up until after seven o'clock. Then they happily went to the Oktoberfest and had fun with people from all over the world.
The Gange family had early sent little vampires to scout outside the manor, waiting for the Eastern monks.
Before half past eight, the little vampires reported that the Eastern monks were coming. Count Cassio, Count Bastian and others immediately took action and were ready to argue with the Eastern monks.
Count Bastian and others were not prepared to show up immediately. Count Casio entertained the Eastern monks first and wanted to wait until the Gang family's compensation to the Eastern monks was handed over before talking about anything else.
Not all the Xuanjia and Hua families were dispatched. Each of the Xuanshaohua family took six people, including the little girl, a total of fifteen people, and took five taxis.
The taxi drivers are also very responsible. They take the guests to the castle on the hilltop and then go down the mountain along the winding road to wait at the foot of the mountain.
Of course, the hill where the Gange family built the castle was not high, so it was more convenient to get there.
The housekeeper of the Gange family and his young clansmen greeted the Eastern monks in the square outside the castle gate. They did not dare to show any slightness, let alone show off, and respectfully invited the Eastern guests into the castle.
The house in the castle was restored and built according to the old style. It has a spire and a beautiful style. The interior of the castle is also in European style. There are round arches and round arched windows everywhere, which makes people feel like traveling back in time to the European Middle Ages. The time is long and the pace of life is slow and comfortable. .
Young Master Xuan Shaohua was very calm. Well, they had gained a lot of experience when they were teenagers. They had traveled to Europe and America, and had seen ancient buildings and people of different skin colors around the world, so they were not curious about everything they saw.
The two young men were in suits and leather shoes, and they were elegant and dashing. The young guards were also very impressive.
Classmate Le was still wearing casual clothes, carrying a bag that she never left without, and a bright smile on her round face.
The more beautiful the oriental girl's smile was, the more... the Gange family members were... afraid that she would be unhappy with the potion, so they led a group of guests to see the earl almost in fear.
The vampire's castle is very beautiful, and the reception staff is also very decent. There is no fault. Le Yun secretly scouts while walking, analyzing the smell in the air, and silently counting how many high-level vampires there are.
The vampires should have a party at a certain host's house. There are many flying counts, one, two, and three... Counting them silently, well, the one that chased her that day was also there, and ran into the forest that night. There were also four other high-level vampires who had been squatting in the woods for several days.
Hey, vampires like that, what do they want to do?
Are they preparing to attack in groups and silence her, or is it just a coincidence?
Le Yun secretly calculated what her chances of winning were in a fight, how many medicines she would have to throw away to maintain her invincible position, and how many medicines she would have to lose to suppress the vampire.
While she was secretly calculating the gains and losses, the Ganger family's butler invited the guests to a living room.
Casio and four young men were waiting for the guests in the hall. When they saw Mr. Xuan Shaohua, they politely welcomed the guests to the manor.
The vampires were very friendly. Hua Shaoxuanshao shook hands with the host with a smile. He deliberately did not introduce the little girl and followed the host's greeting to arrange the seats for the guests.
The Eastern monk did not introduce the girl to him. He was obviously digging a hole for himself and wanted to frame him. Casio asked gentlemanly: "Mr. Xuan, Mr. Hua, may I ask which family in the East this beautiful girl is from?"
"This is a friend of ours. She is still a child. She is a little timid and shy. She doesn't like to be too public and doesn't like to talk much.
She likes European architecture and comes to the manor to broaden her horizons. Please don’t mind Count Casio, Mr. Count, please-"
Mr. Xuan smiled lightly and invited the host to sit down with him, avoiding the important matter by not introducing the little beauty.
Casio wants to vomit blood, is the girl timid? How dare she go to the Alps to kill vampires?
The Eastern monk opened his eyes and told lies as if they were true. What could he do?
Silently, Casio swallowed a mouthful of old blood, and the gentleman sat down with the guest. In order to make the guests feel at home, the Gange family specially made the place where they receive guests similar to the reception room used by Eastern China to receive guests, with a coffee table in the middle of two tables. way arranged.
Young Master Xuan Shaohua asked the little girl to sit in the middle seat, and they protected her in the middle. The young people also sat down in the seats given to them one by one.
Young waiters made black tea to entertain guests.
The Gange family has good etiquette, and the young people are not polite and drink tea calmly. They dare to drink because the little girl is there. They are not afraid that the vampire family will secretly make tea or do tricks in the house. If the little girl is not with them, they will have to ask for it. Keep an eye out for vampires plotting against you.
Count Casio entertained the Eastern guests, and Count Bastian turned on the sound detector in another living room to listen to the sounds from various places in the castle.
They listened very carefully, no one spoke, and everyone was quiet.
Young people in the East who drink tea drink black tea very elegantly. European black tea and Asian black tea are different due to regional environment and other reasons, and the taste also has its own characteristics.
After drinking a few cups of black tea, Mr. Xuan expressed his intention straight to the point: "Your Excellency, Count Casio, we are here for the compensation in the agreement. Please, Your Excellency, hand over to us.
After we received the compensation, we still had to catch a flight back to China. This time we were pressed for time and we were visiting the Earl's house again. ”
Something's wrong!
The Eastern monk never mentioned the girl being hunted by a vampire in the mountains of the Alps, nor did he take the opportunity to make things difficult. Not only did Casio not feel relaxed, but he was instantly very nervous.
If the Eastern monks do not take the opportunity to blackmail, there is only one possibility: they are brewing a bigger conspiracy!
Maybe they are planning to hold a meeting of monks after returning home, and then launch a massive attack on the vampires, so that they can gain greater benefits.
Guessing the possible thoughts of the Eastern and Western monks, Casio dared not relax and pretended to be calm and enthusiastic to persuade him: “Mr. , let me show my kindness to the master.”
"I won't bother Count Casio this time. The count should also know that our country's Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. We have been delayed in Munich for several days. We must go back to our country for the festival first, and then come to Europe to visit our vampire friends after the festival.
Please ask the earl to bring the compensation to us for acceptance. I think Mr. earl will not be prepared to regret it temporarily, right? ”
The handsome young man said that he would come to Europe to visit his vampire friends after the festival. Casio's heart felt cold. The Eastern monk meant that he would settle accounts with the vampire clan after the festival and let them be prepared.
When I heard that the other party suspected that he was going back on his word, he immediately explained: "Ah, it's okay. I'll ask the child to deliver the things right away."
Without the earl summoning people to deliver things, the housekeeper took people to collect the compensation for the Eastern monks, and soon brought people back. The young vampires were holding paper packages containing beer.
The young men of the family brought the compensation items, placed them in a row in the living room, and opened the boxes.
Count Casio asked the guests to inspect the goods. Young Master Xuan Shaohua did not care about the compensation and asked the little beauty to inspect the goods. Classmate Le happily walked to the pile of compensation items to inspect his harvest on his short legs.
The Gange family's compensation included two hundred kilograms of gold, five kilograms of diamonds, ten pieces each of sapphires and emeralds, and two antiques from the Zhao and Song Dynasties.
The gold is cast into gold bars. Each bar weighs 5 kilograms and is packed in stainless steel boxes. Forty kilograms are put into a small box and then packed in beer cartons.
The diamonds are packed in several boxes, including white diamonds and blue diamonds.
Sapphires are corundum gemstones and emeralds are emeralds.
The diamonds and sapphires have not yet been cut, are irregularly shaped, and are of acceptable quality.
At a quick glance, Le Yun understood the various compensation data clearly. She took out the boxes of gold bars in a leisurely manner, held them one by one in her hands, weighed them, tested them once, took out two boxes and put them aside, and then added another Check and weigh one piece.
After checking the two boxes of gold bars, he picked out one in each row and put it on the floor, pointing it out to the host and Master Xuan Shaohua: "There is something wrong with these two gold bars. This one is not heavy enough. It is missing at least twenty grams. < br>
It is said that the purity of the gold bar is 99%, but the purity of this gold bar is only about 97%.
These two gold bars are unqualified, thus proving that the Gange family is dishonest. Please ask the Gange family for an additional ten gold bars and one hundred kilograms according to the ten-fold compensation agreement. ”
"Are you committing fraud?" Mr. Xuan looked at his master with sharp eyes: "Count Casio, I hope your explanation can convince us. Otherwise, our family will think that the Gange family despises us and will not stop until death."
The young man from the Xuanjiahua family suddenly became more energetic, staring at the vampires from the Gange family with murderous intent, and put on a fighting stance.
Casio's face changed color for a second, and he quickly explained: "Mr. Xuan, Mr. Hua, distinguished lady, this must be a misunderstanding. The Gange family abides by the agreement and has never thought of playing tricks on you gentlemen. Please give me a few minutes, I will go We will conduct inspections and investigations and give you a satisfactory explanation.”
When it was pointed out that there was something wrong with the gold bars, the young people of the Ganger family also became angry. How could it be false?
"Ah?" When Count Casio was shocked by the gold bars, Arturo and others who were collecting intelligence in the other living room were also shocked. The oriental girl could actually determine the purity and weight of the gold bars with her eyes?
Bastian stood up: "Ryan, come with me and take a look. The others will wait here first."
Arturo, Philip, Ares, Edela, Philippe and Count John had no objection to Count Bastian's reaction.
Count Ryan has the ability to predict things, and Count Bastian has a strong affinity for metals. He can identify the purity of gold bars. If he goes there, he can confirm whether the oriental girl is lying.
Earl Ryan looked at the sky, why are you arresting him again? He is a neutral person and has long avoided matters related to oriental girls. He does not want to be the main person in charge.
Count Bastian didn't care about Count Ryan's reluctance to show up. He grabbed the young count. He thought it was too slow to walk and flew out of the living room quickly to find Count Casio.
