Chapter 757 Negotiation (2)
The call from the Eastern monk made the head of the Ganger family panic. It also made several earls at the Ganger 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 in their hearts. They 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, they unanimously decided to invite Bastian from the Setet tribe, Ryan from the Reifno tribe, and Ah. The three Counts John from the Micah tribe came to discuss important matters.
After sending a message to the three Counts, Arturo and others waited anxiously.
Bastian, Ryan, and John were drinking at the beer dinner. They received messages from Casio and Arturo. Count Touro asked them to immediately hold an emergency meeting and rush to the Gange manor to discuss the matter. After all, it is a major matter related to the survival of the blood clan. No matter how big your prejudices are against certain clans, you must temporarily put aside your personal opinions at this time. United for the sake of the future of the vampires.
The three counts, two old and one young, turned into bats and flew from Munich to Gange Manor in about fifty minutes. They landed on the lawn in the central courtyard of the castle built by the Gange tribe on the top of a hill. The old butler of the Ge clan 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 personally came out to welcome the count from the three blood clans and accompanied the guests to the private sitting 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. He is 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 an amiable look. He looks like an elderly gentleman.
The most senior count among vampires is rare... well-behaved. Bastian nodded kindly: "Sit down, children, Edela, tell me why you and the Tsimixi tribe are going. If you provoke an Eastern monk, you are going to provoke an Eastern girl."
Count Edela suddenly felt bad after being named. Why did Count Bastian grab him for questioning instead of asking the Ganger tribe?
"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 the tone of his words was calm: "As far as I know, it
's What agreement did you make with old Aubrey 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 Count Ada's failure in China. were caught, which caused a series of things to happen later. If you don't provoke the Eastern girl, then the Eastern girl will definitely not make magic potions for the vampires. Therefore, tracing the cause and effect of the incident, the Lesemba tribe and the Tsimixi tribe have no doubts about the Oriental girl. The girl came to Europe and led to the death of Count Ciro of the Bruch tribe. He must bear the main responsibility."
Bastian pointed out the key point to the point. No one from the other tribes said anything, and they were 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 he was particularly interested in traveling to China. I didn't encourage Count Ada to deal with the oriental girl. I didn't know that Count Ada would go to the Eastern monk's house to capture the oriental girl. Mr. Bastian, I never thought that Count Ada would be so... impulsive. I am innocent. ."
Edela felt very wronged. After all, Earl Ada was a vampire who had lived for hundreds of years. How could he be so stupid as to go to the Eastern monk family to catch the girl? Wouldn't that be a door-to-door delivery? Earl Ada would be unlucky, and everyone would be in trouble. It's none of his business because he's too stupid.
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 oriental 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 details and just put a hat on his head: "Besides, This time, it was you, the vampires of the Lesemba family, who provoked the oriental girl and summoned the vampires to reinforce the same clan. As a result, Count Ciro died unfortunately. This was the trouble caused by your family, and the Lesemba family cannot escape responsibility. Let’s ignore Tsimi today
. How do the Greek and Lesemba tribes take responsibility? Let's prepare first. When the Eastern monk family comes to the manor tomorrow, the Vampire tribe will negotiate with the Eastern girl to try to calm the girl's anger and prevent her from taking revenge on the Vampire tribe." "Just do as you say
. ." Counts Arturo and Philip unanimously agreed. Count Bastian is a scholar and a wise man, and he knows 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 Ganger family sent little vampires to scout outside the manor early, waiting for the Eastern monks. Before half past eight, the little vampires reported that the Eastern monks were coming. Count Casio, Count Bastian and others immediately took action. , be prepared to argue with the Eastern monks.
Count Bastian and others were not prepared to show up right away. 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 Xuanjiahua family was dispatched. Each of the Xuanshaohua family took six people, including fifteen girls, and took five taxis. The taxi drivers were also very responsible and took the guests to the castle on the hill. Then go down the mountain along the winding mountain road and 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 arch windows everywhere, which makes people feel like time travel back 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, elegant and chic, and the young guards were also very impressive. Classmate Le was still wearing casual clothes, carrying a bag that she always kept with her, 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 are very decent and can't find 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 will be many meetings. The kind of flying count, one, two, three... Counting silently, well, the one that chased her that day was also there, and the other four high-level vampires that ran to the forest that night and squatted in the forest for several days Also there.
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 budgeting 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 One of our friends is still a child. She is a little timid and shy. She doesn’t like to be too public and doesn’t 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 asked 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.
The young waiters made black tea to entertain the 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 stated his purpose straight to the point: "Your Excellency, Count Casio, we are here for the compensation in the agreement. Please give us the compensation. After we get the compensation, we have to catch a flight back to China. This time we are pressed for time. Come to the Earl's house again to visit and be a guest."
Something's wrong!
The Eastern monks never mentioned the girl being hunted by a vampire in the Alps, nor did they take the opportunity to make things difficult. Not only did Cassio not feel relaxed, but he was instantly very nervous. If the Eastern monks did not take the opportunity to blackmail, there was only one possibility: they were brewing a bigger conspiracy. Conspiracy, maybe after returning to the country, a monks meeting will be held, and then a large-scale attack on the vampire clan will be achieved, and greater benefits will be obtained by then.
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 fulfill my friendship as a 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 return home to celebrate the festival first and then come to Europe to visit our vampire friends. Please compensate the Count. I'll bring it to you for inspection. I think Mr. Earl won't be planning to regret it at the moment, 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. What the Eastern monk meant was that he would come to Europe to visit his vampire friends. Later, he reported to the vampire clan to settle accounts and asked them to prepare.
When he heard that the other party suspected that he had gone 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 someone to deliver the things, the
housekeeper took people to collect the compensation for the Eastern monks, and soon Bringing people back again, 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, sapphires, and ten emeralds each, two years old from the Zhao and Song Dynasties.
The gold is cast into gold bars, each weighing five kilograms, and is packed in stainless steel boxes. Forty kilograms are put into a small box, and then packed in beer paper boxes; diamonds are packed in several boxes, including white diamonds and blue diamonds; Sapphires are corundum gems 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 placed it on the floor. He pointed 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 at least 20 grams less." A good gold bar has a purity of 99%. The purity of this gold bar is only about 97%. The two gold roots are unqualified. Therefore, it proves that the Gange family is dishonest. Please ask the Gange family according to the agreement of ten times compensation. Ten more gold bars and one hundred catties.”
"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 fight until death." The young man of the Xuanhua family instantly became imposing
. The vampire stared at the Ganger family with a murderous look 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 tests and investigations and give you a satisfactory explanation."
When it was pointed out that there was something wrong with the gold bar, the young men of the Gange family also changed their minds. How could it be fake?
"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: "Lean, come with me to take a look. The others will wait here first."
Regarding Count Bastian's reaction, Arturo, Philip, Ares, Edela, Philippe and Earl John have no objections. Earl Ryan has the ability to predict things. Earl Bastian has a strong affinity for metals. He can identify the purity of gold bars. If he goes, 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.
