Chapter 41: Centenary Conference

Views:

"Okay! Now let's go and sleep. But we haven't done the real thing yet. Let's start this centenary meeting now (what is called the centenary meeting? Sometimes it is also called the centenary meeting casually, because the vampire's life is too long, So those so-called regular meetings among humans were changed to once every hundred years.)!" The great elder hugged the girl tightly in his arms again, and pulled the cloak over her and covered her.

"First of all, we have to discuss the incident of the Demon Party killer." Elder Yuan expressed his opinion for the first time.

"Isn't that demon party dead now?" The kid felt that since everyone was dead, there was no need to waste time on this matter.

"Kid, that Devil's Party is not just a member of the Devil's Party, she represents the entire Devil's Party." Sinmo explained.

"Oh! But even if she represents the entire demon party, so what? Didn't she break the agreement first, come to our place, and kill so many of our members?" The kid said with some indignation.

"I think what the kid said is absolutely right. This time the fault lies with the devil's party. Even in terms of the number of people killed, we were more." Elder Colin is a kind of person who doesn't understand or care about the inside story of parties and politics, so It is conceivable that such a simple conclusion would be drawn.

"It's a pity that people won't come to discuss this with you!" Elder Hong, who had always been serious at the side, suddenly returned to normal and smiled.

"How dare they come to argue with us about this matter!" Flake said angrily.

"This is what we are worried about!" Elder Xu was still so serious, but now he was a little more worried.

"What's there to say about this? It's clearly their fault, but I don't believe they still dare to come." Flake has a very bad temper, and he is very straightforward when he speaks. This is his greatest advantage. It is also his biggest weakness. Maybe if he's not careful in the future, he might be killed by his own weakness.

"Lina, you have been in the territory of the Demon Party during this period. You are familiar with the situation of the Demon Party, so you should talk about it first!" Elder Xu suggested.

"Yes, Lina, what big moves has the Demon Party made during this period?" Elder Yuan also asked. To put it bluntly, Lina was the scout sent by Elder Yuan to the Demon Party this time. She was suddenly called back because of Xiaojie's matter. She wanted to ask her what the Demon Party was looking for.

"Yes!" After Lina agreed, she began to speak slowly, "This time Elder Yuan sent me to the territory of the Demon Party. In order to get information, I deliberately approached a young elder of the Demon Party (there are also three in the Demon Party Among the elders of the hierarchy, the top one is of course the Grand Elder, followed closely by the Deputy Elders, but the third-level elders are not called apprentice elders like the Camarilla, but are called junior elders.), judging from his complaint I heard that a woman named Xiaojie came to their place. She was not very old, but she was a bit terrifyingly strong. When she first came, she challenged the elder. Although the elder won in the end, she She is so powerful that apart from the great elder, there may not be anyone else in the demon party. So the great elder of the demon party made an agreement with her, as long as she can kill the person who created her or the ten secret party members. As an elder, she was asked to be the deputy elder, so the junior elders felt very uncomfortable. Why had they been junior elders for so many years and not yet been promoted to deputy elder, while a newcomer could be promoted to deputy elder immediately? What? For this reason, there is a rumor in the entire demon party that the Great Elder thinks so highly of her because she has an unusual relationship with the Great Elder."

"These young elders are really brainless. Do they think that killing ten secret party elders is so easy? It seems that Xiaojie will definitely become their deputy elder." Elder Chris found it very funny. .

"I thought it was ridiculous at first, but then after listening to his explanation, I realized that their idea was not bad at all." Lina sighed.

"What's his explanation?" the great elder suddenly asked.

"He said that their great elder told Xiaojie before she set off that in the entire Camarilla, only the great elder could defeat her alone. However, the great elder of the Camarilla is sleeping now, so it is impossible for her to encounter this It's dangerous. As for the deputy elders and trainee elders, as long as they are one-on-one, Xiaojie will never lose, so in the end he also asked Xiaojie to never break into the secret party headquarters alone. As long as Xiaojie abides by this rule, she will She will definitely be able to complete the mission and come back to be her deputy elder of the demon party. But I didn’t expect that she didn’t listen to their elder’s instructions and came to the headquarters to kill the elder alone. She really doesn’t know how high the sky is!” Lina finished describing the little elder’s explanation. , couldn’t help but sigh.

"That's because she has no time!" Sinmo interrupted.

"Why, I never heard that the great elder of the Demon Party gave her a time limit!" Lina asked in confusion.

"He didn't give her a time limit, but someone did." Sinmo said in a nonchalant way.

"Who, you are not talking about this little girl, no! She is the sister of the great elder!" Elder Hong suddenly pointed at the girl in the arms of the great elder and said, but as soon as his little girl spoke, he discovered that the great elder's The face was looking at him horribly, and he felt guilty and hurriedly changed his words.

"Elder Hong's guess is correct. Jing'er is right. Didn't Xiaojie admit it just now in the hall?" Sinmo looked at Elder Hong and asked with a smile.

"What did she admit to? Elder Sinmo was kidding me, right? Of course everyone was present. Elders, did any of you hear it?" Elder Hong didn't believe Sinmo's words at all and asked the other elders.

"I didn't hear it!" "Me neither." The elders expressed their opinions one by one. Maybe it's not that they deliberately went against sinmo, but maybe they just didn't pay attention.

"I think the elders didn't pay attention to what Xiaojie said." Sinmo felt the same way. Because Elder Hong doesn't get along with him, but the other elders generally have a good relationship with him, so there's no need to go against him like this!

"Then please ask Elder Sinmo to give you a hint!" Elder Yuan suggested first.

"When she begged Jing'er for mercy, she said this: 'I have never killed anyone since that day.' I think everyone can remember it now!" Sinmo said.

"I heard this too, but what's the point?" Elder Hong said dismissively.

"She said this because Jing'er gave her an order not to kill anyone casually. You can imagine that for a demon party, not killing people is equivalent to starving her. (Because in the demon party, she is not allowed to kill people.) There is a rule in the party that when you suck someone's blood, you have to suck it dry, that is, kill the food in your mouth.) It is estimated that it has been six or seven days since the day Jing'er's adoptive father was killed. , which means that Xiaojie has not sucked blood for nearly a week. If she does not complete the task while she still has the strength, she will not be able to deal with a single elder even if she encounters one. So. , she came to the secret party headquarters because she had no choice!" Sinmo explained in detail.

"As a result, I didn't abide by the rules of their great elder, so that I was reduced to ashes and dust." Lina sighed after Sinmo's words.

"Now is not the time to grieve for the enemy. We should first think about how we should deal with it if the demonic party comes to attack us!" Elder Xu said in fear, as if he thought the demonic party would definitely come.

"Elder Xu, listening to your words, it seems that the devil party will come?" Elder Hong said with a cold smile.

"Since the first thing that needs to be determined now is whether the Demon Party will come to investigate for Xiao Jie's death, then we, like the students at school, please raise your right hand if you agree with Elder Xu's point of view. "The great elder suddenly interrupted their conversation, raised his eyes that had been looking down at the girl in his hand, and suggested with a red light.

"Oh, there are quite a lot of people!" The great elder smiled and counted on his hands, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!"

"Great Elder, you must have counted wrong! There are only seven, so why did you count eight?" the kid asked simply.

"You are allowed to vote by a show of hands. Don't forget, I can also participate!" The elder looked at the kid and smiled.

"Great Elder, do you think so too?" Elder Fleck, who objected, asked in surprise.

"Speaking of the great elder of the Demon Party, I know her much better than you do. He is a person who pays most attention to ability. Under his men, ability means everything. This time he will only send one If someone comes to deal with our secret party, at least it can show that he values that person's ability. Regardless of whether he has a deeper relationship with that Xiaojie, but since he values Xiaojie's ability so much, what do you think? , if he were to know that Xiaojie died at the headquarters of the Camarilla, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he might have died under siege by all the elders of the Camarilla. Think about it, would he let the Camarilla go so easily? And when it comes to their relationship, it's very possible that this Xiaojie is the one he loves, and that would be an even bigger problem!" The Great Elder analyzed with glee, as if the matter had nothing to do with it.

"Great Elder, what should we do? Do our two parties really have to destroy the ancient agreement for this?" Lina asked worriedly.

"In this case, let's seal up Xiaojie's death or her death at the headquarters. As long as they don't hear the news, nothing will happen." Elder Chris suggested confidently.

"But can this kind of news really be blocked? It may have spread thousands of miles away by now. Even if the demon party's chief elder only sent Xiaojie to kill us, it is very likely that he sent many other people Come to inquire about the news and observe the situation." Sinmo objected.

"But besides this method, is there any better way?" Elder Yuan asked.

"Elder Yuan, since you didn't mention Luvian in this article, why did you invite her here?" The great elder suddenly interrupted.

"Invite Miss Luvian. Firstly, I want to ask her to help us deal with Xiaojie. Secondly, I want to... think..." Elder Yuan suddenly didn't know what to say, so he hesitated and squeaked. Don't get up.

"Since you dare not say it, let me say it! Secondly, if the devil party comes to visit, you can put all the responsibility on her and keep the entire secret party out of the matter, right?" Great Elder? interrupted him.

"That's what I thought at the beginning, but now Miss Luvian is your sister, the elder, so... So I think it's better not to do this!" Elder Yuan admitted.

"Why don't you do this? I think this is the best way." The great elder objected.

"But...but the demon party won't cause trouble for Jing'er like this!" Sinmo said worriedly. Now Jing'er is his most precious daughter. If something happens to her, he doesn't know if he can accept it calmly.

"Hmph!" The great elder smiled and said, "Sinmo, have you forgotten? Luvian is Xiaojie's 'father', and Xiaojie violated the rules her father gave her and killed her father's father. His father was originally Do you have the right to take back the life of your child, let alone such an unfilial child? Does the devil party have the right to care about this?"

"That's right, but I'm afraid that the Demonic Party won't reason with us!" This is what Sinmo is most worried about. If the Demonic Party were reasonable, this incident wouldn't have happened.

"As long as they can't use reason to launch a full-scale killing of Luvian, then we don't have to worry about anything. What can one or two little vampires do to Luvian? What's more, she is my sister now. Of course I don't want to see it. When she gets even a little bit hurt, I will do my best to protect her, so you don’t have to worry about this at all." The great elder comforted her.

"But when we say that Luvian killed Xiaojie, will the other party believe it, or are they willing to believe it?" Elder Xu analyzed calmly.

"We wait until people come to our door. Of course no one will believe it, but why don't we spread the real news about this matter immediately!" the elder pointed out.

"But will people believe it?" the kid asked doubtfully.

"Facts are facts. As long as there is no distortion, they will be extremely convincing." The great elder said deeply.

"Does the great elder want to spread all the facts about the whole matter?" Elder Yuan asked clearly. Don't screw up this huge thing because of your wrong understanding. This crime can be blamed on yourself. This old body can't afford it.

"No, it's just that Xiaojie was created by Luvian, but Xiaojie betrayed her creator, so she was killed, how she was killed, and everything that happened in the hall today, including of course that Luvian is my biological sister. As well as being the adopted daughter of Elder Sinmo, we must spread the most authentic information without adding any falsehoods; as for how Sinmo and Luvian knew each other, who her adoptive father was, how he died, and how Sinmo adopted Luvian, Luvian also has the human name Lin Jing, and what she has done as a human being, in short, everything about Luvian human beings, whether it is the ability to be a human or a ghost, or the appearance as a human being. There can't be any leaks, understand?" The great elder explained in detail, this is also so that Luvian's human life and identity can continue, and will not be ruined by this incident.

"Yes, I know! The Great Elder is really smart!" Elder Yuan agreed, not forgetting to praise the Great Elder's wisdom.

"Okay, now the problem is solved and the Centennial Meeting is over." The great elder announced.

"By the way, while the devil party hasn't come to your door yet, in addition to vigorously publicizing the facts, remember not to go out. I can't guarantee that there is only one Xiaojie. If something happens again, it won't be as coincidence as today. , Luvian happens to be here." Just when everyone was about to disperse and leave, the great elder suddenly suggested.

"Yes!" Everyone agreed and left the conference hall one by one. The elder picked up his sister in his arms and finally walked out of the conference hall with Sinmo. (To be continued)
