Chapter 287: Outliers who keep pace with the times

Views:

The Heather Anna family is one of the largest large families in the city. Although this is a new vampire group, under the wise leadership and diplomatic skills of its patriarch (Heather Anna claims to be), this vampire group It came from behind, and now it has become a big force second only to the Lucas family and the Bethemos family. They occupy a large piece of land on the east side of the shelter, and built their own stronghold here, and only those who are approved by them can approach this block.

Anyway, these were all said by the neurotic blood girl herself, so if she looks serious, she should take it as true.

Hao Ren and his party walked into the gorgeous big house under the leadership of Heather Anna, and unexpectedly found that the lights in the house were brilliant—there was a beautifully decorated long hall in front of them. Brightly lit, more than a dozen large long tables are neatly arranged on both sides of the hall. There are already hundreds of men and women waiting in the hall. They are wearing all kinds of costumes specially prepared for the banquet. The men are handsome and heroic, while the women are charming and charming. At a glance, they seem to be at the scene of the Oscar awards ceremony. Lily, who couldn't calm down, was shocked by the scene, opened her mouth and remained silent for a long time.

The people in this hall were obviously waiting for Heather Anna and the distinguished guests. The moment the door opened, they turned around neatly to pay attention to this side, and then pressed their right hands on the heart position to greet Heather. Anna bowed. Seeing this scene, Hao Ren couldn't help poking Vivian's back: "Your trumpet is much better than yours..."

Vivienne was confused: "Trumpet?"

Hao Ren: "Heather Anna."

An unnatural look crossed Vivienne's face: "She... will mess around. But what she's messing around here is really beyond my expectations. When I sent her here to let Hesperis take care of her, she She's still a little girl who doesn't understand anything, but every time I come here, I'm startled by the noise she makes."

At this time, Heatherana had already excitedly ran along the long hall to the end. Standing in front of the Y-shaped staircase extending like wings on the opposite side of the hall, he stretched out his hands and greeted loudly: "Listen! The real mistress of the family, Mrs. Vivienne, is here! Everyone can eat and drink as much as they want today! Except for fighting You can do anything outside! Oh la!"

Hao Ren slapped his forehead with a slap, "I'm really blind to the layout of the scene..."

All the vampires gathered in the hall were high-ranking vampires in the Heatherana family, but Hao Ren didn't know how they were divided internally, so he didn't go into it. There are more than one hundred "people" in the hall, as well as the elaborate layout here, all of which were prepared by Heatherana after she heard about Vivienne's arrival. She obviously knows the character of her "mother" very well, and knows that as long as the other party comes, even if she hides from her, she will come out to meet in the end. Hao Ren didn't know how long the men and women had been waiting here. Anyway, at this time, Heather Anna's call for dinner was to directly detonate the atmosphere of the scene, and saw the crowds of vampires in banquet costumes on the spot as if they had let go of the reins. rushed to the dinner table. If the atmosphere in this hall was somewhat like the Palace of Versailles a second ago, then this battle is almost like the canteen of Versailles. Hao Ren stood there in a daze, but he didn't realize it: He thought he finally saw a group of gentle, serious and rigid vampires just like the legends, but he didn't expect that the costumes of these people before the meal were all used for publicity. According to...

"Don't expect the people under Heather Anna to be well-educated," Vivienne felt a little heartbroken when she saw this scene. She was poor, but she was usually more or less polite, and she had a calm temperament with her, but she There was nothing he could do about Heather Anna who fell from him, "Maybe it has something to do with my bloodline... Although Heather Anna can transform descendants or servants like normal blood, people who have been transformed by her will have some personality traits." The problem seems to be influenced by her... "

Hao Ren let out a groan, and saw the scene of demons dancing in the hall, he knew it: Look, these are the exquisite funny people that Heatherana has carefully accumulated for more than a thousand years...

At this time, Hesianna ran back from the other side of the hall, grabbed Vivienne's hand and ran to the largest table: "Hurry up, hurry up, how about a taste of my chef's skills?" …Ah, I’m really starving to death, I didn’t eat much at noon today. I went to Lucas’s house for a long time, and they can’t even cook a normal meal, and I drank a lot of wine with type B blood.”

Lily also dragged Hao Ren along and ran forward: This girl doesn't have such complicated thoughts, the only thought in her mind now is that it's time to eat...

After Hao Ren was dragged to the dining table, he couldn't help but look at the food in front of him. After he knew that it was a blood party, he was mentally prepared to face a table of exotic meals. I was stunned: "You can also eat ordinary meals?"

"Absolutely, I can eat ordinary meals, but I don't care about being full, and I still have to rely on blood sucking to maintain my strength," Hessiana said and gave Vivien an admiring look. "I envy Lady Vivienne very much. She can live entirely on human food, but we still have to store blood in the blood bank. It's getting harder and harder to find food these days!"

As soon as Hao Ren heard this, he knew that the blood from Vivienne was at work again, but it was obvious that Vivienne's blood had lost a lot of its magic after being diluted and diluted by the second-hand dealer, Heatherana. Although the vampires of the Heatherana family can survive on ordinary food, only blood can keep them alive. He observed the movement in the hall with a complicated and delicate state of mind. Seeing the vampires at other tables eating enthusiastically, basically everyone was as happy as Heatherana, and the elegance and rigidity of the orthodox blood race disappeared from them. And on those long dining tables, in addition to normal food, there are indeed many glasses filled with red liquid—this is inevitable for an ordinary person with normal three views... well, basically normal three views It's a bit awkward. Hao Ren couldn't hold back in the end, and pointed to the cup in front of Heather Anna: "Is there blood in it?"

"Yes, you want to try? I can give you some for the sake of Lord Vivienne. Although I see you are upset, at least you are a guest now," Hesianna raised the glass and shook it, "I I heard that some human wizards also drink blood to pretend to be wolves with big tails."

Lily patted the table: "The tail is a kind of honor! Don't look down on the tail!"

"It's none of your business," Hao Ren pushed Lily back, and then looked at Heatherna awkwardly, "I heard that vampires raise humans in captivity, calling them blood slaves, collecting blood every day, just like raising cows—raising You don't want to kill, but you don't have any freedom. You blood are..."

"Miss Vivienne told you, right?" Heatherna cast a sidelong glance at Hao Ren, "I really don't know how you are doing, but Vivian-sama will get tired of being with you... Don't worry, it's too early It’s changed. I don’t know how many old antiques will keep blood slaves in captivity, but anyway, I have used a more advanced and civilized method. Our blood source is full of humanitarian glory, and it is obtained under the premise of fairness, justice and openness. …”

Nangong Wuyue frowned: "Just tell me where you came from."

Heather Anna turned her face away: "From the hospital's blood bank... and some of it was collected under contract. These days, it is no longer possible to 'hunt' like it was back then. It is very cruel to use violence to capture blood slaves and other barbaric methods. Easy to die."

Hao Ren: "... Well, the blood bank solution is relatively new but still acceptable, but what's the matter with signing the contract?"

Heather Anna laughed dryly: "You have to know that although humans and aliens in this world are generally enemies, in fact, there will be some guys with non-mainstream ideas in any race... such as pagans, cult groups, and worshiping Satan Teaching, vampire society, etc.—get it? These are the sources of all kinds of living materials for the aliens living in this shelter. We even have some industries outside, such as companies and mines, and they are all in charge of humans operation, but behind these seemingly normal companies may be a blood clan or even a demon boss. Otherwise, do you think such a large shelter has come to this day relying on its own money?"

Hao Ren imagined this scene for a moment: a listed company with a glamorous appearance and legal operation is doing serious business in broad daylight that no one will suspect, but at night the company building will be closed, and it is frequent on weekdays. The boss of the company on the local TV station led a group of employees to set up an altar and draw a magic circle in the office. While chanting incantations to worship vampires and demons, they lined up to draw blood, and then sent the company's financial statements and bags of The blood is sent to the ground... It's so touching to think about it.

If so...how many companies that die suddenly every year are at the hands of demon hunters

It seems that after so many years of evolution, the war between demon hunters and aliens is no longer limited to confrontation with swords and guns. Each of them has interpenetrated with the human society of this world. This war that has lasted for thousands of years has always been going on , and no one can tell what form it will eventually develop into.

At this moment, the only thing Hao Ren can sigh is one sentence:

These heterogeneous groups are also advancing with the times. (to be continued~^~)
