C173 The Secret of the Strigoi (1/2)
After probing each other a few times, they were basically able to understand each other's thoughts. De Kala was the current Patriarch of the Van Zol's family, a duke who was second only to the prince amongst vampires, and the son of the Dark Council President was naturally in control of her own power. Everything she did was for the sake of his own family's growth, so this time, they wanted to see the strength of Ceng Yanyun's side.
On the other hand, since a subordinate of his was saved by him, Ceng Yanyun felt that he should thank him, regardless of what intentions the other party had in saving Fang Xing from the Church, the most important thing was that the Church had offended him this time, and dared to threaten his family. If he admitted it so silently, then he would not be able to lift his head up in the future.
Coincidentally, since his own power was not strong enough, and by understanding Ceng Yanyun's power, he knew that he would be the power controlling the Dark Council, coincidentally De Kala was the president's son. As long as he could get close to them, and use their power and influence, he believed that it would be difficult for the Church to dominate the west. It was hard to say who would win in the end, but he believed that he wouldn't lose out.
After that, De Kala invited Fang Xing up, and even had his strange elf daughter Ba Bi as a companion. Everyone happily ate a blood-colored dinner with Western characteristics.
It was an old bedroom, but not old. The entire room was luxuriously decorated with dazzling splendor. Every piece of furniture was of the highest quality, comfortable and elegant.
Ceng Yanyun quietly lied on the soft sofa, while drinking the long-cherished red wine of the Venture Family, and enjoying the two beautiful, delicate, and beautiful legs massage. He continued to tease Zhao Yaru while hugging him.
For a moment, the alcohol, beauties, Ceng Yanyun almost lost control of himself. Suddenly, light footsteps came from outside.
Ceng Yanyun opened his eyes and looked outside. Through the pink curtain of sand, he saw a familiar figure — — Duke De Kala.
Hugging Zhao Yaru, he whispered an order into her ear before waving her hand for two beautiful female vampires to bring their wives out for a walk. At the same time, she also comforted herself and waited for De Kala to arrive.
”Respected Mr. Zeng, I believe you know who we are. Although I don't feel that you are powerful, I know that you must have a strength that surpasses that of a duke, and I am very happy that you are able to come here personally as guests. What are your plans, Mr. Zeng?” De Kala said slowly as he very elegantly raised a glass of red wine and toasted Ceng Yanyun from afar.
”Hehe, I heard that you all are Strigoi, right? I never thought that the legendary Western Strigoi really exists, as far as I know, you guys probably have 13 clans!
What kind of identity does Mr. De Kala have in the Strigoi? I believe that you all have figured out my identity. That's right, on the surface, I am a merchant, so I believe that Strigoi should have some sort of identity on the surface too! Since I have come here for nothing, I am clear about your purpose, but of course, you have saved my subordinates, so I will give you some special benefits in some aspects, but, we all have a common enemy, the Holy See. Haha, Mr. De Kala might as well explain the situation between you two and your powers, so we can continue the conversation. ” Ceng Yanyun said slyly as he practiced his Taichi Fist.
Originally, as a Patriarch of a family, and most likely the next Clan Master, De Kala thought that dealing with a young man was not an easy task, and had negotiated with him over a thousand times. Although he heard from his subordinates that this young man was rather famous in the secular world, and had even made two astonishing speeches, but he was only around twenty years old, so no matter how high his cultivation was, he would not become powerful in the negotiations. At that time, even if were to lead him by the nose, he would know that he was wrong.
”Haha, Mr. Zeng is right, I am being rude, but in order to show my sincerity, I will show you the history and reality of our Strigoi. No one knows when our Strigoi began to appear, like the scriptures of the Holy See, most of it is fake, but of course, the history of our Strigoi is much longer than the ones written here.
According to the clan's records, our clan is currently the thirteenth generation of Strigoi, and has a history of over ten thousand years. Of course, I don't know why, since its inception, we have been fighting with the Church, and at the beginning, there was only one Strigoi, but after an unknown number of years, thirteen clans slowly split into thirteen clans.
”They were respectively … Later on, in order to resist the Holy War of the Church, we had no choice but to unite and form the Dark Council. However, at that time, just relying on the Strigoi was not enough to stop the Holy Church's advance. De Kala slowly recounted a secret history that was unknown to the world, which also explained the current situation of the Strigoi and the Church and the position of her own clan in the Dark Council. Of course, it also explained that the thirteen clans of the Strigoi were not at peace with each other, and that due to the Church's few holy wars over the years, the conflicts between the werewolf and the Dark Mages had started to stand out. Furthermore, their clan had already become a puppet in the Dark Council.
”Respected Mr. De Kala, if that's the case, then what is your purpose in joining forces with me? What good is it to us? What do I need to do? ” After listening to De Kala's explanation, Ceng Yanyun finally understood how powerful the Dark Council was in the west, and how terrifying the Church was, so he quickly asked.
”Pardon me, how is Mr. Zeng's current strength?” De Kala did not reply, and asked while smiling.
”Hehe, how is your strength? I believe that it will satisfy you. Of course, if Mr. De Kala wants to try, I am willing to accompany you! ”
”That's good, then that's good, let's go to the back to train, if not as the patriarch of a family, I have no idea, after all the cultivators in the east are different from us, I don't know what methods you use to keep your energy from leaking, if only our Strigoi had a way, other than Duke's and above, it would be hard to hide your own presence …” De Kala's eyes released a red light as he stared at Ceng Yanyun.
