Chapter 211: Dilemma and Big Party (3k)

Looking at the broken window and Grand Duke Akado who jumped down without any hesitation.

The newly appointed vampire guard looked at the old soldier who turned a blind eye and said,
"What should we do? Just now, the Grand Duke seemed to have jumped down?"

The old soldier, who was surprised but not surprised at all, took a look and said to the new recruit:

"Don't worry about it. The Grand Duke just couldn't stand the blow."

"But isn't that a big deal?"

"Ah, don't worry, it's just a jump from a height of ten thousand meters without any protection."

"But, but you seem to be getting more and more serious."

"It only sounds serious. Trust me, the Archduke will be fine! Ah, how long until our shift change?"

The recruit looked at the sun and said:
"Probably less than ten minutes. But we don't even need to report it?"

"Less than ten minutes? That's great. Let's go and have a drink after our shift. The goblin boys have developed a new liquor that I heard can simulate the taste of dragon horse blood. Awesome!"

At this moment, the recruit knew he had come to the right place.

What a great new job!
-
In the capital of Seven Hills, Lester was looking at this legendary creation from the dwarves in amazement.

Once upon a time, he always thought that the huge underground cave in the underground base where he was detained was already a great shock.

But in front of this real heroic capital, he was surprised to find that the underground cave was only the size of a bird's nest.

As for Duke Bathory's mobile fortress, he obviously had never seen it.

"I had only heard of this magnificent city before. Many people said it was very beautiful and majestic, but I didn't expect it to be so shocking."

Lester's heartfelt admiration also made Bahrain look happy:
"Although you are a vampire, you finally said a few decent words."

"I'll tell the other dwarves to try not to beat you."

Balin's words completely shocked Lester:

"What do you mean try not to hit me?!"

Moon held him down and said:
"Don't worry, dwarves are like this. They don't mean any harm, they are just simply upset with you. Even if you really get beaten, you can still ask them for help."

Looking at Moon who followed him into the palace after saying that, Lester's eyes were full of astonishment.

Don't you think this is wrong?!

In the room before the throne room.

Because the dwarves' friends had come, except for the elders who really could not come, the dwarves with the most say in the Seven Hills basically gathered here.

As the dwarf guards loudly announced Morn's arrival.

The dwarf elders all stood up enthusiastically and offered their welcome to their friends who had come from afar. They beat their chests and almost made Morn vomit blood.
Then all the dwarf elders looked at Lester who was obviously redundant.

Lester looked around and found that Moon, the only one who could still speak for him, was holding his chest and unable to speak.

So he immediately said:

"I'm going to leave right now! Please just pretend I don't exist!"

Having said that, he slipped away.

After Moen recovered, he continued to rub his chest and said:
"So, how much do you know about the vampires?"

The dwarf elder closest to Morn said directly:
"Almost all the vampires at the earl level and above are here. Even at this point, they still say that it is a free action and there is no other meaning."

"It's obvious that those guys are coming for the last seal!"

"A bunch of vile, dirty, disgusting things."

After the dwarves cursed for a while, an elder said to Morn:

"Friend, regarding this matter, we found out that the Bathory family was the leader. At least they contacted the rest of the vampires to come to the Seven Hills."

The Bathory family?
Among the eight dukes, they were originally at the bottom, but because of the purge he carried out that year, it was the Bathory family, which was a marginal character, that was best preserved.

It is thanks to this convenience that they have prospered to this day.

And the Bathory family is also related to Leicester.

"Friend, what is the situation with that vampire?"

Since Lester was not here, the dwarf elder asked directly.

Of course, if Lester were here, they would definitely ask directly, that's how dwarves are.

Moen said directly:

"He is a foreigner named Lestat, and he is also the last prince of the blood race. At least that's what he said."

"According to his intelligence, the second son of the Bathory family seems to be on our side, because he took the initiative to kill the rest of the royal bloodline and let him go as a stranger."

Upon hearing this, a dwarf elder said:
"As for this matter, we did receive news that the Bathory family is pursuing the defectors."

“They even asked us to help keep an eye out.”

"If both sides match, this should be it."

Moen nodded and said:

"That's true in theory, but I still don't trust the so-called second son."

"Why, friend?"

Morn looked at the dwarf elders in front of him and said:

"The hierarchy of the blood clan is very strict. It is difficult for a second son to accomplish these things. I suspect that this is a setup they staged themselves."

In response to Morn's words, the dwarves said puzzledly:
"But why would they do this? Judging from the current situation, their target must be the last seal of the Blood Moon."

"But I can't imagine what good it would do them."

"If you want us to believe in the second son of a vampire duke, what can he do even if he is brought into the Seven Hills after being exiled?" Moon also shook his head.

"I don't know either. There is still too little information. Have you found out anything about the Pure White Dynasty?"

In that false history, it was the White King himself who attacked the Seven Hills.

Everything has become completely irreversible.

Although great changes have taken place now, it is not the Crusade Army of the White King and the Pure White Dynasty that has arrived, but the many fortresses of the Blood Clan.

But Moon was still worried about new changes in the Pure White Dynasty.

In response to Morn's question, the dwarves asked each other for a long time before they said:

"Ever since you left, my friend, we have been keeping an eye on the Pure White Dynasty's movements."

"Unexpectedly, there was no response from the other side."

"At least we didn't find anything."

Moen raised his eyebrows and said:
"But this time, it must be related to them."

"Yes, but at the moment we have absolutely no idea where to start."

The vampires and the White Dynasty are both powerful forces, while the dwarves are on the decline.

Whether it's intelligence or anything else, the dwarves are at a huge disadvantage.

After rubbing his brows, Moen asked:
"What are your current plans?"

"There is no good solution. Although the dwarves in other regions have expressed their willingness to provide strong support, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."

"The only thing we can do is to be well prepared and try to attract other races to the Seven Hills as witnesses to prove that we have no moral problems."

Honestly speaking, whether or not one occupies the moral position has little impact, but the dwarves do not have any good solutions.

The opponent's target must be the seal of the blood moon, and the dwarf will not hand it over.

After thinking for a while, Moen said carefully:

"What if I told you that the well wasn't that important?"

"What do you mean, friend?"

"I mean, that well can be abandoned."

"no!"

The dwarves naturally refused. Morn wanted to explain, but before he could open his mouth, the dwarves interrupted him and said:

"Friend, we know that you know a lot, and we know that what you say is mostly true, but the first six of the seven seals have been found and destroyed."

"This shows that they must have some way to locate the seal, but under such circumstances, they still came to Qiqiu."

"I don't know exactly what this is all about, but I do know one thing, and that is that this will definitely truly protect the last seal."

"So even if it's just for this, we will spare no expense!"

At this point, the dwarf elder looked at Moen deeply and said:

"So, my friend, you shouldn't have come back."

Moon looked down at the medal pinned on his chest.

The dwarf's hammer and his crown still shine brightly.

"We are friends, so I have to come back!"

There was a burst of good-natured laughter in the hall.

It had been a long time since a long-legged person had been so appealing to them.

"Well, you're still the same. It's just that this time you're really difficult."

Regarding the dwarves' helplessness, Morn asked:
"How much support can the dwarves from other regions provide?"

"You should have seen a lot of soldiers dressed differently on the way here. Those can be said to be all the support."

"Although we now occupy one of the best mineral veins, our overall situation is still extremely declining. We can't even put together a corps as strong as we were in our peak period."

"Obviously the population isn't much different."

Technology, culture, wealth and population are all lagging behind in all aspects compared to the past.

Dwarves will never hide the predicament of their race from their true friends.

This is not about seeking help from the other party, but just that there is no need to hide things from friends.

Of course, dwarves would be angry if others talked about them.

But as they were talking, a dwarf elder said:
"But they also told us that Duke Bathory will hold a gathering among the vampires in two days."

"I heard that he will summon all the nobles of the blood clan to the Seven Hills. If you can sneak in, you will definitely get a lot of inside information."

"The only problem is that we really can't think of any good way to get in."

It's really a bit too much to ask a dwarf to disguise himself as a vampire.

There's no way two dwarves can sneak in together, right?
And Moon asked with a subtle look:

"Is this news confirmed?"

"We checked it out, and we're pretty sure it's true, but we can't get in!"

As they were talking, the dwarf elders who had reacted also looked at Moon.

"I can blend in!"

Since it is a gathering for the noble vampires, how could Moon not get in?

Is there any nobleman in the blood clan who is more pure than Morn? !
