At dinner time, Jane took a basket of fruit and hid in the garden alone again.
He probably needs some time to calm down.
Avoid inadvertently exposing your weak side to the humans you hate.
"Is the child okay?" Lan asked with concern, looking at his back.
Sigourney remained calm: "It's okay." He smiled, "Xiao Jin is here."
Lan thought about Xiao Jin and nodded with relief. Even though the little hamster is now a dead spirit and no longer has the fluffy and warm body it once had, it is still a very healing little cutie. With it accompanying the moonlight elf, I hope the elf can get out of the siege in his heart soon.
Jane and Xiao Jin, who were mentioned by several people, were sitting under a flower stand with lush green vines.
Jane took a fruit from the basket and when she was about to put it to her mouth, she hesitated for a moment, moved her hand to the side, and placed it in front of Xiao Jin: "Do you want to eat it?"
Once again away from familiar people, Xiao Jin was taken to a remote place by Jane. He was frightened of being alone with a mouse, but he saw a bright and fragrant fruit being placed in front of him.
It sniffed with its small nose, and tilted its head hesitantly... This elf seemed...
Not what it seems?
It cautiously probed and said, "Too big."
The hand quickly lowered itself down, and selected a small one from the basket that was big enough for it to hold in its paw.
Xiao Jin hugged Guozi, his eyes sparkling...it seemed different!
It recalled what happened before and felt more confident.
It shrank back and asked timidly, "You touched me just now, didn't you?" As if it was afraid that Jian would deny it, it whispered, "When we were in the carriage."
Jane: “…Yeah.”
Xiao Jin moved his body and moved closer to his cheek: "Are you comforting me?" This time he was much more confident than the last time.
simple:"……"
Xiao Jin boldly rubbed against him: "Thank you."
Jane pursed her lips, picked up the big fruit that Xiao Jin had previously rejected, took a bite, and said nothing.
Xiao Jin lay on his face, stretched out his short little claws, and handed the small fruit he had just obtained to Jian's lips: "Here you go."
Feeling Jane's movements paused, it whispered shyly: "I'm a dead spirit, I can't eat these." It was just possessed by the devil and wanted to test Jane's attitude.
“…”
Jane opened her lips slightly and took the small fruit into her mouth.
Xiao Jin happily shrank back onto his shoulder, finally seeing the true nature of his boarder. His sense of security completely returned, and it felt like the huge rock pressing on his heart was gone all of a sudden, as if he had gone from standing on the edge of a cliff to standing on a lawn full of flowers.
So why would it be afraid of Jane? She's just a vegetarian elf.
It's not even afraid of the vampire Sigourney!
Meanwhile, at the other table, not long after Ash sat down, he was surprised to see a very familiar face walk into the dining room.
"Brent?!" He called out the other person's name.
The man had beige curly hair and a delicate face with playful freckles, looking like an outgoing and friendly boy next door. It was Brent Familio, and Ash had stayed in his wizard tower with Ivan and Yelena on his way from the Boulder Castle to the Brilliant King City.
Of course, Ash now knows from Uncle Meng that the Brent they saw at that time was just a disguise.
This young man was not a wizard apprentice affiliated with the Wizarding Association, but a high-ranking member of the Secret Alliance, a powerful black-robed wizard.
"Hi, Ash, long time no see." Brent came over with a smile and nodded to Meng, "Nice to see you again."
His attitude was very frank, which finally confirmed Meng's previous guess: "You deliberately revealed the news of the sacrificial ceremony to me, right?"
When Meng sneaked into the secret alliance to gather information, he overheard the sacrificial ceremony from a high-ranking official. This high-ranking official was the young man in front of him.
Brent nodded without denying, pulled out a chair and sat down at the dining table. "I originally planned to disrupt their ceremony myself, but later I found out that you had the same intention..." He glanced at Signe with a smile, "You have Scarlet Moon in your team, so it's more likely to succeed than if I go there myself."
So he quietly provided information and used Sigourney's hand to eliminate the mysterious organization.
After that, he politely greeted Signy: "Hello, Lord Scarlet Moon, I am Brent Familio, currently affiliated with the Camarilla, um, the moderate side."
The other party's attitude was friendly and sincere. Sigourney nodded gracefully and said, "Hello." Then, her eyes lightly fell on Yang Prince. Since someone from the Secret Alliance was here, shouldn't there be an explanation?
Yang, who was obsessed with gossip and had forgotten about Brant, said: "..."
He coughed awkwardly and said, "He has lived in the manor for a few days. I just didn't remember it."
As Yang narrated, the events of the past few days slowly unfolded before Ash and the others.
As mentioned earlier, the "sacrifices" came out of the abyss one after another. Most of them were magical creatures, and it was naturally not as easy for them to pass through the cracks in the abyss as it was for wizards.
Fortunately, the wizards who were in trouble with them had a very strong sense of brotherhood. They pretended to claim them as magical creatures they had contracted, and let them pass through the crack passage guarded by the army as their guards. After coming out, they separated.
But there are still some magical creatures who hate humans. Although they did not attack human wizards in the abyss due to Mr. Wandering Soul's words, they were unwilling to compromise. Even if they pretended to be wizards' guards, they firmly refused and would rather die than accept protection and kindness from humans.
These magical creatures had no way of sneaking through, so they could only unite and wait for the right opportunity to force their way into the passage.
The injuries were serious.
The result of being stubborn and uncompromising was that he was captured by the Wizarding Association again as soon as he got out of the abyss.
If it weren't for the preciousness of magical creatures, which made the guards subconsciously hold back, they would probably have lost a few more people.
But they were still lucky.
They met Yang's men who were arranged there to pick up Ash and his men.
Yang had his men rescue these magical creatures, and they are currently being placed inside the manor to recuperate.
As for Brent, he was encountered by Yang's men when they went to rescue magical creatures. He also planned to rescue those captured magical creatures, and ran into Yang's men head-on. They found that they had the same goal, so they went together.
As for why Yang wanted to save these magical creatures?
Yang said, "I was also sold out by a mysterious organization once, and ended up in the same situation as them, and we have the same enemies." He has a sweet and lovely face, and he smiles when talking about his hated enemies. "I don't have a good impression of the Camarilla, and I don't care about magical creatures that hate humans. But at least now that they are escaping from the mysterious organization, I won't take action against them."
"As for him..." Yang rolled his eyes as he looked at Brent's face, which was always smiling like his, and said, "It's quite troublesome to take care of those injured magical creatures, so we might as well throw them to him." That's why Brent stayed here.
Meng looked at Yang on the left and Brandt on the right, and always felt that there was some similarity between them.
At this moment, he was reminded by Yang's big eye roll, and then he realized that these two people were smiling almost all the time.
It’s just that one smiles like the younger brother next door, and the other smiles like the older brother next door.
They all laughed so hard that his back felt numb.
Can't afford to offend.
Sigourney and Ash’s attitudes towards the Camarilla are not extremely antagonistic, or rather... Sigourney is still a high-ranking member of the Camarilla!
Mr. Youhun's reputation in the Secret Alliance is much higher than that of the unknown Brant.
Unless they were members of the secret alliance like Quentin and Jane who rushed up and shouted for killing, they were almost too lazy to take action.
What's the point of capturing him?
Do you think you have too much money and want to hire a few more guards and servants?
Ash refused anyway.
He didn't even want Quentin and Jane.
So just like that, people from the Association, people from the Secret Alliance, humans and magical creatures, several guys with ambiguous and confusing identities, actually sat together and had dinner safely, and were even able to exchange a few words with each other, like friends who met by chance.
Of course, it was mainly Meng and Brant who were chatting.
For example, the information about the sacrificial ceremony conveyed by Brandt was biased. The ceremony was not for summoning, but for counter-summoning. Brandt sincerely said that he did not know the truth beforehand, and it should be that the mysterious organization deceived even the partners of the Secret Alliance.
At the end, when the maid came to collect the dishes, Brent smiled and told them why he wanted to deal with the mysterious organization.
He started with his family.
The Familio family is an ancient and famous family. In every generation, there appears a white-robed wizard who is second only to the throne.
However, as magic gradually declined, the family also encountered a bottleneck. After the death of the previous white-robed wizard, no new successor appeared in the family.
As a wizard family with a long history and profound heritage, the Familio family is eager to restore its former glory.
They read through ancient books and conducted repeated experiments, trying to find a way to break the family's predicament.
"You must have all heard about the big accident at Familio Manor." Brent said, "It is rumored that the Familio family had an accident during an experiment, which caused a huge explosion, resulting in the annihilation of all the Familio family members in the explosion?"
The only direct survivor of the huge accident that shocked Ilufu, Familio, laughed: "The truth is not so. The accident was not an accident, it was man-made."
He flicked his tongue and uttered a deeply buried secret: "I did it."
