Marquis Bach looked at his son Hodge with some expectation and curiosity.
He wondered what kind of deal Hodge would propose to deal with this crisis?
You must know that the vampires are not kind. In order to seize the golem, they even abandoned the underground blood bank and attacked the Cathedral of Senrichals, one of the five cathedrals, on Easter, the most important festival of the Holy Church.
This incident is enough to show the vampire's determination to seize the golem.
In this case, if Hodge wants to impress the vampires and make them give up taking away the devil, the price he has to pay is unimaginable.
In other words, it's almost impossible.
Even if Margrave Bach went to talk to him personally, there was nothing he could do.
The golem is one of the Thirteen Sacred Artifacts, and it is of great significance to the Vampire Clan.
This is something belonging to the vampire clan, and no one else has the right to keep it.
"Father, what the vampires want is nothing more than the right to use the golem, and what they are worried about is that we return the golem to the church."
"Once the church regains possession of the golem, it will inevitably seal it more tightly. The door of light in the Cathedral of Sengliars has been breached. Next time, the place where the golem is placed will most likely be the Kingdom of the True God.
"
"The Vampires definitely don't want this to happen. I think we can take advantage of this and discuss with the Vampires to return the demon dolls after some time. After all, based on the lifespan of the Vampires, our human beings' decades are just theirs.
It’s just time to sleep.”
Hotch said all his thoughts.
Marquis Bach nodded slightly and said: "What you said makes some sense, but it still doesn't impress the vampires. Yes, the vampires have been waiting for so many years, and if they wait for a few more decades, as long as they can ensure that the demon doll can return to the vampires, they may be able to accept it.
.”
"But we don't have the leverage to get them to agree to this."
"In other words, we don't have trading items that they can accept."
"The level of the golem is equivalent to a level 0 sealed object. The price required to rent a level 0 sealed object is unimaginable. Now, the only equivalent we can pay is..."
Having said this, Marquis Bach seemed to understand what Hodge meant, but he still shook his head.
"No, we can't exchange that thing. It's the ultimate treasure of the Dickens family."
Hearing this, Huo Qi showed a wry smile and said softly: "Father, I didn't say I wanted to trade the ancestral treasure..."
"The vampires won't be satisfied with anything else." Marquis Bach shook his head again, obviously not optimistic about the deal Hodge mentioned.
In fact, Hodge also knew that if he only had the status of the sole heir of Marquis Bach, he would not be qualified to negotiate a deal with the vampires.
Just as Marquis Bach said, their family had nothing that the vampires could appreciate in exchange.
If you want to borrow a level 0 sealed item, you must either pay a sufficient price or provide corresponding collateral.
And the [Book of the Omniscient] is the best collateral.
It is also a level 0 sealed object. Its power is not inferior to that of the devil. If it is given to a vampire, it can also be sealed by the vampire. The Marquis Bach and his family no longer have to worry about the danger caused by the Book of the Omniscient.
It can be said that it achieves multiple things with one stone.
But there is a problem here, that is, the Book of the Omniscient is an ancestral property of the Dickens family, and Marquis Bach is only in charge of it, as it involves an agreement made back then.
Hodge doesn't know what this agreement is?
But he was also unwilling to let his father, Marquis Bach, break the contract.
Moreover, Hodge had no intention of trading this sealed item from the beginning to the end.
Hotch thought of nothing but a white wolf.
"Father, this time the vampires are willing to give me time and agree to temporarily keep the demon dolls. They are not afraid that I will go back on my word and find the Holy Church because I borrowed the identity of the Death Clan, the Cappadocia Clan..."
Hodge first used spirituality to create a barrier to block everything around him, and then revealed part of the hidden truth.
"Death Clan?"
"I see."
Marquis Bach suddenly understood. No wonder the vampires had not come to him for so many days, as if they were not worried at all.
It turns out that Hodge borrowed the identity of the Death Clan, the Cappadocia Clan.
But why would they believe it?
"Hodge, what else are you hiding?" Marquis Bach keenly discovered the problem.
This time, Hodge told Marquis Bach all the details of the Blood Moon Party.
He has nothing to hide anymore and has nothing to hide.
Margrave Bach is his father, and he has always given Hodge a lot of help, and has given unconditional support to his choices and decisions.
If even his father couldn't be trusted in this world, Hodge didn't know who to trust.
There are too many secrets in Hodge.
Time travel, rebirth, mysterious space, thirteen doors, death retrospective, blood moon party...
Any one of them is enough to overwhelm a boy under the age of 18, and with Hodge carrying so many things, he has long wanted to talk to someone.
It's just that he has always had some scruples and worries. He is not sure whether telling his parents about these things is right or wrong.
So, he never said anything.
But today, Hotch felt that it was okay to talk about the Blood Moon Party, and there was no need to hide it.
"So that's it..."
Marquis Bach's face became extremely solemn. He did not expect that his son would actually become a member of the Vampire Clan's secret gathering, and he did not expect that it was his son who leaked the information about the Cathedral of Sengliars to the Vampire Clan.
Last time, he teased the cardinal and said that there was a traitor in the Holy Church, but it turned out that the traitor was his own son...
"So, at the first gathering, you got the revolver. At the second gathering, you got the cloak and two other magical items. They all believed that you were a member of the Death Clan.
Because you can control the blood cup..."
Hearing his father's words, Huo Qi honestly took out the magical items traded at the two blood moon gatherings from his arms.
Special revolver and gun——[Whispers of the Survivors].
Magic Card - Magic Throwing Knife.
A cloak that protects and enhances fire elemental magic - the Blazing Cloak.
Parchment scroll, black quill - the contract of the dead.
Marquis Bach looked at the dazzling array of magical items in front of Hodge, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly. His son was too bold and too crazy. At the gathering of the vampires, he brazenly deceived and took advantage of the intelligence to squeeze the benefits of the vampires again and again. It was simply crazy.
If you are not careful, once your true identity is discovered, Hodge will definitely be torn to pieces by the angry vampires if he takes the risk.
This is tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife, full of danger and madness.
And Hodge actually survived the two gatherings perfectly and extracted so many benefits.
It’s simply unimaginable!!!
"Can I not attend the Blood Moon Party?" Marquis Bach asked the most critical question.
Huo Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know. Anyway, I will automatically enter that space when I am sleeping. Moreover, I do not intend to give up this identity. We can completely use the power of the blood clan to accomplish many things."
"Father, if it weren't for this gathering of the vampires, we might not be able to find the truth of the matter, and we wouldn't be able to understand the real reason for the invasion of the Slothful High Priest."
"The blood moon party is helpful to our family."
"It also helped me a lot in my growth. I can't give up this identity."
"Moreover, if I don't go this full moon night, the God's Favored Ones will definitely go crazy. At that time, our family will be the first target. I must go, and I must go confidently and calmly.
, suppress their momentum."
"Only in this way can I take the initiative in the transaction and make them compromise."
"My current identity is not the heir of the Marquis of the Salom Empire, but a descendant of the Death Clan. There is probably more than one earthly angel standing behind me. Facing the God's Favored One and other members, I should not feel
Afraid, I should be the strong one."
Yes, Hodge's method is to lie.
Since they were so convinced of their identities, why didn't Hotch take advantage of it?
He is a descendant of the Death Clan!
Behind him stands the foundation of the Death Clan!
