The moment Hesiana's voice sounded, Vivian shivered, and then she was ready to disintegrate into a bat on the spot and find a corner to hide it. This had completely developed into a conditioned reflex. But fortunately, Hessiana finally remembered that this occasion seemed inappropriate.
Flying over to prpr, the naughty boy jumped up from the conference table and stood still in place. Then he greeted Hao Ren and the others in the normal way with a stiff expression.
Vivian breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Hesiana wouldn't suddenly pounce on her, hugging her and chewing her, and then she had time to look around at the dozen or so people in the meeting hall.
Everyone sitting next to the gorgeous wooden conference table had an unusual aura. More than a dozen people, men, women, old and young, were looking at Vivian and Hao Ren. Some of them were familiar faces.
In addition to Hesiana, there are also asylum family patriarchs like Jean Lucas, and the rest of them look very strange. Hao Ren guesses that they should be the ones from other asylums mentioned by Hesperus.
The big shots who came.
The large conference hall seemed too empty with only a dozen people sitting there, and these dozen people were obviously divided into several groups. They were scattered in twos and threes in all directions of the conference round table, keeping a distant distance from each other.
Distance. There is no doubt that this is because they are from different races. The furthest ones are undoubtedly vampires and werewolves, and the rest of them don't seem to get along well.
Having maintained a hostile relationship with aliens for tens of thousands of years, Hao Ren has completely adapted to it.
After looking around, Vivian found that she could only recognize less than half of the people, so she decisively gave up trying to recall the names of the remaining people in her mind. She led Hao Ren and Yzaks to mind their own business.
He found a few seats at the round table and sat down, without any embarrassment or formality of suddenly bursting into the venue: "Hello everyone, long time no see. Does anyone recognize me? I am Vivian Ancesta."
Vivian's attitude seemed calm and even a little strong. This was a trait she rarely showed at home, but Hao Ren was not surprised at all at this time: she always behaved like this when facing other aliens.
This is the aura that the oldest vampire has unconsciously when facing "juniors". If she doesn't appear stronger, she will be ostracized in a heterogeneous society that respects seniority and seniority.
As expected, no one in the venue showed any dissatisfaction with Vivian, and an elegant middle-aged man in a black suit across the round table stood up with a smile and bowed to Vivian in an elegant and respectful manner: "
Please forgive my slowness, Countess Ansesta, I was in shock just now and didn’t expect you to suddenly appear in this place. You have been silent in the world for more than a century.”
This middle-aged man's move seemed to have sent a signal. Immediately everyone around the round table stood up. Even though they came from different races and forces, and even came from the camp opposing vampires, these people still paid tribute to Vivian one after another.
Greetings. The vampires bowed respectfully, while the werewolves nodded slightly to give the lowest greetings. Even the family patriarchs who had been familiar with each other in the Athens Sanctuary also joined in the greetings at this time: the whole process was like a ritual.
So serious. Hao Ren even bowed slightly when he saw Hesperus, who came in last.
There was a clatter of chairs in the meeting hall, which startled Vivian, and even Hao Ren and Lily next to her were stunned. The husky girl stared at Vivian: "Wow, hello, bat.
Big face!"
"Okay, okay, what age is this? You still pay attention to this..." Vivian quickly waved her hand to let the group of people sit down, and looked curiously at the middle-aged man who stood up first, "Speaking of which
...Who are you?"
The middle-aged man was sitting back. After hearing Vivian's words, he almost missed his target and sat on the ground. He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment: "Ahem, Countess Ansesta is really fun.
Play...oh yes, I remembered it. You may have forgotten it."
The middle-aged man seemed to suddenly remember Vivian's memory problem. He straightened his clothes and introduced himself solemnly: "Wayne Walter, the vampire elder from the North American Sanctuary, my father was saved by you. I am here."
I had the honor to meet you several times when I was a child. You often interacted with our family at that time, but later the Walter family fell into decline and we rarely saw you after we moved to North America. After the family was revitalized, my father always wanted to
I have tried to contact you again, but I have never been able to do so.”
Hao Ren didn't understand the other words, but he only understood the words "frequent visits" and "family decline". He immediately looked at Vivian with a strange look in his eyes, thinking that the woman next to him was really a sinful woman.
ah……
Vivian was also a little embarrassed. She looked at several other suspected old acquaintances next to her who were also preparing to introduce themselves. She almost broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't know how many blood feuds it cost her. By the time the people in the circle finished introducing her,
It was estimated that he would have to bear hundreds of millions of foreign debts, so he quickly interrupted: "Ahem, please introduce yourself slowly. I may not be able to remember that I am here for that kind of shadow monster. It is said to be called the Shadow of Chaos?"
Hesperius added: "The Countess's sanctuary was also attacked by the Shadow of Chaos. Two people were attacked, but they have eliminated the thing on their own."
The family patriarchs and ancients at the scene immediately became commotion, and Hao Ren heard someone whispering to each other: "It is said that the countess is temporarily living in Asia, but I didn't expect that those monsters have leaked there. I'm afraid the spatial coordinates leaked by the seal are different from the real coordinates."
Same. I was in South America three days ago..."
Hao Ren coughed twice and interrupted the conversation of these people: "Ahem, what on earth is that kind of shadow?"
Some people at the scene seemed to have noticed Hao Ren's existence only at this time. When they saw Hao Ren for the first time, they probably thought he was the follower brought by Vivian, but they didn't expect that he actually took the initiative to ask questions. Jean?
When Lucas and several Sanctuary family patriarchs saw this, they briefly introduced Hao Ren's identity to the people around them. Then Wayne Walter stood up: "It seems that Countess Ansesta has forgotten the shadow."
Well, let me explain for you. Our family was somewhat of an ally of the Ancatero family hundreds of years ago.
"The Shadow of Chaos is a strange creature that appeared in ancient times, that is, in the early mythological era. In fact, there is debate about whether it is a living thing, but its way of moving is very similar to that of living things. As for the shape of this shadow, everyone
Everyone should already know: it lives in shadows, moves on the surface of objects, looks like a 'picture', does not need to eat or rest, and is extremely dangerous.
"Shadows of Chaos will attack supernatural races, including demon hunters, indiscriminately. They are good at lurking and their attacks are impossible to guard against. Their attacks are invisible and qualityless, and can use magic to destroy the tissues in the target's body and cause serious mental illness.
Trauma. This kind of shadow can hide in the shadows, and can also move quickly on the surface of various objects. It is almost impossible to destroy them with ordinary attacks.
"Currently the only effective way to fight against the Shadows of Chaos is to bind them with powerful shadow spells and banish them to the pure shadow space. In the pure shadow space, they will slowly merge into the space itself, and eventually they will be unable to reorganize.
It dissipates by itself. In addition, I heard that the demon hunter's holy flame can also fight against that kind of shadow, but there is no way to confirm it yet."
Wayne paused for a moment when he said this, leaving Vivian and the others time to ask questions and think. Hao Ren immediately seized the opportunity and asked: "You just said that the Shadow of Chaos will only attack supernatural races?"
"That's right," Wayne nodded slightly, "including the demon hunter and us."
The "we" he refers to here obviously refers to all alien species, including werewolves and vampires. Hao Ren was immediately extremely concerned about this information: "Humans will not be attacked?"
"I haven't heard of the Shadow of Chaos attacking humans yet."
Hao Ren was just about to say that he was a human but was also attacked. Then he thought about it and realized that he was now blessed with alien technology and divine magic. He was embarrassed to say that he was of human descent, so he swallowed his words.
He went back, but he was thinking quickly in his mind:
Only attack supernatural races? In other words, only attack those races that have traveled from the dream plane. Could it be that that "shadow" is also affected by innate hostility?
Vivian nodded to Wayne and motioned for him to continue.
"There is one more thing that needs to be explained about the power of the Shadow of Chaos: The most dangerous thing about those shadows is not their lethality, but their maddening ability. After being attacked by the Shadow of Chaos, your mind will be affected, and
Quickly descending into madness..." (To be continued)
