[Stepping into the courtyard, you immediately look at a colorful fruit vine in front of the courtyard. This is a rare ornamental crop and one of the few magical plants that can grow in the underground environment. 】

[Brand, who has white hair and beard, is wearing a simple robe, standing under the fruit vines with a cane. Hearing the movement behind him, Brand turns back to look at you, with a gentle look on his face. ]

["Duke Brand, I heard that you are looking for me?" You stepped forward and spoke.]

["Yes." Brand nodded, looked at you carefully with his old and cloudy eyes, and then said: "Should I call you Liston, or should I call you 'Ghost Captain'?"]

Mu Youyi frowned, but he didn't expect that the other party would reveal his identity at once, and judging from his tone, it seemed that he already knew his true identity.

Mu You didn't feel nervous because of this. Since the other party invited him over so politely to be alone, it was definitely not to embarrass him.

[“It doesn’t matter, it’s all the same.” You replied. 】

["Then I'd better call you Liston. It's easier to hear." Brand invited you to sit down at the stone table and smiled at you: "Don't be nervous. In fact, I knew you weren't the one during the clan meeting."

Liston. Liston was my most capable general at that time. I knew a lot about him. The reason Liston chose to sleep was because the curse was contrary to the curse, which caused him to enter the process of slow death. And he had swallowed

A 'sleeping' talent can slowly wash away all the talents and curses that have been swallowed up through long-term sleep. This was his only way to survive at the time, but this process took nearly ten thousand years, and now it has only been a thousand years, and it has not yet

It was so far away that when he woke up, so as soon as you showed up, I knew that you were definitely not him. The only possibility was that you were the fool who borrowed his body to resurrect his soul. Coupled with your remarks at the clan meeting later, your identity also changed.

It’s ready to come out.”]

["That's it." You nodded. The other party took the initiative to explain the reason why he saw through you, making you feel at ease. 】

["Actually, I have been paying attention to you in the past two days, and I have also been paying attention to the dynamics of the Fool's World. But now it seems that your situation is not good, and you are at a disadvantage in the competition in the City of Eternal Night, especially what happened just now

, it seems to have greatly increased the opponent's advantage. Is that so?" Brand looked at you and asked.]

Sure enough, the other party also has spies on Earth! He knows all the posts he just posted on the forum, which shows that the intelligence network is quite deep.

In this way, the old man had already known what Tai Di said at the previous clan meeting, and he might even join forces with the werewolves. This was one of his thoughts at the time, so he did not expose Tai Di, but instead used Tai Di to

The mouth of the flute expresses this idea.

Mu You breathed out and typed in the input box.

["It's just a superficial advantage." You replied.]

["What about actually?" Brand asked.]

["Actually, you have also seen that Bloody Dawn controls a city of werewolves, but there is nothing they can do against me. On the other hand, the opponent's trump card has been almost exposed, but my trump card has never been revealed."

You answer.]

[Brand pondered for a few seconds after hearing this, but did not ask about your trump card, but asked: "Then what do you think is the best choice for the vampires now?"]

["Obviously, cooperate with me to defeat the Bloody Dawn, I will take the city lord, and you will get a high-quality gathering place, mutual benefit." You answered. 】

["Oh? Why not cooperate with Bloody Dawn?" Brand looked at you with interest and added: "Don't say that the blood clan and the wolf clan are enemies. There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests.

.When we have reached our status, we must pay more attention to the essence when looking at problems. The current Wolf King is a werewolf on the surface, but in fact he is a fool. This is a very subtle identity. If he cooperates with the Bloody Dawn, he might be able to become a vampire.

An opportunity to eliminate hatred with the wolf clan."]

["Because you can't do it. If you could do it, you two would have already reached an agreement at the clan meeting." You replied. 】

["In fact, you have greatly underestimated your tribe's hatred for werewolves. The temptation at the tribe meeting proved that only the blood tribe is at the end of its rope, it is possible to attach itself to the wolf tribe. At other times, if there is still some choice, you

There is no basis for cooperation at all!”]

["It seems that you see it very clearly." Brand smiled bitterly. The test at the clan meeting made him understand that if he wanted to unite the wolf clan, he would definitely face huge opposition within the clan, which would directly lead to the split of the blood clan.

Maybe. Surrendering to werewolves is destined to be a desperate choice.】

["What about you?" Brand looked at you again: "What kind of capital do you have to ensure that our cooperation with you will be more beneficial than cooperation with Bloody Dawn?"]

["It's very simple. I already have a city in the sky, but Bloody Dawn doesn't have one. This is my biggest advantage." You answered. 】

The meaning of already owning a sky city means that regardless of the success or failure of the vampire's investment, they are guaranteed to get a sky city as a place of residence.

Although Dawn City is not as convenient as Eternal Night City for the Vampires, who have to hide from the sun for half of the day, it is at least a gathering place that can ensure the safety of the clan members.

This is a condition that Bloody Dawn can never provide. At the same time, it is also the most important thing for the leader of the Bloody Clan: supporting Bloody Dawn, if the battle for the city fails, the Bloody Clan will have nothing; supporting the Ghost Captain, no matter winning or losing, at least the Bloody Clan will have nothing.

There are still options for retreat.

[Your answer made Brand’s eyes light up and he nodded with satisfaction.]

["In that case, let's have a frank talk now." Brand invites you to discuss "deepening cooperation." Do you accept it? 】

"accept."

Mu You breathed out. The old man specifically asked him to come over despite knowing his identity. In fact, he was already ready to cooperate with him.

The reason why I said so much in the first place is that, to put it bluntly, I still feel unsure, and I just want him to help strengthen my confidence.

For the next two hours or so, Mu You and the old man discussed the details of the cooperation in detail.

The two of them went back and forth for a long time, and finally agreed on the specific cooperation content.

Brand can pay Mu You the three drops of ancestor blood in advance to help him increase his combat power, and at the same time give Mu You the power to mobilize vampires from various families. However, all withering orders need to be communicated to Brand in advance.

He personally issues orders.

On Muyou's side, he needs to ensure that after capturing Eternal Night City, a separate gathering place will be set aside for the vampires, and that the vampires will enjoy the same rights as the Fool residents in Eternal Night City.

At the same time, if the capture of the city fails, the vampires will move collectively to Dawn City, and other conditions will be the same as those in Eternal Night City.
