"We just came back from the demon hunters' base camp." Hao Ren saw that everyone was in a daze. He was worried that some of them did not understand what he meant, so he repeated it again. "We know what happened over there."
As he spoke, he gently nudged Vivian's toes under the table. The two exchanged small gestures tacitly to show that they were happy working together.
They had discussed what to do from the beginning. Considering the chaotic situation in the otherworldling sanctuary, the reserved and bad temper of the ancient families, the stubborn concept of seniority among the otherworldlings, and their attitude toward outsiders under certain conditions, the result of their discussion was: Vivian would suppress all the families and mute everyone with her seniority and majesty. Then, Hao Ren would explain everything from the perspective of an outsider to the demon hunters and the truth of the 'sage'. This would complete his job as an inspector.
This way, it would look better when he wrote the report to Raven 12345.
Hao Ren's bombshell was indeed effective. The scene was quieter than when Vivian muted everyone. The leaders of the major families looked at each other. At first, they thought that they were hallucinating. But when they saw the Ancients sitting in the corner drinking tea, they realized that it was all true.
They realized that this incident had already begun when the demon hunters first started to have internal strife. While the 'youngsters' in the sanctuary, including the Lucas family, were still considered juniors in front of the Ancients, the world's oldest Blood Clan elder, Vivian, had led her team into the demon hunters' lair and figured out everything. Now that this wise and powerful elder (at least on the surface) had returned safely, she looked at the conflict in the sanctuary as if she was watching a child fight.
In the eyes of these otherworldlings, the most important person in Hao Ren's team was obviously Vivian. After all, the ancestors of the Ancients were afraid of her.
"You guys went to the demon hunters' lair?" Zeon Lucas looked at Hao Ren as if he was looking at an alien. His eyes could not help but wander up and down on Vivian as if he wanted to get confirmation from her. "And returned safely? Are they really all dead? "
"Don't look at me." Vivian immediately waved her hand impatiently. She had just reprimanded the youngsters, but now that her job was done, she could not be bothered to get involved. She raised her hand and pointed at Hao Ren. "This is the boss. I just followed him to fight. He made all the decisions."
Vivian said it casually, but Hessiana was about to jump up. She had deciphered a lot of useless information from Vivian's words. A great sense of crisis came over her: Mother is going to get married!
Unfortunately, such a serious occasion was not going to give Hessiana a chance to jump up and down. Vivian had long noticed Hessiana's reaction. Although she did not know why Hessiana was so excited, she took out a small bat and threw it at Hessiana.
Hao Ren looked at Zeon Lucas. Lucas nodded. "We did go there, but we can't tell you the location of the base camp yet. Besides, the demon hunters did not disappear as you think. They encountered a huge incident, but now the storm is over, and the demon hunters have regained their stability. "
As soon as Hao Ren's voice trailed off, there was a sudden uproar in the conference room. The atmosphere in the room was almost visible to the naked eye.
Hesperides let out an almost imperceptible sigh when she saw this.
They still wanted to counterattack Earth, rebuild their glory, and destroy human civilization. But in fact, they could not even get out of the shadow of the demon hunters. The experience of being hunted down for thousands of years had completely destroyed the inner roots of these seemingly powerful races. Now, the excitement of the radicals was not so much driven by the pride of their race, but it was more like the blind excitement of the temporary disappearance of their natural enemy.
Perhaps there was no need to worry about the radicals at all. They looked brave, but in fact, they were fragile and not a threat at all.
Hao Ren also saw the change in the atmosphere in the room. He deliberately waited for a while before spreading out his hands. "But the hunt is over."
Zeon Lucas got to his feet. Lucas suddenly stood up. "The hunt is over? What does that mean? "
"What I'm about to tell you is one of the world's oldest secrets," Hao Ren said as he swept his eyes across the room. "I will ensure that everything is true and reliable, and you have to make sure that you judge everything you hear rationally, objectively, and cautiously."
A tall werewolf with a dignified face stood up. Hao Ren remembered that the werewolf's name was Hogwarf. The last time he came to Athens to investigate the Shade of Chaos incident, this werewolf leader had left a deep impression on him. The main impression was that this old werewolf had been blackmailed by Hessiana for breaking a table.
"I swear by the honor of the werewolf, and with the witness of the Countess of the Crimson Moon, that I will not act recklessly and will not leak the news."
"Very good." Hao Ren nodded, got up, and pointed to Vivian and Lily. "Now they are the supreme leaders of the demon hunters. Of course, in their honor. "
The old werewolf had just got up and was about to sit down when Hao Ren's words pushed him to the ground. Before he fell, Hogwarf broke a piece of the conference table to regain his balance. Hessiana was furious when she saw this. "This table is also 60,000!"
Hao Ren remembered that Little Bat had blackmailed the old werewolf in the same way.
"Actually, it's like this."
Hao Ren found that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention. He then slowly told them what happened in Coldpath.
Of course, he had a certain degree of reservation and deliberation.
He told them about the civil war in Coldpath and the truth that the demon hunters had finally cracked the killing instinct after the civil war. He explained why the demon hunters were desperately hunting the otherworldlings because they were under the control of an ancient evil spirit. He also explained why the Demon Hunting War suddenly ended because the evil spirit had been permanently banished and sealed. Finally, he mentioned Vivian's experience as the fourteenth sage and the reincarnation of the first sage as a husky.
He deliberately described some details in a concise manner, but he did not mention the deicidal war at all. He also did not mention the current strength of the demon hunters, the real situation in Coldpath, and the exact damage of the second Woe of Madness.
He just wanted to explain the reason for the end of the Demon Hunting War and the possible future direction of the situation. He did not need to tell them all the details.
The demon hunters certainly did not want their secrets to be exposed. What Hao Ren said was what he had discussed with Hasse and several elders before he left Coldpath. The limitation of this information was that it could explain the truth of the Demon Hunting War, but it would not jeopardize the interests of the demon hunters.
In fact, before this, Hao Ren had also considered whether it was necessary to tell these things to the otherworldlings. He did not care about it. After all, he was just a neutral observer. Whether it was the truth of the demon hunters or the secrets of the otherworldlings, it had nothing to do with him. But for the two parties involved, they had been closed off and opposed each other for thousands of years. Suddenly, these layers of window paper were broken, and the resulting turbulence would be very complicated. But after weighing the pros and cons and discussing with Hasse and others, Hao Ren decided to take on the role of a 'middleman' and clarify some things.
The root of the war between the demon hunters and the otherworldlings had long been shrouded in misunderstanding and fog. If they wanted to end the chaos on Earth, it was necessary to uncover this fog.
"The root of the war is actually a demonic sword." The werewolf leader Hogwarf's face was shrouded in a layer of haze. "Does this mean that the war of thousands of years is going to be written off because of a 'misunderstanding'?"
"Of course not." Hao Ren waved his hand. "I'm just clarifying the cause and effect of the matter. As for how you guys decide, that's up to you. It's just that you guys have been muddle-headed and immersed yourselves in the war. Now, everyone knows why you guys are fighting. "
"The feud is already set in stone. It can't be resolved with a simple truth or a misunderstanding." Vivian nodded gently. "But I think that as the leaders of the various races, you guys should be smarter and have a long-term vision. You guys know how to maximize the benefits of your own race. There's a saying that goes, the warriors are responsible for venting their anger, the leaders are responsible for making deals, and as for honor, it's best to write it down in a book. "
Vivian's words had hit the nail on the head. Everyone present was smart, and there were many things that did not need to be explained clearly.
Hao Ren waited for a few seconds, then stood up and clapped his hands. "And I hope that everyone will always keep one thing in mind."
As he spoke, he pointed at Vivian and Lily. "This … and this one, legally speaking, they are the supreme leaders of the demon hunters. Everyone, think about it. This is a demon hunter organization led by vampires and werewolves! "
Hao Ren's last sentence was long and lingering. He placed both hands on the table and leaned forward slightly. The expression on his face was like that of a dean who was giving a pep rally to his high school students. Under his reminder, the family representatives looked at each other with twisted expressions. Finally, they could not help but laugh in a low voice.
Vivian clapped her hands just in time to stop the noise. "So, these old scores have been cleared up. Next, we should discuss what to do in the new situation."
The meeting room was silent. Everyone around the round table looked serious.
(Another leader. Thanks to the tycoon of the real fallen knight for his tip =) =)
