Vivian went straight to the point and said that she wanted to see the ruins. Zeon? Lucas was a little surprised. "You're also interested in this matter?"
"You mean the Day of Return?" Vivian raised her eyebrows. "I'm not interested in The Day of Return. I'm interested in the ruins itself. After all, I came from that era. Now I'm curious to know which old guy's grave you guys have dug up. Maybe I'll see something familiar."
Vivian was quite reliable when it came to business. She naturally could not mention the real reason why they were interested in the ruins, but she could find a lot of requests at any time. Zeon did not question Lucas's legitimate reason for opening the ruins. "Of course, you're an elder of the Blood Clan, the oldest one who has survived since the Mythological Era. No one is more qualified than you to enter the ruins. In fact, we've invited other qualified ancients, such as Hesperides, the legitimate heir of the Greek Peninsula, and Grandalr, the guardian from the Mythological Era, but they declined. I hope you can understand that it's not our lack of etiquette."
"Oh, that's not a big deal. Hesperides, that cunning old fox, is waiting for you to explore the way. Grandalr is only interested in keeping birds on his body," Vivian said as she pointed to Hao Ren and the rest. "What I want to say is, these people are going in too, and they're not Blood Clan members."
Sure enough, Zeon's expression became subtle as soon as he heard that. His previously easygoing look froze on his face.
"These people are your friends?" Zeon looked curiously at Wang Quan, who had the highest presence among them. Y'zaks? Daquan asked, "May I know what race these people are from?"
"Race doesn't matter, there are all kinds of them." Vivian grinned and glanced at Lily. The latter shivered in fear before she continued. "I'm just asking if you have any objections. Anyway, these people are very reliable. They're not interested in your power or treasures. Like me, they're just there to watch the show. "
Zeon's expression quickly turned serious. He sat up straight and said, "Sir, I hope you can understand that the discovery of the ruins this time is of great significance. It should first belong to its discoverer, the vampires. And even if we don't discuss the ownership issue, the current situation is too sensitive. We must ensure that before we excavate most of the value of the ruins, it is absolutely confidential. We must not let the demon hunters know … "
Vivian frowned. "Are you suspecting that my friend is of dubious origins? Even Hesperides didn't trouble you so much. "
Hao Ren looked at Lucas strangely. He felt that the other party's unwillingness to cooperate was a little baffling. Indeed, it was normal for an orthodox vampire to be averse to other races. However, now that an ultimate senior like Vivian had stepped forward to vouch for him, Zeon's attitude was a little questionable. His refusal had no grounds to stand on. However, Zeon's next words made Hao Ren realize something. "Sir, it's not that I doubt your foresight, but … it's mainly because you've always been a little unique. At such a sensitive time, I really don't dare to let anyone you brought into such an important place."
Hao Ren sighed. Vivian's weird style of getting along with everyone except the demon hunters was really well-known.
"This is a demon," Vivian awkwardly pointed at the circle of people around her. "This is a siren, this is the landlord, this is a husky, this is a fish on the table … When did Lil Pea come out?"
Hao Ren coughed dryly. "She came out a long time ago. But she seems to be a little shy. She was hiding in my sleeve just now."
Lil Pea timidly looked up at the circle of strangers. She raised her hand and quickly waved at the air before scurrying back to Hao Ren. But this time, she did not go back into the sleeve. Instead, she grabbed Hao Ren's collar and wiggled around, probably asking for a hug. The surrounding vampires were stunned to see the little creature that they had never seen before. But they were, after all, unusual creatures who had seen all kinds of strange phenomena. They were able to suppress their curiosity about Lil Pea. Only Hessiana stretched out her claws to scratch the little one's tail, but Vivian slapped her hand away. Zeon was stunned for a moment before he realized that Vivian's introduction was equivalent to saying nothing. "I can see that it's a fish, but what does landlord mean? What's a husky? "
For the first time in her life, Lily was glad that she was a husky. At least when she was surrounded by vampires, she could euphemistically say that she was actually a different species. But in the end, she could not fool them all. Vivian thought for a moment and told the truth. "Landlord is a human wizard, and the husky is a werewolf."
Zeon and the group of vampires behind him were shocked. One of them even pointed at Vivian and exclaimed, "Your Excellency, are you joking?!"
Vivian sighed. "There's no other way. She's indeed a werewolf, but she's very reliable."
"This has nothing to do with whether she's reliable or not!" Zeon waved his hand stubbornly. "How can we let werewolves touch the property of the Blood Clan? We found the ruins, there's no place for werewolves!"
When Lily heard this, no matter how timid she was before, she could not hold it in anymore. Her ears popped out and she slammed the table. "So what if she's a werewolf? Werewolves have more dignity than you! Braver than you! More united than you! Bigger than your tail! You don't even have a tail! You're just lucky to have found a place with good Feng Shui. Who says that it's yours? And look at the situation, you're still so stubborn. Even Hessiana's vampires are smarter than you! "
Hao Ren admired Lily's integrity, but he could not understand where the glory of having a big tail went...
The Lucas Family's vampires were agitated by Lily's sudden move. One of them, who was not very calm, even bared his fangs. Lily was not afraid at all. She stood behind Hao Ren and pushed him forward. "Wanna fight? I'm not afraid of you! Which one of you dares to stand up and fight us one-on-one? Just queue up, I'm not afraid of anyone. Right, Landlord? Right, big guy? Right, Vivian? Right, Lil Pea... "
Nangong Wuyue was unhappy that she was ranked behind Lil Pea in terms of combat ability, but she did not say a word. She did not know how to fight.
Vivian felt that if she did not say anything, today's meeting would be for naught. She stood up and said, "Quiet, everyone. Lily, you sit down too. You're the first werewolf to act so arrogantly in a room full of vampires. You're brave, okay? Zeon, let me ask you one thing: My face doesn't matter? "
Zeon was very stubborn, so stubborn that even a human like Hao Ren could not understand his thinking. "This is a matter of principle. I can allow werewolves to live in the same city, and that's my bottom line. But I can't let them come into contact with the ruins. You don't understand the ruins, please don't think that I'm blind and stubborn. The ruins are too special. It contains primordial power that has never been recorded in the Mythological Era. It could even be the 'ancient kingdom' in the prophecy of the Day of Return... In short, I can't accept a werewolf joining in. Senior Vivian, your way of doing things is too unique. I can't criticize a senior like you, but I hope you understand that your actions are not acceptable to everyone. "
"Let me say something." Hao Ren did not say a word. He could not help but ask, "Is the concept of race that important? The demon hunters have almost wiped out all the unusual creatures on Earth, and you guys want to bite each other until the end of the world? I think it's stupid. "
Y 'zaks crossed his arms and laughed. "If there's no other way, I'll tell him about the problem of world peace..."
Hao Ren broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly rebuked Y 'zaks' idea: he was a guest in the city, not a massacre.
At the mention of the demon hunters and the current situation, Zeon's expression seemed to soften a little, but he still shook his head. "You're right. So, as the owner of this city, I have accepted a small number of werewolf families in the city. But this does not mean that I can sacrifice the interests of the Blood Clan for them."
Vivian coughed twice to attract everyone's attention. "Ahem, ahem, let me remind you, Zeon. The ruins are not yours. In principle, it doesn't even belong to the Blood Clan."
Zeon and Hessiana were stunned.
"This is the Greek Peninsula, where Zeus and his family lived. The entrance to the ruins you found is in the Parthenon. Although the otherworldly dimension is not necessarily linked to the original landmark, it is most likely not too far off. So, I can now confirm that it is actually part of the Olympian Temple, right?"
Zeon's expression was not very natural. "… Yes. But we are not sure which temple it is. The things in the ruins are very distorted. "
"So, you took over someone's house, changed the lock, made two keys, and then stood at the door and announced that you are the owner of the house?" Vivian looked at Zeon and Lucas with a serious expression. "And you moved the things in the house while declaring that anyone who tried to enter the house was a thief. Haha, kid, where's your shame?"
