Chapter 750: Chapter 383: Have you heard of the Ghost Captain_2

Mu You’s aim was still those three drops of blood to aid in the relocation of the Blood Clan.

Just as he was considering whether to negotiate directly with the vampires to have them move to Dawn City, a new message popped up.

[Bruh Clan’s Clan Leader, Vampire Earl Bruh Tedd suddenly stood up, elegantly bowed to the crowd, then turned towards Grand Duke Brand.]

["Duke, regarding the relocation of our clan, I have a proposal."]

[Brandt looked at him, signaling him to continue.]

["City of Eternal Night!" Tedd confidently said.]

[Tedd’s words caused some commotion in the room, and people whispered amongst themselves. The older vampires present had heard of the name ’City of Eternal Night’, it was one of the Fool’s Sky Cities.]

["You mean the Fool’s territory?" Brandt confirmed.]

["Yes. Legend says that the City of Eternal Night is enveloped by a special barrier, within which lies a city forever engulfed in darkness. What could be more suitable for us?" Tedd swept his gaze across the crowd and after attracting enough attention, he continued: "Also, I have some informants among the Fools. Based on the latest information, the Fools are about to manifest the City of Eternal Night, and the competition seems to take place in Dark City!"]

["Do you mean to suggest a cooperation with the Fools?" a Marquis asked, frowning.]

["Yes. Some of you might not know this, but there are also different factions among the Fools. Manifesting the Sky City requires a fierce internal competition to determine the City Lord. This process is where we can step in: if we support a certain faction of the Fools and help them secure the title of City Lord, in return, they would set aside a piece of territory in the City of Eternal Night for us to live in. This would be a mutually beneficial transaction!" ]

[Tedd looked at Brandt and continued: "To be honest, before the meeting started, I had preliminary negotiations with the most likely faction among the Fools to win the City of Eternal Night. They said they would send someone to negotiate with us. So, if the Duke doesn’t mind, I can invite the representative of this organization here now."]

[A Marquis stood up slamming the table: "Nonsense. This is a once-in-a-millennium Clan Meeting, how can we let outsiders intervene?"]

[There were also many other voices of skepticism among the clan members, questioning whether ’the Fools can be trusted?’ or whether ’serving the Fools would stain the dignity of the Blood Clan’.]

[Tedd, seeing the chaotic scene, had no choice but to speak out again: "Gentlemen, please be realistic. Put yourselves in our shoes, do we have any other options?"]

["Since the death of the Ancestor, the Blood Clan has lost its greatest backing. Overnight, the enemies and natural predators we offended in our prime came forth, and we were reduced to rats in a sewer, forced to live in the shadows. Over these last two thousand years, our numbers have decreased again and again at an accelerating rate. In the first millennium after the death of the Ancestor, our population decreased tenfold. In the following millennium, our population decreased twenty-five times from its original number! At this rate, the Blood Clan will have disappeared from the Star Spirit World even before the next millennium Clan Meeting."]

["It’s time to let go of our pride, step out of our glorious past, and find new friends and gathering places!"]

[Tedd’s impassioned speech left the vampires present silent, leading them to seriously consider their current circumstances.]

Mu You quietly watched the conversation unfold.

The words of this individual revealed that two millennia ago, when their Ancestor was still alive, the Blood Clan seemed to be a thriving and powerful race. But since the death of the Ancestor, they have continually declined.

However, from what they were saying, it seemed that these vampires are still unaware of the existence of the Great Cataclysm. They don’t have to wait for their natural extinction in the future. In a hundred years or so, once the Great Cataclysm happens, all races will be finished.

Putting aside the Great Cataclysm for now, what baffles Mu You at the moment was that this person named Tedd, surprisingly suggested the idea of cooperating with the Fools.

While this initially seemed like good news for Mu You, the latter part of their discussion seemed off. ’The most promising Fool faction fighting for the City of Eternal Night’, could this possibly be referring to Scarlet Dawn?

[After a moment of silence, Brandt spoke again: "We have no conflicts with the Fools, let’s meet them."]

["Yes!" Tedd was pleased with Brandt’s approval and took out a communication device without any hesitation, and sent out some commands.]

[...After a short while, two vampires escorted a blindfolded man into the hall. Only after entering did they remove the covering from his face.]

[Cold Night (20 Level not evolved): Strength 35, Agility 45, Intelligence 24, Constitution 42, HP 9200 ... Current Skin: Black Knight ...]

Mu You didn’t expect his stealthy operates to come in handy just now. They actually did bring a player along!

If everything goes as expected, this guy should be a member of Scarlet Dawn.

Indeed, the person introduced himself next.

[After recovering his sight, the newcomer scans the crowd before turning his gaze to Brandt at the head of the table and spoke: "Greetings to the Vampire Duke. My name is ’Cold Night’, one of the vice-presidents of Scarlet Dawn. I am here on behalf of our president to discuss the cooperation pertaining to the City of Eternal Night..."]
