Chapter 1044 Old Debt
"We just came back from the Demon Hunter's base camp." Hao Ren saw that everyone on the scene was in a daze. He was worried that some people could not understand the meaning of this sentence, so he repeated it again seriously, "We know what happened over there. .”
While he was talking, he lightly touched Vivian's toes with his toes under the table. The two of them exchanged small movements with a unique tacit understanding, expressing their pleasure in cooperating.
From the beginning, they discussed what to do - taking into account the chaotic situation in the alien sanctuary, the reserve and bad temper of a lot of ancient families, the aliens' stubborn concept of hierarchy and seniority, and their reaction to "foreigners" under certain conditions. The result of the discussion between the two was that Vivian would forcefully suppress all the families, relying on her seniority and majesty to silence the entire audience. Then Hao Ren would explain everything and explain demon hunting from an "outsider" perspective. The internal situation of people and the truth about the "saint", thus completing his final work as a censor in this entire incident.
This way it will look better when writing a report for Raven 12345...
The bombshell news released by Hao Ren was indeed very effective. The scene was suddenly even quieter than after Vivian had used the silence spell. Several big family leaders looked at each other. At first, they suspected that they were hearing hallucinations. Later, They found that the ancients sitting in the corner drinking tea the whole time looked like they were taking it for granted, and then they realized: they are all true.
They realized that this matter might have been in operation as early as when the internal changes occurred in the witcher. The "younger generation" in the shelter (including aristocratic families like the Lucas family) were also in trouble in front of the ancient ones. Even though he is a junior) jumping up and down while the disputes continue, Vivian, the oldest vampire elder in the world, has led the team into the demon hunter's lair and figured out everything. Now this wise and powerful (at least it seems to be Such) elder returned safely, and she was probably watching the disputes among the forces in the shelter as if she were watching children fighting.
...In the eyes of this group of aliens, the person with the most presence in Hao Ren's team is obviously Vivian. After all, all their ancestors were afraid of being beaten...
"You went to the demon hunter's... lair?" Jean Lucas looked at Hao Ren as if he were looking at an alien creature. His eyes couldn't help but wander to Vivian, as if he wanted to escape from it. The latter received confirmation, "And they returned safely? Are they really all dead?"
"Don't look at me," Vivian immediately waved her hand impatiently. Just now she had reprimanded the junior in a majestic manner, but now her work had been done and she was too lazy to get involved in such things, so she raised her hand and pointed at Hao Ren. , "This is the boss. I just follow him and fight. He makes the decision on all major matters."
Vivian said this casually, but Hesana immediately jumped up: she suddenly parsed a lot of useless information from Vivian's three words "leader", and she felt a huge sense of crisis. A thought came to my mind: Mom is getting married!
It's a pity that such a serious occasion is destined not to give the naughty child a chance to jump around. Vivian has long been paying attention to Hesiana's movements. At this time, she saw the little bat spirit's face was excited. Although she didn't know what the naughty child was excited about, she still He took out a small bat and threw it over: Bang!
Hao Ren nodded to Jean Lucas: "We did go there, but we can't tell you the location of the base camp yet. In addition, the demon hunters did not disappear as you imagined - they encountered a huge There have been changes, but now that the storm has ended, stability has been restored within the Witcher."
As soon as Hao Ren finished speaking, there was a sudden intake of breath and commotion in the conference room, which was almost visible to the naked eye. A low atmosphere condensed in the room.
Hesperus sighed slightly when he saw this scene.
They still think about counterattacking the earth, thinking about rebuilding glory, and thinking about destroying human civilization... But in fact, they can't even get out of the shadow of the demon hunter. The experience of being hunted as prey for thousands of years has completely destroyed the inner foundation of these seemingly powerful races. The current excitement of the radicals is not so much driven by a sense of racial glory, but rather after the temporary disappearance of natural enemies. Just blind excitement.
Perhaps there is no need to worry about the radicals at all - they appear to be brave, but are actually fragile and not a threat at all.
Hao Ren also noticed the change in the atmosphere in the room. He deliberately waited before spreading his hands: "...but the hunting is over."
There was a crash, and Gene Lucas suddenly stood up: "The hunting is over? What does this mean?"
"What I'm about to say is one of the oldest secrets in the world," Hao Ren said seriously, scanning the scene with his gaze. "I will ensure that everything is true and reliable, and you must ensure that you judge rationally, objectively, and cautiously. Everything I heard.”
A tall werewolf with a majestic face stood up. Hao Ren still remembered that the werewolf's name was Hogwarf. The last time he came to Athens to investigate the "Shadow of Chaos" incident, the werewolf leader had left a message for him. I was very impressed. The main impression was that this old werewolf was blackmailed by Hesiana for tens of thousands of dollars because he broke a table...
"On the honor of a werewolf, and under the witness of Countess Red Moon, I swear that I will not act recklessly, and I will not leak information at will."
"Very good," Hao Ren nodded, stood up and pointed at Vivian and Lily, "Now they are the supreme leaders of the demon hunters. Of course, honorary."
The old werewolf had just stood up to express his attitude. He was about to sit down when Hao Ren was pushed under the table with just one word. When he fell, Hogwart broke the conference table in order to regain his balance. Come on next piece. Hesiana was furious when she saw this situation: "This table is also 60,000!"
Hao Ren remembered that the little bat spirit blackmailed the old werewolf like this last time...
"Actually, this is what happened..."
Hao Ren found that he had successfully mobilized everyone's attention, and then he slowly told what happened in Corpus.
Of course, he made a certain amount of reservations and considerations.
He talked about the civil war in Corpus, and how the witchers finally cracked the truth about their hunting instinct after the civil war. He explained why witchers desperately hunt down aliens - because they suffered from an ancient "evil". The control of "spirit" also explains why the hunting war ended suddenly - because this "evil spirit" has been permanently exiled and sealed. Finally, he mentioned Vivian's experience as the fourteenth saint, and the reincarnation of the first saint into a husky.
In some details, he deliberately described it concisely, and did not mention anything about the God-killing War at all. At the same time, he also did not mention the current strength of the demon hunters, the true situation of Corpus, and the aftermath of the Second Madness. the exact damage caused by the disaster.
He just wanted to explain the reasons for "the end of the hunt" and the possible future direction of the situation. He did not need to tell others all the details.
The demon hunters definitely don’t want their secrets to be exposed. What Hao Ren said was discussed with Hasselblad and several elders before leaving Corpus. The limitation of these information is: they It can explain the truth of the hunt, but it will not endanger the interests of the witcher group itself.
In fact, before this, Hao Ren had also considered whether it was necessary to tell the aliens these things - he didn't care, after all, he was just a neutral observer, and whether it was the truth about the demon hunters or the secrets of the aliens, it had nothing to do with him. However, for both parties involved, they have been closed off and opposed to each other for thousands of years. Suddenly, these layers of window paper were pierced, and the resulting turmoil was very complicated. But after some weighing and discussions with Hasselblad and others, Hao Ren decided to take on the responsibility of this "middleman" and make some things clear.
The origins of the war between demon hunters and aliens have long been shrouded in misunderstanding and mystery. If we want to end this chaos on Earth, unraveling this mystery is essential.
"The origin turned out to be just a magic sword..." The werewolf leader Hogwarf's face was covered with a haze. "Could it be said that these thousands of years of war have to be written off just because of a 'misunderstanding'?"
"Of course not," Hao Ren waved his hand, "I just explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly. As for how to judge, that is your own problem. It's just that you used to be confused and immersed in fighting, but now everyone knows why. Just got up."
"The feud has been forged, and it cannot be solved by a word of truth or a misunderstanding." Vivian also nodded lightly, "But I think that since you are the leaders of various ethnic groups, you should be smarter and have a longer-term vision. ——You know how to seek the best interests for your tribe. There is a saying that goes well, warriors are responsible for venting anger, leaders are responsible for making profits, and as for honor, it is best to write it in a book."
Vivian's words hit the mark, everyone present was smart, and there were many things that didn't need to be explained clearly.
Hao Ren waited for a few seconds, then stood up and clapped his hands: "And I hope everyone will always keep this in mind..."
As he spoke, he pointed at Vivian and Lily: "This... and this, legally speaking, they are the supreme leaders of the demon hunters today. Everyone, think about it, these are the leaders of vampires and werewolves. The Order of Demon Hunters!"
Hao Ren's last words were full of charm. He put his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly. The expression on his face was like a dean holding a pep rally for high school students. After he reminded him again, the family representatives at the scene looked at each other with distorted expressions, and finally burst out laughing uncontrollably.
Vivian clapped her hands at the right time to silence the noise: "Then these old accounts have been explained clearly, and then we should discuss how to proceed under the new situation."
The conference room was quiet, and the people around the round table had serious expressions.
(We have another alliance leader, thanks to the True Fallen Knight for his tycoon-level reward=.=)
