The Nine Suns of the Otherworld

Back at the apartment, a middle-aged vampire nobleman in a tuxedo was waiting. Ye Ling was not surprised to see him, because this vampire was one of the people Elizabeth sent to help him, the Marquis of Easton.

The Kura family has no talents, and the Marquis of Easton was also pulled up by Elizabeth. In fact, his influence in the Gothic Dynasty is very limited, but Easton is also good at communication, and he is also a member of the Kura family. It's not bad, this time Elizabeth asked him to come with Ye Ling to help with various relationships, because some things require the presence of someone with a title like him.

Of course, in the Dark Demon Empire, Ye Ling has the final say on what to do. Easton is also very self-aware about this. He knows that his title is close to the limit, and Ye Ling's The potential and future are unlimited. This demon is very important to the family, so even though he is a marquis, he still works hard to help.

Ever since the news of that important banquet came out, Ye Ling asked him to find a way to find a relationship, whether it was bribery or other means, to see if he could get that invitation letter. Asked: "Marquis Easton, how is it?"

Easton sighed: "I found several people in charge of the banquet, and one of them has a good relationship with our Grand Duke Elizabeth, but they were all rejected. The Dark Emperor attaches great importance to everything about the princess's selection of a son-in-law. , especially for such an important banquet, the number of invitations issued is very strict. Even among the top guests, not everyone can get the invitations. The official basic information is meticulously calculated, and finally only those identities Tall and unmarried young men are also the most qualified ones, I am afraid that no one can get an extra invitation letter by relying on personal relationships and bribery!"

"Is that so? It's a little troublesome..." Ye Ling lowered his head and pondered. After bribery failed, he could only think of other ways.

It's not okay to sneak into the banquet scene by fishing in troubled waters. There are too many masters in the Dark Demon Palace, so we can't take this risk. The right way is the right way.

After pondering for a while, Ye Ling raised his head and said, "Marquis Easton, can the invitation letter for this banquet be transferred?"

Easton nodded and said: "I've inquired about the tone, it's not a problem, but the number of invitations is quite limited, and they are only issued to unmarried young demons of the right age, and it is such an important banquet, the guests who get it They should cherish it very much, how could they be willing to transfer it to other people. What's more, this move is also disrespectful to the Dark Demon Empire, and everyone will handle it cautiously."

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can be transferred, there is no hope." Ye Ling narrowed his eyes, and his heart began to turn rapidly. As long as it involves interests, let alone an invitation letter, it is much more important than an invitation letter. Anything, the demons can give up, it depends on whether the gains or losses can impress them.

Thinking of this, Ye Ling said: "Marquis Easton, please check for me the list of guests who have received invitation letters, the sooner the better!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Dare not to neglect this devil who might affect the fate of his family, Easton quickly got the list and sent it to Ye Ling.

Browsing through the string of names on the list, Ye Ling's eyes lit up when he reached a certain place.

Hehe, God helped me, I didn't expect him to be invited too!

"Marquis Easton, help me meet Prince Jefferson!"

Half an hour later, a royal leisure club in the Dark Demon Palace.

During Princess Yeyue's selection of her son-in-law, this place is open to all guests free of charge. If anyone feels bored, they can come here for a meal, or sit down for a while and drink a cup of coffee or other drinks.

But there are not too many guests in the club at this time, because it is already "morning" at this time, and the Dark Demon Empire is shrouded in darkness 24 hours a day, but people's energy is not unlimited, and they need to rest. Among the two moons of this plane, the period when the dark moon falls and the dark moon rises is considered "daytime", which is also a normal rest time, and the active dark demons are greatly reduced.

And those guests from outside also went to do as the Romans did. In the early morning, the clubhouse was relatively deserted, only a few guests were sparse.

A guest with a pale face, who walked as if his feet were not touching the ground, appeared at the door of the clubhouse like a ghost.

If it were in the human world, many people would be terrified by his appearance, because this guy really looks like a ghost, but in the land of demons, it is not uncommon to see demons with even more horrible appearances, so this demon also It's not too strange, not to mention that the waiter at the door also recognized that this is a ghost among the demons, a middle-level demon, so the waiter opened the door for him, and bowed: "Welcome, noble ghost gentlemen."

You Mo nodded at him, entered the club, and immediately a second waiter greeted him: "Honorable Mr. You Mo, do you have a seat, do you need to arrange it for you?"

"Yes, I'm looking for a friend." You Mo turned his eyes around the clubhouse, and after seeing someone, he walked towards him, and finally stopped by a table: "Hehe, Earl Yi Lin, Nice to see you here!"

The person sitting at this table is naturally Ye Ling, and Youmo is one of the guests he met with and received the invitation letter.

Ghosts are not dark demons or vampires, which live in groups of races, but they are not solitary demons either. They are used to a certain number of groups, usually ranging from hundreds to thousands of people. Build your own power, and then absorb other races to do things for you.In addition, Youmo is a very shrewd businessman, and he likes to trade with certain powerful forces for profit.

The rich and generous demons like vampires, needless to say, are You Mo's favorite.

The royal ancestor of Prince Jefferson was very smart. He established his own kingdom not far from the Gothic Dynasty early, and then developed rapidly by virtue of trade with the Gothic Dynasty. Today it is already a medium-sized kingdom.

Most of the economy depends on the relationship of the Gothic Dynasty, so this ghost royal family often visits Twilight City. Ye Ling and Prince Jefferson met at a certain banquet.

Although Ye Ling was the earl, Jefferson knew that this demon was a popular person around Elizabeth, and he was very popular in the upper class of Twilight, so he didn't dare to neglect, and came over immediately after getting Easton's invitation up.

After seeing You Mo, Ye Ling also had a smile on his face: "Hehe, me too, Prince Jefferson, please sit down!"

After taking his seat, Jefferson ordered a cocktail and said to Ye Ling, "Earl Yi Lin, I really want to thank Grand Duke Elizabeth and you for your help with what happened last time."

Youmo is not the only smart person who knows how to do business with vampires. In a project that is very important to Youmo, accounting for about one-sixth of their income source, Youmo's rival happens to be Brad The faction supported by the Grand Duke, and that faction is also a die-hard loyalist of Grand Duke Brad, while Elizabeth secretly supported Youmo, so she helped Youmo fight for a share of the pie, and Ye Ling also used her relationship to pull He met some nobles he knew, so Jefferson was very grateful to him.

Ye Ling said modestly: "Where is it, I am a soft-spoken person, and I can't help too much. The main reason is that Grand Duke Elizabeth thinks you are reliable partners. We are happy to cooperate."

"Yes, yes, Grand Duke Elizabeth looks so good, I hope our future cooperation will be more pleasant!" Speaking of which, Prince Jefferson raised his glass and said: "Earl Yilin, cheers!"

"cheers!"

After drinking, Jefferson tentatively said: "Earl Yilin, you came to the Dark Demon Empire this time because of Princess Yeyue, right?"

Ye Ling raised his shoulders and said, "Who isn't? Anyway, I'm still single, so Grand Duke Elizabeth asked me to try my luck."

"Earl Yi Lin, you are too humble. Young and promising young nobles like you are very rare. There is a great opportunity."

Of course, Jefferson's words were somewhat flattering. Ye Ling's abilities and talents are indeed amazing. He won the favor of a grand duke as a devil, and he was able to do well in the high society of Twilight by virtue of his status as an earl. It's not as simple as talking and communicating. The time when he took office in Auer Town is the best proof.

In the past few years, maybe he is really qualified to be favored by Princess Yeyue, but now, the status of the earl is still a little bit lower, and it may be difficult to stand out from the countless rivals and win the beauty back. Beat the sky.

Ye Ling seemed to be very self-aware, and said with a chuckle: "Prince Jefferson, you are too much, forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about business."

"Business?" Jefferson was a little strange. During the time when the princess was choosing a son-in-law, wasn't the most important thing to do was how to get Princess Yeyue's favor?

"It's like this," Ye Ling said slowly, "About the last project, our Grand Duke Elizabeth thinks that we should be able to win more shares for you."

"What?" Jefferson said joyfully, "Is it really possible?"

Ever since Grand Duke Brad found someone to assassinate Ye Ling and those little nobles in Auer Town, but his son, Duke Bugat, was planted, the reputation of him and the Vich family have been affected a lot, and many big The nobles were all grateful to Ye Ling, who got rid of the assassin and saved the newcomer to his family from being killed in that turmoil, and the relationship with Elizabeth was further improved, which made the influence of the Grand Duchess rapidly increase. Hot can't be overstated.

Of course, her ghost kingdom is just a not too important part of her social circle. Last time Elizabeth also helped, and Jefferson didn't dare to ask for more with the cheek.

Now, Earl Yi Lin, who represents Grand Duke Elizabeth, took the initiative to bring it up, how could he not be overjoyed.

Ye Ling smiled and said: "Hehe, of course, Grand Duke Elizabeth is considering the operation of this matter. If it really happens, I will do my best. It is said that Grand Duke Xi Mai has a lot of knowledge in this project. power, and I happen to have a good relationship with him."

Grand Duke Ximai is the most difficult and old-fashioned among the grand dukes in Twilight. He has many taboos, but very few people can get his approval. Jefferson has been to Twilight many times Grand Duke Mai has an important right to speak in that project, and after bumping into a wall once, he retreated. However, at a certain dinner party, he saw with his own eyes that old guy who didn't sell anyone. Ling's attitude is very different.

If Elizabeth is really interested, and Yi Lin said a few words to himself in front of Grand Duke Ximai, the possibility of winning more shares for that project will be greatly increased again.

Now Jefferson was even more grateful, and he couldn't bear to hug Ye Ling's thigh and kiss a few times: "Earl Yi Lin, thank you for your kindness, everything you have done for our kingdom, I and the entire royal family will never forget of!"

"Don't thank me in a hurry. After all, Grand Duke Elizabeth's idea is only in the consideration stage, and it is still uncertain whether it will be implemented in the end!" Ye Ling suddenly broke away when he said this: "Oh, yes, Prince Jefferson, I heard that there is an important banquet tonight."

Ye Ling's topic spanned too much. It suddenly turned from the project to the banquet. Jefferson couldn't react at once, and he was stunned for a while before saying: "Yes."

Ye Ling asked again: "Then, Prince Jefferson, have you received the invitation letter?"

Jefferson nodded and said, "Well, thanks to the Dark Demon Empire, I also got an invitation letter."

Although the Youmo Kingdom is only a medium-sized kingdom, he is a prince after all, so he was also invited.

Ye Ling sighed: "I really envy you, Prince Jefferson, I really want to attend this banquet, but unfortunately, I didn't receive this invitation letter."

His tone was very meaningful. The shrewd Youmo was very good at trying to figure out other people's minds. As a prince, Jefferson, who was well-versed in all aspects, was naturally the best among them, and he quickly thought about it.

The other party suddenly brought up this topic, probably not by accident.

If he wanted to discuss the project with himself, why should he wait until the princess's son-in-law is over, and it is still "daytime", and he hurriedly asked himself out when it was not a regular activity time. illustrates the problem.

The matter of that project is not a serious matter, it is all foreshadowing the next sentence, Yi Linzhi is in Princess Yeyue, this is the serious matter!

His expression changed for a while, and he seemed to have made a decision. Jefferson said, "Earl Yilin, I'm really sorry that I couldn't go to Twilight City to attend your earl promotion ceremony due to my busy schedule. However, now, I would like to add a small gift."

"Gift?" Ye Ling waved his hand and said, "Prince Jefferson, you are too polite. In my friendship with you, there is no need to be so extravagant!"

"No, you should, you should," Jefferson said with a smile: "Earl Yilin, you must accept this gift, and, I can assure you, you will like it!"

After speaking, Jefferson took out something and pushed it in front of Ye Ling. It was like a postcard.

Ye Ling had already expected it, but still feigned surprise and said, "Prince Jefferson, this is..."

Jefferson said: "The invitation letter for the banquet tonight, Earl Yilin, don't you really want to attend, with this invitation letter, you can enter the venue."

Ye Ling said in embarrassment: "How embarrassing, Prince Jefferson, this invitation letter is also very important to you."

Of course, Jefferson also wanted to go to that banquet, but he knew very well that with his own ability and background, the chances of defeating so many strong opponents and gaining the favor of Princess Yeyue were one in a thousand, no, even ten thousand. One-fifth away.

Instead of fighting for an opportunity with little possibility, it is better to seize an opportunity with greater possibility and more reality.

Ye Ling mentioned earlier that Elizabeth was considering the share of that project. If she didn't submit this invitation letter, the Grand Duchess probably wouldn't consider it.

Weighing the pros and cons, Jefferson finally chose the latter wisely.

Of course, this kind of transaction requires the art of language, so Jefferson coughed dryly: "Earl Yilin, you are welcome. In fact, since I came to Dark City, I have been a little bit uncomfortable. I have been having stomach problems these days. If you suddenly feel uncomfortable at the banquet tonight and leave early, it would be too rude. Of course, it would be even more rude if you miss the appointment. Therefore, Earl Yilin, you can replace me at the banquet, and it is too late for me to thank you Well, don't give up."

Of course, Jefferson didn't have a stomachache at all, and he was in a good state of mind, which is an excuse.

If he claimed to be unwell, it would be more legitimate to transfer this invitation letter to someone else, and the Dark Demon Empire had nothing to say.

This shrewd ghost is planning to be a good person to the end, and continued: "I don't know how long it will take for my stomach trouble to get better. If there are any invitations to important banquets in the future, I may have to trouble you, Earl Yi Lin."

For some relatively less important banquets, the other party can naturally get the invitation letter. At this time, there is no need to transfer it by yourself. After all, it is not good not to go to the banquet every time.

"It's easy to say, easy to say," Ye Ling didn't give in anymore, and put away the invitation letter: "Prince Jefferson, you are really a warm-hearted friend, and I think the future cooperation with the Gothic Dynasty will definitely be more pleasant." .”

This time he took the initiative to raise his glass: "Come, let's toast the Gothic Dynasty, the Youmo Kingdom, and our friendship!"

"cheers!"

After putting down the cup, Ye Ling showed an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

Now that the invitation letter has been obtained, tonight, I can finally see her again!
