Ling and Ella looked at each other, put down their plates and walked out of the breakfast room.

On the courtyard in front of the castle, the well-trimmed plants fell to the ground in disorder, and the fallen leaves all over the ground seemed to have just withstood a storm.

A huge monster is lying in the middle of the road. It looks like a lion with its back and wings, but the front part of the mane-covered beast's head is indeed the hard beak of a bird.

The wingspan of the beast was almost over ten meters, and the storm it set off turned the originally beautiful courtyard into a mess.

"Griffin?"

Ayla subconsciously said the name of the monster. It was undoubtedly a dangerous creature. A griffin of this size would not even lose to a dragon in terms of strength. A wild griffin was fully capable of destroying small towns.

Before she instinctively wanted to use magic, a tall man jumped off the back of the griffin, and the entire ground shook with his movement.

He was almost a head taller than Fred, and not far off even Adolf in height.Under the thin brown coat were bulging muscles that could not be concealed. On the man's head was short brown hair less than an inch long, and his face was sharp and angular.

The butler Simon stood in front of the griffin with a worried expression, and sighed helplessly:

"Master Logan...you are making too much noise, maybe thousands of people in the town will see the griffin and publish the photos in ordinary people's newspapers."

"In fact, there will be no one. As long as I don't want to, ordinary people can't find me."

With strong confidence in his tone, Logan waved his hand to restore the messy courtyard to its original state, and then patted the Griffin's huge head.

"Feed her well, the kid eats only beef and ale."

There was no rein tied around the neck of the griffin. It had the wisdom not to lose to humans, and it followed Simon obediently to the pasture in the manor.

Logan quickly scanned the surrounding environment, because of the movement just now, the guards in the manor and many hired wizards came to the courtyard.

His gaze flicked over the guards, the wizards and Ayla, and finally settled on Ling.

"Still brazen enough to stay in Faust? If I were you, I should have left."

Ling sneered and said,

"It doesn't matter what you said, Logan, at least it was like this before you became the head of the family."

"I will, after I kick Fred off the seat...it won't take long."

Logan said no more, strode into the castle.

Ling glanced at the back of the other party, then retracted his gaze, and explained to Ella:

"Logan Mephisto, he is my father's third son. This guy with a problem brain has never recognized my surname Mephisto, and he has been like this since he was a child."

Unlike Schiff, this seems to be a completely non-communicative type.A little disgust was hidden in Ella's slightly narrowed eyes. She didn't like Logan at all for his lack of basic manners.

"What happened to that griffin?"

"I don't know much about Roger, just seeing him annoys me."

Ling had no interest in what Logan had been doing in recent years.

Hyde and Shadow appeared out of nowhere, and the former explained:

"Logan Mephisto... He runs a ranch in Spain that raises magical creatures. There are many pure-blood families and powerful wizards who will do business with him. He can do business at the age of 20. To this extent, he can be regarded as... a somewhat powerful guy."

"Is he Fred's third son?"

Ella thought about it.

"Mr. Schiff looked younger...I thought he was the eldest."

"Long boy..."

A somewhat embarrassed expression appeared on the faces of Hyde and Ling at the same time. They glanced at each other and expressed the same opinion on something:

"The eldest son of the Mephisto family... don't mention it."

Chapter 7 The Late Guy

On the third day, Fred's eldest son still did not show up at Faust Manor.

During this period, Ella hardly saw Logan again, and Schiff came over to chat with them from time to time.

"Logan..."

Shiv looked a little helpless when he mentioned him.

"He is a paranoid blood theory, not to mention Ling, that person probably doesn't even like me - but even so, I still hope that Logan can become the master of the Mephisto family in the future."

"why?"

Ella was a little puzzled, she could see that Schiff probably didn't have much affection for her younger brother.

"I don't really have much interest in inheriting the family... and Logan is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, you will soon understand that."

Saying so, the man shrugged and left.

The time reached noon, which was already the agreed meeting time.

Fred stood on the terrace on the top floor of the castle with a livid face, and the stone guardrail under his hands cracked due to the huge force.

"Simon, go and inform everyone that the meeting will continue as usual."

His voice sounded very calm, but it contained dull anger.

The old housekeeper sighed, and then left the terrace.

-

The conference hall of Faust Manor occupies most of the space on the second floor. It is a spacious hall with a height of more than thirty feet and enough to accommodate dozens of people.

The high dome is painted with religious paintings symbolizing hell and the devil, and a long black table is placed on top of the black and red decorated carpet.Two crystal lamps falling from high places and the orange flame in the fireplace lit up the dark hall without windows.

Four huge banners hung on the wall, and four different heraldic patterns symbolized the families and forces participating in the meeting.

They depict the horned demon of Mephisto, the blind Ouroboros belonging to Beruth, the chalk cliffs of the Brotherhood of Albion, and occupying the center is the golden scale symbolizing the alliance.

The gap between the seats divides the long table into four areas. The Hyde and his son representing the Belusay family, Val Farmini, and the two Brotherhood wizards behind him are sitting in the seat where Mephisto is. Logan, Schiff and Ling.

Ayla sits in the area where the alliance members are.

The representatives present were all prominent figures of the family or the organization they belonged to.

As the host of the meeting, Fred sat in the first seat. He was wearing a well-tailored dark red dress, which had few decorations but highlighted the volcanic temperament of the host of the castle.

After introducing the important figures of the Alliance and the Albion Brotherhood, he announced the start of the meeting.

Simon read out a draft of cooperation, and Fred pointed out in the draft that they each need to select members to form a sufficient envoy to contact the dirty blood before it enters the wizarding world.As the alliance's first cooperation with the Albion Brotherhood, they should all show enough sincerity.

On the condition of returning the two holy objects, a contract was established with the dirty blood.

Having said that, Fred clapped his hands, and under the guidance of the maid, Fitili and Victoria entered the conference hall and stood where everyone could see.

Fittili held a parchment map and a golden wine glass in his hand.

"I got the map and key to enter the land of Nod from Miss Fitili. There is no need to fake it. You should all be able to see the uniqueness of this golden cup. Before that, we also made a detailed explanation about it. Verification, ancient sources, divination and even hiring explorers to investigate the coordinates where the map points."

Most of the people present were well-informed people, and they could tell that the undisguised magic power was indeed unique to the space key.

The golden cup itself is very ordinary, but there is a dark red blood stain on the rim of the cup. It does not dry up but flows slowly on the rim, showing the characteristics of "living".The strong vitality and the indelible aura of filth are undoubtedly the legacy of a certain high-level filthy vampire.

"It's pointless to stress this, Mr. Fred."

Straw said:

"This plan is the consensus of all of us and there is no need to repeat it."

He kept an aristocratic smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Although we are strong allies, the interests of the family are also paramount. Do you agree with this?"

"of course."

Fred Mephisto nodded in response.

"Then the issue of members of the mission is an unavoidable topic."

The corners of Straw's mouth curled up a little higher,

"As you can see, my son Hyde Belusay will be one of the members of the mission. He is my designated heir and the next owner of White Rose Castle."

"Ella Williams is Howard's only disciple, so in terms of identity, I also recognize her as one of the representatives of the alliance."

Cumberbatch, an older wizard behind Val Farmine, also spoke at this time. He is one of the top leaders of the Albion Brotherhood in Scotland.

"Miss Farmine is our honorable saint. She will represent the brotherhood's will and become a member of the mission."

Farmine's identity in the Albion Brotherhood is not a secret, Straw nodded slightly, and then continued:

"It may be rude to say this - although Miss Ling is very good, I don't think she can be equal to other members of the diplomatic mission in terms of identity."

Ling's expression became a little complicated, but he just kept silent.Although Straw's words were harsh, it was true. She was just the adopted daughter picked up by Fred, not the heir of the Mephisto family.

Fred narrowed his eyes slightly, and it could be seen that he was not in a happy mood, but this occasion had already been expected by Fred.

"You're right, I don't deny that."

As he spoke he pointed to Mephisto's seat,

"It's a bit ashamed to say that, unlike you, I only have some incompetent sons——Sif Mephisto, my second son, his character and self-cultivation are enough to take on important responsibilities, but unfortunately he did not inherit my legacy. strength."

"Logan Mephisto, my third son, his bloodline strength is far superior to his elder brother, but he is too naughty."

Ella heard the hidden taste from Fred's words. This is not just the selection of envoys. In a sense, it also means the selection of Mephisto's heir.

Ella suddenly understood what Mrs. Diana meant. That shrewd lady probably didn't look down on her sons, but thought about letting Ling give birth to a suitable heir.

But even though she understood the other party's intentions, she still felt uncontrollable anger.This is a matter of principle that cannot be compromised, and there is no room for negotiation.

"I didn't agree to be an envoy."

Logan clasped his arms around his chest, looked up into Fred's eyes, and the beast-like green eyes met those dark gray pupils.

This process lasted for several seconds, and Logan let out a muffled snort, his face turning pale.

Fred pinched the short beard on his upper lip, and he could faintly see the white teeth at the corner of his grinning mouth.

"Obviously, your opinion is not important. Mephisto is still my final say. Logan, at least before I lie in the coffin, you have no right to question my decision, including your sister's identity."

Every time he said a word, the air became a little heavier, and the whole space faintly merged with this man.

The terrible pressure made Ella feel a little cold in her palms.She was stunned by Fred's strength. The master of the pure-blooded family had already approached the level of the executive Yusuf in terms of strength.
