In fact, it was not only Hercules who was tricked by Li Xuan, but also several unlucky guys from the Demon Alliance.
In fact, the poet imagined that something was wrong the moment he received the information, but he still tried to contact Kalji and others with a fluke mentality, but he couldn't get through. It was obvious that Kalji and others were in great danger.
Cai Liling, who was released by Li Xuan shortly afterwards, confirmed his guess. Kalgi and others were all captured. Li Xuan demanded to exchange Kalgi and Ouroboros for the flag of Arcadia.
This matter concerns the flags of the Kalgi and Arcadia Grand Alliance. It is no longer something that a small Ouroboros lower-level leader like Fantasy can decide. He can only report to the Ouroboros leader, the Holy Immortal Krishna.
"Exchange? Impossible. I'll agree to all the other conditions except this one. I must get Kalki back no matter what."
The flag of Arcadia itself is not important, but it is one of the necessary conditions for the absolute evil to be unblocked, and there is no way it can be returned now.
But with Li Xuan standing in the way of Ouroboros, there was no way the Ouroboros could rescue Kalki under Li Xuan's watch. Since they couldn't defeat him, they had no choice but to negotiate, even agreeing to more conditions was out of the question.
The people above just say one word, and the people below run themselves rashly. Talking, is it really that easy?
He couldn't meet Li Xuan's demands, and he also wanted to get Kalki back. This was no easy task, but what could Fantasy do? He was just a small poet, and he didn't dare to disobey Krishna, one of the seventeen all-powerful domains.
Chapter 74: The Ouroboros
On the third day after the Harvest Festival, Black Rabbit and Leticia were still busy finishing up the Harvest Festival. When Li Xuan had nothing to do, Cai Liling, who had been waiting for a long time, came to his door.
Li Xuan, who was skilled and courageous, did not care whether there were traps or ambushes. He rejected Leticia's idea of following the guards and went to the transaction location alone with Cai Liling.
"Are you so cowardly? You don't even need to show up for negotiations. Isn't that too rude?"
The person who appeared in front of Li Xuan was nothing more than a puppet that wasn't even a clone.
"Your Highness, please forgive my impoliteness. Due to personal reasons, I can only communicate with you in this way. This will not affect the transaction between us."
Huanxiang didn't dare to appear in front of Li Xuan in person. He noticed from Cai Liling's words that Li Xuan had special authority to know other people's information. Therefore, he was talking to Li Xuan through more than a dozen people. He was in a safe house that could block all kinds of detection. If he could still be discovered by Li Xuan, he would accept it.
"I won't waste any more time talking to you. Did you bring the flag?"
"Your Highness, it is impossible to hand over the flag."
"No flag? So you're here to tease me, huh? It seems Kalki isn't that great. It seems we might as well just kill him."
Li Xuan knew Ouroboros wouldn't be able to easily change its flag, but he was being so forceful. Did he want to stop talking? Was he sure he wouldn't kill them? Li Xuan's eyes narrowed. What if he killed them? He was just afraid of trouble and didn't want to kill, not that he couldn't.
Can the two-digit number behind him really end up in trouble for a four-digit number of 370? As for revenge, according to the concept of gods and Buddhas, Li Xuan would have become a two-digit number or even a single digit long ago, so why would he be afraid of their revenge?
"Your Highness, let's talk it over. We can discuss everything except the flag."
When Xianghuan saw that Li Xuan's expression was not right and he had murderous intentions, he became a little anxious. No, the negotiations have just begun. If I act a little tough, you will just overturn the table and not give me any room for maneuver.
Fantasy discovered that Li Xuan really didn't take Kalji seriously, and he didn't care about the two digits behind him. He really dared to kill him.
The reason why the Holy Immortal Krishna and Fantasy are confident in getting Kalji back is that Kalji's safety is at least guaranteed. In this way, for Li Xuan, Kalji becomes a useless person who cannot be killed but would be unwilling to let go. As long as Ouroboros pays a large sum of money, it is very likely that a deal will be reached.
But now that Li Xuan really dared to kill people, the meaning was completely different. If the deal failed, Li Xuan would not get the flag and would only lack some legal basis and prestige, but Ouroboros might really lose Kalgi.
Ouroboros had done so much to create the conditions for Kalki's birth. Now, if Kalki were gone, all of Ouroboros' efforts from the dawn of time until now would have been in vain.
Originally, Kalgi's birth would have signaled the end of the Little Garden, greatly increasing the likelihood that the group of gods behind Ouroboros would persuade the other two-digit figures to rebuild the Little Garden. If Kalgi were gone, there would be no point in persuading them.
Originally, Ouroboros expected the worst outcome to be the failure of the transaction and Kalgi falling into Li Xuan's hands. That was not unacceptable. It didn't matter how Kalgi lived, as long as he was alive, there was meaning. Kalgi's existence itself was meaningful.
But now the deal between Ouroboros and Li Xuan can only succeed and cannot fail.
"What's there to discuss? You Ouroboros have no sincerity at all. I have nothing to say to you."
"Your Highness, we can hand over all the prisoners we have, including two high-ranking officials with four-digit salaries."
When the Demon King was ordered to attack Arcadia, although he did not dare to go too far and exiled most of the people to the outside world, some people were captured by the Demon King, including three senior cadres, including Leticia. Except for Leticia who was released and resold everywhere, the other two senior cadres are still in the hands of Ouroboros.
Among them is Sun-Sky Leo, whose strength is even greater than Leticia's. The Leo Sun Sovereignty in Kalgi was taken away from Sun-Sky Leo by Ouroboros.
"Not enough, absolutely not enough. To be honest, I've never met these two senior officials before, so there's no need for pretense. The bargaining chips we're using are simply not equal."
Li Xuan was a little tempted. It would be nice to rescue some members. He could unlock some new costumes with Black Rabbit, but the value was still far less than that of Kalgi.
"Your Highness, what do you want? Just tell me. Anything is fine except the flag."
Fantasy was helpless. His vital point was caught, so he could only let Li Xuan name the price.
Seeing that Ouroboros was holding on to Arcadia's flag so tightly, Li Xuan came to his senses. Ouroboros was dancing with a sword like Xiang Zhuang, aiming at Pei Gong. The flag was not important, but absolute evil was very important.
For Ouroboros, Kalgis's existence is important, but the unsealing of Absolute Evil is more important. It is too troublesome to convince the other gods, so it is better to take a hard approach and release Absolute Evil. When the other gods feel threatened, Kalgis's existence can give the other gods an excuse to convince themselves to give up the box garden.
"Then send Lamia, Lamia II, and Kara together. I think that shouldn't be a problem."
Fantasy was shocked. How could it be possible? Apart from him who was responsible for Leticia's transformation into a demon king, only Saint Krishna knew about Lamia's existence in Ouroboros.
"Do you still think you can hide this from me? You don't really think you can hide in the basement and talk to me through the air and escape my sight."
"Your Highness, Lamia is a triple-digit existence."
After accepting the curse on vampires from the outside world of the box garden, the size of Lamia's spirit continued to grow and had already broken through the three-digit mark. Although she sealed herself, it was still a three-digit number anyway.
"So much nonsense? Are you going to change it or not?"
Li Xuan simply couldn't bear to listen to Fantasy's boasting. Yes, Lamia was a triple-digit power, but was it any use? Ouroboros couldn't resolve the mutations caused by the curse on Lamia, or perhaps it was Lamia's own power that was caused by the curse. Even if the curse was resolved, the power would be gone. So, was Ouroboros going to all this trouble to do good?
"Change."
To Ouroboros, Arcadia's captives, Leticia's sister and niece, were ultimately of little importance. Losing the hostages they had used to control Arcadia was a shame, but compared to Kalki, they were not as important.
"Then let's exchange hostages."
In just a few minutes, Huanhuan brought the hostages to Li Xuan. Since nothing he did was of any use, he stopped struggling and came in his real form.
There are two blonde vampires on his left and right. The girl with glasses and wearing a maid outfit on the left is Leticia's former maid, Kara, and the loli on the right looks extremely similar to Leticia, and is obviously Lamia II.
Li Xuan also released Kalgi and his group. Both sides remained restrained. Ouroboros was in a weak position and naturally wanted to ensure the smooth progress of the transaction. It would take some time for Li Xuan to do whatever he wanted in the box garden, and he didn't want to make things too ugly with Ouroboros.
Fantasy handed a playground to Li Xuan, inside which were hidden the self-sealed Lamia and the members of Arcadia who were captured by Ouroboros.
"Your Highness, I wonder where Maxwell is, and what happened to Kalki's solar sovereignty?"
I imagined that as soon as I checked, I would find something wrong, and a lot of things were missing.
"Maxwell was crazy. He tried to attack me, but I killed him. As for the Leo Sun, he originally belonged to the Sun-Sky Leo. Now it's just returning it to its rightful owner."
Seeing Li Xuan's nonchalant look, Fantasy could only endure it, as he was no match for the opponent.
Ouroboros had never suffered such a huge loss since its establishment. There was no big problem in releasing Kalgis. Even a double-digit number of people would not dare to attack him easily. Theoretically, there was no danger. But Li Xuan was not ordinary. He really dared to kill Kalgis and actually captured Ouroboros.
Ouroboros suffered heavy losses in this transaction. Even Heitian's face darkened the moment he saw the loss.
What a good Li Xuan! You are taking advantage of me now, but you will be in trouble when he comes back to haunt you.
As long as the absolutely evil action can be successfully carried out, no matter how arrogant Li Xuan is, he will be like a grasshopper in autumn and will not be able to jump for many days.
Chapter 75 The Tragedy of Vampires
"Did you get the flag?"
Although Hei Tu and others did not go together, they were in no mood to deal with such a big thing and were waiting for Li Xuan's return in the conference room.
"Ouroboros didn't agree, but they were willing to release Sun Sky Lion and his family, as well as Leticia's relatives, so I agreed."
"Hitenshishi-sama has been rescued! And Lady Leticia's relatives? Why haven't I heard of them?"
"Lamia?"
Everyone had different reactions to the news, but they were all very surprised. The flag was important, but Black Rabbit thought it was more important to get the hostages back from Ouroboros.
Save the land, lose the people; both the land and the people are lost; save the people, lose the land; both the land and the people are saved. This principle applies no matter where you apply it. The flag can be found again, but saving the people would be at least ten times more difficult if we hadn't caught the vital point of Kalki, the Ouroboros.
Especially after Li Xuan's strength is exposed, the value of Arcadia's members will also increase significantly, making it even more difficult to rescue people.
"Black Rabbit, let the Sun Sky Lion and the others out and give them a good rest."
Li Xuan handed the playground over to Black Rabbit, asking her to arrange for Sun Lion and the others to familiarize themselves with the community's current situation. After all, the old members were only familiar with two people: Black Rabbit and Leticia. Leticia had to deal with the affairs of her sister and niece, so Li Xuan had no choice but to hand this matter over to Black Rabbit.
This group of old members is still very valuable. After all, the Arcadia Alliance has been preliminarily rebuilt. However, Arcadia, as the headquarters, is only supported by high-end combat forces and is in urgent need of a group of backbones and elites.
This group of people of Sun-Sky Leo can support the rapid expansion of the community. Li Xuan also intends to return the Leo Sun Sovereignty to Sun-Sky Leo. Sun Sovereignty is useless to Li Xuan, and others cannot use it. Sun-Sky Leo, who intends to be used as a double flower red stick, still needs to ensure its combat effectiveness.
"Yes, I understand. I will make good arrangements."
Black Rabbit naturally understood what Li Xuan meant, and she felt that Ritian Lion and the others would not be so desperate as to oppose Li Xuan as the second generation.
"And the three of you, go out too, don't think about watching the fun."
Li Xuan also drove out the three problem children who were gossiping nearby.
"Don't be like that. I haven't heard any news from Leticia's relatives in the past few days. Is there something hidden? Give me a chance."
"If Leticia is willing, you can ask her yourself later."
Izayoi Sakamaki was very interested in the affairs of Leticia, who usually acted like an elder, and struggled to stay, but Li Xuan's power was beyond his ability to resist, and he was directly refused entry.
"Come out."
Li Xuan released Lamia II and Kara. The reason they weren't allowed to meet the others was because, for various reasons, they were actually Ouroboros members. Only Leticia herself could persuade them.
"Are you Lamia?"
Although she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't suppress her emotions when she saw the blonde girl with twin tails appearing before her.
Ever since Li Xuan told her the news about his sister Lamia, she had dreamed of this face countless times.
"My sister is not the monster the poets sang about. I firmly believed this until the very end."
"I just hope that my sister will be happy." "Sister, remember, you must live well and stop carrying so many things."
How many times have I woken up from my dreams because of Lamia's disappearance?
No, although the girl's face was exactly the same as her sister Lamia's, and she could sense the spirit of a pure-blooded vampire, she was not Lamia.
"Nice to meet you, Aunt Leticia."
Facing Leticia, Lamia II no longer remained silent as he had before facing Li Xuan. Instead, he came out and bowed to Leticia.
"Aunt? Master, who is she?"
Leticia had a bad feeling in her heart. She called herself aunt and looked exactly like her sister. What was going on?
"She is Lamia II, your sister's child. I told you before, right? After Lamia accepted the curse, she quickly transformed into a monster. For this reason, she chose to seal herself away."
Li Xuan sighed. Lamia really admired Leticia, and even took on the terrifying curse for her.
"But at that time, you were also deeply trapped in the Demon King's Gift Game. Lamia was already the only royal family in the outside world. To continue the vampire royal bloodline, Lamia split part of her own spirit and gave birth to a new vampire royal family, namely herself, Lamia II. Later, she brought Kara and the remaining vampires to join Ouroboros, and there was no news of them in the outside world."
"Ouroboros? Why?"
Leticia's face turned pale. Her niece was among the Ouroboros that destroyed the Arcadia Alliance?
"All this is Mother's will."
Lamia II was not telling lies. No matter how kind a princess was, she would become distorted and evil in the face of cruel and distorted reality.
The princess, who single-handedly bore the curse of her entire clan, cursed the world for the first time since her birth, at the end of her seal. "Rise and fall, success and failure... The destruction of the vampire clan is also a kind of fate. But even so—even so, it should not be destroyed in this way."
A family that had dedicated themselves to public justice was swept up in a vortex of scandal and ridicule and dissipated. The cruel ending brought tears of sorrow to her eyes.
Having witnessed her mother's tragic fate, Lamia II also hated poets and humans immensely. That's why she joined Ouroboros, wanting to completely exterminate poets who distorted the truth and took pleasure in the suffering of others, as well as to take revenge on foolish and ignorant humans.
"I………………"
What could Leticia say in the face of all this? What could she say to her sister who had sacrificed so much for her? Blame? Instruction?
Leticia didn't feel that she was qualified, so she could only turn to Li Xuan for help.
"Do you think joining Ouroboros will really allow you to avenge those wicked poets and save your mother? You're just throwing a tantrum, and it will only put Leticia in a difficult position."
Li Xuan said lightly.
"Why do you lecture me in this tone? What qualifications do you have?"
Lamia II frowned. As one of the last vampire royals, few people dared to speak to her like that.
"Me? I'm Leticia's master. You might not approve of this kind of relationship. Alternatively, you can call me uncle."
"Even so, tell me, what can I do? How much did the vampire clan sacrifice for the Little Garden? When we were in trouble later, did anyone stand up? Did anyone stop those damned poets from slandering us? The answer is no one. Apart from Ouroboros, no one is willing to accept us, the remaining vampires."
Her mother, Lamia I, had worked hard for the honor of the vampire clan and the glory of Leticia.
"My royal sister is not the monster the poets sang about."
As if mocking the vampire clan for Lamia's attempt to protect the honor of her beloved sister, the poets continued to sing. Perhaps that gesture of devotion was the most delicious dish for them.
"Well, now we have it. Compared to Ouroboros, she's still Leticia. We're family, so we're more trustworthy, right?"
