In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility.

The negotiation process was not as harmonious as before. The two sides were at loggerheads, going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other.

The new wolf clan in Texas is actually quite disgusted with the old wolf clan. You must know that only one-third of the backbone of the new wolf clan belongs to Basilicata.

The most bullied wandering wolves from Europe are the wolves. Those who are full of the old wolf clan's stale spirit are the culprits of the wandering wolf clan's situation.

Valentina hopes to "invest in Texas" at this time, which will obviously cause a lot of dissatisfaction.

Although their trip was meant to provide charcoal in times of need - someone had already delivered the charcoal in advance.

The two sides are actually in a state of getting what they need. Each one wants something from the other, but neither is indispensable to the other.

Speaking of immigration, without Saluzzo, Giuliano, with the power of this victory, would not lack other collaborators.

"Miss Valentina, you have to know that although we are grateful for your arrival, the Texans have proven their strength and we have the strength to fight against the invaders."

Giuliano clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Not only the first batch of British offensives, but also the Mexicans in the south who are eyeing us. The news has just been sent back that the rangers led by Mr. Lothar have defeated them. The proud New Army troops, equipped with a full set of British equipment, even captured their president, Porfirio. As long as they defeat the British once more, this war will end with the victory of the Lone Star Republic. ”

"Mr. Lothar?"

Valentina keenly captured the point. If the Texans can beat the British, they can beat the Mexicans. This is nothing shocking: "I have never heard of such a situation among the younger generation in Basilicata. figure."

Giuliano shook his head and said nothing: "Forgive me for not revealing his identity."

Valentina's expression was incomprehensible. After a long time, she slowly uttered a word: "Yesterday's giant ship?"

After the news came back that Lothar and a liquidation team died together in Switzerland, she later received a message from Lothar, asking if she was willing to put down everything she was doing and join yesterday's giant ship.

She refused.

Later, as time went by, she gradually regarded that experience as a fantasy, but looking at it now, it was probably all true.

"You know?"

Giuliano was a little surprised.

"Yes, do you still remember the big case that caused a lot of commotion in Turin and Milan twenty years ago? The liquidation team was wiped out, and the Wolf Lord was furious."

Valentina smiled and did not continue: "Actually, Lothar also invited me to join this organization at the beginning. Unfortunately, like you, I cannot give up the family that gave birth to us and raised us, and lost time. It’s a long journey, isn’t it?”

"Okay, let's be more honest. I know that the Saluzzo family is not the only collaborator of the Basilicata family. The wolf resistance in Sardinia, the Catania family, the Verona family, Many high-ranking wolves of the Siena family also have unclear relations with Basilicata, and even after this battle, the strength shown by Texas may be favored by the French. "

She paused and asked: "But the British are jackals, and the French may not be hungry tigers. It is not that simple to seek skin from tigers. I think, compared to others, Saluzzo is the one who has cooperated with us for many years." People' are more trustworthy, aren't they?"

"Of course, Miss Valentina, you have fully proved your sincerity by coming here, but the price I offered is already quite generous. With all due respect, I have no intention of selling Dirk Sass becomes a replica of the old wolf clan."

The main difference between the two parties is that Valentina wants greater autonomy. To put it bluntly, she wants to carve out her own territory in Texas and continue to be a "lord of one side", but Giuliano obviously cannot accept this.

"In Texas, you must obey the laws of Texas. I am willing to accept the Saluzzo people into the Texas government and even hold important positions, but times have changed, Miss Valentina. The era of thousands of wolves ruling hundreds of thousands of humans has long passed."

The first time we cooperated, it was obviously a matter of role models.

If this hole is opened, there will probably be a bunch of old wolf clan-style spheres of influence in Texas in the future. Mexico is also a big country, but it cannot develop at all because of local separatism.

Valentina frowned, the torrent of the times was like a rolling tide, and no one could stop it.

She actually opposed the old wolf clan's rule and was willing to make changes, but what worried her most was that the Saluzzo family was completely annexed by Texas, leaving only a symbol in history.

What's the difference between that and being annexed by Yaksi?

During the stalemate, a burst of cheers suddenly came from outside.

"What's going on?"

Giuliano stood up and asked.

The guard's tone was also a little excited: "Mr. Lothar is back!"

"Mr. Patriarch, it seems that our conversation can come to an end for now. Let's go and greet our hero who defeated the invaders."

Valentina suggested with a smile.

Giuliano was convinced, and the two of them walked out of the Hall of Wolves side by side and came to the covered bridge between the two peaks of Wolfsburg.

Looking up, I saw a magic dragon with three heads in the sky slowly descending into the clouds. Its broad wings vibrated and blew up the snow on the covered bridge. A young and vigorous figure, Jumped off the dragon's back.

Lothar's face was still a little pale. In the eyes of the wolf tribe, he was just like a shining little golden man, and the holy light in his body was about to overflow.

"Mr. Lothar was injured?"

"Bullshit, how could Mr. Lothar be injured? He is not a dark creature like us. He must be a powerful paladin like Ms. Jeanna!"

Lothar smiled bitterly, forced himself to stand up, and looked at the two figures walking towards him, one tall and one short.

This should be the end of pretending all day long.

Lothar's calm eyes suddenly blinked, and his sight was fixed on the man next to the old patriarch, a little surprised.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Mr. Losa."

Valentina came closer and looked at Losa's face carefully: "From a distance, you were so golden that I couldn't recognize you. Now, you haven't changed at all compared to before."

"Ms. Valentina, why are you here?"

Lothar was a little surprised. It was a happy thing to meet an old friend again.

Compared to when they parted, her short black hair had grown longer, her figure was plumper, her temperament was more mature, and she looked quite charming.

Valentina crossed her arms and snorted, "You are a fake Saluzzo. I am not worthy of being called Captain."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to feel that her tone was a little ambiguous, and cleared her throat again, saying, "We must find a way out for Saluzzo, otherwise we will be scared to death watching the French expand their military forces and prepare for war every day."

"That's right."

Lothar nodded. He actually considered whether to cooperate with the old wolf tribe. After all, the old wolf tribe is not all a group of old antiques who are stubborn and conservative. If he wins over a group of them and lets those old antiques who refuse to progress be drowned by the tide of the times, the new wolf tribe will be the orthodox wolf tribe in this world.

"Have you met with Cherinina?"

"No, I was busy talking about business. After all, I am now the first heir to Saluzzo and the chief of the Council of Elders. Of course, it is important to talk about business."

Valentina said, and looked at the old patriarch on the side.

"It's a pity that our old patriarch is not humble at all to the younger generation. We have gone through hardships and traveled across the ocean to help our old friend. Although we haven't helped much, we have good intentions. Losa, after all, you are also a member of our Saluzzo family. At this time, shouldn't you speak up for us?"

Didn't you say that I am a fake Saluzzo?

Lothar heard this and couldn't help but have a headache. Only a fool would get involved in such a matter. Although he said that Giuliano would definitely listen.

Lothar suddenly coughed violently, and a mouthful of blood stained with golden light overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He hurriedly said: "Help me in quickly, I was seriously injured and urgently need Lavinia's treatment."

Behind him, Ladon's three heads looked at each other.

Isn't my master so seriously injured?

Hasn't he rested almost enough in the carriage? Otherwise, how could he have the spare energy to stand on his dragon's back and fly? Looking at his posture, I'm afraid he would have been blown away by the wind long ago.
