"You said she wants to see me?"

In a house in Chicago, Pearl was sitting in a lounge with a fireplace. There was a blazing flame burning in the fireplace, and strangely, a human face made of flames loomed in the flames. With that face

The flame's face was opening and closing its mouth, and the words seemed a little erratic due to the swing of the flame, but every word was distinctly clear.

Although the flame only has a blazing charcoal color, the face in the flame is lifelike and full of charm. It only takes one glance to tell who it is.

After receiving the news from Pearl, Tang Bai immediately contacted Pearl and arranged this meeting. He needed to get more, more detailed information about Catherine from Pearl.

Although the contact method prepared for Pearl in advance could transmit messages quickly, it was not suitable for long conversations. So Tang Bai had to change to another method. Fortunately, it was using magic, even if there was no base station signal in this world.

Using similar technological communication tools, Tang Bai could also have long-distance real-time conversations with people without any hindrance. And there were many such methods.

The wizards in Harry's world communicate in a variety of ways. The most common one is the owl, which is the same as the human postman. A slightly better one is the magical communication that allows you to chat with people instantly when you have the Internet and a mobile phone.

.There are advantages and disadvantages among several methods.

Of course, if given the opportunity, Tang Bai would be happy to build a magical mobile network similar to the Floo Network in this world. In this way, only the existence of a fireplace can be used to teleport to fixed points. This can save a lot of money.

time to travel.

Most of the time, the convenience of magic is much superior to the convenience of technology. However, the establishment of the magic floo network does not happen overnight. It is a very time-consuming thing and requires a lot of manpower and material support. Tang

Bai doesn't have the ability to establish it yet.

"Yes, she didn't reject me, but she proposed that you come over and meet her. She said this was a way to confirm your sincerity." Pearl looked at Tang Bai's face exposed in the flames and said tentatively.

One sentence: "If you need it, I can take her back directly."

In the flames, Tang Bai's face clearly showed a thoughtful expression. Although Pearl's words were not said clearly, the meaning was clearly revealed.

Even though she knew that Catherine was unwilling, Pearl still said that she would bring her back. This was obviously with the intention of forcing her. With Pearl's now transformed strength, if she really wanted to use force, she would have survived four years like her.

Catherine, who has been around for more than a hundred years, has almost no chance of winning.

"Promise her."

Tang Bai's reply shocked Pearl. Now she was a little unsure about what Tang Bai was thinking about Catherine.

"Promise her and tell her that I will go over and meet her in person to show my sincerity to her. All you have to do is to keep a close eye on her before I rush over." Tang Bai repeated.

One sentence.

Tang Bai was not surprised by Catherine's caution. If a simple sentence could make Catherine Pierce obedient, she would no longer have any freedom. The Catherine Pierce in Tang Bai's impression was a general manager.

He is a person who likes to take the initiative, is cautious and extremely cunning.

No matter what kind of unfavorable situation they are in, such people will try their best to reverse the situation and let themselves take the initiative as much as possible.

Tang Bai's words can only be regarded as an introduction at best. As long as Catherine hates and feels tired and tired of this kind of life in Tibet, where she has to worry about her own safety at all times, then this sentence can more or less be said.

Let her hesitate and think for a moment.

If the person who delivered the message to her was Pearl, one of her best friends, even if Catherine would not completely believe it, it would at least make her place a little bet. And she asked Pearl to meet Tang.

Bai, undoubtedly proved this point sideways. It was also the first step for Catherine to take the initiative in the matter.

Although Tang Bai could completely ignore Catherine's request and let Pearl take her back by force. But this was the last option without Catherine's cooperation. Tang Bai had no idea about his future think tank and housekeeper candidates.

Resist the behavior of polite corporal.

Catherine Pierce is indeed a person who knows how to assess situations. Even if Tang Bai takes forced actions such as kidnapping and brings her to his presence, she will always understand the situation clearly after taking turns. But the forceful melon cannot

Tian Tang Bai is also willing to give Catherine due attention in the initial stage.

In the end, Tang Bai also had to consider the terrible situation that would happen if Pearl directly resorted to force but failed. Not to mention Catherine Pierce's ability to escape, just because of her identity as a doppelganger and half the protagonist, she had to let

People are thinking more about it.

Although the theory of luck is a bit illusory, there are always some lucky people in the world.

Even though the strength of Pearl and the vampires around her are no longer what they used to be, Tang Bai is not sure that Pearl and the others can successfully kidnap Catherine back. Since Catherine Pierce, who was a human at the time, was able to strangely escape from Klaus.

Her men escaped alive, and the vampires chasing after them once turned a blind eye to her who was not far away from them in the grass. To escape from Pearl's hands safely and escape Pearl's pursuit, for Catherine Pierce,

It doesn't seem to be an unimaginable thing.

Detecting Catherine's traces is not an easy task. Many people want to find her. This time, if it weren't for the fact that Tang Bai had some impression of Catherine's traces in his memory, he had delineated a rough range, and there was Pearl like this.

Catherine has been traveling with her for a long time, and there are people who know Catherine's behavior very well, and Catherine has no time to take precautions against them, and it is impossible for him to find traces of Catherine in this short time.

But this situation can only happen once. Once the recruitment fails for any reason and Catherine escapes, it will take a long time to find Catherine who is wary and prepared for them next time.

Already.

After comprehensive consideration, Tang Bai decided to go to see Catherine in person. The journey would not take long for Tang Bai. He went back and forth, and if things went well, it would probably take more time than Pearl and her taking Catherine with them.

It will take less time to come back.

"That's no problem, I've sent people to keep a close eye on it." Pearl nodded and replied. She also knew how cunning Katherine Pierce was, and the people she arranged alone might not be able to hide it from Katherine Pierce for long.

After asking some more questions, Tang Bai removed the communication magic. His face gradually faded as the flames danced, and finally turned into a wisp of dust and smoke and disappeared in front of Pearl's eyes.

In New Orleans, in Tang Bai's manor, Lilia on the sofa frowned and looked at Tang Bai with a look of surprise on her face: "Are you going to Chicago?"

"Yes, I need to go on a long trip." Tang Bai pursed his lips and tilted his head to her. After talking to Pearl in Chicago in the evening, he had already started to pack up his gifts. Fortunately, this time he just went out.

A trip is not a migration, and you will never come back. Therefore, the prepared salutes and other things can be greatly reduced.

"How long will it take?" Lilia's expression was a little sluggish.

"I'm not sure. If it goes well, I might be able to come back soon. If it doesn't go well, it might take a little more time. But I think as long as the beginning is not too bad, it shouldn't be difficult to get an ideal and smooth result." Tang Bai

He scratched his head and plucked the hair hanging down from his forehead.

"Are you relieved about the affairs here? This city hasn't fallen into your hands yet. Marcel must have known that the wizards of my faction have defected to you. I'm not sure if Klaus knows. You know that he is very concerned about betrayal.

He always has an attitude. Although I am not loyal to him, he asked me to deal with you when he left, but I did not do what he said, but instead took refuge in you..." Lilia glared.

, some chattering.

"What do you want to say?" Tang Bai interrupted Lilia's words and asked in a deep voice.

"What if he comes back when you are away? I don't think he will let us go generously. In the more than a hundred years he has ruled this city, he has had more than one bloody massacre." Lilia Bai

He glanced at Tang Bai: "I can't guarantee that I can withstand the angry Klaus and the large group of vampire ancestor family members."

"Don't worry, Klaus's patience is not as bad as you think. He will definitely need to wait and see for a while longer, and he won't be able to come back in a short time. Even if he comes back, what do you have to be afraid of?

?As long as you and Phil stay in the house in this manor that has been cast with various protective spells, Klaus can't come in without my invitation, and if he can't come in, he can't hurt you."

Tang Bai responded: "Besides, Kress can now more or less be on her own. As long as Phil protects her, it will be easy for her to cooperate with you to expel an ancestor. What's more, we can still keep in touch. If there is an accident, I

Will come back as soon as possible."

After Tang Bai finished speaking, Lilia naturally knew that Tang Bai had probably made up his mind. She didn't want Tang Bai to leave the city just like that, especially at such a sensitive time.

But Lilia also knows that she can't influence Tang Bai in any way. Her influence on Tang Bai, except for Pearl and Cress, is not even as good as Phil's. But Phil's decisions about Tang Bai are almost always

There will be no objections. (To be continued.)
