39 Cooperation (1/2)

”Soo who would like to start?”

Asked Lucien with a little mischievous voice. He knew that both Eto and Arima have many questions regarding all of this. Especially Eto, because she was the only leader of Aogiri Tree and didn't have access to confidential pieces of information like Arima Kishou.

”What has forced the Aeon House to send only heir to deal with Washuu Clan?”

One must say that Arima was a really straightforward person.

”Several years ago Washuu Clan several agents of Vasuki to sneak into our Island. Unfortunately for them, soon they were found by some of the guards of our House and they fought a battle to the death. When they almost lost they exploded bomb which destroyed something very precious. Thenceforth our House has been thinking about method how to deal with them, and in the end, they sent me here because other stronger members of House and race can't leavethe island due to special reasons.”

Even Eto now listened attentively to Lucien's talk. It appeared that Washuu Clan had made powerful enemies, but the enemy can't do anything to them because of some unmentioned reasons.

”What is Sacred Devourer Ghoul?”

Asked Eto with seemingly confused. Arima knew what they were but he didn't explain or said anything. So Lucien just repeated that what he said Itori in this regard.

”Ghoul Race is divided between ordinary ghouls, that are those who you could see everywhere around. Then there exist Sacred Devourer Ghouls which is something like sub-species but with stronger evolutionary potential and some other things. Several hundred years before there existed several noble houses of ghoul race, more to be precise of Sacred Devourer Ghouls. Their role was the protection of race as a whole and they were guardians against people who would want our annihilation. Aeon House was that too. But there was huge was and all houses were annihilated and our own only barely survived. We went into hiding and most of ghoul society forgotten about us.”

There existed many sub-species of ghoul race in this world such as one-eyed ghouls, artificial one-eyed ghouls, half-humans and other hybrids. Eto was caught by surprise when she listened to Lucien's teaching. For her, this was rather a new world.

”What kind of cooperation could, Aeon House provide?”

Asked Arima with a straight face. He was rather curious what would heir of the Aeon House propose. Lucien smiled at this as the long-awaited this question.

”Only simple thing. I could provide you with this.”

Answered to him as he took out a small blood red bead. It was blood essence, it was much smaller compared to those Lucien ate or those which he gave to Itori or Uta. It was because this one was refined from only one B-rated ghoul so its effect is much weaker, but it is still precious in eyes of ordinary ghouls, cause it could increase their RC Level, without the need to cannibalize.

”You sure know how to negotiate.”
