The mill business was a bit interesting, completely opposite to what Ford had brought to him for cooperation. After Zach read Madison’s work report, he directly started making phone calls—informing relatives to come over to discuss the funeral ceremony.
Madison's work report stated that the relatives wanted to have traditional funeral ceremonies, such as prayers and farewell ceremonies, but they did not want burial and did not want to build a cemetery that would trouble them in the future. Before the cremation in Barton City resumed, the relatives did not want to rush the funeral, but there were some relatives who were not citizens of Barton, so they could not wait in Barton.
So with this strange request in the report before Zach, Grande is asked to first handle the ceremony and create all the traditional procedures, obituary, church, guests, ceremony, and then not bury the body, but continue to put the body back on the ice. Curry then waited for cremation to resume.
It's hard to evaluate whether this situation is worse or Ford's desire to end things quickly... aren't they both caused by the living not wanting to continue to be hindered by the dead and wanting to turn the page quickly? Which one is more 'respectful', haha, it's really hard to say.
However, our Zach doesn’t have any objections, it’s just a job that comes with his identity. I called and informed my relatives that they would come over for discussion in the afternoon, then put down the phone and went to find Benjamin, um, 'play'.
"What are you doing?" Benjamin was busy arranging haystacks in the warehouse - maybe the previous description didn't emphasize it too much, so everyone didn't accurately realize how much sheep blood Zach had consumed this morning. very many. There were so many that Benjamin felt that if he didn’t add some food to the animals in the barn, none of them would survive tomorrow. So, Alpha works here for the vampire's food.
The reason why Benjamin's problem arose was because Zach inserted his finger into Benjamin's shoulder. It's not a metaphor, it's really inserted. When Benjamin asked this question, he was staring at the blush on his shoulder with raised eyebrows.
"To irritate you." Zach took back his hand, unbuttoned, pulled the collar, adjusted the looseness, and waved to Benjamin, "Come here."
The corners of Benjamin's eyes twitched, he dropped the haystack, moved his shoulders where the blush was no longer spreading, and shook his hands. Since Benjamin's dressing style has always been 'lightweight', he didn't make any extra moves. He raised his fist in front of his face and said, "Okay, I'm pissed off."
Zach did look disgusted. He looked at Benjamin's fighting posture, raised his hand and slapped away Benjamin's ridiculous fist in front of his face, "What the hell is this? You know I will never attack you." Face." The fingertips pressed together poked at Benjamin's left chest, "I will aim for this..."
Benjamin hit Zach with a straight punch on the bridge of his nose, "I don't have such worries."
Without even touching Benjamin, Zach's hand changed its trajectory and covered his nose. His expression was wrinkled in pain or speechlessly, and he didn't know whether it was pain or speechlessness. "Not bad, I almost forgot that you drank the soup sent by Max's girlfriend." (After the full moon cycle ends, the powerful senses and abilities of the werewolf during the full moon cycle are still retained.) While straightening the bridge of his nose again, his eyes turned red.
If you don't understand why this happened... Well, have you ever seen that old-fashioned plot? The dialogue between men who help each other must be accompanied by mutual harm. So, don’t worry, there’s a conversation—
"But I hope you understand why I did this." Without being polite at all, Zach's closed palms drew an afterimage in the air.
Benjamin, who jumped back, looked down at his chest, revealing his chest.
Benjamin continued to hold his fist in front of his face and replied, "My guess is Eli Toledo. You asked me to observe the call before."
"Well, I'm glad that you understood my mood before you got bored." Zach looked at Benjamin with red eyes, and the expression on his face became a little interested, "So to block my sight? Not bad. But I still feel Offended." Zach launched another attack, old-fashioned and without any new ideas, his fingertips pressed together directly into Benjamin's, er, exposed point.
Benjamin's downward elbow deflected Zach's attack target, but the deflection was not enough—
Zach showed a satisfied look. Benjamin’s exposed spot was covered with brown and black hair, and Zach’s fingertips did not penetrate it. It would really be an insult to Zach if Benjamin didn't have Alpha skin when he was 'playing' with Zach.
"If your offensive strategy has been so predictable." Benjamin returned to the fighting position, "I can accompany you with my eyes closed."
Zach's eyes never left Benjamin's face. Although his eyes were blocked by his fists, Zach knew how to move. He moved left and right with no rules, as if he was calm and casual. "I don't want to either, but one fatal blow is my only choice." Strategy. I can’t afford it.”
Do you realize what Zach is saying
"Indeed." Benjamin actually nodded, "The Sabbat Toledo's ability to control blood flow is really troublesome, and ordinary blood-draining tactics are useless to them."
Remember, Georgina once said that her ability to control blood was pretty average. As long as Zach caused a big wound to her, she would have to wait for death, but other Sabbat Toledo could survive even if their limbs were severed. In this case, he also ensures that he does not lose blood! Benjamin has seen it with his own eyes!
Zach tilted his head, "So, one fatal blow is my only strategy." He struck again, still with the same straight thrust.
Benjamin's elbow also pressed down again, but this time, another smooth afterimage scratched towards Benjamin's neck. Well - Zach has two hands.
Benjamin's body pressed down sharply, he arched his waist and moved forward. There was a muffled sound coming from nowhere, and Zach's chest was hit by Benjamin's forward shoulder.
"Uh... not bad." Zach stood back on the ground two seconds after leaving the ground, pulling the front of his shirt that was somewhat empty, and watching Benjamin, who was already several meters away, move his shoulders that seemed to be misplaced, and stood up again. fist.
"Thank you." Benjamin began to take the initiative to move towards Zach. No one said that this 'play' could only be attacked by Zach, right
"Take the initiative?" Zach raised his eyebrows, "Then, what will you do?"
"The point is not what I can do! But..." Benjamin cheated, tilted his body, and disappeared into the haystack, making a loud noise, "What can the Sabbat Toledo do? They are good at assassination. Remember, you can't Find out where they appear from, because because of their blood control ability, you can't sense them, and you won't know where they will attack from."
The last few words began to appear from all directions behind the haystack, and at the end of the note a grass rake flew towards Zach.
Zach panned, frowning as he watched the grass rake fly out of the warehouse and be caught by Louise.
"What are you doing??" Louise looked worried. If Sam hadn't held her back, she would have rushed in directly.
"A little practice." Zach answered calmly, looking back and forth on the haystack, "This is indeed a problem. I guess their attack strategy will also be a fatal blow." He frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head He rolled up his sleeves and began to injure himself.
When the bright red splashes were scattered on the haystack, Louise interrupted again, "What happened?! What are you doing!" It is necessary for men to 'hurt each other', and a woman must be 'anxious' '…
"Eli Toredo happened." Zach glanced at Louise, "When you picked up Ford, he called." Zach panned again, dodging the flying, uh, The hay that obscured Zack's entire field of vision was a feint.
As soon as Zach turned around, Benjamin had already bumped into him. He only had time to leave a scratch on Benjamin's back, and Zach flew to the second floor like a bag.
"Tsk!" Benjamin curled his wrist, glanced at Sam, who was glaring next to Louise, and straightened his twisted wrist without bothering to do anything with a crisp sound - Benjamin's fatal attack was blocked.
Zach slowly climbed up between the broken railings on the second floor, and wordlessly smoothed down the front of his shirt that was once again empty and collapsed, "I can feel you now."
"No, you cheated." Benjamin frowned, "You can't know where Sabbat Toledo will attack from, you can't sense it."
Zach jumped back underground, "I didn't cheat." Pointing to the blood stains on Benjamin's body, "I can't sense the blood of Sabbat Toledo, but I can sense my own." This is what Zach did just now. The reason for the self-mutilation behavior that only occurs when fighting against soul aliens.
Benjamin lowered his head and glanced at his front. It was probably stained when he rushed out of the haystack. I was going to continue to insist that Zach was cheating, but Benjamin tilted his head as if it was a projection, pulled the back of his torn T-shirt, and frowned, "You injected your blood into my body."
"Yeah." Zach nodded, surprisingly serious, "Werewolves seem to digest blood slower than vampires, but I should have at least half a minute to fully grasp the movements of Toledo, the Sabbat. That's enough." He continued to nod with self-recognition, "The key is to prevent the first attack." Zach's expression was a very serious analysis, "We must make good use of Sabbat Toledo's disregard for vampire blood, and when they get close, I was contaminated before..."
Remember, Georgina once reluctantly admitted that the reason why all vampires can learn the blood control skills of Sabbat Toledo, but only Sabbat Toledo can best utilize this skill is because they have no control over vampires. The shielding of perception is two-way, other vampires cannot sense them, and they have no knowledge of the bloodlines of other vampires! Therefore, you can't feel the bloodline suppression, and you can use the assassination of shielding perception to the extreme.
Benjamin frowned, "Well, are you going to spill your blood outside Grande? Aren't you going to leave Grande... "
"Wait a minute!" Louise pushed away Sam's obstruction, "Can you wait a minute?! Can you explain to me?!"
Benjamin pouted, took off the T-shirt that couldn't cover anything at all, and went directly to the bathroom on the west side, "Explain it, there's no need to practice, Sabbat Toledo doesn't know your eyes, they don't They will always defend your sight. After the first attack fails, they have no chance of winning." It was just like Georgina realized that she and Robert were going to die.
Benjamin waved his hand and left. Seeing that Sam had the intention to follow, Benjamin glared at him and said, "Clean up here!"
Sam pursed his lips, took the rake from Louise's hand, and started working. Zach began to explain to Louise, who was blindly worried.
"Eli Toledo escaped from the Sabbat, and he is coming to find me." Zach was also adjusting his appearance, and had nothing to say about his wizard being ordered by Alpha, "And when he comes, There will definitely be no peace.”
"Why, why?" Louise looked at Zach with a puzzled look on her face, "Georgina can..."
"That's for James." Zach waved his hand. If possible, Zach didn't want to mention Georgina too much. It would be too tragic and would make him feel bad. "And Georgina is nothing. In my eyes, she is the same as Charlie." There is no difference between vampires born by accident and aliens, so I can ignore them. But not Eli Toredo."
"Uh, why not? Just because of Toledo's last name?"
"Yes, it's because of Toledo's surname." Zach looked at Louise and confirmed.
Louise frowned tightly, "Can't you, uh, have a good chat? What are you best at? Let's find a position that we can mutually agree on, and then reach an agreement or something..." Haha, Louise really agreed with Zach had learned a lot and knew that the first step to building a peaceful relationship was living common ground, look at the fallen angels, look at the saints, look at the wizards, the hunters, everything about Barton, but—
"No, Sabbat Toledo and I don't have any common ground." Zach's face showed relief but also absoluteness. "The reason why they appeared in the Federation is to replace me. We have no common ground."
"No!" Louise actually refuted Zach, "You said he escaped from the Sabbat? Then the Sabbat is your common position..." Louise may have retorted firmly, but it was only for that moment. When he said this, he closed his mouth with a gloomy expression.
The relief on Zach's face became even greater, and Louise understood - why did Eli Toledo need to escape from the Sabbat, and why was he imprisoned by the abandonment? Because not only did he not really get Toledo's surname to fill his place and become the Thirteen Clan, but he also didn't really get Toledo. Our Zachary Grande is useful~ Then, isn't it simpler? Zach will exist for one day. , Eli Toledo’s miserable situation in the Sabbat will continue for one day!
In the past, before Zach had done so many things in Barton and had become so 'precious', Zach still had some security. Toledo's bloodline was continued elsewhere (Papa Midnight, Ian). But now, haha.
Zach and Eli have nothing in common! There is no room for 'saying' or returning it!
Therefore, Zach practiced here and found Alpha Benjamin, who once said that he had witnessed the Sabbat Toledo battle.
But don’t think that this is the end, this practice will continue. Thank you Benjamin for having confidence in Zach, but don’t think that Zach will feel at ease like this. In addition to Benjamin, Zach has a few options to practice with. (.)
