"Ha!" A voice that was not expected by anyone to appear here said, "Isn't that what it is! It would be nice to be more useful than that Eli Tori~"
The vampire and the person at the window turned around at the same time and looked at, well, Papa Midnight, who was loosely wearing his maroon coat. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
His eyes that should have been red turned red. Human beings who should be self-aware also took a step back and stood behind Zach.
Zach frowned and turned back, glanced at Oz behind him, and said, "You shouldn't expect me to protect you." Zach has some doubts about which set of memories Oz is using now. After all, according to the false and Ye Gong's set, if this mind reader wants to save his life in front of Papa Midnight, he should hide in Lesen Go behind Bra.
"I just hid behind the strongest person here, don't think about weird things." Oz was still calm.
"Our side?" Papa Midnight held the jacket he had taken off with one finger and hooked it with his other hand, as if summoning something, "It is not a wise decision to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy so quickly~"
Yes, aren't we and the enemy destined to harm each other? Haha, hurting each other, if you think too much, it may only be a unilateral massacre.
The vampires with red eyes, five of them, took a step forward. Hamilton's face became gloomy, because the 'strongest' guy on our side, our Zack, didn't even move.
"What are you doing? Are you stupid enough to ask me to follow you?" Zach responded to Hamilton calmly and matter-of-factly. Not wanting to explain too much, they looked at the wooden mannequin that walked into the apartment step by step, bound by a dark red spell, and approached Papa Midnight.
Zach tilted his head and watched Papa put his coat on the model at midnight. Something strange happened. The maroon coat turned into liquid, melted into the model's body, and finally turned into a, uh, lotus flower on the model's chest
The model said, "What did you do to me." As calm as Zach, this was Zagel who had been avoiding Zach.
"Gift~" Papa Midnight pushed the fluffy mop-like braids on his cheeks, revealing the corners of his grinning mouth, "It's for you~"
Zach pointed at himself and said in confirmation, "Give it to me." Because he was afraid that it would be him who was looking at him at midnight. Then he shrugged, "Okay, thank you." Looking at the, er, lotus flower on Zagel's chest, "Is it a mark? This will make it easier for me to find him."
Hamilton glared again, "We don't say thank you to anyone! Especially this..."
"What is this?" The mop covered Hamilton's head, "Be careful with your words~Vampire~" It was inertia. Even after the owner stopped, the braids that were still thrown forward covered Hamilton's cheeks, and the source was pulled back. , the tail end slapped Hamilton on the back of the head, and then rested on Hamilton's shoulders one by one.
It took a full three seconds for Hamilton to withdraw from the braid that covered him, but his cheeks that seemed to be shaking uncontrollably were still feeling the close breathing of Papa Midnight just now.
Zach took a step forward and held Hamilton's waist. No matter what, it would be a shame for a vampire to collapse in front of Papa Midnight. Zach would not let this happen. He glanced at the other four people, Revro and Naina, who had probably already wanted to quit. De, supported Hamilton's waist, which had been completely straightened by Zach's support, and pushed towards Refro, motioning for Nenad to stand next to him.
Looking at Papa Midnight again, "You almost make me envious." Don't pay attention to Zach's words. Humans can probably keep up with his pace. Of course, if you want to follow, you can try it. "First Contact So close." Zach shook his head as if sighing, "Recalling our first encounter, we were separated by a grave of zombies, but in the end I didn't even see your shadow." He gave me a look that seemed to be contemptuous. Hamilton, supported by three Revroes, said, "Why?"
"Ha~" Papa Midnight's fingers were wrapped around his braid, and he leaned towards Zach, "Do you want it too?"
Feeling that Nenad next to him was tending to retreat, Zach glanced at him to stop this guy from continuing to show his shrinking. Then, Zach didn't care at all that Papa Midnight had already grabbed a piece of his fluffy braid and swept it on his shoulder.
Don't pay too much attention to this kind of boring little action, even Papa midnight can't play it for too long. It was only when Papa Midnight found that his fluffy braids didn't want to leave Zach's shoulders, oh, this season, it is easy to generate static electricity... Papa Midnight stepped back a little, and had the distance to have a normal conversation.
Still smiling, looking at Zach, "I don't think envy is your real emotion~"
"Then what do you think it should be?" Zach actually asked. You can feel how weird this is. Zach is asking the other person what his emotions should be.
Papa Midnight chuckled, turned around, and put his arm around Zager, who had no ability to resist, "Why don't we let this one, 'you', answer~"
Zach glanced at Zagel. The wooden model had no expression. His only way of expression was to speak.
"If you want me to refute Zach, you will be disappointed, Papa Midnight." Zagel started with these words, "Envy, very accurate." The voice was calm.
"Really?" Papa raised his eyebrows at midnight, "I thought it would be more, well, how should I say, more..." It seemed like he was thinking carefully about the words, "more intense~"
It was still Zager who responded, "It won't get more intense." Still calmly, "You, afraid of midnight, 'that, Papa Midnight' (colloquial bold font), the first time you met Zach, You don't even want to show up because you think it's unnecessary, you just want to have some fun. This is what 'gods' do, isn't it, to find fun for lower creatures. Simply take it from Grande who can't resist you Walking around, it’s too boring, you want something interesting, werewolves, vampires, wizards, your favorite combination. You don’t want to show up, connect a game with walking zombies and dead apostles, you just sit somewhere and watch good.."
"That's it." Zach agreed with a smile. This is sincere. After all, it is another self who is speaking. I couldn't agree more. And don’t think of this as another form of Zach’s narcissism. This is a fact, recall it, this is the fact. Benjamin's Matthew, Zach's Ian, Sibella's Ravenci. Something to take away from Papa Midnight when he first enters our story.
The traps and calculations that lead Grande by the nose are just a game where you put some chess pieces and watch.
"Then the second time, you started to hide yourself." Zagel paused briefly to give Zach and laughter room to escape. "Hahaha." The two 'Zacks' cooperated well, "Alice 's videotape. I believe that if it weren't for the confirmation of the trip to the Republic provided by our Sabbat, giving you a reason to show up, you would have remained secretive."
Do you still remember the disappearance of Old Mel’s grandson
Zach: "The point is coming soon." It's still up to Zager.
"The third time, you showed up in person, at James's house." Zagel was helping us go through every intersection between Papa Midnight and Zach. "You made a proposal, which was rejected (the funeral industry shut down for the God of the Republic).”
"The fourth time, and now the fifth time." Zager was almost at the end of what he could say. "The trend driving your behavior pattern is already very clear, Papa Midnight. In the beginning, you could play the game at will, Later, you felt the need to be secretive, then you felt the need to appear in person for the proposal, and now." The model moved her head with difficulty, trying to look at the lotus on her chest, "I also prepared a gift. It can only mean that One thing, Zach, the position in your mind is constantly improving." Giving up, Zagel's neck was not made for bowing his head, "Envy is the most intense emotion that can give you. Because it's just here Barton's recent Hamilton Lesembra did not go through Zach's step-by-step progress for more than half a year. Just by virtue of his identity as Sabbat Lesembra, he came here in one step and completed face-to-face intimate contact with you. Envy."
"You're missing something, Zagel," Zach reminded.
"Oh. Sorry." Zagar seemed to be sincerely apologizing, "I don't have much sense of vampires, so I probably don't know much about it, so I ignored that among vampires, no one wants to have close contact with you, Papa, at midnight. Sorry, so to make it up, I’m almost envious.”
The silence lasted for a few seconds, and Papa Midnight began to pick at the, er, lotus flower on Zager's chest. "Now I want to take back my gift..." Nothing strange happened. Papa Midnight picked at it a few times and wrinkled it. His eyebrows twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched. Apart from inlaying some wood chips into his nails, he accomplished nothing.
Zach looked back at Oz, who was still standing behind him.
Oz resisted for a moment, but seemed to have no choice. He walked out behind Zach with a sullen face, keeping his body sideways and vigilant at all times, and took Zagel away from Papa Midnight's arms, "Please don't damage my toy. .”
Of course, Zach pays the most attention to the etiquette of the guest of honor, right? The responsibility of maintaining his own finances is naturally left to the owner here.
Papa fiddled with his nails at midnight and didn't stop him. This can only mean that either his behavior is just for fun, or it is really a gift that cannot be recycled, and there is no point in him continuing to pick it up.
Seeing Oz holding Zagar and retreating to the corner, the only ones facing Papa Midnight were Zach and Nenad. Zach looked at Nenad. This guy had already shown his extraordinary understanding once in front of Zach. He was a smart guy. Whether he can seize the new opportunity depends on now.
Nenad and Zach looked at each other for a while, their eyes changed once, and they naturally resisted. The other party was Papa Midnight, Zagar, the guy who originally wanted to die, naturally he dared to say so much, and he Nainad also wanted to live forever. Look at Hamilton, he still hasn’t recovered yet! And what did Hamilton do? It's just to express the belief position that Sabbat has always held!
Zach's indicating gaze did not change. It is said that opportunities come to those who are prepared, but unfortunately, there are no more candidates to take the opportunity on Zach's side. Nenad was the only performer.
Nenad's face darkened, and he turned away from Zach's eyes and looked at Papa Midnight, "Say your proposal, Papa Midnight."
Nenad’s understanding did not disappoint Zach
That's enough setting up, isn't it? Zagel concluded that Zach's position was improving, which determined the way Papa Midnight and Zach would face each other. If Papa wanted to have fun at midnight, wanted to do something secretly, and looked down upon the people in this apartment as inferior creatures, he would not show up here in person.
Papa glanced at Nainad at midnight, just one glance, then turned away and fell on Zach, "I still hope to discuss it with you."
"Haven't you heard, I'm a member of the Sabbat." Zach shrugged, "I still feel a little like a newcomer. Unfortunately, these guys..." His eyes swept over Hamilton and Revro, and stopped at He stood on Oz and shook his head, "It seems that he has temporarily forgotten that he still represents the Sabbat." There was obvious disappointment in his tone, especially because he stayed on Oz for the longest time, so it was more obvious.
Hamilton, the third generation of Lesembra bloodline, is no longer a threat to Zach's status as a Sabbat in Barton, and the Pheasant Emperor, who wants to be both emperor and wild, must be stepped down by Oz.
How could Zach let go of such a good opportunity
Finally, his eyes returned to Nenad, and what he said was to Papa Midnight, "There is only one left, please be gentle."
"Haha." Then, "Haha~ You actually want me to cooperate with you~" Papa moved his braids at midnight and showed the corners of his grinning mouth again, "Okay~ I will cooperate with you~ because I don't want you to push too far~ "do not understand the meaning? No rush, "After all, you have a bottom line regarding the value of the Sabbat that cannot be pushed past~"
Going back to what he said when he appeared here, "You must be more useful than Eli Tori~ You cannot let the disadvantages of your existence be greater than a certain bottom line of the Sabbat~"
"Thank you for considering me." Papa said it so straightforwardly at midnight, and Zach didn't mince words, "But I don't need to, I know very well where the Sabbat's bottom line is, and I won't cross it. "
Oh, now that we have said that, then, a little common sense, pheasants will not compete with poultry for food, right? There is only one bottom line that Zach wants to keep. It is enough not to go to the real Sabbat, the west, to demand rights and resources. Zach does not need to. The population of the Toledo clan does not include those who do not want to know other vampires. General, you can count them all on ten fingers...
On the other hand, if you look at Eli Toledo's clan, you can try and find a reason why he doesn't need to ask for it.
Papa shook his mop at midnight, a smile leaked out from the gaps in each braid, and looked at Nenad, "Actually, it's not a suggestion, it's just a favor to do you, a mutually beneficial favor~" Maybe it was intentional, He speaks slowly, but it has already been described in the description of the future by a dream demon we know who has been trapped in a so-called independent and solidified world.
"I want, Eli Toledo and his clan~" (..)
