The following is from Linda's super-fast and non-ventilating narration. I have added punctuation for easier understanding: "When Eli Toledo was still alive, after scaring me away, he went to Darcy and proposed to him to immediately Straightforwardly give him eternal life, and in return ask Darcy to complete the agreement reached by you, James and Mayor Anthony. The mayor monitors Barton from the top of Barton, which is the superstructure, and the police department monitors the movements of citizens from the middle and lower levels, and we reach it together. The goal of total control of Barton is the same as yours, to prevent Barton from being controlled by other alien races, especially the Sabbat. Apex 23S. The fastest update. Don't put on that fake shocked face at me, I'm talking about the Sabbat. .”
The only time in this narrative, he took a deep breath and continued: "Darcy said that Eli mentioned to him what he would do when he completed the last Sabbat task and received the reward to become a vampire. Eli told Darcy objectively. Sita could only become Cappadocia, the bottom class of Sabbat vampires. After accumulating countless credits for the Sabbat through more than a dozen cycles of inheritor life, he finally got a person who would continue to live forever and work for the Sabbat and be despised by eternal life. The reward, how stupid, how pitiful. Accept Eli's proposal to become an immortal vampire now, immediately, immediately, no longer consider working for the Sabbat, and complete the consolidation of Barton's power with the current saturation of the number of Barton vampires. In Zachary Toledo, you, under the general situation you have created, let us all work together to be the master of this city."
After another fresh breath, Linda took a deep breath, then flicked off the hanging cigarette ashes, "Give me a moment."
Zach, with a satisfied expression on his face, made a "please take it as you please" expression.
Contentment is natural. There is nothing more vain than knowing that a guy is trying to imitate everything about himself as closely as possible.
What's left after vanity is removed makes Zach, well, happy? Because it sounds like Eli has a pretty clear idea of Barton's situation.
This also explains Eli's various actions during that time period. Do you have any impressions? He successively visited Linda, Alpha Benjamin, and Mayor Anthony in front of him. Eli is systematically advancing his idea for Barton.
It also made Zach wonder what would have happened if, just if, he hadn't faked his own death before Eli even came.
But this is meaningless curiosity, reality has already given the answer, Eli's death was faked. This city, this federation, has room for only one kind of Toledo.
While Linda was taking a breath, Jason had vomited out everything he could, but he didn't come over. We don’t know whether it was conscious or whether she sensed Linda’s malice. The precious thing is that he knows that no matter what Linda and Zach are talking about, it is definitely not what he should listen to.
as well as
He searched around for a while and then started to enter the nursing home. After a while, he was silently cleaning the dirty space there with a broom and trash can.
Tell the truth. Apart from the fact that he once joined a violent organization astray, there is nothing worth hating about this person.
Linda was either idle, or her mind was distracted when she was breathing slowly, "Tsk! Look at him! He knows that he has no meaning in existence unless he does something!" Based on the fact that Linda had just denied Jason's 'thing' The existence of living things has meaning, so this sentence should be a sentence of malice from the bottom of the heart.
Zach really didn't want to discuss these things with Linda because he knew some consensus couldn't be reached.
"Are you feeling better? Let's continue."
Linda rolled her eyes and returned to Zach, "I just said that Eli promised Darcy to become a vampire." This time it is a return to the normal narrative. The first two paragraphs can be regarded as the premise, and now it is the explanation and follow-up. , requires interaction, "But his proposal to Darcy is not his descendants, but the existing vampire clan in Barton."
This made Zach raise his eyebrows, "Optional?"
"Eli's most recommended choice for Darcy is you, a true Toledo bloodline." Linda curled her lips, "Louise from Grande, the 'General' from Southeast. The reason was also explained to Darcy. , do you want to explain or can you think of it yourself?"
Zach thought for a while, "I can probably guess that the first thing is convenience. Eli obviously wants Darcy to continue to be the police chief who needs to be exposed in Barton. He needs Toledo's ability, whether it is day travel or Image. Then, there is the relationship with Ian who is beside Papa Midnight."
Linda nodded, "Becoming Toledo means becoming a member of the thirteen clans and gaining the necessary recognition in the Sabbat. On the other hand, it involves Papa's invisible protection at midnight. The Sabbat has studied you. After various incidents, at least one conclusion can be drawn. Papa Midnight has a special, eh, affection (neutral word) for Toledo. Toledo alienated wizards and werewolves, and Toledo helped save the banshee. )." Slightly contemptuously, "Ian Toledo's identity is special enough. He is the younger brother of Mayor Anthony. Anthony has special feelings for you. To sum up, becoming Toledo means Darcy's love for Darcy in Barton. The future is the best.”
"But it's not a mandatory requirement, right?" Zach tried to ask, "If Darcy wants to become another vampire, is that okay? After all, Eli gives him a choice." Zach's original intention is actually to stimulate Putting Linda down means that the options Eli gave her were not so abundant.
Linda didn't expect, "The second suggestion was Gangro, because he has Sissi's protection, and Darcy needs the imaging ability given by Sissi. The third suggestion was Rimmer, because of the relationship between magic and witchcraft. Foo's friendly relationship with Sibella and the Black Witch can provide Darcy with witchcraft support."
When Zach heard this, he smiled and added, "Eli is really caring. He has helped Darcy figure out any way." It was ironic, since it was all about seeking shelter anyway.
Linda ignored it, "The last one is Novel, whom Eli has seen all the time. He strongly advised Darcy not to choose Nofile."
Zach chuckled and waved his hand. He knew the reason, so he said, "It's because Eli and Nofel have a grudge, right?"
It is a complement and an affirmation, “irreconcilable.”
I didn't realize it, but at the end of the day, Linda's choice of words seemed to completely omit the vampire force that currently has the highest 'power' in Barton's theory, Mokavi. But forget it, don't mention it to everyone. Zach can worry about this for a while, so what's the rush? Now there are important points to pay attention to now. Before the conversation began, Linda expressed a conclusion in an irritated manner: Darcy probably wouldn't come, right? Want to know the reason
It started with Zach taking over the question that had just been interrupted, "It doesn't sound like Darcy rejected Eli's promise on the spot." He realized that if Darcy stood firm when Eli ran up to him In an instant, he said, "I won't listen to anything you say. I don't want to end up running away like Linda." He also chose first and second... Well, there is no way Linda can tell Zach here. possible.
Linda looked at Zach and said, "You have grasped the point. Darcy did not reject Eli's proposal."
Zach smiled and nodded, "But I guess he didn't agree, right? He needs time to think about it."
"Yes. Consider it." Linda rolled her eyes, not at Zach, but at Darcy who would not come. "After considering it, Eli, who provided him with these options, hung up."
This is a bit of a bad joke, in every sense of the word.
It's okay, Zach's smile can make this joke warm~ "Just tell Darcy directly what he is thinking about. What is he really hesitating about? Now that you have come to me, and you have bothered not to show up, let you do it The messenger who says these things, don’t hold back, just say it.”
"Would you like to seize this opportunity?" Linda threw away the cigarette butt that had burned to her butt, and pressed it with her high heels. "Seize the opportunity to be forced to make a choice by Eli knowing that you are still alive."
Zach nodded, "Because he knows he can't escape like you." After saying that, Zach will warm up, "He is already so close to eternal life. If he escapes from Barton, there will be nothing. He can't leave. And stay in Barton, in When I hide on purpose and you cowardly leave, he will face Eli's, hehe, 'threat'."
"You said he shouldn't hurt me by the way!" He simply expressed his dissatisfaction and continued to take out a cigarette from the flat cigarette case... Zach took it directly and threw it to Jason who was cleaning up the dirt in the distance. He was very accurate and hit one Sticky.
Linda's eyes twitched twice, but she continued, "But that's what it means! Both sides are becoming immortals, and the result is no difference to Darcy in terms of minimum expectations."
Zach tilted his head, "But Eli raised Darcy's expectations." The eternal life given by the Sabbat can only be from Cappadocia at the bottom~ What Eli gave is optional~
"Yes! If you seize this opportunity, Darcy will not have any reason to be blamed by the Sabbat. He is an innocent person implicated in your plan! He insists on staying in Barton in order to complete the Sabbat's mission in Barton. No. Escape, this is his loyalty to the Sabbat! And this loyalty can at least buy him the forgiveness of not becoming a Sabbat vampire! He can get all the benefits, and then he doesn’t have to bear the consequences!"
Zach is about to reveal a certain philosophical question about the human heart. "Everything sounds good, but he still hesitates, which is only cowardice. Darcy is afraid of change, even if all the clues point to the bright future after change." "
Linda stopped talking and started picking at her nails as she had no cigarette in her hand.
After being quiet for a while, Zach spoke again with that warm smile, "It seems that the opportunity for change has been missed. What's the point of bringing this up now?"
"Because I'm back." When Linda lowered her head, she glanced at her belly and immediately turned away, rolling her eyes downwards. Have you seen it before? You must have experienced it, "I'm pregnant." , I told him."
"oh?"
"Tsk. I just wanted to ask him for advice." It seemed that he was talking about something irritating, "I don't have anyone I can trust in Barton anymore."
You can list them. James Lance? Have you forgotten what happened in Grande last time? Linda has nothing to say to James. Seductress Riley? How did Cliff get cheated? Yes, Riley has found a new best friend, Fiona Falcon, so Riley was dumped with a 'high energy' man while drunk.
Riley shook his head and didn't know where his eyes were drifting. "I guess my unknown situation has become a switch for Darcy's change of mentality." He unexpectedly calmed down. "Compared to my current situation where I am full of unknowns about the future. , he fully realized the stupidity of letting go of the opportunity because of cowardice when he could clearly see everything in the future."
"Remedy?" Zach could only interact with this tentative question.
"You can think so." Linda waved her hand, "That's why I want to find you."
"Looking for me? I can't think of the point of looking for me. This opportunity has disappeared with Eli being dealt with by the Sabbat..." Don't underestimate Zach, there was no change in his face when he said this, "I can't unilaterally An opportunity to recreate this all-beautiful thing.”
"You can." Linda's fingers had a tendency to move, but it was just a tendency. As soon as she lifted her finger, she put it down. After looking at the door of the nursing home behind Zach, he turned back and his voice became cold, "Darcy initiated this matter. He can't expect me to do everything he said he would do for him!"
Zach didn't have to look back. Benjamin and Mokavi came out hand in hand. He could feel it. But he hoped that he would not sense it. Unfortunately, one was the alpha werewolf who would always affect the vampire's perception, and the other was the ancestor of the Thirteenth Clan due to his superiority in blood. It was Zach's irresistible instinct to sense these two. How wonderful it is to think about the talent of Eli Toredo, a motley vampire clan~
"Jason! Are you the cleaner!" Linda was already calling Jason, not hiding her malice. Something that touches the core cannot be concealed, "Go home!!"
Zach's politeness can only be used as a reason for him to delay for a while to see a certain opponent holding hands, "Goodbye Linda, goodbye Jason."
"Bye, Zach." Jason replied, and Linda was already revving the engine.
Closer, "You bought a new car? Not bad." It was Benjamin, with the usual tone.
Having no choice but to look, Zach turned around and took Benjamin's hand to open the door for Mokawi, "What are you doing? It's my old habit. You drive, I'm the passenger, and the guests are in the back seat." It was only a moment that the two guys could be separated. Zach was so desperate.
Even more desperate, "No~ I'll drive~ You all sit in the back seat~ Haha, there are not many opportunities like this~ You have to cherish it~ And ah~ The two of you need to have a good talk, don't be distracted~ Safety first ~"
What's the meaning
There are not many opportunities that need to be cherished. Before the trailer, Benjamin said that Mokawi would make the final decision on whether to move out of Grande. Is there any result yet
Is the need to have a good talk and stay safe a warning that Zach won't be happy about what they're going to talk about
