Zach was in a dilemma, and Old Hank gave him a difficult task. Vertex 23S. The fastest update and Madison also started to enter a very annoying state.
Zach regretted his promise to Madison not to ask him why he came to live in Grande. However, every time Zach wanted to go back on his promise and ask questions, Madison was always able to tactfully avoid it. Gee, this feeling is indescribable. It's like Madison has mastered some secret. He tap dances perfectly on Zach's bottom line, constantly trampling Zach's patience, but never reaching the limit.
As the afternoon passed, Zach began to notice some patterns. Although Madison always wore a hat, the brim of the hat would occasionally rise when he scratched an itch. Zach stared at the leaking curls, which were sometimes green and sometimes blue. Sometimes white, sometimes gray... Every time it changed, Zach knew it was better to give up. Madison must have changed the future and avoided something.
Madison's new ability is really disgusting.
When Alice's little pink finally came back, Madison, who had been clinging to Zach, was actually more excited than Zach. She was immediately ready to rush out to greet him, but Zach grabbed him back and checked the leaked handful first. Did Mao change his color? He didn't. "What are you so excited about?"
"No, it's nothing!" Tsk, it changed. In an instant, purple turned red, "Don't you have something to say to Alice? She's still angry with you! I'll scream for you!"
Gee, that’s disgusting.
Zach gave up and let Madison go.
While Madison went to call Alice, Zach went to the recreation room. In order for the conversation between the brother and sister to proceed in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, Zach needs the blessing of 'Cook's Kitchen' to at least keep Alice in a good mood.
Because of the relationship between these high school clubs, Alice attends Parker Elementary School, and Alice misses the Cook's Kitchen broadcast when she goes home every day, but it doesn't matter. Zach knew that Mo would record the day's program for Alice every day.
All Zach has to do is find today's video...
too difficult. Just like humans, you can't know what the other person tastes without actually taking a bite. Zach looked at the boxes of identical video tapes and could only insert one at random to try.
Looking at the blue screen, Zach frowned, "Why is there no picture?"
"Because you erased the video." Alice came in, and Madison hung at the door.
"Really?" Zach wanted to struggle, "Isn't the play button the origin button?"
"The playback button is the triangle button." Alice said without any tone, and with one operation that dazzled Zach, the videotape was ejected. Alice calmly looked at the videotape in her hand, "Today's."
"Uh, sorry, I thought..." Before Zach could finish his sentence, Alice had already turned around and left.
"I'm going to do my homework."
Harmonious and friendly brothers and sisters.
Zach watched Alice go out, turn around and disappear in the corridor, and soon, the sound of the door closing appeared. Zach sighed.
The sound of the door opening appeared. Maya glanced at Zach as she passed the recreation room door and said, "Huh." Who knows what he meant.
After a while, while Zach was still flipping through the manual and trying to fix this high-tech, Maya passed by the door again and glanced at Zach, "Humph." This time she paused, "Don't bother, there is no restore function. .”
"Yeah, it's so inhumane." Zach also glanced sideways at Maya. The girl was holding a dinner plate for two people and was obviously going back to Alice's room for dinner.
Maya seemed not ready to leave for a moment, and she pushed Madison away from the door with a girlish dislike, "Tell me what you are going to do with Alice, and I will help you pass on the message."
Zach was so moved, "Hank proposed to recreate the Indian burial for Sam..." Zach had noticed Maya rolling her eyes to the sky, "What's wrong, is there any problem?"
Maya leaned against the door frame, not forgetting to continue to dislike Madison, before facing Zach, "Do you really think it is wise to start your words to Alice with Old Hank? I thought you were very smart, Dear Toledo .”
Who did I learn it from? It was definitely Kepler!
"Okay, then, Grande intends to recreate the traditional Indian funeral..." Zach saw Maya's eyes roll again and curled his lips, "So what?"
"I understand." Now, I definitely learned it from Sissi, "Your cleverness is all used to make me proud. The rhetorical incident will not change the fact that you did something wrong. You There is only one standard answer at the beginning, think, Mr. Grande."
That last title was definitely a reminder to Zach. Zach understood and started over, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ignored your feelings and decided the future without authorization." Zach only thought he was saying it to Alice, "I apologize for all my unauthorized actions."
Maya was satisfied this time and nodded, "Go on."
"Funeral funerals in the Federation, regardless of race, are in accordance with the beliefs of the Holy Lord. As a symbol of the funeral reform, Grande should make iconic actions. Thanks to Mo, Allen Funeral has a set of satisfactions The funeral process required by the republican immigrants, the Indians who have been living here should also have their own funeral process."
Maya listened and thought for a moment, "It's been four centuries. Isn't it a little late for you to think of this now? Toledo."
It's also wonderful, why is Maya not called 'Zach' today.
"I never thought I would think about this kind of thing." Zach had nothing to deny. "Vampires and funerals are things that cannot possibly overlap. Four centuries ago, I was busy consolidating the country, and no one would think about it. Things about dead people. As for the next twenty years of life..." Zach was talking about the validity period of vampire status, "I won't have the chance to think about this."
"Old Hank's idea?" Maya asked.
"So, Mo mentioned it, and Bain and Matthew helped." The truth.
"What does Old Hank want?" Maya frowned, obviously wary, "What benefits can he get?"
Zach shook his head slightly, but this did not mean denial. It was what made this task difficult for Zach. "A sense of belonging. After all, Alice is an Indian. Just like you." Zach shrugged. , "When I hear about the traditional funeral rites of the Indians, I will subconsciously accuse me of being late. Obviously, the act of restoring the Indian funeral has an effect on the hearts of the Indians."
Maya lowered her head, "Of course it works. Do you think that when we die, we will be willing to listen to a group of believers in thieves who say that our souls will be stolen to another world." Hey, thieves, he is obviously saying If you believe in the Holy Lord, will your soul be stolen to another world? It must be the soul that the priest or priest can only say in his prayers, and it will go to heaven.
Think about it, the Indians for four centuries have lived a very miserable life, and even after they die, they will be disgusted by the faith of the Holy Lord.
Maya clicked her tongue, "I would rather become a wandering spirit than go to the world you believe in!"
"Me too." Zach followed. To liven up the atmosphere, we know that Zach can't go even if he wants to, and vampires have no connection with any soul-related life forms.
Maya curled her lips and said, "Okay, I'll pass the message for you." So when she said she was going to pass the message to Zach, was she just trying to find a chance to mock him? Hey, "The school happens to need an end-of-semester project, we can do this, so we don't have to do it again." Go and think about it.”
Zach has no problem with it. Maya's 'we' are obviously the complete high school group. Not only are Laura's gang convenient for linking up with the West District and finding Mrs. Quinn, but they can also disgust the saint Sissi.
Maya turned around to leave, then suddenly turned her head and raised an eyebrow, "This will not make Si Bella unhappy."
"How to say?"
"Aren't you cursing the Indians to death? If this restored funeral rite is to be applied... Now, the densest concentration of Indians in Badun is the wizards in Paisying. The Sabbat gave the Indians ten years of safety How many Indian funerals were held in the Rio Grande during that period, and how many Indians died in Pais Mile."
There is nothing to say about this inversion of cause and effect. Fortunately, the meaning is relatively easy to understand.
"It doesn't have to be held if it's restored." Zach curled his lips, "It can also be used for promotion. The point is that Grande intended to do it, and it's an achievement."
"Yes." Maya seemed to be in a good mood, responded softly, and left with the dinner that had long since gone cold. Don’t forget to dislike Madison again.
There was no need for Zach to stay in the recreation room. This mission has been passed by. I hope that my relationship between vampires and funerals can also be conveyed. As Old Hank wanted, it at least explained from the side that Zach, a vampire, does not belong to the future here after all, and Alice , you can really make achievements here and for Grande, right
After leaving the entertainment room, Zach still has one thing to do today, so he can run to Mary Church to accompany Louise under the cover of darkness. Grande is really bored now!
Looking at Sires on the back porch, who had forgotten the time and worked until now on his first day back at work, "Look for an opportunity to tell Nenad that the information Hamilton concealed is about the secret of the Zmich messenger, and let him feedback it to The Cappadocia clan of the Sabbat can investigate secretly. I can’t tell you the details. You and Nenad should also be careful and don’t let Hamilton find out that I leaked this matter.”
As a messenger, Sires does not need to understand what Zach means, just do it.
Sires nodded, which could be regarded as a reassurance to Zach, "Mokavi is teaching me and Briar to control blood, don't worry, I won't let Hamilton (Lesenbra) find out what we said between us. "
This reminded Zach, and he raised his eyebrows, "Speaking of blood control, this technique is very specific to Lesembra's ability to obtain blood information. I can't see anything from Hamilton, but from the Sabbat in the west, Is there any action on blood control techniques? Is it to be promoted or banned? Let Nenad find out."
Sires answered now, "Semi-forbidden." He recalled to Zach, "Nenad seemed to have mentioned that in order to complete the sniper killing when the abandoned vampire Eli returned to the west, the Sabbat selected A group of second-generation vampires practice blood control skills, but it is only limited to these selected vampires and has not spread."
Zach raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it okay for Mokawi to teach you?" Briar is also a second-generation Mokawi after all, and Siris is only a fourth-generation Cappadocia. Nenad and Hamilton were both third generations.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Nenad, Hamilton, and the three Revro are also practicing. The Sabbat allowed Barton's subordinates to practice blood control." He hesitated here, "Because there is an almost The complete Nofeiler clan branch has all mastered blood control skills, and we need more skills."
"Yeah." Zach pursed his lips and nodded, which was understandable. Suddenly he wanted to help Siris, "How are you mastering it? Show me, maybe I have some tricks..." Zach shut up. Because, Siris did as he was told, and except for the weak bloodline suppression that was probably unrecognizable except Eli's bloodline, Zach could no longer feel Siris in front of him.
This former farmer's mastery of blood control surpassed Zach's.
Zach's eyes twitched, "Tell me. Mokavi didn't teach you through gluttony."
There are two ways to practice blood control, hunger used by Zach, and gluttony, a quick method commonly used by the descendants of Eli.
Sires looked a little embarrassed, "No, Brielle mastered it very quickly. Then, we... uh, we did a lot of blood exchange, and she used Fanzhuo's ability. I don't quite understand the principle of blood control. , but, I, that’s all I know how to do it.” I was already embarrassed to look at Zach, “But I’m not that skilled, I can still feel your suppression, it’s by blood.”
kindness. How to explain that vampires feel suppressed by their bloodline.
Temperature. Hot is hot, cold is cold. Vampires with the same bloodline level can perceive each other with the same body temperature. High is hot, low is cold. Based on the transfer of heat from high to low, vampire bloodline suppression also occurs from high to low.
Zach didn't have to do anything, and Cyrus could feel the energy emanating from Zach that was higher than his own. That's probably how it feels. The same goes for the opposite. Although Zach can no longer accurately perceive Sires in front of him, there is an instinct for a creature that is frightened by him. It's just there in the field of vision, in the instinct, but not in the rational perception.
It was a weird experience for both parties.
Zach waved his hand and said, "You don't have to control yourself anymore. Go home." I couldn't say the words 'Let Briar and Nenad exchange blood when I have time'. Well, I felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
But Zach realized something again. It seems that the scope of application of Eli's blood control skills has been greatly reduced except for his clan. This skill can only be used to defend against Lesembula and catch him by surprise. After everyone knows, It started to make no sense.
Zach made a decision. If he really had the chance to go to the West to hang out with the Devil's Banquet, his social circle would be limited to second-generation vampires to maximize the sensory shielding brought about by blood control.
"I can make the breath of your blood disappear completely." Sam, the thimble in his pocket, suddenly spoke, of course, after Siris had left.
"What?"
"Witch potion, isolation." Do you remember this thing? "This thing is not difficult to make, but the materials are a little troublesome. Sibella has it. If you want, I can prepare a few copies. And it's not Maggie's very special one. Quickly consumable items made by wizards. When I was protecting the wolves that lost their Alphas, I improved many of these preventive items. I believe you understand how smelly Benjamin is after each transformation." Uh... This is not where Benjamin and Zach once were. Warm and everyday, but a fact, especially if Benjamin's wolf body has been eaten, the smell will be very 'charming', "I helped Sibella get Rimel's Tower of Babel, she owes me."
"Then let's go to Paisiying first, and then go to the church~" Zach decided.
"I'm going with you!" Uh, Madison.
