During lunch, Pochquin next door invited people from Grande to visit again. Vertex 23S. The fastest update. This time, the Bain family was also invited.
Let’s just skip the neighborhood social activities and start with something worth caring about~
"Where's Mrs. Quinn?" Zach asked Porky.
"Down here." Porchi looked at Zach, "It's about time you got rid of the title 'Mrs. Quinn'. When are you going to call her 'daughter'?" It was obvious that Porchi wanted to expose Zach's hypocrisy.
"Yeah." Zach's counterattack was always so accurate, "When you're ready, call me great-grandfather."
Porky emptied his glass and walked away. Yes, walk away like a wounded rabbit.
"I'll go with you." Louise prepared to join Zach. "I'll go too." Russell and Logan seemed to agree.
"No, I'll just go down alone." Zach made the decision, "Louise keep an eye on Pochi, and you go and stay with Bain's family."
The basement of Porch's house. There are three rooms, one is a normal wine cellar. Well, after all, he is Quinn's only heir, so there is no need to say more about this. Behind the wine cellar is a secret room full of blood and strange artifacts. This is where Papa Midnight is summoned. As a god who has influenced the Indian race for who knows how long, Papa's way of responding to his believers at midnight is very, very traditional and typical...sacrifice.
Then pass through the cold corridor and reach the last room. It's considered a normal storage room. But unlike the accumulation of old things in ordinary households, most of the items stored here are brand-new daily necessities, food and the like. It's understandable that Pochi hasn't lived here long, so he doesn't have any old things. As for storing so many daily necessities
"I regret it." Mrs. Queen stood in front of a mirror. This seems to have become a necessary process for Zach's descendants. But Mrs. Queen wasn't practicing her vampire skills, she was in a daze, "I didn't eat enough when I was human."
Mrs. Quinn looked back at Zach, and casually twitched a box of cereal from the pile of food, "What is this, spicy and sour cereal. Why do so many wonderful foods appear in the world when I can't eat them."
Zach took the box from Mrs. Quinn's hand and said, "You don't want to taste it. Matthew said it tastes like moldy biscuits with vinegar." He stuffed it back into place. At the same time, Zach also looked at the piled items, "Since you live here, you should help your grandson treat his wife's hoarding disorder."
Yes, these accumulated daily necessities were not bought by Boqi, but by Mu En. Yes ~ the wizard who once lived among wolves ~
"That's Amelia's job." Mrs. Quinn waved her hand and looked back at her mirror again. A black thing like a ball of thread was wrapped around two dots of red. Mrs. Quinn's progress is very slow, "Time is so slow. I can't wait for the night to come."
I don't know what was expected of Mrs. Queen after becoming a vampire. But I think if everyone uses a highly respected old lady as the continuation, everyone will be disappointed.
"Haha." Zach smiled and stood behind Mrs. Quinn, raised his hand and massaged Mrs. Quinn's shoulders, "We won't be running around with you tonight."
Apparently, Mrs. Quinn didn't take well to Zach's movements. However, after looking at the ball of black thread that belonged to him in the mirror, Zach's clear influence allowed Zach to act, "Why, we had a great time last night." Mrs. Quinn's wrinkled face There was a smile, of course, not shown in the mirror, "Especially with Matthew and Benjamin in the second half of the night..." Mrs. Quinn skipped it, with a look of satisfaction, "That kind of thrill, that kind of excitement! I never expected that I would This old body can still feel such pleasure!"
Again, beware of misunderstandings, Mrs. Quinn skipped nothing more than running. A newborn vampire, running with a werewolf under the full moon.
Zach kept smiling, "I don't know if you noticed, but not everyone was so happy yesterday. For example, Charlie."
"Ha! I noticed, I felt like he was about to vomit, when he was caught up by Benjamin~" At this point, Mrs. Quinn's mood was still high. But it will be gone soon.
"Of course. Charlie was probably chased by real wolves when he lived in the middle, and he knows what happens when he's caught by an alpha."
Mrs. Quinn's expression froze, staring at the only clear image of Zach in the mirror, "The thrill of being chased by a werewolf is fear, right?"
"Yes." Zach was satisfied that Mrs. Quinn understood, "It's in your blood. The only reason why you feel happy is because we are in Barton, and the ones chasing us are Benjamin and Matthew, what we can call People who are friends.”
Mrs. Quinn finished Zach's sentence, "But in the real, outside world of Barton, we would be committing suicide by 'visiting' a werewolf during a full moon."
"Yes."
Mrs. Quinn raised her hand to push away Zach's massage, and stopped looking at the mirror. She walked to one side and looked at the back door of the storage room with a bad expression. In addition to the passage through which Zach came, there were also other things in this storage room. A tunnel leading outside the confines of Pochi's home. Naturally, it was Mu En’s handiwork. An insecure wizard, isn't this why Emilia healed her~
"Mrs. Quinn, no matter what you are thinking, you can tell me." Zach was being a qualified puzzle solver. It should.
Mrs. Quinn didn't look at Zach, "Okay, first of all, you still call me madam." It sounded like whether Pochi was ready to recognize his great-grandfather, he was going to have one~ "Even if it's just standing in front of you , I feel this inversion of dignity."
"Okay, that's the question." Zach looked around, dragged a box of soap probably, and sat down, "You have to get used to it." Ha! Zack doesn't want great-grandchildren, "The social makeup of vampires is very different from humans because of how we look."
Mrs. Queen said nothing.
"The ethics established by immortal life and limited life cannot be the same. But there is a very helpless fact, 'vampires living among humans', this is the expression of existence in this world. 'Humans living among vampires' ',does not exist."
Can you understand? Mrs. Quinn just understood. She looked back at Zach and said, "It means that if one party has to submit to the ethics of the other, it can only be done by immortal vampires succumbing to the ethics of humans with limited lives."
Zach nodded, "The result is that the foundation of civilization, such as etiquette, is determined by the position that appearance occupies in limited life." The next words were a bit harsh, "You look old, you should get Respect."
"Hey." He sighed, which didn't sound good. "I feel uncomfortable." He began to pace in the crowded space. "When I was a human, I never had any problem with your title. And sometimes I'm also kind of, gee, smug that I'm having an immortal guy serve me."
Zach wanted to laugh a little, but held it back and signaled to Mrs. Quinn that it was okay.
"But now, I'm very confused." Mrs. Quinn glanced at Zach, "Every time you say 'ma'am,' I will take it for granted for a moment, then feel confused for a moment, and finally continue to be irritated."
"This is a feeling you have to get used to. The dignity of a vampire can only be expressed when your own life is in danger." Zach tilted his head, "Or, you are just hypocritical like me." Uh, "Most of the time , Human dignity and etiquette are the standards for our life in Toledo."
No matter what you think of Zach's words, I must say it fairly. This is Zach's careful cultivation of the next generation.
Mrs. Quinn was quiet for a moment and looked at Zach. Not to mention respect, she felt that if she could, she would probably slap Zach twice. "Why didn't you tell me this before?"
"Well." Zach thought for a while, "This is a good thing to get used to. Will it be greater than your hope of eternal life?" Zach smiled, "We have eternal time to get used to such small things~ "
Mrs. Quinn was quiet for another moment, "You have a point."
"Haha, think on the bright side, you are my descendant. There are not many people who would make you feel this confused." Now I think about what Zach said before the 'General' left Grande, 'You are the one except Barton. I am an invincible vampire~' Let's not take this too seriously.
"I'm still going out tonight." Mrs. Quinn seemed to have made up her mind.
"Okay, I'll pick you up after midnight." Zach's helplessness was because among his descendants, everyone felt that Zach would rather accompany Mrs. Quinn on a night out, or stay with Louise...at home.
"You probably don't want to follow me." Mrs. Quinn shook her head. "I want to visit Mokavi."
Zach curled his lips, "Why?"
"Curious, probably." Mrs. Quinn shook her head. Like Zach, she also dragged a box of unknown things and sat down. "You put vampires in my blood. The history of the Thirteen Clan, I have no idea about the other The clan is a little curious.”
"What's there to be curious about?" Zach really didn't understand. "You know, when you were still human." What Zach was talking about was that Mokawi came from Barton to lived in Barton. This process was not clear to Quinn. Do you all know
"Why did we choose Mokavi? 'Us'?" Ah, Mrs. Quinn has completely considered herself a member of Toledo, so, 'we'. The full sentence of this question is, 'Why did you choose the Mokavi clan when establishing the secret alliance? You don't like these lunatics.'
"Okay." Zach nodded, meaning that he was willing to answer this question, "The core question when I choose the members of the Secret Alliance is whether we can suppress the Sabbat."
"Very reasonable."
"We can't get Zmich," Zach began, "because I need Bruh with full strength."
"Bruch, the clan that Fanzhuo used as a watchdog." Mrs. Quinn was just saying what we already knew.
"Yes. So since it's impossible to get Zmich, I need a replacement."
"I get it, it's about Zmich having the ability to heal other body parts, and the Secret Alliance must acquire similar abilities to deal with that."
"Absolutely correct. I don't believe that Lesembula will abide by the rules of the thirteen clans on not violating each other's bodies. For the mission of the Holy Lord, he will do anything."
Mrs. Quinn nodded, "The war has just ended, and Zmich's strength has been damaged. You probably think you have the ability to change Mokavi." This can be regarded as Mrs. Quinn's attempt to reduce the appearance of this appearance in the blood. The respect of a 'father' who is only half his age, "You failed."
"Big failure." Zach shook his head helplessly, "How much time and energy were wasted on helping Mokawi establish human social relations and reserve resources. She." The corners of Zach's mouth twitched, "As the only one who is awake and with himself, She, the ancestor of clan life, was married to a painting.”
"So Mokavi has no contribution to the Hidden Alliance." Mrs. Quinn nodded slowly, "But there are not many useless clans like this in the Hidden Alliance, Gangro and Rimmer."
Zach looked at Mrs. Quinn, "As two clans who realized the shortcomings of the war during the war and then firmly left. Can I not choose?"
"It makes sense." Mrs. Quinn kept nodding. "I still want to visit Mokavi, as you said, the only awake clan ancestor." Of course I have to add, "Except for you."
"Then, be careful." This wasn't a boring thing about not being seen. "Well, I'll let Siris pick you up and back after get off work."
"Okay." Mrs. Quinn stood up and stood in front of the mirror again, "You can go up." She raised her eyebrows at Zach, "At dawn, Papa came at midnight."
"What did you say?"
"'Andrew (Boqi, Moon's son) is so cute.'" This is the quote, "And then he left."
"only this?"
"Only this." Mrs. Quinn was already looking back at the mirror intently.
Zach shrugged and turned back.
"Thank you." Thank you suddenly.
Zach turned back, "Thank you for what?"
"You're willing to stay in Barton just to teach me."
Don't ask yet.
Zach nodded, did not respond, and returned the same way.
What is a normal neighborhood gathering like? This is what it looks like now. The host and guests are happily shaking their wine glasses and talking casually together.
Zach was about to walk towards Bain. Mu En was chatting with Bain's wife in the backyard.
"You are really good with children!" The heartfelt praise came from Bain's wife, naturally after observing the parent-child interaction between Mu En and Andrew.
"Thank you~" This is a compliment that every mother is happy to accept.
"I also hope that I can have such a big yard so that my children can move around when they grow up." It was probably an unintentional sigh.
"Grand's yard is very big. Haha, it's much bigger than ours." Mu En answered the question probably unintentionally.
Unintentional became intentional, but I continued anyway.
"Oh." Bain's wife was a little embarrassed, "It's quite big, but, but... those people..." She turned her eyes to her husband, who was already glaring at her, and became quiet.
Mu En noticed it, and it was unexpected but not surprising. He grabbed Bain's wife's hand and said, "I understand." He said extremely sincerely, "Believe me, I understand! As a mother, I know that my child is in an unsafe environment." What it feels like to grow up! I understand it so well!”
"Uh..." Bain's wife was hiding, "I, I won't talk about those people in Grandry..."
"Don't be afraid! We are here! We won't let your child come to any harm!"
Zach’s forward steps took a turn, it’s better not to go~
