With Dale gone, Zach alone had to do the work of sorting out the vampire blood customers. Vertex 23S. The fastest update was during the process of sorting it out, two waves of customers came. Two waves of 'dirty' guests, as they both left something behind at Zach's place.
I won’t mention the process of receiving guests, just start looking at it from now on.
Zach was in the living room organizing client files as the study room was given over to Nick arranging the redevelopment of the Hermann brand.
"That's how it all started."
The camera was focused on the information in front of Zach, completely blocking Zach's view. Zach glanced at Dog Brother, turned away the camera, and continued to organize.
The camera zooms out a little, and the narration continues, "Humans are seduced by the idea that the blood of these creatures can cure everything."
Zach looked at Dog Brother again, "You said, 'temptation'?"
The camera moved from the data file to Zach, and Zach could clearly see the focus of the camera being adjusted, "Well, do you have anything to add?"
"No." Zach stopped stopping his dog brother from filming him a long time ago. "There's just a problem. Yesterday you said that humans accepted vampires because vampires opened up the west. Now it's changed to this?" He pointed at the human purchase in front of him. Vampire blood information.
"The first step is to open up wasteland, and the second is to seduce humans with blood. Together." Gou Di curled his lips, "This has created the current status of vampires in the West."
Zach smiled, lowered his head and continued to sort out the information, "If you want to make a documentary for future generations, you'd better be more detailed."
"Thanks for the reminder." The dog brother showed no expression. The camera stayed on Zach for half a minute, probably thinking about how to express the 'detailed' proposed by Zach.
With this, "Vampires live forever, and humans can forget everything in three or four generations. So in addition to the credit for pioneering wasteland, vampires need a way to continue to influence humans. This is it, blood." After saying this, it can be considered as a detailed record that meets the needs of the record. , then turned away, stayed on the working housekeeper for a while, and finally moved towards the window.
"It won't be shown on the screen, but." Dog Brother continued to narrate, "There are at least 8 vampires who just appeared in front of the camera. They are Cappadocia, the lowest vampire clan among vampires."
Zach didn't look up, "You're wrong. Well, no, it's not accurate..."
The camera returned to Zach, looking very artistically at Zach's profile, capturing the relaxed profile of Zach's face as he spoke, "Broadly speaking, there is no real status distinction between vampires. This is easy to understand. . They are all a group of guys who live forever. No one wants to be placed in a lower position..." Zach glanced sideways at the camera, gave a smile, and turned back, "Forever. If there is a status distinction, it is inevitable. There is a change in status. However, the interesting thing for vampires is that no matter how the status changes, haha, the same group of people are there today to enjoy themselves and understand self-pity. Then things become ridiculous. .”
"But Cappadocia does have the lowest status in the west." Dog Brother's camera moved to the housekeeper again, and then back to Zach.
"In the Sabbat, yes." Zach picked up a blood transaction record. What interested him was that the trader was the military. Judging from the transaction records, the military had regular orders to purchase vampire blood every year. , and the amount of orders is increasing year by year. The words were still addressed to the dog brother, "But if you want to use the Sabbat to represent all vampires, forget it. Even the Thirteen Clans are a minority in the vampire race."
The dog brother seemed to have thought of something, and turned the camera on himself, "As I said yesterday, this Toledo made a proposal to me to transform me into his descendant." The camera was placed on the fireplace that could capture the two of them, and he While walking towards Zach, he said, "The thirteen clans that Toledo just mentioned were actually split into two alliances. The Sabbat here and the secret in the middle. Him." Sitting on Zach's side. "Once belonged to the Secret Alliance."
Zach was surprised, "You're a boy from the west, how do you know that?" It means education in the west. Remember the feminine man and the tough man? They all thought that Toledo was like Eli, a native of the Sabbat. Produced.
"The ghoul told me." Dog Brother waved his hand, not wanting to mention the ghoul who ran away after sending him here, "He said that you actually disappeared for a century because Toledo betrayed the Secret Alliance. The family was exterminated. You are the only Toledo who is still alive. The Toledo we knew before was brought by the Sabbat from the vampire's hometown to replace you."
Zach curled his lips, having nothing to say in response.
The dog brother looked like he was interviewing, "What is it like in the middle of the country? What are vampires from the Secret Alliance like in human society?"
"I don't know." Zach said simply, "What I know is what happened 100 years ago. If you have studied history, you know that the human world was two completely different worlds before and after a century. So, I don't Know."
"You haven't slept for 100 years, haven't you?" Dog Brother frowned.
"Of course not." Zach smiled, "If I fall asleep, who is going to wake me up?" Well, such a practical question.
"Then how did you live, these 100 years?"
"It's boring." Zach didn't look at the dog brother and answered in a toneless tone. Mainly because the focus is on the information in hand. As I just said, the military's orders for vampire blood are increasing year by year. This is a puzzling phenomenon, especially when tracing back to the source of this increasing trend. Going back to the war period, the military's orders actually turned to 0 after infinitely trending to 0.
Yes. In the war when Zach met Benjamin and Anthony, when federal soldiers needed vampire blood, the military's order to buy vampire blood was 0, but in today's peacetime, the military has a lot of funds to buy this... probably Vampire blood is of no use other than curing colds.
"I don't believe you. You're a vampire, there's no way your life is boring."
Zach glanced at the dog brother and said, "You are right, the life of a vampire cannot be boring." He put down the information in his hand, classified it into the long-term cooperation category, and continued to sort out the rest. Zach's job is to maintain customers. Is not it. So what Zach is actually doing is classifying customers who are worthy of Sabbat's efforts to maintain a relationship with retail investors who don't need to care.
"Then what did you do?"
"I worked as a teacher for a period of time. I was a traveling businessman for a period of time. I stayed in prison for, well, a few years. I worked as a stand-up comic performer for a period of time..."
The dog brother's eyes were widening, "leave him alone", Zach didn't finish his sentence.
"There was a period of time when I was being raised by someone, well, almost like a keeper. Then..." Zach looked up, showing a look of reminiscence, "I think I was a circus animal tamer for a while." He shrugged. , continued, "Bodyguard." Zach frowned, "Later, because he was needed by more and more high-profile political people, he changed jobs..."
We should thank Dog Brother for his keenness. If he hadn't discovered the key point and decisively interrupted, we would have heard here a list of how many lives a vampire can live in a hundred years. Believe me, this list is as long as every one. Humans, be ashamed.
"A high-profile political person." Goudi looked at Zach, "So you have the opportunity to get in touch with people within the human social system."
Zach's expression was a bit indescribable. It's probably the feeling of 'I put a topic that I don't know if I want to talk about into a bunch of boring topics and throw it out at once. If you find it, we'll talk about it. If you miss it, forget it.' , "I did, and then turned around and left."
"Why?"
"I can't keep a high profile." Zach smiled, "I don't want to be found secretly yet."
"So you're hiding."
"You can say that." Zach shrugged. Teacher, cross talk, or even animal training, which one is like hiding? Zach was having a great time.
"Where? East?"
"Northland." Zach answered.
"Are there vampires in the North?"
"Yes. But not many." Zach nodded, "There are some vampire aliens from the Federation hiding in the North."
"An alien vampire? The kind of vampire that doesn't even have a last name?"
"Yes, a vampire who cannot move during the day." He smiled and said, "So, it is completely irrelevant. If you want to ask whether the human social system in the North has been affected by vampires. My answer is, no." Zach's eyes changed. once, corrected, "At least in my opinion, no."
"What do you mean?"
"That's what it means." Zach looked at Dog Brother, "When I had the opportunity to get in touch with the political upper echelons of Northland, I turned around and left. With my outsider's eyes, I didn't know if my judgment was correct." The smile returned, " Especially now that I know that Messenger Zmich has always been behind the Northern Kingdom like me. But if you ask me more, I don’t know, and I can’t answer you now.”
The dog brother pursed his lips, showing an expression of dissatisfaction with Zach's answer but having to accept the fact. He left Zach's side, raised the camera again, and faced the Cappadocia people outside the villa.
"If a coup happens among the vampires..." Not bad, I remembered Zach's suggestion and restated the narration, "If a coup happens among the vampires in the Sabbat, what impact will it have on human society? I don't know, I think, no human beings You will know. Human beings do not have the life span to understand the struggle between these immortal creatures."
Zach sorted out the last customer information, glanced sideways at the dog brother who was taking notes carefully, curled his lips, and continued to sort out the vampire information.
Where there are customers to buy vampires, there are sellers. As expected, all those who serve as vampire blood supplies are descendants of the vampire clan. Just like Zach used the 'general's' blood to do favors. The vampire's ethics of superiority and inferiority are there.
What Zach has to do now is much simpler, just assign. Assign fixed vampires to fixed clients. A bit like a family doctor.
This was Zach's decision. Lesembula obviously hopes that by handing over this job to Zach, he can force Zach to establish a relationship with these vampire buyers in the West, who are at least humans with this financial ability, and tie Zach up.
But Zach was obviously not prepared to be tied up. Except for the fact that he had deliberately found a reason to target Zmich before, Zach was not prepared to bother with this work at all. Therefore, this assignment strategy is very suitable. Zach does not have to deal with any customers and vampires in the west.
Brother Gou continued, and the camera focused on the butler who was in this space, "Your kindred are here to protect Toledo. Do you think Toledo is really in danger?"
The butler looked at the camera, but of course, there was no reflection.
The dog brother maintained this posture for a while, knowing that he couldn't bear it anymore, he turned the camera and returned to Zach, "Do you think you are in danger?"
Let me take this opportunity to talk about the two waves of 'dirty' visitors I told you about earlier. Let me reiterate that 'unclean' means not walking cleanly, leaving something behind.
The first wave was the funeral industry ghoul who came with his dog brother. The reason for coming is the rules of the Sabbat. If a human is given the choice to become a vampire, he needs to live with the vampire who wants to transform him. It was not what Zach wanted, but Brother Dog stayed.
The second wave was Cappadocia who came to deliver things again. In addition to bringing back the identity rotation documents and punitive measures that Zach had thrown away last time, they also brought news. One of Reutschmich's brothers launched a coup d'état to seize Roy's position as clan representative. The reason is, 'Roy lost our messenger', unforgivable.
What's left behind are the Cappadocia people who 'appeared' in Dog Brother's lens just now, protecting Zach, the important person who revealed the secret.
The protection is two-fold, one is Roy's revenge, and the other is Roy's coup brother wants to do something through Zach, for example, privately communicate with Patton, and obtain the key to control Zmich's messenger Kroger. means.
The word Brother Gou used just now was coup, wasn't it
Zach shook his head, "No." He glanced at his butler, "I only feel safe, protected and safe~"
The housekeeper stopped working, picked up the broom and disappeared.
Normal people would find it disgusting. Zach told Nick on the balcony not long ago that he felt that his Cappadocia housekeeper made him uncomfortable. Now there are more Cappadocia here. Any idiot knows that Zach is being sarcastic.
The camera follows the disappearing figure of the butler, and next to it is, "Toledo pissed off his Cappadocia butler."
Zach found it funny, "You know very well that if you shoot like this, most of your documentary will be blank in the end. People in the future will only see the meaningless conversation between you and me here. However, we can definitely see it hundreds of years later Tell people these things in person.”
The dog brother paused for a moment, then finished the shot in his mind, "It's really unfair. There are unfair creatures like vampires in the world. No images cannot be recorded for evidence; those with images can more easily integrate into the world and influence this world. world."
Zach did not respond to this, but stood up and finished the work arranged by Lesembra. "According to the rules of the Sabbat, I have to register you and let you enter, uh." Zach waved his hand, with helplessness. The system of the Sabbat, "System. Have you brought your files?"
"In the guest room, everything was packed like a ghoul." Brother Gou showed no expression, "You made it too easy for him. He got those coupons for almost nothing. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have asked for that The social worker quickly found me a foster home, I would rather stay in the orphan system."
"So, why the rush to be adopted?"
"I'm almost sixteen. I can't stay in the orphanage. I need a way to support myself as soon as I get out."
"You can't support yourself?" Zach expressed doubts. Cameras are not cheap.
"No. You know how expensive Vega's house is." Uh, so realistic. "So my only option was to enlist in the army. And then I confirmed that I would die, very quickly, just like any guy I knew. .”
"Oh~"
