"She told me what Lord Assamite wants. Apex 23S. The fastest update" was Louise's first sentence when she came back.
Not exactly what Zach wanted to talk about, but, not bad, but first, "Why is she telling you now?"
"She wanted to leave that world." Louise looked proud. "The development of that world has completely deviated from reality. She said there was no point in her continuing to stay there."
"Uh, she killed someone?" Zach seemed to have no 'good' feelings for Murphy anymore, and his guess was that he was completely malicious~
"No!" Louise frowned, "What are you thinking? It's just that the voting is over, and Gina in that world secretly changes her vote every day, and Anthony can't become the mayor. So that world begins to move toward the real world. Completely different path.”
"Oh." It was really nothing new, but it made Zach curious, "Is the event Murphy is waiting for in Barton, Anthony being re-elected as mayor?"
"Exactly." Louise looked at Zach, "Don't worry, I stayed in that world for one night, and she has told me everything she can say~"
"That doesn't sound very reassuring." It's all she could say. One can't help but wonder what those things that cannot be said are.
"Relax~ She is Assamat. Everything she does is calculated. This is the 'first step'. She has provided all the information required for the 'first step'. Continue. Come down, your decision is the premise of whether to execute the 'second step'. The remaining information is for the second part~"
"A night alone with Murphy." Zach was looking at Louise, "Have you become an expert on Assamite?" He was talking about the certainty and confidence in Louise's words.
"I don't know if you are an expert on Assamite, but I am an expert on Murphy~" Louise smiled and tilted her head to look at the entertainment room on the second floor, "Why is the Republican language spoken on our TV?"
Zach clapped his hands and said, "The Republic TV channel is here!"
"Really!" Louise ran upstairs, "I want to see what a republic looks like~"
It wasn't a topic Zach wanted to talk about, but... it wasn't bad.
"Oh my god! What is this!" Louise stared at the crowd of people on the TV screen. "Why are there so many people on... the train? Is this a train station? It's... spectacular! I've never seen so many people before. People are crowded into the same space! Uh, what is that reporter saying? Why are there no subtitles?"
Zach glanced at Louise helplessly, telling Louise not to ask for too much.
Louise was still immersed in the emotion of being 'spectacular', "Why do those people look so happy? Don't they find it too crowded? Republicans like to be crowded??"
These were all questions that Zach couldn't answer. Zach turned down the volume of the TV. It didn't matter whether it was there or not, but the topic about the Republic couldn't go on anyway. "Murphy?" reminded Louise that she hadn't finished what she just said.
"Oh! Murphy~" Louise sat down on the sofa, still staring at the TV screen. Although the screen shows the interior of an extremely crowded train station, all the faces that can be photographed are happy faces. Hehe, who doesn't like to see others happy~ "The reason why the Assamaite clan is looking for you is that they merged into the Toledo clan."
"What?"
"Murphy said that the ancestor of the Twin Clan had never liked the descendants of Seth, who accounted for half of the population of the Twin Clan. She said that when the ancestor of Assamat initially agreed to join the Thirteen Clan, he asked The purpose of these two surnames was to remove Seth from their own clan in the future, but I didn’t expect that you, the Toledo clan proposed federal independence in the late colonial war, triggering secrets and Sabbat conflicts between clans, thirteen In order to preserve their bloodline and not participate in the political struggles of their children, the ancestors agreed to sleep together. The ancestors of the twin clans could only postpone the plan to eliminate Seth and enter a deep sleep."
The corner of Zach's mouth twitched, and he sat next to Louise, looking at the crowded but happy republican faces on the screen.
"But half a century after the founding of the Federation, the ancestors of the twin clans were awakened."
"This is impossible. There is no record of this incident."
Louise raised her hand and gently pressed Zach's shoulder, and continued, "Assamite's messenger judged the situation in the Federal State on his own, as well as the secret alliance and the Sabbat's mutually antagonistic but peaceful situation, and decided to start eliminating the game. Special's plan, therefore, awakened their ancestors." He stated the facts without even arguing with Zach.
Zach admitted.
"The plan is secretive and stable. Assamat uses the identity of the Secret Alliance to change the system. As you said before, just like the Toledo clan created the human Moriarty family, those humans in the Moriarty family After being replaced by a vampire, they usually become slaves without identity, becoming a gray population that can be exploited in the Federation."
Zach began to elaborate, "Asamat is used to find the source of the population that looks similar to the vampires who are descendants of Assamite."
Louise nodded, "Humans' identities will be replaced by vampires without identities, and vampires with identities can be replaced by slaves without identities. The only thing that is noticed is that the vampires whose identities will be replaced by slaves are twins. The person in the clan who becomes the Asamat.”
"Like Murphy."
"Well, like Murphy. The targets of the Twin Clan Ancestors are usually these humans who are already entangled in the lives of vampires."
Zach looked at the happy smiling face on the screen and said, "Because this kind of people usually understand that there are vampires in this world."
"At the same time, the lives of such people are usually in bottlenecks. Especially in the early days of the establishment of the Federal Republic, they realized that this country that was proud of its independence was actually built by a bunch of creatures that looked like humans, but were definitely not human. It usually leaves people, well, in pain."
"The separation of reason and emotion."
Louise smiled and tilted her head, "The only criterion for becoming a descendant of the twin clan~" Isn't it~
"If the Assamite clan has been misappropriating the funds of the Secret Alliance, looking for humans to replace vampires, and stocking up its own Assamite clan, it is impossible for the Secret Alliance not to discover it, and it is impossible for me not to discover it."
Zach's question is the same as his question just now about the twin clan clan not being awakened. Successfully received a gentle shoulder massage from Louise.
"The reason why this system has been hidden until now is because of funding, or you can say, the source of cooperation with this system, not a secret alliance."
Zach didn't take his eyes off the TV screen.
Louise continued, "It's those human families. You wouldn't think that the old woman you were buried at Murphy's funeral could deceive everyone who knew Murphy with her face that was 70% similar to hers. Friends, just Stop talking, Murphy said, since you disappeared, her friends have despised her. But what about her parents? You don’t think her parents can’t tell what their daughter looks like, do you?”
Zach pursed his lips.
Louise patted Zach and said, "What Assamat does is just to provide a way for the family to get through the trough smoothly when a member of a human family is going through the lowest period of his life. This A gift that comes with eternal life. Most human families will choose to accept it.”
"It's okay if you become Assamite, the identity replacement system works, and Assamt has another descendant. But if you become Set, what will happen to those human families."
"Not very good." Louise waved her hand, "Leave it to the Secret Alliance, leave it to you."
Zach finally looked away from the happy republican, "Leave it to me, you say."
Louise's gaze did not move, but the corners of her eyes narrowed, "I didn't say it, she said it~ How does the Secret Alliance deal with the fact that Set alien vampires are the Secret Alliance, and the Assamite clan that is growing silently in the Secret Alliance It doesn’t matter~”
Zach opened his mouth, and he understood, "Is this how Assamat eliminated Set? They did not exclude Set from the twin clans that already existed in the Secret Alliance, but instead established a new Assamat. The Te clan, and then leave the job of cleaning garbage to the Secret Alliance?”
"Yes~" Louise smiled and suddenly interrupted, "I think I know what is being shown on TV. These people are going home~ to welcome the New Year with their families~ so even if they are in a crowded environment, they are all It’s a happy face~”
Zach didn't care what was on the TV, "How many vampires has Assamat reserved in four centuries?"
"Strictly speaking, only two and a half centuries~" Half of Louise's thoughts were still on the TV. "It seems that the floating population of the Republic is several orders of magnitude higher than that of the Federation. No wonder the Sabbat wants to fight with them so much. Republic and trade." Don't pretend not to understand. Population mobility is the basis of economic development. You will know it if you look at history.
"Focus on Louise." Zach reminded helplessly.
"Oh~" Louise began to continue massaging Zach's shoulders, "You have to subtract the first half century after the founding of the Confederation and the last century after the abolition of slavery. Two and a half."
"Time is not important, what is important is the number of Assamites. Louise, the Sabbat's order regarding Assamites may arrive at any time in the next few days."
"No~ time is important." Louise massaged very gently, "Especially the last century. Murphy said that the ancestors of the Assamite family were aware of the demise of the slavery system before Toledo. , she is waiting for a change within the Hidden Alliance, and then eliminates Set at once, and officially welcomes her Asamat ancestors into the Hidden Alliance."
Zach's eyes became completely cold, "Change, does it mean that Toledo was exterminated?"
"That's what Asamat's ancestors didn't predict." Louise finally turned her attention to Zach, "Murphy said that the ancestors originally thought that it would be Bruh who would trigger the change. Because Fan Zhuo had always put Bu The Ruh clan regards it as their own private property. If the times are pushing those races that have always been dominated to stand up, Assamat believes that the one who stands up will be Bruh."
Zach was quiet for a while, "Stupid, any uprisings or revolutions in this world are not because of what the times are pushing forward. It is people who are pushing the times forward. The changes in the times are just the result of logical cause and effect. Bruch has no idea at all. Resisting the idea of Fan Zhuo, no matter how the times change, Bruch will never 'stand up'. Bruch can never be pushed by the times. Only Assamat, who does not understand the emotions of people at all, can commit this kind of cause and effect. Inversion stupid mistake.”
Louise nodded, agreeing with Zach and accepting what he said next, "Torido can do it." Louise's hand left Zach's shoulder and pointed at Zach's head, "Torido can do it. Something that Assamat doesn’t have.”
The tone of the conversation changed so quickly that Zach didn't react, "Uh..."
"This is why Assamat hopes to merge with the Toledo clan. They don't need Seth, who is completely emotionally out of control, to drag down the entire clan. What they need is that Toledo has the same vision of the world as them. , that is, the rational ability that matches them, and the precise and appropriate grasp of people's hearts."
Zach couldn't comment on this, except, "What's the point of waiting for Anthony to be re-elected?"
"The Sabbat. Because you now belong to the Sabbat, Assamat needs to confirm that you, as a member of the Sabbat, have control over this city."
"Why?"
"Because as a member of the Sabbat, you still have control over everything in this city..." Louise looked at Zach, "Assamat can take back their ancestors from the Republic."
Zach stood up, left the rec room, went downstairs... Zach wanted to feel the fresh air.
Louise gave Zach a little time to feel the resentment of the orphan... But of course, this time cannot be too long. It has nothing to do with selfishness. It's just that Louise still needs Zach as a 'father', and a 'father' cannot last long. Trapped in the emotion of being a 'son'.
"I told Murphy that I had no intention of competing with her for the 'wife' status." Louise stood next to Zach.
Why. Another thing that left Zach speechless. Remember, Louise and Zach's discussion about marriage.
"Although her attitude hasn't changed much." Louise smiled, "But as you can see, she told me so many things~"
Better focus, Zach adjusted his mood, "Did she say who was the person who secretly sent Barton away when Benjamin was protecting her?"
"As I said, those are not actually Barton people, they are just the Assamite clan living in Barton..." Louise raised her eyebrows, "Familia."
"What is a Familia?" Zach was not going to pretend to understand. Familiars, we understand, are guys who become servants of vampires in order to gain eternal life. Do you remember the Thirteen of Gangro, the dead old man
"It's the human family that once sponsored the Asamat clan."
Zach raised his eyebrows, because what he meant was
Louise said for Zach, "This means that the ancestors of these human families are members of Assamat. The advantage of having a human family to support oneself in becoming a vampire is that the human family has been protected by vampires for generations. If Toledor and Assamite merge, we'll get not just an as-yet-unrevealed number of Assamite vampires, but these human families scattered throughout the Federation."
For Zach, the ancestor of Toledo, does he still need to choose
Haha, now think back to what Murphy said about Anthony's choice of women. Sure enough, she should persist. Compare Zach to Anthony and you get the idea.
"I'll think about it." Zach still remained reserved.
"Well." Louise patted Zach, "I went up to watch TV~"
"Wait a minute. About Gina."
"Gina is dead." Louise said simply, "After the last batch of votes were audited yesterday evening, we probably saw Cerberus surrounding the city government." There was a pause, "But no Cerberus entered. Murphy and I didn't find anyone else who died. So if we had to guess, Gina should have died in the silver secret passage, and her soul was trapped there."
"You didn't come out all night?"
"No, it should have completely disappeared. When Cerberus left, I came back."
Zach waved his hand, no problem.
