It was a little late when I returned to Grande, and the reason was Chris. Vertex 23S. Updated soon When Zach was about to leave, the young man asked Zach if he could take him for a ride.
Zach thought this guy had some family issues that needed consultation, like before, he was worried about his father being a vampire. Zach thought it was okay to answer the question, so he agreed. As a result, Zach took Chris around the South District several times, and the guy didn't ask Zach any questions.
Zach didn't say anything, and returned to Grand after sending Chris back to Allen.
It was past dinner time, but there were still voices in the Grande restaurant. Zach wandered to the restaurant, first looked at Alice and Maya at the table, and said, "You're back." Then he looked at Sissi, "I just took your boyfriend around the South District a few times. "Zach didn't mean to provoke, he just told the facts.
Sissi rolled her eyes at Zach and said nothing.
Zack stopped asking for trouble and prepared to go upstairs.
"Mrs. Barton promised Mrs. Quinn to become a vampire." Alice suddenly spoke, looking at Zach turning around, "I agreed after returning from Grande. Did you say anything to her?"
Zach raised his eyebrows and shook his head, "No, she herself..." He didn't know how to explain it, "I think she figured it out."
This statement offended someone. Someone is Sissy.
Sissi slapped the dining table and said, "What does it mean to have figured it out? Giving up one's soul to become a vampire can be described as 'figured it out'!"
Zach decided to ignore Sissy. Smiling at Alice, "Then Mrs. Barton should also accept Laura as your friend~" So this is the reason why they can come back to Grande.
"Well." Alice also smiled, but then curled her lips, "But Mrs. Barton told Mrs. Quinn that it was up to her to decide when, so when did Mrs. Barton become a vampire..."
Before Alice could finish speaking, someone forced his way in. Someone is Sissy.
Sissi shook the tableware in her hand, "Humph. Does it make sense? Anyway, there is no future for the soul, so it is useless to keep it for a long time."
Zach glanced at Sissi and said, forget it, there is no need to argue, it is just a fact, people with different positions say different things.
But Zach was happy to tell Sissi one thing, "By the way, I would like to ask you how you are thinking about meeting with the Lesenbra clan."
"Still considering!" The answer was quite straightforward.
"Oh." Zach tilted his head, "Then you may need to finish your dinner quickly and go home. Frank has the habit of coming to Grande for dinner these days."
Sissi's body visibly stiffened, and then she seemed to speed up her meal instinctively.
Zach curled his lips, without deliberately showing anything, and prepared to leave again.
"Come on if you come." Sissi probably saw the corner of Zach's mouth, "I don't care. There's nothing to think about anyway."
Zach didn't turn around and kept the curve of his mouth just as a girl refusing to admit defeat. There was no need to say anything. However, as soon as Zach took a step forward, he saw Frank walking towards him with a smile on his face...
He raised his hand and patted Zach on the shoulder first, then stepped directly into the restaurant, "Hearing the saint say this, I relaxed~ Hehe, I have been waiting outside for a long time, and I have been worried that coming in will disturb everyone's meal. ~"
Zach still didn't turn around and went to the basement to get the food for the guests.
When she came up, Sissi's face was dark, Frank? It was naturally white, and he stared at the wine bottle in Zach's hand expectantly, "I'm really embarrassed~ I tried the wild animals in the woods on the border of the Southern District, and the result was that the blood was not as pure as that of domestic animals. ~”
Zach is a good host. When he hears a topic that can warm up the scene, he knows that he has to pick it up. So, while refilling the food for the guests, he is curious, "Oh? I always thought that the blood of wild creatures changes, huh?" , it’s higher. At least that’s what Gangluo claimed~” Warming up~” Right, Miss Saint?”
Sissi's face twitched, "I never talk to my men about their food!"
"I would rather communicate with the Saint's men~" Frank still smiled, "I agree that the blood of wild animals is more special~ but noble? I don't think so~" Looking at Zach, "Wild things have a desire to survive. The relationship with reproduction is too strong." With a helpless look, "It's almost the same as the complex living conditions of human beings now, and it makes me uncomfortable."
This was originally a warm-up topic, but someone unexpectedly took the attitude of discussing it seriously. It was Alice, "This is probably in line with reality. After all, the progress of human civilization is always accompanied by the compression of the living space of other creatures. How complex is the current living condition of human beings, and the desire to survive and inheritance of wild animals**, How intense it will be.”
Alice felt that all eyes were on her. He blushed and lowered his head, "This is one of the thesis arguments for Kyle's university application. I helped him organize the information."
Kyle's college application. Forget it, now is not the time to care about that.
Zach looked at Frank again and gave an understanding smile, "Animals raised by humans don't have the freedom to do this."
Frank smiled and nodded, "Yes." He took a satisfied sip of the red in the cup and glanced at Sissi, who still had a dark look on her face. The warm-up topic ended and it seemed that it had no effect. But probably any warm-up talk won't do the trick, and Frank knew that, so he said, "Yes, yes, your last name."
"Yes, what's the problem?" Sissi didn't look at Frank.
"I remember your ancestor, the one from four centuries ago." Frank stopped looking at Sissi and looked at Zach, "He was a soldier in the colonial army."
Zach gave an apologetic look, "Sorry, I don't remember."
"Haha, it's okay. They are just low-level soldiers who should not be remembered by anyone." Looking at his food, "There are ten such low-level soldiers in the colonial army... No, it should be said that, thirteen of us The ancestor of the clan found ten." Without a tone, "They were assigned to different troops on the battlefield."
Probably because of Frank's sudden tone of voice, everyone at the table was listening attentively even though they didn't know what Frank was talking about.
"Last time, Zach, I told you the true purpose of the colonial war." Frank raised his glass and made a toasting gesture to the air, "Now I want to tell you the reward that the vampire will get if the war is won. "
Zach was a little confused, "I already know that it is to relieve vampires from being prisoners of this world and let vampires rule the world."
Frank shook his head, "The conversation between Black Cat Biscuit and I was incomplete. After all, we were just talking about things we were both interested in." Frank looked at Sissi, "The reward given to the vampire by the Holy Lord has been released. On the human comrades who fought with us vampires in the colonial war. These ten soldiers discovered by our ancestors each carried a reward that the Holy Lord would give to the vampires. If the war is won, these low-level soldiers can all survive If you come down, the vampire will get all the rewards from the Holy Lord." Looking back at Zach, "With your intelligence, you should be able to guess the reason why the Holy Lord does such a thing."
Zach naturally guessed, "Is this some kind of incentive? Let vampires win the war?"
Just as Frank was about to speak, he was interrupted by someone, Sissi.
Sissi had already thrown away her tableware, "It's just a means of motivation." She glanced at Frank, "And you didn't find all of them. It's not ten, it's thirteen low-level soldiers. Also, it's not the total of thirteen soldiers. Being together is all the rewards the Holy Lord gives you. There is only one reward, and all the thirteen soldiers carry the same thing."
Frank looked surprised at first, but soon turned into a smile, "I knew that the Holy Lord had deceived us again."
"The Holy Lord didn't lie to you." Sissi stared at Frank, "Why don't you tell me how you found out how the Holy Lord placed rewards in the human army?" She asked.
Frank raised his hand and made a confession, "I was a little acclimatized when I first came to this land that belongs to the Indians." He smiled at Zach, as if asking for Zach's understanding, "What I eat is our food." human comrades."
Zach... got it. Zach glanced at Sissi, "So it sounds like the Holy Lord did not directly tell the thirteen clans that it had placed the rewards in the human army. It was the clan ancestor..." Zach curled his lips and became more specific, "Frank Occasionally, I ate a low-level soldier who happened to be one of the thirteen soldiers and found it. Then I started searching and found ten."
Zach looked at Frank, and Frank admitted, "Yes." Then he continued, "But let's all be sincere. We, the Thirteen Clan, team up with humans to go to the battlefield, where blood is flying everywhere. We It is inevitable to discover this information. This is the Holy Lord’s deliberate motivational method. The only discrepancy with the Holy Lord’s plan is that I discovered this secret probably before going to the battlefield~”
Well, this logic is correct, Frank continued, "And even my blood analysis ability can't know what the reward is. I only know that he is not the only one. After the war is won, he will give the vampire his surname to complete the reward. The gift is just like the Holy Lord giving the power of the sun to the thirteen clans among the thirteen (fourteen, Gasset) surnames."
The atmosphere at the table froze for a moment, Zach acted first. Standing up, looking at Sissi, "Your last name is the reward for the vampire's victory??"
Sissi didn't answer, but Frank said, "At that time, our thirteen clan ancestors thought that each soldier's surname had an ability, which might be similar to the ability to travel. In short, it was the ability to help vampires stand at the top of the world's creatures. If we can Get all the hidden low-level soldiers, and the vampire will become extremely powerful."
Frank smiled at Zach, "Now you know why I was curious about your image before~ Haha, because..." His eyes turned to Sissi, "This should be one of the things that gives vampires the ability to rule the world. One." He continued, "But now, since we know that there are thirteen soldiers, and there is only one ability." Frank looked at Sissi, "Don't let us guess, just answer the questions directly, Miss Saint. "
"Each of the thirteen surnames can only be given to one vampire clan." Sissi... actually answered honestly.
"Wait a minute." Zach had to interrupt, "Gangro and I..."
Zach was also interrupted. Sissi "My surname is Yesil. I not only inherited it from my father, I also have a mother." She didn't know what she was doing and glanced at the two vampires Zach and Frank. "I am a human, and my parents are' Double', my last name, is the merging of two last names, hum, not like some species."
Frank had an 'Oh' expression, and Zach, on the other hand, curled up his lips, "Do we need to ask about your grandparents' generation, or even above?"
Frank was reminded and echoed, "Yes, Miss Saint, you have used up the number of times your parents have given you a surname. How many more times do you have..." The reason why Frank wants to see Saint is already obvious.
Before she finished asking, "No!" Sissi stared at Frank, "I knew you were thinking about this! That's why I don't want to see you!"
Frank's interrupted mouth turned into a smile, and he turned to Zach and shrugged slightly, seemingly in response to Sissy's words, "And the reason why I want to see Miss Saint seems to be gone~" To be honest.
But there are still things that need to be explained about the topic that has been opened, and Zach comes to ask, first of all, "Does Thomas (Gangero) know?"
"Of course I don't know! Do you think if he knew that this ability is the ultimate reward of the Holy Lord, he would still show it off in front of you?! Give you the opportunity to ask me for it?!" Tsk, Sissi really looks down on her subordinates …Forget it, it’s Gangaro anyway.
Zach felt it was amazing and almost laughed speechlessly, "And I asked you for it and you gave it to me?"
"You trade me for finally being able to live a stable life in Barton. Shouldn't I give it to you?" Sissi said very confidently. As it should be, this was a favor she gave to Zach, and she deserved to be honest with the recipient.
"Okay." Zach waved his hand, "You just said that each of the thirteen soldier surnames can only be given once, so the Holy Lord never planned to reward the entire thirteen clans?"
This is a very real problem. Frank just said that four centuries ago, their thirteen clan ancestors only found ten soldiers with rewards. We shouldn't despise the abilities of the clan ancestors, right? Therefore, it's not that they missed it, but as the war progressed, when the clan ancestors went to look for it, three... died.
"Of course not the entire thirteen clans!" Sissi stared at Zach, "You have fourteen surnames! There is one more surname than the Holy Lord wants!" What
Zach frowned and said, "Are you talking about the surname Asamat's ancestors wanted, Seth?" Is the Holy Lord so fussy about it
Thank heaven and earth, it's not, "That's not the point! The point is whether each of the thirteen clans is worthy of ruling the world!" Sissi continued confidently, "Do you want a lunatic like Mokawi to rule the world? Do you want that? Do you want fugitives from civilization like Gangro to rule the world? Do you want misanthropes like Giovanni to rule the world? Do you want Nofele and the freak shows to rule the world? Do you want people like Fanzhuo to rule the world?… "
This is a personal attack. But...makes sense.
Zach frowned and said after thinking deeply, "It's not a matter of whether we think about it or not, it's about whether the Holy Lord doesn't want to, right? After all, this is a world that provides it with a steady stream of souls, and the ruler cannot be a mess." Ke glanced at Frank, "The worst thing is that the Holy Lord did not designate the ruler it wanted." Looking at Frank's reason, "It uses this method for only one purpose, let us, rob. It wants to We fight."
Frank looked at Zach, his expression changed from giving up on continuing the conversation with Sissi to understanding. He shook his head and raised his glass, but said no more.
Zach's last question is, "How can images help vampires rule the world?" Zach needs this answer, especially now that Zach is beginning to wonder about the balance of pros and cons of this ability. It is naturally more convenient to have images, such as Zach. You can go shopping now~ But the disadvantages are also obvious. For example, Zach’s appearance is easily exposed by the media~
Sissi took a deep breath and closed her eyes when she spoke, "I never said that my surname is only for vampires to look in the mirror!" She opened her eyes, "The image of a vampire will always be your definition of dirty. A festering, festering soul that is not worthy of going to the Holy Lord’s world of faith!”
Zach seemed to notice something, "What is that thing in my mirror?"
Frank joined in, "So if I had your last name, and now I (soul completely gone) look in the mirror, what would my reflection be?"
There was a slightly dazzling reflection. Alice, who was watching the whole process, erected a mirror beside Zach. It was the kind of pink makeup mirror that a girl would carry with her...
Zach in the mirror pouted at Alice speechlessly, then looked in Sissi's direction again, waiting for an answer.
Wait and wait, wait and wait.
Zach in the mirror got impatient and walked away.
Yes, go away.
