Sid returned to Allen's funeral around lunch time, but Louise, who went to see Murphy off, never came back. Zach sat with Siris for a while.
"I don't blame Nenad for not telling me to pay attention to this kind of corpse..." Sires is a sensible 'child'.
Zach in Grande was suddenly rushed out by Sid and reminded to pay attention to that kind of corpse. What about Siris? He went to pick up the body, but it was only luck that he didn't come into direct contact with the body.
Here we must face up to Siris's position. Literally geographical location. He is a member of the Sabbat Cappadocia and the son of Nenad, but at the same time, his place of work is Grande, and his home is the ancestral office opened by Alpha and Mokave.
Some information that the Sabbat vampires should know is blocked by this wonderful geographical location. If you insist on blaming one person, you can only blame Nenad as the father. He neglected his son who was raised elsewhere.
But as I said before, Sires is a sensible child, "Allen and I are both descendants of Nenad. It's normal for him to focus on Allan and forget about me occasionally."
This isn't the first time we've heard Nenad's preference for two descendants.
Recall, don’t we know that Nenad gave Allen special one-to-one education? Haha, yes, Nenad taught Allen to love Grande, to love Toledo, to love... Zach~~
As for Siris, there is no need for Nenad to teach~
Some 'wise men' who have lived long enough and thought they have experienced enough things have said that crying children get candy, while well-behaved and sensible children are usually the ones who are ignored.
Vampires also conform to this human ethics. Here, the one who is valued is Allen who needs constant supervision, while the one who is ignored is Sires who is reassured.
Zach didn't think Siris's sensible attitude was worthy of sympathy. "That's the right mentality~" He patted Siris and said, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
This is a serious question. Grande has to perform lunch in front of the staff living area. Don't forget it.
Cyrus immediately looked uncomfortable, "Anything you don't need to bite."
"Copy that." Zach went to the kitchen.
It's just lunch for a performance, don't expect Zach to pay much attention to it, it's just a waste of ingredients. Let’s skip this period…
"You shouldn't mash the blood tofu. What you're doing is completely wrong."
When Zach turned around, he had already assumed a defensive posture - quite ugly. The two vital points of the vampire, the heart and neck, were being assisted, and the lower body was in a lunge to withdraw at any time. You can think about it.
"Hannah?!"
Forgive Zach's surprise. Hannah is dead, in the hands of Newton and Winston. Remember, in order to prevent the soul from causing trouble, the body was disposed of by phantoms. Hannah's life has been completely erased from this world.
But now she was in Grande's kitchen, standing in front of an ugly Zack.
"I'm not Hannah." 'Hannah' responded to Zach, while looking at Zach's ugly posture... "This is just the only Federalist appearance I remember."
Zack hesitated, removing his obviously useless defensive stance.
There is no need to explain why Zach's instant reaction was defensive. We can count the creatures that can appear behind Zach silently on one finger - Papa Midnight, he has done this many times. Now, we can add one more finger to that list.
As for why Zach wants to withdraw his defense now, hey, Zach can't guard against Papa Midnight, so why waste his feelings on 'this finger'.
"Who are you."
"We have already been in contact, you forgot..." The person who used the image of Hannah paused, "I really don't seem to have told you my identity." After thinking about it, "I need a dictionary."
"What?"
"I don't know the translation of my name in Federal."
Zach was stunned for a moment and pursed his lips, "No, just say your republican name."
"Jian." It added, "The meaning of mirror and judgment."
Finally, the descendant of Ian, the descendant of Toledo who served as a government official in the Republic, the God of the Republic who reminded Zach to be careful, appeared in front of Zach.
*! The way he appeared was so confusing that I didn’t even know where to start!
'Jian' looked at Zach, or to be precise, he was sizing him up. He shook his head without knowing what he was thinking, "You vampires are really ugly."
How good that this god officially recognized by the Republic not only appeared here uninvited in an inexplicable way, but also directly insulted our vampires without even saying a few words! I can't bear it!
Zach held back, "I heard that you have the ability to imprint the true appearance of all things. Are there any creatures in this world that you think are beautiful?" He implicitly launched a counterattack.
The appearance of Hannah used by 'Jian' faithfully reflected the changes in its expression. She frowned slightly and said, "Who did you listen to?"
Zach is going to use his usual social skills - talking while doing what he is doing: messing with blood tofu to complete the performance lunch. The meaning of this communication method has been analyzed in detail with everyone. It can easily let Zach control the rhythm of communication, "Who said it..." Zach is not ready to sell his grandson in Republic so quickly, "I don't remembered… "
Zach was pushed away, "I said you shouldn't do this with blood tofu." Zach was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jian who had taken his place and forcefully snatched the bowl from his hand, "I need oil, Ginger, garlic..." After submitting a bunch of requests, "Why are you still standing? This is your kitchen. Don't you remember where you put the things in your kitchen? Hum, get me the ingredients I want. , otherwise I will find it myself.”
Why do such rude 'guests' exist? Well, that's what happens when the power of host and guest is completely out of balance.
Zach began to prepare materials for the other party. A subtle counterattack? No, now it's purely passive defense: "I need to tell you, no one will actually eat this lunch, this is a show for the humans of Grande."
"I don't care. I won't allow the ingredients of Republican culture to be wasted." Can you believe it? A Republican god suddenly appeared here, seriously cooking Republican cuisine.
This was a process that Zach didn't know about and couldn't resist. Zach decided not to talk anymore. The only thing that can be done now, to put it more professionally, is to establish this 'Jian''s character profile to prepare for subsequent peaceful exchanges or hostile confrontations.
At this point, Zach has come to at least two conclusions. First, this god is very direct, which means that most of Toledo's accustomed social skills will not work, and will instead be disliked. Second, republican culture is probably the bottom line for this god. If the other party does not allow for a lunch that has no real meaning, then...
Zach was not optimistic at all about his subsequent contact with this god. (To be continued)
