"Back?" Zach was at the gate of Grande, watching Coulson walk over in a depressed mood, but Zach was not picking up Coulson, Zach was greeting new guests.
Zach glanced at Coulson, the old Republican who had preceded him onto Grand's front porch. Detective Coulson's mood was even lower, "I will contact you at another time."
Self-conscious~ But Zack has already told Coulson what he can tell him, Mrs. Levine's commission. The situation that best meets Zach's expectations is that Coulson will never come to Zach again~
Ah, the old man of the Republic.
In fact, this old man is not a completely unfamiliar face to us. He is the God of the Republic. Papa Midnight said he is a god, Jian also said he is a god, and even the monk Maitreya also said he is a god. Therefore, he is a god recognized by many parties. Based on Zach’s current understanding of the alien races in the Republic, this old man is Xian’er~
"Pucci." Zach's experience with this god is that he doesn't speak easily. Any impression? When Zach terminated the body of Toledo's messenger, the god was watching, "Are you alone?" The known information is that this Pucci is Papa's midnight partner. So Zach would ask.
The old man didn't answer Zach's intention, "I, come, see, 'Jian'."
Zach didn't feel that the other party's word-by-word speech was threatening, because he could feel from the poor pronunciation that the other party had thought through the translation of every word he said. This is a common situation when people with little language talent communicate in a language other than their native language.
"It's not there." Today Zach has gone through Jessica's stash of more than a hundred Republic 'Angels,' Repert High School's summer program. Today's share of the Republic has been used up, and Zach doesn't want to cause more trouble to himself from the Republic.
"I can wait."
"I have absolutely no control over Jian's actions. I don't know when it will come back." This is the truth.
"I have patience."
This old man won't give Zach a chance, forget it, Zach has invited people to the Grand.
Out of insurance, "Papa Midnight..." Zach still wanted to know if Papa Midnight would suddenly appear.
"Myself."
Feeling a little relieved, Zach took people to the Grand Recreation Room, "Do you need anything? Tea? Coffee? Snacks?"
Pucci glanced at Zach and waved his hand. A complete set of expensive-looking republican-style tea sets was spread on the coffee table, still steaming. Zach pursed his lips and exited the entertainment room. This was a place where no one needed to wait. The fairy.
Just after taking two idle steps, I saw Hank approaching from the room, "What does it smell like?"
"Tea." Zach thought Hank was asking about the tea that Pucci had 'conjured'.
"That's not tea. That's the blood of something. I can smell it." Hank said with certainty.
Among vampires, if Lesembra says something is blood, no one can argue with them. Zach didn't bother to tell Hank to do whatever he wanted, and went downstairs to the warehouse - when Pucci appeared, Roy Zmich in the warehouse was 'summoning' Zach. With his already daily fuss, "Toledo! Toledo! What's standing on your doorstep!"
Entering the warehouse, "That's the God of the Republic next to Papa Midnight. Papa Midnight calls him Pucci." Although Zach knew that his answer would never appease Roy's negative excitement, this was what Zach could do. The answer given.
"Why would a republican god be around Papa Midnight??"
"Why is 'Jian' in Grande?" Zach asked rhetorically.
Two completely unrelated questions are answered in the same way. Who knows, that’s the truth anyway.
Zach actually came to the warehouse for a purpose. When he first returned to Grande, if Coulson hadn't interrupted and then Smith came, Zach would have come to see Roy. But it's not too late, "Roy, I have something to tell you."
"You lied to me again, didn't you? You didn't really relax, and you went somewhere to cause trouble, right?" The question went straight to the point.
This satisfied Zach's sick vanity, "I'm sorry~"
"*!" After expressing his emotions, Roy put on a serious face, "Tell me! What's going on!"
"It's about the Republican Angels. Jessica, the fallen angel from Mary's Church, is back and brought back a group of Republican Angels who fell back to Hell and then returned to the Federation's Republican Angels."
Roy's first reaction was exactly the same as when Zach heard Jessica say this, so I won't repeat the description.
Zach gave Roy time to accept the facts, and then said, "Now I have to ask a very serious question about the Sabbat." He also gave Roy time to mentally build up, "Why are you so obsessed with the Holy Lord?" Belief?"
After hearing this question, Roy looked at Zach with an embarrassing look, "How about I ask you a serious question, why did you secretly give up your faith in the Holy Lord so easily?"
"Because the Tsimich clan is dying." Zach returned the gaze to see who of the two would flinch first. "You, your bloodline, are dying under the sharp claws and teeth of the werewolves. The colonial war has reached a stage. If it goes on, no one can afford the point of so-called 'victory.' So on behalf of Toledo, I took a step back and came up with a result where no one would have to admit 'loser.'"
"Even if this result means you betrayed your creator?" Roy's desire to attack was still quite strong.
The Creation of the Vampire. Oh, this is a topic that, once unfolded, can destroy the cognition of Roy and all Sabbat vampires. Zach was merciful and did not expand on it. "The history of Cain was destroyed by the Holy Lord Faith. The fact is, You and I, all the vampires who are still alive, don’t know what the Holy Lord has done for us besides creating our vampire race. What happened from Cain to our thirteen clans? Betrayed you Say, please tell me first, what did I betray?"
"Who cares about what happened from Cain to the Thirteen Clan? Our existence is because of the Holy Lord. Isn't this enough?"
"Not enough." Zach shook his head, but kept his gaze. "I can even say that I don't care at all who created the vampire race. I only know that the reason why I became a vampire is that certain qualities of me as a human are in line with My father's expectation, he gave me eternal life." Zach's lips curled up, "I will not betray my father, I will not betray my eternal life, and I will not betray Toledo. Can you say the same thing as me? ?”
"me? Roy, I can't go down anymore. He lost this round. A hundred years ago, when he concealed Craig's identity as a Zmich messenger, he completely betrayed his clan, his father, and the eternal life he held.
Zach naturally caught Roy's vulnerable moment under the heavy blow, "Or do you think that grasping the origin of vampires and the belief in the Holy Lord can help you alleviate some of the guilt of true betrayal? Is that so? Roy, the reason why you accompany Rut Lesembula to pursue your faith in the Holy Lord is to make yourself feel at ease?"
Let’s take a look at the front. Zach’s question started from why the Sabbat is so persistent in their faith in the Holy Lord, and now it’s about why Zmich accompanied Lesembula in their belief in the Holy Lord. This is not just the so-called tactical defeat one by one, but also division-
Roy knew in his heart that as the head of the Tsimish clan, he could no longer prove Tsmish's faith in the Holy Lord. He was forced to say, "You don't have to single out Lethembra because of your personal grudges." Take it out! Every clan in the Sabbat is loyal to the faith of the Holy Lord! If you want to say that Lesembula has dictated many things about the Sabbat, hum! I won’t object to you! But about the faith of the Holy Lord! It has nothing to do with Lesembula !Four centuries ago, we voluntarily stood opposite the Secret Federation!"
"No, you didn't voluntarily oppose the Secret Alliance." Zach retorted directly, "At least not Giovanni. You know how unhappy George was with me when I first went to Vega, because I didn't call him when I established the Secret Alliance. He, he has been unhappy about this for four centuries." Ha~ I won’t repeat this~
Zach actually has another example, but there is no need to tell Roy - Cappadocia.
The corners of Roy's eyes twitched. He was already at a disadvantage in this confrontation, but he still persisted, "And Revro! Revro is a true believer! He has true faith!"
"About Revro, I really have nothing to refute you." Zach was not showing weakness, "But before the thirteen clans gathered, Revro, Lesenbra, and my Toledo were all humans. (mentioned in the conversation between Zach and Frank). I would like to (emphasis added) believe that when the Holy Lord summons the thirteen clans, we human aristocratic clans will have influence in the human political class. Our family responded to the call of the Holy Lord, put aside our privileged life, and stepped onto the battlefield. At that time, we had true faith..." The corner of Zach's mouth continued to rise, "But look at it now, about West. You have seen the situation with your own eyes (Black Cat). Whether you believe it or not, she asked to leave this world, so she asked me, the only vampire who can help her speak to the wizard, to make arrangements for her." Zach paused deliberately After a moment, "As Toledo, I once again responded to the Holy Lord's oracle. Do you think I have faith in my heart?"
Roy was shaking, but after expelling a large number of modern weapons, his figure was very thin. After staying in Grande for the past few days, there were no biological parts suitable for him to be incorporated into his body, which kept him thin. It's shaking now, and it doesn't have much visual impact. "Don't insult Revro! Toledo! You know what a gift day travel ability is to Revro! Revro is different from you!"
ha! Roy's answer was exactly what Zach expected, wasn't it? Revro's gratitude to Day Action, Zach had seen it with his own eyes in Newton, what Hughes Revro of Newton did beside Zach Not only Angry Newton Angel accepts Indian soul, but also confesses sunshine.
Because it was expected, Zach knew how to respond, "Yes, the Holy Lord has given Revro the gift that is most suitable for Revro. If I were Revro, I would dedicate everything to my faith. Then why In the colonial war, it was you, Zmich, who suffered the most casualties."
When talking to Zach, you must remember one thing. Don’t let him control the rhythm. It will make you doubt your life.
Roy's pupils shrank. Why did Toledo start poking at the sore spots of his Zmish clan again? "Lei, Revro is not a fighting clan!" Roy could only say this, and was forced to admit a fact that he shouldn't admit - fighting clans should fight, and they deserve to die or be injured.
"When we were defeated one after another in the war against the creations of the witchcraft system, and Zmich was suffering from the pain of death, what did your friends in the faith do? Apart from continuing to let Zmich die later..." Zach asked What is the meaning of the words? "Tell me, are you still enjoying eternal life now because of my order to abandon the Holy Lord's faith and stop the war? Or is it because of these things that you think are the true beliefs of the Holy Lord?" Sabbat friends of believers.”
Zach's purpose emerged. Zach didn't care why Zmich was so persistent in his belief in the Holy Lord. Zach believed that there were some big, oh, big, big truths that Roy could tell if he was given enough preparation time. But does it make sense? Zach just needs to make Zmich fully aware of one thing now -
"Roy Zmich, you are alive because of me. If you want to believe in something, believe in me." Zach kept watching.
"You... you..." Roy's current mood couldn't tell whether it was atmosphere or ridicule, "You... what do you think you are?! God?!"
"One thing I've never understood about the Federation is why the pinnacle of faith requires a god."
This is an unexpected intervention.
Pucci stood at the door of the warehouse with a cup of hot tea, "In the Republic, everything is faith, so according to your understanding, everything can become a god. But you already know that this is just culture Yes, misunderstanding."
Roy looked away first. He had already lost in the gaze. There was no point in insisting. "This is between us sucking blood..."
Zach interrupted Roy. Of course, he also glanced at Pucci who suddenly came in. Zach had to intervene in the sudden behavior of the Republic God. Hey. "Roy, don't be distracted. You know I'm not arrogant. I'm just telling you a fact. You should believe me and I'm worthy of your trust. You see, history has proven that I saved your life twice. Eternal life, once four centuries ago and once now.”
Roy's instinct was to refute, but could he refute? He is now in the 'political asylum' of Grandri. Isn't this the second time he was saved by Toledo
The reason why Zach needs to use this as Roy's ideological premise is, "The fallen angels of the Republic, I don't want them to be used by the Sabbat, well, how should I say, used by the Sabbat, whether it is Lesembra No matter what, other clans use their loyalty to the faith as a reason to do what they want to achieve in their selfish desires. I declare that I still have no interest in the faith of the Holy Lord. What I do is not that I am a believer, but that I completely stand. From the standpoint of vampire interests, I do not want the interests of vampires in this world to be violated by any creature from other worlds. If I have faith, it is me, a vampire, and my eternal life as a vampire in this world. Are you willing to stand by me? ?" (To be continued)
