In the afternoon, Sibella's funeral ended. Most of the people attending the funeral left, but a few people stayed in Grande.
The first was Bumi Knofil, who came to Zac to complain. I don’t know if you still remember the earliest alliance between the wizards led by Nofeile and Sibella. As the two highest-ranking second-generation vampires in the Nofile clan, Dora chose Sibella, and Bumi chose John. .
Then didn't John leave Barton for a while, and then came back to Barton with the Firefly family of wizards in the middle. Bumi, who had no partner during this period, went to the southeast for a while, following Zack's request to keep an eye on the movements of the 'General' and the Skull.
As a result, the skull demon was sent to heaven by the 'General's' vampire gang, and Bumi's work for nearly a season turned into a bubble. Then Sibella, who was on the wizard's side, tried to betray the wizard family. John was in an awkward position before everyone broke up, and Bumi didn't bother to maintain the relationship with John.
Now that everything has settled, the relationship between vampires and Sibera's wizard alliance is getting closer - Sibera and Dora, who are still inhuman, have become role models for their respective groups, forming a complementary duo after Zack and Sam. Group. The wizard and other vampires in Nofele also reached an agreement with each other. When the wizard's human life ends, the vampire will supply blood to complete the 'evolution' of the life form and form a combination.
Under such a general trend, Bumi and John are a bit embarrassed.
Bumi was complaining about this, "I haven't mentioned the agreement with John yet. Oh, it's annoying."
But Zach couldn't help much in this matter. This kind of wizard-vampire combination that will bring about a new alien pattern cannot be forced. This can only be achieved by mutual recognition of the two parties involved.
Therefore, Zach could only accompany Bumi for a while.
The second person to stay in Grande was Tam. This guy is here to cause trouble, "Where's Leo? Why can't I find Leo? I know he came to see you! Where did you take him?!"
Also remember that this Tam and that Leo are both alien races left over from a certain mainstream belief in this world. It's just that their time has passed long ago, and they are still alive now, but they are just dawdling.
Zach was not surprised that Leo did not share the news of his return to purgatory. Zach had told Leo that this was the secret of the complete vampire body.
Let’s recall what Zach told Leo at that time. Have any impression? That’s right—Zach told Leo that after telling him the reason for sending him to purgatory, this secret is still a secret that no one knows in this world~
So Zach's answer to Tam was, "He wanted to go somewhere and I sent him there."
"Where?!" Tam demanded more facts.
"Purgatory." The reason why Zach is so honest is that the current situation is different from the current situation at that time. At that time, Zach had no way to resolve the contradiction between vampire blood and obtaining souls from heaven and hell. Now that the wave of wizard-vampire combinations has been pushed forward, some things no longer need to be kept secret, "with 'Colt.'"
Zach didn't want to explain it all over again, so he called Roy over, "Roy, Tam, Tam, Roy. Now that you know each other, let's talk."
The third person left in Grande... was at least human. Emilia Browning.
She's not technically meant to be in Grande, her purpose is Grande neighbor, Porky Queen.
Remember when the wizard family first came and put the souls of the wizards who were now taken away by Sibella into the sanatorium, did the sanatorium need a professional psychologist to deal with the psychological problems of the patients in the sanatorium? correct. The doctor working with the sanatorium at that time was Emilia.
Now that those souls have been taken away by Sibella, Emilia is not considered unemployed. After all, she still has her own clinic, but her career is definitely missing a big part.
The reason why she stayed in Grande was quite wonderful. She wanted Zach to help her convince Poch, "When I worked with Poch, I realized that his nursing home was a very good place. It is too wasteful to only use it to receive the souls of those Indian wizard families. He should open the door to welcome those foreigners who want to enter Barton... "
"Wait a minute." Zach interrupted Amelia, "How do you know that there are aliens who want to enter Barton?"
"Harrison is not deaf. He knows about this matter about Barton's alien change and I know about it."
"No." Zach didn't mean to refute Emilia's statement, but, "If I remember correctly, you hate everything related to alien races. I'm not surprised that Harrison knows about alien trends, but you will Hearing things like this is what makes me weird.”
Emilia put on a solemn face like a psychiatrist, "People can change, do you need me to teach you, vampire?"
Zach decided to shut up and motioned for Amelia to continue.
Emilia continued, "We all know that the structure and relationship between Barton's aliens and humans are very complicated. This complex and delicate balance forms a balance, thank you." He hummed and continued, "So I think it is necessary to comment on any aliens who try to join our big society of Barton. You also don't want the slime buying your blood that happened in Rimel's nightclub (Thorin) to happen again, Right."
Zach raised his eyebrows. This makes sense. Barton's social environment is indeed not suitable for mixing in those inexplicable characters. A small incident may affect the entire alien race and human society.
Emilia gave Zach time to think, "Now the person who introduces outsiders to Barton is your brother, Benjamin. Ha, I think the combination of Benjamin and Mokawi is not capable of completing this kind of evaluation work. , you won’t object.”
No objection.
"I can do this job." Emilia showed herself, but her words did not end. "The only problem is that I am still a fragile human being. If I want to review an alien race, there will be some practical problems. ." Emilia paused for three seconds here, and Zach didn't read any useful expression on her face. As we all know, Emilia is also a master in psychology. Her major is this. It cannot be said that she has four centuries of life experience higher than Zach, but at least as long as Emilia is willing, she cannot be in three seconds. What useful information was revealed to Zach in his expression, "But if my working environment was the sanatorium of Poch Quinn, Papa Midnight's spokesperson for the Federation, I believe that no alien in the world would dare to deal with it. What do I do?" There was a smile on the corner of Amelia's mouth, "Porch Quinn's sanatorium environment, my profession, together, harmonious Barton, happiness for you, me and him."
This last slogan fully demonstrated that Emilia was well prepared. This 'speech' must have been practiced countless times.
Zach felt the sincerity, "Then let me ask a question, why should I tell Poch? Your reason is very good, you can tell him yourself."
Emilia's answer was very simple, "I'm worried that Porky doesn't care about Barton's harmonious development."
Yes, this is a sufficient reason.
Zach accepted the assignment and called the nursing home while Amelia watched.
The process went smoothly, inevitably. Porky initially refused to be asked by the vampire to open the sanatorium, but Zach made an important point that Porch couldn't refuse - Porky Quinn's position in Barton was very awkward. He and Barton were All other interracial groups have little or no cordial relations. There is absolutely no problem in living a life without caring about social relationships, but if you want to do something, don't blame yourself for not having friends around you.
Emilia proposed this evaluation project, which can obviously help Poch gain a positive perception among Barton's aliens.
When Emilia heard what Zac said, she squinted her eyes and said to herself, "Yes, he deserves to be called Toledo among vampires."
When Zach glanced at Amelia, Amelia had already returned to her normal expressionless face.
As expected, Emilia is still a little weird. But Zach wasn't going to delve into it. Well, with Harrison's episode in the morning, Zach didn't want to get involved with this interracial couple now. It saves me another excuse for meddling in other people's lives.
The affairs of the three temporary Grand guests have been dealt with one by one, and Zach has the energy to deal with the real problem——
In the Grand Entertainment Room, a boy who looked like he was only 6 or 7 years old was staring at the TV screen intently.
Cappadocia clan watching a movie.
"Xiao Ka..." This title made Zach soft-spoken, but it was the way of address requested by the patriarch himself. "Is the movie good?" Zach asked as he stood at the door of the entertainment room.
I remember that Zach had decided to have a formal meeting with this ancestor in a civilized manner. The formal meeting that Zach expected was definitely not like this.
"It doesn't look good." The boy's voice was very confused, "Why do humans think that the thing that destroys the world will be something flying down from the sky."
Uh... Zach randomly found the movie from the TV cabinet. After Kepler came to live in Grande, he added a lot of things to Grande's only entertainment method. Zach just took one at random.
This is a science fiction film, it seems to be about an alien invasion or something...
The Cappadocia clan is still staring at the explosions and lasers on the screen... "Aren't things that destroy the world always around humans?"
Zach covered his head. Zach couldn't answer this question. He could only say, "This is just a movie, a fantasy, and a lie."
"Aren't we a human fantasy anymore?"
There is a question from the soul... Oh no, the Cappadocia clan has no soul.
"Uh..." Zach quickly walked to the TV cabinet and rummaged through Kepler's tape inventory, "We still have it, but we seem to be called fantasy..." Zach had the impression that girls like Kepler watched this type of music. movie, Ying turned a zombie-eating horror movie into a comedy.
"What's the difference? Fantasy and science fiction?"
Zach was still rummaging, but Jue's ancestor's gaze on one side was no longer on the screen, and he was looking directly at him, which really shocked Zach.
Zach stopped flipping, knowing that this question needed to be answered seriously, "Well, probably, science fiction is human beings' fantasy about their current technological civilization. Fantasy is the fantasy about things like us that exist in legends."
"We are not in the legend." The Cappadocia clan ancestor looked very serious, opening his eyes that were unusually large on his small head, "We are here and have always been here."
"I know, but we're not very, uh..." Zach was thinking about the wording, "so obvious here, right. We have always maintained some mystery." This thing is really hard to describe, one that does exist How do things become legends
But the Cappadocia clan understood what Zach meant, "Oh." His little head nodded, "That's right, I remember before I came to this continent, you Toledo were always outside protecting vampires. Because of your reputation, those vampire aliens who openly suck human blood will either be executed or punished by you." He paused and looked at the screen again, "I guess for you Toledo, it is better for you than for the victims. Humans explain that noble vampires have nothing to do with abandoned vampire aliens. It would be more convenient to use your eyes to make them forget the existence of vampires."
Zach was speechless for a moment.
We have been reading this story for so long, and no one has yet summarized Zach’s work four centuries ago so incisively!
Now we know why aliens became fantasy, because Toledo was greedy for convenience!
"How long will this battle last?" the Cappadocia clan ancestor asked again.
Zach glanced at the video recorder display and said, "It will be over in half an hour."
"Can you fast forward? I want to see the result. Is it human beings who win, or the people in the sky imagined by human beings who win?"
Zach blinked and stared at the buttons on the video recorder, recalling in his mind - a triangle means play, a square means stop...
A button was selected and Zach pressed it.
Zach pressed the right button, and the picture on the screen distorted and accelerated. The Cappadocia clan ancestor stared at the screen motionlessly, as if he still received the information in the distorted picture.
Zack stopped fast forwarding.
"Did the people in heaven win?" The Cappadocia clan ancestor stood up from the sofa, "Did humans lose?" He looked genuinely surprised.
Zach couldn't understand why the Cappadocia ancestors would care about this kind of thing for the time being, but... Zach took the box of the video tape and said, "Uh... No, there will be a second part of this movie, this is just the first one... "
Zach began to regret why he chose such a movie at random.
The Cappadocia clan ancestor sat back on the sofa again, "I want to watch the second part."
What can Zach say? Start looking for the second one. Playing it for the other party, I saw the beginning of the continuation of the ending of the previous part. Zach tentatively said, "Do you need to fast forward?"
"Forget it, I want to see how the protagonist reassembles the resistance team."
"Okay." Zach stood up from the TV cabinet and prepared to exit the entertainment room.
Before leaving, "Xiao Ka..." was still soft-spoken, but Zach knew that he could get used to it, "Are you sure you don't want me to call Nenad and tell him you are here?"
"Sure." Xiaoka turned his head and looked at Zach with innocent eyes, "I don't want my grandson to think that I am a troublesome grandfather. Promise me that you will not tell anyone that I am here, okay?"
"I promise you… "
"Thank you." (To be continued)
