dinner time. Grandry really has a bunch of food prepared, but none of it stays at Grandry.
Packs of overly rich food were taken out of the boxes and all were taken to Grande's neighbor, Pochquin.
Zach's own hands were full of food, and so was Annabel's, as well as the hands of Lily and Nana. Three aliens stood at the door of Pochquin's house, plus one who could hardly hold the food. The girl faced Andrew inside the door and said, "Hurry up and open the door! Didn't your mother tell you not to let girls wait?"
Pochi just doesn't want to be visited by Zach anymore, and he can't resist the social pressure that has been put on his face...
He said insincerely, "Please come in."
"Thanks."
Before dinner officially begins, there are a few things that need to be mentioned.
After Mr. Smith left, Zach waited until Lily came back, called people into the office, and told Lily the known relationship between Papa Midnight and the Republic. Then, "Lily, do you know what I mean when I tell you this?"
Lily thought for a while, "You want to use the excuse of thanking Moon for helping Nana solve the school problem to ask Pochquin to summon Papa Midnight, and finally get in touch with Pucci and rescue Sam?"
"Yes, but this purpose is too superficial. I need you to go deeper, otherwise I will be very disappointed." Zach began to say incomprehensible words.
"Are you disappointed in me? Why? Am I yours?" Lily deliberately acted aloof. Her identity was just that of a guy who came to Toledo to take refuge after the Sabbat in the West lost power. , to put it bluntly, I’m just here to hug my thighs. The way he looks aloof now is to regain his respect, and he doesn't want to be too humble in front of Zach.
Roy has also experienced this psychological process, so there is nothing surprising.
"You are Root's secretary, the woman who has been closest to vampire rule in the world." Zach understands Lily's psychology. There is no need to reveal anything. Just like Roy, those who come to Grande will eventually stay in Grande. To find her own place, Zach might as well give Lily a push, allowing Lily to quickly find the meaning of her existence in Grande besides being a refuge.
Oh, there's another reason. Giving Lily some purpose in life may relieve Logan's pressure...
Zach saw that Lily's expression had changed and continued, "You know every decision Lutre Sembula made at the Sabbat. Others may think that Lut is a dictator, but as the person closest to him, You know the reasoning behind every decision he makes. That's right."
Lily no longer needed to be aloof, she straightened her chest and tightened her abdomen, "That's right. It's just that because of the alien social status classification in the Sabbat, no one will respect my job as a 'secretary'." Looking at Zach, "As objective as you are The people who look at my work situation don’t exist.”
"The first day you came to Barton, I told you that this is not the Sabbat of the West." Zach was very satisfied with Lily's natural confidence. Waving her hand, Lily's mental state has been mobilized. What Zach really wants to talk about is: "Just like this morning, when Roy was still not clear about the significance of Barton to federal politics, you already knew that Barton had left the Sabbat Lute. The established position. So." Zach gave Lily a smile, "I can say that you are one of the few people in this world who knows what is really happening in the world, right~"
Lily seemed a little uncomfortable with being so praised by a vampire, and her confident expression slightly changed, "It's not that good. At least after I announced that Barton's political significance no longer existed, you immediately revealed Barton's new meaning. This It’s something I don’t know.”
Zach's satisfaction continued, "This is not a problem, it's just that you just came to Barton. The political situation of the Federation used to be in the Western Sabbat, and it was enough for you to watch by Root's side. But now, the Sabbat is just the situation of the entire world It’s just a small piece of the world that the alien races of the Federation, including vampires, face. The Tsimich in the North, the alien races and governments of the Republic, beliefs, humans, alien races, everything in this world. Your information is only slightly lagging behind. Narrow, if you supplement this information, you will still be one of the few people who understand the real process of the world."
Lily seemed to be aware of the direction Zach was pushing, "Why should I listen to you... Do you want..." A rather strange conclusion, "Let me be your secretary??"
Ah, I don’t blame Lily either. Lily's self-positioning is actually quite accurate. Although Zach praises her, she knows that her so-called knowledge of what is really happening in the world is because she once watched by Root's side.
Then Root's death, accompanied by the movement of the center of the turbulent world situation from the west of the Union to the Grand Funeral Home in the small city of Barton. Lily's vision around Root was no longer enough. The Toledo vampire in the Grand Funeral Home has created a world structure that is no longer limited to a single country, faith or race.
And this Toledo vampire seriously pulled himself into the office and said this. Well, anyone would think that Zach wanted to give Lily... a 'promotion and a raise'.
If Root was still alive at this time, Zach would be Chi Guoguo's poacher.
Zach was not surprised that Lily would come to such a conclusion. He smiled kindly and said, "I have a 'secretary', Louise. She is just on vacation right now." Then, "Your secretary's functions are necessary in any organization." There is a more suitable place for the administrative power collection position to play its role and it should not be buried in Grandry."
Lily had never expected to be Zach's secretary before, so she was not disappointed now. On the contrary, "Don't talk about Barton's city government, I have seen a lot of information about Aisela from Rutelecenbra before. I have no interest in getting between her and your mayor friend."
Lily's sense of smell is also very keen. Zach wants Lily to broaden her horizons and make up for the lagging information. Apart from Grande, the most suitable place to make up for the information is the Barton Political Center, which has re-embellished the political significance of the new world pattern.
Coupled with Lily's work qualifications as a human being, it is not surprising that she was offered the position of Mayor Barton's secretary.
But, that’s not what Zach was thinking. What Zach was thinking was, “I didn’t say city government, I wanted to say the nursing home in Portchquin.”
"What?"
"Papa Midnight is in Barton. No, in today's Federation, the only contact is Pochquin. If you want to contact Papa Midnight and the Republican God Pucci, Pochquin is the only way. Emilia is here In the sanatorium of Pochquin, the work of reviewing the entry of outside aliens into Barton is carried out. Among them are many aliens who have migrated from the Western Sabbat to the east. These are the native alien races of our Federation. The research subject Roy is currently following, Corden is now in Doing the job of Amelia's assistant, but Roy also noticed the movements of hunters who were in contact with Corden. Mayor Anthony was recruiting these hunters."
Zach paused for a moment. We have already discussed what a visionary mayor Anthony is. In the conversation with Roy in the morning, Zach also explained that the aliens in Barton have been taken over by Zach and his gang (Grande, Ancestors). The firm, Paisin Wizard, Mary Church Devil) are all in control and it is impossible to cause trouble. Anthony is still recruiting hunters to prepare for the rainy day, so there is a half chance that he is preparing to defend against the threat of alien races in the Republic. , the Sabbat shouldn’t hinder it, right
Well, the other half may be the secret room of alien files in the city government. Recruiting hunters is a companion piece to the Chamber of Secrets, something that should be passed down to any human who becomes Mayor of Barton.
But this possibility won't help Zach's plan, so throw it away.
"Lily, you have been in Barton for a while. Do you think there is any room for hunters in Barton?"
"No, I remember the information from when Ravenci was still a hunter. He clearly burned an Earthbinder (Ryan) who snatched other people's bodies to death in Barton, but he was judged by you as a terrorist attack by an illegal armed group according to human law. Absolutely. With the alien race of humans and human laws, the career choice of a hunter in Barton is seeking death." This is an incisive summary.
"That's exactly it." Zach nodded, "So the mayor has other plans for recruiting hunters. If I had to guess, it's the alien race of the Republic that no one in Barton can control now."
"Using hunters to deal with those alien races in the Republic who can each call themselves gods? Anthony must have lost his mind!"
"No, he didn't." Don't forget one thing, don't forget what Nuo told Zach. "The mayor, through Barton's gray professionals, acquired a batch of weapons used by the republican government against republican aliens."
Have you remembered? These weapons were the transmission channels that were once at the Southern District Police Station and connected to the Republic. After 'Jian' came to Barton, the transmission channel was closed, causing Chief Cologne of the Southern District Police Department to find a way to deal with this batch of illegal weapons stocks that suddenly doubled (the doubling was because the wizard family used to circulate the republican government's weapons through this channel. Weapons were brought to the central part to arm ordinary Indians. No one took advantage of the extra inventory after the wizard family's affair was exposed), so as not to be caught by the North District Police Department when the Southern District Police Department expanded (the expansion of the Southern District Police Department was Because of the construction of the new port in the southern district, I asked Zach to help build relationships to win the opportunity). And Nuo was still under the influence of the Charming Eyes at that time. In order to increase his own safety, he privately collected these weapons, which resulted in insufficient funds. Then after the Charming Eyes were lifted, he took Zach to do the commission. Working capital chain.
It was at that time that Nuo told Zach that the buyer of the weapons he had was Mayor Anthony~
To sum up what Lily needs to know, it is the above sentence, "The weapon of the mayor's gray professionals against the alien races of the Republic."
Zach watched Lily's expression change, "The center of the world situation is not in Grande or the city government, but in the sanatorium in Pochquin. Do you want to go?"
"I guess." Good answer.
"Very well, let's prepare dinner. You will be the star of the neighbor's visit tonight."
