Ancestors office.
Zach is teaching, teaching Toledo from the Ancestors Office how to use the Eye of Charm efficiently.
"The trick is not to mess with short-term memory for convenience, but to find the deepest memory, replace it, and then let the brain do the rest of the work." Zach's attention has been diverted, and he is leaving the teaching scene while doing the final Explain, "For this to work, all you need to do is change the scenario in which everyone meets Sheila, and then the brain's autocorrection will do the rest."
Then, Zach stood by the window of his ancestors' office and looked at Benjamin's Mokavi who was talking about something in the window, "Don't distract your attention with irrelevant things." This was said to Benjamin, "Hurry up with Mokawi to discuss a candidate to replace Sheila, and then let me go home."
What Benjamin and Mokawi were discussing was the fact that Zach suddenly vomited blood on the way.
Benjamin pulled down the curtains to isolate Zach's face, and then continued the discussion with Mokavi: "Have you ever seen this happen? A vampire suddenly vomiting blood that does not belong to him?"
"I didn't." Mokawi was unexpectedly very serious. As a vampire who once said frankly to Zach that he wanted to be grateful to Toledo, this topic made Mokawi very serious, "Do you still have the blood? If If it’s not Zach’s blood, I might be able to use Lesembra’s senses to taste the information in the blood.”
Benjamin turned out the clothes he had changed out of when he got home and handed them to Mokavi.
The blood stains on the clothes had long since dried up, so Mokawi mixed some water with it, held it in his hand and sucked on it. Even though the image is ridiculous, it has an effect.
"I tasted..." Mokawi tilted his head, "Joy, the kind that is difficult to control. Then, frustration, the kind that is difficult to control..."
Benjamin's face wrinkled, "You just said two emotions that cannot be mixed together."
"They are not mixed together." Mokawi continued to suck the blood. "The joy started at first, lasted for a while, and then turned into frustration. It's like someone suddenly got something they dreamed of for a period of time and then It was lost quickly.”
"So who went from joy to frustration?" Benjamin needed more information.
"I don't know." The clothes in Mokawi's hands were completely soaked. "I can't taste it. The mood changes so quickly. There is no special information recorded in the blood."
Can the curtains stop Zach? cannot.
Zach entered the room and stood in front of Benjamin and Mokawi, "Please don't waste time on this kind of thing. I'm fine. It's probably just that there was something dirty on Sheila's cup. I didn't pay attention..."
Benjamin opened his mouth to speak, but Mokavi beat him to it. Mokavi put a hand on Zach's shoulder, "No, you're not okay. We're named vampires for a reason, we suck, we don't spit." Uh, "And you puked, unless you're not a vampire Well, then there must be something happening here that we cannot ignore."
Zach felt Mokawi's hand on his shoulder, which was not honest... Mokawi was rubbing Zach's shoulder.
Zach quickly realized what Mokavi was doing and asked expressionlessly, "Am I still a vampire?"
Mokawi was not embarrassed by being exposed and retracted his hand, "You are still the same. At least it still feels the same. I can still feel your eternal body and corrupt soul."
Zach looked at Benjamin and was not prepared to reason with Mokawi. "Even if you come to the conclusion that I'm not good, what then?" He took the wet clothes from Mokawi's hand and said, "Yes. Is there a solution?”
"We don't even know why you are vomiting blood and where can you find the solution." Benjamin frowned.
"That's right." Zach gave a very agreeable expression, "It sounds like no one has a clue about me vomiting blood, not even your wife." Zach didn't want to call Mokawi this way, but in order to push forward I can only endure the topic, "Even your wife can't say anything. So, I think we can reach a consensus that this is a small accident that is not worthy of wasting any of our time. Let's just skip it, right?" Benjamin looked at him tightly. Frowning, Zach pressed, "Right?!"
Zach could actually tell that this was Benjamin caring about him, but in the current situation where the two brothers were at different frequencies, this concern would only create... melancholy.
"You're right, are you happy?" Benjamin responded to Zach, shaking his head, "Get out, we husband and wife need a private space to discuss life issues."
Zach nodded and left consciously. Life issues? That’s how to arrange Sheila’s replacement.
Coming outdoors again, Toledo, who had been listening to Charming Eyes' teaching before, had left to find a target to practice. Zach stood on the back porch, 'eavesdropping' on the progress of the discussion indoors.
Mokavi had similar ideas to Benjamin, and did not want to take over the position vacated by Sheila in the West End. The reason was that Sheila was very busy at work and was active between the two classes in the West End 365 days a year. If Mokavi takes over this job, she will no longer have time to participate in the commissions of the Zuzu Firm.
And Mokawi is very self-conscious. She knows that dealing with people is not what she is good at, especially those in the West End. Mokavi preferred to stay in the Ancestors' office and work for the needs of the alien race.
Before the discussion was interrupted by Zach's little accident, Mokawi was mentioning a world view that Zach had never thought of...
Mokavi said that her stay in the Ancestors' Office was necessary for the vampire race, and that the Ancestors' Office was different from the attitude of the Secret and Sabbat towards foreign races. As a vampire, a top-level vampire, what she can represent in the Ancestors Agency is bigger than what replacing Sheila in the West End represents.
Mokavi is a symbol, a symbol that breaks the stereotype of vampires in the minds of other alien races: she is not another vampire who is immersed in the process of human civilization like the Secret or the Sabbat.
Zach was somewhat looking forward to Mokavi's wonderful thoughts and what other interesting things he could say about this worldview. Unfortunately, the discussion between Benjamin and Mokawi did not develop according to Zach's expectations. The couple who started the discussion again were already listing who else, besides Mokawi, could the Ancestors Firm ask to take over Sheila's job.
Most of the names the couple mentioned were ones that Zach had never heard of.
The good reputation of the Ancestors Office among the foreign races has long made its social resources beyond Zach's understanding. Unlike the aliens in Barton who all have a stable life, many of the aliens who came through Newton did not have a stable social identity before entrusting the Ancestors Firm. These aliens have now obviously become the human resources of the Ancestors Firm. .
This fills in the hole where Benjamin asked Mayor Anthony for a bunch of legal identities. Zach believed that if he wrote down the list that Benjamin was talking about now, and then checked with Emilia, he should be able to get to know a bunch of new aliens who had obtained 'residency recognition' in Barton.
But Zach didn't want to do this boring thing and continued to 'eavesdrop' on Benjamin and Mokawe discussing the merits of each nomination. until
Mokawi proposed that Ravenchi take Sheila's job.
Mokawi: "If it's Ravenchi, he can brilliantly change the tense relationship between werewolves and vampires in the middle of the Federation. Because Ravenchi, like you, is a lonely Alpha, and he also represents Papa Midnight's direct line. With the current position of the Sabbat vampires in the world due to Zach's changes, and the gradual unification of Papa Midnight's worldview (love this world), Ravenci can do more than you, the Alpha who married a vampire as his wife, things. Ravenci can change the werewolf's attitude towards vampires from a more objective and authoritative position. For example, after finally obtaining a stable and prosperous living environment, he can start to expand his wolf pack and spread the current Sabbat and werewolf Everyone needs to accept a new worldview~"
To be honest, Zach wasn't surprised by anything that came out of Mokawi's mouth. This clan ancestor who has gathered all the abilities of the thirteen clans has a reason for her existence.
Benjamin: "So, let Zach change the principles of dealing with vampires, and let Ravenci change the principles of dealing with werewolves. Then our ancestors' office, in the middle, can do what we are good at without being disturbed, and benefit all other alien races. Run us Married life makes this world a better place. Sounds perfect." Pause, "I love you, my..."
At this, and before Benjamin could say something that would make Zach uncomfortable to be called, Zach left the back porch and could go home.
