At night, Zach came to a residential area in the eastern part of Vega. The place was designated by Revero, without explaining why. Zach walked quietly alone to the designated location.
Zach was the only one on the street because Vega was enforcing a curfew. Partial curfew, not citywide. There are no restrictions in neighborhoods where recreational facilities are concentrated. Curfews are only imposed in areas where residential buildings are concentrated. The reason for the different treatment is quite obvious, that is, those floating population in the anti-alien movement, such as tourists, can continue to spend money in Vega and enjoy everything this city can provide. Then the freedom of Vega's resident population is restricted, anti-foreign elements are less able to cause trouble at night, and threatened alien families can also receive some protection.
The murder of the tree people had nothing to do with the anti-alien movement. Zach actually didn't quite understand why Revro called him here.
Streets with nothing on them are quite boring, and Zach has no interest in spying on the families in the houses on both sides of the road. The bored Zach could only count the street lights, watch his own shadow run from behind to in front of him, and then watch the shadow leading the way be pushed behind him by the street lights in front of him. Repeatedly.
Suddenly, a person appeared in the space illuminated by the streetlight in front of him. It was Revro. He waved to Zach and then pointed to a house. Revero disappears.
Zach pouted, what's the mystery? Or is it showing off? Showing off Revro's projection ability in front of Toledo
Zach didn't bother to delve into Revro's psychology and followed the direction he was pointed at.
The house was the same as the one Zach had seen along the way. It was a two-story single-family house with a small yard, similar to Paisying's house. However, this should be considered a middle-class configuration in Vega. The property prices in Barton are no longer on the same level as Vega.
Walking onto the front porch, Zach rang the doorbell.
The door opened, and it was Revro himself, "You're late." He didn't care about Zack returning indoors.
"I'm not familiar with the streets of Vega." Zach politely entered the house and closed the door. He followed Revro inside and glanced at the featureless indoor layout. "Your home?"
"Hmph, I won't care about your insult." Revro waved his hand as he walked in front, so this house did not belong to Revro. He opened the door to the basement, "You first."
Zach really didn't know what Revro had to appetize, so he pouted and walked down the stairs to the basement.
It can be seen that the original owner of this house arranged a very special function for the basement.
Under the dim light, Zach saw various instruments of detention and punishment. There is also a trace of stale blood floating in the air. Zach frowned and looked back at Revro, who had also come down, "Who lives here?"
"It's not important. The owner of the property has already been cremated in one of your funeral homes in Toledo." Revro replied, then walked purposefully towards a cabinet with various utensils and pushed the cabinet open. , gestured to the exposed baffle, and easily opened the baffle, "You first."
Uh, there's a basement below this basement. Zach tugged at the corner of his mouth speechlessly, then walked ahead and went downstairs.
New basement, empty.
Zach looked into the small space, "What am I looking at?"
Revro raised his hand behind Zach and held down Zach's head. It was quite a rude move, but Zach tolerated it because Revro was just telling Zach to look down.
The ground is densely painted with witchcraft incantations. With Zach's meager knowledge of witchcraft, Zach didn't recognize this witchcraft array. However, Zach heard someone he knew, Sam, "Papa's Midnight Teleportation Array."
"Papa's midnight teleportation array." Revro actually heard Sam whispering in Zach's ear, "I only thought it was some kind of witchcraft ritual, but I didn't expect its function and background to be so big~" his tone was Obviously mocking, while staring at Zach's side face, he didn't want to see Zach's skin, what he wanted to see was the wizard ghost Sam attached to Toledo's body!
Zach frowned slightly, already thinking about it, and said the thought process, "It's John. John initially studied the Republican teleportation array that Papa left at Barton at midnight. The wizard family in the middle went to Barton's At that time, Sibera accepted them and let them enter the Tower of Babel in Rimel to study witchcraft together among the three parties." Zach was telling Revro that the enemy of vampires now is not Papa Midnight, so there is no need to make sarcastic comments there. The God of Witchcraft, "When the central wizard family pretended to be kind, Siberella and Rimel were undefended. This teleportation array witchcraft should have been stolen by the wizard family during that period, just like they stole vampire blood to create alien races. (Alpha and Ghost) have the same technology."
Revro didn't want to give Zach face. Of course he knew that Barton, where Zach was located, the Barton wizard and Rimel were all allies of the Sabbat. It was only a matter of time before he joined the Sabbat (depending on the progress of Roy and Giovanni) ). But some habits that have lasted for four centuries cannot be changed so quickly. "Bara Bala, it's all caused by those of you who were not from the Sabbat before."
Zach glanced at Revro and shook his head. Forget it, we can't see each other when we look up. We are all 'brothers' of the Sabbat now. The other party can only mock him verbally, "So Revro has known it for a long time." There is a security vulnerability in Vega, why haven’t you done anything?”
"Don't you understand people's words? Did I know this earlier? I just found out that this is a teleportation array!" Refro curled his lips and was quiet for a while, "When Root was still alive." The tone was normal, just a narrative. , probably trying to connect some fragments of events, "Thank you. When you first came to Vega, you told him that Papa Midnight used witchcraft to steal the development of the west and raised a wizard family in the middle. Root was obsessed with for some time investigating clues to urban development stolen by witchcraft.”
While Zach was exploring the vampire race in Barton and exploring his own meaning, Lutre Sembra of the Sabbat was clearly not idle.
Revro continued, "Soon after, Root handed over the job to another second-generation Lesembula." He glanced at Zach and said, "How much do you remember about 'Nina'? .”
Zach dug into his memory, "Nina Lesembula, I have no impression." This is the truth. When the thirteen clans gathered and came to this continent to launch a colonial war, the clan ancestors had already chosen the second-generation vampire to lead the clan. Representative, Root as a representative of Lesembra never agreed with Toledo’s battlefield proposal on behalf of Zach. Privately, it was impossible for Zach to still be in the mood to deal with other Lesembulas.
"Then I advise you to get to know this Nina quickly. She will be Toledo's opponent in the Sabbat."
Zach had no expression, "Thanks for letting me know." Toledo's opponent in the Sabbat? No, she doesn't deserve it. Zach is the ancestor of Toledo, and this Nina is just a party fighting for power within the Lesembra clan today! At best, Hank's contender for Lesembra's powers! Want to touch Zach, she is a bit far behind Hank, and, haha, Frank~
However, gratitude is a must. No matter what Revro's next narration is, Zach has already heard that this Nina is the real culprit in the tree murder!
How did things go from Root's witchcraft investigation to the emergence of a witchcraft teleportation array in Vega's residential area? "Please continue." Zach asked Revro to continue explaining.
"The Secret Alliance's screening of orphans in the middle of the country allows Lesembra to always have access to the situation in the middle of the country." Revro shrugged, "Even if we, Revro, were not inspired by you Toledo, huh!" This is it! Childishly arrogant, "Before starting to take advantage of the development of modern civilization and build a surveillance network, Lesembula has been in contact with some dirty things in the middle of the country." The 'dirty things' he was talking about were obviously wizards. After all, Lesembula was investigating the theft and development of the Sabbat by wizard families in the central region.
Zach nodded, "The Secret Alliance Orphan Screening in the Central Region requires those foreign vampires to take the initiative to expose themselves and prove their ability to survive as vampires in a civilized society (the vampire superior class of the Sabbat)." If you still remember, You should be able to recall that half of this plan at that time was to deliberately seduce the vampire-hating forces in the middle, humans, aliens, or even wizards, and then provide the fallen angels hiding in the middle with a chance to be rescued by Jessica. "Even if there are casualties, they are still the orphans of the Secret Alliance. Those foreign vampires are not important in the first place. Lethembra picked up a 'gun' in vain."
Revro glanced sideways at Zach and returned to sarcasm, "In the final analysis, these things were all caused by you in Barton. Tell me, ancestor of the Toledo clan, did you realize at that time that you were giving Lesembra Any chance of contacting the wizards in the middle of the country?”
Zach answered calmly, "I realized it." It was boring to be ridiculed by Revro all the time. "Otherwise, why do you think I am so sure that the Sabbat agreed to select the orphans of the Secret Alliance? Just a single bloodline of thirteen clans. Is it a grand ambition?" Zach shook his head, "Because I know that obtaining the central part is beneficial to the Sabbat. Lute is smart. He knows that it will be a matter of time for the Sabbat to expand to the central part. The Secret Alliance is no longer there, and the wizard family in the central part is the Sabbat. The biggest obstacle. But which of your clans is willing to plunge into the central part of the country that you don’t know anything about and serve as the vanguard?” Do you still remember how the vampires who went to Barton from the Sabbat became cowardly in the early stage, the central part? I'm afraid it would be hell for the Sabbat vampires. "Of course, we will use the resources that can be used in the central mainland, those orphans of the Secret Alliance. Are there any questions?"
Revro was choked, and very 'maturely' chose not to respond, and continued his narrative, "Then Root died, and our Revro also started to extend the surveillance network outside the Sabbat after the success of Newton's pilot. ." He frowned, "But there are some channels in the middle that have been controlled before we Revro touched it." He lowered his head and looked at the teleportation array on the ground, "We Revro can no longer touch it. ”
This is very interesting. Zach raised his eyebrows, "Nina has occupied part of the information channel established between Revro and the central part. Now it seems that it is the communication channel with the central wizard!" The communication is all Zach's euphemism, this is teleportation! !
Revro would not be as tactful as Zach, "This is betrayal!"
Now he has withdrawn from all industries in the Sabbat society and is concentrating on establishing a modern civilization vampire monitoring system. Every place illuminated is under Revro's sight! Ordinarily, this clan has completely become the Sabbat's logistics clan, acting as the intelligence provider for the entire Sabbat and all federal vampires.
But Revero now admits that he did not have all the intelligence sources. Some of the information circulating between the vampires and the Central Government is not under Revro's monitoring at all! And this part of what Revro didn't know, he now defined, betrayal. Revro's face showed anger, "Now, you know why I'm unhappy with her!"
Yes, Revro agreed to cooperate with Zach because he was unhappy with some people in Lesembra! Now the person who can be named to make Revro unhappy is Nina, who refused to be monitored by Revro and created a loophole in Revro's monitoring system! ! Even better, Revero now has a legitimate reason to hate this Nina!
Zach didn't show any expression, just nodded. Zach's question was still unanswered, "Then how did you find this place to discover the witchcraft teleportation array? And how did you connect these things to Nina?"
Revro replied, "It's not me, it's you." Revro tilted his mouth, and it seemed that he didn't want to stay here any longer and went upstairs.
Zach could only follow.
Revro: "When you, the Vega police station, discovered that the tree man's fatal injuries were caused by witchcraft." In the room full of torture instruments at the bottom of the basement, Revro stared at Zach's face again. Like last time, what he wanted to see was Sam, because he already knew that Zach’s witchcraft knowledge came from wizard ghosts. “The first thing I thought of was what happened before, the wizard attacked the trust chosen by your descendant Charlie. The Redo Candidate Incident." Revro stopped in the basement filled with old blood, "This is where Lesembra executed the wizard."
Zach opened his mouth slightly, looked around the basement again, and closed his mouth, "Did Lesembula execute him?" This is the key point.
"Huh, yes." Revro shook his head with a gloomy face, "At that time, we all thought that Lesembra wanted to show that their position in the Sabbat was still the absolute commanding heights, so they had to personally deal with threats to the Sabbat's security. Let Lesembula do the wizarding work. Now that I think about it, it’s just Nina Lesembra who is dealing with the consequences!”
Zach didn't show off anything, "And Lesembra's aggressive sanctions against Toledo's murderer must be hiding something. I came to this conclusion after discussing with Charlie."
Yes, as I said before, in the past week, Zach has actually roughly clarified the truth about the murder of the tree man. Although the real culprit Zach has not been found out yet, Zach has already pretty much pinpointed the responsible party. Therefore, it is recommended that the police, who no longer have the ability to participate in this murder, withdraw.
Zach looked at the torture instruments, "Wizards are evil people jointly created by the Sabbat society. In your movies, they are all voodoo villains who massacre cities. It seems reasonable for all walks of life to work together to punish the murderers. But those who came to the Sabbat The wizard did not massacre the city, nor did he engage in the Sabbat clan. He killed an alternative descendant of Toledo who had not yet taken power." Zach glanced at Revro, "Then after Toledo came to power, he started to fight against alien races. Under the circumstances, I killed another tree man that Toledo liked."
The former, tsk, is more realistic. Before Toledo comes to the Sabbat to take power, killing a descendant of Toledo as an alternative will not affect the safety of the Sabbat society! The person who attracted the attention of society about the case was not the descendants of Toledo, but the wizard! Charlie was able to discover that his chosen descendant was murdered by a wizard, that is, Charlie was once a Central vampire alien. What once flowed in Charlie's body was the blood of the fighting clan, the Bruch clan.
For the latter, everyone expects Vega Police to have Charlie’s insights? Among the people in the Sabbat who have lived in the West for four centuries, who has the ability to discern witchcraft? If it weren't for the Vega Police Department who had a good impression of Toledo and invited Zach to the police station. Guess who would have known it was another wizard murder if Zach hadn't gone to identify the body. It is not enough to attribute the case to a tragedy in the anti-interracial movement.
Then, the wonderful thing is here
Accurately attack Toledo's every step forward in the Sabbat: humans who are candidates for Toledo's descendants, and candidates in the funeral industry who are favored by Toledo, who has taken power. In these two incidents, either to avoid harming the foundation of the Sabbat society, or to have a big environment of taking the blame, but they were just enough for the relevant people to discover that the murderer was a wizard!
Among the powerful clans in the Sabbat, the clan that has a reason to do such a thing is...
"The target is Toledo, and the tool is the wizard. This is the common key of both cases." Zach just reiterated the inference he had made before, "Who can benefit from pitting Toledo and the wizard against each other? "No, Zach won't say anything anymore, let Gravero do it.
"Lesembra." Revro finally saw Sam as he wished. Sam appeared from Zach's eyes and began to cast witchcraft spells with unknown functions. Don't worry about Sam, listen to Revro, "Toledo is the initiator of using the vampire-wizard combination to avoid perfection. This is a problem that all vampires will face in the future. Toledo, as soon as you come to the Sabbat, start They are leading the vampires. At this time, Lesembula is wasting time fighting for power internally, and they are very unhappy. Especially Nina, who has mastered certain resources... "
When the torture instruments in the basement began to show dark red straps swaying under Sam's witchcraft, Revro also finished his words, "I used to serve Lesembra for four centuries out of respect for the Sabbat. I have made great contributions and not interfere with what Nina is trying to hide from me. But today, since you, the ancestor of the Toledo clan, personally called me and asked for help... "
Zack shook his head speechlessly and followed Revro, "Help each other."
Revro curled his lips and said, "Then I'm going to check out what Nina Lesembula is hiding." He showed the surrounding area, "Look what I found~"
Revro found this place, where Lesembra once executed wizards. Next, Syme took this discovery one step further.
"Found it." Sam floated towards a torture instrument, pulling on the fluttering straps. "Before the soul and body died completely, it was transformed into an earth-bound spirit by witchcraft, grabbing onto things in this world and trying to survive. Soul mark~" Sam held the bright red soul mark with a smile on his face, "As expected of a family wizard who enjoyed education in a superior environment~ He has a hand in dealing with vampires~" Sam raised his hand and plugged in the soul mark. He put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, "Let us hope that this soul mark contains information about which wizard family Nina Lesembula is colluding with..."
Sam tilted his head.
"Speak!" Revro said impatiently.
Sam looked at Zach and uttered two words, "Xiyun."
Well.
