Sabbat meeting. Temporary~
There is a round table with vampires surrounding it. It seems that there is no main seat, but in fact there is ~ On the left of Zack sits Xiaoka, the ancestor of the Cappadocian clan, and on the right sits Frank, the ancestor of the Lesenbra clan ~ Then among the seats of the second-generation vampires, Charlie and Joey, the power representative of Toledo in Vega, is sitting in Toledo’s seat~
Of course Zach knew that Xiaoka and Frank were deliberately trying to elevate his position, and he readily accepted it.
Xiaoka glanced at Miles who was standing behind Zach, "Where's the dog brother? If you are going to bring a human to the meeting, at least bring a descendant candidate. Who is this? I've never seen him before."
Frank Ben on the right has been observing the whispered discussion of the second-generation vampires of his Lesembra clan. When he heard the conversation here, he immediately joined in, "Didn't you hear that Zach brought two employees here this time? It’s just that I haven’t gone out. This should be one of them.”
Xiaoka looked at Miles for a while, "It doesn't look like anything outstanding." He retracted his gaze and looked at Zach, "Are you going to recruit Barton's employees as candidates for Toledo's descendants? I thought Republic Toledo would come to support you. Finally, Toledo’s population crisis has been temporarily lifted.”
Before Zach had time to speak, it was Frank again, "Speaking of the Toledo of the Republic, Zach~ tell us honestly, how many Toledo do you have in the Republic? Will you tell Zmich? Like the ancestors, let’s ignore the federation and go to foreign countries to establish power~ Do we still have to compete with the secret alliance, or... revenge? For Fan Zhuo~" This is a joke.
Zach still didn't have time to speak.
Xiaoka, "I heard from Nenad that a Fanzhuo came to live in your Barton Grande? That countess, Annabell, right? Can you still cope with it?"
Zach could only give a smile without moving his mouth, Frank, "The Countess~ I read some of her deeds from Root's relics, haha, she is also a difficult one~" The surroundings have actually been quiet for a long time, because, The ancestors were chatting ~ "From one ancestor to another." Frank, of course, did it on purpose, patting Zach on the shoulder as if he had a deep relationship with Zach, "Fan Zhuo will always do it under any circumstances. It’s a threat to our Sabbat~ It’s rare to find Annabell who is definitely on our side, so why not sacrifice it~ Let’s take it~”
Xiaoka stopped talking, Zach kept smiling, and Frank's hand was squeezing Zach's shoulder. The round table fell into absolute silence... Oh no, there was only the sound of Miles' breathing and heartbeat.
The noise humans make is distracting.
Miles gradually felt that all eyes were looking at him, and his heart beat faster and faster...
Suddenly, Revro stood up, and when he attracted everyone's attention, "Everyone must be curious about the reason why I called this impromptu meeting." After looking around for a week, he stopped at the second-generation Lesembula's block. "If it were before, of course I would not have this power, but after Root passed away, I didn't know who to submit the meeting application to, so I took it upon myself to notify everyone..."
This seemingly explanation was not finished yet. In the Lesembra block, a man with an unhappy expression interrupted Revro, "You do this even though you know you have no power, huh." He glanced at Frank, but he didn't seem to have much confidence, " After Root, although the distribution of power within our Lesembula has not been completed, no matter what, our father is still here! Lesembra's affairs are Lesembra's business, not your excuse! It's time to go The things you hand over should be left to Lesembula’s decision as usual! There is no need for you to make decisions for Lesembra!”
Revro showed no expression and took out a small blood jar. "Okay, then I will give the reason why I called the impromptu meeting to the ancestor of the Lesenbra clan now." He raised his hand and the blood jar drew an arc. fell in front of Frank.
Interestingly, the faces of the second-generation Lesembulas in the Lesembra block all turned gloomier.
You all understand. Frank, this is the reason why the 'power distribution' of the Lesembra clan has not been completed until now~~
ha! 'Distribution of rights'~Why are you so subtle? Everyone knows that it is not distribution~it is competition! After Root disappeared, the second-generation Lethembras all wanted to snatch the dictatorship that Root had once held in their own hands! !
As long as Frank, this superior clan ancestor, intends to stand behind any second-generation Lesembula, this competition will be over long ago!
But Frank didn't! Not only does he not stand behind any of his children, he also creates chaos for all existing children! A bastard (Hank) was left in Barton! This makes the already fierce struggle for power even more complicated! !
Externally, Lesenbula could not complain about their clan ancestor, and could only put the clan ancestor on it to serve as the facade of the clan. But internally, who didn't know that this clan ancestor had long been separated from the Lesenbula clan! And all of this can only be blamed on Root who no longer exists!
Why not give Frank LeSembra his last name! Why only give this father the value of a tool! Why was the decision made at that time to use the ancestors to deal with Toledo?
Well now, this absolutely powerful tool man has obviously gone to Toledo! He already behaves like a brother to Toledo!
Frank had a 'humble' look on his face, playing with the blood bottle handed over by Revro in his hand, "Should I make the decision? Haha, what can I do~ Xiaoka and I are both outdated people who have missed four centuries of civilization progress. Guys, how can you judge the affairs of young people like you~ Are you right, Xiaoka, do you understand the current decisions of your Cappadocia clan~"
Listen. Frank just accepted Fan Zhuo's advice to Zach~ Now it's 'an outdated guy can't make decisions for young people'~ This old guy who can't live without stirring up shit~
Of course, Xiao Ka knew what Frank was doing. He glanced at the blood bottle in Frank's hand and said, "If you want to say old guy, please just say yourself. I will always be ten years old." Don't forget, Xiao Ka, the ancestor of the Cappadocia clan, is very Do you remember the rare child who attained immortality before he was physically and mentally mature? He was famous for his immature decision-making. Four centuries ago, Xiaoka unilaterally broke the agreement between his clan ancestors and revealed to his clan that the Holy Lord also had an ultimate reward. This led to Nenad's unconditional attack on Zach in Barton. Support made Cappadocia the first public supporter of Toledo in the Sabbat! For the Cappadocia clan, this is certainly good, but for all other clans, it is just proof that the Cappadocia clan ancestors are unreliable! "But it is a fact that it is outdated. I have to admit that in today's era, I can't understand most of the things my children do, even if they are very patient in explaining them."
Xiaoka's body was swaying, and it seemed that it was caused by his legs under the table. He really looked like an unstable child, and continued, "Now among our ancestors, the one who knows this best The situation of the times is Toledo." Really smooth, "Why don't you give the blood bottle to Toledo and let Toledo make the judgement."
With a crisp sound, Frank placed the blood bottle in front of Zach with a smile on his face.
Zach smiled the whole time, looked at the blood bottle placed in front of him, reached out to pick it up, looked at Revro again, and finally said his first words, "Well, two ancestors, this is a bit embarrassing. I In fact, I know why Revro called this impromptu meeting. I don’t really need this~"
"Oh~" Frank, the troublemaker, answered very quickly, "You know? What is it? Please say it in words that Xiaoka and I can understand~"
"Yes..." Zach was about to speak.
"It's betrayal!" A woman in Lesembra's block suddenly spoke, stood up, and pointed at Toledo, "Toledo betrayed the Sabbat!"
Everyone looked at Zach, waiting for Toledo's response, including Revro. But Revro's expression was as expected, and he gestured to Zack, "This is Nina."
Nina Lesembula looks like a petite woman with nothing special about her face. According to human common sense, she is probably less than thirty years old. However, she stood up specifically to introduce herself to Zach, and Zach also recalled some things.
Zach had some impression of this Nina. During the colonial war four centuries ago, Root would bring this woman with him to every war meeting.
Therefore, Nina is Root’s confidant.
Zach did not respond to Nina's identification. Instead, he opened the blood bottle in his hand and handed it to Miles behind him. "Let each of you share a little." When Miles took the blood bottle with trembling hands, Zach looked back. Nina asked, still smiling, "This is not the first time I have been accused of betraying the alliance. This happened a century ago~" Everyone knew that Zach was talking about the secret alliance. "Everyone knows what the ending will be. Then, please continue~" Zach's mentality was abnormal, "We all have very high expectations~" Toledo was found guilty and was exterminated! "Don't be nervous, relax, and just try to meet your own expectations~" Look, Zach is encouraging the other party to destroy himself. Tsk, that's not normal.
Nina's face twitched, and before she spoke, she had noticed that the second-generation vampires who had been given the blood provided by Revro by Miles looked at her strangely.
Needless to say, the reason is that the information contained in Revro's blood is that Nina betrayed the Sabbat!
Nina's voice did not waver at all. She looked at the second-generation vampires who looked at her strangely one by one: "We all know that Toledo has an alliance with wizards in the central part of the Federation! A symbiotic relationship between vampires and wizards has been established. ! Even now, I can tell that Toledo sitting there is not alone! He carries a wizard who is proficient in soul witchcraft!"
"Sem." Zach's mentality was still relaxed, "I want to say hello to everyone."
Sam appeared, floating out of Zach's eyes. The wizard ghost's body was solid from transparent to transparent, standing behind Zach, nodding slightly to all the vampires.
There was a small discussion.
This is a given. Wizards have not appeared in the West for at least four centuries. It's worth being surprised every time you see one. After the surprise, you will kill them all.
But Sam, who appears in front of everyone now, seems to be unable to be killed by... vampires.
The way he appeared from Zach's body was quite shocking. What is this wizard? He obviously doesn't have a body to attach to Toledo, so he is a soul? But how is it possible that a soul alien can survive in a vampire that has not reached its full body? !
The Sabbat vampires have a rough idea of what happened in Barton, and may see the events from a slightly different perspective than we do.
The truth behind the creation of vampires by the Holy Lord is revealed: The Passage to Purgatory.
The reason why the Secret Alliance fled the Federation was revealed: to escape the pursuit of the angels in the Holy Lord's faith.
And Toledo magically formed an alliance with Papa Midnight and some of the Gods of the Republic, and 'crippled' the current Holy Lord faith: trapping all the true angels in the Republic, and assisted Crowley, who was not worthy of being an angel, to become the current master of heaven. , being monitored by present-day Revero in Newton.
Toledo successfully delayed the conflict between the vampires and the Lord's faith. He did not slack off in his quest to avoid the perfection that every vampire must face, and proposed a vampire-wizard combination to permanently resolve two problems that troubled vampires: the relationship with the indigenous people of this land and the belief in witchcraft; It is related to the origin of vampires and the faith of the Holy Lord.
Toledo's countless decisions at Barton can be summed up in this purpose. Help Newton resist the attacks of demons and provide a living environment for werewolves. I can’t list them all...
Regardless of what everyone thought of Toledo before, we have to admit that it is a good thing that Toledo now belongs to the Sabbat.
But there is something new about Sam~
"Wizard ghosts, ghosts who believe in the Republic." Nina said as she was obliged to understand, "Ghosts, from the Republic, alien souls that are not restrained by the blood of vampires!" She pointed at Sam with sharp eyes, "Two kinds of non-human beings. The beliefs of my species, a disgusting combination!”
Sam took a step forward. Before he could speak, he was stopped by Zach. "You continue~" he smiled at Nina.
As expected, Zach's good attitude still angered Nina who spoke, "You are still laughing! Look at this Toledo's face! He is still laughing!"
Zach... was actually disappointed.
Originally, I thought that Lesembula, who could win a game early in Patton, was at least a calm guy. Now it seems that the other party's mentality is so easily affected by him. Zach hasn't said anything yet, he just keeps a smile. Why are you anxious. If you want to criticize Zach's face, first you have to finish explaining the basis of your accusation and then do it!
There are still sensible people. In Giovanni's block, because Nick is in Barton, the person sitting there is Nick's brother. Zach has an impression, but is not familiar with it. "The existence of wizards and ghosts has been around for some time." Yes, my brother has already sent back the information in Barton, and Zimixi should know better in this regard." He looked at Zimixi's block.
There was only one person sitting on Zimich's side, still a stout woman dressed as a servant. Although she said in front of Zach that she did not care about the clan struggle as much as her brother Roy, she still knew what she should know and said, "The wizards in Barton who have formed an alliance with the former Secret Alliance clan Nofiler all regard wizard ghosts as The race after the end of human life. It is the best solution that can satisfy the vampire-wizard combination." He didn't mean to help Zach in particular, but still pointed in Zach's direction, "The effect is that the previous alien inspection from the west to Barton The group also brought back some information, and now everyone has seen it with their own eyes." The woman glanced in Nina's direction, "You said it was disgusting, did Toledo share with you the feeling of having a wizard ghost in her body? ?”
Nina didn't look at the woman Zmich at all, "Do I still need him to share? Isn't the soul of the wizard disgusting? Has everyone forgotten the war four centuries ago? If it weren't for our companions, the demons, who strengthened the soldiers' Souls belong, how many of our colonists and human warriors will have their souls tainted by those wizards?!"
Ah, it turns out that in the colonial wars, the colonial army's belief that left the wizards helpless had this kind of interpretation. It’s also quite funny. The human soldiers in the past relied on demons to strengthen their beliefs~
Nina didn't finish her sentence, "And now, this Toledo is helping these wizards find the restraint to be immune to our vampires! Imagine, my brothers and sisters! This Toledo has used tactics to cripple the faith of the Holy Lord, so that the future The souls of humans in our country no longer have correct beliefs! Then they used the conflict between vampires and Holy Lord beliefs that will break out in the future as a reason to find a way for wizards to safely avoid the suppression of our vampires and grow infinitely. Way! Let these wizard souls stain the souls of humans in our land for eternity in the future! We, the Sabbat, still control this country, but when do you think the humans in this country will no longer care about us vampires?"
Nina pointed at Zach, "This Toledo! He stopped the war four centuries ago and gave the Indians a chance to breathe. He has been building this huge conspiracy since the establishment of the Federal State! Now, look at him What has he done! He has formed an alliance with Papa Midnight! He has revealed his true face! He has successfully made us humans in the west stop doing blood transactions with us! Everyone! Wake up! This Toledo has been deceiving all the way Everything we do is his conspiracy!! He! Wanted to betray from the beginning! Betray us! Betray the vampires! Betray everything that gave him immortality!!"
Oh, it turns out that Toledo is the one who decides the situation~ Zach even wants to applaud him for his overall view~
Zach really did this, and after applauding three times, he said, "I have a question. Betray vampires, let wizards 'tarnish human souls', and no longer care about vampires. Well, according to your thinking, it probably means no longer." Treat vampires as the absolute power class. So, what good does this do to me?"
Nina was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You are Toledo, and you are a Toledo who is famous for liking to mingle in human society! You can adapt to any social situation and hide among humans! Benefits? Benefits It’s just that you no longer have competitors of the same level as us! You want to monopolize this world!”
Zach really wants to applaud himself again. It turns out that Zach’s dream is to rule the world~
If he wanted to do it, Zach gave himself three more applauses, bang bang bang, "Oh~ That's it~" Zach turned to look at Frank, "Four centuries ago, the ancestors collectively decided to go into hibernation. How did this discussion start? "
Frank didn't know what Zach was thinking, but he believed that Zach wouldn't ask boring questions, "It's hard to say, it's just a tacit understanding. We all feel that our continued sobriety is not good for the vampire race. The Holy Lord doesn't care about us much. These are his creations. We need to preserve our bloodline." He also glanced at Kako, whose face was similar to Frank's. He didn't know what Zach was thinking, but he just nodded in agreement.
Zach also nodded, thanked Frank for his explanation, and then looked at Nina, "I have another question, are your accusations against me or the Toledo clan?"
Nina... froze for a moment, and then her face changed from indignant to panic. She realized that she had made a mistake!
Zach didn't give Nina a chance, "From what you said, it should be aimed at me personally~" Zach still smiled, "After all, I started planning this conspiracy four centuries ago when I advocated an armistice and the founding of the country~" He glanced at Everyone, "And in Toledo four centuries ago, I was the only one left~"
Zach shrugged his shoulders, "Then I..." glanced at Frank and Xiaoka, "How about I just accept the accusation? Anyway, I am the ancestor of the clan. If I don't go to sleep, I feel less of a clan." Necessary experience for the ancestor~" Zach smiled and looked back at Nina, "As the ancestor of the Toledo clan, what do you think of using dormancy as punishment? I will no longer participate in the future of vampires. Seeing that his conspiracy is about to succeed, he is You discover, and then are forced to go into hibernation, and then experience the same feeling of being out of touch with the era that Frank and Xiaoka are experiencing now, do you think? Five centuries, ten centuries? You decide, anyway, everyone knows that I am very Young, perfect, and the limit of vampire power, everyone here will reach it before me. Kill me? It’s too easy for me, a conspirator who has been plotting for four centuries. Let me live and see that I fall short. Look at me I have led Toledo through ups and downs, and lived as an orphan in the world. When you feel that you, without me, have built a better future for vampires, then wake me up and see the world at that time ~ This is beautiful, do you agree?" Everyone? You can automatically imagine Zach’s expression when he said this.
As before, the round table was quiet...
Oh no, only the breathing and heartbeat of Miles, a human being, are disturbing everyone's senses.
"I don't agree." Oh, it was Revero who said it. Do you know why? Because everyone had obviously been moved by Nina's inflammatory conspiracy theory before, and then Zach raised another realistic question without giving everyone time to think about it. If there was no Toledo, how could the vampires be here? What kind of future can we create!
Do you think Zach’s last words were just pretentious? no. Zach is reminding everyone that regardless of whether Toledo has a conspiracy or not, the way forward for vampires in this world now requires Toledo! !
Don’t look at whether the faith in the Holy Lord in the distance needs to be solved, just look at what’s in front of you! Do you want to solve the wizard problem? Do you want to solve the werewolf problem? Who can solve the problem if the alien races in the Republic that have just been put on the table are not restrained by vampires? You who have been relying on the Sabbat for four centuries? ?
Therefore, while everyone was floating high in the sky and thinking about philosophical issues, only Revro, the convener of the meeting, was still on the ground! He has not forgotten what he is here for!
But Revro was clearly giving Zach a look of contempt. Having said that, this guy has never liked Zach. Revro continued, "There is no need for the Toledo ancestor to admit this crime so quickly." Looking around, "Everyone has received the information in my blood, and everyone has seen enough of jumping out and taking a bite. "Looking at Nina, "Let's discuss real betrayal."
After one sober person spoke up, there was a second one. This second one, ha, was reminded by Zac before coming here that she wanted to be a Zimich woman who protects her cubs, "Yes, Nina Lesenbula, please explain why the teleportation array between Zhongzang and the Xiyun family in the middle of your property is interconnected!"
