On Monday morning, before he opened his eyes, Zach felt that today would be a good day. There was no reason, it was just a feeling. After opening his eyes, waiting for the blood to flow where it should go, and activating the vampire's senses, Zach's wonderful feeling was gone.
Scott stood at the head of Zach's bed with a calm face, watching Zach's shriveled face slowly regain its elasticity.
"Good morning." Zach's voice sounded like it came from hell, dry and torn.
Scott still looked calm, "Good morning."
Zach had no idea why this guy came here, or how long he watched him sleep. Zach didn't ask, stood up stiffly, dug out a bottle of blood on the bedside table, opened the cap, raised his head, and emptied it.
With the supplement of blood and rubbing, Zach's body function recovery accelerated, and he gradually returned to the appearance of the Grande boss that Scott knew. He asked, "Do you look like a mummy every night?" It was a very private question.
"No." Zach began to adjust his clothes. He had something to do today and didn't want to pay much attention to a human who wanted to know.
Watching Zach adjusting his appearance in front of the mirror, Scott remained calm, "More new employees will come to work and live in Grande today." He saw Zach in the mirror... turned around, revealing his back With his clothes turned up on his back, Zach cast a grateful look in the mirror, then turned his hands behind his back and straightened the clothes he had turned up. Scott bit off a piece of air with his speaking mouth, then swallowed the air in a big gulp, and then continued to maintain his calmness, "How many people like Milo... colleagues, will be with me?" live together?"
"Half." Zach answered, satisfied with his image in the mirror, left the master bedroom, went downstairs, and went to the dining room. Scott followed Zach. I guess there is still a problem.
Alice and Maya had already had their breakfast and were packing a plethora of lunches.
"Lola and Kepler don't have lunch money, do they?" Zach asked casually.
Maya answered, "For Caesar, there is no human food in his house now." She glanced at Scott who was following Zach and ignored it, "If we don't help him, he will starve to death."
"Oh." Zach glanced at the food for Caesar, "Caesar hates vegetables. He has hated vegetables since he was a child." Zach was right. Zach and Benjamin took care of Caesar when he was a child, so this little thing The child is still clear.
Maya rolled her eyes, "So I got him lots of vegetables, lots of them!"
Zach tilted his head and had no desire to continue to ask. He said symbolically, "You two should study hard in school and don't get into trouble." He received a look from Maya again. Zach left the restaurant, walked onto the back corridor, and nodded to Roizmich who was just coming out of the warehouse.
Roy walked towards Zach, but before he got closer, Scott said, "Lola and Kepler are Barton's Laura and Smith's Kepler." People in Barton may not know about the West Enders. What kind of life is it like, but I still know these names that are often exposed, "Caesar is the son of the mayor's ex-wife. Recently, that woman got married again, to someone from out of town, right?"
It’s nothing to be surprised about. You can find out these things just by reading the newspapers.
"Yes." Zach answered casually. When Roy came over, he went up to him and took a look at the suitcase dragged behind Roy. "Are you all ready?"
Reutzmich is leaving Barton.
This decision was made while Zach was going to Vega. After Roy helped Alice and Maya compete for the position of the Black Witch Group, Roy made a bold choice for his Zmich clan: he wanted to go to Black Witch. The Witches' Residence in the Middle Kingdom, Salem Examination.
There is no group in the world more proficient in witchcraft than black witches. Roy decided that he, a vampire who had established a friendly relationship with the wizards in Barton, would go to the central part of the country to serve as an outpost for the inevitable war with the wizard family in the future. And the Black Witch's Salem is the perfect outpost.
Roy can use the help of the black witch to fully learn the various witchcraft encountered by the Sabbat to fill the gap that the Sabbat has no idea of the witchcraft ecology of four centuries.
"Okay." Roy glanced at Scott behind Zach, and then ignored it like Maya, "Now we just wait for Corden, John, and Bumi to come over, and then we set off to meet Yuehua Bai. Shadow, finally, officially set off."
Of course, Roy would not go alone. The hatred between Zimich and India was reconciled in Barton, but outside of Barton, who could guarantee that others would also let go of their hatred? It is necessary to bring a guarantor, and the arrangement of Roy and his team is very strict. Corden is the guarantor of ordinary Indians, John is the guarantor of the wizard, and Bumi is the guarantor of the former Secret Alliance related people who are likely to be encountered in the central region. Novel, finally, the black witch at the destination guarantees the moonlight and the hundreds of shadows.
After Roy finished speaking, he threw his luggage on the back porch and sat down, looking at ease and waiting for someone.
Zach sat down next to Roy. Zach was actually worried. Zach was not involved when Roy made this decision. If Zach had been involved, Zach would have given countless reasons why Zmich's decision to go to Central was a bad one. But it's too late for Zach to say these words now. He can only say, "Is it just these few people?" Zach felt that it was not enough. "You are the pinnacle of the Federal Zmich bloodline. I think if you are not so anxious, you can do it in Barton." Transform a few descendants and bring them with you."
This is a very sincere suggestion. The ancestors of Tsimich and Craig left the Federation and went to the North Kingdom. After Tsmish of the Sabbat was persecuted by Lutresembra, the number of Tsmish in the Federation was really not enough. Zack agrees that Roy wants to lead Zmich into a new future, but if this process threatens the top bloodline of Zmich in the current federation, it will not be worth the gain.
Roy frowned, tilted his head towards Zach, and turned to Scott next to Zach, "Okay, then give him to me as my descendant."
Scott was suddenly clicked and trembled, "What am I?"
Zach also glanced sideways at Scott, curled his lips, ignored it, and said to Roy, "I'm serious, your sister fell in love with Xiyun in Vega, and she converted him with almost no buffer time. To be honest, I think it's quite appropriate. Just talk about your pacifist remarks. You and I both understand that what the Zmich bloodline needs is the 'nature to solve problems with violence.'" Zach didn't say whether this 'nature' is good or not. Bad, "And there are a lot of these people in Barton, and Grande has just released a group of them." He was talking about the former criminals in the halfway house who were cut in half. "Rather than letting those people threaten the social stability of Barton, I would rather you go and put them out." They have all been collected and turned into Zmich and you to go to the central part of the country to open up wasteland."
Zmich curled his lips and did not refute, as if he was really thinking about this proposal. After thinking for a while, he began to taunt Zach, "I'm about to leave, but I still want to help you, Toledo, solve social hidden dangers? What a beautiful idea you have!"
Well, Roy got smarter.
Zach pursed his lips, "This is called mutual aid." Toledo started again, "The situation Nuo mentioned last night is very realistic. In the future Barton society, such ignorant people who want to live in the gap between black and white will People are difficult." Zach glanced sideways at Scott, and said to Roy, "Look, this is an example."
This is indeed a reality. It is difficult for ex-convicts to survive in society, and it is easy for them to fall into the lifestyle described by Scott. Then, those people who rely on gray 'odd jobs' to survive in the current social environment of Barton are James's rakes, because they are ignorant and do not know who the 'odd jobs' they take come from! In the end, it’s a vicious cycle.
Scott was clicked again. He tried his best to control his face from deforming and had no chance to speak.
Roy maintained his sarcasm, "This is your Toledo city's problem, not mine, and you still reminded me that if I start accepting ignorant and violent criminals as descendants of Zmish, then it will be terrible." It can’t be stopped! Humph, now Tsimishi’s status in the Sabbat is already at the bottom. If we are not self-disciplined and some random descendants are thrown in, then we will be the next Cappadocia with chaotic clan composition! Cappadocia was in ruins for four centuries and then turned around thanks to you. Will you come back to help me after four centuries?"
Zach sighed anthropomorphically, knowing that he couldn't convince Roy.
Roy's thinking was very clear and he mentioned the Cappadocia clan. Everyone should still remember that there are a large number of blood exchanges from other clans in the Cappadocia clan. Zach once threatened the Sabbat with this fact in Vega. When Cappadocia clearly and brainlessly favored Toledo, he gave The Sabbat creates a sense of threat that Zach can form a new vampire alliance through Cappadocia.
But this situation doesn't work for Zmich. A Zimich descendant of violent criminals was not something Zach could twist into any meaningful bargaining chip. Not now, and not four centuries from now. Unless civilization regresses and the world returns to the ecology of barbarians.
"Okay." Zach gave up, "But I still think you have fewer people..."
Before Zach could finish his words, a limousine drove into Grande.
Zach had actually heard the sound of the car a long time ago, but he didn't expect that the car was coming to Grande. The car stopped for a moment in front of Pochquin's house, and then Mu En got in the car. Zach didn't expect that the car would drive directly to Grande after it started running again.
The car door opened, and Mu En, who had just got into the car, smiled at Zach in the car. Then, deeper into the seat, Nick Giovanni stuck his head out, got out of the car, and first glanced at Scoo, who was standing next to Zach. Te, then ignored it like everyone before, and looked at Roy, "Very good, I didn't miss it."
When Nick walked onto the back porch, Zach's eyes were still on the car, because there was someone else in the car, Eve Rimmer's son, Thorin Rimmer.
Zach was a little speechless. No matter what Nick was here for, he deliberately arranged such an appearance. He used blood control to block the senses of the second-generation vampires in Grande. What he was probably asking for was that Zach and Roy were surprised. look like.
Roy's face was really surprised, "Didn't you miss something?"
Zach looked at the composition of the people in the car and said, "I didn't miss you." Zach looked at Nick inquiringly, "Are you going to the central part with Roy?"
"What?" Roy glanced at Zach and then stared back at Nick, "Why are you following me?!"
"Who is following you?" Nick glanced sideways at Zach, a little unhappy that Zach had directly told the truth, "You Zimich is allowed to join forces with Nofil to learn the knowledge of the black witch, but we Giovanni are not allowed to join forces. Rimel went to woo the werewolves without Alpha?"
It's great that Nick helped us map the relationship.
The only thing that needs additional explanation may be how Giovanni got involved in the werewolf line.
The result of two real events
The first thing is that when the Sabbat received reports of werewolves from the central region trying to create a new Alpha, it was Giovanni who went out to round them up. After this, Logan went to the west to receive those werewolves as a member of Ravenci's wolf pack.
The second thing is that in order to resolve the family conflict between Rimmer and Smith, Giovanni, who has already settled in the West End circle, and Ravenci, who has also established himself in the West End circle, meet each other. Tsk, don't complain, it's strange that non-humans who live in the same place, among the same group of humans, and have previous connections don't look at each other.
Zach can also see further. This is Nick's way of solving the conflict between Smith and Rimmer. Zach: "Werewolf was your plan to get Rimmer to give up entangled with the Smith family?" Mu En is the wizard of the Ravenchi wolf pack, don't forget it.
Nick shrugged, "Yes, just like what you said, Rimmer's biggest problem is that he has no resource output, so he has to rely on something. The former Secret Alliance and the current Smith all belong to Rimmer. Resource provider. If nothing can be found to support Rimmer, Rimmer will be a liability to any collective."
That's right, Zach used this characteristic of Rimmer to make the Sabbat unintentionally win over Rimmer. If you want Rimmer, you have to raise him. Now the conflict between Rimmer and Smith is the same. Rimmer was caught by Mr. Smith by using the resources of the Smith family to do his own thing behind Smith's back.
Zach nodded, "Rivenqi's current werewolves are your solution. Ravenqi's new wolf pack is in a perfect class position and can control the resources of all the West Enders. Rimmer lets go of a Smith. Get Get is a resource for the entire West Side.”
Nick nodded helplessly because he was unhappy that Zach didn't give him a chance to show off. This was a great thing for him as a planner. But Nick did not miss the opportunity to summarize. He looked at Roy, "You rely on the Paisin community in Toledo City, and I rely on the Westside community in Toledo City. You want the black witch, and I want the werewolf." The summary was, "Our goals are all in the middle of the country, we're on the way." He turned around and showed the car he had brought, "Let's go together."
Roy curled his lips and said, "Humph, whatever." That was an agreement.
To a certain extent, Zach is relieved that Roy has expanded his staff in the central part. Such a combination should be invincible in the central part unless they deliberately seek death...
But what needs to be made clear should be made clear. You can see it, Giovanni and Zmich!
The knowledge that both werewolves and dark witches could be won over was not exclusive to the Central Region. The safe approach is for Giovanni to search for werewolves in the east, while Roy goes to Newton to consult the black witch in Newton. But both Sabbat vampires chose to go to the dangerous middle to accomplish their goals!
What can I do, huh, just to get the first profit from the Sabbat's great cause of expanding to the central part. Roy's situation has just been mentioned. If he becomes Salem, he will be the number one of the Sabbat in the central part. An outpost, and he, Zmich, is the master there! As for Nick, if he succeeds, huh, who else in the Sabbat would dare to tell him about Giovanni's population problem? Have you ever seen a werewolf under a full moon? For those you have never seen before, Giovanni can make you see them; for those who have forgotten the fear of vampires in the past four centuries, Giovanni can remind you.
Forget it, this kind of competition is healthy competition. Zach had nothing to say, so he gave up his position to Nick, left the back porch and walked outside the Grand. Zack is starting today's schedule
Before Zach fell into his vampiric slumber last night, Grande had a visitor, not strictly a visitor.
A bat hit the bedroom window before Zach could close his eyes and broke it into pieces. When Zach got up to look at the inexplicable little creature, the bat climbed up among a pile of broken glass and uttered human words, " Come meet me in the city tomorrow." Then, fear flapped his wings, smashed another window and disappeared into the night.
This is Zach's whole day's itinerary, an appointment to meet a bat that can speak human language in the city. hehe.
"Are you going out?" Well, Scott is still following Zach.
"yes."
"Your employees are coming to Grande today, but you are going out?" Reasonable question.
"kindness."
Scott quickened his pace and kept up with Zach's progress. It seemed that Zach was walking very leisurely and looking around at the same time, but he was inexplicably fast. "Then I guess it must be the same as the things I heard just now." , something 'fantastic'!" The calm he tried to maintain gradually began to get out of control, because Scott had to increase his breathing rate to keep up with Zach.
"Yes."
Scott took a few big steps to catch up with Zach, "What?!" He probably didn't mean to question, but his rapid breathing made his tone sound a bit like a question.
Zach glanced sideways at Scott, "Gangro's ancestors appeared in Barton." Since the beginning of today, the only thing Zach explained to Scott, please pay attention, "But it's not the same as what I remember." Exactly the same, I really can't help this gentleman's self-esteem..." Zach looked into the distance, "'Come and meet me in the city'?" Zach shook his head, he was complaining! "You don't know any place names in human cities. Yes, you can at least say 'the highest place' or 'the place where you can see the waves'. But no, you will never expose your weaknesses to others. It is the instinct of wild creatures. , very good. Then how about we don’t make an appointment in the city? No, is there any place in the world that the creatures at the top of the biological chain dare not go? Perfect." Zach finished complaining, "So just say 'come and meet me in the city' , OK, then I will go to the city to meet you."
