"They actually teach this kind of thing in school now?!" Leon exclaimed in a fuss.
Zach arrived a little late because he went to Ixton, so he didn't know what the two were talking about. He was teasing the Cerberus while listening to the Face Man's chat.
"Yeah." Mason seemed to adapt to Lyon's surprise and nodded, "It started at the end of last year." He looked at Lyon with a strange expression, "The situation in the West is much worse than here. Sabbat Alliance It seems that we have reached some kind of agreement with the devils..."
Zach could no longer listen in silence. The vampire walked towards the two of them and coughed slightly to indicate his presence.
Mason glanced at Zach and shut up in fear.
"Don't pay attention to me." Zach smiled with a smile on his face. He was just beginning to be interested in this Mason. Maybe this guy is a guy worth getting to know. "Go on, I'm very interested in your conversation."
Leon's eyes swept over Zach and Mason, with a meaningless smile, "Ah! I won't disturb you! You talk!" He put his finger into his mouth and whistled at the hellhound, "Dog! We Go play!" He ran away with the hellhound.
Zach raised his eyebrows, a little confused about Leon's performance. He shook his head, looked at Mason, and used his most common fake smile, "I think about it, I have never introduced myself, Zachary Grande, you can call me Zach."
"Zach." Mason looked at Zach and called out with a somewhat awkward expression, as if he was practicing the pronunciation of the vampire's name. He hesitated a little, not daring to look directly at Zach and said, "Zach, I have something to tell you."
"Oh?" Zach looked at Mason, the man who shared the same appearance as Seth, and had a completely different temperament from the demon hunter. Seth's silence made him look somber. But the Mason in front of him looked more like a young man with little experience.
However, I have to admire Seth's vision in choosing the container. Mason's strong body can carry the demon's actions very well. Moreover, based on the few words Zach just heard, it seems that this Mason is not just a container picked up by passers-by on the street!
"Did you remember what message Seth left behind before he was deported?" Zach continued to advance the conversation with his wrong conclusion.
"No." Mason's eyes were fixed on his toes, "He didn't leave any message."
"No?" Zach was a little disappointed and shook his head. The hope that Seth could come back alive became slimmer.
"You guys, um." Mason seemed to be organizing his words carefully, "Do you really hope that Seth comes back?"
While Zach was busy handling Quest's commission with No, Zach asked Leon and Mike to take care of Mason. Two demons filled the gap in his life. Regarding the demon hunter Seth, the two demons had nothing to hide. The container needs buffering to adjust its identity.
Both Leon and Mike made it clear that they had no confidence in retrieving the half-companion, half-enemy Seth. Crowley, the Demon of Barton City. There is no extra strength to save such an embarrassing devil in hell.
But it was also clearly told to Mason that Zach, Grande's side, would definitely want Seth back.
As for what these two demons said to Mason, Zach and Nuo returned directly to Grand after leaving Barton, so he would not know.
Zach looked at the human in front of him and didn't know how to answer this question for a moment. The answer is, just tell this guy. The meaning of his existence is to continue to be another person's container, and his life is controlled by a demon. The answer is no, which is obviously a lie.
Zach thought for a moment and smiled, "I paid for four days, and this is the second day." Zach suddenly turned the topic in another direction. "There are still two days, these two days you can think about the future direction of your life."
Zach smiled and patted Mason, "You are lucky, Seth got a new identity from the 'General' when he settled in Patton. So, these things he did in Patton have nothing to do with your life." Zach. Ke raised his eyebrows and carefully guided the topic, "If you want, you can go back to your original life." Zach narrowed his eyes, "Speaking of which, who are you?"
Mason's eyes moved towards the vampire, and he didn't know what he was thinking, "Work-study student, Saint-Yer Institute, third year."
Zach raised his eyebrows. This famous Holy Bishop's College in the west is different from St. John's where Kyle was sent. This college is open to applications from people in the society. If you are an adult who has passed the schooling age, and you suddenly have a yearning for the Holy Lord’s faith, but you don’t have the financial means to directly donate a position in the church, come here, spend a few years, get a degree, and you can directly enter the church. , 'dedicated' to the Holy Lord, got a small position and became a clergyman.
Please don't be like a vampire and experience this with a joking mind. This is very serious. Vampires have eternal life, and a few years of life is nothing to them, but for us humans, spending a few years learning a faith and then dedicating our lives to serving a vain faith requires determination and perseverance. . honourable.
Zach became more and more curious, "What did you tell Leon just now, what did you learn in class?"
"Some knowledge." Mason's eyes became strange, and he took a shaky breath, "About the aliens in this world, demons, vampires, pagan beliefs and the like."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Are you training witchers?"
Mason nodded, as if to explain, and added, "But that's not what I studied for."
Zach curled his lips, that was not what he cared about, "You just said, the West..." Zach looked at Mason, who had never dared to look directly at him, and stretched his voice.
"They told me, well, you are Toledo." Mason glanced at Zach quickly and then looked away.
Zach smiled, waiting for what was about to come out of this guy's mouth.
"Are you Toredor of the Sabbat?"
This again. Zach kept smiling. This was not the first time he heard his last name being placed after the Sabbat. Seth also said such words.
Zach looked like he was thinking, and then shook his head, "I don't remember joining the Sabbat after my clan was surrounded by the Secret Alliance." Zach shrugged slightly, "So, no, I am not Toledo from the Sabbat. .”
Mason seemed to be relieved, and formally turned his gaze to Zach, and said seriously, "Then I think I need to say sorry to you."
Zach tilted his head, "Sorry about what?"
"I was the one who drove Seth out."
Zach's eyebrows raised unconsciously, he blinked and took Mason's arm, "It seems we need to have a good talk, let's start with yourself."
Mason nodded. The conversation begins.
Things were not peaceful in the West. Just like Mason said to Leon, starting from the end of last year, the gates of hell opened in the western part of the Federation, and when a large number of demons poured into the world, these part-time students who were studying for regular jobs in the future were screened. The academy began to deliberately train demon hunters, and the world has changed.
"I was possessed by Seth in a test class." Mason looked a little weird when he told this. "Just like the instructor said, we are all rookies. We will be able to deal with any demon or vampire." Killed immediately."
"Experimental class." Zach reminded Mason to focus.
"In the course, the instructor will summon low-level demons, and then let us try to attack and expel them... "
Zach didn't want to picture that, even though Mason was describing the devil now, about how he had become possessed by Seth. But according to this teaching method, catching a few young vampires and letting these would-be demon hunters 'learn' must obviously be part of the curriculum! Even for a vampire from the Sabbat Alliance, this would also trigger Zach's false compassion.
"Then this low-level demon is Seth." Zach sped up the process.
"Well, he's not low-level at all." Mason shook his head with a strange expression. "He disguised his rank and even deceived his instructor and was locked up in the laboratory." There was helplessness in his tone, "I just I went to clean it, and then..."
"Have you ever communicated?"
"The first rule of demon hunting is, don't listen to anything the demon says." Mason looked sad.
He took a deep breath, "When I regained consciousness again, it was already yesterday."
The wizard's contradictory actions and dangerous situation actually help his own vampire...
"After recovering from your blood, you went down to see your friend, No." Mason's expression became strange again, "I was up there, and the first thing that confused me was the man you called James. Let him go."
Zach shook his head helplessly.
"I confirmed that he is a human, but I also confirmed that he is worried about me, well, Seth." Mason frowned, seeming to recall his confusion at the time, "He is a human, and I can find that he has not been possessed by demons. Trading controls, but he seemed, really, really concerned about Seth’s safety.”
"I don't know where I am, or even what year or time it is." Mason shook his head, "I want to escape." He glanced at Zach, "Although I'm sure you don't seem to have any ill intentions, but, well, You're still a vampire."
Zach didn't mind waving. It seemed that he had completely misunderstood. Zach thought that Mason was just in shock at the time, but he didn't expect that there were so many little thoughts going on in his head in confusion!
"Then more people came." Mason's expression became even more helpless, "Just like James, they were all asking about Seth. And the Indian, he seemed very powerful and had wizard props. I had a checkup and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with me…”
"During their conversation with James, they said that they were the mayor's men..." There was a very obvious apology on Mason's face, "I was thinking, no matter where I am, I must be hopeless. This city is finished. It must be completely controlled by demons and vampires. Human beings have become willing slaves of these alien races... "(...)
