"How did they get to Barton?!" Thomas seemed to have misunderstood the point. He stared at Zach and asked irritably.
Zach observed the other person's expression. Being away from civilization made this former alliance 'partner' not very good at hiding his emotions, or he didn't try to hide them at all.
Compared to the other party's sudden excitement, Zach could only be the one who remained calm. He corrected Thomas' mistake, "It's not 'them', it's a, a new vampire."
Zach twitched his lips, "It's not that he's here, but..." Zach waved his hand, as if there was no need to explain the loopholes of the federal mail system to this guy who was out of touch with civilization, so he responded in summary, "They didn't. Come on, it’s just a new vampire with their blood flowing inside it.”
Zach frowned, "This is just my guess. You haven't given me an answer yet to make sure."
Thomas looked away irritably and continued to pace, "You said you can't sense him?"
Zach could only continue to follow this guy with his eyes and nodded.
"How did you kill him?"
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Old, traditional cut off his head." Do you need to tell the other person 'Colt'? unnecessary.
"Why not just pull out the heart?!" asked the strange question.
Zach raised his other eyebrow, "I'm in the mood for decapitation today."
Thomas glared at Zach, "Your mood today caused you to lose an important piece of evidence!"
"Why?" Zach no longer had any eyebrows to raise and looked at the other person.
"Toledor of the Sabbat..." Thomas stopped, "They don't have a heartbeat."
"Say it again." Zach lowered his eyebrows and raised them again, completing the puzzled expression as he wished.
"They have no heartbeat!" Thomas turned to Zach, "That's their ability! They can control the 'dead body' state!"
This is the true sleeping state of a vampire. Louise in Grande is very used to this state, because occasionally there will be something in this state lying next to her. Fortunately, as long as she shakes it hard enough, this thing that is no different from a corpse will 'wake up' and return to being her boyfriend.
The corners of Zach's grin rose slightly, without speaking, and then rose again. Curved to a surprising point, "Hahaha!" Zach laughed, and the laughter made his words slurred, "This is funny, Thomas!"
"This is not funny at all! Toledo!" Thomas called his last name, obviously he was much more serious than Zach, who was just laughing at this moment!
Without warning, Zach withdrew his "out of control" smile and became expressionless, "Just Zach." The first thing he did was to correct Thomas's title. It was really hard to figure out what Zach was thinking. "I know it's not funny." Zack fell silent.
The silence was because Thomas had explained Zach's initial confusion as to why he couldn't sense a newborn vampire. Because the vampire tribe relies on absorbing the lives of others, that is, sucking blood, to maintain their existence, their senses rely on the perception of life.
In order to better hunt prey, they have the five senses, strength, speed, eyes that paralyze prey, and even the ability to transform like Gangro, which they now rely on for survival.
Something where the blood stops flowing, duh. Or something? Does that count as life? Those are fossils, historical relics that have long since passed away. It has no use for vampires to extend their own lives, so why sense them
Silence was not the ideal state at this time. Thomas frowned and looked at Zach, "What do you know? About Toledo of the Sabbat."
Zach shook himself out of his thoughts and glanced at Thomas. Still expressionless, he shook his head, "Not much, I only know that they were brought by the Sabbat in the last war."
Thomas twitched the corners of his mouth, his face full of boredom. "Who told you this? Are they the demon hunters in the west?"
Zach seemed to have some interest, and there was some expression on his face, which was a question, "So, so." Seth's container, Mason, who is now kept next to Constantine, is considered a witcher, a witcher apprentice, right
"Hmph." Thomas shook his head, "You expect those Western churches that originally received funding from the Sabbat to tell you something useful!"
Zach raised his eyebrows. Yes, Mason was just a student in the West and was still studying. So where did the education and knowledge he received come from? From the church. Where does the knowledge of the Church, especially about vampires, come from? From the Sabbat that had not parted ways with the church!
Zach chuckled, "It doesn't matter, I don't care when they came."
"You should be concerned!" Thomas glared at Zach and said fiercely, "They used your Toledo's surname! Because Toledo, the middle member of the Thirteen Clan, disappeared, they had a reason to replace him!"
Our vampire Zach looked at Thomas and blinked, "Blame it on me?"
Thomas Gangro, who was still a member of the Secret Alliance, opened his mouth and closed it. It seemed that he had spent a lot of effort to adjust his emotions and spoke again, but his eyes wandered away from Zach, "After the Secret Alliance surrounded Toledo, it didn't take long for the Sabbat to use the absence of the thirteen clans as an excuse to ask the Secret Alliance for help. A proposal to make up was launched.”
Zach pursed his lips, not knowing what emotion to use to listen to what happened during his period of exile.
"Of course we (the Secret Alliance) refused." Thomas glanced at Zach, turned away, and continued, "The Sabbat has always lacked the power to fight against the Secret Alliance. We all know that they are hoping to take advantage of the Secret Alliance caused by your Toledo. Civil war, when we are weak, win over new clans and supplement their strength... "
Zach waved his hand, not knowing what emotion to listen to, it would be better not to listen.
Our vampire Zach interrupted Thomas's narration, "I'm not here to supplement the history of the development of the Secret Alliance while I was away. I don't care." Zach glanced at Thomas, "Now, I just want to Knowing the situation of these guys trying to replace the surname 'Toledo', pay attention to the important points, Thomas."
Thomas watched Zach finish speaking, with a gloomy face and twitching corners of his mouth, "But our refusal is of no use."
Zach shook his head. Thomas seemed not to give up teaching history and stubbornly continued what he said before.
"We, who continue to round up the remaining Toledo, have no energy to care about the sneaking Sabbat." Thomas paused, "Then, the 'assassin' thing appeared."
It's very vivid. Zach can only ignore the history that he doesn't want to hear and focus on the key points that he wants to know. "Is this the current Sabbat Toledo?"
"These outsiders who came from afar were seduced by the Sabbat and vented their hatred on us for not being able to obtain the surname 'Toledo' and not being able to become a member of the Thirteen Clan and gain privileges!" Thomas became obviously angry and glared. Asking Zach, "While you are roaming free somewhere, our alliance is being attacked by such a group of nameless bastards!"
Zach looked at Thomas, no longer wanting to repeat the phrase 'blame me? ’ and shook his head, “So, decades of assassinations have made the Secret Alliance compromise and completely abandon ‘Toledo’ who was once a partner. During the last war, it was a very suitable opportunity to do this for this A bunch of nameless bastards sent the senator’s surname to clear their name.”
Zach stood up and chuckled with unknown meaning, "When the truth about Toledo was erased and completely turned into the 'Toledo of the Sabbat' in the mouth of the humans in the west, these assassins finally knew Who prevented them from obtaining the privileges that only the Thirteen Clans have on this federal land."
Zach walked towards the door, looked at Thomas with a smile and nodded, "Thank you, you really, really helped a lot." He opened the door and left. (..)
