"You said they have no feelings for werewolves..." Zach obviously wouldn't allow the topic to focus on his shortcomings. He looked at Alpha, who curled his lips, and expressed his doubts in a timely manner, "And you don't have any objections to them, what do you mean? ?”
Benjamin didn't seem to want to answer this question. After all, these were the lives he had lived when he still had a pack of wolves, which was already very far away.
However, Benjamin still shook his head and said, "We like to hunt." 'We', obviously werewolves, "Our biggest hobby is to find vampires and then hunt them." Benjamin glanced at Zach, "Because we live In the central part of the Federation, the ones we hunt most often are the members of the Secret Alliance, Bruch, Mokavi, Fanzhuo... "
Three clans are missing from Benjamin's list. Gangaro, in his animal form, cannot be detected by werewolves. The story of Rimmer who possesses magic has already been told (illusion), so I won’t repeat it. And Toledo, who is sitting opposite Benjamin. Why? There is no Toledo anymore, or the number is so small that there is only one.
Zach was unconsciously distracted. If he was 'lucky' to meet Benjamin earlier, then...
"One time we were hunting down a certain family from Bruch, eight vampires in total. We met the 'assassin' who had been with the Sabbat for the first time." Benjamin knocked on the table to remind the distracted Zach to focus. But he frowned, "It can't be called an encounter. When we completely surrounded each other, they suddenly appeared. Four of them did not have the breath of vampires, but they used vampire attack methods and slaughtered the one who was also surprised. The Bruch family.”
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Are they powerful?"
"Yes." Benjamin nodded, looking thoughtful. "Because of their strength, the wolves remained vigilant and watched." Benjamin waved his hand. "After the massacre, they did not stay and disappeared. Even the most powerful tracker in the wolf pack could not find them. trace."
Then, Benjamin twitched his lips and said, "After that, we will often 'meet' them and cooperate occasionally without realizing it."
Benjamin glanced at Zach, his expression filled with inappropriate relief, "Wolves hunt vampires out of hobby and inertia. You are the enemies of the werewolves, starting from the Alphas of the previous generation. You are the enemy."
Benjamin's title changed and he chuckled, "But those 'assassins' don't seem to belong to 'you'." Alpha looked at Zach's uncomfortable expression and raised his eyebrows deliberately, "Of course we are happy to see someone Sharing the same hobbies as us. It was a very wonderful time, worth remembering.”
Zach felt he needed a drink and waved, "You're making me nervous. Benjamin."
Benjamin smiled, this was a punishment for Zach insisting that he didn’t want to recall the past!
But Zach's question was answered. Werewolves appeared to fight the invading colonists. Was the 'Assassin' at that time, now the Sabbat Toledo, an invading colonist? At most they are just stowaways!
In turn, it's even simpler. The Toledo of the Sabbat have never experienced the history of their own group being suppressed and beaten by werewolves! Why make enemies of the wolves who have the same hobby as them - ravaging the secret alliance? !
After accepting his words of relief, Benjamin patted the table. The soft thuds were a comfort to the vampire's nervousness. Benjamin stood up. Turn around and leave.
"Don't leave yet." Zach leaned forward and raised his eyebrows, looking dissatisfied with desire. "We haven't finished talking yet."
Benjamin's face turned sideways, his brows furrowed. Alpha was very hungry, "What else can you say?"
Benjamin finished telling what he thought he had experienced before Sibella called to interrupt the conversation, and Zach was filling in what happened in the real world for Benjamin.
In chronological order, the entire incident is narrated from the initial focus on 'Varmina' to the full authority of 'Varmina' to Nuo. Then Zach and James jointly discussed the destruction of the old Grand in the West End, and the focus of the incident shifted to 'Toledo'. Then last night at Rept's dance, the focus shifted once again and became 'Colt'.
When Sibella's call came, Zach had already finished telling the facts. But according to our vampire's little hobby of talking to Benjamin, these three concerns must be reviewed one by one, because none of them will affect Grande's future life!
However, in order to make Benjamin feel depressed because he missed the reality, Zach thoughtfully developed the topic based on his own weaknesses. As you can see, Zach mentioned 'Toledo' first.
Zach curled his lips. The saddest thing was that his kindness was not appreciated. Zach had planned to use the topic of "Colt is actually real, Benjamin, you are right" to completely cultivate Benjamin. Emotions (when Nuo sent Colt, Benjamin confirmed it was authentic by hearing his description from Alpha in a pack of wolves). The fact that 'Valmina' destroyed Alpha was left to the end.
Unfortunately, Benjamin didn't appreciate it, and Zach raised his eyebrows, "Now we have to discuss the matter of 'Valmina'." Zach deliberately put on a smile and winked at Benjamin, "You don't expect to rely on Smith, just be able to clean up something like this that can even be knocked down by you."
Benjamin twitched the corner of his mouth, not hiding his disdain for Zach's childish behavior, "What are you discussing?" Benjamin turned around and stared at Zach with an impatient expression, "Don't tell me, you can't even Valmina doesn't understand anything."
Zach raised his eyebrows. Benjamin's words were very strange. Even Sibella didn't understand something. Why would Zach, a vampire who is perfect with blood, understand
Benjamin pursed his lips and shook his head, sighing, "Do you remember the night before yesterday..." Benjamin frowned and changed his words, "Wednesday night, the story I told you, our wolf pack surrounded Rimmel."
Zach frowned, he remembered. He still remembered Benjamin struggling with Rimmer's illusions... illusions.
Benjamin saw the change in Zach's face and knew that this slow...no, it should be a vampire who didn't care about the members of the secret alliance he once belonged to - Zachary Toledo already understood what he wanted to express.
He shook his head, turned around, and continued to prepare to leave the office. Zach needed to be alone to digest it.
"Wait." Zach stood up and pushed the office chair away with his upright legs. He frowned, lowered his head, and began to circle around the chair.
Benjamin looked at Zach impatiently, one after another...
"Are you sure?" Zach was still circling, not as if he was anxious, but simply wanted to move his body.
But we all know that Zach is a guy who is good at hiding his emotions, so just through our private communication, I can tell you that Zach is distressed. He just discovered that 'Varmina' who was supposed to be Benjamin's weakness has turned into himself. Weakness…
"Are you sure?" Benjamin twitched his lips, "Tell me." Benjamin snorted, "Little trick (Zach's previous name for describing Rimel's illusion magic), can you find the second little trick that can make Alpha get lost? What?"
Benjamin's thinking principle seems to be very clear. When you hear the sound of horse hooves approaching, think of horses, not zebras or unicorns! So when Benjamin realized that he was living in a self-righteous hallucination separated from reality, he thought of horses.
Zach walked around behind the chair, held the back of the chair, pursed his lips for a long time, and forced a smile, "By the way, Benjamin, 'Colt' is real, you are right." Shameless The vampire actually changed the subject at this moment!
"Tell me, should we kindly inform Sibella or Crowley?"
"Tsk!" Benjamin responded, turned around, ignored this guy, and walked out of the office. (..)
