Sometimes you really need to lament the direction of things. When James wanted to stay in Grande for the night on the grounds that it was 'too late, there was no car, and it was too far to go back to the North District', he ran straight to the room he thought belonged to him.
Then it didn't take long for him to run up to Zach who was waiting again on the back porch with a gloomy look on his face, "Wes is in my room."
Alice is the only one who does Grande's housework, so although Grande has many rooms, there will only be one empty room unless something unexpected happens. Obviously Grande didn't expect any guests to stay overnight today. Zach just felt amused by James' expression, 'my room', and waved his hand, "You can go to Hank's room, he won't be back recently."
James remembered the things that annoyed him again, and said, "I'm going to Matthew's room." He turned around and left.
Zach smiled and shook his head, and continued to sit on the bench on the back porch, tilting his head to look at the stars.
Waiting has never been Zach's strong point, although it is different from the usual daily life at the Grand House, where he is doing nothing. But purposeful idleness makes vampires feel like their lives are wasted.
Is this a strange thought? It's easy to think about it this way. People will die, death is the 'goal', and doing nothing while alive is a waste of life. Well, then, look at Zach, this guy has no 'goal', his life is eternal, so no matter what he does, it has nothing to do with wasting, he has a lot of time.
Adding a 'goal' to this huge amount of time makes Zach feel like he is not doing his job properly now. Well, that's what it means. Tonight, Zach's whole body was haunted by this feeling, which was unpleasant.
The sound of wheels rolling came from the gravel road in front of the Grand. Zach turned his head and looked at the entrance to the backyard. The Hayate family's minivan arrived under darkness.
The driver was 'Firefly'.
Perhaps because of his mood, Zach pursed his lips and said, "There are so many people you can take with you, but you take this one."
There were only two people in the car, and without Corden's support, Sibella's movements were quite smooth. Pushing open the car door, holding the cloak on his shoulders, he glanced at Zach, "What else can you expect? A blood descendant of Papa Midnight (Yinghuo is a descendant of the Banshee, and the first Banshee was Papa Midnight's Sister, Volume 6) There are only a few." Sibella subconsciously glanced at the second floor of Grande, in the direction of Alice's room, "You should feel lucky. He is still willing to come to Grande to help. "
Zach looked at the Indian man who opened the door and got out of the car. He tilted his head towards this man whom he had never officially met before and said, "Quiet, everyone is asleep."
The man's movement to close the car door stalled, and the corners of his eyes twitched. What Zach meant was, 'Even if you come again, it doesn't mean you are allowed to meet Alice.'
The man took a deep breath. Suppressing his emotions, he closed the car door slowly and softly.
"Zach." Sibella didn't seem to be in a good mood either. "If you really want us to help, just be nice. We don't owe Grande anything."
"Then please remind me how Papa Midnight first knew that there was such a small city in the east of the Federation." Zach seemed to continue his malice towards the Indians in the morning without giving in, "Sibella. You owe me a lot." big."
Sibella's face darkened, and she stopped looking at Zach and stepped directly onto the back corridor and opened the stairwell door, "The office is still my room."
Another room for me, why does every guy who has ever stayed at the Grand think that the Grand's room belongs to them. Perhaps the strange composition of the Grande is destined to make it more like a hotel where all kinds of people gather than a home for some people.
never mind. Don't dwell on this problem, Zach said with a smile, "Office."
Zach habitually stayed at the end to enter. The Indian man in front suddenly turned his head before entering, frowned and said, "John, funny."
Zach was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
"Just call him John." Sibella walked in front, without looking back, and opened the office door, "He gave up his original name."
Zach understood, nodded, and responded to the other person's known title, "Zach."
When she first entered Grande's office, Sibella was a little surprised. It was so different from what she saw last time. Sibella sat in front of the office and said in a bad tone, "You were not talking nonsense this morning. You have really been robbed."
But his attention was immediately attracted by the video tape on the table, "Is this it?"
Zach nodded, sat behind the desk, bent down and lifted up a heavy machine, "And this, the whole set."
Sibella had doubts on her face, and James did not give details when he informed her that he was coming. No need to go into details, Sibeira will definitely come when she hears the words "Papa Midnight".
Zach began to quickly relay the previous conversation with Wes James to Sibella.
Zach didn't want to waste time. In the vampire's mind, a response plan needs to be discussed before Benjamin returns. According to the time of every previous gathering, Benjamin would be back after midnight, and Zach needed to hurry up.
"Slow down." Sibella was very dissatisfied with Zach's hurried speech, "You bought these devices yourself, how can Papa Midnight ensure that these things will reach Grande?"
"I'm so unlucky." Zach twitched the corner of his mouth, not wanting to discuss this topic, because if we dig into it, it means that the leader, Papa Midnight, has predicted and mastered everything about Grande! Even if it's something as trivial as a Grande member's sudden desire to shop!
If we talk about Teddy and Mel and Wes and James and Grande, this long relationship can also be regarded as being inferred by Papa Midnight, who is already good at conspiracy, because of Teddy's information. How did Papa Midnight know about the sudden purchase desire? It's too much.
Remember, when Grande would go shopping at Old Mel’s and casually give Madison a typewriter because of whom? It was because of Matthew's sudden proposal. Yes, Papa kidnapped Matthew, the half-rescued wolf cub from Alpha, in the middle of the night.
For the sake of friendship with Alpha, the vampire Zack really doesn't want to touch this part.
Sibella and John looked at each other, exchanging glances. The wizard's eye contact had no effect on Zach, and Zach quickly advanced the narration process.
"... He wants Benjamin in exchange for Teddy." After all was said and done, the vampire had time to get himself some late-night snack. "That's impossible." Zach glanced at Sibella, "I'm telling you that you are here because of something related to Papa Midnight. I will definitely catch you because you owe it."
Zach swung the wine glass, "Now I know the whole content." Zach smiled inexplicably and shook his head. "I can't say I'm right, but you should be aware that your actions have caused trouble for Grande again."
Zach looked at Sibella, his meaning was very clear, if it weren't for Sibella's spice, what happened now wouldn't be the case. Benjamin is indeed getting stronger, a good thing? Apart from becoming lazy and eating more to adapt to secondary growth, Alpha has not discovered any benefits yet. Trouble has come, and it’s still Papa Midnight level trouble!
But we still don’t know whether this is Zach’s sincerity, or whether it is more like the inertial continuation of the vampire’s malice towards the Indian wizard.
"Do you want to give the spices directly to Papa Midnight?" Sibella looked at Zach and asked.
"Giving something I've never liked in exchange for an innocent child, a simple decision." Zach answered.
"No." Sibella immediately rejected Zach's simple decision.
"Reason." Zach sipped his midnight snack.
"If you believe me, don't give the spices to Papa Midnight." Sibella said calmly.
"I don't believe you." Zach responded directly. Without mercy, "But I believe. If I give the spice to Papa Midnight, he will definitely use it on his 'warriors'."
'Warriors'? All werewolves, Alphas, were Papa Midnight's warriors in the war four centuries ago. After that, the war ended and the Federation became independent. The soldiers were unemployed, and the legacy of freedom was lost. Benjamin, oh, Benjamin is a werewolf tribe with a very bad heritage. The fact is in Grande.
So is there really no war now? Ask about those who disappeared in the Federation under the Holy Lord’s faith. Ask those guys 'up there' who caused the gate to hell to open; ask the secret alliance of vampires who disappeared in the middle; ask Papa who keeps jumping to different locations on the screen!
Are there no Alpha warriors in Papa Midnight now
"Don't you want Papa to test this 'magic' spice on his Alpha at midnight?" Zach squinted and looked at Sibella. Papa Midnight’s current Alpha, don’t we just know one, Rivenchi Gale.
Of course! Didn’t Zach keep emphasizing it? He doesn't trust the spice! No matter what facts are put in front of him, he will not believe it! Of all the magical things related to aliens, vampires only believe in blood! This is instinct!
Sibella stopped talking and lowered her head in silence.
Zach had only experienced this kind of scene not long ago. When he sent the sleeping Benjamin and 'Valmina' to Sibera's house, Sibera, who should have rebutted Zach immediately, did the same. No wonder Zach is paranoid, Sibella’s behavior is really suspicious!
The unnerving silence continued.
"I don't want to." It was John who broke the silence.
"John..." Sibella turned her head reflexively and spoke, but was interrupted.
"It doesn't matter." John watched the vampire's eyes shift to him and continued, "You don't need to trust my spices, because I don't trust you either."
Zach looked at the real 'firefly' who bumped into Danny, "Yours, spice."
"Yes." John looked at Zach with no expression, "I made this thing, the materials, configuration, efficacy, everything was created by me." John looked at Sibella, "That's why Sibella There is very little description of it in the witchcraft notes left behind, and she is not clear on the reason why spices work. Because Sibella doesn’t know either.”
Zach frowned and his eyes shifted back and forth between Sibella and John. The reason is very simple. When Sibella left, he left such details as witchcraft notes for Grande. He actually knew the details. The relationship between these two guys is very unusual!
Don't get it wrong.
"There are only two things you need to know." John also frowned, knocked on the desk, and fixed Zach's wandering eyes on him, "All the things I did, one, to protect my sister , Alice; Two, Study Papa Midnight, Revenge."
Zach raised his eyebrows, but still shifted his gaze and glanced at Sibella. After thinking about it for a while, it turned out to be like this!
No wonder Sibera's explanation that spices are for Grande to become stronger is so far-fetched. Zach was very comfortable in Barton at that time, and he didn't feel any crisis yet. There was no reason to be strong at all.
Now it seems that this is just an excuse that Sibella came up with at the moment! The real reason is Alice! Wizards don't trust vampires, and they trust Alpha a little bit for historical reasons. Alice is in such a family, she just chooses the less bad one between two bad choices!
This is the real reason why Benjamin got the spice!
Then there was Sibella's departure immediately after the Papa Midnight Incident. 'Study Papa Midnight', John just said, Sibella went to the experts for help after losing two sons one after another! This could explain why Sibella came back with John as a hostage exchange for the devil!
Zach shook his head. This thought was a distraction and was not helpful to the current matter. Zach resumed his frown and looked at John, "I haven't heard the reason why I can't give something I don't trust to Papa Midnight, save everyone the trouble, and exchange it for a child."
"Because if you give it to him, it won't be of any use." John looked at Zach, "If you give Papa Midnight Spice, he will definitely ask for Alpha, Benjamin himself."
Zach's eyebrows deepened, "Are you trying to tell me that Benjamin is the only Alpha that the spice has an effect on?" Zach laughed inexplicably, "This is really..."
"Stop praising your Grande." John said with a sullen face, interrupting Zach, "Based on Sibella's narration, I reconstructed the entire process of Ravenci becoming Alpha. Papa Midnight's current Alphas are different from all the Alphas on the Federation's current continent. They are easier to manipulate and have no ability to inherit descendants. My spices have no effect on these castrations."
After John finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, his expression changed, he looked at Sibella, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I didn't mean that."
Sibella just pursed her lips, shook her head, and said nothing.
Zach's frown had completely relaxed, but his eyes were still on the wine glass he was leaning to his mouth.
What John revealed in his words was that he was actually able to deconstruct Papa Midnight's method of creating Alpha. In addition to the words of Papa Midnight quoted by Weiss before, Papa Midnight was amazed by the evolution of his creation. Zach began to realize that Alice's brother was very powerful!
Putting aside these once again distracted thoughts, Zach was convinced.
Zack, who had no intention of causing Grande to lose anything because of an incident that just started out of boredom, put down his glass of wine, "Well, John, you have rejected my proposal. You who study Papa Midnight , it’s time to talk about your proposal.” (..)
