When he returned to Grande, Zach felt indifferent. It seemed that no one cared about the owner of Grande who had been kidnapped.
Sher at the Holy Child Church had already discussed the contents of the ceremony and returned to Bishop. Louise did not even wait for Zach to pick her up back to Grande, and went directly to the North District to make purchases.
The only Grande member who might care about Zach was not there, and there were a bunch of guys who didn't even know that Zach was being kidnapped.
Kyle didn't know why Grande came over again and was harassing Alice.
Blake also came and talked with John nervously in Benjamin's warehouse.
The Saints and Gangaro came, and they also brought with them a person that looked familiar to Zach, uh, undead? Let’s talk about it later.
Sibella also came, seemingly with different purposes, and everyone who was supposed to come came. Except for the fallen angel Crowley, who was probably still having an unknown conversation with Taylor, but Zach guessed that Crowley would definitely appear last in time.
Sibella, who fit the image of an old woman, was sitting by the hammock basking in the sun, and she was listening.
It was Benjamin who occupied the hammock while Alpha sunned himself. By the way, he instilled in the young wolf Matthew the knowledge of how to break the necks of other races as quickly as possible. Sibella was listening to this and would occasionally add a word or two.
Zach was unhappy with Alpha's behavior. Why do we need to summarize? We have plenty of time to educate Matthew properly, so why rush!
Zac originally had priorities, but it seemed that Sibella would always insert a sentence in Alpha's education without meaning, "The recovery ability of werewolves is weaker than that of vampires. To deal with any alien race, you can't always rely on your own." Self-healing capabilities, especially those of soul-like aliens, should not waste their own blood needlessly. There is a reason why werewolves act in groups. Benjamin, you can't always instill the idea of Matthew rushing to the front... "
Zach couldn't stand it anymore, so he threw it away first, and stood next to Sibella under the afternoon sun.
"Sibella, what are you doing?" This is not a question. It's a reminder.
Sibella glanced at Zach and said, "Just telling the truth."
"How Grand educates his descendants." Zach twitched his lips, "It's none of your business."
Sibella waved her hand and stopped talking.
Benjamin glanced at Zach and continued to summarize his education, "Sibella is right, vampires only need to hide somewhere and suck blood to recover. We need food and sleep, just like ordinary people. There is no solution. You are not Alpha, you are only one person, and you cannot create a group for yourself to support each other. All you can do is wait for the full moon to launch an attack."
"Oh." The honest Matthew didn't seem to know the essential reason for this summative education. He only nodded to show that he remembered it.
Zach did frown, it was still the same question, why so urgent!
The 'only one person' in Benjamin's words undoubtedly aggravated this uncomfortable feeling for Zach. Zach twitched his lips, "Or you come to me." Zach glanced at Alpha. He said in a bad mood, "If one day you are 'only one' and don't have enough blood, I will lend it to you."
This is childish agitation.
Remember what racial talent vampires are most proud of? It is eternal life, and Zach is not prepared to use it for a small trip to the Republic that is about to start tomorrow. Give away the things you are most proud of. Alpha Benjamin, it’s better to have this awareness instead of explaining your funeral here!
Benjamin glanced at Zach and actually nodded, "Zach is right. You can find him."
Zach's eyes twitched and he glanced at Sibella as a warning. He stopped talking and walked towards the warehouse.
The reason for this warning is that Zach doesn't know what the two people said while he was away, and why Alpha seems to have given up. This is the last thing Zach wants to see!
Benjamin's warehouse has been occupied by John these days. On the second floor, Blake was hesitating while holding a piece of paper with Indian writing on it. He was relieved to see Zach coming. Blake just needed someone who could reassure him to explain.
Zach first looked at Jackson, who was struggling to recite the Indian language silently. He had not yet entered high school, so it was normal for him to be unfamiliar with the Indian language. Then he looked at Blake, temporarily put aside his unhappy mood, smiled, took the paper filled with Indian characters, and looked at it.
"John." Zach raised his eyebrows, "What is this? I still know the soul-inducing curse." Vampires may instinctively reject witchcraft, but four centuries and a lost battle have enriched their experience there. , the general effect of the witchcraft spell can still be seen.
"This is not a soul-inducing spell, more like..." Zach raised his eyebrows, listening to the translucent cyan Jackson chanting, "Wedding vows."
Remember how James established a connection with Ryan? It was because James was tricked by Zach and recited the soul-inducing spell prepared by Sibella. Zach thought simply, it was enough to do the same thing now, so that Blake could see Jackson, and the purpose was achieved.
"This is a contract." John seemed to have a bad attitude towards Zach. He was taught a lesson by Zach yesterday afternoon. This dissatisfaction obviously continues to this day.
"Contract." Zach frowned, his tone unkind, "What contract?" This is no wonder Zach's prejudice against witchcraft, but what is the most famous contract in the witchcraft system? It's a Death Apostle contract. There's no need for prejudice. It's essentially a bad thing!
Zach was not sure whether the Dead Apostle Contract only had Papa Midnight, but the wizard in front of him was John, who had fully proven that he was no less talented in witchcraft than Papa Midnight. Zach needed confirmation.
"Binding contract." John obviously saw what Zach was thinking and twitched his lips, "You can use it as a wedding vow to bind two souls and establish an equal relationship between two independent souls. and unobstructed communication, they will advance and retreat together.”
It makes sense, but Zach, who had just seen the Bishops' current situation in the morning, was disdainful at this time.
Zach looked at the weird expression on Blake's face, shook his head, and threw away the paper, "John, let's keep it as simple as possible, just a simple soul-inducing spell."
"Huh." John showed disdain without concealing it, turned away and sat beside Benjamin's bed, "Jackson said, you are here to help the two of them understand this complete world together. They are companions, no matter what Whatever happens, we have to face it together, right?" John shook his head, "This complete world is not beautiful at all. They have to work together, and I don't think there is anything wrong with me preparing a contract specifically for them."
Jackson, who had been struggling to correct his pronunciation, also stopped practicing. His body floating in the air rotated and looked at Zach, then Blake, and then John, remaining silent.
Zach frowned, this was his reason for convincing Jackson, and it sounded full of warmth. But we know that this is not an equal partnership.
Jackson was used by Zach to fill Blake's view of time for his own purposes. There are also more private reasons. Zach has said that Blake can protect Jackson from Crowley. Please think more deeply. —Jackson needs to be protected from demons.
This will be Barton and Blake's most direct stance in a complete world where the alien elements are already complex enough.
Therefore, what Zach needs is not some equal and beautiful binding contract.
"Your idea is good." Zach shook his head, "But after all, they are two independent people... the undead and humans. They will encounter different things, have different perspectives on the world, and have different feelings. Things are completely different. Binding them is making things difficult for them, don’t you think." Zach didn't want to give the other party a chance to refute, "Just use the soul-inducing technique, keep it simple."
"No." John refused without even looking at Zach. (..)
