On Monday morning, Grande's sister Alice was full of energy and circled around the kitchen, "Benjamin, is your appetite still light?"
"yes."
"Gourd, radish, celery, tomato~" Alice was spinning around the table like a flower.
Zach raised his eyebrows. He had been guarding the door of Sibella's house for the past two days, so he didn't notice it. He came back for a day yesterday, and today, he found that Alice was in a very good mood.
"Alice?" Zach asked tentatively while helping to clean it, "Has anything happened recently that you were happy about?"
"No," Alice replied, carving a carrot flower.
Zach glanced at Benjamin, who was reading the latest issue of "Urban Legends" in the restaurant. He didn't help at all. He curled his lips and looked back at Alice, "Have you seen Brian today?"
"I've seen it." Alice stopped what she was doing, "I didn't see anything."
In other words, Brian, who had been sleeping, could not die, and the banshee's confirmation was unmistakable.
Zach pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking, "'General', 'General'!"
The 'General' appeared close to the kitchen door, avoiding the sunlight outside the south kitchen window.
"Brian." Zach raised his hand and gave the instruction.
"Why do you need me to go!!" The 'General' leaned against the wall, looking unhappy, "You're back! Go and give blood yourself!"
Give blood? Well, it is to prevent Brian, who is in coma and all survival instincts have stopped, from starving to death. He is lying in Grande's guest room. Every day, he needs a little vampire blood to hang this guy's life...
Zack shook the celery in his hand, walked to the desk, and waved the dazzling knife again, as if it was a matter of course. "This is a practice opportunity for you. Can you fully control your healing ability?"
"Tsk!" 'General' walked away against the wall.
Zach continued to purse his lips, looking a little unhappy. Of course it was because of Brian's condition, who would have known that this guy would be so unconscious! Can you understand Zach’s embarrassment? Before, she looked completely confident in front of Emilia, but now she has turned into this.
Well, lucky these days. Amelia didn't bother to call him to inquire about this patient's condition, otherwise God knows how this psychiatrist would 'retaliate' against our vampire. I'm afraid all the 'silliness' she felt before will have to be returned to Zach.
"Zach." Alice suddenly stood next to Zach and looked at the ingredients being chopped under Zach's hand. "It's broken enough. I want to make a salad, not a sauce..."
Zach twitched his lips and put down the knife, "I was a little distracted."
"Is it because of what happened to Sibella and the others?" Alice filled a bowl with celery that was like minced puree, and pursed her lips, as if she was thinking about something. Maybe he had to improvise, "When I was making supper for the detective yesterday, James was in the kitchen. Well, he talked for a long time."
Zach put on a smile, he knew this. The conversation between 'General' and Coulson lasted too long yesterday, and James really didn't want to spend time with Zach, so he hid in the kitchen. Alice kindly made some snacks for the detective.
During this period, James didn't know what was going on. He dragged Grande's sister Alice, who he thought was probably the most innocent person, and kept asking about random things, such as Sibella, Indians, witchcraft, Papa Midnight, and knots. Realm, werewolf...
So Alice almost knew James' troubles, and Sibella 'stole' the Indian corpse found by the police.
"Don't worry about James." Zach smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry about it. Benjamin told me. Sibella and the others..." Zach paused, "It's mainly John, he wants to study Werewolf, those corpses are rare research materials, so we have collected them for the time being."
Alice's expression froze for a moment. But she immediately recovered, "Oh." Alice worked for a while and then asked, "Then, John, will you come back to Grande?"
Back? Well, John lived in Grande for a while, so that's not a misnomer.
Zach kept a gentle smile, "Do you want him to come back?"
"Well..." Alice hesitated.
"Someone is here." Zach suddenly raised his eyebrows, "It seems to be a wizard. Let me ask you."
Alice blinked, tilted her head, and saw a head poking out from the side of the restaurant door, a stranger appearing out of nowhere.
"Tsk!" Benjamin put down the magazine in his hand and glanced at Alice, "Hurry up breakfast." Then he looked at the head emerging from the restaurant door, "Max, what are you doing here?"
Zach had already walked out of the kitchen and looked at the guy who was a little cautious with his whole body exposed. "Benjamin, you know this guy." Zach touched his nose, "His whole body smells of herbs."
"Yes, I'm sorry, I came directly from Sibella." Max glanced at Zach uneasily and tugged at his clothes unnaturally.
Zach looked at the place where Max was. Some unknown herbal dust fell with his movements. He curled his lips and said, "Stop moving, Benjamin. Since you know him, go get him some clothes to change."
There was impatience on Benjamin's face. He closed the magazine, warned Zach with his eyes, "Don't touch it." He left the restaurant and went to find clothes.
"Would you like to introduce yourself?" Zach smiled and looked at the uneasy wizard in front of him, "I am the master of Grande, Zachary..."
"Toledo." Max actually grabbed the conversation, but immediately returned to his shivering look. He was so nervous that he only dared to glance at Zach with his peripheral vision, "I, I am Max, in Newton, with, and Benjamin. Get up Barton.”
"Oh." The more the other person shrank, the more interested Zach became, and he circled around this guy with bad taste, "I heard Benjamin tell you that you claim to be a wizard who has no ability and was abandoned."
Max looked terrible, but he lowered his head, so he didn't care, "Yes... yes."
"Is that so?" Zach curled his lips, "Then you are still fighting beside Benjamin. It seems that in addition to your inability, you also have problems with your IQ."
Max raised his head suddenly, seemingly excited, "I..." He saw Zach's smiling face, his excitement disappeared, and he pursed his lips. "Benjamin is very strong, I believe in him."
"Yes. Your trust in Benjamin deserves Grande's welcome." Zach stopped teasing the wizard and looked at the kitchen, "Alice, I need to prepare an extra breakfast."
Benjamin is also very quick. Returning to the restaurant, he threw Max a T-shirt with a robot on it and said, "Change outside."
Zach glanced at Benjamin with a raised eyebrow, because Benjamin was holding Brian's clothes.
"What!" Benjamin glared at Zach, "He doesn't know how to wear it anyway."
While Max went to the backyard to change clothes, Zach sat at the head seat of the dining table and asked with his eyes, "What are these guys doing here?"
Benjamin looked back, "Why are you asking me? Ask me!"
Having too much tacit understanding is not a good thing either. Eyes are sometimes more expressive than words.
Zach twitched the corner of his mouth and watched more people in the restaurant. Louise came down and asked with her eyes who the shirtless guy was in the backyard. When she didn't get an answer, she shook her head and went to the kitchen to help. Old Hank wandered in with today's newspaper under his arm. He threw the newspaper in front of Zach and said in a loud voice, "Page 4!"
This was Old Hank's habit, usually after he finished reading the newspaper. He would shout if he thought it was interesting. Before Grande even started to pay attention to the major events in Barton, Grande relied on Old Hank's interest to accept the events in Barton.
Zach wasn't in a hurry to watch either. Nodding, he folded the newspaper and put it in his hand and looked at Danny, who was about to go to the kitchen to help in a hurry, "Is there something urgent today?"
"Well... Willy's mother is looking for a job. I know Willy will be worried, so I went to help look after her." A short and direct answer.
Zach nodded and stopped asking. Friendships between aliens and humans are so entangled.
"Is breakfast ready?" Old Hank urged impatiently at the dining table. Ignore it, Max comes in.
Max obviously didn't agree with his clothes at this time. He looked even more unnatural than before, tugging on the hem of the cartoon T-shirt, stuffing it in and pulling it out, "I, I've changed..."
Zach nodded. He just looked at this guy with a smile and said nothing.
"I..." This guy hadn't yet said what he wanted to do when he suddenly came over while Grande was still preparing breakfast. Naturally, we had to wait for him to speak first, "I'm here..."
Zach raised a hand, "Quiet." Zach glanced at Benjamin, who pursed his lips, "Someone is here again. The convoy."
Zach glanced at Max, stood up, and pointed to the corner of the dining table farthest from the main seat, "You sit there." A real smile appeared on his face, "The old man from Grande is back. Benjamin ,follow me."
'came back
We count the 'people who went out', Crowley is back, Sibella and John are back, James and Fitz are back, Benjamin and Matthew are back. Is there anyone else who needs to 'come back'? Yes, the Saints gang and... Wait, Zach was talking about 'Grand's old people', does the Saints count? Ignore it, by the way, who is left
In the unusually neat and solemn convoy, only the middle car drove into the Grand's backyard. The driver in military uniform got out of the car and first gave a normal salute to the two Grand owners who came out to greet them. , and then opened the back door.
"Kim." Zach smiled, looking at the strange Republican-faced man who got out of the back seat expressionlessly, "Welcome back."
The shapeshifter, or we can call him the 'Gecko', Jin glanced at Zach and nodded to the driver, "I'm here, you can go."
The driver saluted respectfully, quickly returned to the car, turned around, and left with the convoy. Looking at the direction, it was heading west, towards the Church of the Holy Son.
Don't be surprised. These are obviously the courtesy of the military personnel to Jin. Jin is one of the official envoys of the Federation to the Republic, as it should be.
Don't be surprised that this motorcade will go to the Church of the Holy Child at this time. Isn't the woman who arranged for Jin to be the envoy to make Barton's republican party go there
As for why Jin is back now, well, Sibella and the others rely on John's modified Papa Midnight Witchcraft to go and come back. Jin, the real envoy, is not so convenient. Returning from the Republic to the Federation is half a A world away!
Jin's eyes were strangely separated, one looking at Zach and Benjamin who were smiling, and one looking towards, uh, the Grand kitchen, "Alice is making breakfast." This is a statement.
"Yes." Zach raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You came back in time." He patted Jin, who still maintained a republican appearance, and said, "Come in."
Benjamin tilted his head and looked at Jin as he walked, "Are you going to keep looking like this? Well, you're also wearing perfume?"
When walking into the stairwell, Jin's cheeks were twitching and he adjusted his appearance. Judging by the trend, he looked like James... Well, that's not the point. On his twitching cheeks, his eyes rolled around. It turned out that the stairwell The door leading to the office on the east side disappeared, and he had noticed changes in Grande's layout. At the same time, he also answered Benjamin's question, "It's not me, it's her." Jin Chong took out a vermilion box from his pocket.
A soft, soothing fragrance spreads. Zach had doubts about this answer. Before he could ask, the three of them had already entered the restaurant accompanied by the fragrance.
Alice was already waving from the kitchen, "Kim! Welcome back!"
"Alice." Jin, whose cheeks were gradually shaping, glanced at Max in the restaurant and turned away expressionlessly. Max, on the other hand, looked frightened, "Yi, the shapechanger..."
Jin actually ignored Zach's enthusiasm and opened the seat, and went straight to the kitchen with the vermilion box in his hand, "Alice, I brought you a pastry teacher."
Jin looked at the table where the ingredients were piled up. Louise took a clean rag very discerningly and cleared a clean area. Even Danny the Illusionary tilted his head and looked at Jin who came back doubtfully.
"Mo." Jin's voice actually had a tone... He seemed, uh, because he has always been emotionless, I'm not sure if it was, um, gentle, "You can come out now." He put down the phone in his hand. The box opens gently.
The morning light that shrouded the small vermilion box was pushed away.
Silk, or brocade, turns the early morning light into a soft halo. The complicated silk patterns are engraved with the pushed halo, and a dazzling exotic costume is suspended above Grande's desk.
Everyone's eyes unconsciously looked up at the fair skin, warm red cheeks, black hair studded with pearls...
The woman who appeared slightly hid her face, "Shou Gong (Jin), everyone is looking at me."
The first person to react, who no one could guess, was Louise.
"I, I can see you..."
"Thank you." The woman Jin called Mo still half-hidden her face, but there was a smile in her tone, "I exist to show others."
This woman has already spoken two sentences, and you can tell that her accent is a bit strange. The language of the Commonwealth was not her native language.
The second person to react, which no one could guess, was Max.
This guy rushed from the far end of the dining room table to the kitchen. He shouted, "Ghost! The legendary soul alien race on the other side of the world (the Republic), ghost!"
The third person who reacted appeared, the old Hank at the table. When our Grand master, Zach, finally reacted and was about to go to the kitchen and show the etiquette of the host to this new Grand 'person' , snorted heavily, "Huh! Beautiful woman! Beautiful woman again!" (.)
