To the south from the Church of the Holy Child, a rented farmhouse was carefully decorated, where the wedding party was held after the ceremony.
This is also the groom Cliff's business.
Occasionally, people in the North District will temporarily put aside their prejudice against the country people in the South District and come to enjoy a relaxing vacation in the rural style of the South District. But of course, people in the North District may still be unaccustomed to the 'stinky smell' that permeates the fields in the South District, so this farm is almost close to the border of Barton. There are no fields around it, and the word 'farm' is just a gimmick.
Zach has actually been to this place several times. During the full moon cycle, Zach would occasionally walk around the woods on the border of Barton to prevent anyone from straying into the woods during the full moon and becoming Alpha's food, or becoming something else, as you all know, such as Matthew.
And some people from the North who come to this place for vacation seem to particularly like exploring the woods at night, which makes Zach and Benjamin helpless. There is a bounty offered by Bishop in the woods on the border of the North District (bear, Bishop mentioned it when he appeared on the scene, and Alpha's wolf body was treated as a bounty for a wild bear by the 'foolish people'), and there are citizens running around on the border of the South District. Alpha's once-a-month transformation became a burden.
But in recent years, this phenomenon has disappeared, probably because Cliff did something as an adult. Benjamin felt at ease.
The process of transferring guests was not easy. The groomsmen who helped with the arrangements were young men who had never been married. What did they know? So I could only run back and forth in a hurry, taking the guests to the farm in batches.
It was Grande's people who followed this alien group and got there at once, becoming the first group of guests to arrive at the party venue.
The ugly winged woman took out a bunch of torn and crumpled notes from her handbag, threw the things into the bonfire that would be lit at night, and then glanced at Zach with round eyes. "Why are you still following me?" The ugly woman's tone was helpless, "You have already introduced Mei Yao, and I have helped you pass so many notes for free. What else do you want to do?"
"I'm worried." Zach's face also looked helpless. "Once I leave you, someone will come directly to me and try to talk."
The ugly woman's thin lips twitched. "Hmph, do you feel that you are suddenly too close to the people and you can't adapt to it?"
"You can think so." Zach also twitched the corner of his mouth, "I don't reject social interaction, Toledo, I love social interaction. But..." Zach glanced around, and the most popular among the aliens was still Sibera's Gale. family, and then the mind-reading Morelings. Foreigners would often join in the conversations between the two parties.
The 'General' has been dragged by Rita and is not with Grande's people. Therefore, Grande seemed to be the most unsociable person among this group of aliens. Even Mo, who always showed curiosity about the federal wedding and hoped that someone would come to chat, no one dared to come forward to chat.
Zach continued, "I don't want to change the current, um, situation for the time being."
The ugly woman frowned, and this was her first response. "Vampire, you don't need to tell me this." It was avoidance. It's to avoid suspicion. Please understand carefully.
The second group of people to arrive at the farm were the protagonists of the wedding, Cliff and Linda. But they were in a hurry. After saying hello to the aliens, they hurried indoors. The newlyweds needed to change their clothes and start the party.
But at this time. The bridesmaid Riley, who had always been a little lonely, seemed to have no intention of helping the bride change her clothes. James followed Linda in, uh, ignored her first.
Riley didn't do anything to hide it. He walked directly towards Zach and the ugly woman.
"That's great." It was sarcastic. The ugly woman's steps to leave were intercepted by Zach. There was something about her arched back and clothes that was ready to move, as if she was planning to directly... expand , soaring into the sky.
"It doesn't matter if you listen to what she has to say." Zach suggested with a smile. Of course it doesn't matter to him. Riley told him in advance that she would make arrangements for Bishop Manor. It's just that Zach never committed to fighting for Riley, so now he's just a spectator.
Riley, who was approaching, first made a strange salute. It could be seen that it was a one-sided respect from the inferior to the superior, because the ugly woman did not return the salute.
"Mrs. Sheila." Riley spoke. Finally, we can have a decent title to replace the word 'ugly woman'. "This is our first real meeting. Sorry, it's a little late."
"What are you sorry for?" Mrs. Sheila didn't look at Riley or Zach. "I'm sorry for putting that beautiful face that you stole in front of me."
The conversation between these two aliens got off to a bad start.
"My face." Riley was very calm. "I'm afraid it's the only thing I got without plundering. My appearance was given by my mother, just like Mrs. Sheila gave it to your child."
"Humph, child." Still not looking at Riley, "Children are things that have been robbed from parents since conception." Mrs. Sheila looked at Riley and said with her ugly face, "This is what you have robbed after all." Look. Take a good look. I have nothing to say to you, be conscious and disappear from my eyes."
Riley was not self-conscious at all, "I have never met my mother. I may spend a lot of time looking at Mrs. Sheila's face, trying to piece together what my mother looks like."
Mrs. Sheila's round eyes were frowned, but Zach looked on happily.
The mermaid and the winged man are the father and mother, and the siren and the enchantress are the descendants. This kind of genealogical inheritance relationship is unique among alien races. The way of survival of ancient alien races is simply magical in the eyes of Zach, a modern alien vampire (vampires are created by the faith of the Holy Lord). Not to mention that at this time, the son and the mother have a tendency to compete with each other. What's the point of watching a drama without tension
Insert it.
At some point in the future, in order to be able to calmly repair the 'friend' relationship with Riley, well, everyone will see this, so don't worry about it for now. Anyway, I asked Zach in detail about the pedigree of the Mei Yao.
Zach answered this way, "In the long past, I don't know where the Holy Lord faith was, let alone the witchcraft faith that always created strange races. Maybe the alien races, as He Mo said, were born on their own. Perish."
"You mean Mo, like the 'thing' of the Republic. It is born from people, things, and nothing, but there is no way to inherit the race."
"Yes, the reason why the Republic once had complicated beliefs was probably because there was no 'thing' that could form a group and be passed down." It seems that at that time, Zach had no interest in the Republic's 'thing'. Now that I have a better understanding, I won’t mention it now.
"I'm asking about the succubus, Riley, please focus." I know that vampires like to go off topic, so I naturally have to remind Zach at all times not to go too far.
"Oh." Zach waved his hand, "Mei Yao. We call Mei Yao 'she' because it is a race without males, and the same goes for Sirens. It also includes Winged People - their maternal lineage."
"There are no males..." I felt a little uncomfortable and changed to a more comfortable word, "Males, do you want to say that they don't have the ability to reproduce on their own?"
"Yes." Zach nodded, admiring my wit as always, "The same situation exists with mermaids, but they are all males..." Zach looked at me and blinked. He thoughtfully took my feelings into consideration, "Male."
Refer to the vampire's character. Sometimes, I wish he wouldn't be so considerate, so I try to raise issues even more uncomfortably. I said, "The inheritance of alien races is not limited to men and women. You and Benjamin both rely on blood."
"The Faith of the Holy Lord creates vampires who are punished, and Papa Midnight creates werewolves who serve as soldiers in the war. Pay attention to my wording. Create." Zach raised his eyebrows, "Your analogy is quite wrong. You It should be compared with cherubim, something that is also an ancient alien race. You can ask Danny if he can produce offspring."
I'm not going to risk getting burned to death by asking Danny, so. I could only grab what was in front of me, uh, Zach, "Mei Yao, please continue."
"Haha." Zach continued, "You can imagine what it was like in the past. Alien races were born, alien races perished, and there was no inheritance. However, even the humblest creatures have the instinct to pass on. So mermaids and winged people control each other respectively. It’s not surprising that the aliens who control the sea and sky find their own methods of inheritance.”
"Mermaids and winged people, these two races." I frowned, "Combined..." I want to say mating, you know, this word makes me uncomfortable, "So there are beauties, and there are The Kraken…”
"Furthermore, this is a recognized mistake among alien races." Zach narrowed his eyes. "Two alien races that are themselves sterile have created two other sterile races in order to reproduce."
Zach doesn't need to explain anything more. Please follow the logic just now - the enchantress and the siren are both female...females.
But, Zach still continued, I couldn't control it, "What's bad is that the Charms and Sirens cannot copy the inheritance method of their 'parents'. So these two races are destined to be full of malice towards the world from the time they were born. .”
I tried to stop it. Don’t forget, I asked these questions to repair the relationship with Riley, but Zach was beyond my control, so he summed it up like this, “Since I can’t live in this world, To continue, then in this life, take possession of this world as much as possible. So, Madison, don’t think I’m intimidating you, Riley is a natural predator.”
Back to the present.
Mrs. Sheila stared at Riley's beautiful face even without any makeup, "What do you want?" She sounded like a mother who has given everything to her children.
Riley glanced at Zach and said, "It's not me, I'm doing it for Grande..."
"Don't get involved with me." Zach smiled and took a step back. "If I remember correctly, you clearly stated in front of James that you were not doing things for Grande." Remember, James Because he and Coulson were investigating the incident where the security company was sued, they investigated the Bishop Manor, and then after Zach intervened to arrange everything, the incident broke out at the manor. Riley, who was passing by at the time, calmly expressed her free will. Okay, then Zack will give Riley this free will.
The vampire's philosophy of using people makes the people they use think it's for themselves. Zach is implementing this philosophy.
Riley's face looked a little bad, "Zach! Don't get rid of..."
"What do you want!" Mrs. Sheila didn't seem to be interested in getting involved in any trouble. She emphasized her question word by word.
Riley shut up, took a breath, and turned her attention to Mrs. Sheila again, "I want to cooperate with the material supply of Bishop Manor." The next words were addressed to Zach, "I can't maintain Bishop Manor by myself. ,I need help."
"I will not and will not let my employees step into the territory of evil spirits." Mrs. Sheila refused? By the way, the identity of Mrs. Sheila mentioned before is about to be revealed.
"No need." Riley frowned, "I will open a new, safe entrance and exit in the manor. I am also willing to pay double the price. From now on, the supply of supplies in the manor will be left to Mrs. Sheila..."
"Humph..." Mrs. Sheila smiled, sarcastically, and shook her head, "Nature. This is your nature. You have only been in Barton for a short time. The richest family in Barton is already something you can control at will, haha."
Riley pursed her lips, yes, judging from her words, it seemed that Bishop Manor was already hers. Well, it's true.
"Three times the price." Riley said this. She had given up looking at Zach who kept smiling. Zach would definitely shirk it! Is not it? Did Riley's arrangement with Zach really help Grande control Bishop? No, she owes Liszt 2 million!
"Deal." Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sheila, who always revealed her dislike for Riley, actually agreed, "The materials I provide include food, daily necessities, as well as manor maintenance, special equipment cleaning (swimming pool), repair..." Mrs. Sheila, that is You can think of the agent who maintains the daily maintenance of the West End Manor as a butler-like person. "The supplies needed to hold the banquet, huh, but I don't think Bishop Manor will need them. I won't provide the latter."
Riley could only hold back.
"Every Tuesday and Friday, I will send someone to supplement the expenses of your manor..."
"We can discuss these in detail later..." Riley saw that the best men had entered the farm with the third group of guests, ordinary people. Riley probably wanted to put the conversation on hold to fulfill her duties as a bridesmaid.
But she was interrupted.
"There is no detailed discussion." Mrs. Sheila looked like she didn't want to say more. "I will send the contract to Bishop Manor. I am just informing you now. I hope not to see your face again in the future."
When Riley's face turned even worse, Mrs. Sheila turned to Zach and glanced at Grande, "If Grande has any business needs, you can talk to me directly. The price is reasonable and I won't refuse."
Ah! This wing man sees things very clearly.
Then, the ugly woman turned around and was about to walk away, "That's it, Mr. Grande, go find someone else to chat. I'm going to enjoy the party. As you said, maybe this will be Cliff's last time." .I suggest Mr. Grande also take a good rest.”(.)
