Grande's whole family was invited to the wedding, so Danny the Fantasy could only be considered late. But Detective Coulson, who rushed into the party halfway, barged in completely uninvited.
However, no one paid attention to this intruder, because most of the guests were sweating for the bride and groom. The wedding game has been going on so far, and the newlyweds have only given the same answer to one question—
"How many children do you want?" After Eric asked this question nervously, the newcomers on both sides of the campfire raised a finger at the same time.
When the guests all breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the marriage was not completely hopeless, Coulson found James hiding in the farm and went straight in.
Of course Zach, who would 'eavesdrop' on the conversation between the two police detectives, listened for a while with raised eyebrows, then lost interest - it was a dispute between partners.
Detective Coulson discovered new clues in the southeast and asked James to investigate with him, but James refused.
The two new clues Coulson revealed were things Zach knew. One is a warehouse in the woods at the junction of the west and north districts. Yes, the warehouse that Sibella just mentioned. When the police found the mutilated corpses of the Indians that Sibera had temporarily abandoned, they also discovered the condition of the warehouse facility.
The place used as a storage warehouse for personal belongings by the people of the West End had long since been 'looted' (Zach and Nozen witnessed the warehouse being massacred by Skoll's men). After being reminded by the 'General', Coulson was paying attention to Aix in the southeast ('The General' told Coulson that the gang was the first to attack the 'General's' headquarters), and then discovered that this warehouse was in Aix. industry. Coulson believed that the chaos in the Southeast began when Aix's warehouse was 'ransacked'.
The second clue is relatively recent. The cargo collapse incident at the Port of Marsa was reported in the news yesterday. right. Discovered by Alice, Benjamin promptly prevented the accident that caused casualties. During the police investigation, it was discovered that someone from Aix had tampered with the goods.
Coulson's conclusion was to hug the thigh of the owner of Port Massa, Fisher (the third generation in the West End who knew Zach's "secret", the father of the chubby Cody Fisher). With the influence of this big man in the West District, Coulson's investigation progressed. It will be much smoother.
There is nothing surprising. The chaos in the southeast will definitely be traced back to the people in the west. The ultimate person behind the scenes is Falcon, and it is reasonable to encounter several other people in the middle.
It's just that Coulson hasn't seen the whole situation yet, and he doesn't know that his investigation will eventually harm the interests of the West Side people. At this time, he thought he was helping the West Side people, so he asked James in a righteous tone. Sir, don't continue to waste your time here. Go and make achievements with him.
James, declined.
"What are they talking about?" Sibella sipped the cheap red wine provided at the party, glanced at the farm, and asked casually, "Don't say you weren't listening."
Zach smiled sideways, and Sibella's relaxed and casual tone seemed to be chatting with a friend. Was it because he had just told Zach the good news and then struck a relationship while the iron was hot? Let her go, "Detective Coulson, James' partner, asked James to go back to work and guard Barton. James said the party had just started and he hadn't made a speech as a friend of the bride yet. Not going."
Guarding Barton's security, well, Sibella certainly knew that Zach was deliberately avoiding the key content, but what could she do. "What do you think James' speech will say."
"I don't know, I don't care." Zach waved his hand and looked around the party, "This party is getting boring. I should go home after the ceremony like Amelia did."
Zach looked in the direction of the mind-reading Morilin family. Louise and Mr. Morilin seemed to be chatting happily. Mo also began to enjoy the party a little, sometimes showing off his dress for Mr. Morilin to observe. Tailoring. The 'General' hid when Coulson arrived, while Rita took Danny around to socialize.
Even Benjamin and the others had some fun - harassing the band and talking about the recent popular rock music. Of course, it also meant to prevent Siberia from talking to him. What Benjamin wanted to say to Sibella had been made very clear that morning.
In summary, Zack is bored, well, only for him.
Sibella also looked around and smiled, "It seems you are going to be bored for a while longer."
"Yeah." Zach shrugged indifferently. He couldn't stop others from enjoying the party just because of him. "Do you have any other interesting topics? Come on."
Sibella's here, "Ryan is going to Grande." While speaking, a thumb-sized glass bottle was placed in front of Zach.
Zach raised his eyebrows, his eyes followed the tiny lines on the vial in front of him, and saw Ryan floating in the air, still looking down with a disdainful expression unique to teenagers, "Why?"
"Teenagers." Sibella said this, "What did you expect? He hates everything his parents, Corden and I have arranged for him. I think, in his mind, the ultimate act of rebellion is himself. I want to live with you, Grande."
Zach continued to raise his eyebrows and looked at Ryan who was curling his lips in mid-air, "Be mature, Ryan. If calculated according to your existing age, you are already an adult."
Ryan, still wearing his quarterback jacket, spun around in mid-air to express his disdain.
Zach looked away and shook his head, "I refuse." It was fake, but Zach wanted to tell Sibella the reason, "He caused trouble to Alice. Your failure in education should not affect others." "
Sibella's face was calm, and she took out a palm-sized notebook, "To compensate Alice, this is John's witchcraft notebook."
Zach frowned and opened the palm-sized notebook, "This is not the original."
"This is a compiled witchcraft manual. Alice doesn't need to look at redundant research manuscripts. These are the results."
Zach opened his eyebrows and closed the notebook, "Okay. But whether Alice accepts this compensation or not is not up to me." This was already an expression of agreement!
Of course, Mo has made it clear that the seeds of the soul-inducing grass are the key to the birth of spirits, so Ryan and Zach will definitely take them. As for this unexpected witchcraft manual. It's an additional code, don't give it up for free.
Sibella didn't express any opinions on Zach's rapid change. She probably saw through Zach's behavior. His change of stance was like turning a page in a book. It was so fast. No, a few days ago. He was still threatening Hayate to seize their house, but now, the two of them were chatting happily and peacefully.
"Speaking of John." Zach had already put away the vial and the witchcraft manual. "Alice asked if he would return to Grande."
But Siberella frowned slightly, "Alice wants him to go to Grande?"
Zach tilted his head and didn't answer, because Alice didn't have an answer for him.
Sibella shook her head, "I'll ask John when I get back. Hum, if you don't care, you can say anything." This was said before sarcasm, Zach didn't care about anything.
"By the way, since I mentioned coming to Grande, Max didn't come to Grande this morning." Zach raised his eyebrows, this was just something he just thought of.
"Max?" Sibella probably didn't expect Zach to mention this guy again. "When he came back yesterday, he mentioned something that seemed to offend Mo. I asked him not to go to Grande."
"Do you know Mo?" Zach raised his eyebrows, but immediately, Zach felt that he had asked a stupid question. Mo was brought by the shapechanger Jin from the Republic, and Sibella went to the Republic, so naturally they have crossed paths.
"I had indirect contact in the Republic." Sibella frowned. At the same time, he tightened his shawl which showed no signs of slipping.
Of course, Zach wouldn't miss this body movement. "It's not an offense. What really offended Mo was Papa Midnight's actions in Republic." Zach narrowed his eyes and looked at Sibella, who was holding her shawl. "Speaking of Papa Midnight, I still don't know if you have made any progress with Ravenchi in the Republic."
"There is no progress." Sibella answered very simply, adjusting her sitting posture, "Humph. Rather than caring about my affairs in the Republic, shouldn't you be more concerned about Sissi and Gangluo, the saints who stay in the Republic."
"Oh? Are you saying that I should care more about the Faith of the Holy Lord and the Secret Alliance?" Zach asked with a smile, "Or the Republic far away on the other side of the world?"
You can see the correspondence, and you can also see the ridicule in this question.
Sibella pursed her lips, glanced at Zach, who was smiling lightly, and shook her head, "This is why I will never have a good impression of you. I don't know what you really care about." She turned away and looked away. At the same time, he added, "Huh, don't talk about Grande. The last Toledo, caring about a funeral home is stupid." Sibella picked up the wine glass and swallowed the cheap red wine.
Zach spread his hands while maintaining a smile. He was really considered stupid, so there was no explanation.
It seems that the conversation here can no longer continue, and the dispute between the two police detectives in the farm seems to have reached a dead end. Coulson slammed the door angrily and walked out. He nodded to Zach from afar as a greeting, and then went back the same way and left here.
But James, after Coulson drove away, also came out. Looking at the direction he was heading, he was actually coming towards Zach.
Sibella was self-conscious and didn't look at Zach's nod. She picked up her wine glass and pulled her shawl, "I won't disturb you anymore." She got up and left.
"Get up." James' face was strangely calm, and he spoke like this across a party table from Zach, "Dungeon game night (today Wednesday), my car." The expression was also extremely concise.
Zach didn't move, tilted his head, and looked at James curiously, "I asked Fitz for leave, but you didn't?"
James didn't answer, but raised his hand. Was he urging Zach to get up
Zack still didn't move and raised his eyebrows, "You haven't delivered your speech yet." What he meant was, don't doubt it, I eavesdropped on the conversation between you and Coulson.
The strange thing is that James didn't respond, and didn't even frown, "There's nothing interesting. The people here, ordinary people, don't know Linda or me, so what I say is meaningless."
Zach narrowed his eyes, "But other 'people' might find it meaningful."
"Do you want to hear my speech?" James tilted his head, "You can listen to what I said in the car."
Zach had to ponder for a moment, then stood up and glanced at Benjamin who was looking over here. In addition, don't forget to pick up the unfinished wine glass, raise it to the groom who is still playing the cruel wedding game, and empty it as a sign before saying goodbye.
He bypassed the horizontal table and let James lead the way.
Finally, James had a familiar expression. He frowned, glanced in the air, and said gloomily, "Why is he following us?" Ryan, the only Earthbinder James could see...
Zach patted the pocket on his side, "He is coming to live in Grande. Sibella just gave him to me. Put it in my pocket. Do you want to see this Earthbinder you saved?" Zach This exotic expression was deliberately used.
James seemed to take a breath and shook his head, "No, keep it in your pocket."
Zach tilted his head and raised his eyebrows, James, that's weird.
After getting into James' car, Zach naturally sat in the passenger seat, and Ryan once again returned to the back seat where he appeared when he was reborn, so he could ignore it.
It was getting dark. The car was moving forward on the dark road. Such scenes and configurations made it seem like time had returned to the moment when James received his first shocking education about aliens.
"I have two versions." James held the steering wheel and spoke, "One was the one Linda helped me think of."
Speech. It may be old-fashioned, but don’t speeches by relatives and friends at a wedding always first tell some experiences of the speaker and the bride and groom, and then express blessings for the couple to start a new journey in life? The latter are nothing more than touching clichés. The former is a single speech in which the only speaker can play and adjust the atmosphere, interspersed with some acquaintances, interesting experiences, etc.
What part do you think Zach recalled listening to? Naturally it is the former.
"One is mine, it's the truth." James said calmly, "Which one do you want to listen to?"
Zach thought, James' performance was, well, unsettling. Either this guy has already broken down, or this guy is in the process of breaking down. Well, Zach actually missed the James who always looked gloomy. "Since the bride Linda has taken the trouble to think about it, I'd better listen to it." Zach answered like this.
"Okay." James drove very slowly. It had something to do with the fact that the roads in the South District were not smoother than those in the North District, and it also had something to do with the fact that his mind was not on driving. "Linda's version starts with the process of our acquaintance. She She is a foreigner from the western part of the Federation who came to Barton alone to start a new life. I am also a foreigner from the western part of the country. We met by chance because of our work relationship, and I helped her a lot in life... "
"Working relationship?" Zach expressed his first question.
James' hand took out an old piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zach.
Zack unfolds and guess what.
It’s an old thing, a list of alien races. This list, in a roundabout way, last appeared when Zach returned it to James at the Grand Cemetery. He used the reason that James could not refuse-'James, you have to let these foreign races go. Wandering around Barton at will? '
For a moment, Zach thought, "Linda, use this list to explain the reason why you know her."
"Yes." James answered quickly, "'I found her when I was investigating these lists.'" James was very calm, "You were wrong just now. The guests there, whether they are aliens or ordinary people, Man, no one cares about my speech. Only you and Grande care. You want to know why I am Linda's friend."
James paused and gave Zach time to react. In fact, he didn't need to. Zach responded quickly and already understood.
James continued, "So, this is all for you. This is what she thought of and how I got to know her. I was asked by you to investigate those alien races, so I met her, the alien race."
Zach closed the list and said, "That makes sense." was the compliment. Our vampire smiled and slowed down his speech, "If you explain it this way, I will completely believe it. Then..." Zach glanced at James' calm side face, "Tell me your version, let me Listen to the facts.”
James took a deep breath, "She is my neighbor in the west. We grew up together."
James grew up with an alien, and Zach smiled, sincerely. (.)
