Wednesday, near evening.
The construction site on the west side of Grande where the construction frame has appeared was finishing up a day's work. "Mr. Grande! That's it for today, we're off work!" Austin smiled at his employer as always.
"Yeah." Zach remained as indifferent as ever, not looking at Austin's response at all. The direction Zach was looking at was Benjamin's warehouse.
Let me reiterate, today is Wednesday, game night with Fitz's gang of nerds, which means today's Benjamin is not Benjamin.
Zach's mood is a bit complicated now. On the one hand, he is relieved to understand why Benjamin and Mokawe are inexplicably compatible - because Benjamin is also a 'madman' and he has two personalities. On the one hand, um, right and wrong are gratified and happy - now 'Benjamin' is pinched to death by Mokawi.
Zach walked towards the warehouse, the second floor.
"Pull your hands together~" Mokavi stood with a drawing board in front of him, looking at 'Benjamin' who was lying on the ground with a strange smile in front of him, shaking the brush in his hand, "Yes, lick it~" Lick 'Benjamin' own hands.
Zach pursed his lips tightly, walked around the raised buttocks of 'Benjamin' who was lying like a dog... sorry, lying like a wolf, and stood next to Mokavi, looking at the easel.
Zach's eye twitched. Well, I really don’t know what I was expecting before I walked over. Under the brush of Mokawe, as a matter of course, is a woman. Apart from the pair of eyes looking out of the painting, vigilant, frightened, and intimidated, the 'Benjamin' in this painting is not the same as the lying 'Benjamin' in front!
Zach couldn't continue to look at this picture of Benjamin being talked about by a woman, and turned away, "Mokavi, what's your problem? Why are every portrait you draw of a woman?" That picture of Thirteen Clan poker Cards, remember, Mokavi transformed all his companions into female bodies.
Before Mokavi could answer, the body of 'Benjamin', who was lying on his stomach, began to vibrate, "Did you draw a woman?!" There was anger in his eyes.
"Perfect eyes~" Mokavi's brush pointed at 'Benjamin', "Keep it~" The brush was retracted and he clicked back on the eyes of the female body in the painting. It was impossible to see what had been changed. Those eyes that were already very complicated, there were so many Angry.
Mokavi’s artistic expression ability is probably at the god level. Realism techniques that are naturally mastered are not at all due to endless life, such as Eve's sketches and Zach's sketches.
Zach glanced at 'Benjamin' and said, "Don't worry, you are beautiful." As he said this, he twitched the corners of his eyes involuntarily. Having said that, Zach had mixed feelings.
"You asked me a question, little Toledo~" Mokawi smiled and looked at Zach, "Why do I feminize all my works?"
Zach lowered his head and nodded. Mokavi used Little Toledo, which was a reminder. Zach didn’t pay attention to the tone, and he must respect the clan ancestors.
"Because I'm a woman~" Mokawi didn't seem to really mind, "Everything I feel is from a woman's perspective. Every painting is me trying to see myself through other people's eyes~ "
Ugh, what an artist's answer. Zach's mouth formed a line. Well, this glance solved the question that had troubled Zach for countless years. When he was in the Secret Alliance, during the short period of time to awaken and gather the ancestors only when faced with major decisions, Zach had no chance to ask Mokavi such magical questions.
Mokavi suddenly stared at Zach, flipped the brush, and lifted Zach's chin with the other end of the pen.
Zach frowned and involuntarily raised his chin at Mokavi.
"I'm thinking of you, little Toledo, you're Zach."
Zach didn't know what to think, "Yes, I'm Zach. In the past two days, everyone has called me Zach."
"Oh~" Mokavi smiled, took back the brush, and continued to paint on her painting, "I didn't pay too much attention, you know~" She actually blinked at 'Benjamin', "I was just talking to my Chat with new friends~”
'Benjamin' gave Zach a look for help, but Zach turned his head and ignored it. Zach kind of hoped that the person giving him that look was the real Benjamin, but, hey. Mixed feelings.
By the way, regarding 'Benjamin''s current mood, if you can understand it, just understand it. If you can't, just forget it. One of the common ethics of the alien race, the wolf heart that is not in the full moon cycle is a human body. Every pore of 'Benjamin''s body is releasing The fear of vampire ancestors.
"How long will it take to paint? We are going out, as promised by friends." This is the reason why Zach came to the warehouse now.
"Do you have anything to do later?" Mokawi raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said very willfully, "Cancel~ I probably need another night."
Zach frowned and had no choice but to look at Mokawei's painting again, "In my opinion, it is complete." Benjamin, with two single quotes on the painting, was lying on the ground in a shameful posture, with that look in his eyes , simply... Zach really doesn't think there is anything that needs to be improved in this painting.
Mokavi answered with action. She drew a vague shape on the canvas around the female body 'Benjamin', which was a wolf. The wolf wrapped around this 'Benjamin'.
Zach began to feel confused about the meaning of this painting. What did Mokawi want to express
"I can only draw based on my impressions from two days ago." Mokawei said in a helpless tone, but with a smile on his face, "I was so happy chatting with Benjamin that I forgot about it." Looking at 'Benjamin' in front of him, "But there is someone here who can help me draw better~" What a willful request.
Zach was not ready to continue to speculate on Mokawei's thoughts. He glanced at 'Benjamin' and pursed his lips. He might as well ask Fitz for a leave. Anyway, he was not the dungeon master of Grande, so James didn't have to. Don't worry, enjoy a game night.
"Please don't leave." 'Benjamin' asked for help with a terrible look on his face. This guy was already panicking and couldn't choose a way out.
Zach continued to look at him with mixed emotions, "You want two vampires to look at you in this shameful position."
'Benjamin''s face turned dark and he said no more.
"You are as smart as I remember ~ little Zack ~"
Zach bowed, saluted, and left the warehouse quickly. Staying for a second longer was painful.
"The more you get along with her, the more you get used to it." The comforter was Dora sitting on the back porch, she was talking about Mokavi, "It just takes some time, and then you get used to her completely unreasonable behavior. Pattern, learn to ignore it.”
Let me explain it first. Mokawei has finally moved to Grande, unexpectedly but not unexpectedly, living with Benjamin. The number of Novelles is too large and they cannot all come to Grande for the time being, so Dora and Bumi came. The other Nofelles are still under the ruins of the Hermann factory acquired by Smith, with Lydia's arrangement. , don’t worry about being discovered, and it’s very safe.
"We are not used to it." Bumi was demolishing Dora. "After one year, we couldn't stand it anymore and sent her to a mental hospital. Fortunately, in the middle of the country, we usually can't stay in one place for too long. So I would often transfer her to another hospital, otherwise..."
Dora's face tensed up, and she interrupted unhappily, "That's because you always skip the shifts you are supposed to take care of her! I can't follow her 24 hours a day! I need to rest!"
"I'm younger than you." Bumi curled her lips for a while and held back this sentence, "If you work so hard to take care of her, then this job will obviously be more difficult for me. You can't blame me."
Zach's mood suddenly improved. Zach smiled and sat down on the back porch, "I'm the youngest. But it seems like you are ready to leave this job to me, right?"
"That's right!" Bumi affirmed without hesitation, and even smiled and patted Zack on the back, "You've already gotten a big advantage, okay! She has absorbed our breath-shielding skills inexplicably, at least No longer does she look like she could kill someone at any time, haha, God help us, you still have Benjamin here, the magical Alpha. Look, I have never seen her so calm!"
"About this breath-shielding technique." Zach suddenly thought of something, touched his chin, and wandered his eyes casually while thinking, "This is really lucky. Sure enough, it is a universal ability for vampires, not a clan's innate ability... "
Because Zach turned away his eyes while thinking and talking, he ignored the instantaneous changes in the expressions of Dora and Bumi beside him, and became relaxed after Zach did not mention anyone in particular.
"Mokavi's ability has changed twice in the past two days, but the ability to shield the breath has always been there and has not disappeared with the change of ability. Can you understand what this means?" Zach finished thinking and telling. , smiled and looked at the two Nofil who were listening to him attentively. It feels so good, Zach goes back to what he once missed.
"Are you asking us to think? We, Nophele, are not known for our intelligence." Bumi waved her hand, looking thoughtful, and asked a small digression, "Is it Lesembula?"
"Ahem." Zach returned his attention to himself, "This means that this ability is the same as walking in the sun." Zach glanced at the sunset in the west, "Once you learn it, it is no longer an ability. It's just knowledge and instinct." Zach looked back at Dora and Bumi, raised his finger, "Look." He took out a mirror from his pocket and stood in front of him. Zach, Dora, and Bumi looked at it together In the mirror, Zach's face and two pairs of red dots were seen, "Look, it's like common sense as it should be. I didn't deliberately create the image, the image just appeared..."
"Zach! How did you do that!"
Zach's vanity was greatly satisfied. These things worthy of a vampire showing off, Zach must show off, "Oh, this, I forgot to tell you, the saint gave it to me, her last name, Yesil represents this, 'what you see is what you get', I can be imaged in the mirror and take pictures, and my attribute in this world is what I am now."
Remember, the definition of a vampire in the Holy Lord's faith is a rotten soul that has been punished and cannot continue to move forward in faith. Therefore, vampires cannot be imaged. Their essence - corrupt souls, is something that should not exist in this world, so it is blocked by the laws of the world.
Everyone thinks that the surname given to Zach by Saint Sissy is just a simple image, no. Just as being able to move in the sun is a qualitative change for vampires, so is what 'Yehir' represents. Zach just made it clear, 'What you see is what you get'.
"Your soul..." Dora's face was more surprised.
"Still in the process of slow decay." Zach curled his lips, "Sometimes I can feel it." He said indifferently, "Just like the full moon cycle that just passed, when Benjamin used that spice, he smelled that The aroma that stimulates the growth of the band, I can feel that it is still there, squirming pointlessly." Yes, Zach used squirming to describe his own soul, "But, it is a useless thing, moving That’s it. The Saint gave me this surname. Now the attributes of my existence are not originally defined by the Holy Lord’s faith. This feels more clear than the surname that gave me the ability to travel by day. I feel very good. good."
Remember, this is a conversation between vampires, an act that Zack once couldn't do in Grande.
"Saint, that Sissi?" Dora and Bumi looked at each other, "The girl with Gangro."
Zach nodded and waved, "And there are angels. Jimmy, come here."
The angel obediently fell from the air, swung around in a circle, then flew up again and disappeared. Don't worry about him. There are many guys in Grande who have absolute restraint on soul aliens. This guy is scared. In contrast, Grande, another soul alien, is calm... not calm, but not afraid at all, but seems to be happy about something all the time - Ryan. He always glanced back and forth at Zach and the two Nofils with a sinister smile that made people not want to see him again. If Louise was there, he would also join Louise. But Ryan doesn't care what he does, he is just Grand Air, and Zach's focus will never fall on him unless there are special circumstances. Is there any special situation now? No, everything is calm in Grandry, and the three old vampire friends are chatting.
"Thomas also got this surname." Zach explained, raising his eyebrows at Dora and Bumi, "I got this surname through trading, and in retrospect, it wasn't too difficult. I think I can give it to you again. Got it.”
"Uh..." Dora's eyes that were originally full of determination turned into confusion, "If you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense for us, Nophele, to have this last name." She glanced at Bumi, "We don't look in the mirror. I don’t want to see what I look like at all, let alone take pictures in the open.”
Zach blinked, lowered his head and was quiet for a while. When he looked up again, he smiled, mocking himself, "Sure enough, a century is too long. I am so unfamiliar that I have begun to forget the characteristics of my friends in the alliance." Feiler is a clan that manipulates shadows without letting others see them. What you see is what you get, so what's the point.
"Haha, you will become proficient again." Bumi smiled, "It's already a small alliance, me, you, Rimel, Gangro, four clans." He didn't know why, but he hoped that Tone, repeated again, "It's already a minor league~"
There's nothing more to say, Bumi, 'lost' Mokavi. (.)
