"It's great." There is a mood called 'morning misanthropy'. Zach is in this mood now, so whatever he says should be interpreted in the opposite sense, "Wake up surrounded by plant corpses" , just what I need.”
Before I describe the situation in detail, I need to explain something to you, um, something that may disillusion some people.
Everyone probably knows a certain scene, where the hero and heroine wake up to the beauty of the morning - the dim light of the morning light caressing the scars on the skin after a fierce night... something like this. But, uh, for vampires, it's something completely different.
First of all, this is Grande's basement, and there's no glimmer of romance to be had.
Secondly, the way a vampire wakes up has nothing to do with beauty. It was the same state as in the fairy tale, where Pierrotchio was lying in the corner of the warehouse, stiff and pale.
In the end, there were no traces of a night of lingering. After regaining consciousness, I felt that none of the parts in my body belonged to me. Together with the person next to me who felt the same way, they rubbed their faces and swung their limbs, hoping to quickly regain their lives. the feeling of things.
When Louise was not a vampire, she would still be keen on waking up the corpse-like Zack in the early morning, and complete this 'magical' activity with a strange, er, curious and unknown mentality. Now, it's just two 'magical' corpses, transformed back into a living person together. Just like when you open your eyes every day, each other needs to take a full breath of the other's breath that has been fermented overnight...
So, the misanthropy of the morning.
What escalated this bad mood was the 'plant corpse' in Zach's mouth.
"This is not a plant corpse." Sam curled his lips, "This is dried soul-inducing grass seeds."
Louise's face was still a little stiff, and she looked at Zach unable to interpret her emotions correctly. At the same time, she awkwardly put on her coat. Fortunately, all she needed to put on was her coat. Otherwise, the first blood of the vampire couple when they woke up might be from the wizard who 'consciously' appeared in the basement at this time.
Zach's movements were not very flexible. He stiffly helped Louise zip up and sent her out of the basement. His still somewhat dilated pupils turned to Sam, "If you get so close to me next time when I'm sleeping, I won't I will ensure that I won’t do anything that you will regret.”
This was originally a threat related to the nature of the vampire race (vampires in the sleeping state are the most vulnerable), but due to the interference of the genital organs and the lack of recovery of facial functions, it became too serious for people to take seriously.
Fortunately, Sam took it seriously, but said what he said was not pleasant to the ear, "I am your wizard. If anyone can get close to you while you are 'sleeping', it is me."
Zach couldn't refute, he could only continue to rub his face to make the blood flow faster, "Yesterday, this is what you gained? Where did you get it?"
If Zach remembered correctly, soul-attracting grass seeds were scarce in Barton and could only be found at Sibella's. As soon as he asked this question, Zach already had a bad premonition.
Without being directly proven, Sam waved his hands, "It doesn't matter where it comes from. What matters is that I have resources now."
The twitching in the corners of his eyes indicated that Zach's face had regained its function. Zach glanced at the plants on the ground... Well, for vampires, plant corpses could not all be dried soul-inducing grass seeds, "What are these?" "
"Some other materials."
"Why put it here?" Zach is still in the questioning stage. Only when he fully understands the situation can he, uh, fight back? It doesn’t seem right either…
"This is your basement, isn't it? I think my things should be placed here. After all, these herbal resources are as important to me as the blood is to you. They are all things that support our strength."
Blood versus vampires, witchcraft materials versus wizards.
Zach opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, turned around and left. He didn't want to say something inappropriate when he was in a bad mood.
Seeing the first ray of morning light, Zach's vampire-like breathing, feeling the complete return of vitality in his body, he turned to the kitchen. Early in the morning is Grande's busiest time now - breakfast needs to be fixed before Alice goes to school. Louise is already helping inside, and it’s worth mentioning that Benjamin is also there. I’d better mention that. Benjamin didn’t come home last night. The only reason why he’s helping in the kitchen now is—
"Mokavi didn't like the nursing home meals."
"So, is this the only thing you care about now? It's so thoughtful." In fact, Benjamin was kind enough to explain to Zach, and Zach almost burst into tears of gratitude. Zach's misanthropy hasn't gone away, maybe a little more.
"Hehehe." Benjamin said without realizing it, "It is impossible for a painting to do such a thoughtful gesture, hehehe..."
Zach didn't want to stay in the kitchen anymore, and turned around to go to the office. It happened that he was not completely free to sit down. The first moment he opened his eyes, Dora didn't show up. She told him about the situation in Port Massa last night, and Zach had every reason to call to inquire. Where to call? Call Sibella! Nofeil's allies, the people who just arranged a new settlement for Nofeil yesterday, right
As soon as I entered the office, I saw a thick envelope on the table. Old Hank should have brought it back casually from the newspaper.
Zach glanced, raised his eyebrows and pressed the summoning bell, "Mo!"
It was from identity merchant Steve Walker, and all Zach could think of was Mo's identity.
The ink is very ink-stained, on purpose.
Zach had already read all the life experiences of Mo in the envelope before Mo came in with his lips curled up and said, "What are you doing!" in an unhappy tone.
Zach glanced at him and said, "Don't be angry at me, I hate him too." You don't need to read this sentence backwards, Zach is talking about Sam. These are inappropriate words spoken under typical emotions. How can people hate someone who entrusts their life to them? This is the truth... No, it makes sense.
But it was exactly what Mo wanted to hear. With a roll of his eyes and a curl of his lips, he took over her new identity, "Then why do you still keep him!"
Why do all the 'people' in Grande, except old Hank, still stay here. So there is no answer to this question.
Zach also held a note in his hand, also in the envelope, but it was not for Mo, it was from Steve to Zach.
Mo glanced at the proof of his legal status in the federation, and leaned over to look at it with Zach—
'Hi Zach:
what happens? ! Why did Sibella suddenly summon us again? To you, yes, you! Very specific to you! A blocking order was issued? … '
Zach and Mo blinked together, blocked
'Dude! What did you do again! I didn’t attend the ** bar party yesterday either! '
Yesterday I had an in-depth adult conversation with Louise, so...
'Well! I think Sibella is serious this time! Uh, originally I didn't want to care about how she described you, but, uh... you yourself said Sibella was right last time! I'm so confused! '
It was just a note, and Steve used vulgar words, but it allowed Zach to fully feel the other person's emotions. Zach actually felt like he had brought it upon himself again. Remember, Zach was the guy who made Steve realize that he should take Sibera's Indian rally seriously. As a result, this stone was now clearly aimed at Zach himself.
'Well! I originally wanted to deliver this to you in person, but now I have no choice. Please be more careful! Now the entire Indian community has a very bad impression of you and Grande! I, uh, better pay attention anyway!
Steve. '
"Uh..." The first person to comment was Mo, who was watching from the side. "This is really strange~" he tilted his head.
Zach pursed his lips. The 'plant carcasses' in the basement were not easily forgotten. The corners of Zach's eyes began to twitch unconsciously. He rubbed the note and rang the summoning bell again, "Sam!"
Mo raised his eyebrows and withdrew automatically, without hiding the joy under his eyebrows.
The world-weariness became a little more serious, and Zach patted the summoning bell impatiently, "Sem!"
There was no movement of anyone coming up. "Sam!"
Dots of colorful light began to shine through the floor, but this time Danny the Phantom didn't have time to speak.
"Sem is out!" Grande said, Ryan actually appeared in the office, with excitement on his face, "I used some kind of witchcraft! Phew! Gone!"
The colorful light sank back to the ground and disappeared. What the phantom man wanted to say has been said. Ryan was still in the office, his transparent body suspended in front of Zach, dancing, "He is very powerful! I have never seen my mother use witchcraft so easily!!"
very nice.
Zach pursed his lips, good news? Zack's wizard is powerful, bad news? Sam is very powerful!
Zach didn't even think about it, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to Ryan's completely nervous excitement. This guy was hopeless. Straight out of the office, now is Zach's chance. Zach needs to know the reason-the reason why Benjamin supports Sam!
Thinking about this problem now, it directly led to Sam becoming Zack's wizard, wasn't it Benjamin's encouragement from the side! Plus Benjamin was unabashedly supportive of Sam at that previous lunch! Zach needs to know why! Only then can you think carefully about the future direction of getting along with this wizard of yours!
"Benjamin, we need to talk." Zach spoke at the door of the restaurant. Alice had not yet left home. It is common sense for 'parents' to avoid their children when discussing serious issues, right
Benjamin originally had an indifferent attitude, but he saw Zach's serious look from the corner of his eye. He curled his lips and told Mo, "Don't add any seasonings, and don't cook it. The rawer, the better." This was what he gave to Moka. The food prepared by Wei is right, so it's a blood product, don't treat it by normal standards.
"Well, you look so serious." Benjamin still didn't look too serious. Zach didn't even say a word and ran to lie down in the hammock.
Zach didn't sit by and help shake the bed like his usual 'brother' routine, "I need to know the reason why you want Grande to have a wizard."
"I hope there is a wizard in Grande?" I don't know if it was intentional, but Benjamin repeated Zach's question with a puzzled look on his face.
"Could it be." Zach frowned, without any unnecessary twists and turns, "You just want me to have a wizard?"
Benjamin flattened his lips and tilted his lips, the meaning of which was unclear.
Zach's eyebrows frowned a little tighter. Others may not understand the meaning of Alpha's expression, but Zach understood. This was Benjamin's expression that Zach's way of asking the question was wrong. Zack slowly asked his question again, "You hope, I have, Sam."
Can you feel that Zach's question three times is a continuous and specific process
Being so specific, Benjamin answered, "Yes."
"Why." Zach sat down next to him, watching Benjamin's performance and deciding whether to make a decision.
"Samuel..." Benjamin's first sentence is the key point.
Zach directly intercepted, "Did I tell you his name is Samuel, is Sam just the abbreviation?" At the same time, Zach was really recalling the conversation between him and Benjamin when he mentioned Sam.
But there's no need for Zach to recall.
Benjamin: "I chose this name." The pause was to give Zach time to react, and he had a half-hearted smile. "You always like to tell stories about your past history at inexplicable moments. So, what do you think about other things? As for people, haha, they have no past and are suddenly here."
Zach frowned, "We have told each other about the past history, and I thought we had a consensus. It's so insignificant that it goes without saying." The insignificant here, if you really want to examine it, I'm afraid it's not insignificant at all. , but try to understand - if these things are not the things that lead to the vampire and the alpha living in the same room, in this context, in the conversation between these two people, it really doesn't matter. Can you understand...
Benjamin smiled a little more easily this time, and wanted to speak frankly, "Honestly, I never thought I would see him again. In my memory, he was still a baby. But the witchcraft blood in his body, ha, I Not forgotten. That's the wizarding blood that served me, no, the pack before me."
Zach pursed his lips, surprised but not surprised. After all, when he first came into contact with Sam, he clearly felt that he came to Grande for Benjamin, to search for Alpha across half of the federation. Such a thing, if Without a reason to persist, Zach didn't think a normal person could do it.
"I wasn't Alpha yet." Benjamin glanced at Zach, knowing that if he didn't take the initiative to say it, Zach would ask questions, so he saved everyone the trouble, "My Alpha looked at him, Samuel was born , and then disappointed and angry... "
The confusion just appeared on Zach's face.
"Because he is a boy, that means his lineage cannot continue."
What? ! Because he is a boy, the bloodline cannot continue? !
"Men are always possessive and aggressive in nature. When the wolves possess a wizard, no, a wizard bloodline that can be continued, they are also protecting the only wizard bloodline that belongs to the wolf pack. If it is a girl..."
It was already understandable. Zach continued with a strange expression, "Wolves are easier to control. After all, they are wolf wizards and they also produce tools for the next generation of wizards. But if it is a boy, this bloodline, from the nature of the species, No longer of the pack.”
"Yes, men can inherit their own witchcraft family that does not belong to the wolf pack. The wolf pack can control people's will, but not nature. Nature makes every male wizard a threat to the wolf pack. You don't know how many times. Years later, the wizard blood around you will already have a family outside that can compete with the wolves. If you are in a wolf pack with extremely possessive desires, like me, you will be the wizard of the wolf pack and give birth to a boy. In an instant, you know the fate of this child, death. Unless, some werewolf who hates all this resists."
Finally, is Benjamin revealing his reasons for becoming Alpha and why he insists on not being a wizard? Maybe.
After a moment of silence, Zach said two words, "Sorry."
Sorry for what? Have you not forgotten how the relationship between wizards and werewolves became what it is now, with possession or counter-possession? It was Toledo and Zac who, at the beginning of the establishment of the Federation, in order to alienate the former wizard and the famous people in their family. A werewolf for a loved one.
Benjamin waved his hand, "Tell it to yourself, you sow the cause, and now you bear the consequences yourself. Samuel is your wizard." (.)
