Benjamin raised an eyebrow as he watched Zach come in with a 'hanger' - because in Benjamin's understanding, the mannequin was a hanger with his dirty coat.
"Benjamin, meet Zagger. Zach put the model in front of Benjamin.
Benjamin's gaze crossed, at Zach, and back at the model in his dirty coat. The corner of his eye bent, "This is another you?!" picked up Zagger's face, swayed from side to side, and pulled the entire model pedestal, "Ha! I really didn't expect it!"
"Me too. Zagger spoke, his face wrapped in Benjamin's palm, "Although Zach has already made up for me how you two encountered on the battlefield. But, I still didn't expect that you, well, like this. β
Benjamin was rubbing Zagger's wooden cheeks, and it didn't do anything but rub Alpha's fingerprints on the painted face. I can't knead the flowers. It's a far cry from the real Zach and Benjamin encounter, where two hostile races are weighing each other's attacks on the battlefield amid stray bullets and explosions on the battlefield.
"Hah! nothing~" Benjamin already bent his eyes with a smile, "I'm just helping Louise ......" The inexplicable automatic silence became, becoming, "Hehehe." Now I'm sure!" he patted Zagger on the shoulder sharply, "hehe." Then, inexplicably, he patted Zach on the shoulder, "Hehe!"
Zach completely misunderstood Benjamin's 'hehe', and was actually surprised, "Louise asked about Zagger?Is she looking forward to seeing Zagger?" Raised his eyebrows at Zagger, making people speechless self-righteousness, "I told you~Louise will like you~"
Zager rolled his eyes if he could.
Benjamin smiled and clapped his hands, squinting at Zach - Benjamin found a rare thing that Zack overlooked, please let Benjamin enjoy this snickering, "They will like each other, hehe, you, hehe, will like each other, hehehe." β
Zach is still self-righteous, "Of course, we will like each other~"
"Yes, I like it, I like it!" Benjamin was still a little conscious, knowing that he wouldn't be able to collapse for long, and clapped his hands, "That's the end of the topic of mutual liking! Why am I here?" Benjamin's face changed quickly, and he looked at the enclosed space with a little curiosity, especially the four empty hatches in the innermost, "How much silver is in here?" makes me uncomfortable. β
Zach used Oz's answer, "Kozil is rich. Shrugging, "Just give us a safe place to talk." β
"Safe?" Benjamin continued to look at the silver-infused room, but looked disapproving, "I don't think it's safe to have a silver room. There's nothing safe in Barton right now. β
"How?"
"Last night. "Benjamin got into the question very quickly, and one of the reasons they couldn't talk here for too long, knowing that the people they came up to, the eight vampires of the Feast would be suspicious -- well, they would be suspicious anyway, because Zack's attitude was so obvious, 'I'm just going to talk to Benjamin alone, I don't want to go 8-on-1'.
It's a scoundrel, isn't it, but based on the foreshadowing, enough has been done, and those words at the fitting rally have made the consensus have been beaten down - the cauldron that Zach will favor the 'brother' Alpha has been taken away by Mokave's bigger cauldron, and it doesn't matter if Zach is a scoundrel now, anyway, the Demon Banquet can't get around this pit, and as Nainard said, Zach is still the most valuable resource of the Demon Banquet in Barton, and he can only tolerate Zack doing whatever he wants.
The second reason is that Benjamin really wants to go back to the South Side as soon as possible, back to the nursing home, and someone is waiting for him in bed...... "Although only Eli Toredo appeared in front of me, the woods are full of the smell of bruch, everywhere. I can't see it, but, it's everywhere. β
Zach frowned, just because the good mood of everyone would like each other was gone, "So, he prepared an army for himself." Zach shook his head, "He's pushing his luck." β
Benjamin looked at Zach quietly for a moment, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he spoke, "What do you mean now, tell me, how much are we trying to help Eli Torrey?"
"I ......" Zach actually hesitated, looked at Zagger, shook his head, and didn't give the conversation to the other self, which is a good thing - I think everyone is starting to get tired of Zagger being Zak, Zagger thinking is Zak's thinking, now, let them separate. Zach no longer lets Zagger complete his own thoughts, good thing, "I don't know. When I came back, I thought a lot about what Louise said, and she told you. This is my last chance that I seize, or, miss forever. β
"You missed it once. Benjamin continued directly, a little impatiently, "Four centuries, that's a long time, and you really want to go back? and for what?
"I really don't want to. Zach actually said simply, "I don't want to at all." You've heard me tell that story. In that distant time, I couldn't live anymore, and then someone protected me and helped me, until my life finally started to change, and I became Toredo, and finally, I scared him away. Zach's point of view, very, realistic, "It's a, story." Mine, story. From the beginning of this story, to here, to the present, it is my life, my life, Torredo's life. So you ask me, I want to go back? No, I don't want to. I've been a Torredo for four centuries, and I don't know what I'm going to do when I go back? I'm not going to stand in front of him and go back to the way I used to be and say sorry I scared him, I'm not going to say to him like I'm familiar with him, 'Hey, it's been four centuries, and you're not dead,' because I don't remember him. There's no way I'm going to ...... him," Zach waved his hand a little irritably, "I don't expect you to understand, but that's what I really think." I don't want to. But. The corners of his eyes twitched, "He's coming." β
The atmosphere was eerie for a moment.
Zach shook his head, "He doesn't use it." "He could stay on his original continent and do what he had to do, slaughter vampires." "Remember, that's what John once described as this kind of Temp Toredoβhe said that Papa Midnight thought that Magnate Toredo was a cleaner created by the Holy Lord Faith to clean up the rampant vampire legacy, "but he didn't stay where he was, he came here, my continent, my Federation, my city." β
Benjamin looked at Zach for a moment, "He doesn't like you." β
"What?" Zach frowned.
"He told me he didn't like you. Benjamin glanced at Zagger, because it was strange, it was clearly a stiff woodwork, but there was that clear look at the gaze, "He said he never liked you, you didn't work, you didn't contribute labor, you didn't have the desire to survive, in those days." β
"What?" rarely did Zach have this kind of questioning look on his face.
"Four centuries ago. Benjamin continued, hugging his shoulders as a sign of seriousness, "Famine due to overpopulation, right, the empire either watches its people starve or opens new colonies, right?" "And you, you're the kind of guy who doesn't know where you're going." You wait for the food to be delivered to you, you wait for the surroundings to take care of your life, you never do anything for yourself. β
Zach opened his mouth, "What did he say? No, I wasn't like that! I may have been clumsy when I was human, but I'm not lazy, and I worked hard for my life......"
"You've tried. Benjamin looked at Zach, "So you're sold." Sold to Toledo. β
"What?!"
"Yes, you weren't chosen by Toredo, you were sold to Toredo, and the person who sold you was him, Eli. β
What the??!
All right. There is no better way to unfold this matter, believe me, no matter how you lay it out, no matter how you get vaccinated, it is useless. When it's revealed, that's it, it hurts? no, it's hard to look at!
"In your story, he's the benefactor who takes care of you and feeds you until you meet Toledo, right? Sorry, Zach, he's not, he just fell in your face, and it happened to be a nobleman named Toledo who likes to adopt a good-skinned, clean-backgrounded, inferior citizen as his godson. "Benjamin is holding his shoulders and his muscles arching to tell Zach, 'Don't come near me, handle your emotions yourself, don't touch anyone.'"
Zach didn't touch anyone, tilted his head, and just stood.
And the follow-up to this story is even more exciting. Benjamin looked at Zach. Hey, how to describe it, Zach asked himself, did Benjamin just ask Zack if he confirmed that he wanted to go back? How did Zack answer? Let his thoughts drift to the sky, as if to express the greatest helplessness of people's hearts, and then, it is time to let Grande's brother group play a role, Benjamin should pull Zack back from heaven at this time-
"You didn't scare him away. You, the deer hunting at night, bring him food, and admit that you are no longer human. Benjamin actually leaned in the direction of Zagger, because unexpectedly, the wooden face was the calmest at the moment, as if this was the only guy here who could receive these things calmly, "He wasn't scared away at all, he was stupid by himself." He missed, eternal life. He, with a few gold coins and a lifetime of labor, gave you, a guy he never liked, who just had a good skin, in exchange for eternal life. β
There was a long silence, "Wow~" Zach laughed, at least his face was like a smile, and his voice was like that, "And Louise actually used Russell and Charlie to persuade me...... "Uh, this one will be explained right away."
"I haven't said the story is over yet. Benjamin had already stood behind Zagger, slowly peeling off his coat, "According to what he said, you have met at least nearly half a hundred times in the original continent, before the thirteen clans gathered for the Federation. β
Zach froze for a moment, "What?" The smile was gone again.
"What are you surprised about? You've told these stories, your job before you came to the Federation was to clean up the foreign vampires who had corrupted the vampire community for the sake of the vampires' reputation. And he is a foreign vampire. β
Zach held his head down.
"Yes, he, Eli, has found his own eternal life. But he wasn't lucky, he didn't find the Thirteen Clans, he found the lowest bloodline of your vampires at the time. But he got what he wanted, and he had eternal life. And, he's got you. β
Benjamin put on his coat, "You're already Toledo's favorite son, you're a nobleman. He's, uh-huh. "You met, you, didn't look at him, because you don't remember him, he just used your Toledo gesture to tell a bunch of low-level vampires, 'Don't insult the reputation of vampires', like a real nobleman, and occasionally use a few vampires as an example, kill them, and show these inferior Eternals what true nobility is." β
Zach had noticed that Benjamin was sneaking towards the door, but he didn't seem to be willing to stop him.
Benjamin at least faced Zach backing away and pointed at Zach, "He saw you once, saw you twice, saw you three times...... "Don't guess the direction of the words," he still doesn't like you, but. β
Benjamin had retreated to the door, fumbling to open the door, "He's found out, this is your life, you're a, very good Toredo." Your life was so bad that you had to wait to be sold, just because, you are that kind of person, you don't know what life is like working hard at the bottom, you are the guy who was born in the wrong life, you should be Toledo, noble, whatever it is, from top to bottom. Your life, it should be Torredo. You're doing it perfectly, and that's what your life should be. β
The rattle of the door lock has already appeared. Zach needed a summary, "And then what." β
"One thing, Eli himself said, he was so stupid that he gave up selling the gold you got and the goods he worked to get in the moment, and he finally did the right thing and turned you into Toredo. You. The door had opened a crack, and Benjamin was slowly shrinking into it, "Stupid once, then worse, he admits that he can't remember how many inexplicable vampire bloodlines he devoured in his body because he regretted missing out on the Toredo bloodline, and he became what he is now." He was in his own continent, vampires, all began to dismiss him as a vampire, thought he was something else, maybe the Holy Lord created something to punish vampires for multipliing, I don't know, he doesn't know. He was in disarray. β
Benjamin was still looking at Zach in the door, "And you, the only thing he was sure of in the chaos of his life, a good thing, he, wanted, saw you." Make sure you're still a perfect Torredo because of him and your perfect life. You, he still doesn't like it, what he likes, it's you, this concept. The only good thing he did right, the concept. β
Benjamin's head was gone, and before the crack in the door was gone, the last words floated in, "I know you need to think, think slowly." You should rest assured, I only agreed to his coexistence agreement yesterday, and even if he comes up with anything, Grande will be safe. His other proposals were temporarily rejected by me, you still have time, think slowly. "Gone.
