18 Vampire Punishments and Rewards
"Uh, Tam, you don't have to dangle next to me. www.biquge.info"Zach is driving Tam, who is in the way, "You want to be the last one to tell me what you were taken by Papa at Midnight, yes, I'm okay." A little disgusted wave of his hand, meaning to go away!
Zach was getting down to business - helping Benjamin rock the hammock while asking him what he and Sem had been talking about all morning. As a result, Sam is now afraid to approach Benjamin at all, and has to follow Louise to play a real employee of the Grande Funeral Home, dealing with the staff from the Allen Funeral Home.
"Do you see those 'puppy eyes'? Benjamin, enjoying the sunshine, squinted his eyes in the direction of the back porch. Inside the stairwell door, behind the shadows of the sun's oblique side, a pair of eyes were looking this way, "You have other things to worry about. One leg put down the hammock, making Zach's shaking useless, "Disturb - others go." β
Fortunately, Benjamin didn't let his disgusted expression be too explicit, and Zach felt that he could rely on it for a while......
Zach glanced at Charlie's 'puppy eyes', kicked Benjamin's leg away, and continued to shake, "I told you, I don't like Bruch." β
"Nope. Benjamin was quick to respond, "And I don't care." β
"You know that as a race that can easily cause the outrage of the whole world, the vampire ......" Zach retracted his gaze and pointed to himself, "After all, we live on the blood of other creatures and live forever. You won't find a more reason to provoke public outrage than that. β
Benjamin glanced at Zack, "You're pretty self-aware, but trust me, if you cause public outrage one day, it's definitely not because of your eating habits." "Yes, Benjamin is beginning to master the ultimate art of languageβmockery.
Still, Benjamin was responding, and Zach was not in a hurry to leave immediately, and continued to confess, "Most of the vampires of the Thirteen Clans have ways to avoid disputes and reduce the possibility of our race pulling hatred, which is the reason why vampires can continue." β
"Oh, yes, it turns out that it's not about fighting for class status and occupying the upper echelons of society. Benjamin had already rolled over and spoke to Zach with his ass. But after only two seconds, Benjamin turned over with an uncomfortable face and turned his face at Zack - presumably Benjamin began to have a shadow on his back to Zack.
"That's the result, at least the work of the Secret, the Feast, or the vampires of the sooner. Zach pretended not to know the reason for Benjamin's small move, too embarrassed, "After all, the Holy Lord gave us an advantage when he created us, and also gave us too obvious a disadvantage, look at him." Zach looked in Charlie's direction again and shook his head, "Can you believe that we all lived like that before we came to the Federation?" Hide in the shadows. β
"Tsk. Benjamin tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I don't know about you, but once when I was still a wolf pack, I often met foreign vampires who didn't walk in the daytime, and they didn't see how bad they were......" Benjamin shut up himself, not knowing which point in his words made his face start to look ugly.
Zach waved his hand, "I'm saying I don't like Bruch. β
"Yes, you don't like Bruch. β
This is the fact that both of them agreed not to continue to expand on the direction that might have been covered in the topic just now, and to focus on the main topic. Zach is more caring.
"They don't have the ability to steer clear of disputes. Zach shook his head again, still looking in Charlie's direction, and the eyes that were looking back a little. Oh, and our vampires and alphas know very well that their conversations can be heard by the other party, "They don't have Nophil's hidden powers, they don't have the avoidance consciousness that Gangaro has, they don't have at least half of their humanity without Remer, and of course, they don't have Toledo's...... You know. Bruch's only ability is to escalate the dispute into an irreparable situation. "Fighting.
"Hmph, so they're soldiers who only know force, and that's not what you colonists need. β
"But I still lost the colonial war. "Do you think that the peace brought about by the independence of the Federation is due to Bruch?" β
"Look, the reason for your outrage is definitely not 'food'. Benjamin naturally thought that Zach was going to show off Toledo's important role in the creation of the Federation.
But Zach really wasn't ready to show off, "The only role that Bruch provides in the peace of the Federation is that they follow Van Zhuo, who has the least number of the thirteen clans and can't afford to continue to consume the Demon Feast. β
Benjamin raised his eyebrows at this time, this was a vampire historical secret that he couldn't have known, "Are you saying that the key reason for the truce between the Secret Alliance and the Demon Feast is that Bruch, the strongest of the thirteen clans, belongs to the Secret Alliance?"
Zach moved the corners of his mouth, "The key reason is that Van Zhuo chose Toledo between Toredo's eyes and Lesenbra's blood. β
Benjamin tilted his head, and a smile curled into the corner of his mouth, "Oh, secret, heh, Toredo pulled the blood nobles among your vampires, and this nobleman brought a bunch of soldiers, hehehe......" This omitted part is three centuries later, the nobles won by Toredo took the soldiers to kill Toredo, and led the Secret Alliance to the point of republican survival.
Retribution.
"I'm saying, I don't like Bruch. Zach was back to the point.
"Hehe, yes, you're talking about that. "One more consensus. Benjamin is also very caring~
Zach pursed his lips and shook his head, "Nozhen got me in trouble. "It's not really the kind of trouble that is contradictory, it's the diaphragm. Whether it's Zach's opinion on Bruch's way of life, or Bruch's old grudge against Toredo.
"Huh. Probably because the topic completely shifted from what Benjamin didn't want to answer to Zack's unhappiness, Benjamin was in a good mood now, "Relax, didn't Nuo ask for that, and besides, he's not Bruch, look at him, he's a foreigner." It could just be an unfortunate tragedy that happened at the wrong time and place. If anyone can help him, it's you. β
Finally, he said something to make Zach comfortable. Zach glanced at Benjamin, looking at the thickest part of the meat, everyone knows where, came to a slap, it can be regarded as childish revenge, "I don't bother you, but you know if I ask Sem, he has to answer, right." β
Benjamin instantly twisted his face and turned over, "Whatever you want." β
Zach walked to the back porch. The eyes hiding in the shadows blinked, and began to float around in confusion.
Directly past Charlie's body in the shadows, Zach listened to the voices in the exhibition hall and on the second floor.
The elder Hank of Semga was in the showroom talking to Allen's staff about the coffin offer, and Louise was in the office, dealing with the relatives of the deceased who had come to choose the cemetery. The first cooperation between the two funeral homes did not go very smoothly, and both bosses deliberately avoided contact under the influence of legal and personal grievances.
May this funeral give the deceased a peaceful rest.
Zach walked straight to the basement, "Keep up." β
Charlie leaned against the wall and followed, "I've only been a vampire for five years, and it was an accident. "If it weren't for other kind seniors telling me, I wouldn't have known I belonged to Bruch...... "This is trying to tell Zach that you don't like Bruch, and I'm pretty much the same."
Zach didn't reply, and after entering the basement, he pointed to the stone platform, "Lie down." β
Charlie was obedient, but didn't seem ready to shut up, "I've been living underground, working for a shapeshifter, I'm fast, I'm strong! I can do many things......"
Zach ripped off the guy's shirt and looked at a soft white flower - it's time to talk about Charlie's size, he has a fairly broad skeleton, but he doesn't have the muscles to match this skeleton. As Mo said, he didn't look like a fighting clan should be.
Zach began rummaging through the basement. Once upon a time, things in the basement were easy to find, but after being cleaned up by Louise and Alice, Zach wasn't quite sure where he was looking for.
"Uh......" Charlie, who was lying on the stone platform with his chest open, seemed nervous, his eyes followed Zach who was looking around, "He, they say, after becoming Toredo, I, I may not feel as fast and strong as before, but, but I can control other people's thoughts by looking at others......"
Zach interrupted as he rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the corner, "They're wrong, you're going to feel faster and stronger, my bloodline is more than a dozen generations higher than what you have now." Looking back at Charlie, whose face began to appear delighted, "But if you casually, hum, 'look' at people, I'll personally gouge out your eyeballs." β
It's time to test Charlie's spirit.
"Uh...... Belch...... That's right!"Not bad~" Vampires are the easiest race to pull hatred! I can't just pull hatred for myself!"
Zach nodded with satisfaction, yes, Charlie still has the potential to tease-teach, and he lives up to Zach's ridicule by Benjamin a few times. Zach is actually a good elder, if you can adapt to his weird way of upbringing......
Zach continued to look for what he was looking for.
"En......" should understand Charlie's feelings, if you are also lying on the vampire's stone platform - it turns out that it is still the stone platform of the funeral home where the corpse is groomed, and you dare not move, you will also make a little noise, "En...... You, can you tell me, give me a last name, well, what does it look like? I, I'm a little nervous......"
"It used to be a means of punishment for the Thirteen Clans. Zach continued to look for what he was looking for, and replied that there was already a previous historical background, so there was no need to foreshadow anything, "Before the colonists came to the continent of the Federation, there was a cleanup within the Thirteen Clans. β
Zach frowned, for no serious reason, he simply found a piece of unfinished doll that Sem had placed in the basement. Sem reclaimed the puppet that represented his life and said he would find a new way to show his loyalty, but it seemed that the guy's imagination was too poor.
Zach put the unfinished doll back in its place, and decided that he couldn't let Sam use the basement as a 'base' for witchcraft, and that he had to live in the living quarters, which Zack didn't want to see.
"Some members of the Thirteen Clans who were unwilling to accept the Holy Lord's call were expelled. Zach continued, "And the way to expel them is to strip them of their surnames, and to carry them with them, to deprive them of the gift of the Lordβtheir ability to walk in the sun. β
"Surname, surname can be deprived of ......"
It's very simple psychology - when you're about to get something, you're told that you might be deprived of it. Charlie squirmed on the stone platform.
"Yes. But to be more precise, it is to be replaced, to replace the surname of the thirteen clans with the surname of the lowly blood outside the thirteen clans. Zach paused for a moment and looked at Charlie, who was nervous all over the stone platform, "You have now understood that the surname and the bloodline are one, and replacing the surname also means replacing the bloodline." Give the surname, too. β
Without waiting for Charlie to answer, Zach continued to search, and also continued, "Then, the Thirteen Clans came to this continent and the Federation was established, which became the way for the Thirteen Clans to control foreign vampires. This is related to the past that Zach had told Louise, "Whether it is the Secret Alliance or the Demon Feast, we will no longer continue to hunt and kill the scattered foreign clans that may ruin the reputation of vampires, we will give them a little hope, they will be rewarded for their good performance, they will become real members of the Thirteen Clans, and they will get a surname." β
Charlie stared at the ceiling on the stone platform, and actually blinked, with a smile on his face, which was self-deprecating. Noh was right, this guy was very positive - "Oh, I, I'm probably too young to catch up with that 'good' time, but, but it's good now, No, you are a very good person......"
Zach glanced at Charlie and continued, "But a foreign race is a foreign race after all, and there are various reasons for becoming a vampire, but it will definitely not be a 'chosen inheritance object', as you said, it is an accidental product. Whether it was a secret or a magic feast, he was not prepared to wronged his bloodline, so he was later given a surname. β
Zach had already searched through the lockers on three walls, frowning and walking to the last one, "The foreign race is the object of selection, the alliance re-evaluates which clan is suitable for the foreign vampire, if you are lucky, you will be selected, and the last vampire at that time will perform the ritual of giving a surname and officially receive the descendants." β
"Ritual, ritual ......"
"Of course, just like when a vampire is born and receives the blood of a vampire, you will experience the moment of death again......"
Before Zach finished speaking, the phantom man's colored light penetrated into the basement, "There are aliens coming, and I feel at the door that there are too many humans here and don't want to come in." β
"Let them come to the basement. Zach subconsciously touched his pocket and confirmed that the list of aliens and the pen were on his body, and this second wave of Patton aliens was still a little slow. But Zach has nothing to complain about, before the phantom disappears, "Danny, ask Louise where she put the things that Hank had sealed Ian before. β
Seal Ian?Do you remember that Ian was dug out of the graveyard with a metal cone firmly tied up and stuck in his chest. Zach was looking for this.
Danny, who deliberately gathered the human figure for an unknown reason, glanced at Charlie, who was lying on the stone platform and staring, nodded, "Oh." "Gone.
Zach simply didn't look for it, waiting for a reply. Carrying two empty cans to Charlie's side, "Do you want to leave some of your Bruch's blood as a memento?" Zach shook the empty cans in his hand.
Like what, I want to think about it, by the way, before you have surgery, the doctor asks you, "Hey, do you want to put up the tumor that I cut off as a souvenir?" Hehe, after all, when I finish the operation, this tumor will be cut clean by me, and there will be no more~" That's why I want to commemorate it, isn't it?
Charlie looked at Zach and blinked, "Me, my blood?"
"Didn't you listen carefully, I said that I was going to change my bloodline. "I just thought this guy was tweak-teachable, hey, Zach shouldn't have any expectations. (To be continued.) )
