It's night, and Zach hasn't come back yet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Louise held the earpiece in the office and reluctantly repeated the words countless times, "Mr. Quest, I know you're in a hurry, but Zach is dealing with it, don't call to urge." ”

"No!no!!!" said with great emphasis, "I need that disgusting destruction to stop!I've got a new shipment coming over tonight!food!imported from the Republic!I can't accept once my goods are buried under the ashes!!I've paid you!...... complete my commission."

Smack, Louise hung up the phone. Can't communicate with this Quest.

Louise looked at the phone ringing, rolled her eyes, and replaced the tape that was already full in the answering machine - did you think Louise wanted to answer Quest's call? Of course not, she didn't want this guy to continue to take up the message.

Louise was a little speechless as she watched as the tape she had just changed began to turn after the bell rang, pouted and tore up a sticky note, pasted the tape, and wrote 'There is a message from Eve and Anthony', and placed it in the middle of her desk.

Sighing, he continued to write in small print, 'And Quest urging his commission. ’

"I think Zach completely forgot about the commission. It was Ink who spoke, and Alice occupied the TV after finishing her homework, making up the video of 'Cook's Kitchen', so Ink had nothing to do, and accompanied Louise to sort out some official business, and was carrying a suitcase at this time, shaking her head to look at Louise, "The cash that Quest sent yesterday is still here, and he hasn't touched it." ”

"Forget it, forget it. Louise waved her hand, "He doesn't like Quest anyway, and this commission is boring." ”

Ink blinked, opened his suitcase, and smiled at Louise as he felt for two stacks and stuffed them into his pocket.

Louise was amused, "Ink, you're funny, do you need money, you can conjure anything you want." ”

"Grande never paid me ~ this is what I deserve ~ "

"Well, that's a reminder to me. Louise began to rummage through the drawer for documents, "You weren't identified when Grande first submitted the financial review requested by the City. So, there is no such thing as you in the financial report, and now that you have an identity, I should add you to it, so as not to have trouble in the future......" I found it, and after opening the heavy financial documents, I fell into confusion, "What should be your salary? How much should Grande pay you?" After all, strictly speaking, you can only be regarded as a resident nanny, cooking, cleaning or something......

Mo also raised his eyebrows, not minding that he was called a nanny, but floated to Louise's side, flipping through Grande's accounts, "How much does Zach pay you?"

Louise blinked, flipped for a long time, and then reported a number.

This behavior was complained about by Mo, "Louise, don't you even know your salary?" ”

"Uh...... I didn't really get paid. I didn't have much to spend when I came to Grande, and Zach paid for it, so now, I don't have anything to spend......" Louise raised an eyebrow, "Should I make up my salary?"

"Absolutely!" Mo had already pushed the checkbook directly in front of Louise, and the pen was also put in Louise's hand, "Payday~" looked very happy, "I guess Danny didn't receive a salary either, and sent it together~ I'll go tell him the good news~ Give it to me, well, don't overtake Matthew~" floated away.

Louise smiled wordlessly and began to pay Grande's interracial salary. Of course, the signature of 'Zachary Grande', Louise has long been practicing it~

Ink, Danny, Louise herself, signed checks into the envelope. Louise raised her eyebrows suddenly, tilted her head, flipped back to the accounts, and made up for Sem after adding Mo's salary expenses. I almost missed this guy, and as for the amount of salary, this Louise counts, refer to Matthew...... No, just yourself. You know, Sam is Zack's wizard.

Looking at the two soul aliens floating in, Mo naturally happily looked at his salary envelope, but the phantom Danny looked speechless, "What do I want all this money for?"

"Buy a gift for your teenage friend?" suggested Louise casually, "Isn't he going to Newton?" and got up and walked out of the office with a check belonging to Seim.

There are two lights in the new living area, employee Bane's home, and then Sem.

In a moment, Louise was standing at the door of Sam's house, the wizard who had owned a family-style apartment.

"Come in. Sam made an invitation after knocking on the door.

Louise pushed the door open and glanced at the living room, which was exactly as it had been built—Sem had added any household items, all the places that could be stored were witchcraft materials that he had brought from the basement, "What are you doing?" asked because Sem was carving something.

"Ready. Sem casually gestured to a chair, "My vampire ......" Forgive Sem's wording, it's his habit, "I'm preparing for battle, and of course I'm not idle." ”

Louise pursed her lips, sat on the old chair that was not very clean, and pushed the check over directly, "Your salary, you should buy some furniture, well, make this place more 'home'." ”

Sam raised an eyebrow, glanced at the number on the check in surprise, and smiled, "Thank you." "But don't bother with that, this is the most 'home' home I've lived to this day." He smiled and continued to carve in his hand.

Louise naturally wanted to ask, otherwise she wouldn't have sat down, "What is this?"

"Witch puppets. Naturally, Sem would have answered, or he wouldn't have sat down with Louise, "I'll leave the last work behind, and then when the Magnum Torredo arrives, I'll drip their blood." Shrugged, "I'm not good at physical control, so it's probably impossible to control the enemy's movements, but it's okay to limit it." ”

Louise gestured to Sem's hand again, a bit like a grenade, "What is this?" ”

"Fire and thunder. Sam went on to explain, "Throw it out, one word, and it will make it burn." ”

"Well, Zach wouldn't use this kind of thing. Louise pursed her lips, Torredo was afraid of fire, and so was Zack.

"It's not for Zach, it's for Mur or Danny, they need to protect themselves. Sem raised an eyebrow, "Ink probably doesn't need it." But Danny, he'll need it. I've watched him for a while, and he's never 'full' at Grande. Most of the time, Grandrie's human beings only have me, Hank, and the Bane family, to replenish his desires, and there will be Alice and Maya at night, and he has a very strong desire to protect Grande, but his combat effectiveness is almost zero. ”

Louise pursed her lips, nodded, and pointed to something like a wire loop next to the fire thunder, "It's silver." Louise felt it.

"Well, humans, you can not be affected by silver, Alice and Maya can use it, and Hank can also use it, so it can be regarded as a means of self-defense. ”

Louise continued to nod her head, and said one last word of thanks, "What about this?" The whole table, the thing that made Louise the most uncomfortable.

"Hehe, we are a funeral home, so naturally we have to make use of it. "It was some vials filled with dark red liquid. Ah, yes, the blood of the dead.

"Do you want to use this?" asked Louise, neither she nor Zach would ever touch it.

"Well, I'll use it. Sem nodded, "You may have heard of this for the first time, but wolves and wizards often use this method to restrain vampires, whether it's to avoid war, traps, or even round-ups. This stuff is very easy to use. ”

Louise shook her head, "Looking at Zach, he doesn't mean to avoid the war. ”

"That's what he's going to do. Sam waved his hand directly, "But my highest consideration is to keep him alive." Tilting his head, "If necessary, I probably might have attacked Zach with the blood of the dead." ”

"Uh...... Why?"

"Because if Zach were poisoned, Temptoredo wouldn't have risked himself being contaminated by the blood of the dead. Here is Grande, Zach can recover. ”

Louise raised an eyebrow, "Oh." "Oh? What is that! Luckily, not taken away by Sam's logic," "Well, don't do this kind of thing, Zach is going to be very angry." ”

Sem shrugged, "If I don't do this, Benjamin will do the same, and if necessary, he will also attack Zach with the wolf body, infuse the blood of the wolf body, and the effect will be the same." As long as Zack is at a disadvantage in the fight, either Benjamin or I, will act, and save Zack first. ”

Louise frowned and didn't speak.

The puppet in Sem's hand seemed to be finished, stood on the table, took out a new wooden block and began to carve, and spoke, "If I were you, I would start stockpiling blood now, the blood of the vampire Torredo, your blood." Whether it's during or after a battle, it will come in handy. As Louise nodded thoughtfully, Sam continued, "I know Zach already has a habit of stockpiling blood, and you should develop this habit too, a good habit. ”

Louise was quiet for a while, looked at her face and agreed, and looked at the new wooden block in Sem's hand, which had already been carved into a human form, which seemed to be a little different from the previous puppet, as if it was a one-piece combined carving, "This is?"

"The Bains. Sem turned the piece of wood in his hand with some smooth lines to Louise for display, pointing to the bulge on the left, "This is Bane." Moving to the bulge to the right, "This is his wife." "Fell into the middle," the child. ”

Louise blinked, already understood. Somewhat speechless, he looked at Sem, "Don't put their souls on strange things. ”

"Hehe, it won't. Sem continued to carve, "I'll hide this in their house, and if something happens that they shouldn't know, the soul will be in it for a while, and they won't feel anything." ”

Louise tugged at the corners of her mouth and could only nod, it can be regarded as the protection of this ordinary family, almost, Louise should say thank you, the salary she gave to Sem according to her own salary standard seems to be a very worthwhile decision, "Sem, I know Zach may be a little cold, but you know, this is a new beginning for you and him, vampire and wizard, he needs to adapt." Thank you ......."

Before she could finish speaking, Louise glanced at the door, "Collect something, Bane is here." ”

Sem raised an eyebrow, his fingers slicing over the intricate combination of In'an characters on the table, and in Louise's somewhat surprised gaze, a faint cyan flowed through the room, and everything related to witchcraft disappeared from view.

"Many times, wolf wizards have to deal with the 'calamity scenes' created by werewolves after they transform, which is a necessary skill. ”

After a brief explanation, Louise stopped talking, and at the same time as the knock on the door sounded, "Miss Louise, are you there?"

Actually came to find Louise, Sem shrugged, "Yes." "I opened the door.

Bane only looked at Sam's somewhat 'clear' home, and looked at Louise a little nervously, "Miss, can we talk?" motioned outside.

Louise nodded, nodded to Sem, said goodbye, and followed Bane out of Sem's house, towards the communal patio in the center of the living quarter.

"Is there anything going on?Bane?" Louise listened in the direction of Bane's house, where his wife was coaxing the children.

"Well......," Bain hesitated, "I heard that Mr. Madison brought a lady over today. ”

"West?" Louise asked, "what?"

"She told me just now......" gestured in the direction of his house, presumably his wife, "told me they talked a lot about Grande at the time......" paused, looking at Louise, as if observing the reaction.

Louise didn't feel what this conversation was for, and nodded a little puzzled, "Yes, that's a friend of Madison, who is familiar with Grande's working environment for the sake of writing." ”

"I know. Bane nodded, "She (the wife) said she had another phone call in the afternoon, and that Ms. West was interested in some of the things she had said and wanted to ask her out for another chat. "Uneasy," she agreed. ”

Louise was still puzzled, "Well, that's good." While you were working in the cemetery, your wife was spending time in Grande except when she went out to buy groceries. Louise smiled, "Honestly, Grande is quite boring, I feel like I'm just behind the counter every day, and it's nice to go out and chat with people and walk around." ”

Bane pursed his lips and looked at Louise, just watching, not speaking.

Louise began to feel embarrassed, "Bane, what's there, you just say it." ”

"Grande is not boring. Bane spoke, and it seemed that he had made up his mind, "Funeral work, probably boring, but Grande, no. Bane shook his head, "From here we work, and in the cemetery, we can often see some good cars driving down the trail to Grande. "Instead of Highway 27, come from the dirt road on the west side," but the owners of those cars are not here to arrange funeral affairs, those cars come, those cars go. Not only our employees, but also the security guards can see it clearly, and sometimes they can recognize some of the cars, after all, they are security guards who have seen big scenes. Those cars, there are big people in the West District, and there are big people in the North District. And every time, Mr. Hank, who often comes to the cemetery to talk to us, looks irritated when he sees such a car,"

Louise opened her mouth, it was so obvious.

Bane didn't finish, "After living here, I can see it more clearly, I don't mean to say anything bad, but I know that the funeral work is basically left to you and Matthew." Mr. Grande did not come to Grande for funeral work, and there was only one point for the funeral, and all kinds of people would come to Grande, and sometimes they stayed at Grande all night, not knowing what they were here for. There are also the police, and even today's North District Police Chief, everyone has read the newspaper some time ago, and everyone can recognize it. Miss Louise, I know, I'm sure, Grande is not boring at all. ”

Louise could only nod her head, "What do you want to say, Bane." "There is a little red in the pupils, which is slowly brewing and spreading.

"I'm grateful to Grande, I may not have wanted to continue to be a Grande employee and hope for better development, but, now, I'm very, grateful for everything Grande has done for my family, this family, these employee benefits ......" Bane shook his head, "I don't want Grande to get into any trouble, and I don't want Grande to get into trouble because of my family." "It's not a turning point," I realised after passing the previous reporter, Kate, to be cautious about anything I say to anyone other than Grande. ”

The red in Louise's eyes froze, "Thank you, Bane." ”

"Well, Miss Louise, no, I should. So, I, well, I want to make sure, this Ms. West, can I trust it? If my wife says something to her, will it cause any trouble for Grande? If it will, I won't let her go, I promise. ”

The red faded, and Louise looked up with a smile, "It's okay, Ms. West is a friend of Madison, aka Grande, and it won't be a problem to talk to her." ”

Bane breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'm relieved, thank you, Miss Louise, then I won't bother." ”

"It's okay, oh, just curious, what does West want to talk to your wife about?"

"Oh, about the Allen Funeral Home, they talked about the fact that the Allen Funeral Home deliberately embarrassed us in cooperation before, it seems that Mr. Madison also mentioned that the Allen Funeral Home deliberately raised the purchase price of the mill before, so I wanted to ask in detail, saying that it was to better sort out Mr. Madison's pressure in writing. ”

"Oh. Louise raised her eyebrows, "Then, let's have a good chat...... "There is a kind of, well, a little excitement to do bad things~ (To be continued.) )
