Common sense is that when a prestigious general arrives in a small city of Barton, he will be greeted by a grand guard of honor. But the truth is just two people waiting at the exit of Becky Station, one Kate and one Zach.

"Isn't James coming?"

"He came, on another street, homicide. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "He's still working at this time?"

"It's time like this. Kate doesn't seem to have any trust in her fiancé, "If there are no cases, I suspect he's going to make a few." ”

Zach chuckled.

"I thought it would be the vampires who came to cut me off. Kate opened up a new topic.

"It was supposed to be theirs. Zach didn't hide, "I'm coming." ”

"Very well, if you don't want to come, I'll take a shot. ”

"Oh, how are you going to get General Lance out of the vampires of the Demon Feast?"

"The contract you gave me yesterday for Allen's acquisition of the mill had a few terms that were offset. ”

Zach was curious, "Offset what?"

"I know you haven't read the terms of sale of your mill. Kate waved her hand, "This is the agreement between the mill and Allen." In the past, Allen's funeral used the market cost to crowd out the mill, and then the two of you reached a compensation agreement, and Allen has been paying the mill's losses. In this transaction, the mill was already Allen's property, and this compensation was naturally offset. ”

"Oh. Zach nodded, "And then?"

"I can use these insider information to interview Allen's funeral~" Kate laughed, "Use the media to threaten them to hand over my future legal father." ”

"Not bad~"

Zach understands that Kate doesn't need to maintain a relationship with the Magic Feast too much, this is not to say that Kate can casually stand on the opposite side of the Magic Feast, but when Rut Lesembra uses James to expose Louise's appearance with the media, the Magic Banquet itself uses the media in modern society as a tool that can be used.

And tools, everyone understands, while acknowledging the role of a tool, we must understand its danger. Some things don't need Kate, the reporter, to threaten anything, and the magic banquet needs to be self-realised.

A large crowd of people poured out of the station, and Kate cheered up and pushed Zach, "You see fast." "It was for Zach to identify James' father in the messy crowd.

Zach saw General Lance, a group of people in civilian clothes, and Zach and Kate on this side.

Zach gestured to Kate, "You need to entertain more than just your future legal father." ”

"Of course not. Kate was a little nervous.

"The ...... of the chips for the evidence of human organs" does not need to be finished, Kate can pick it up.

"It's the same for all of them, and the final landing point is the Reims family. "Kate is very well organized.

Zach nodded, "General Narance will give it to me." ”

Zach left Kate and stood on the other side of the road.

The group of people who left the station saw that the people who were waiting for them were separated, obviously a little unclear about what was going on, but they did not stop leaving the station, General Lance said a few words to his side, and introduced his friends to Kate, who had already put on the brightest smile in his life, and walked towards Zach himself.

"See you again, Toledo. ”

"Grande or Zach. Zach made it clear first.

The other party didn't have that need, and Lance was enough to distinguish his identity from James at Patton, as long as he didn't add a general suffix to attract unnecessary attention.

"It seems that my son doesn't feel the need to pick me up at all. ”

"He's working. Zach had a plan to receive General Lance this time, leading the way to his car, "Being a detective at Patton is very busy. ”

"Where are we going now. "People who have reached a certain position tend to know the goal in everything they do, and they don't have time to waste, which is understandable.

"Meet a man from the west. ”

"Yes. "I thought it was the vampires under Rut Lesenbra who came to pick us up, but seeing that you came, I thought I was lucky not to have to fight with those vampires." It seems that there is still no way to hide. "General Lance thought Zach would take him to Allen's funeral.

"Hehehe. Zach helped General Lance collect his luggage and open the car door, "This is Barton, you need all those courtesies to vampires in the Feast, no matter who you are. ”

"That's right. General Lance sat in the passenger seat as he observed Zach.

Zach also got into the car, "As for who to meet, it's not Hamilton, I've taken your reception into my own hands, and if you want, you won't have to see them for all the time you're in Barton." ”

"That's for the best. General Lance seemed to press his chest subconsciously.

Zach noticed. In fact, Zach mentioned this matter when he first met General Lance in Vega City, ignoring General Lance's human appearance in the prime of human life and aging, his heart is a young heart-

Some group of humans in the West are abusing their organ systems to get better human parts, in order to do so? Remember, they can become better vampires in the future.

This small action of General Lance shows that certain psychology has begun to work in the hearts of the vampires of the Western Demon Feast. General Lance clearly did not want to be bothered by such problems at Patton.

However, Zach will not let go of this topic that is too worth discussing, "Those friends you just had, I can sense that something is wrong with someone's body. ”

"Do you mean xx? ”

Tsk, Zach didn't bother to remember the name.

General Lance continued, "He's just had a kidney. Uh...... doctor hospitalized him to recuperate, but he couldn't afford to leave the vampires of the West. "It's all a nossy tone.

Zach smiled and nodded, "It seems that James's wedding is very timely~"

"yes, to give our old guys a breather. ”

We've discussed before what the Demon Feast will do to the future of vampires by replacing the organs in their bodies with younger, better ones for these humans.

At that time, we also gave the example that if Lady Quinn had become a vampire a few days later, with her power and resources among humans, she would not have been trapped in an old woman's body for eternity.

Of course, in addition to such practical examples, we have also discussed a deeper meaning -

The biggest difference between the inheritance of vampires and the reproduction of humans is that vampires can choose their own descendants, and the thirteen clans have their own descendants. If you're satisfied, you're not satisfied. Humans can now change their body parts, which may not change much by the standards of Vampire Descendants...... Not to mention that Toredo's descendants choose to care a lot about appearance, Toledo is also ugly, but he is dead......

It cannot be denied that the racial face of vampires will get a revolution that was once unimaginable.

Vampires with outward regrets that they can't change after eternal life can do nothing but be jealous that this revolution happened so late.

"The vampires of the Demon Feast reacted very much to the change of organs, I thought Ruth Lesenbra had decided not to interfere with your actions. ”

General Lance was silent for a moment, "What do you say?" "It seems that I really feel a little powerless about this matter," the vampire, who is active in social activities, naturally has no opinion, and agrees with Rute Lesenbra's decision. But vampires who rarely or occasionally participate in social activities have a lot of opinions. ”

"Why?" Zach thinks this gives a better understanding of the state of society in the West.

"The age of the human being is great for the image of vampires. General Lance doesn't seem to be hiding anything from Zach either, and such a smooth conversation should be attributed to the good impression he made when he was in Vega - General Lance knew who his son James relied on in Patton, "Just use me as an example, I'm still a human now, I'm a general, I say that my influence in human society is not bad, but when I become a vampire, I can only slowly withdraw from human society with my influence." ”

It is a fact that the old will die, and the old will transfer the resources in their hands to the new generation, and the influence will withdraw, and the new influence will rise, which is the rule of human development.

Zach could guess what General Lance meant, "If you keep renewing your organs, even your appearance, the influence that should be released as you age as a human will continue to be in your own hands. ”

"Yes. General Lance nodded calmly, "For vampires who appeared on the stage of human society in the prime of life, such as Rut Lesenbra, this has no effect on him. His entire identity rotation will ensure that he always has the resources and influence. But for some of the guys who became vampires at the age of older humans, well, that's not possible. ”

Zach also nodded, "For the elderly human vampires, the human identity that can be maintained is limited, and the Demon Banquet will not invest too many resources in maintaining such an identity, and it is likely that it will only use this identity to transition the vampires of the prime age......"

I'm afraid that everyone won't understand just that, so let's give a hypothetical example to make it easier for everyone to understand.

Lady Quinin's age determines that her human identity will not last long, right, but Lady Quinin's human identity is very influential in human society. Come to think of it, if Pochi Quinn hadn't gone with Papa at midnight, Mrs. Quinin's fortune wouldn't have to be donated to charity. I can pass on the age of Pochi to continue to operate and exert influence.

Using this hypothetical example, a resource of social influence, a vampire whose human being is too old and whose identity is invalid at any time, and a vampire who is of the right age to maintain his identity. How do you get this resource into the hands of the right vampire?

As a vampire group that has been operating in the west for four centuries, Demon Banquet is very skilled in this hand. Well, the Hidden Alliance has also been played, so Zach understands it very quickly.

“...... What you're doing now deprives the vampires who don't contribute much to the feast of their only value. ”

General Lance sighed, "I have a ten-year plan, and when I finish, I won't say that I can become James's brother in human age, but it will definitely not be a generation apart, and I will be able to complete the inheritance of the Lance family's influence." What I had when I was a human being, I still have it after I became a vampire, and I don't have to let go of a single thing. ”

"Huh. Zach laughed, "Jealousy has made some people unbalanced. Zach is not afraid of offending those who are on the fringes in Mo Yan, "You and your friends can rest assured, Barton doesn't have such vampires." ”

"Not necessarily. General Lance glanced at Zach, "At least I know there's a vampire at Allen's funeral who doesn't like me continuing to dominate the military's resources." ”

Zach really didn't think about it for a while. Hamilton, they are all human beings in the prime of life, and with their current living conditions, they don't have the slightest desire to compete for resources like the Lance family.

"That Nainad Cappadocia. General Lance looked at Zack's expression and gave the answer.

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Oh~" remembered, "When James and Wes were in the army, Nainard was ordered to protect them. ”

General Lance corrected, "It's only my son who is protected, James, and Wes are only incidental. This emphasizes that there is nothing wrong with a general, and there is no need to accept meaningless thanks.

"The Lance family is not very friendly to the Cappadocia clan. ”

"It's not unfriendly, it's true that all the troublesome things are left to them to do. "Who told them to be the worst vampires in the Feast?" "No problem," tsk, not now. His face was gloomy, "The ancestors of the clan have appeared, Cappadocia has turned over, I don't think Cappadocia dares to trouble Lesenbra and the other vampires who used to bully them, but." "My face has returned to normal, "I was a human until my ten-year plan was completed. ”

"Huh. Zach didn't say anything, just smiled. Laughter is enough, Cappadocia is not so boring to take revenge on a human family. But General Reims's prestige in the military is indeed beneficial to Cappadocia, which is now just in control of the arms industry that disobeys Tsmich, and General Reims can't say that he is wrong when he thinks of such a hidden danger with a personal vendetta, but there is no need to pursue anything before the incident is foreshadowed.

Zach's destination was in Becky, and it wasn't far from the drive, and Zach parked the car, "We're here." ”

"I hope this is not the place you arranged for me. General Lance got out of the car and looked at the small hotel in front of him—there was a bewitching woman standing at the door, and she leaned over with a small leaflet in her hand.

Zach politely took the flyer, "We're looking for someone." ”

"Oh. The woman walked away without interest. Zach entered with General Lance and said to the front desk, "I'm the one who called Bell before. ”

“302。 "The front desk reported the room number.

"Thank you. ”

Zach moved on, and General Lance waited for a moment, "Bell, who?"

"Detective from Vega Police Station, using a pseudonym. ”

"What do you mean by taking me to see this person?"

"I'm not going to see you, I'm going to see him. Zach smiled, "I'm sorry, I just didn't think about how to arrange for you, so I'll take you to my own business, hehe, you won't mind." ”

General Lance was silent for three seconds, "Don't mind. "Well, why don't you turn around and go?
