Considering that this is a relatively important industry expansion, Zach hesitated for a moment and called Madison seriously, "Come on, let's talk about work." ”

"You're going to fire me. ”

Zach frowned, "What made you think this way?"

"What are you going to do. ”

"I want to expand the mill's business. ”

There was a pause, "I won't help you with your Grande gray business." ”

"Uh, what made you think that way?"

"What the hell do you want to do?"

"Come on, we'll have a meeting, and Ford is there. ”

"Ford's funeral home?"

"yes. ”

"Wait, I'm going to the police station, I've been arraigned. ”

"Oh, Alan's case?"

"Otherwise, what else could it be. There was some helplessness on the other side of the earpiece, and it was quiet for a while, "Didn't I do anything superfluous and shouldn't have gone missing?" ”

"Nope. Inexplicably, the call turned into Zach trying to comfort Madison, "You did the right thing, your employees are gone, and you are doing what you have to do responsibly." ”

"Afternoon, then. ”

"Good. Zach nodded and put the phone down. Glancing at Ford, "Madison has something to do for the time being, you need to tell me the process of joining the ceremony before cremation." ”

Ford, who was listening to the phone, almost understood, and nodded, "Well, let's get started, it's actually no different from a traditional funeral, and the mill plus you are now Grande should be very handy." It just so happened that I also brought the customer's request, so I will ...... you with this."

This kind of work, don't pay attention to it, anyway, thanks to the insistence of a customer, Grande has one more business, and one can contact Grande and the mill, mainly the business of Zach and Maddison's relationship. It is conceivable that in the future, this new business in which Grande is in charge of the ceremony, the mill is in charge of cremation, and the price is between a full set of traditional burials and simple cremation, will be added to the selection of Grande's funeral packages.

With such a comprehensive funeral service, Barton is the only one.

We went to see Maya, who was sitting on the back porch early in the morning in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

She was a guest and couldn't go to work, so she just quietly watched Matthew do some chores, and because of the visitor's visit, Benjamin finally recovered his life and basked in the sun in the hammock. Ink and Louise are not there, Alice goes to school, and Maya is estimated to be bored.

"Why are they all banshees, you were sent to Salem by the family, but Alice of the Fireflies was sent to my house. ”

This is the umpteenth time that Ryan, who is treated as air at Grande, repeats this question for the umpteenth time. The tone has also changed from the initial provocative mockery to real questioning, and now it is flat and straightforward.

Ryan wasn't expecting an answer at all.

It must be boring to the point of being somewhere.

"Probably Firefly is still preparing to cover up. Maya actually replied.

As Ryan was about to disappear into the land, his body flickered, resurfaced, and floated in front of Maya, "What did you say? ”

Maya pursed her lips and glanced at Ryan expressionlessly, "I'm curious, Yuehua and Baiying said that Sbella is very strong, although she didn't have much contact when she first came to Barton, but she made an enchantment to defend against Papa Midnight, they admired it very much, and they made a foundation in the later stage, and of course that Alice's own brother, well, John, right, they are all very strong." ”

Ryan didn't react at all, the topic suddenly came to him, and Maya didn't give him time to react at all-

"I was thinking, why did your mother (Sbella) come to Barton to live in seclusion? What was your mother's original surname?

Ryan was stunned for a moment, his transparent face darkened, "You answer my question first." ”

Maya looked at Ryan expressionlessly for a moment, "It's a shame to have a daughter of a banshee in the family, you know?" ”

"I don't know. Ryan shook his head honestly, his face still dark, "I just know that after the Banshee has mastered enough witchcraft, becoming a black witch will go crazy and be a threat to everyone, because they can see the death of any other creature, but they can't see their own, they will go crazy, they will become dangerous." ”

Maya had an expression and waved her hand contemptuously, "When did this happen, have you heard of any black witch in Salem who is crazy?" ”

"That's because you're together and you can take care of each other. Ryan was actually debating the matter seriously and pouted at the same time, "Because of that Zach (Salem founded by the Black Witches of Toredo)." By the way, I was in the office at this time and Ford was seriously discussing the expansion of the business, "and then your greatest fear - not knowing that your death was made up for by your companions, you just, well, come to normal." "Whether it's a single black witch, or a banshee who hasn't grown up yet, it's still dangerous." "You should look at the old Alice, she looks like she will collapse at any time, she doesn't dare to go out, and she only began to be cheerful after Yuehua and Baiying came." ”

Ryan said the facts. So Maya didn't say anything immediately, but pulled the corners of her mouth and nodded, and then, "But after all, we got together, and those are things in the past." "It's better to be comprehensive," of course, it is not excluded that there are also funeral banshees scattered outside, which are really crazy. Suddenly, there was melancholy, I lowered my head, and sighed softly.

"You just said that it is a disgrace to the family. Ryan really isn't a sweet guy, asked.

Maya raised her eyes, gave Ryan a roll of her eyes, and replied, "Because once a banshee appears, it means that in the genealogy of this family, on that blood line, at a certain point, someone prayed to Papa at midnight." That's why on this blood line, the soul seed of Sister Papa's Midnight sister was planted. In another generation, the banshee will awaken. ”

Papa Midnight's sister is the first banshee, remember, Papa Midnight in order to achieve his religious leadership status, covet eternal life, the first work he made, and it was successful.

Ryan frowned, "I don't understand. ”

"Are you a Holy Bishop? Maya asked, staring at Ryan.

"Of course not!" Ryan felt offended, both Sbella and Kirden Tempest were Indians, and he was also a pure-blooded Indian, and although he was limited by his lack of sorcery talent to devote himself to witchcraft beliefs, he was not enough to abandon the source of blood and believe in the Holy Lord.

"But you know that the most important thing for believers is to pray and call on their faith leader, Holy Lord, right? "Maya was probably playing, 'The Lord bless you!', 'My Lord is wonderful!', 'I swear to the Lord!'...... No Indian will say 'Papa bless you at midnight'. "White-eyed," that's looking for death. ”

Ryan frowned and was silent for a moment, "I know there will be a price to pay if I turn to Pappa for midnight. It's like a deal with the demons of the Holy Lord's faith. ”

"It's worse. Maya shook her head, "The demons of the Holy Lord's faith are very simple, no matter what you pray for, all they want in the end is your soul, ordinary people don't care at all, that's after death." Unlike Papa Midnight, there is no afterlife for the soul in witchcraft beliefs, and Papa Midnight will make the person who wishes suffer while living. ”

"Then what do you mean, do you want to say that if you are a banshee, it proves that someone in your family once wanted to pray for Papa at midnight, and you are the price paid by the family?"

"I'm just an appendage. Maya waved her hand, "No one knows where in the family tree the Banshee will awaken, and the person who prayed to Papa at Midnight has already paid the price while he is alive." But think about what he gave and what he gained. The current witchcraft family, which is not a faith inheritance family that has finally survived the ups and downs of the Federation. The glory of this inheritance should be given to the Papa Midnight who once climbed to the top of the faith by any means. So, it's a shame. ”

Ryan frowned, and suddenly laughed, just a sigh, his face was gloomy, "It doesn't matter if the Federation is finally occupied by the Holy Lord Faith, our own faith, no one likes the top one." ”

Yes, everyone loves the Holy Lord, at least not hate, but hates the wizard of Papa Midnight, a bunch of them. Well, of course, there are Boyson's likes.

Ryan flickered a few times, probably throwing away some thoughts that he didn't want to go deeper, "That is to say, sending it to Salem will be a real shame, such as your family." Alice, the Fireflies still want to struggle to cover up, so they sent Barton. ”

"Once a family. Maya corrected Ryan's words emphatically, "I can confirm it, because that's my own experience, but Firefly? I can only say probably, I guess it might be so, specifically, why don't you ask Alice herself." ”

Ryan pursed his lips, "She was too young to know anything when she came. ”

"What was Alice like when she was first delivered?" Maya seemed to be really curious about this matter, and asked seriously,

"Crying a lot. It is often said that I saw something terrible. Ryan lowered his head and stared at the space between his feet and the ground, "At first, it could be treated as an ordinary child, but as time went by, it became more and more serious, and it was no longer convincing others that it was just a child's discomfort with the unfamiliar environment." ”

Maya frowned. Ryan continued, "Eventually, Mother had no choice, and Alice also began to have a strong witchcraft sense and began to discover her mother's witchcraft notes. Ryan waved his hand, "In short, the situation is getting more and more out of control, and my mother didn't come to contact Firefly, saying that she couldn't control the awakened banshee, and asked Firefly to take it back, but she was refused." In the end, she could only be thrown away. ”

Maya's face was gloomy, "Lost." What do you mean, you say, lost? ”

Glancing at Maya, I was surprised to feel neither humble nor arrogant, because he was also a child at the time, not that he lost it, and of course it was not that he refused to take Alice back," literally. If we can't raise it at home, then we won't raise it, throw it on the street, and let her fend for herself, anyway, it's not our Hurricane's problem. ”

Maya clenched her fists and stared at Ryan without moving.

Maya didn't move, and Ryan's body boundaries trembled and flickered. Ryan's own mood was fluctuating. This led him to the next paragraph of the narrative as quickly as possible.

"Then the vampire and the alpha came, a strange combination, but what was even stranger was that the vampire clearly had a noble bloodline, but was alone. "The four-century-old Torredo," the alpha is a complete inheritance (Benjamin said that he ate the alpha of the previous generation), but there is no race. These two guys protect a human, now mayor, at Barton. ”

Then after the couple cleaned up some of the aliens who didn't want to keep secrets, they helped the police solve the case at Patton, who had been a regular mayor, Anthony. I don't know what Mother thinks, but after observing these two guys for a while, she led them to the street where Alice used to appear, and then here you see it now. ”

Maya's face returned, her head bowed, not knowing what she was thinking.

Ryan floated back slowly, ready to take advantage of Maya's thoughts, and didn't go back underground, by the way, he didn't want to answer Maya's earliest question-

"I'm done answering your question. Your turn. Maya looked at Ryan, who was already halfway sunk in his body, beckoned, and a touch of red hooked Ryan, and returned to herself, "Answer my question about your mother, Sbella." Why did she come to Barton?well, what was she doing before coming to Barton?" and then pouted, "It's not for anything, but your father is just an ordinary person, and I really don't have an impression of the surname Wind, how did your mother marry your father as a powerful wizard?"

Ryan's face was gloomy as he watched the red spell that hooked him fade, and he frowned at Maya, wanting to say, 'It's your business. But, don't dare.

"Mother is very powerful, and Firefly, Alice's mother is also a friend, they are both powerful wizards, they will travel together in the Federation, rescue wizards who have been taken captive by wolves (werewolves), she once told me, this is a common way of training for family wizards......"

Maya interrupted, "I know this, say something I don't know." ”

Then during an operation, the mother met the father. My father was a hunter and was hunting the same wolves as his companions. ”

Maya raised an eyebrow, "Powerful wizards who have been cultivated by the witchcraft family generally don't bother to act with those motley hunters unless they fall in love." ”

"Well, it seems, you know, do you have anything else to ask? Ryan stared at the ground, his desire to go in was no longer hidden.

"And what about your brother? Rivench, what's going on with him?" Maya isn't a caring character, well, maybe she just doesn't want to be intimate with the guy who once wanted to peek under her upskirt, "I know he came to Barton and did a bunch of things and then became Alpha, Papa Midnight." What about before? Your family has already retired, why did he still run away to be a hunter?"

"You expect me, who was still ten years old at the time, to know what my adult brother was thinking?" Ryan's face was blurry, emotional. I haven't forgotten that Rivench tried to burn Ryan, who was not mentally prepared at all, and put it into action.

Maya frowned and waved her hand, "Let's stop here today, next time." (To be continued.) )
