25 Zachary Grande and Zachary Toredo
Zach's words seem 'normal', in line with the attitude expressed by any living creature towards the world.
But, Noe knows Zach, so Noh knows what Zach said, 'not normal'.
"Wait a minute. "Even though Nou is already a human with more than ordinary people can accept, when it comes to 'handling' overly complex things, Noh can't do it at the same time. The speed of the car slowed down. The energy that was put on the march was taken away, and all the energy was put on the mind, "When you say that you are alive in this world, you mean that you have been living in this world, that you are living forever, that is, eternal, right?"
Zack, Zach had a happy face, "I knew I had come to you to the right place." After speaking, he raised his hand and pressed it on Nuo's shoulder, the kind of way he tried to convey his heart.
The speed of the car had to slow down again. The vampire's psychic body contact, slightly heavier, affects driving.
Noh felt Zach's 'mind' for a moment, "Hey. Nou still raised his hand to remove Zack's hand, "When you saved the General, I thought of one thing. What the hell is a vampire to you and to humans? ”
Although it was Zach who came to Noh for advice, Zach didn't mind getting No's 'feedback' here. What both sides gain from the exchange is the best outcome of the exchange.
"When the 'General' was injured and I needed help, I felt that vampires were the things that could save humanity. Nou glanced sideways at Zack, then withdrew his gaze, "People are injured, vampires can heal them." It's as simple as that. The corners of No's mouth lengthened, "I don't think I'm objectifying a vampire, but this convenient thought should be the perception that came to my mind the moment I knew you were a vampire." ”
"I don't mind. Zach looked at the street scene that retreated at an extremely slow pace, "There shouldn't be any vampire who would mind this thought, hmph, the Demon Banquet has used this human cognition to establish the foundation of society in the west." ”
No, who really helped Zack, "Don't talk about the Demon Banquet and disturb your thinking." Let's talk about how we feel each other. ”
Zach gave a look of thanks and nodded.
Nou continued, "But when you can't heal the General's wounds and can only turn the General into a vampire, I feel something else. You don't mind using your own blood to save a human, but you would mind using your own blood to turn a human into a vampire. "And this minds, not the kind of boring reason that 'General' is not suitable for Toledo." Nou looked at Zach, "You know, my relationship with the 'General' has been repaired well recently, and we talk about these things once in a while." He often talks about this kind of thing, saying that's why you don't care much about him. Pause, "but I know, it's not." ”
Zach didn't speak, only, closing his eyes and nodding his head once.
Noh saw Zach's attitude and knew he was right, "What you really mind is that you can't get rid of someone because you have turned that person into an eternal life like you." It's not that the 'General' doesn't meet the criteria for Toledo's descendants and you don't want to care about him, it's that you simply don't want to imagine that someone like the 'General' is still alive by your side tens of hundreds, thousands of years later. ”
After all, Nou is a bystander talking about his feelings, which may not be very clear. Don't worry, Zach himself explained.
"You're right. Zach was holding the baby in his arms, no longer shaking lightly, only providing a stable sleeping environment for Adam, "I don't recommend meeting people like 'Generals' when you are seated in Zachary Grande's life, becoming colleagues (gray professions), becoming friends...... But. Zach was expressionless, "I don't need this relationship that belongs to Zachary Grande, it becomes my Zachary Toledo's life relationship." "You can feel it, I think of you as a true friend, and I take the initiative to show you the true identity of the vampire." But 'General', I'm passive, and I have no intention of letting 'General' know more about any of my attributes beyond Zachary Grande. Zach frowned, "If I were to take anyone with me as Zachary Toledo in the middle of Zachary Grande's life, I would choose you, not the General." After Zach said this, he began to shake his head, because it was not very appropriate and could easily hurt people.
"Uh, thanks. Nou waved his hand, "I think we can gather the contradictions around 'Who do you want to live forever with in this world?'" "The speed of the car controlled by Nuo has increased a bit, it should be a smooth idea, "Humans look at vampires like me, and think that vampires are creatures that can provide a universal healing 'medicine'. And vampires look at humans, which are creatures that I can choose to live forever with me. Is that so? ”
Zach nodded, "Yes." The standard of descent of the vampire clan is there, is an important principle, yes, but hum. Smiling and humming, "There's no need to pretend anything, everyone has their own preferences." It may be necessary for everyone to recall that Bob's ancestor has a biased preference for his descendants of the Tsmich clan (Bob prefers Roy), "Every vampire has his favorite descendant and his disliked descendant. It's one thing to meet the standards of the clan, and who can say anything. Even including Zach's own relationship with the Toredo ancestor, "Vampires create a large number of descendants, and there are many cases where only one descendant is cultivated. The most unpopular descendants of vampires, those who have never been cared for by their own fathers since they were converted, are derogatorily called vampire aliens. And then a little better than the vampire aliens are the transparent people in the clan, where they are there, they are not there, it doesn't matter. Here's an example, Hamilton, who has run away from Patton, "and it's better to be a descendant who gives a little care and takes on a duty." There are also examples, such as Craig of Tsmich, who at least took on the responsibility of being an ancestral messenger and filled with a sense of belonging as a member of the Tsmich clan, "I calculated the 'general', I didn't completely ignore him, I should teach him to teach him, and then I didn't force him to live for Toredo, giving him freedom." ”
The reason Zach used such a large paragraph to say 'General' was, "He should be thankful that I could push him out of Toledo's world with 'He doesn't meet Toledo's standards.'" At least at some point in the future, he won't have to finally wake up to the fact that I didn't want him to live forever in the first place, and then be sad. ”
This is something to think about.
As human beings, those who have lived unfortunate enough may at some point ask heaven and earth, "Why was I born?
That's what Zach meant. Vampires are creatures that live forever and treat immortality as an advantage. When a creature who regards immortality as an advantage suddenly realizes that his immortality is meaningless and passively smashed on himself. At that time, it would be a real despair to ask questions.
Zach's current attitude towards the 'General' at least saves the 'General' from this despair.
"Just like people, who have more or less plans for their future in life, vampires also have their own plans for eternal life. You don't expect to have a son in your eternal life that you don't like, but since this son has appeared, you try to keep your distance, not to affect him, and to keep your self-esteem in each other. ”
Zach continued to nod. There is still helplessness on his face, this topic is biased. The example of 'General' is not suitable for the topic of Zach to advance later.
No, who was really rare, glanced at Zack, "I guess, you said you can't just take care of yourself, and you're not talking about 'general'." ”
Zack's face appeared 'happiness' again, and he still nodded, "It's not 'general'." ”
"Not even your descendants. "Notizak pushed.
Zach pursed his lips, "yes." ”
"It's the stage of your Zachary Grande's life, the relationships that were established. "Nou is still helping Zach advance.
Zach continued to nod.
"Your Zachary Grande has lived to be Zachary Toredo. You want to be selfish, live only for yourself, but suddenly you realize that no matter which identity you hide into, you can't get rid of the relationship of another identity, right? ”
Zach looked at Nuo, this time he didn't put on a happy expression, but pursed his lips, his lips moved slightly, and the ink was inked for a long time, "I want to fall in love with you, No." ”
"Please don't~" No, tilting his head, "I don't think it's actually a conclusion that I understand you well enough." It's something you can discover just by looking at your life. Oh, speaking of which, I think the Madison who wrote about you should be the one who knows you best. ”
"Well, don't mention people who don't exist. Zach quickly interrupted. And then he began to analyze himself, "You're really getting to the point. All of my life experiences have made me proficient in the way life stages change. Zach frowned, "When I first joined Toredo, I had only one identity, a vampire, and it was enough for me to work for Toledo, a vampire clan that had occupied a noble status in the human class. Then there was the period of the Thirteen Clans, and I represented the Toledo Clan, so naturally I had to do things for the clan. Then, there was the period of the Hidden Alliance, and in this newly established country, the rotation of human identities began, but fundamentally, it was for the Hidden Alliance, and the human identity and social status I gained were all for the benefit of the Hidden Alliance. ”
Zach was quiet for a moment, "Then it's free time in the Northlands. I am who I am, and the change of human identity no longer means anything to me, and I am who I want to be. Full freedom to play, can be a human who lives in one place for a short period of time, or a vampire who wants to watch a person's entire life boringly. ”
Zach anthropomorphic sighed, "Finally, now, Zachary Grande, Zachary Grande, Zachary Grande......"
Zach repeated his name many times. Knowing that Nudu listened a little impatiently, "Okay, I understand." You're already good at switching between your identities and doing the right things. After all, it's just a natural progression at each stage of your life. But, now your trouble is that Zachary Grande's identity attributes are too complicated, and in Zachary Grande's identity, there are those things that you represent as vampires, and there are also things that you represent as humans. And with this identity, it seems that you can't get out. ”
The speed of the car has picked up again, and Zach can look out the window at the street scene to find a sense of wandering, "Grande's identity has Hank from Lesenbra, Benjamin with Alpha, and Alice with the Black Witch. Hmph, even outside of Grande, there is Lady Quinn, who is of my descendant, and Lesembra Ethella, who is by Anthony's side...... Zachary Grande is no longer simply a human stage of living in a vampire living freely in a funeral home. I've lived like this. ”
Zach shook his head slowly, "It's my fault. I didn't fully transition back to where I was in the Commonwealth from the Northland stage. My experience in the Northland has given me the freedom to get used to, and I feel free to play with Zachary Grande as an identity destined for the past. Then, as a result of that too much free-play, I was allowed to live my life as Zachary Grande. ”
Zach looked at No, "I've done so much with Zachary Grande what should be done by Zachary Toredo." Then, I used Zachary Torredo to do what Zachary Grande could do. "Zach is talking about the baby Adam in his arms! Grandry's uncle-nephew relationship is to continue the godfather and son relationship of being a vampire, isn't it!
"In the two days I tried to be selfish and not do things for other groups. Zach's face was not good, "I found out that I was hurting my Zachary Toledo identity when I was selfish for my Zachary Grande. When I was selfish for Zachary Torredo, I hurt my Zachary Grande!" Zach's bad face was because the topic must have touched on the core - the most fundamental reason why Zach came to No.
"I seem to have ruined everything around me. Zach looked at No.
"Uh, can you be specific, what did you ruin......" Noh was a little nervous, and the car slowed down again. But this time it's not because of any psychological factors, it's the promise that I'm home.
Zach opened his mouth, "I probably deliberately provoked the conflict of the Feast (Roy and Nick), the clash of the Covert (Reimer and Gangaro), the conflict of the Barton West End (Smith and Bishop), the conflict of the vampires and the aliens of the entire Federation (Zach didn't return the baby to Benjamin and Mokawi in front of Roy and Nick.) Probably add to that the fact that Sissi committed suicide...... )。 ”
Let's go and deal with Zach's behavior these days.
Noe stopped the car, didn't get out of the car, and looked at Zach, "Two days??"
"Two days. Zach also looked at Nuo, "If the world is destroyed, it's a good thing I've done in the past two days." ”
"Oh, my friend. ”
"Oh, my friend. Zach repeated No's words, "Help me." ”
