At 4 a.m., Zach picked up the phone and put it aside, not listening.

I had already heard this new curser at 4 a.m. yesterday. There is the kind of magical swearing in this world that is so imaginative that it is almost impossible to keep up, and there is the curse that is constantly repeated over and over again, '*you, *your whole family'.

So, there's nothing to hear, let him repeat it there for ten minutes.

Zach didn't immediately go back to his room and had an interrupted 'blood exchange' with Louise. Ten minutes is too short to accomplish anything, so why be interrupted again.

While he waited, Zach was looking at the staff living quarters. Except for the occasional tiny light that flickered on and off between the windows, one light was on, and it was Russell.

But Russell wasn't actually awake, he was already asleep. He's actually waiting for Charlie-

Charlie was assigned by Alice to keep an eye on Herman, didn't he, and Herman called Zach again to say that he was about to leave Barton for the West.

Herman's reconstruction is really not a trivial matter for the people of Barton, and with the positive 'blessing' of Aethera, Herman's exposure is very high these days. Presumably in order to avoid being harassed by the media, Herman did not really leave in broad daylight after hanging up Zack's phone, but waited quietly, probably waiting for a time to leave quietly.

According to the discussion between us, 4 a.m. is the quietest time in the world, and Herman should leave at this time, Charlie, and he should be back soon.

As for what Russell wants to say to Charlie, hehe, can't you guess~

Ten minutes were up. Zach picked up the microphone and hung it up, and was about to go back to the room to find the answering machine's indicator flashing. Someone actually left a message at such a time.

Zach pressed play.

"Zachary Grande. Or...... "It was Mrs. Barton's voice," Torredo. Whatever you want to be called, I don't care. ”

There was no tone, but a variety of small 'beeps' were heard in the background sounds—the kind of sound from certain instruments echoing in an enclosed space in a quiet environment. Zach could guess it was the hospital.

"Sure enough, you are creatures of day and night. Mrs. Patton sounded calm, "The phone is still busy at this time. "But I hope you remember, humans, need sleep." Even a guy as old as me needs at least 5 hours of sleep a day. ”

Well, so, Mrs. Patton called Grande at this time to inform her sleeping habits? Of course not!

"Do you know why I called you? Because, I didn't have my 5 hours of sleep. A--son who had forgotten that an old woman needed these 5 hours of sleep took away my sleep. ”

There was another person's voice in the background, it was Mrs. Quinn's voice, "Who are you talking about-??"

Mrs. Barton in the message didn't answer, "I believe this-son-is-your new daughter." ”

Background sound, "My heart is crying, my friend." ”

Mrs. Patton still ignored the voice in the background, "Be a nurturing father and take your daughter." "Hung up.

Zach listened to the message with an eyebrow, scratched his chin, hesitated for a moment, and walked out of the office, walked deeper in the hallway, and stopped at the door of Alice's room.

There were two even breaths in the closed doorway, and Zach gave an order to his thimble, "Wake Maya." ”

"Actually, I'm on a better relationship with Alice, after all, I've taught her witchcraft for a while. Thimble, the vampire's wizard Sam confessed, "Maya, you know she's a black witch who specializes in attack. ”

"Wake up Maya. Please. And, thank you. Zach added a human-made magic and asked for it again.

Sem is 'bound' by magic and fulfills Zack's request.

After waiting for a while, the door of the girl's room opened, and Maya, who was rubbing her eyes, rubbed her eyes in the crack of the door, and without speaking, she looked at the vampire outside the door.

"Mrs. Patton had just called me from the hospital, and she didn't seem to be in a good mood. Do you know why?" Mrs. Patton's message was distinctly devoid of any tone, and where did Zach tell that Mrs. Patton was in a bad mood?

Maya looked at Zach with bloodshot eyes, still not speaking.

"You spend every day with Lola, did Lola say anything about her grandmother?" Zach had to rearrange his question so that Maya, whose brain was clearly down, could understand the connection.

Maya seemed to understand, her eyes blinked, she looked back at Alice, who was still breathing evenly in the room, and sighed for some reason. Squeezed through the crack in the door, didn't look at Zack, and walked straight to the next room," I said. ”

Zach followed.

Maya didn't turn on the light, but as her fingers moved, the dark red incantation wrapped in a bright yellow light source and sank into the bed that had just been opened. Maya climbed into bed and wrapped herself, dispelling the chill of her brief walk before speaking, "Lola and Mrs. Barton had a fight about a week ago. ”

"Oh?"

"Mrs. Barton has been discharged...... Maya rolled her eyes, "Louise told you why Mrs. Barton was hospitalized." "Maya needs to know that Zach knows the premise.

Zach nodded, "Lady Quinn is scared of the resurrected Lady Quinn." ”

"Yes. "White eyes," I didn't have to be hospitalized, but Mrs. Patton was too old, and then she had a lot of money. Maya continued to roll her eyes and didn't repeat, "I was in the hospital before I confirmed that there was nothing abnormal in my body." And then, hmph, with Mrs. Quinn here, what can Mrs. Barton's body be, healthy like a, like a, like a, like a ......" word poor. Wayward sideways glance, "Then Lola and we went to pick it up when we were discharged." ”

Maya glanced at Zack, "At that time, Mrs. Quinn naturally didn't show up in front of people, and Mrs. Barton probably felt relaxed, so she asked Lola and us, do you know, do you know, do you know...... "This time it's not a word short, it's waiting for Zack to make up."

Zach shook his head, feeling that there was no need to make up for it, so he directly, "You confessed. ”

Lola confessed. As soon as she said that, Maya's facial expression was not repeated, "What do we have to confess, hmph, we are the 'inhuman, monster, troublesome, and anomalous ......' in Mrs. Barton's mouth" Maya said before that it was a quarrel, didn't it. Let's piece together the scene of this quarrel on our own, looking at Maya's appearance, she is not ready to narrate it for us, "We don't have anything to 'confess'. Hmph, it's only Lola, who needs to explain to her grandmother that her boyfriend is a wolf. Hum. ”

Zach frowned, "So that's not a 'confession', it's Lola like a normal girl, when an elder asks a certain question, she can't help but worry about her own problem." ”

How do you describe this kind of thing...... Well-

Children who have done bad things are educated by their parents, and the problem of parents thinking is that they must let their children know how to be responsible, and the children who have done bad things think that the broken vase represents a week's imprisonment.

The source of quarrels has never been like this, the two sides are expressing different problems on their own, nothing can be solved, there is no consensus.

Maya must have been really sleepy, drooping her head, "The result is that Mrs. Barton learned from Lola about this year, and she was like an old lady in the air, foolishly self-righteous to think that everything was under control and watch everything happen. Her friend became your descendant of the center of the year's troubles, the immortal monster. His grandson is harassed every day by a guardian angel (Kyle's Geville). And his granddaughter, who knew everything from the beginning, still chose to like a hillbilly who would turn into a stuffed carnivore. ”

Zach pursed his lips, "And then Mrs. Barton didn't want to go home and was in the hospital." ”

Maya's head drooped up and down.

Zach thought carefully about Mrs. Patton's message. The quarrel a week ago can only be made up by the brain, but from the message just now, Mrs. Barton's attitude is quite peaceful, isn't it, at least giving Zach the respect of the immortal creature. Oh, without the opening scene to say that Zach is a monster who ruined my family and friends, it's progress, isn't it?

But Mrs. Barton's resentment was evidently still there, at least, her address to Mrs. Quinn was still imbued with a derogatory connotation, as if betrayed.

Hah! betrayed. This should be the most appropriate description of Mrs. Barton's present state of mind.

Zach nodded, not ready to continue to disturb Maya's resting departure.

"I don't think I'm going to be Alice's partner anymore. Maya spoke suddenly.

"Huh?"

"She's already stronger than me. Maya was already lying down, looking at the vampire at the door, "It's a waste if we become partners and let her just act as a defender." "Remember, the combination of the Black Witch, one attack and one defense, coupled with that mutual gaze, makes no enemy solve the combination," I will only become a burden to her. ”

If it weren't for Maya's sudden mention of the topic, Zach almost forgot that he was still holding the title of guardian of the girl, "Why do you think so?" Zach gave a look of incomprehension, "The meaning of you black witches partnering with each other is not attack and defense in battle at all." It's taking care of each other, literally. Isn't it? ”

Yes, to take care of each other to avoid death.

Maya blinked, "Hmph." "This white eye needs to be mentioned to let everyone know that Zach is a good guardian," said Shuk. I don't care if you wake me up in the middle of the night this time. ”

Zach closed the door and turned around, Charlie standing beside him, "Herman is out of town safely." Charlie, who had returned, reported to work first, and then, looking at Zach, "Why did Russell suddenly decide to go to the Magic Banquet?"

"You're going too. Zach didn't answer the question at all, but instead gave instructions, "You will accompany the dog brother, grow into an adult, and then witness him become your brother." Zach stood in the doorway of the master bedroom for a moment, knowing that Louise was still waiting inside, but Charlie's problem had to be solved first.

"I, I?" Charlie seemed to be unable to keep up for a moment, "what about you??"

"I'm the ancestor of the Toredo clan. Zach had a sense of responsibility from the inside out, "like any sane ancestor." "Oh, easily, I left Mokawi out, "I have more important responsibilities, and I won't live with you." ”

They all remember the reason why the ancestors of the Thirteen Clans chose to sleep in a place known only to the messenger. They didn't know what impact the colonial war would have on the future of the Thirteen Clans as a result of establishing a country independently, and in order to avoid the loss of the Thirteen Clans, they chose to avoid all disputes and solidify themselves on the grounds of retaining the highest bloodline.

Charlie suddenly became anxious, "This, this is different from what we said before! I want to go with you! We will all follow you! You go to the magic banquet, I will go to the magic banquet with you, otherwise, I, I will not go!"

Zach had to signal Charlie not to get excited, to be quiet, there were still people under this roof who needed to sleep.

"It's still the same. "It's hypocritical to say that he was moved, after all, Zach also took a little time to make Charlie in front of him realize his loyalty, and the situation at this time is a matter of course," we said that we would leave Grande together and end Zachary Grande's identity, not forever. I'll go to the Feast too, and then, I'll definitely leave the Feast, but the 'Torido' (clan) will stay at the Feast, and you're the decision maker of the Celestial Descendants I've decided, aren't you, you can't go down to sleep somewhere with me, right? Zach still had the heart to joke, "Louise is responsible for this part, I don't need you." You need to do your job well. ”

Charlie blinked, seemed to understand Zack's words, and didn't seem to understand, give him some time~ Rather, "I, am I Toledo's messenger?"

"Uh......" Zach thought about the question for a split second, and had an answer, "No." It's so obvious that I can't choose you, sorry. ”

"Well...... No, it doesn't matter. And some strange questions, "Will I have more siblings?"

There's a very serious problem with that, and that's if not, then Zach's messenger choice, we can count on one hand! More specifically, three fingers. 'General', Quinn, Ian. Louise was going to be taken to sleep by Zack, wasn't she, so be attentive.

The 'General' is a complete outcast of Zach, left to fend for himself, Quinn, uh, look ahead, in friendship, Ian, don't want to mention it......

Three fingers were withdrawn, and Zach was nowhere to be found.

"Like the messenger of the clan, when you know, you will know. Unless this happens, no one knows what's best. Zach gave a rather vague answer.

"Okay, okay. That's the answer Charlie can get.

Zach watched Charlie go back to his room, and Louise was ready to meet him......

"Oh yes, I met Craig when I came back, he and the wizard were collecting materials for Banlin's experiment, and John was there, and he said he saw Alice that night, let me tell you, if he sees Alice makeup again, he, he's going to bite you. Charlie bowed his head in inexplicable embarrassment," he said. ”

"Then I'll wait at any time~" Zach can reply to something. Not being able to accept high school girl makeup is John's problem, and no one can solve it.
