20 Hunter and Crowley
Benjamin has recovered to normal, no, not at all. Zach pursed his lips as Benjamin threw the rags off his shoulders and lay back in his hammock and dangled.
It doesn't feel good at all, and vampires really miss the good old days - they went on a diet for alpha. Dieting, just two days of sadness. This is a small sacrifice, Zach is willing to do. But now, in order to make Zach comfortable these days, Benjamin is using things that he knows will have a bad effect on him.
Trust me, it feels terrible.
While it was bad, Zach silently took away the rags discarded by Benjamin and collected them. Bad taste, don't explain.
With no need to leave quickly, Zach prepared to wait at Grande until the dinner began. There is no need to wait long, and Zack's status as a nanny needs to be present in advance. By the time Louise and Alice had finished their makeup, they were ready to go.
Zach seems to have forgotten about a guy, the demon Mike who was told to stay outside of Grande to watch the car.
At this time, his expression was dull, the inky black rolled in his eyes, and the bright red light was embedded in the depths of the inky black. The demon's unique way of communicating, with Mike's peculiarity, we can guess that it was Crowley who was talking to him.
After a few moments, Mike regained his composure, looked in Grande's direction and hesitated for a moment, but still disobeyed Zack's instructions and walked towards Grande.
"Zach. Mike walked into Grande's office and looked at Zach who was shaking his wine glass and didn't know what he was thinking, "Crowley needs Grande's help. ”
Zach came out of his love affair and looked at Mike apologetically. That's when he remembered that Benjamin had taken over his mind, and he ignored the demon, "Ugh. Sorry Mike, there was a situation just now. I forgot about you for a while. But Zach quickly raised an eyebrow, "What do you say Crowley needs?"
Mike smiled, "Crowley needs your help. ”
It seems that most of the day with Constantine has not been in vain, and Crowley can't help but speak. Zach smugly, "Now?" Zach made a hypocritical look of regret, "Now you know." I have something to attend to, and tonight, I won't have time. ”
"Well, I told her. Mike laughed. Sometimes, one has to wonder what this Mike's attitude towards Crowley is, "She said that she was going to give 'Colt' to the hunter ......"
Zach's eyes narrowed, it was completely different from what he had imagined, what did Crowley say?
Mike saw Zach's expression change. But he still relayed Crowley's words unhurriedly at his own pace, "But there are conditions, the use of 'Colt' Crowley must have some control rights. ”
Zach stared at Mike, took a sip of wine, and asked slowly, "How is Crowley going to control this weapon that she sent to the hunter?" Zach's real thought was that Crowley needed Grande's help to rush to her and scold the sick fallen angel. Stop her from doing something stupid?
"Crowley needs an intermediary. Mike answered Zach's question.
Zach put down his glass and locked his eyes on Mike. Meaning: Please, please keep talking, if there's no good reason, Grande will do the exact opposite of helping.
"About the city of Barton. Mike continued very consciously, "Before the demon appeared, the existence of Alpha had already spread to the outside world. Crowley needs alpha to be the ......"
So when Crowley said. When you need Grande's help, it has nothing to do with Zach, who is looking forward to something!
"Nope. Zach had countless reasons to refuse, and he didn't even bother to find one to deal with Crowley, and bluntly interrupted Mike's relay, "Benjamin wouldn't do such a thing!"
"That's what I told her. Mike smiled helplessly. See, I really don't know how Mike became Crowley's person, and his loyalty is a little too weak. He looked at Zach seriously, "But the reason for what she said, I think you can listen to it." ”
Zach was looked at by Mike's sincere expression, a little helpless, and nodded, "Say it." ”
"Among the hunters, many people are aware of the Tempest that has retreated to Barton City. "It's Sibella, no surprise, the Windwinds used to be one of the hunters (Volume 2). Mike continued, "Although Blast is now away from Barton, it has been confirmed that they and Alpha are at peace at Barton. ”
Remember the history of wizards and werewolves (Volume 3)?As a sorcerer, Sbella was not enslaved or killed by the Alpha, and she was free to leave Barton for a walk-and-go trip, which is an undeniable peace!
Zach raised his eyebrows, he could already feel what Crowley's so-called intermediary meant! This intermediary needs to be fair and accept hostages without malice! And an alpha (volume 1) who can coexist peacefully with wizards and expel foreign races under the contradictions entangled in history is the most perfect intermediary!
Wait!Zach missed something!"What does Crowley want??, what do the hunters want?!" Zach asked, looking at Mike.
The intermediary has been proposed, which means that in the negotiation between Crowley and the Hunter, both parties have laid out their own agendas. Only when the terms have been placed in front of both parties, will there be a next step to ensure the implementation of the terms, and as an intermediary for the supervision of the concept of storage!
"Crowley wants the hunters to hunt down demons. Mike looked Zach in the eye and said, "More than that, Crowley is willing to send his men to teach the hunter the knowledge of the witcher and leave Barton with the hunter." ”
Zach frowned, sure enough, Crowley herself has no ability to leave Patton, she is going to let the hunter fight back against the demons in other cities outside of Patton, outside of hell!
"What do the hunters want?" Zach asked, no longer caring about how the two sides could communicate such needs, and they had plenty of time to communicate since the tentative battle at Ixton yesterday.
"'Colt'. "It's natural," Mike continued, "they need 'Colt' to suppress the alien race that is in chaos in the middle. Mike's expression was a little strange, and he looked into Zack's eyes inquiringly, "Leave in the Hidden Alliance...... After. ”
Zach sighed in his heart, although he had vaguely felt this way for a long time, he still felt a little inexplicable when he heard it. For centuries of the Federation's history, the realms that had been part of the Hidden Alliance were abandoned.
Zach waved his hand and smiled. Let's focus on the good things, and Toledo's bounty has left with the departure of the Hidden Alliance.
Mike saw Zack's change of affection, and continued with confidence, "After the Secret Alliance no longer controlled the alien races in the central part of the country, a large number of alien races began to turn their backs on the rules of the Hidden Alliance and began to invade human society to compete for territory. The pressure on the hunters was too great for conventional hunting methods to counter the outbreak of alien tides. So they need 'Colt'. ”
After a few strange turns, Zack's mood actually relaxed, raised his finger, bent the corners of his mouth, and reminded, "Don't say that there are demons joining." ”
Mike completely relaxed, smiled and nodded, "Well, yes, and demons. Especially after the connection between the west and the central part was interrupted, the number of witchers also decreased dramatically. The hunters had been cornered before they began to pursue the hidden weapons. ”
"And what?" Zach shook his glass, "this is the purpose of the hunter when he came to Barton in the first place, and since he has already started negotiations with Crowley, it won't be the only thing that will be there as a deal." ”
"Yes. Mike nodded, "It's more than that. The hunters also offered a new condition, the city of Barton. Patton's status quo as a 'calm ownerless' city until Alpha was truly revealed, and the hunter asks Barton to keep it that way. ”
Mike pursed his lips and glanced left and right at the office. He's looking for water, it's his habit. Zack, who was in a strange mood and relaxed, didn't care about waiting.
"The hunters demanded that Alpha and Crowley be isolated from the aliens, at least in the easternmost part of the Federation, and that they should be able to stay in the present peace. Mike pursed his moist lips and continued, "The hunters need a place of absolute safety as a final disposition. ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Deploy what?"
"The hunters are not in a good situation. "Because the situation in the middle of their real home, the middle is terrible, and the west is the same, and the feasts and demons, plus the aliens who have lived there in the first place, are now in disarray. Only the east seems to be calmer. ”
"But the east is completely dominated by demons, and in the absence of witchers, it is difficult for hunters to make changes to the situation in the east. Comparatively, only Barton, and a true lord who is above Crowley, is controlled by Alpha. ”
"They need a place to escape after a complete finish. Mike was rude, but it was already true.
The peace in the east comes from the fact that no one loves it, the Demon Banquet and the Hidden Alliance have never taken care of the east, and the alien races live chaotically in the city, today it may be a powerful phantom who dominates here, and tomorrow maybe the phantom will be killed by the ghouls, and the territory will change hands.
When the demons return to the world on a large scale, the demons supported by the countless souls of hell are not as powerful as the alien races that are constantly consuming and fighting. Therefore, the demons of the east can control the eastern land very easily, and the only exception is probably Crowley.
The hunters are not stupid, in Barton, they can clearly see that Crowley's power is limited by something, but it is different from what they imagined, it is not the alpha that suppresses Crowley, but Grande and the mayor Anthony!
However, this does not need to be explained to them.
Zach thought for a moment, "When? What is the exact, I need to know." ”
Mike smiled, "Crowley said, and if you agree, she'll come over and explain herself." ”
Zach nodded and agreed. (To be continued......)
