27 Kraken
"Let's talk next time. "Zack is not running away from the topic, the topic is Zack Zack, and the current avoidance is only because the high school girls who have been out for a weekend are back.
"You're not the kind of adult who cares about getting down to business in front of your kids. Roy found an opportunity to taunt Zach.
"I'm not. Zach replied, "But don't you want to know the aftermath of the Kraken crusade after Friday night." You used that excuse to stop at Barton and then stop asking?"
"Hmph, what do the girls know!"
Watching Little Pink drive into Grande, Zach, "They really know, forgot." They insisted on going to the nightclub on Friday because one of their companions, Caesar, who could get information about the dealings between Mayor Anthony and Alpha Benjamin from Ethella's side. Zack glanced at Roy as Little Pink approached, and inexplicably stepped back from Roy, "Are you afraid of two banshees?"
"No!" said that, but the body was quite honest, retreated to the warehouse, gave Zach a melancholy look, and hid away.
Belch.
Kepler jumped out of the little pink first, "Did my father come to me on the weekend?" ”
Zach shook his head, "No. ”
"Hmph, count him as acquaintances. "Shake your head and leave.
This...... How does this brain circuit go? Zach is not ready to investigate, "Alice~come~"
"No!" Maya interrupted inexplicably, "Alice, you go with Kepler, I'll deal with Zack!"
What the situation. Zach pouted, "You don't have to deal with anything, I'm just asking Alice a few words." ”
"It doesn't matter. Maya sat down next to Zack, "You know that Yuehua and Baiying have come to Barton. ”
Zach knew, what he had just known in the morning, "What do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything. Maya Bai glanced at Zack, "I want to improve the atmosphere between us, well, so as not to make Moonlight Hundred Shadows think that I have been wronged at Barton." ”
Zach raised half of his eyebrows, "Have you been wronged?"
"No!" the girlish glared at Zack, "Why are you talking so much, I'm not trying to save face for you." ”
"Thank you. Zach raised his eyebrows together, "But no, the Black Witch's feelings for me won't change because of you......" Zach was talking about the facts, but while he was talking about the facts, he could see Maya's eyes getting sharper and sharper. Forget it, the devil knows what this girl is thinking, and Zack, who is an adult, just let it. Do not say.
Maya's expression returned to normal, "Say, what do you want to ask." ”
"Where did you go in the middle of the night on Friday?"
"Spend the night at Caesar's house. When Maya said this, her mouth softened inexplicably, "Seeing Shane drift to the sea, we all know that the matter of the Kraken has nothing to do with us, but we are still quite curious about the deal between Mayor Anthony and Alpha Benjamin." ”
Maya frowned slightly, "Lola is a little worried that the mayor really traded some important resources of Barton in order to deal with the Kraken, so we followed Caesar and blocked Aethra in his house. ”
Two points that left Zach a little speechless.
The first is that the person who worries about Barton's resources is actually Lola, and the eldest Kyle seems to be completely unprepared to follow the path that his family has prepared for him. The second is the Mayan version, blocking Ethera. Hey, these high school groups probably don't think of themselves as high school students at all.
"Is it blocked?"
"Nope. Maya pouted, "Aethra didn't return overnight, and Caesar offered to go to Mayor Anthony's house, but we ......" Maya rolled her eyes, "and voted not to disturb the two adults." ”
Wise decision. What can the two adults, Aethera and Anthony, still need to guess?
"Well, Aethra is going home that Saturday. Zach continued his question.
"Returned. Maya also continued to answer, "But only came back to fix it, and then it went out." ”
"Going to work in the city government?"
"No, it's on behalf of the mayor and the ancestral office to negotiate a deal. ”
Zach snorted, "I thought the deal was already over on Friday's nightclub." ”
"I'm afraid you don't know about the Kraken yet. Maya rose up.
"What's the situation, could it be that Shane was suppressed by the Kraken?"
"Well, that's impossible. Maya waved her hand, looked at Zach inexplicably and smiled, "Kepler said that your biology is super bad, do you know what the ratio of aquatic life to land life is?"
Zack's face twitched slightly, it seemed that vampires were really not suitable to be guardians, and they were too easily despised by minors, "I don't know, but I know that once the winged and fish-men are paired, their reproductive ability is amazing." ”
"Hmph~It's okay to know this~" Maya waved her hand, "Shane cleansed the entire Marsa Bay area of the Kraken, but even Shane can't guarantee that there won't be a new group of Kraken clans coming to disturb Barton. ”
Zach interrupted, "How do you know the battle?"
Caesar asked when Aethra returned. ”
Zach remembered Ethera's educational philosophy and stopped interjecting.
Benjamin sent a message to Mayor Anthony that the current Kraken trouble was solved, but until the ocean disappears, the Kraken's threat to Barton will not stop, and Benjamin asks for additional trade content to continue to provide defense for the Kraken by the alien race. ”
Zach frowned, "Benjamin offered to provide Barton with interracial defense?"
Maya tilted her head, "You're not wrong to say that, but Aethra's tone is more like Benjamin asking for an increase in the payout for the deal. ”
Zach looked down and thought for a moment, not sharing what he was thinking to Maya, "What does Benjamin want?"
"I don't know. Maya shook her head, "But listening to Aethra's tone, it's probably still a legitimate human identity." ”
Zach frowned.
Benjamin is suspicious.
Well, of course, Zach didn't have a problem with Benjamin's willingness to protect Barton, but Zach really thought it was a bit ...... Blame.
The first is the Kraken's motives for frequent harassment-Patton, which no one has ever figured out. If the Kraken continues to cause a big incident like the collision of the ship in Massa Harbor, it can be understood as a hatred between sea and land creatures. The collision had a great impact on Barton, economically, in terms of urban atmosphere, if the Kraken really wanted to engage in the city of Barton, it would continue, but the Kraken didn't keep doing this kind of big move, did it.
Then there is Benjamin's arrangement in the crusade against the Siren.
The crusade against the Kraken was proposed by Anthony, who was the mayor of the city, and knew that the coastline of his city was constantly being disturbed by the Kraken (Darcy, No, both said), and the human enforcers were very powerless in this kind of matter, so it made sense to turn to the alien lord, Alpha Benjamin, for help.
What doesn't make sense is the way Benjamin responds, as Zach saw in the nightclubs and the Southeast. Benjamin does not mobilize the demons and vampires of the most advantageous and highest-standing alien groups in Barton (the demons are not to be mentioned, the vampire here is Nophile of the Wizard of Pais, and he and Benjamin have also cooperated several times in dealing with the Kraken).
Instead, I'd rather find Newton's alien population. And we also saw that the aliens from Newton didn't know enough about Barton at all, and their manpower was wasted on such meaningless things as patrolling the southeast. The fart didn't work, and it also made a slime incident that embarrassed the 'general'.
As for attacking the Kraken, Benjamin is actually looking for Shane, the new god who theoretically belongs to Zack's children, but does not actually belong to either side.
Toredo's experience is that when doing something, try to find ways to move the event forward in a way that benefits all parties involved. You can see this in all the things that Zach has done.
Tell me, who benefited from Benjamin's crusade against the Kraken?
Nobody.
The city of Barton is still threatened by the Kraken, and the legal human identity that Benjamin asked Anthony for is not for the aliens involved in the operation at all, and Shane does not know what is beneficial to him.
So all that remains is Benjamin's benefit. Legitimate human identity, who in the end Benjamin is going to give.
It may be that Zack has been thinking for too long, and he hasn't spoken for a long time, Maya's hand shook in front of Zack, "What do you want?!"
"Nothing. "There's no need for Zach to discuss these things with Maya. Zach had a more suitable candidate to discuss, Reutsmich, who was hiding in the warehouse.
Zack's idea is very simple, Reutsmich is in Patton, under his own control, and he can't make any waves, so why not take advantage of Roytzmich's attitude towards Benjamin, which is completely opposite to himself~
Isn't it true that when you encounter a bottleneck, all you need is a different view? That's the complete opposite of Zach, and the view of Tsmich, who is full of hatred for Alpha, is just right. Zach could continue to push this forward on the grounds of helping Reutzmich secure Patton's foothold.
See, everybody's benefiting, Torredo's way.
"Go and accompany them. "With Maya free to move, Zach prepares to go to the warehouse.
Maya rolled her eyes and got up to go back to Grande, where the phone rang. It's not an office phone, it's a showroom counter.
Cyrus, who was on duty, answered the phone, "Grande Funeral Home ......"
Zach ignored it and continued to walk towards the warehouse.
"Sbella?" Cyrus' voice caught Zack's attention, and he stopped and looked at Cyrus.
The call went quickly, and Cyrus just looked back at Zach with a confused look before hanging up.
Zach had heard the call, "You can go. Zach gave Sylla permission to meet with Cyrus at Paising.
Cyrus did look more confused, "I, should I go?" He was Cappadocia in the vampire of the Demon Feast, and it was strange that he was not confused when he was asked to go to the wizard's territory.
"If you don't go, you don't know what Sbella wants. Zach's answer was straightforward.
Cyrus pursed his lips and nodded, and set off.
Zach stood in place for a while, thinking about something to carry on what he had just thought, and Benjamin's identity as Lord Barton had been confirmed, and the Barton alien race gradually left Sbella's side and leaned towards the ancestral office. This process happens very slowly, somewhat like a frog in warm water. Sbella may have been too focused on dealing with the wizarding family and ignored Barton's alien race for the time being, but now, she should have sensed something from the Kraken's situation.
Zach may be because of Cyrus's relationship with Cappadocia, and in order to protect Benjamin's current relationship with the Demon Feast, it is not good to directly ask Cyrus to find out anything in the ancestral office. But Sbella doesn't have that to worry about that. She is a wizard and chooses Cereus this Cappadocia, but it just makes the balanced relationship between the two sides into a triangular relationship, and it may be more stable~ We are also clear about Sbella's shrewdness, and Zach is very relieved.
With that in mind, Zach continued to walk towards the warehouse.
This time it was the office phone that rang.
Zach swayed in the clearing in the backyard, and it was better to answer the phone first.
office, Zach picked up the earpiece.
"How is Reutsmich doing with you? "Tsmich the Messenger, Craig's voice.
Zach didn't seem to be pressed for time, "Still adjusting to Barton's lifestyle." But you sound like you're in a good position at the Demon Feast. ”
"Not really, but since Frank's return, Rutlersenbra has no doubt that his father has different intentions, and it is true that when Frank is with us, we are freer to move. ”
"Sounds great. Zach smiled.
"If my situation is easy enough to make you happy, I can tell you a little more. Craig also seems to be in a good mood, "Because Revro in Newton has received your guidance and mixed well, and Revrew on the side of the Magic Banquet has occasionally given us some space." ”
This was news that surprised Zach, "Will Revre, of the Feast, use it to give you space to repay me for the advice I gave them in Newton?"
Because it sounded like Refror was sure that Craig and Zach were in the same group.
"It's not a reward, it's just that when I occasionally deliberately mention your life in the Northland, some Refror is particularly interested. ”
"Then didn't you lie to them, when we were both in the Northland, you didn't find me at all~"
"Facts, but that doesn't stop me from telling them how many Northland's resources I've spent to find you, Torredo. ”
Zach laughed again. The relationship between Craig and Torredo, and how the Demon Feast is perceived, is not what Zach is worried about. Judging from Root's style of acting, his attitude towards the Messenger of Tsmich is probably the same as that towards Zack, as a villain who may take the resources that should belong to the Feast from the Feast
You know, Zach is a natural troublemaker, and Craig may leave the Federation forever with Tsmich's clan.
If Rout had this attitude, it would not matter what the other clans of the Demon Banquet thought of Zach and Craig's relationship, and it would not be surprising that they were in a group.
"Even if you're loose on your actions, I'm sure you're not calling to make small talk with me. ”
"It's not. Craig replied, "I really don't have much time, and I can only talk to you about these two words." I have something to ask you to do, and I want you to be at Barton and woo Roytzmich for me. ”
Zach was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
"I can't tell you anymore, I'm going to hang. Woo Roytzmich for me. ”
What the hell?, Zach reacted, "You're not going to deliberately say a few small talks, prolong the call, and then not explain why." ”
"You guessed it. Then, it hung up.
Belch......
