On a new day, an old Hank rushed to the office early in the morning and yelled at Zack, "Is there something wrong with you?!"

Zach knew what was going on in the living quarters - Evan was 'resurrected' and began to show off to the guys who were still his colleagues that he was going to be truly free. So Zach replied to Old Hank, "You saw me go to Evan yesterday, and now you're angry, and I want to ask you what's wrong with you." ”

"I don't care if you send someone out of Grande!But can you shut him up!I'm making those people belong to Grande!" Old Hank, it's also very difficult, "I can't make anybody feel like they belong, if a psychotic is out there and keeps yelling that Grande is another prison!!"

"Then shut him up. Zach glanced at old Hank, "You don't need me, a vampire can shut someone up." Another way to say this is that you don't use a nuclear bomb to blow up a cockroach, and then, "Please?" Zach waved the receiver that was still in his hand at Old Hank, and very politely requested, "I have a vampire waiting for me on the other end of the line." ”

Old Hank went out with a gloomy face. "Close the door, thank you. Zach followed, adjusting his sitting position and turning back into the earpiece, "Sorry you need to hear this. ”

"Nope. "...... in the earpiece Hey, Rout Lesenbra said in a pleasant tone, "I'm glad to hear that the people around you hate you. ”

"Looking for sympathy?" Zach also said in a pleasant tone, "I thought we were all past this childish age. ”

There are comings and goings, and this rhythm is good. But Rute Lesenbra didn't make a phone call to talk to Zack, he hired someone else to do this job, don't forget the swear call at four o'clock in the morning~

"I just finished reading your Barton Daily. There was a sound of page-turning on the other side of the earpiece, "Your friend, Mayor Patton's secretary Anthony, is missing." ”

The door that had just been closed by Old Hank was pushed open again, and James still had unrinsed shaving cream on his face. It was supposed Louise telling James that Zach was answering Lesembra's call.

Zach glanced at James who rushed in and into the microphone, "Do you have any questions?"

"No, I just wanted to express my regrets. "As a mayor, the point of having a secretary is to have someone else do the chores we don't want to do." But as it turned out, it was a luxury, and the secretary and salary didn't seem to be able to meet their needs, and they had to find some trouble, which in turn made me, the mayor, worry about it. ”

Zach listened attentively, and then, "Are you sure you're calling me? I don't seem to be the right person to complain about the secretary." "It's supposed to be Anthony.

There was silence on the receiver for two seconds, and then, "I called, and then your friend, Mr. Anthony, the mayor of Barton, hung up my phone." "It seems that I just said that I just finished reading the newspaper, including turning the pages, and I have acted it. Dishonest guys.

Zach smiled, "You can leave a message~"

"I stayed. Rute Lesenbra's answer only made Zach smile even more, "And your friend, didn't call me back." Zachary Toredo, you should be ashamed to be friends with such a rude human. ”

"It's good to get used to this kind of thing~" Zach slapped James's outstretched paw off - James wanted to listen to the conversation on the phone, "Sorry to interrupt you." "I have a very persistent detective here, so I'm going to do a good deed for us and ask you directly, is there any progress on your interracial serial murders in Vega City?" Please answer seriously, and then I can get rid of this persistent detective. ”

"Give the phone to James Lance. ”

Zach complied.

James didn't even speak, and the words on the earpiece were like this—"The police in the West hate vampires who have the power of human society, and in this case, it's me." Then let me ask you, I would like to continue to use my human social power to remind my city enforcers why they hate me? So I've put pressure on the Vega police to force them to reopen the case, and that's the only thing I'm going to do, I've opened the box, and everything after that, what's in the box, is your police job. Got it, so, don't, ask, me. And finally, "Give the phone to Toredo." ”

James complied, his face gloomy, "I hate him." ”

Zach took the earpiece, and Root was very clear, "Tell him I heard." ”

Zach replied with a smile, "He knows you hear it, but that doesn't change the truth, doesn't it, the police, will always hate vampires who have the power of human society, hehe." ”

James was gone, and Zach felt that someone would come to disturb him, and he didn't care if they were turned off, and continued to look into the earpiece, "And that's what you want, isn't it, Mayor Patton, Anthony, James." You need this type of human to take power at Barton. ”

Isn't this strange, don't hurry-

"I don't know if I'm happy or upset, but you understand my plan for Barton. ”

"Happy. Zach gave advice, "If I don't understand, I can ruin your plans, and you know, I don't have the slightest burden to sabotage any of your plans~"

"So we're completely honest here, right. ”

"Why not, you won't call me on some unsecured phone. Well, it's just the two of us. ”

"Good, good. The receiver said two good, no special tone, as if it was just to take over the words that were written down, "Then why don't you tell me why I chose the son of the Lance family, James, to be the future mayor of Barton." ”

"I think this question can be narrowed down to why the son of the Lance family, who lived to be in his twenties, did not know about the existence of alien races. If it hadn't been for the meeting of me at Barton, heh. ”

Good question. Does anyone think this thing is abnormal, James came to Barton, was almost killed by the shapeshifter, and was saved by Zack, only to know that there is a non-human existence in this world. Oh my God, he's a westerner, and his neighbor, Linda, is an inheritor!

"Yes, then please answer. "The earpiece also said please.

"Because of the republic. James mentioned that it was not uncommon for the Republicans in the West to be seen, so I guess the Feast has been a trade with the Republic for a long time. ”

"Yes. "When centuries ago, when the gold rush in the West attracted these peoples from the other side of the world, I thought, one day, I'm going to have a union and a republic in a relationship." ”

"Bad relationship, I guess. Zach pushed forward with a smile.

"Yes. "Again," such as invasion. What the Demon Feast failed to accomplish on the Indians could be done on a new continent. ”

Don't care about this, because—Zack: "It's a pity, the Demon Feast has no name to start a war, and from the moment the Demon Feast changes from a colonist to a federal citizen, the vampires, we, have no power to wage war." "You know, the Confederacy, a newly formed country, can only run to the other side of the world to fight a new colonial war if it is crazy.

So this idea can only be put down until there are more and more people in the land of the north. ”

"There's no guessing. Zach was talking about the history of the Hidden Alliance, "The Feast has left the western part of the Federation to lead the Northland, which was founded entirely by immigrants. This intention was strangled in the cradle by the Secret Alliance, to be precise, me. ”

"Yes. "Today, Ruth Lesenbra's favorite word is, 'yes,' "The feast cannot invade a new land, nor can it occupy a country that was truly born." I, the Demon Feast, are trapped in the western part of the Federation by the Secret Alliance. ”

"Sentimental? Hehe, don't be like this, when I was in Vega, you were very proud, you made the West. ”

"I'm very proud, countless times better than the chaos you Toredo left behind in the middle. ”

"I can't argue~" Zach shook his head, "I'd love to talk to you about history, but the topic now is about the current federation and the republic." If my guess is correct, it would be ten years to choose James Lance as Patton's future mayor...... Eleven years ago, after the war between the Union and the Northland. ”

"Yes. "Favorite word, isn't it," hesitating about the war, the childhood of the son of the Lance family, with General Lance spending most of his time on the battlefield. and on the battlefield in the Northland, and we didn't know that you, Craig, were in the Northland. However, it has no effect, the war between the Federation and the Northern Kingdom is just a war of mankind. ”

Zach had a thoughtful look, "James's childhood was not raised in the social atmosphere of the West. He was unaware of the coexistence of humans and aliens in western societies. ”

"And that's the key, I need someone who doesn't know about the existence of alien races and can control them, go to the easternmost city of the Federation, and become the interface between the Republic and the Federation. ”

"James grew up on a route with Nainard, Wes, Linda, huh. "It can be said that it is all-round protection," separating James from the real western society, and then, General Lance of the military, has long been under the control of the Demon Banquet, I guess it is the arms trading relationship from Tsmisch. ”

"The armed groups of humanity, especially the 'military', love their weapons, don't they. Root said a black joke, and then snorted lightly, "The relationship between Tsmich and the military is not a topic of discussion for us, Toledo, I am not so simple to be tricked by you." ”

Even if it can't be debunked, Zach just casually mentioned it, and then continued to really discuss something, "The significance of this 'quality' that James was deliberately 'cultivated' and did not know the existence of aliens is that when James is the gateway to the Federation of republics, he is a layer filter. He was unaware of the existence of aliens, so there would be no alien affairs in the affairs that came in and out of the city he managed. ”

This statement is very flawed, but it is extremely true. Here's an example –

If the security guard of a building does not know that one of the residents here is a wanted criminal, then the security guard will not call the police. You see, the filter is not to block the criminal's behavior from the door of this building, but to block the news of the criminal's occurrence from the door. Long look at the first release of Chinese network.

"Yes. ”

Based on Zack's constant affirmation, it is natural to be happy, "Hehe, Demon Feast, after so many years, are you still thinking about leaving the Federation that was secretly established to complete the mission of the Holy Lord, hehe." Admire. ”

Keeping up, if James is the mayor of the city, he will be as content as an idiot with the prosperity of his city due to cross-border trade when there are a large number of aliens in and out of his city......

"Admire yourself, you are also a member of the Demon Feast, don't let me remind you again. ”

"Sorry, I forgot for a while. Zach waved his hand into the air, "I have to admit that I like this feeling of being honest with you, who would have thought that during the colonial war, we who didn't like each other the most, are now talking so freely~"

"The phone calls don't stop at four in the morning. Rutte Lesenbra wasn't fooled by Zach, "We still hate each other. ”

"No comment. Zach shrugged, "But we have to talk about the change in plans." Since my information about Barton was exposed, your plans for Barton have also changed. However, Anthony is still the template, and James is still the mayor's choice. You want me to go on and say what I understand, and then you have to continue to affirm my guesses, or you say it yourself. Hehe, you might be able to be more comfortable, if you say it yourself~"

"You're exalting yourself too much. "It's strange that I didn't affirm Zack's words, "The change of plan started with the disappearance of the Hidden Alliance, and it wasn't because of you at all. ”

"Oh?" Zach only now thought the call was interesting.

"Have you forgotten that on the first day James went to Barton, he was attacked by the Shapeshifters. If you hadn't saved him, he would have died. ”

Reasonable. Zach had an epiphany in an instant, holding the earpiece, looking surprised, "Barton is a city without a lord, and it was released by the Demon Banquet?"

"Hmph, how can a bunch of low-level aliens who are struggling to survive in human society get any information about their city? Better yet, it's still information about an ownerless city. Are you so optimistic, Toredo, that the creatures at the bottom have been given a chance to turn around and be in charge for no apparent reason? So yes, it's the message that the Feast has given them. ”

This is a real surprise, "Everything is planned~" Zach is really very 'happy', "The shapeshifter who infiltrated Patton's telecommunications office...... "David, do you remember, Fitz's friend," smart enough to know that the aliens who came to Patton were assigned identities. So there was Kim the Transfigured, who attacked James and replaced him. Ha, everything is laid out. Zach raised an eyebrow, "You want James dead." Zach corrected, "You want James to die once." "Got it! James is dead, James Lance's identity is not dead! Kim, in the time James died in the woods of the Southside, continued the existence of James Lance!

"Yes. "The favorite word reappeared," from the need for someone who didn't know about the existence of the alien race, the plan became, the need for someone who hated the alien race. There is no one more fitting than James Lance, who has lived in seclusion all his life. ”

Need someone who hates aliens?Ah~ Root said, isn't it, the change of plan, it's not that Zach saved James, but that the Hidden Alliance has gone to the Republic.

The filter, the real filter will be used - the change of plans James will block the wall where the vampires of the two lands meet.

There is only one question, if Zach didn't exist in Barton, James, would really die, what is the point of doing this?

Zach - "I see! How can a man find out that he has been controlled by a lie all his life as quickly as possible? Let him die once!" literally opens the door to a new world in an instant.

"That's it. ”

Wait a minute, there's one more question, but don't let Zach ask. We figure it out ourselves.

How did James come back to life?

How did the unwanted grandsons of Zack under the General's command come back to life? Two, the Kraken, who owes Zack a favor, gives life to the body. Let's guess casually, these two factors are indispensable for those who can list the magic feast of the alien race on the price list.

"You have to admit it, I gave you ......," Zach corrected in time, "I gave us the Feast and made a better version of James Lance." ”

"You've done a lot for the Feast......"

This call is not over. Rut Lesenbra hasn't said why he can't talk to Anthony normally, so he can only retreat to Zack's call. No hurry......
