Grande's table was filled, but the long table in the backyard that had been prepared in advance was not used, and Max said that there were only four of the two dozen people, Sbella, John, Max, and Gamez's girlfriend, Phoebe.

"I can't fit a car with so many people. Sbella replied to Zach with this reason. Zach's calculation of personally examining those wizards was shattered.

"Well, then you don't have to send Max over personally, and bring one with you. Zach responded to Sbella's answer.

"I'm here to invite Alice for a casual dinner. Since the last time at the wedding, Sbella seemed to speak to Zach in a much more direct way, "Didn't you ask John if he wanted to come to Grande at the wedding, wouldn't it be good for me to bring someone directly?" ”

Zach, who was on the throne, looked at John and Alice, who were bowing their heads, and continued to communicate with Sbella amicably, "What are you inviting Alice for?"

Silbella didn't answer immediately, but carefully cut the dinner in front of her, "Alice, do you want to see the other banshees?"

Zach lowered his glass, and the table fell silent, represented only by the chewing of various creatures.

The Black Witch Rally is coming.

"They haven't arrived yet. After the silence, Sbella spoke again, "And not all, just two assembly members. Phoebe and the others can go directly to Barton North and get off at Becky Station, but they can't. Sbella paused for a moment, probably worried about Alice's feelings, "After all, it's a bloodline that was transformed by Papa Midnight, and it's staying in Newton for the time being, and after dinner, John and I are going to pick them up at the Southern Border." ”

"So you have to invite them to enter. Zach nodded, "Why are there only two?"

"Hmph. Sibei pulled her shoulder, "Naturally, you don't believe us yet." What Barton was like, they had to see for themselves before deciding whether to come here or not. ”

"Yes. Zach nodded and smiled, "Then I should go with me and meet her......"

"No, you don't. They are a special group, and I have long informed them that there is a Torredo in Barton...... "Naturally, Sbella took Zack's proposal as the vampire asserting Barton's sovereignty. In fact, if you think about it seriously, don't look at the friendly conversation between Sbella and Zach at this time, the relationship between the two is really not very good, Sbella just tried to dig Benjamin and failed, and had to take care of Grande's feelings while doing everything.

"You're thinking too much. Zach interrupted Sbella with a direct wave of his hand, "I'm just going to know, Salem. If you are interested, you can check it, borrow this place here, the Black Witch meeting place) is in the middle, and the Hidden Alliance also has some contact with them. ”

Sbella glanced at Zack, "You haven't been in the Hidden Alliance for many years. "Emphasize, it means that the Black Witch that Zach met through the Secret Alliance, now, should all be in the cemetery. Those who are unlucky and live longer should catch up with the popularity of cremation. There will be no bones left.

"It doesn't matter. Zach smiled and shook his glass, "The Hidden Alliance created the current Federation out of a nod to Papa's Midnight's agreement, and has been helping these things that Papa Midnight left behind. ”

Remember, the history of the Federation, the colonizers and the war between India and Anthio. Eventually, a peace agreement was reached, and the Covert Alliance and Papa reached a consensus at Midnight to promote independence from the Federation.

"I helped them set up rallies in Salem to keep them safe. Zach raised an eyebrow at Sbella, chuckling in his tone. Zach is revealing history, "These records are in the years of the Hidden Alliance, and they who were helped should have done the same." ”

Sibella tugged at the corners of her mouth, frowning, "So it's you, it's your secret alliance that is helping the banshees, and the wizard families have never known what is special about Salem that will make those banshees gather." ”

Alice had already raised her head, and it was impossible for her not to be curious about these things. And she'd never heard of it.

"Huh. Zach raised an eyebrow, "And even better, why did you wizarding families finally allow Salem to exist, and the Black Witch Gathering to exist?"

Questions?

Sbella and John, the two high-ranking wizards at the Grande Restaurant, eating dinner, glanced at each other. Sbella frowned, "Because of the curse of Salem, the witch trial was executed by the Holy Lord Faith, the Black Witch died at the stake of the Holy Lord Faith, and the wrath of the intersection of faith turned into a dying curse - 'Let the death of this land never be spied on, be careful, all the creatures that walk on this land, when it comes, you will not be able to hide'." The Dark Witch's curse forced the wizarding family to withdraw from Salem and end the siege of the congregation. ”

It's a bit winding here, but first of all, it's important to know that the Black Witch is a creature of Papa Midnight, a witchcraft belief. Look at the vampire, life is a person of the faith of the Holy Lord, and eternal life is a vampire of the faith of the Holy Lord. For creatures under their own beliefs, rewards and punishments are carried out by their own beliefs, and it is not the turn of other beliefs to participate. Otherwise, what is the purpose of faith?

So, if the black witch who grew up from the banshee is to be punished, to be executed, by whom? The best thing to do is to kneel in front of Papa at midnight, make one last redemption for yourself, and then calmly accept death instead of being burned at the stake by a priest who came out of nowhere, holding a cross and reciting scriptures.

She was born as a powerful banshee who could see death in the witchcraft faith, and even if she was inevitably lost in her growth and became a black witch, she was not burned as a heresy of the Holy Lord's faith. The anger is here.

"You're just ordinary women you're burning. Zach took a sip of his drink, "There is no curse, just a show manipulated by the lurking Torredo and the real Black Witch." We exploited the gap that has been in the blood of the two faiths in the Federation to create the perfect deception. Zach tilted his head, "After all these years, don't you think this 'curse' is a contradiction, if death can't be spied on, the Black Witch's most powerful power can't be used." ”

Sbella's face was very difficult to open, "We ......" Sbella still changed her name, "the former wizard family." "After all, the time is a long time ago," is what I fear the most, and the Black Witch does not hesitate to deprive herself of her ability to curse the land, and is regarded as the wrath of the Holy Lord for heresy. No family wants to try. ”

Zach raised his shoulders and didn't show much, "Look, the perfect deception." And you're having dinner with its creator. ”

Belch.

"You?!"

"Toredo likes to be in the middle of a crowd. Zach continued to shake his glass, "We know very well what humans are thinking in every age. For example, in the Middle Ages at that time, the word 'heresy' alone could provoke people's nerves. Before the Wizard Family acts, it is easy to stir up the fear of the Black Witch among civilians and fanatics of the Holy Lord's faith. ”

This conversation is about the history of the Black Witch? No, it's Torredo.

"It's also a pity that the relationship between the Secret Alliance and the Church has always been inferior to the Demon Feast in the west. "Yes, the Covert Alliance is the one who supports peace, and that's why the Federation was born. The Demon Feast still adheres to the beliefs of the former colonizers. Firmly holding on to the purpose of the Holy Lord's faith that made them come to this continent in the first place, the relationship with the church is naturally good.

"So even I can't convince a heavily armed priest to go along with the vampires and the black witch. Zach's face was still expressionless, "After inciting the fear of the Black Witch, we had to blend in with the crowd again and play the victim, showing the appearance of the Black Witch getting out of control, and forcing the church to protect Salem." Helpless. Only innocent people can be burned at the stake, realizing the Salem witch trial that has been recorded in history. ”

"You ......" Silbera didn't know what she was trying to say. So this you, stretched, and finally disappear automatically.

Zach smiled, "So if the witch gatherings know how to be grateful, my name should be in their records, and I think they'll be happy to have the opportunity to see me in person." ”

"So. So, you saved those women, banshees......" Alice looked at Zach, her eyes shining, "people like me." ”

Zach smiled and nodded. Excuse me. When did Zach tell a story with a simple motive?

Sbella let out a long breath, not wanting to say another word, concentrating on dinner.

The table fell silent, this time to the end.

The first to stand up from the table was Max's Phoebe. Phoebe never said a word since she came to Grande, and even the introduction was made by Max. The first thing she said surprised everyone, well,

"Thank you for your hospitality. Her voice was soft, "Excuse me, Alpha ......" There was a slight pause, as if to use courage, "Do you need a wizard?"

When Max pulled Phoebe in shock, Benjamin replied directly, "No." ”

Phoebe smiled a little stiffly, "At least I tried...... "Laugh at it," and then pulled up Max, who had a surprised face that hadn't eased up, "Max, send me back, I've seen what I want to see, don't bother people." ”

This witch is curious...... Leave her alone, Grande's master doesn't look at her very much, and we don't need to.

Zakla walked past Alice, who took the initiative to lean over, and looked at Sbella with a smile, "Let's go." ”

Let's go.

There is nothing to describe in the southern area at night, it is dark and gloomy, not as good as the starlight in the sky, not to mention that Sibella's car is still driving to the border. There is an occasional street lamp on Route 27, and most of it is broken.

The closer he got to the border, the more familiar Zach became with the night view, the benefit of the full moon to pick up Benjamin. On both sides of the road that was gradually deserted, there were very few houses with lights on, and as he crossed one, Zach suddenly raised an eyebrow, "Stop by the roadside." ”

John, who was driving, glanced at Sibella, who pouted and nodded, and the car stopped.

Zach, who was in the back seat, rolled down the window and beckoned to a running figure on the side of the road, "Cyrus, what are you doing at this late hour?"

Cyrus and Brill, remember. It's just a civilian, because of an unpleasant cooperation between the mill and the prison, and he got to know Zach, the big boss of the Grande. At the same time, this Cyrus is also the guy who really reveals the Southside's opinion of Grande - Grande relied on connections to keep the traditional funeral business, recall that this is what Cyrus said to James, and Zach overheard on the roof.

Cyrus, who had already run away, turned back and heard Zach's voice. Originally, he didn't have a crush on Zach, as detailed in our vampire's first bus experience. But then didn't Zach remind him of the prison escape in a rainstorm, and he had a chance encounter with Brian while he was getting medicine, and his bad impression was a little better.

"Mr. Grande. Cyrus looked at the car for a moment, then nodded at Zack, who was poking his head out the back window, he actually had a teapot in his hand, and it was steaming, "Well, go over there, there's something." The direction he signaled was south, and he was about to reach the border.

"Oh? This wasn't Zack's car, but Zach took it upon himself to say, "Give you a ride, come up." Zach pushed the door open and put his arm around Alice to get out of the seat.

Sure, John and Sbella in the front seat frowned together, but what could they do? "When you start running, do you want to run directly?

John restarted the car, frowning, looking at the road while winking at Sbella. They were there to pick up two black witches, what a normal human was with them!, and Sbella tilted her head, staring out the window at the dark 'beauty' and the occasional flickering street lamp, not wanting to say a word.

"Who are you?" After getting into the car, because Cyrus was carrying a teapot that seemed to have just been boiled, his hands were inconvenient, so his seat belt was tied by Zach for him, and when he 'embraced' Cyrus, an ordinary farmer, in a slightly awkward position, Zack glanced at the teapot and asked.

"Brill made two new friends and asked me to bring me tea. Cyrus visibly resisted when he said this, because he knew it sounded suspicious. Bring tea over? uh.

"Friend?" Zach actually began to talk casually, "Friend's house doesn't have a teapot?"

"Ugh. No. Still resistant, Cyrus pursed his lips, "It's not a friend either, the two women I just met, standing at the road sign into the city, refusing to come in, were discovered by Brill, curiously went up and asked a few words, and then chatted and chatted and didn't come back, let me come back and bring them tea......"

"Those two women, what's the name!" Sibella turned her head, her expression no longer distinguishing whether she was helpless or surprised, and she all kneaded together.

"Uh, Yuehua and Baiying, the people of India. ”

"Oh. Seeing that Sbella's expression immediately turned completely helpless, Zach understood, and patted Cyrus with a smile, "What a coincidence, we are going to pick them up, and we are still worried that they will be rejected by the city for the first time in Barton, it seems that it will not be, right, Sbella, they have already made friends." ”

What can Sbella say? Turn her head and continue to look at the night view of the South District. (To be continued.) )
