Vol 2 Chapter 18: phone

While Zac was preparing lunch for Old Hank, the phone rang, and Benjamin called from Spella. Bayi ≯ ＞ Chinese ≥W≤W ＜ W≤. ＜ 8≤1 ﹤ Z ≦ W≤.
"Not coming back at noon."
Zac was quite predictable, "Guess it, I didn't get rid of it in a while."
"No. It was Max who invited us to dinner."
"why?"
"Katie (Meiss girlfriend, producer of Fuzi soup) was debilitated after being removed from the enchantment, and Max asked me to comfort."
Zac raised an eyebrow. The witch Katie seemed to have said that Fuzi Tang was her greatest achievement. With this thing, the Alpha she used to serve gave her a way to live. It was also because of this Fuzi Tang that she was "Curse", if this kind of thing that can make other wolves strong is brought to other wolves, she will die very ugly (xxVIII, 3).
"How are you going to comfort?" Zach just asked casually.
"I don't know, do you have any suggestions."
"Let her be your wizard?" Zach said chaotically.
"another."
Zac is already off topic. "Speaking of it, I don't know why you are so persistently repelling the Alpha wizard."
"Betrayed." Benjamin answered very simply.
"Oh." Zach raised an eyebrow and returned to the theme. "Tell her, um, you won't allow any other wolves in your city, regardless of whether there is an enclave of Indians." Zack paused. Added a question, "What do you think?"
"Well." Hanged up.
Zac pouted, not knowing what Benjamin was answering.
Let's put it this way, the friendship between Zack and Benjamin is based on the fact that the two meet when they are single. In the former battlefield, two guys and a soldier were enshrined in the rear as the only hope for survival. A single soldier used as an absolute shield to block all the offensive of the enemy to provide protection for the rear, looking upwards in front. .
In that case, the two guys looked at each other from afar, and both temporarily suppressed their instinctive impulses, and saved the fragile human beings first.
The friendship between this wolf and a ghost is relatively lucky. Alpha Benjamin without the wolves and Toredozak, who is regarded as an enemy by all vampires, have not encountered other werewolves or vampires. So this bottom line hasn't appeared yet, what should they do if they encounter other werewolves and vampires.
Now, the bottom line on the vampire side is already obvious. If Gangro is probably because Gangro ’s blood is the origin of the werewolf, and Benjamin has no intention of confronting Gangro, then Remer Eve ’s initiative It was accepted by Benjamin, regardless of Zac ’s influence, it was accepted anyway. It is now basically the default that Georgina's guy has been hiding in Grandry.
In turn, the bottom line on the werewolf's side, Zac is not yet clear. If there are other werewolves entering Barton, what attitude will Zac take to resolutely kill Benjamin? The Werewolf of Newton could not give Zac a reference, because the reason why the Newton Werewolf and Benjamin fought was to steal the silk bera that they thought was the wizard of Benjamin, and it was a battle for resources among wolves.
Zac doesn't know much about Benjamin's past, and it's not clear whether there are any friends of the same race in Benjamin's past. This little question is a temptation. Still a failed temptation, Benjamin did not answer.
Putting down the phone, Zacburn prepared to continue to go back to the kitchen to cut potatoes, and didn't want the phone to ring again.
"Zac?"
Zac raised his eyebrows again. It was Harrison the ghoul. "Harrison?" To be honest, after the last time Emilia came to express a large section of "manifesto", Zac did not expect to hear Harrison's voice. Oh, although Harrison insisted on wanting to be a Grande's insider, it turned out that his persistence was no more honest than Emilia demanded, so ...
"Well, yes, well ..." Harrison seemed very hesitant. "Can you do me a favor? Zach."
"Do you have any trouble?" Zac frowned, and naturally thought of the shelter that belongs to the Quinn Group now. Harrison was reinstated, remember, but, the latest news, Boqi came out. Zac ’s thinking is no problem at all, "Is there any pressure on Quinn over there?"
The receiver was stunned for a while, and then, "Uh, nothing. The shelter is good here, no trouble."
Zac blinked and lipped, "When I didn't say anything, what are you doing?"
"Emm ..." Continue to hesitate, "That, where are you, Eh, Grande, is there a body now?"
Zac did not respond for the time being, but it was clear.
"I, uh, need to order 'real food'." Harrison's voice automatically lowered, and Zac heard it anyway.
"How long have you not added ..." Zac quoted the other person's original words, "'Real food'?"
"More than a month." Harrison replied, with a little anxiety. "In Grande, after the blood of Toledo's deceased in that feast was used up, I haven't added it."
Zac counted the next day, almost, frowned, "You have been back for more than half a month, I thought you had a food channel."
Do n’t make a final conclusion, once said, do n’t think that Harrison ’s food is a homeless man in his shelter, otherwise it will not be poor. After the Central Hunter entered Barton, he went hungry and went to Grande. Once died. Now that the shelter is taken over by Quinn, and Harrison is hungry at this time, please directly treat it as a coincidence.
"I have." Harrison answered quickly. "But now it's gone ..." He hesitated, and then probably made a decision. "I used to have a trader at Ford's funeral home. He is my channel. But now, he, uh, he no longer accepts my business, he, uh, has new important business ... "
"Ford's funeral home?" Zach raised his eyebrows, unbelievable, "what underground business is doing (?) ..."
Was interrupted in time, "No, he, er, is now the demon contractor, has completed the contract, has become a lower-level demon, and is ordered by the demon to block all business outside the funeral home and let Ford exclusive devil. "
Zac felt his chin, and he remembered that once Wales had Welsh help Siberia to get out the werewolf corpse, and let a contract person at Ford work. It seems to be the same guy.
"You will not only have this one channel." Zac pouted.
"Also, Alan ’s Funeral Home, but, I learned yesterday that Alan was closed and was about to be sold ...
Zac pursed his lips. "Okay, I know. You were two days late. Grande held a funeral yesterday. Now we have no corpses here." Don't wait for the other party to be disappointed. "Wait, I'll ask The mill. "
"Oh."
Hang up, Zac dialed, dialing a bit slowly, thinking about how to tell Madison this matter.
Toot-Toot-
"Zack! What about my lunch ?!" Old Hank returned, and our vampire didn't show up in the kitchen, and began to shout.
"I'm trying to find food for the ghouls." Zac turned his head and replied loudly, deliberately, so as to block the old Hank's next complaint.
The effect is remarkable. Old Hank lost his voice, and went to the kitchen to meditate.
The phone was picked up, "Grand Funeral ..."
"It's me. Madison." Zac decided to go straight to the subject, and if he was lucky, he didn't need to explain, "Do you still have corpses there?"
"Uh, yes." Madison replied, his tone a little weird. "What's this about?"
Obviously, Zac was out of luck. Now Zac has to explain.
Zac pouted, "What kind of corpse?" Ask some information first, and delay by the way.
"Uh, it was sent from the hospital over two days. If no one came to pick it up today, it would be directly cremated."
Zac has a little bit of bottom, "If, I said, send it over, I will deal with it, will you accept it?"
There was a long silence on the receiver.
"Lyon has taken away the soul of this man." Maddison answered unanswered. "It's a tramp, no faith ..."
"All I need is the corpse." Zac interrupted, a little helpless. Obviously Madison was tempting, although it was not essential, "Can you accept the corpse, and then ask about the treatment here."
There was another silence, but this time was quite short, and the tone was fairly calm. "You just say it. If you want to arouse my complete curiosity, you succeeded."
Zac smiled and shook his head, "It's really not, I just want to give you a chance to ignore. Obviously impossible. Well, I said it straight. Harrison, need 'real food'. "
This silence, I can't even hear my breath.
Zach felt it was necessary to comfort Madison's mind, "So it is either a ready-made product that has already been dead, or it is manufactured in the future, the former is always better."
The breath in the earpiece came back, and Madison replied somberly, "So you are telling me that the real food of ghouls is human corpses, this little tribal knowledge."
"No." Zach felt that Maddison was also rare, and had a joke. "Any dead creature can be used as food for ghouls. Human corpses are only necessary for ghouls to maintain their human form. En, nutrition Elements? You can think so. Otherwise the ghoul's body will start to return to what it was like when he was born. "
It was silent again, it was Madison who did not expect Zac to really explain it seriously. Then, Madison took a few deep breaths on the side of the receiver. "Anyway, you explain, then I just have a question. I asked."
Zac smiled, holding the earpiece, listening to the sound of Madison taking out the paper and pen. Since the last time Madison came to ask the charming demon question, Zach has shown Madison's learning side.
"I remember that Barton gave birth to the ghoul invasion. James was almost attacked by ghouls, and then, Ravenci ’s hunter squad was removed. (II)" Madison finished the time, "I still have the impression that the ghoul had a great appetite and that the homeless people of Barton frequently disappeared. Why? You did n’t mean that they only ate ... eating human corpses."
"At the beginning of the year, I haven't seen the ghoul you mentioned. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to Barton's current affairs." Zach recalled that it did happen, "but if that guy frequently hunts humans, it should be It was during delivery, he was about to breed. "
"He, childbirth." Take a deep breath and repeat the two keywords at the same time.
"Sorry, the reproduction of ghouls is divided, and unlike humans, it is similar to some lower creatures, and a part of the body is separated to form a new individual. He and she, there is no need to distinguish between them, only their external performance. . "
"I should have lunch to answer your call."
"No." Zack smiled. "You should be glad you didn't have lunch." After looking at the time, it was estimated that Harrison had been waiting anxiously, "Is there any problem."
"No more." Knowledge is never created overnight, and needs to be digested.
"Then reply to me, would you like to send it over, take that body?"
After being silent for a while, "The whole thing? Well ..." Madison's humanity is obviously still rejecting something, "Harrison is just that ... big." Madison should express that Harrison is just an ordinary human. Body size, how big is the stomach? "Uh." Madison sensed that he was stupid, and the ghost knew if the ghoul had a stomach.
Zac understands Madison's thoughts very well. Our vampires are so 'intimate', "No need for a whole set, he eats the same amount as a normal person at a time, but." It's very "intimate" for anyone, "He Just told me that his food channels are temporarily gone, so if you can give him the whole set, let him not have to worry about this for a while, it is a good thing. "
There was a weird voice over the earpiece. Madison was rebelling. No matter whether Zac was interested, he printed a picture into Madison's mind.
"You, you are the boss of Grande, what you want to do is your business." What can Madison say?
"Okay, then I let him go to the mill ..."
"Don't, don't ..." Madison interrupted directly, "Let Lyon send to Grande, don't let the corpse ... Harrison came over. I, I'm going out, and the mill will be closed for a while."
"Go out?"
"Uh ..." Obviously thinking temporarily, "Send, send letters, replies to magazine readers' letters, um, go to the magazine."
Zac is off topic, bear with me, our vampires have this virtue, "Reader letter? About this week, the story I met with Louise? Someone wrote to you about this story?"
"Uh, yes." The tone instantly became impatient, and Maddison was also a fickle guy, "but it has nothing to do with you."
"Oh." Zach let Madison off. "Okay, then I'll wait. Let Lyon hurry. At Grand's table, there can be more than one person for lunch today." Zach was talking about today's loneliness. It is also to get the topic back to Madison, no, it is difficult for any normal person to accept. Ghoul's lunch.
Only a low "en" was heard from the receiver.
Zac dialed again, waiting for Harrison.
It was picked up just after the pass, "Zack?" Anxious and expectant tone.
"Come on Grande, you are lucky." In various senses. (To be continued.)
