♂！

Zach had already left Paising, and the last leg of the stroll was over, heading back to Grande......

"What are you messing around in the city, looking for you for a long time. ”

Zach turned back, and it was Jessica, the fallen angel. This complaint came inexplicably, except for Grande, the only one who knew that Zach was back was Zack's fallen angel who returned his wings. Naturally, Zach felt that he didn't need to notify the fallen angels when he sent out the 'I'm back' walk, so he didn't get close to Mary's Church at all.

"What's wrong?" maintained the pace of walking.

"Didn't I say I'll look for you again on the phone? Jessica took two steps and twisted her shoulders, as if she wasn't quite comfortable with the 'body part' of return.

"Oh. "I didn't expect you to be looking for me so soon." ”

"Me too. Jessica frowned, "I have something important to discuss with you." ”

"Please. Zach felt that walking should not affect the communication between the two.

Jessica hesitated, "Forget it." "It's not a big deal, and he began to say, "The fallen angel you and Sbella brought back has been restored and is temporarily living in Mary's Chapel. ”

'Live', combined with Barton's consistent style, should mean possessing someone and having a legal identity in Barton.

Zach didn't feel like he needed to be told anything about this kind of thing, the mayor was Anthony, not him.

"When the gates of hell opened, we had twenty-four 'brothers and sisters'. Beware that Zach doesn't understand the analogy, "Twenty-four fallen angels, competing for twenty-four hours of the day on earth." ”

Zach glanced sideways at Jessica, didn't comment, only gave a look for Jessica to experience for herself.

Jessica understood Zach's gaze and tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Thank you for not being sarcastic." "Thanks, indeed, because—" We failed so completely, and it was just me, who grabbed five seconds. "Look around," in this small city in the eastern part of the Federation. ”

Got it. The goal is twenty-four hours, and the result is five seconds. The fallen angels are really pitiful and sympathetic.

Zach still didn't speak, this is all outdated information, at most it just adds to the premise. Zach hadn't heard why Jessica wanted to talk to him at this point.

"Our twenty-four fallen angels were once the highest-ranking angels. "It may not be surprising to some people that the Holy Lord's Faith, as a religion that has been teaching believers what they can and cannot do in its doctrine, is the highest ranking angel in the faith in the system of the essential system, and the teaching angel who is the educator is the highest rank in the faith. And now Jessica wants to express that as the most powerful angel ever, after falling into a demon, he is also the most powerful, and he was given the heavy responsibility of competing for real time when the gates of hell opened, "For the past year, I thought I was the only survivor, until, you and Sbella found him. Of our twenty-four fallen angels, two are still alive now. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, feeling that he wouldn't be happy with the direction in which Jessica's words were going.

Really. Jessica looked at Zach's face, "We want to make that number a little bigger." And you. Frowning, pointing to the corners of Zach's raised eyebrows, "Now this expression makes me very sad." ”

Zach lowered his raised eyebrows, "What are you sad about?"

"I can feel that you regret giving back my wings, you think, I have strength, and I am starting to get restless. Jessica said.

"I ......," Zach tilted his head, not ready to deny it, "I do." Shaking his head again, "You know that Sibella and I were just lucky to find that fallen angel." ”

"There is no 'luck' in this world. Only facts. Jessica shook her head, "And the truth is, I still have my compatriots alive in the Federation. We may not expect all twenty-four fallen angels to be alive, but. "Firm," Sirila told me, and in the middle of the city, hunters had discovered the fact that several churches that had had been in accidents had been slow to rebuild. It's just that the hunters can't find out why it's just because of the chaos in the middle. ”

Zach pursed his lips. Hey, that's outdated news, isn't it, in that town that cheats travelers' money, Sbella said the same thing to Zack.

"And if I'm right, under every church that can't be rebuilt, hides a fallen angel who is trying to stifle the demonic influence of the present world even after defeat, my fellow citizens. Jessica didn't look at Zach and looked straight ahead. It's a determined look.

"Then I guess......" Zach shook his head again, "you're not trying to discuss anything with me, just to tell me the fact that you're going to save your people, are you?" ”

"You can think so. Jessica nodded, rolled her eyes, withdrew her determined eyes, and looked at Zach, "I still have something to discuss with you, I don't want to die, if I want to do this, I need your help." ”

"Oh. Zach looked surprised, "How can I help you, do I want to give you an extra pair of wings?" Yes, Zack was sarcastic, and the object of sarcasm included himself - he shouldn't have given the wings back to Jessica all the time.

Wait a minute, what do we see? Zach and the Fallen Angel have a true friendship? Zack is genuinely worried about the Fallen Angel's decision?

Uh, no. Zach was just very realistic about one thing, if Jessica was gone, hung up, or whatever else would have caused the unfortunate event that would have caused her to be absent from Barton. So, who will take over the deal that the fallen angel who has always had access to hell at Barton, which was made with the saints?

So, the question is, is he or she so sensible as Jessica~

Zach can't be confirmed, because in the future, hehe, in the future, Zach will definitely not be here to help Patton who is the mayor and train that successor.

"Nope. Jessica simply denied Zack's ridicule, "You don't have to do the extra wings, every time you save a fallen angel, the wings will naturally come out." Raise your hand and point up, "In heaven." ”

Zach frowned, he understood something, "So, it's not just you who want to save your compatriots, but also the Newton Angel Crowley, the high-ranking angel who wants to increase the heavens. ”

Each fallen angel corresponds to an angel who can be 'reborn' by a shadow man, in heaven.

Jessica nodded, "It's only a matter of time before Crowley makes this request to you, and I don't want to be later than her." "Glancing at Zack, this can be regarded as a little 'mortal heart'" The purpose is that you help me, more than you help her, to make me more comfortable. ”

You know. The direction and implementation of the event are the same, but the two parties are located at two levels, and the purpose is different. And Zack, the guy who helped, started to act for whom, which is something worth caring about.

Zach wanted to sigh, "I'm not going to say anything fleshy, but seriously, what can I do to help you or Crowley? Do you want to go out for a walk?" Zach shook his head directly, "It's better to go to the middle, no, something that can't happen." ”

"I don't need you to go out. Jessica actually relaxed her face, because according to Zack's context at this time, it seems that as long as he convinces Zack that he doesn't have to go to the middle, there will be a drama in this matter. "What is needed is for the vampire aliens in the center to stop hiding and start moving on the ground. ”

Zach realized that the meaning of his context was conveying, and that it was impossible to redeem it, and decided to be quiet for the time being. Since Jessica has come to find her, she should already have a feasible idea. Let's listen to it.

"The time competition in this world, and the territorial ...... of the Federation," Jessica pouted, "I don't know if you can understand it, I'll try to explain - the correspondence of time and geography does not belong to the knowledge that can be obtained in hell, and there is no possibility that we know in advance which village this minute belongs to, and which city this hour belongs to." What we are competing for is time, and what we gain is the geography that time has given us. ”

Zach was a little offended, offended for all the citizens of Barton - "You mean to say that Barton City is only worthy of five seconds under the Hell's Gate?"

After all, that's what fallen angels mean, isn't it, they compete for time in hell, and when they come out, they are wherever they are.

Jessica unexpectedly glanced at Zach with some indifference, "After Newton's demons were completely destroyed, Barton became five minutes. ”

Uh, is that consolation? In the unknown criteria of Hell's gates, Barton, uh, has gone up!

Not only comfort, but also absolute affirmation, "And as you know before, these five minutes were given by the Angel Newton." Jessica waved her hand, "If I knew enough about coaching Angel Crowley...... "who she used to be," I wouldn't be surprised that the angel had turned off part of Barton's time, five minutes, and she had the rest. ”

So Barton is worth more than five minutes. Awesome.

Jessica continued, "When you left Barton and went west, Barton's Hell's Gate time changed a few more times. ”

Zach looked at Jessica, curious, and surprised.

"Sometimes it's a few seconds, sometimes it's minutes. Jessica responded to Zach's curiosity, "Start with five minutes, five minutes and seconds, six minutes, eight minutes, ten minutes...... "Jessica had better not enumerate all the processes of change and waste words," The reason for this change is obviously because the news of your departure from Barton has been exposed. "Good, Jessica didn't enumerate," hasn't changed in the nearly week you've been in the West. "It's not over," and then, as you start your journey back, the changes start to get drastic. "The last time the time changed, just half an hour before I called Grande. "Deliberate pause," eight hours. ”

Zach didn't react. is not sure what that means.

Jessica rolled her eyes at the right time, "Patton's hell gate time is sixteen hours now. ”

Zach still didn't realize how he was going to react - uh, sixteen hours was terrifying for five seconds, but how would you make a vampire react to it, happy?sad, or would the Lord be satisfied with his creation at all?" And then?" So, Zach asked tentatively.

"And then?" Jessica repeated, "if the Gates of Hell spend a lot of time gathered here at Barton, you don't have to understand the time relationship between reality and Hell, you just have to think about how many angry demon lords there are outside of Patton!"

"Oh. Zach knew how to react, "I guess a lot, a lot. ”

Roll the eyes, "It's all." Jessica shook her head, "Except for Barton's me, all the demons who have come to this world!"

"I killed some on the way back~" Zach smiled and shook the thimble in his hand.

"Yes, but not enough. Jessica tilted her head, "You may be in the eastern city." Speechlessly, he rolled his eyes, "On the way back you run, open a path to clear the demons." But there's only one road, and you've passed through several cities on the eastern side. And what about the central ones? What about the western ones?"

"The demons of the west have left the west. Zach gave a fact.

"It makes no difference. As long as the Cerberus is still dragging souls into Hell and bringing souls into Hell during the opening time of the Gates of Hell that does not belong to that city, the Demon Lord who was in charge of the Gates of Hell for that time has lost these souls. Jessica sighed, "This was Barton's disadvantage, and I needed to allocate my five seconds very carefully, lest Barton's soul go into the time controlled by the other demons in Hell. Right now. "Helpless," this is still Barton's disadvantage. "The hypocrisy of the typical rich man?" we had sixteen hours. Almost at any moment, souls from all over the Federation enter my time of controlling hell. We have fallen angels, and there is little human power to judge whether these souls deserve to live in hell, and we can only passively accept these souls. Our burden has become a place where all the demons out there hate us!"

Zach shrugged his shoulders, unable to comment, only, "So, you mean, as a fallen angel, as long as you get out of Barton, you must ......"

was robbed by Jessica, "Died very miserably." ”

Zach nodded and answered, "And those vampire aliens in the middle can help you?"

"They can. Jessica was sure, "The hunters of Sbella have information about the Middle Church, but the hunters can't be counted on, every city they go to leaves a trace of 'Colt', and it's too risky to return to the city they've been." ”

Zach agreed, "Then, the only alien races that can be used in the middle are foreign vampires." Then he shook his head, "But the ecology of the vampires of the foreign races in the middle brought back by Nophile is very bad, and they are very badly targeted by the alien races suppressed by the rebound Hidden Alliance. Including Nophile, before coming to Barton, they could only operate in secret. "Remember, Dora sells blood in an abandoned subway station.

"But Toledo's clan has an even greater temptation for these foreign vampires!" Jessica stared at Zach, "No." Your Charlie, is proof of that. As long as you are willing to release Toredo's trust and commitment again, I am sure that those foreign vampires will come out for their eternal future. ”

"I don't need so many descendants of Toredo who don't meet my requirements. Zach said calmly, because, that's the principle.

"Then use your status as a vampire of the Demon Feast. "Heh, sure enough, Jessica has thought it all through, "Most of those foreign vampires in the middle of the country should be made by the original Hidden Alliance." An alliance made them and then brought them disaster without doing them any good. On the other hand, the Demon Feast, your former secret member, and your current membership of the Demon Feast, give these foreign vampires a new ......"

Zach interrupted, his eyes shining, "I'll think about it~"
