As everyone began to leave, Austin's phone call came.

"Hehe, I knew that Mr. Grande you would still look for me, so let's do it, I already had the last renovation of Grande's building distribution, this time I directly got the design plan, and then how about coming over?"

Of course, Zach had no opinion, and glanced at Father Constantine, who had entered the office late, "Now there are nine employees outside the Grande. Zach was talking about the cemetery guard, "Since I decided to build a living area for employees, I don't want to make it too narrow." You design it according to the specifications of twenty people. ”

The earpiece was stunned, and then laughed, "Understood, the most important thing is the development space." He once said that Grande was the symbol of Barton's funeral industry, and it was this Austen, so he understood quickly, "Hehe, don't worry, I'll call you when it's designed." ”

Putting down the phone, he looked at Konstantin with a smile, "The funeral home thing." ”

Konstantin didn't smile, and looked at Zach with some confusion, "Are you going to build a staff living area here in Grande?"

Zach replied in a final manner, "Old Hank hopes." ”

There's no need to say more.

Konstantin shook his head slightly, and then there was a helpless smile on his face, and he changed the topic, "It looks like I'm late, and you've finished discussing it." He shook his head again, still helpless, "My strength as a demon hunter seems to have been ignored by you. ”

Zach shrugged his shoulders and was comforted, "The power of demons and angels has been ignored. Zach certainly wouldn't say anything about Sbella and Sissi, questioning Konstantin and Taylor's position. It's good that Konstantin is late.

"Huh. Konstantin nodded, "Understandable. So, what are you going to do?"

"The wizards and hunters on Sbela's side will start scouting and preparing traps at the border. Zach waved his hand, "You know the habits of wizards and hunters, they don't fight unprepared battles. ”

"It's a good habit. Konstantin smiled, not caring that he was being ignored.

"Saints. Zach smiled and shook his head, "Let me remember to call her then." "Sissi's confidence knows no time and place. "As for the vampires, we're tasked with logistics for Sibella right now. "Laugh," said Sbella, who didn't let this opportunity to scavenge for our blood slip away. "Literally blood.

Konstantin also laughed, "If the battle is going to take place in the full moon cycle, they really need some security, after all, we are still humans." Hehe, but now Barton, only Ramer, Gangero, you, Konstantin began to count his fingers, and the ten fingers were not fully erected, "Can you support the healing of the entire group of wizard hunters? ”

This seems to be a concern about the blood of vampires with healing powers, and there may be an imbalance between supply and demand, but it is actually a reminder that Grande seems to be in full swing and does not respond to everything. But the reality is here, Toledo, only Zach and Louise, werewolves only Benjamin and Matthew, forces other than Grande, Ramer has three, Gangero has five, Saints one, Angel three. Aside from the demonic forces that were useless against this defensive invasion, the largest number of them were the wizards on the side of Sbella.

Face Ford has said that there have been a lot of Indians recently.

"It's all wizards who have nowhere to go, who have been abandoned by their families. That's Zach's answer, and then back to the point, "It's a little difficult to provide for them, but we also have Alice and Maya, and the Black Witch in Newton, which is our biggest dependence." Zach smiled, meaning, as long as there are no deaths, enough, "It's really not good, I still have the 'general' in the southeast." ”

"By the way, speaking of 'General'. Konstantin smiled uncertainly, "Mason said that the 'General' had turned a few of his resurrected men into vampires. ”

"I know. Zach pointed to today's newspaper and shook his head, "Blood pressure 300?" Zach didn't explain much when he read the newspaper, but now, you can think about how to keep your blood pressure up to 300, well, it should be the same as stuffing a pot of rice into a stomach that can only hold a bowl of rice.

Zach paused, "But he didn't come to me, I thought." Raise an eyebrow, "He should still be in control." Suffice it for me to remind you. Then he smiled, "I'm talking about the people who still have you, and Mason and Britz are watching over there, and I'm relieved." ”

Konstantin crossed his chest, then nodded with a smile, "The situation is still under control now." Looking at the desk for a while, all the emotions before were removed, and he became serious, "Can we talk about Monday's funeral?" ”

Yes, the low-key witcher's funeral has been scheduled for Monday, and after Zach and George talked yesterday, Louise returned to the funeral, and then went to the Church of the Holy Child to make arrangements. So at this time, Konstantin already knew that in Patton, it turned out that he still had low-key companions.

Konstantin mentioned this incident, which was expected, so Zach was also very direct, "Do you want to see it with your own eyes, the body is now in Grande's basement because it is going to prepare for the pre-cremation ceremony." ”

Konstantin frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded.

Needless to say, Zach got up and led the way, out of Grande, detoured to the basement door on the east side, and went down.

After opening the corpse cabinet where the corpse was stored, he directly took out the information in the filing cabinet, and the name of the witcher who looked very old was not to be said, "...... If you die in the hospital, you should go very peacefully. His son, George, also said that the trial of faith was going on quickly and that he should have no pain. ”

Konstantin stared at the pale corpse. The corpse was intact and there were no autopsy wounds - not required for natural death. Objectively speaking, it is convenient for Grande to tidy up and groom.

"I know him. Konstantin spoke, "He used to be my teacher for a while. ”

If Zack's understanding of the witcher is not wrong, the teacher-student relationship that Konstantin said at this point does not make any sense. The learning process of the witcher will go through many teachers, and the reason is that the teacher one day may go to hell the next. A long time ago, probably before Zach was born, in order not to let this bad mood affect the growth of the witcher, the inheritance of cultivating the witcher was prescribed to be in a state of constantly changing teachers.

George also said that in the last year, his thinking was not very clear, he did not know much about what happened to Barton, and he lived a very stable life. Zach used the tone of a funeral professional, telling the facts without personal feelings, of course, comforting facts, "So, he lived a very happy life." That is, he served his faith, adhered to his own path, completed the work of the witcher, and in the last part of his life, paved the way for a peaceful life for his descendants. ”

The basement was quiet for a while, a little cool, and the freezer was emitting white fog.

"One will take for granted that such a good life ......," Konstantin spoke, "and will go to heaven." "Can't a priest have personal feelings, of course?

Zach didn't speak. People will also take it for granted that the priest is the one who comforts everyone, and who comforts the priest who has emotions. This great duty, which the vampire of the Lord's faith cannot bear, is the work of the Lord, who the priest claims to be able to listen to the Word.

Konstantin himself shook his head, "I'm right. Putting back the last vestige of the white cloth that had given the deceased privacy, he pushed back the corpse cabinet and looked at Zack, "The witcher's philosophy has always been wrong, the cause and effect of the world should not be like this, it is wrong to serve the faith that is firmly believed, but in the end the sinner who becomes the faith is condemned to hell. So I researched ways to summon faith judgment and left the West. ”

"Can I say something. Zach spoke anyway, not comfortingly.

Konstantin nodded.

"You probably won't like what I say. Zach also put back the deceased's information and looked at Konstantin seriously, "I don't think you're right. ”

Konstantin frowned.

"......In the Lord's Faith," Zach began pacing.

Zach wasn't really a follower of the Holy Lord, perhaps a primitive vampire, but it was a bit of a pretension to maintain the faith from the time the vampires began to treat their punishment of eternal life as racial pride.

It needs to be clarified.

The Demon Feast did not maintain the faith, all they wanted to maintain was the Lord's giving. Because of the colonization work, the thirteen clans can walk in the daytime, so what can they gain if they complete this work? Although it is impossible to know, but maintaining the trust of the Holy Lord, in the future, maybe what else can be gained, isn't it.

In a sense, I'm one of the vampires who are retired and have nothing to do but go to church every week to hear sermons to pass the time, but I'm not really there, can you understand?

“...... I don't think the Witcher profession should exist. Zach raised his hand, temporarily stopping Konstantin from opening his mouth, "Following the guidance of the priest and becoming a believer is certainly the way to join the faith of the Holy Lord, but it is not the only one. People will have the myth that all believers will go to heaven, but Konstantin, you know it's wrong. Every time you say that the Lord will forgive you, it is false, you have no right to forgive anyone on behalf of the Holy Lord, you are just a human being, not a saint, not an angel. ”

Konstantin pursed his lips.

But you still say that to those who have repented, because you are a priest, and that is the job. Your job is to spread doctrine and make people believe, even if it is deception. Zach shook his head to himself, "The deception is too serious, in fact, we all know that the priest is a master of shifting the intersection, you don't need to deceive anything, just divert the attention of the person who needs comfort, and make the other person feel comforted." Just like the priest comforting Matthew's father, the problem was that he didn't have a job and was a drag on his family, but in the end he was comforted by the fact that he was a good father and had a good son.

Zach didn't want to be sarcastic, so he said it very bluntly, "The job of the clergy is to preach and get people to believe." It was the Lord who gave you this work, and you did it well. Well, the question I'm going to ask now is, who gave people the job of banishing and hunting the demons of this world. ”

Konstantin frowned and did not speak.

"Whether it is heaven or hell, if you enter it, you are already the soul of the faith of the Holy Lord, and there is no difference in faith. "No, heaven is believed in by the Holy Lord, and so is Hell, why does the Holy Lord care about where people go, isn't it all his? The Holy Lord at the top of the faith, according to Sibella, the faith of the Holy Lord is the faith of stealing souls in this world, and it can never be valued by the belief in witchcraft that believes in nature. "Angels have come, and you think it is good, because they can guide people to heaven, but demons, you think they are bad, because they are here to tempt people to hell." They all bring people's souls into the place of belonging, but they are treated differently. Why. ”

"Because people want the future to be good. Konstantin bowed his head, "Since faith is divided into two poles, then people have the right to expect that they belong to the good side." ”

"Then who gave the witchers the right to respond to this expectation. Zach followed closely, "I'm pretty sure the Holy Lord didn't do that, otherwise, the witcher wouldn't have been condemned to hell directly." Whoever is that, not the Lord of the clergy, who else can give you that right. ”

Konstantin frowned tightly and looked up at Zach, "No one. It's what we feel we need to do, because we're human. ”

"So it's a sacrifice. Zach nodded, "Sacrifice your own expectations to respond to the expectations of others, to cast out demons, and to increase the chances of believers going to heaven." ”

Konstantin's expression had turned strange, and he began to figure out Zach's direction.

"Like the Son, sacrificing himself. Zach continued to nod, "But it's not like the Holy Son, who sacrificed himself for the sake of faith, and you are sacrificed for the good expectations of others, that is not the faith of the Holy Lord, it is simple, human desire." ”

Zach looked at Konstantin, "The Holy Lord loves people, no, the Holy Lord loves people's souls. The whole faith of the Holy Lord is built on the soul. I probably shouldn't say such things to a priest, but the Holy Lord doesn't care about the expectations of human beings, and the Holy Lord created hell in the hope that there will be souls in it, otherwise why create hell? Demons have never been the enemy of man, they are part of the faith of the Holy Lord, and they are a growth direction for the soul of the Holy Lord's faith. Whether it is a judgment or a demon who is tempted to enter, it is a soul that belongs to the faith of the Holy Lord. The tragedy of the Demon Hunter is not that you have crossed the line and tried to judge the demons as human beings, but that you have put aside your insistence on faith and turned your back on this bipolar system created by the Holy Lord himself, putting people's expectations at the highest level, and even willing to sacrifice yourself. You have stood in a place that displeased the Holy Lord. (To be continued.) )
