The church of the Holy Child in the afternoon was quiet and dreary, well, as if it weren't like any other time. The church, sandwiched between the funeral home and the prison, looks like an abandoned at all times, and no one comes here to show their faith.

But the Church of the Holy Son is indeed much better than it used to be, with donations at several funerals in the West End, the 'blessing' of the accident that all churches in Tobaton have experienced before, and the restoration of the church once, oh yes, a wedding. This place is much more alive than it used to be.

Of course, you have to ignore the demons who sweep the floor and clean the windows of the nuns, and the gates of hell and fallen angels that occasionally pop out of their mouths.

A nun walked into the priest's office, accompanied by some demon, "Father, the flowers sent by Mr. Fisher have arrived, are we arranging them now or are we waiting for tomorrow's funeral (Lang's funeral)?"

Konstantin glanced at Zack, who had been absent-minded since he arrived, behind his desk, and waved his hand, "Today, I don't want to be in a hurry tomorrow." ”

The nun bowed and left, and Konstantin looked back at Zach and pursed his lips and continued with what he was talking about, "...... My research is only on demons, and to be honest, I don't know if other soul aliens apply, let alone dream demons. If the Soul Alien Race has the same 'human' population management system as the Human Race, I think the Dream Demon should be the rarest race in this world, and we don't know much about them as well as other Alien Races, I think ......"

Konstantin stopped talking, tapped his fingers lightly on the office desk, and pursed his lips to look at Zack, "Zach, are you listening?"

"I'm sorry. Zach apologized very honestly and adjusted his sitting. "I'm distracted. ”

Konstantin shook his head helplessly, regained Zack's attention, and continued, "Now plus the soul walker, an equally rare, uh......" Konstantin frowned. Race is not suitable to describe soul walkers, it is something that does not have a 'species' and cannot become a 'race', "There is a small probability, I really don't think it's a good idea, Zack, I think they should just leave it ...... and let them fend for themselves"

Konstantin was helpless to find that our vampire was distracted," Zach. Hey, are you still here?"

"I'm sorry. Zach's apology is the same as his thanks for the compliments. "I'm ...... by other things." Something distracted. Please, continue. ”

"There's nothing more to continue. "It's not Father Constantine's careful eye, if Zach listens carefully, he should know that there really is nothing left to continue," let that soul walker, well, call Sloan, right. Let him come, I can help him. Teach him, but I can't make any commitments. Even if I don't consider whether my research is applicable to the Dream Demon, the unknown identity of those unknown people who are also tracking the Dream Demon will still be a hidden danger. ”

Zach nodded, still distracted, "Sloan is back at Barton to see Lip again." Revealing the identity I have been hiding is respectable, and I just try to help. ”

Zach smiled a little, and said that he had come to Barton to see someone again, and Father Constantine had that too. You haven't forgotten Seth, "How's Mason doing?" Uh, Zack's train of thought is always ahead of ordinary people, and Seth's topic will be heavy, so he asked Seth's container.

"Average. Konstantin accepted Zack's intimacy and smiled, "After all, demons and witches and hunters are the same kind of people, just because they realize that there are other ordinary people in this world who ignore things, do what they can, and try to do something human, the so-called third type of alien race (people with special abilities) is just a label, and we are all just human beings." ”

"Well, that sounds ......," Zach raised an eyebrow, "you're disgusted that he doesn't have enough talent." "Isn't it, 'do what people can', 'try', the context is there.

"Huh. Konstantin tilted his head, "Probably, or maybe I'm just not a good teacher and expect too much from my students." Konstantin suddenly raised an eyebrow, "Speaking of teachers, Taylor has been a little irritable lately. ”

Taylor, a teacher at the Holy Lord College with a background in the western military, and Kyle have a legitimate teacher-student relationship.

"What's wrong?" Zach was a little curious, supposedly the summer vacation was coming to an end, and Kyle and Taylor had finished their so-called vacation practice and should be back at the Western Academy. But Zach also knew from Kyle that the two of them would not go back and would stay at Barton, which was something they had planned when they first came to Barton.

It's just that at this point in time, Taylor was said by Konstantin to be a little irritable, could something have happened?

"It's because of Kyle. "When talking about business, the other party is always distracted, and when talking about gossip, the other party is very positive. Konstantin could only follow Zach's inexplicable rhythm, "Something seems to have happened in the West End, Kyle's social practice has been hindered a bit, and there is something wrong with his name in the West End." ”

"Name?" Zach nodded immediately, and Lola seemed to mention that the children of their West End all wore the name of honorary parishioners in the church, and the family would occasionally make donations in their names to maintain this name.

"Yes. Konstantin didn't have much to say about it, "You probably know that graduating from a religious college like Kyle will be assigned to the church as a clergyman in the future, and with his background, at least as a priest." ”

Zach tilted his head, and he began to guess what the problem was.

The priest or something is definitely not the path that the Barton family envisioned for Kyle, at least not Kyle and Lola's father. You should remember how Kyle, who once dreamed of becoming a rugby player and worked hard for it, embarked on this 'exotic' path.

Kyle was sent to the Religious Institute in the West to punish and discipline! Not to let Kyle know about witchers, vampires, and demons...... Well, the elders of the Barton family probably don't know that these things exist, but they definitely don't want the Barton family to have a servant of faith!

"Did the Pattons do something?" asked Zach tentatively.

They withdrew Kyle's donation and forced the church to be removed. Konstantin actually used a gossipy tone.

"Uh......" Zach blinked, "can they do that? Crowley allowed this to happen?"

Konstantin waved his hand, "This has nothing to do with Crowley's permission, she controls the church, and the church is for the people of the West End. It's just a place to give money for a false name. If the people of the West Side refuse to accept the fame and honor that the church can give, can Crowley send it to others' faces? "No, you can't.

Zach frowned, Constantine's words were so straightforward, the honor given by faith was a false name, so straightforward that he was embarrassed to look at the priest's outfit on his body......

Konstantin sighed and drew a cross on his chest. For the words just said 'atonement', we will not pursue sincerity," Hearing Taylor, the Patton family used a very ...... strange tone, "'bad' means. Kyle's sister Lola, you know about the nursery project. ”

Zach nodded, he knew all too well.

It is said that in this public welfare project, the families in the western district did not help these children financially, except for their own family resources. The only funds were spent by Kyle from the church. ”

Zach pursed his lips and thought, yes, Lola mentioned it a few times.

"I heard that someone commented that the Barton family was cheating, putting the money in the church, and then the people in their own family took it out to do things. Church donations, which exist in good faith, have become a means for the West End family to avoid taxes and working capital. It's blasphemy. ”

Zach's eyebrows were raised, no wonder Konstantin's tone was weird. Is it necessary for the Barton family to blacken themselves for the sake of purpose?

"Barton, don't think so. Zach glanced at Constantine and said something familiar.

"I won't know. Konstantin drew a cross again, "but it had already happened, and the Patton family withdrew their funding for the church, citing the exclusion of suspicion." Asking the church side of the West Side to remove the Patton family's honor in the church, to prove themselves, or something else, has happened. After all, Taylor is still a teacher in the academy, and his student's future has such a problem. She's very, well, agitated. I've been running in the West Side for the past few days, trying to fix something. ”

Listening to Konstantin's tone, he didn't seem to expect much from it.

Zach thought of something else, why Kyle had such a thing, and Lola didn't mention it. Soon, Zach shook his head helplessly, remember, Lola was the first person to oppose her brother becoming a clergy! She was probably glad that this kind of thing had happened! But she felt that it was not a good thing after all, and she was embarrassed to say it!

"You just said 'comment'. Zach raised his eyebrows and grabbed another important point, "Where are the comments, newspapers, and news reports about the Nursery program all positive, and I haven't seen this kind of negative content?"

Konstantin nodded, "I am also very supportive of this public welfare project, and I will feel relieved to see some reports in the news, Lola is a good girl." The priest sighed, "I heard Taylor mention that this comment is rumor-like, and it is said that it spread among the guests at a banquet in the West End. ”

Banquet.

"Fortunately, it's a banquet in the West End. Konstantin's expression could not be said to be relieved or the opposite, things were very inexplicable, and when the truth was not clear, people's attitudes became blurred and ambiguous, "Rumors will only be limited to people, and they will not be put on the table." ”

There was a brief silence, and both of them were thinking about something.

Konstantin smiled, breaking the thought that was useless to both of them, just a gossip, "The situation on my side is pretty much over, what about you, neighbor, hehe, is there anything interesting to tell me?" ”

Konstantin nodded intimately, "For example, the security company of the cemetery, a few days ago, I was a little annoyed by their harassment. ”

Zach was a little confused, "Are those security guards bothering the church?"

"Huh. Konstantin waved his hand, "Just kidding, I'm glad that Grande is getting more and more regulated." It's just that now I want to visit the cemetery occasionally, and I have to register, and I don't have the freedom I used to have. ”

"yes. Zach actually shook his head, looking thoughtful, "I found out too." "(Matthew and Sloan were asked to register) but what Zach was really thinking about wasn't this, but something else that was a little uncomfortable, Sloane said, where Saidil Security was working together, there would be an accident and make room for Aix Security. Come to think of it, this is a very difficult thing for Grande's master.

"You're distracted again. Konstantin smiled helplessly, well, this conversation can't go on. The guy who is a guest only focuses on the host's gossip, and as soon as the topic comes to the guest, he gets distracted, how can he continue?" "I believe you still have a lot of things to do, so I won't leave you." Konstantin smiled and stood up, he naturally didn't mind that Zack's mind was occupied by other things, as a neighbor, he knew Grande's attributes, such a 'home', if the owner had nothing to think about, it would be over.

Zach stood up apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm a little absent-minded because of a lot of things that have happened lately. ”

Konstantin shook his head and smiled comfortingly, "It's okay, oh yes, the nuns asked me to tell Louise, she rarely comes lately, she can come and sit when she has time, they are sometimes surrounded by demons every day and need a personal conversation." ”

Zach smiled a little strangely, "Louise, well, Louise may not be able to go out these days." ”

"Well?" Konstantin had a concerned look on his face, "Is it sick? I can let the nuns visit......" Seeing Zach's face getting more and more strange, Konstantin blinked, "Oh! Then it turned into a smile, "Congratulations." ”

Zach also smiled gratefully, "Thank you, you're the only one to congratulate you, and I'm grateful that you, a priest, are willing to give such a positive comment." ”

"It's nothing. Konstantin crossed and said, "I'm just a priest, not a holy lord who decides what is negative." "Yes, Constantine is the one who opposes the witcher's self-righteous judgment of faith! His research aims to recreate the judgment of faith and return the judgment of the demon to the Holy Lord, not lynching as a witcher!

So for vampires, Constantine doesn't judge vampires as punishment for the faith of the Holy Lord, he only approves of-

"Louise is a nice girl, I can't imagine that she is just a human staying in Grande, carefully fighting for her place (Louise first came to Grande, only had the identity of 'Zack's woman', everything she did in Grande, including her work and old Hank's respect, was earned by herself). It's not fair to her, hehe, you know she deserves better. Now, at least, she has a new beginning. ”

Zach smiled genuinely, "Oh, Father, it's a pleasure to talk to you. ”

"Hmph. Konstantin shook his head with a smile, ignoring Zach anymore, "It would be more enjoyable if you didn't get distracted." Okay, let's go, I'm going to see what I'm going to do tomorrow too. ”

Zach nodded helplessly, yes, it would be nice if he didn't get distracted. But...... (To be continued.) )
