5 Father Gal
Father Gal was an old man with a ruddy round face, dressed in a black priest's robe, with a rich figure and looking energetic.
The purpose was also very clear, and after hurriing back, he didn't say a few words, and he couldn't wait to ask Bernie about the means of saving the baby.
"You use a special treatment method for holy water?"
"It's supernatural abilities."
"Self-created supernatural abilities?"
"No, it's given by the Holy Spirit." Bernie replied truthfully.
The expectation in the other party's expression was thus restricted, "So there is no way to be learned by others?" β
"Unless anyone encounters the Holy Spirit again."
There is indeed a so-called Holy Spirit empowerment in the church, but this can actually be seen as a flash of inspiration, which is different from what Bernie encountered.
But the "effect" is about the same.
Therefore, Father Gal, despite his suspicious eyes, did not ask much questions.
He wasn't sure if Bernie lied on this, but whether Bernie lied or not, it was clear that he couldn't touch the kind of abilities Bernie was using based on this attitude.
So Father Gal said with emotion: "Since this power is given by the Holy Spirit, then you should cherish it when you use it in the future, but not just anyone is qualified to be helped by the power of the Holy Spirit." β
Bernie nodded, "Of course, I definitely wouldn't use it on some cats and dogs." β
The priest felt that this was a little wrong, but he did not obsess over the topic, but changed the conversation.
"You have just transferred to our diocese from other places, and you have not been exposed to our daily work before, so you should not be very familiar with this aspect, so you should not think about officially performing your duties in the near future."
As he spoke, he had already walked to a bookshelf in the church library, and seeing that Bernie, who was following him, had no objection to this, he added:
"The area I have assigned to you is a residential area of Sail Street and Rotten Fish Wharf, where two assistant deacons are currently working and who are also your assistants in the future.
"But they're busy dealing with the Blood Moon, and they may not be able to return to the church until later, so you can't see them now. Of course, there is no need to rush this, I think this is what you need more than you need to work now. β
The old priest said, gesturing to a few religious books on the shelves.
"The work of judgment is completely different from the work of our church, and our work requires a lot of patience and a great deal of theological attainment, otherwise you yourself will not be able to understand the meaning of the scriptures, and how can you properly spread the light of God to the people?"
He pointed to the Gospel of the Apostles, the Joshua Creed, the Covenant Scriptures, the Sacraments, and theological Q&A......
There are more than ten books, each of which is very thick, and it is difficult for normal people to read it in a short time, let alone be able to understand it.
Bernie didn't have a problem with that, still nodding.
The old priest then said: "As a deacon, you can receive five bottles of holy water zero from the church on the fifteenth of each month, and the fifteenth of this month is just after that, so you can only wait for the next month...... On the transcendent side, I know you've learned both so far, so you can choose one now. β
"What can I choose?"
"Weddings, baptisms, funerals, these are the three main daily tasks of a church deacon, and they are also our three choices here about transcendence." Father Gall replied, and then explained the difference between the three.
The supernatural ability corresponding to the wedding is called Stasi's wish, and the effect is that after using this supernatural ability to officiate the wedding, the fertility of the married parties will be greatly increased within three days, that is, it is easier to conceive children.
The skill corresponding to baptism is also a blessing, the effect is to make the baptized person less likely to get sick for a short time, and it can also be used to detect whether the baptized person is contaminated with dark breath, whether it is the reincarnation of the devil, etc.
The effect of the final funeral is to maintain the atmosphere of the funeral to maintain tranquility and avoid excessive grief.
Bernie didn't intend to be a send-off Kannon, nor did he feel that he needed to use his supernatural abilities to keep the venue calm, so he chose to be baptized.
"If that's the case, then you need to be patient and wait,"
When Bernie had finished speaking of his choice, the old priest said regretfully,
"The logistics of the church are busy at the moment, and the pharmacists are working hard to make medical potions, and only after they have dealt with those urgent matters can they have time to arrange to make your transcendent holy water."
"Then I might be able to switch to a reserve one." Bernie replied seemingly nonchalantly.
The old priest's expression froze.
"Well, yes...... In fact, there is no corresponding transcendent holy water stored in our church. You should understand, Deacon Bernie, that there is no shortage of arrogant people in this world who have no respect for God, and I mean those hateful thieves. β
Bernie let out a sigh and didn't say anything more.
The other party then explained the location of the cafeteria, the daily meal time, working hours, and the rules in the church, etc., and seemed to be very patient.
But this is actually just a look, in fact, Bernie can detect this person's faint rejection of himself in many details.
For example, he was not in a hurry to involve Bernie in the handover work, he was not in a hurry to introduce Bernie to the church personnel, he was not in a hurry to arrange for Bernie to learn the last supernatural ability, and he knew that Bernie was not familiar with church work, but he just asked him to read books......
This didn't surprise Bernie, not to mention that Tracy had already mentioned to him before he came that the local church and Bishop Rhodes were not on the right track.
And he, the deacon personally arranged by Bishop Rhodes, has obviously been regarded as a direct descendant of the bishop by these local church personnel......
Secretly sneering, Bernie finally saluted the old priest on his chest,
"Thank you for your help, Father Gal, and may the light of God envelop you forever."
"I hope God's wisdom will enlighten you."
The old priest nodded in return, and then looked at Bernie's back as he turned away, feeling very depressed.
He was originally going to dry this young man all day, so it could be regarded as a dismount. If it goes well, maybe you can use it to provoke him.
It's not impossible, seventeen or eighteen-year-olds are always easily irritated, especially those who already have a certain level of achievement at a young age.
Unfortunately, this plan did not succeed, but made himself appear quite diligent.
What's even worse is that the healing power that can work on the baby......
The old priest sighed.
If the young man was from his own side, he would certainly not be stingy to let this ability play its due role, and then let the young man shine.
After all, in any case, improving the survival rate of babies in the jurisdiction is also considered a merit of him.
β¦β¦
On the other side, as Bernie walked out of the library, some people in the church came to watch.
They didn't know Father Gall's attitude, so they were puzzled to see Bernie holding a few books and looking ready to leave the church.
"Where is Deacon Bernie going?"
A priest stationed on guard couldn't help but ask.
Due to the previous baptismal events, a limited number of people in the church have already made initial acquaintances with Bernie.
"Father Gal thinks my theological skills need to be strengthened, so I'm going to go back to school."
Bernie raised his hand as he gestured to a gospel book in his hand.
The other party nodded understandingly, "Books are the source of wisdom, may our heavenly gods enlighten you." β
Bernie thanked him, and stepped out of the church door.
Of course, it is impossible to read, and he is ready to go back and continue to finish his unfinished business-
The rune sequence he observed had already been memorized, and he was about to inscribe it in the black mist world.
So to have free time now is actually more about Bernie's thoughts......
But after taking a few steps, he suddenly heard a trivial sound in his ears, and when he turned his head to look, Bernie couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
In the square in front of Morse Church is a fountain of cherubs, carved from marble, with a bottle in his hand and constantly sprinkling water into the pool below.
The fountain is a great attraction and also attracts some white pigeons, which Bernie saw walking around when he arrived.
But now he didn't see a single one.
Instead, I saw a spotted puppy bouncing back and forth in the fountain pool, and the stirring pool was a mess, and the surrounding ground was wet as a result.
This is why the church is currently short of people, otherwise its arrogant appearance would have been beaten a long time ago.
Obviously, it's hard to make such a strange and normal behavior of a dog.
So it wasn't surprising that Bernie saw a line of words on the door of its headβ

β¦β¦
"There are players here."
Muttered secretly, but Bernie wasn't ready to run to take care of it, holding the book and preparing to continue walking.
However, immediately after, a loud voice came from the side-
"Come on, old watch, that NPC is out!"
The sound was not something that could be heard by the locals, and Bernie looked down at the source of the sound and saw that it was a green-haired parrot.
Now it was crouching on a wall facing the square, staring at itself without blinking, and the bubbles representing voice messages on the door of its head kept emerging.
"Look at you, I'll just say that this guy is the NPC in that video, except for the different clothes, everything is the same!"
"Let me see, let me see!"
The dog in the pool came running around several times, regardless of how peculiar his behavior was, and circled Bernie several times, leaving a large water stain along the way.
"It's really him, old watch, we're getting rich this time!"
"yes, I'll just say I'm not mistaken!"
The parrot grinned, flapped its wings and flew to Bernie's feet, then looked up and said hello,
"Hello!"
Looking down at the other person, Bernie didn't respond.
"Hello!" The parrot with his head held high said again, and saluted by the way.
"Don't just say hello, old watch, come on something else."
The dog crouched beside him to make a move, looking like Bernie was a wooden man.
"That stupid fork only taught me two words, and I can't say anything else."
The parrot tilted its head and glanced at it, then turned back to Bernie and said hello again.
"What's the second sentence?"
"Fuck you."
"Why the hell are you scolding the Master?"
"I mean, the second sentence is to fuck your mother."
"Damn, then how are we going to take the task?"
"What do you want, old watch, do you still want to take on tasks like this? Let's talk about it first. β
The green-haired parrot replied, turning to look at Bernie, blinking his head and making a cute appearance.
"Hello!"
