Zach wanted Angel Harrison to be more specific, "Can you give me an example?" about the situation in the Republic. It’s not that Zach really has anything to do with the continent on the other side of the world, it’s just because of Louise.
Angel Harrison thought for a while and said, "Today is church." For an angel, he was struggling with his body today, so he probably had some bad emotions. “At Republic, we also try to plan worship services for our worshipers.”
Zach did not express his opinion immediately, because in the Federation, there was no preparation for such activities as 'worship'. Tsk, it’s not the kind of preparation that some people will take bath and dress before attending a service. It’s the religious ritual activity itself, which requires no preparation.
Because this event will inevitably happen once a week, which is a habit of the entire federal society. Obviously, in the Republic, this necessity no longer exists.
"The venue is a problem." Angel Harrison's voice was quite calm. "Although the Republic has begun to have churches this year, the location is incomparable to the situation in the Federation. The location in the center of the city is too expensive and we can't afford it. Places in the suburbs are not popular.”
Zach imagined it and roughly felt the helplessness of an angel preaching in a foreign country. He nodded sympathetically.
Angel Harrison suddenly laughed, "Haha, let me tell you an interesting thing. We usually call Sunday Sunday, right?"
Zach gave a grunt.
"Sunday, as a religious term, was misunderstood by the republicans when we preached. He thought that Sunday was Sunday. Then they called Monday Monday, and Tuesday was Tuesday..."
Zach's first reaction? "Are the Republicans so pious that they worship seven days a week?" After saying this, Zach knew he was being funny, and he laughed along with Angel Harrison and waved his hand, "This is probably a misunderstanding caused in the process of cultural transmission. "
"Yes." Angel Harrison smiled, "I can face such misunderstandings peacefully now, but you have to imagine how our angels felt when we first heard this statement on Monday."
Zach nodded, "The Holy Lord has prescribed one day a week for rest, which is the Sabbath. This day is used for worship, which is faith in the Holy Lord. But using it for rest every day is disrespectful. People in this world, After all, you have to work, live, and accumulate soul marks..." This is not the first time we have seen Zach's objective belief in the Holy Lord, "Let the soul grow~"
Yes, seven days a week, six days, humans are invited to cultivate their souls, and on the seventh day, humans are invited to worship the object to which humans should dedicate their souls. This is the faith of the Holy Lord.
Angel Harrison nodded, "It's really difficult. Then you add the aliens of the republican culture to these cultural misunderstandings, those republican 'gods'."
Zach raised his hand and touched his chin, "Do you mean in terms of prayer?"
Angel Harrison maintained a peaceful smile, "Yes, the correct way for our Holy Lord to pray is to thank the Holy Lord for allowing the praying humans to have food, love, and everything they need in life. Finally, may the praying believers They go to heaven after death. Prayer, in the commonwealth we are accustomed to, is thanksgiving for faith."
Zach already had some premonitions. Thanks to Mo, when he lived in Grande, he explained to Zach the 'prayer' of the Republicans, "And the Republicans will not thank 'gods'. Their prayers are true." Praying, they want more wealth, better friends, better food, more descendants, and more beautiful love... So the Republic has so many gods who perform their own duties, and the people of the Republic pray from different gods. Let’s hope for a better present. When republicans make offerings to God, God must respond.”
Angel Harrison smiled and nodded, "There is a word in the Republic that is not acclimatized to the local environment. It can't be more accurate to describe the situation of our Holy Lord Faith in the Republic."
"Thank you for your hard work." Zach didn't mean it sarcastically, this was true sympathy.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Angel Harrison was somewhat humorous and self-deprecating, "But we can only do our best in the Republic." He glanced at Zach and said, "We didn't even touch each other. Not to Fanzhuo."
The topic suddenly became serious.
Zach also stopped smiling, "I believe this is also the purpose of your trip to the Republic in the early days. News about West came out in Barton, well..." Zach thought for a moment, "After Barton's trip to the Republic last year, you guys The angels in the Republic should also know about West's situation, and should give up on arresting Fan Zhuo."
Angel Harrison stopped laughing, "Actually, we gave up before Barton's trip to the Republic. The Archangel felt the decline of the Holy Lord and sacrificed himself. When Madison came to Barton, we gave up. give up."
Madison was suddenly mentioned. Zach showed no emotion and focused on his own theme. "If you angels are so decadent and pose no threat to the Secret Alliance, why does Fan Zhuo still seem to be afraid of you? The Secret Alliance will because of Zagel's treatment of you. Deceiting him to accept him means that during the time of the Republic, the Secret Alliance has been unable to do anything to you angels. Is my logic correct?"
"That's right." Angel Harrison confirmed Zach's statement. "Although angels cannot directly have any impact on vampires, even though there are many obstacles and difficulties in our preaching in the Republic, we still have some Republican believers. Those Humanity is our weapon against the secret alliance."
Zach was more serious, because this is related to the relationship between vampires and human society, "The life of vampires is too closely related to humans, and the most basic food source requires the cooperation of human society. You angels are using those believers to destroy the secret alliance. Is it the connection of a republican society?”
"Yes." Angel Harrison admitted, with a look of helplessness on his face, "Actually, when we gave up capturing Fan Zhuo, the conflict between our angels and the Secret Alliance disappeared, but disputes between humans cannot be so easy. Stop." He paused, "This is not our fault or the fault of either side of the Secret Alliance. The humans of the Secret Alliance have been shaped by vampires. Angels are ghosts who deceive human souls, and we angels have also shaped vampires for our believers. It’s a blood-sucking monster that betrayed the Holy Lord.”
Zach curled his lips and said, "Strangers who hurt each other." Sigh? No, just sympathy.
Angel Harrison also sighed, "The grievances between angels and vampires in the Republic already exist anyway, and they often have to be provoked by Papa Midnight." He shook his head, "It's really difficult..."
A sigh, the ending dragged on for a long time. Zach was going to ask again when—
"You're suffocating me to death!" Ghoul Harrison's five minutes of controlling his body began. "You deserve it! You deserve it!"
Zach curled his lips, "No matter what people say, this is your former soul. A little empathy will not make you lose any weight."
"What's the same thing?! I won't go to the Republic! I won't look for trouble with vampires like a lunatic! I don't need to preach and trick those innocent republicans into getting involved in the struggle of alien races!" It makes sense.
Zach waved his hand, not wanting to talk to Harrison anymore, it would be easy to get confused.
Zach asked Harrison to practice body control on the Grande by himself. He left the Grande again, watched the movement in the living area on the back porch for a while, and then entered the living area again.
This time I wasn’t looking for Hank. Hank was supervising his employees to write their thoughts on the carnival, like a teacher supervising a bunch of elementary school students. Zach is looking for Winston.
There is no need to talk in the living area. Zach took Winston to the warehouse. Roy was not there anyway. "Your hotel is in a good location. Are you willing to sell it?"
Zach is preparing the Newtown shelter site for Harrison.
Winston blinked, "Who are you selling to?"
"Harrison." Zach answered, but went to call Hank. He was too lazy to explain the situation and gave it to Hank in the blood. Then Hank acted as a relay and gave the information to Winston.
The whole process takes about three minutes. Three minutes later, Winston fell into thinking, "Then, what do I do to make money?"
"I can hire you to work back in Grande. I'll pay you."
Winston was stunned for a moment and became a little excited: "Can I be a member of Grande again?!"
We have already felt this. Winston has real feelings for Grande.
Zach nodded, "You may not have feelings for me, but I know you miss working for Hank and Grande Sr."
The corner of Winston's mouth moved, as he instinctively wanted to refute—it was obvious that his nostalgia for Grande had evolved after experiencing so many things. But he hesitated and did not refute Zach, "Of course it would be good to continue working under Hank."
Zach only needed this answer, "Then do you agree? Harrison's asking price may not be too high, after all, it is a public welfare shelter, but I can personally replenish you the difference. Grande will pay you the price this year." , there is a lot of gray income, and I have no place to use it." This truth is too straightforward.
Winston was a little speechless, "I don't mind the money, I probably won't need much money in the future..." Yes, he is already a vampire descendant. His first reaction is that money is probably the inertia of human thinking.
Do you still remember the time when Zach was short of money? Those days of relying on government subsidies to support his family are gone forever~ Today, there is no one in Grandry to support.
Zach patted Winston and gave him a smile, "That's a good attitude. Then it's decided."
"Yeah." Winston nodded, "Should I go and talk to Harrison? Tell him about the situation in my hotel?"
"Is there anything I should pay attention to?" Zach made this suggestion. What he valued was that the hotel was on the edge of Newton. It could provide first-hand protection for Harrison's condition, and it was also close to Barton. If anything happened, Zach Ke can support as soon as possible - revenge is the purpose of the angel Harrison, as long as he can play a role, but Zach has no intention of taking the life of the ghoul Harrison in order to let the angel play its role. So Zach really didn't think much about the other things that needed attention in the Winston Hotel.
"Isn't Fantasy Rich always stuffing people into my hotel now?" Winston curled his lips, "At least I'm still collecting money from those guests, some of them are really poor and have nothing. I can still block this guy with a businessman's attitude. If it turns into a shelter in the future, Richie will probably be more diligent in stuffing people in. Harrison must be prepared for this situation. "
"Uh..." Zach tilted his mouth and almost forgot about this. If the Newton Asylum just becomes a place to take in aliens from other places for free, then Harrison's past will have no meaning... No, the meaning is still the same. Harrison can just go to Newton, but the shelter is a place that is very important to Newton. The meaning of society is gone.
Jessica has already been asked to create public opinion about the current situation of homeless people in Newton. A new shelter is to be opened. Although it is purely for alien affairs, we should try our best to make the social significance of the shelter play out.
Zach thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment." He called Harrison over.
Time has come full circle, and now it is Harrison, the ghoul, who controls the body. Zach focused directly, "Harrison, if you were asked to open a shelter in Newton and manage some mobile aliens, would you be qualified?"
"Managing mobile aliens?"
"For aliens from the Federation who come to the eastern city, Amelia is testing those who want to enter Barton in the Pochi Sanatorium, but a large number of aliens are blocked in Newton." Pointing to Winston, "In his Find an opportunity to ask about our Barton in the hotel. After that, his hotel will become your shelter, and those aliens will just come over in a steady stream. Can you assign some jobs to them, and provide some socially meaningful things for the mobile aliens? .”
Ghoul Harrison raised his eyebrows, "How can I help Amelia?"
Zach mentioned Emilia on purpose, so he nodded, "Of course, you can, you can even directly provide Emilia with the alien information that needs to be evaluated."
"So we are like a husband and wife team, contributing to the harmonious society of Barton!"
"That's it." It's a lie to say that Zach didn't take advantage of the relationship between the couple. Zach suddenly brought his boyfriend to Grande, put a soul in it, and made a series of follow-up arrangements to make him The happy cohabitation life turned into a long-distance relationship that is not too far apart. Zach needed a valid reason to silence Amelia.
"It should be no problem!" Ghoul Harrison was very positive, because of course he himself was worried about how to explain the current situation to Emilia.
"Perfect." Zach clapped his hands, "Harrison, Winston, you should be able to start talking about the hotel deal now." He patted Winston with one hand, "What's the situation of the aliens Rich sent to the hotel? Talk to Harrison." Patting Harrison with one hand, "During the time when the deal was reached, five minutes turned into two minutes of physical rotation control, mutual respect and mutual understanding."
Winston and Harrison chatted.
Zach had facilitated another 'big thing' and was in a good mood. He gave the warehouse to two people and returned to Grande.
The answering machine in the office had another message on it while Zach was working:
"Sorry, I met Mo (Republic) during the day yesterday and went out to play~" Louise's message was a reply to Zack's missed call (Federation) last night trying to find Louise about the situation. "I just came back. Now It’s night in the Republic, haha, it’s time to wake up Eli and go out to have fun~”
Zach pouted, he was worried here, but Louise was very happy...
The message continued, "With Mo as a tour guide, it feels different~ I feel like I'm getting more and more accustomed to the Republic~ It's really nice here~ I like it here~ Oh, by the way, the thing about the Republic Angel that I talked to you about last time, Zha Geer seems to have learned something from the Secret Alliance. I’ll talk to you again when I get the chance~ Eli is urging me, bye~” (To be continued)
