The Record Of Barton’s Fantastical Events

Chapter 171: Afternoon phone call

Views:

After lunch, Matthew also returned to the Grand House.

The sun at noon was too strong, so the people in Grande stayed in Benjamin's warehouse, where they could stay warm without being too hot. As expected, Matthew's attitude towards his boss has not changed at all, just as Zach thought. But he expressed some worry and coyness that if he did something wrong tomorrow, don't blame him, he needs this job.

Laura, who just stayed aside, was a little curious, "Matthew, what did you do?"

Matthew couldn't answer anything except an embarrassed smile.

Zach sat in front of the haystacks, nestled comfortably in the shadows, occasionally taking a sip or two of wine. Only Laura, who didn't know the truth, would roll her eyes once or twice to express contempt during Zach's actions.

"Matthew, what is today's church about?" Zach asked casually.

"The golden tree with branches and leaves," Matthew answered.

Zach raised his eyebrows. This is a story in the holy scriptures. It tells the story of a shepherd who received the blessing of the Holy Lord and had prosperous offspring and a prosperous family.

Matthew roughly narrated that the content of the sermon did not focus on good results, but that the shepherd was a "righteous" person valued by the Holy Father. 'Righteousness' means that he is kind, that he has a pure heart, that he is able to choose the right path in his choices, such as giving his faith to the Holy Father.

Another very ordinary sermon.

Zach thought about it, Crowley's was indeed different from some eager demons. Perhaps because she was once an angel, the content of her sermons was more traditional. She seems to focus on the living before revealing the world after death.

We all know that anything will change under inheritance. For example, the original inheritance of the former werewolf Alpha has long since disappeared in four hundred years, if not counting the Ravenchi of Papa Midnight. In the current history of the Federation, the inheritance of werewolves is mostly biased towards alien aspects, such as hatred against vampires.

But now, Benjamin seems to have started a new way of inheritance. He has discarded the earliest history of protecting the Indian homeland and skipped the process of hatred with vampires. He only taught Matthew knowledge. This method of inheritance is really a special case.

As for Crowley, such preaching was not an innovation, but entirely ancient missionary practice. Although I don’t want to admit it, in this era when everything is changing rapidly, Crowley is like a breath of fresh air...

"Has your father applied to join the church?" Zach asked.

Matthew had a troubled head.

"What are you worried about? The church is pretty good!" Laura slapped Matthew on the back casually. Matthew was very young, only twenty years old. After getting acquainted with him, Laura naturally no longer paid attention to etiquette. Of course, she would not dare to do this to Benjamin.

Just as Benjamin himself once answered Mrs. Button, "Lola just likes to hear stories about the war." '

Zach smiled and looked at Laura, a girl who rarely went to church at first glance, "Do you want to join too?"

"Uh, I'll forget it." Laura curled her lips and thought for a moment, "I'm not eighteen yet. Even if I are, I'll probably just show up for the coming-of-age ceremony." A child from the upper class, There are so many names.

"By the way, Laura, how is Blake?" Zach pretended to be gossiping.

Laura rolled her eyes. This girl, who had no idea about Grande's secret, had become an important source of information for Grande by chance. However, Mrs. Barton once said bluntly that she didn't care about Laura and Grande getting along, and Zach just took Mrs. Barton's acquiescence.

"What else can we do? Mr. Stone paid the bail and he has been grounded." Laura curled her lips, thought for a while, blinked her eyes, seemed to have thought of something interesting, pulled Alice over, and smiled. "I went to see him this morning! Guess what?"

It has to be said that Laura has played a great role in Alice. Ever since Laura brought Alice out of Grande, Alice's mood has obviously improved a lot. At least she doesn't often sit in a corner alone to contribute 'nutrients' to the fantasy man Daniel. .

Alice fluttered her eyelashes curiously, "What's wrong?"

"He's stupid! The pen he used yesterday was a marker!" Laura said happily, "He has to use his left hand to pick up food. When he looks in the mirror, he sees the disgusting looks of others. ’, what you see when you say something is that ‘your words are not valued’…”

Laura was very happy, looking gloating.

Zach, who had experienced it personally, imagined the scene and expressed regret for Blake. The smile was just on his face, but the regret was fleeting in his heart.

Alice was much more upright. She suppressed her laughter and suggested seriously, "He can try alcohol. It should clear it up."

Laura smiled and shook her head, "Haha, Mr. Stone doesn't allow him to do that, 'If you want to carry other people's hell, then just carry it'. Haha, who knows how long he will be like that. !”

Now everyone is really sorry, this is obviously punishment.

"But it's nothing." Laura smiled and waved her hand, "He went back to Barton to rest, and he doesn't have to go out recently."

Benjamin and Matthew had no idea who the strange Blake was, and while everyone was laughing and regretting, they had no sense of involvement. Benjamin just looked at Zach in confusion, because he mentioned the surname 'Stone', and he knew that Zach was interested in people in that circle.

Matthew was much more innocent and curiously asked who was Blake

Laura immediately became interested and began to tell what happened yesterday, and also introduced Blake Stone.

Zach listened carefully.

Compared to Porky Quinn's madness and darkness, Kyle Patton's rebellion (wanting to be a football player), Lola Patton's, well, Lola. Blake Stone is these famous kids' biggest nightmare.

He is almost a character piled up with all the positive words. The Stone family can be very proud, 'Proud of Blake.' Not only his studies, he even entered the political circle as a campaign staffer for the mayor of Newton.

Matthew listened blankly, and Laura spoke vividly. It was obvious that Laura liked this neighbor very much.

Zach couldn't hear Laura finish because the faint ringing of the phone came from the Grand House building to the warehouse. After Louise went to answer the call, she signaled to Zach when she came back. Zach had no choice but to temporarily put aside his curiosity about Blake and go to deal with the 'work'.

The call came from James.

"Hi, James." Zach was in a very happy mood. After meeting James yesterday, he got results so soon.

But Zach was disappointed. The cold voice on the receiver contrasted with Zach's joy, "You need to come over. The case I am currently on is related to aliens."

Zach raised his eyebrows, "What happened?"

James' tone was not impatient at all, "What can happen with the case in my hands? Someone is dead!"

"How are you sure it's related to the alien race?" Zach asked with a smile. Now James seems to be very good at making judgments on his own, and he no longer uses a questioning tone.

James in the receiver sighed obviously, "Because the person who died was a priest, and someone had a line of words carved on his body, 'Demons should rot in hell'."

Zach frowned, thinking of the guy in the parking lot last night who didn't like to talk. But that's not right. If it were him, wouldn't he have a weapon that could kill demons without leaving any traces? Why are there still traces left, or even deliberately leaving information for the police to discover

"Have you contacted Crowley?" Zach asked very seriously. No matter what, this should also be Crowley's business.

"I don't want to have contact with her." James on the receiver answered quickly. It seemed that the shadow of certain things was not so easy to eliminate.

"Okay, address." Zach nodded helplessly. Since James asked for it, Zach, whose ultimate goal was to bring James into his circle, naturally couldn't refuse. But compared to his previous pretentiousness, Zach is also much more direct.

After writing down the address James reported, Zach wanted to find Benjamin together, but the phone rang again.

Yes.

"Hi, Zach." The other person's tone was very relaxed.

Zach smiled and responded, this is one of his own.

"I hope Zach you have no other plans tonight." The person in the receiver smiled.

Zach squinted his eyes, "For the sake of friends, even if there is, I can clear it out."

"Haha, Zach, it's Sunday again, will you come to the regular party in the evening?" Nuo asked the question very directly.

After attending the gathering of gray professionals in Barton City last Sunday, Zach really didn't expect that such an itinerary would turn out to be a regular 'program'.

"Of course." Zach replied with a smile, "I'm still worried that since I didn't participate in the follow-up activities last time, you won't invite me anymore." Zach's is 'ungentleman' after 'gentleman' Activity. He was not in the mood at the time, so he left early.

"Haha! How could it be!" Nuo's laughter was loud and he seemed very close. "That is your choice. In fact, most people are envious of you. You can have the feeling of having a girlfriend waiting at home!"

The reason why Zach left at that time was naturally Louise. With Old Hank as an example, when faced with teasing, Zach naturally revealed that he had been 'occupied'.

"Okay, shall we still go to the same place?" Zach asked with a smile.

"Yes! Same time, same place, same one dollar bill."

Zach smiled helplessly. There was too much contrast between Nuo's work image and his private image. Perhaps this kind of quality is what is needed to do this kind of work.

"Okay, then I'm very much looking forward to the party." Zach smiled and hung up the phone.

This is true, because the 'general' will definitely be there too.
