You don't cast spells by the rules at all, do you?

The afternoon sun seeped in through the arched painted windows, casting a checkered shadow of light and dark on the empty rows of chairs and the floor. At the end of the central aisle, there was a small wooden house shaped like a bell tower with an exquisite iris carved on the top. There was a window on the front, covered with a dark purple curtain, which looked solemn and dignified.

There are also pictures of a man hanging on the walls on both sides. It is said that he is the incarnation of the "Lord" on earth. The man in the picture is closing his eyes and touching the forehead of the believer. He looks quite majestic.

Sean was in the cabin at this time. He didn't know that Sopea had arrived and was still listening attentively to the believers' confession.

Although he is only a part-time priest, he has promised Elvira and Iris after all. It is a bit difficult to love what you do, but you have to do it seriously, which Sean can still do.

And this job is not as boring as I imagined. On the contrary, it is quite interesting in some ways.

Because not all the people who come to this church are wizards from Alola Town, there are also some "tourists" from other places. They believe that the farther away from home they are, the lighter the psychological burden will be when they confess. That is why everyone basically tells the truth, and you can never guess what strange things they have done.

such as--

As soon as the previous confessor left, another man came in.

"Father, please forgive me. I confess to you... I made a mistake."

As soon as he came up, he lowered his head and sounded regretful.

"A few days ago, I divorced my wife of seven years. I was very sad... We were both alone and our lives suddenly became one. I was not used to it. Every night I felt very empty and lonely."

"Yesterday was our wedding anniversary. I couldn't help but drink a lot of wine. I wanted to find someone to talk to, so I went to my friend's house. My friend's wife is very beautiful, but there seems to be some problems between them. Recently, they have been sleeping in separate rooms, and it was the same yesterday."

"My friend drank with me for a while and soon went back to the room to rest. I knew he couldn't drink much. After drinking a whole bottle of gin, he would definitely fall into a deep sleep. I looked at his wife's bedroom and couldn't help but have evil thoughts in my mind."

"...I swear, Father, I was really drunk at the time, otherwise I would not have opened that sinful door."

"This morning, his wife woke up and found out what happened last night. She cried a lot. She called me shameless and a bastard, saying that her husband always treated me as his best friend, but I did such a thing behind his back."

The man said with shame: "I never thought that I was such a person. I deserve to die."

Hearing this, Sean's eyes narrowed slightly, realizing that things were not simple. He looked through the curtain at the man and asked, "So you violated your friend's wife?"

This will result in a sentence.

Man: "No, I assaulted my friend."

Sean: "?"

"I have apologized to my friend's wife, but no woman will forgive someone who steals her man...especially if that person is a man." The man blamed himself. "My friend wants to divorce his wife and be with me, but I really don't want to destroy their family."

Sean: "..."

You're quite a nice person.

The man became more and more sad and helpless as he spoke, "Father, what do you think I should do?"

Sean: "..."

Don't worry, I'm thinking.

Sean really had no experience in this kind of thing, and the priest manual that Iris gave him didn't mention it, so he could only use his own ideas. So he thought about it and said, "Did you see the picture on the wall?"

The man nodded.

"The Lord is also a man." Sean said, "You like men, which means you like the Lord. This is actually a manifestation of faith, so the Lord will not blame you. Instead, He will be happy because you finally recognize yourself and choose to face Him calmly."

man:"……"

Can you explain that?

Sean continued, "Rather than asking God for forgiveness, you should be more concerned about the emotions of your friend and his wife. Go back and explain it to them. I believe they will understand you."

He seemed to have said everything, and yet he seemed to have said nothing.

The man seemed to be greatly encouraged, clenched his fists and said: "I understand, I know what I should do."

"Yeah." Sean was very satisfied with the man's understanding and said calmly, "Go drink the holy water."

"Thank you for your guidance, Father." The man bowed gratefully and left the confessional.

Sean thought to himself, if only Elvira could be so easily fooled.

After the man left, the next person to confess was a woman holding a newspaper in her hand.

"Father, I am guilty."

"I falsely accused a professor."

Sean: “Huh?”

The woman explained: "It all started like this. I heard that this professor had made a breakthrough in his research in the field of material science, so I found an opportunity to interview him."

"He told me that he might have discovered a new element outside the periodic table, temporarily named 'shi'. Using it as a material to make a potion to soak historical relics can clearly show the traces of the relics being eroded by time, helping archaeologists and historians better trace their age."

"I worked with him to come up with a headline, but after reading it, he said I took it out of context, distorted the facts, and was irresponsible."

Sean asked out loud, "What's the title?"

Woman: "Major discovery, the periodic table is about to be updated, and the new elements may help us travel through time."

Sean: "?"

You are more than taking things out of context.

He simply tore up the book and rewrote it himself.

The woman said aggrievedly, "I know this is a little different from the truth, but I am also thinking about everyone. Writing in this way can attract more attention to the newspaper. I have achievements, and he can also gain more fame."

"But this professor didn't know anything about marketing. He refused to agree and scolded me. The more he scolded me, the more he scolded me. He didn't seem like a senior scholar at all. I got so angry that I published his report in the newspaper."

Sean: "How did he scold you?"

The woman imitated the old professor's angry tone: "Fuck you! Get out of here! I do not the fuck wanna see you anymore! Go! Now!"

You can tell that the old professor is very angry.

"What about you? What do you mean by putting it in the newspaper?" Sean asked.

The woman handed him the newspaper through the window.

Sean unfolded it and saw a bold title printed on the sub-page:

"Innocent female reporter was raped by an old professor and kicked out afterwards"

Sean: "?"

Don't mention it, I also want to kick you out.

This situation is hopeless. If nothing unexpected happens, this woman will soon be sued by the old professor. When she receives a summons from the court, the only thing he can do is write a number to the woman.

"This is the phone number of a lawyer friend of mine. He is very good at guilty plea and should be able to help you."

"Thank you, Father. Thank you!" The woman was moved to tears.

"You're welcome. The Lord asked me to do this. Your honesty has been forgiven by Him." Sean said, "Go drink the holy water."

"Yeah!" The woman thanked him a few more times and quickly left the confessional.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the corner, with a slightly sarcastic tone: "You are still helping this kind of person?"

……

Chapter 65: Dreaming (Part )

All the seats in the confessional were empty, because the secrets of the confessor could only be heard by God and the priest who represented God. Sean had no idea when there was an extra person in the room. When he heard the voice, he was stunned, lifted the curtain and looked, and found that Elviri had sat in the last row without him knowing when.

Sean was delighted, but he quickly suppressed his excitement and said calmly, "Why are you here?"

Seeing his attitude, Elviri was not willing to be outdone and said provocatively: "Why, I can't come?"

"This is your territory, of course you can come." Sean said indifferently, "But confessing to the Lord is a very sacred thing. I hope you will keep quiet and don't make any noise, so as not to disturb me and God's work."

Elviri: “?”

Are you still making a big deal out of it with her?

"Then tell me why you want to help that woman?" Elviri asked, "Is this also a job?"

"Yes." Sean had a reason. "Although the priest represents the Lord, he also represents himself. The Lord can forgive her, but the priest does not have to forgive her."

Elviri sneered: "You don't forgive her, but you still want to find a lawyer for her?"

She didn't target the other person just because she was a woman and received Sean's help, but was just stating the facts.

She has always hated people whose moral standards need to be improved. They have brought chaos to the entire industry. Isa is also a reporter and has been implicated many times.

"Who told you that I'm helping her by finding her a lawyer?" Sean asked curiously, "Haven't you ever heard of a guilty plea?"

The lawyer's name was Snake Zhang. He became famous for helping a defendant to win a sentence from five years in prison to life imprisonment.

In addition, he has also had great success in helping plaintiffs and employers win cases against defendants.

"If you can plead guilty even if you are not guilty, this is the real guilty plea."

Elviri: “……?”

How is this word explained?

Sean doesn't care about that.

Of course, he has the right to interpret the words that come out of his mouth.

Elviri was speechless for a moment, but she felt better in her heart, thinking that this guy was sensible and did not help the evildoer.

Sean naturally didn't know what the girl was thinking. Seeing that she didn't speak, he deliberately asked, "Miss, do you have anything else to do? No, I have to continue working."

Elviri typed a question mark: "?"

What do you mean?

When you wanted to make friends with her, you called her Miss Flame Crow. Now that you’re tired of her, you call her this Miss?

Sean continued, "Is this lady also here to confess?"

Repent your head!

Elviri said angrily, "I'm here to remind you that Sopea has arrived in town and will soon cause trouble for you."

This ungrateful guy, doesn't he think that if nothing really happened, I would come to him when I'm still angry?

"Don't blame me for not warning you if you get caught later!"

Elviri snorted and left the confessional without looking back. She swore that she would never care about this guy again, otherwise she would be a dog!

"Wang Wang!"

At this time, the next confessor came in. He was an old man in a long robe with a hunched back. He brought a girl and a dog.

The family of three passed by Elvira, and the puppy made cute sounds.

Elviri: “…”

Why do I suddenly want to eat dog meat?

Sean was still wondering in the cabin, has Sopea arrived?

He wasn't afraid that Sopea would cause him trouble, but which "immediately" was it?

Sean wanted to ask the girl when Sopea would come, but the girl walked too fast. Before he could even say the word "wait", Elvira had already walked out the door.

"Father, what's bothering you?"

The old man came to the window of the cabin and asked about Sean.

Because of the curtain and the old man's head down, Sean couldn't see his face clearly, but he noticed that there was more than one person coming, so he smiled and said, "The priest has no worries. The Lord will help us solve any worries. This is a reward for the most loyal believers. As for the old man, do you have any troubles that you want to tell the Lord?"

“Yes.” The old man whispered, “My daughter has been bullied recently, and I want to teach that bastard a lesson for her.”

"Has the lesson been taught?" Sean asked.

The old man replied, “Not yet.”

Sean: “Do you have any concerns?”

The old man shook his head: "That's not the case. I came to the church just to confess in advance."

Sean frowned slightly: "You want to kill someone?"

He could sense that the person in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person, and the aura he exuded was clearly different from that of the man and female reporter before.

"Not really." The old man said, "I just want him to remember it."

Sean breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine."

This is the bad thing about the priest's profession. Although he can hear a lot of secrets and can satisfy his curiosity to a great extent, if he hears something "he shouldn't hear", it will also bring a lot of psychological burden to the priest.
