13 Mink Street

For the protected object, the food for each meal is rationed, because her food will be inspected. In addition, she will not be allowed to touch food from other channels. This is the most basic security. ordinance.

Not to mention whether it would be strange to order a dining car after breakfast comes in, the most important thing is that according to the schedule, there is no time for her to order another meal.

If you fail to start at the scheduled time in the itinerary, the entire itinerary today will be at risk of being cancelled.

So, Ophelia, who was hungry, changed her clothes and walked out.

When he saw Ophelia again, Karen was slightly taken aback, because Ophelia was wearing a long black dress, a red hood, a string of pearl necklaces around her neck, and brown leather boots on her feet .

This outfit reminded Karen of Pu'er subconsciously, and Karen didn't believe it was just a coincidence.

Because this suit was very fashionable more than a hundred years ago, but it is not popular now.

"How, Mr. Cullen?"

Although she was very hungry, facing the man who pushed her dining car away, Ophelia still showed her elegance, and even turned around in front of Karen.

"It seems that there is still a lack of a women's cane."

"Miss, cane."

A cane inlaid with red gems was delivered to Ophelia by Xin La.

Karen smiled slightly and said, "It's perfect."

Ophelia smiled; "I think Mr. Cullen can always get along with me."

"It is my duty to serve you."

When getting off the elevator, Karen thought, could this be because both parties have practiced [Dark Moon Blade], so they have a feeling for each other?

The restlessness of the spells in his body last night could never be an accident. Karen felt that it must have something to do with the lady from the Dark Moon family in front of him.

It was still the same VIP car from yesterday, and it was still the driver. Miss Ophelia sat in the middle of one side, the female warrior and the maid sat beside her, and Karen and Fanny sat opposite them.

The car started and drove out of the hotel.

Fanny said, "It's not a short distance from here to Allen Manor. Let's try not to delay on the way and arrive early."

Ophelia said: "Don't worry, even if I don't need to rest, you who are in charge of protecting me and your colleagues who are invisible around you must also need to rest and eat."

Fanny smiled and said: "No need, we have already had breakfast, and everyone is full."

"..." Ophelia.

After leaving the city and entering the suburbs, the scenery outside the car window became much wider.

"How long has Mr. Cullen entered the Cult of Kosmos?" Ophelia asked.

"It's not long since I entered the Order of God, but I have believed in Order for a long time."

"So, what is Mr. Cullen's current level?"

"Non-staff member of the Whip of Order team, servant of God."

"A non-staff member?" Ophelia was a little puzzled, "It's hard to imagine that you are just a non-staff member."

"Miss, you are the first task I face after joining the Whip of Order team."

"It's my pleasure."

"It's an honor for me."

"Has Mr. Cullen thought of any other way?"

"Miss, what do you mean?"

"Not surprisingly, after the talks are over, a missionary station belonging to the Cult of Order will be set up on Darkmoon Island. Is Mr. Cullen interested in taking on the responsibility of spreading the light of Order to Darkmoon Island?"

Expatriate, gold-plated, convenient for promotion in the future, this is indeed a good way.

If Karen is simply a servant of God, he can accumulate qualifications faster in this way, and this lady has already expressed her willingness to speak for him.

"I'm sorry, Miss, if I have the opportunity in the future, I really hope to visit Darkmoon Island and enjoy the fascinating scenery of Darkmoon Island, but right now, I don't really want to relax."

"It's okay, Mr. Cullen thinks he's still young?"

"Yes, I always feel that youth is a kind of capital that can be squandered. I want to stay in York City and continue to splurge."

"Actually, I envy you very much. When I was on the island, I always yearned for the outside world."

"This is a besieged city. People inside want to get out, and people outside want to come in."

"Siege? I like this metaphor. Yes, Dark Moon Island is a siege. The only chance for me to come out now is probably to marry Mr. Leon last night."

Is it the grandson of the chief bishop of York City last night?

Ophelia leaned forward slightly with a cane in her hand. Although she was hungry, she hadn't had time to reduce the curves of her body:

"Mr. Cullen, do you think I should marry Mr. Leon?"

The maid Xinla twitched her mouth, she felt that her lady's attitude towards the Whip of Order team member was too much.

Karen was also a little confused by this question. Such a major event of marriage would never be judged by people of his level.

but,

Since Miss Ophelia asked the question on her own initiative, she could answer it relatively freely.

Because the conversation is limited to this car, the two people around Ophelia will not tell the truth, and Fanny and Xie will not tell the truth either.

Seeing that Karen didn't answer, Ophelia continued: "Everyone thinks that my marriage with Mr. Leon is good for Dark Moon Island and the Cult of Order."

"Miss, I want to say something nonsense."

"Hehe, please tell me."

"Marriage or not, I think Miss, you have the power."

Ophelia nodded and said, "Yes, the clan didn't put too much pressure on me."

Not too much pressure means that the elders in the Dark Moon Clan support and oppose the marriage.

If they marry, Darkmoon Island can gain more freedom, and its influence can also develop along with the trend; but marriage also has side effects, which will make Darkmoon Island have to be involved in the vortex between churches.

Especially right now, all kinds of signs seem to indicate that the gods will wake up. Once this momentum continues, the war between the churches is likely to be inevitable.

"What do you think of Mr. Leon?" Karen asked.

Ophelia shook her head and said, "Other aspects are not bad, but... a little childish."

talking,

Ophelia looked at Karen and said:

"If Mr. Leon can swap with Mr. Karen, maybe I will consider trying to like him. At least, it will be easier to convince me to accept this arrangement."

"Miss, are you thirsty?" Xin La reminded, "Some of your words may cause trouble to Mr. Cullen."

Xin La's words are correct, and they are not purely belittling Karen;

Any man who hears his "blind date" say such things will probably hate the man who compares himself to the man who is the grandson of the chief bishop, Karen, who is just a servant of God.

Fanny responded: "There will be no informers in our team."

"So, are you doubting Panmir and I's loyalty to Miss?"

Panmir is the name of a female warrior.

People on both sides began to feel a little gunpowder, but the two involved seemed very calm.

"Mr. Cullen, what are you thinking?" Ophelia asked.

A smile appeared on the corner of Karen's mouth, and said: "I finally know what my girlfriend was thinking when the parents of both parties arranged to meet."

"I think, I'm a little envious of your girlfriend."

"Miss, your matter is different from Mr. Karen's matter." Xin La said.

Fanny raised her eyebrows and reminded: "My Order God believes that under order, everyone is equal."

"Xinla, next time I chat with others, can you not interrupt, do you think I'm just a child who hasn't grown up and needs to follow your teachings all the time?"

"No, miss, I beg your pardon."

Ofelia looked at Karen again, and found that Karen was still smiling. He was really not angry.

Temper, is it so good?

Of course, Karen would not be angry. Diss chose Allen Manor to marry because of various considerations; but if Diss did not choose the Allen family, but chose Dark Moon Island.

He didn't think that when the middle-aged Diss appeared over Dark Moon Island through the teleportation circle, the Dark Moon Clan would disagree with this marriage, but he would definitely not have the current development, let alone the current freedom.

It's like facing the disdain from the lady at the counter who thinks you can't afford this item, if you really have enough rael in your pocket, you may not feel offended, and you will not deliberately throw money at it What to prove, probably just smiled and turned to leave, but felt that she was a little pitiful.

Diss left a lot for himself, such as Pu'er, such as an evil god...

But the most precious thing Diss left to himself is that no matter how low his current status and state are, he can look at the eyes of the world at the same level.

This is not stubbornness after self-deception, nor is it a pretense of being accustomed to it, but a kind of real indifference.

Xinla turned her head and apologized to Karen:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cullen, but I ask your forgiveness for my previous offense."

Karen looked at her and said with a smile: "You don't need to apologize, because I didn't hear what you just said clearly."

This is a very decent scene, but there is another interpretation.

finally,

After the hungry wait, Allen Manor finally arrived.

"A very exquisite manor." Ophelia said, "From here, you can see the prosperity of the Allen family back then."

For a lady from the Allen family to be able to fall in love with her ancestors, she must first be qualified to meet her ancestors. At least everyone can have the opportunity to sit at the same table and communicate.

Karen was a little funny. He promised Eunice that he would come back often in the future, but he came back so soon.

What's even more ridiculous is that next, old Anderson and the others need to show a gesture that they don't know them at all.

Because of the notice received from the Cult of Order in advance, and the visitor was still the lady of the Darkmoon family, Allen Manor put on a more grand pomp than when it first welcomed Her Majesty the Queen.

However, the car was still parked in front of the castle and was not led around to the back of the castle.

Karen got out of the car first, and then took the initiative to help Ophelia get out of the car. At this moment, Karen heard some "empty ringing" sounds, like, coming from the stomach.

Ophelia looked as usual, and after getting out of the car, she took the initiative to walk towards Old Anderson.

Old Anderson also stepped forward to greet him in person. The pomp and circumstance was great, but he did not bow his knees.

"The Allen family, welcome the arrival of Dark Moon, and also welcome the arrival of Order."

"Hello, please forgive me for making a hasty visit." Ophelia also bowed to old Anderson seriously, "Thank you for your grand welcome, and may the friendship between Dark Moon and Allen last forever."

Next, it is the link of mutual introduction similar to the visit of family friends.

Karen didn't deliberately hide herself, because there was no need for it.

After all, the Allen Manor confuses the Rafael family completely by "acting" in the past few years, making the Rafael family think that although the Allen family is weak, it still has a certain heritage, so they are not in a hurry to deal with the Allen family. To launch the final blow, I was afraid that the Allen family would come to a dead end.

In terms of acting, the members of the Allen family led by old Anderson are really professional.

However, Karen was still thinking about whether to find a chance to go upstairs to see Eunice, but he didn't know where the captain and the others would hide, in case he sneaked up and was spotted by his teammates in the dark what to do?

The captain said that everyone in the team has secrets, and he will not take the initiative to explore Karen's secrets, but this does not mean that the captain is blind.

After entering the castle, Karen, Michelle, and Fanny followed Ophelia. Old Anderson led Ophelia to visit the patriarch's study. introduction.

This is the glory of the ancestors of the Allen family. The old Anderson introduced it very emotionally. He introduced it and cried out. He began to blame himself for being sorry to the ancestors for running the family into such a field.

Obviously, the old Anderson, who got the tip from Karen, stuck to the theme.

Karen felt that the old Anderson at this time was very much like an old village chief facing a group of poverty alleviation cadres who went to the countryside.

Ophelia began to take the initiative to comfort old Anderson, and also expressed the promise of the Dark Moon family to help the Allen family, which also involved... the sea trade road.

This should be part of the upcoming talks between Darkmoon Island and the Cult of Order. Both sides will get what they need. The trade between Darkmoon Island and the Cult of Order is a necessary part, but when implemented at the grassroots level, even if the Allen family Just getting this far is a considerable wealth for the current Allen family, and it is also an improvement in family standards.

When introducing the ancestors of Allen, including Recar, Ophelia also said that she had heard stories about them in Dark Moon Island.

Obviously, the ancestors of the Allen family left many stories and legends on the sea.

For this reason, old Anderson took the opportunity to wipe away tears for a while.

at last,

Here comes the main event,

When Ophelia asked if there was a portrait of Miss "Pall Allen", old Anderson led her to the picture.

"Really... Miss Pall?"

Ophelia actually noticed this painting as soon as she came in. She really couldn't help but notice that the walls of the huge study room were full of people, and it turned out that this painting was a black cat sitting on a chair. .

Karen stood behind Ophelia, trying not to laugh out loud.

He could clearly see Ophelia's embarrassment, because her current outfit couldn't be said to be very similar to the cat in the portrait...it was exactly the same.

Karen felt that in the palace on Darkmoon Island, there must be a portrait or sculpture of Pu'er, but it definitely wasn't in the form of a cat.

Although she turned into a cat, her legend is still circulating in the world.

Old Anderson introduced: "Ahem...this ancestor, she...she has a more relaxed personality."

Ophelia took a deep breath, and the previous embarrassment turned into a loud laugh. She bent over laughing, and even burst into tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't disrespect Miss Pall in the slightest, but I suddenly realized what kind of character Miss could make my ancestor be so fascinated by her all his life."

Ophelia is emotional. From this painting, she seems to see Pu'er's soul, a fun, free and easy, unrestrained soul that is not afraid of the world.

Even in such a solemn and solemn scene, she still faced it with a playful attitude. She must know that her painting will always be kept here for future generations to admire.

That's right, only such a lady can be worthy of the ancestor's liking, and the ancestor will be so emotional for her.

In front of this portrait, Ophelia seemed to see her own shadow, and got some kind of guidance and resonance.

Karen said, "I think Miss Ophelia can be here to look at and pay respects quietly. Dear Mr. Anderson, what do you think?"

"Oh, of course, as it should be."

Old Anderson immediately led the others out of the study.

Karen also motioned for Empress Dowager to go out with Fanny, and Ophelia was the only one left in the study.

…

After a while, Borg pushed a dining car over, because Karen said in a low voice when passing him earlier, I'm hungry.

Karen walked over, took the dining car, and when he was about to push it to the study, Fanny and Mistress stopped him:

"Food, have you checked?"

"I've tasted it all, and it's fine. The main thing is, I heard Miss..." Karen pointed at his stomach, "What's more, I seem to have pushed the dining car out before people eat."

Now, Fanny and Xie are also embarrassed.

Karen wondered if the captain and teammates hiding in the dark would be embarrassed to hear this, after all, everyone shared the food.

As a security guard, he actually ate all the food for the protected object and made the protected object starve. It is really embarrassing to spread the news.

Xi Cai and Fanny hurriedly helped Karen open the study door, and Karen pushed the dining car in.

Seeing the dining car being pushed in, Ophelia opened her mouth wide, but closed it immediately, and swallowed.

this moment,

She felt Karen glowing!

"This is the afternoon tea provided by the Allen family. Miss, you can enjoy it first. After the enjoyment is over, we will go to the cemetery."

After speaking, Karen turned around and walked out of the study.

Twenty minutes later, Karen knocked on the door, and female warrior Pan Mir opened the door. Karen didn't go in, but said:

"Miss, it's time for us to go to the cemetery, because we need to go back at night, so our time is limited."

"OK."

Ophelia came out with a smile on her face, and Xin La looked at the dining car.

"Don't worry about the dining car, Ms. Xinla, the manor's servants will clean up after we leave. The dining car we ate at is also outside."

"Okay, okay." Xin La immediately followed her lady out of the study.

After they all came out, Karen closed the study door.

Ophelia also breathed a sigh of relief. Karen didn't go to push the dining cart to make her feel relieved, because she didn't want Karen to see the embarrassing scene where the food under the white cloth in the dining cart had been eaten clean.

Next, the crowd rode to the cemetery under the leadership of old Anderson.

After arriving at the cemetery, Karen saw Pu'er's tombstone. On the tombstone, there was a sculpture of a cat, which had been made "weather-beaten".

Below the tombstone are engraved two lines:

You said that you and I are like two fish in a pond. Even if the pond is dry, we have to spit to moisten each other; but I hope you can go back to the sea and find your freedom.

I once lit a bonfire that can illuminate half of the sky, but I know that in your eyes, it can't match the half ray of light from the dark moon.

Tears flowed from Ophelia's eyes after seeing these two lines, and even Xinla and the female warrior Panmir also shed tears. Obviously, they also grew up listening to the love story of that ancestor.

How free and easy, how willful and how lovely Miss Pall is, her love for her ancestor is so deep, but her ancestor still abandoned her in order to protect Dark Moon.

But she didn't have the slightest hatred for her ancestors. Between the lines, she was full of tolerance and fulfillment.

Karen, who was standing beside Ophelia, said softly:

"Perhaps, it is precisely because of love, precisely because of the depth of love, that I am willing to let the other half I love so much fly to higher and farther places."

"Ancestor, I'm sorry Miss Pall, I owe Miss Pall too much." Ophelia wiped her tears, "I feel sorry for Miss Pall, I even started to hate my ancestor, he shouldn't be like this, He really shouldn't do this to a woman who loves him so much."

"I believe that this enduring love can finally come to a successful conclusion here; your ancestors should be freed, and Miss Pall's soul in heaven will also be truly relieved.

You said that she used to be a girl known as a genius, but she chose to lose herself because of love. We all know what it means for a family to have a genius.

Therefore, her heart should also be full of guilt towards the family. "

Ophelia nodded seriously: "Yes, the Darkmoon Family will compensate the Allen Family and give support and funding to the Allen Family."

Hearing this sentence, Karen felt confident, and did not continue to sensationalize.

Next,

Led by Ophelia,

All bow to Pall Allen's tombstone,

condolences.

...

"Ah Choo! Ah Choo! Ah Choo!"

On the sofa in the living room of the apartment building in the Blue Bridge community in York City, Pu'er, who was drinking coffee and eating afternoon tea snacks, sneezed several times.

It touched its nose with a cat's paw,

Puzzled:

"Why do I feel like someone is cursing me?"
