Chapter 205 Hot Negotiations

"Just suspicion?"

"Yes."

"I'll report the details up."

"Well, yes, Captain."

Karen turned and went back to her apartment.

On the bed, Fanny and Xichao were still sound asleep, and Xicao kicked the quilt under the bed. She liked to sleep on her stomach, and Fanny was wearing silk pajamas, which looked better when she was wearing them than without them.

They must have heard the previous bell, but because Karen was on vigil, as long as Karen didn't wake them up, they would immediately go back to sleep. This is a kind of trust in their teammates.

Of course, their current sleeping position is a manifestation of deeper trust.

Karen stood by the bed, frowning slightly.

Now reverse the scene after I pushed the dining car in before, and many details can be noticed deliberately.

He was the one who wanted to drink with him when he was interested, but he only took a sip of the wine, as if deliberately performing for himself, so that he could testify for him that he drank it;

After drinking, I immediately lost interest in chatting and said that I was "tired".

However, this doubt is actually useless.

You can understand that he is deliberately pretending to achieve the purpose of gaining the trust of the upper echelons of the Cult of Order.

You can also understand that he knew that the higher-ups still had some doubts about him, so he deliberately used this method to prove his innocence.

The only one who can really know the truth is probably the space worm.

Karen twisted his neck lightly. He suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he didn't have a particularly strong sense of belonging to the Cult of Kosmos. Therefore, it's good to do his own job well. Let the high-level people worry about the trade-offs. Let them have a headache.

Complete the task with peace of mind and get coupons, this is the right way.

Bending down, picking up the quilt, and covering Michelle and Fanny again, Karen sat back on the sofa, took out a cigarette from Fanny's cigarette case on the tea table, and twirled it in her hand.

Unknowingly, most of the shredded tobacco in the cigarette was shaken out by Karen, and at this moment, the morning light of dawn shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Karen picked up the microphone next to him, but there was no sound in the microphone, which meant that he could not make a call, but soon, Karen heard the sound of picking up the microphone:

"Hello, the front desk of the hotel, what do you need, sir?"

"breakfast."

"Is it for three people?"

"Yes."

"My lord, do you have any special needs?"

"Bring some more cigarettes up."

"Okay, my lord, just wait a moment, it will be delivered to you soon."

Taking cigarettes is taught by Xie Cai. They will bring clothes, but they will never bring more cigarettes. Anyway, the expenses during the mission can be reimbursed by the church. Therefore, if there is a shortage of cigarettes, you can ask the front desk of the Ankara Hotel to send them. These expenses It is included in the room fee, and the room fee does not need to be settled by the team themselves.

The cigarettes provided by Ankara Hotel contain some special ingredients, which cannot be bought outside. You can buy them in the store of the Academic Affairs Building, but you must use coupons.

It's just that for the sake of looking good, it's impossible to order them in boxes, and you can only take them one by one.

Not long after, Marlowe's voice came from the blue shell in Karen's ear:

"breakfast."

Karen walked out of the room and came to the elevator. After the elevator door opened, Karen saw his little cousin again.

The whole day passed, Richard was mostly in the elevator except for going to the bathroom briefly, and this elevator, except for those who wanted to enter this floor, no one would enter.

This also meant that throughout the day, he was almost in a state of meditating alone in a confined space.

But he didn't complain at all. Every time the elevator door opened, he looked energetic. It wasn't an act, because Karen couldn't see the slightest bit of dissatisfaction from Richard's slight expression.

Thinking about it in another way, Karen felt that if the team had assigned him to this position in the first mission with the same family background, he would feel unbalanced in his heart.

Therefore, the ideological awareness of my little cousin is higher than my own.

Richard pushed the dining car with breakfast out, then turned around and went back to the elevator.

Karen picked up a plate and put some bread and sausages in it with tongs. The breakfast for three people is not divided into three cases. In fact, it can feed six or seven adults.

After putting away the plate full of food, Karen walked over again, pressed the elevator, but the elevator didn't go down, and was still on the original floor. After the elevator door opened again, Karen took the plate and walked in with a large glass of orange juice.

Immediately, the elevator doors closed.

Richard looked at Karen with some doubts, and Karen asked, "Didn't you have breakfast?"

"No."

Karen handed him a fork, and then sat down. Seeing that Richard was still standing, Karen beckoned, "Sit down, let's have breakfast first."

"okay."

Richard sat down obediently and began to eat.

Karen took a sip of the large glass of orange juice, then handed it to Richard, who also took a sip.

"Isn't it boring?" Karen asked.

Richard shook his head and said, "This is my position and responsibility."

"Well, do things well, the captain and the others must be aware of your attitude, and they will be able to assign a better position when there is a task next time."

"But I think guarding the elevator is a very important position, because there are formations around the hotel, and inside the hotel, between each floor and between each room, there are also formations and prohibitions. Barriers, including this elevator, also have formations.

Therefore, anyone who can enter this floor must pass by me. Here, it is very important. "

"Yes." Karen nodded.

Richard took a bite of the sausage, and continued: "When Bishop Berne went down, he seemed to be thinking about something, and he was a little hesitant."

"Oh?" Karen was a little surprised that this little cousin was actively observing everyone, and most importantly, he was willing to share with himself.

This means that he has always had a sense of closeness to himself, completely treating himself as his true self.

"Bishop Berne, my grandfather once mentioned him, saying that although he is a relatively low-ranking first-level bishop in the Yorktown region, his real influence is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The first-level bishop in the Yorktown region is very Probably just a simple identity he needs right now."

There is also a distinction between bishops and bishops, which increase gradually from 1 to 9, but in a normal sense, this is only linked to treatment.

In fact, there is a common problem in the internal structure of the Church of Order, or most of the churches, that is, the four aspects of position, realm, power and responsibility, and influence cannot be truly sorted.

From the servants of the gods, the gods, and the priests, to the judges, adjudicators, and judges, then the bishops of the districts, and then the bishops of higher levels. For example, the York City district is equivalent to the country of Ruilan. In terms of the regional level, the Weienguo District surpasses the Ruilan Country District in terms of level. The difference here is a bit like the civil servant system in the city and the civil servant system in the state.

The reason for the confusion is that most of the realm and official title of the Cult of Order overlap. The same title can represent both the position and the realm.

In extreme cases, if the contribution is large enough or the status is high enough, even a servant of the gods can be a judge or even a higher-level position, because even the most hard-fisted Order of God, this church is really responsible for fighting People are not the majority.

For example, his grandfather Diss has always been a judge, but even Rasma will feel scared when he comes to the city where his grandfather lives.

To give another example in front of me, Richard is a god priest, but his certificate is a god servant. He has reached the realm of a judge, but he still holds a god servant certificate.

When the above-mentioned judges are above, the realm and position will be decoupled and different expressions will be adopted.

The reason for this chaotic system is that the development and growth of religions are inherently uneven. It is not like ink dripping into clear water, and the color will gradually change after stirring. The continuous see-saw has formed a relatively stable dynamic.

When he first learned about this, Karen compared this phenomenon in his mind to the time when warlords scuffle, the commander of this family, the commander of that family, even a gang of bandits can get the rank of colonel or major general, calling himself a brigade commander or division commander; The combat effectiveness of the position, military rank, and territorial forces is almost a mess.

But no matter what, the first-level bishop of York City is already considered a very high position. If this position is only used temporarily, how high is the real status of Bishop Berne?

After all, he was able to let his son go to Pamires to teach undercover, and eventually become the existence of the Son of God. In this, he must have helped.

"I think Bishop Bern may have doubts in his heart." Richard said, "And the doubts are much heavier than when he got on the elevator."

After seeing your own son, are you more preoccupied?

Karen believed Richard's observation, because no matter how good an actor is, it is impossible to act all day long, and Richard's position is so ordinary that he can ignore it directly. People who get on and off the elevator probably don't bother to deliberately tense themselves in front of him.

"In addition, there is the captain."

"team leader?"

"The captain took the elevator up early."

"Well, I know that."

It seems that the captain has been hiding in this layer waiting for the effect of the medicine to take effect.

"When the captain went down, I could feel the captain seemed to be smiling."

"Laughing? Did you hear the captain's voice?"

Karen remembered that the captain was wearing a mask tonight.

"Shoulders, slightly trembling." Richard said.

"Oh, I see."

When going down, the captain should have just finished the conversation with himself, and he also told the captain his doubts, so, what is the captain laughing at?

"Your observation is very important." Karen said, "Next time if there are other tasks, I will arrange you by my side."

"Okay." Richard smiled happily.

After finishing breakfast with Richard, Karen stepped out of the elevator and pushed the dining car back to her suite.

The quilt was kicked down by two women again.

The view from the bed could be seen more clearly, um, whiter, because the sunlight had come in from outside, replacing the dim warm lamp in the room.

Fanny herself is very white, with her plumpness.

If you ignore the scars on her body, they are actually white.

Under this background angle, the scene on the bed is like an oil painting, two women, two different beauty presentations and textures.

Karen put her hand on the dining car and admired it carefully for a while.

Since it looks good, then look at it normally, they don't mind anyway.

Xi Cai opened his eyes, sat up, and stretched his waist towards Karen: "I smell the smell of food."

"Well, wash up and eat breakfast." Karen said.

Xi Cai was naked, got out of bed, walked to the dining car, and asked, "Can I pretend that I just woke up and was still dazed, and give me a kiss first, so that I can start the day's work in a good mood."

"Then my good mood for the day will be affected."

"Why?"

"You don't know how heavy your breath is when you wake up? What's more, you still smoke and drink."

"Heh... heh... heh heh!"

Xi Cai stared angrily at Karen,

"Karen, the thing I regret most now is that I didn't rape you on the sofa in the captain's office when we first met!"

"Unfortunately, you don't have this opportunity now."

Xie Yao turned around, turned his back to Karen, bent over and shook twice, and said:

"But I don't mind you leaving a few red marks on me with the big sword that Miss Ophelia gave you."

Fanny sat up from the bed and said with a smile, "Oh, did it start early in the morning, a game of desperately trying to save your injured self-esteem and shattered charm?"

Xie Cai said to Fanny: "I'm not the only one who needs to be rescued, haha, I didn't see you wearing this kind of underwear last time, it seems that you really mind."

"Let's have breakfast. There is a welcome banquet in the morning. I think since we are in a state of silence, the banquet must be very simple. There are not many people participating. We probably... are not even qualified to eat." Karen said.

Xie Cao: "You are quite right."

Fanny nodded and said, "That's right."

The two women went into the bathroom to wash up, while Karen sat on the sofa, leaned back slightly, and looked out the window. For some reason, the image of Eunice couldn't help appearing in his mind.

After washing and dressing, Fanny walked out of the bathroom, and smiled while eating breakfast:

"Thinking about your girlfriend?"

"No, I was thinking about what happened last night."

Xie Cao just came out of the bathroom and scolded: "Oh, damn it, the two of us don't even have the ability to remind you of your girlfriend now!"

Karen replied: "After all, they are not in the same age group."

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

The two women cursed together, Fanny gave Karen the middle finger, and Xiezi bit off a sausage.

Next, is the waiting time.

At 10:30, Karen knocked on Derius' door with Michelle and Fanny. Derius opened the door. He was wearing yesterday's divine robe. He looked very good, with a solemn and sacred air. Breath, it's hard to imagine him having that image last night.

The welcome banquet was held in a small hall. Karen, Xie Mao, and Fanny entered the banquet hall, but there were only three long tables in the banquet hall.

Cardinals such as Dereus and Byrne sat at one table, and the other two tables were occupied by people brought by Dereus and the negotiating clerks from the Cult of Order.

The three of Karen could only stand on the edge, not to mention eating, they didn't even have chairs to sit on, they could only serve as a background wall; it was really fortunate that they ate a full breakfast on purpose.

When it comes to the merger of the two churches, the meetings between the two parties seem to be a bit small, but considering that the results of the negotiations will be passed on to the real high-level appraisals of both parties, all this seems normal again.

There were no lengthy speeches or speeches. The banquet went on very quickly, and everyone seemed to be just trying to follow a formality.

After the banquet, the negotiations that were originally scheduled to start at 2:00 p.m. were brought forward to start immediately.

The conference hall is not big, but this time there is no isolation, because no one present can leave the hotel until the negotiation is over, so naturally there is no need to keep it secret.

The specific content of the contract does not need to be kept secret, because the result of successful negotiations is that the Pamiresian Cult will be merged into the Cult of Kosmos, and they will be one family at that time. The rest of the family.

During the last meeting, both Fanny and Xie were dozing off incessantly. They thought it was a kind of mental torture, and asked Karen to remind them by pinching their thighs for fear of snoring in their sleep.

But this time, they didn't feel the slightest sense of fatigue. They sat up straight and listened carefully, as if they had become extremely concerned about the future of the divine religion in an instant.

First, Derius made the request on behalf of the Pamires Church. To sum it up, the Pamires Church declared that it belonged to the Order of God, and changed the records of the mythology in the scriptures of the doctrine. In terms of dealing with the relationship, keep pace with the Cult of Order.

On the Sect of Order’s side, Leon’s grandfather, who is the chief bishop of York City, put forward the request on the Sect of Order’s side. Focusing on "Light of Symmetra", the teachings of the Pamiresian religion have an additional volume in it;

The educational affairs organization of the Pamires Church will be split up and merged into various departments of the Cult of Order, and it is also emphasized that the Pamires Cult is best at space magic and the creation of space sacred objects, which will be in the Order Under the religious department, a branch department that belongs exclusively to the Pamiresian religion is added;

The messenger space must open the door to the Temple of Order, and the two spaces will build a permanent teleportation formation, and the Cult of Order will control the operation of the formation.

The respective requirements of the two parties cannot be called discrepancies, they are simply worlds apart.

But just like doing business, only when the price is raised first, then there is room for bargaining.

Next, the two sides started a fierce quarrel and debate, throwing paper and pens at each other, there was no image of a priest at all, and even the aunt who sold herring in the market was more civilized than them when they quarreled.

At the height of the quarrel:

Pamires taught the three negotiating priests here to take off their robes, knelt on the ground, and shouted, "If this is the case, I would rather die than give in!"

The two judges on the Cult of Order rolled up their sleeves and shouted, "What's the point of merging? Go directly to the messenger space and destroy Pamiles!"

However, both parties were dragged back by the people of their respective negotiating teams, and then continued to quarrel.

Karen also listened with gusto at first,

But looking at Derius, who was leading a delegation to fight for the best treatment and retention rights from the Cult of Order, he remembered that he had shouted in front of himself: Are you doubting my loyalty to Order?

Alas, Karen sighed silently. Now, what is old Saman doing?

perhaps,

He is discussing the details of his funeral with Alfred.
