13 Mink Street

Night, bedroom, study room.

Alfred was sitting at his desk, writing a letter of apology.

If the soul could have a concrete manifestation, then Alfred's desk, oh no, the entire bedroom, would be filled with reflection coupons at this time.

Alfred believed that tonight's dinner was a failure.

The reason it fails is...it's not perfect.

At the dinner, the young master frowned several times, and the direct cause of all this was his work mistakes.

I pursued and enjoyed the pleasure of preaching too much, thereby blurring the boundaries. It can also be said that I did the job "too well", which made the individual events unable to match the overall plan and made it run poorly. qualified.

The more I wrote, the more I wrote, and the paper became thicker and thicker.

But suddenly, Alfred stopped and put down his pen.

"Snapped."

Patting his forehead lightly, Alfred realized that he had made another mistake, that is, the young master did not even bother to read the work documents as long as they were handled by him, so how could the young master look at his work? Where is the heavy letter of apology?

Obviously, I can go directly to the young master to admit my mistakes in person, and use a more concise and efficient way to recognize and solve problems, but now that I have written so many things, I have committed a formalism problem and violated what the young master wanted. Principles of teamwork.

As for the principles of getting along...

"Snapped."

Alfred patted his forehead lightly again. He realized that he had made another mistake. He did not formulate the principles for getting along within the believer team in advance.

"Well, if it weren't for the fact that the young master trusts me and cares about me, with my abilities, I wouldn't be worthy of the position of the young master's personal servant."

Alfred threw away the self-reflection book and began to draft the "Principles of Behavior for Believers to Relate to each other", which he planned to announce at the next collective learning and exchange meeting.

As for the specific content, Alfred will not ask the young master, but will make a summary based on the way he and the young master have been getting along for so long.

At this time, images of the young master discussing problems with him again and again began to appear in his mind, especially that time on Fire Island, when the young master leaned against the bed in despair because of Mr. Teixin's "beating", and talked with him. Have a question-and-answer exchange.

"Article 1: Everyone is equal among believers."

This is a politically correct statement within the Cult of Kosmos.

Alfred hesitated for a moment, and the tip of his pen trembled slightly, but in the end he crossed out this sentence and wrote it again:

Believers, and between believers and God, are equal in terms of ideological and personality status. (The concept of God will be elaborated and cognitively guided later).

Alfred felt that the path the young master took and the people who would gather now and in the future should be dominated by the Cult of Kosmos, so the various rules and regulations from the beginning would inevitably have the shadow of the Cult of Kosmos. At the same time, you must also add something unique of your own.

Otherwise, if there is no difference between the New Order God Religion and the Old Order God Religion after the young master, then what is the meaning and driving force of replacing the old with the new?

On my side, in accordance with the young master's consistent request, I must lower the concept of [God] from the order from the very beginning.

Although this is somewhat logically inconsistent.

Because a large part of the confidence our group can build and develop in the future comes from the fact that we have “God”;

Without "God", what is the difference between our group and other ideological factions within the Cult of Kosmos? Wouldn't it be another "Da Vinci"?

Because of "God", we can develop and have a future, but our future cannot rely on "God".

It is too unrealistic to rely on the power of "gods" while trying to suppress the status of "gods", even if it is the young master's "god" who proposes this concept.

Alfred felt that this was like requiring an army to be able to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy bravely during wartime, but also requiring it to put down its guns and all violence in peacetime to willingly perform volunteer services.

How could there be such a strange army in this world?

"call……"

It is impossible for anyone to form such an army.

Alfred pursed his lips. This question had actually troubled him for a long time. Every time the young master reiterated the concept of "denying God", he would fall into this kind of thinking.

However, Alfred is not decadent. He believes that the young master must have a plan and a "blueprint" in his heart.

"Article 2: Methods of internal communication among believers..."

"Article 3:..."

After Alfred finished writing the terms, he looked up and found that it was already dawn. When he looked at the time again, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

He got up, took a shower, and changed into a dark blue tight-fitting suit. While washing his hands carefully, he looked in the mirror to check his appearance.

Although he didn't sleep all night, Alfred was still in high spirits. He always had a high degree of subjective initiative in the work assigned to him by the young master.

Especially after receiving the inheritance from Compassini, he did not have much training in combat, and he did not deliberately develop in that direction. He mainly used it in handling various affairs.

For example, when analyzing one thing and dealing with a problem, he can simulate dozens or hundreds of possible scenarios in his mind at the same time to make calculations. This is also the development route that Alfred himself changed;

Because he feels that there is no shortage of "thugs" around the young master. In the future, the 12 knights will also supplement this aspect of strength, and the young master himself is a very comprehensive strong man.

Therefore, just do your own affairs well. The young master will always lack a steward who is trustworthy and capable.

And this is also the reason why Alfred has been able to develop from a strange demon in Luojia City to one that can now suppress the former high priest student in terms of transaction processing capabilities.

He has been studying hard and never stopped.

Alfred came to the young master's bedroom and knocked on the door. The doorbell rang inside. Alfred opened the door and came in. He saw the young master sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a tea cup and looking at the green shade in front of him.

"Alfred, when you wake up and see the large yard outside the window where you can run horses and play golf, it's really pleasant."

“But that’s why you chose to move out of the estate in the first place, because you wanted to get away from this comfort.”

For Karen at that time, becoming a "noble", enjoying the "noble" life, guarding a beautiful fiancée, and there is no shortage of docile maids who serve you and want to be developed into a lover...

This kind of life is something everyone would envy.

And Karen discovered that she actually started to enjoy this feeling, and after even trying to accept the Venn noble food, she decisively decided to leave here and rent a house in York City to live on her own.

Alfred felt that part of the reason why the young master could not accept Wein Daojiang so far was because Wein Daojiang had another meaning for the young master, such as corruption and depravity.

"Master, I need to review what happened last night to you."

Karen raised his hand and interrupted Alfred's review: "Okay, just realize that you did something a little wrong. I believe you will reflect and improve, and you will definitely do better next time. Let’s just skip this step.”

"Okay, Master."

Alfred was not surprised at all by the young master's reaction. This was the young master's unconditional trust in him.

For Karen, many times he has found that he has nothing to teach Alfred. Many of his current consciousness and ideas are ahead of his own and more perfect.

Especially after Karen took over the article that Alfred drafted overnight and read on.

"Master, please point out what needs to be deleted here."

"I think it's very good. I don't see anything that needs to be modified at the moment."

"Yes, Master, you are right. Some problems cannot be seen now. We can only wait for them to be exposed or noticed as they develop."

"Yeah...yes, that's what I mean."

"Yes, I understand." Alfred put away the documents and asked, "Master, do you have any plans for today?"

"Yes." Karen took out two books from the foot of the chair. One was the novel "Beas Cabin" and the other was a magic book. "My plan today is to try to finish reading this novel. Then I can have some time left to read this spell book."

With the promotion of Karen's position, his corresponding salary has also increased rapidly, and it has become easier to apply for higher-level spell books.

However, spell learning scrolls are cumbersome, and even if they are borrowed by internal staff, they need to pay a hefty fee. Therefore, Karen prefers this concise and clear "collection edition" book made of ordinary materials. The disadvantage is that the learning efficiency is low. Similarly, the spell learning scroll can be more immersive and accelerate understanding and mastering, but efficiency is not a problem here.

He is often troubled by the problem of understanding things too quickly and using them in the wrong combination.

That is to say, it is too easy to get too many certificates at once, and you will inevitably be in a hurry to find them when you go to the service window.

"Okay, Master, I'm going to give Vic and Leon an ideological education today... no, an ideological exchange class."

"Um."

After Alfred left, Karen put down the tea cup and started to read the book.

"Beas's Cabin" is a fantasy adventure book. The author has added many imaginative elements into it. But Karen's current life is already subversive to ordinary people's imagination, so when reading this book, it can actually Find the feeling of reading "realistic reading".

This look lasted all morning.

When the maid came to ask about lunch midway through, Karen only asked for three snacks and continued reading.

Finally, at 3:30 in the afternoon, Karen finished reading the book.

Closing the book and stretching out comfortably, this experience of spending a relatively long time reading is no less than a climber challenging a peak for those who like reading.

When I think of Rasma's urgent return, I am still "wasting time" here, and the joy of taking a break from my busy schedule is suddenly doubled.

After all, there is no way to gain gains after simply being anxious to a certain extent, and the value of combining work and rest is also reflected.

Karen picked up the spell book and started to flip through it, well, just flip through it.

He actually learned a lot of magic during this period. After all, people have to eat every day. Karen doesn't like to read newspapers while eating, so he naturally learns while eating.

However, just choose the most cost-effective method for each type of magic. Based on your own conditions, you don't have to worry about wasting spiritual power, so the options for monetization are very narrow.

After reading a book, there are only two kinds of techniques worth using. Pu'er and Kevin are usually responsible for the selection work in this area, because no one else is qualified to take on Karen's "perspective".

With his absolutely excellent talent, the belief system of the Immelais family, and two top teachers who are hard to find in the world, it is difficult for Karen's "strength" to improve quickly.

As if there was a connection between them, Karen had just put down her spell book and was about to take a sip of ice water when the door was pushed open.

It was Eunice who walked in.

Karen leaned back and rested her neck on the armchair. Eunice walked behind and naturally pressed Karen's shoulders with her hands.

"Um……"

"Thank you for your hard work," Eunice said.

"Reading novels all day long is nothing like hard work." Karen reached out and grabbed Eunice's hand.

"You didn't have lunch?"

"If you're not hungry, dinner will be delicious no matter how delicious it is."

"I had a day-long chat with Ophelia about costume design today. I think many of the costume elements from Darkmoon Island are very suitable to be added to my design. Well, they are in line with my design concept."

"Due to the geographical environment of Darkmoon Island, the culture on it is actually rather retro. No, it has an ancient feel to it, so it fits the conservative style of your clothing design."

"I found that you really know everything." Eunice looked down at Karen in surprise.

“Everyone seems to know a little bit about everything, but they don’t know much.”

"you are too humble."

"That's truth, not modesty."

"I originally thought you would think the things I designed were not fashionable and avant-garde enough."

"No, fashion and avant-garde things often follow the trend. The trend is like the rising and falling tide of the sea. In fact, many things and elements in essence never change.

Not only clothing design, but also decoration and architectural design. The more closely you follow the trend, the easier it is to look old and outdated in a few years. Instead, it is a retro thing, a conservative thing. It has always been retro and has always been conservative. , the color change is very small.

Of course……"

"Of course what?"

"Some things still need to be updated and keep up with the trend."

Eunice understood what Karen was saying and replied, "I know."

"Said verbally that you know it doesn't count, you have to take a test."

Eunice whispered into Karen's ear: "How about waiting for the evening?"

"Okay, but..."

"But what?"

"I'll give the question."

"good."

"It's not a single-choice question, it's a multiple-choice question."

"good."

"One question is not enough, we need several question types."

Eunice put her side face against Karen's and said:

"You are the examiner, you have the final say."

…

Of course, things at night must be left to the evening.

When night falls, it can not only bury the ugliness of the day, but also cover up the shamelessness that happened inappropriately during the day.

At dusk, Karen asked the people in the manor to bring out the white horse, and he took Eunice and started riding in the manor.

Karen likes this feeling very much, riding a horse, walking in the manor that is at least nominally his own, with his fiancée lying in his arms. This is the picture of most men's lifelong pursuit.

However, when passing by the tomb of the ancestors of the Allen family, Karen couldn't help but take a few more glances at the tombstone of the ancestor Allen.

The ancestor now lives in his own soul space. Of course, he is not "he" and does not have consciousness.

"It seems that all good things are fragile."

"Yes, because it is rare." Eunice said, "That's why people cherish it."

"Um."

If he hadn't "awakened" Count Recar that night, Allen Manor, such a beautiful place, would have become a "pig farm" for the Venn royal family.

…

"I'm going to report to the minister!"

Leon, who was in a state of excitement at work, got into the car with the news he had just received, and was about to drive to find Karen who was out riding a horse. The news was that Suss had confirmed his promotion to the Dingle Region and the candidate for the new district chief. It’s been decided...it’s Judge Gaspar!

"Hey." Vic called to Leon.

"What's wrong? Are you going?" Leon suddenly felt that he was a little too obvious, and immediately said, "You can go, I'll give you the car keys."

Vic shook his head and said, "Go on horseback."

"I'm not very good at horseback riding. I can drive faster."

"This is expected information, so there is no need to rush, but driving will ruin the atmosphere."

"Yes, you make sense! Thank you, Vic!"

Leon immediately got off the car and mounted a horse.

Vic and Alfred continued to walk near the castle, and Vic asked: "I found that the minister respects this marriage."

After Vic came here, he could see clearly the reality of this manor. Regardless of whether it had been glorious in the past, now... it is not really a help.

Alfred actually understood what Vic meant by this sentence, but he did not explain it through the concept of marriage and love, nor did he intend to introduce the relationship between the young master and the manor by the cat named Allen at home. binding;

Instead, he deliberately asked, "You think this marriage doesn't have much practical value, right?"

"Yes." Vic didn't hide it at all, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether the starting point is low or high. I found that everyone around the minister is very talented and works very hard. I also know that Miss Eunice once fell asleep in order to awaken the blood. It’s been half a year, but now, I don’t see Miss Eunice’s sense of crisis.”

"She should have a sense of crisis?"

"Shouldn't it be right? Even if she doesn't know the true identity of the minister, she should be talented based on the minister's current status. But she seems to be just taking her life very seriously."

"if not?"

"What?"

"I'm asking you what if it's not?"

"Sir, I don't know what it means..."

"Otherwise, what is the purpose of the young master's hard work and struggle?"

"this……"

"Actually, Miss Eunice is very smart. She knows what the young master wants."

"I still can't understand it."

"The young master works so hard and dangerously, trying to climb up. If a person is constantly tense and tired, he will become numb, bored, and even confused.

So, at this time, the young master needs to go home and see a person living happily and carefree;

A married man,

Just look at her smile,

Then the hard work and efforts outside can have tangible meaning. "
