13 Mink Street

"Order, I'm coming back soon?"

Karen threw the internal magazines at hand on the desk, and there were many confidential documents piled up on the desk, not only from within the Cult of Kosmos, but also from foreign teachers.

Taking advantage of the background of the desert warfare and using Karen's achievements in harvesting heads in the desert as a ladder, Foden successfully won intelligence work on the desert from the Holy See.

This is a breakthrough, and the Whipkeeper will definitely not be satisfied with just a desert. His ultimate goal is to turn the Whip of Order into an investigative agency targeting the entire church circle.

Restoring the status of Whip of Order in the church at its peak is only the first step for him. What he wants is to surpass.

In fact, Whip of Order's external intelligence work has been going on all the time, but it was just done silently before. Now, with the curtain lifted, it can be done openly, and more resources within the church can be mobilized to help Serve yourself.

Therefore, with Karen's current status in the Whip of Order, he can sit in his office and "enjoy" the intelligence network from the entire system.

Karen picked up the ice water in front of him, took a sip, and asked, "What do you think?"

At this time, Alfred, Leon and Vic were sitting in the office.

The two young men, Leon and Vic, seem to be picked up and soaked in ink every day, and even their temperament is becoming more and more cold and solemn.

Therefore, a platform is really important to a person's development. On a suitable platform, the growth of these two young people is like a broiler chicken that has been given hormones in a chicken farm, matured visible to the naked eye.

However, Karen also knew in his heart that he was also the same. The current self was different from the self in Ruilan and the self that had just arrived in Wayne.

Leon was the first to speak: "According to the summaries of many parties, this matter is highly credible. From the current point of view, it should be an obvious miracle of the Reincarnation Sect, indicating that the God of Reincarnation is about to return."

Vic took out a bottle of essential oil from his pocket, rubbed it under his nose, sniffed it, and said:

"The truth must be true. With the current situation of the Reincarnation God, even if they want to boost internal morale and strengthen internal cohesion, they should not use this method, because it will cause hostility and isolation in the entire church circle, and even, more irreparable consequences.

My church’s change in the past few days was interpreted by the outside world as the return of my master, which indirectly led to the unity of the church circle and the confrontation with my church in the desert area.

It is because my teaching is powerful and profound, forcing other churches to be reluctant to be the first tortoise to stick their heads out for the time being.

Otherwise, an all-out war is likely to break out now, and other orthodox churches will join hands to destroy our religion before our Lord comes.

Therefore, the change of reincarnation must be true. "

Karen nodded, and said: "The first thing the Reincarnation Sect did after the change was to deal with it in an all-round low-key manner, and did not actively publicize it to the outside world. Moreover, they sent a special envoy to Ding Ge immediately. District, please see me to teach senior management."

Leon said: "Is this trying to hug a group to keep warm, but I don't think it makes any sense to do so."

Alfred shook his head, smiled and said: "The significance is very great. We can't just look at the general direction when looking at a problem. Sometimes we really should dig into the details. For example, in this matter, I think the Reincarnation God The first purpose of sending a special envoy to teach me may not be to form an alliance and form a group, because the voice resounding above the Samsara Valley said: Order, I will be back soon.

Even if it is purely for the purpose of interpreting the divine language issued by his own master god, Samsara must ask me to teach him now. "

Leon asked: "Then Mr. Alfred, how do you think this sentence should be interpreted?"

Alfred replied: "It mainly depends on the punctuation marks, plus the tone."

Alfred, a former radio presenter with a great sensitivity to voice, continued:

"For example, you can:

[Order, am I coming back soon? 】

It can also be like this:

[Order, I'm coming back soon. 】

It could even be like this:

[Order, I'm coming back soon! 】”

In the last paragraph, both Leon and Vic subconsciously lowered their heads to try not to laugh.

"Hehehe." Karen smiled.

Leon and Vic couldn't bear it anymore and laughed.

Alfred looked at his young master, and said, "Master, this subordinate has studied this information in detail and integrated many details and clues. Personally, this subordinate believes that the most likely interpretation of this sentence should be:

[Order, you can't stop me anymore, I'm coming back soon, you can't stop my coming after all. 】”

Karen picked up the water glass again, took a sip, and said, "I agree with your interpretation."

Vic and Leon looked at each other and agreed in their hearts. Without him, this sentence was completely shouted by the god of reincarnation to his own district chief from the perspective of the two of them.

Alfred said: "Vic, Leon, you guys go to work first."

"Yes, Mr. Alfred."

"Well, there just happens to be a small meeting coming up."

Vic and Leon got up and left the mayor's office. They didn't feel aggrieved because they couldn't stay and participate in the discussion, because they recognized that Alfred's status in this group was different from theirs.

After they left, Alfred said: "Master, based on the clues we have obtained in the past, and what the Eternal Spear you met in the sealed dormitory building of the University of Order said, we now really have reason to believe that this era The fact that the gods did not come out really has a direct relationship with the previous God of Order."

In fact, not only these clues, Karen once heard the words of the god of war in the dream pool created by [Scythe of War], he was asking order, can I come back?

Riliersa drew the end of the God of Order, but was personally suppressed by the God of Order, but according to various signs, the relationship between the God of Order and Raliersa in the early days seems to be good.

As well as the God of Order's own character, he doesn't seem to bother to make an immediate angry shot for a painting, just because this behavior offends his majesty?

Or, in the ending picture drawn by Railiersa... there are other clues, and this clue cannot be made public, because it involves what the God of Order will do in the future.

From the end of the last era to the beginning of this era, there was a period of confusion in the historical records of the major god religions. Then, this era came, and the stories of the gods became legends, which also shows that the end of the last era will inevitably happen. What is an extremely far-reaching event, and as the overlord of that period, how could this event have nothing to do with the God of Order?

Reminiscent of the God of Order exiling hunger addiction into the long stream of time and throwing it on himself, it really feels like shedding the last burden on her body and going all out to complete one thing.

Karen has no affiliation with the previous God of Order, but Karen will consider himself as an anchor when thinking about problems.

The prophecy of "the return of the gods" has always been there, but the real change and the belief of the gods are still after I wake up.

In order to wake himself up, Diss presided over the super-standard divine descent ceremony, which led to the "hungry addiction", and by the way, himself.

In order to develop himself, Diss detonated a piece of godhead and blew up the temple. That explosion could almost be said to be the prelude to "Return of the Gods", at least, according to the cognition of the church circle.

Back then, Ophelia from Dark Moon Island had told her about it in the elevator, which meant that the prophecy had officially come true from that moment on.

"Alfred, I've always had a feeling..."

Alfred quietly waited for the young master to continue without urging him.

Karen was silent for a while, and continued: "We used to habitually regard 'Return of the Gods' as a timeline. We are racing against time, trying to do more and prepare more before that timeline arrives." Something to deal with that elusive era of new rules.

But now, I feel more and more that this perception is inappropriate..."

Karen paused again.

Alfred answered in a low voice: "Master, what do you mean?"

Karen pursed his lips, looked at Alfred, pointed to his face, and asked:

"Is there a possibility that I... am the timeline?"

Alfred: "..."

"I don't know why, but this feeling has been getting stronger and stronger recently. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"No, no, but my subordinates feel that your feelings, young master, are probably right. The God of Order exiled hunger addiction to the future. You have inherited hunger addiction, and you have also embarked on the path of order. According to reason , the stronger you are, the weaker the God of Order will be...

Therefore, if it is true that the God of Order blocked time and kept the gods in the previous era, then when his power gradually weakens, it is only natural that the gods break through the God of Order and gradually return . "

"Alfred, there is a contradiction here, and it is also something I can't figure out, that is, recently my strength and realm have stayed at the stage of God's servant for a long time, but the God of Reincarnation can show miracles.

Does this mean that even without my existence, the God of Order's obstruction is constantly being weakened, and he may not have been able to permanently block it. "

Even Karen is unwilling to be this "original sin".

After all, if you really think about it according to this set of logic, your own improvement is digging the corner of order and destroying the dam of order.

On the other hand, Karen believed in the idea that the gods should not return. This world should not be manipulated by the gods. He also recognized the rules formulated by the Cult of Order.

"Master..." Alfred hesitated for a moment, and continued to speak, "This, my subordinate can explain it. Your realm may not have improved recently, but..."

"but what?"

"Your position, power, influence, and the resources you can mobilize have recently been greatly improved."

Karen folded her arms and closed her eyes.

There was a period of silence in the office.

Alfred stood up, walked to the desk, and said softly: "Master, we are not sure whether the guess is true, it is very likely that this is just ours..."

"It's okay." Karen opened his eyes and shook his head, "Are you going to comfort me?"

"The subordinates feel that you may be troubled by this matter."

"No, I won't be distressed." Karen stretched out his hand and stroked the "Symme" that was placed on the desk of almost every Priest of Order, "If you can see the essence of things a little more, you can go a little less No need to worry."

"Master..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I won't affect my progress because of this conjecture, because even if this logic is correct, then there are nothing but two roads before me.

Or, do nothing, leave the Cult of Order now, go to a place that no one knows to live the life of ordinary people, and at the same time pray that the previous God of Order will block it forever, and will never be corroded or broken.

Or, just do what should be done, work hard to go up, so what if the time comes when the gods return, at worst, just learn from my predecessors, and then put them in a cage. "

"Young master is wise."

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the office, and Vic opened the door and reported:

"District Chief, the communication meeting invitation from the Dinger District Headquarters is very high-level and hosted by the whip."

...

"Let's have a meeting."

There are also a lot of documents in front of the whipman, and they are basically concentrated on the miracles in the Valley of Reincarnation. This is the most important event in the entire church circle right now, and it directly involves the political layout of the church circle.

It's just that the documents on the whipman's desk are much richer and more detailed than those on Karen's desk, and there are even observation reports from the Temple of Order.

"Yes, whipman."

Miguel is clear that the "meeting" mentioned by the whip is different from the annual meeting of the system held not long ago. This meeting does not depend on the position. Of course, the positions of those who can participate in this meeting will not be low in the system, and Without exception, they are all direct descendants of the whip holder.

With the rise of the High Priest, the Whipmaster has officially taken over the Whip of Order. Just like the High Priest centralizes power in the Holy See, the Whipkeeper has been speeding up his control of the Whip of Order system, but just as the High Priest also needs to reach a tacit agreement with other factions Seeking support, it is impossible for the whip holder to replace all the old people in the whip of order, and managing a huge system is by no means such a barbaric and simple matter.

But there are still real circles of direct descendants, and that is the core backbone who was the first to rely on the whip-handler and was promoted by the whip-handler himself. Their existence is also the key for the whip-handler to firmly grasp the system.

Just like Foden himself, looking up, he also belongs to the circle of the high priest's direct line, because there are a group of system leaders like him, and the high priest can control the Holy See.

Now, Foden needs to convene them, and first hold an internal analysis seminar to solicit their opinions on this matter.

Miguel asked, "Whipkeeper, do you need Karen, the Mayor of La York City, to participate in this meeting?"

The pen in Foden's hand stopped, and he was waiting for an explanation and reason.

Miguel immediately continued: "Because District Chief Karen once entered the gate of reincarnation and participated in the trial, the subordinates feel that he may have his own ideas about the gate of reincarnation."

"Um."

The whipman responded, which was an expression of agreement.

Participating in this meeting is an attempt to enter the direct line of the Whipkeeper. Although it is only temporary for special reasons, you can come a few more times. Others, including the Whipkeeper, may also acquiesce.

Miguel turned around to arrange the meeting invitation, and at the same time he was also feeling in his heart: Why does this Karen have so much experience?

He didn't think of the reason just to intercede for Karen, but after thinking of the reason, he unconsciously involved Karen.

Therefore, sometimes, even if someone above is willing to guide you to help you get along, you must have real skills yourself. In this way, it will not only be easy for them to mention, but also very pleasant.

Karen entered the communication formation in advance. After the formation was activated, the surrounding scene became a round table conference hall with a large round table in the middle, and Karen's position was on the chairs around the periphery.

The seats are arranged by the headquarters. After the participants connect to the communication circle, they will automatically sit at the set positions.

The meeting started a quarter of an hour later. Five minutes after Karen came in, people appeared in various seats. Some people Karen knew. During the last meeting, they were either sitting on the rostrum or in the front row. Some people, Karen I haven't seen it.

But these people should be very familiar with each other. After "seating", they began to greet each other. From time to time, some people deliberately glanced at Karen, but they all wore kind and gentle smiles.

After all, except for Miguel and the Whipkeeper, no one knew that Karen was only temporarily drawn in, and they would only subconsciously think that Karen had been selected into their circle by the Whipkeeper.

This circle is much smaller than the academic school, and its influence is not as good as the academic school, but its cohesion and combat effectiveness are absolutely strong, and it almost represents the will of the entire Whip of Order system.

If you can officially join in, you will really be a family. In this system, almost no one dares to bully or trip you;

The only extra thing that needs to be done is to pray for the whipper Foden every day when praying to the God of Order, because once the "parent" of Foden falls, there is a high probability that everyone will end up being the next whipkeeper Give direct purge exile.

The whip bearer appeared, and everyone saluted to the whip bearer.

The whipman nodded and got straight to the point: "Talk about the miracle in the Samsara Valley."

There is no lengthy prologue, no cumbersome formality, this is an internal tea party, and soon, everyone begins to express their opinions. Behind each of them, there is their own staff system, which can be regarded as the wisdom and thinking cohesion within the system.

It's very similar to Karen's communication with Alfred Vick in the office just now, but the level is higher and the influence will be greater.

Karen sat there and listened, and got more information details, but from the perspective of interpretation, he didn't find anything new, and even because of his limited thinking, Karen felt a little superficial.

This is inevitable, after all, Alfred's perspective of interpretation is based on the fact that the God of Order is sitting in front of him.

Even Vic and Leon's level of understanding of this matter far surpasses the adults present here.

Soon, the direction of the meeting began to turn to pragmatism, discussing how to use the miracle of the Reincarnation Religion to operate and operate. As the definite First Returning God and the Second Returning God, at least for now, it is necessary to "unite "Together, even if the two religions fought war not long ago.

But this kind of thing is just like two children fighting. In the eyes of adults, it is nothing. Maybe the two children are beaten to pieces, bleeding and crying, and the two adults can still sit together. Clink glasses and laugh.

God is an adult, and the church is a child. Nothing is more important than welcoming the coming of the Lord God.

However, Karen found that as the discussion deepened, Foden's face began to become more and more gloomy.

In this meeting, Foden will not deliberately hide his emotions, after all, they are all "one of us".

It wasn't just Karen who noticed this, but other people still had to continue to discuss and express their opinions. The whipkeeper had already framed the scope of the topic, and they had to take the initiative to fill it in.

Foden was really upset, because he actually agrees with what his subordinates have discussed, and it is completely from the perspective of the gods. Many words and ideas can be directly used by him in the face of the high priest. , if... the high priest is not called Norton.

Why was the great undead magician Molindi in the underground world of the Crypt God Sect imprisoned, and why was she executed... because as a member of the former high priest's lineage, she discovered a secret of the high priest.

Merindi believes that the high priest betrayed the god of order; her loyalty to the god of order surpassed her loyalty to Norton.

However, was Mo Lindi really the only one who discovered this secret?

Of course not, someone found out, but pretended not to find out, and one of them was Foden.

In terms of other affairs, Foden can cooperate with the high priest unconditionally, but only on this point...he has no way to do so.

Pretending to know nothing, not knowing the secret of the high priest, ran to the high priest and talked about that we should cooperate with reincarnation, and seek the safest way to welcome the return of our lord?

But the problem is... Foden felt that the high priest might know that he knew his secret.

As for the high priest, what disgusts him the most is the insincerity of his subordinates. The kind of Merindi who pointed out in person that the high priest betrayed the God of Order was still imprisoned for decades before the high priest officially took office before being executed secretly. In the past, those who tried to cheat in front of the high priest often did not survive the second day.

Finally, the discussion gradually stopped.

Foden took a deep breath in his heart. He knew that the high priest would hold an internal meeting soon, and he would need to speak at that time. He had just obtained the intelligence work authorization, so he couldn't shut up and pretend to be dumb at the meeting.

But what should I say?

I can't make it clear that our high priest seems to have a little dislike for our God of Order, and doesn't really want my lord's return, so please give me a different way to discuss it?

Forget it, think about it again. Just as Foden was about to end the meeting, he suddenly thought of a person who hadn't spoken a single word since the beginning of the meeting.

People tend to have inertial thinking. When you get used to a person under your hand constantly doing things well, you will habitually expect him. Of course, once this inertia is formed, whenever that person fails to do a good job Well, that disappointment will also be doubled.

Foden said, "Karen."

Karen immediately stood up and replied: "I am honored and excited to be able to participate in this meeting..."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Obviously, Karen's answer made them a little incomprehensible. After discussing for so long, did this young man really not listen at all?

Foden frowned slightly. What was Karen talking about? Did he call him here to give an acceptance speech?

Foden raised his hand, ready to end the meeting.

"...If it was before, even if I wanted to enter here to participate in the meeting, I would definitely be blocked. This time, no one blocked me, and I came in..."

Foden just raised his hand halfway and stopped.

"...So, I am really grateful for your recognition and encouragement, and even more grateful for your support from the whip holder."

Foden put his hand down, looked at Karen thoughtfully, and said:

"This is what you deserve."

...

Office Temple of the Cult of Order.

The high priest sat there, listening to the reports of the people below. Basically, everyone showed an optimistic and open attitude towards the miracle of the Reincarnation Sect. After all, the miracle of reincarnation further confirmed their own order The return of the god of reincarnation, didn't you hear that the god of reincarnation greeted his own god of order in advance?

Some people have even suggested that the god of reincarnation will return hand in hand with my lord.

From beginning to end, the high priest said very little, just listening.

After the meeting lasted for a while, the high priest asked, "Foden, why didn't you speak, or did you say that your Whip of Order didn't even collect information for you?"

Foden stood up and said, "High Priest, I don't speak because I don't agree with what they said earlier, and I don't agree with the plan they formulated, and I don't think that the miracle of reincarnation is important to my Kosmos. , is a good thing.

Because, everyone seems to have overlooked a possibility, which can change the nature of the whole thing in an instant. "

"Tell me."

"Have you ever thought about it, what if it is the god of reincarnation that my lord sealed off, making him unable to return?"

All the bosses in the audience showed shocked expressions.

Foden continued:

"If this is the case, then, will the return of the God of Reincarnation be a good thing for my Order God?"

The high priest said solemnly:

"Foden is right. Our every move will directly affect the operation of the entire Christianity of Kosmos, and we can't think about everything in a positive way; therefore, I think there is no need to worry about the so-called olive branch thrown by the Christianity of Reincarnation. Next.

On this point, I will declare at the round table meeting and communicate with the temple.

Ladies and gentlemen, I firmly believe that the great Lord will surely return.

But I am even more convinced that when our Lord returns, he will definitely not want to see us kneeling on the ground with our buttocks raised, only waiting for his coming to save us;

Instead, I hope to see that even if he is not there, his followers are still maintaining the rules of order at all costs!

Therefore, next,

What I teach is to do everything possible to prevent the return of the god of reincarnation.

Because, the god of reincarnation once destroyed the order between life and death.

so,

The coming of the god of reincarnation violated the "Order Regulations"! "
