13 Mink Street

The carriage was driving, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the climate in the Dinge region was really pleasant.

Karen still remembers that when he first came to Wayne, he often complained in his heart about the terrible weather in Wayne, either the smog was deep or the rain was endless. It was only after he joined the system of the Cult of Kosmos that he realized that for a really busy person Said that the so-called good or bad weather is like the small mural called the window in the office. It will change the background from time to time, but most of the time you simply don't have time to take care of it.

The carriage stopped in front of a retro three-story building, which was a senior club.

Neo has teased Karen more than once, saying that he is the easiest to please the old men.

This is true, because Karen's personality is relatively cold, and when interacting with people of the same age or class, Karen likes to pay for money and goods, and to trade fairly;

That is to say, some old people who have a high status or have retired, they have a higher probability of letting go of their self-interested perspective and treating life and the world with a broader mind, so after taking a fancy to Karen, they are willing to pave the way for this young man they admire He gave it a push and didn't plan to ask for anything in return.

There is no way to repay this kind of debt of favor directly, only to exchange favors for favors.

Therefore, every time he comes to the Dingle area, Karen will come to this senior citizens' club to sit down when he is not busy.

The waiters at the front desk changed into brand new divine robes, put on makeup, and wore headgear. After Karen walked in, they collectively saluted Karen.

Karen nodded and smiled at them, and there was no need to lead the way, because a group of old men had already gathered in the hall of the club.

Those who can enter this retirement club are not ordinary retired priests, but the stratification can still be clearly seen at this time.

Those with higher status before retirement sat and waited until Karen came in before slowly getting up, and they had to deliberately not look at the entrance first, emphasizing a kind of reserve.

The staff of today's club is also very tidy. Some people who have signed up but don't come to participate in one event a year have come here specially this time.

When Karen walked in front of them, most of the old people began to salute Karen.

Karen also earnestly returned the gift.

After saluting each other, many old people felt emotional. The young man in front of him is now sitting in a position that has surpassed the highest position that the group of old men had struggled for all their lives before retiring.

If Karen retires in place now, he will immediately get the "veteran" treatment of this club, can choose the theme of the event he likes, and get the priority to invite widowed old ladies to dance.

Pillow and Levin introduced him before, and Karen's memory is excellent, so they called out each other's name one by one to say hello. Those who had never seen each other were surrounded by mature old people. When Karen greeted the people in front He would call out the other person's name in a low voice for a few words, and Karen would write it down, and then call out the other person's name naturally.

Pirlo didn't come down in a hurry, but stood on the stairs, looking at the scene below, couldn't help but smiled at Levin standing behind him:

"Look, doesn't it look like the leader came to condolences and inspect the old-age treatment of the retired priests of the divine religion?"

Levin joked: "You mean he's hypocritical?"

"When I was a young Karen, it was called politeness; now that I am Minister Karen, it is called approachable; it has nothing to do with hypocrisy."

"Ah."

"Hey, the development momentum of my students who have been brought up by themselves is far less than that of this student who only took one evening public class. Do you know what this means?"

Li Wen replied: "It means that you have seriously misunderstood your children."

"Did I say that your breakfast today is a magic crystal cannonball?"

"Why are you calling so many people? Isn't it a waste of time?"

"Oh, are you blaming me for this? You have to think about it from Karen's point of view. Since you come here once, the benefits will be maximized. Although they are all a group of retired old men and women, although people have retired, students and There are quite a few children in the family, and it will be beneficial to connect with each other. Alright, let's go down."

Pillow and Levin went downstairs, and Karen also took the initiative to meet them.

To these two old people, Karen's attitude was different from before. He saluted more respectfully with Pillow and put himself as a student. He patted Karen on the back vigorously:

"Good job! As expected of..."

After all, in front of so many retired old people, Levin was not ashamed to brag about himself. Most importantly, he knew that he did not teach Karen how to fight, but only taught Karen the skills of close combat, and he was stuck in the class. Lun was beaten to the ground with a "God Servant Certificate".

Karen said:

"After all, he is your student, so you can't embarrass the teacher."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Levin happily patted Karen on the back a few times.

Immediately afterwards, Levin waved to the crowd below, and said to Karen: "Come on, come with me."

Karen was taken up to the second floor by Levin, and entered an activity room, where there was a huge formation sand table, which was exactly the same as the one in Karen's own handsome tent.

The old man who came in with him later could also clearly see the shadow of the Knights in his walking and standing postures.

Levin adjusted the map template, and soon, the terrain of the Chia Grand Canyon appeared, with specific military strength marks on it. Obviously, this group of retired old knights did a lot of self-deduction here based on the front-line battle reports.

"Karen, I just can't figure it out. Why can you accurately capture the location of the Earth God Cult's headquarters? We've seen the battle report, but it's not clearly marked here."

Karen replied: "Because there is an internal response, it is inconvenient to mark it in the battle report."

"Oh, no wonder." Li Wen and the old people were stunned.

Next, Levin started to change the map, and reviewed the battle case with the commander Karen.

It can be seen that these old people have been hungry for a long time.

After a quick replay of the map battles, Li Wen took a deep breath, like an old smoker who had run out of food for a long time and was refilled severely.

"We didn't catch up with the good times. We didn't catch up with the good times. When we really want to fight, we are already old."

A group of retired knights around also echoed. The last major move of the Cult of Kosmos was the "First Day War" against reincarnation, and then this desert battle.

Before that, the Cult of Order hadn't started a formal war for a long time.

Karen said with a smile: "Without you, there would not be peace as long as before."

Hearing this sentence, everyone smiled. In the same way, others said they were just farting, but when Karen said it, they enjoyed it very much. This is a great affirmation.

Levin looked at Karen and said: "We are relieved that the performance of the young people is very good, and it will not make us feel that one generation is not as good as ours. If you play in a mess, we will really suffocate. .

Hey, where's that old Pilo thing? "

It was only then that Levin noticed that Pillow hadn't come in, and he was embarrassed to occupy Karen all the time, so he led Karen out of this activity room and entered another one, with Pillow in it, and a group of elderly formation masters.

This activity room uses a space-stretching formation. The internal environment is enough to fit ten basketball courts. The floor and walls are covered with formation diagrams.

Karen paid attention to the one in front of him, and after observing it, he found that it was a sub-forbidden formation.

After looking at a few more pictures, I found that it was also a formation of this level, and it came from a series called "Sarnan System".

This is a genius formation master in the history of the God of Order. He made up for and modified the inheritance of broken formations left over from the previous era, and created a series of new formations.

However, unlike other formation masters who can name the formation series with their own names, the Sarnan formation formations are not respected by successive generations of formation masters, and his works are not included in the list of commonly used formations.

Because his self-built formations are without exception, all go to extremes. He changed the formations launched by many people to the mode that can be activated by a single person or a small number of people, and carried out formations that required large-scale preparations. The reduction, in short, is to reduce the difficulty of casting the formation from various levels, but the side effects are also obvious, which greatly increases the burden on the formation master.

The physical fitness of the array mages is generally very average, and most of the array mages cannot withstand this kind of consumption.

For the elderly formation masters here, the price of successfully using this kind of sub-forbidden formation is to empty out the few lives they have left.

Pillow walked over and said, "Look, we technical talents are much more useful than fools like them."

Levin immediately retorted: "You fart!"

"Your soul and body are now in a state of decay. It's no problem for you to stand still and fight people one-on-one, but if you put on armor and charge in formation on undead horses, how many rounds can you charge?"

"you……"

Karen asked: "Teacher, why do you want to study the formation of the Sarnan system?"

"We have to prepare, we want to use the remaining heat, this desert war is more like a training for a larger and more tragic war in the future.

You young people prepare young people's, we old guys prepare our own.

As you know, the cost of formation research is not low. Sarnan has researched this set of formations. Even if he is a genius, it is impossible for him to succeed without the divine religion for his research.

Look, like this, this, and this, these sub-forbidden formations can be activated by a team of two people. "

"But it's at the cost of your life."

"It's profitable for us old guys at the cost of our lives. After we die once, we will immediately ask the 'awakened' priest of the First Knight Order to help us 'resurrect', so that we can quickly expel The second time, what a bargain."

Karen was silent.

This is not only treating itself as a consumable on the battlefield, but also planning to recycle it for secondary consumption.

As the former commander of the front-line army, Karen has always known that the Cult of Kosmos has not really suffered from this desert war, and everything is still in the warm-up jogging stage.

Once the real crisis comes, countless followers of order will stand up again, just like the old retired formation masters like Pillow, who will use their lives to defend the glory of order.

Not to mention...the sleeping First Knights.

Even though Karen has reached this position now, he still has no way of knowing how powerful the foundation of the First Knights is. Karen even suspects that even the living managers of the First Knights themselves may not know.

Because there is no way to measure the energy of some things from the list.

In the past, my status was not enough, and I wanted to do many things but had no authority, but now I have enough status, and the person in charge has a very clear position as his successor, so he can give himself a lot of points on the basis of his position.

Therefore, you can take the time to apply for a visit to the First Knight Order.

In the past, the First Knights were the Sect of Order's big killer that shocked the entire church circle. In the most intense era of confrontation with the Sect of Light, the Light did not dare to launch a direct war against Order;

Now, against the backdrop of the imminent return of the gods, the First Knights have become the biggest support and foundation against this wave.

Karen would feel a little uneasy if he didn't go and have a look and feel for himself.

This is not fear, but only when you have a clear picture of your own family, can you better plan for the future.

You can also apply to take a look at the restricted space. Instead of going secretly like before, you can go in openly. Maybe with your current position authority, you can rent out "Luoya".

At the celebration banquet before, the boss of the forbidden space said to himself that if he worked there, he could renew the lease of the artifact indefinitely.

Although it is impossible for him to go to him to change the family, since he can say this, it obviously means that there is room for manipulation.

I should be able to go in and have a look, and then talk about renting. Pointing coupons is no longer a problem now. The reform of the Yorktown region has been completed, and the horrible cost investment is a thing of the past... Next, the entire region is its own wallet.

Not to mention that I still have the disciplinary inspection department with the Whip of Order, plus the liquidation work that will be carried out after I am officially appointed... I really have no shortcomings.

Of course, these coupons can't be spent on yourself, but if you change the name and set it as your own security expenditure, you can get it out of the public account.

Karen was still thinking about these things on the way from the seniors' club to the cathedral for a meeting in a carriage.

In the past, I just kept my head down and got promoted, but now I look up and find that there are more things to do.

Karen even thought of that research plan. When he was a member of the Neohound team, several teams entered the experimental area of ​​the research plan, which caused a disorder in the sense of time. He used his grandfather's mask to disguise himself as The arrival of the elders of the temple scared the researchers almost to death.

Karen doesn't really care about the current progress of that research project, but he knows that part of his dog's brain thinking is in that project team.

I and Neo had entered that door, it was a beautiful star.

Right now, even if he completely lifts Gouzi's seal...it is still impossible for it to return to the peak Raniedar.

In fact, when he came along with him, Raniedar's situation was already very miserable. He didn't even have an entity, so he could only rely on a special way of existence to avoid being captured by Diss.

However, if this part of the "brain" is returned to the dog, will the dog be able to rely on it and recover a little more? After all, he has a longer brain.

This operation will be a bit complicated, and it is impossible to succeed through official channels, but you can use half official and half shadow, first use your own authority and resources to dig out the entire project team, and then use rougher methods, at worst, let the "bright remnants" "Let's perform again and loot the project team.

Thinking of this, Karen couldn't help showing a smile.

This made Xiao Kangna, who was sitting opposite, slightly puzzled, and asked, "Well, did you think of something good?"

"I thought of a new idea, and then many things became brighter."

The official identity and the shadow identity work together, so many things can be solved much easier.

For example, after visiting the First Knights Order, I can have a deeper understanding of the First Knights Order... Those 'awakened' priests need the help of holy artifacts and formations to wake up at the lowest possible cost The dead, but their own awakening can be much simpler and easier.

The First Knight Order is the exclusive power of the Cult of Kosmos, but to a certain extent, Karen can also regard it as his own back garden.

The difficulty of the specific operation lies in how to persuade the awakened person to obey his orders to help him solve the current troubles, and how to transport him out... But I can go to the First Knights to visit the rest of the troubles. Find a way to solve it.

The same is true for the forbidden space. As long as you can visit it a few times, you can turn the forbidden space of the god religion into your own storage room.

In the context of this major crisis, Karen didn't mind whether his methods were compliant at all, just like he didn't care about Andy Law's feelings at all, and he would definitely replace his position.

You must hurry up in everything, as long as you can ensure faster results, you will have no time for moral cleanliness and procedural justice.

Just like the time project team, they researched and researched, why not just take that piece of brain for themselves and throw it to the dog at home, after all, it is the right owner, and outsiders can study it faster than the dog?

Think about it, what else can be done.

What about your parents?

Thinking of this, Karen's eyes narrowed slightly. The previous major events can be handled by himself now, but this matter... Karen thinks it will be very difficult, and it is not suitable to intervene at this time.

Even Diss couldn't solve the pollution of his parents. In the end, he could only send his son and daughter-in-law on the road in order to get rid of them.

Judging from Karen's experience, only "divine pollution" can cause such seriousness that even a powerful existence that can condense three godhead fragments can't do anything about it.

Reminiscent of the mission background of my parents back then, so it is likely to involve the son of God or the temple.

The current self is not qualified to touch that level... Probably, only when I become a whip-handler can I start the most thorough investigation of this matter back then.

But myself, when will I be able to become a whipkeeper?

...

"Ahem..."

In the carriage, Foden started to cough.

When a lion is showing signs of weakness, it is wisest not to pay attention to him or to provoke him.

Miguel pretended not to see it, and turned his eyes outside. He saw a carriage of this system, and the seat was extremely high.

Auggie did the same thing as Miguel, and then she said, "Karen's carriage."

Immediately, Auggie added: "I sensed the dragon next to him."

Only then did Miguel speak: "Yes, it's Commander Cullen's carriage."

The carriage was arranged by him, Miguel, for Karen’s activities in the Dingle area. In addition, the route to the cathedral for the meeting was also set by him. The driver will adjust the speed by himself to create this route. meet by chance.

In the past, it was impossible for Miguel to achieve this level, and it is the same now. He made such an arrangement not to pave the way for Karen, but he knew very well that the whip holder also needs this kind of situation.

However, Foden didn't say anything, but closed his eyes again and continued to rest.

...

"Big Stupid Dragon is in that carriage."

Little Kangna sensed Auggie.

Karen looked over through the car window. Who would have thought that the whip holder of the Order Whip would not arrange for bodyguards, and would just ride on the road in a carriage.

But it's normal to think about it. With Verden's strength, ordinary assassination doesn't matter at all. If there is a large-scale siege, Auggie can easily break it. The most important thing is that this is the Dingle area, which is orderly. territory.

My current situation is similar. At the celebration banquet, I followed the whipman to reveal the law, and the frequency of subsequent assassinations should drop a lot. Those killers can still tell the difference between the probability of fighting and pure death.

However, the whipman's carriage did not stop, and it was impossible for Karen to let the driver drive over and side by side, and then leaned out of the window to greet warmly:

"Hey, whipman, it's me, it's me."

Of course, it is even more impossible for the coachman to stop the whipper's car.

"Tell the coachman to slow down and follow behind."

Murray immediately conveyed instructions to Karen.

When the cathedral arrived, the whip-bearer's carriage drove straight into it, and Karen, who followed behind, didn't need to be checked, and entered together.

The small square of the church was full of people like the previous conferences, and the lowest-level people here were all the mayors of a large district.

The carriage stopped, the whip bearer got out of the car, and all the priests of this system in the small square collectively saluted the whip bearer:

"Meet the Whipkeeper."

Foden nodded.

At this time, Karen who followed also got out of the car, and the two cars were very close together.

At this point, Karen had two choices, one was to salute with the crowd, and the other was to lean over.

The former may make the leader feel that you are born, and give you a chance that you are useless;

The latter may make the leader feel that because of your recent achievements, you are drifting away and have no manners, which will cause a great sense of disgust.

This kind of disgust is terrible when analyzed from a psychological point of view. When you have always been good to a person and kept giving him benefits and support, suddenly at a certain moment, the other party caused you to frown because of a trivial matter, then it is very likely that you will accept it. After that, this emotion will overturn all the good feelings you have accumulated for him before, and turn into a kind of deep anger and rejection.

So, the higher you climb, the more cautious you have to be.

Karen looks at Miguel, who is smiling.

Next to Miguel, Auggie smiles brightly.

Karen stepped forward without saluting.

The whipman turned his head when Karen approached;

Karen immediately quickened his pace and stood over.

"After you are promoted, how do you plan to arrange the position of the former mayor of the York City Region?"

"The subordinates think Leon is very suitable."

"Is he the grandson of Walforon?"

"It's the only one left of the Walforon family."

For Leon, this kind of promotion can be said to be a huge leap and improvement. If there is no Karen in the front, he can call it the most exaggerated promotion speed in recent years.

However, his promotion wouldn't be too surprising, because he was shaded.

On the bright side, the reason for the Cult of Order's current battle in the desert is to avenge his family.

The whipman asked, "Can you convince the crowd?"

"You have the final say on the personnel transfer of our system."

"Oh, you want to hold the York City Region firmly in your hands."

Promoting a person who is obviously not qualified enough to a high position is an oath of power and sovereignty.

Karen replied: "His grandfather is kind to me."

However, the chief bishop of Vaughan should be careful. When Neo put the rumors about himself and His Royal Highness Ophelia there, he might have been "solved".

Not to mention the support and dedication of Wo Fulun to himself later, even before his death, he applied to see the high priest for himself and Bourne.

"That's not your style."

"His abilities are fine."

I was fighting in the front, and the family relied on Alfred, Vic, and Leon to preside over the situation. In terms of work ability, Leon had no problem.

As for Alfred and Vic, I will take them into the discipline department.

"All right."

The flogger agreed, which meant it was done.

When I was promoted in the past, I had to consider factions and circles, and I had to face airborne factions like Seuss and Gaspol to occupy positions. That was because my previous self did not have the words of whipping people.

What he can't see with his eyes is naturally the result of factional power struggle, but where his eyes are fixed, his will must be the first criterion.

"thank you."

Foden started to walk towards the venue, and Karen followed.

"The work has to start immediately, and Miguel will give you the list. You have to make a different look from Andy Lau."

"do not worry."

Only by catching and cleaning by yourself can we bring out Andy Law's incompetence when he was in power.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Andy Lau. If he had the support of the whipman, he would be able to do very well.

"Then it's outside, do you have enough staff, if you don't plan to keep too many old people."

"Enough is enough. After all, the department is set up in the York City area, and there is no shortage of manpower, and I have also transferred people from the legion to me."

"Then do it well."

"clear."

In this way, Karen and Foden walked into the venue while chatting. On the way, all the "princes" of this system could only continue to salute beside them.

The scene at the celebration banquet was repeated today.

When Karen's dharma body appeared beside the whip man's dharma body, everyone had a premonition, but right now, Karen and the whip man walked in side by side, the whip man was followed by the frost dragon, and Karen was followed by the small bone dragon ...

This can be said to be a replica, to the point where it cannot be more obvious.

It was almost like pinching the eyes of everyone present, forcing them to see clearly, who is the next stick in the transfer of power in this system!

No one would joke anymore about whether Commander Karen might be the illegitimate son of the whip-wielder, because in the power ecology, even the biological father and son could not achieve this level.

After arriving at the venue, Karen slowed down. He has already resigned from the military, so he is still the mayor of the York City District. According to the procedure, he should sit below now, and then sit on the stage after the appointment is announced. go up.

Karen paid more attention to the details of this kind of procedure, but obviously, the whipman had no such intention. He continued to chat with Karen without saying a word, forcing Karen to continue to follow.

Followed him to the rostrum, and finally, to the position of the whip holder.

Foden sat down.

Below, the district chiefs had already sat down, while the bigwigs on the rostrum were all standing around in a circle, waiting for the whip holder to speak to Karen.

If he stopped at this time, Karen would have to find a seat on the edge of the rostrum and wait for his appointment. It would be inappropriate to run off the rostrum.

But the whipman continued to talk: "What did you have for lunch?"

"Fried fish steak."

It's a meal at a seniors' club.

"Oh, how does it taste?"

"The taste is very good."

Karen knew that the whipman had nothing to say, and it was a lie in his heart to say that he was not moved.

If the attitude of the whip-holder towards him in the past was reasonable and predictable, then from the boiling water at the celebration banquet to now, even Karen himself feels that the whip-holder is treating him...that's great.

So good that Karen couldn't understand it.

Foden reached out and patted the chair beside him, signaling Karen to sit down, and asked at the same time: "I heard that you like cooking."

Karen glanced at number two, this is his position.

The No. 2 person immediately showed a warm and kind smile on his face, motioning for Karen to sit down, and he himself sat in the No. 3 seat.

Then, the seats of all the bosses will be shifted sequentially.

Karen could only sit down.

After Karen sat down, the whipman seemed not interested in the topic of "cooking". He tapped his finger on the table and said:

"Let's have a meeting."

Karen could only adjust his sitting posture, face down, and sit upright.

The No. 2 person beside him pointed to the loudspeaker sacred instrument in front of Karen. Karen reached out and pushed it towards the No. 2 person. The No. 2 person shook his head with a smile.

Karen pulled the amplifying artifact back in front of him and looked at the whip bearer. The whip bearer closed his eyes, as if he had entered a state of rest again.

It's all been paved to such an extent, if I still can't take it, it's really my fault.

Without picking up the amplifying artifact, Karen stood up generously. At this moment, the person sitting below his line of sight was not the princes and princes in the Whip of Order system, but the Whip of Order he commanded. Legion.

The district chiefs below, when Karen stood up, immediately felt the change in the atmosphere. If I had to describe it, it was as if there were bugs wriggling on their bodies. Many people began to adjust their sitting postures, and some of them subconsciously wanted to stand up.

And when Karen scanned the audience with his eyes, some people had already stood up silently. After having the leader, others also stood up one after another. It also comes from the authority blessing given by the whip holder.

At this time, any lack of cooperation can be understood as resistance and dissatisfaction with the whip holder.

After everyone below stood up, No. 2 also stood up with a smile, and all the bosses on the rostrum also stood up.

Karen said, "I declare that the meeting..."

At this time, Karen noticed that the whipman who was dozing off beside him also stood up slowly.

After the whip bearer stood up, all the crowd on and below the rostrum fell silent. Not only did everyone stand, but they all subconsciously puffed out their chests and straightened their backs.

"The meeting begins."

Karen announced it was over.

As usual, everyone should sit down at this time. Karen himself was bending over to sit down, but the whipman beside him was still standing, so Karen had to stand up again.

He added: "Everyone please sit down."

The whip bearer was still standing, so no one sat down.

"hehe."

The whipman laughed. He didn't use a loudspeaker, but his laughter seemed to be floating in the entire hall.

Then the whipman sat down.

The next moment, the rostrum and all the district chiefs below quickly took their seats, and there was the chilling sound of neat robes rubbing against each other.

After everyone sat down, the No. 2 person picked up the amplified sacred instrument and began to announce the appointment of personnel;

The first is the adjustment of Andy Law's position, which is nominally a promotion, rewarding a series of benefits and political status;

Next, it is to read out Karen's job arrangement, with a lot of words:

The previous speech was a summary of Karen's achievements since he served as the commander of the Whip of Order and the Ninth Army. The middle part was a review of Karen's achievements in this system.

At the end, he raised his voice:

"After deliberation by this system, the whip holder applied, and the high priest agreed; now appointed: Karen Silva..."

Karen straightened the cuffs of the divine robe and stood up.

The next moment, all the priests stood up on the rostrum and below. After standing up, they realized that they should not stand, but no one sat down anymore.

The No. 2 person is still announcing the appointment, but the new appointment has already been "announced".

"...Appoint Karen Silva as Minister of Disciplinary Inspection Department of the Church of Order's Whip of Order."

When number two finished reading and sat down, he automatically became number three.

Karen rested his fist on his chest, faced the audience, and shouted:

"Whip..."

Everyone below made the same action and responded in unison:

"For order!"

In the auditorium, the sound wave is like a tide, like the echo of a bell.

This means that from now on, the titles of Karen in this system will change, no longer Karen District Chief, Karen Army Commander, Karen Minister, but...

[Person No. 2].
