13 Mink Street

Push open the window, fresh air flows in, making people feel happy.

Karen likes the environment in the enchantment of the Disciplinary Department very much. He remembers that when he first came to Wayne, he felt that a place like Allen Manor was unimaginably rich, but the place where he lives now is the real luxury.

Not only is it a question of the cost of building the barrier, but even with the massive wealth of coupons given to Allen Manor, they can't even hire professional priests responsible for maintaining the barrier.

When "wealth" reaches a certain level, it is no longer what can be described by simple "coupons".

It's like most artifacts in the forbidden space clearly marked the rental price, but they all have status standards embedded in them, so you can't rent them with just a few coupons.

After showering and washing, Karen came to her office.

Little Kangna always got up very early, was doing her homework, her legs were swinging back and forth, and she was humming a song, in a very happy mood.

There is a fish tank on her small desk, and an octopus tentacle is inserted upside down in the fish tank as a potted plant.

Karen noticed that Little Connor would gently scratch her head with her hands from time to time, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Well, I think my head is a little itchy."

"It's okay, it should be brainstorming."

"Really?" Little Kangna was very happy, "I've been catching up with my homework these few days, and in half a day today, I can finish this month's homework half a month earlier, hehe."

"When communicating with your sister Pu'er, remember not to show too much excitement, try to be as painful as possible, if you don't want to add homework."

"Um...understood!"

Sealy brought breakfast, and little Connor sat across from Karen's desk to eat together.

However, before she ate it herself, she took a little out of the pill and sent it to a potted plant.

She did it very carefully, and controlled the quantity very well, for fear that the excess nutrition would "burn" the octopus to death.

As for Buchan's body, Karen returned his spiritual power. Although this tossing back and forth caused a lot of loss, at least it turned the body from empty to ignitable.

Next, let him lie quietly in the coffin in the manor's performance hall and warm up slowly.

Like Molindi, Karen would not wake them up until the moment it was really needed, because it would probably lead to a direct conflict between himself and the high priest.

Karen was drinking soy milk while looking at the documents. The desert warfare fell into a stalemate again.

On the premise that a certain side did not increase its investment in the battlefield, this should have been the norm on the battlefield, that is, when the Whip of Order Legion led by Karen was on the front line, they acted as catfish time and time again to disrupt the situation.

Next, Karen read another document, which contained some news actions of the Temple of Order.

After breakfast, Karen went around the interrogation castle, where the smell of blood became stronger.

The whipman reminded himself to wait for the smell of blood to dissipate before pushing the high priest to inspect the work in the York City area, but judging from the current situation, it is temporarily impossible.

Originally, Karen's policy instruction was: don't be soft-hearted, don't show mercy, and get involved as much as possible.

Take advantage of this opportunity to clean up the moths, so that you can better face the coming crisis.

But Vic's performance exceeded Karen's expectations.

In the past, it was necessary to have too many scruples in doing things, and he couldn't let go of his hands and feet. Now, because of Karen's superior position, he can open up his work. Vic attacked everywhere, and he uprooted the intricate network of interests.

The interrogation castle and the prison castle can no longer accommodate the suspects. The Whip of Order of the Region, the prisons of the Region Management Office, and the available sites of relevant departments have all been requisitioned.

Now, the priests in other areas of the church almost have a stress response to "Hello, please come with me to York City".

If it continues for a longer period of time, I am afraid that in the future the priest will coax the children to become "If you cry and disobey, I will send you to York City".

Karen began to wonder whether Rathma really valued this when selecting students. After all, when Rathma was serving as the high priest, many of his powers were actually in an overhead state.

With the suppression of the temple above and the constraints of various factions below, it is difficult to do anything.

And with Rathma's temperament of competing with his grandfather Diss when he was young, being a mascot priest must have made him extremely aggrieved. Maybe Vic, a student, was chosen to prepare for the future purge and revenge.

When Vic came to report the progress of the interrogation several times, he also tried to test it. Karen heard it, but did not ask for a cooling down.

Because if you continue to do this, you will completely tie Karen to the whip-bearer, that is, to the line of the high priest. When another high priest comes to power in the future, Karen's position will inevitably be extremely embarrassing, and he will bear extremely strong pressure. The criticism counterattacked.

And at Karen's current age, he has already reached this position, and he can completely start to dilute this follow-up risk as much as possible, sit peacefully, rely on the river of time, even if he can't continue to push himself up, he can still keep it. high position.

The reason why I didn't choose this way is partly because the concept of "future" is not sure whether it exists or not, so I will naturally have fewer scruples in doing things, but the main reason is that I can't let the tens of thousands of Pavaro inside the Cult of Kosmos.

Before making a fortune, you can make some minor changes in principle, catering, standing in line, exchanging interests, and political struggles.

But now that I have reached this position, I am really sorry for my previous "flying dog" self.

After inspecting the interrogation, Alfred sent Karen an invitation from the Chief Bishop of Bern.

Karen was a little surprised and said:

"Bourne is going to die so quickly?"

"No, young master, it's the birthday of the Chief Bishop's Attendant of Berne, I invite you to come over, and there is another guest, Puyue Sen, the guardian of the district."

"It's so dishonest to use my attendant's birthday as an excuse for a party."

"The subordinates feel that your hints to him last time played a role."

"You mean, he guessed it?"

"No, it's impossible for him to guess, because it's too outrageous, but emotionally, it should cause some changes in him."

"Pu Yuesen, do you think I have seen or not?"

"After all, he represents the eyes of the temple in this region. In the future, if the temple has a good impression, it will be easier."

"In the future, what will happen?"

"Of course, you will be the whip in the future, and you will go even higher."

"Alfred, you think so far. It's this time, and you still remember those things. Now you can see changes and miracles in any god religion every day. The return of the gods is already very fast. gone."

Alfred smiled and said to himself: No matter how fast the gods return, they may not be promoted faster than us.

"Then go and meet him, and remember to inform the whipkeeper for me."

"Yes, master."

...

In the afternoon, Karen arrived at Bourne's house in a carriage.

It was the first time for Xiao Kangna to go out without her homework, and she seemed very relaxed, bouncing off the carriage, very lively.

However, Little Kangna seemed to be used to holding books or notebooks in her hands. She had dug out a bound catalog in the carriage before, and held it rolled up in her hand after she got off the carriage;

This catalog is the coffin price list that Karen left in the car when she came back from the undertaker's funeral last time.

Karen glanced at Andrew who had arranged for the security forces to wait by his side. The young man looked serious, and he couldn't see the feeling that he knew that he was going to see his "uncle".

This is not a disguise, because Karen has already known what kind of character this young man is.

"You go in with me."

"Huh? Yes, Commander." Andrew was a little surprised, but nodded immediately.

The furnishings of Bourne's house are very simple and can even be described as empty. He is not a family-oriented person, and he doesn't care about family life and family warmth.

The attendant who was in charge of today's birthday prepared the tea and left. Bourne and Pu Yuesen came down from upstairs, and they saluted Karen together:

"Meet the minister."

"Meet the minister."

Andrew looked at Pu Yuesen in surprise.

After being seated, Andrew cut the fruit plate instead of the attendant.

Karen noticed that Pu Yuesen's eyes were a little strange, and he was not very sensitive when looking at things, so he asked, "What's wrong with the eyes?"

Pu Yuesen replied: "Thank you, Minister, for your concern. I blame me. I accidentally hurt my eyes when I was doing the experiment."

"Is the problem serious?"

"It's not serious, just rest for a while."

"I have potions there, Andrew, remember to take some and send them to our guardians when you go back."

"Yes, Commander."

Karen is going to send some dog urine to Lord Guardian to wash his eyes.

Bourne said: "We don't have to be so restrained, Pu Yuesen, is this the first time you and our minister have met?"

Pu Yuesen nodded with a smile: "I've always wanted to see you, but I never had the chance. Today, I'm finally lucky."

Karen also said: "The main reason is that I am busy with work. During this time, I didn't spend much time in the region."

In fact, the contact between the two began very early. Early on, Karen and Neo were often chased away by the guardian's giant hand.

After warming up the scene for a while, Bourne got up and said to get some wine and left the living room. Andrew continued to cut oranges foolishly.

Karen didn't care, but Pu Yuesen couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Andrew:

"Go get the wine for the chief."

"Oh well."

Andrew glanced at Karen, and after seeing Karen nodded, he got up and left.

Puyuesen said: "It is really God's blessing that he can learn by your side. From you, I have also seen the true generosity."

"He's a nice young man."

Although Andrew was a bit of a mess before joining the army, he has grown a lot on the battlefield.

"His father also asked me to thank you."

"Tell me that he has trained an excellent warrior for Order."

After a brief greeting, Pu Yuesen took out two scrolls and put them on the coffee table.

"One is the reward order from the temple to you."

"Commendation order?"

"The reward for your contribution to order on the battlefield is a bit slow to come, ha ha."

"hehe."

"This one was given to you by an elder of the temple. She is very optimistic about you. At the same time, she is also my teacher."

"Which temple elder is it?"

"Elder Siti, do you know?"

Elder Siti, that is too familiar.

She and her cat are best friends, and her grandfather is a year-end friend.

Karen said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the elders of the temple have always been mysterious, and I don't have much contact with them. I don't know this elder Siti, but I am very grateful for her appreciation of me."

Pu Yuesen answered immediately: "I can arrange a meeting between you and her."

"Really, that would be great."

"Elder Siti, among the elders of the temple, he is considered young."

Pu Yuesen was implying that this elder was a good backer.

She is from the same era as Pu'er, but in the lifespan of the elders of the temple, she is still "middle-aged".

"I see."

Puyuesen continued: "It's best for you to establish a teacher-student relationship. This is the safest layer of protection."

Karen smiled and nodded while thinking, whether Pyattsen is a fool or Siti is a fool.

How could the person in charge of leading the conversation directly disclose the contact conditions and bargaining chips like this?

But after thinking about it, the guardians are not in charge of the affairs of the region, and when there is no threat to the region's security, they basically practice in their own guardian hall. It is normal for such people to have a clear stupidity in their eyes and behavior.

As for Siti... If she wasn't stupid, she wouldn't be hanged on a cross by Grandpa.

You must know that in the confrontation on Minke Street, although Diss blew up the temple, he didn't really take a shot at any of the priests of order. Afterwards, the only damage that was counted was probably Siti's skin trauma.

My cat's attitude towards her is the same as that of Little Connor towards Auggie, saying "Sitty is an idiot, Sity is an idiot".

Let me be her student... When Pu'er comes back and finds out about this, I'm afraid I'll have to cook pickled fish for three days to coax her well.

But if you really want to establish a specific connection with the temple, then having an elder in the temple as your "teacher" is indeed the easiest and most efficient way;

And Siti is also easy to deal with.

Recently, he has been in contact with Foden and Buken, the two whippers, and he is "seen" at every turn. Now Karen really wants to find a normal boss to adjust his state.

"So, do you agree?"

"Um?"

Do you want an answer right away?

"You also know that the relationship between the Holy See and the temple is a little bit delicate, so if this matter happens, we will keep it a secret for you. Please trust the ability of the temple to keep secrets."

"Of course I do."

It's strange for Karen to believe this sentence. He ate breakfast today based on the internal information of the temple.

Foden has already infiltrated the temple into a sieve.

"So you agree?"

"Yes, I agree, please arrange a time..."

"Just tonight?"

"Tonight?"

Who is going to be whose student?

Pu Yuesen said: "Because Elder Siti is just outside now, we can arrange a meeting soon."

"But I'm not ready yet, at least I need to bring some gifts to visit?"

"None of these are needed."

"Are you sure, tonight?"

"I can do it tonight, I'm sorry, the time may have been rushed, but I was also notified to arrange this matter, so I hurriedly asked the Chief Bishop of Bern to help me arrange a meeting with you.

In addition, I heard that there are other elders in the temple who want to be your teacher. I think Elder Siti hopes to establish this relationship earlier. "

You really know how to be an introducer, and you have stripped away all the mysterious, noble and lofty elders' underpants.

Karen felt that such a person was really only suitable to be a guardian. If he were arranged to be a diplomatic priest, it would be a disaster for the Cult of Kosmos.

"No problem, are you going through the teleportation hall?"

"Yes, I still have to ask you to arrange it."

"Go tell Andrew and let him arrange it."

"Okay, no problem, then we'll see you tonight."

"See you tonight."

Pu Yuesen got up and left, and after a while, Andrew walked in.

Karen waved to him and said, "Go and arrange."

"Yes, Commander."

After Andrew left, Bourne walked into the living room with a bottle of wine in his hand.

"Do you want to congratulate the student who is about to become the elder of the temple?"

"You know everything?"

"Puyuesen is in front of me, it's hard to keep any secrets, he asked me to get your information for him before, and asked me to help him write the evaluation to be submitted to the temple, I think the temple should hold an examination , you may be on the list of candidates."

"How is the review?"

"It's not reserved at all, boasting your high respect for the temple and your absolute yearning attitude.

I also added some interesting things for you. For example, when you were still the leader of the Whip of Order team, you said more than once that you would practice hard in the future and strive for the dream of being guided by the Gate of Order into the temple.

I think the temple should attach the most importance to this item. Combined with the dharma body you showed at the banquet in the Ogurev Fortress, if you want to make an expectation list, you should be the most promising person in your age group to condense the fragments of godhead.

At this point, it's ok to ask the temple to treat you as half your own. "

"Thanks."

"You're welcome to ask a redundant question..." Byrne pointed upwards, "Do you know?"

"Our temple is not so mysterious in front of the whip of order."

"They're just high-level. After I got out of the shadows and sat in this position, I feel raw now, let alone those elders who are hundreds of years old. The older a person is, the easier it is to coax and deceive."

"Going to coax tonight."

"So anxious?"

"Pu Yuesen is a good middleman."

"Well, I understand, haha." Bourne sat down on the sofa opposite Karen, "By the way, I have two things to ask you."

"Order."

"First thing, my father died."

"My condolences. Let's talk about the second thing."

"I haven't finished the first thing yet. It doesn't matter if he dies."

"Uh... ok."

"My son has sent me a letter. I hope you will take the time to visit the Pamires Church in the near future, and declare your support for him on behalf of order. He will face competition for the upper position."

"I see, I will arrange it."

"What about the second thing?"

"The second thing is, I'm dying."

"Didn't you already know this?"

"No, I recently tried a radical treatment operation at the Church Hospital, but it failed, which accelerated the deterioration of the condition and shortened the time of death."

"Can you tell me, what do you think?"

"I wouldn't do it before, but now, it doesn't matter. I don't know why I have this mentality."

"I guess it was your father's death, which dealt a great blow to your body and mind."

"Hehehe." Byrne laughed, "In the memoir, it can be written like this, and it can be published after the Pamires Cult is annexed by my Cult."

Karen asked sternly, "So, how much time is left now?"

"If there is no accident, after one month, the divine religion will be able to report my funeral, and the district will be able to hold a memorial service for me. However, I have proposed a candidate for the next chief bishop. You can take a look and see which one you plan to recommend. Come up."

Bourne took a list out of the cuff of his robe and handed it to Karen.

Karen didn't answer.

Bourne hesitated for a moment, but put the list on the coffee table and stacked it with the two scrolls left by Napu Yuesen.

"I studied for a long time before I determined the good list. Weaknesses and handles are all in it, so that you can continue to control the Regional Management Office."

"I'm going to go on several business trips in a row. I'm going to visit the forbidden space, visit the First Knights, and maybe go to open up the space."

"Oh, and then?"

"In half a month, everything should be done, but to be on the safe side, you have to survive until the end of the month."

"My will and list of estates are already in the second drawer on the lower right side of the office. What else do you need from me?"

"As I said last time, I'm sure you died in the office, and there were only you and me in the office at the time."

Bourne took a sip of his wine and said, "The reason why I tried that radical operation is because of what you said to me last time.

I have to admit that my state of mind was disturbed by those words, and I suddenly felt that death is not the end, but a new beginning.

So, still can't tell me directly, what will you do then? "

Karen shook her head.

"Okay, that's all, right? Before I die, I call you to the office and let you be my death witness."

"Oh, I thought of another one."

"What?"

"Kang Na, give me what you have."

Little Connor obediently handed the coffin price list to Karen, and Karen put it in front of Bourne,

smiled and said:

"Choose a coffin style you like."
