13 Mink Street

Even if it weren't for the era when Norton ruled to suppress the Temple of Order, the elders of the temple would rarely come to the confidential offices of the Holy See in this way.

One is because of reserve, and at the same time, it is to preserve its own mystery and detachment;

The second is due to the political tacit understanding of the God of Order since ancient times. The overactivity of the elders of the temple will only bring more severe suppression and exclusion within the church to their own family.

Therefore, when Karen used the mask left by his grandfather to "play" the sphere of consciousness of the elders of the temple and came to that laboratory, many researchers present subconsciously thought that the elders of the temple came to inspect, because this itself is the activity of the elders of the temple. As a habit, they always try their best to avoid exposing their divine side to the eyes of the congregation.

There are only two places where they can really use their power without any scruples: one is when dealing with top sensitive and difficult events in the church, and the other is on the battlefield.

Therefore, it is not a hard job for the elders of the temple of the Knights to accompany the army, and there is even competition in the temple.

It would be fine if Ukonga was a loner, but he had a family, and his family status was not inferior to Siti's Ponsi family, but he...maybe just didn't care.

Some people will undergo great changes after years of passing, and when they look back, they will sigh with emotion that things are right and wrong; but there are also some people who are still the same as they were before, and they are still young until they die.

Whether it's the non-communication in the sealed land, or telling him to ask for a meeting through Hidrod, or coming to the door in this way, everything is conveying an attitude to Karen, that is:

Although he has been looking for you for thousands of years, he has no malicious intentions.

He has no intention of making this relationship black-bellied and utilitarian.

He was too lazy to do it, he found it boring and out of his style and taste.

It has to be said that this kind of free and easy is completely contrary to Karen's always cautious and decent behavior habits.

But this is Wu Kongjia, a man who was used to being romantic when he was young, and carried it through to the end, and in the end he didn't even let go of the magic weapon.

Unlike the other priests around who bowed down or even knelt down to worship, Karen didn't even salute. Instead, his hands naturally hung down on his sides, and he looked up at the towering and majestic existence.

Since people want to come candidly, then I don't have to be pretentious, and just connect casually.

Not only did he not salute, Karen turned around and walked towards the office castle.

Behind him, the huge dharma body gradually faded away, scattered into the sun and fell on Karen's side. After a while, a man's figure appeared next to Karen. He had white hair and a young face.

Along the way, all the priests saluted excitedly, not daring to watch.

On the top floor of the dormitory castle opposite, Gaspar stood on the balcony and saluted.

Marvalho stroked his chin with his hand. He didn't need to salute. When he really thought about it, the elders of the temple saw him and would respectfully address him as the Son of God.

It's just that this honorific title is more of a joke. In the eyes of the temple, the Son of God is just a tool they "made". Who would respect a tool?

"What kind of play is this?"

Marvalho couldn't understand this scene, and turned to look at his wife. Forget it, she didn't know that Karen was no longer the district chief who took her position.

For a moment, Marvalho felt a little sad.

In the past, he enjoyed Karen's casual treatment of him, and he thought this was the way true friends get along. Now, Karen can indeed treat himself casually from the perspective of strength and status, and he feels a little melancholy.

"Honey, do you know, I used to think that Karen was dealing with me in a unique social way on purpose, but now I realize..."

"Find what?"

"He really didn't take me seriously from the beginning."

...

Karen's walking posture is normal, but against the backdrop of Ukonga, it looks a bit rigorous.

As a distinguished elder of the temple, Ukonga crossed his arms behind his head, leaned his upper body back, and took big steps, like a lazy man who had lunch in a rural town on the outskirts of Wien and walked out with a toothpick in his mouth. .

Leaving aside political faction factors, if Karen is not the No. 2 figure of the Whip of Order but the former team leader or office director, having a temple elder "accompany" him in this way is simply an extra background bonus.

Now... the extra points don't exist anymore, and all kinds of interpersonal relationships and factions are all messed up because of Ukonga's arrival.

Enter the castle, go up the stairs, and come to the office.

Karen opened the door and walked in, followed by Ukonga. From the beginning to the end, the two had not communicated with each other.

But the moment the door closed, an almost substantive pressure swept towards Karen. Karen kept retreating, and was finally forced to the wall.

Karen didn't resist, and his expression was calm.

Ukonga came slowly, looked at Karen carefully, and said:

"It's still generous after all, and it didn't disappoint me too much."

Karen asked, "So what are your expectations?"

"alone."

"alone?"

Ukonga turned sideways and walked towards the creek pavilion in Karen's office. The original majestic pressure disappeared at this moment, and Karen regained his freedom.

"Living too long is not a happy thing. Your life can be very long, but the value of life is often only the beginning part, because at that time you have family members, rivals...and friends.

After they all die one by one, the remaining long life will become very meaningless, leaving only boring wastage. "

"That's why you're looking for me?"

"Of course it's not just because of this. First of all, you answer me a question, how did you do it?"

Wu Kongjia sat down, subconsciously looking for tea, but found that although there was a tea set on the tea table in the pavilion, there was only a bucket of ice cubes.

Even if there are guests in this room, they basically have to do whatever they want and drink ice water with them.

Karen sat down opposite, reached out to pour water, and then flicked ice cubes into the glasses of the two of them.

When pushing the cup to Ukonga, Ukonga refused:

"I'm old and I'm not used to drinking ice."

Karen stretched out his hand, a flame appeared, the ice cubes melted, and the ice water boiled, and then pushed the steaming water cup to Ukonga again.

Ukonga: "I said, you are too casual."

"It's up to you first."

Ukonga shrugged: "Okay."

Karen formally answered Ukonga's question and said, "It was only later that I discovered that I, an orphan, actually has the blood of the Alt family."

"The bloodline blessed by the Eternal God?"

"Yes, so, it resonated with the Spear of Eternity."

"But when you appeared, we hadn't 'sneaked' into the forbidden space and touched the eternal spear."

"This is the philosophical question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. Therefore, the power of time is the taboo in all laws of power."

"This explanation can barely pass." Wu Kongjia clapped his hands, "Although I know that you must have concealed it, but it doesn't matter. Do you know that the timing of your appearance is too good."

Karen asked, "Why do you say that?"

"If you had come out a hundred years earlier, no, fifty years earlier, and I found you, I wouldn't be so peaceful, because at that time, although I felt that life was meaningless, I had a deep feeling for the end." of fear.

I would instinctively hope to prolong this boring as long as possible, or try to pursue the taboo power you mentioned, and then change the regrets of the past.

It's a pity that you just appeared now. Although my life has been extended a lot, but now it is also entering the final chapter.

Anyway, it's pointless. "

"I heard some rumors about the end of the elders of the temple."

"I'm not eligible."

"terribly sorry."

"From today, you are my student."

"OK."

It's so simple, it's not even a transaction.

Ukonga lowered his head, his long white hair hanging down.

Karen felt his mood, which was the emptiness and loss after the obsession was achieved.

He was disappointed in the actual contact with himself.

But this is not his problem, because no matter how well he does and how much he behaves according to his wishes, he is still destined to be disappointed.

However, since he is here, I have to take care of him as much as possible, after all, the future in front of me is going to lead the team to Minke Street.

"I want to know, later, is there any contact between you? Mr. Phileas, Mr. Protaras, and Mr. Decarost."

Upon hearing this, Ukonga raised his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked Karen:

"Which one do you most want to know?"

"Mr. DeCarloster."

"Sorry, I didn't have much contact with him later, although he often sent me special products for travel and exploration, especially secret recipes and supplements to enhance male function.

I originally thought that you would ask Felias and Protaras, these two seem to be more likely to arouse people's curiosity. "

"Their deeds are recorded in detail in the history of the gods."

"Oh, yes, there's nothing mysterious about them either."

The topic, unknowingly, chatted into a dead end.

At this time, Xili came over, she wanted to ask if she needed to have dinner, her crab legs were ready.

Karen waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to start the meal.

Shirley saluted and stepped back.

Wu Kongjia took a deep breath and said, "I smell the smell of crab legs, why, are you unwilling to invite me to eat?"

"You're not in the mood."

"You are too sensitive." Ukonga leaned back, and his sitting posture became very casual. "Now you care too much about my emotions, which makes me feel very boring."

"There's no way to do it. What's more, when I faced you in that dormitory, I would only be more nervous than now and care about your emotions. It's just that you were still young at the time, so you didn't notice it. "

"I think it may be because there are only the two of us, the atmosphere is not lively, and the interest in the performance cannot be raised. If there is a chance, we will bring Philias, Decarost and Protaras Shout it over, even if it is a performance, it is also a great enjoyment."

Karen smiled politely.

In fact, it is not impossible.

The Mad Pope is in Neo's mind, Protaras lies in the First Order of the Knights, and the burial site of Decarost is known; thus, in theory, the vision is achievable.

silence... silence... silence...

Ukonga looked at Karen and asked curiously, "Are you so afraid of me?"

"I think I have faced you with the most peaceful posture."

"Yes, but you seem to be more accommodating with Siti."

"When facing Elder Siti, I always use the honorific title and abide by the etiquette."

Ukonga stuck out his tongue, leaned forward, leaned in front of Karen, looked carefully into Karen's eyes, and said:

"You are still afraid of me. In your heart, you have a deep defense against me, but you want to contact me, and when you contact me, you are afraid of arousing my vigilance, because you don't know that an old man who has lived for more than a thousand years How hard things are to mess with."

"You worry too much."

"It's different from what I thought. I originally thought that being a teacher who used to be a roommate is a happy thing second only to being his father."

Karen picked up the water glass and took a sip: "Hehe."

"Showdown?" Ukonga asked, "Showdown together?"

"I remember, you just passed it." Karen reminded, "You said that you are old, so old that you are dying, and you have no energy left to do other things."

"This is the truth, I didn't lie to you, but in the near future, I may have the opportunity to continue a new life. At that time, I can serve the temple, serve my master, and make up for my inability to do my best as the elder of the temple. Sorry about the duties of the elders of the temple."

"What kind of opportunity?"

"It's your turn." Ukonga waggled his tongue outside, "It's your turn."

"On me..."

Suddenly, deep in the soul, the sculpture of hunger addiction raised its head and let out a low growl.

Karen's body trembled slightly, his gaze fixed, and then, a strong sense of fatigue and tingling came over him, making him subconsciously stretch out his palms against his forehead, and cursed at the same time:

"You are really shameless."

Ukonga actually used spiritual induction on himself.

And I didn't realize when I was affected, you know, I have been extremely vigilant from the beginning!

Wu Kongjia also scolded: "How can your soul strength be so high?"

Karen asked: "So, is this our teacher-student relationship, putting suspicion and precaution on the surface?"

Ukonga asked back: "What's wrong with this? Do you really want me to be your teacher to teach you things? Oh, yes, you want to get the approval and support of the temple from me."

"Isn't it possible?"

Ukonga smiled and said: "How naive are those guys in Siti to think that they can pull you to the temple? I even doubt that you went to Poncey Manor last time to find your whip Someone reported it."

"It's slander."

"I have no evidence, and I don't have the resources to obtain evidence, because the largest intelligence department in the religion is controlled by you and your superiors; it can be said that now, even if it is the temple, there is no way to make specific and specific inquiries about you." In-depth investigation, only you can investigate others at will.

Those idiots think that because they live a few hundred years longer, their wisdom is superior, oh, I'm afraid you can even know what you eat for breakfast every day. "

"You scolded yourself too?"

"Of course, in fact, I'm not much better than them, because those who can enter the temple are less distracted. Protaras and Philias, they are no worse than me, but one of them has become the high priest of order and the other has become a priest. The pope who lost the light failed to condense the godhead fragments in the end.

As for me, on the contrary, because I have too little business and too much leisure, I just fiddled with it and condensed the fragments of my godhead.

So, essentially, the temple is full of idiots.

As for why I am sure that you will not sincerely stand on the side of the temple, because that day in the dormitory, you and Protaras went to wash the dishes, and you chatted very speculatively.

To be precise, Protaras got a lot of inspiration from you.

I too fucking know what kind of attitude that guy in Protaras has towards the Temple of Order. When I was about to condense the fragments of godhead, he always sent official letters,

ask me:

Hey, I said Ukonga, when the hell did you enter that kennel! "

Ukonga said with drooping eyelids, and said with a smile: "I have seen your resume, and you are full of the shadow of Protaras. It is said that the current high priest is the successor of Tiranus, so he Only then can the temple be suppressed, but in my opinion, any aspiring high priest does not want to have a temple pointing at his head."

"You are too good."

"I haven't." Ukonga stretched out a finger and poked his forehead, "Tell me, if I tie you up now, can I dig out enough secrets from you?"

"I am devout to order."

"Coincidentally, me too."

Ukonga stood up and tidied up the gold-rimmed robes on his body: "I'm leaving."

"A bit hasty."

"I have been sitting patiently for a long time."

"I really want to know, what is the opportunity from the future you mentioned, and what is the basis to continue it?"

Ukonga smiled and said, "What is the most important thing for a temple elder?"

God Fragment

Karen understood, he took a fancy to the piece of godhead in his grandfather's hand.

Ukonga, the relationship between us suddenly changed from complicated to more complicated.

"You should pray that I succeed."

"According to what you said, shouldn't I pray that you fail? Because if you succeed, you will have another life, and you will have to do the things you are not interested in doing now."

"You just need to ensure your devotion to order. On this basis, no matter how many secrets are unearthed, what is there to be afraid of?"

"It makes sense."

"My current status in the temple is a bit embarrassing. In theory, my status is lower than that of Siti."

"Unbelievable."

"Um?"

"It's really unimaginable that Elder Siti is not at the bottom of the temple."

"Hehehe, you boy. After talking until now, I finally found some of the feelings of the past. I made this way because of my own choice, but I don't regret my choice, do you believe it?"

"I believe it."

"Our teacher-student relationship is indeed a bit casual, but if I succeed in continuing, in the entire Temple of Order, except for those special few, there will be no one with higher qualifications than me.

Siti said it was bragging for you to compete for the position of high priest, she is a genius filled with stupidity.

But I, on behalf of the Temple of Order, will help you sit in the position of High Priest in the future. "

"Great plan."

"This is an exchange, continue to keep your secret, and wait for me to get it."

"I'm being honest."

"Oh, by the way, I have been secretly promoting a research project about time, and the project location is in your York City area."

Karen immediately realized that the project was promoted by Ukonga?

That's right, he has this ability, and even more so, this motivation.

"Tell me what this does?"

"I will send someone to hand over this project to you, you can keep an eye on it for me, is it okay?"

"no problem."

I was going to grab it, but now it's easy.

"Okay, send me away."

Karen opened the door of the office, and walked down the stairs with Ukonga to the outside of the castle.

Karen said: "When you leave, can you keep a low profile?"

"How can this work? As a teacher, you have to save face for your students, don't you?"

In front of Wu Kongjia, a huge and stalwart dharma body exuding golden luster appeared, and the breath of palpitation came again.

Fortunately, the priests of order in the enchantment were mentally prepared this time, and they just saluted one after another.

On this day, there were two glows in the sky of Wayne.

Karen put his hands behind his back, silently watching the enchantment shield above slowly close after Ukonga left.

"Ukonga, can you snatch the things from my Inmeles house if you want?"

...

Ukonga returned to his own star in the Temple of Order, and a vicissitudes of voice came from above:

"Your movement today is a bit loud."

Ukonga didn't take it seriously, and walked into his hall.

The voice sounded again: "Don't you think about your own family?"

Ukonga waved his hand and said, "I've been a stranger for a long time, what kind of family is it? Ha, I'm now marrying someone with the same surname as me, which doesn't belong to the category of inbreeding."

The phantom of the Prophet appeared at the entrance of the main hall, and said: "I am starting to hesitate now, should I let you go to that mission? If you get the piece of godhead in his hand, the Temple of Order, you will mess it up." What a miasma."

Ukonga turned his head, looked at the Prophet, and said with a smile: "Then you can go by yourself, do you dare?"

After the irony, Ukonga lay down in his own crystal coffin, the enchantment in the hall descended, and the figure of the prophet left the star.

Ukonga lying in the coffin stretched out his left hand, and there was a strand of black hair on the tip of his left finger:

"I just wanted to play with you out of curiosity. Why did you take it seriously and help me prolong my life for so long? You originally wanted everyone to be happy and comfortable, but why did you become like this when you came here? awkward?

It made me feel sorry for you, and wondered if I could revive you, alas. "

talking,

Ukonga stretched out his right hand again, holding a half-skull in his right hand, with golden lines embedded in the skull, suppressed by countless seals, but divinity still flowed out.

In addition, the position of the skull is extraordinarily shiny and smooth.

"My Lord Cthulhu, did your research back then succeed?"

While asking questions and feeling Ukonga, he rubbed the head of the skull with the back of his hand, which felt smooth and comfortable.

At this time, the hollow eyes of the skull shone with a deep light of wisdom, but this wisdom seemed to lack some agility.

A voice came from the skull:

"Congratulations, Wu Kongjia, you have found your original 'roommate', which means that my research can be successful."

"Duo!"

Ukonga tapped the skull with his fingers, making a crisp sound.

"He is of the blood of the Alt family."

"I believe that there must be other secrets in him."

"I know, but he has a special status now, and I'm not suitable for doing too much. Now the entire temple does not dare to provoke the anger of the inheritors of Tiranus."

"This is normal. Even in the last era, all the branch gods of order did not dare to provoke Tiranus."

"Let's wait until later, when I solve the most urgent problem now, I have to regain enough time before I can pursue time."

"Do you think you can succeed, Ukonga?"

"I don't know, but behind me is the Cult of Order, so I can't lose."

"Then congratulate you in advance for your success."

"I found that you have been different in recent years."

"where?"

"I have never relaxed the reinforcement of your seal, but when you communicate, it still becomes more and more natural."

"Is there?"

"Yes, obviously."

"I am very happy, as a pale spark of wisdom born from a corpse, it is a kind of recognition to be called nature, thank you, Ukonga."

"The return of the gods is approaching, and now every once in a while, I can hear that there is another change in the divine religion, and there is an oracle, haha, I was wondering, could this change of yours be a Because your main body will also return...or has it already returned?"

"If my deity returns, Ukonga, you should be happy."

"Why, Raniedare?"

"My true self is a dog under the seat of the great order."

"You don't need to demean yourself. In the last era, it was a great honor to be my master's dog."

"No, Ukonga, you misunderstood."

"What?"

"Only the owner of the dog has the key to release the dog from the leash.

If one day you find my deity, I suggest that you don't hesitate, let alone hesitate, and hurry to the direction where my deity is prostrate, and kneel down and worship together.

because,

no matter when,

no matter where,

My deity can always find the most suitable position for me to kneel down. "

Hearing the words, Ukonga sat up from the coffin and stared fixedly at the skull in his hand. A sea of ​​thunder immediately appeared in the hall, which meant that the owner of the hall was emotionally agitated at this time.

"Hehehehe..."

Wu Kongjia suddenly let out a laugh, and the sea of ​​thunder in the hall gradually subsided.

"Raniedar, even if my lord wants to return, why not bring other 'adults', but bring your own deity?

And, don't forget, your true self was suppressed by my lord himself!

Do you mean, compared to those 'adults', does my lord trust your real deity more? It's ridiculous, you think too much of yourself. "

The skull was silent for a while,

asked:

"But who can be more loyal than a dog?"
