13 Mink Street

"Wow...wow...wow..."

Karen stood on the Black Sea, watching the black water rushing in front of him, retreating back, and washing up again, tirelessly.

There is obviously no wind here, and there is no pulling force, but it still maintains a dynamic state, as if a huge heart is hidden inside, gradually recovering.

When a falcon knight team patrolled here, they lowered their altitude. When they saw Karen bending down to catch the seawater with his bare hands, the leader immediately reminded him:

"My lord, please don't touch it directly with your hands."

Karen withdrew his hand, smiled and nodded at him, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and threw it on.

The opponent catches:

"Thank you, my lord, come on, let's divide up, my lord invites us to smoke, haha."

Karen was the commander of the front line. Although he had never commanded the Knights, his popularity in the Knights was not low, and everyone was willing to regard Karen as one of his own.

After the falcon team left, Karen bent down again, swiped his hands in the sea several times, grabbed a handful, put them in front of him, and took a closer look.

Sea water is tasteless, but it has an attribute that makes the soul feel uncomfortable. This disgust exceeds the most extreme stench.

Moreover, after testing, there was a low concentration of pollution remaining inside. The priests working near the altar and the patrolling knights all activated the purification formations on the robes and armor in advance to prevent themselves from being attacked silently.

Of course, this kind of pollution is nothing to Karen.

In the central area of ​​the Black Sea, two huge wooden piers still stand there, standing still in the waves of the sea.

Behind Karen, stood Dali Wenluo and Alfred.

Further away, Little Kangna was sitting on a rock, writing homework.

In the communication formation with her family the day before yesterday, Xiao Kangna said to Pu'er exaggeratedly:

"Oh, my God, sister Pu'er, did you know that God is coming back!"

Pu'er's reply is:

"Even if the god returns early, it won't affect your completion of tonight's homework."

Karen shook off the water droplets, took the handkerchief Alfred handed over, and wiped her hands.

Dali Wenluo said: "To tell you the truth, I am very touched. It seems that the only gain from the battle against the God of Order is that my family can be reunited?"

Alfred corrected: "From the perspective of development, if these gods kill each other in order to return, we will still make money."

"Okay." Dali Wenluo shrugged, "I just think it's a little troublesome now."

Alfred did not refute, the fact is indeed the case.

According to preliminary observations, the return date of this coordinate is surprisingly early.

"Young Master, the God of Order and the God of Light can't hold on anymore?"

Karen shook his head: "I haven't felt any obvious recently, where is Neo?"

"Yesterday, my subordinates inquired about Neo's situation in detail, and he didn't have any special feelings, so my subordinates feel that it is unlikely that the barrier between those two suddenly collapsed."

Dali Wenluo guessed: "Could it be that the gods killed each other, and the effect is so obvious?"

Alfred pondered: "There are always variables, but the variables are staged. After Neo awakened the inheritance of light, the blessing of the God of Light should have shared a lot of pressure for the God of Order, so Austria Guref's return slowed down at that point.

The Cult of Order broke through the Garden of Life and toppled the Tree of Life. This should have been a further step, no, it should have interrupted Ogurev's return to a great extent.

There should be no way to kill each other and provide power for the tree of life. Objectively speaking, it can provide help; but the subordinates feel that this kind of help should also be limited, otherwise, the group of people who were killed The isolated gods should have speeded up the process in this way long ago.

But now, according to the actual calculation data, all the negative effects have been filled, and the progress has been pulled to the top. This is obviously unreasonable and even more illogical.

It can only be said that there should be some unknown variable that took effect during this period, like a hand pushing forward suddenly, breaking the balance. "

Dali Wenluo patted his bald head and sighed: "It's really a hopeless hand."

Alfred glanced at Dali Wenluo, and corrected again: "Everything has two sides, and it is still uncertain whether it is good or bad."

Dali Wenluo asked back: "How could it be good?"

Karen said, "Alfred is right, I'm not sure whether it's good or bad."

Dali Wenluo: "Master, you are right, I think so too."

At this time, a huge black hole appeared on the sky, and within the black hole, Ogurev Fortress gradually appeared.

This fortress is being transported here from the reverse flow space, and without any accidents, it will become the first line after the war.

Karen said: "The latest deployment results have come out, there will be 4 knights staying here, building fortifications for combat preparation, and the rest of the knights will return.

The effect of the summit was not as good as expected, but the real purpose was achieved.

All the religions are looking forward to the return of the two main gods of life. How will my order gods respond? Except for a small number of holy places of life in the periphery, most of them will continue to wait and see, waiting for the return of their masters .

At least for a long time to come, there will be no church power to threaten our church.

Everyone worships God, but they all use God as a tool.

They are all waiting to see my Order of the Gods kick off this era... no, it is the first round of divine battles in the new era. "

Alfred said with a smile: "In order to avoid suspicion, the partition plan originally agreed upon at the summit was also rejected, and most of the 'patriarchs' rejected the partition of the living remains."

Dali Wenluo said: "They are worried about incurring revenge. There is no need to attract hatred at this time. I hope that when the two life gods return, they can wholeheartedly retaliate against the order."

Karen stretched lightly, and said, "Very good, those who are irrelevant should get out of the way first, so I can concentrate on dealing with those gods."

Dali Wenluo said worriedly: "I'm worried that they will do it again when the Cult of Order and God are at war..."

"They have no reason to do this, you are too naive." Alfred shook his head, "The church is only looking forward to the return of its own gods, not the return of the gods. The inexplicable hard work here, go ahead and spend it with God."

Karen asked, "When will Dickno arrive?"

"It's almost there. He should be at the teleportation point by now. When he arrives, Philomena will be in charge of receiving him, surveying the scene, and formulating a war plan."

Dali Wenluo was puzzled: "However, his identity needs to be kept secret."

Karen said: "I'll play the role of a genius commander again, come up with dozens of plans, smash them, and I can also show gold content and convincing degree.

Otherwise, according to the habits I teach, I am afraid that I will have to wake up a few commanders to come out. It is very urgent, so let’s save money if possible. "

Alfred took out a notebook and said, "Master, there is something that I need to report to you individually, about the recent changes of all the members in the coffin."

Dali Wenluo asked, "Aren't I right here?"

"It's not just you."

"Then I should be the one with the highest talent and the most obvious improvement."

"uncertain."

"How is it possible, are you deliberately targeting me?"

Dali Wenluo thinks that Alfred is belittling himself on purpose. You know, he has gained a lot recently, relying on Karen's protection, he devoured the broken inheritance of the garden of life.

Alfred said calmly:

"Geniuses are not uncommon in this world. What is lacking is a suitable platform. A good platform can allow geniuses to shine and pick up stars, while a bad platform can allow geniuses to visit and wash dishes.

Your recent gains have benefited from the platform that the young master built for you, but you are not the only one on this platform, and the others are not fools. "

Karen said: "It's time, I'm going to the high priest to make an evening report first, and you can report to me when I come back."

"Okay, master."

"Konna."

"Oh, good!"

Little Kangna put away her homework, turned into a bone dragon, and carried Karen to the temporary residence of the high priest.

Dali Wenluo was puzzled: "The high priest of order, why hasn't he returned to his Holy See and is still stranded here?"

Alfred said: "Please pay attention to your speech, you are our high priest."

Dali Wenluo: "But, aren't you our high priest?"

Alfred put away the notebook,

Put it back in your pocket:

"I won't show you in advance."

"Dry!"

...

After the summit, the high priest still did not return to the Holy See. In the eyes of outsiders, this was to prepare for the return of the two main gods, but Karen knew that the reason was not limited to this.

Because when he bypassed the chief priest who worked through the communication formation and came to the small courtyard, he saw a lot of flowers and plants newly planted in the small courtyard, and there were several flavors of tea, coffee, and various snacks on the coffee table.

Obviously, before I came in, there were many "Nortons" who had worked here, and the workload had already overflowed obviously.

This shows that the avatar of the high priest showed signs of "riot" again.

When Karen entered here, he also saw three shrinking blood stains remaining at the feet of the high priest. The high priest should have killed himself several times before.

Unlike before, the high priest was not reading a book this time, nor was he holding a cigar in his hand. He lay back on the chair with his eyes closed.

Karen didn't bother, just stood by.

The high priest stretched out a finger and pointed to the coffee table.

"Thank you, great priest."

Karen didn't refuse and was polite, and obediently walked to the coffee table, drinking tea and snacks, which tasted very good.

While Karen was eating, the high priest still leaned there with his eyes closed.

In his mind, he was recalling the previous scene.

Tiranus, revived again.

Unlike in the past when he tried to subvert and control himself, this time, he seemed to just want to say a few words to himself.

Like a winner, declare victory ahead of time.

"Norton, you have seen that the world you want is too ideal and seriously out of reality. You think you are great, but you are just making the same mistakes as before my lord. The difference is that you Not as powerful as my lord, so all your actions now look so childish and ridiculous."

"Tiranus, you better stop talking, you are looking more and more like a clown."

"Yes, I am a clown, and we are all clowns. You should have read the latest 11 observation reports. Hehe, some reports are very unclear, but I can announce the answer to you in advance. .

They are all the same as the accident in the garden of life.

Ridiculous isn't it?

You lead the Cult of Order in an attempt to delay and delay the return of the gods;

But the branch gods of order, we 'adults', are actively promoting this process.

No matter how much effort you put into Norton and how much you plan ahead, it doesn't matter.

Because we 'adults' are also one of the powers of the divine religion.

We are more legal than you in this religion. In the eyes of outsiders, you, Norton, are the inheritor of my Tiranus, but in fact, you are just an apostate. "

"I am sleepy."

"You have a good rest, Ogurev will lead the two life gods back here soon, and the rest of us will only be a little slower than him.

The world of the return of the gods is not scary.

Because we are also the first batch of returning gods, before you tear your face apart, you still have room for repentance, Norton.

We can shelter the Cult of Order, and I think this is what my Lord would like to see. "

"Do not defile the Lord."

"Look, when we come back one after another, I don't believe that the knights of order, the priests of order, will be bewitched by you and attack us. We just need to wave our hands...the Holy See and the temple will welcome them real master.

And you, Norton, will be judged by order. "

"I don't deny that a scene like this might really happen if I waved my hand, but you... don't deserve it."

"You'll see, Norton, soon."

...

The high priest opened his eyes, and he saw Karen sitting there, eating deliciously.

If it was Foden, he would eat obediently and naturally, but he would not feel the real enjoyment of food.

The superior is very sensitive, and Norton clearly felt that this young man really regarded himself as a high priest, but he was only a high priest.

"Is it delicious?"

"Returning to you, it's delicious, really."

"I thought that the people of Wayne have a strong taste, and I'm not used to these light foods."

"I think it's just right."

"There is a document under the coffee table, take a look."

"Yes, great priest."

Karen picked up the napkin, wiped her hands, and took out the file bag.

There are many documents in it, and they are all observation reports.

When Karen saw the first copy, he didn't notice anything unusual. When he saw the fourth and fifth copies, he immediately realized it and spread out the first few copies to read.

This is a vision observed by the Religion. A few are in inaccessible areas, and most of them are in special areas under the control of the Religion.

Each... is like a replica of the original Ogurev Fortress.

However, the description in the report is rather vague, and the progress is not high, but even so, "signs of return" were still observed.

In an instant, the happiness brought by the delicious food disappeared, replaced by deep and terrible pressure.

That hand was finally clear.

It's no wonder that the process of returning is not slow but rather fast, given that I have done so many things on my own side and the Divine Cult's side... The reason is that the branch gods of the order department, as if they had made an appointment, suddenly collectively exerted their strength!

Behind each branch god, like Ogurev, there are a group of gods.

"well……"

Karen sighed without hesitation.

This look made the high priest laugh, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Karen replied: "It's like a young child who is working hard to do things, but the elders in the family try to hold you back under the banner of doing your best."

"Yeah, very vivid."

The high priest stretched out his hand, Karen delivered a glass of iced red wine to the high priest without even thinking about it.

The high priest took a sip and said, "I found that your thoughts and cognition surpass most of the priests of order."

This kind of subtle and consistent synchronization is very comfortable, but after thinking about it, you will find something is wrong.

After all, there are some inner thoughts that even Krede and the others need to be tested and screened to let them in, but every time this young man casually reveals them, it seems that he has entered this circle a long time ago.

Karen replied: "It's all taught by the whip. He often assigns me homework, leads and inspires my thinking."

"Oh, I see."

The high priest nodded. Foden is indeed one of the few subordinates who can keep pace with him. It is not surprising that the people he taught can have this cognition.

The high priest no longer wondered why Foden was so kind to this young man, because the talent and ability shown by Karen had reached the point where it would be abnormal if Foden was not kind to this young man.

"Karen, tell me what you think."

"The subordinates have no idea, anyway... the "Order Regulations" have clearly written how to punish apostates."

"Hehehe, hahahaha..." the high priest laughed, "You just put these adults, these branch gods who need to be enshrined and worshiped in other god religions, into apostates Sequenced?"

"High Priest, we have no other choice." Karen said, "There are countless stories in Symmetra, but the word 'compromise' is the only thing that doesn't exist."

"Do you know what that means?"

"This subordinate knows that this subordinate has just returned from the Black Sea, and has already simulated in his mind how this battle should be fought when our Lord Ogurev returns with the Lord God of Life and other gods.

This is a battle destined to be very difficult. We don't know whether we can win it, and even if we win, the loss will never be small.

From the point of view of intelligence, we will fight 11 more similar battles.

Is this... the civil war of my Kosmos?

The blood of followers of order, the loyalty of the First Knights, I don't know how much will be consumed in this civil war, and how much will be left.

But we still have to fight. "

"Why?"

"If you fight, there is still hope of winning. If you don't fight, then I will teach, and the order will be polluted in an instant."

The Cult of Order who lost the courage to fight against the gods and the belief in maintaining order... would no longer be that Cult of Order.

The high priest was silent, and he spread his other hand.

Karen cut the cigar and lit it, delivering it to his fingertips.

The high priest took a sip, spat it out slowly, and said:

"I am very relieved. I am willing to believe in you, at least representing the thoughts of a large number of young followers of Order."

"High Priest, I believe that my Lord also thinks the same way."

"The 'adults' are like this, do you still believe in my lord?"

"I firmly believe."

"Very well, then continue to believe in it and don't waver."

"I will, High Priest."

Karen sorted out the information, put it back into the file bag, and said, "High Priest, I will go through all these observation points immediately and compile a more detailed report."

"In terms of investigation reports, these departments are indeed inferior to you. Your intuition and vision in this area are indeed very good."

"You have praised me, this is the job of my subordinates."

"But no need, you put down what you are doing and go back to York City first. During this time, you don't need to go anywhere. Take a good rest and wait."

"Great priest?"

"The operation on Minke Street, the temple is preparing to launch ahead of schedule."

Karen said unexpectedly: "At this time, the temple is still thinking about this?"

After witnessing the appearance of the Black Sea, especially after seeing so many observation reports, Karen has already played down the incident on Mink Street in his mind, because he subconsciously believes that the main contradiction right now is this.

"It is precisely because of such a thing that the temple took this action in advance.

I expressed my objection to the temple, and I also got angry with the Prophet. I said that the time has come, and the religion should first concentrate on dealing with external threats. "

"Prophet, what do you say?"

"The prophet said: If you want to resist external threats, you must first settle the inside."

Karen felt extremely absurd, and asked in disbelief:

"No, is he really a prophet?"

The high priest exhaled a smoke ring, glanced at Karen, and said slowly:

"I give you permission to call him a...fool."

Karen stood up and said, "High Priest, please rest assured, I will make good preparations."

"Um."

"The subordinate is resigning, and I would like to ask you to resign."

This meant that Karen was about to hand over the enviable job of an attendant.

Karen turned around and walked out.

When he was about to go out, the voice of the high priest came:

"Karen."

Karen immediately turned around and faced the high priest: "High priest, what other orders do you have?"

"Let me change someone."

Karen: "!!!"

"I suddenly felt that although I am a believer in order, everyone can sacrifice for order, but you still have other uses. Now I think it is more valuable for order to keep you and keep you alive."

"No, High Priest, please don't think so, I'm ready, and I will make sure to complete the task!"

"You are still young, perhaps, I should leave some seeds for the future of my teaching."

"I see it as a workout, I believe in myself and I can take the beating and the test."

"Too dangerous."

Karen put her fist on her chest and shouted:

"I swear to the great my lord that the task will be completed!"

"well."

The high priest sighed, and didn't insist anymore. Previously, it was just a temporary consideration of "sentiment" and "long-term interests", which made the balance slightly swing towards Karen, but his reason told him that he was still sleeping. bit, the value is greater, especially for the current situation.

"Strive to come back alive."

"Yes, great priest."

Karen walked out of the small courtyard, and this time he deliberately quickened his pace, for fear of being stopped again.

Leaving the small courtyard and passing through the temporary office hall, Karen came outside the palace, stood on the steps, took out the black paper from his cuff and threw it out. The black paper automatically turned into a crow and flew out. This was to inform Alfred and the others. I want to go back.

Morbitten turned around, looked at Karen and asked:

"My lord, it seems that you are going back first?"

A smile appeared on Karen's face.

replied:

"Yeah, I'm going home."
