13 Mink Street

Candles continue to burn.

Karen propped her arms on the back of the chair and raised her head;

From time to time, the water vapor that had evaporated from above condensed into water droplets and dripped on his face.

The golden retriever was on a quadriplegic, with his chin pressed against the mat, his tongue sticking out, his stomach rising and falling, panting heavily.

After Pu'er finished telling what happened just now, she silently started to straighten her tail again.

One person, one cat, one dog fell into a long period of silence.

finally,

Karen took a deep breath and sat up straight.

In fact, after the purification was completed, he did not perceive any changes in his vision and hearing, but his way of perceiving the world did change.

It seems that a filter is added, and you can feel some "colors" that do not exist. Of course, this filter is not added to your eye sockets, but in your heart.

The world is still that world, and you are still the same you. The difference is that you were in cold and direct contact before, but now, you have begun to resonate with a similar sense of atmosphere.

This feeling should be able to be used in a concrete way, such as basic Kosmos spells, such as the notes that Mr. Hoffin gave him.

It's just that Karen doesn't think about these things for the time being.

"So, did you really...almost play it off?"

Pu'er blinked, and replied honestly: "There is no near miss, I really played it off, because the matter is out of my control, but fortunately, there is no danger."

"At this time, what should I say?" Karen asked, "Thank you for the blessing of the God of Order or the blessing of the God of Light?"

Pu'er shook his tail to confirm that the tail had returned to normal, and said: "This is the reality of this circle. In many cases, we are actually walking on the edge of life and death. Even if there is no influence from foreign enemies, we are in the process of pursuing progress. It is also easy to be bewitched, even, self-polluted."

"Next time, you can inform me in advance. I really thought I was going through purification, and I was surprised that purification was so dangerous. I even thought that if this is purification, then more than 90% of believers will undergo purification every year. Die directly."

"I didn't expect this to happen. I think Dies probably didn't expect it either. I can only say that this time it reminded us all that next time anything about God cannot be predicted with normal thinking logic.

So, sorry Karen, I misjudged the risk of it because it was beyond my knowledge. "

"Is that thing the reason why you turned into a cat?" Karen asked.

"No, if it weren't for it, I might not even have the chance to survive as a cat." Pu'er shook his head, "It's just that what happened to me back then doesn't make much sense to say now, the most important thing is that at the time The person who shot me is dead."

"oh."

Karen stood up.

Pu'er jumped onto Karen's shoulder, stretched out his paw and touched his face, saying:

"Cheer up, you are now a glorious servant of God, a servant of God who has been purified by the God of Order himself, you should get excited, get excited!"

"What's the difference?" Karen asked. "I don't feel anything special right now."

"It's like learning vocabulary in a primary school class. Everyone is learning it. You get 100 points in the test, and your classmates also get 100 points, but that's because the test is all stipulated in the test paper.

But in fact, while your classmates are still memorizing the words and phrases that need to be tested, you have already memorized the "Mackley Dictionary" in your mind.

I even think it may be more exaggerated than this. Not only dictionaries, but also excellent articles and novels in various categories, you have memorized them all.

A servant of God is like a primary school student. When the content of the exam is limited, it is impossible to intuitively see the gap between you and your classmates;

But by the time you get to middle school, the gap becomes clear.

Of course, there must be other special effects, but you need to study them yourself, just like Mary arranged for Mina and Lent to go to interest classes when they were in elementary school, maybe you can discover your extra talents and shining points Woolen cloth? "

"I understand." Karen nodded, stretched out his hand, and shook the chair. The golden retriever lying under the chair finally crawled out slowly. "How did it become like this?"

Karen felt that he should be the most tired, but this dog seemed to have just gone through ten purifications and was completely exhausted.

"It's scared, evil gods, that's it. You must know that in the mythological narratives of various orthodox religions, in the last two eras, in the early days, it was the God of Light who most liked to judge 'evil gods';

Afterwards, the God of Order rose up, and every time before beheading the gods, they would be named "evil gods".

So, it is like a mouse, suddenly saw two, uh..."

Pu'er frowned, and continued: "I want to change the metaphor."

"No need." Karen interrupted Pu'er, pointing to the waterway in front of him, "Are these just wasted?"

"You have already picked up the gold, do you still care about the sand?"

"No, you originally said three days and three nights."

"I really thought it would take three days and three nights, otherwise I wouldn't let the radio goblin help deliver the food on time and let the stupid dog take care of it."

"We also asked...your family to turn the performance hall into a cistern, and spent so much manpower and material resources to buy so much holy water.

Forget it if three days and three nights turned into two hours, and only a little of this pool of holy water was used. "

"Oh oh oh." Pu'er nodded immediately, "I see, you still think carefully, are you worried that it will be difficult to explain to those idiots like this? No, you shouldn't care about this, what you care about is that they will think you are In deliberate bluffing?

After all, it is impossible for us to tell them what really happened in the auditorium just now, well, those idiots are not qualified to know either. "

"My concern is that the next time I ask them to prepare something, they're going to be half-hearted."

You said you wanted a pool of holy water, and we got it, but you basically didn't use it?

So, this is for show?

When anything is defined as out of form, you can no longer expect it to continue to be out of mind.

"Yes, yes, this is a problem." Pu'er also realized the importance of this problem. After all, so far, the idiots of the Allen family are still very commendable in terms of their handling of affairs;

As the ancestor of the family, it doesn't want the idiots in the family to lose their attitudes, because they seem to have nothing but attitudes.

At this time, the golden retriever put his mouth to the edge of the pool, licked a sip of water with his tongue, and then immediately drank again.

"Ba ha ha ha..."

It was so happy to drink it, and even its tail wagged vigorously when it was sluggish.

After seeing this scene, Pu'er was stunned for a moment, then jumped off Karen's body, lay down on the edge of the pool, dipped some water in his paws, brought it to his mouth and licked it, his eyes lit up immediately, Immediately poked his head down and began to drink water happily.

"What's wrong with the water?"

Karen squatted down with some doubts. Of course, he would not naively think that the dog and the cat were really thirsty.

"Huh...woof!"

The golden retriever was finally full, and lay down on his side, his belly bulging.

Pu'er was also full, but it paid more attention to its image, lay down on its side, looked at Karen, and said with a smile:

"This problem has been solved. In fact, the water in this pool should be called blessed water, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is holy water, but holy water is not a simple noun, it is actually an adjective.

This kind of thing is also graded.

The finger of the God of Light and the bright breath released earlier are equivalent to blessing this pool of water that already has a blessing attribute, and now the quality of this pool of water has fully increased by three times compared to before.

Originally, the blessed water could be bought with secular money, but now, it can only be bought with coupons.

Simply drinking this water can help restore energy and relieve fatigue, but the real value is that it can be used as a material for making holy vessels.

We can go out now, those idiots see such a high return on investment, they will only be more active next time you prepare something, and they will adore you even more.

Come on, Karen dear, I seem to be a little drunk, give me a hug. "

Karen bent down and picked up Pu'er.

When Golden Retriever Kevin saw this, he stretched out his dog's paw while lying on the ground, and looked at Karen.

Then, Karen, holding Pu'er, stepped directly over it;

"..." Golden Retriever.

"Karen, don't you want a drink? You look tired."

"I'm physically exhausted, but mentally, very excited."

"Oh, yes, you just finished the purification, that's how it should be."

Alfred, who had been kneeling outside the auditorium, seemed to have noticed some changes ahead, but it took him a long time to muster up the courage to raise his head again due to the oppressive and intimidating atmosphere before;

He saw Karen who came out with Pu'er in his arms, and the golden retriever whose belly was shaking as he walked behind.

"Master..."

Pu'er made a "shh" gesture to Alfred.

Alfred understood and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he picked up the umbrella on the ground again, shook it and then propped it up again, and followed Karen down the steps.

On the other side, the old Anderson and others who had been standing under the eaves of the castle and paying attention all the time, came out at this time when they saw Karen, mistakenly thought that something happened, and ran over directly.

The old Anderson didn't care about opening the umbrella, and pushed away the grandson who wanted to help him hold the umbrella, and walked over quickly on crutches.

"Master Karen, this is..."

Karen replied calmly, "Something happened."

"Accident..." Old Anderson's lips trembled a little. You must know that Diss' grandson is his greatest hope now. He was even willing to pray to the ancestor to let Diss' grandson grow up quickly to protect the Allen family.

To a certain extent, it can be said that old Anderson cared more about Karen's "practice" than his own grandfather, Dees.

"Well, unexpectedly successful."

"It's okay, young master, we can prepare again, next time...huh?" The second half of old Anderson's words got stuck in his throat.

"Send people to continue to seal off the performing arts hall, especially the remaining pool water inside, and find a way to transport and store it properly."

"Yes, ok, I see."

Karen bypassed old Anderson, and also the Allen family and others, and walked straight to the castle.

After walking in, Eunice happened to come down the stairs and saw Karen who appeared at home again, she was a little surprised and asked, "Is it delayed?"

"It ended successfully."

"Yes, congratulations." Eunice walked towards Karen, "I'm going to the kitchen to help prepare the dinner that will be delivered to the auditorium tonight. Although my cooking skills are not as good as yours, I hope I can do something for you."

Eunice had bid farewell to Karen in the bedroom earlier, so she didn't stand at the door with her grandfather to pay attention.

Of course Karen would not say that even if you send it in, I won’t be able to eat it, because the three meals are prepared for it by Pu’er, and if he wants to purify for three days and three nights, he should be in a "coma" state all the time.

"I just want to taste the dishes you cook so much, so I can't help but want to come out quickly; after all, the distance from the kitchen to the living room is already a crime, let alone the long road in the rain."

"hehe."

Pu'er voluntarily jumped on the golden retriever, the golden retriever trembled, but still stood still.

These two are exhausted and frightened, they just want to have a good rest, and they don't want to watch the boring interactions before giving birth here;

The Golden Retriever carried Pu'er up the stairs unsteadily. Karen glanced at Alfred, and Alfred immediately went up with him. By the way, when the Golden Retriever almost slipped up the stairs, he caught both the cat and the dog.

"Master, I'll go up first." Alfred yelled, and went upstairs with Pu'er and Kevin in his arms. He had a question for Pu'er.

Seeing a chair across the corridor, Karen walked over and sat down. After sitting down, she found that there was an easel in front of her and a paintbrush next to it.

Most of this painting has been completed. In the painting, under the eaves of the entrance of the castle, old Anderson stands in the front with a cane, facing the auditorium in the distance;

However, old Anderson's eyes were not staring at the auditorium. His eyes were a little dazed, but also a little anxious, and there was a clear uneasiness hidden deep in his eyes.

Behind the old Anderson are Mike and other family members in a wheelchair.

The middle-aged family members had rather stern faces, while the younger family members looked a little impatient, because grandpa insisted on standing there, so they couldn't walk away first, and had to accompany them to continue standing.

Karen found that from the perspective of the corridor, through the glass, one could just see under the eaves of the main entrance.

Therefore, the painter should have been sitting here and painting before.

"Father drew it," Eunice said.

"Well, I can see it."

Because there is no Mr. Bader in the picture;

In fact, in the past, Mr. Bede, as the nominal patriarch, should have stood beside the old Anderson, feeling sad for entrusting the future of the family on a young man with a different surname, and the father and son exuded that kind of complicated emotions together;

But he didn't, he chose to sit here and even painted.

He is indeed not suitable to be a good patriarch. After all, even if he doesn't want to in his heart, he still needs to do some tricks on the scene.

Heh, he is really an artist in his bones.

At this time, there was a din outside, and old Anderson and Mike cheered emotionally at the entrance of the auditorium. Obviously, they discovered the change of the holy water.

Not only was the previous concern that Karen completed the purification faster than expected swept away, but he also marveled at this miraculous change.

You know, the value of this pool of holy water alone is enough to be worth the net profit produced by the Alan family's workshop for two quarters, that is, half a year!

That is the value of coupons, not coins like waste paper!

"Grandpa and the others seem to be very happy?" Eunice asked suspiciously.

"Hmm." Karen nodded, but his eyes continued to stay on the painting. Previously, he was only admiring the details of the characters in the painting. Now, he began to "appreciate" the atmosphere of the painting.

In the dark, he seemed to have a familiar feeling in his heart. Although he couldn't say exactly what it looked like, it wasn't the brushwork or the composition design, but it was deja vu.

Yes, it is feeling;

This should be the change after he became a servant of God;

Moreover, Karen really matched this feeling with some things in his memory.

At this time, Mr. Bede ran back in the rain and shouted excitedly to Karen: "Master Karen, you are really amazing, really amazing!"

"Father, I'll get you a towel."

"okay."

Mr. Bede pulled out a chair next to him, sat down in front of Karen, and continued with great excitement: "I have never heard of it, and my father is also very excited."

Karen nodded, and didn't explain anything, because they didn't need to explain.

It's just that the excitement of "Old Anderson" in Bader's mouth is broken. He should have misunderstood it. It's not because old Anderson conjured up the holy water worth coupons, but because of the "miracle" on his body, which made him more determined. own hopes and choices.

As the patriarch, Bede didn't even think of this level.

Karen looked at Bede with some doubts, and asked, "Mr. Bede, is there something I want to ask you?"

"Well, you said." Bede began to calm down his excited emotions.

"Have you been unable to pass the test of the family's belief system?"

Bede was a little surprised that Karen would suddenly ask this at this moment, but he immediately smiled wryly:

"Yes, in terms of bloodline talent, my two elder brothers and I have never been comparable, so I never thought that I would have the qualifications to inherit the position of patriarch.

Even, if it weren't for the fact that I look so similar to my father's photos when he was young, I think my father might suspect that I am his own, hahahaha.

Thanks to the invention of the camera, if it is an oil painting, it is really uncertain. "

Mr. Bader doesn't shy away from making his own jokes.

Karen laughed too.

Then,

Amidst the laughter, Karen suddenly folded his arms in front of him, and said:

"Praise Ralisa!"

Mr. Bader also made the same action almost like a conditioned reflex, and blurted out:

"Praise the Wall God!"
