13 Mink Street

The banquet was not grand, but the standard was very high, and even the waiters wore the robes of order.

This does not mean that Pacio's grandfather arranged people from the church to serve as servants in his home, but because Pacio's grandfather, Mr. Jemal, is still serving as the vice principal of St. Antis Higher Church School.

When his family needs to hold a banquet and lacks manpower, the student union cadres can immediately organize manpower to help.

Not arranged, but voluntary.

Pacio's parents don't work in the Dingle region, so there are only grandparents at home.

According to the rules, Karen and others went down to meet his grandparents under Pacio's leadership. The two old people were very kind, at least they behaved very kindly, and they were also very knowledgeable, saying words of encouragement and persuasion to every young man , and the words used are different.

After going through the process, those who like to socialize go to socialize, those who like to taste food go to taste food, and those who like to be quiet find a quiet corner.

Karen chose a seat by the window, diagonally across from the band, playing soothing music.

Ventura brought a large plate of food and asked, "Captain, are you hungry?"

Karen shook her head.

"I see that Captain, you didn't eat much at noon."

"Drink too much coconut milk, I'm not hungry."

The coconut milk I drink during the day is not pure coconut milk, but a drink that doesn’t feel greasy, but the sugar content may be a bit high, which makes Karen still not hungry.

"Are you really not going to eat?" Ventura asked again.

"You try to eat more and eat my share back."

"Okay, Captain!"

Ventura chose a table near the upper counter and sat down to concentrate on eating.

Karen leaned against the wall, playing with the coin that Pillow's mentor gave him. The coin felt cool and comfortable to the touch.

Lying on the beach by the beach during the day, with blue sky and white clouds on the reclining chair, and leaning here at night, holding a glass of iced lemonade and listening to music, today is indeed very relaxing.

It was just because Karen had been staring in one direction in a daze, the girl who was playing the violin mistakenly thought that Karen had been staring at her, and her face was blushing.

"I found that you like to be alone, but you are not withdrawn."

Murray sat down opposite Karen, then turned to look at the girl playing the violin, "Is it blocking you?"

"No." Karen shook his head and changed his posture. "Socialization is a need. As long as there is a need, there is a limit. During this time, the big guys are basically together. When the demand in this area is full, I want to Cherish the opportunity to be alone, because solitude is also a need."

"Hehe, then shall I go?"

"If you're okay, sit down."

"Well, I'm fine."

Just as a waiter passed by, Murray snapped his fingers and took a glass of red wine from the tray.

"My family also has a manor here. The scenery is similar to Pacio's house, but the elderly in my family don't like living here, so it has been vacant. You can take your fiancee here for vacation in the future, just tell me."

"Okay, thanks, I like it here, and I'm sure my fiancée will too."

"It can be seen, hehe, I have been to Wien, and only after I went there did I know why the people of Wien were so keen on being pirates hundreds of years ago. If you don't do something violent and bloody in such a cold place, the whole person will Frozen."

"Indeed, the weather in Wien is tormenting."

"Hey Karen!"

"Karen, you are here!"

Leon and Laurel appeared not far away. Obviously, they were also invited to the dinner party. They saw Karen sitting here and walked over together.

However, when they saw who was sitting and chatting with Karen face to face, the expressions of the two of them suddenly became a little unnatural.

Murray turned to look at them and asked Karen, "Your friend?"

"Well, yes." Karen stood up and introduced, "Leon, Laurel, my friend in York City."

Murray turned to look at them, without getting up:

"Hi, I'm Murray."

"Hello."

"Hello."

In fact, Karen knew that Leon and Laurel should know Murray, but obviously, Murray didn't know them.

Although they are all sons, there is still a big gap. After all, one is from the capital circle and the other is from the provincial capital circle.

"Karen, let's go over there to say hello to the elders. Let's go first and talk later." Laurel said.

"Okay, let's talk later."

Laurel and Leon leave.

Murray took a sip of his drink and didn't look at them again.

After Karen sat down, Murray said with a smile: "I originally thought that such an excellent person as you would be too lazy to greet them."

"They are nice people."

Karen remembered that in the middle of the meeting, they provided him with an extra meal, and then during the following meeting, the three of them basically went to the small room to steal food. After Leon knew his identity, he didn't worry about it because of the rumors outside. angry with myself.

However, these are not within the scope of Murray's consideration.

In Murry's view, identity and talent must at least be equal in order to be respected by him.

"Looks like I have to take back what I said earlier."

"Which sentence?"

"Solitary and withdrawn."

"Actually, this is survival." Karen took a sip of lemonade, "You just skipped it all the time."

"Well, I admit that because of the relationship at home, I may lack some empathy for your situation." Murray shook his glass, "Sitting is so boring, why don't we find a secluded coconut grove and have a nap?" One?"

"fight?"

"Um."

"I want to sit here and listen to music." Karen laughed. "You didn't come here just to fight with me, did you?"

"No, it's just a little boring. If you don't want to, forget it."

"Let's listen to the music. After we go to the Valley of Reincarnation, our nerves will be tense again."

"That's right." Murray touched his pocket and asked, "Do you have any cigarettes on you?"

"have."

Karen handed Murray the cigarette case and lighter.

Murray opened it, took out one, bit it in his mouth, lit it, and said, "I've been suffocated to death these days, and the poor hotel in the training base doesn't even provide cigarettes."

"Hehe." Karen smiled, "Let's go for a walk."

"Okay." Murray smiled too.

The two captains got up and left without alarming others. After going out, they walked towards the back of the manor and found a secluded coconut grove.

"Unfortunately, without a weapon, does it affect you?" Murray asked.

"Fortunately, it's just to pass the time, and I don't really want to do it."

"It's interesting to do it with seriousness, isn't it?"

Muli took off his divine robe, revealing the muscles of his upper body. Under the moonlight, the scars on it were clearly visible.

Bart also has a lot of muscle, but he doesn't have any scars.

"Since I was young, my grandfather would let my uncle train me alone. I was beaten up growing up."

"It's also an expression of love."

"Heh." Murray smiled, "How did you manage to talk nonsense with your eyes open?"

Karen shook her head.

Murray reminded: "Don't you take off your clothes? It will be rude to go back to the banquet if it gets dirty later."

"It's okay, just don't get dirty."

"Yes, yes, I like your abrupt way of speaking. If a person like you can beat you down, it will definitely provide me with more happiness."

"bring it on."

"Then I'm here."

Murray's legs bent, he squatted down, and his muscles tensed instantly. A glowing round shield appeared on his left arm, and a daunting short knife appeared on his right arm.

Behind him, there is a broken figure.

"You have a family belief system?" Karen wondered.

"It was a long time ago, but it's not anymore. My family has long dedicated everything to the Cult of Order. Can you see the shadow behind me? He is my ancestor, but he is also a devout follower of Order.

What I use is not the family belief system, but the magic method, but it needs my blood to be inspired. "

Karen nodded, he understood.

The ancestors of the Benda family and his grandfather Diss came from opposite sides. The former brought his family's belief system into the Cult of Order, while his grandfather stripped the family's belief system from the religion.

Pu'er once said that if the Allen family continues to decline, what awaits the Allen family will be reduced to the same fate as a breeding pig and dog.

In fact, the same is true in church circles.

So many systems, so many systems, so many departments, where did they come from?

Are they all self-developed?

Oh, how is it possible.

"Buzz!"

Murray rushed up.

Karen spread his hands, and four chains of order appeared on the left and right sides, completely erecting his body. When Murray rushed, Karen quickly retreated.

When Murray approached again, Karen waved his left hand, and a wall of order flames condensed directly ran towards Murry.

Murray hit it forcefully with his shield, and his whole body was covered with a layer of dark yellow luster, directly smashing through the flame of order, but immediately, he saw three cages of order appearing under his feet, in front of him, and above his head.

"Roar!"

With a low growl, Murli's dagger smashed through the cage of order in front of him. However, when he jumped out, a field of punishment guns suddenly appeared around his body.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Continuous explosions sounded, raising a cloud of dust.

Karen looked down, his hands gathered together, and a layer of prism-like existence appeared below Karen.

"boom!"

The ground under Karen's feet collapsed, and Murry rushed out from below. He slashed hard and broke the prism, but as Karen retreated, there were more and more prisms in front of Murrie.

He can break seven holes in one breath, and Karen can immediately make up ten holes for him intimately.

For a long time after that, Murray was like a bull, constantly breaking through Karen's spells one by one, and Karen, on the basis of controlling the distance, used them one by one, which had not had many opportunities before. All the spells were thrown at him.

Murray wants to rely on this method of consumption to deplete Karen's spiritual power reserves.

Karen knew what Murry's purpose was, he didn't care, it was just for fun anyway.

Prolonged stalemate.

Murray couldn't wait for the result he wanted, from full of confidence at the beginning, to doubt, to bewilderment.

Finally, after Karen experimented with other spells twice, he spread out his hands, palms facing down, and foundations began to condense under his feet.

Seeing that Karen was about to summon [Black Prison Castle], Murray raised his hand, the shield and dagger disappeared, and shouted:

"I don't play anymore."

Karen waved his hand, the foundation dissipated, the chains of order that had been holding his body on both sides retracted into his body, and his feet finally fell back to the ground.

"I lost," Murray said.

In fact, Karen was also slightly surprised. The strength of the captain in front of him, especially the power contained in his body, was really terrifying.

That is to say, in the final selection, the goal of Eudemons was the main goal, which limited his performance. If he really wanted to fight in a real fight, Bart would not be his opponent, no, almost few in the audience would be his opponent.

"I know that you have a way to quickly rush into the body, but you are useless."

"Yes, I have, but you will pay a price for using that, and the damage is uncontrollable. It's just for fun, there is no need to be serious. Besides, you are good at melee combat. I saw it from the time you fought with Mentor Levin. It can be concluded that you only used magic techniques and did not fight me in close quarters, after all the calculations, on the basis of reservations, you still won."

"Who knows the real outcome of the fight." Karen had no interest in deciding whether to win or lose.

"Why is your spiritual power so rich? My body can store more power, but compared to the spiritual power stored in your body, I am a little desperate."

"Naturally, when I was a child, I often dreamed of the back of the God of Order."

"Hehe, hahaha, why does it feel like I'm using my excuses perfunctorily."

"hehe."

Murray put on the divine robe, stretched his body again, and said with emotion: "After a fight, I feel much more comfortable and hungry."

"I'm hungry too."

...

Before the banquet was over, the two captains returned to the manor. Karen took some food from a plate and sat down to eat slowly.

Murray picked up a large bowl of staple food and two bowls of dishes on the buffet table, sat opposite Karen, picked up a big spoon, took a bite into his mouth, and chewed.

Karen smiled and said, "You are a foodie, I'm really embarrassed to say I know you outside."

"What I'm after is physical improvement. Generally, warriors have a lot of food, because we can digest it and absorb it better."

Hearing this, Karen couldn't help thinking of Ophelia, she was also very good at eating.

"Which girl are you thinking of?" Murray asked.

"Um?"

"You smiled."

"Is there?"

"The radian of the corner of the mouth must be thinking of the girl, and not your fiancée."

"Why do you have to be so delicate as a warrior?"

"Warriors need to be rough?" Murray shook his head, "Our family's hereditary high priest guard captain, that position is not purely based on muscle, that position requires more people to observe, not only to observe the high priest, There are others.

In addition, the Department of Psychology at Dinger University was established with the help of my ancestors. "

"Really?" Karen was a little surprised, "I'm also interested in psychology, and we can communicate more in the future."

"Okay, no... Hey, you changed the subject. It seems that you are a girl who has a crush but can't be together. Do you know what is pure beauty? It's what you can't get."

Karen picked up the ice water, took a sip, and said slowly, "Does your grandpa dislike you?"

Murray froze.

"Your family is very prominent, but in this family, your life from childhood to adulthood has actually been very depressed and not happy at all."

"I'm so upbeat and cheerful."

"So you are very strong. If you guess correctly, your unhappiness may have something to do with your mother. Since you were young, you should have lived in an environment that lacked maternal love. I guess, is it because of your mother? Your grandfather Not very satisfied with you and your father?"

"Who told you that?"

"Coincidentally, I usually like to read some psychology books."

"Heh, heh heh." Murray laughed, "Damn, you, I have nothing to say, you are right, my grandfather is a very strict person, I must be better than my peers, Only then can he really treat me like a grandson."

"The grandfather in my memory is exactly the opposite of yours. No matter what I want to do, he is willing to come and help me realize it."

"You deliberately."

"Yes."

"I said, would you envy my family background, for example, my grandfather's identity, I want to hear the truth."

"Won't."

"Not at all?"

"No."

"You don't have to lie to me."

"I didn't lie to you, really."

"Hehe, yes, you friend, I admit it."

you misunderstood.

When the dinner was about to end, Pacio came out to say the last words of thanks, thanking everyone for coming to his birthday party, etc. These words finally made many people remember:

Oh, it turns out that today is his birthday.

...

"My lord, the candidate has been selected."

The old man sitting on the chair slowly opened his eyes. Kneeling in front of him was the photographer from the afternoon. He had another identity, he was the B-level department director of the Cult of Kosmos divination system.

"who is it?"

"One is a young man named Ventura in the York City Region. Both his parents are deceased. His grandparents are the grassroots clerks of the Academic Affairs Building in the York City Region.

another……"

"Why are not you talking?"

"The other is..."

"Is it my grandson? See how hesitant you are."

"Yes, my lord, the other one is your grandson, Master Murray."

"Um."

"My lord, the two of them were calculated and tested based on the known conditions. They are the most suitable candidates to replace the two carriers. However, the subordinates can try to replace..."

"You said it was the best, didn't you?"

"Yes, but..."

"It's all for the Cult of Order. This is the honor of Murli, the honor of my Benda family, and it's not allowed to be changed."

...

Back at the hotel, after taking a shower, Karen just lay on the bed when Ventura made the floor bunk at the door of his bedroom with the quilt in his arms.

"Ventura, are you going to follow me home from now on?"

"No, captain, there are people in your family, don't worry, I'm outside now, it's just you and me in the room, I don't worry."

Karen can only be left to him.

Before turning off the lights, Karen took out the photo from the pocket of the divine robe, and touched Ventura's blurred figure with his fingertips.

"Ventura, do you think you're lucky?"

"I've always thought I was lucky."

"oh?"

"I met that grandfather before I was born, and now I meet you, the captain."
