13 Mink Street

For the past few days, Karen has been waiting for Tai Xisen to be summoned, but the old man has no intention of seeing him alone at all. After being reprimanded by him that day, the two have not seen each other again.

There must be maintenance here, and of course, there must be reasons for disappointment.

Picking up a precious long cigar treasured by the Castle family, Karen held it in his hand and stroked it slowly from top to bottom. When he encountered a hard knot, he squeezed it with extra strength. Well, this process was quite relaxing. .

Pick up the cigar cutter and cut a "V" with a "click".

Then he picked up the blowtorch and lit the cigar head, blew it, and after confirming that the center area was also bright red, he handed the cigar to Alfred.

Afterwards, Karen leaned back on the chair, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and closed his eyes.

Alfred began to puff and puff the cigar, maintaining an appropriate frequency and the concentration of each puff. As an excellent manservant, he can become a qualified incense burner when the young master needs it.

Time is slowly passing by.

finally,

The sky outside suddenly darkened.

Alfred laid the cigar flat on the end of the ashtray.

Karen opened his eyes, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the dark but light sky in front of him. Two completely different atmosphere attributes were harmoniously intertwined. It has a thin layer of rendering feeling, probably, this is sacred.

"Master, the great priest is here."

"Well, here we come."

Teams of black-armored knights approached from a distance, each of them exuded a menacing aura, and each hoof of the undead horse under the crotch would leave a scorched horseshoe print on the ground.

The pirates of the Castle family who were in charge of the security of this villa began to evacuate, and it was quite orderly at first, but when the knights approached and glanced at them without any emotion under their helmets, the pirates retreated in an orderly manner turned into a rout.

They were obviously not the enemy, and they obviously didn't start a war, but the way they ran away was really as embarrassing as they wanted.

Millis looked at the miserable appearance of his family's "elites" and smiled. He was really not angry, only grateful.

The Delan family and the Watson family have not responded at all, and the agreed time limit has passed.

An old thing who can't afford to lose, a woman with no courage and a child, their family will be completely wiped out because of their stupidity.

Man, sometimes it's so strange, obviously I'm miserable, I have witnessed the children dying in front of my own eyes these days, but now, Milis tasted a taste of happiness in his mouth.

After the death of a direct line, the strength of the family is still there, at worst, a side line will come to power.

Maybe, relying on this attitude of sacrifice and bowing their heads, Order will use the Castle family to govern Fire Island.

In short, there are people who are more miserable than themselves, and I feel much more comfortable.

Nearly a thousand knights surrounded the outer garden, and then a group of priests wearing the robes of order walked in here.

Above the Bieyuan, three huge eyes appeared, and they began to scan the bottom to prevent any concealment.

In the dark clouds above, there seems to be a huge figure swimming, but because it has not fully revealed its real body, it is not clear what kind of beast it is or... divine beast.

Giragon, who had been lying there all this time, raised his head and looked at the dark cloud, with a look of fear in his eyes, as if he had encountered a natural enemy, and he was also an unmatched natural enemy.

"Stupid dog, guess what it is?"

Pu'er is sitting on Kevin's back. The cat and dog are not in the other garden now, but on a hillside outside.

"Wang."

"Well, Wind and Frost Dragon, I feel a natural sense of oppression. It's really a big show for this great priest to travel."

"Wow woof."

"You said that this is a routine for others? It seems to be right. Rathma went to see Diss that time, it seems that he just came here secretly."

"Wang."

"Yes, this is the Cult of Order."

...

Morbitten stood waiting at the gate of the courtyard. A black carriage drove to the front. He stepped forward and opened the door, and High Priest Norton got down from inside.

After seeing the high priest, Milis took out the prepared medicine bottle, pulled out the cork, drank it all in one gulp, then walked to the cellar, sat down on the steps at the cellar entrance, leaned his head against the wall, and closed his eyes.

Karen originally wanted to take his team members to meet the high priest, but Vic came out and asked everyone to stay in the other garden and not go to greet him, because he was afraid that he would represent him.

In this regard, Karen can only obey orders.

However, he didn't think that the old man was just trying to get angry with the high priest. This should also be considered as a political posture. Sometimes, clear conflicts are resolved in the end, which is far more effective than continuing to be weird.

High Priest Norton came up the stairs, Morbitten ahead of him.

When the footsteps of the high priest landed on this floor, Karen and all the team members knelt down on one knee and said in unison:

"Praise the god of order, and meet the great priest!"

Morbitten introduced: "High Priest, this is the observation team."

At this time, Morbitten did not add any other introductions.

"Foden." High Priest Norton said with a smile, "It's your man."

"Yes, it's mine." Foden's voice sounded.

The whipman is here too?

Because everyone bowed their heads and knelt down, they couldn't raise their heads to face the real big shot.

However, the whip bearer next to the high priest would definitely not be a fake.

Karen raised his right hand, made a fist, and placed it on his chest. Seeing this, the other team members also made the same movement, and said in unison again:

"Meet the whip holder, the whip...for order!"

Foden smiled: "High Priest, I read the report specially when I came here. They have made great contributions to preventing the disaster on Fire Island."

"Well, a group of good young people are the treasures of the Whip of Order. You have to hide them well and don't be dug up by other departments."

"This is not possible, don't worry, I have arranged everything."

"Um."

In a simple scene, this is almost an instinct of a big man. If Karen and the others hadn't knelt on one knee to salute here, there probably wouldn't be such a conversation.

No, Karen knew that if Murray's grandfather, that is, Morbitten, hadn't said the introduction, the group of big shots would have just walked over.

Whether or not to introduce this sentence is actually very important.

From this point of view, Morbitten really helped. Of course, this is also very understandable. No matter how angry he is with Murray, it is impossible for his family not to mention something.

Old things are rigid, stubborn and serious, but not dementia.

This is the advantage of having someone next to a big leader. Sometimes, even if it is just on the scene, a word with the big leader, or a simple handshake, can change the fate of a person, a group of people, or even an industry. .

The great priest of the God of Order, his words and deeds can indeed have this effect.

But that's all there is to it.

The door of the room was opened, and the high priest and Foden walked in together.

There were more than 20 big figures with very unusual identities, all of whom stayed in the corridor. They are all those who can directly occupy several large pages of "Order Weekly" if they want to publish an article.

However, now they can only stand outside and wait obediently, with a solemn expression.

Karen hesitated for a moment, do you want to continue kneeling here?

I don't know how long the high priest will have to chat with Mr. Tai Xisen, the kneeling position is uncomfortable.

Karen stood up slowly, and the rest of the team also stood up when they saw the captain standing up. Although they were still "on guard", it was indeed much more comfortable.

...

Tehisson sat in a wheelchair with Vic beside him.

When Norton walked in, Texisen immediately crossed his hands, lowered his head and said sincerely:

"Praise the god of order, and pay homage to the great priest."

Vic immediately brought the chair over.

Norton sat down.

When Vic went to fetch the second chair, Foden shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't need it.

Vic stood back behind Texisen silently. He put away the cynicism of the past, not pretending, but when the high priest sat down, he felt his breathing tense, and his soul seemed to be caught by an invisible force. The strength is strangled.

He can be sure that his teacher is definitely not as powerful as the one in front of him!

Norton said, "You should take a rest."

Tai Xisen said with a smile: "Hurry up, I will have enough rest soon."

"Is there anything you need to explain?"

Tai Xisen raised his hand and said, "Let's be more straightforward, okay? You push me down later, and I will cooperate with you to perform this scene well."

Norton nodded upon hearing this, and said, "Okay."

"I have always been curious about one thing. Why did I lose so badly in the vote of the enlarged round table meeting? Tell me something direct."

Norton said, "Before that meeting, did you always feel that there were many people and factions on your side?"

"Yes, that's right. I originally thought that the enlarged round table meeting could pass the restriction on your power, but I didn't expect it to end up being a fiasco on my side. I can't figure it out."

"That's because I deliberately arranged for some faction forces to cheer for you."

"You arranged it? They have been controlled by you long ago?"

Norton shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in controlling them. They also have their own demands, but I deliberately suppressed them. It's considered that I deliberately squeezed them out to your old side."

"Then what?"

"I understand your old appeal. You and the people behind you do not belong to the classical school, nor do you belong to fundamentalism. You are very open-minded. What you advocate is to carry out reforms based on the current situation and formulate a system that is more suitable for the current situation. The order system of the situation needs to reproduce the balance of the church circle in Symmetra.

In fact, I agree with many of your opinions and policies, and I will adopt your suggestions in the future, but at present, I cannot do so, at least, not clearly.

I want more power, I have my own blueprint, and I don't want to be restricted.

Those factions that I squeezed out to your old side, they join your old side, it seems to make your old side more powerful, but in fact, they will behave more ostentatiously and crazier than your old side Also more extreme.

Gradually, it will arouse the resentment of the people in the middle circle, which is why you keep losing the enlarged round table meeting. "

"Is it that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple. Of course, the main reason is that the believers are actually tired of this system that pays for order and balance in all directions. My strategy caters to the current idea of ​​change in the church.

Perhaps, you are sensible, but everyone has begun to get tired of this so-called 'sensibility'.

The relationship between you and the previous high priest was too close, and the previous high priest was still your teacher, everyone felt tired of it.

And when everyone wants to change, no matter what your proposition is, they will instinctively resent and reject it. They don't want to hear your explanation and explanation, they just simply don't want to see you continue to control the religion.

It’s not that I won the enlarged round table meeting, but that you and those around you are no longer able to represent the aspirations of the majority of believers in this church. "

"The opinion of the majority... must be correct?" Tai Xisen asked.

Norton shook his head and said, "Let's leave it to time. There is no right or wrong between us, just a different route. Just like our great God of Order massacred gods at the end of the last era, if those who hinder order cannot If all the long-running stones are removed, then the operation of order is only a compromise based on a fragile balance.”

"You will bring the religion into the abyss of war."

"I am not the last Pope of Light. In my heart, I will always be loyal to the God of Order. This is a fact that even the Temple of Order cannot deny. No one in this world can doubt my devotion to Order."

Tehisson closed his eyes, he was tired.

High priest Norton also leaned back slightly: "Actually, I really hope that you and those people can live longer and see the changes I have brought to the god religion. Here, see the resonance."

"I also hope that you will succeed, High Priest." Tai Xisen opened his eyes again, showing deep fatigue, "But unfortunately, I can't witness it."

"I'm sorry."

"I don't want the church to be divided."

"I know."

"I will cooperate with you, but there are still some things I have to say. This is not a dispute between you and me, but in terms of specific operations. I think it is worth improving."

"I came here to listen to your criticism and suggestions, so you can say it."

"Just like this fire island, it's fine if the remnants of the light dare to make trouble. This is how they declare their presence now. However, the light has been silent for a thousand years. A thousand years is enough to wash a pile of gravel many times. .

This time, I saw the division within the Remnant of Light. When the real light replaced the Remnant of Light and became the mainstream, the religion had to re-examine its attitude towards the Remnant of Light. "

High Priest Norton showed a dignified expression, and asked, "What do you think should be done?"

"Or, the order will recognize the light again, but this is almost impossible. The entire church circle will not agree to the return of the light."

"Yes." Norton nodded.

During the process of the extinction of the light, and in the past thousand years, all orthodox theological religions have contributed to suppressing the remnants of the light. It is precisely because of knowing the strength of the light once, it is even more impossible to let it rekindle.

Taixisen said: "Or, let's start supporting it secretly."

High Priest Norton was a little surprised: "I thought you would suggest to intensify the attack."

"Continuing to fight will only dissipate the false light faster and accelerate the rise of the real light. Why should we help our enemies become purer and stronger?

The lights that are willing to accept our funding cannot be real, and we cannot allow them to be replaced and die, or we will face a far more powerful enemy.

Ahem... This world already has order and light, so there is something redundant. "

"Yes, I understand. I will follow your suggestion and go back and ask someone to formulate a plan and implement it."

"Also, this Fire Island, the Pirate Clan, and the Abyss all dare to do such a thing blatantly. Your series of actions in the early stage are actually a kind of indulgence to the church circle. I hope..."

"I'll correct it, I'm just waiting for a more suitable opportunity."

"Ah……"

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, as long as you know it, let the church circle continue to respect order."

"I will."

"The Mepers Islands? I have submitted the report."

"I saw that the sanctions plan is being formulated."

Taixisen was a little tired when he heard that, the high priest's attitude was much better than he expected, but after all, the two sides had deep differences, and it was impossible to reconcile this point.

What you can't do in your life, is even more impossible to do in your death.

"The last thing, after finishing speaking, I will accompany you downstairs to face everyone and finish the matter thoroughly."

"You say."

"I'm not speaking for the church's family and the old-fashioned forces in your mouth. Everything must have its reason for its existence. They may indeed hinder the speed of this church's ship, but they are also ballast stones. Radical Reform will easily destroy the original ecology and pace of my teaching. A person who walks slowly all the year round, if you let him suddenly start running, it will easily cause problems, especially for young people, they are orderly future.

Vic, call in the observers from outside. "

Vic immediately looked at the high priest, and the high priest nodded.

Vik then went to open the door, pointed to Karen and the others, and signaled them to come in.

Karen was a little puzzled, but he still led his subordinates into the room one by one, and stood in a row along the wall.

After Karen and the others came in, Vic stood at the door and did not rush to close the door, which meant that people outside the door could see and hear the movement inside.

Texisen stretched out his hand: "I'm thirsty."

The Vic stood by the door, the high priest sat;

The whipman Foden went to the side with a smile, brought a cup of tea over there, and put it in Taixisen's hand.

"Snapped!"

Tehissen poured the tea directly on Foden's face.

The whipman had ten thousand ways to avoid the oncoming tea at this time, but he didn't choose to dodge, but let the tea splash on his face, leaving a lot of tea leaves in his hair and face.

The majestic whipman now looks very embarrassed.

Tai Xisen scolded: "What a group of good young people, now they have become speculators who only know how to gamble at a young age, I feel sorry for these children!

If we continue to teach the young people of our church like this, where is the hope for the future of our church?

The people in this observation group should be dismissed, interrogated, and dispatched. Set a negative example and clear up the atmosphere! "

Foden was not angry, still smiling, and wiped the tea leaves off his face with his hands. At this moment, Vic trotted over to deliver the towel, but Foden gently pushed it away.

The whipman looked at Texisen, at the dying old man, and while pointing at Karen and the others standing there, he said word by word:

"They are my people."
