13 Mink Street

Walking out of the cemetery, two people stood at the gate.

Karen looked at Neo and asked, "When will you come back to work?"

Neo didn't take it seriously and said, "I'm still a poor patient. When did the Cult of Kosmos exaggerate to the point where even seriously injured employees need to be squeezed?"

"The Cult of Order will continue to squeeze even the dead, what do you think?"

"cough……"

"It's very busy right now and needs manpower."

"Hey, you can do this alone, you don't need to take me with you?

In case you make a mistake, and the higher-ups are not fools, and if your position is removed and you are thrown into prison, there must be someone who keeps the position so that he can go to the prison to deliver flour and seasonings to you, right? "

"Flour and spices?"

"Make oil-splashed noodles, didn't you bring it down to see me last time, I don't know how to make it, so I can only bring you the ingredients and make it yourself."

"Should I hand it over to you after I finish it, and then you will pass it to me?"

"I serve it up first, and then bring it down, so that there is a sense of ceremony."

"Oh, by the way, what's going on with that magic technique?"

"What spell?"

"[Decent Burial]."

"Oh, the name I thought of at the moment has no other meaning, any similarity is purely coincidental.

By the way, what about Bourne, Bourne and Walforon are also on good terms, no worse than you, what did he say? "

"He, like you, thinks it's too wasteful for two people to do this together."

"That's right. According to his original intention, he probably didn't want to do it. After all, he is a person who can even send his own son away. Okay, I still want to continue my vacation. There are some things I need to deal with."

"Are you going abroad?"

"It's still in Wayne, but it's not in York City. Anyway, if you need it, send me a message and I'll be right back."

"Um."

"However, have you figured out what method to use?"

"Think slowly, there is still time."

"Don't cover it up a little bit, in the most extreme way."

"I know."

"Then I'll go first, good night."

Neo's figure turned into a cloud of blood mist, which drifted away in an instant, and walked very fast, as if Karen was afraid that he would be pulled back again.

Karen felt that he was ambitious. In the past, he had never seen Neo ask for leave to avoid work. In the past, the captain of the hound team was very enthusiastic about work.

Is it because I borrowed Leon's coupons and leveraged to win a large sum last time?

Karen thinks this possibility is very high. If he makes money, he will slack off his work. If he loses money, he will go to the rooftop to blow the wind and immediately devote himself to work to earn bonds and pay off debts.

After hesitating for a while, Karen finally returned to the Ankara Hotel. The reason why he did not choose to go home was that Pu'er was not at home.

If you don’t have Pu’er at home, it’s no different from a hotel.

Open the room, check in, take a shower, and sleep.

Now is the mission period, Karen is reimbursed for board and lodging as a minister. In fact, even if there is no mission, Karen also has vacations in his job benefits. In theory, he can stay in Ankara Hotel for free for a period of time;

But very few senior priests in York City waste their vacations in this region. They might as well take the teleportation circle that is reimbursed at public expense and go to those beautiful regions to relax.

After waking up, Karen originally wanted to order room service, but suddenly realized that if he ordered it, it was likely that the member of the Order Whip who was in charge of security would push the dining car for him. This is not good, so he went in person after washing Dining room.

There were not many people in the restaurant, but the food was very rich. After Karen walked in, it was the same as last night. A waiter came to serve him. After sitting down, the food according to his needs was served.

While eating, Alfred came over, followed by the attendant of the Chief Bishop of Berne behind Alfred.

"Master, this is the fruit that the chief lord gave you."

Last night, Bourne said that he would give himself fruit gifts.

Karen glanced at the big box and said to Alfred, "Take it to my room and check it."

Of course, it is impossible for Bourne to really only deliver fruits. He is not involved in this matter, but he will provide help.

"Yes, master."

When Karen finished delivering breakfast and was about to take the elevator back to his room, he happened to see Alfred coming out of the elevator.

"Go, go to the conference hall and talk."

Karen led Alfred to the conference hall. At this time, the relevant personnel of the conference were entering and the venue was being set up.

He chose a corner and sat down. Alfred took out three letters, let Karen glance at them, and then took them back. Obviously, he also knew that his young master trusted him so much that he couldn't even open the letters and read them again. To the point of being too lazy to do it.

"Master, the three envelopes represent three addresses. One address is the secret office of the Desert God Cult in this region, and there are contact information in it."

Karen shook his head and said, "There's no point in going to them."

Although the Desert God Sect and the Desert God Sect have not been formally separated, the relationship between them has reached the point where fire and water cannot be tolerated, and a civil war can be said to be on the verge of breaking out.

It stands to reason that the Desert God Cult definitely does not want the desert to be supported by Order, but you let the Desert send people to attack and kill Order's territory at this time...they wouldn't be so stupid.

It's hard to say how much of the attack encountered on the way to escort Luther and his party into the Ankara Hotel was a real desert believer or a desert believer.

However, according to the established rules in the church circle, if a person goes to a place like a hotel, it is really embarrassing to carry out an attack, and the tolerance of the attack on the road is higher.

"The subordinates also think so. They have no reason to act now, and it is impossible to act. Because the current relationship between Order and the desert is still secret and has not been made public. No reporter came to this meeting, and no announcement will be made after the meeting. If the desert takes the initiative to pierce it, it will really force the order to end."

"What about the second address?"

"Well, the second address is the secret office of the Bright Remnants under our command."

"The first two are just to make up the number, and what Bourne gave me should be the third."

"The third location is...a courthouse, in the suburbs of York City. There is also a teaching on the bottom of the envelope, which is similar to what you saw through the quill pen when you went to the Knights to repeat the medical examination at the hospital, young master." The stories are very similar.”

"A believer in the fundamentalist order?"

"Yes, this should be the suggestion of the Chief Bishop of Berne to use the fundamentalist believers in the church to complete this murder with a knife."

"Yeah." Karen nodded.

"The subordinates feel that this suggestion is the most appropriate, because the desert and the light, one is unrealistic, and the other will involve us. No matter how well the operation is, it is only a face-saving, but the higher-ups can tell at a glance who arranged it. of this matter.

And if you can use this group of people, the nature of the matter and the attention from above after the event will not fall on you again.

The most important thing is that this is something they like and are willing to do. They have always adhered to the ancient teachings. Then, the forces that assassinated the chief bishop's family are still trying to get the support of order, which is intolerable to them.

In addition, they should use their channels to publicize this matter, so as to achieve the political purpose of attacking the above.

All we need to do is to tell them the truth about this matter. "

Karen looked thoughtful, and the image of the old man who was in charge of the "faith examination" in the hospital affiliated to the Knights appeared in his mind. His name was Da Wensi;

Then Karen shook her head.

"Young master, do you think there is something wrong?"

"There is a big problem, and the problem is that..."

Karen pointed to herself.

"Master..."

"You think that the other party has a motive to make a move, which is not wrong. But the other party is not a fool, and the cost needs to be considered in doing anything. For example, even if the other party knows the truth of this matter this time, the reason why they are unwilling to operate is very likely. Yes... I'm the minister in charge of security for this conference.

In a short period of time, what method should I use to make the other party feel that not only will I not intervene, but I will also give them the green light?

If it were other people, they would be able to operate and always find opportunities. I even think that they were part of the attack that the Luna Cult encountered here last time.

But just because it is me, from their point of view, there will be very little room for operation, because my reputation is outside..."

"The subordinates didn't think of this level."

Some winds can only be truly felt at a certain location or at a certain height. Karen rarely does specific work, but he has always been keen on the wind direction.

"Actually, Bourne has already given me advice. What he means is, let me communicate with the other party in person and reach a cooperation."

"But, if that's the case..."

"Are you worried that the cost is too high? After all, getting involved with those people is a very risky thing."

"Yes, young master, you seem to have always been disgusted with them."

"I can't talk about disgust, it's just that I knew from the beginning that we are not on the same side as them, so I specifically asked you not to have any contact with them before.

But the situation is different now. In this matter, if I don't come forward in person, the other party will not be willing to do it. Let's focus on the main contradiction first. As for the future involvement, we will talk about it later. "

"So, young master, you decided to seek cooperation in person?"

"Well, no matter what, they are also believers in order over there, and they are not foreign teachers."

"Young Master said so."

Both Alfred and Karen were silent for a while. There is a saying that everyone knows well, that is, sometimes compared with conflicts outside the church, the line disputes within the church may be more intense and irreconcilable. .

"Go to this court right now and ask for a meeting on my behalf. I want to see Da Wensi. I think, given my current status, that former teacher should be willing to see me.

Ha ha, after all, I am a medical examiner with full marks of faith. "

"Yes, master."

Alfred got up and left the meeting room, and at this time, the meeting was officially held.

On the conference table in front, the conference group from the Dingle region and the desert representatives headed by Luthor Elanga were having a meeting and negotiating, and other personnel from both sides below were also taking notes and preparing to provide information and materials.

Karen sat in the conference room and listened all morning, and he finally understood the reason for the change of mind.

Because the desert side... really wanted to split from the desert, and chose to be a dog of order, and it was the most dignified kind.

Even, in the outline of the meeting, there is a five-hundred-year plan, which is to predict that after five hundred years, the Desert God Sect will be integrated into the order and become a branch of the order.

No matter how small a religious religion is, it has extremely high requirements for its own autonomy, and the affiliated religious religion also has autonomy, while the desert religious religion seems to be completely ready to put its skin and bones on the table for the order to taste.

A possibility came to Karen's mind, that is, the Desert God Cult might be betting that the return of the gods would change all the existing patterns.

This is the matter... Does the high priest know?

Did he agree to do this too?

This seems to be the style of the great priest, he will fight for power and interests; but it doesn't seem to be his style, he himself... is extremely noble.

A very contradictory existence.

At lunch, the meeting is temporarily adjourned.

Karen got up and walked out of the conference hall.

Luther took the initiative to walk towards Karen and waved: "Minister Karen, can we have lunch together?"

"I'm sorry, but I have work to do."

"Oh, that's a pity, I would have liked to ask your opinion on the agenda of this morning's meeting."

"I think everything is going well."

"Yes, everything went well."

"Then I'll go first, and I'll make an appointment next time I have a chance."

"Your business is urgent."

Yes, my official business is to discuss how cooperation can keep you all here.

Karen's eyes shifted from Luther's face to Elanga's face. If they sent the assassin, then the target of the assassin's attack should also be designated by them.

After the assassins killed the Walforon family that night, they were the second to board their house, which meant that they also listed their names on the list of assassins. Although he did not have the current position at that time, he It is already a very famous one among the younger generation.

Walking out of the conference hall, Karen took the elevator to the ground floor of the hotel. Not long after he walked out of the hotel, a black crow began to circle around him. It cannot fly into the hotel and can only be received by walking outside.

After opening it, it turned out that it was Alfred who sent the message. The meeting appointment was made, and Davinsi would meet with him in person.

The black paper burned into ashes in Karen's hands. Instead of going outside, Karen asked for a carriage at the entrance of the hotel and sent Karen to the door of a cafe as quickly as possible.

Karen was about to pay the bill, but the coachman saluted and said, "My lord, you can pay the bill."

This can be regarded as a mutual assistance method between various system departments, and the accounts will be settled at the end of the year or before the audit begins, but the previous Karen was not eligible to enjoy this kind of treatment.

"you know me?"

"Of course, Minister Karen."

"Um."

Karen got out of the carriage and walked into the cafe.

The waiter came over and said softly, "Please come with me, my lord."

Karen followed the waiter upstairs and entered a room upstairs. There was actually a short-distance teleportation circle inside, and the walls of the room were covered with special materials. Volatility is minimized.

Of course, this is only suitable for short-distance teleportation. If it is a long-distance teleportation, the fluctuation of the formation basically cannot be completely hidden.

"My lord, please stand in the central area."

Karen walked in without hesitation. Soon, the formation was activated, and the white light covered him. After the light dissipated, Karen found himself standing in a very retro living room.

There was no one in the living room, but through the window of the living room, a tea table and two chairs could be seen on the grass outside.

"Crack..."

The living room door was opened, and Alfred stood there: "Master, I have confirmed that there is no one else in this area, and Mr. Davins is here alone to meet you."

"Well, he seems to be much more frank than me."

Are you really not afraid to take his head to receive the reward?

Karen walked out of the living room into the garden, while Alfred stayed at the door.

This place should be a villa on the outskirts of York City, the surrounding area looks very empty, very quiet and deserted.

Darwins stood up, looked at Karen, smiled and said, "Minister Karen, I can swear that when I gave you the physical examination, I really didn't expect that we would meet in this way in the future."

"I didn't expect that either."

"Please sit down."

"Thanks."

There are three cups on the table, one of which should belong to Alfred.

"I just had a chat with your valet, and I found him very interesting."

"Yeah, it looks like you guys had a good chat."

"Yes, an interesting soul always brings its own fresh breeze. So I look forward to talking with you. I think a good manservant must inherit his master's thinking."

"That may disappoint you. I didn't come to talk to you about ideas and theories."

"Is that the case, your manservant has already told me, I have to say, you really trust him."

"He's one of the few people I trust most in the world."

"It can be seen that this is indeed the case." Da Wensi picked up his teacup and took a sip, "I am very happy to cooperate with you. The specific plan can be discussed with the people below. You let go of the security, and I will send people to kill people." .”

"You agreed so readily?"

"Because this way we can save enough time to chat about the breeze, hehe. In other words, compared to the matter itself, I value the friendship with you, Minister Karen."

"Friendship? I'm sorry, I don't like such a word very much. What I want to hear more is your conditions. I think our relationship is better if it is limited to pure cooperation."

"It's up to you, so can I put forward my conditions?"

"Okay, I'll listen carefully."

"Perhaps you can wash your ears with tea."

"Um?"

"It seems that you don't know about a trend that has arisen recently. Among the big shots in the upper Dinge area, it is very popular to play this kind of performance art recently. It washes your ears to show that you are listening carefully. It is often seen in the superiors and subordinates who have a good relationship."

"Well, it's a very novel trend."

"Sometimes trends are just like this, they arise out of nowhere and then disappear out of nowhere."

"Yes, but you seem to be off topic."

"You are really anxious, hehe, well, Minister Karen, my condition is that if one day..."

Darwins sighed, then turned his head, looked into Karen's eyes, and continued:

"If one day, you are responsible for cleaning us, please raise your hand a little bit on the basis of not embarrassing yourself, and let us keep some seeds."
