13 Mink Street

Karen pointed to the corpses on the ground in the painting and asked Piaget: "What kind of clothes are they wearing?"

Piaget raised his hands: "I don't know. When I was painting, I only had pictures in my mind. If it weren't for Mr. Bede, I wouldn't even know that I was painting York City."

Mr. Bede said: "Karen, do you want to ask if these corpses on the ground are wearing Order armor and Order robes?"

Karen was silent.

Mr. Bader continued: "I can only say that sometimes the same picture can be interpreted in different ways."

"I understand, I know." Karen stood up and asked, "Can I take this painting with me?"

Piaget nodded immediately: "Of course, you can."

Mr. Bede took out a black market card, handed it to Karen, and said: "The drawing fee must be paid, and this has nothing to do with the relationship between you and me."

Karen knew that Mr. Bede was not greedy for money. Allen Manor was no longer as dilapidated as before. As long as he was willing to contact the manor, at least he would not be short of coupons to take Piaget around;

But he did not do this. Perhaps this kind of travel itself has special constraints and persistence.

"A specific amount?"

"After the specific amount appears in the scene in this painting, you will have someone input the corresponding coupons into this card, haha."

"Okay, I know."

Mr. Bede bent down, refolded the two silk scrolls, stuffed them into the pen, and finally handed the pen to Karen.

Karen put the pen into his pocket and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"We are part-time workers, and the probation period ends tomorrow. Please don't worry, we are here to enjoy the bonfire dinner, and we have no intention of throwing ourselves into the bonfire."

Karen looked at Piaget and asked: "Is it hard during this period?"

"It's very fulfilling," Piaget replied. "Every time I pick up the brush to paint, I have the feeling that Linda is standing beside me and accompanying me."

Mr. Bede suddenly said: "Then I will stand as far away as possible while you are painting."

"Well..." Piaget shrugged, "You know, Mr. Bede, that's not what I meant."

"I'm leaving." Karen asked, "After this is over, let's have a meal together?"

Piaget: "Okay."

Mr. Bader: "Everyone has his own journey to take. I think the true respect for a beautiful scenery is to immediately embark on the journey to the next beautiful scenery after appreciating it."

"I think there is no need to go to extremes in many things." Karen looked at her prospective father-in-law, "I believe Eunice is looking forward to her father, Madam also misses her husband, and the head of the Anderson family misses him even more. Younger son."

Mr. Bader shook his head and asked Karen: "Why don't you go home?"

"I...I haven't gone home yet."

Mr. Bader came over, reached out and patted Karen on the shoulder and said, "Me too."

Piaget asked: "So, are we going to say goodbye now?"

"Otherwise, Piaget, your work has been sold, and we can be much more comfortable for the rest of the journey." Mr. Bede said.

"Oh, okay, you have the final say, sir." Piaget walked towards Karen and gave Karen a hug, "My dear friend, if you can change back to your original appearance, I think this hug will be more beautiful. Be more natural, otherwise it will always give me a weird feeling."

"I'm sorry, but I can't meet your request at the moment."

"I really like York City. I miss a lot here."

Karen nodded and said, "Yes, after the closure of the mental hospital, you didn't even give the employees severance pay."

"cough………"

"Okay, we have to continue working. I believe that our Minister Karen will start to be busy soon." Mr. Bader pulled Piaget back. Before going out, he turned around and said to Karen , "Remember to go back and see Eunice more often."

"I will, sir."

"No, you won't. I even suspect that you don't communicate with my daughter as frequently as most people's pen pals. You may only think of my daughter once when someone asks you if you have a girlfriend and you answer that you already have a fiancée. "

"how can that be possible."

"Haha." Mr. Bede showed a meaningful smile, "When will you go home?"

"Less than two years, maybe a year and a half."

"My daughter is the granddaughter-in-law chosen by your grandfather personally. I believe that what the old man wants to see most when he wakes up is his grandson..."

"Marriage, I know."

"No, I saw my grandson appearing in front of him with his great-grandson in his arms. If you work hard now, you can do it in a year and a half."

"this……"

"Let's have a few more children, and leave one for him to learn painting from me."

"That's impossible, Mr. Bede."

Piaget asked curiously: "Why is this?"

He would rather be the painting teacher for Karen's children in the future.

"Alas." Mr. Bede sighed helplessly and answered Piaget, "This involves religious discrimination in the heart of the Minister of Law Enforcement of the Cult of Kosmos."

After saying that, Mr. Bede took Piaget and left.

Not long after, Richard came back while wiping the lipstick marks on his neck.

"Are you done talking, Karen?"

"The chat is over."

"Huh, that's great. Mrs. Paulifa is so enthusiastic. She said that I look like her long-dead husband. I originally thought that only men would chat up women in this way, but it turns out it's mutual."

"Let's go, you can go back."

"okay."

Karen and Richard walked out of the mansion, and Memphis drove over to pick them up.

After getting in the car, Karen said to Memphis: "This is a big deal, so we can put other things aside for now."

Memphis glanced at Richard sitting in the back through the rearview mirror and nodded.

"Pfft..." Richard laughed out loud, pointed at Memphis and said, "What can he do?"

Memphis asked: "Go back to the trial court?"

Karen hesitated and said, "Well, go back to the trial court."

It was half past two in the afternoon when they returned to the trial court. Karen declined Lucy's afternoon tea and called Vic into his room first.

After a while, Vic came out and announced that all the staff he brought in the trial center would stop working and enter a state of silence.

This means that you are not allowed to do anything, but you are not allowed to leave.

In the kitchen, Lucy, who was grinding coffee herself, stretched out her hand to gently push her husband and asked, "It seems like it's really a big deal."

"Yeah, yeah." Duck nodded, "The atmosphere in the living room has changed."

"This is your chance."

“In the past, I only knew that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, but now I find that opportunities are reserved for those who are bold. When I just passed by the living room, I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my throat.

My dear, will you look down on me if I say this? "

"Of course not. Listen, the doorbell rang. Go pick up the guest. It should be Karen who called."

"Okay, okay."

Duck washed his hands and dried them with a towel, then walked out of the kitchen and came to the entrance. When he opened the door, he saw an old man in a black coat standing outside.

"Hello, please come in."

"Um."

The old man nodded, walked in, and went up to the second floor under the guidance of Duck.

"Karen, the guests have arrived."

The old man reached out and opened the door without waiting for a response from inside. At the same time, his image changed.

"chief……"

Duck recognized who the old man was.

Bourne glanced at Duck and asked, "I need an iced coffee, thank you."

"Okay, Sir!"

As Duck walked downstairs, he felt that his legs were a little weak. As the son-in-law of a bishop's family, it seemed that he shouldn't be so disappointing, but after all, he still couldn't bear the pressure.

After delivering the coffee, the doorbell rang again. Duck walked over to open the door and saw Alfred standing at the door. Alfred was holding a cute little boy in his hand.

"Where is the minister?"

"In the room on the second floor." Duck knew Alfred and he had given gifts to his family.

"OK, thanks."

Alfred took the boy's hand and walked inside.

"Well, do you need something to drink?" Duck asked.

"Do not bother."

Alfred refused, but he found that Duck squatted down and asked the little boy.

"Do you need anything to drink?" Duck asked again.

The little boy shook his head.

Alfred held his hand and went to the second floor. The little boy said, "A bit smart."

Alfred nodded: "Yes."

The little boy added: "Even if you see it, you should pretend not to see it, so there are not many smart people."

Alfred stopped talking. He knew that it was his young master's uncle.

After the little boy opened the door, the image on his body immediately changed. It was none other than the dwarf Suss.

There were only four people in the room, Karen, Byrne, Suss, and Alfred who specially moved a chair to sit behind the door and took out pen and paper to take notes.

"It seems that the matter is really serious." Bourne smiled.

Suss rubbed his eyebrows helplessly: "Why are there so many things in York City?"

"Let me tell you the whole thing first. It all starts with the strange demon captured last night..."

Karen recounted the story, but blurred and omitted some details and key points.

Bourne picked up the coffee, took a big sip, and said with a smile: "Seraphim."

Soos jumped off the chair and squatted on the ground: "The secret of the return of the gods."

Bourne put down the coffee cup and said: "Come on, now let's find out who failed in their duty and allowed so many people from the abyss to come in without us noticing."

"Bourne, are you saying that our Whip of Order is having trouble doing things?"

Karen raised his hand and said: "According to the retrospective files and records, the Abyss Cult has been preparing for this angel for a long time, before the two of them took office; therefore, neither of them is responsible."

Bourne licked his lips and said, "Then this time, we need to mobilize the garrison."

Suss asked: "Do you still have influence over the garrison?"

Byrne answered frankly: "The apparent influence is no longer there."

Sus envied: "Then you can take this opportunity to take back the command of part of the garrison."

The last time Byrne lent the garrison to Cullen and asked him to storm the Whip of Order building, although he was promoted to Chief Bishop afterwards, many of the shadow powers he originally had under his control were stripped away. This time he was able to regain what he had lost. opportunity for stuff.

Bourne said: "I should envy you. If you can snatch that angel away and learn the secret of the gods' return in advance, your contribution... should be enough for you to be promoted out of this region."

Susi waved his hand: "There's nothing to envy about being promoted. When you get to the Dingge area, you have to start from the younger brother. On the contrary, it's the two of you who have always been the real power in this area. How comfortable it is."

Karen silently listened to the two adults complimenting each other and looking forward to the future. In fact, if it weren't for Piaget's painting, he should have joined it by now.

But the problem is, since the corpses of the Knights of Order and the Priests of Order appear in Piaget's paintings, it means that the Cult of Order intervened, but still... failed?

The six-winged figure floated in the air, apparently freed from its shackles.

Bourne said: "Let's do this. We have to arrange things as quickly as possible without any accidents or mistakes. I will secretly transfer in the garrison to ensure that it will not be noticed by the outside world."

Suss said: "The Whip of Order will control that urban area at the moment of action, so that the action will not cause too much impact."

Then, both adults turned their attention to Karen.

Suss said first: "Karen, I leave the specific action plan to you. After you finish it, give it to us to look at."

Bourne echoed: "Well, hurry up. It's best to have the first draft completed before midnight tonight. Just imagine yourself as the chief bishop and your district chief. In theory, you can write down the support and strength that can be mobilized in the plan. In the book, if there are some things that need to be arranged and carried out immediately, just send the message to the two of us directly."

"I understand, I will."

Karen did not refuse and accepted the task. The Regional Management Office and the Whip of Order needed someone to integrate the forces of both parties, and no one was more suitable than him.

Both adults stood up and left the bedroom.

Karen did not go out to see him off, but continued to sit by the bed. Alfred closed the door and walked to Karen:

"Master, I received a summons from Allen Manor when I came here. Mr. Bede, who has not returned from traveling for a long time, wrote to ask you about your wedding to Miss Eunice.

I think Mr. Bede may have something to ask you. "

"I've met him, and Piaget."

"Oh, really." Alfred was a little surprised.

"Piaget made a painting and gave it to me, no, sold it to me."

From this point of view, even if I did not meet Mr. Bede and Piaget in the mansion, Mr. Bede would come to make an appointment with me, and at least transfer this painting to me.

He knew his current position and knew that if something like this happened in York City, he would not be involved, so his prospective father-in-law still cared about his prospective son-in-law.

Karen took out Mr. Bede's pen and handed it to Alfred. After opening it, Alfred immediately recognized the material of the scroll and sighed: "What a luxury."

After unfolding the scroll and observing it carefully, Alfred's eyes widened:

"this……"

"What do you think, Afu?"

Alfred immediately calmed down and said:

"Master, my opinion is:

If prophecy cannot be changed, it makes no difference whether it is present or not;

If prophecy can be changed, it makes no difference whether it is present or not. "

"Do you really think so?"

"Yes, Master, I used to think that many things were destined. For example, Master, you will eventually become a great being. But since I followed you, I have moved forward step by step and studied your words and deeds little by little, Master. , I found that when we are calmly walking, the noise in our ears can actually be ignored."

“I couldn’t take the painting out and show them.”

"Yes, the Wall God Sect is still too sensitive. After all, it is a cult determined by order."

Karen added: "If it was just a cult problem, I believe those two would turn a blind eye. After all, they both knew and agreed to support a remnant organization of light to do things. What I am more worried about is Pi Yajie’s paintings will be so accurate.”

"It is possible that the Wall God Rielsa once broke out of the Gate of Reincarnation. Although she was just a walking corpse at that time and could not be called a god, Ms. Linda seemed to have deliberately left the Wall God's legacy to her. killed her husband.

Mr. Piaget's current position is a bit like the son of God of the Wall God Sect, and Mr. Bede is like...his retinue. "

"hehe."

Karen couldn't help but laugh.

Alfred also laughed. Obviously, he also recalled the scene when he vowed to be his young master's retinue.

"You and Vic make an action plan."

"Please rest assured, young master, we will do our best."

"Those two have a hidden condition, did you hear it?"

"My subordinates have heard it. They hope that the region will resolve this matter on its own to obtain the benefits they want. They do not want to let the superiors handle it."

"By the way, help me apply to Chief Bishop Bourne now. I want to go to the Dinge Region Sealed Space Management Office to meet with Lax Copper Coin.

Bourne just said that if anything needs to be done, he can be summoned and arranged. With his status as chief bishop, this is a very simple matter. "

In fact, there is also a sealed space office in the York City area, but Karen doesn't want to see Luo Ya here. She is worried that Luo Ya's arrival will cause a direct reaction to the copper coin in the mansion.

"Okay, young master, I will apply now. You can leave for the teleportation circle hall now."

That copper coin should now be helping the angel maintain its so-called activity, so if there is Luo Ya's help in the plan, the angel will have a seal on it;

Luo Ya can even use his own power to detonate it from the inside when launching an attack from the outside, so as to greatly reduce the difficulty of the task.

But there are no traces of copper coins on the seraphs in this painting.

This is also the reason why his young master wants to see Luo Ya first. The young master wants to discuss with Luo Ya in advance.

"Master..."

"What else do you want?"

"My subordinate feels that there is no trace of the copper coin in the painting. Does that mean that the copper coin was already in your hands at that time?"

This copper Lax coin had been reserved by my young master a long time ago, but he had been delayed due to other matters and had not had time to explore it.

But now it seems that this is a good thing, because if you went to explore before, you would probably run into people from the abyss. Even the coordinates given by Luo Ya were useless for a long time, and the people from the abyss had already obtained it. .

"Afu."

"My subordinate is here."

"A lot of people died." Karen pointed to the scroll on the ground, "How can you be sure that among so many people who died on the ground in the painting, there is no you, no Vic, no Richard... and no myself. Woolen cloth?"

…

The sea of ​​the abyss.

The seat of the ancestral court of the Abyss Divine Religion is a space filled with black sea, and every temple is floating on the black sea.

The temple group is more like a temple fleet.

I don't know how many years, this place has been following a rule, that is, the outer temples will break away from the team at a certain moment and disappear into the depths of the Black Sea. There will also be ancient lost temples that float back and rejoin.

It's just that this process of leaving and joining will be very slow. In years, a temple may have a premonition that it will leave and disappear this year, but it will only leave slowly, and it will take ten years to completely leave. You can't see it outside, let alone explore it.

The priests of the Abyss Cult have enough time to evacuate the personnel of the relevant temples. Of course, there are also those who would rather disappear with the temple, ranging from hundreds of years to thousands of years. When the temple refloats and returns, the temple will There will be no living people, only some carvings and written marks left behind.

At this time, at the top of the main hall of the abyss, which is in the center and will never disappear, a group of people wearing golden robes stood there. Their eyes looked at a looming temple in the distance in the mist. .

According to records, it should be a square. According to legend, the God of the Abyss swore an oath there before setting out to open up heaven. In the mythological narrative of the Abyss God Cult, it is called the "Heaven Square".

A year ago, a shadow appeared in "Paradise Square", which meant that it was about to return to the temple complex.

According to the Abyss Cult's own records, the last time Paradise Square disappeared was at the end of the last era, and history became chaotic during that period. In short, after that, the last era ended, and the new one is the current era where the gods do not emerge. start.

And now, Paradise Square is returning.

"How long will it take for Paradise Square to return to the main temple complex?"

"According to calculations, it will take at least ten years. This is based on the efforts of trackers."

If you pull the perspective forward, you can see a group of angels in front of the Paradise Square. They have one end of the rope tied to themselves and the other end hung on the square pillar, and they are struggling to pull the square towards the main building complex.

These angels...are the trackers.

Others cannot get close to the temple that has not fully returned. The result of forcibly approaching is that life will pass quickly. Even the elders of the temple can only stay in the temple for one day at most before they will completely wither and die.

Only angels have the ability to get close to it and be immune to it.

"Ten years is too long. We can't wait. How is the progress of collecting the angel's remains?"

"We have sent many elite teams to search the ancient battlefields and abandoned spaces. We are even trying to re-explore the fallen paradise, and we have lost many people."

"I don't want to hear about losses."

"Yes, some angel remains have been discovered outside. After being blessed, they have also shown signs of 'revival'."

"The resuscitation of angels means that our Lord is getting closer and closer. Perhaps, our Lord's eyes have passed through the barrier and come here. Otherwise, why would those angels who were dusty in the storage hall come here one after another? Open your eyes."

"Yes, some external angels have been brought back in batches, especially in Venn, where a seraph has been found."

"Seraphs? Such high-level angels don't even exist in the storage hall."

"Yes, high-level angels only existed in heaven at the end of the last era. He should be the one left behind after the collapse of heaven."

"Then why not transport him back quickly? High-level angels often have the angel captain sequence bonus, which can greatly improve the pulling power of these trackers and greatly shorten the time.

In addition, Venn, which seems to be the traditional sphere of influence of the Order, is not safe there. "

"Because its activity after resuscitation is very weak and cannot be transferred to the magic circle, we are using the Rax copper coins found in the same place to increase its holdings. We want to wait until his activity has accumulated a little more before transferring it. "

"You have to be fast. You must know that the one who is most sensitive to the return of gods is the Cult of Kosmos. Those guys from the Cult of Kosmos clearly have their own gods, but they are very repulsive to the gods of other religions."

"Please rest assured, it should be soon. Moreover, the news I just received says that the activity of the Seraphim has increased significantly. I have sent Lady Miliwen to personally handle the transmission."

"Lord Miliven..."

"The sons of gods I teach are different from other religions. Many of the sons of gods in other religions like to go out, but the sons of gods I teach only like to stay in the temple and shut themselves up. Lady Miliwen is already one of the sons of gods I teach. of alienation;

And her inheritance is the space formation. She is the inheritor of my teaching, God Noqi, and God Noqi is the student of God Palmires. "

"No matter what, the most important thing is to bring that Seraphim back as soon as possible. I can already smell the beginning of a new era. Whoever's main god can return first will most likely establish the status of the new era and praise the abyss. "

"Praise the God of the Abyss!"

…

"Hello, here is your receipt...Millivine Yoan?"

"it's me."

"Okay, your checked items will arrive in three hours, please pay attention to pick them up."

"Three hours, why does it take so long? When I checked in, I remembered that it would only take five minutes to arrive."

"Due to temporary changes, the teleportation circle in this area must first conduct a temporary teleportation."

"Heh, let me guess, it's a big shot who wants to travel temporarily, right?"

"It's good that you know."

"Oh, really, I have to wait here for three more hours."

The girl complained as she took out a lollipop from her pocket and put it in her mouth. With her blond hair, she now looked like an angry little lioness.

Then, she saw two administrators leading a young order priest past her. The staff who had previously treated her coldly had a warm smile on their face.

The girl took out a lollipop and asked: "Hey, who is that person who just passed by? She's pretty good-looking."

"He is our Lord Minister Cullen."

"Such a young minister? His family is very powerful, right?"

"No, our Minister Cullen was born an orphan."

"Orphan? I'm an orphan too, just like me. Haha."

"Can you compete with our Minister Cullen?"

"Crack, bang, bang..."

The girl bit the lollipop into pieces, turned around, and whispered disdainfully:

"Oh, is he worthy of competing with me?"
