13 Mink Street

If Karen had come, Mrs. Tang Li, who was originally sitting on the second floor, might have changed her clothes for going out in the blink of an eye, carrying a basket and pretending to have just returned from shopping for groceries and met her on the road.

But now that her grandson was back, Mrs. Tang Li took out a key from her pocket, flicked it, and threw it out of the window.

"Crack!"

Looking at the key that fell in front of him, Richard couldn't help but look up at his grandma and shouted seriously:

"Grandma, have you found any evidence that my mother had an affair?"

Philomena walked to Richard's side and asked, "There is someone at home, why do you need to lock the door?"

Richard replied: "Grandma is an old man at home. The door is locked for safety to prevent thieves from entering."

With that said, Richard picked up the key and patted it gently. The keys spread out and formed a rune. The protective formation formed with the entrance door as the center was temporarily suspended at this moment.

Richard reached out and pushed gently, and the door opened.

Philomena: "Is the formation activated?"

Richard: "I guess my grandparents had a quarrel."

When she walked in, Mrs. Tang Li happened to come down the stairs and asked:

"Richard, where have you been these days?"

Philomena: "Pastry shop."

Mrs. Tang Li pointed at Philomena: "Why don't you control him?"

Philomena: "I took him there."

Mrs. Tang Li: "Are you out of your mind?"

Philomena tilted her head slightly and tilted her left ear downward, as if "pouring out" the water from her brain.

This is a provocative behavior and a tacit understanding between master and disciple.

Mrs. Tang Li's teaching method has always been simple, rough and direct. Do you want to learn something?

Provoke me, give me an excuse, I will beat you and teach you.

Mrs. Tang Li moved, her figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Philomena.

Philomena stepped back.

The speed of both sides has reached a certain level.

But at the moment when the bodies intertwined, two ghost figures appeared on both sides of Mrs. Tang Li. One ghost figure was holding a scimitar and the other was holding a dagger. At the same time, the surrounding space was completely blocked, bright red Its luster imbues everything in sight.

The only way for Mrs. Tang Li to break the situation is to increase her current strength. While breaking the restraints, it will also collapse the Guman family's house.

The most important thing is, is she the only one who can increase her strength?

Although there was the factor of underestimating the enemy, this time, from the perspective of the assassins' confrontation, it was she, the teacher, who lost.

Mrs. Tang Li stayed still, the two ghost figures disappeared, and Philomena returned to her original position.

"Who taught you this?"

"Learned by sleeping."

Mrs. Tang Li smiled slightly, then changed her face and snorted coldly: "Ha, it seems that I am not qualified to teach you anything anymore."

With the inheritance of dual gods in hand, which assassin in this world is qualified to continue teaching her?

Philomena nodded: "Yes, you are right."

Mrs. Tang Li took a deep breath.

Richard quickly asked: "Today is a holiday, where is grandpa?"

"The holiday has been canceled a long time ago, don't you know?"

"The preparation of war resources does not involve the formation department. Grandpa is not that busy."

"Your grandfather has gone to see the chief bishop for business."

At this time, a black crow flew into the window. Philomena reached out to grab it, unfolded it, and read:

"Official document confirming the approval of the recruitment application."

Richard looked at Mrs. Tang Li: "So, is this the reason why you and grandpa quarreled today?"

"Who quarreled?"

"The defense formations at home are all broken. There are no changes on the first floor. Did you smash something on the second floor?" Richard walked behind Mrs. Tang Li, reached out and gently pressed his hands on grandma's shoulders to massage her, "Grandma, I know you are reluctant to let go, but this is Grandpa’s inevitable choice and the responsibility of our Order Priests. This is cruel to you, but you cannot change it.”

Philomena continued to read: "Applicant——Tang Li Guman."

Richard was stunned.

Mrs. Tang Li: "Your grandfather knew that I was also applying. He was so angry that he smashed things and damaged the defense formation at home."

"Grandma, you are not a believer in order."

"But the believers of Order were born to me."

"Who let you pass?"

The first round of recruitment is for elderly high-ranking priests. With such an identity, it is almost impossible to fake their way in.

"Chief Bourne, so your grandfather went to find him."

Richard frowned.

Philomena reminded: "You can ask Karen."

Richard: "Without Karen's nod, would Bourne dare to add grandma's name?"

"Okay." Mrs. Tang Li stretched out her hand to push away her grandson who was standing in front of her. "You order believers are allowed to praise order in front of me and run to die at the same time, but you are not allowed to join me? I can only stand. Are you still sad while applauding you and praising your greatness?"

Richard sat down on the sofa, crossed his hands, and asked: "Grandma, do you know what kind of war this conscripted legion is? It is not like the war we imagined, the beginning of setting foot on the battlefield. It has basically no survival rate.”

Philomena asked curiously: "Do you have his complete memory?"

Richard's body had been controlled by Eternity for such a long time in the past, but now, he had synchronized the latest information. He could only take the time to look at the battlefield during Eternity's leisure time at the snack shop.

"That's not the point." Richard comforted Philomena and looked at his grandma again, "Grandma..."

"I know. Bourne showed me the images in the memory crystal."

"So, there is no possibility of you saving my frail grandpa on the battlefield."

"I can hold up a shield, and I can die with your grandfather."

Richard was speechless for a moment. He couldn't accept it, but he couldn't stop it at all. He felt that Karen should be the same.

"Your grandpa and I are old and have lived enough. Maybe, with us dying in front, you young ones can survive a little longer.

I don't believe in order, but I can't bear to leave your grandfather, and as an elder, I have to do something for you. "

Richard leaned back, deliberately sinking himself into the sofa.

Mrs. Tang Li looked at Philomena and asked, "He just confessed his love to you in the car?"

Richard sat up suddenly and asked: "The defensive formation is on, can you still eavesdrop?"

Philomena replied: "Yes."

"Did you agree?"

"Um."

Mrs. Tang Li: "When his mother returns home from work in the evening, I have to share the good news with her quickly to make her happy."

Philomena: "She won't be happy. She doesn't like me."

"Have you seen it a long time ago?"

"Just like you favor Karen."

"That's okay. It proves that she's not too obvious."

At this time, Delong walked in from outside the house, wearing a red bishop's robe that looked very wrinkled. Standing at the door, he looked at the living room, especially at his wife sitting on the sofa, and his chest heaved.

Mrs. Tang Li smiled and said: "Look, you are just not as smart as your grandson. As soon as he heard that it was arranged by Bourne, he knew who nodded behind him. You, the only one, had to go all the way to make a trip in vain."

Delong: "Tang Li, since I got married, I have listened to you on everything at home, but this matter..."

"Your grandson is in a relationship with a girl from the Fisher family."

"But in this case, I will never...ah, have sex?"

Philomena: "Not yet."

Delong immediately calmed down and pointed at his wife: "It's not about the children now, it's about you. Tang Li, you really went too far this time. You should go to Bourne and revoke this contract." Recruitment application!”

Mrs. Tang Li stood up from the sofa. Mr. Delong's arm immediately fell down. He didn't dare to look directly at her and moved away to dodge.

"Delong, I gave you face, didn't I?

Now, there are only two ways in front of you. One is, I will go to the battlefield with you, you will burn yours and I will collapse mine. The memorial service can be held together to save some time for the children.

Another one, you want to go alone, right? Okay, I will kill you first, and then I will commit suicide, making your death worthless. "

Delong was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "Oh, how could you do this, how could you do this!"

Mrs. Tang Li: "You should have realized that when you signed the application, you also signed my name."

Delong sat down on the chair slumpedly, stretched out his hand to caress his forehead, and after a long time, he said:

"I'm hungry."

"I'm going to cook." Tang Li walked to the kitchen.

Philomena stood up, walked to the kitchen door and stood there, looking inside.

Mrs. Tang Li: "Are you supervising the work?"

"No, I'm just showing off."

"Who taught you that, Richard?"

"eccentric."

You clearly know who taught it, but you deliberately avoid the correct answer.

"You really agree? I mean, don't think about it anymore? Haha, you know, at the very beginning, I thought you would like Karen."

"You didn't have three children with Dis either."

"It's beautiful and luminous, and naturally I can't help but look at it more, but it's not love, and it's not suitable for life. I admire Dis, but I have never loved him. What I have always liked is Richard, his grandfather. "

Philomena didn't answer.

"Why don't you speak?"

"You are inducing me to say the same thing as you. When you are not comparing yourself with Karen, you still love your grandson."

"Boom!"

Mrs. Tang Li threw the kitchen knife on the chopping board and put her hands on her hips:

"Fortunately, I was selected. Otherwise, living under the same roof with you would be really hard to accept. I even think Kaixi has become much more pleasing to the eye and cuter."

"Are you going to die?"

"Pooh!"

"I won't be able to eat braised chicken legs."

Mrs. Tang Li sighed, blinked hard, and her eyes became moist.

She reached out, gently hugged Philomena, patted her back, and said, "Kaixi has never said such a heartwarming word in her life."

"Are you touched?"

"um, yes."

"This sentence was also taught by Karen."

…

Office temple, teahouse.

Cullen and Kreider sat opposite each other, while Prodalas and Foden sat on the same side.

On the other side, Alfred was making tea. He handed the tea to Creed first, then to his young master, and then to Foden. Foden brought the tea to Prodras, and then took the fourth one himself. cup.

Creed took a sip of tea and asked, "Is the second round of the war about to begin?"

"Yeah." Karen nodded, "Soon."

Creed pretended to smile calmly: "No matter how rich your family background is, if it continues to be used up like this, it will eventually become a bit too much for people to bear. It is not easy for our ancestors to accumulate such a little wealth."

Karen knew that Creed was distressed, and immediately comforted him: "The background is the ancestors themselves, and they have no dissatisfaction."

Creed pursed his lips, looked at Prodras, and said politely: "Tell me the important things."

Protaras took out a document and reported: "Currently, the scale of the orthodox theocratic collective aggression and annexation war is getting larger and larger, and the confrontation is becoming more and more intense. However, this can be regarded as creating a new world for our cult of order. A relatively stable environment.”

After all, what the Cult of Kosmos is most worried about is that while they are fighting against the return of the gods, the church circle is silent.

Creed asked: "What about the status of dues payment?"

Protaras: "The payments are very active, especially after our teaching announced that other war resources can be used to offset the coalition's formation plan, they became even more active."

Foden wondered: "Why not form a coalition army? Wouldn't it be better to go up and consume it?"

Karen replied: "If they don't have the mentality to die decisively, they will collapse in the face of the tide of gods. Not only may they not be able to stop the gods from returning, but they will also become the first round of meals for the gods."

Foden shrugged: "Wouldn't that be too cheap for them?"

Protaras said: "According to the acting high priest's recommendation, the recruitment of foreign teachers' volunteers has officially begun."

Creed hurriedly asked: "How is the effect?"

Protaras: "The effect is very good. Many foreign priests voluntarily gave up their status as foreign teachers and joined the volunteer corps. This eliminated the inevitable existence of organizations similar to the Silent One and infiltration by spies. The enthusiasm of the vast majority of people is still very high."

Foden: "Identity verification is the responsibility of the Whip of Order."

Protaras: "In addition, in accordance with the requirements of the War Academy, the first round of recruitment for teachers has also started. There are age and ability requirements, and there are many applicants. Although, there are also some who lie about their physical condition or even evade recruitment selection. Case."

Creed pointed at Foden: "It is still up to the Whip of Order to conduct the investigation. Those who deliberately evade recruitment must be severely punished publicly!"

Karen said: "I don't recommend this. The recruitment of elderly priests is a systematic and complicated task. We need to carry out necessary screening. After all, we are not forcing all the elderly priests to gather together immediately to go to the battlefield. There are some special positions. The operation of the church cannot be separated from people, and we also need to maintain the normal operation of the church. Once a public crackdown is carried out, it will lead to the other extreme, and the church may be paralyzed."

Creed: "Most of those who evade conscription are high-ranking priests. Not to mention their belief in order, they should not have the nerve to do such a thing just because of the subsidies that the religion has given them in the past. This Ignoring a small group of people and allowing them to continue to exist is disrespectful to those who truly died, and I can't even swallow this breath."

Karen: "It's not that I don't care. I suggest that the Whip of Order conduct a secret investigation first, register them in the register, and then carry out severe liquidation at the appropriate time in the future."

Foden: "I will obey the law."

Creed took the cigar that Alfred had lit, puffed up his cheeks, took a puff, and then slowly spit it out;

His eyes were slightly red, and he rubbed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand:

"I should be considered the most prodigal priest in the history of the religion."

He took another puff, and with the help of the smoke in front of him, he said: "Karen, I will enter the last batch. At that time, you will officially take over as the high priest. I will make it difficult for you. I don't know when I will No matter how much wealth the teacher has left, you just have to work hard to maintain it."

Karen shook his head: "Don't be so irresponsible. Someone should bear the psychological pressure and continue to live strong. You have to live."

Creed: "No need to discuss?"

Karen said firmly: "It's hard for you."

Because Karen himself will eventually go to the battlefield.

By then, the Cult of Kosmos, which already has only an empty shell and is crumbling, will lose two high priests in a short period of time. The situation will really get worse.

Protaras took out another document: "There is one more thing. The newly reestablished Illuminati Cult... the Pope of Illumination has issued an official letter from the church, hoping to conduct an educational visit to our religion."

Creed clenched his hands and slowly released them, saying:

"Reply agree and I will be responsible for the reception."

Karen said: "Should I accept it as the acting high priest?"

Creed: "I don't care, it's already dirty anyway, just keep it clean."

After Karen heard this, she stopped insisting.

After the meeting, Karen and Foden walked out of the office temple side by side.

Foden: "Don't you want to sit at my place?"

Karen: "I want to go back and deal with some things at home."

"Well, okay, then I'll go back to the headquarters first, High Priest."

"Okay, whip bearer."

Foden walked down the steps, his eyes lingered on Karen's carriage for a while, and then got into his own carriage.

After the car door closed, Foden took a deep breath and slowly let it out.

In the past, when the boss was here, he was not so tired when facing the boss. Now facing Karen, he had to overcome his instinctive inner fear and awe while pretending to have the same close relationship as before. It was really painful.

Karen walked into his carriage. The driver was Muri, and the person sitting in the carriage was Neo.

"The Pope came so early?"

"It's okay. Foden came in person at the founding ceremony, which helped me suppress the situation. Although other orthodox religious sects don't understand, they don't dare to attack us now because of the orderly protection we have now. Even we have become much more stable internally.”

Karen said: "When the second phase of the divine war is over, I'm worried that the weakness of the order will not be hidden for too long. By then, your New Light Cult will become dangerous after losing its backer."

"What's the big deal? The worst that can happen is that you will go back and continue to be a remnant. Hey, it's your God of Order. Once the ferocious tiger is found to have lost its claws and fangs, the end will definitely be miserable, right?

Therefore, I think this religious visit is still very important. I have brought many old Guangming priests with me in my delegation, and we can hold several experience exchange meetings at that time. "

"It sounds like you still have some expectations?"

"Hahahahaha! Isn't it? When I think that one day, I can actually call you by that title, I feel an indescribable happiness in my heart."

Karen ignored Neo and picked up the cup and put ice cubes in it.

Neo reached out and pushed Karen's arm, jokingly:

"Hey, talk, my dear remnant of order."
