Chapter 63

With the help of Aunt Mary and Aunt Winnie, today's lunch was very sumptuous.

Of course, since Mrs. Jenny visited with Unis last time, whenever possible, Karun would try to make every meal very good and exquisite.

The three main dishes were Dongpo pork, Su-style sweet and sour pork ribs, and crab meat lion's head;

The three side dishes were stir-fried leek with eggs, boiled silk noodles, and vegetarian chicken.

The three cold dishes were: cucumber salad, cold fungus salad, and drunken shrimp.

Finally, there was a jar of old duck soup.

When Dis came back, Karun rang the bell outside the kitchen.

He felt that he would definitely miss this moment in the future, and when the sound rang, the dynamic scene of the family members popping out from upstairs and downstairs to sit at the dining table.

So, when shaking the bell, Karun closed his eyes, hoping to remember the crisp sound with his heart.

Today, all three employees and three children were at home, so there were more people eating and naturally more dishes prepared.

After all, with the wealth and income of the Inmores family, it is not so easy to eat them out unless the family invests like Uncle Mason in the future.

As expected, the most popular dish on the table was sweet and sour pork ribs. The obsession of the Rui blue people with sweet taste was almost engraved in their bones, and the vegetarian chicken also received good reviews.

What surprised Karun was that the drunken shrimp was very popular, especially Uncle Mason and Ron, who ate happily without any psychological resistance.

"Eat this. Here, one for each person. It's very hard to make and definitely nutritious."

Aunt Mary gave each of the three children a big lion's head.

Dis was still the first one to put down his knife and fork, but this time he sat at the dining table for a while before getting up and saying, "I'm done, you guys take your time."

After he went upstairs, the dining table suddenly became noisy.

"I'll make tea for Grandpa."

This has almost become a habit that the family members are used to. Every time Dis is the first to leave the table, and then Karun, who is responsible for the main course, will also go upstairs after a while.

Karun knocked on Dis's door when he walked to the door.

"Come in."

When Karun walked into Dis's study, he found that Dis was lighting a candle.

Karun sat down on the chair opposite the desk and said, "Grandpa, I also feel that the candle flame has a kind of soul more than the electric light."

Dis looked up at Karun and said, "Oh." Dis pointed up, "The light bulb is broken."

"..." Karun.

"In the afternoon, tell your uncle to change the light bulb."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Dis reached for the teacup;

Karun stood up, picked up the hot water bottle, helped Grandpa pour water, and then sat down again. The hot water bottle in Grandpa's study is refilled with hot water every noon."What's the matter?" Dis asked.

"About last night."

"The circus people ran away. I wrote a report, and the district will help investigate and handle it."

"Grandpa, I'm not talking about the circus, I'm talking about that person."

"Rasma?"

"That's his name?"

"He is a high priest of the Order of the Gods. One of the representatives of the secular system of the Order."

"I see." Karun nodded. "He came to investigate the god summoning ceremony in Bellwin City?"

"No, it's because my belief system has reached a critical point and resonated with the Order Temple. I can no longer hide it, so the temple sent him to check on my situation."

Hearing this, Karun felt comfortable.

It seemed that every time it was like this, Dis rarely said anything to him proactively, but when he asked, Dis never concealed anything.

This feeling was very relaxed. He didn't have to be kept in the dark after something happened, nor did he have to investigate and dig out the so-called "truth" step by step from notebooks or clues left behind after someone in the family had an accident.

"They want me to enter the temple and become an elder, serving the God of Order."

"The God of Order lives in the Order Temple?" Karun asked curiously.

Dis shook his head. "The temple is a special place. Every orthodox church has a similar boundary area, which is the true core area of the church, hiding the true secrets of the church.

This area is called the Order Temple in the Order of the Gods.

It is said that even the remains of the true gods are hidden in the temple."

"Have you seen it, Grandpa?"

"I have seen it twice. One was in the Order Temple. I was able to go in and try it out when I was young."

"What about the second time?" Karun instinctively asked.

There were some things that if you didn't ask, Dis might not bother to say.

"The second time was because of Puerh's relationship, which involved a secret of the Allen family a hundred years ago. You will know about it later."

So, when the Allen family got something a hundred years ago, Puerh destroyed it, right?

"Okay." Karun pursed his lips. "The Order of the Gods plans to invite you to enter the temple and become an elder. Are you planning to refuse, Grandpa?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

Karun nodded.

"Are you done asking?" Dis asked.

"Um."

"I thought you would ask me for the reason for the refusal."

"I understand your pride, and I agree with your choice," Karun said. "If you agree, then I will ask for the reason."

Dis nodded.

Indeed, chatting with his grandson was very comfortable.He regretted not bringing Rasmus over so he could ask him, "Am I right?"

Dis tapped his finger lightly on the edge of the teacup and said, "I can protect all of you and let you continue to live here peacefully. So, I'll ask you one last time, Vein, are you really going?"

"I'm going."

"Hmm."

The grandfather and grandson sat face to face, their conversations were always difficult to prolong because they had many unspoken thoughts that did not require verbal explanations.

But once the conversation lacked small talk, it inevitably became too quiet at certain moments. And sometimes, words that lacked a setup suddenly spoken would be exceptionally awkward and stiff, but the grandfather and grandson could quickly overcome and digest them.

"Grandfather, I think I should ask you seriously again, will you die?"

"No."

"Okay."

Karun's gaze began to wander around, thinking if there was anything else he needed to ask.

Dis silently drank his tea, giving his grandson ample time to think.

After a while, Karun stood up and looked at Dis, "I don't think I have anything else to ask, grandfather."

"Oh."

Karun walked to the door of the study and made a "huh" sound, turning back to smile at Dis, "Grandfather, I just thought of something, time."

"Sometimes not knowing the time can be more comfortable," Dis said.

"But the few days before school starts, the holidays often pass more sweetly."

"A week from now, at this time, you should be able to see the results from where you're standing now."

"Hmm, okay."

"Also, did I write the bookmark for you?"

"I didn't write it," Karun said.

"Hesitant?"

"No, it's just that no matter which one I write, it's hard for me to feel enough pleasure, so I may not write it for now."

"If you don't write it within a week, it won't be effective even if you write it later."

"Mrs. Janney's change in attitude made me realize the value of that bookmark, but strangely, I don't feel regretful about it. Similarly, when I received the bookmark from the Order God, Ankhara, who wrote the names of those gods, I may not have really hated or disliked those gods. It was a way to express love to my daughter and a response to her father's love. In short, it's a story of a loving father and daughter, and those fallen gods are just incidental, not even worthy of being a background."

Dis reminded him, "But the Order God personally threw his guilty daughter into the jaws of a ferocious beast for the sake of the authority of the Order Light."This is a scene from the religious painting "Light of Order." Karun had seen Linda's work at Piajie's house, and there were detailed records of it in the book.

"He had a kind side as a father, doting on his daughter very much. To make his daughter happy, he did not hesitate to use the fall of several gods as a joke for her entertainment;

He also had the majesty of a god. For the sanctity of order, he personally punished his beloved daughter by throwing her into the mouth of a fierce beast.

A loving father and a true god who can eliminate his own humanity for the sake of order.

It must be said that this description really matches the imagination of the believers towards their gods."

Dis laughed and asked, "So, what do you want to say?"

"I want to say that since they can modify the records about the God of Light in the myth, then is this story also deliberately modified?"

"Are you saying that the painting 'Light of Order' is fake?"

"I think it should be real, but sometimes, only telling part of the truth can often have a better effect than lies.

The fierce beast in the painting is really terrifying,

But,

What if,

What if that fierce beast is just a pet raised by the God of Order?

Or,

What if that fierce beast is just another... Puerh?"

Dis fell silent.

Karun closed the door.

After a long time, Dis laughed and said, "Hehe,"

He looked at the neatly arranged desk in front of him.

The laughter gradually began to expand,

In the end, it was almost arrogant and unrestrained.

However, this sound did not leave the study at all.

After laughing for a long time, Dis finally stopped after two coughs.

He took a deep breath and said, "What you said makes sense."

...

After leaving his grandfather's study, Karun habitually sat on the windowsill on the third floor and habitually held Puerh in his arms, putting his hands under its fur to keep warm.

Puerh allowed his recklessness after eating chopped pepper fish head for lunch.

But next, Puerh was placed flat by Karun;

"Um..."

Puerh's tail curled up again. Every time it was in this position, it would use its tail to cover its shame.

"Open your mouth."

Karun reached out and gently opened Puerh's mouth, looked inside, and then let go.

"What are you looking at?" Puerh asked puzzled.

"Just checking if you are deliberately holding something in your mouth."

"Is your brain not working properly today?"

"Dis said, there are still seven days left."

"Seven days?" Puerh turned his head and glanced at the study door. "I am looking forward to it."

"I am not looking forward to it very much," Karun said, "but I can understand."Karun stood up and looked out at the street through the French windows.

Puerh returned to the windowsill and reached out her paw to gently tap the glass:

"The glass may be transparent, but it keeps you from feeling the wind and rain outside."

Karun reached out and flicked Puerh's head:

"I don't need you to feed me fish soup."

"What I mean is, you can open the window and feel the wind outside."

Karun opened the window. It was a windy day in deep winter, and the cold wind blew Karun's hair and messed up Puerh's fur. Both man and cat shivered.

Then Karun closed the window again.

Puerh spoke with a slightly trembling voice:

"You see... after experiencing it... you feel cold... achoo!"

...

"These are his exact words."

In a guest room, Rasma sat on the bed, with three figures wearing black robes reflected on the three walls around him.

"I don't want to allow him to be so reckless anymore." A female voice came from one of the walls. "His heart has clearly deviated from the order."

"But we have no other choice, because it has been a long time since a new elder who comprehends the order has joined the temple. The operation of the temple may soon reach its limit. We need him, that's a fact."

"Yes, and the more embarrassing thing is that the best outcome is to accept his joining, so that the center of the temple can be effectively supplemented, and we can protect the glory of the temple and the order together. The worst outcome is that the center of the temple cannot get fresh blood supplementation, and he has the ability to harm the temple. The temple elders are not appointed by us, but recognized by the center of the temple. When the center of the temple recognizes him, he has already obtained the same authority as us to face the center of the temple. He knows that he alone cannot compete with the entire Order of the Gods, but he has the ability to turn our profit into loss, and the losses are really too great."

"Huh, so why didn't you punish him when he said in front of you that the order is just a mask?" The female elder asked.

"I have said it before, it's because I value his talent. The fact proves that I didn't make a mistake. Rasma, who we have high hopes for and have invested a lot of resources and effort in, is nothing compared to him. He is a complete fool." Rasma sitting on the bed rolled his eyes.

"Then do we really have to wait for him for seven days?" The female elder asked.

"We have to wait."

"We have to wait, and we bet on the 20% chance.""I don't want to wait. Since he wants to be a child playing with blocks, I don't mind being a mother who only wants to spank her child in anger.

If he wants to go crazy, then I will show him what true madness is!"

"Siti, please restrain yourself."

"Siti, everything is focused on the temple."

"Heh, you two are really..."

Lasma obediently sat there, listening to the three elders of the temple arguing.

Then, he suddenly realized that the voices of the three elders disappeared all at once. Lasma immediately looked up and saw that the three elders' figures had all turned to face the east.

"The location of Belwin City is not far from the place where the last super-standard god descent ceremony was held."

"The breath of the super-standard god descent ceremony is still using our Order God Church's god descent rules."

Elder Siti's voice came, "Lasma."

"Here."

"You go to Dis's house now and confirm Dis's location."

"Yes."

Just as Lasma was about to leave, he suddenly heard three exclamations:

"This summoning is the aura of an evil god, a genuine aura of an evil god!"

"I sense the seal of the Great Order God, this evil god is an existence sealed by the Great Order God, and someone is trying to summon it to descend from the depths of the seal!"

"It's Ruiruisa, the wall god of the Wall God Church. It's her aura, someone is trying to guide her to descend!"

And at this moment,

Lasma finally sensed the fluctuation of the strong and strange aura in the distance, but he sensed it much slower than the three elders of the temple.

"Let's go. An existence sealed by the Great Order God cannot be allowed to return again!"

The figure of one elder turned into a stream of light and flew towards the east.

"Is this really an insult to my Order God Church, saying that no one is left?"

The figure of another elder also turned into a stream of light and flew towards the east.

"Lasma, go and confirm if Dis is at home. If he is at home, tell him that we have agreed to his request for negotiations in seven days."

After speaking, the figure of Elder Siti also followed.

Lasma narrowed his eyes. Compared to Dis's matter, Ruiruisa's evil god descent ceremony was more urgent.

Because Ruiruisa was a "true god" or "evil god" personally sealed by the Great Order God, and was the enemy of the Order God Church. If she successfully descended, she would definitely be a disaster for the Order God Church in the future.

If it was an enemy god of another church that descended, the Order God Church might choose to sit back and watch.

Just like when several evil gods sealed by the Light God descended one after another, all the other orthodox major churches tacitly chose to watch the Light God Church fall into a severe turmoil.Over the Bellwin City in the east of Roja City, the clear sky had turned into dark clouds.

From within the dark clouds, the figure of a female giant was faintly visible. She seemed to be trying to break through the seals around her and capture the source of the calling.

However, the source was becoming weaker and weaker, and it was obvious that the God Summoning Ceremony was about to fail.

The female giant let out a reluctant roar. She wanted to try again and hoped that the person she had summoned could hold on a little longer, even though she knew that everything was almost irreversible.

Even more cruelly, three rainbows appeared in the sky, and three huge figures in black god robes emerged from them.

"The dignity of the God of Order cannot be violated!"

"The exiled evil god cannot return!"

"The light of order cannot be desecrated!"

The three figures joined forces and instantly shattered the female giant's figure, causing the dark clouds to dissipate as well. However, the three figures also became dimmer.

"Is it you?"

Siti reached out and grabbed a nearly transparent soul in mid-air.

"It was you who tried to summon the evil god twice with the super-standard God Summoning Ceremony."

Linda's figure appeared in Siti's palm, and she smiled and said, "The dirty order does not deserve to be called the light. I have painted countless religious paintings, and the most disgusting one is the 'Light of Order'."

Siti did not argue, but clenched her fist. Without any surprise, the soul disintegrated and disappeared completely.

...

"Do you still want to come in for tea?"

At the entrance of the Inmores family's house, Dis stood under the eaves and looked at Rasma standing at the gate.

Rasma shook her head and said, "No, Dis. I hate you, and I hate everything related to you. I don't want to step into your house, even one step. I'm afraid it will dirty my shoes and disgust my soul."

Rasma turned around and walked away, saying, "Seven days!"

...

In the living room, Karun held the phone, and Piage's voice came from the other end. He was laughing and said, "Hahaha, I saw it, Karun. I saw Linda's last work, and it was shocking and beautiful. I have never seen such a magnificent painting before. This is art, this is true art!"

"Congratulations," Karun said, "and congratulations to Linda."

Then he started crying, "Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu..."

A big man was crying on the phone.Karun listened quietly to his crying...

After a long while, Piage's tearful voice came through the phone, "Karun, I've lost my lover again, my dear Linda, she's left me again."

Karun spoke into the receiver, "Stop crying. You have to learn to adapt. Don't cry every time; there will be a third, fourth, and even more times in the future."

"Wu...pu...wu...pu...hahaha!" Piage was made to cry and laugh by Karun's words.

After a while, he finally calmed down and said, "Karun, it looks like I have to pay you another psychological counseling fee. 20,000 Lubi, right? I'll give it to you when I get back from Bellwyn."

"Oh, my dear friend, do you know how much prices have gone up recently?"

"So?"

"I need to charge more."

"Oh my god, my friend, you can't be so cruel. I lost my lover, and you're still thinking about making money from me. Don't you feel ashamed to make money like this?"

"Not at all, because my family specializes in the business of dealing with the dead."

"Friend, you make a good point. The argument is so compelling that I don't know how to refute it. But why is the second time more expensive than the first time? Shouldn't regular customers get a discount?"

"Because my family has been in business for so many years, although we have always been conscientious, we have never had a repeat customer until now."

"Uh..."

"So, I need to charge more."

"That doesn't make sense," Piage shouted.

"From a psychological point of view, it does."

"Hmm?"

"Doing the same thing repeatedly can be annoying and boring, which increases my psychological burden and raises the cost of service. When you come to me to cry for the third and fourth times in the future, if there is no incremental service fee, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself from swearing at you. Because I will think that you are deliberately showing off to me, while others are suffering the pain of losing their loved ones, you are constantly enjoying the joy of getting them back."

"Snap!"

There was a crisp sound from the phone, followed by a painful cry. Karun guessed that Piage had hit his own thigh hard.

Then, there was a hurried voice from the phone, "Ha, I'll pay more!"
