Karun walked down the stairs and silently stood beside Younis's two brothers, Chad and Yar, while buttoning up his sleeves.

They didn't seem very smart and their names weren't on the first-level list of the 18 family faith systems. Even their father, Bede, couldn't awaken the Ancestral Bloodline, which made Karun doubt if Anderson had been bribed.

Younis, who hadn't participated in the awakening test, had yet to be confirmed.

Chad and Yar respectfully made room for Karun and he gestured for them to be quiet. Anderson sat there while Mr. Bede talked to the Queen's envoy. They didn't introduce themselves but wanted Karun to listen in.

"The Queen wants to visit the Allen estate tomorrow since it's close by, and she wants to see Mrs. Jenny and Miss Younis, who have returned from their visit. Also, Prince Henry misses Miss Younis."

Karun frowned upon hearing this.

"Sorry, Younis caught a cold after returning and hasn't recovered yet, so she won't be able to meet the Queen tomorrow. But Jenny and Lisa will personally go and serve the Queen."

The envoy was surprised but said, "But the Queen has prepared a gift for Miss Younis."

"Then Jenny will go on behalf of her daughter to thank the Queen for the gift."

"Really? I mean, if Miss Younis isn't that sick..."

"She is, and can't go out or even be exposed to the wind. It's a minor illness, but this season, if she infects the Queen, it'll be a great sin for the Allen family. Please tell the Queen that after Younis recovers, she will personally go to the palace to thank her for her concern."

"Okay, but when the Queen's entourage goes out tomorrow..."

"The Allen family will take care of everything needed for the Queen's entourage, and everything will be arranged before her arrival."

"Okay."

The envoy left.

Everyone in the reception room knew that Younis almost went horse riding with Karun every night, but no one would be foolish enough to reveal that in front of the envoy.

Anderson came over with his cane and stood next to Karun, while Mr. Bede stood on the other side.

"In fact, Younis has nothing to do with Prince Henry, and we haven't promised anything to the royal family. There's no engagement between them."

"Yes, Younis didn't have any engagement or involvement when she went to Rulan with her mother."

"As you know, we wouldn't dare deceive your grandfather. If there were any involvement, we would have confessed when we found out about the purple bookmark.""Yes, we are being honest. Please believe in Yunis' honesty, young master," said Puerh.

"I believe in Yunis," Karun smiled.

After hearing this, both Mr. Anderson and Bede breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. In that moment, they resembled father and son.

"So, the Wein royal family's status is very transcendent?" Karun asked.

"In terms of secular position, it's not as transcendent as before. The royal family's power is also restricted," said Bede.

"On the religious level, all parties continue to let the Gloria family hold the imperial power, becoming the nominal co-rulers of the Wein Empire and its affiliated countries and colonies," added Mr. Anderson.

"Okay, I understand," Karun nodded.

"Please rest assured, this kind of thing won't become your problem," Mr. Anderson assured him.

"I believe you, Mr. Anderson."

Without further communication, Karun walked up the stairs and returned to the third floor.

He didn't choose to enter the study again, but returned to his own bedroom.

The golden retriever was lying on the sofa inside the room, and Puerh was sitting on the windowsill, dipping her cat paw in ink and drawing something.

"What are you drawing?" Karun asked as he walked over.

"I'm drawing the method to help Mike with his physical problems. But you can't understand it now. You'll be able to understand it after your purification ceremony is completed," Puerh replied.

"Mike's talent is still good, even though he lost his legs... Actually, the abilities of our Allen family's belief system are not strongly related to whether or not all four limbs are intact, unlike those belief systems that require petrification or transformation into beasts. Otherwise, I wouldn't have liked to turn into a cat and run around everywhere."

"I haven't seen your family's abilities," Karun said.

"Then call Mr. Anderson's little thing to perform for you."

"The Queen's envoy just arrived."

"Oh," Puerh shrugged.

"There's a Prince Henry who seems to be very interested in Yunis."

"Oh, my God, it's such an incredibly cliché plot, but I believe Mr. Anderson can handle it unless he ate a whole car of canned sardines last night."

"That's what he said."

"Well, that's good. But you can also rest assured that even if the Allen family falls, they won't be foolish enough to completely ally themselves with the royal family. Because the Gloria family, the Wein royal family, is the greediest and most eclectic of all the families in Wein that have belief systems. There's a famous painting called 'The Decadence of the Royal Family,' have you heard of it?"

"I've seen it in a picture book." The previous Karun's memory had this painting, but it was definitely not the real thing.

"Ordinary people think that the painting depicts the extravagant life of the royal family and the chaotic relationships between close relatives. You know, the relationship between a father-in-law and daughter-in-law is considered normal in the royal family, after all, they don't have a blood relationship. But in reality, this painting satirizes the Wein royal family's efforts to enrich and cultivate their own belief system. They not only desperately seek to marry and absorb other families' belief systems, but also enthusiastically experiment with suitable systems within their own family."They only care about whether the system is suitable and the stage of the system, and also whether the man still has the ability to sow and the woman still has the ability to conceive.

As for ethics and morality, they completely disregard them.

So, the difference between joining the Wein Royal Family and being annexed by the Raphael Family is whether the Allen Family will live in a pigsty made of gold or a pigsty surrounded by mud walls in the future."

"I understand."

"So, my dear Karun, you have to hurry. We must complete the basic stage as quickly as possible and strive to promote you to the level of a judge as soon as possible."

"Is the Order of the Gods so easy to fool?" Karun asked, "I mean, if we create a fake identity."

"Do you think all judges are as serious and responsible as Dis? Do you think everyone in the Order of the Gods is upright?

Those who manage order will be the first to be corroded.

Don't worry, it's not as difficult as you think.

The most important thing is that Dis must have given a warning before he fell asleep. I believe that the Order of the Gods in Rulian won't even dare to stare at Mingke Street No. 13, at most just a quick glance when passing by.

As for tracking every person in the family, haha, you underestimate the deterrent power of Dis who spent a divine essence to blow up the Order of the Gods Temple, and you underestimate the pressure Dis puts on the Order of the Gods by sleeping there.

They dare not contact your family or investigate you. Moreover, the matter of Dis must be an internal secret of the Order of the Gods and will not spread to Wein.

You are free in Wein. Once we arrange an identity for you, you can walk the path of the Order of the Gods with your head held high.

Worst case scenario, even if your identity is exposed after you have grown up, it won't be a problem, it will just go against Dis's wishes, but it won't be dangerous for you.

As the only bloodline heir of Dis who has condensed three divine essence fragments, the Order of the Gods Temple will treat you like a treasure, with much better treatment than that of Rasma, a genius back then."

"Okay."

"We need to hurry." Puerh said seriously, "I am doing this for my weak family now, but you are also doing this for Dis. The three of us, or rather, the three of us including Dis, have the same goal."

"Yes." Karun smiled at Puerh, "I'm going to ride a horse now."

"Go ahead, you fool. Come on, let's go check if the renovated theater meets the standards."

The golden retriever jumped off the sofa, and Puerh jumped onto its back. The paw with remaining ink wiped on the golden retriever's fur:

"Let's go, stupid dog!"

"Woof!"

...

Karun went downstairs, and Alfred and Borg were already waiting there with their horses.

It was two hours earlier than the time he usually agreed with Unis.

"Master, perhaps we can choose to go at night?" Alfred suggested.

"What's the difference between day and night?" Karun mounted his own white horse.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

"It seems, that's true." Alfred just remembered that they had to keep it a secret from the black cat, who slept by the young master's feet at night.

Borg did not mount a horse and just stood there.Karun turned around and said, "Let's do it together."

"Yes, young master." Boge smiled and mounted his horse.

In fact, since coming to the Allen family, Karun had few people he could trust. This didn't mean that the Allen family was untrustworthy, but they, like Puerh, put their family first. They were united with Karun now because their growth and the development of their families were aligned.

Boge was different. He always had a sunny smile, but he had no feelings for the Allen family. As he grew up, his hatred for the family only grew.

The three of them rode their horses to the cemetery and stopped. Karun dismounted.

"Young master, which one should we use for the experiment?" Alfred asked.

"I don't know."

Boge was curious and followed behind the two. Doing experiments here?

Karun originally wanted to try to awaken the Count Lekar's memory because he left a deep impression on him. Especially today, the Queen's envoy expressed Prince Henry's interest in Unis. Shouldn't he awaken a pirate leader who treated Queen Gloria as a lover at will as a "return gift"?

"Boge, is the ancestor buried here too?" Karun asked.

"Yes, young master. When Mr. Alfred asked me to investigate the burial details of the cemetery, I did a re-recognition of the tombstones of the Allen family's ancestors buried here. The ancestor's location is here."

Boge pointed to the black stone in the central area of the cemetery.

"This?" Karun squatted in front of the black stone.

The stone was short and even after years of wind and rain, it looked a bit round. If it were placed in a public area, it would probably be used as a resting bench by tourists. Count Lekar's pirate ship tombstone was next to it, and its shape was exaggerated, completely surpassing the ancestor's tombstone. This Count Lekar was really arrogant, even disregarding nobility.

Karun looked up at the sky, then at the castle in the distance, and signaled to Alfred.

Alfred understood and, while his eyes turned red, took out a stack of cards and threw them out.

Mr. Hofin gave Karun many books, including a series of forbidden spells and a large set of basic formations of various churches. Karun couldn't learn to use them since he hadn't been purified yet, but Alfred had been learning seriously since they were on the road. Unlike Puerh, he had no burden or concern for his family, and he was single-minded about learning magic. So his goals were clear, and his subjective initiative to learn was strong.

"Abyss - Primary Barrier!"

A faint black light spread out from Alfred, enveloping the cemetery.

Karun continued to search for a suitable target among these tombstones, but he couldn't find one. However, he smiled to himself and thought, why bother thinking so much? He was just here to experiment because he didn't know if he could awaken a strong person who had a belief system in their lifetime and possessed spirituality. Karun stood up straight, closed his eyes, and spread his hands. Seeing this, Boge involuntarily stepped back and didn't dare to disturb him.Wake up...wake up...wake up...

Karun silently repeated to himself.

At first, there was no effect;

Karun didn't rush, but continued to calm himself down and try to reach an inner perception with the surrounding environment.

It was as if he was not standing in a cemetery, but lying on a bed in his bedroom.

Wake up...wake up...wake up...

Borg suddenly opened his eyes and saw a black chain appearing under his young master's feet, slowly rotating around him.

Alfred also noticed this scene, a smile appearing on his lips: this is a good start!

He had always believed that the young master's mystery was unmatched by that evil god. Otherwise, why was it the young master who awakened and the evil god was reduced to a dog?

Wake up...wake up...wake up...

Karun continued to summon, and the black chain continued to spin under his feet, but without a specific target.

At this moment, Karun slowly opened his eyes, lowered his head, and saw the black shadow under his feet. Perhaps, after he completed the purification, this ability could be better displayed?

He raised his hand and pointed to an ordinary tombstone nearby.

Whether it was the ancestor's or Lecarl's, Karun still didn't dare to touch it.

The black chain on the ground seemed to be guided, slowly extending toward the tombstone.

However, Karun felt a slight shock in his head, and the black chain was bounced back.

"Ahem..."

Karun let out a muffled groan, stabilizing his body.

This won't work!

However, Karun did not intend to give up. He reached out again and pointed to another ordinary tombstone. The black chain extended again, but like last time, it was bounced back after touching it.

"Hiss..."

This shock really hurt Karun's chest, causing him to subconsciously cover it with his hand.

Borg wanted to come forward to help, but was stopped by Alfred's gaze.

Karun kept taking deep breaths. Being bounced back twice meant that he did not have the qualifications to touch the spiritual corpse; but he had a hunch that it was not because the "door" was locked, the door was not locked for him; the reason why he couldn't open it twice was because he couldn't find the door handle, he couldn't find a point of force.

Karun had a hunch that he would be able to open the door after he completed the purification.

So, let's end today's experiment here.

The black chain began to retract and was about to enter Karun's feet, but at this moment, a mutation occurred. There seemed to be an inexplicable force that forcibly grabbed the chain that was being retracted, and pulled it directly towards the pirate ship tombstone!

"Buzz!"

Karun felt a heavy blow to the back of his head, and his consciousness became blurred.

...

After a brief moment of extreme dizziness, Karun slowly opened his eyes. He heard the sound of the sea waves, and everything around him was swaying.

Karun originally thought it was because his consciousness had not stabilized, but gradually realized that he was standing on a large ship at this moment.Around him, there were constant shouts and cries from the sailors. Some were drinking, some were fighting, and some were gambling. The noisy waves of sound rose and fell one after another.

Karun slowly stood up.

As soon as he was fully upright, the noise around him seemed to be cut off all at once. In front of Karun, there was a platform with a huge silver steering wheel on it.

Under the steering wheel was a chair, and a middle-aged man wearing a pirate costume and an eyepatch was sitting there, with a noble woman dressed in luxurious clothes and wearing a crown sitting on his lap.

His hand was rubbing the woman's clothes, and the noble woman just leaned against his chest, letting him do as he pleased.

"Lei...Lei Kael Viscount!"

At this moment, the man's voice rang out, as if even the waves were quiet when he spoke:

"Who are you?

Answer me honestly. The sea can tell me if your answer is true or not.

The price of deceiving me is that your soul will be swallowed by the sea, and you will be cursed by the sea no matter where you are."

The man's voice seemed to carry an unquestionable sense of oppression.

Karun looked at the man in front of him and pursed his lips.

"I am the operator of the Allen family? Am I the savior of the Allen family?"

Karun directly denied these two answers in his heart.

Because these two answers were definitely true, true enough that his soul would still be swallowed by the sea.

Finally, Karun answered:

"I am...the son-in-law of the Allen family."
