"Ellen's... son-in-law?"

Count Lecar pushed the queen sitting on his lap aside, stood up, and looked directly at Karun standing below.

When he looked at you, it was as if you were standing by the sea, marveling at its boundlessness, while the sea silently mocked your insignificance.

"The sea told me that you were not lying."

Karun tried to make himself appear calm and nodded.

He did not lie, but selective truth-telling could yield vastly different results.

This was a domineering existence to the core, and his personality seemed to hang onto the main branch called arrogance with a few other embellishments.

He had deliberately avoided the ancestor and his tombstone before, but he had actually pulled himself in.

Even the corpse in the tomb was arrogant after death!

"This year is..."

Count Lecar suddenly choked on his words, his eyebrows furrowed as if he had entered a state of contemplation.

"Hiss..."

At the same time, Karun's forehead began to ache as if someone was pulling his brain.

"I just recently destroyed the pirate alliance of the Pruss Sea and sank three Merlowen family faith level eight as sacrifices to the sea. I should have just returned to port;

The queen received my letter three days ago and had already washed herself clean and put on her most precious dress and the crown symbolizing the Vine royal power at the port, waiting for my favor!

I also gave her the Merlowen family's purple soul crystal as a gift to be embedded in the crown after she returned.

This is our pirate tradition. We never owe prostitutes money.

Because they are our greatest belief in keeping courage and returning alive in the face of storms and enemies.

But...

It doesn't seem right,

Why do I feel like this scene has already happened, not just happened?

Right,

I remember now,

After that,

I seemed to have experienced the Marshall Island naval battle and the Battle of Dicknon Strait...

No,

I even saw further..."

"Hiss..."

As Count Lecar continued to reminisce, Karun felt his brain ache more and more, as if a tube was inserted into his brain, sucking his brain fluid.

"... In the third Changqin Sea battle, I defeated the Westdland coalition, killed their coalition commander with my own hands. But my own brother Bowen, my most trusted five subordinates, all died in battle.

I myself was also seriously injured.

I seem to have grown tired of the pirate life, I went ashore, and I returned to the Ellen Manor.

I lay on the bed,

Looking at the autumn outside the window.

I suddenly realized,

I was not tired of the sea, because I had already left the best years and memories of my life to the sea."

Count Lecar's gaze froze,

Said:

"I am already dead!!!"

"Ah..."

Karun was already kneeling on the ground, holding his head.

The pain had changed from a tube sucking his brain fluid to an axe splitting his forehead.

In the next moment,

All the sailors frolicking on the ship disappeared, and Gloria III, who had been pushed away earlier, also disappeared.

On the entire ship, only Count Lecar standing on it and Karun kneeling on the ground remained.What made Karun breathe a sigh of relief was that although his head still hurt, the process of progressive pain had ended.

Supporting himself with his right hand on the deck, Karun tried to stand up but found that he couldn't even keep his balance. After trying several times, he still couldn't stand up.

But soon, Karun felt someone grabbing his shoulder and lifting him up with both hands.

Count Lekar, came up to him.

"I'm already dead."

"Well..." Karun nodded.

"Under the premise that I'm already dead, you can still see me. So, you're a member of the Order of the Gods?"

"You are a member of the Order of the Gods. Only the Order of the Gods has the ability to 'resurrect' the dead, not by controlling corpses, but by 'resurrecting' them."

No...

No...

Before I died, my family's faith was at level eight, and I had briefly broken through to level nine.

I know that members of the Order of the Gods do have the ability to 'resurrect' corpses, but for corpses with spirituality, the cost of 'resurrecting' them is very high. And for corpses with a pre-existing belief system, the difficulty and cost of 'resurrecting' them are even greater.

I once joked with the chief bishop of the Order of the Gods in York City and asked him if he could 'resurrect' me if I died one day. He said that even if he paid the price of his life, he could not 'awaken' me because my faith was too high. Perhaps only the archbishop of the Wein region would have the ability to 'resurrect' me, but only at a great cost."

Above the level of a judge is an arbiter; above an arbiter is a magistrate; above a magistrate is the chief bishop of a region.

In a small country like Rulan, there is only one region called the Rulan region, and the first speaker of the Rulan region is the chief bishop.

The level of Wein Empire is not comparable to that of Rulan, after all, Rulan is only a vassal state of Wein.

Therefore, the level of York City, the capital of Wein, is directly equivalent to that of the Rulan region. The chief bishop of York City is also equivalent to the chief bishop of the Rulan region within the internal system of the Order of the Gods, and even slightly higher.

The archbishop of the Wein region is completely above the Rulan region.

This level of the archbishop is the same as that of the archbishop, and they enter the top decision-making circle of the Order of the Gods. They sit around a big round table and can make suggestions and plans for the development of the Order of the Gods. As the high priest, Lasma is the host of the round table conference.

In addition, the high priest is just a position, and the actual level is the same as that of the archbishop.

In other words, when the chief bishop of York City predicted to Lekar that the archbishop of the Wein region had the qualifications to 'resurrect' him, as long as he advanced one more level, the next step was actually to follow in the footsteps of Lasma and compete for the qualification to enter the Order of the Gods.

"Hahahahaha..."

Lekar suddenly burst into laughter, letting go of Karun's hand and even showing a little respect.

"So, after I died, has my Allen family grown to the point where we can marry the Archbishop?"

"..." Karun.

Lekar appeared very excited, even starting to dance, and no longer had the cold and disdainful attitude he had when he was holding the queen on the ship. At this moment, he was as happy as a child.Watching this scene, Karun suddenly understood something. That is the "family", a spiritual bond formed by people in this era and cultural background. Even if he is already dead, he still feels joy from the knowledge that his family is still growing and prospering. Because "family" is their honor, survival, totem, and an inseparable part of their lives, it is the carrier of their life and existence. This is something that Karun has never really understood before. His previous understanding was only superficial and formal.

Because the family atmosphere and soil in which he lived in his previous life had long since disappeared, he had never lived in a similar family cultural atmosphere. Even if there were some places that still retained it, the core had already faded away, leaving only the form.

When he first woke up in this life, the Inmorales family was actually similar to Karun's "small family" in his previous life and not a family. Karun's perception of the beauty of the Inmorales family can be perfectly inherited from the perspective of his previous life.

Therefore, even though Puerh has been a cat for so many years, she still misses her family. That day, holding Puerh on top of Aseroth's head, Puerh's fragility was not simply homesickness, but a "family plot", returning to the other half of her life.

This is a profound sentiment that you can never truly understand unless you have really experienced and entered it. People like Puerh and Rekall actually have a weak concept of "nationality" and "country". Under this trade-off, there are some emotional bonds belonging to "nationality" and "country" in the concept of "family".

Karun understood why the black cat became so dedicated and excited after returning home, even making him feel that it was a bit too much, like being installed with a small electric motor, busy all day long; because of the difference in the "cultural circle" of the two parties, in his opinion, Puerh is busy for the benefit of her own family, but the black cat riding on the golden retriever is actually "saving the country and preserving the nation".

Karun felt that his mind had emptied, and the boundary between reality and virtuality began to become clear. But at the same time, he could also feel that Count Rekall had the ability to "imprison" him here. Just like before, "he" actively dragged himself in, he should now be in the spiritual world preserved in Count Rekall's body. Mandira's reminder was correct.

The biggest difference between the "awakening" of the Order of the Gods and the manipulation of corpses by the witchcraft and evil spirits is that "awakening" truly allows the dead to retain their memories and wake up, and the dead naturally have greater freedom attributes, although the cost of this "freedom" is that after a period of time, the spirituality evaporates completely and becomes pure flesh.

In addition, his ability is indeed special, but his strength is not strong enough, and he does not have the ability to resist risks in the aspect of "awakening" corpses. Count Rekall can easily strangle his soul here, as long as he is willing.So, the idea of ​​finding the body of the big shot and digging it up to summon it, which he had previously conceived with Alfred, was very beautiful, but it was indeed a real act of seeking death.

Fortunately... he was the son-in-law of the Allen family.

"I haven't fully awakened..." Count Regal seemed to have recovered from his excitement and looked at Karun calmly. "Can I fully awaken now? I think I can try."

"No... no need." Karun immediately spoke up to stop him.

The awakening of Count Regal's consciousness and memory had already made him feel unbearable. Karun could hardly imagine what would happen to him if he tried to fully awaken.

However, there is another possibility that after his spiritual consciousness awakens, he can spontaneously complete the awakening of the "corpse."

But Karun didn't dare to bet. After all, it was not time to gamble yet.

The reason why he secretly came to the Allen family cemetery to experiment was to quickly find external support for the current destitute Allen family, at least to make the Allen family have self-protection capabilities, so as not to face the fate of being thrown into the pigsty as soon as they woke up.

He kept it secret from the Anderson family, first because Karun was just trying it out. If the experiment failed secretly, it wouldn't matter; second, if it succeeded, this was his special trump card. He didn't want to reveal it too early, especially when he was still weak.

Although Karun also knew that if he told the Anderson family that he had this ability, Anderson would probably be the first to come over with a shovel to help him dig up his ancestors. With so many ancestors, he could choose anyone he wanted.

Because once the Allen family completely collapsed, not only would the surviving members of the family have a very miserable fate, but the bodies of these ancestors buried in the manor's territory would definitely not be preserved. Spiritual corpses are already relatively precious materials.

For the survival of the Allen family, Anderson can even give the position of patriarch to an outsider like Karun, let alone the bodies of ancestors.

"No need... then should I continue to sleep? I can feel that my spirituality is slowly losing when I talk to you." Count Regal said, "Why did you wake me up?"

As a certified "son-in-law of the Allen family" by the sea, Count Regal had no malice towards Karun, and his "brainstorming" about Karun led to the use of honorifics when speaking.

"There may be a big event in the Allen family soon. Due to the reasons of the Order of the Gods, I cannot take action, but I can awaken you to witness it."

Karun didn't know if the "Sea" still had the function of detecting lies in its current state, but he still carefully and cautiously told the "truth."

"That must be a great event for the Allen family. I really thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving a dead person a chance to rise up and see the current strong family!" Karun squeezed out a smile.

Strong family... does it refer to that family with only three third-levels, one of whom is disabled?

Karun even worried that if one day Count Regal really woke up and found that the Allen family had become like this, would his pride choose to kill these embarrassing descendants of the family clean to avoid tarnishing the family's reputation?

Of course, he, an outsider sitting in the patriarch's position, would probably become a symbol of shame and become his first target to kill."I'll go first..." Karun said.

Raikar showed great respect and said, "Thank you for coming."

The last bit of restraint, or "detention," was released; Karun's body rose up, and the pirate ship beneath him became smaller and smaller.

Suddenly, Karun had an idea in his mind: if he only lived in his dreams after he died, then death seemed like a good destination. But how many people could have the powerful spirit of Raikar, who could maintain his body's spirituality even after death?

Finally, Karun opened his eyes.

"Young master?"

"Young master!"

Alfred and Borg's voices came from his ears, and Karun found himself kneeling in front of the pirate ship tombstone, blood flowing from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and his face was sticky. There was even a pool of blood on the ground that kept dripping.

In his mind, he heard a sentence he read in the book "Light of Order":

The God of Order once awakened twelve strong men to become the twelve Order Knights guarding him.

Then, Karun completely passed out.

...

Mrs. Lisa put Karun's hand back under the covers and said to the family standing beside her, "Young master Karun should have suffered from mental exhaustion, which caused him to faint due to severe overdraft. He should be fine after some rest, but..."

"But what, Lisa?" Mr. Anderson asked.

His family also had a belief system, but it was a very small family, and their belief system was in the medical profession.

"Now, young master Karun is still young, and his body and mind can handle it, but he cannot overdraw frequently, otherwise it will leave irreversible damage."

"Oh, I see."

Mr. Anderson breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Borg and asked, "What did young master Karun do to cause mental exhaustion?"

Borg shook his head and said, "Without the young master's permission, I won't reveal anything about the young master."

Mr. Anderson immediately bit his back teeth, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he reached out and touched Borg's head, saying, "Very good, you did a good job, that's how it should be. Everyone, please leave and let the young master rest well. After a good night's sleep, he will wake up."

...

"What did Karun do, why did this happen!" Puerh looked at Alfred and asked, "What did you guys do without telling me?"

Alfred looked at Puerh and replied, "The young master practiced the formation in Mr. Hofen's notes."

"He's crazy! He hasn't been purified yet, how could he withstand the consumption of the formation? This could drain him completely!"

"Isn't it because a certain cat has been pressuring him these days, constantly urging and chattering?"

"..." Puerh.

Alfred turned and left.

Puerh silently walked into the study, jumped onto the windowsill, and slowly lay down, looking at Karun lying on the bed.

This posture was maintained for a long time, until it was completely dark outside.

Golden Retriever Kevin walked into the bedroom at this time, and he was stunned because he saw two Puerh on the windowsill.

One Puerh wore a top hat and a pearl necklace around her neck. She was delicate and elegant, with an arrogant posture, sitting straight on the windowsill.

The other Puerh looked extremely lazy, as if she was lying on the windowsill, sleeping and basking in the "moonlight." The cool moonlight fell on her, presenting a softer color.The golden retriever lowered his head and rubbed his dog eyes with his paws. When he looked up, he found only Puerh standing up on the windowsill.

Meanwhile, Karun had already woken up.

"Woof!"

The golden retriever barked excitedly and came up to lick Karun's hand.

Puerh came from the windowsill to the bed, stepped on Karun's blanket lightly, and finally stood on Karun's chest, looking at his face.

"How long have I been sleeping?" Karun asked.

Puerh didn't answer but silently crouched on Karun's chest.

"How long have I been sleeping?"

Puerh still didn't speak.

Karun reached out and rubbed Puerh's head, and Puerh stretched out his paw to gently push it away.

"What's wrong with you?" Karun asked.

"Karun..."

"Hmm?"

"Leave the estate, preferably with Unis. She should be willing to follow you; the radio fairy can take care of you; oh, and bring this stupid dog too."

"What about you?"

"I...I don't know." Puerh lay down on his side, tail raised, and hugged himself with his paws. "Every time I go into that study and look at those portraits, I can't help myself."

"I understand. After all, this is your home."

"But 13 Mingke Street is also my home. I've lived there even longer than here."

Puerh lay on Karun's chest with his limbs spread out like a cat:

"Let's go. It's most important to live an easy and carefree life, isn't it? This is also what Dis wants. He hopes you can always be happy and free."

Karun reached out and gently rubbed Puerh's belly.

"Itchy, meow..."

Puerh hugged Karun's hand with both paws, curling up his whole body. He looked like a furry little creature hanging from Karun's arm.

"But Dis also said something to me."

"What did he say?"

"He asked me to take good care of you."
