"Now I declare that the first meeting of the Spades A organization has been successfully concluded."
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Alfred, as the chairman of the meeting, stood up and applauded enthusiastically.
However, although Puerh and the Golden Retriever were clapping their paws in cooperation, they couldn't make any sound. In addition, Karun only drummed a few times symbolically, making the atmosphere of the meeting a bit fragmented.
But these were all minor details. Alfred believed that this scene would be emphasized in the mural in the future.
Next, Alfred, who had formulated the plan, called Bog and asked him to run errands for the results and projects discussed in the meeting, although he did not have the qualifications to participate in the meeting.
There was no other choice. Alfred also had to bear the responsibility of the young master's security. The other two, a cat and a dog, were not suitable as messengers, and the dog couldn't even speak.
Not long after, the busy Anderson came to the study with Mike and Mr. Bede. Karun did not tell them about the royal family's plan to take action against the Allen estate. He just reminded them to communicate with him about the funeral process when the date of Prince Henry's funeral was confirmed. In addition, they needed to strengthen their communication with the royal family, that is, the queen;
After all, she had just lost her beloved grandson... well, maybe it was her grandson, who knew.
Anderson nodded in agreement, as this was an agreement between the Allen family and the royal family, and he would have done so without Karun's instructions.
At night, Karun, who had taken a bath, lay in bed with Puerh's plan to help Mike solve his physical problems in his hand.
To be honest, Karun couldn't fully understand it, but it didn't affect his interest in it.
The family's belief system, awakened by bloodlines, was completely different from the church belief system that originated from true gods and rules.
However, after being introduced into the body, there were some similarities in the way they operated.
But in Puerh's drawings, the operation of the human body and elements was somewhat mystical. Karun couldn't understand it completely before he was purified. Now, he could follow the drawing and make simple gestures with his hands.
At this stage, treating Mike was a shortcut to increase their own combat power, but they couldn't rush it. Karun had just graduated as a doctor, and there was still a training period below.
On the windowsill, Puerh and the Golden Retriever were facing each other, flipping through the pages.
"Meow?"
"Woof!"
"Meow?"
"Woof!"
They were choosing the spell that Karun would start practicing tomorrow.

The Order of the Gods is a large religion. Its current development level and scale are very different from the early days when the God of Order was established. It has expanded and extended many branches.
From the "shepherd" to the "judge" and then to the main branch, it is just one of the main branches.In the church, there are many other promotion routes, and even many systems that originally belonged to other religions have been improved.
There are really too many "spells".
To completely practice them is like memorizing a whole set of textbooks. At this time, an experienced teacher is needed to customize the key knowledge according to Karun's situation.
Fortunately, Teacher Cat has been in the Inmolei's family for nearly a hundred years and is very familiar with the system of the Order Church.
As for Teacher Dog, according to Puerh's guess, since this guy can be summoned by the Order Church's super-standard ceremony, he was probably a suppressed existence by the God of Order back then. Even if it was not the God of Order himself, at least it was suppressed and sealed by the high-level of the Order Church.
Teacher Cat is familiar with the routine and has witnessed Dis's practice process, while Teacher Dog has been beaten before. When it comes to highlighting the key points, they can definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
As for Alfred, he is sitting there studying Hoffen's notes with great concentration. His understanding of basic formations has improved rapidly recently, thanks to Teacher Dog. In addition, his "Enchanting Demon Eye" has a great advantage in learning, otherwise, the Archbishop Rasma would not have wanted his eyes. As the Archbishop, Rasma doesn't lack ordinary treasures.
What Alfred is doing now is to thoroughly understand a basic blessing formation in the Order Church, called [Order - Primary Rendering]. This formation itself does not have any attack or defense power, but it can enhance the effectiveness of same-attribute spells and formations within the formation range, in short, it is a buff and pressure relief.
Because Karun overdrafted his energy when he tried to awaken Count Lecar after the last incident, Alfred believes that this formation can help him reduce his pressure.
Although he doesn't know whether the black chains under the young master's feet at that time belong to "formations" or "spells", and the young master probably doesn't know either, it doesn't matter, they can all use it.
People, cats, and dogs are all busy, while Karun puts down his notebook, turns around, and turns off his bedside lamp.
Feeling that the young master is about to fall asleep, the quarrel between the cat and dog on the windowsill suddenly decreased, and Alfred also reduced the sound of turning pages.
Karun closed his eyes, feeling like he was living in a university dormitory in his previous life.
But according to the actual situation, it's like several excellent teachers are staying up late to prepare lessons for this elementary school student.
Anyway, it didn't take long before Karun fell asleep.
...
In the morning, it was a rare sunny day, and the morning breeze still carried a clear chill.
Borg prepared the cushion early, and Karun sat down.Surrounded by lush green grass, it was rare to see such a sight in winter. The Allen family had built their castle here after much consideration, and the current greenery was also a symbol of the family's heritage.
But after the family's downfall, these things easily became their original sin.
Puerh sat on the back of a golden retriever, wearing a red wind cap on her head.
Karun took a sandwich from Borg's hand and ate it. After yesterday's experience, he didn't allow himself to eat breakfast calmly for a short time.
Even the matter of asking Old Anderson to set up a small kitchen for himself on the third floor had to be postponed.
Sometimes, one couldn't help but feel that only after leaving Dis did they realize that the happiness of preparing meals for one's family in peace was also so luxurious.
"Borg."
"Yes, young master."
"You show your ability first."
"Okay, young master."
Karun wanted to see the presentation of the Allen family's belief system power. Borg was undoubtedly the best candidate.
Borg walked to the center, closed his eyes, and then opened them. A bright fire appeared in his left eye, and then two fireballs appeared in the position of his open hands.
Puerh, who was blowing the wind and looking at the scenery, immediately froze when her gaze fell on Borg.
"What about the attack power?" Karun asked.
Borg threw the fireball, and after leaving his body for five meters, the fireball burst open and turned into sparks.
Karun chewed on the sandwich and thought to himself: The actual combat effect is not very good.
Perhaps the flashy ability could bring some psychological pressure to the enemy, but the actual power and effect were really not comparable to a rifle.
"Young master, this is what the first level of the family's belief system looks like. It just proves that I have awakened my bloodline and have the ability to use bloodline power. I have seen the ability of second level people in the family. They can ignite fireballs from afar, create mist and freeze things."
"Oh." Karun nodded. So if you really want to fight, at least you need to be at the second level.
First level can only be a cheerleader. But the problem is, if there are not enough first levels, you can't cultivate and develop more second and third levels.
"What about the third level?" Karun asked.
Borg replied, "I have heard from other people in the family that at the third level, you can condense and cover the power of fire or water attributes on your body, increase your defense while also enhancing your physical qualities in that state, such as speed and reaction."
Karun nodded. In this way, the third level is considered a "master" in his own perception.
It's no wonder Puerh said that the third level of the Allen family's belief system is similar to Alfred. After all, the first level is like indoor magic, and the second level is like outdoor magic. Only at the third level, after mastering the power of attributes, can you really use it to fight.Puerh narrowed her cat-like eyes, staring at Borg.
"Okay, you can rest now," Karun said.
But Borg didn't come down. Instead, he licked his lips and said to Karun, "Young master, I have a secret."
Upon hearing this, Puerh's gaze softened.
"Oh?"
Borg closed his eyes again. When he opened them, his right eye had a faint blue glow, like the shimmer of water.
Then, two water balls appeared in his palm and he threw them out.
"Snap!"
The two water balls landed and dispersed.
"Water and fire both?" Karun looked at Borg in surprise.
Karun knew how difficult it was to achieve this. After all, Mike had lost both his legs in pursuit of the dual attribute.
The portrait of the ancestor Allen had always hung in the study, urging future generations of the family to pursue this dual attribute in their bodies, which had led to a generation of geniuses losing limbs and becoming disabled.
But this young man before him had both attributes at the first level.
He was a genius, a true genius of the Allen family!
Considering that Judy was born into the royal family and had access to different resources, even though her family relationships were very complicated, the young man before him had grown up in a brothel.
So, even though Judy was younger and at the third level, they were essentially geniuses of the same level. Most importantly, Borg's future was more imaginable and broader than Judy's.
Karun subconsciously rubbed his chin.
Could it be that the ancestor Allen had sensed that his descendants had fallen so far that he began to burst forth with genius?
Or perhaps, even though the ancestor Allen had long since died, this bloodline that had been passed down could be considered a living organism. After all, even bacteria could be seen as a "community" and observed and defined by their development model. Why couldn't bloodlines be the same?
This bloodline had sensed the danger of its own complete decline, so it awakened a genius in this generation to save itself.
This self-saving method was really ridiculous.
One awakened in the Gloria family, and the other awakened in a brothel.
Thinking of this, Karun turned his head and looked at the distant castle, lost in thought.
Maybe he was being narrow-minded?
The bloodline only wanted to preserve its existence, but it didn't have a sense of belonging to the Allen estate.
In an extension, was the relationship between rules, the church, and the true gods the same?
It seemed like they were living in symbiosis, but in reality, they were all operating according to their own set of basic laws. In the eyes of outsiders, their relationship was actually that of the most familiar strangers.Bogben intended to wait for Karun to ask questions, but seeing Karun suddenly looking towards the distance without any intention of continuing the conversation, he could only kneel down in front of Karun and proactively said, "Young master, the Allen family doesn't know that I still possess the ability of water attribute." He had concealed it from the Allen family, and he could have hidden it from Karun as well, but he chose to reveal this secret. After all, sharing secrets was the most direct way to get closer and integrate into a group.
Puerh turned her face and silently pursed her lips towards the empty air in front of her.
Karun finished his thoughts and nodded to Bogben, "I know."
Bogben showed a smile on his face, stood up, retreated to the edge, then led his horse and went to a farther location to stop.
"He's a genius," Puerh commented.
It didn't say much more, after all, from the meeting results yesterday, it felt that it had actually been caught up by the radio fairy and squeezed to the front, even though it had arrived first!
Human cognition requires a process. After experiencing the "excitement" of just returning home, Puerh clearly realized a new crisis, that is, the fading of emotions.
"Can you teach him?" Karun asked Puerh.
"I can. I will try to train him as much as possible and let the radio fairy help me convey the message. When you think it's time, you can bring him into the Spades A and I will be able to talk to him then."
"Okay." Karun nodded, wiped his mouth and hands with a handkerchief, stood up, and walked to the center.
The golden retriever then handed over a notebook, Karun took it, opened it, and saw four spells recorded on it.
"These are four spells that are quite useful in the God's Servant stage. The difficulty at this stage is relatively high. Ordinary God's Servants need to practice for a long time, but you should be able to learn them quickly."
"How long did Dis take to learn them?" Karun asked.
"Dis..." Puerh frowned, "Dis seems to understand them just by looking at them."
"Okay, got it."
Karun carefully looked at the first spell and asked, "Do I need to recite it for so long?"
"Reciting is just an aid to help you better resonate with the gods of rules or order. It's like when you beg someone for help, you will definitely say more good things, right? Of course, when you become powerful, just like when you have a good relationship with someone, a simple sentence or even a direct eye contact is enough."
"Okay." Karun signaled that he understood.
"Um, stand in a good position, open your right hand. We brought the book 'Light of Order', but you can also pretend to hold it in your hand. This will help you communicate with the god of order better. Imagine the majestic god of order, you are praying to him, calling him, and asking him to bring you the light of order. How happy is that?"
Puerh tried to guide Karun through the process using traditional teaching methods.But what appeared in Karun's mind was the Order God walking casually while flicking his fingers, leaving behind a vast expanse of stars.
When you sincerely pray to the gods, they actually respond in a perfunctory and casual manner, and this response depends on your identity, status, and level.
The most ridiculous thing is that the god... he does not possess the will of a god, but is only the body of a god or a puppet called "god," coldly executing the duties of a god.
After this image and understanding appeared in his mind, Karun found that he was completely unable to cultivate the emotions that Puerh had mentioned.
That kind of sacred prayer, warm calling, and sincere gratitude... made him feel like an unscrupulous dog, and he knew that what he was licking was just a mechanical gear. In the end, even being able to lick a mouthful of oil was considered a gift from the god.
However, at this time, the image of Dis appeared in Karun's mind:
Dis: The Order God was raised by a prostitute.
So, respect is not completely necessary.
Karun took a deep breath,
opened his left hand in front of him,
and recited:
"Oh great and supreme Order God, the chain of order that judges all things;
Please listen to my sincere call, and bestow protection upon your believers, guarding my heart that yearns for order and my unwavering faith in order!
Order - Primary Shelter Shadow Armor."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow behind Karun immediately rose up, and his face, skin, and clothes all became much darker, as if he had put on a cloak.
Alfred opened his mouth: "You succeeded in one try?"
Jinmao also opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, shaking it.
Puerh instantly fell into a memory, thinking of the scene of Dis practicing order magic after purification when he was a child. The grandfather and grandson were not just similar, they were... exactly the same.
Karun didn't notice the reactions of the cats, dogs, and radios around him, he just looked down and continued reciting the next spell;
Hmm, the opening nonsense is the same.
"Oh great and supreme Order God, the chain of order that judges all things;
Please listen...
Order - Primary Concealment Mist."
A faint mist appeared around Karun, enveloping him.
Next,
Karun continued with the next spell:
"Oh great and supreme Order God, the chain of order that judges all things;
Please listen...
Order - Primary Wall Door."
"Oh great and supreme Order God, the chain of order that judges all things;
Please listen...
Order - Primary Black Feather Surrounding."
A black door panel appeared in front of Karun, and two black wings appeared on either side of his body, enveloping him.
At this point,
Karun was completely covered in various black shadows, black mist, black doors, and black feathers, and could not even see that there was a person standing inside."Cough..."
Karun coughed, and the black shadows, black mist, black door, and black feathers all dissipated. Karun's complexion was rosy, and there was no sign of excessive spiritual power consumption. He just asked with some confusion, "You carefully selected these four last night? Why are they all defensive?"
Puerh replied, "Because the defensive spells are what we learn during the servant of god stage. As a servant of god, our job is to protect ourselves and grow. There are no spells with attack attributes?"
Karun asked.
"God's revelation also focuses on defensive spells and combines learning spells to better listen to the revelations from God. In the godly shepherd stage, it will be different, and there will be spells with attack attributes. After all, if the judge is considered the chief of the local police station, then the godly shepherd is like the detective under him."
"Is there any here?"
Karun started flipping through the pages.
"No," Puerh said, "I think at this stage, you can protect yourself with various layers of protection or try to wait for the radio to save you as much as possible. Because I'm afraid that overloading too early may cause you to overdraft. Although it looks like you're performing much better than I expected, maybe I can consider looking for it again..."
Karun flipped to the back and found that one page was written in an ugly font. If the previous font was cat's paw, then this page was truly dog's crawl.
The Spear of Punishment?
Karun looked at the golden-haired dog, and the dog blinked at him.
But Karun did not recite this dog's crawl directly. Instead, he asked Puerh, "Which stage is the Spear of Punishment?"
"The primary Spear of Punishment? It is learned in the godly shepherd stage... Damn it, you stupid dog dare to exceed the scope secretly!"
Puerh immediately realized something and scratched the dog's head with her cat's paw.
"Can I try it?" Karun asked.
Puerh stopped scratching and hesitated, "Well, you can try it, but if you feel that your body can't bear it, you can stop like you did just now."
After getting confirmation, Karun nodded.
He really didn't want his first spell learning class to end by constantly putting a turtle shell on himself.
Karun looked serious and recited the dog's crawl:
"O great and supreme God of Order, the chain of order that judges everything;
Please allow me to use your power to punish those who violate the order and wipe away the dust for the order;
Order - Spear of Punishment!"
After reciting it, Karun opened his eyes and looked around, but he did not see the appearance of a long spear.
So, did he fail?
As expected, it's not easy to learn spells by jumping levels.Just as Karun decided to face reality, he suddenly noticed Alfred, Puerh, and the golden retriever in front of him all looking up at him with a shocked expression.
Karun also looked up and found a black long spear appearing on his head, surrounded by black mist and engraved with ancient and mysterious inscriptions.
Success!
Karun instinctively reached out to grab the spear, but it rose higher as he moved his hand.
It seems like he can't use his hand to control it.
Karun's right hand moved to the east, and the spear on top of his head began to turn in the same direction as his right hand.
Oh, that's how it works.
Karun raised his right arm, and the spear flew higher. He pointed his finger at a distant green field and spoke as if he knew exactly what to do:
"Punishment."
"Buzz!"
Karun's body shook, and it felt like someone had slapped him on the back of his head. His nose seemed to have liquid dripping out, but he could still endure it much better than before. This feeling made Karun feel like he could do it again.
The spear of punishment flew directly into the empty green field.
Then...
"Boom!"
Even though Karun had intentionally aimed farther away, the power of the explosion exceeded his expectations. Also, due to the continuous rain in the past few days, the ground was already soft and wet. A large amount of wet black mud and green grass were blown up into the air and landed on everyone, making them all covered in mud.
Puerh muttered, "This is impossible. This is not a beginner's spear of punishment. It clearly went after a higher level. Oh my god, damn it, Karun, you didn't chant the beginner's level, so it automatically defaulted to the highest level of magic you can handle! You missed a word, you stupid dog!"
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Karun wiped the mud off his face with the back of his hand and wiped the blood from his nose with his palm. He took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Not bad."

When I was thinking of a name for this chapter, I happened to have a deck of cards beside me. I looked through them and found the Ace of Spades to be the most pleasing, so I chose it. Also, I only remember the saying "avoid using names of the emperor, family members, and wise people" when it comes to naming things. I don't care about other taboos or mysterious metaphors. A clear mind is a bright sky.Translation:
You've all subscribed up to this point, at least you're all apprentices. If you still think I'm intentionally playing with clichés to disgust people, then you really underestimate my level as an old author and my professional ethics. You all read the new book for free before it was released, and only decided to subscribe after it was published. If you choose to spend money, then you've definitely chosen to believe in the free content and this author.
So, can you have a little confidence in your own taste?
There will be one more update tonight, but it may be a bit late. I'll try to finish it by one o'clock in the morning.
