Chapter 109 – Another divine awakening

Count Lekar crawled out of his grave again, but this time, he moved gently and not recklessly like the first time. Perhaps he thought it was checking out of a hotel the first time, but now he realized that this was his eternal home, and he would cherish it more.

"Just now, I was thinking about which lying position to die in. It's strange that I didn't consider this when I died the first time."

Without further ado, Karun asked Count Lekar, "Can you freeze your body with your own power?"

"Uh...hmm...what?"

Although Count Lekar liked to imagine things, and he had imagined wrongly before, he was undoubtedly a wise man with broad knowledge and high intelligence. After all, a reckless man could not become the Pirate King, and the sea was not a place for recklessness.

When Count Lekar said, "Uh..." he was just wondering why this young master called him out again to ask such a question.

When he said, "Hmmm..." he thought about the question and found that it was feasible. Since he had already reached the pinnacle of the water attribute path, he could freeze death...even if it was just freezing "death" literally.

When Count Lekar said, "Huh..." he thought that if he could pause his body from the irreversible state of spiritual power dissipation, the purpose would naturally be to wait. So what would be the result of waiting?

When a person who had experienced death faced it again, they would most likely cherish the opportunity to live rather than take it lightly. Just like Karun...and Count Lekar.

At this moment, the Pirate King did not wait for Karun to say the next sentence. He knelt in front of Karun again and said, "I am willing to freeze myself according to your will!"

While agreeing, he lowered his posture again, completing the task in one go.

After learning about the extraordinary nature of the young man in front of him from Puerh and experiencing being awakened by the other party as a servant of the gods, Count Lekar would undoubtedly expect more from the future.

"Okay, you can try."

"Yes."

Count Lekar stood beside his tomb, with his hands spread out, and a majestic mist of ice began to hover above his palms. He looked directly at Karun and said seriously, "If I succeed, on the day of my revival, I will offer you all my loyalty!"

After speaking, Count Lekar slapped his chest directly, and his chest began to freeze. The ice quickly spread out, and soon he was frozen into a human ice sculpture.

Karun approached and began to observe carefully, instinctively reaching out his palm."Young master..." Alfred hurried forward to remind his young master to be careful of getting frostbite.

Karun shook his head, indicating that he was fine. He did not directly touch the frozen body of Count Lecar, but instead felt around the periphery.

Alfred blinked and also activated his succubus eyes to observe the ice sculpture.

Puerh leaned in and also began to examine it.

The lone golden retriever ran over to not appear out of place and carefully sniffed around the ice sculpture with its nose, like discerning if a dish covered in plastic wrap and put in the fridge had gone bad.

"It seems to be sealed." Karun said, "What do you all think?"

"Young master, I can't see anything."

"I can't sense anything either."

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

The golden retriever barked three times and then drew two lines on the ground with its paw and nail, one thick and one thin.

Karun thought for a moment and said, "Actually, the power of spiritual energy has still been lost, but compared to the beginning, it's only a fraction."

The golden retriever nodded.

In this world, there is no absolute seal, just like how food put in the fridge only delays the process of spoilage, but in reality, the food is still continuing to spoil.

Count Lecar is an excellent test subject. You won't be able to find a second test subject like him, because only Count Lecar can use this absolute freezing ability, so observing him is particularly important.

Alfred spoke up, "We can have a trusted person come here every so often to infuse water element power into the freeze, like maintaining a formation."

"Borg may not be enough." Puerh immediately said, "I suggest adding another person. Judith was brought here by the Queen in a box, prepared to be used as a supplementary sacrifice. She's now sleeping soundly after being saved by Count Lecar. Her talent is very high and was personally certified by Count Lecar as his 'daughter'.

She definitely can't go back to the Gloria family, so from now on we can announce that she's also passed away, and I suggest she stay in the Allen estate and maintain this ice sculpture with Borg. Her power is close to Count Lecar, and she will cherish and care for her father very much. The work will certainly be done meticulously."

Alfred was initially planning to add another nail, but he was surprised by Puerh's explanation. Puerh also wanted to add a nail!

Alright, very good. From now on, for the core members who stay by the young master's side, if one can be nailed down, then one will be nailed down. The competition for the mural location is forever ruthless.Karun didn't pay attention to Alfred and Puerh's office politics, because he still didn't have the consciousness of being a "boss". Although the cats, dogs, and radio around him already saw him as the boss, he still saw himself as a "front-line researcher" in his heart.

"Okay, let's do it as you said."

...

Mr. Bede helped his second brother Mike, who was also thrown out, and found his wheelchair. The wheelchair was a bit damaged and bent, but it could still be used.

Mike, sitting in the wheelchair, felt a little lost and said, "We descendants are really too useless. Our ancestors are so dissatisfied with us that they even took back the qualification to kowtow."

"I think maybe our ancestors didn't want us to see him kowtow..."

Mr. Bede paused for a moment and continued, "Our ancestor doesn't have much time left, so he skipped these formalities."

"Well, that's probably it." Mike accepted his brother's explanation.

The two of them waited for a long time in the distance, only daring to look carefully at the cemetery location a few times, but not daring to get any closer.

Finally, they waited for someone to come... or more accurately, they waited for a cat to come. The cat was sitting on a dog's back.

When they saw the cat, Bede and Mike both instinctively lowered their heads to show respect.

Previously, the two of them, along with their father Anderson, believed in an instant that one of their ancestors would wake up tonight to solve the family crisis, because another ancestor had already awakened in front of them.

After Puerh changed into the hat and jewelry from her youth and posed with the same posture to create the same atmosphere, most importantly, when she spoke, no matter how absurd it was, the father and son could believe it calmly.

"The Earl of Rekall's tomb needs to be repaired. Mike, you will be in charge of it."

"Okay, ancestor." Mike immediately agreed respectfully.

Then, Puerh looked at Bede and said very seriously, "The queen has died."

Bede was stunned for a moment, digesting Puerh's combination of verbs and adjectives.

"So, what do you think the family should do now?"

"I...I don't know." Mr. Bede said habitually.

"Karun's idea is that he's tired and doesn't want to deal with these trivial matters anymore, so he hopes that you, as an artist, can take on some of the work."

Mr. Bede smiled awkwardly and replied, "Was the queen dismembered?"

"She was completely dismembered." Puerh replied.

"Then find a box, put the queen in it, and send her directly back to the palace. The Gloria royal family may have already prepared a press release about the tragedy that both the queen and our Allen Manor suffered, and this is the perfect time for them to use it."

"Is that appropriate?" Puerh tilted her head, "The Earl of Rekall can no longer wake up.""We can pretend that Count Lecarl is still awake. The Gloria royal family can only be more anxious than us, on the condition that we have enough confidence."

"Good, who will go to deliver the message?"

"Since Young Master Karun is busy, I will personally go to warn the Gloria royal family. If they dare to cross the line again, they will have to pay a huge price."

"Okay, we leave it to you. Also, your father is currently unconscious under the dining table, and there are three people lying on the table."

"I'll take care of it," Mike said. "Bede will handle the matter with the Gloria royal family, and I will take care of the family affairs. Also, please trust that the servants and guards accompanying the queen will not cause any problems. I will gather the clan members and guards in the manor to watch over them until they receive orders from the palace."

"Okay." Puerh looked at Bede pointedly. "Young Master Karun said something that I think is very reasonable. I want to give you that sentence as a reminder."

"Please enlighten me with the words of our ancestors."

"Karun said that an artist not only needs to have a high aesthetic pursuit, but most importantly, he needs to catch the breath of the earth."

"The breath of the earth?"

"Oh, it's not asking you to believe in the Earth God Church, but purely the breath of the earth."

"I seem to... understand a little."

"That's good." Puerh nodded, but actually it didn't understand this sentence itself. Because Karun always likes to say short sentences with strange tones and adjectives, which seems like they were translated from other languages, making them sound awkward.

"Anyway, the biggest crisis has been resolved. What you two need to do now is to do a good job in the aftermath. I hope you can do it well, because the young master has more important things to do now."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Puerh patted the dog's head with its paw, and the dog immediately turned and ran towards the castle.

Karun indeed had more important things to do. He first visited Unis, who was still asleep.

Then, Karun came to the room that originally belonged to Alfred on the third floor, which was next to his own master bedroom. Although it didn't have as many luxurious functions as the master bedroom, it had a separate bathroom at least.

The only flaw was that there were dense cracks on the wall shared with his master bedroom, which would not affect the structure of the house, but was enough to make ordinary people's scalp numb.

Fortunately, Karun could accept this.

After taking a shower, Karun lay on the bed.

At this time, there was the sound of cleaning coming from the master bedroom next door. The reason why Karun could hear it was not because of poor sound insulation, but because the family servants had finished cleaning up the mess caused by "Queen on the Floor" and began to repair the damaged master bedroom on the spot.Outside, there were shouts as the Alan family and their bodyguards drove the Queen's servants and guards to an empty space for supervision.

Alfred pulled up the curtains and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you need to change to a quieter room?"

Karun shook his head and said, "When you're exhausted, you can sleep well on the side of the road."

"Then rest well, Mr. Bede has already left for the palace in York City. I believe that when you wake up, Alan Manor will have returned to calm."

"Bring me my notebook. I want to write something before bed."

"Okay, Master."

In order to make room for the Queen, Karun had moved all his things to Alfred's room.

Karun lay on the bed, opened his notebook, and picked up a pen.

Alfred brought a glass of ice water to the bedside table, then stepped back and stood quietly with his hands in front of him.

Karun began to write in his notebook:

"The chain of the awakening ceremony has turned red, which makes me believe that it should have other color changes in the future, and it is very likely to correspond to other functions."

"Count Rekar's awakening lasted a short time. Mr. Hofen maintained his consciousness for several days after his grandfather's awakening, and Miss Mandira also maintained it indirectly for several days. Count Rekar's consciousness only lasted half a night."

"This should be related to the chain turning red. Red should represent the lowest input value, which means that its power is finally sufficient to start up..."

Karun hesitated for a moment and crossed out the phrase "start up," changing it to "engine start."

"Based on the current known situation, I can conclude that my awakening will save me the most tedious steps and costs compared to the awakening of the Order of God, but it also involves my own accumulation."

"If I am not a god servant now, but a judge, or even higher up, I should be able to do it more calmly."

"The frozen Count Rekar is now equivalent to being put in a freezer, plus a series of other auxiliary measures, which can greatly delay the dissipation rate of the residual spiritual energy in his body. I hope this time is long enough."

"Because the next time I awaken him, I must have the ability to sustainably 'supplement' him. Now, this ability is still far away from me."

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

"Once I have that ability to sustainably supplement the awakened corpse with active power, it will be equivalent to giving them a chance to 'live longer,' which means I directly control their life and death."

"If Count Rekar can remain awake all the time and be by my side, how much security will I have..."

Here, Karun subconsciously used an exclamation sentence.Because he was used to the feeling of his grandfather being by his side, after his grandfather fell asleep, he actually felt a great sense of loss in his heart.

However, considering that his notes might be looked through, Karun added another sentence:

"But I already have Alfred by my side, he is my most loyal protector."

The center of the "." was filled in, and a vertical line was added on top, changing it to "!"

"But after obtaining this ability, do I still need to worry about my personal safety?"

"I think you should, depending on what you want to do later. Even Dis chose negotiation when facing the depth of the Order of the Gods."

Karun was tired and didn't want to write anymore. Just as he was about to close his notebook, he suddenly stopped:

"I found that the summary of myths in 'The Light of Order' is starting to overlap frequently with my current experiences. I can always find shadows of what I am experiencing now in the summary of myths in 'The Light of Order.'

I know that I am special and different;

So, am I walking the same path as the God of Order did back then?

Grandpa said that the God of Order is very hungry, and he also said that the God of Order is not a true god;

So, I cannot be complacent just because I can find similarities now. Grandpa's path was wrong, but it seems that the path of the God of Order has also gone wrong.

Perhaps, like Grandpa, the God of Order also went too far, so there is no turning back."

Karun picked up his water glass and took a sip of ice water. He put down the glass and continued to write:

"Am I considered a divine messenger now?"

"How do I verify my current realm?"

"Or, should I just consider myself a divine servant again, unrelated to being a divine messenger, and start the divine messenger process again?"

"But if the gods don't give me a second revelation, what should I do?"

Karun, leaning against the back of the bed, held his pen and suddenly fell into deep thought.

Alfred, who had been quietly standing in the distance, was in a state of turmoil. Every time he saw the young master pick up his notebook to write something, he felt like he was witnessing history.

Because he firmly believed that the words written by the young master now would inevitably become works that would be read, researched, and admired by countless people for thousands of years, like "The Light of Order" and "The Era of Light"!

Huh? Why is the young master sitting there motionless?

Oh, the young master must be tired and fell asleep.

Alfred quietly walked to the bedside, wanting to help the young master get more comfortable and fall asleep, but as he approached, he suddenly stopped in his tracks because he felt a "devout" and "thoughtful" aura emanating from the young master.

He had just seen this exact same aura from the young master when he was sitting on the steps a while ago.

Alfred silently opened his mouth slightly,

Although praise for the young master had already filled Alfred's heart,

After witnessing this scene in front of him, he still felt shocked:"Master, is it another divine inspiration?"

What is a great existence? This is a great existence!

Tired of talking, he said he could fall asleep on the roadside due to exhaustion, but he habitually wanted to write something before going to bed. As he was about to put down his pen and notebook, he decided to have another divine inspiration.

At this time, the noise from the next master bedroom's renovation continued, and the noise from outside the empty space still kept coming. Alfred really wanted to shout to make the world quiet, but he couldn't do that.

"Huh..."

However, to Alfred's surprise, he found that the young master had opened his eyes again and picked up the pen.

Hmm? The young master's divine inspiration this time is so fast!

Karun is not aware that he is currently in a state of divine inspiration. The reason why he was able to feel it clearly last time was not only because of the black and white world observation, but also because he had a rejection and doubt towards the definition of "God" in his heart.

But this time he was purely self-reflecting.

The pen tip fell on the paper again.

Karun first wrote a sentence:

"Why do we have to sit and wait for God to give us revelations? If there is no God, if God is not available, can't we get the truth? Grandpa said that faith came first, and then God was born. Before the God of Light appeared, was there no light in the world? Before the God of Order appeared, was there no order in the world? Before the God of the Earth appeared, did the earth not exist? Therefore, only what the God-given God says is the truth? Why can't we personally seek enlightenment and verify the truth?"

In the last sentence that followed, Karun was completely unaware of it. Or rather, he didn't even realize that he was writing. Writing was just an additional action because he was immersed in his own thoughts and answers.

But Alfred, standing by the bed, clearly saw the black ink pen in the young master's hand, but it was writing golden letters at this moment!

The golden letters wrote:

"Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth."
