"Are you looking for my brother?" Selena asked curiously. "What do you need him for?"
"Mr. Karun came to buy a piece of pottery from me. Since you know him, I'll give him one as a gift."
"I'm here to ask your brother to make me a mask."
"...LeMar."
"Brother! This is my savior!"
LeMar frowned.
"Brother, do you think your own sister's life is worth less than a mask? A mask usually only sells for 500 Abyssal Coupons!"
"It's not about the coupons," LeMar tried to explain.

Karun spoke up, "Don't trouble your brother. Besides, I don't have any coupons on hand. I was being presumptuous."
"No, no need for coupons. I'll make it for you for free!"
"...LeMar."
"Brother, he saved my life. Without him, you would have lost your lovely sister!"
"In fact, I was always against our parents having you at such an old age."
"Ah!"
Selena pounced on LeMar, and the two siblings started fighting in front of Karun.
Karun stood by and watched, not wanting to get involved.
"Okay, okay, I'll make it, I'll make it!"
In the end, LeMar surrendered.
Actually, when his sister called for Karun at the door, he had already guessed who it was. He had thought Karun was a gentleman who wouldn't be difficult, but he turned out to be quite rude.
"Thank you, Mr. LeMar."
"Payment?" Selena looked at her brother.
"No need, no need," LeMar raised his hand in surrender.
Selena turned to Karun and asked, "You said you don't have any coupons on hand?"
"Yes."
"Brother, did you hear that? My savior is so poor he doesn't even have any coupons!"
"...LeMar."
"Brother, let me check your pockets." Selena pulled out two coupons. "Only 200, not enough."
"Selena..."
"Let's add some more. Can't let go of 200."
"Selena..."
"Will you give it or not?"
"Fine, fine." LeMar pulled out three more coupons and handed them to his sister.
"Here, take them." Selena took Karun's hand and placed 500 Abyssal Coupons in it.
"Thank you."
Karun thanked them and placed the coupons on his desk.
LeMar sighed and said, "Mr. Karun, you should keep them, or else my sister will have a reason to go to your house and give you coupons."
"Why did you remind him, brother!""I'm sorry to have used my favor to coerce you into making the mask for me, it's already shameful enough, how can I take your points again."
"Please accept it." Lemar pushed his sister aside and bowed formally to Karun, "Lemar D. Voss, thank you for protecting my sister."
Seeing her brother being serious, Serina also bowed to Karun:
"Serina Voss, thank you for saving my life."
The Voss family?
Karun knew this family, he had seen it in Mr. Hofen's notes. This family was best at puppetry and had a family faith system.
This was a once glorious family, with a record of the Voss family in the mythological narrative of "The Abyssal Song", although it was only one sentence:
When the Abyssal God went to explore heaven, in order to continue to deter the demons in hell from causing trouble, he called on Voss to build a puppet for him, placed it in hell, and the demons in hell thought that the Abyssal God had been in hell all along, and did not dare to cause trouble until the Abyssal God successfully opened up heaven.
Here, Voss should refer to the ancestor of the Voss family, an existence that could build puppets for the main god!
However, Mr. Hofen's notes also recorded that the Bright God Sect had asked the Voss family to build a puppet for the sect, but the Voss family refused and was then chased by the Bright God Sect, leading to their downfall.
The other party had already introduced themselves, so Karun could only respond in the way of this circle, placing his hands on his chest:
"Everything comes from the guidance of order, praise order."
Lemar frowned slightly because Karun did not mention his surname.
Serina, who was straightforward, asked directly:
"What's your surname?"
Karun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't want to deceive you."
The Bright God Sect had already been destroyed, and even if there were remnants, they could not trouble the Voss family anymore.
But the Order God Sect still existed, and because of his grandfather's relationship, Karun could not mention the surname "Inmorales" outside.
Lemar asked, "Mr. Karun, are you married?"
Serina looked at Karun very seriously, waiting for his answer.
"No, but I'm engaged. In half a year, I will have a sincere invitation for you to attend my wedding."
Serina was a little disappointed.
Lemar smiled at Karun, he was very satisfied with Karun's honesty.
"The mask making takes time."
"Okay, how long will it take for me to come back?"
In the matter of making the mask, Karun couldn't be too polite or too courteous, because it was Mr. Pavarro's face skin that he had personally taken off, and he needed to be responsible for it."Five hours."
"Okay, hmm?"
So fast?
"So, Mr. Karun can wait in the store for a bit. After I finish, you can try it on. If you're satisfied and there are no defects, you can take it with you directly."
"I'm really grateful."
"Don't mention it. Does Mr. Karun have any plans during this time?"
"My car is parked outside the store. I can wait in the car."
"Sarina, take Mr. Karun to the guest room to rest for a bit. Look at Mr. Karun's eyes. If I didn't feel that he was an ordinary person when he entered the store, I would have thought that some kind of demon had entered the store when I looked up.
Hehe, hmm?"
Lemar smiled and then stopped smiling. This person in front of him had "praised order" and had even saved his sister with magic on the tram. How could he be an ordinary person?
This was basically admitting that he was "blind" to himself.
To ease the embarrassment, Lemar could only say awkwardly, "Mr. Karun's technique and magic tool for hiding his aura are very powerful."
Karun nodded and admitted, "I'm sorry for showing off."
"Karun, let me take you to rest."
"My servant is still outside. I'll go tell him."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Karun walked out of the store and came to the car. Alfred immediately got out of the car and walked over proactively.
"Young master, how did it go?"
"Everything went smoothly. They agreed to make it for me. The little girl I saved in the last tram explosion is the store owner's sister."
"Huh..." Alfred sighed, "This is God's arrangement, no, it's the young master's arrangement for himself."
"They want to invite me to rest in the guest room for about five hours. It's not convenient to refuse since they're the ones who chose to get closer to me."
This was a move by the other party to get closer to him. It wouldn't be good to refuse, especially since he hadn't gotten the mask yet.
"Young master, go rest. I'll wait in the car."
"Okay."
Karun bent down and looked at his eyes in the rearview mirror, saying, "I really look like you."
"Hehe, how can my eyes compare to yours, young master?"
"That sentence sounded a bit awkward."
"Young master is right to scold me."
"It's probably because you're tired too. I'll go inside and take a nap, and you can rest in the car."
"Okay, young master."
Karun walked back to the pottery gallery, and Sarina kindly came over to guide him. Lemar shouted from behind, "You have to come out later when Mr. Karun is resting."
"Hmph!"
The first floor was the storefront, and the second floor was the living area. Sarina led Karun up the stairs, and the furnishings inside were no different from an ordinary family."You sleep in this room." Selena pointed to a room.
Karun glanced inside at the pink decor and various dolls and shook his head.
"Okay." Selena, helpless, could only bring Karun to the guest room. The furnishings here were much simpler, with just a bed and a cabinet. Usually, there shouldn't be anyone staying here.
"Thank you, and thank your brother too."
Karun sat down on the bed.
"Karun, how did you meet your fiancée?"
"Our parents introduced us."
"Through a blind date?"
"Yeah."
"That's not as exciting as our encounter."
"Hehe."
"Karun, is your fiancée pretty?"
"She's very beautiful."
"What type is she? Can you describe her?"
"She's very elegant."
"Can you describe her more?"
Just one "elegant," Karun couldn't help himself.
"I'll bring her to meet you when I have the chance. Maybe you two can become good friends."
"Okay." Selena walked out and poured a glass of water for Karun, placing a cream bun on the cabinet. "Karun, rest well. I'll watch over your brother and make a mask for you."
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it. You're our savior."
Selena closed the door.
Karun lay down on the bed. He spent five minutes searching for information about the Voss family in his mind, then spent another fifteen minutes imagining what Yunes looked like.
Then, he fell asleep.
...
The shop had a basement floor, which was Le Mar's exclusive workspace. At this moment, Le Mar stood in front of a doll wearing a blue suit, a childlike figure. But because the seams on its body were so clear, it gave people a slightly creepy feeling in dim light.
Le Mar sorted the materials into cups as he spoke.
"This kid is really handsome. No wonder Selena fell for him. He's no worse than a prince charming. And he's a savior. Which girl would be willing to wait until the next life to be a cow or a horse? As for him, he's not bad either. After getting to know him, I feel he's quite decent and knows his boundaries. The most interesting thing is that he can't say his surname. When he formally greeted me, he only praised order. Everything is arranged by order. I don't think he forgot about 'God' unintentionally."
Le Mar prepared the materials and said to the doll in front of him, "Open your mouth."
The doll opened its mouth.Le Mar poured material after material into the doll's mouth. After everything was poured, he looked at the ruby in his hand, put it down, and then took out a more dazzling sapphire from the box beside him...
After hesitating for a while, Le Mar took out a sparkling purple gemstone.
"I really hate to part with it."
"Brother, how much longer?" His little sister's urging voice came from outside the door.
"Almost, almost."
Le Mar shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, "Why do I have such a silly sister?"
Holding the purple gemstone in his hand, Le Mar looked at it again and again.
"This one can be sold for five thousand Abyssal Coupons. Sigh...but since it's already a losing business, I can't be stingy anymore. The point of a losing business is to earn goodwill. If I don't earn money and goodwill, it's not worth it. Besides, this kid can climb high with this identity. If he enters the middle layer with inferior materials, he may not be able to hide as well. But he seems to be very good at hiding his breath. Forget it, I won't think about it. My sister's life is worth this price."
In the end, Le Mar put the purple gemstone into the doll's mouth, and then put the face of Mr. Pavaro on it.
The doll closed its mouth.
Le Mar took two steps back, opened his hands, and a white light rose from his body. Two black vortexes appeared in the doll's eyes, and the white light was sucked in like it was being charged.
Then, a purple light appeared in the doll's stomach.
The process lasted about ten minutes, and Le Mar was already sweating profusely. Finally, the doll stopped, and Le Mar took a deep breath, picked up a large cup of sugar water next to him, added a spoonful of salt, and drank it all in big gulps.
"Crack!"
The doll opened its mouth and a small purple gemstone was spit out.
"Brother, is it done yet? It's been so long!"
His silly little sister started urging again from outside.
Le Mar could only shake his head, walk over and open the door. His sister ran in and saw the small purple gemstone in Le Mar's hand.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Le Mar asked with a smile.
"Are you going to make a gemstone ring? Oh right, he's a man, not suitable for a pendant, only suitable for a ring. Brother, what about the ring made of the ice python skull you collected? It's a perfect match for this. Hehe, he will definitely show off his temperament after wearing this ring."
"My sister, do you know the value of that ring?"
"I don't care, I'll just use it."
"Sigh...""Brother, he's the one who saved my life. He saved your sister's life. What's there to hesitate about?"
"If I had known your life was so valuable, I might have hesitated to agree."
"Brother!!!"
"Alright, alright, give it to him. I'll do the setting."
Le Mar sat down and took the ring from the drawer. He personally used tools to set the purple gemstone onto the ring.
He picked it up and held it in front of him. Le Mar couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.
"It's a work of art."
"Let me see, let me see." Serena took the ring and smiled. "He'll wear this ring all the time and every time he sees it, he'll think of me."
Le Mar reminded her, "He should be thinking of me."
"I'll go give it to him, hehe."
Serena ran out with the ring, but when she got to the door, she suddenly stopped and turned to her brother.
"Brother, do you remember the night we had an accident when we were young?"
"Why are you suddenly bringing that up?"
"That night, I dragged you out to look for the little puppy that suddenly ran away from home."
"Yes, if you hadn't dragged me out that night, we would have probably died like our parents did that night."
"I always felt that the little puppy knew something and deliberately ran away from home for us to find it."
"May the ancestors bless us."
"Actually, I had a similar feeling when facing him. Brother, do you believe me? I'm not just attracted to his good looks, although he is really good-looking."
Le Mar sighed and said, "So that's why you insist on waiting for him every day to create a chance encounter?"
"Yes, this way we can be a family, right? Unfortunately, he has a fiancée, but maybe I can try to be his mistress."
Le Mar covered his face. "Mom and Dad will scold you if they find out."
"Haha..." Hearing the mention of Mom and Dad, Serena laughed and said, "It's all your fault, Brother. What were you trying to achieve with the puppet Mom and Dad you made?"
"I just wanted you to have a more real family and not be sad."
"Yes, the Mom and Dad you made are really real. They're so real that the two puppets can even argue and get divorced, giving me an extra stepfather and stepmother."
"I can't control that."
"Brother, can I go give him the ring now?"
"Okay."
Watching his sister run out, Le Mar couldn't help but think of his mother, not the puppet he made, but his real mother who was a member of the cursed Ye Kailin family.The Wall God Church is the most skilled in divination within the church, and the most skilled in fortune-telling within the family system is the Ye Kailin family.
Karun's younger sister inherited the bloodline of the Ye Kailin family from their mother.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
Lemal scratched his head with both hands.
"Even though I've tried to console myself like this, I still feel so heartbroken!!!"
...
Gently pushing open the door, Selenia, who had intended to admire her lover's sleeping posture for a while longer, was surprised to find that Karun was already awake and sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing his coat.
"You're awake?"
"Yeah, I think it's time. I woke up naturally because I had something on my mind."
Although he had only slept for a short while, he felt much more relaxed.
"The mask is ready."
"Thank you for your hard work, brother. I'll go thank him in person."
"Try it on first. Come here, there's a dressing mirror in my bedroom."
Selenia led Karun to her bedroom and stood in front of a dressing mirror. She handed him the purple gemstone ring.
"Put it on."
"What is it?"
"It's the mask. Did you think your brother made a simple mask?"
"No, but I didn't expect it to be so exquisite."
"It looks good, doesn't it? Let me help you put it on."
Selenia enthusiastically helped Karun put the ring on his left ring finger.
"Karun, try to stimulate the ring with a little spiritual power."
"Okay."
Karun released a strand of spiritual power towards the ring. Immediately, the ring emitted a purple light, which quickly spread and covered his entire body. Soon, the purple light dissipated, and Karun looked up at himself in the dressing mirror.
Standing in the mirror was Mr. Pavaro, with the same face, body shape, and temperament. Even...he was bald on top.
Karun instinctively touched his face. He could feel a thin layer of "oil" covering his body, but the feeling of his fingertips touching Mr. Pavaro was real.
This meant that the disguise of this mask was not only in appearance, but also in actual contact with others!
It was so amazing, it was unbelievable. No wonder the family could create puppets for the main gods in mythological narratives. After all, the demons in hell were not so easily fooled.
"As long as you stimulate the ring again, you can return to your original appearance. I'll go get my brother to explain it to you again. Keep trying and get familiar with it."
Selenia left the bedroom, and Karun continued to stare at himself in the mirror, or rather, at Mr. Pavaro in the mirror.With it, he could enter the Order of the Gods as "Pavarro" and start as a judge.
Thank you, Mr. Pavarro.
Then, Karun used his spiritual power to stimulate the ring again. The purple light shone again, and he immediately returned to his original appearance. The switch between the two appearances made Karun feel unreal, even reminiscent of the panic and palpitations he felt when he first looked at himself in the mirror after waking up in this world.
Am I Pavarro?
Am I Karun?
He instinctively lowered his head and looked at the ring in his hand. A sentence came to his mind:
[Order is a mask.]
