Chapter 154 – Apply for a certificate

The Ivy Cemetery;

Mr. Pavaro's grave was still next to Mrs. Annie's grave, arranged by Mrs. Lake.

After the burial, Alfred squatted in front of Mrs. Annie's tombstone with a carving knife and engraved a line of words on it:

"Thank you for letting me see the tenderness from the sea."

After finishing, Alfred turned around and carved on Mr. Pavaro's tombstone:

"Thank you for letting me see the true light."

The funeral was brief, so there was no way to customize the tombstones, they could only be temporarily carved.

Mrs. Lake mourned in silence in front of the two tombstones for a long time before turning to smile at Karun, indicating that she was done.

Karun didn't mourn anymore, everything he wanted to say had been carved by Alfred.

On the way back, Karun drove the hearse with Mrs. Lake inside, and Alfred followed in his car.

Mrs. Lake, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the night scenery outside the window and said, "Everything seems to have settled down. When I saw the soil being filled in, it felt like life was back on track."

"Yes, back on track. Funerals are a kind of sorting for the living."

"You're familiar with funerals. I can tell. I mean the funeral process."

"Yes."

"In the future, will you run this funeral home?"

"I will."

"That's good, that's good. Actually, I know that I'm not very good at managing things. My temper is always easy to flare up."

"My friend said that his wife used to be very gentle, but he felt guilty because his negligence led to her becoming more and more irritable."

Mrs. Lake smiled.

Karun, who was driving, turned his head and looked at Mrs. Lake in the passenger seat, saying, "You remind me of an elder."

"Oh? Your elder?"

"Yeah, she's like you, not very good-tempered and likes to curse, but she's actually very kind, very kind."

Karun thought of Aunt Mary, who always placed a clean set of pajamas in the bathroom every time he took a shower at home, and there would always be a clean set of clothes for him to wear on the bed when he came out.

Aunt Mary was a woman who could scold you from head to toe, but also take care of you from head to toe.

Mrs. Lake said, "I'm honored. She must be a very respectable elder."

"Yeah, she's about your age."

"Really?" Mrs. Lake asked, "Do you miss home?"

"I've already remembered the people at home. Do you think I miss home?"

Home... doesn't that refer to family?

"Sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's okay.""In the future, I'll listen to you about the Funeral Society and other things."

"Okay."

Karun didn't refuse because it was what Lady Lake wanted. Perhaps she just wanted to take care of her two daughters well, and everything else was a burden to her.

The hearse drove into the Funeral Society, which was lit up but empty.

"Where are Pick and Dingcomb?"

"They used to live here, but they rented a nearby house after. They're off work now," Lady Lake said.

"So, it's just Dorin and Dora at home?"

"Yeah."

Dorin and Dora were the nicknames of Mr. Pavalow's two daughters, which meant "God's gift" in Markleyan.

"In a few days, someone will clean up their place," Karun said.

"Are you going back?"

"Yeah."

"Why don't you rest here? You can sleep in the study... no, the bedroom."

"No, I'll pass for now."

"Okay then." Lady Lake bowed to Karun and walked back to the shop.

Karun got into Alfred's car and touched his ring, turning back into his original form.

"Let's go back."

"Okay, young master."

Alfred drove back to the apartment, and Karun took a shower and lay down on the bed.

John and Alfred shared a room. Alfred slept on the bed, while John slept on the floor. However, when he heard Karun come back, he immediately got up and brought him ice water and a newspaper.

John used to be a young master himself, always being served by others. Now, he had to serve others wholeheartedly. But he didn't feel it was hard, because when he served Karun, he felt safe. As long as he was useful, he could be protected.

Karun took a sip of water and said, "After a while, let Alfred arrange a school for you."

"Young master, I think I'm good here. I can take care of Miss Puerh and Kevin."

"You can take care of them after school."

"Okay, young master." John didn't dare to argue anymore.

"Go rest."

"Goodnight, young master."

John walked out and closed the door.

Karun didn't read the newspaper. He drank his water and planned to sleep. He had to go to the Funeral Society tomorrow. At this moment, he suddenly missed his previous job, where he could skip work for a whole day without an appointment. Now, he had to go to work every day.

Puerh came over and asked, "Karun, when will the coupon reward come?"

"It should be coming soon. After it arrives, I'll give Alfred 5,000 Order Coupons. You can let Alfred buy the materials you need on the black market in the future.""Mm, good."

"I hope I can learn it quickly too."

The two magic spells, Darkmoon Blade and Sea God's Armor, were the ones that could greatly enhance and enrich his combat ability at the moment, and they also fit his characteristics.

However, the inheritance of these two spells was not simply reciting incantations, but required the production of specific scrolls to carry the imprinted thoughts, which required materials.

The 500 Abyss Coupons that Lemar gave to Karun earlier had already been given to Alfred, who had also bought some materials for the family's pets. They were now in the process of basic production, and after the basic production was completed, they still needed to be carried by blank scrolls.

The required carrying scrolls were a bit expensive, and according to Puerh, it was because they were of a higher level than the spells provided by Kevin. Only high-grade scrolls could perfectly carry their imprinted thoughts.

On the black market, one of these scrolls cost one thousand Order Coupons, and two cost two thousand Order Coupons.

The official channel of the Order Church was cheaper. Karun had seen a list on Mr. Pavaro's desk that showed that using Order Coupons to purchase from the internal channel of the Order Church cost 800 coupons per scroll.

But the problem was that it was easy to attract attention if a low-level judge spent almost two months' allowance to buy such high-level blank scrolls all at once, so it was safer to obtain them from the black market.

The original plan was to ask for some coupons from the Allen family through Bogg, but now that he was about to receive a reward of ten thousand Order Coupons, he didn't need to rush to ask the Allen Estate for them. After all, Puerh and Kevin still needed some time to complete their basic preparations, and it could be fully coordinated.

For people with high understanding abilities, it was possible to use spells of different faith attributes together, but they would face two unavoidable problems: more spiritual consumption and only being able to use the basics, making it difficult to master or further enhance the spell.

In addition, usually a corresponding sacred artifact of the spell system was needed as a medium.

For example, when the Berry Church priest in Roja City faced his grandfather, he had stacked up countless defenses, which was also because he had many sacred artifacts corresponding to various faith systems.

But these were not problems for Karun. Firstly, because Karun himself had a deep "pool" of water and accumulated spiritual power far beyond his peers. Secondly, because Karun's purification used the power of light, which, according to Puerh, was an excellent converter of various attribute powers.This is also one of the reasons why the trace of the God of Light appeared in the mythological narratives of various orthodox churches in the first two eras. At the same time, it is also one of the reasons why the major orthodox churches tacitly went up to step on the Light God Church to prevent it from reigniting after its decline.

During this time, Karun was also following up and learning the internal spells of the Order of the Gods. He learned this much faster, but he still looked forward to the two spells provided by Puerh and Kevin.

After all, even Mr. Pavaro, who was a judge, was quite ordinary in terms of combat ability.

The Armor of the Sea God adds defense;

The Blade of the Dark Moon adds attack;

Finally, he could get rid of the embarrassing situation of being stuck with the Punishment Spear.

He still felt that he was a little short of the judge's level, but he couldn't be impatient. He had come step by step from the hardest path, and if he rushed through any of the steps in the middle, everything before would lose its meaning.

With these thoughts, Karun entered his dream.

...

He woke up at eight o'clock in the morning.

After washing up, Karun went downstairs and found Alfred was wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.

He heard the sound of hot oil splashing.

"Young master, the noodles are ready."

Alfred walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of oil-splashed noodles and placed them on the table. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and started mixing the noodles. After mixing them, Alfred said:

"Young master, try it."

Karun picked up the noodles and took a bite, "It's very good."

"It's still far from your level, young master."

Alfred also sat down, and the two of them ate noodles together.

After breakfast, Alfred drove Karun to the Pavaro Funeral Home. Karun, sitting in the passenger seat, turned into Mr. Pavaro's appearance.

"After the arrangements are made, 'Mr. Pavaro' can leave home and take on tasks to earn points for the two daughters. I don't have to wear a mask every day anymore."

"Yes, young master, you have worked hard during this time."

Karun got out of the car and walked towards the funeral home. There was a commercial vehicle parked at the door, and he subconsciously thought that it should be someone from the district.

Vikore's investigation report that he had written had already been copied and handed over to Dingcom to be delivered to the "courier". Therefore, the specific operation results should have come out by now.

Sure enough, when Karun walked into the funeral home, he saw a middle-aged man with a thin face standing inside, and a young man who looked like a document clerk standing next to him. Both of them were wearing black robes.

"Judge Pavaro?"

"Yes."

"I am Vice Director Mion."

"Hello, Director."Mion put his hands in front of his chest, and Karun followed suit immediately. The two of them said in unison, "Praise Order!"

"Go to my study?"

"No need." Mion smiled. "In terms of procedures, we can simplify some of them. Judge Pavarro won't mind, after all, you have suggested several times to the Regional Management Department to improve the bureaucratic atmosphere within the Church."

"Of course, that would be best."

"Well, first of all, I want you to confirm again whether the situation report you submitted to the Regional Management Department regarding the Zhihe case is accurate."

"Accurate."

"Good, that's it." Mion looked at the clerk next to him. "Is it recorded?"

"Recorded, Director."

"Judge Pavarro, this is your fifth-level judge's document, please take it."

"Thank you, Regional."

"In addition, this is your new superior, Judge Vicolet's greeting gift that he asked me to pass on to you."

"Thank you, Judge."

"Judge Vicolet is a very easy-going person. Being able to be his subordinate is a reward from the God of Order."

"Hehe."

Karun gave a "Pavarro" style sneer.

"Okay, that's it." Mion pointed to the car outside. "I still have things to do, so I'll leave first."

At this time, the clerk reminded him in a low voice.

"Oh, you now have an additional position of a god servant. Do you have a candidate you recommend?"

"Yes, Director."

The clerk took out a business card, smiled at Karun, and handed it to him.

"Judge Pavarro can directly send the god servant you selected to the Education Building behind the Wutong Street Police Station to process the identity authentication file. Show this business card to the person in charge of the authentication office, and he will pass it quickly, provided that he is a god servant who believes in order."

Karun: "Of course."

"Then, according to the address on the business card, come to me or let the god servant you selected come directly to me, and I will transfer his file to your court."

"Okay, I got it."

"Is there anything else?" Mion asked.

"Director, there is one more thing," Karun said.

"Oh, what is it?"

"The Regional should still have a reward for me. If I remember correctly, it should be two thousand Order Coupons."

Mion frowned and pointed to the gift box. "Isn't it in the box?"

"This is a gift from Judge Vicolet to me as his subordinate, not the Regional's reward."

Mion's face showed displeasure, and then he took out two thousand Order Coupons from his pocket and handed them to Karun, saying, "I forgot to bring the envelope."

"Okay." Karun accepted it.Mion turned and left, and the young clerk bowed to Karun before chasing after her.

Karun knew that if he didn't take this reward from the district, it would be diverted. If it were his old self, he wouldn't mind sharing, but now that he was in Pavaro, he had to take it!

The promotion ceremony was sloppy, and the questioning process was also sloppy. Karun knew that this was because of Vecole's deliberate arrangement, to show off how deep his network was to him.

But in Karun's eyes, these actions were like a mischievous monkey showing off its red butt to him.

Pick and Dingkong walked over immediately. "Congratulations, boss!"

"Uh-huh."

Karun nodded and handed two thousand order vouchers to Pick, saying, "Give this to the missus. Also, I just took on a new task and will be busy for a while. I have to go out now and probably won't be back for a while, so when the new guy comes, take good care of him."

Dingkong smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss, I'll teach the new guy the rules."

Pick also said, "Boss, we'll educate him well!"

"Uh-huh, I believe you can do it, and I'm looking forward to it."

Karun nodded and walked out of the funeral home. After sitting in Alfred's car, he opened the gift box, which contained ten thousand order vouchers. After counting them, he handed them directly to Alfred.

Alfred took the order vouchers and put them in his briefcase.

"The box is nice. Don't lose it. Keep it to put Vecole's head in."

"Okay, young master. By the way, young master, where are we going next?"

Karun touched his ring and turned back to his original appearance, saying, "We're going to get our ID cards."

With a sigh, Karun said, "We have to hurry. If I don't get my god servant ID card soon, I'll be promoted to judge."
