Chapter 162 – Learned, fight!

Karun put away the two shovels on the ground, returned them to the hearse, and sat in the driver's seat. He pulled down the rearview mirror and looked at himself.

"Presentable?"

He wiped the mirror with a finger and looked at himself again.

"Is this presentable?"

Karun looked out of the car window. It had to be said that the cemetery at night was indeed a place that could bring inner peace to people because the people lying here were all at peace.

After sitting for a while and checking the time, Karun started the hearse and drove towards the cemetery gate.

When he arrived at the cemetery gate, he saw the old administrator sitting there cooking macaroni with a small stove.

"Not sleeping yet?" Karun greeted him.

The old man glared at Karun irritably. "If I sleep, who will close the gate?"

"It's almost dawn."

The cemetery opened during the day and closed at night.

"Humph, the dead are more punctual than the living."

"You are really responsible."

"If you come here in the middle of the night again, I will probably be lying inside soon. Do you know how hard it is for an old man like me to get a good night's sleep?"

"I'm sorry, there won't be a next time."

"No, next time you have to pay more!"

"Okay."

The old man smiled and stirred the macaroni in the pot with a spoon while casually asking, "It's a pity that you have to hurry back, otherwise I would invite you for breakfast, oh no, it should be supper now."

Karun opened the car door, got out of the car, and came to the small stove. "I'm really hungry."

"..." The old man.

The first pot of macaroni was divided into half for the old man and half for Karun.

"Ketchup, please."

"Do you have chili sauce?"

"Only ketchup, everything else is heresy."

"Okay."

Each had a plate and a fork and began to eat.

Soon, both of them finished their plates.

The old man smiled and asked, "Are you full?"

Karun shook his head. "No."

The old man went back inside and brought out another bag of macaroni to put into the pot while saying, "I can tell that you plan to eat up the entrance fee you just gave me."

"Do you have a refrigerator in your house?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll have someone send over some meatballs and sliced meat for hot pot next time. Be prepared for the next time."

"You'll have someone send them?" The old man rubbed his chin. "Aren't you a servant of the Paravaro family?"

Karun shook his head. "Not really."

"Are you his son-in-law?"

"Uh..."

The old man slapped his thigh and laughed, "Paravaro's son-in-law, tut, you look quite decent."

Karun helplessly picked up a spoon and stirred the macaroni in the pot.

"What's your name?"

"Karun. And you?"

"They all call me the Pied Piper, Saman."

"Oh, the macaroni is ready."

"Do you want to know why they call me the 'Pied Piper'?"

"No, because I don't want to listen to music right now."

"That's your loss, it's your ears and your inner loss, I guarantee it!"

"Yes, I believe you."

Karun started to scoop out the macaroni.

"Leave me some, are you going to eat everything? Damn!"They finished eating the macaroni from two pots and felt satisfied.

"I want to call the funeral home."

"Go ahead, and bring my flute out as well."

Karun got up and walked into the administrator's room, picked up the phone, and dialed the number for the funeral home.

"Hello, young master?"

"It's me."

"Young master, where are you now?"

"Qingteng Cemetery."

"Young master, should I come and pick you up now? I'll bring Dingkem with me, and he'll be responsible for driving the hearse back. I'll take you home directly."

"Okay, that's fine."

Karun thought Alfred's arrangement was great.

After hanging up the phone, Karun scanned the room and found a vertical flute on a desk. He picked it up, walked out onto the steps outside, and handed it to Saman.

Old Saman picked up the flute and put it to his lips. He was about to play it when he put it down again and said to Karun, "Young man, I think you should learn to respect your elders more."

"Like how?"

"Like when an elder wants to play the flute, you should say you're looking forward to it first."

"But I don't want to listen."

"Hey, don't you think it's boring?"

"Not boring, I just want to sit here for a while."

"You're not bored, but they will be."

"Who?"

"Everyone here. There are so many people gathered here, waiting to hear me play. It's everyone's morning routine and our custom here. No one is ever late!"

As he spoke, Old Saman observed Karun and saw that he was not "scared" at all. He frowned and became angry, saying, "I forgot you're in this line of work. How could you be afraid of ghost stories?"

At this point, Karun's gaze suddenly became deep, and he said in a calm tone, "Shh, listen, they're talking."

For some reason, Old Saman suddenly shuddered.

Then, Karun laughed.

Old Saman knew he had been tricked and was so angry that he immediately stood up and raised the flute to hit Karun. Karun took the opportunity to get on the hearse and closed the door.

"Get off!"

Karun shook his head.

"Get off!"

Karun smiled and took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it directly to Old Saman.

Old Saman took the cigarettes and grumbled a few words to Karun, but he still didn't have the heart to continue his outburst. He sat back on the steps and smoked his cigarette.

As he smoked, he wondered why he had been scared just now.

Karun sat in the car and rested with his eyes closed.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a car came from ahead. Karun opened his eyes and saw that Alfred had arrived. Karun got out of the car, waved to Old Saman, who was still sitting on the steps, and said, "Let's go."

Old Saman turned his head and ignored him.

Dingkem got out of the car and respectfully bowed to Karun.

"The car keys are up there."

"Okay, I know. You should go back and rest."

Karun got into the car, and Alfred turned the car around and drove straight to the apartment without waiting for Dingkem's hearse.

...

"Young master, I don't think you need to worry too much about this. The fact that the captain noticed your unusualness proves that you are an unusual person, doesn't it?""I don't care about that anymore. What I care about is that I have no other choice but to sit there properly."

"So, that's what the young master was thinking."

"When Dingcom was pushed down by Itis's bodyguard, I saw it, but I couldn't do anything."

"They're all dead, not a single one left. That's the consequence of angering the young master!"

"Alfred."

"Yes?"

"Don't use force like that next time, or it will sound like sarcasm."

"You could have signaled me, young master. I was waiting for your signal. I know that Dingcom and Pick may be useless, but they represented the face of our funeral society at that time."

Karen shook his head. "It's boring. If you don't know how to fight, you will feel powerless."

"Puerh and Kevin's two magic scrolls should be ready soon. The young master will be able to fight soon."

"Okay. By the way, go to the hotel tomorrow and find a new place for Mrs. Lake to stay. The funeral society's backyard can be renovated. It's inconvenient to run back and forth."

"Yes, young master. I know. The funeral society's backyard is quite large, and it's a waste to use so much space as a warehouse."

"When those two scrolls are ready, I'll try to practice first. If I can master them quickly, I should go back to the Allen Manor during this time. Mr. Bede reminded me once before, and Captain Neo 'reminded' me again tonight, hehe."

"Young master, are you thinking of Miss Eunice?"

"I miss home."

...

When he returned home, the sky was already bright. After taking a shower and entering the bedroom, Karen saw Puerh sleeping soundly in bed, and Kevin snoring in his dog bed. Karen realized for the first time that dogs could snore so loudly.

The cats and dogs at home were indeed exhausted these days. Karen first covered Kevin's head with a blanket, and his snoring immediately decreased a lot.

Then, Karen picked up Puerh and put her next to him on the pillow. He then got into bed, pulled up the quilt, and covered both of them.

Rest.

...

Karen woke up in the afternoon because he slept too late the night before. As soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, he saw Puerh riding Kevin at a sprinting speed coming towards him.

"We did it, Karun!"

"Woof!"

Karen pushed open the study door and saw two exquisite scrolls on the desk.

"I'll start practicing after I wash up." Karen smiled.

"Oh my god, are you crazy? Practicing at home!"

"What's wrong?"

"I mean, if you don't control your strength well, you might destroy the house."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Of course. These are the two most suitable magic scrolls that Stupid Dog and I carefully selected for you!"

One was the nine-level faith of the family's belief, and the other was a suppressed evil god from the past.

This kind of teaching power, and it was two against one, was indeed luxurious.

"Okay, I'll wash up first."

Karen walked to the bathroom and started to prepare to brush his teeth.Puerh rode on Kevin to the entrance of the washroom and said, "I thought you would be so excited that you would just drive out to find a place, but I didn't expect you to insist on washing up first. Karun, you are always so proper."

Karun stopped and looked at Puerh.

Puerh tilted her head in confusion, and Kevin also tilted his head in confusion.

"I've been sensitive to the word 'proper' lately."

"Oh, sorry, I didn't know."

Puerh laughed, and Kevin also laughed.

After washing up, Karun found Xiao John sitting on the sofa with a box on the coffee table in front of him.

"Why didn't you go to school?"

"Today is the weekend," Xiao John said.

"Oh." Karun nodded.

"Master, I made some pies in the kitchen. I'll pack your clothes and luggage now."

"Luggage?"

"Yes, Mr. Alfred said you're going on a trip to visit relatives tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Okay, you can pack first."

Hili walked into the bedroom.

Karun walked into the kitchen and took a bite of a pie. It tasted good. Hili already knew his taste and didn't put too much sugar or sauce.

"Where are we going to practice?" Karun asked.

Xiao John spoke up, "Mr. Alfred said the woods near the sausage factory last time are suitable for practice."

"What about the car? Alfred is out."

"Master, Mr. Alfred said he borrowed Mr. Aleier's car to go out today, and he left our car behind. The car keys are here."

Xiao John opened the box on the coffee table. There were not only car keys but also a handgun inside.

"What's the gun for?"

"Alfred said he found Mr. Gross's gun yesterday, and there are bullets inside. You can try it out, Master."

Puerh said, "Oh, what a thoughtful radio monster."

Since Alfred had arranged this before he left, he must have told them about last night's incident. That's why Puerh intentionally said the word "proper" at the entrance of the washroom earlier.

"Let's go then."

Xiao John smiled and followed them with a backpack and the box. He had to go because the dog and cat paws couldn't pull the trigger.

So Karun drove with Xiao John and the two pets to the woods. After parking the car on the side of the road, they walked deeper into the woods.

After finding a secluded spot, Xiao John sat down and put the box with the gun aside. He opened his backpack and took out several bottles of water and a thermos with ice inside.

Karun picked up a scroll.

Puerh said, "This is the Armor of the Sea God."

"How do I use it?"

"Input your spiritual power into it, and when it reaches a certain level, it will work. It's that simple. After all, the stupid dog and I can't set any restrictions now."

Karun nodded and input his spiritual power into the scroll in his hand. Soon, the scroll began to glow, and a force of consciousness was seeking to enter his brain."Don't resist it, that's the spirit imprint of a stupid dog."

"Woof!"

Karun released his mental guard and tried to communicate with the consciousness. Soon, his consciousness entered a brief darkness and then he found himself standing in a white space. There were formation patterns under his feet, evolving images in front of him, and a set of shining blue armor above his head.

At this moment, Karun finally understood why he needed to use a scroll to imprint the spirit. This kind of inheritance couldn't be conveyed through "language" or "text", or even through movies. It had to be experienced in person to truly understand the profound meaning.

This was the difference between ordinary magic and true advanced magic. Not only was it difficult to learn, but it was even harder to teach. Therefore, this kind of advanced magic was bound to be rare and precious.

Moreover, Karun understood that if there was any mistake in the inheritance process, the entire magic would be ruined. Fortunately, he trusted his two pets' professional skills.

"Okay, let's begin. Use the power of light to transform and copy."

...

In the forest, Karun stood with his eyes closed, emitting a faint white light.

"How long do you think he will take?" Puerh asked Kevin.

"Woof."

"Five hours? Then I won't have time to learn my Dark Moon Blade today."

"Woof."

"You mean two of us can finish it in five hours?"

"Woof."

"That's still a bit slow. Be bold and finish it in one hour each. That's the treatment a genius like Dis deserves."

Little John placed two cups of water and two bags of dried fruit in front of Puerh and Kevin respectively. Then, he squatted next to them and asked, "Um, can I learn this too?"

Puerh turned her head to look at him and asked, "Do you believe in light?"

Little John was stunned for a moment, then immediately patted his chest and said, "Of course, I believe in the existence of light!"

"Good." Puerh took a sip of water and nodded, "Unfortunately, you don't have the power of light attribute in your body."

"..." Little John.

"Woof."

"Puerh Miss, what did Kevin say?"

"He said you can go to believe in the Light God Church."

"Can I? Can I really do that?"

"Woof."

"He said you can, and then the power of light will instantly purify you, this little demon."

"..." Little John.

"If you want to practice, you can ask the radio monster."

"Mr. Alfred?"

"Yeah, he seems to have become much stronger recently." Puerh looked at Kevin, "I didn't feel wrong, did I?"

"Woof." Kevin nodded.

"Sometimes I really think it's nonsense, but the problem is, he actually came up with a way."

At this moment, blood lines appeared on Karun's body, and after spreading outwards, the white light surrounding him became even more dazzling.

"Woof, woof!""Yes, yes, I know, I know, this is even more ridiculous. A priest who is just one step away from being a judge can actually use the power of the family's belief system.

Suddenly, I feel like the radio fairy's explanation makes a lot more sense."

"Woof."

Little John reverently said, "Young Master, are you a genius?"

"Do you know what despair is?" Puerh asked.

"I don't know." Little John shook his head.

"Then it's a genius standing on the shoulders of giants."

"That sounds exaggerated."

"No, it's not exaggerated at all. One divine fragment is enough for a family to receive the gospel from the Order of the Gods. What about three divine fragments? Dis put the entire family's bloodline on him."

"Woof!"

"Oh, I know, and your repaired body."

"Woof!"

"Well, there's also his special soul, after all, he's the one who can push out the evil gods like dogs."

"Oh no, I take back what I just said, this is a group of giants stacking ladders just to lift him up."

As soon as the words fell, the white light on Karun's body instantly transformed into blue, and a full-body armor appeared on him, which was still "flowing," revealing a mysterious aura.

Puerh exclaimed, "The Armor of the Sea God, it looks really good."

"Woof! Woof!"

"I know, because Karun is originally good-looking."

Karun opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, and looked at the armor on his body. At this moment, he had a very fulfilling sense of security, and he could feel that his body seemed to be particularly light.

He subconsciously jumped, and under the effect of the Armor of the Sea God, he actually jumped more than six meters high. When he landed, because he didn't maintain his balance, he was supposed to fall down, but an extra water column protruded from the armor and helped him maintain his balance.

Puerh turned her head to look at Little John, "How long?"

Little John looked at his watch, "Half an hour."

"Meow!" Puerh exclaimed excitedly.

Karun started to run, and he found that his running speed had also been greatly improved. The armor on his body not only did not add weight to himself, but also formed a thrust according to his consciousness.

Finally, Karun stopped and looked at Little John, "Try the pistol."

Little John opened the box and took out the pistol, his hands trembling.

Karun walked over, the original blue glove on his right hand faded away, and Karun reached out and took the pistol from Little John, aiming at his left arm:

"Bang!"

You should know that Karun is a very cautious person. The reason why he dared to experiment like this was because he had absolute confidence in the defense of the Armor of the Sea God.

Sure enough, the bullet did not penetrate the armor, but it did not burst out either. The position of the bullet head was originally red, and a layer of ripples appeared on the surface of the armor where it was embedded. It was still spinning rapidly at first, but soon the red disappeared, and then it fell to the ground;

And the position of the bullet hole quickly recovered, leaving no trace at all.

Most importantly, there was no vibration in his arm, and the force was completely offset by the water flow outside.Puerh patted Karun's paw. "Congratulations, Karun. You don't have to be afraid of firearms anymore, but I have to remind you that there are guns with special bullets in the Church that have penetration and demon-breaking effects, so..."

"I can dodge them."

"Well, yes, you've always been... cautious."

"Next up, the Dark Moon Blade."

"Don't you need a break?"

"No."

"Okay, here's the scroll."

Karun picked up the second scroll and, before injecting spiritual power into it, said, "I don't know why, but when I copy and learn from it, I feel like I'm reading in my grandfather's study."

Puerh said, "So now you understand what our family's believers often say, 'Blessed by the Ancestors.'"

Karun's Sea God Armor fell off, and he closed his eyes and infused spiritual power into the scroll.

In a moment, the white light reappeared on his body.

Puerh reached out and patted Kevin's head, saying, "Look at our guy here, doesn't he look very promising?"

"Woof." Kevin nodded.

"So you should give up on your idea of becoming a demon god. Maybe you can become a real god in the future. Look, even the Radio Fairy is ahead of you."

"Woof?"

"Are you asking me?" Puerh wagged her tail. "I'll be his symbiotic spirit in the future. None of you can keep up with me."

Little John had been staring at his watch the whole time.

Finally, the white light on Karun's body turned into a dark red color.

Little John immediately shouted, "Fifteen minutes!"

Puerh nodded numbly. "So the reason why the previous lesson took half an hour was because you spent a lot of time getting familiar with this learning mode."

The dark red color covered Karun's body, and two red lights that looked like whips and swords appeared in the palms of his hands. When they touched the ground, the withered leaves on the ground were instantly cut and burned.

Karun lifted his hand, and gradually, the dark red color on his body stabilized, like two curved knives resting on his arms.

His body began to retreat, and for a moment, it sounded like there was wind whistling in his ears. He was retreating too fast, and his back hit the tree trunk directly.

"Bang!"

"Cough, cough..."

He felt a little suffocated.

"Turns out the Dark Moon Blade also has agility added to it, and the agility effect is much more obvious than the Sea God Armor."

Karun closed his eyes, and the Dark Moon Blade continued to exist, while the Sea God Armor reappeared on his body.

Then, Karun spread his arms and raised the two red curved knives. He began to run.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

After sprinting all the way, Karun directly cut the two rows of trees in half.

Puerh was astonished. "Isn't he tired? The duration is so long."

"Woof!"

Puerh slapped Kevin's head. "No vulgar language!"

"..." Kevin.

Finally, Karun stopped, and the branches that fell were automatically bounced back by the Sea God Armor.Karun walked towards Puerh, the Sea God Armor and Dark Moon Blade on his body completely dissipated. Although he was tired and panting with his hands on his knees, sweating profusely, he didn't feel dizzy or torn in his head.

Puerh and Kevin were right. These were indeed the two most suitable spells for him now, even more so than the Punishment Spear.

John handed him a glass of ice water. Karun drank it all and handed the glass back to John before lying down with his hands behind his back.

Although he was exhausted, he felt fulfilled, especially the sense of security that came with mastering his power. The fear and anxiety that had been haunting him since he first opened his eyes in this world were finally dissipating.

"I finally know how to fight."
