Everyone took off their masks and introduced themselves to Karun. He tried hard to remember their names.

The Order Whip team consisted of one captain and twelve members. Karun felt like this was in line with the Order God and his twelve Order Knights.

After a brief meeting, Neo and the others left the room first. They would continue to protect in secret, even though they were in the Ankara Hotel. Most successful assassinations happened in places where people thought they were safe.

Karun, Peina, and Vanni would stay in this suite, waiting for Miss Ophelia's call from the opposite door.

"Who needs a bath?" Peina asked.

"I do," Vanni said.

Peina looked at Karun and said, "Don't you need one? You'll be attending the banquet tonight. Let's take a shower together. It'll be faster."

Karun replied, "You two go ahead. I'm afraid they'll call someone from the other side later."

"Okay."

Peina and Vanni went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Then, with a "clatter," the wall between the bathroom and the living room was pulled open from the inside, leaving only a glass partition with high visibility.

Karun stood up with a glass of wine and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the sea view with his back to the bathroom.

Soon, Peina finished her shower and stood beside Karun, saying, "The sea view here isn't beautiful. It doesn't have the feeling of a sunny beach, only coldness."

"Do we have holidays, like vacations?" Karun asked.

Peina was standing naked with clear muscular lines and visible scars, giving the feeling of a sculpture. "We do have holidays. When we were in Semporna, we went on vacation for many years. You're unlucky because we just finished a long holiday and just entered the real work state."

"I also like to be fulfilled," Karun said.

"How did you find out about Miss Ophelia's identity?" Peina asked.

"Her clothes have a pattern on the left chest, using the number of crescents to represent the family's status," Karun replied."Oh, I thought it was just a pattern." Pei Mo laughed. "You know, I like people who use their brains."

"Pei Mo, your clothes."

Fanny threw Pei Mo's clothes over. Pei Mo, who had already dried herself, began to put on her clothes.

"Karun, give me a cigarette too."

Karun went to give Fanny a cigarette. Although she was wearing clothes, she only wore the top half of them, and her long and plump thighs were very eye-catching. Unlike Pei Mo, there didn't seem to be many scars on her body.

"How do I look? Pretty?" Fanny asked with a smile after lighting her cigarette.

"Um, very pretty."

"Compared to her?"

"You're a gentle oil painting, and she's a delicate sculpture."

"Hehehe." Pei Mo laughed.

Fanny said, "What I mean is, compared to your girlfriend or fiancée, how does she look?"

"She's younger and prettier than both of you."

"..." Fanny.

"..." Pei Mo.

Pei Mo used her fingertips to extinguish the cigarette butt and asked, "Do you know what words hurt the most?"

"The truth."

"Damn it!"

Pei Mo angrily punched the sofa.

Fanny raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't you know that women are like fine wine? The real good taste comes from the precipitation of the years."

"But I'm still young, and I haven't reached the age to drink old wine."

"..." Fanny.

"I can start by drinking some light and lively wine, listening to some light and lively music. I think when I'm older and want to drink some flavorful wine, the woman by my side will have gone through the precipitation of the years just like me. I enjoy this kind of consistent pace. There's no need to rush to see inappropriate scenery at an inappropriate age."

"Damn it!"

Fanny also cursed.

The two women quickly put on their clothes and entered work mode, still a bit angry.

Karun felt like he had found a way to deal with workplace harassment.

To be exact, the internal atmosphere of this small team was not a traditional workplace, and he was too cautious and had too many concerns when he first came into contact with it. Here, it was a group of hunting dogs who had thrown off the shackles of society. As Captain Neo said, everyone here was not clean. Perhaps the reason why the captain kept saying he was "appropriate" was because he had been with these team members for too long and was no longer accustomed to normal "appropriateness".If you disguise yourself as a little white rabbit, they will only bare their teeth at you and can't help but play with you. When you show your teeth to them, they feel comfortable because they are used to this way of interaction.

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Karun walked over and opened the door, it was the middle-aged maid.

"Miss wants to find someone to learn about the customs of Wien. Who is suitable?"

Fanny didn't speak, and Peiluo didn't speak either. The unsuitable person knew to shut up at this time.

"I'll come."

"Okay, Mr. Karun."

Karun followed the maid into the opposite room.

Peiluo said, "Could it be that our new member really got the Miss of the Dark Moon family?"

Fanny said, "Love with an unequal status is doomed to be a tragedy."

"I don't like what you said. Anything is possible."

"Impossible. He will probably explain his slip of the tongue at the pier in person."

"Yeah, if I didn't know he had a girlfriend, I would have thought he didn't like women. Damn, he just called us old!"

"From the perspective of his girlfriend, he is still a reliable person." Fanny smiled, "It's rare to see someone so steadfast in love. The last one was..."

Fanny stopped talking, and Peiluo's expression also dimmed.

Because the last one was... the captain.

...

Ophelia had already taken off her armor. The original "Golden Barbie" finally returned to her original appearance, a very dignified and elegant young girl.

When Karun came in, she should have just taken a shower and was sitting in a position next to the floor-to-ceiling window, using a small file to file her nails. Her nails were not long, probably due to martial arts.

That set of armor was not light;

And that sword, when she controlled the sword against the back of her hand, Karun sensed a subtle grasp of strength. This meant that this young girl was not simply "dressing up", her own strength was very powerful.

Most importantly, the seven crescent marks on that set of armor meant that it was her exclusive armor.

"Miss, hello."

"Um." Ophelia looked at Karun and smiled, asking, "Do you want to drink ice water?"

There were several glasses placed in front of her, as well as a pot of water plus a thermos, all filled with ice cubes.

"My stomach is not good. The doctor advised me not to drink anything too cold.""Oh, I see. That's a shame. I really like drinking ice water because it calms me down quickly. Xinla, please pour a cup of tea for Mr. Karun."

"Sure, miss."

The middle-aged maid's name was Xinla.

"Please have a seat."

"Thank you, miss."

Karun sat down in front of Ophelia and said, "Miss, I need to apologize to you for what happened at the pier. I had little knowledge of the culture and traditions of Dark Moon Island, which caused a misunderstanding."

"Hehehe." Ophelia shook her head. "It's okay. I'm not angry. After all, what woman would be angry at a young and handsome man confessing his love to her? I find it amusing because I know Mr. Karun must have misunderstood the meaning of that sentence."

"I'm truly sorry."

"Okay, let's put this matter behind us. By the way, Mr. Karun, besides reading, what do you like to do?"

"Horseback riding."

"Oh, is Mr. Karun good at riding?"

"No, I'm just a beginner. My fiancée is good at it."

"Hmph, you're stingy." Ophelia picked up a piece of ice and chewed it loudly. "Oh dear, I suddenly feel a bit disappointed, like when a man sees a beautiful woman and she starts talking about her fiancé."

At this moment, the maid Xinla handed a cup of tea to Karun and said, "Mr. Karun, you really took a beautiful misunderstanding seriously. After all, who would take it as real and take it to heart? Hehe."

Karun heard the slight sarcasm in the maid's words, implying that he actually thought the miss would be interested in him. After all, the Dark Moon family feared the Order of the Gods, but they wouldn't fear a member of the Order of the Whip. The difference in status between the two sides was too great to make this misunderstanding come true.

Ophelia glanced at her maid but didn't say anything.

Karun smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I took it too seriously."

"I find the climate in Vienna quite humid. I don't really like the environment here. Dark Moon Island is better, with spring-like weather all year round."

"That sounds like a wonderful place. I would love to visit."

"Dark Moon Island is off-limits to outsiders, Mr. Karun," Xinla reminded him.

"Yes, yes, my mistake."Ophelia frowned slightly and said, "Darkmoon Island always welcomes true friends to visit. Xinla, go see if they've arrived and bring my books."

"Yes, Miss."

The maid left.

Ophelia looked at Karun and said, "She's my mother's personal maid. She's been at home for too long and has become a bit...you know." Ophelia made a twisting motion with her finger. "But she's just doing her job, like our team protecting your safety."

"I'm actually more curious about the Allen family. Do you know how they're doing now? I want to hear some specific news."

"In response to Miss, I had some contact with the Allen family because of my previous purchasing work. The situation of the Allen family is not very good because their family bloodline has been weak for several generations."

"Oh, I see. That's a shame. In the diary of their ancestor, he described Miss Allen as a true genius girl."

"This is a fate that a family cannot escape. There will be peaks and valleys, it's a law."

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

"A law..."

"Just like when they decline, Miss, you came, right?"

Karun didn't mind helping the Allen family a little more.

"Yes." Ophelia nodded. "You have a lot of philosophy in your words."

"I'm flattered, Miss."

Next, Ophelia talked to Karun about the customs of Vein. Karun's previous job was to chat, so he could continue the topic with her.

Then, when Fanny rang the doorbell, indicating that the dinner time was in an hour, Ophelia needed to prepare her dress, and Karun said goodbye and went back to his room to take a shower.

Later, Ophelia entered the banquet hall with the female warrior and maid, followed by Karun and Peina. Fanny led the way. The banquet hall was in the hotel, and the scene was grand, with many guests.

In addition, the guests here could no longer be described as "privileged." Their strength and influence had long surpassed the traditional privileged class. Even describing them as "privileged" was an offense to them.

Ophelia kept toasting and chatting with some high-ranking members of the Order of the Gods, and Karun followed behind.The reason for the arrangement of personal security and the fact that Ophelia can only have two accompanying attendants is because there may be hidden assassins within the delegation, not necessarily enemies, but possibly power struggles within the family. Separating Sophia and her delegation is also for her safety. Even if she dies, she cannot die on the territory of the Order of the Gods. They can go back and die after the meeting.

Three bishops from the York City area also attended the scene. Two of them only said a few words and left, while the other stayed for a long time to receive guests and led Ophelia on stage to address the guests tonight.

Karun and Peinao don't have to look like cold-faced bodyguards, because it's not good for the atmosphere. Their expressions should be as calm as possible, while also being able to eat some food and drink.

"This blood sausage is delicious." Peinao picked up a blood sausage for Karun.

Karun took a bite and it was incredibly delicious without any fishy smell.

As a person who is good at cooking, he perceives that this ingredient has exceeded his original knowledge.

"What is it made of?"

"The blood of a demon beast." Peinao smiled.

"Oh, no wonder it's so good."

So, the real luxury class eats this?

"If it's delicious, eat more. It's rare to find outside, and it's very expensive to buy with points."

"Yes, you're right."

Karun personally picked up several blood sausages and put them in his own plate, and then he and Peinao continued to follow Ophelia while nibbling on the blood sausages behind her.

"There are some more expensive ones. When Miss walks over there, I'll help you get them." Peinao whispered.

"Okay."

In short, this banquet was full of big shots. Karun didn't know anyone, after all, he was just a police auxiliary who happened to appear at the official banquet of the municipal government. And this city is a directly-administered municipality, so who can he know?

But under Peinao's guidance, Karun opened the door to new cuisine. New ingredients mean new combinations and new flavors.

However, it's not easy to get good ingredients. Even though the Ellen Manor is very rich in the secular world, they cannot spend a lot of points to buy precious ingredients to enjoy.

Only the church can have this luxury and heritage.During the banquet, there was another small incident. A handsome man in a white suit invited Miss Ophelia to dance, and she agreed. They danced together, drawing everyone's attention as they looked like a perfect match.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to move around freely, Peina brought some grilled meat for Karun, a large plate which they shared.

"This is roasted wyvern meat, and it's the most tender jaw meat. This plate costs 6,000 order vouchers, and I've already picked it out for us."

"Mm, good." Karun and Peina ate the meat with their heads down.

Soon, Mr. Pavarro's income for the past three months was spent by Karun on food.

At this time, the central dance was only halfway through.

"Who is that guy?" Karun asked Peina.

Before Peina could answer, a maid named Xinla, who had been watching Karun and Peina "feasting," replied, "He is the grandson of the chief bishop of the York City region, and a potential candidate for Miss Ophelia's marriage. He is the one seen under the real lunar eclipse."

The chief bishop? He was even higher than Grandpa Vicole, almost equivalent to the first speaker of the Blue District where he used to live.

Moreover, under the real lunar eclipse, it meant the designated marriage by the Dark Moon?

Karun noticed that Xinla had a slight sneer on her face after introducing the man.

Karun didn't care about it. He was too lazy to argue with a maid. Instead, Peina lightly bumped Karun's arm and quickly made a few mouth movements towards him, although he couldn't understand what she was saying. She was probably helping Karun curse the maid.

Karun smiled and continued to scan for other expensive-looking foods.

Hmph, what bishop's grandson or chief bishop's grandson? If his grandfather wasn't in a coma, he, as the eldest grandson of the Inmores family, was more precious than those grandsons, right?

The banquet ended.

On the way back to their room, Xinla was asked by Ophelia to organize the gift list, while Vani accompanied her. After all, they needed a "local" to sort things out. Peina went to hand over tonight's security procedures with the captain in the dark.

In the end, only Karun and the female warrior were with Ophelia in the elevator.

The elevator door closed and began to ascend.Ophelia shook her wrist and rubbed her neck, saying, "Phew, I'm exhausted. The Order of the Gods is more enthusiastic than I imagined. It seems that the Order of the Gods is very eager to reach a cooperation this time."

"Ahem..." Karun coughed lightly, indicating that he was still there.

"Hehehe." Ophelia laughed and said, "There's nothing we can't say here, Mr. Karun doesn't have to mind. It's an open secret that everyone knows. Don't you know, Mr. Karun?"

"I don't know."

Karun told the truth. Neo seemed to know something, but last time Neo didn't explain clearly and went on to tell the story of the hunting dog and the little duck.

"Oh, but in recent years, it seems that all major churches have been receiving more oracles and divine guidance than before. The gods who have been silent in this era seem to show signs of revival."

Paused for a moment,

Ophelia suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, saying:

"The other one is that there is now a widespread rumor that the God of Order has abandoned the Order of the Gods.

Because the Dark Moon detected it, I believe that other churches have also sensed it. This is probably the cornerstone of the rumor;

That is, when everyone is busy receiving oracles and divine guidance, only the Temple of the God of Order in the Order of the Gods, hehe, was actually blown up by their own divine power."

"..." Karun.
