"Just suspicion?"

"Yes."

"I will report this detail."

"Okay, Captain."

Karun turned and returned to his suite.

On the bed, Vani and Peiluo were still asleep. Peiluo kicked the blanket to the bottom of the bed. She liked to sleep on her stomach. Vani was wearing a silk nightgown, which looked better on her than not wearing anything.

They must have heard the previous ringtone, but since Karun was on duty, as long as he didn't wake them up, they would immediately fall back asleep. This is a kind of trust in teammates.

Of course, their current sleeping positions are a manifestation of deeper trust.

Karun stood by the bed, frowning.

Now, looking back at the scene where he pushed the dining car in before, many details could be noticed as deliberate.

He was the one who wanted to drink with himself, but he only took a sip of wine, as if deliberately performing to show himself that he had drunk;

After drinking, he immediately lost interest in chatting and said he was "tired."

However, this suspicion is actually useless.

You can understand that he is deliberately disguising himself to gain the trust of the upper levels of the Order of the Gods.

You can also understand that he knows that the upper levels still have some suspicions of him, so he deliberately uses this method to prove his innocence.

The truth is probably only known by the space worm.

Karun gently twisted his neck. He suddenly felt fortunate that he did not have a particularly strong sense of belonging to the Order of the Gods. So, just do his job well. Let the upper levels worry about the things they have to weigh.

Completing the task safely and earning points is the right way.

Bending down, picking up the blanket, covering Peiluo and Vani again, Karun sat back on the sofa and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the coffee table placed by Vani, playing with it in his hand.

Unconsciously, most of the tobacco in this cigarette had been shaken out by Karun. At this time, the dawn light also shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Karun picked up the microphone next to him. There was no sound in the microphone, which meant that he could not make a call. But soon, Karun heard the sound of picking up the microphone:

"Hello, hotel front desk, what do you need, sir?"

"Breakfast."

"Is it for three people?"

"Yes."

"Sir, do you have any special requirements?"

"Bring some more cigarettes."

"Okay, sir, please wait. It will be delivered to you soon."

Peiluo taught him to ask for cigarettes. They would bring clothes, but they would never bring extra cigarettes. The expenses incurred during the mission can be reimbursed by the church, so if there is a shortage of cigarettes, the Ankara hotel front desk can deliver them. These expenses are included in the room rate, and the team does not need to settle them themselves.

The cigarettes provided by the Ankara hotel contain some special ingredients that cannot be bought outside. They can be purchased at the store in the Education Building, but must be paid for with points.Just to make it look good, they couldn't call it in boxes, they had to take it one by one.

Not long after, Malo's voice came from the blue shell in Karun's ear:

"Breakfast."

Karun walked out of the room and came to the elevator. After the elevator door opened, Karun saw his little cousin again.

A whole day passed, and except for a brief trip to the bathroom, Richard spent most of his time in the elevator. And this elevator, except for the personnel who needed to enter this floor, no one else would come in.

This means that he spent almost the whole day in a closed space thinking.

But he didn't complain at all. Every time the elevator door opened, he looked energetic. This was not pretending, because Karun couldn't see any dissatisfaction in Richard's micro-expressions.

Putting himself in Richard's shoes, Karun felt that if he had the same family background and was arranged in this position by the team in the first mission, he would definitely feel unfair.

Therefore, his little cousin's thinking and enlightenment were higher than his own.

Richard pushed the breakfast cart out and then turned and went back into the elevator.

Karun picked up a plate and used tongs to pick up some bread and sausages. The breakfast for three people was not divided into three portions. In fact, it could feed six or seven adults.

After putting the plate of food in place, Karun walked over again, pressed the elevator button, and the elevator did not go down, but stayed on the original floor. After the elevator door opened again, Karun walked in with a large glass of orange juice and the plate.

Then the elevator door closed.

Richard looked at Karun with some doubts, and Karun asked, "Haven't you had breakfast?"

"No."

Karun handed him a fork and then sat down. Seeing Richard still standing, Karun waved and said, "Sit down and have breakfast first."

"Oh, okay."

Richard obediently sat down and began to eat.

Karun picked up the large glass of orange juice and took a sip, then handed it to Richard, who also took a big sip.

"Is it boring?" Karun asked.

Richard shook his head and said, "This is my position and responsibility."

"Well, do your job well. The captain and the others will definitely see your attitude and assign you to a better position next time there is a mission."

"But I think guarding the elevator is a very important position, because there are formations outside the hotel, and between each floor and each room inside the hotel, there are formations and prohibitions. Including this elevator, there are also formations.

Therefore, anyone who can enter this floor has to pass through me. This place is very important."

"Yes." Karun nodded.

Richard took a bite of sausage and continued, "When Bishop Born went down, he seemed to be thinking about something, and his mood was a bit hesitant."

"Oh?" Karun was a little surprised. This little cousin was actually actively observing everyone, and most importantly, he was willing to share with himself.This means that he has always regarded himself as a true member of the family.

"Bishop Burn, my grandfather mentioned him before. Although he is only a level one bishop in the York City district, his true influence is not as simple as it seems. The level one bishops in the York City district are probably just a simple identity he currently needs."

There are also distinctions between bishops, which range from level one to nine, but in normal circumstances, this is only related to their treatment.

In fact, the internal structure of the Order of the Gods or most churches generally has a problem: it is difficult to truly sort out positions, realms, responsibilities, and influence in these four aspects.

From God's servant, God's messenger, God's shepherd, to judge, arbiter, and law speaker, followed by district bishops, and then higher-level district bishops. For example, the level of the York City district is equivalent to the district of the Rulun country, while the level of the Wien country district exceeds that of the Rulun country district. The difference here is a bit like the civil servant system in the city and the state.

The reason for the confusion is that many of the realms and official titles of the Order of the Gods overlap. The same title can represent a position and a realm.

In extreme cases, if the contribution is large enough or the status is high enough, even God's servants can serve as judges or even higher positions, because even in the Order of the Gods with the strongest fists, those who are really responsible for fighting are not the majority.

For example, his grandfather Dis has always been a judge, but even Lasma would feel afraid when he arrived in the city where his grandfather was.

Another example is Richard, who is a God's shepherd but has a God's servant certificate. He has reached the realm of a judge, but still holds a God's servant certificate.

Above the law speaker, the realm and position will be decoupled and different expressions will be used.

The reason for this chaotic system is that the development and growth of religion is inherently uneven. It is not like dropping ink into clear water and gradually changing color. It is formed after a long period of constant tug-of-war between various religious forces.

When he first learned about these things, Karun compared this phenomenon to the warlord era, where this big general and that big commander could gather a group of bandits and claim to be colonels or generals. Positions, ranks, territory, and power are almost a mess.

But in any case, being a level one bishop in the York City district is already a high position. If this position is only temporarily used, then what is the true status of Bishop Burn?

After all, he is the one who can send his son to infiltrate the Pamelais church and ultimately become a godson. He must have put in a lot of effort.

"I think Bishop Burn may have some doubts in his heart." Richard said, "And these doubts are much heavier than when he got on the elevator."After seeing his son, Karun became even more worried.

Karun believed in Richard's observations, because even the best actor couldn't act all the time, and Richard's position was so ordinary that people who rode the elevator with him probably wouldn't bother to act tense around him.

"Also, there's the captain."

"The captain?"

"The captain took the elevator up early."

"I see."

It seemed that the captain had been hiding on this floor, waiting for the medicine to take effect.

Search "pawread.com" for the original.

"When the captain left, I could feel that he seemed to be laughing."

"Laughing? Did you hear the captain's voice?"

Karun remembered that the captain was wearing a mask tonight.

"His shoulder was shaking slightly," Richard said.

"Oh, I see."

When he went down, the captain had just finished talking to him, and Karun had told him his suspicions, so why was the captain laughing?

"Your observations are important," Karun said. "If there are other tasks in the future, I'll arrange for you to be by my side."

"Okay," Richard said happily.

After finishing breakfast with Richard, Karun walked out of the elevator and pushed the food cart back to his suite.

The covers were kicked off by two women again.

Because the sunlight had already replaced the dim warm lamp in the room, the scene on the bed could be seen more clearly, and it was whiter.

Fanny was already very white, with her own plumpness.

If you ignored the scars on her body, Pei Nao was also white.

From this angle, the scene on the bed looked like an oil painting, with two women presenting different beauty and textures.

Karun put his hand on the food cart and admired it seriously for a while.

Since it looked good, he could look at it normally, and they didn't mind anyway.

Pei Nao opened her eyes, sat up, and even stretched lazily towards Karun. "I smell the smell of food."

"Yeah, wash up and have breakfast," Karun said.

Pei Nao got out of bed naked and walked to the food cart, asking, "Can I pretend to just wake up and be dazed, and kiss you first? That way, I can start my day's work with a good mood."

"Then my good mood for the day will be affected."

"Why?"

"Don't you know how bad your breath is when you wake up? And you smoke and drink."

"Hmph...hehehe!"

Pei Nao glared angrily at Karun.

"Karun, the thing I regret the most now is not having sex with you on the sofa in the captain's office when we first met!"

"Too bad, you don't have that chance now."

Pei Nao turned around, bent over and shook her hips twice, saying:

"But I don't mind if you leave a few red marks on me with the big sword Miss Ophelia gave you.""Vani sat up from the bed and laughed, 'Oh, is the game of saving our wounded pride and shattered charm starting so early in the morning?'

Peina said to Vani, 'It's not just me who needs saving. Haha, I didn't see you wearing this kind of underwear last time. It seems like you care too.'

'Let's have breakfast. There's a welcome banquet in the morning. Since we're in a silent state, the banquet must be simple. There won't be many people participating, and we probably won't even have the qualification to eat.' Karun said.

Peina agreed, 'You're right.'

Vani nodded, 'That's right.'

The two women went to the washroom to freshen up, while Karun sat on the sofa, leaning back and looking out the window. For some reason, the image of Yunes appeared involuntarily in his mind.

Vani came out of the washroom, eating breakfast and laughing, 'Are you thinking about your girlfriend?'

'No, I'm thinking about what happened last night.'

Peina came out of the washroom and scolded, 'Damn it, do we not even have the ability to make you think of your girlfriend anymore?'

Karun replied, 'After all, we're not in the same age group.'

'F**k!'

'F**k!'

The two women cursed together. Vani raised her middle finger at Karun, while Peina fiercely bit off a sausage.

Next, they waited.

At half past ten, Karun, Peina, and Vani knocked on Delius's door. Delius opened the door, wearing his godly robe from yesterday. He looked very good and had a solemn and sacred aura. It was hard to imagine that he had that appearance last night.

The welcome banquet was held in the small hall. Karun, Peina, and Vani entered the banquet hall, but there were only three long tables in the hall.

One table was occupied by Delius and other red-robed bishops, and the other two tables were occupied by the people Delius brought and the negotiators from the Order of the Gods respectively.

Karun and the others could only stand on the edge, not even having a chair to sit on. They could only act as a background wall. Fortunately, they had eaten a very full breakfast.

As the matter of the merger of the two churches was involved, both sides seemed to have a small number of guests. However, considering that the results of the negotiations would be evaluated by the true high-level officials of both sides, everything in front of them seemed normal again.

There were no long speeches or statements of feelings. This banquet was held very quickly, and it seemed that everyone was just going through the motions.

After the banquet, the negotiations that were originally scheduled to start at two o'clock in the afternoon were brought forward to start immediately.

The conference room was not large, but this time there was no isolation treatment because no one could leave the hotel before the negotiations were over. Therefore, there was no need for confidentiality. "The specific content of the contract didn't need to be kept secret, because if the negotiation was successful, the Pamireth Church would merge into the Order Church, and they would become one family. If the negotiation failed, the Pamireth Church would be wiped out by the Order, leaving only one family.

During the last meeting, Fanny and Ning Le were constantly dozing off, feeling mentally tortured. They were afraid that they would snore in their sleep and asked Karun to pinch their thighs to remind them.

But this time, they didn't feel tired at all. They sat up straight and listened attentively, as if they suddenly became deeply concerned about the future of the church.

First, Darius, representing the Pamireth Church, stated their demands. In summary, the Pamireth Church would publicly claim to belong to the Order Church, revise the records of myths in the doctrine, and maintain consistency with the Order Church in dealing with secular and other church relationships.

On the side of the Order Church, Leon's grandfather, the Archbishop of York City, put forward their demands. In summary, the Order Church would take over all the missionary stations of the Pamireth Church, the doctrine content must be based on "The Light of Order", and the Pamireth Church's doctrine would be added as an extra volume;

The administrative institutions of the Pamireth Church would be dismantled and incorporated into various departments of the Order Church, with a special emphasis on the space magic and space artifact creation that the Pamireth Church excelled at, and a separate department would be established under the Order Church for the Pamireth Church;

The Messenger Space must open its doors to the Order Temple, with the two spaces constructing permanent teleportation arrays, and the operation of the arrays would be controlled by the Order Church.

The demands of both parties were quite different, like heaven and earth.

However, just like doing business, you have to start with a high price, and then there's room for bargaining.

Next, the two sides began a fierce quarrel and debate, throwing pens and paper at each other, with no semblance of a priest's image, even less civilized than a fishmonger's aunt arguing in the market.

At the climax of the quarrel:

The three negotiating priests on the side of the Pamireth Church took off their robes, knelt on the ground, and shouted, "If this is the case, I'd rather die than submit!"

The two judges of the Order Church rolled up their sleeves and shouted, "What's the point of merging? Just go straight to the Messenger Space and destroy the Pamireth!"

However, both sides were pulled back by their respective negotiating teams, and then continued to argue.

At first, Karun was also listening with great interest,

But looking at Darius, who was leading the delegation to fight for the best treatment and retention rights for the Order Church, he remembered that he had shouted in front of him: Are you doubting my loyalty to the Order?

Sigh, Karun silently sighed. What is old Sama doing now?

Probably,

Discussing the details of his funeral with Alfred.
