Chapter 240 – Father and Son

Previously, no one would have expected a noble and great temple elder to come here.

Because the status of the temple elders is too high. Although they are still nominally under the Great Priest of the Order, in reality, when several temple elders sit down to chat, the Great Priest can only sit on the side without even a chair.

They are transcendent, the guardians of the temple, and the recognized beings closest to the God of Order...

They generally do not involve themselves in the mundane affairs of the church. Although there is no explicit rule, it is an unspoken agreement that has been in place for a long time.

When they do appear, it often means that something significant is happening or about to happen in the church.

For example, when the Order of Order declared war on the Order of Reincarnation, the elders of the Order Temple appeared to lead the Knights.

After saluting and worshiping in unison, the hundreds of light clusters in this space fell into silence, waiting for the instructions of the temple elders.

Karun also fell into silence because he had never seen this scene before.

He really didn't know that the mask left by his grandfather could have such an effect in this space. He could only blame this thing for being too advanced. Even if you wanted to explore or test it under normal circumstances, you wouldn't have the conditions. It would suddenly surprise you... or frighten you.

Karun's attention was once again drawn to the black light cluster of Mr. Eisen, which had become somewhat square.

Even without releasing conscious information from the light cluster, just by looking at its current shape, you could guess what kind of emotions Mr. Eisen was feeling.

It was astonishment... confusion... bewilderment... shock.

This change that Karun brought about made a deeply social phobic and autistic patient experience various intense emotions in an instant.

Mr. Eisen recalled the words Captain Neo said to him when he entered the formation circle:

"Take Karun out to see the world."

Alright,

I've seen the world.

Karun immediately calmed his emotions. He knew he needed to stay calm now because if this incident was not handled well, it could easily lead to further problems.

Because he had appeared, a temple elder, inexplicably appearing and leaving, would definitely attract high attention and suspicion.

Although the identities of the people present were "confidential," it was only relatively confidential. The real high-level officials would definitely have a list of the true identities of these people within the church.

And the three teams of the Order Whip participating in this test had public identities.

If you trace these identities, there is a danger of exposing yourself and the captain because the level of this matter is too high. The Order of Order will definitely investigate this matter with the highest specifications, and even the real temple elders may be involved.

Therefore, it is not possible to immediately leave with Mr. Eisen.

Since he couldn't leave immediately, he could only stay and pretend to be a real temple elder who was interested in this matter and wanted to come and see and ask questions.

As long as it doesn't arouse suspicion below, then above, they probably won't suspect anything. For those temple elders, it's just one of them going down with a little curiosity, not a big deal.

Of course, all of this depends on Karun's acting skills. He must play this role well.

In any case, the current scene seemed to be back in the row of townhouses where Lady Molly lived on Mingke Street. That night, he sat on the edge of the bed, watching Alfred and Lady Molly kneeling in front of him, worshiping him as the "evil god" and the "great being."

At that time, he was truly panicked and could only pretend to be calm. This time, after all, he had experience, and during the days he had been away from Rulan and in Wien, he had experienced so much. He had also grown and matured a lot.

After making up his mind, Karun did not break the silence by speaking first but actively floated towards the central area.

Mr. Eisen's black light cluster stayed in place, standing there, or rather, staying there.

Fortunately, this was what Mr. Eisen was best at. Karun didn't dare to ask Mr. Eisen to cooperate with him in the following performance. He stood there, like a servant serving the temple elder, which was enough.

After all, everyone present noticed that the huge and gilded red light cluster came in together with the black light cluster. With the "quality" of the black light cluster, it was enough to be a servant of a temple elder within the church, and it could better highlight the authenticity of the temple elder.

When Karun approached the huge light cluster, all the other light clusters around continued to emit respect and silently stepped back, making way.

The position of this space is a pyramid structure. Originally, the ten red light clusters were at the top, but now it was different. After Karun floated up, all the red light clusters made way, and a new "apex" appeared.

After entering this area, Karun discovered that under the pyramid structure, the boundaries between each layer were clearly visible from top to bottom. The transmission of consciousness between each layer was restricted, and the lower layer could not hear the voice of the upper layer unless the upper layer deliberately released it downward.After settling into his "position," Karun finally spoke up, calm and peaceful, devoid of emotions or panic, as if he were the true master here and the hundreds of light clusters were the guests.

"Get to work."

"Yes."

"Yes."

All the light clusters began to continue their work, even if they temporarily had nothing to do, they pretended to be busy.

Only the light cluster representing Uncle Eisen remained motionless.

Karun spoke again, this time to the dozen or so light clusters beside him:

"How is it going?"

"Reporting to the elder, the test is progressing smoothly."

"Reporting to the elder, everything is proceeding according to the established plan."

"I don't want to hear polite words. I want to know what problems have arisen during the test."

"Reporting to the elder, there have indeed been a few minor issues. For example, out of the three Order Whip squads selected for this test, two squads followed our established procedures perfectly. However, one squad has already withdrawn from the test and is waiting for the next time to be sent back to reality."

"Oh, why?"

"Reporting to the elder, it was my request to include a control group when selecting the test subjects. So they arranged a recognized excellent squad to carry out this mission. They... were indeed outstanding. We took additional measures to remedy the situation, but this squad still couldn't completely immerse themselves in the temporal rift state. Please rest assured, Elder, we will pay attention next time. This kind of squad, no, squads like this will not be included as test subjects anymore."

"Foolish."

For a moment, all the surrounding red light clusters dimmed significantly. Obviously, the direct criticism from the Temple Elder put immense pressure on them.

In fact, due to Dis's influence, Karun had never had a clear understanding of the existence of the "Temple Elder," or more precisely, he couldn't form a clear understanding.

You see, as a medium-sized church, the Pamelith Church only had one existence in their messenger space that could compare to the Temple Elder, even though he had chosen to seal himself due to his confused self-belief.

When golden light appears on your body and you condense a divine fragment, you have entered a new realm that others can never glimpse in their entire lives.

Because of your existence, you are now linked to the word "god."

Karun also realized that the pressure brought about by his words seemed a bit excessive. He wanted to appear as natural as possible, making everyone feel that it was real and comfortable. Only in this way could his sudden appearance provide a reasonable transition. So Karun slowed down his tone:

"For us, beautiful data on paper is meaningless. The purpose of the test is to discover problems."

"We are enlightened."

"We are enlightened."

"We should have more squads like this. Don't be afraid of problems or failure. Even Larnedal didn't achieve real results. Everything should be taken slowly. Even if you are in a hurry, you shouldn't think of taking shortcuts. Just like the path of faith, all the shortcuts you think of are dead ends. Only by being down-to-earth can you always be closest."

"We will follow your teachings."

"We will follow your teachings."

"Elder, according to your suggestion, should we bring this squad back for further testing?"

Karun fell silent.

Continuing the test meant that they could obtain many task rewards in the future. However, the test carried great risks. It was only the initial test, and everything had just begun. Once there were subsequent upgrades, even if his own squad had experienced it once, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't get lost next time or the time after.

This kind of task was like participating in a drug trial at a pharmaceutical company. If given the choice, not many people would be willing to earn that money.

His own squad had plenty of opportunities to strive for other high-reward tasks on ordinary days, so...

"Since this squad has already experienced it once, let's take a break for now. What we need now is more effective exploration. Don't think about becoming a fat man from eating just one piece of bread."

"We will follow your teachings."

Karun felt that it was about time to leave, and his figure floated up again.

Just then, one of the red light clusters spoke up, "Elder, there is something that I need to report."

You have so many things going on.

Karun could only pause and say, "."

"I have found that the current intensity of the test is clearly insufficient."

"Oh, in what aspects?"

In every aspect. The ordinary Order Whip squad on the tester's side is clearly not up to par, and most importantly, because the test subjects are our own people, we dare not forcefully impose many methods on them. On the other hand, our methods are not diverse enough, and we are too concerned about certain things."

In short, there is a tug-of-war between the test subjects and the testing methods.

"What is your opinion?" Karun asked.

"My opinion is that after the initial test is over, we can bring in some demons or sinners to become test subjects. At the same time, we can also invite or capture some bewitching demons to enrich our methods and enhance our strength."After this proposal was put forward, Karun noticed that the surrounding red orbs reacted calmly, indicating that this should be their common view, because they were the ones responsible for the specific implementation of this project.

"I disagree."

Karun chose to refuse.

The red orb that made the request was slightly stunned, but still immediately released respect:

"I will follow your orders."

"Because you cannot guarantee that all the test subjects are deserving of punishment and demonic creatures, and you cannot guarantee that the captured demonic creatures will not take advantage of this environment and opportunity to cause other incidents.

And once something goes wrong, it will have a very negative impact on the reputation of the Order of the Gods. So, when you proposed it to me in person, I cannot agree..."

"I will follow your teachings. I was short-sighted."

Karun's figure floated up and paused again when he was about to leave the top of the tower and enter the next level, saying:

"But can we consider that I didn't come today? I really didn't come, right?"

The crowd immediately understood and said in unison:

"Yes, you didn't come."

"Yes, you didn't come."

These red orbs answered quickly and their excitement could be sensed.

Because Karun's intention was that, as an elder of the temple, he could not agree to something that clearly carried the label of "immorality";

And by considering himself as not having come today, it meant that he did not hear this proposal, which meant not to publicize it and not to expect any approval. They could secretly carry out this "immoral" experiment.

This kind of open "permission" undoubtedly excited these red orbs.

However, they may not have realized that the elder of the temple truly wanted them to believe that he did not come today.

When Karun's huge golden orb floated to the edge and came to Mr. Eisen, Karun said lightly:

"Let's go."

The elder of the temple did not take action. It was very normal for things like simple formations to be done by the servants around him.

What made Karun breathe a sigh of relief was that Mr. Eisen did not ask anything and did not show any abnormal behavior. Instead, he silently re-drew a formation circle in front of him.

Behind them, hundreds of orbs shouted in unison:

"Farewell, Elder of the Temple!"

The formation circle emitted light, enveloping Karun and Mr. Eisen, and the next moment, the two appeared outside the signpost.

Karun turned back into Karun, and Mr. Eisen turned back into Mr. Eisen.

Captain Neo had been standing nearby. When he saw Karun coming out, he immediately asked, "How was it? Was it fun inside?"

Karun: "It was fun."

"Did you see the world?"

Mr. Eisen: "I did."

Karun immediately said to the captain, "Captain, it's getting late. Let's go back to the secret room."

"Well, alright." Neo nodded, "Let's go back."

Captain Neo and Mr. Eisen both put on the face masks made by Lemaire again, and the two of them disappeared in an instant because their positions were marked in that secret room.

When they appeared in a place where they shouldn't be, they would be corrected. The basic operating logic supporting this was probably the wisdom star left by Larnedal in that room.

Karun reached out and grabbed the edge of the silver mask on his face. He felt that in the future, he should try to use his grandfather's mask less and use Mr. Pavarro's mask more when needed.

His grandfather's life must not have always been spent as a judge on Mingke Street, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how the divine fragment of the young Dis came into being. So he must have had other rich experiences, but he fell into a deep sleep before he had the chance to slowly tell stories to his grandson by the fireplace in winter.

Although using his grandfather's mask easily created a sense of "false prestige," if he played too carelessly and broke it, his identity would easily be exposed, and the arrangements and sacrifices made by his grandfather would also lose their meaning.

It seems that his grandfather's story can only be told to his great-grandson and great-granddaughter after he wakes up in the future.

At the same time, this incident also served as a wake-up call for himself. He was not as cautious as the captain in terms of details. Hopefully, this incident will not cause any waves for himself and the captain.

Karun took off the mask;

There was an instant change in front of him. He opened his eyes and found himself sitting back in the chair, subconsciously sitting up.

When he moved, Karun saw Marlowe, who was sitting on the chair diagonally across from him, jumping up in a hurry, frantically gesturing and silently mouthing words. Fortunately, there was a shielding barrier between each seat, so Marlowe couldn't come over or make any sound. But it seemed that because of this reason, he could now vent his emotions to the fullest, because he knew he couldn't beat Karun.

But the fear and frustration of being shot in the head by his own teammate, who was perfectly fine and even fell asleep right after shooting him, was truly maddening. Richard saw Karun wake up and immediately communicated with him using the sign language he had created two hours ago, but Karun ignored him.

Turning his head, he found that Mr. Eisen, who was sitting next to the captain, had been staring at him.

Sigh,

Now the biggest problem is Mr. Eisen. It doesn't matter if the captain knows about this, but how should he explain it to Mr. Eisen?Karun really didn't dare to tell the Guman family the truth, because not every family could put their family members first like the Inmores family. In fact, families like the Inmores that value kinship are rare, even in ordinary society.

Grandfather Delong was not like Grandfather Dis. Dis would spare no effort to protect his family, but under normal circumstances, Delong would certainly hope for family harmony. But who knew if he would choose his faith over his family when the two conflicted?

However, Mr. Aisen kept staring at him, which made Karun very uncomfortable. Therefore, Karun could only make a gesture at Mr. Aisen, pointing to Richard who was sitting next to him.

"Uncle, look at your son."

Richard also saw Karun's gesture and immediately looked at the newcomer, Memphis, and started to use sign language. He first made a wave with his arm, meaning 'wait'; then he pointed at himself, then at the newcomer Memphis, and finally opened his left palm under his chin, opened his mouth, and made a digging motion with his right hand.

Then, a satisfied expression appeared on his face, and he patted his chest, indicating that he would take care of everything.

Finally, Uncle Aisen's gaze moved away from him and fixed on his beloved son.

Karun could only sigh in his heart, it was indeed...

A deep father-son bond.
