Karun changed into a black robe, the uniform required for this gathering. Rather than providing security for the Archbishop of York, Wolvren, it was more like a ceremonial guard representing the York region.

After all, Karun didn't need to worry about security. The church had plenty of forces attending the negotiations. Plus, Darkmoon Island, nominally a neutral third party, was actually an ally of the Order of God. They would undoubtedly take full responsibility for the safety of both parties, or at least, the safety of the Order of God.

Pinger and Fanny came to pick up Karun in a car, not the VIP car, as cars were not suitable for teleportation.

At first, the pick-up was just a convenience, but as Karun's role and status within the team grew, so did the "internal services and privileges" that came with it.

"Are you bringing your sword too?" Pinger asked as she saw Karun getting into the car with his sword case.

"Yes, I am," Karun replied.

Although it wasn't suitable to use this sword on Darkmoon Island, it was a "token" given to him by the island. It made sense to bring it if he could.

The car arrived at the entrance of the new church administration building. Everyone carried their luggage into the building, took the elevator to the eighteenth floor, and turned a corner to reach Neo's office.

It wasn't as upscale as the old administration building with its private elevator, but the new office was larger and even had a dedicated activity room.

Kun Xizema and the others were playing table tennis.

The captain was not in the office, but Mr. Memphis was sitting on a sofa in the corner.

Karun was surprised to see him. It seemed that his uncle had truly "pushed" aside his duties as a judge and was now fully immersed in the life of the Order's whip.

"Come on, everyone, gather your luggage. It needs to be teleported separately. Remember, don't put any living things inside."

"Does a bird count as a living thing?" Malo joked.

"I wish your bird would die during the teleportation."

"Ouch... that's harsh!"

Malo immediately crossed his legs, then looked at Karun.

Karun smiled at Malo, who returned the smile and then immediately ran off to watch the table tennis game. It was clear to anyone that Malo was afraid of Karun, who had once nearly killed him with a single shot.

"I didn't expect you to come," Karun said as he sat down across from Memphis and poured himself a cup of water.

"I wanted to come, so I did," Memphis replied, picking up the cup Karun had just filled and taking a sip.

He was actually quite nervous in front of Karun.

Karun could only pour himself another cup.

At that moment, Richard walked in, carrying several sets of robes. He had obviously just gone to collect clothes for the others. The administration building offered a place to store and repair clothes, or to imbue them with protective spells.

Of the three auxiliary team members, two were sitting and drinking tea, leaving only Richard to run around. But he didn't feel bullied, instead, he was quite cheerful.

Even when someone jokingly asked about the injury on his face, he candidly admitted that his father had beaten him at home.

Fanny called out, "Alright, everyone, get ready."

Everyone stopped playing and began to tidy themselves up. Finally, they all silently put on their silver masks.

Having learned his lesson from last time, Karun didn't lazily put on the mask his grandfather had left him, but wore the one issued by the team.

The captain walked into the office at this time, holding his own mask:

"Line up!"

Everyone stood up and began to form a line.

They hadn't practiced how to line up, nor did they need to be perfectly uniform. Their matching clothes and masks, along with their similar auras, created a similar effect.

Karun remembered the first time he saw Neo's team, he could clearly sense that this team was extraordinary.

Although three auxiliary members had recently joined, Karun and Memphis undoubtedly elevated the team's strength. Even Richard was not the type to hold the team back.

"This mission is simple, but the simpler the mission, the less room there is for mistakes. I don't expect you to always pay attention to your appearance, but I hope you understand that we are attending these negotiations as the victorious party. So, keep your spirits up, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"Let's go."

Neo led everyone out of the office, took the elevator to the basement, which was large and deep, filled with many teleportation circles. Each circle was separated by a wall made of barrier stones, which not only served as a wall but also isolated the influence of surrounding energy fluctuations.

Karun saw Wolvren standing there talking to two red-robed bishops, with Leon and Laure standing behind him.The two young masters appeared here, obviously they wanted to go to the Dark Moon Island together, but their actions this time were not strictly considered as a gilded behavior.

Because Leon was originally a candidate from the Order of the Gods who intended to promote the alliance with the Dark Moon Island. Although the enthusiasm for the alliance from the Dark Moon Island has decreased significantly recently, his grandfather, as the representative of the York City region, naturally had to bring him along.

It can be considered as a precaution.

There is no need to worry about the people from the Dark Moon Island thinking that the Order of the Gods is rushing to form an alliance. The Order of the Gods, which has just completed the war with the Reincarnation Sect, now has great confidence.

As for Lao Lei, he is the secretary of Wofulun. He had lived on the Dark Moon Island for a period of time when he was young, so he is naturally selected.

According to the regulations, each region will only send one bishop, usually the chief bishop, and a secretary will be assigned to them. Then, according to tradition, a team of Order Whips will serve as the honor guard.

Leon is an exception and does not take up a position.

Neo stepped forward and stood beside Wofulun. Wofulun glanced at Neo, nodded, and continued to instruct the two bishops on some matters.

Please, it gets more exciting later!

Karun felt that the Chief Bishop should not be so busy. The reason why he came here specially before leaving was probably to show that the York City region cannot function without him.

Lao Lei was holding a record book and was already starting his work.

Leon deliberately glanced at everyone present, and Karun felt that he was looking for himself.

Then, Karun watched Leon walk to Richard's side, put his arm around his neck, and smiled, "Remember to bring food this time."

"Did you mistake me for someone else, Leon?"

"Hmm?" Leon was stunned.

Richard took off his mask, looked at him, and moved his hand away from his neck, "Why are you so disgusting now?"

Obviously, Richard knew Leon.

"Why is it you?" Leon was a bit confused. "When did you join the Order Whips?"

"I joined a long time ago."

"Then why didn't I see you on the last mission?"

"I was responsible for covert protection."

Richard didn't directly say that he was an elevator attendant for a week during the last security mission.

But obviously, the relationship between Richard and Leon is just ordinary acquaintances. After all, if the Chief Bishop's family had not formed a real family background, the Guman family with four judges would not be much inferior in status to the other party. The most important thing is that the Guman family is not an ordinary family of judges.

"Heh, where's Karun?" Leon asked.

"There he is, how about you, do you know each other?"

"Hmm."

Leon looked at Karun, and Karun took off his mask.

"You too, you didn't even say hello when you saw me, and I mistook you for someone else." Leon complained to Karun with a smile.

Karun replied, "I smiled and nodded."

When they met in the corridor of the Ankara restaurant after the last mission, Leon smiled and nodded at him like this.

Leon obviously understood the meaning behind Karun's words, but he wasn't angry. Although choosing one's attitude towards others based on personal preferences is a privilege of someone like him, when Karun responded to him in this way, he actually felt quite comfortable.

"So petty."

"Hehe."

To read the uncut version, go to [p𝘢wread.com].

Leon took a few steps towards Karun and came in front of him, whispering, "I'm being dragged to the Dark Moon Island again this time. I believe that some rumors from the time when Ophelia came to Vienna have spread there. Do you know what that means for me?"

"It will be embarrassing."

"Actually, I'm not afraid of losing face. The main concern is my grandfather. So, be careful when you meet my grandfather after we arrive at the Dark Moon Island."

"I believe in the Chief Bishop. He won't punish a loyal follower of the Order just because of rumors."

"Believe me, if he wasn't my grandfather, I would also think that the Chief Bishop wouldn't be so petty..."

"Leon!"

"Here."

Leon was called over by his grandfather, and Wofulun finished giving instructions and nodded at Neo.

The group entered the teleportation array, with Wofulun at the forefront, followed by Leon and Lao Lei, and the entire team of Neo stood at the back.

The array was activated, and Karun felt his body being enveloped by a special medium. Then, a gust of wind blew, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared in a new environment.

This should be somewhere underground, where a huge array has been set up.

There were more than twenty teams with the same configuration present, and teams were constantly being teleported here.

The bishops did not talk to each other, they stood quietly.Each Order Whip team stood behind their respective protected objects, appearing reserved and orderly.

After about ten minutes, a large-scale magic array in front opened, and from the center of the array, a blue light gate slowly emerged.

Starting from the front of the queue, one team after another began to walk into the light gate.

It was Karun's turn now. Wofulun took the first step, and the others followed. In the instant they passed through the light gate, all of Karun's senses malfunctioned, much more severely than during the previous teleportation.

This meant that the previous teleportation was not far away, and the underground space should still be within the range of Vayne. However, this time it was a true long-distance teleportation, which would put a strain on the body.

After his senses recovered, Karun felt a warm and gentle sea breeze blowing on him, giving him a special sense of pleasure.

Opening his eyes and looking around, Karun found himself standing in a palace. The palace was made of white stones, giving it a simple and solemn appearance, and it was located on a mountaintop.

From here, one could overlook the distant sea and the densely populated yet orderly town below.

Darkmoon Island, where every season feels like spring.

Karun's first reaction was that Darkmoon Island was much larger than he had imagined, and naturally, it had a much larger population. It was not a single family controlling the island, but a group of islanders who shared the belief in Darkmoon.

Of course, now the Order of the Gods had established a mission here, giving the people of Darkmoon Island a new choice of faith.

In front, there were carriages parked, and special attendants were conducting negotiations on behalf of the Order of the Gods. Karun noticed that the horses pulling the carriages all had a horn on their heads. As for the interior of the carriages, they were also embedded with formations, providing even better shock absorption than luxury cars.

In short, from Vayne to Darkmoon Island, there was an instant feeling of transitioning from a civilized society to a fantasy society.

But in reality, this was the true face of this world.

Even though the colonial army had long entered the era of firearms and ironclad ships, the knight order that emerged from the cave that day wielding cold weapons was the most terrifying force in this world.

Many people, including the other members of his team and the members of other Order Whip teams around him, were looking around in astonishment. After all, most of them were visiting Darkmoon Island for the first time and naturally felt amazed by the unique cultural environment here.

"Cough..."

Neo cleared his throat, and all the team members immediately focused their attention.

However, the captain did not want everyone to pay attention to their appearance, but pointed to the unicorn-drawn carriage in front and said, "Sitting in this is definitely more comfortable than sitting in a car, and the speed may not be slower than a car."

Then, the captain continued, "But how many ordinary people have the qualifications to ride in this kind of carriage?"

Neo looked around and finally said, "The appearance outside is not the appearance that should be, but the appearance under order."

Wofulun, the bishop, who was about to board the carriage, stopped and turned to look at Neo, nodding and saying, "You're right."

Neo lowered his head in response to the bishop.

However, it seemed that the bishop was not interested in giving a speech on someone else's territory, so after smiling appreciatively at Neo, he got into the carriage.

Leon and Lore boarded the carriage, and the carriage began to move.

Neo divided his subordinates into two columns and escorted the carriage.

Karun, who was used to carrying out missions in cars, now felt like he was in a period drama, only missing a sword hanging from everyone's waist.

Thinking of this, Karun quietly asked Vani in front of him, "What about our luggage?"

Vani pointed not far away and said, "The luggage is being distributed there and will be delivered to our lodging soon."

"Okay."

Karun nodded, indicating that he understood.

Inside the carriage:

Wofulun half-closed his eyes and said, "This captain is quite insightful."

"He's the well-known captain of the Hound Squad." Leon immediately introduced.

"So, is the one who spread rumors about Miss Ophelia also in this squad?"

"Yes, Grandfather, but that's just a rumor."

"I'm not so petty." Wofulun waved his hand. "After all, Darkmoon Island is not a servant of our church. She has the right to make her own choices."

"Yes, Grandfather."

"But when we return, I will still ask the department responsible for the arrangement how they arranged this team for me. Are they betting on my broad-mindedness?"

Clearly, Bishop Wofulun had discovered the problem.

According to reason, the department in charge of the arrangement should not make such a mistake and arrange for someone who might be disliked by the leader to go on a business trip with the leader.

It was precisely because of this that when Neo learned about this mission in advance, he didn't even think about making efforts in this aspect to win this mission.Lao Lei interrupted, "Sir, the next place we will go to is the Berna Hotel. It is the only hotel on Dark Moon Island that welcomes outsiders. It is located on the mountainside of Mount Kenna. The hotel is very large and has hot springs, which are perfect for recuperation. You can soak in the hot springs and rest tonight."

"Okay, I got it."

On the way down the mountain, they passed through a coconut tree corridor. The colorful stones on the ground looked exquisite.

Karun admired the scenery on both sides of the road as he walked. Since waking up, he had either been in Rulan or Wien, both of which had bad weather. Even in the summer, it was not as warm and humid as here.

Dark Moon Island was truly a paradise.

Because the scenery was so beautiful, the journey didn't feel long at all. The team quickly arrived at the halfway point of the mountain.

They arrived at the hotel. When Karun came down from the mountain earlier, he had already seen the layout of the hotel. It was not like the modern and towering buildings in Ankara, but deliberately retained a classical beauty. It was divided into several villas, giving it an oriental style that Karun was familiar with, but with details leaning towards ancient Greek style.

If everything went as expected, each team would have their own "courtyard" and each "courtyard" would have its own exclusive landscape pond.

The comfort of living here was definitely not a problem. There would be no oppressive feeling of living in a high-rise building. However, as a meeting place, it had one drawback: the gathering time before the meeting would definitely be extended.

They arrived at the hotel entrance, the Berna Hotel.

Looking at the huge sign of the hotel, Karun didn't expect to encounter Puerh's pursuer so soon. This also indirectly showed Mr. Berna's status in the history of Dark Moon Island.

The corresponding waiter led the carriage into the depths of the hotel. The carriage could directly enter the corresponding room. After that, the carriage would stay here and be equipped with the corresponding butler, coachman, and waiter.

From now on, the Bishop would need to take the carriage to the meeting every day because although the meeting hall was in the hotel, it was quite far away.

Bishop Wofuren stayed in the master bedroom, and the other rooms on both sides were standard rooms.

Richard originally wanted to come and stay in the same room as Karun, but Neo spoke first, "Richard, you will stay in a room with Memphis."

"Oh, okay." Richard didn't dare to disobey the captain's order.

Neo looked at Karun and said, "You will stay in a room with me."

"Yes, Captain."

Vani spoke up, "The luggage has been transferred. You can pick it up yourself."

Karun took his luggage and placed it in the room.

Neo simply lay down on the bed and said, "There are no tasks today and tomorrow. We only need three people to be at your service here. The rest of the people can take this opportunity to explore the island."

"This mission is really good."

"Yes, as the winning side, it's definitely easy."

By the way, do you think Miss Ophelia knows that you are here? If she knows but doesn't take the initiative to see you, it's a bit unreasonable."

"Captain, there really is nothing between Miss Ophelia and me."

"You continue, I believe you."

At this time, Lao Lei appeared at the door and knocked. Karun went to open the door.

Lao Lei nodded at Neo, and Neo nodded back while lying on the bed.

Then, Lao Lei said to Neo, "Let's go out and take a walk. I'll be the tour guide. Leon is also here, and I called Richard as well."

Strictly speaking, the three of them were all young masters. It was quite a face for Lao Lei to invite himself.

"Let's go out and have a look. It's a rare opportunity." Neo smiled.

"Okay." Karun agreed.

"Let's go. I'll take you to try the local specialty of Dark Moon Island." Lao Lei patted Karun's shoulder and motioned for him to come out.

Karun walked out and saw Richard and Leon already standing in the courtyard.

"I wanted to ask earlier, what happened to your face? Did you get injured during the mission?" Leon asked.

Richard nodded and said, "Yeah, that's right."

Leon asked, "Which demon clan specializes in attacking faces?"

At this time, Lao Lei and Karun walked over. Lao Lei deliberately raised his wallet and said, "The Order Tickets can now be directly used on Dark Moon Island. Did you bring them?"

"The host didn't treat us, Lao Lei, you stingy person." Richard said unhappily.

"I'll treat you to the meal, but for the activities after the meal, such as experiencing the mermaid theater, it's not suitable for others to treat. You have to negotiate with the mermaid yourself and settle the bill without going through the front desk."

"Mermaid theater, where is that?" Richard asked.

Lao Lei explained, "It's the specialty dessert shop on Dark Moon Island."

"Okay, I'll go get my wallet. Karun, if you haven't brought yours, don't worry, I'll give you some later." Leon smiled.

"You two have a really good relationship." Richard said.

"Of course, Karun and I are good brothers." Richard said.

That's it. Richard walked back to his room, and Mr. Memphis sat on the bed, lost in thought.Richard took out his wallet from his bag and said,

"I'm going to try out the local dim sum shop with them now, hehe."

Mr. Memphis lifted his head, looking at Richard.

Richard, oblivious to the gaze from behind him, opened his wallet and sighed,

"Ah, I could have had a blast here with my savings, but now only half is left. My dad is really something."

Then,

Richard patted Memphis on the shoulder and said, "I'm going with others, it's not appropriate for me to bring someone else along. But don't worry, when I come back tonight, I'll take you there separately."

Memphis frowned, staring at Richard.

Richard misunderstood, thinking that the other party was doubting his ability, which he certainly couldn't tolerate!

He immediately patted his chest,

and said,

"Don't worry, twice a day is nothing, no problem at all. I'm still young, not like my dad's age."
