The two sat face to face on their respective beds, silent for a long time.

They looked at each other, with no attempt to hide their curiosity in their eyes.

This time, it was Karun who broke the silence.

"Captain, let's stop here with this matter."

The captain looked puzzled.

"What matter?"

"I heard that Miss Ophelia may come to our Order of the Gods for training."

"Yes, Bishop Wofflen talked to me this morning. You see, our previous arrangements were not in vain, right?"

"Arrangements..."

"Before doing anything, we should strive to be fully prepared. Learn and understand the spirit and meaning behind my words."

"Alright, Captain..."

"Also, on this basis, there is another matter. In terms of training, which department in our church do you think is the most suitable?"

"The Order of the Whip?"

"Correct."

"Will Ophelia join our squad?"

"No."

"Phew..." Karun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bishop Wofflen's intention is for her to form a separate Order of the Whip squad, with her as the captain. When considering the candidates, who do you think she will choose?"

Karun was surprised. "She has such freedom?"

"Because the Dark Moon Island is going to relinquish command of the fleet. This is the most powerful force in this area. Compared to the fleet outside the Dark Moon Island, a captain of the Order of the Whip is not impressive."

"That's true."

"It is precisely because of this reason that Bishop Wofflen has let go of all his grievances and is willing to support and promote this matter. Of course, it still needs to go through the process of the Regional Management Office, but this decision was made by the Archbishop. It's just a formality.

When you didn't come back this morning, Chief Vina brought Miss Ophelia to visit Bishop Wofflen. I could tell that they were apologizing.

After all, his daughter will have to stay in the York City region for at least three years, so they need to eliminate the grievances from the failed marriage alliance.

The other party has given enough face, and considering the connection between the church and the Dark Moon Island, judging from Bishop Wofflen's attitude, he should have completely forgiven Miss Ophelia."

"That's great."

"Haha, but forgiving Miss Ophelia doesn't include you."

"This..." Karun said.

"But you don't have to worry either. After observing these days, Bishop Wofflen is a good person. Look at that boy Leon. Although he has some habits of a playboy, he is still decent in his dealings with people. Don't judge a book by its cover.

Normal elders would be angry when their descendants' marriage alliances are inexplicably broken. He definitely doesn't like you, but he won't specifically target you. You can rest assured about this, but you also need to be more vigilant and be more careful in your actions next time."

"No, Captain, who spread that rumor in the first place?"

The captain was the culprit behind this matter. He instructed his subordinates to spread the rumor to increase the visibility of the Hound Squad, which had just been transferred from Sampo City to York City, making it easier to receive missions.

"Cough... It's been too long. Let's not waste our energy investigating it."

Karun yawned. He was tired.

The captain continued, "When she comes, you should take the initiative to report to her. After all, your relationship with her was just a rumor before. How many times have you entered and left the hotel together? That's called a saucepan dropping its lid."

"I won't go."

"Don't throw a tantrum."

"I'm not throwing a tantrum. I just genuinely like our Hound Squad."

"Karun."

"Yes?"

"Even if it's a hound, it still needs to mate."

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

"...Karun."

"Then it can reproduce new hounds. Think about it, if she becomes the captain, she will have a formation. But since she just arrived at the Order of the Gods, she is unfamiliar with everything. If you go, who will be the captain?

In this way, you can quickly form your own Hound Squad."

"I still don't want to go."

"Whether you go or not doesn't matter, because you are not officially part of our squad. In theory, external members can be directly transferred by higher-ups without your consent."

"Can they really force me like that?"

"That's called dedication to the Order of the Gods. Is that considered force? Having such thoughts is dangerous. It shows that you are not loyal enough to the Order of the Gods."

At the same time, the external members Memphis and Richard can also be transferred together.

In addition, for the sake of taking care of them, I plan to let Vani and Peiluo also go to her squad to help.

You see, with this, our squad will suddenly have five members. Just find seven more and we will be fully staffed."

"But, hasn't everything been arranged at this point?"

"Yes, Bishop Wofflen has already discussed the preliminary regulations with me. He was also worried that I wouldn't agree to let people go. Look, the Archbishop himself came to consult me. Can I refuse?"

"So, Captain, you have already sold me and then came to consult me?"

"It's all for the dedication to the Order of the Gods. It doesn't matter where it happens."

"You can't do this."

"Protesting is ineffective."

The captain stood up, patted his stomach, and said, "I'm hungry. Let's go eat."

"Hasn't the meal been delivered yet?"

"I want to eat out."

"I want to sleep."

"Then you sleep. I'll take them out to eat. We won't leave for another three days. Miss Ophelia won't go back with us. She needs to finish dealing with the matters on Dark Moon Island. So, you have enough time to prepare yourself."

"Goodnight, Captain."

"Good afternoon."The captain walked out of the room and considerately closed the door.

Karun sat by the bed for a while, then got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. After changing his clothes, he lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep because he was too exhausted.

When he woke up, it was still slightly dark outside. Did he sleep until evening?

The door of the room was pushed open, and the captain walked in carrying a tray. Karun noticed that the captain had changed his clothes, which made him have a bad guess.

"I slept for a whole day and night?"

"Did you sleep enough?" Neo sat down by the bed and asked while eating a dish similar to curry rice with a spoon.

"Yeah."

"You didn't get injured or overuse your power, but you slept for so long." The captain picked up the cup next to him and took a sip of water. "It seems like you gained a lot that night."

"It's alright."

"Is it a secret?"

"Captain, you already owe me several secrets."

"Hehe." Neo shook his head. "It takes time to brew a secret."

Karun stood up and realized that his stomach was hurting from hunger.

"Miss Ophelia sent her warriors to invite you for dinner. I came in to call you just as you woke up. I guess the elders of the Dark Moon Island want to see you. You should go, after all, you can't just take the benefits without doing anything."

"Alright, I got it."

After washing up, Karun changed into a clean robe and walked to the gate of the courtyard. He saw Panmir standing in front of a carriage, waiting for him.

"Sorry for coming out late."

"You're too polite, Mr. Karun. Please get in the carriage."

"Yeah."

After getting into the carriage, Karun immediately reached out and opened a small drawer inside the carriage. There were many snacks inside that were rarely eaten but replaced with fresh ones every day.

Karun took out a plate and started eating with his hands.

Seeing this, Panmir immediately poured a cup of tea for Karun.

"Thank you."

"Take your time."

"Yeah, I'm so hungry, just woke up."

After finishing a plate of snacks, Karun felt that his hunger was relieved and wanted to take another plate, but the carriage had already arrived.

The dinner was held in a separate courtyard inside the hotel. This courtyard was not open to the public and was specially used by the high-level members of the Dark Moon Clan to entertain the high-level members of the two divine religions.

After getting off the carriage, climbing the steps, and entering the gate, Karun saw Ophelia dressed in local attire standing in front, waiting for him. In this outfit, she looked a bit charming.

But with so many things happening in the family recently, Karun could clearly feel that she had lost some weight compared to when he first arrived.

"Sorry for disturbing your rest."

"No..."

Ophelia naturally reached out and held Karun's shoulder, shouting inside, "Father, elders, Karun is here."

Gu Yao

Seeing this, Karun didn't break free from her hand.

In the hall, there was a square table, of course, not exactly square, but compared to the long tables in noble families, it looked more square.

Ophelia and Karun sat on one side, Clan Chief Vina sat opposite, and on both sides were Elder Zimel and Elder Romu.

Elder Zimel clearly had injuries on his body. Although he had been treated with magic, the bruises were still visible. It would take time for him to recover.

Elder Romu wore thick glasses and was not tall, always smiling.

The dishes on the table were plentiful, but what made Karun laugh and cry was that it seemed that they deliberately prepared a table of Vienese dishes to show their importance to him, with nearly ten different kinds of sauce in large bowls.

In the Dark Moon Island, it was not a simple task to find ten different flavors of Vienese sauce.

With a simple opening remark, Clan Chief Vina expressed his apologies to Karun. The meeting that should have been arranged long ago had to be postponed due to a series of recent events on the island.

While eating the dishes he could eat, Karun replied calmly. He was not nervous at all and responded appropriately. After all, he had played the role of their ancestors and their juniors, so he was already calm after going through the whole process.

Elder Zimel's speech was somewhat incoherent, and it seemed that he had suffered some concussion from the explosion of the Dulong's head.

Elder Romu mainly talked about the internal affairs of the Order of the Gods and Karun's future development path. His words implied that he wanted to help Karun with his career planning, but Karun kept "pushing" him and didn't go into depth. He didn't need him to worry about his career planning.

As for Clan Chief Vina, he mainly talked about local customs and practices, from Vien to the Dark Moon Island, and then to other countries on other continents. It could be seen that Clan Chief Vina had been to many places.

Ophelia basically sat next to Karun, occasionally helping to take a dish, but didn't say much.

The meal lasted for nearly two hours. Just as Karun thought about putting down the dessert plate and continuing the conversation, he didn't expect Clan Chief Vina to be the first to conclude the speech. Although he was somewhat surprised by the speed of the conclusion, Karun cooperated and made some closing remarks before getting up to say goodbye.

Ophelia accompanied Karun to the door and then naturally let go of his hand.

"Thank you for coming all the way here."

"It's my duty since I received the coupons."

"I'm going to Vien."

"Oh, really? That's great."

"Unless something unexpected happens, we will meet in York City."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. When you arrive, I'll treat you to a meal."

"It's still early now. Will you accompany me for a walk?"

"I haven't rested well yet."

Ophelia leaned forward, bringing her face close to Karun's face, and said, "Are you trying to force me to be rough with you here if you don't accompany me for a walk?"

"If I don't accompany you for a walk, you'll be rough with me?""I went to find you at noon, but you were sleeping, and you told me that you couldn't sleep last night because you were so happy after hearing the news that I was going to Vienna. You knew that I was going to Vienna, but you acted surprised just now?"

Captain!!!

"You know, sometimes the more exciting things are, the harder it is to express emotions. In this situation, it's easy to appear deliberately calm and peaceful. Can you understand, right?"

"No." Ophelia shook her head decisively. "Karun, from now on until I go to Vienna, I will respect you, but please fulfill my request."

"You can't be so domineering, your identity is so noble."

"If you don't listen to me, I will hit you. Anyway, you can't beat me. I've figured it out. Why should I let myself be wronged when I fall in love with someone for the first time in my life? I don't want to."

You may not be able to beat me now...

Unfortunately, she had joined forces with Ophelia twice recently to deal with the captain. She knew her own strength. If she suddenly discovered that her strength had increased dramatically, especially with the absurd increase in the power of the Dark Moon Blade, it would definitely be inexplicable.

But when you come to Vienna, you can try to oppress me with force. Because after returning to Vienna, I have comprehended the power of the Dark Moon, and my control over power has become more refined.

"Let's take a walk."

"Okay."

"Karun, was I too barbaric just now?"

"No, quite cute."

"Your captain is really good to you. I can tell."

"My captain and today's Elder Zimel are the same. They had an accident before coming to Dark Moon Island to carry out a mission and injured their brains."

"That's really unfortunate."

"Yes."

"If he tells you about him and me, would you accuse him of having a problem with his brain to relieve the embarrassment?"

"Okay, what else about the captain?"

"He had a Miss Elisa who made him choose to accept her through constant pursuit. Before that, he never thought he would fall in love with someone."

I can tell that when your captain mentions Miss Elisa's name, his eyes are full of indulgence.

They are living together now. They should be very happy, right?"

"Yeah, they are."

...

"How does it feel?" Chief Vina leaned back in his chair and asked.

Elder Zimel: "She is a very steady girl."

Elder Romu touched his hair and said, "She was overly calm and composed when facing us. According to the information feedback given by Ophelia at the beginning, he couldn't do this, so he must have concealed some of his past. However, he doesn't seem to worry that we will investigate, or he is confident that we won't find out."

Elder Zimel: "He is decisive and can handle the situation well. I like his boots."

Elder Romu smiled and said, "But things have changed too quickly. The Order of the Gods suddenly reached into our core, and the command of the Outer Sea Fleet is about to be taken away. Our Ophelia is also going to the Order of the Gods for training. His role may not be as important as before."

Elder Zimel retorted, "We can't look at it this way. Ophelia is Ophelia, and Karun is Karun. Their positions in the Reincarnation Sect are different."

Elder Romu said, "Zimel, you should let the doctor take another look at your head later. I think your injury hasn't fully recovered."

"Your butt is the one with the problem."

Romu: "..."

Chief Vina spoke, "Elder Zimel is right. We cannot give up on Karun. Even if we don't consider the present, we have to think about the future. Taufman also has high hopes for him and thinks he is extraordinary."

Elder Romu nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it according to the Chief's plan. I have no objections."

Elder Zimel said, "I don't have grapes either."

After the two elders left, Chief Vina walked to the side hall, where Taufman had been sitting and drinking tea.

"You should come out and meet him." Chief Vina said to his younger brother.

"I don't want to see him." Taufman smiled and said, "I am more suspicious than you, my dear father."

"The two elders of the factions already agreed to my plan."

"They know less than we do. If the information is shared, they will support Karun more than we do."

"Yes, sigh, maybe that's why I felt pressure when facing him today. Clearly, he is the one meeting the elders tonight, but I feel a bit confused."

"Ophelia going to the Order of the Gods means that the next generation's candidate for the chief position is completely determined, and the position of the successor is confirmed. Your position is also completely stable.

In addition, the command of the Outer Sea Fleet needs to be handed over to the Order of the Gods. I feel that I will soon be able to unload this burden."

"Is there no other way?"

"Well, there is no other way."

"This is too sudden, Taufman."

"I have gone through a baptism. You should be happy for me."

"Fine, I respect your decision."

...

York City.

Pavaro Funeral Society, master bedroom.Kevin, who was sleeping on the carpet, had a dream. In the dream, a man lying in a coffin was incessantly roaring at him hysterically.

"Ranald, I curse you to die a terrible death, I curse you to die a terrible death!"

"Slap!"

Ranald slapped his own face with his paw.

Puerh, who was lying in bed reading a romance novel, turned her head to look at Kevin on the carpet and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Woof."

"Oh, bitten by a mosquito."
