Bart chose a restaurant and booked a private room. Karun was the last one to enter because he made a phone call to Alfred at the hotel front desk on the way. However, the position facing the window of the private room was left empty for him.

This small circle had just formed, so it was still very pure, a pure division of ranks.

Because these three people were all put there by Karun.

Easily and confidently, Aisley spoke first, "We are the representatives from a big district. When it comes to the final selection in the next round, no one can say for sure if the selection method will be the same as this time.

And this selection test actually involves teamwork. Although it is not the decisive factor, it will definitely be helpful during the testing process.

I think that's why we chose to gather here for this meal. In the next round of selection, my idea is that we should take care of each other without harming our own interests.

Also, if you know that you may not make it, you can do something that harms others but not yourself."

Aisley stated something obvious, which was to stick together.

Bart agreed, "I agree."

Wentura placed a stone on the table and said, "I agree too."

Then, all three of them looked at Karun.

Karun's attitude was what they were most looking forward to, and it was the key to the success of this "sticking together".

Firstly, although they had never fought each other, everyone assumed that Karun was the strongest;

Secondly, Karun had reached such a height with a "dragging oil bottle" and only stopped when the oil bottle couldn't keep up, which showed that this person was reliable.

A person who is willing to help friends will naturally have more people willing to be his friend.

Karun nodded and responded, "Of course."

Everyone laughed.

Aisley asked, "Karun, who is the person you are carrying, your good friend?"

"Yes, my good friend. But in the end, he withdrew. He didn't want to obtain a ranking in this way and didn't want to squeeze others out."

This matter still needed some explanation.

"Do any of you know the fifth-ranked woman, Philomina?" Aisley asked.

Bart shook his head, "She's not from the Knight Order."

Wentura said, "I don't know many people."

Karun also shook his head.

Aisley said, "I will have someone investigate her background when I go back, but I don't think we need to have high expectations for her. She doesn't seem to be easy to get along with."

In fact, one of the important reasons why Richard chose to withdraw was that when Philomina showed her renewed state, Richard didn't want Karun to fight against such a mysterious and powerful opponent for his sake.

He wanted to withdraw but didn't want to let Karun down for his help and efforts. It could only be said that Philomina's appearance gave him the best condition to withdraw.

"She is very strong," Karun commented.

On the mountain, she was the only one who could speak fluently with him.

"So, she disdains sticking together," Aisley laughed, "In the end, we are still a little guilty."

Bart shook his head, "I just wanted to invite Karun for tea."

Wentura laughed, "Me too."

"Oh, I know you all have your pride, but I only focus on practical matters. By the way, we haven't formally introduced ourselves yet, so let me go first.

Aisley Pidun, an intern breeding officer in the A-level department of the Order of the Divine Beasts System. My parents are scholars inside. Sorry, in our department circle, we generally don't use the term "divine official" because our academic atmosphere is quite strong."

Bart spoke, "The falcons and hawks we have, are they bred by your department?"

"That's something bred by the C-level department. We usually breed rare and endangered monsters. The departments at higher levels research the resurrection of extinct ferocious beasts.

Let me put it this way, I am a cheerful person who likes to make friends. If anyone has a monster pet at home, you can come to me for help in taking care of them. Maybe I can improve their bloodline.

Of course, ordinary pets are also fine. I can help improve their physical fitness and increase their intelligence a little."

Karun couldn't help but think of his two pets at home.

Aisley belonged to a special department. According to the customs of the Order of the Divine Beasts, almost all departments above the A-level were in a semi-isolated state. They had their own circle and ecosystem, rarely contacting the outside world, let alone involving personal favors.

"Do monster pets need any special supplements?" Karun asked.

"There are special supplements for monster pets. Do you need them, Karun?"

"I do."

Under the premise of involving interests, Karun would often give up formality and choose practicality.

"Give me your address, and I will have someone deliver them to you."

"Okay, I will pay with points."

"No need for points. It's not interesting to receive points, and I don't lack them."

"Thank you."

Karun remembered what Mr. Lemar had said before, that the captain had given him a lot of points, and he had used up all the favors as well."No need to thank me. The best way is for you to bring your monster over for me to personally inspect. Hmm, let my father or mother help with the inspection and see if it meets the development conditions."

"No need to go through all that trouble."

"Alright, it's fine. What about the two of you?"

Bart responded, "The knight order has a dedicated department for raising and veterinary care."

"That's our subordinate unit," Eslie said.

"I know," Bart shrugged.

While playing with a stone, Wenthura said, "I don't have any pets at home."

"With that, I've finished introducing everyone," Eslie sat down. "Next."

Bart stood up and said, "Bart Kusens, reserve eagle knight of the Third Knight Order. Both my parents are mid-level officers."

Eslie asked, "And what about your grandfather?"

Bart frowned.

Eslie casually said, "In general, when the status of the parents is equal, it means there is a good family background that can obtain equal marriage resources. Your grandfather's position must be higher."

"My grandfather used to be the vice commander of the Third Knight Order, but that was a long time ago. When I was very young, my grandfather was transferred to the First Knight Order."

Upon hearing this, Karun, Eslie, and even Wenthura stood up.

Everyone understood the existence of the First Knight Order. Transferring to the First Knight Order meant becoming a part of their power after death.

Bart looked at Eslie and said, "So I don't want to make it so serious. Let's all sit down."

"Salute to your grandfather," Eslie said.

Bart continued, "The knight order and other departments of the church belong to completely different systems. We only accept orders from the High Priest and the Temple of Order. However, what I can do is, if any of you or your relatives and friends want to join the knight order, I can arrange it. But the requirements for joining the knight order are very strict, and you need to pass the assessment yourself."

After finishing, Bart sat down.

Wenthura spoke up, "Wenthura Lan Manny. I live with my grandparents. Both my grandparents used to be servants of the gods and worked as clerks in the Academic Building. They have retired now."

Eslie asked, "And what about your parents?"

Karun felt a bit helpless. This girl really lacked common sense.

Starting from the introduction of her grandparents, it was clear why. Yet she still had to ask.

"My parents passed away ten years ago because..."

Wenthura hesitated for a moment, then continued while touching the stone, "because of pollution."

Find the original at "pawread.com".

"You were also affected by the pollution?" Eslie asked.

"Yes."

"I admire you," Eslie nodded. "It's impressive."

Wenthura smiled and said, "Actually, you just get used to it."

Because Karun lived with Doradorin and witnessed their lives, he understood how heavy Wenthura's words were.

Finally, it was Karun's turn.

Karun stood up and said, "Karun, an orphan. I run a funeral home. If any of you or your relatives and friends need it, you can contact me."

The three of them fell silent for a moment.

Karun sat down, picked up the teapot, and poured himself another cup of tea.

Eslie asked, "So, did you achieve everything on your own?"

Karun answered, "There were many opportunities and many people who helped me. But my background is just that simple."

Bart clapped his hands and said, "Alright, let's order."

The dishes were quickly served, and the four of them were hungry and ate a lot.

After the meal, the four of them said their goodbyes.

Bart and Eslie had to go find their friends in their circles. They came together, so they would definitely leave together.

Alfred had already parked the car in front of the shop. When he saw Karun coming out, he took the initiative to open the car door.

Karun looked at Wenthura and asked, "How are you going back?"

"I'll take a taxi."

"Get in, I'll give you a ride."

"Okay, thank you."

The young boy didn't hesitate and got into the car, telling Alfred his address.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Karun asked, "By the way, you haven't started working yet, right?"

"No, I'm still studying at the church school. The principal recommended me to participate in this selection."

Karun remembered that Little John also studied at the church school and now lived there, attending elementary school.

"What do you want to do after you graduate?" Karun asked. "I mean, in terms of job placement."

Wenthura answered, "Order Whip."

Just like many young people who wanted to become police officers when they grew up, setting aside the independent circle of the knight order, Order Whip fulfilled the fantasies of most young people about work. Richard was arranged to join because of this fantasy and his family connections.

"Then strive to get one of the final twelve spots so that you can become a captain directly after graduation."

"I'm too young to be a captain," Wenthura was clear-headed. "What about you? Are you planning to become a captain?"

"What do you think?"

"I think you have a good chance of making it into the top twelve because you're much stronger than us."

"Well, you never know."

"If you become a captain, can I join your team?" Wenthura asked."If you don't feel wronged, then of course I welcome it."

"Okay, I want to follow you."

Karun smiled at the window. This young boy is still very naive, how should I put it, he belongs to the age group that is easiest to deceive.

He was probably convinced by himself during the test, so at this moment, in his temporary lack of rationality, he had the impulse to worship his big brother.

But let's talk about the future later.

If he really wants to form a team in the future, he is willing to come over, and I will definitely accept him.

Because he is no longer called talented, but has already fulfilled his current talent, which is direct combat power.

In addition, his strong point should not be the soul. Judging from his petrified state of the soul, his strong point should be close combat. In reality, people like him are often very useful.

In other words, this assessment targeting the soul is actually his weakness.

Wentura's home is in an apartment. Alfred parked the car at the entrance of the apartment, and two old people sitting on a bench by the road immediately stood up. The old lady helped the old man and walked over.

"Grandpa, Grandma!"

Wentura ran towards them after getting out of the car.

"Young master, it seems that your relationship with them is good. In fact, I think this kind of relationship is the most reliable."

"I asked someone for some supplements. When the things arrive, you can take them to Puerh and Kevin for research. If they can eat them, let them try."

"Puerh's effect should not be great, but Kevin's effect should be significant." Alfred reminded.

At this time, Wentura's grandparents walked over. The old man looked very old. He bent down and said to Karun, "Sir, we have prepared some snacks and tea at home. Please come up and have some."

The old man had been a servant of the gods all his life, working in the administrative building of the church. In fact, he was the most basic member of the church staff, so he developed a habit of calling most of the people in the Order of the Gods "Sir".

Even though his grandson is outstanding now, his grandson has not graduated yet and does not have a position.

Karun wanted to refuse, but at this time, Wentura came over and said, "Please, be our guest."

The old lady added from behind, "He is the first friend that our Wentura has brought home."

Karun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Then, thank you for your hospitality."

There is no way, take one step at a time. Since he wants to recruit the other person's grandson as his subordinate in the future, he must establish a good relationship with the elder now.

Karun and Alfred got out of the car and followed them upstairs.

After entering the house, they found that the room was very clean and tidy, and the dining table was already prepared with snacks made by the old lady.

On the way, the old man kept talking about his grandson's affairs. Karun also heard that because of the "contamination," Wentura's personality was somewhat introverted, or rather, deeply shy. He usually doesn't have many friends, but fortunately, he is excellent enough to be appreciated by the principal.

The principal of the church school actually has a lot of power because he controls the channel for the church to receive fresh blood.

The two old people hope that their grandson can live a normal life in the future, just like the "Sir" in the church they admire, decent and respected.

Karun took a piece of egg cake, took a bite, it was soft and delicious, and the taste was very good.

While eating, Karun also looked around the environment in the house, and then found a painting hanging on the wall of the living room, but the painting was covered with black cloth.

Is it the portrait of Wentura's parents?

The old man saw Karun's gaze and immediately said, "This is the portrait of our benefactor."

"Portrait?"

"Yes, without him, there would be no Wentura. At that time, Wentura's parents were contaminated. They were already beyond saving. The church hospital couldn't do anything about it. The benefactor came to us and said he had a way to try. We agreed, there was nothing to disagree with, because at that time we knew that even if the benefactor's treatment method was not successful, the situation would not be worse."

"In the end, it succeeded?"

"Yes, it succeeded. The benefactor controlled the contamination of Wentura's parents and gave them three more years of torment-free life."

Three years later, they still passed away.

But Karun knew very well that this was already the best ending. It not only extended their lifespan by three years, but also gave them a dignified and quality life.

"At that time, Wentura's mother was already pregnant with him. At that time, she probably couldn't hold on until the child was born, but because of the benefactor's relationship, they not only gave birth to Wentura, but also saw him walking with their own eyes and heard their son speak. When they finally left, they were very peaceful."

"It's just that our Wentura suffered. He was also contaminated. This is the most guilty thing his mother felt before she died. She felt that she let her son suffer by giving birth to him."

"Grandpa, you're saying this again. I love my mother, I love my father, I love you, and I love my current life." Wentura spoke up."Yes, indeed. Thanks to the benefactor's arrangement, Wenthura has been polluted since birth, but he has been able to attempt to control the pollution within him. Although he has suffered greatly for it, he has not died prematurely due to the spread of the pollution. He is still very healthy now, isn't he?"

"Yes, he has a promising future ahead."

"I hope you will continue to guide him."

"I will. By the way, who is this benefactor?"

"We don't know his name, only that he is one of our followers. The benefactor's family must have been infected too. He was actually looking for and experimenting with treatment methods to save his own family. The benefactor made this very clear to us, but we are still very grateful to him. It's hard to imagine what our family would be like now if he hadn't appeared.

Unfortunately, we didn't have time to take a photo of the benefactor at the time, so we had to ask an artist to paint a portrait based on our description.

Wenthura, go and tell the benefactor that you have passed the regional selection. He will definitely be very happy."

"Alright, Grandpa."

Wenthura walked to the wall, gently removed the black cloth, revealing the portrait underneath.

The portrait was of an old man with silver-white hair, but a robust figure. He held a potion bottle in his left hand and an empty sword hilt in his right. On his face... was a silver mask.

Karun was stunned.

It was Dis!
