After dealing with the captain and hanging up the phone, Karun looked at Kevin and said, "It was just a joke."

Kevin immediately wagged his tail.

"The captain is not bad."

Kevin's tail immediately stopped wagging.

Puerh then extended her cat claws and patted Kevin, comforting him, "Think of it as paying for your good friend, the radio monster. After all, he can communicate with you."

Kevin turned his head to look at Alfred.

Puerh knew very well what kind of person Karun was. If there were no personal interests involved, he disliked unnecessary adventures.

Even if that thing was tempting, it would be difficult to persuade him.

Because Karun was raised by Dis...

So, the reason why Karun agreed to the captain's request and made an appointment to explore the burial site of the mythical beast Kompasini was purely for Alfred.

Hmph, fairy!

Alfred took a deep breath and said, "Young master, I think this is very dangerous. Young master, you should..."

"Alfred, let me ask you, is Kompasini's thing useful to you?"

"Subordinate... I can gain enhancements by devouring it, because the Enchanting Demon Eye can fully integrate and absorb it."

"That's enough." Karun smiled, "It's worth it."

"Young master..."

"Alright, we're friends, let's not say anything sour. The stronger you are, the more you can help me in the future, right?"

"Yes, young master!"

"Rest now. Oh, I'll give you this tooth."

"Don't you want to give it to the captain?" Alfred asked.

"Do you think he will give me back 5000 Order Coupons?"

"He probably won't."

"Then you keep it." Karun stretched and yawned, "Alright, I'm going to rest. You and Kevin..."

Alfred interrupted, "We will try to refine the egg by tomorrow morning."

Puerh added, "In fact, that egg is more anxious than us."

...

"This is the investigation report about Karun. Your father and I have already read it. Take a look."

"Okay, Mom."

Bart reached out and took the report.

A middle-aged man and woman sat face to face on chairs, sitting upright and exuding a sense of majesty.

The man said, "This report was sent by my friend from the Scout Camp to the district. It can only be called an official report. No one was specifically sent to investigate, but from this report, we can already see a lot of things."

The woman said, "The only eye-catching thing in this report is the scandal between Karun and the Darkmoon Island princess."

"Yes, in other aspects, it seems quite ordinary."

"The more ordinary, the more abnormal."

Bart put down the report and looked at his parents, saying, "Dad, Mom, are you saying that Karun is hiding his identity?"

"Son, Mom believes that there are geniuses in this world. In Mom's eyes, you belong to this category. Mom also believes that the Karun you admire is also a genius, and his talent may even surpass yours. But he is definitely not a simple orphan."

"Hehe, yes. Just by snatching the grandson of the Chief Bishop of Wofuren and being able to follow the Bishop to Darkmoon Island, and then being listed in this selection after returning, we can see some clues. The person behind Karun is someone who can make a Chief Bishop of a district, the number one person on the surface, feel jealous and even pull down his own face."

"And, the Richard he mentioned when he went 'up the mountain' is a descendant of the Guman family. Although the Guman family is only a family of judges, their status in the York City district is very special. We have many formation mages in our knight order who are disciples of Delon Guman."

"To be able to snatch the Chief Bishop's grandson and be friends with the Guman family's grandson means that he and them are actually in an equal relationship, and the former probably has a higher probability of surpassing the latter."

"Just like when you go out, you usually play with the younger children in the knight order because your circles are close, so you can play together."

"You don't need to pay too much attention to these. Whether he hides his family background from you or not, you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, what you admire about him is his strength. It's best to be friends with him, which may be beneficial to your future development."

"Don't be so utilitarian. It's enough that you have your own understanding. Also, the deputy captain talked to me today. He hopes you can strive to get that spot. I think the Gate of Reincarnation is not just a trial."

"The deputy captain didn't make it clear, maybe he was just conveying the captain's meaning. But I know that if you can come back safely from the Gate of Reincarnation, you will be truly cultivated in the Third Knight Order in the future. Even after you become a regular member, you can directly serve as the captain's bodyguard."

"Dad, Mom, please rest assured, I will succeed."

...

As the dawn broke, the city had not fully awakened from its slumber.

A luxury car stopped at the entrance of the Pavarro Funeral Home.

Dinkom, who was responsible for keeping watch and snoring last night, had already woken up and was sweeping the floor. When he saw the appearance of this luxury car, he subconsciously thought it was Vani and Pei Nuo coming to see their boss.

But upon closer inspection, he realized something was wrong. Although it was the same model of luxury car, the details of the body were different.

The luxury cars driven by Vani and Pei Nuo, whether it was the one they applied to use for security missions or the one the captain assembled himself, were embedded with many formations, which made the body slightly bulky. But this car didn't have that.

The car door opened, and a young girl walked out. After getting out of the car, she frowned and yawned when she saw the funeral home.

"Slap!"

A woman who came out from behind directly slapped the back of the girl's head and scolded, "Who are you frowning at?"

"Mom, it's normal to frown when coming to a funeral home early in the morning, right?"

"When asking for help, you should have the attitude of someone asking for help."

"What help? The things could have been delivered to us. It's you guys who insisted on coming in person."

At this time, a man also got out of the car and criticized Eslie, "Since we're here, we must have a purpose."The woman echoed, "You don't understand. If you can eventually enter the Gate of Reincarnation, when you come back, not only will your internship qualification become permanent, but you will also be given a separate office and lead your own team."

"Hmm?" Aisley covered her mouth. "Is it that exaggerated?"

He knew how high his parents' department level was. Having a separate office there meant that he could lead a project team and enjoy the treatment and resources given by the Divine Sect.

"If not, do we need to come here so early in the morning with such enthusiasm?" the woman asked in return.

"But who knows what kind of selection method will be used in the end. Just maintain a relationship with him and show him your support. I have already done it. At critical moments, I still have to rely on myself, right?"

"No," the man corrected, "I have inquired with similar departments in other regions. They also have children participating in this selection. This selection is special. Although it seems to be individual, each region's selection can still rely on the help of people around them."

"Hmm?"

"The York City region is considered the most concealed one. Several other regions have already had complaints about relying on group efforts to obtain spots. For example, your friend Karun took a friend up the mountain. If it wasn't for his friend not being able to withstand the altitude, and if it wasn't for Karun causing trouble for you in advance, it is highly likely that Karun could have obtained a spot with his friend."

"But why does everyone have to be arranged in the same illusion?"

"Isn't it simpler this way?" Aisley asked.

The man smiled. "I consulted the master of formation in the sect who helped treat the injured formation beast last time. Her answer was that doing it this way would be more burdensome. On the contrary, if each person had their own illusion, the maintenance cost would be much lower, countless times lower. Illusions, when conducted individually, are definitely easier for a person compared to a group, because there would be more changes and unexpected factors between people."

"Dad, are you saying...?"

"It's intentional. The final selection will likely rely on teamwork as well. Aisley, you need to understand that the purpose of this selection is to form a team of 12 people to enter the Gate of Reincarnation for the trial, not to select the most outstanding 12 people in this age group. Of course, the final 12 selected will definitely be outstanding."

"The purpose of the selection is to find the most suitable team to enter the trial inside the Gate of Reincarnation."

"I understand, Dad."

At this moment, Dingkem walked up and asked, "Excuse me, are you looking for someone?"

Aisley spoke up, "We're here to find Karun. Is he at home?"

"The boss hasn't woken up yet. Let me inform him first. Please wait."

Dingkem immediately went back to the backyard to deliver the message.

Alfred, Kevin, and Puerh, who had not slept all night, were staring at the refining process. The consciousness of the egg had been completely wiped away, and it had turned into blue liquid inside a magical container. However, another round of purification was still needed.

"Guests? Alright, I got it."

Alfred poured the last drop of refining reagent into the bottle. In another three hours, the liquid in the bottle would separate into layers, and the clear liquid on top would be the final product.

Alfred placed the bottle in a sealed cabinet. It was a cabinet with a formation that he had bought from the black market.

"Ah~ We're going to sleep. We're tired, meow."

"Woof!"

"Alright, you guys go rest. I'll go see who the guests are. If it's not important, let them wait in the front hall. The young master hasn't woken up yet."

Alfred arrived at the front hall. When he saw Aisley, he instantly realized that these guests were not ordinary.

Because after the last gathering, he was the one who picked up the young master. Although he only drove Ventra back, Aisley and Bart had also walked past his car. As an excellent butler, it was basic professional etiquette to remember the appearance and identity of everyone the young master interacted with.

Ventra came from an ordinary family, but the other two, one was a knight's child, and the other was from the advanced research institute within the Divine Sect.

Could they be her parents?

As Alfred walked from the entrance to Aisley and her parents, a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Miss Aisley, welcome. And who are these two?"

Alfred didn't overdo his greeting to Aisley, such as saying, "My young master mentioned you last night" or "My young master has always been impressed by your personality." Because Alfred knew what his young master had been most troubled about. He didn't dare to dig a pit for his young master in terms of relationships between men and women.

"Hello, I am Aisley's father, Santos. This is my wife, Serena. Aisley, Mr. Karun has two pets at home. My wife and I thought that just sending some pet supplements might not be thoughtful enough. After all, supplements cannot be taken casually. The ones that can be taken casually often have no effect. So, we specially came here to personally help you check and provide a plan that can help these two pets develop in a better direction."

Alfred still had a smile on his face, but his heart "thumped" for a moment.

What? They came to make a development plan for Puerh and Kevin?

Alfred felt that his two pets didn't need any further development or evolution. After all, they had just cooperated with him to refine the heart of a senior disciple of the Sea God Sect. This was definitely a difficult task for cats and dogs raised by other families.

But Alfred didn't dare to refuse directly. He decided to first ask his young master. The most important thing was that the other party's identity and status were here. Although they were only in the research department, the higher-level research departments had influence that was not inferior to actual power departments.

"Please wait for a moment and have some tea. Oh, have you had breakfast? I'll have someone prepare it. I'll go inform my young master."

"Alright, you can go." Santos showed no airs.

"Dingkem, pour some tea."Walking to the backyard, Karun saw Shili who had just walked out of the bedroom door. Alfred ordered, "There are guests, make breakfast."

"Yes, Mr. Alfred."

Alfred walked to the master bedroom door and knocked.

After a while, the door was opened, and Kevin opened the door.

"Is the young master awake?" Alfred asked.

"What's the matter?" Karun's voice came from inside the room.

"Young master, Aisley and her parents are here to check on Puerh and Kevin."

Puerh, who had just lay down on the bed, suddenly sat up, puzzled, "What?"

Kevin also perked up his ears, as if he had misheard.

"At the front door?" Karun asked.

"Yes, they have arrived."

"Why are they so enthusiastic..." Karun was a bit puzzled. If it was just a matter between young people, their parents wouldn't need to get involved. "Could it be that they heard something about the final selection and need me?"

Karun felt that this was the only explanation that made sense.

In addition, even if Aisley went back and her parents liked him and wanted her to marry him, they wouldn't come early in the morning to discuss wedding matters.

It must be related to the final selection because it was starting tomorrow and they couldn't wait.

"It's not a bad idea to have a check-up." Karun looked at Puerh. "A good body will facilitate your quick recovery and allow you to exert more power at this stage, right? Oh, by the way, you can put that finger away for now."

Puerh heard this and asked in confusion, "You mean, they specialize in cultivating demon beasts?"

Karun added, "And they specialize in cultivating rare demon beasts."

"But I still find it strange." Puerh said.

"Woof!" Kevin wagged his tail excitedly.

It can be seen that Kevin is very willing to improve his physical fitness.

Karun made a decision and said, "Let's just go through the motions. We can't not give them face. Alfred, ask them to wait for a moment, I'll freshen up."

"Okay, young master."

Karun got up and walked into the bathroom.

"Woof!"

Kevin barked at Puerh.

"No, I haven't thought about improving my physical fitness. I have always dreamed of turning back directly. What about you? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Woof!"

"That's nonsense. I never thought I would turn into a dog. How could I think I would turn into a cat!"

"Woof?"

"That was just for fun. It was a hobby to turn into a cat before, but I never thought of turning my hobby into a profession."

"Woof."

"Well, let's just deal with them. They are mainly here for Karun, and we are just accompanying gifts."

After Karun finished washing up and changed his clothes, he went to the kitchen to meet Aisley and her parents. Instead of waiting in the living room, they were eating breakfast in the kitchen. Shili made wonton noodles for them according to Karun's taste.

It can be seen that this suits their taste very well. They ate happily, with an empty bowl in front of each person, indicating that they had refilled their bowls.

Anyway, in the Wien area where the trend is to enjoy strong-flavored food, it is really not easy to meet someone who appreciates light and delicious food.

"Karun!" Aisley saw Karun.

"You are Karun?" Serena found Karun unexpectedly handsome and couldn't help but look at him, then at her daughter.

For a mother with a marriageable daughter, it is almost instinctive to evaluate whether a suitable man can be a match for her daughter.

Moreover, her husband had also analyzed that Karun's background might not be simple.

Santos stood up and said, "Karun, Aisley said you look very handsome at home, but I didn't expect you to be so handsome, just like me when I was young."

"Dad!"

"Hello, Uncle, Auntie."

As they came as distinguished guests, Karun wouldn't be impolite. They were so polite, so he would definitely respond politely.

"I haven't had breakfast either, let's eat together."

Karun had a bowl of noodles and chatted along the way. This feeling was like when distant relatives came to visit the whole family.

Originally, Karun thought that Aisley's personality meant that her parents were probably not good at socializing, but the reality was quite the opposite. Santos and his wife were very smooth.

Of course, they should be proud in normal times, but this time it involved their precious daughter's future, so they were willing to lower their faces.

After breakfast, Santos and his wife immediately suggested conducting a pet check-up.

Karun agreed, but the location of the check-up was not arranged in his master bedroom or study, but in the workroom that originally belonged to Lady Lake, where she used to do makeup for the corpses.

It's just that because Karun changed the service target of the funeral home, Lady Lake hasn't used that studio for a long time.

Puerh and Kevin walked over, and to avoid appearing special, Puerh did not sit on Kevin's back this time.

At the door, Mrs. Serena gently picked up Puerh and walked in.

Mr. Santos led Kevin inside, closing the door.

The workroom had only a door and no windows.

Soon, there was a fluctuation of energy waves from the examination technique inside.

After a while, the door was opened, and Kevin and Puerh walked out. Kevin rushed towards Karun and rubbed against his leg, while Puerh was directly picked up by Karun, deliberately showing a pet's affectionate behavior towards its owner.

Mr. Santos's voice came from inside the room, "Mr. Karun, the physical condition of your two pets is very good, but they do not belong to the category of demon beasts, they are just ordinary pets. So we will provide you with a breeding plan. Through our plan, their fur will be shinier and their bodies will be healthier. Please wait."

"Okay, thank you so much for your hard work." Karun, standing outside, thanked the two experts who specialized in breeding rare demon beasts. Today, they specially came to work as pet doctors. They really put in a lot of effort.Aisley was slightly surprised. It seemed that Karun really loved these two pets, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to take some coupons from here to feed them. She was a bit disappointed in her heart. They were just ordinary pets. She had originally thought that they must at least be low-level monsters or ones with spiritual intelligence.

"Aisley, do you have a pen?"

"Yes, mother, I'll get it for you."

Aisley took out a pen and pushed the door into the study.

Inside the study,

Her father and mother,

Their faces were as pale as death.
