Chapter 331 – Ah, youth

Karun did not extend his sleep time because he had to go to the Ding District tonight. He walked out of the bedroom at seven in the morning and had a simple breakfast of two sandwiches and a cup of hot milk.

Mr. Joto's funeral will begin at nine o'clock in the morning. Shili and Mrs. Lake are busy cleaning and processing the ingredients. After breakfast, Karun came over to start the preparation of the simple meal.

The simple meal is self-service, and the dishes are not complicated.

On the menu list formulated by Karun, there are four cold dishes: spicy boneless chicken feet, cold pork ears, cold jellyfish, and Wien sauce beans.

Among them, Wien sauce beans are a cold dish that Wien people never miss in their daily banquets.

There are six hot dishes: braised ribs, soybean chicken pieces, eggplant cakes, spring rolls, candied sweet potatoes, and lion's head.

The staple food is pancakes and fried noodles, and the dessert after the meal is white fungus soup.

This is not the first time Karun has organized a funeral at the Pavarro Funeral Society, but it is the first time he has prepared a meal because either he did not anticipate that there would be guests in the previous few times, or he knew for sure that there would be no guests.

Alfredo is busy with the final details with Pick and Dingkom in front, while Karun leads Shili and Mrs. Lake in the kitchen for preparation.

At this time, a young face appeared at the kitchen door, it was Aisley.

Although it has become a default rule for the team to gather here before going to the Academic Affairs Building, she came a bit too early today.

When passing through the front hall earlier, Alfredo was busy with the final arrangements with Pick and Dingkom, so he let Miss Aisley come in by herself, omitting the notification process. Alfredo knew very well what could be omitted and what could not be omitted.

Aisley looked at Karun skillfully cooking with an apron tied around his waist, feeling unreal.

Women are always easily attracted to men who can cook, of course, on the premise that they are not only good at cooking.

Karun glanced at the door and ordered directly, "Help with the work."

"Oh, okay, Captain!"

Aisley did not resist at all and came in to help, but she had never cooked before and didn't understand anything in the kitchen. Mrs. Lake thoughtfully arranged for her to wash the vegetables.

After a while, Bart also came. Before he came in, he felt a little embarrassed, wondering if he came too early and seemed too eager.

But when he saw Aisley washing vegetables there, he felt relieved. Huh, someone came even earlier than me.

"Captain!"

"Knead the dough."

"Okay!"

Bart went to make the dough. Shili directed him, and all he needed to do was knead the dough hard.

The last one to come was Wintura. He was still carrying a plastic bag, and inside it were the snacks made by his grandmother.

"Aisley, Bart." Wintura greeted them one by one, and finally shouted, "Captain!"

"Distribute the snacks to everyone, and then help."

"Okay, Captain."

Wintura carried the bag and gave snacks to everyone who was busy. Puerh was sitting on Kevin's back, walking around the yard and basking in the sun. When Puerh saw Wintura carrying the bag of snacks and walking past them, it walked back. When Wintura fed it a snack, Puerh didn't eat it because it had a fixed time for snacks every day, but it held the snack with its paws and gave Wintura a cute expression.

After Wintura left, Puerh shouted, "Stupid dog!"

Kevin turned his head, opened his mouth, and Puerh released its paw. The snack fell into Kevin's mouth, and Kevin chewed it with relish. It is not picky about food.

After distributing the snacks, Wintura rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to help. He has done a lot of cooking at home, although he finds Karun's dishes very novel, his ability to assist is much higher than the other two.

The food was almost ready, Karun looked up at the clock, half past nine.

He walked to the sink to wash his hands, then looked at the three of them and said, "Did you bring the suitcases? Go to my bedroom and change into the robes. The funeral today is for the people of our Order of the Gods."

After changing clothes, Karun led the people to the mourning hall. At this time, there were already seven or eight people in the mourning hall, all members of the Joto team.

Karun arranged for Wintura and Aisley to follow Pick to serve tea, and let Bart and Dingkom stand at the door to receive guests. He himself walked to the mortuary table and silently recited the mythical narrative part of "The Light of Order".

In the eyes of true believers, being able to rest in peace while listening to the deeds of the gods is a great happiness.

The walls of the mourning hall are hung with portraits, showing the life stories of Mr. Joto.

When he believed in order, when he joined the Order of the Gods, when he joined the Order of the Whip, what achievements he made, what praise he received...

These paintings were painted by Alfredo with Dora and Doreen. Mourners can use these paintings to recall the life of the deceased.

In fact, from Karun's perspective, Mr. Joto's life did not have many thrilling moments, and there were almost no shining points that caught Karun's attention.

But this is the true portrayal of most people's lives.

With more and more mourners coming, it can at least prove one thing, that is, Mr. Joto was a good person in his work and life.

Especially when Karun saw Neo himself wearing the robes of the Order of the Gods coming to mourn, he could almost judge Mr. Joto's character.

Because as a captain, he is the same kind of person as Neo, selfish, greedy, and not fond of being bound by rules, but he respects people with noble character.

After paying respects to Mr. Joto's remains, Neo stood beside Karun and recited "The Light of Order" together with him, saying:

"Your new subordinates are obedient. It seems that you have trained them well, and I don't have to worry about the combat effectiveness of your team in the future."

"I am the captain, after all.""I know this is a lie, but I'm still glad to hear it," Neo looked at Mr. Jotto lying in the coffin in front of him. "Jotto, look at this guy's subordinates. If we can recruit such elite subordinates, we might even wake up from dreaming with a smile."

From both the perspective of strength and background, Bart and the others are almost impossible to start from being members of the Order Whip. It is only under the opportunity of internal reform that they have the possibility of forming this elite Order Whip team.

"Captain, do you know Mr. Jotto?"

"I know him, but not very well. There was a time when we could have shared the spoils, but he disagreed. I was so angry that I almost wanted to dig a pit for his team and count it as a casualty."

"I just had something to eat over there. Did you make it?"

"Yes."

"It tastes good. I saved some room in my stomach. I'll eat more before I leave. Will there be enough food? It seems like it's being snatched up over there."

"There will be."

"Then I can rest assured."

Neo took out a gold envelope from his pocket. Mr. Jotto has no children, so the gold envelope is mainly used to pay for his funeral expenses.

The envelopes today are very thin because they contain coupons.

"The funeral is well arranged, very innovative and detailed. Most of the people who came to mourn this time are colleagues from the Order Whip. Their mortality rate is high, so you won't be short of business in the future."

Karun felt that his captain was always good at finding incredible but reasonable ideas from one thing.

"Be careful when you go to the Ding District. There are many important figures there, especially the other team. Their parents or grandparents are basically serving in the Holy See."

"I will be low-key."

"Just be reasonably low-key. Anyway, you can handle it yourself. I think after you go to the Ding District, you probably won't come back to York City, but go directly to the Reincarnation Valley from there."

Good luck to you. I'll wait for you to come back and help me promote to captain of the squadron."

"Okay, I understand."

"Oh, by the way, I brought you a little gift. It's prepared by Vani. It's in the gift box over there. Let someone open it later."

"Thank you, Captain."

"You keep busy. I'll take the dog for a walk in the backyard."

Search "pawread dot com" for the original.

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain."

"No problem, it's my duty."

Karun still stood here, continuing to recite the deeds of the God of Order for Mr. Jotto.

Here, the God of Order does not represent the supreme existence, but music, drinks, beds, and pillows.

However, just like the captain said, during the entire funeral, people kept coming forward to talk to him and handed him their business cards.

Among them, some knew his identity and wanted to chat for a while, but the main purpose was to "register" with him in advance.

Because those who gave him their business cards were mostly captains of various Order Whip teams. After finishing their conversation, they almost all sighed:

"What a nice funeral."

The exquisite arrangement, the nostalgic theme, and the delicious simple meals made them hope that they or their team members could also bid farewell in this way after an accident.

Although the Pavaro Funeral Home is not as large as the Inmolese Funeral Home, even after renovation, its scale and level are still a bit different from the Inmolese Funeral Home. But the Order Priests here are not very concerned about the things that can be measured by Reel. What they want is this warmth.

Eisley, Ventula, and Bart have been helping with the funeral, maintaining the operation of the entire mourning ceremony without any slack.

The funeral lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the guests who came to mourn left. Pike and Dinkom were responsible for sending Mr. Jotto's body to the cemetery for burial. Karun did not go with them, but had a late lunch with Ventula and the others.

A funeral is a memorial to the deceased, but also a baptism for the living.

After the baptism, the feeling of being "alive" becomes clearer, and it is reflected in the appetite. Everyone ate a lot.

Alfred opened the gift box as instructed by Karun. Inside were 13 pairs of silver masks.

The difference between these masks and the silver masks of the Hound Team is quite big, because this set looks more ferocious, and it has shifted from "human masks" to "demon masks".

Karun gestured for Alfred to show everyone this set of masks. As a result, Bart, Ventula, and Eisley each took one and liked them.

This made Karun a little embarrassed. He originally wanted everyone to think that these masks were ugly, and then he would instruct Alfred to order a larger set from Mr. Lemar when he left. But obviously, everyone misunderstood.

Especially Eisley, a girl, exaggeratedly held up this ugly and ferocious mask and commented, "So cute."

Forget it, let's just leave it like this. Consider it a small gift.

But these masks are so ugly and eye-catching that only fools would wear them.

After finishing the meal, Karun returned to his bedroom to rest.

He touched Kevin's bald head and then rubbed Puerh's neck on his lap.

"After I come back this time, life will be different. I'll be busy."

"I know, our little Karun is about to start a new career. You work hard outside, and I'll work hard at home to eat nourishing food."

"And you, stupid dog, you have to work hard to eat hair growth tonic."

"Woof woof woof!"

If Kevin just barked once, it would be fine, but it barked several times in a row, which means it has something to say.

"The stupid dog wants to dismantle this refrigerator halfway and study it again during this time, to see if it can be used as the center of a teleportation array, and then arrange a larger array on this basis for the effect to spread."

Karun has been reading books on arrays these days, and his understanding of arrays is not as superficial as before, so he immediately asked, "What specific effect do you want to achieve? Increase its teleportation efficiency?"

"Woof woof woof woof!""Dumb dog, its idea is to set up another teleportation guiding array in the performance hall of the Allen Manor, and then use this refrigerator as a base to create an expanded guide in our backyard warehouse.

If this design is finally implemented, Karun, you will be able to use that small orb to summon things other than the Sword of Arlus.

For example, during a fight, you can summon Count Rekar and Old Saman to help you fight."

Karun said, "I haven't solved the problem of continuously supplying them with survival time yet."

"Woof!"

"The dumb dog's plan to succeed under the current conditions is still a long way off."

Karun laughed, "But I won't deny that this picture is very exciting."

When all the conditions are mature and implemented, others summon illusions to help in a fight, and he can directly pull people out of the coffin.

Although there are only two characters to choose from now,

But don't forget,

He still has ten empty coffins!

If one day, all twelve coffins are filled, and Puerh, as his symbiotic creature, has also recovered, then when he encounters a fight, he can really just stand by and drink coffee.

Karun put the back of his hand in front of him,

Kevin put his dog paw on it, and Puerh also put her cat paw on it.

"Let's work hard together!"

"Meow!"

"Woof!"

……

Pike and Dingkum drove the hearse back, which meant it was time to depart. Everyone sent their suitcases to the hearse, and Alfred was still driving.

Karun thought that maybe riding in a hearse for missions would become a tradition for his team.

Should he, like the captain, modify a magic hearse?

But that seems a bit expensive, the captain also gritted his teeth to get a limousine.

Forget it, wait until he becomes the captain and can take on missions, then slowly fish.

When they arrived at the administrative building, it was close to seven o'clock. After the hearse reported its identity, a guide led them directly into the underground layer.

Guided, Karun learned that the teleportation array for his group was in area F-3.

Outside the teleportation array, Karun saw two familiar faces, Leon and Laurie.

This time, Leon and Laurie took the initiative to greet Karun, appearing very enthusiastic.

Karun responded with a subtle and reserved polite smile.

Karun didn't ask them why they were here, they volunteered:

"We just happen to be going to the Ding District today to deliver documents to the department, so we're hitching a ride on your teleportation array."

"Do you guys also need to hitch a ride?"

"It's different, some places can be a bit special, but some places, can't touch this kind of special." Laurie explained.

In the past, business trips, depending on the level, the treatment is also different, especially this kind of long-distance transmission, the gap between high-level teleportation array and low-level teleportation array in time and experience is very large.

During the previous district selection, everyone was sitting in a high-level teleportation array, and the district would not let its selectors drop their status due to the teleportation array before the selection.

When the time came, the array opened.

Accompanied by a white light shield, a slight vibration came from the body, and Karun and others appeared in the teleportation array hall of the Ding District.

Because the distance is too far, so there is a time difference, York City is now at night, while the Ding District here, is morning.

"We'll go first." Leon waved to Karun.

Laurie said, "We have to stay in the Ding District for a few days to get a stamp, if you have time, let's have a meal."

Karun responded, "Okay, if I have time."

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

As soon as the two young masters left, Karun saw Mars and Blanche dragging their suitcases running over.

Ventura took out two silver ferocious masks from his backpack and handed them to them, and they both reached out to take them.

Bart and Esley behind thought this was Karun's instruction, and they took out their masks and put them on their faces.

Ventura was stunned for a moment, he was just helping to distribute to the newly joined teammates;

That, should we wear it? Then I'll wear it too.

Mars and Blanche are not from the York City District after all, psychologically they feel a layer of distance from their companions in the York City District compared to Karun.

This made them a little anxious, because they both have a knight background, and their families also told them about the upcoming reform arrangements, so they have a stronger need to actively integrate and fit in.

Therefore, without any hesitation, they immediately put the masks on their faces.

The entire team, except for Karun, everyone was wearing a mask.

This directly attracted a lot of attention in the bustling teleportation array hall.

Some were observing, some were curious, some were laughing.

Karun looked at his team members who were wearing masks and standing in a line behind him.

After hesitating for a moment,

Karun muttered to himself in his heart:

"Okay, I'm the fool."

Then, he took out his mask and put it on his face.

With a wave of his hand, Karun walked forward.

Six young men wearing devil masks walked out with extremely confident steps.

Pushing open the door of the hall, the bright sunshine shone down, accompanied by vitality and vigor.

Karun couldn't help but sigh:

"Ah, youth......"
