Karun turned his head and took a glance, just a glance.
Then, with a calm gaze, he looked at Mawarayu and half-bowed, saying:
"Me."
There was no need to refuse, no need to pretend to discuss the process, and no need to console or appease anyone.
Because according to the four conditions proposed by Mawarayu earlier, the most qualified person was himself.
Karun understood that the retreat of his subordinates was not because they were oppressed by his position as captain and dared not fight for it, nor because they didn't want this authority, but because there was no reason for them to speak up.
During the selection in the district, Bart and others witnessed Karun's terrifying soul power. During the final selection, everyone witnessed Karun's leadership and his ability to suppress the spiritual power of the illusion beasts alone. Masu knew that the captain had a high level of formation skills.
Their captain seemed to have no weaknesses in terms of strength. He could do all the work of the entire team by himself.
In fact, if it were not for this authority, but for other rewards, everyone would default to giving it to the captain.
Because it would make them uncomfortable to give it to someone else, but giving it to the captain...everyone would feel at ease.
Muri noticed the situation of Karun's team and realized that the difference between captains was really huge.
Muri could only smile bitterly.
He wasn't jealous because he knew that by relying on Dingge District's connections, he had formed this team, and as a result, he would inevitably lose the great prestige he could have gained by personally forming a team.
No one can gain advantages in everything without paying a price.
Mawarayu nodded at Karun, showing a hint of praise in his eyes.
Karun caught this praise and analyzed the other party's attitude in his heart.
The other party was about the same age as himself, so he had no reason to lie at this moment. After all, he was a mentor, and the older the mentor, the more it would highlight their temperament and identity.
So, he wasn't old but looked young.
Husen respected him, and this respect had nothing to do with position or family, because he didn't have a surname.
Finally, there was only one possibility left...bloodline.
Not the bloodline in the sense of family, but one inherited from another place.
In this way, it could be understood why the other party showed a "commendation" emotion from the perspective of an elder.
Husen walked to Mawarayu's side and whispered, "Karun Silva."
"Oh, I remember him."
Husen stepped back again. Originally, he was supposed to pay special attention to this young man named Karun today because not only did he knock down Liven yesterday, but he also made Liven voluntarily admit it.
If that old guy didn't genuinely like this young man, he wouldn't have done this.
Unfortunately, today was supposed to be his own class and his own home ground, where he could have a more relaxed conversation with this interesting young man. Now, he had lost the opportunity.
Muri's team's voting ended, and the rule was not to vote for oneself.
In the end, Muri won the opportunity with the advantage of votes, but when he walked to Karun's side, he still looked a bit embarrassed.
The only thing he could hope for now was to gather everyone's parents during the gap between the end of training and the departure to the Reincarnation Valley and hold a meeting to reiterate unity.
In the past, he didn't think much of it. Being born into such a family, he had long been accustomed to discussions, compromises, and maintaining unity in terms of face.
But now, he tasted frustration from Karun, making him not want to be the captain anymore.
"Please extend your hands."
Karun and Muri obeyed the order and extended their hands.
Mawarayu placed both hands on his chest, and soon, a sparkling light appeared. His lips began to move rapidly, reciting a prayer.
Karun couldn't hear clearly what he was saying, not only because of the speed of speech, but also because there was a layer of soul power rippling, causing great interference.
But he could still hear a few key words:
"Machetini...Order Roulette...Summoning in the name of..."
Did Mawarayu have a connection with Machetini, one of the Twelve Knights?
Karun didn't know, and it wasn't convenient to ask now.

The prayer ended, and two golden strands of light appeared in the sparkling circle in Mawarayu's hands. The golden light slowly formed two runes, which were then imprinted on the backs of Karun and Muri's hands before disappearing.
Did they obtain the authority just like that?
There didn't seem to be anything special happening, nor did they feel anything special.
It was like pork being released into the market with a qualified inspection seal that could be easily washed away.
Karun looked at Muri and found that Muri was also looking at him. Obviously, he was also puzzled.
Mawarayu let go of their hands, and the previous sparkling light dissipated. He turned his head and nodded to Husen.
Husen took out two scrolls from his pocket and said:"One person takes one, this is the summoning technique of the 'Black Prison Castle'. It can withstand 10 mental readings. You should read it together with your teammates, preferably in sections, to understand and practice it faster and master the summoning technique to summon your own 'Black Prison Castle'.
In addition, there is one more thing. Today's class time is theoretically long because we have calculated that it will take you about one to two days to assemble this technique as a team. Therefore, the end of the course will be two days before going to the Reincarnation Valley, as the last day will be reserved for the final class, where a special teacher will introduce you to the situation inside the Gate of Reincarnation and the task you will undertake this time.
In other words, if you can master this technique as a team as soon as possible, the last day of class can start earlier, leaving you with the days before going to the Reincarnation Valley.
Karun, you can have fun with your teammates in Saint Antis."
"Yes, teacher," Karun smiled and nodded. He didn't think that the mention of his team was because they were looked down upon, but rather because most of the members of the Muri team were natives of the Dingge District.
Mawaraya spoke up, "There is another benefit we can give you. We will match you with weapons based on the quality and style of the 'Black Prison Castle' you summon."
Muri asked, "Will the style of the 'Black Prison Castle' change?"
Mawaraya nodded, "There will be no change within the Knight Order, as the military emphasizes a unified style. Oh, my wording is not precise enough. Within the Knight Order, a unified style is emphasized, but within that unified style, there can still be variations in the height, width, number of floors, and other aspects of the castle."
Husen said, "So, hurry up. The sooner you master this technique, the more time you will have to rest, and you will be able to choose your weapons from the list we can provide more calmly. These can all be directly reimbursed, and there won't be such benefits in the future."
Karun thought to himself: It seems that the task after entering the Gate of Reincarnation is very important, otherwise the Order of Gods wouldn't pay such a high price.
Mawaraya said, "Alright, you can leave the castle now and practice on the open ground. Someone will provide you with food and fresh water."
Karun noticed a hint of melancholy and regret in Mawaraya's gaze.
What is he melancholic and regretful about?
Muri took the scroll and led his team downstairs. When Karun was about to go down as well, he hesitated for a moment, turned around, and faced Mawaraya again.
"Teacher."
"What else?"
"I want to witness the power of the 'Black Prison Castle' because I think it can give us a more intuitive understanding and accelerate our progress."
Mawaraya looked at Husen.
Husen nodded and said, "This is a legitimate request from the students and also what the teaching requires. Of course, it is allowed."
Mawaraya smiled.
...
The two team members walked out of the castle and arrived on the open ground.
Karun waved to Muri, who walked over.
"The mentor will demonstrate the power of the 'Black Prison Castle' first."
"Okay." Muri immediately turned to his team and ordered, "Everyone come and watch."
Then, Muri whispered to Karun, "What do you think of him?"
"I don't know."
"I have a guess." Muri said.
"Tell me."
"There is a type of people who are naturally outstanding." Muri smiled, "I don't envy them."
"Can you be more specific?"
"Many sects within the Order of Gods have the existence of 'God's Child', you know?"
"I've heard of it. Are you saying he is...?"
"I suspect that he is the inheritor of Marchettini."
"Inheritor? Why not use the term 'reincarnator'?"
"He probably only inherited some memories and spirituality belonging to Marchettini. I don't deny the existence of pure divine reincarnators, but I don't think they would come here to teach us. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand. Gods don't have such good temperaments, nor would they do such boring things."
"Exactly."
...
"If I had known that I could try it out once, I wouldn't have summoned this standard 'Black Prison Castle' and matched it with these standard weapons."
Upon hearing this, Husen quickly said, "Please control yourself.""Hehe." Malvalio nodded. "Do you know, in my mind, there are often some broken images. The most frequent one is me controlling a [Black Prison Castle], blocking the front, and behind it is..."
Husen immediately crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Praise the great God of Order."
"Actually, I have always known that I am not Marchettini. I am just fortunate enough to have obtained a small fragment of Marchettini's memories."
"This is a miracle. Even a small fragment of memory is enough to make you great."
"Yes, so I have always been grateful."
Malvalio closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Black Prison Castle, prepare for battle!"
"Roar!!!"
...
Under the gaze of Karun and the others, the black color of the castle began to shine. When the black color became shiny, it gave a sense of fragmentation, as if the castle in front of their eyes had been cut out from this space.
Suffocation and oppression began to surge like a tide, interpreting the meaning of a weapon of war with its might.
At this moment, it seemed to have come alive and opened its eyes!
The Penetrating Crossbow began to charge up and shot forward with a "buzz", hitting the forest in front. In an instant, the forest seemed to have been plowed by chopsticks on a pile of flour, and on both sides of this line, the trees were completely stripped of their leaves.
Karun could hardly imagine how he would escape from this arrow if he was the target. Even if he could escape, being grazed by the shockwave of the arrow would cause great damage to his body. Those leaves that were swept away could very well be his flesh and blood.
The Res Magic Mirror started to work, and a black barrier fell, completely covering the castle.
"A defensive formation?" Muri asked.
"No, it's an amplification formation," Karun corrected. "After amplifying oneself, the effect is sent out from the magic crystal cannon."
Indeed, the magic crystal cannon started to move, charging up.
Terrifying energy fluctuations came, and everything around instantly fell into silence, as if everything around had been reduced to the constantly accumulating black vortex inside the cannon.
Finally,
Accompanied by a sharp whistle,
A black torrent shot out, not landing on the island but on the sea surface.
The black color dispersed,
"Boom!"
A huge vortex was blasted on the sea surface, and where Karun and the others stood, it started to rain, with fish and shrimp occasionally falling down.
If Karun was still considering how to dodge the initial arrow, then when the magic crystal cannon was fired, if he couldn't predict its launch in advance and dodge it when it was fired, it would be too late. The range of its damage was enough to ignore most forms of teleportation.
"It seems a bit exaggerated, doesn't it?" Karun asked.
Muri nodded and said, "Indeed."
"Or maybe, the effect he used is different from what we and the members of the Knight Order used?"
"That's possible."
After the demonstration, the [Black Prison Castle] began to dissipate, and the three war machines dissipated along with it.
Karun began to estimate the teleportation distance of the war machines. Their appearance should be essentially the same as when he teleported the Sword of Achilles. There should be teleportation points nearby or in this area where they could be transported.
So, if they were transported here and then transported back, using their own refrigerator for calculations, the conservative estimate of the value of teleportation crystals consumed would be over 20,000 Order Coupons.
In fact, their own refrigerator was still known for being "cheap", so the cost could only be higher than this.
The expenses for this teaching were really high...
If it were Karun himself, he would probably have someone transport the three war machines back to save some costs.
But then another problem arose. How did they provide war machines to himself and Muri's two teams? How did they achieve this provision?
This kind of teleportation probably had to set up a teleportation array near the Valley of Reincarnation, so that when oneself and Muri's team entered the Gate of Reincarnation and used the [Black Prison Castle], they could replenish the war machines.
So, would they use the method of the delegation's residence to set up the structure there?
If that was the case, would they have another chance to retrieve their things?
It was obvious that Malvalio had previously set up a teleportation array inside the castle to teleport the three war machines back. Their two teams would not use it unless it was necessary. Even if they used it, it would be impossible to spend a long time after using it to draw a reverse teleportation array to send the machines back.
Even if he wanted to send them back, the Order of the Chaos God's camp outside probably wouldn't set up a receiving array to bring your things back.
And even if you didn't use them, these war machines wouldn't be directly given to you, let alone let you take them away.
So, the so-called welfare was actually a disposable item. Husen had played a word game earlier.The equipment provided by the Divine Church can only be used within the Gate of Reincarnation.
After the trial of the Gate of Reincarnation ends, if you want to use the "Black Prison Castle" again, you have to save up some tickets to purchase war equipment.
The captain had to pay such a high price to assemble a luxury car, how much would it cost to get war equipment that is only supplied to the Knights?
Moreover, the cost of summoning it once is also very expensive, and it requires an upgrade of your own refrigerator, otherwise, it won't fit at all.
In short, with my current assets, if I use this thing for a fight, I would be bankrupt.
At this moment, Karun finally understood why the captain was so obsessed and pursued tickets.
Because after becoming a captain, you see a lot of good things, and these good things all have one common flaw... they're expensive!
Captain, I will never accuse you of being stingy about plastic rings again.
Karun sighed, he hadn't become a captain yet, nor had he officially formed his own team, but he was already thinking about how to earn tickets.
...
Mawaluo and Husen came over, Husen said, "You can start reading the content on the scroll now, try to make some progress before midnight."
"Yes." Karun.
"Yes." Muri.
The two teams each formed a circle, with their respective captains starting the reading.
Karun opened the scroll and entered it with his consciousness.
He had encountered many similar magic imprint scrolls, whether they were given to him by Puerh and Kevin or by Richard, but those were one-time scrolls, which could only be read once after imprinting. This scroll could be read ten times, meaning it was more expensive.
Twenty minutes later, Muri and Karun both finished their readings and passed the scroll to the next team member.
"How is it?" Pasio asked Muri.
Muri replied, "I tried to understand the first fifth, the rest of you record the following parts in batches, then spend an afternoon digesting it, I think by evening, we can try the first summoning with me as the medium in the team mode.
They should be about the same, no, they should be a bit later than us, because this tests the strength of all individuals in the team. I admit that our overall strength is not as good as theirs, but in terms of individual strength, we are definitely better than them..."
Pasio: "Captain..."
"Hmm, what's up?"
"Look over there."
Muri turned his head to look at Karun's team, and his eyes widened instantly.
"This... how is this possible!"
...
Karun passed the scroll to Mars, but Mars directly handed it to Bart,
Said:
"Captain, you digest the beginning part, I digest the end part, the beginning and end parts are generally the most complicated and cannot be wrong, let's control it."
"Oh, okay."
Bart asked, "Captain, how much of the beginning are you going to digest? I'll divide the rest."
"How much?"
"How many parts." Bart said, "So I can discuss each part with everyone."
"How many parts? Let me think..."
Karun spread his hands, began to think and recall, his fingertips moving non-stop, as if playing the piano.
At the same time,
A huge black starlight appeared under Karun's feet, and the foundation... also emerged...
