"Of course, no problem!"
"Also, for the other team with three rooms, if they don't order room service that day, assume that they did and convert the meal cost into points for me. Your commission can be higher in this aspect. If they ask, just blame it on me."
The young masters wouldn't be happy with free meals. They prefer to go to restaurants and order separately.
"Alright, don't worry. I understand. Do you have any other instructions?"
"In this hotel industry within the Divine Sect, are they all acquaintances?"
"Well, I know some friends."
"In the York City area, the Ankara Hotel, do you know anyone there?"
"No, I don't know. It's too far."
"Oh, I see."
"But don't worry, it's just a phone call. It's simple because everyone knows about the points."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome. I'll take my leave then."
After the logistics officer left, Karun noticed that everyone at the table started eating faster because they wouldn't be able to eat tomorrow.
Karun stretched and raised his glass of ice water. "For the future!"
Everyone immediately picked up their glasses and raised them, saying in unison, "For the future!"
...
At night, Karun kept reading until dawn before feeling sleepy. He put down his book and glanced at the door.
Ventura was sleeping on the floor.
Karun told him to go back to his room, but he refused because he was worried that the same thing from last night would happen to their captain again.
Lying in bed, Karun couldn't help but feel a little fearful. He was afraid that he would have the same dream again tonight.
After falling asleep, Karun found himself dreaming of the same scene as last night.
The Scythe of War appeared in front of him, and Karun looked at it before lowering his head to search for the abyss beneath his feet, but he couldn't find it.
Huff...
It seemed that the person didn't have the strength to knock on the door every day.
The Scythe of War descended towards Karun, but instead of hurriedly dodging, Karun smiled.
"Splat!"
Accompanied by the image of himself being cut in half by the Scythe of War in the dream, Karun woke up, turned over, and continued to sleep peacefully.
He woke up at four in the morning. Although he didn't sleep for long, the quality of his sleep was good enough.
So, everything is all about comparison. Compared to the nightmare from the night before last, the dream of being cut in half last night was refreshing and gentle, like playing with little elves on a green grassland.
"Huff..."
The bedroom door was closed, but when Karun's voice of getting up came, Ventura gently pushed open the door and looked inside. The others were still sitting outside.
After washing up, Karun walked out of the bedroom. He didn't inform them about the morning meeting, but everyone still gathered at this time.
Breakfast had been delivered early, consisting of only bread and milk. There wasn't even a sausage.
Karun wondered if his "propaganda" last night was too effective. Skipping regular meals was fine, but now they had to start saving on breakfast?
But there was nothing he could do. It wasn't convenient for him at the moment, so he sat down and started eating the bread with milk.
During breakfast, they began discussing coordination issues.
Bart proposed an effective plan, which was to use the monsters summoned by Eslie as targets. This would help others aim and attack.
There was a sentence that Bart didn't understand, but the meaning was obvious. Basically, the monsters you summon are useless intimate companions.
Eslie herself agreed with this plan, but she looked at Bart with some unfriendly eyes. She was still young and inexperienced, so it was difficult for her to bind powerful monsters to fight for her. But that didn't mean it wouldn't happen in the future.
Blanche also made a suggestion. When she used the Priest Star Chain, she clearly felt another force blessing her, which was the captain's power. She hoped that they could find a balance, where the power bestowed by the captain could occupy a certain percentage of her own power.
This question mainly aimed to prevent one side from forcefully using too much power and eventually burdening the captain.
Karun's answer to this was: don't worry about this issue at the current stage. If there is a problem, I will notify you in advance.
Everyone nodded, understanding the meaning behind the captain's words. To put it bluntly, it meant that they couldn't drain me dry before I sensed it was not enough.
At seven-thirty, everyone got up and left the room to prepare for their final class.
The location of the final class was on the second floor of the base hotel, in the largest conference hall. It could accommodate about eight hundred seats, but now only twelve people were sitting below.
Karun still sat in the front row with Muri.
Muri leaned over and asked, "Did you have nightmares these past two nights?"
"Yeah."
Muri sighed and said, "Huff, having dreams of being beheaded at night is too painful."
Karun also sighed. He was envious.
The teacher arrived.
It was the familiar old man.Familiarity lies not in their identities, but in their white hair and white beards.
Immediately after, seven or eight priests in blue robes with a blue cube pattern walked in. After arranging things, the curtain behind the lecture hall was lowered, the lights went out, and it was like watching a movie.

"Hello everyone, I am your teacher for today's class. My name is McKenzie."
"Hello everyone, I am also your teacher for today's class. My name is Barat."
After a brief self-introduction, Barat stepped back and sat on the side, flipping through the materials in his hand.
McKenzie waved his hand, and a screen behind him showed a valley emitting a lifeless aura.
The members all guessed what place this was and started whispering to each other.
"Is this what the Valley of Reincarnation looks like?" Murui asked Karun in a low voice.
"I should be asking you that." Karun responded.
After all, you are the well-informed young master.
"I don't know, I thought it was a beautiful valley, but I didn't expect it to be like the entrance to hell."
Karun said, "To some extent, isn't the Valley of Reincarnation the entrance to hell?"
"Yes, you're right."
McKenzie pointed behind him and said, "You guessed it right. What you are seeing now is the Valley of Reincarnation. Actually, just by looking at the screen, you can't really sense its atmosphere.
I have been to the Valley of Reincarnation, and I have come into close contact with the Gate of Reincarnation. I know what kind of place it is, a place that you wouldn't want to go to a second time in your life after you've been there.
Although I know that this is a sacred place in the hearts of countless followers of the Reincarnation Sect, I still think...
Spit!
This is a place where even birds are too lazy to shit!"
McKenzie spat on the floor.
Karun rubbed his forehead. This mentor was quite straightforward.
"The location of the Valley of Reincarnation is very complicated. It is located at the intersection of several spatial rifts. The special geographical environment has created its unique ecology. I think this is also the reason why the Reincarnation Sect chose this place as their true foundation, and also the reason why the God of Reincarnation chose to build the Gate of Reincarnation here.
The Valley of Reincarnation is very large. Although no one has measured it specifically, based on my own experience of living there and the notes of some ancestors of the Reincarnation Sect, it can be roughly estimated that the actual area of the Valley of Reincarnation is as big as ten Sanctuaries.
However, the area they have actually developed and utilized is only the size of one Sanctuary, or even less.
There is a vast uninhabited area inside. Note that an uninhabited area only means that there are no people, not that there are no other beings.
There are many special forces on the island, and the Reincarnation Sect is the largest force among them. You may ask, why can the Reincarnation Sect allow the existence of other forces in such an important place?
Because the Reincarnation Sect needs their tribute, and the cost of artificially cultivating them is too high, so they have to give them a certain degree of autonomy.
According to legend, a family that failed in the internal struggle of the Reincarnation Sect was exiled to that area. Many years later, the family became a special species.
Alright, you now know the general situation of the Valley of Reincarnation, and you won't set foot in this area.
The teleportation array will directly send you to the reception area of the Reincarnation Sect. At the designated time, along with you, the people of the Reincarnation Sect and the quota given to other sects by the Reincarnation Sect, a total of 36 young people, will be arranged to enter the Gate of Reincarnation.
Here, I need to remind you of two things in advance.
First, do not get involved with the internal forces of the Reincarnation Sect. Of course, they will definitely come into contact with you. What I mean is, you should keep a clear mind.
Especially..."
McKenzie picked up the list and read:
"Wentura, Karun, please stand up."
Karun and Wentura stood up.
"You two need to pay special attention because you don't have a family. They will be more willing to approach you. I hope you can keep a clear mind and not think that there will be families from the outside mysteriously supporting you. Remember, even if pies really fall from the sky, they must be poisonous.
Alright, please sit down."
Wentura sat down.
Karun was still standing.
McKenzie put down the list, adjusted his glasses, and reminded Karun, "Please sit down, Karun, just like Wentura."
Barat next to him stared at McKenzie's figure on the podium in front of him, shaking his head helplessly. Although he didn't have a family and the information stated that he was an orphan, he had confidence in his high talent.
Idiot. After being an external priest in the Reincarnation Sect for so long, even though he kept calling the Valley of Reincarnation a garbage dump, his mind had still been shaped to accept the ideology of familyism.
If you have the ability, why don't you say these things in front of Norton, the High Priest? Because the High Priest also doesn't have a family and can be tempted to defect at any time, right?
Obviously, McKenzie didn't belong to the small circle of Piloliwen.
"Sit down."
McKenzie said again.Karun still stood there.
Seeing this, Wintura, who was sitting down, immediately stood up again.
"Sit down!" McKinney shouted.
At this time, Bart, Aisley, Blanche, and Mars, who were sitting behind Karun, also stood up.
"Sit down!"
Karun's team still stood together, no one sat down.
Seeing this, Muri sighed and stood up, and his teammates behind him also stood up.
"What do you mean by this?" McKinney frowned.
Muri spoke, "Teacher, please take back your inappropriate remarks and apologize. The Order of the Gods has always advocated equality under order. If a disciple's loyalty to order is determined by their family background, I believe this is the greatest stain on both the disciple and the order."
"What if I don't apologize?" McKinney asked.
Muri smiled and said, "Then we will refuse to attend your class and leave together."
"Huh, are you threatening the teacher?"
Muri responded, "We are just defending our own and our companions' honor."
"Do you know what losses you will face if you don't attend my class? Do you know how much trouble it will cause for your trip to the Valley of Reincarnation? Do you know the purpose of the Order of the Gods in offering these classes and training you? Do you know the expectations the Order of the Gods has for you?
Or do you want to betray the Order of the Gods?"
Muri smiled again and said, "Teacher, you have our personal information. If I, with this surname, betray the Order of the Gods, and if these companions behind me betray the Order of the Gods, do you think it's possible?
According to your theory, if your family is inferior to ours, then when we have conflicts, it proves that you have betrayed the Order of the Gods, right?"
"You..."
Bart reminded, "McKinney, if you want to turn this into a legal case and take it to the higher authorities, fine, you can continue."
McKinney took a deep breath and finally looked at Karun, saying, "I take back my previous words and apologize for my improper wording."
Karun half-bowed to McKinney and said, "I accept your apology."
They all sat down.
Wintura also half-bowed like Karun and said, "I also accept your apology."
Everyone sat down.
Karun leaned towards Muri and said, "Thanks."
"Hehe, you're welcome."
Pasio, who was sitting next to Bart, whispered, "My grandfather is not here. If he were here, he would probably go up and beat him directly."
"My grandfather would probably do the same."
"My grandfather is in the Special Formation System. What about yours?"
"The First Knights."
"Okay, salute to your grandfather."
...
McKinney continued with the class, and after the class ended, he immediately took the lesson plan and left the lecture hall.
Bart spoke, "It seems that Teacher McKinney doesn't want to join us for lunch. Does anyone want to invite me to have lunch together?"
Karun smiled.
Muri stood up and waved, saying, "Let's go to the cafeteria!"
...
The cafeteria was on the sixth floor, with two tables.
Everyone instinctively divided into two groups. Karun, Muri, and Bart sat at one table, while the others sat at the other table.
However, the dishes on the two tables were different. The dishes on one side were simpler, while the other side had a lot more variety.
Bart ate silently, and Karun and Muri also ate silently.
When Bart finished eating and wiped his mouth with a napkin, he smiled and said, "I know Wien cuisine has always been famous. Karun, as a native of Wien, what do you think?"
Karun replied, "Sometimes I get scared even in my nightmares."
Muri chimed in, "Scared of what?"
"That I grew up eating Wien cuisine."
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
"Don't take what McKinney said to heart. Inviting him was purely because he used to be a long-term resident priest in the Valley of Reincarnation and knows more about it. Most of what he said was nonsense. After all, you won't stay in the Valley of Reincarnation for long."
"McKinney has already apologized, and I have forgiven him," Karun said.
"Okay."
Muri spoke, "So, the real focus is on what you will be teaching this afternoon, Teacher."
"Yes, that's right."
"We can look forward to it," Karun said.
"This time, your mission is very important. Have you all finished eating? Let's go back and continue the class."
Muri stood up and went to pay the bill.
...
Everyone returned to the lecture hall, and Bart stood in front of the podium.
A staff member projected a mural onto the big screen. The mural depicted a man with the head of a lion and the body of a man, standing amidst raging flames.
Bart spoke, "Gaitanbert. His father was once a bishop of the Order of the Gods, and his mother was a monster. He is the embodiment of their love."
Just hearing the term "embodiment of their love" tells you about the relationship between Gaitanbert and the Order of the Gods."Gaitanbert possessed the formidable physique of a beast, and also the ability to wield the power of order. At the end of the last epoch, he served as the captain of the Order Temple's gate guard."
The large screen changed, revealing a new mural. The mural depicted a woman with a graceful figure, but her hair was entirely composed of venomous snakes.
"Funitis was once the princess of the Tanshiin snake tribe, possessing the royal bloodline of the Tanshiin clan. At the end of the last epoch, she led her entire tribe to follow the Order Church, and participated in the establishment of our Order Church's beast breeding institute."
Aisley whispered, "I've seen her mural."
Barat continued, "At the end of the last epoch, Gaitanbert was ordered to organize a guard team to protect Funitis as she journeyed to a secret realm in search of relics. They disappeared after that.
Eight years ago, in the dead of night,
Our church's department responsible for preserving and maintaining ancient totems and magic circles received a soul message through a communication magic circle that had been sealed since the last epoch.
The message was: Gaitanbert, Funitis, the Gate of Reincarnation."
"They're still alive?"
"How is that possible, they're still alive?"
"They've lived for so long?"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
"Even if it's just their souls, it's hard to live for so long, isn't it?" Murry looked at Karun.
Karun replied, "They might still be alive, but those who are alive might not be them..."
"You're not just talking nonsense, so, you know some inside information about the Gate of Reincarnation?"
"Yes."
"Would you share it with us over dinner?"
"Sure."
Barat raised his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down, and began to speak:
"We now suspect that the souls of Gaitanbert and Funitis have been cast into the Gate of Reincarnation.
Because there are related records that suggest a certain evil god, once judged by our church, seemed to have specifically helped the God of Reincarnation cast souls into the Gate of Reincarnation.
Of course, whether this record is true, whether the guess is accurate, and whether that evil god really did such a thing, we don't know for sure."
Karun sighed.
Yes, it did.
