"Please show."
Then,
The quill fell silent.
Karun also fell silent.
After sitting for about ten minutes, during which both sides remained silent for ten minutes.
But according to what Vice Dean Davens said earlier about the "spiritual time flow rate" in this small room being different from the outside, it might only be a short while.
Karun pondered.
Although he couldn't see the dynamics in the two adjacent rooms, it was clear that the quill in their room would not speak to them like this.
So,
What did this quill sense?
Although on the path, he and the God of Order had differences, even opposing paths;
But Karun couldn't deny that, on the path of faith in order, he followed the same pattern as the God of Order did in the past.
In addition, both he and the God of Order were "dead and resurrected" people, so in some aspects, there would be some coincidences.
This quill was not the original, it was just a projection of a divine tool. When he walked out of this small room, the quill would erase his memory on its own.
It was like buying a car, with the demand being to reduce, reduce, and reduce again, removing everything that could be removed, leaving only a chassis with four wheels.
The principle church called this phenomenon "mechanical mode". The quill's virtual image in front of him was the lowest configuration of the mechanical mode.
It was not easily deceived because its core was still intact, so it could detect faith here;
But it was also easily deceived, as long as it could open its eyes and take a look, it would know that he was not the God of Order. But now, it seemed to be mistaking itself for the God of Order.
It was a strange feeling, and a ridiculous situation, but it had actually happened.
This was not a coincidence, because before this, all the groundwork had been laid.
Then,
What next?
Karun thought about this question, and directly asked it to give him the highest score, so that the big shots who checked his file in the future could see his loyalty to the Order Church at a glance?
But if he really made this request, Karun felt that he was thinking too small.
After all, from the quill's perspective, it had already identified him as that person, so how could it possibly give him a low score?
Wouldn't that be opposing himself, being disloyal to himself?
So,
What should he ask?
Karun clenched his fist and coughed in front of his mouth.
"Cough."
Then, Karun readjusted his sitting position, placed his hands on the armrests, and leaned back slightly:
"Who am I?"
The quill's virtual image began to flicker and pull again, and finally, it calmed down and answered in a language similar to praise:
"You are the true supreme in the world;
You are the ultimate destination of all laws;
You are the only ruler above all gods;
You are the end of all chaos and disorder;
Your gaze penetrates the boundless, insight into the past and the future;
Your hand holds the chain tightly, binding the flow of the era;
Your will is integrated into the code, establishing an immortal order;
Great... God of Order."
Karun licked his lips and confirmed that he had indeed been mistaken.
So, what should he ask next?
"How did the God of Light fall?"
The quill flickered and pulled again, then answered:
"I am guilty, I do not know."
Don't know?
This low-configured "brain capacity" really seemed small.
Karun wanted to try again. It was really a pity not to ask something when he had such an opportunity.
"How did the last era end?"
"I am guilty, I do not know."
"Where should I, the God of Order, be now?"

"You are everywhere, wherever the order operates, there is your shadow."
Karun wanted to laugh. So, this quill, besides discussing faith with you, didn't know any useful information?
"I am guilty.
I request your permission to send a request to my superior. After it is sent up layer by layer, my dormant body will also awaken.
It will be able to serve you better."
"No need."
"Yes, I will obey your will."
Karun leaned his elbow on his knee, propped his chin with his palm, and if the quill's original body woke up, his identity would definitely be exposed.
At that time, it wouldn't be a matter of satisfying his curiosity, but probably being taken away and sliced to satisfy the curiosity of those people at the top.
But, he really felt a little unwilling.
Karun was prepared to make one last attempt and asked, "Where is Tiranus now?"
This quill belonged to Tiranus, and Tiranus was its original owner. If it couldn't even answer this, it would prove that it was now just a simple "tool pen".
To Karun's surprise, this time, the quill actually gave an answer other than "I am guilty":
"Lord Tiranus is sleeping, waiting for your call."
Sleeping?
Calling?
Karun couldn't help but recall the night he received the certification of the "Scythe of War". In his dream, he was oppressed by a terrible breath, and a roar came from the abyss in front of him:
"Order, how much longer do I have to wait?"So, what happened at the end of the last era?
An era is a unit of time, as well as a unit of events.
The end of the era before last was marked by the loss of the Eternal God; the rise of the Light Camp and the attack on the Eternal God's camp marked the beginning of the last era.
The end of the last era was not a specific year, but rather, after a period of time, everyone suddenly realized that the gods seemed to have been absent for a long time.
Gradually, "the absence of the gods" became the beginning of this era.
What exactly caused the situation where the gods did not appear?
Tirano is in slumber, waiting to be awakened, which means he has not fallen, and to some extent, it means he still has freedom, otherwise there would be no waiting to be summoned.
Does this also mean that the four major attendants of the God of Order and the 12 Order Knights are also still in existence, like Tirano, in a state of slumber, waiting to be awakened by the return of the God of Order?
No... that's not right, I shouldn't think like that.
Karun reached out and lightly tapped his forehead. For the God of Order, whether his former followers are alive or dead makes no difference at all. They just need to preserve their bodies, and when the God of Order returns, they can each be "awakened."
Moreover, in Karun's speculation, the 12 Order Knights may have originally been powerful beings awakened by the God of Order.
After the departure of the God of Order, they lost their supply and naturally returned to a "dead" state.
"Hehe..."
Karun gave a self-deprecating smile. He was clearly conducting a test of faith, so why did his thoughts wander here?
Some things are still too far away from him, and there is simply no need to worry about them, just like the secret that Gatembert and Phoenice have been guarding, Karun also chose to hand it over directly.
Alright, that's it. Since I can't ask anything else, it can end now.
Karun stood up and said, "Test over, show me the results."
At that moment, the quill pen said, "According to the original rules, I will erase my memory traces after completing a task. Your will is higher than the original rules. Do you want me to erase the memory of this conversation?"
"Erase it."
"Your will is to erase this memory. Does it include the third level of consciousness?"
"The third level of consciousness?"
"Yes."
"Whose consciousness?"
"My scriptwriter... my scriptwriter... my scriptwriter..."
At that moment, a phantom appeared behind the quill pen, holding it as if writing something, but it was not Tirano. Karun had seen Tirano's murals and even his statues.
The phantom was an old man, holding the quill pen in his right hand and a cigarette in his left.
It was the vice dean of the Knight Hospital, the director of the Faith Detection Department... Davens.
But this scene was extremely unreasonable, because his duties were more like those of a formation maintainer. When needed here, he would activate the formation, and that was it.
But in this scene, he was able to hold the quill pen and write.
This was very illogical, like a ground crew member taking off their uniform and directly piloting an airplane.
The third level of consciousness?
Karun sat back down. Things that were too distant and too high-level were of no use even if he knew about them now, but for the people right in front of him, he didn't mind knowing a little more.
"What is the third level of consciousness?"
"Lord Tirano is the first level of consciousness, controlling everything about me. After being divided, the second level of consciousness belongs to me, and the third level belongs to me as well. The third level of consciousness can have a limited influence on the second level of consciousness."
"Which level of consciousness do I belong to?"
"You are the supreme, your will is my only rule."
"How much influence does the third level of consciousness have on you?"
"Ninety-nine percent."
And this is considered limited influence?
"When I am not conducting a test of faith, the second level of consciousness will enter a dormant state, and the third level of consciousness will have the power to take over me."
Karun's gaze sharpened as he asked, "Can he perceive what is happening here now?"
If so, does it mean that his identity has been exposed?
"No, I am currently in working mode, and the third level of consciousness cannot interfere with or influence me. Here, everything about you will be kept confidential."
"What does he use you for, I mean, the third level of consciousness?"
"To write and record. I will cooperate in writing and recording his spiritual imprint."
"Let me see."
"I am guilty, because that part of the memory has already been erased and no longer exists."
Then how do you know it existed?
"One percent."
Karun sighed helplessly.
"If you allow it, I can contact the other 11 quill pens here to inquire. If there are any unfinished spiritual imprints from the third level of consciousness, they can be found."
"Unfinished?"
"Yes, unfinished spiritual imprints will be temporarily stored in the quill pen.""Other 11 goose feather pens?"
"There are a total of 12 of me here. I don't have an unfinished spiritual imprint, but one of them might. The third level of consciousness is not limited to using only one pen for spiritual imprint writing."
Karun quickly understood the reason for doing this. Writing with only one goose feather pen would cause that pen to wear out more, leading to suspicion. If they take turns to write with different pens, they can control the overall wear and tear.
"12 goose feather pens. Are you able to connect with the three of them in working condition when they are not in use?"
"Yes, your divine will is the highest rule I must follow, and it is the same for them."
"What I want to ask is, will the outside world notice when you connect with them?"
There should be 12 small houses here, but when Karun came in, he only saw three. The other 9 goose feather pens did not appear specifically. If investigating this matter causes the formation to activate on its own, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
Especially now, it is almost confirmed that Vice Dean Daveson is not simple.
"No, even in a dormant state, there is still a minimum of one percent of the second level of consciousness retained. I am on the same level as them, but your supreme will can make me awaken them to cooperate."
"Then let's start with the 9 dormant ones."
"Yes, please wait."
Next, Karun saw another goose feather pen appear next to the one in front of him, then it disappeared, appeared again, disappeared, appeared again...
This process was somewhat lengthy, of course, Karun was also aware that the time in his mental cognition had been extended.
Entering this small house is equivalent to automatically acknowledging that a "spiritual bridge" has been established with the small house and the goose feather pens inside, and it is the most advanced spiritual bridge formation effect.
But now, Karun still wished there was an extra glass of ice water by his side.
Finally, the goose feather pen stopped and spoke, "There are no unfinished spiritual imprints in the 9 dormant pens."
"Will the remaining two working goose feather pens have any?"
"I am guilty, I do not know."
"If they are connected, what will be the impact?"
"It will cause them to stop working, and the object being tested can perceive what is happening here on an equal basis."
"Can I personally control it? I mean, can I soothe the objects they are facing in their work?"
"Yes, you can hold me."
"Okay."
Karun stood up, walked behind the table, and reached out to hold the goose feather pen in front of him.
There was no physical sensation, but it felt like he was holding it mentally. This feeling was similar to when your hand goes numb, but your hand is not actually flapping at a high frequency like a sealed wing.
Now, Karun's position was facing the chair he had previously sat in.
...
"I'm not refuting you. I admit that your argument was correct in the era you were born in, because it was an era of frequent divine wars and church wars, and even the gods would often fall. The turnover of the church would only be faster.
In that era, survival was definitely the top priority, so when developing believers, it was necessary to use that kind of wide-net form to dilute the concept of order so that it was easier for people to understand and cover and contact more potential believers at the first time.
But this was a choice that had to be made without deep cultivation. But now the era has changed. In this era, the gods do not appear, and divine wars are no longer so frequent. If the spread of faith continues in the same extensive manner as before, it will lead to a decrease in efficiency.
First of all, the Order of the Godly Church already has a very mature and complete structure..."
"Alright, Alfred."
"Hmm?"
Alfred, who was getting into the conversation, paused for a moment, then looked in front of him and saw a figure holding a goose feather pen behind the table.
"Young master?"
"Let's talk after you leave. Let me focus on my work now."
"Yes, young master."
Alfred lowered his head and wrote in a small notebook with a pen:
"I am very fearful, because when the great being shows 'miracles' in front of me, I am no longer as excited as before.
I am proud, because I know that I am already convinced that anything that happens on the great being is a normal act of piety."
Karun touched the goose feather pen in his hand to the one on the table, and after a while, he received a response: none.
"Alfred, continue."
"Okay, young master."
Karun's figure disappeared.
Alfred continued, "Come on, let's continue. Where did I correct you just now?"
...
"Your devotion to order is not clear enough. You should have a deeper understanding of the meaning of order, and use your inner self to perceive the essence of order!"
"You should use your eyes to carefully observe the beauty of order, and use your ears to listen to the beautiful rhythm of order!"
"You can't continue to be confused, otherwise your faith cannot go further. Although I can perceive your acceptance of the order and your awe of the god of order, it is not enough. You still have more room for exploration!""I can give you a passing grade this time, but do you know that for someone from a family within the church, a passing grade is a disgrace!"
Richard's buttocks had already left the chair, he squatted on the ground, hands over his head, like a captive.
Under the spiritual oppression of the quill, he felt as if he was suffocating, as if your teacher had plucked your soul out and placed it atop a candle to roast while delivering a scolding lesson.
This had nothing to do with strength, unless you wished or dared to break these with brute force. Otherwise, those with insufficient devotion were bound to suffer this immense pressure.
At that moment, Richard suddenly felt the voice of the quill stop.
He looked up in confusion and saw Karun holding the quill, appearing behind the desk.
You see, Richard had been spoiled by his grandparents since childhood, his mother left home, his father was mentally ill;
So Richard had hardly ever been disciplined, even if his father recently took a liking to belt education, but that wasn't really discipline.
Now, the only one who could truly discipline Richard, and whom Richard was willing to listen to and learn from, was Karun.
Therefore, seeing this scene, Richard didn't react like Alfred who would directly assume it was Karun appearing, but instead cried out with a face full of grievance:
"Damn, does it have to be so harsh, even with character scenario functions?"
