13 Mink Street

"Where's my iced coffee?" Neo, who was lying on the stretcher, complained dissatisfiedly: "Hey, let me tell you, where's the director's iced coffee!"

Karen replied: "I didn't buy it for you. You know, the shops in the teleportation circle hall sell very expensive things. According to the consumption concept of a normal family, it is purely mentally wrong to spend here."

After speaking, Karen took a sip of the coffee in his hand and frowned slightly. Ventura put too much sugar.

"Karen, don't you think it's too much for you to do this? You're going to start talking about thrift when you come to me with a drink in hand?"

"I didn't buy it for you because I was afraid that you would drink something and leak it. Don't you know how many holes you have in your body now?

Now you have the physical condition that any gardener would envy, because it is a walking watering pot. "

"There's nothing I can do about it, who told that Tolisa actually attached such a disgusting power attribute to the sword, which seriously delayed my recovery, otherwise I would have almost recovered.

Karen, I'm very thirsty now, and I need something to moisturize. I feel that if I touch my lips now, the flesh can be torn off. "

"Be patient. When you get back to the big area and you're sent to the mission hospital, you'll be able to drink and eat whatever you want. Anyway, there will be nurses to clean it up for you."

"You're talking like I'm eighty years old and can't take care of myself anymore."

"Isn't it? You can't compare to that kind of old man."

"Then you don't feel guilty for treating me like this? Has your conscience been marinated in the sauce jar?"

"In this state, even your own son is unwilling to serve you, right? So you don't have to criticize me."

"What you said makes sense, but are you not afraid that it will be you who will be seriously injured next time?"

"Okay, next time you get revenge after I get hurt, keep it accountable first."

"I will. My memory has always been very good. No matter how long it has been, whoever offends me, I will remember it clearly."

"Simply put, be careful."

"Ah."

In fact, Neo knew that Karen didn't give him something to drink because he was afraid of the trouble of cleaning up. Even if Karen didn't bother to do it, wouldn't there be Ventura and Murray next to him? The main reason is that his wound has been stitched up now. Eating can easily lead to deterioration of a well-treated wound.

The bloodthirsty demon's bloodline ability is to speed up the recovery of wounds, not to be immortal. Because of the particularity of this injury, there is a real risk of sudden death for Neo if he doesn't handle his injuries well.

As for these complaints, they are just complaining for the sake of complaining, purely as a way to pass the time.

"Young master's light is just ahead, dispelling the confusion and guiding the way. We must obey the young master's..."

Hearing these words, Neo turned his head and looked at a stretcher next to him, on which lay his patient friend...Alfred.

Karen also looked at Alfred, a little dumbfounded.

Alfred inherited the inheritance of the Eudemons Compasini, which should have been something to be celebrated, and it is indeed the case;

It's just that the sequelae of inheritance were revealed at this time, making Alfred himself a little unclear about dreams and reality.

His situation is very similar to a person who has been anesthetized; not all people who have been anesthetized are asleep or unconscious. In fact, a large proportion of people will become talkative under anesthesia , Even if no one talks to him, he can talk non-stop.

Fortunately, there is no need to deal with or worry about this situation. It will take a few days to digest the inheritance and return to normal, just like a drunk person who wakes up after sleeping.

However, this scene is really rare for Alfred, who has always paid attention to his image on weekdays.

Neo joked: "I suspect this guy is pretending to be unconscious and saying these things deliberately to show his loyalty."

"Then next time you learn too."

"Of course, the next time Bernie treats me, I will also shout a few slogans: Under the leadership of our minister, we will create a new glory that belongs to the whip of order...

Listen, I have all the words in mind, but I still need to modify it, and it is best to come up with a series of rhyming parallelisms. "

"Forget it, I'm afraid you will have to sweep the road for several days."

"Sweeping the road is nothing. Compared with your side effects, I even feel very happy."

Karen ignored him.

"It's a pity this time. That spiritual imprint would rather dissipate by itself than leave. If it can be brought out, it will be much easier and more efficient to deploy illusion arrays in the future."

"As a human being, don't be too greedy."

"Alas..." Neo blinked and yawned, "How long is the teleportation, I'm sleepy."

"It should be soon, after all, it's time."

"Go home early, it's really tiring to go out."

"I think it's okay, this expedition was full of thunder and rain." Karen made such an evaluation, "So, did you not tell me the truth in advance to give me a little more excitement of the adventure? "

"Am I that boring?"

"You have."

"Huh..." Neo sighed, "I don't want to explain, you will understand later."

"Don't want to exchange secrets anymore? I remember you still owe me a lot."

"You'll know when this one wakes up."

"Can't you just say it?"

"Some things are tasteless when they are said too bluntly."

"Okay then, do we need to report the matter of that cave?"

"What do you think?" Neo asked Karen, "Torisa is already dead. It is the cruelest way to die. If she dies cleanly, why should we bother? Besides, if you report it, you will now carry it on your back." The sword of Diamans on your back may not be yours."

The Whip of Order team has its own set of unspoken rules for performing missions, but the premise of the unspoken rules is that they cannot be made public.

This is especially the case with loot. You can take things that are not on the surface by yourself; but if you report it to the higher-ups, and the higher-ups send someone to deal with the cave, it doesn't make sense for people to die there with weapons and sacred objects. But they all disappeared. Compasini is a phantom beast and not an iron-eating beast.

What's more, some of them may be from the family, and the inheritance of the family itself is likely to still be there. It is a normal request for people to return their ancestors' weapons and holy artifacts.

"When I told Tolisa to report it, I just wanted him to feel more uncomfortable before he died. Now it doesn't make sense anymore. Anyway, he can't perceive it. It's true when he gets it.

The spoils brought back this time are enough to re-arm your team. Even if there are so many masters and ladies in your team, their family is not willing to spend money on high-quality weapons and holy artifacts for the juniors.

Especially your sword of Diamans. This sword definitely contains greater value. You are not allowed to use this sword when you and I spar in the future. It has the ability to restrain the recovery of my bloodline. "

"Is it a real injury effect?" Karen was thinking, "or is it an effect of slowing down the ability of flesh and blood to circulate?"

"I don't think you need to study this, because under normal circumstances, it's very difficult for you to meet a bloodthirsty strange demon as high as me."

"I haven't had a hearty fight with anyone since I advanced to become an adjudicator."

"Why didn't you fight Toriza when he was around?"

"Because I know I can't beat him in the sand pool, and sometimes I don't like to do things that can be solved with my brain."

"Then you're doomed to lose a lot of the fun in your life."

Karen nodded, and took another sip of the polysaccharide coffee: "Maybe it's because my pursuit of fun is far less intense than yours."

"Oh, you're implicating me again."

At this time, Alfred, who was unconscious, suddenly sang a song: "There has never been a savior, and there has never been a fairy emperor..."

This is the academic building of the Cult of Order and the gathering place for believers of God, but Alfred's singing is so clear and even somewhat loud, but he doesn't use the language of this world.

The priests walking around cast their eyes here one after another, but they couldn't understand the meaning of the lyrics.

Karen took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Neo said: "I can tell, you now have a dark feeling similar to touching taboos."

"Yes, this should be my fun."

...

The opening of the teleportation circle was delayed by half an hour than expected. The reason given by the front desk was that there was a sandstorm in the Dinge region. The chain reaction made the teleportation circle projects in other regions have to be affected.

Karen thinks this reason is nonsense, because the Dinge region is located on a peninsula, adjacent to the sea, with humid air, very good natural scenery, and a large green area. It is a paradise country that symbolizes love and beauty in the Makele language family.

So, where did the dust storm come from?

Did those sands come across the ocean on purpose from other continents?

But now is not the time to worry about this. Maybe he just found a reason for his delay. He didn't say that it was caused by the extremely dry weather in Wayne, so he already respected your IQ.

There is a lot of luggage, mainly because there are more trophies. Originally, Karen planned to save some coupons and pack the luggage separately and send the goods to the magic circle, which would be much cheaper.

However, there is a disadvantage of doing this, that is, you may have already sent people there, but you may have to wait for several hours or even a day for your luggage. You definitely hope to gather more goods and send them over in one wave, because this will save costs.

And Karen needed to attend his uncle's birthday party, and his grandmother repeatedly asked for it on the phone, so he could only reluctantly pay the extra baggage fee for the big guy to carry it on his back.

To be honest, he wasn't really worried about Richard. No matter how badly injured Richard was in his body, he could recover slowly. No matter how angry his parents were, they wouldn't really mess up their son. die.

The main reason is that grandma let herself listen to her grandson's screams, and she favored herself to such an extent that it would be really inappropriate for Karen to push back.

Teleport to the York City area and walk to the parking lot below. Bart, Mars, and Blanche have already been waiting, and Dincomb and Pick behind him drove a hearse to pick up people and goods.

Karen ordered: "Send the director to the church hospital first, and hurry up, the director is about to die."

Neo felt very comfortable hearing this.

"If the director is already dead on the way, I will take it back. Anyway, it is a hearse, and I will go directly to the process of the funeral club when I come back."

Neo: "..."

"These things are all set up first, Murray, you are in charge."

"Okay, Captain."

"I have someone to pick me up outside. I want to go to Guman's house, so I will leave first."

"Captain." Philomena followed.

"What's wrong?"

"I'll go with you."

"Are you worried about Richard?"

Philomena raised the Nightmare Blade in her hand and said, "I want to return this knife to Mrs. Tang Li face to face."

"The old lady didn't take the initiative to say that she would come back. It was a kind of tacit consent. Besides, she is too old to use this knife. I think she should hope that this knife can be useful rather than just laying it there to eat ashes."

"The old lady doesn't like me, so it's impossible for me to ask for her things."

"Well, well, it's up to you."

What a stubborn and proud autistic girl.

Karen took Philomena and continued to walk out, came to the road opposite the gate, and saw a brown car parked there, and Mr. Eisen was standing at the door.

When he approached and was about to get in the car, Karen found that Mr. Deron was actually sitting in the passenger seat.

Karen could only sit in the back row with Philomena.

Mr. Eisen stopped talking except for a simple nod at the meeting, and started driving.

His illness has improved a lot, but what needs to be done now is to relearn to get in touch with the world, such as relearn to get along with his wife.

Of course, it also includes repaying the fatherly love owed to Richard double.

Mr. Delong didn't want the atmosphere in the car to be too awkward, so he smiled and asked Karen who was sitting behind him:

"go out?"

"Well, I went out and did something."

"Oh, did it go well?"

"It went well."

"That's good."

Mr. Delong remembered the fruit he brought with him when he set off, and he put it under the rear seat. He turned around and reached out to get it, and invited the two young people to eat the fruit.

Seeing the old man handing over his hand, Philomena would make a mistake, and reached out to shake his hand.

The old man was stunned and could only shake hands with Philomena.

Then, in order to avoid embarrassment, the old man had no choice but to turn around and not take the fruit:

"Are you okay?"

Philomena shook her head: "It's okay."

"Well, I know what happened at your house."

"oh."

"In the future, I can often come to my house to sit and sit. His grandma looks a bit fierce, but her heart has always been soft."

"Need not."

"Your grandma's bones were collected by us, processed and buried in a small cemetery."

"How much is the cemetery storage fee?"

"Uh...you don't have to be polite about this. If you want to know the location, I can tell you."

"No."

"Well, okay, in short, welcome to my house as a guest."

"oh."

Mr. Delong didn't dislike this "impolite" girl at all. Many times, people would hate themselves very much, which was why he thought his wife disliked Philomena so much.

I think that when I brought her to my home for the first time, she had the same character. She made the whole family cold at the dinner table countless times, but this did not prevent her from becoming a virtuous wife and mother in the future.

Mr. Delong believes that a woman's character needs to be honed.

As long as you are a man with wisdom, you can polish her character well. The more intelligent way is to be the whetstone yourself and let her grind you until you lose your temper.

In short, he was very satisfied with Philomena.

In addition to eye contact and the sense of sight in the past, there is another reason, just like when rich people sometimes choose excellent athletes when they choose the spouse of the next generation.

If the family has all the necessary conditions, then the genetic improvement of the next generation is very important.

This point is actually particularly valued in the church circle, and the family belief circle is even more fiercely fighting for the inheritance of the other party's family belief.

The old man has always believed that the excellence of his eldest daughter is due to the influence of his wife's bloodline.

Besides, except for the eldest daughter who died young, the remaining couple of his sons and daughters were all promoted to judges when they were middle-aged. This situation has never happened before in the family.

But in Richard's generation, the old man has no hope for Richard himself. If he can find an excellent girl to give birth to the next generation of heirs, it can be considered that Richard has completed his family history mission of linking the past and the future.

Of course, people have double standards. When the old man chose Mrs. Tang Li, he didn't think about improving his bloodline. After all, the bloodline of the Alt family is cursed. marry the one you love;

But this does not prevent him from being a little philistine to make a little arrangement for his grandson.

That is to say, the old man didn't know how exaggerated the young man sitting behind him had raised the bloodline with the Guman family lineage to an exaggerated level.

The car drove to the door of the house, and everyone got out of the car.

Karen saw that her grandmother was already standing in the yard waiting, and it was her greatest restraint not to teleport directly into the car.

"Oh, my little Karen is back, let grandma see how your injury is doing."

This tone, this expression, gave Karen a very strong sense of déjà vu.

Then he thought,

Isn't this the tone of Pu'er's voice every time I go back!

Mrs. Tang Li trotted up to Karen while talking, her right hand grabbed Karen's wrist and her left hand caressed Karen's face.

"Tsk tsk..." Mrs. Tang Li's face showed surprise, "It's really almost recovered, it's incredible."

Ordinary people who encounter such a degree of soul injury will basically be crippled, but Karen can recover abruptly, as expected of my grandson.

At this time, Philomena, who didn't know how to read the atmosphere, raised the Nightmare Blade and said to Mrs. Tang Li:

"Back to you."

Mrs. Tang Li turned her head to look at Philomena, the original strong love in her eyes instantly turned cold.

"I'll give it to you if I give it to you, I don't want it anymore."

Grandma is still very angry. This knife was originally intended to be given to Karen, but in the end it was transferred to Karen's subordinates. Anyway, it can help Karen, so she thinks it's no problem.

In addition, Mrs. Tang Li also noticed the sword on Karen's back. Although the seal was applied, she still noticed the unusualness of this great sword.

Philomena shook her head and said, "I don't want it."

"Why, you don't like it?"

The smell of gunpowder started to rise.

The old lady has only one son in her life, that is to say, only one daughter-in-law, but because of her son's mental problems, her daughter-in-law also left home to work in other places for many years. Convincing, so she has never experienced that kind of confrontation in traditional family dramas in her life.

Philomena shook her head again, and said, "It's fine."

"You don't like it?"

"like very much."

"Then why not?"

"Grandma said, don't accept other people's expensive gifts casually, because she definitely wants to get more from you."

Mr. Delong blinked beside him.

Mrs. Tang Li said: "Your grandma is dead. Before she died, she asked me to tell you that you should accept the gifts that should be received if you think they are good. If you don't take advantage of the advantages, you have a brain problem."

Philomena shook her head: "I killed her with my own hands. I don't even want to hear the last words. You can't hear her."

Madam Tang Li's mouth twitched.

Karen noticed that Grandma's right palm was a little tense, feeling that she might slap Philomena on the face at any moment.

In fact, Mrs. Tang Li reprimanded Kaixi, the daughter-in-law, like this at the beginning. After being imprisoned and hung up once, Kaixi became obedient and obedient in an instant.

Being a good wife and mother is her hobby, not her nature.

Mr. Delong opened his mouth to smooth things over, and said softly to Philomena: "Since it is suitable for you and you like it, please accept it. You are Karen's subordinate, and Karen and us are not outsiders. Generally speaking, we It's all family."

Philomena responded bluntly: "The surnames are all different, how could they be a family?"

Mr. Delong was embarrassed, so he could only say to his wife more softly: "Young people have a stubborn temper. As an elder, you should..."

"roll!"

"oh."

Mr. Delong stopped talking and stood aside.

Karen felt a little helpless, so he could only say to Philomena himself: "Accept, thank you."

Philomena looked up at Karen, then put down the knife she was holding, and said to Mrs. Tang Li:

"Thank you for your gift."

After grandma's death, the only person Philomena was really afraid of was Karen. If it was someone else, even if she was stronger than her, she would rather be beaten to death than change her attitude.

"Grandma, she has just this personality. In fact, she is not a bad person. She will find her cute after getting along with her for a long time."

This isn't Karen's nonsense, even after getting acquainted with Pu'er, she thinks Philomena is a bit cute.

Mrs. Tang Li took a deep breath, her face softened, and she said to Philomena:

"I can feel that it is intimate with you, I don't need it anymore, please treat it kindly."

Philomena responded:

"I will, thank you."

The atmosphere finally reconciled.

Karen smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm hungry."

"Oh yes, come in, everyone, come in." Mrs. Tang Li greeted Karen to enter the house.

Philomena stopped where she was.

Karen turned his head and glanced over, and Philomena immediately followed.

In the house, Karen saw her aunt and uncle and their daughter were also here, and there was a big cake in the kitchen, but Richard was not there.

At this time, Karen noticed that Mr. Eisen behind him was also asking his wife:

"Where's Richard?"

Before he went out, he asked his wife to bandage his son and then come out to meet guests.

Kaixi answered her husband in a low voice: "After you went out, I couldn't hold back and beat him up again."

Mr. Eisen was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked, "Where are people now?"

"It's too late to help him clean up, so I hang it in the basement first."

In fact, the one who was most angry was not Eisen, the father, but Kai Xi, the mother.

From Mr. Eisen's perspective, it's his son who is an asshole, using his own name to mess around outside.

From Ms. Kaixi's point of view, not only is her son an asshole, but she also bears the great anger of her husband's persecution. Her husband has become a famous dim sum shop. How can a wife endure such humiliation? !

Hearing the conversation between his uncle and aunt behind him, Karen couldn't help being a little surprised. Richard really stepped on a big thunder this time, and he succeeded in arousing the long-sleeping love in his parents' hearts.

However, just when Karen thought that Uncle Eisen would say to release Richard, he heard Uncle Eisen respond like this:

"Then have dinner first, and go to the basement to continue after the dinner is over."
