Chapter 88 Awakening, Your Ancestors

2873 Words
Karen walked down the stairs and silently stood next to Eunice's two brothers, Chad and Yar, while buttoning the cuffs of her sleeves.To be honest, they didn't seem very smart at first glance.Moreover, their names were not on the list of the top 18 names in the family's belief system.Thinking about their father, Chief Bede, who also failed to awaken the ancestral bloodline, made Karen doubt if Old Anderson had been "greened" (a term used to describe someone who has been manipulated or controlled by a higher power).Otherwise, it's hard to explain why Wood, Mike, and Old Anderson himself are all third-level, but none of the children are.Oh, there's still one more person who hasn't participated in the awakening test, Eunice. Chad and Al respectfully made way for Karen, who made a "shh" gesture to signal the two uncles to be quiet. At this moment, Mr. Anderson was sitting there, and Mr. Bede was talking to the Queen's envoy. Since they did not introduce themselves but wanted to come down, it was obvious that they wanted to eavesdrop. "The Queen's intention is this. The location for tomorrow's outing is not far from the Allen Manor. I heard that Mrs. Janney and Miss Eunice have returned from their visit and the Queen wants to see them." "In addition, Prince Henry also misses Miss Eunice." Upon hearing this, Karen frowned. "I'm sorry, Miss Eunice caught a cold after returning and has not recovered yet, so she won't be able to meet with the Queen tomorrow. But Mrs. Janney and Lisa will personally go and serve the Queen." The envoy was a little surprised to hear this, but still said, "But the Queen has prepared a gift for Miss Eunice." "Then we can only ask Mrs. Janney to thank the Queen on behalf of her daughter." "Is it really not possible? I mean, if Miss Eunice's illness is not that serious..." "It's very serious, I really can't go out or be exposed to wind. Yunis's illness is a small matter, but during this season, if it spreads to Her Majesty the Queen, it would be a huge crime for the Allen family.Please convey to Her Majesty that after Yunis recovers, I will personally take her to the palace to express our gratitude for Her Majesty's concern.""Well...alright, but when the Queen's entourage goes out tomorrow...""The Allen family will take care of everything needed for the Queen's entourage. By the time Her Majesty arrives, everything will be prepared.""Okay."The envoy got up and left.In fact, everyone in the reception room of the Allen family knew that Yunis would go horseback riding with Master Karen almost every night, but of course, no one would be foolish enough to reveal that in front of the envoy.Old Anderson leaned on his cane and came to Karen's side, while Mr. Bede stood on the other side."In fact, Yunis has no relationship with Prince Henry, and we have not promised anything to the royal family. There is no engagement between them.""Yes, when Yunis accompanied her mother to Rulan, she had no engagement or any other connection." "You also know, how could we dare to deceive your grandfather? If there is really something involved with her, she would confess immediately upon learning about the purple bookmark.""Yes, we are honest. Please believe in Eunice's honesty towards you, young master."Karen smiled and said, "I believe in Eunice."After hearing this, Mr. Anderson and Bede both let out a sigh of relief at the same time. At this moment, they were like father and son again."So, the Wayne royal family's status is very transcendent?" Karen asked."In terms of secular position, it's not as transcendent anymore. The power of the royal family is also restricted," Bede said."On the religious level, all parties have agreed to let the Gloria family continue to hold the imperial power and become the nominal co-rulers of the Wayne Empire, as well as its affiliated countries and colonies.""Okay, I understand," Karen nodded."Please rest assured, this will not become a problem for you," Mr. Anderson assured."I believe in you, Mr. Anderson." Without any further communication, Karen walked up the stairs and returned to the third floor.However, he didn't choose to enter the study again, but went back to his master bedroom.Inside the master bedroom, the golden retriever was lying on the sofa;Puer was sitting on the windowsill, using his cat claws to dip ink and draw something."What are you drawing?" Karen asked as he walked over."A method to help Mike solve his physical problems, but you can't understand it now. You'll be able to understand it after your purification ceremony is completed.Mike's talent is still good, even without his legs...In fact, the abilities of our Allen family's belief system are not closely related to whether our limbs are intact, unlike those families whose belief systems require petrification or transformation into beasts.Otherwise, I wouldn't have liked to turn into a cat and run around.""I haven't seen your family's abilities yet," Karen said. "Then you call Anderson over to perform for you.""The Queen's envoy just arrived.""Oh." Puer was indifferent."There's a Prince Henry who seems very interested in Eunice.""Oh my, it's such a cliché plot, but I believe Anderson can handle it unless he ate a whole car of canned sardines last night.""That's what he said.""Well, that's good. But you can rest assured, even though I used to despise the Wayne royal family, they wouldn't be foolish enough to completely ally with the royal family even if the Allen family is now in decline.""Why?""Because the Gloria family, also known as the Wayne royal family, is the greediest and most eclectic among all the families in Wayne with a belief system. Do you know a painting called 'Decadence of the Royal Family'?" "I saw it in the album." In the previous memory of 'Karen', there was this painting, but of course, it was definitely not the real one."Ordinary people think that the painting depicts the extravagant life of the royal family and the chaotic relationships between relatives. But in reality, this painting satirizes the Vien royal family's constant efforts to enrich and cultivate their own belief system. They not only desperately seek alliances and incorporate other families' belief systems, but also enthusiastically engage in interbreeding within their own family to find suitable systems.They only consider the compatibility and stage of the belief system, as well as the man's ability to impregnate and the woman's ability to conceive. As for ethics and morals, they completely disregard them.So, the difference between joining the Vien royal family and being absorbed by the Raphael family is... whether the Allen family will live in a pigsty made of gold or a pigsty surrounded by mud walls in the future.""I understand.""So, my dear Master Karen, you must hurry. We must complete the basic stage as quickly as possible and strive for your promotion to the level of judge.""Is it so easy to deceive the Order of the Gods?" Karen asked, "I mean, to create a fake identity.""Do you think all judges are as serious and responsible as Dias? Do you think everyone in the Order of the Gods is upright and just?" "The person in charge of maintaining order will be the first to be corroded.Don't worry, it's not as difficult as you think.The most important thing is that before Dis fell asleep, he must have given a warning. I believe that even the Order God Sect in Rulian would not dare to keep an eye on 13 Mingke Street. At most, they would quickly glance at it when passing by the door.As for tracking every member of the family, haha, you underestimate the deterrent power of Dis sacrificing a godhead to blow up the Order Temple, and you also underestimate the pressure that Dis's sleep puts on the Order God Sect.They dare not touch your family or investigate you, and as for Dis's matter, it must be an internal secret of the high-level members of the Order God Sect and will not spread to Vayne.You are free in Vayne. I will arrange an identity for you so that you can openly follow the path of the Order God Sect.Let's say, even if your identity is exposed when you really grow up, it won't be a problem, it will just go against Dis's original intention, but for you, there is no danger.As the only blood relative and heir of Dis who has gathered three godhead fragments, the Order Temple will treat you like a treasure and give you even higher treatment than the genius Lasma." "Okay.""We need to act quickly." Pu'er said seriously, "I am doing this for my weak family now, but you are also doing it for Dis. The three of us have the same goal." "Yes." Karen smiled at Puer, "I'm going horseback riding.""Go ahead, silly dog. Come, let's go check if the renovated theater meets the standards." Golden Hair jumped off the couch and Puer jumped onto its back, wiping its ink-stained paws on Golden Hair's fur."Let's go, silly dog!""Woof!"...Karen went downstairs and Alfred and Borg were already waiting here with their horses.It was two hours earlier than the time they had agreed with Yunesi on a normal day."Master, perhaps we can choose to go at night?" Alfred suggested."What's the difference between day and night?" Karen mounted his white horse. "It seems like it is indeed the case." Alfred suddenly remembered that he still had to keep the black cat a secret, and that the cat would sleep by the young master's feet at night.Borg didn't get on his horse, he just stood there.Karen turned to look at him and said, "Let's go together.""Yes, young master." Borg smiled and mounted his horse.In fact, since coming to the Allen family, Karen had very few people he could trust. This didn't mean that the Allen family was not trustworthy, but they, like the Puer people, put their family first.The reason they were now on the same side was because Karen's growth and their family's development were aligned.Borg was different. He always had a sunny smile, but he had no feelings for the Allen family and as he grew up, his hatred towards the family only grew stronger.The three of them rode their horses to the cemetery and stopped. Karen dismounted."Young master, which one should we choose for the experiment?" Alfred asked."I don't know." Borg followed the two of them curiously, conducting experiments here?Karen's original intention was to try to awaken the Count Lecarre, because he left a deep impression on her.Especially today, when the Queen's envoy came, expressing Prince Henry's interest in Eunice;Should she awaken a pirate leader who once treated Queen Gloria as a lover at her beck and call as a "return gift"?"Borg, is the ancestor also buried here?" Karen asked."Yes, young master. When Mr. Alfred asked me to investigate the burial details of the cemetery, I did a re-cognition of the tombstones of the Allen family's ancestors buried here.The ancestor's position is here."Borg pointed to the black stone in the central area of the cemetery."This one?" Karen squatted down in front of the black stone.The stone was short, and even after weathering, it looked a bit round. If it were placed in a public area, it would probably be mistaken for a resting bench by tourists. And Count Rekall's pirate ship tombstone is next to it, with an exaggerated design that completely surpasses the ancestor's tombstone.This Count Rekall is really overbearing, even disregarding respect and inferiority.Karen looked up and glanced at the sky, then focused on the distant castle and signaled to Alfred.Alfred understood and, with red eyes, took out a deck of cards and threw them out.Mr. Hofen gave Karen a lot of books, including a series of forbidden spells and a large set of basic formations from various churches.Karen couldn't purify yet, so she could only look at them and couldn't learn how to use them. Alfred, on the other hand, started learning seriously on the way.Unlike Puer, he didn't have any family burden or worries, and he was single-mindedly focused on studying the murals.Therefore, his goal was clear and his subjective initiative to learn was strong."Abyss - Primary Barrier!"A faint black light screen spread out from Alfred as the center, covering the cemetery. Karen's gaze continued to search on these tombstones, but still couldn't find a suitable target.However, he then smiled to himself, wondering why he was thinking so much. He was only here to conduct an experiment, as he was still unsure if he could awaken a strong individual with a belief system from their past life.Karen stood up straight, closed his eyes and spread his hands.Borg, who was standing nearby, instinctively stepped back and didn't dare to disturb.Awaken...awaken...awaken...Karen silently repeated in his mind.At first, there was no effect.But Karen was not impatient, instead he continued to calm his mind and try to establish an inner perception with the surrounding environment.It was as if he was not standing in a cemetery, but lying on a bed in his bedroom.Awaken...awaken...awaken... Borg suddenly opened his eyes and saw a black chain appearing at the young master's feet, slowly rotating around him.Alfred also noticed this scene and a smile appeared on his lips: This is a good start!He had always believed that the young master's mystery was incomparable to that of the evil god. Otherwise, why would the young master awaken while the evil god could only be a dog?Awaken... awaken... awaken...Karen continued to summon, while the black chain continued to spin under his feet, but without a specific target.At this moment, Karen slowly opened his eyes, lowered his head, and saw the black shadow under his feet. Perhaps, after he completed the purification, this ability could be better displayed?He raised his hand and pointed to a nearby ordinary tombstone.Whether it was the ancestor's or Rekall's, Karen still didn't dare to touch it first.The black chain on the ground seemed to be guided and slowly extended towards the tombstone.However, Karen felt a slight shock in his head and the black chain was bounced back. "Cough..."Karen let out a muffled groan, steadying herself.This won't do!However, Karen had no intention of giving up. She reached out again, pointing towards another ordinary tombstone. The black chains extended once more, but just like last time, they were immediately repelled upon contact."Hiss..."This jolt really hurt Karen's chest, causing him to instinctively cover it with his hand.Borg wanted to step forward and help, but was stopped by Alfred's gaze.Karen kept taking deep breaths. Being repelled twice meant that he currently did not have the qualifications to touch the spiritual corpse.But he had a feeling that it wasn't because the "door" was locked. The door wasn't locked for him. The reason he couldn't open it was because he couldn't find the door handle, the point of leverage. Karen had a premonition that after completing the purification, she would be able to possess the ability to open the door. So, today's experiment will end here. The black chains began to retract and prepare to sink under Karen's feet. However, at this moment, a mutation occurred. It seemed that there was an inexplicable force that forcibly grabbed the retracting chain and pulled it away in the next moment. The direction of the pull was towards the pirate ship tombstone! "Buzz!" Karen felt a heavy blow to the back of her head and her consciousness became blurred. ... After a brief moment of extreme dizziness, Karen slowly opened her eyes and heard the sound of the waves of the sea. Everything around her was swaying. Karen originally thought it was because her consciousness was not stable yet, but gradually realized that it was because she was currently standing on a large ship. Around, there were constant shouts and cries of sailors, some drinking heavily, some dueling, some gambling, the noisy waves of sound rising one after another.Karen slowly stood up,When he was fully standing,The surrounding noise seemed to be cut off all at once,In front of Karen, there was a high platform, on which was a huge silver steering wheel.Under the steering wheel, there was a chair, and a middle-aged man wearing a pirate outfit and a eyepatch was sitting there, with a noble lady dressed in luxurious clothes and wearing a crown on his lap;His hand was caressing the woman's clothes, and the noble lady was just snuggling against his chest, allowing him to do as he pleased.Lei... Count Leicar!At this moment,The man's voice sounded, It seemed as if even the waves in the sea fell silent when he spoke:"Who are you?Honestly answer me, ocean, can you tell me if your answer is true;The price of deceiving me is your soul being devoured by the sea, wherever you are, you will be cursed by the sea."The man's voice carried an unquestionable sense of oppression.Karen looked at the man in front of her and pursed her lips;Am I the operator of the Allen family? Am I the savior of the Allen family?These two answers were directly rejected by Karen in her mind.Because these two answers were definitely true, true enough for her soul to still be devoured by the sea.In the end, Karen replied, "I am a son-in-law of the Allen family."-------Today there was an outbreak, please support with monthly tickets!
