Chapter 98 Black Spade A Meeting

"After the worship ceremony, they were about to leave."Pu'er, sitting on the windowsill in the bedroom, had been observing the situation below.After paying respects at the ancestral cemetery in the Allen Manor, Prince York and his entourage were preparing to return to the palace.With the careful support of two servants, the elderly Prince York was helped into the car."I think the reason why Her Majesty the Queen has been deliberately delaying the plan may also be because she wants to outlive her son and let him take the seed first," Pu'er said, without anyone agreeing with him."This race between mother and son may not have a clear winner yet, but what truly defeated Her Majesty the Queen is time. As she grows older, she no longer has the desire to continue competing. The fear of death, which is getting closer and closer, has overwhelmed her anxiety about taking the seed."

"Although I still don't know what that seed is, but in comparison..." Puer raised his tail and bit it, "it must be a very terrifying thing."At this time, Judy was also getting ready to get on the car, she wanted to sit in the same car as her grandfather.Before getting on the car, Judy stopped and turned around, looking at the black cat sitting on the windowsill on the third floor of the castle behind her.The eyes of the two briefly met.Then, Judy got into the car."Oh my~ God, she's really my great-grandmother's little sweetheart."Puer's face showed a strong aunt smile.It likes this little girl who is in the enemy camp but has a firm stance and amazing talent. To some extent, Puer can understand her sense of belonging to the family."Someday, I will take you out of the dirty Gloria family and let you return to the warm embrace of the Allen family.""Woof!"

Golden Hair walked to the window and called out to Pu'er twice.Pu'er stayed on the windowsill until the convoy left, then reluctantly jumped down and bounced onto his own sofa. After crawling down, his expression changed and he entered a serious cat face state.Across from Pu'er was a separate small sofa, where Golden Hair Kevin sat.Alfred sat on a cushion with a small blackboard in front of him, along with a box of colorful chalk and an eraser.Sitting on the long sofa across from Alfred was Karen.Karen held a glass of ice water and gently swirled it, occasionally taking a small sip as if it were a cup of hot water.In front of him was a small coffee table with a teapot and an insulated cup with ice cubes; there was also an exquisitely crafted and antique ashtray, a box of matches, and a deck of playing cards.In Vayne culture, from nobles to commoners, it was acceptable to not have an ashtray or fruit platter on the coffee table, but there must be a deck of playing cards.On one hand, this was because entertainment options were not abundant at the time, and playing cards were a convenient way to pass time with friends and family. On the other hand, Vayne's gambling industry was highly developed and gambling culture was deeply ingrained in society.To a certain extent, the current social situation would definitely influence the social customs of the past. In other words, most of the current social customs were formed by the influence of past social situations.

"Woof!"The golden retriever barked.Puerh spoke up, "It says it's ready, and I'm ready too, meow."Alfred nodded and said, "I'm ready too."Karen also nodded and said, "Then let's begin.""Woof! Woof! Woof!"The golden retriever suddenly barked several times.Alfred looked at Puerh and reminded, "The translator?"Puerh took a deep breath and said, "It says that this is our first serious meeting and we can't just start like this, it's too informal."Alfred pondered, "It seems like that's true."

"Woof!""It says, at the very least, we need to give this meeting a name that is not cliché, but also fresh, while considering the geographical environment and commemorative significance; For example, naming it after the location, we could suggest calling it the First Meeting of the Allen Manor Secret Society, or the First Symposium of the Allen Recluses.Generally, this kind of meeting cannot have words like 'god' or 'demon' in the name. If the name is too grand, it will be seen as cliché and may also offend some taboos." "..." Golden Retriever.Alfred asked, "Why does it seem like it didn't say as much as you did?"Puer shook his tail, "A good translator cannot be satisfied with just word-for-word translation, they must also have the ability to polish and expand.""Your expansion is a bit too much, do we really need to include the sponsor's name?""Isn't this the Allen Manor? It seems reasonable to have a sponsor." Puer reminded."But the theme of our meeting today is how to avoid the downfall of Allen Manor, do we have any sponsors who have done so poorly?"

"Furthermore, if we are unable to successfully prevent the destruction of the Allen Manor, then in the future, when we hold another meeting, won't it be ominous to add the prefix 'Allen'?" "I'm just suggesting, suggesting, suggesting," Pu'er said, "Also, I think you must have a solution." "Me?" Alfred pointed to himself. "If you didn't have a solution, you wouldn't be sitting here organizing this meeting, but instead persuading Karen and us to leave the Allen Manor early." "This..." Alfred was at a loss for words. Pu'er turned his head and looked at Karen with pleading eyes: "Oh, my dear little Karen, you will definitely help this weak and helpless Allen family, won't you?" Pu'er wasn't trying to emotionally manipulate them, but after finding out about Judia's betrayal, Karen's calmness and Alfred's excitement seemed out of the ordinary. If they didn't have something to rely on, this meeting wouldn't have been able to take place, and the atmosphere wouldn't be like this. So these two must be hiding something from me! Am I already a cat excluded from the core circle?

Golden Hair looked at Karen and said, "Woof!" Alfred also chimed in, "Master, you decide. I have a feeling that this is the beginning of something great." Puer also nodded, "Yes, a sense of ceremony, a sense of ceremony!" "Shall we name the meeting?" Karen smiled and reached out to pour out the already opened deck of cards onto the coffee table. She picked out one and flipped it over: Ace of Spades. "Let's call it the Ace of Spades First Meeting." "Well, even though it seems casual, I surprisingly find this name acceptable," Puer said. "Woof~" Golden Hair also nodded. Alfred wrote "Ace of Spades First Meeting" on the small blackboard. "Our meeting today is about the crisis at the Allen Manor..."

"Wait." Pu'er interrupted Alfred's words. "Before we move on to the main topic, I think we need to add an additional agenda, which is to discuss how to further ensure Karen's safety in the future and prevent similar incidents from happening again.""Woof! Woof! Woof!"The golden retriever barked immediately.Pu'er responded directly, "Dream on!""What did it say?" Karen asked."It said it can find a way to break its seal and protect you," Pu'er translated."Well, dream on," Karen concluded after hearing it.The golden retriever lay down on the sofa with a sad expression.Alfred spoke up, "Even if the young master is in the study, I will stay by his side. From today on, I will rarely leave the young master's side.""Okay," Pu'er replied. "After all, the radio fairy is currently the strongest fighter in our Black Spade organization."

Although the cards were drawn by himself, Karen still felt a bit unnatural when she heard "Black Spade A Organization"."Woof! Woof!""I know, I will say it. Also, Karen will start learning the techniques of the divine servants. If you learn fast and master it quickly, you can try to learn it in advance.""I know.""Now, let's move on to the main topic."Alfred knocked on the small blackboard."Today's meeting... The first topic of the Black Spade A Organization's meeting is: [How to solve the crisis of the Allen Manor]."Puer asked, "So, the topic of [deciding whether to help the Allen family] has been skipped?"Karen took a sip of ice water and said, "Yes.""Oh, that's great." Puer stood up from the sofa and bent down to Karen, "Praise the great Black Spade A."

The host of the meeting, Alfred, continued:"The current crisis at the Allen Manor can be solved in three ways:The first method is to evacuate early.All core members of the Allen family can leave the manor and go to Corona Island or leave Vienna, giving up the manor.This way, there will still be many ordinary Allen people left in the manor, which may also satisfy the queen's needs. After all, the queen cannot wait too long, and there is only one seed."Upon hearing this suggestion, Puer wanted to say something, but chose to remain silent."The second method is to let Old Anderson come forward and push Prince Henry's funeral out of the Allen Manor. At the same time, use various methods to reject the queen's stay, so that she has no chance to implement that plan.After all, the Gloria royal family is closely watched by the major churches. Unless absolutely necessary, they will not actively show their fangs to the outside world. The church's restrictions and vigilance towards royal power are their biggest weakness.""Woof!""It says these are all cowardly methods."

"Karen spoke up, 'Puer, tell us your thoughts.''Really, do you want me to speak?' Puer stood up again, 'My butt is definitely sitting here with the Allen family. I even feel that my words may affect the seriousness and fairness of the first meeting of the Black Spade A.''Go ahead, because there are only four of us, we can't exclude any interested parties. After all, strictly speaking, I also have a relationship with the Allen family.''Okay, then I'll say it.The first method is the most reliable, but for the now impoverished Allen family, giving up the Allen Manor is equivalent to giving up their surname. The Allen family will disappear in exile and become a story.We...the Black Spade A still need the Allen family as a 'provider' to provide various services and needs.Karen's further cultivation;Alfred's materials for practicing formations, as well as preparations for Alfred's future evolution;And when Karen's realm is elevated,We can start to restore my and the stupid dog's strength."

"All of this, requires a large group of people to provide for us, and we have to gather resources ourselves, which is very time-consuming." Upon hearing this, Karen couldn't help but ask, "Kevin, I understand, but can you do it too?" If the Evil God is willing to properly transform the Golden Retriever's body and make it a loyal Golden Retriever Evil God, after Karen's realm is elevated, it is possible to follow the method left by Mr. Hofen in his notes to loosen the bindings for the Evil God and help it find some materials and opportunities to restore some of its strength. But as for Puer... Karen was puzzled, if Puer also had opportunities to restore its strength, then why didn't Dias help it? After all, no matter what, with Dias' strength back then, he was almost invincible. Puer explained, "I need the existence of the Light God's faith system to help me break free from my restraints." "But even though the Light God's religion has been destroyed, there must be some small fish that escaped, can't Dias find them?" "He can find them, but there's a second condition. Right now, I am more like a holy artifact than a human or a cat. So, the enhancement and nourishment of a holy artifact requires... a master."

"Pledge allegiance?""That means forming a symbiotic relationship. So, for a long time, I wasn't interested in it."Alfred spoke up, "Yes, compared to this symbiotic relationship, even a marriage seems distant."Karen leaned back on the couch, her eyebrows furrowed."So, now, or after this, are you planning to find a remnant of the Light God's religion and pledge allegiance to form a symbiotic relationship?""Of course, what's wrong?" Puer asked."Nothing," Karen replied."I came to find you," Puer said."Me?" Karen sat up, her back leaving the couch, and pointed to her face. "I follow the Order of the Gods.""Did you forget when you were purified, the Light God's finger touched you? You definitely have the attribute of light within you, theoretically able to use the techniques of the Light Church, although you cannot study or follow the faith of the Light God's religion."

"Is that so...""But you must at least reach the level of a judge for your Order of the Light system to be fully established as the backbone. Then, after we form a symbiotic relationship, theoretically, the light power within you will be activated. However, it should not affect your backbone. Right now, it is easy for your body to lose balance and become chaotic.You may even gain some abilities from the Allen family bloodline because of our symbiotic relationship. But it's the same, because my original family's belief system is of a high level, forming a symbiotic relationship with you too early will interfere with your original main path and cause impact.Therefore, the judge level is a basic requirement.At the same time, you must also reach that level to have the ability to help release the seal on this stupid dog.Then, I can work with this stupid dog to try and restore some of our original power.And all of this requires the support of a family. Judges like Dis are actually the norm, and they don't have many people under them. This is where the Allen family's existence is necessary.Because it would be difficult for you to find another family that knows you so well and is also obedient. Of course, the Allen family can also receive your protection, and we can both benefit from each other.""I see." Karen nodded.

Pu'er continued, "As for the second method, I think we can only delay a little bit, and with the Queen's remaining lifespan being limited, even if the Allen Manor cancels Prince Henry's funeral and the Queen is unable to attend, she will definitely find a new way to come over.Even...in the end, we could even break through the warnings of the major churches against the royal family, bend the rules a little, and if necessary, the royal family can collectively take the blame and apologize."Alfred agreed, "Yes, there's a saying that there's only a thousand days to be a thief, but there's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days."Pu'er turned to look at the radio fairy, the words sounded strange, so...it should be someone's words that the radio fairy was repeating.So,As expected...The first meeting of the Spades A organization was already under control.Looking at that stupid dog, acting like he's really participating, ha, so stupid.However, Pu'er didn't feel any displeasure, instead, it was looking forward to what the third method would be."Alfred is right," Karen placed her cup on the coffee table, "Sometimes, constantly avoiding and hiding may not be the best solution. If we have the ability, it's better to choose a direct defense and then look for opportunities to counterattack."

"Pu'er pretended to be puzzled and said, "But the defense capability of the Allen family is already very weak. Unless we bring back Wood and his subordinates from Corona Island to the Allen Manor, it will be difficult to counterattack... What can we rely on for a counterattack?"Alfred took out a piece of paper and hung it on the small blackboard. It depicted Count Rekall, but the Queen next to him was erased."Oh, radio fairy, you draw so poorly. In this picture, Count Rekall looks like a scum," Pu'er said."This is the young master's handwriting."Pu'er immediately looked up and said, "Oh, it's so lifelike. In my opinion, Count Rekall is indeed a scum."After a pause, Pu'er curiously asked, "I know the reason for this is because of his past spending and his rotten crotch. But do we really need to spend time criticizing him at the meeting?"Karen replied, "Yes."

"I am preparing to personally design the funeral for Prince Henry. At the same time, I will have Old Anderson invite Her Majesty the Queen to attend the funeral and arrange for her to stay at Allen Manor.""Woof!!!!""Meow!!!!""Praise the young master!"Karen raised her arms and opened her hands,In a deep voice:"Then on that night, I will awaken Count Lecar to take responsibility for his past debts."------------There is also tonight, please vote for the monthly ticket, don't wait until the end of the month, vote now.
