Chapter 63 Add Money!

13 Mingke Street, Chapter 63 of the Main Text, Extra Money! With the help of Aunt Mary and Aunt Winnie, today's lunch was very sumptuous.Of course, since Mrs. Jenny visited with Eunice last time, whenever conditions allow, Karen will try her best to make every meal very good and delicate.The three main dishes are Dongpo pork, Suzhou-style sweet and sour ribs, and crab meat lion head;The three side dishes are chive scrambled eggs, braised shredded pork, and vegetarian chicken.The three cold dishes are: cucumber salad, wood ear salad, and drunken shrimp.Finally, there is a jar of old duck soup.

When Dis returned, Karen rang the bell outside the kitchen. He knew he would miss this moment and the sight of his family gathering around the dining table after hearing the sound. So, Karen closed his eyes when he rang the bell, hoping to remember the crisp sound. Today, all three servants and three children were at home, so there were more dishes prepared. After all, with the wealth and income of the Inmerleis family, it was not easy to eat it all unless the family started investing like Uncle Mason. As expected, the most popular dish on the table was sweet and sour ribs, as the Rulans had a strong preference for sweet flavors. The vegetarian chicken also received good reviews. What surprised Karen was that the drunken shrimp was also popular, especially with Uncle Mason and Ron, who enjoyed it without any hesitation. "Try this, here, one for each of you. It's hard to make and definitely nutritious." Aunt Mary served each of the three children a big lion's head. Dis was still the first to put down his utensils, but this time he sat at the table a little longer before getting up and saying, "I'm done, you guys can take your time."

After he went upstairs, the dining table suddenly became noisy."I'll go make tea for grandpa."This has almost become a common habit for the family, with Di Si always being the first to leave the table, and then Karen would also go upstairs after a while to take care of the main meal.Karen walked to Di Si's room door and knocked."Come in."When Karen entered Di Si's study, she found him lighting a candle.Karen sat down on the chair opposite the desk and said, "Grandpa, I also feel that the flame of a candle has more soul than an electric light."Di Si looked up at Karen and said, "Do you think so too, Karen?"

"Okay." Dis pointed upwards, "The light bulb is broken.""..." Karen."Tell your uncle this afternoon to change the light bulb.""Okay, Grandpa."Dis reached for his teacup;Karen stood up, picked up the hot water bottle to help Grandpa pour water, then sat back down. The hot water bottle in Grandpa's study is refilled with hot water every noon."What's the matter?" Dis asked."Last night's incident.""The circus people ran away, I wrote a report and the district will help investigate and handle it.""Grandpa, I'm not talking about the circus, it's about that person."

"Rasma?""Is that his name?""He is the high priest of the Order of the Gods, one of the representatives of the secular system of the Gods.""I see." Karen nodded, "Is he here to investigate the God's Descent ritual in Bellwin City?""No, it's because my belief system has reached a critical point and resonated with the Order Temple. I can no longer hide it, so they sent him to check on my situation."Hearing this, Karen felt comfortable.It seemed that every time, Dias rarely spoke to him proactively, but when he asked, Dias never concealed anything.This feeling was very relaxing. It wouldn't be like being kept in the dark after something happened, nor would he have to wait until someone in his family had a real accident before he could investigate and dig out the so-called "truth" step by step from some notebook or clues left behind."They want me to enter the temple and become an elder, serving the God of Order.""The God of Order lives in the Order Temple?" Karen asked curiously.

Dis shook his head, "The temple is a special place, every orthodox church will have a similar boundary, it is the true core area of the church, hiding the true secrets of the church.This area is called the Temple of Order in the Order of the God of Order.It is said that even the remains of the true god are hidden in the temple.""Have you seen it, Grandpa?""I have seen it twice, once in the Temple of Order, when I was young and had the opportunity to enter and train.""What about the second time?" Karen instinctively asked.There are some things that if you don't ask, Dis may not bother to say."The second time was because of Puer's relationship, which involves a secret of the Allen family a hundred years ago, you will know in the future."So, when the Allen family got something and was destroyed by Puer, was it that thing?"Okay." Karen pursed her lips, "The Order of the God of Order intends to invite Grandpa to become an elder in the temple, and Grandpa intends to refuse, right?"

"Yes.""Okay."Karen nodded."Are you finished asking?" Dias asked."Mhmm.""I thought you would ask me for the reason for my refusal.""I understand Grandfather's pride, and I agree with his decision," Karen said. "If you had agreed, then I would have asked for the reason."Dias nodded.Sure enough,chatting with his grandson was very comfortable.

He regrets not bringing Rasmati here, and now he can ask him: Am I right?Dis lightly tapped the edge of his teacup and said:"I can protect all of you and continue to live here peacefully.So,I'll ask you one last time,Wein,Are you really going?""I am.""Hmm."The grandfather and grandson continued to sit face to face, their conversations were always difficult to prolong because they understood each other's thoughts without needing to explain them in words.

Once the filler of small talk is missing in life, it is inevitable that it will appear too quiet at some moments.Then, some words, once they lose their preparation, will suddenly be awkward and hard, but the grandfather and grandson can quickly overcome and digest them."Grandpa, I think I should ask you seriously again, will you die?""No.""Okay."Karen's gaze began to wander around, thinking about what else he needed to ask.Dis silently drank tea, giving his grandson enough time to think.After a long time,Karen stood up and looked at Dis: "I don't think I have anything else to ask, Grandpa.""Oh."

Karen walked to the door of the study and made a "huh" sound with her mouth, turning back to smile at Dis:"Grandpa, I thought of something, time.""Sometimes not knowing the time can be more comfortable," Dis said."But the few days before the start of school holidays are often sweeter.""A week from now, at this time, you should be able to see the results from where you're standing now.""Okay, got it.""Also, did you write the bookmark I gave you?""I didn't write it," Karen said."Hesitating?""No, it's just that no matter which one I write, it's hard for me to feel enough enjoyment, so for now, I might not write it."

"If you don't write within a week, even if you write later, it won't be effective.""Mrs. Jenny's change in attitude made me realize the value of that bookmark, but strangely, I don't feel regret because of it.Similarly,I feel that when I received the bookmark from the God of Order and wrote down the names of those deities, it may not have been a true hatred or disgust towards them.This is a way of expressing love to my daughter, and also a response from a daughter to her father's love.In conclusion,this is a story of a deep father-daughter relationship, and those fallen deities are just incidental, they can't even be considered as background."Diste reminded, "But the God of Order, for the sake of the dignity of the Light of Order, personally threw his daughter into the mouth of a ferocious beast."This is a scene from the religious painting "Light of Order", which Karen had seen at Piajie's house, and there is also a detailed record of it in that book."He has a side as a loving father, and is very indulgent towards his daughter. In order to make her happy, he doesn't hesitate to use the downfall of a few deities as a joke for his daughter."

He also has the majesty of a god, and for the sake of order and holiness, he personally punished his beloved daughter by throwing her into the mouth of a ferocious beast.A loving father, a true god who can suppress his own humanity for the sake of order.It must be said,This description truly fits the image that believers have of their supreme god above.Dis laughed and asked, "So, what are you trying to say?""I want to say that since they were able to modify the records of the light god in their mythology, could this story also be intentionally embellished?""Are you saying that the painting 'Light of Order' is fake?""I believe it is real, but sometimes, only telling part of the truth can have a better effect than lying.The ferocious beast in the painting is truly terrifying,But,

In case,What if that ferocious beast is actually a pet of the God of Order?Or,What if that ferocious beast is just another...Pu'er?Disa remained silent.Karen closed the door.For a long time,Disa chuckled,He looked at the neatly arranged desk in front of him,The laughter gradually began to grow,

In the end,It was almost to the point of arrogance and recklessness.However, this voice did not reach the study at all.After laughing for a long time,Di Si finally stopped after two coughs,He took a deep breath,Said:"What you said makes sense."...Karen, who walked out of her grandfather's study, habitually sat on the window sill on the third floor, and habitually held Pu'er in her arms, with her hands under its fur to keep warm.

At noon, Pu'er allowed him to be reckless and ate the chopped fish head. But then, Pu'er was put on his back by Karen. "Hmm..." Pu'er's tail curled up again, and every time it did, it would cover its shame. "Open your mouth." Karen reached out and gently opened Pu'er's mouth, looked inside, and then let go. "What are you looking at?" Pu'er asked in confusion. "Just checking if you're purposely holding something in your mouth."

"Is there something wrong with your brain today?" "Dice said, there are seven days left." "Seven days?" Pu'er turned his head and glanced at the door of the study. "I'm looking forward to it." "I'm not really looking forward to it," Karen said, "but I can understand." Karen stood up and looked out the French windows. Pu'er returned to the windowsill and stretched out his paw, gently tapping the window glass: "Although the glass is transparent, it can make you unaware of the wind and rain outside." Karen reached out and flicked Pu'er's cat head: "I don't need you to feed me fish soup." "What I mean is, you can open the window and feel the wind outside."

Karen opened the window, the wind was strong today, and it was deep winter;The cold wind blew Karen's hair and messed up the fur of her cat Pu'er,Both shivered.Then, Karen closed the window again.Pu'er said with a slightly trembling voice:"You see... after experiencing it... you feel cold... and you can still close the window again... Meow!"..."That's what he said."In a guest room, Rasma sat on the bed, and on three walls beside him, three figures wearing black robes were reflected."I don't want to allow his recklessness anymore." A female voice came from one of the walls, "His heart has clearly deviated from order."

"But we have no other choice, because it has been a long time since a newly initiated elder who understands the order and secrets has joined the temple. The operation of the temple is likely to face a shortage of experienced elders.We need him, that is a fact.""Yes, and the more embarrassing thing is, the best outcome is that we can accept his joining and let the center of the temple be effectively replenished. Together, we will protect the glory of the temple and the order.The worst outcome is that the center of the temple not only cannot get fresh blood, but he also has the ability to harm the temple.The temple elders are not appointed by us, but by the recognition of the temple center.When the center of the temple recognizes him, he has already obtained the same authority as us to face the center of the temple.He knows that he alone is not a match for the entire Order of the Gods, but he has the ability to turn our profits into losses. The losses would be too great.""Huh, so when he said in front of you that the order is just a mask, why didn't you punish him?" the female elder questioned."I have said it before, it is because of his talent. And the fact has proven that I did not make a mistake. We have always had high hopes for and invested a lot of resources in Lasma, but compared to him, he is simply a fool." Lasma, sitting on the bed, rolled his eyes.

"Then do we really have to wait for him for seven days?" the female elder asked."Wait.""We must wait, and bet on the slim chance outside of the eighty percent.""I don't want to wait. Since he wants to be a child playing with blocks, then I don't mind being a mother who just wants to s***k her child in anger.If he wants to go crazy,then I will make him see what true madness is!""Xiti, please control yourself.""Xiti, the temple is our top priority.""Hmph, you two are just..."Lasma obediently sat there, listening to the three temple elders argue.

Then, he suddenly noticed that the voices of the three elders had disappeared. Lasma immediately looked up and saw that the three elders had all turned to face the east."The location of Bellwin City is not far from where the last super-standard god descent ceremony was held.""The aura of the super-standard god descent ceremony is still based on our Order of the Gods' descent law."The voice of Elder Siti came, "Lasma.""Here.""Go to the Dis family now and confirm Dis's location.""Yes."Just as Lasma was about to leave, he suddenly heard three cries:"This summoning, it's the aura of an evil god, a genuine and true aura of an evil god!"

"I sense the seal of the great god of order, this evil god is a being sealed by the great god of order. Someone is trying to summon it from the depths of the seal!""It's Rierelsa, the god of the Wall Church, her presence is unmistakable. Someone is guiding her descent!"And at this moment,Rasma finally sensed the powerful and strange aura from afar, but his perception was much slower than the three elders of the temple."Let's go, we cannot allow the being sealed by the great god of order to return again!"One of the elders turned into a streak of light and flew towards the east."Is this really an insult to our Order Church?"The other elder also turned into a streak of light and flew towards the east."Rasma, go and confirm if Dis is at home. If he is, tell him that we have agreed to his request for negotiations in seven days."After saying this, the elder Siti also followed suit.

Rasmar narrowed his eyes. Compared to the situation with Dis, the ritual for the descent of the evil god Rierusa seemed more urgent. This was because Rierusa was a "true god" personally sealed by the god of order, or rather, an "evil god", and an enemy of the Order God Church. If she successfully descended, it would undoubtedly bring disaster to the Order God Church in the future. If it was another god who had a grudge against the church, the Order God Church might choose to remain neutral. Just like when the evil gods sealed by the God of Light descended one after another, all the orthodox major churches chose to sit back and watch, enjoying the spectacle of the God of Light Church falling into turmoil. In the sky above the eastern city of Lujia, the clear sky had turned into rolling dark clouds. From within the clouds, the figure of a female giant could be faintly seen. She seemed to be trying to break through the seals on her body and reach for the source of the call. However, this source was becoming weaker and weaker, clearly unable to sustain the ritual any longer. The female giant let out a frustrated roar. She was not willing, very unwilling. She wanted to try again and hoped that the person she was summoning could hold on a little longer, even though she probably knew that everything was almost irreversible now.

"Even more cruelly,Three rainbows appeared in the sky,From within the rainbows emerged three colossal figures dressed in black robes;"The authority of the God of Order shall not be violated!""The exiled God of Evil shall not return!""The light of order shall not be defiled!"The three colossal figures joined forces and in an instant, the giant female figure in the sky shattered and disappeared, along with the rolling dark clouds.However, the three colossal figures also became dimmer as a result."Is it you?"Citi reached out and grabbed a nearly transparent soul in mid-air."

"It was you who attempted to summon the evil god twice using the super-specification divine descent ritual." Linda's figure appeared in Siti's palm, with a smile on her face as she said, "The filthy order does not deserve to be called the light. I have painted countless religious paintings, but the one that disgusts me the most is 'Light of Order'." "Heh..." Siti did not argue, but instead tightened her grip on her palm. As expected, the strand of soul dissipated and all traces of it were erased. "Do you still want to come in for tea?" At the entrance of the Inmoleis family, Dias stood under the eaves and looked at Rasma standing at the gate.

Rasma shook her head:"I don't want to, Dis, I hate you, and everything related to you. I don't even want to step into your house, I'm afraid it will dirty my shoes and disgust my soul."Rasma turned around and said as she walked out:"Seven days!"...In the living room, Karen held the phone and heard Piajie's voice on the other end:He was laughing: "Hahaha, I saw it, Karen, I saw Linda's last piece of work, it's really shocking, it's so beautiful, I have never seen such a magnificent painting, hahaha, this is art, this is true art!""Congratulations." Karen said, "Congratulations to Linda too."Then, he started crying again:

"Wuwuwu... wuwuwu..."A grown man was crying on the other end of the phone.Karen listened quietly to his sobs;After a while,Piajie's voice, filled with tears, came through the phone:"Karen, I have lost my love again, my dear Linda, she has left me again."Karen said into the receiver:"Don't cry, you have to learn to adapt, don't cry every time; because there will be a third, fourth, and even more times in the future.""Wuwu... sniff... wuwu... sniff... hahaha!"Piajie on the other end of the phone was both crying and laughing at Karen's words.

After a while, things finally calmed down on the other side:"Karen, it looks like I'll have to pay you another fee for psychological counseling, 20,000 lucre, right? I'll get it for you when I come back from Bellwin.""Oh, my dear friend, do you know how much prices have risen recently?""So?""You have to add more money.""Oh my friend, you can't be so cruel. I lost my loved one and you're still thinking about making money from me. Don't you feel ashamed of making money like this?""Not at all, because my family specializes in dealing with dead people.""Friend, what you said makes so much sense. Your arguments are so convincing that I don't know how to refute you. But why is the second time more expensive than the first time? Shouldn't loyal customers get a discount?"

"Because my family has been in business for so many years, although we have always been diligent, this is still the first time we have achieved returning customers.""Um...""So, I need to charge more.""That doesn't make sense," Piajie shouted."From a psychological perspective, it makes sense.""Hmm?""Doing the same thing over and over again can make one feel annoyed and bored, which adds to my mental burden and increases the cost of my service. When you come to me for the third or fourth time crying, if there is no incremental service fee, I'm afraid I might not be able to stop myself from cursing at you. Because I will feel like you are deliberately showing off to me.""Showing off?"

"Others endure the pain of losing a loved one. But you, you constantly experience the joy of having your loved one return.""Smack!"On the other end of the phone, there was a crisp sound, followed by a cry of pain. Karen guessed that Piajie had probably slapped his own thigh hard.Then, a hurried voice came through the phone:"Ha, I'll add more money!"
