Cullen, sitting below, looked at Derius, who was sitting in the middle of the negotiating table on the upper side. In his mind, he grabbed the collar of his father, Bishop Byrne, and asked him how he dared to doubt his loyalty to the order. It also appeared that he was tortured by the worms in his body and clinging to the wall.

For a time, Karen couldn't tell which one was the real him.

Perhaps, the higher-ups of the Sect of Order cannot be sure about this, otherwise there would be no intentional drug use.

Siti got the wrong location coordinates, so who provided the wrong coordinates?

Karen bent his back a bit and chose a more comfortable position for himself on the chair. Fortunately, he didn't need to really think about it, and he didn't have to make any decisions by himself, anyway, he was not the first. A member of the Seven Knights, it is not himself who is trapped in that space, so he can completely put aside his anxiety and troubles and simply appreciate the confrontation.

This is even more exciting than a drama. After all, a drama needs a script, but reality often bares Ben.

Sure enough, after the two sides experienced a brief silence, the negotiations continued.

But today's negotiation has lost a lot of gunpowder flavor compared to yesterday. Everyone really began to bargain one by one, and passed it one by one seriously. There is no liveliness of yesterday, but the professionalism has been greatly improved.

It's even hard to imagine what kind of mentality these professional people used to forcefully quarrel and spit and roll up their sleeves yesterday. .

It's just that, it's hard for Ji and Fanny. They really don't like this solemn and rigorous atmosphere, and it doesn't take long before they start to doze off again.

Karen took out the notebook he brought, and wrote and drew from time to time, but it was not counted as a record, because he should not read the things written on it in the future, maybe even this notebook after checking out. It will also be left in the room and forget to take it with you;

But it's more atmospheric and immersive.

With the deepening of the negotiation, the time kept passing. At noon, Xiong and Fanny woke up from their sleep, and after they went to the bathroom to eat, they came back to doze again.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, Karen clearly felt that she was hungry. It wasn't the hunger coming from her stomach, but she found that her brain was a little distracted and couldn't concentrate so effectively.

The negotiation was really exciting, and I was fascinated by it.

Karen took off her coat and put Fanny's black trench coat on her body. It was a neutral style, and Karen would not feel any inappropriate wearing it.

Get up, go to the bathroom, and just take a few steps, Karen feels a little heavy on her feet, and the clothes are very heavy.

Coming to the door of the bathroom, Karen pulled out the beef and orange juice from the lining. The beef is similar to braised beef, and the Venn sauce is a bit heavy, but people will ignore the shortcomings of food when they are hungry.

"I didn't bring anything to eat, who knew it would turn out like this, I thought the banquet could be held at noon, and the banquet hall was ready!" This was Leon's voice.

"Damn, these Pamireth guys are really difficult to deal with. They dared to bite us back. They should have killed them directly." This was Lauley's voice.

"It's not about killing them now. They're not really that important, and they themselves know that they're not that important, but now it's still a matter of my face."

"Elder Siti and the seventh..."

"Silence, the elders of the temple are also something you and I can discuss?"

Karen, who was nibbling on the beef, looked at Leon and Laurey who came over to wash their faces. Similarly, they were also looking at Karen, to be precise, looking at the large piece of beef in Karen's hand.

The two men licked their lips together. You know, because the meeting ended too late last night, and it was too late to get up this morning. They didn't even have time to eat breakfast. They planned to solve the banquet together at noon, but who knew that the banquet would be ruined.

"Divid me a little, quickly, divide me a little." Leon unceremoniously took the initiative to approach Karen and urged.

"Yes, yes, give me a point, give me a point." Laurie also followed.

"I've eaten this," Karen said.

"I don't mind," Leon said.

"I don't mind either." Laurel reached for the beef in Karen's hand.

"But I mind." Karen took two steps back from the two of them.

"Wow, you can't do this!" Leon urged.

"You ate our bread and milk yesterday, my friend, you can't be so heartless."

"I mean, I still have it here."

Karen reached into her trench coat pocket and took out a bag of wrapped roast chicken and sausages wrapped in plastic wrap.

"How much?" Leon asked. "I mean, enough to share?"

"Enough for the two of you to eat together."

Laurel said immediately: "Then we can't eat here, let's go to the storage room there."

"Yes, go there."

There is a storage room deeper in the aisle, which is neatly stacked with tables and chairs, prepared for the conference hall, and the space is not very large.

A table was placed in the middle, and Karen placed the food in the trench coat on it. The three of them sat on one chair and began to devour.

Leon said while nibbling on the chicken leg: "When you entered the conference hall with the **** child, I saw the bloated windbreakers of the two women beside you, and I still laughed in my heart that you were afraid of being hungry, and I didn't know it was noon arranged a banquet;

Who knew that the fool turned out to be me in the end? "

Laurel immediately said: "It's all to blame for the guys taught by Pamireth. Today was supposed to be a day when the negotiation ended smoothly and a celebration banquet was held at noon. Now, depending on the rhythm, the evening may last until the early morning."

Leon looked at the food piled up on the table and said, "These are enough for the three of us to have another dinner."

Karen nodded and said, "My two companions have a trench coat over there. These are the three of us."

"Yeah, so I won't be able to eat at the door of the bathroom this time. When those hungry ones stare at you, I'm so sorry for not giving it to them."

Finally, the three of them were full and leaned back on their chairs, letting out a sigh of relief.

From conversations during the meal earlier, Karen learned that Laurel's grandfather was also a bishop.

Therefore, the two of them can hang out for more time without worrying about being found and leaving a bad impression.

Karen didn't have much problem. He was a security guard, and no one would suddenly come down to find him to do something, but Karen actually wanted to go in early and continue to observe the negotiation process.

It's just that these two serious negotiating delegation assistants are still fishing here, and it seems a little inappropriate to be so active as a bodyguard.

Laurel put one hand on his stomach, the other was holding a chicken bone and was picking his teeth, and let out a long sigh:

"This year, there has been a lot of bad news about the religion of the gods, alas."

This scene is very familiar to Karen, and he started talking about big things after eating and drinking.

But the two people chatting is different from other people's nonsense, they can know more things.

Leon echoed: "Everyone knows that the situation is undergoing some changes, and there are some internal problems in my teaching. A while ago, it happened that a judge used the corpse of an ordinary girl to gather resentment and refine the spirit. It's ridiculous."

"Yeah, it was even revealed in public, which embarrassed us."

"It was revealed by Vicole, hehe."

"Do you really think he did it? That guy is an idiot like his grandfather!" Laurey taunted Vicolet unceremoniously.

Leon turned to look at Karen and asked, "Vicole, do you know him?"

"do not know."

"If you see him in the future, stay away, that guy has a problem with his brain." Laurey pointed to his forehead, "their family has a problem with their brains, and they look too ugly. That kid used to want to curry favor with us and want to be with us. Playing together, but we don't take him, and being with him makes us look like we're out of class."

It turned out that Vicolet was this image in the circle of the son-in-law, and was obviously marginalized and excluded.

Thinking that he once said that his grandfather was a bishop in front of his face, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and Karen also felt that there was something wrong with this person's mind.

In addition, it is no wonder that his grandfather personally came to "support" when he held a meeting in his jurisdiction. It seemed that his grandfather was also very popular in the circle of bishops of York City. on the scalp.

"The gods are about to wake up, and similar news is flying all over the sky. It seems that every church has corresponding actions. Hehe, to be honest, I'm looking forward to it." Laurey licked his lips, "I really want to watch it when I'm alive. Take a look at what kind of scene the true God descends."

Leon glanced at Laurel and said, "Don't say this in front of your grandfather, or be careful of your ass."

"I'm not stupid, but I'm just curious, even if the age of the gods' awakening is coming, why do I feel... I feel that the attitude of Grandpa and the others is a bit strange?

In the last era, our God of Order has suppressed many gods. Since everyone is here, what should we worry about? "

Leon nodded and said: "Well, I also have this kind of doubts. Grandpa and the others are obviously different from us in terms of this sign. Recently, the divine religion has been reaching cooperation with some forces, which is a bit too cautious, as if for the sake of The situation to deal with the awakening of the gods is the same as being arranged in advance."

Karen listened silently, without interrupting.

"The main reason is the turmoil in the Temple of Order, which sent too much bad news to the outside world, causing them to have associations that they shouldn't have, and gave birth to thoughts that they shouldn't have," Laurey said.

"Hehe, there is a secret to this matter." Leon looked at Lauley proudly.

"Tell me, tell me."

"That's all I know, because that's what Grandpa said to me, there are secrets, but he didn't tell me what the secrets are. Grandpa probably doesn't know much."

"Your grandfather doesn't know much, what a serious matter."

"Who knows," Leon said.

Karen nodded in agreement.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to the conference hall first." Laurel wrapped all the food left on the table and hid it in a corner of the storage room, then the three of them left together and returned to the conference hall.

Negotiations continued in the conference hall.

Much faster than Karen expected, as there was already talk about opening the messenger space to the Temple of Order.

Leon's grandfather said solemnly: "This is our bottom line, we can give the Pamireth sect a certain freedom in secular and missionary aspects, but if the messenger space is not open to the temple of my order, then this so-called merger is a merger. joke.

Even at the cost of a temple elder and the Seventh Knights, my order will not budge on this fundamental issue of principle. "

Derius said: "I mean, we agree to open, but the teleportation circles in the two spaces should be respectively responsible for the care and maintenance. We can even agree to exchange them and maintain each other's teleportation circles."

"No, the teleportation circle must be mastered by my order, there is no room to talk about this, and I am not allowed to skip or shelve it, it must be determined at this time.

Otherwise, all the previously negotiated terms will be invalidated, and I can directly declare the end of the negotiation, and then the Church of Order will issue a divine decree to declare war on Pamireth.

I'm not threatening you, I'm stating a fact.

Also, I won't give you too much time to think about it, and before it gets dark, you must give me a clear answer. "

Derius took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it, and finally nodded:

"Okay, this one is settled, let's continue."

"Okay, continue."

This continued until nine o'clock in the evening.

Leon and Laurel got up and went out, and looked at where Karen was sitting. Karen also got up and went out with them, and the three quickly wiped out all the food left over from the previous meal.

"This time there are too many concessions, and the Pamireth Sect still retains part of the main framework, and did not completely disperse them according to the original plan. After the merger, it is easy to have problems in the world, and there is no way to integrate as expected. "

Laurel nodded: "But the ship has run aground, so I can only choose to land on the island."

Leon looked at Karen and asked, "What do you think?"

Karen said in line with his personality: "I still prefer to fight directly, because I think fists are the guarantee of defending order."

"I feel the same way." Laurey said helplessly, "So I compare the previous historical records of our religious sect with the current situation. I really feel that these adults above are obviously lacking in energy. They seem to be Forget, how did I get the status of teaching."

Leon said: "They just think more than us. If anything is solved by fists, one day, the fists will be smashed by themselves, just like the Light God Sect."

"Thinking more? Now that there are so many problems within the religion, why didn't they see that they were really dealing with some problems when they were thinking about it?

You know what, Leon, sometimes I really feel like the current religion is like a corpse lying in a coffin, decaying as the years go by.

What it needs now is to wake up, to wake up!

Everyone knows that after the corpse is awakened, the spirituality will continue to disperse and disappear, but if the corpse is completely decomposed, even the awakening technique cannot wake him up. "

"These things are not something we can control now. You can wait a little longer. When you sit in your father's seat, you can push some things according to your ideas."

"What about your old man?"

"My grandfather can get another liter."

"Haha." Laurel rolled his eyes at Leon.

Karen said at this time: "I don't think you need to worry too much about this, because other churches don't have the problems that occur in my teaching? This, after all, is a bad world."

"Bad world?" Laurel chewed on this sentence, turning to look at Karen, "You said it very interestingly."

Leon looked at his watch and urged, "Go, go back."

The three returned to the conference room, and the meeting finally ended at zero o'clock.

The negotiators of the two sides exchanged their respective drafts of the treaty that have been finalized. This draft will be sent to the senior leaders of the respective churches later. After obtaining their attitudes, tomorrow's meeting can proceed to the next step.

After Karen escorted Derius back to his room, before he could enter his room, the captain's voice came from the blue shell on his ear:

"Elevator, pick up."

Karen pointed to her ear and motioned for Fanny and Auntie to go in first, while she walked to the elevator.

The elevator door opened, and Bishop Byrne came out. He handed his documents to Cullen for inspection again. After the inspection, Cullen took Bishop Byrne to knock on the door and entered Derius' room.

Originally, Karen thought that the dialogue between the "father and son" after meeting should be like this:

"Damn, what the **** are you doing!!!"

"Heh, I'm just following your father's instructions to maximize the interests of the Pamireth Cult."

But in fact,

Bishop Byrne looked at Derius sitting on the sofa and praised:

"You did a great job, you did a great job, son, you are my pride."

There was a little doubt in Derius' eyes.

Perhaps, the picture he originally expected was the same as Karen.

"It's good, it's perfect, and I'm very satisfied."

Bishop Byrne walked up to his son, stretched out his hand, and wanted to touch his son's head, but the father and son had not seen each other for so many years and had long forgotten how to get along.

In the end, Bishop Byrne just patted Derius on the arm.

"Really, I am very satisfied with your performance today, it is impeccable!"

Derius was clearly nervous, and Karen could see that it was an urgent anxiety, because things might have been out of his control.

Bishop Byrne walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the night view outside, and stopped talking.

Finally ~lightnovelpub.net~ Derius couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up from the sofa, looked at his father's back, and asked:

"Are you mad at me? That's why you deliberately said these words to save face?"

"Shh..."

Bishop Byrne made a silent gesture,

"Quiet, listen carefully."

Karen also listened carefully, but did not hear any other sound. In this room, the outside sound and induction can be completely isolated.

So, what are you listening to?

Derius asked Karen, "What the **** are you listening to!"

Bishop Byrne turned around with a smile on his face. Under the light in the room, he formed a similar figure in the floor-to-ceiling window. Bishop Byrne in the window, with a smile on his face, looked a little gloomy:

"Listen, the sound of bricks falling to the ground."
