The woman's words were like a huge wave in the sea, hitting everyone directly.

However, everyone is not equally frightened.

The most shocked ones were Ventura and Richard.

Because they are the only two in the entire team who have always believed in Karen's "identity": growing up in an orphanage, following several teachers, his talent appeared, revealed step by step, and then he got to where he is today.

Ventura felt that the captain was very real. From the first time he visited his home, chatted with his grandfather, and praised the delicious snacks made by his grandma, he felt a real sense of peace.

This made Ventura subconsciously believe that the captain had the same past as him, at least similar in experience, so he was willing to get close to the captain from the beginning.

In the subsequent interactions, the captain's attitude towards him time and time again, especially the captain's initiative to carry out the task of bringing the "adult" back on his behalf, made Ventura completely recognize the captain from the bottom of his heart.

However, there is a hidden aspect here, and there is actually a kind of induction.

Dis treated Ventura's parents, which gave Ventura a chance to be born, and Karen is Dis's grandson. Although Karen has never confessed this to Ventura, this hidden line is actually

It has always been working, and it has naturally brought us closer to each other's trust.

As for Richard, it was even simpler and more direct. The day when the Academic Affairs Building collapsed was the first time he and Karen met. As soon as they met, he felt close to Karen because of the blood relationship of the Alt family.

This person's interactions with other people, whether male or female, once he has a good feeling, everything else becomes easy.

Coupled with Richard's own character, he can generously accept the excellence from Karen. Even though Karen has no family background and is an orphan, he is a genius.

Richard would never get angry because he looked like a waste compared to Karen, but would be sincerely happy for every progress Karen made.

Therefore, the woman's words shocked both of them the most.

However, they were not angry because Karen had never deceived them by hiding his identity. Instead, they felt that Karen's family background was unusual, which was a good thing!

A true brother and friend will not be jealous because of your sudden wealth, but will only be truly happy for you.

Although Bart and Ashley were surprised, they had already prepared the situation. Bart's parents had already analyzed that Karen's background was not that simple.

On Ashley's side, she discovered that her parents' attitude towards Karen seemed a little too... abnormal since they went to the funeral home to help Karen check up on the two pets.

You must know that as senior researchers, my parents have always been very arrogant, and usually look down on those who like to work hard.

But even for such a pair of arrogant parents, they would hold meetings every now and then to discuss what kind of supplements should be given to Karen's two pets in the next stage.

Mars and Blanche looked at each other. They were not the York City gang. Although their family had collected information about Karen, their network was not in York City after all, and the information they knew was not very in-depth, so they were actually very shocked.

Philomena remembered what her grandma had said: This Karen is a genius. He can come out of the orphanage or other places. At this point, it actually has no impact and there is not much difference.

If you really want to move forward, it would be more appropriate to be born in an orphanage.

Murry twisted his neck. Captain's family background is higher than mine?

So the captain often laments to me that "the rich family is as deep as the sea" is not making fun of me, but sighing for himself?

Alfred was very anxious. He was the person with the least team spirit, because in his eyes, only the young master in the world had color, and the others were all gray and white accessories.

Everyone else can have something to do and everyone else can stay, except my young master.

Alfred knew clearly that the woman must have sensed something, and this sense made the young master appear to be in an extremely dangerous situation, which Alfred could not accept.

In the whole team, the calmest one is actually Memphis.

Family background?

From that day when he entered that spiritual space and saw the huge, glowing red ball trimmed with gold, Memphis had never doubted Karen's identity.

He didn't even think that Karen was a descendant of the temple elders, but that Karen himself was a great temple elder, but because of some special reasons, he was injured and weak and needed to start all over again?

This can explain Karen's caution and caution when formulating tasks, because he has not yet recovered his strength.

As for why the temple elders need to recover in this way instead of going to the Temple of Order, well, this involves factional conflicts among the temple elders, and it may also be related to Karen's own route. Anyway, it is not something that he can understand.

There is no need to spy on it yourself.

In short, Uncle Eisen has already completed a "logical closed loop" for himself.

At this time, Karen remembered what the woman had said to him before:

"No, you will agree."

As a captain, you cannot accept the result of choosing a team member to sacrifice under such circumstances, but what if the person chosen is yourself?

The main reason is that the atmosphere is not suitable. If you are in the middle of a pursuit or when you have no time to make more choices, it is normal to choose one or two people to stop the rear, or they take the initiative to sacrifice to help your teammates.

But in a quiet environment, it's different.

Karen said: "Will you keep your promise?"

The woman smiled and said: "I can also learn from you and swear by your loyalty to the God of Order."

"I refuse."

"Reject my oath?"

"It's to refuse this choice." Karen pointed at the top of his head, "I don't know how many of these stone wither dragons can spit out flames from their mouths, and I don't know what your previous mercy was.

Is it real or just pretending?”

"Well, I understand that as a captain, when faced with a choice that requires one's own sacrifice, one can always find various reasons to escape. This is indeed a very high-quality Whip of Order team. The only

The shortcoming is probably the captain position."

Karen said: "Get ready to fight."

Everyone took their places again, no one hesitated.

The woman's eyes narrowed slightly. The cohesion of this team was much stronger than she imagined.

Karen walked to the front of the team, stood the Sword of Areus in front of him, looked at the woman, and said: "We can't believe your promise, so instead of being a bunch of stupid dogs who are played to death, it's better to

Choose a more dignified way to end for yourself."

"Promise?" The woman raised her hand.

The next moment, all the spectators on the surrounding steps stood up again, and they all put their arms in front of their chests.

The woman also put her arms on her chest. When she spoke, all the spectators around her spoke at the same time:

"Praise for order!"

This scene made everyone stunned.

The woman raised her head and looked at the stone wither lizard head just above her head. Immediately, a strong fire of order spit out and turned into a black fire dragon surrounding the woman. The majestic aura symbolizing order poured out.

"Come here to investigate after accepting a mission. Haha, how could the higher-ups of the Cult of Kosmos not know where this place is?

I don’t have enough coupons to use, and I want to come here to rob tombs to earn some coupons, let’s just say it, haha.”

The woman directly revealed her identity as a Priest of Order. This change in identity made everyone present except Karen relax.

Only Karen's face became more solemn than before.

"I think, can you trust my promise now?" the woman asked.

Everyone looked at the captain.

Karen said: "I can believe it."

"Okay, let's talk about it in detail?" The woman sat down. Under her body, there seemed to be an invisible chair, stably supporting her figure.

"I've been here for too long and I've been too lonely. People outside may think I've lost my sense of self, but I can't leave here."

The woman blinked, and the mirror from before floated over again. She looked into the mirror and was arranging her hair.

Karen touched the hilt of the sword with her fingertips. She was lying...she was now organizing the language of lies.

"Three conditions. First, you must stay and be my shadow. You should have seen the shadow's ability. I can bestow his ability on you."

This is definitely not a good ability. Otherwise, why didn't Ranedal happily maintain that state and still have to compete with himself for his body?

"Second, those who go out must keep the secrets here. I don't like to be disturbed."

It’s a contradictory sentence. If you want to keep a secret, why would you let someone out? After you let someone out, do you still hope to keep the secret?

"Third, if you can find a descendant of the Kangjies family outside, you can bring them to me and exchange them for your captain."

I've told you that it's very difficult to find someone named Kangjies outside now. Are you still thinking of arresting someone from this family to replace me?

This is simply a condition that is impossible to meet, and you are not eager to do so, so this third condition is just to make up the numbers?

"Do you agree?"

The woman looked at Karen.

"I promise."

"team leader?"

"Master?"

Karen looked at Alfred and said in Chinese: "Walk slowly."

Alfred was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

Karen was also stunned for a moment. Wasn't it true that Alfred's language skills were so high?

I'm not saying "goodbye" to you.
