"Did I do something wrong?" Old Destiny raised his hand, as if he wanted to save something, but he just grabbed a handful of air.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs.
In terms of Lao De's career and inheritance, he is right. When he reaches his position, he is no longer responsible for the survival and honor of a family, but the future of the entire faction. Even those from the good and lawful camp
Internal fighting will not be any gentler than the evil faction.
It turns out that Mark’s resentment cannot be wrong.
Throughout the ages, this world has passed down the inheritance to the first son rather than the second son.
There is no final conclusion on this matter.
Fortunately, Albert was a bystander and he grabbed Lao De: "Teacher, calm down, haven't you noticed that Mark doesn't hate you so much?"
The old man was stunned for a moment and then realized: "Yes! He used to scold me very unpleasantly. He would open and close his mouth and call me 'old man' and 'selfish devil'. I should join the [Greed] Church."
Albert was ashamed and pretended that he had not heard these words.
As a person in authority, Lao De was really overly concerned and a little bit crazy: "I'll go and beg Nate again right now."
"Wait a minute! Teacher, before coming to this room, Mr. Knight has already explained to us about Mark's curse. It's not that Lady Night refuses to protect Mark, it's just... is it possible that Lady Night wants to train Mark? After all, Mark has already
He is like a person who has experienced three S-level worlds. Another S-level curse may not be able to stump him."
The old man was stunned for a moment, and after looking at it carefully, he felt that his disciple was right.
The graduation test in the S-level world, the S-level [Book of the Nether Sea], and this time at least the S-level [Blood Moon Baptism], unknowingly, Mark has won most of the Light Judges.
An unbeatable achievement.
He slapped his forehead and finally realized that he was the one who was deceived by the authorities.
"I have always had a very good relationship with Knight. Since he is keeping an eye on me, I won't care about it for now. Then... shall I... go and have a look at his followers?" Lao De finally returned to his IQ level.
Albert breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the time, his teacher was very good. But when he met Master Mark, whom he felt most guilty for, he immediately lost his mind.
He reminded: "Teacher, let me go over there. With your status, I'm afraid of scaring others."
"Yeah, that's okay."
Mark didn't know that he was being bypassed. As soon as he left, he was caught at his new post.
Here, Helena paced uneasily in the guest room. She also knew that nothing would happen to her young master, but thinking that Mark was going to face a true god, her lack of confidence drove all the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart to come out.
.
The waiters here were very nice and polite, but without further information, Helena felt uneasy.
At this time, Albert came.
"Hello, Your Excellency, are you..." Helena was a little surprised when she saw the other party dressed as a bishop.
"Child, don't be nervous. I am Albert, the Bishop of St. Leiden City of the Church of Light, and I am also a student of Cardinal Antoine Destiny. I am here to visit as entrusted by Mark's grandfather."
"Hello! I am Helena Mishul... a follower of Master Mark." Helena opened her eyes wide after hearing this and shouted in her heart: I guessed it right, Mark is indeed the eldest young master.
Helena hurriedly saluted: "Your Excellency, er, Young Master Mark, is he okay?"
"His curse is indeed a problem. Lady Night has promised to protect him, so it must not be a big problem."
Helena was really relieved and quickly replied: "Then, what are your orders?"
"I can't talk about the instructions. I just want to take care of my grandson's current situation on behalf of the old man and ask if he needs anything."
"Young Master Mark..." Helena was stunned. She really didn't know what to propose.
Albert smiled kindly: "Mark's kid has been very stubborn and rebellious since that incident. The relationship between their grandfather and grandson is indeed not good. I don't really hope his grandfather will interfere with his affairs. I won't embarrass you.
, you don’t have to say anything about things you consider secret. His grandpa just wants to know if he is doing well these days."
Helena didn't know how to reject this kind elder at all, so she still said a lot of things after hesitating.
She deliberately avoided the presence of Mini, Bison, and Conrad.
It's a pity that she was not good at words, and relatively speaking, her temperament was even more innocent. Even if Albert didn't deliberately use words to induce her, he still came up with a lot of words.
Fortunately, Albert was one of her own, otherwise she would have sold Mark.
"Okay, thank you Miss Mishull for being candid. The relationship between their families is still quite awkward. Before they reconcile, please ask Miss Mishull to take more care of Mark." Albert got up and rummaged through his pocket.
He flipped through it, picked out a few cards and pushed them on the table.
If this was some kind of deposit card, Helena would definitely not dare to accept it.
Her eyes widened as soon as she saw it. Those were the contact information of several great craftsmen of the Mechanicum.
"Miss Mishuer is trying to be promoted to a master craftsman. My teacher has some friendship with these people. If you are missing key tools or parts, or if you want to ask any questions, you can ask these people."
"I accept this with shame."
Albert left with satisfaction.
Helena's heart was filled with excitement, and her mind was filled with Mark's family background.
Mark didn't know about Helena's side of the story. As soon as he went out, he met the inquisitor Abner Miller waiting there.
"Sir Miller?"
Abner showed a gentle smile: "Mr. Destiny, I have just been informed by Mr. Knight that you will become the advisor of this new team under me. So I am waiting here."
"Uh. Okay." Mark murmured in his heart: So efficient? Does it mean that I have to pay 996 to work with the goddess of the night?
He couldn't refuse the other party's reasons, but seeing Abner's mysterious smile, Mark felt that there was something waiting for him.
Leaving the Great Temple of the Night and coming to another cave, what appeared in front of Mark was an underground fortress, or a weaponized cave would be more appropriate.
After twisting and turning, he came to a house with a lantern of the same style as the Inquisitor hanging on the door. As soon as he entered, Mark knew why.
A man and a woman said in unison: "It's you!?"
The first thing that came to Mark's mind was the old joke 'How old are you?'
Where in life do we not meet!
"Vivian Carlos."
"Mark Destiny."
Say each other's names and let's get to know each other seriously.
Seeing Mark, Vivian felt that her original heroic temperament was immediately suppressed.
Not long after she came out, she knew that the damn Mr. Carbine was the Mark she had been asked to help protect.
This made her quite upset.
The important man who theoretically needed her to protect him at all costs, unexpectedly took her flying instead.
It made her feel so stupid.
Just the stupid things she did on the night of the blood moon were enough for her to compile a collection of the scandals she had made since her debut. She would look back on them when she became famous in the future, and publicly let herself die socially.
If it were anyone else, she might have been able to pretend she didn't know, but with Mark, she couldn't even hide.
The gods have imposed a ban on the spread of information about the blood moon baptism. This does not include the baptism participants themselves!
This is very embarrassing.
On the other hand, Vivian was deeply moved by the song "The Lonely Warrior", which was the core of her struggle.
She couldn't face Mark with a single emotion like simple love or hate.
At this time, Abner came out to smooth things over: "Okay, Carlos trainee judge, don't worry about the other party's identity. This time, [Whip of Night] directly issued an order to form a three-person [Purification Team]
, to deal with the recent increasingly frequent demonic incidents. Mr. Destiny was brought in to provide consulting advice, and we do not have the right to let him take action."
Vivian stood at attention: "Yes!"
Abner nodded: "You two will chat for a while, and I will pick up the third person."
Abner ran away first, leaving Vivian even more embarrassed.
Mark had no intention of embarrassing her, so he opened up the conversation first: "Forget about the pseudonym, I just want to protect myself. As for the Destiny family, they have little to do with me. You don't need to worry about that."
"Yeah." Vivian responded like a dull gourd, then lowered her head and counted how many flying insects flew by.
"Alas!" Mark sighed. He didn't know what the higher-ups did to put him and her together.
This somewhat involves high-level gaming and py transactions.
The relationship between the Church of Light and the Church of Night is very strange. They look down on each other. Most of the time, the Church of Light acts as a civil servant and directs the violent organization of the Church of Night.
But the Church of Light also controls the armed forces such as the Guardian Knights on the surface.
This intricate relationship is not something Mark can figure out in a moment.
"Yes, Vivian, there is something I want you to help me with."
