Chapter 351 Sacrifice
On the second day, everyone did not go out for activities, but stayed in the training base to familiarize themselves with their war equipment.
Karen stayed in his room all day, leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, put his hands in his pockets, and recalled the contents of Mr. Hoffin's notes in his mind, while "The Key to the Rubik's Cube" was deducing silently .
Basically, sitting for the whole morning, after lunch, sitting for the whole afternoon.
This made Ventura, who came back from the door at night, mistakenly think that the captain's "illness" has not been relieved, and still insists on laying the floor at the door of the captain's bedroom at night.
After nightfall, Karen will basically stop studying, but will read some novels to interrupt his study.
After a while, Karen will fall asleep.
On the third day, the process is still the same, and I study alone in the morning.
But in the afternoon, the doorbell rang, and Karen went to open the door. Standing at the door was Murray.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. My grandpa called me home for a meal. I want to invite you to come back with me."
Murray explained his purpose.
"I don't want to go." Karen refused.
Being a guest at someone else's house is itself a very depressing thing, not to mention that he knew Murry's family status in advance.
With eyes closed, I can imagine that after I went to his house, I sat on the sofa with Murray, and greeted the scrutiny from the elders. It would definitely not be a warm visit.
"Okay." Murray smiled wryly, "I didn't expect you to refuse so simply."
"Have a nice family dinner."
"Well, see you tomorrow."
"Ok, see you tomorrow."
After seeing Murry off, Karen sat back on the sofa, intending to continue spending the afternoon with "study".
But at this moment, there was a slight cracking sound, and Karen opened his eyes.
He arranged a small formation barrier in the living room area, a formation that couldn't be simpler. The difficulty lies in how to make it simpler.
The real use of this formation is not for defense and isolation, but for early warning.
Because if you touch it lightly, it will crack.
"What are you doing?"
Pillow appeared in the living room.
He was able to come in, which is not surprising. He started the first substitute class and left the training base with 12 people. The defensive formation in the base did not respond at all.
Karen stood up and replied respectfully, "I'm studying."
"What are you studying?"
"Array."
"Hehehe." Pillow smiled happily, "That's right, formation is the real way. What kind of formation are you learning, and where is the book?"
"I remembered some of them in my mind, and now I'm taking them out to think about them."
"Well, it's a good way to learn, come on, take this over."
Pirlo raised his hand, and he held a box in his hand.
Karen stepped forward to take the box, opened it, and there were notebooks inside.
"These are part of my formation experience." Pirlo said while sitting on the sofa, expecting the excitement that would appear on Karen's face.
Karen said excitedly, "Thank you, mentor."
Pirlo blinked, looking excited, but he still felt something was missing.
What he didn't know was that Karen already had a full set of formation skills.
"Any questions you want to ask me?" Pyro took out his pipe, "I just have some time now."
Karen hesitated for a moment before saying the name of a formation.
Pillow explained to Karen while smoking a cigarette.
After explaining this formation, Pillow smiled and said, "I think it's too early for you to study this level of formation. Don’t pay attention to these things, just understand the basics again, and you can avoid a lot of detours when you climb up later.”
"Yes, mentor, I remember."
"Okay, I should go too. You guys are going to the Samsara Valley tomorrow. Be careful. Well, there's no need to send it off."
After speaking, Pirlo's figure disappeared.
Karen carefully put away these notes together with the box. Although he will not use this item, it still cannot conceal its preciousness.
After Ventura came back in the evening, Karen asked him to send these items to the teleportation circle. The disadvantage is that it costs some coupons, but the advantage is that it can be delivered home quickly.
At seven o'clock the next morning, everyone packed up their things and assembled in the lobby on the first floor of the base.
There are two teams, two captains standing in front, all wearing divine robes, and ordinary personnel are responsible for carrying all the ordinary luggage, and everyone only needs to carry what they need.
Karen carried the sword of Achilles on his back.
Ashley gently leaned on Bart who was standing beside her with her shoulder, and teased: "The captain's sword is bigger than yours."
Bart rolled his eyes at Ashley. His weapon is also a sword, but it's not a big sword, but no matter what, it's hard for a man to remain indifferent when it comes to big and small issues.
"I haven't seen the captain fight with a big sword except for the last class taught by Li Wen. I'm really looking forward to it."
"What's there to look forward to?" Bart asked.
"Hey, it's definitely not worth looking forward to when you fight with a big sword, but when the captain uses it, it can give me a special feeling."
"Contrast?"
"Well, the contrast is handsome."
Several bishops, related officials and reporters came over and started taking pictures, group photos, speeches, and blessings.
Generally speaking, the more meaningless the form, the longer it lasts.
When all the relevant leaders finished their performances, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, everyone arranged to go to the academic affairs area. At the entrance of the teleportation building, another team was in charge of reception, headed by a middle-aged man with a scar on his face.
"My name is Groven, and I'm the person in charge of the trip to the Valley of Reincarnation. You can call me by my name directly, or you can call me the leader."
The leader here has nothing to do with the Knights, but more like the leader of a tourist group.
Grovin handed Murray a document and a letter of appointment, motioning for him to circulate.
After Murray read it, he handed it to Karen. No need to read the letter of appointment, it must be true, and the content of the document instructs the members of the two teams to obey the arrangement of Captain Grovin, who will represent the will of the Holy See here.
So, is there any special order that the head of the group carries with him, and will he not issue it until he arrives in the Samsara Valley?
Otherwise, there is no reason to give this additional document.
After reading it, Karen passed the document and letter of appointment, turned his head and glanced at Murry standing beside him, and asked:
"What's the matter, it feels like you have a heavy heart today?"
Murray smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Last night, I felt the kind care from grandpa."
"Is something wrong?"
"No." Murray shook his head.
After everyone took a good look at the documents and the letter of appointment, Grovin said, "When we arrive at the Valley of Reincarnation, all your actions will be under my command. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Captain!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Karen's two teams have a total of 12 people, and Groven's team has more than 30 people. They also took over the luggage of Karen and others.
Unfortunately, because of a small technical problem with the teleportation circle in front, the teleportation circle on the latter layer was delayed.
The big guys can only wait in the waiting area, which is said to be a waiting area, but in fact there is not even a chair. Everyone sits on the floor with their weapons next to them. This makes Karen feel like he was delayed by plane in his previous life.
After waiting for nearly two hours, the notification came from the radio.
Everyone walked into the teleportation array, and after a flash of white light and shaking for about 10 minutes, Karen and others appeared on a small island.
Ahead is the pier, where boats are moored.
There is also a team of knights patrolling around the teleportation circle.
After coming out, everyone had to move their bodies. This was the worst teleportation circle that Karen had ever ridden, and their bodies were almost falling apart.
The reason is simple. The teleportation circle at the reception point is a simple and temporary one. The Reincarnation Sect is not like Dark Moon Island. Even if they are defeated, it is impossible for the Order Sect to set up a complete teleportation point in their Reincarnation Valley.
After arriving here, the next step is to take a boat to Samsara Valley. It will not take too long. It is almost noon now, and it will probably arrive tomorrow morning.
It's just that everyone originally thought that a teleportation circle would reach the destination, but they really didn't expect to need a transfer.
On the pier, Karen also saw many priests of reincarnation. This island should be under the temporary joint management of the two major religions, or the religion of order must be used under the supervision of the religion of reincarnation.
However, no one on the side of Order felt the humiliation of being watched. This was equivalent to setting up a teleportation point at the gate where the Holy See was located, so they should be nervous.
After all... The Sect of Order defeated the Sect of Reincarnation by means of a teleportation array.
The space in the passenger ship is very spacious. The team members have a single room for each person, and there is a very simple bathroom inside. Karen took a shower, changed the divine robe, and lay down on the bed in casual clothes.
He has a habit developed in the hunting dog team, that is, before the start of the mission, seize all the time and make up for as much sleep as he can, because eating and drinking can be quickly resolved, only sleeping takes time.
After squinting for an hour, there was a knock on the door, and the voices of Ventura and Murrie came from the door.
Immediately, Murray opened the door and walked in, holding two meals in his hands.
Karen sat up and took the tray, saying "Thank you."
Murray sat on the chair, Karen sat on the edge of the bed, and the two of them ate.
After eating, Murray was about to leave with the plate.
Karen asked suspiciously, "Don't you have something to say?"
Murray shook his head, sighed, and walked out of the room.
After eating, Karen came to take a walk on the deck. The sea here was very strange, there was no wind and waves, but the fog was getting heavier and heavier. It was just a light fog when I first boarded the boat, and now the visibility is very low.
"Captain Cullen?"
Karen turned around and saw Groven approaching.
"Hello, Captain."
Groven nodded, pointed to the thick fog in the distance, and said, "After midnight tonight, if you are still interested in coming here, you can use the searchlight above to shine down, you can see There are many ghost boats floating on the sea."
"Ghost boat?"
"They don't really exist, they're just some form of spiritual imprint recorded by this thick fog. The closer they get to the Samsara Valley, the activity of the soul will be strengthened, which can also be understood as a change of some kind of rule."
"So that's the case, Commander, have you been here many times before?"
"The priest stationed abroad has changed many times, but I have been the deputy military attache next to the priest stationed abroad for three consecutive times."
Karen knew that the foreign priests here were equivalent to diplomats between countries.
"I really like this place." Grovin leaned back on the railing, "Here, it is always easy to make people quiet, and sometimes I will deliberately go to the junction of the Samsara Valley to look at the distance Walking corpses marching in line."
Groven waved his hand lightly, and continued: "Life and death have lost the sense of boundaries in the traditional sense, forming a special sense of beauty."
Karen nodded and said, "This feeling is conceivable."
"But this kind of beauty will not make you miss it, but you will always want to destroy it, just like a new book, it has a corner, you know it is wrong, and you want to smooth it, but you always Neither can."
Karen didn't know why the leader had to talk so much to himself.
"Okay, I have something to discuss with you, come to my room."
"Yes, Captain."
Karen followed Grovin to his room. To Karen's surprise, Ventura was already standing there, reading a letter in his hand.
"Whose letter?" Karen asked.
"Captain, it's a letter from my grandparents."
"Can't you make a phone call?" Karen asked.
This letter must have been sent by the teleportation circle express, otherwise it would not have been sent here so quickly. Ventura would not have been willing to spend such a large amount of coupons to send and receive the letter. Most importantly, the hotel telephone You can make long distance calls for free, but it takes a long time to transfer.
So the purpose of this letter is to touch Ventura's heart at this time, or is it a threat?
Karen's cautious character made him used to think of the bad side first, and the scene in front of him was really unreasonable.
Grovin took out a letter and opened the envelope. Inside was a new document, which he handed to Ventura first.
After Ventura finished reading, his eyes widened.
Karen reached out to take it, and there was an order on the document, ordering Ventura to use his own body as a carrier to carry Fnetus' soul back.
It was stamped and signed by several people.
"What does that mean?" Karen asked.
Growan bit a cigarette, lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke ring, and said, "Don't you understand, Captain Cullen?"
"I mean, is it safe?"
Groven laughed and said, "If safety can be ensured, there is no need to issue separate orders. After landing on the island, we will give you the token belonging to Phinetes among the two tokens, which will be kept by Ventura. The array pattern has been arranged according to the characteristics of his soul, which can make it easier to summon and carry the return of the soul through tokens."
"If I'm not wrong, the formation must have the effect of suppressing the user's soul, right?"
"Of course, otherwise, how can we better take over the soul?"
"It's risking Ventura's life."
This is equivalent to giving one's own soul a knife first, and then introducing another soul to squeeze out one's own soul to occupy one's body.
This is not a soul contract, it is a direct replacement for occupying!
"Yes, that's right. Therefore, the Church of God rewards him. Whether he succeeds or fails, his family will also be honored and supported by the Church of God."
"I can't take it," Karen said.
"I understand your feelings, Captain Karen, but this is his duty. We are all loyal to the Religion, to the God of Order, and it is the duty of each of us to give everything for the Religion."
"You are distorting the concept, if there is a church war broke out, if you die on the battlefield, or when you are on a mission, in order to save your companions, if you sacrifice under these circumstances, it is indeed a sacrifice.
However, just to bring back two souls that even you yourself don't know what the situation is now, you need to prepare for sacrifice in advance, I can't accept it.
Ventura is still very young, and he is still very talented. Do you know how much hard work and hardship he has put in to get to where he is today?
Our belief in order should not be trampled on like this. "
"Captain Karen, I can understand your feelings, but I'm sorry, this is a decision made by the higher authorities, and Ventura is one of the most suitable candidates."
"What about the other person?"
"It's Captain Murray, he already knew his responsibility, and he agreed."
"We don't agree here."
"Someone has to sacrifice. This is an established order. If you violate the order, the whole team will be punished! Besides, Captain Karen, if you don't choose Ventura, will you choose?"
"I am willing!"
Karen said without hesitation.
He wanted to see if Fenetus' soul could occupy his body, which was something that even Ranedar failed to do.
Karen agreed so straightforwardly, but Groven was a little at a loss as to how to accept it.
"If this matter cannot be changed, okay, I request that the bearer target be changed to me, and I will take Ventura's place."
"Ventura is the most suitable candidate and has been confirmed."
"You can increase the effect of the array on the keepsake. In fact, the difference will not be very big, but it is used as a carrier."
"Hehe, the list that has already been confirmed cannot be..."
"Leader, either change it to me, or, in the name of the captain, I will lead my team to refuse to enter the gate of reincarnation. This is my bottom line."
"No, I will come, captain, I will come, I am the most suitable..."
"boom!"
Ventura was kicked to the ground by Karen.
Then,
Karen stared at Groven and said seriously: "Leader, please make a choice. I know that you have the right to make changes."
"Are you serious?" Grovin also looked at Karen.
"Yes, if I want to be loyal to Order, I don't want to give up this opportunity to others, and praise the great... God of Order!"
"Hehe." Groven smiled, "I admire you very much, Captain Cullen."
"You agreed?"
"Yes, I agreed, the token binding ceremony will be held tonight, please come and attend on time."
"I will."
Karen walked out of Grovin's room, just in time to see Murray standing with his back leaning against the aisle with his hands folded. He looked at Karen and smiled.
At this time, Ventura caught up and said, "Captain, I can't let you replace me, I will..."
"boom!"
Karen kicked Ventura again, and Ventura fell to the ground and rolled, and the back of his head hit the iron door with a bang.
Murray looked a little surprised, and said to Karen: "You replaced your team members?"
"Yes."
"I admire you."
"Thank you."
"I am because of my grandpa's 'kindness', how about you?"
Karen looked at Ventura who got up again and planned to continue to come and get kicked,
I said in my heart:
"I am also because of grandpa's kindness."
