Chapter 167 Guidance from the God of Light(2/3)
Immediately, Karen urged the white horse under his crotch to run forward. His equestrian skills were learned during the time he lived in Allen Manor. They ran far away, although they were not out of the scope of Allen Manor.
"Are you going back?"
"Well, I've been here for three days and it's time to go back. In addition, Alfred called and said that my captain sent someone to the funeral club to ask if I was back. I think there should be a mission.
Already."
In fact, Karen felt that during the meeting at the gas station, Neo should have been planning the next mission, and he might need his participation, otherwise he would not have stayed there waiting for him to come over for dinner after everyone else had left, and
I told myself the story of the duck and the hunting dog.
But he was probably worried that his vacation to visit relatives would be too long, so he sent someone to the funeral home to pay his respects.
In fact, servants of God do not have holidays. For example, Peake and Dincom are currently serving as glorious servants of God as masons for the backyard renovation project of the Funeral Society under the command of Alfred.
But Karen is an exception. After all, his boss is himself, and he can approve leave requests for himself.
"I heard you say yesterday that your captain is a very interesting person."
"Yes."
"I feel that he is very pitiful."
"Well, if I hadn't witnessed his story with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't have decided to come back so soon; if I say that, would you blame me?"
"No, I know you are very busy."
"real?"
"Really, in fact, before you come back, I have been prepared. Even if you never come back, after my lethargy symptoms disappear, I will go to York City to find you in person.
I want to ask you personally if you have forgotten me."
"Then what?" Karen asked.
"Then, there was no more..."
"No more?"
"Well, because I just think that if you try to like someone for the first time in your life, no matter what the result is, you should ask clearly at the end and give yourself an explanation."
The evening breeze blew by, blowing Eunice's long hair and brushing against Karen's face. Karen held her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder, while she leaned in his arms.
"Mr. Anderson showed me the accounts of the family business again this afternoon."
"Then did you watch it?"
"No." Karen shook his head, "I'm not interested in these, but I left you an account and put it in your desk drawer. You can look at it when you wake up tomorrow."
"I don't know how to read the accounts of the manor either."
"It's our family's account. Last month's food purchases, clothing purchases, property fees, gas bills, heating bills, etc. are all on it."
"I'll take a closer look tomorrow."
"Let me explain in advance that there is a maid fee, and the salary is 3,000 reals a month. She is very diligent and responsible.
In addition, there is another expense that seems very high and seems like a woman’s expense. It’s not that there is a woman in the family, but it’s more expensive to raise a cat these days.”
"hehe."
The horse began to turn around and march slowly towards the castle, because it was almost time and Eunice would soon become sleepy again.
On the way back, the two of them didn't speak anymore, they just cuddled each other quietly.
Finally, Karen sensed that the woman in her arms was looking for a suitable sleeping position.
"Sleepy?"
"Fortunately, I want to hold on for a little longer. When you wake up tomorrow, you can leave me home alone."
"I will come back often."
"Karen, have you noticed that in movies and novels, couples seem to say some very romantic vows, but you have never said it to me."
"Do you want to hear it?"
Eunice shook her head and said, "I don't want to."
"Why?"
"Because in movies and novels, most of the couples who made romantic vows never got together in the end."
…
After carrying Eunice back to the bedroom and letting her sleep peacefully, Karen returned to his bedroom.
I thought Pu'er and Kevin would be in the bedroom, but they were nowhere to be seen;
Karen took a shower first, put on her pajamas, and was about to rest when she found Kevin opening the door and coming in, shaking his head at Karen.
"Coming with you?"
Kevin nodded.
Karen followed Kevin out of the bedroom, went downstairs, and continued walking down to a basement-like place under the castle. There was an iron door in the depths, and the original lock on it fell to the ground.
Pushing open the iron door and going in, Karen found a large studio inside, which should be Mr. Bede's studio.
However, only the painting shelf was left in the studio, with no drawing paper or paintings on it. Even the walls had been repainted, which shows that Mr. Bede had cleaned the place before leaving home.
Karen saw Pu'er and found that it was sitting on a painting. It was probably the only painting left in the entire studio. When Karen got closer, he discovered that the painting was painted on a thin wooden board.
.
"Why did you think of coming here?" Karen asked.
"As an elder, isn't it normal to care about the physical and mental health of the younger generation?"
"Sounds reasonable."
Karen squatted down. This painting was of Apple Street, using a "God's perspective", looking down from the sky at two villas next to each other.
The building on the right is the one where Piaget lived. Inside, you can see three men sitting in the living room, drinking wine and chatting.
They are Mr. Bede himself, Piaget, and Karen.
There was a black shadow floating away on the second floor. It should be someone who stayed on the second floor to observe after the delivery man left that day. Karen guessed that it was either Captain Tiers or Adjudicator Rook.
In short, the scene in this building is reproduced at that time, but the building next door is obviously not from the same time.
Because there were so many people in the building next door, Karen remembered that when the incident happened, there were only three people in the villa next door, Elder Doak, Helen and Vernon.
But in the courtyard in the painting, there are at least dozens of people on three floors inside and three floors outside. They are gathering together and worshiping.
In the middle, there is a golden broken clock.
"Worship to a bell?"
Pu'er explained: "This should be an artifact because it is a golden bell. Although bells painted with gold paint are very common, there must be something special about it in this painting."
"Yeah." Karen nodded, agreeing with Pu'er's statement, "Are they accepting the oracle? No, it's not the oracle, it should be the 'divine guidance'."
Oracle generally refers to the arrival of a god's figure to convey his meaning to believers who are loyal to him;
Divine guidance generally refers to borrowing certain rituals or artifacts to connect with God's will and receive a few words of feedback.
Oracles are generally very clear, while divine guidance often requires guessing the true meaning.
Karen remembered that when he borrowed his "identity as a Berry cult" and claimed that he could get the oracle, Helen was very surprised and said: You can still receive the oracle?
It can be seen that today's remnants of light can no longer "see" their God, and can only obtain some thoughts from God in this way.
Moreover, Miss Bertha also told herself that the reason why they approached Piaget was because they were instructed by God, and it should be related to the divine guidance, which is the worship in the picture.
When Mr. Bede lived in that villa, he may have sensed something or learned something from his contact with Elder Doak and the others, so he made this painting.
"Karen, look at the date of this painting." Pu'er reminded.
Many painters have a habit of finishing a painting, leaving the date of completion and stamping it with their own seal. Generally speaking, the date will be marked in the lower right corner.
But the painting is dated in the lower left corner.
Moreover, this date is very early, not the day when the fight broke out on Apple Street, but almost two months earlier.
"This date should refer to the time when the remnants of light received the divine guidance from this bell. After receiving the divine guidance, Bertha and the others gathered a group of people, began to approach and almost controlled Piaget, and waited
Following the opportunity she said was prophesied by God.
Piaget was waiting for Mr. Bede, so when Piaget and Mr. Bede met, the remnants of light felt that they were waiting for the right person, and asked Piaget and Mr. Bede to stay in the villa to complete the painting, providing
The final prophecy.”
Pu'er nodded and said, "Karen, do you have any impression of this date?"
"Um?"
"I should still be at Allen Manor at that time."
"Yes, as for the specific date, don't you remember what happened that day?" Pu'er asked.
"What happened?" Karen pondered. "I can't remember clearly. During the time I lived in the manor, I almost ignored the date and day because the life in the manor was so comfortable."
"It seems that you won't remember your wedding anniversary in the future." Pu'er used his cat's paw to open the thin wooden board. Karen saw that there was a painting behind the wooden board.
