Chapter four hundred and eighty nine home(1/3)
Originally, there was a landmark building in the York City Region, which was the Academic Affairs Building of the York City Region of the Cult of Kosmos. Unfortunately, the academic building collapsed during an operation to capture a traitor. Karen also witnessed this process with his own eyes.
, and it was Richard whom I met at that time.
The new academic building that was later selected was located in the suburbs, and the teleportation circle area was located in the original underground parking lot.
I don't know why, but Karen can smell the smell of engine oil every time she goes in and out of here.
Although Karen believed that the people who cleaned this place might even use purification techniques to do a deep clean, she couldn't change her habit of frowning and wanting to cover her nose whenever she saw the environment here.
But after smelling the salty smell of the sea for a long time, and then smelling the smell of engine oil, I suddenly felt very friendly and had a sense of belonging.
Laure and Leon were waiting here with a group of clergy to greet them.
"Welcome back safely."
Laurel stepped forward and wanted to hug Karen.
Karen noticed that there were reporters outside taking pictures, so he stepped forward with a smile and hugged Laurel.
After separating from Laurel, Leon also stepped forward and opened his arms, and Karen could only hug him.
During the hug, the reporter's shutter kept ringing.
Laian smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work this time."
"It's my duty to work for the religion, it doesn't have to be hard."
"There is a banquet prepared for you, do you want to attend?" Laian asked.
"Can I not participate?" Karen asked.
"Of course, you can cancel at any time. After all, my grandpa thinks that you must be homesick and tired just after you come back."
"Then express my gratitude to the Chief Bishop on my behalf for his thoughtfulness towards his subordinates. I will personally visit you in a few days to thank you."
"Oh, I guess no one in York City wants you to visit now, haha."
Um?
What does this mean?
Karen noticed something unusual from this sentence, but it was obviously not the environment for talking at the moment.
After the welcome ceremony, Karen did not rush to take his men out of the parking lot, oh no, it was the teleportation circle hall. Instead, he sat down to rest in the cafe inside the hall in the corner and ordered a cup of iced latte.
Why just order a drink? Because if you don’t order something, you will be embarrassed to borrow the place to rest;
Why only order one cup? Because the coffee and food shop in the teleportation circle hall are just like the airport catering Karen experienced in her previous life. It's expensive.
This cup of iced latte costs 99 coupons, which is really cheap, even less than 100 coupons.
Originally, Peake and Dincom's monthly Servant of God allowance was enough to have a drink here and leave 1 coupon... If the taxi driver was a collector of commemorative coins, he might be able to take them home.
"Blanche, Mars, do you want to go home?" Karen asked.
Blanche and Mas's home is not in the Venn area, but Karen did not ask Murry. Although his home is in the Dingle area, Karen believes that Murry would not want to go home to visit relatives now and then be beaten by his grandfather.
A meal.
Blanche and Mas looked at each other. Obviously, they wanted to go back. After all, they had been out for a long time, and there was news that they and others were "dead". It was time to go home and reunite with their families.
Karen looked at Alfred: "Go and buy tickets for them."
"Yes, Master."
"Others, you can go to Alfred's place to get some coupons to buy some gifts for your family to take back."
"No need, Captain, this time we are a self-funded observation group and there are no mission rewards." Ventura said straightforwardly.
Generally speaking, when the leader says that he wants to provide benefits to everyone, and a person suddenly stands up and says that he needs to understand the difficulty of the leader and asks for a reduction in benefits, this person will definitely be hated by everyone.
But this problem does not exist here in Karen Team. First, because the team has a very mature system for welfare benefits and reward distribution. After the first few missions, everyone’s wallets are very rich, and there is still a sum of money left in the team’s public finances.
point coupons;
The second thing is...except for Ventura, everyone else's family conditions are very good, so there will be no shortage of pocket money and coupons.
Therefore, if the people with the worst financial conditions and the most disadvantaged families say they don’t want welfare, then everyone really has nothing to say.
In fact, there was a lot of trouble in this mission, especially when we were in the Mipos Islands, and we got a lot of benefits. But the problem is that all of it fell into Neo's pocket, and Neo should have used it to pay off the debt.
"It's a symbolic expenditure. No matter what, everyone has worked very hard this time and experienced so many dangers. Let's treat it as a small holiday."
"Okay, Captain."
"Thank you, captain."
"The other thing is..." Karen reached out and patted Ventura's face gently, "Although we didn't get many substantial rewards this time, the benefits we got were actually far more than these. The biggest benefit is,
It’s invisible, understand?”
Ventura shook his head first, but then nodded again.
Well, he didn't understand.
Ventura is a kid who does whatever Karen says. He has no idea about political gambling, taking sides, and speculating on gaining power.
"Everyone else, let's take a vacation and go home. But I have a feeling that this vacation won't be very long. If something happens, I will call you back. So, Mars, Blanche, do your best."
Mentally prepare.”
"Understood, Captain!"
"Okay, everyone is on vacation!"
Everyone said goodbye and left.
Memphis and Philomena stayed. They looked at each other, and then looked away, intending to let the other person speak first. In the end, both parties just sat there.
In terms of personality, Philomena and Memphis are really similar. They both have social barriers, and judging from the way Memphis beats Richard to relieve stress, they also have violent elements in their hearts.
"Ahem..." Karen looked at Philomena first, "Do you want to go home?"
"Yes." Philomena nodded, "Grandma always waits for me to tell stories when I go back."
"How long do you think there is left?"
"Not now."
"Well, when you feel that your grandma is ready to attack you, tell me and I will help you."
"Yes, Captain."
Philomena stood up, bowed to Karen, then turned and walked out of the coffee shop.
After Philomena left, Memphis took the initiative to lean towards Karen and said, "Karen, when will you go home for dinner?"
A qualified uncle will automatically change his nephew's home into his own home after his sister's death.
"Uncle, I often go home for dinner." Karen smiled.
"No, I didn't know that before, so I didn't feel this way. Now I blame my mother a little bit. She enjoys it every time."
"Haha, okay uncle, I will go home as soon as possible to see grandma."
"Well, look at your grandma, look at your aunt, look at your cousin...forget it, you often look at him, and look at me...what am I talking about..."
Probably because he seldom communicates with his family, even if his condition improves now, it will be difficult for Mr. Eisen to pick up this kind of skill that normal people should know in a short time.
"But..." Mr. Eisen reminded solemnly, "You have to hide your identity well in front of your grandpa, do you understand?"
Obviously, a son understands his father very well.
"I understand, uncle."
"Well, okay, I'll wait for you at home. I'll go back first."
"uncle."
"Hmm? What else do you want?"
"Be careful not to arouse suspicion."
Mr. Eisen nodded immediately and said: "I understand, I will keep my previous habits."
"Um."
Karen looked at the back of Mr. Eisen as he left, feeling that his uncle still had some unfinished intentions in maintaining his habit.
He stood up, picked up the latte on the table, took a big sip, hesitated, and walked out with it. Outside, Alfred stood waiting.
"Where are Murry and Vic?" Karen asked.
"Master, Muri took Vic to the coupon shop upstairs to buy things. Later, Muri will take Vic back to Allen's apartment to settle down."
"Well, okay."
Walking to the door of the Academic Affairs Building, Karen saw the family's black second-hand Pens and a VIP car parked there.
Sitting in the hearse was Richard, and in the VIP car was Neo.
Obviously, Neo, who came back early, had already unzipped his precious VIP car.
Richard got out of the car, walked to Philomena, and then saw Mr. Eisen coming out from behind, and said to him:
To be continued...
