A few more days passed.
During this period, the second batch of extraordinary materials from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce has arrived. At the same time, circus players have completed their tasks and come to request to upgrade their tokens.
While Chen Lun was busy brewing wine, he was also helping players upgrade their silver snake rings.
Life is quite fulfilling.
That day, he suddenly received a letter from the shelter.
The messenger was not an ordinary investigator, but the current manager of the Amber City Shelter, Special Commissioner Ralph.
Chen Lun was very surprised when he got the news. He originally thought that his anonymous "snitching" had been exposed, but after Ralph's introduction, he realized that the other party was here to convey an important message.
Jack Manor.
Villa living room.
At this time, there were only Ralph and Chen Lun here.
Chen Lun made a cup of tea for Ralph and handed it to him politely.
"Although this is our first meeting, I have known you for a long time, Mr. Jack."
Ralph took a sip and said.
He then went on to talk about Chen Lun's "resume", including his escape from the Red Apple Church in Emerald Town and burning down the local church, and then coming to Amber City and experiencing the gallery incident and the battle of the square.
Chen Lun was a little surprised to see Ralph recounting his own deeds in detail.
"Mona has praised you to me more than once, saying that you are a righteous and kind-hearted supernatural being in the wild, but I didn't think so at first... until this time, when you revealed that the Red Apple Church was planning the plague."
Ralph stood up and saluted solemnly, touching his chest.
"On behalf of the asylum, I salute you, Mr. Jack."
"It's just a small favor, Mr. Ralph. You don't have to do this."
Chen Lun smiled and waved his hand, motioning Ralph to sit down.
"After all, I also live in this land and have witnessed many innocent people being ravaged by the plague... This is a disaster caused by supernatural power, so I will naturally not stand idly by."
"well……"
Ralph seemed somewhat touched.
"You are a humble person with a noble character. I have had many prejudices against you in the past... I apologize for this."
"Prejudice is human nature. Aren't we just drinking tea and chatting like friends now?"
Chen Lun continued to refill Ralph's teacup, looking nonchalant.
Ralph smiled and nodded.
"Thank you... Mr. Jack. I came to visit you personally this time because Mona asked me to..."
"Um?"
Chen Lun was a little confused.
Ralph sighed and told Chen Lun that Mona was transferred from Amber City to Sunflower City because of some things.
At the same time, he briefly explains his relationship with Mona and the fact that their common teacher "Rudolf Teka" is actually "Howard the Tragedian".
"Now Howard has been listed as an 'Empire S-Class Wanted Criminal'. The top brass is still investigating his purpose of lurking in the internment camp for many years and is on high alert at all times... But Mona has also been deeply affected. She seems to have become a different person recently and is silent all day long."
Ralph shook his head.
He took out a letter from his arms and pushed it over from the coffee table.
"To be on the safe side, she asked me to hand this letter to you personally and asked me to advise you to leave Amber City as soon as possible... This is the only thing she can do."
After saying that, Ralph stood up and left.
Chen Lun sent him to the gate of the manor.
After Ralph walked away, he stopped and turned back to look at Chen Lun who had disappeared from his sight. He sighed inwardly.
"I don't want people like you to be suppressed. I wish you good luck."
…
…
…
Chen Lun returned to the living room of the villa alone.
Sitting on the sofa, I opened the letter.
Mona conveyed a piece of information in the letter.
She said that due to the recent unrest caused by the Red Apple Church, the Sun Church will send Archbishop Terrence, one of the twelve bishops of the Fiery Sun Monastery, to Fossil City in person to ensure the stability of the entire Gem State.
Although Howard the tragedy writer has been hiding in the Fossil City Asylum for these years, he has been doing an excellent job in his position as Chief Judge under the disguise of Rudolf Teka.
If He had not been exposed, He might even have been able to hold a higher position in the shelter in the future, such as being a senior executive at the Royal City Shelter Headquarters, or being one of the nine chief judges of the Imperial Inquisition, etc.
Therefore, after He defected, it was difficult to find a suitable candidate for the vacant position of Chief Judge of the Fossil City Shelter. The higher-ups had no choice but to send a junior commissioner to take over temporarily.
But in this way, the right to speak in the entire Fossil City will definitely fall into Terrence's hands.
The Church of the Sun has always been domineering, and Terrence is a typical example.
Not only is he cold and ruthless, he is also very powerful. When he liquidates the Red Apple Church in the Gem State, he will most likely investigate the reasons for the disappearance of the "Lighthouse Guardian Team" a while ago.
Mona already knew that the "Lighthouse Guardian Team" seemed to have visited Jack Manor.
That's why she wrote a letter to remind Chen Lun.
Regardless of whether there is evidence to prove that the disappearance of the "Lighthouse Guardian Team" is related to Chen Lun, the final result will definitely not be very good.
This is the conclusion Mona came to based on past history.
After Chen Lun finished reading the letter, he snapped his fingers and the flames coming out of his right hand burned the letter.
He leaned back on the sofa, feeling the pressure in his heart become a little heavier.
"I didn't expect it to be so fast..."
Chen Lun sighed.
He was well aware of the power of the Church of the Sun, and even more so of what one of the twelve bishops of the Fiery Sun Monastery represented.
This is a high-ranking saint, and the best among those in the same sequence.
The reason why the Sun Royal Family was able to rule the empire for so many years was largely due to the power of the Sun Church.
Not only are they excellent in extraordinary forging, they also possess "high-end man-made artifacts" that other forces do not have, and they also have extraordinary incarnation advantages.
The incarnations of the high-ranking ones in the Sun Path are numerous and quite powerful. They are better at suppressing vast territories and maintaining order than those in other sequence paths.
'There is also the 'Daytime Obelisk'... In the middle and late stages of version 1.0 or even version 2.0 of the previous life, this extraordinary building was in full bloom and was the proudest masterpiece of the Church of the Sun. With the arrival of Terrence, it is very likely that he will bring this building core and build it in a very short time.'
Chen Lun was in a bad mood.
"By then, his incarnation will have a wider range of activities. If he comes to cause trouble for me, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape..."
He rubbed his temple.
I remembered another thing.
The United Kingdom of Anlong declared war on the Trisur Empire, something that had never happened in the previous life.
In the previous life, the Empire unilaterally imposed military sanctions on the United Kingdom of Anlong, and then sounded the clarion call for war... Although the result of the war was the same, the process was completely different.
Chen Lun attributed the cause to the butterfly effect caused by himself.
'My various actions have led to the early exposure of the Red Apple Church. They are very likely to have some deep-seated connection with the United Kingdom of Anlong, so that the kingdom declared war, involving the empire's attention, and making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.
This ensures that the turmoil in the Red Apple Church can last longer, which will help them achieve their ulterior motives.'
Chen Lun thought about it seriously.
Then he sighed and realized that he had changed many things in his destiny without realizing it.
"This also applies to Mona. In her previous life, she never had a drastic change of character... Is it because Howard in his previous life had been hiding in the shelter and not exposed?"
The more he thought about it, the more headache he felt.
All these confusing thoughts made him feel that the future was becoming more and more confusing.
“Hurry up a bit, advance to Sequence 6 as soon as possible, and then lead the team out of Amber City!”
Chen Lun's eyes were determined, and he directly called out "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland".
"Without further delay, let's go to the wonderland and look for the six pieces of extraordinary knowledge!"
…
…
…
Apatite City.
Suburbs.
Two figures, one tall and one short, walked between the villages.
The villagers watched them passing by, stopped what they were doing, knelt down respectfully, and chanted words of thanks.
But the two men were indifferent to the villagers' actions.
"Teacher, it turns out that you were the one who caused the extraordinary diseases in the villages around Amber City... No wonder, I thought it was a fantastic idea at the time, using disease to fight disease, and then letting the plague gradually disappear in the human body, and it can also produce a certain resistance."
Maggie said with some excitement.
Akbin, wearing a crow mask, shook his head slightly.
"This is actually a very risky attempt. If it fails, those people will not only not be cured, but will die suddenly from the supernatural disease inflicted on them... If the disease cannot be cured, it will become a massacre."
He stopped, looked at the peaceful village around him, and said calmly:
"This is just a ceremony I arranged . This plague is a disaster for ordinary people, but it is a rare opportunity for us, the few extraordinary people."
“In fact, I know that you still want to rescue them, teacher… and if you hadn’t acted in time, by the time the authorities came to rescue them, all the villagers would have died!
If it were me, I would do the same. I would rather make a mistake than do nothing! "
Maggie chuckled.
"From the results, this is indeed a good thing. It not only saved those villagers, but also helped them advance in their sequence... I hope that in the future, this world will be free of illness and pain."
“A great ideal, but also a foolish one.”
After Akbin made his judgment, he remained silent for a long time.
The two left here and planned to go to another nearby village.
Halfway through, Akbin suddenly spoke:
"Maggie, why are you so obsessed with the Plague Doctor? I can tell you very clearly that this road is a dead end... Not only is there no God at the end of the road, but even angels do not exist."
"I don't care."
Maggie said indifferently.
“I just want to practice what I believe in, even if I fail.”
Akbin turned and glanced at her.
The thick glass of the crow mask reflected the sunlight, making it impossible to see the eyes underneath.
"Well... but you have to know that even if you are a doctor, you still have to learn how to kill, because this is how the world is. If you don't kill people, others will kill you for various reasons...
Just like you are now a member of Jack's team, you can't always just be a logistics person, the road is long and there will be all kinds of accidents. "
When Maggie heard what Akbin said, she nodded heavily and agreed with him.
"I know, teacher. In fact, I was kicked out of the Natural Cult because I was researching various poisons... Of course, that's just what the forest elders said. In my opinion, as long as it can save people, it doesn't matter even if it's poison."
Akbin smiled for the first time.
His voice was low and contained a hint of joy.
"It seems like you are really suited to this path, Maggie."
Akbin thought for a moment and took out a glass jar containing a dog embryo soaked in a yellow-brown potion.
Maggie looked at it with great curiosity.
"In that case, I will teach you how to train a 'sick dog'... This is one of my personal research results, and it can provide some powerful protection for weak doctors like us.
I hope this knowledge can bring about better changes in your hands."
"Yes! Teacher!"
…
…
…
wonderland.
Haze Plains.
The sky was filled with gray-black fog and visibility was extremely low.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...!
Several subtle sounds of breaking through the air were heard.
The cards disappeared into the mist.
Chen Lun walked forward slowly, holding the black hat. After walking about dozens of meters, he saw four ragged humanoid creatures lying crookedly on the ground.
They are the polluting creatures unique to the Haze Plains, the Moonless People.
Just now, Chen Lun detected the small wave of monsters ahead based on his spiritual intuition and divination, and directly ejected the cards. Before they could transform into werewolves, they were killed by the cards flying in from the dark.
The ground was covered with filthy black and red blood. The heads of the four Moonless People were severed by cards and rolled to the side. Their eyes were wide open on their ugly faces.
He seemed shocked by the sudden death.
Chen Lun fiddled with his silver cane a few times, knocking down the homemade spears they were holding tightly in their hands, then bent down and disassembled the spear heads made of black crystal "Dragon Stone" and put them into the Blood Poetry Ring.
Soon, the corpses disintegrated into fine particles, sank into the ground and disappeared completely.
"According to the information revealed to me by Her Majesty Maggie, the second wooden house in the Haze Plains is not far ahead."
Chen Lun thought.
Prior to this, he had successfully found the first wooden house that contained the extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 6 - Flying Man]. After a battle, he killed the contaminated creature guarding the wooden house.
But unfortunately, the extraordinary knowledge in the wooden house only overlapped with one-fourth of what Chen Lun already had, so it was essentially a wasted trip.
"But it's better this way... the next five cabins will never be the same again."
Chen Lun comforted himself silently.
He strode forward and continued walking for about ten minutes, when his spiritual intuition soon brought him a new warning.
Wow...
A stack of poker cards suddenly appeared in his hand, and as he shuffled the cards with both hands, a series of residual images were drawn.
Two of them popped out on their own and then hovered in mid-air.
A "10 of Spades" and a "2 of Spades".
"At ten o'clock and two o'clock respectively..."
A thought flashed through Chen Lun’s mind.
He held two cards between his fingers, flicked his wrist, and the cards flew out at high speed.
After waiting for two seconds, Chen Lun narrowed his eyes, held the black hat and turned around.
The black wide windbreaker was lifted up, and his figure disappeared from the spot, replaced by a blood-stained card.
boom!
In front of the wooden house, a four-meter-tall brown werewolf suddenly turned its head. The silver shadow suddenly dropped, and with a dull bang, the cane hit the side of its neck hard.
Oooooh!
The werewolf staggered, dazed by the blow.
Chen Lun did not stop, and after landing, he swung his silver cane, transforming it into a snake sword. At the same time, the brown glove on his right hand spewed out extraordinary flames, which poured into the sword.
Whoosh——
The winding fire snake was like a curved orange silk thread, suddenly falling on the werewolf's chest.
Phew!
A deep cut opened from the left shoulder to the right waist of the brown giant werewolf, and the skin and flesh were turned back, revealing the ribs and internal organs. The extraordinary flame was still attached to the wound, burning fiercely.
The werewolf howled in pain.
At this moment, another black werewolf came to the rescue and pounced on Chen Lun from behind.
It opened its huge mouth full of saliva and pointed teeth, and swung its sharp claws, trying to tear the small humanoid creature in front of it into pieces!
'Normal state!'
Chen Lun tore his sleeves, and eight thick white pythons suddenly appeared from behind him, like blooming flowers. The black werewolf was caught by the eight white pythons in mid-air, unable to move.
It was lifted high up, and while struggling, it did not forget to roar and snarl.
But it was in vain.
The eight white pythons were like ropes that were gradually tightened, making a creaking sound as they twisted.
The black werewolf's eyeballs were bulging and bloodshot.
Woo——Boom!
Chen Lun bent down, and the eight white pythons behind him slammed it to the ground. He could feel the slight vibration of the ground under his feet, which showed the power of the blow.
The brown werewolf endured the sword wounds on his chest and abdomen, roared and pounced forward at an extremely fast speed.
Clang! Clang!
Chen Lun swung the snake sword in his hand and collided with its sharp claws.
"Go to hell!"
His eyes turned fierce.
The speed of the snake sword in his hand was getting faster and faster. At the same time, the eight giant pythons behind him began to continuously hit the black werewolf on the ground, like overwhelming white fist shadows .
Chen Lun swung his sword in front of him while the white python "swung its fist" from behind, fighting one against two.
clang clang clang...!
Bang bang bang...!
There was a burst of intensive and crisp collisions, mixed with muffled crackling sounds.
The snake sword in Chen Lun's hand suddenly extended, spun in the air, and directly cut off the head of the brown werewolf in front of him.
Puff——!
The blood gushed out, burning with extraordinary flames, and turned into foul-smelling white smoke.
The snake sword was retracted with a whoosh, Chen Lun turned around, wiped off the blood on the sword, and at the same time, the eight white pythons behind him intertwined into a spiral "giant hammer" and smashed down fiercely.
Boom! !
The black werewolf's head and neck were smashed into a pool of mud.
clang!
Sparks flew.
Chen Lun had already put on the black hat, holding the silver cane gently in his hand, and stood quietly in place.
In front and behind the body, there were two giant werewolf corpses collapsed.
[Kill the polluted creature "Rogue Moonless Mob" and gain 12,000 experience points!] *2
"Hmm... it's a pretty powerful polluting creature."
Chen Lun groaned for a moment.
After waiting for a while and the two werewolf corpses disappeared, he bent down and picked up the remaining extraordinary materials, a palm-sized wolf tooth and a tuft of brown wolf hair.
In addition, there is a gray glass bead.
'Is this a mysterious substance from the conspiracy faction? '
Chen Lun felt that this was a pleasant surprise, but he was also a little confused.
"Could it be that the polluted creatures in the Haze Plains all contain the power of conspiracy?"
He put aside the question mark in his mind, walked straight forward and pushed open the door of the wooden house.
Unlocks another cabin to put him in a good mood.
As usual, after Chen Lun took a quick glance inside the cabin, he went straight to the table and searched it.
Soon, he found the extraordinary knowledge that Philip left here.
[Discover extraordinary knowledge! Destiny Faction Sequence 6 - Flying Man (1/6)! ]
Chen Lun showed joy on his face and put away the torn page.
"Very good... Next, we will head to the next cabin and try to get the third piece of Sequence 6 Transcendental Knowledge in the next two days!"
