The group came to the living room on the first floor of the manor villa.
After Chen Lun arranged for everyone to sit on the sofa, Floy went to the kitchen to make tea for the guests.
She carried the tray to the living room and personally added sugar to the tea for the two young girls. The nobles all liked black tea with sugar, the sweeter the better.
"That's so thoughtful... Thank you, Miss Floy."
Rebecca smiled sweetly and said politely.
She also deliberately glanced at Rui Yi and smiled proudly, to express that she and Mr. Jack were very familiar with each other. Rui Yi pursed his lips, took the teacup, and thanked Flo Yi.
But when the two drank the black tea, their faces changed slightly and they almost spit out the tea in their mouths.
Fortunately, the two of them always paid attention to their ladylike appearance, suppressed their discomfort, swallowed the tea into their throats, and forced out a smile.
"It's... a little salty, Miss Floy."
Floy showed surprise on her face, and then said apologetically:
"Oh... sorry, I seem to have confused sugar and salt. I'll make you two a new cup."
"It's all right, Miss Floyd."
Rebecca and Ray saw the "black cloth" covering Floy's eyes and knew that she was a blind girl, so of course they would not care about this mistake.
Only Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and noticed the smile on Floy's lips when she turned and left.
He wiped his sweat secretly.
This nun of mine seemed a little jealous.
"Mr. Jack, I hope you don't mind that I'm here with Rui Yi to visit you today..."
Malediz spoke up at this time.
He kept a low profile and spoke in an extremely respectful tone.
On the way, Maledice asked Pompey and Sibert for more detailed information about Chen Lun. The more he learned, the more shocked and annoyed the old man became.
I shouldn't have been so rude to the young man at that time. Fortunately, he had a noble character. If it was a narrow-minded extraordinary person, I am afraid that both myself and Rui Yi would have encountered unexpected events.
Mr. Jack saved his granddaughter Ree without asking for anything in return, and the cult member he contacted disappeared without a trace with the things he had.
I was really cheated!
Maledice was almost mad with anger and was extremely upset.
Of course, the thing he was most grateful for was that he met Mr. Jack.
It's not a question of whether he is great or not! He is really that kind of person... that kind of person who is rare. His heart is as big as the sea, his compassion is like an angel, he is polite and noble.
"It's okay, Mr. Maledice, it's not a bother... As for thanking you, there's no need. Miss Rui is a kind and lovely girl, and she shouldn't be harmed by that evil curse."
Chen Lun smiled faintly, very politely.
Maledis felt even more ashamed and thanked him again quickly.
He directly took out an Imperial Bank certificate with a face value of several thousand gold pounds and insisted that Chen Lun accept it no matter what.
"Although a supernatural being like you may not care about ordinary money, I still want to express my gratitude... Please accept it."
Maledice said sincerely.
Chen Lun looked at the black hard card, smiled politely, and accepted it "reluctantly".
The action of putting his hands in his pockets looked quite skillful no matter how you looked at it.
The atmosphere gradually became relaxed and everyone started chatting happily.
At this time, Mrs. Pompey noticed something and whispered in Viscount Pompey's ear.
The Viscount looked around the living room and found that many decorations had been removed and some small furniture had been moved out, so he asked Chen Lun in confusion:
"Mr. Jack, are you planning to renovate the villa... or move?"
Chen Lun took a sip of tea and said casually:
"Well, we're moving... We're planning to leave Amber City, and we wanted to take some time to visit you, Mr. Zijue, to say goodbye."
"Ah...Mr. Jack, you're leaving?!"
Rebecca was surprised.
The others also showed surprised expressions.
Chen Lun nodded.
"Well, because of some troubles... I have to leave here to avoid getting others into trouble, or even getting you into trouble."
Viscount Pompey wanted to say something, but at this moment, Connie ran over again.
"Mr. Jack!"
She handed a letter to Chen Lun, and then whispered breathlessly:
"There are a few people outside the manor. They say they are Mr. Maledice's guards... they are here to deliver a letter. The situation is very urgent."
Chen Lun took the letter but did not open it without permission. Instead, he asked Connie to rest first, then put the letter on the coffee table and pushed it in front of old Mr. Maledice.
"This is an urgent letter from your guard."
Maledis was a little confused. After thanking him, he picked up the envelope, quickly opened it and started to check.
Not long after.
His face changed drastically.
"Yellow Iron City... has been destroyed!"
He couldn't help but speak out, as if he had received a huge shock.
When the people around heard it, they couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What?!"
"Huang Tieshi, did we just leave and...?"
"Old General, what happened?!"
Malediz was a little excited. He clenched the letter in his hand and then spoke the contents of the letter in a deep voice.
His voice was slightly trembling and hoarse, and he was obviously a little bit unbelieving.
"It's the 'Red Disaster'! The top leaders of the Red Apple Church used some mysterious supernatural power to transform countless citizens into flesh-eating monsters...! Everything is in chaos! Yellow Iron City has even lost contact... just like the other cities!"
"How is that possible?!"
Pompey and Sibert were horrified.
Even Mrs. Pompey and the two little girls couldn't help but cover their mouths.
The old man lowered his head, suppressing his anger.
"If... we hadn't come to visit Mr. Jack, perhaps..."
Siebert muttered.
Pompey was stunned at first, then lowered his head in silence.
Yes, if they had not happened to leave Huangtie City, they would probably have been caught up in this disaster and had a narrow escape from death.
Chen Lun's face turned solemn when he heard what Malediz said.
"It is indeed Rafa... I just didn't expect that at this point in time, he would actually destroy the city directly!"
He took a deep breath.
Silently opened the game forum.
I searched for information about Huangtie City and soon saw posts about urban unrest, fallen believers, and Archbishop Rafa.
Chen Lun appeared calm on the surface, but as he read more and more posts, the pressure in his heart grew.
"Everyone, I'm afraid now is not the time for idle chat... This disaster is likely to affect Amber City, so please make plans."
He raised his head and said in a deep voice.
Everyone heard Chen Lun's subtext and stood up.
"Mr. Maledice, and little Rui...you might as well stay at my manor first. Mr. Jack should have more important things to do, so let's not disturb him here."
Pompey, with his extremely high emotional intelligence, immediately understood what Chen Lun meant and said to everyone.
"Well, this is the only way for now..."
Malediz was in a very complicated mood and forced a smile on his face.
"Mr. Jack, excuse me. When this matter is over, if there is another chance, I will come to visit you again..."
"You're welcome anytime."
Chen Lun gave a polite smile.
He personally escorted everyone to the gate of the manor, watched the Pompeii family, Maledice and others get on the carriage, and watched them leave.
After letting out a long sigh.
Chen Lun turned around and went back to the villa and immediately called all members of the team together.
"Mr. Captain, are we setting off now?"
Golov spoke up.
Chen Lun looked at Floy, Noah, Golov, Patton, Morey and Connie and was silent for a few seconds.
"Yes, leave Amber City."
He looked around, as if trying to keep this manor where he had lived for more than a year in his mind.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go out for a while."
Chen Lun said.
The members nodded in agreement without asking any further questions.
But Chen Lun thought about it and explained to them:
"Yellow Iron City has been destroyed by the Red Apple Church. The one who did it was Archbishop Rafa. If we leave in a carriage, I'm afraid we'll encounter unnecessary accidents along the way... So I'll use another back-up plan, the long-distance portal, but I still need to place the door at the end myself."
The other members were shocked when they heard the news.
Morey is still frightened.
How bad would the situation be if he still stayed in Huangtie City now!
"Mr. Captain, please be careful!"
Morey said respectfully.
Noah, Golov, and Patton all had expressions of concern on their faces.
What Mr. Jack said made them believe it without a doubt. Although they didn't know what the "portal" was, since it was the leader's plan, it must be more secure.
Floy took a step forward and said softly in a disembodied voice:
"We'll be waiting here for you."
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Chen Lun said this with a smile, then turned around and stepped into the spiritual world.
…
…
…
Chen Lun traveled quickly through the spiritual world.
He was heading towards another city-state.
Adjacent to the Gem State are the Flower State and the Rock State.
According to his original plan, one of the team's future destinations was an inconspicuous small city in Yanbang, the Bronze City Peacock City.
This is also the "hometown" that Chen Lun once made up.
In his impression, the Bronze City in his previous life was not affected too much by the Red Disaster, and there were still several opportunities hidden there that had yet to be discovered.
According to the timeline, opportunities that will only be discovered by players in future versions, if you go there in advance and grab them, perhaps you can help yourself become stronger.
I didn’t go there before because the journey was too long and I didn’t have enough strength. Now that I want to leave here, I might as well go to Peacock City.
Chen Lun purchased the spiritual coordinates of Peacock City from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce in advance, spending dozens of gold pounds, but it was worth it.
'It will take about 20 minutes to reach Peacock City. Activate the Spiritual Realm Stone in the present world of Peacock City, then return to the manor and go through the portal with your team members.'
He thought to himself and quickened his pace.
In fact, Chen Lun could also bring everyone in the circus into the spirit world, but when traveling through the spirit world, he had no time to take care of other things, and it was very likely that others would get lost in the spirit world in the process.
This is extremely dangerous.
Therefore, the spiritual world passage formed by two spiritual world stones is the best choice.
Chen Lun suddenly felt a warning from his spiritual intuition.
The warning became stronger and stronger, forcing him to stop.
"What's going on? Is there any danger ahead...?"
Chen Lun frowned, looking at the blurry and distorted light blue vision around him.
"No... the feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger. Even if I stop, it doesn't subside... it's a danger from another direction!"
He thought for a moment and decided to look for clues from the players.
There are a large number of players distributed all over the world, and there is also the game forum as a communication platform. In Chen Lun's view, they are an extremely outstanding group of "eyes and ears".
Chen Lun can learn about major events happening around the world through players.
Concentrating his mind on the lakeside cottage in Wonderland, he saw Dongyang and others sitting on the lawn and chatting. The topic was all about the destruction of Huangtie City and Archbishop Rafa of the Red Apple Church.
"That madman has destroyed a city and started wreaking havoc in the surrounding area... Do you think he will come to kill us?"
Goutoujin curled his lips.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be characters in the plot to deal with this kind of big boss."
Dongyang shrugged and smiled:
"Just like our Mr. Jack, didn't he fight this guy and save Amber City?"
"No! The boss is definitely coming towards us!"
Polaris seemed to be distracted before, but after coming back to his senses, he spoke in a deep voice to everyone.
"Um?!"
Others were very puzzled.
"What's the meaning?"
"You can find out by looking at the game forums."
North Star said.
Seeing this, Chen Lun, who was in the spirit world, also opened the game forum. He looked through the posts with a sullen face. The news of the destruction of Huangtie City had already spread, and the surrounding towns and villages were also beginning to be affected, but there was nothing particularly noteworthy.
Sudden.
His eyes narrowed.
From the posts published by these players, Chen Lun discovered a blind spot of information.
Those towns and villages were affected, and they were spreading towards Amber City!
'Rafa is heading towards Amber City...Everywhere he passes, there is ruins, destroyed by him at will.'
These words popped up in Chen Lun’s mind.
He even had a vague intuition.
Rafa is coming for me!
Putting aside the fact that the Red Apple Church had an unrelenting grudge against him, he had personally sabotaged Rafa's plan just a year and a half ago.
It's not surprising that the other party would come to cause trouble for me.
"It should still be in time to go to Peacock City... But even if I leave, Rafa will not let Amber City go. With the official power of Amber City, it will definitely not be able to stop this guy... By then, Amber City will probably become a dead city like Pyrite City!"
Chen Lun's face was gloomy.
He began to think about what choice he should make.
