The development of events was just as Chen Lun predicted.
After the Peacock City History and Ritual Association suffered a severe blow, it immediately ceased its activities, stopped all its external activities, and became extremely low-key and introverted.
The sudden attack by the bishop of the Red Apple Church directly led to the death of the president of this branch and the martyrdom of many extraordinary members. It cannot be said that the losses were heavy, but it can only be said that they lost everything.
The biggest problem is that no one knows how the bishop suddenly appeared in the resident building, and he was like a mad dog, killing anyone he saw. It was inexplicable and extremely bizarre. In order to suppress him, the asylum and the Madman School did not dare to hold back, and finally had to kill him. This problem has become an unsolved mystery.
In the front, there was Vice-President Osmond, who led his team to encounter the Spade Knight and was tragically wiped out. In the back, there was President Pearson, who was sitting in the station when the bishop came from the sky and died extremely unjustly.
The entire History and Ritual Association seemed to be shrouded in terrible bad luck.
The biggest beneficiary of this accident was the Simon family.
The History and Ritual Association finally had no time to suppress them anymore, and the Simon family's various industries resumed normal operations. The City Garden Theater reopened, and the decadence and frustration on Hoyle's face disappeared, and he smiled again.
This day.
Hoyle took a horse-drawn carriage to visit Jack Winery.
"Mr. Jack! Good news! City Garden Theater is open again! Haha!"
Hoyle happily hugged Chen Lun, and then said excitedly:
"It's just as you said. Everything is fine now! I don't know what happened to the History and Ritual Association. Even the resident building collapsed. Now they are in no mood to target the Simon family."
Chen Lun kept a smile on his face and invited Hoyle to sit in the living room of the main villa.
“It’s good news indeed.”
Chen Lun made a cup of tea for Hoyle and spoke casually.
"I heard that the History and Ritual Association will soon evacuate Peacock City, and another Orthodox Church will take over."
"Yes, my father has already confirmed it. Next month, the Hailing Group will come to take over and replace the History and Ritual Association to take over Peacock City."
Hoyle took the teacup, thanked him and said with a smile.
"In this way, our Simon family doesn't have to relocate as a family. I don't know how much loss we can save."
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when good things happen to them, and that is exactly the case with Hoyle's current state.
Once he started talking, he didn't stop and kept chattering, telling Chen Lun what had happened in the past two days.
Hoyle said that his father, Don Mansimon, was physically and mentally exhausted during this period, and seemed to have seen through many things because of the disaster the family had suffered. He decided to abdicate and hand over the helm of the family to his heirs.
However, Don Mann has five sons and two daughters. Among them, Hoyle's two elder brothers, Gadson and Lance, have suffered mental breakdowns and are now less intelligent than a child. They are recuperating at home and are hated by everyone. The other sons and daughters also complained about their father's wrongdoings in this incident, which made him feel annoyed.
Only Hoyle, who always supported his father and ran the City Garden Theatre, was the best among all his brothers and sisters.
So, Hoyle told Chen Lun that he was about to become the next helmsman of the Simon family.
"Mr. Jack, I actually never thought that my father would hand over the family business to me..."
He shook his head, seeming to feel a little emotional.
Immediately, he took out two more things and placed them solemnly on the table.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Jack. If it weren't for you, the City Garden Theater would not have been revived and even became the most popular theater in Peacock City... This is the collection I asked for from my father, and I'm giving it to you as a gift."
He laughed.
"These days, my father always looks sad. The only time he smiles is when he talks about the City Garden Theatre... I guess that's why my father readily gave me his collection."
"Thanks."
Chen Lun responded with a smile and took the two things in his hands.
They are a fragment of a stone tablet and an ancient book.
It is another fragment of the "Monument of Destiny" and the last volume of "Carmen's Notes"!
'I was just trying to help Hoyle, but I didn't expect that this would earn him the approval of Don Mann, who gave him the remaining treasures... Destiny is really like a circle.'
Chen Lun sighed secretly.
'The collection of Carmen's Notebooks is now complete.'
Things went much more smoothly than expected, and he was pleasantly surprised by the results.
Hoyle had just taken over the family business and had a lot of things to do, so he did not stay in Jack Winery for long. After the two chatted for a while, he said goodbye and left.
Chen Lun sent him to the gate until Hoyle got on the carriage and drove away.
Turning back to the villa, he immediately checked two things.
There are already two fragments of the Monument of Destiny, but it is still a long way from being restored. Chen Lun doesn't know how many pieces it is broken into, so he can only preserve it for the time being.
As for the third volume of "Carmen's Notes", after reading it, Chen Lun once again absorbed a lot of basic knowledge about magic, as well as Carmen's unconventional insights.
The content recorded in this volume of notes is the knowledge about "enchantment".
Kamen stressed that anything could be enchanted, a view that was in stark contrast to the Mad Men school, which held that only specially crafted wands or weapons could do so, but which was in fact a mere formalism.
In Carmen's opinion, not only physical objects, but even the simplest acid spell can be enchanted to increase its power or characteristics, but the cost-effectiveness of doing so is not high.
Chen Lun had been sitting on the sofa flipping through the notebook. During this time, Floy prepared lunch, but seeing that he was so engrossed, she did not disturb him. She just silently left the food for him and kept it warm.
Around 3:30 in the afternoon.
Chen Lun suddenly felt something, and then a prompt box appeared on the panel -
[You have read carefully, learned and understood the skill "Magic Flying Cards"! ]
【Magic Flying Card LV1】
Skill Description: You have spent a long time trekking on the path of destiny, and have a very thorough understanding of [Magician], and have mastered various magics to perfection. After in-depth research on magic, you have gained some insights from the knowledge of "enchantment", and tried to integrate it with the magic of "card throwing knife", creating this new ability.
Skill Effect: You have mastered the power to enchant playing cards and distinguish them into four different suits:
Spade flying cards, sharp enchantment, enhanced cutting ability.
Club flying cards, adhesive enchantment, amplified control ability.
Heart flying cards, healing enchantment, increased recovery ability.
Spade flying cards, energy enchantment, amplified explosive power.
"What a powerful skill..."
Chen Lun stared at the skill description and sighed.
The appearance of "Magic Flying Cards" can be said to have greatly enhanced his long-range combat capabilities, and it looks very comprehensive!
It has single-point attack, area damage, restriction and self-healing. This skill can even be split into four skills .
Chen Lun was secretly delighted and took out his only remaining 4 skill points to upgrade it.
But he soon discovered that "Magic Flying Card" could no longer be used after it reached level 3, because it required 2 skill points for each level up.
"As expected, this skill requires more skill points..."
Chen Lun had no choice but to use up most of his stored experience points, upgraded his main profession by 4 levels, gained 4 skill points and attribute points, and only then was he able to upgrade the "Magic Flying Card" to the maximum.
At the same time, his main occupation also became [Sequence 6 - Aerial Trapeze LV30]!
"There are only 10 more levels to reach the maximum level."
Chen Lun thought.
He then finished reading the third volume of "Carmen's Notes", and also at the end, he found some fragments of words left by Carmen.
This time it was not a poem praising teacher Fredetri, but a request.
"——Reader, if you have benefited a lot from my notes, then please do me a favor. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to... If possible, please help me convey the poem to my teacher, Fredetri, as my final farewell."
Carmen also said that there is a wizard tower at the top of the Augusta Mountains outside the Coleridge Forest in the extreme north of the Trisur Empire, on the border with the Kingdom of Byron.
Teacher Frederick has been living there ever since.
[Trigger A-level mission: Love Letter Messenger! ]
Task Description: You saw a message from the magician Carmen in "Carmen's Notes". He asked you to help convey the content of the poem to his teacher Frederic .
"I have never disobeyed your teachings and have always been pursuing knowledge... or rather, it is knowledge that is pursuing me. However, there has never been a day when I have not missed you."
Mission objective: successfully reach the Meteor Mage Tower and deliver the poem to Frederic. (Note: the current mission is somewhat dangerous!)
Mission rewards: 100,000 experience points, 100 gold pounds, Carmen's favorability and Fredetri's favorability, and unknown rewards.
'Running errands?'
Chen Lun stroked his chin and accepted the task.
'For a [Flying Man], delivering letters is not a difficult task. I can fly through the clouds and reach my destination quickly... But the Meteor Mage Tower where Carmen's teacher Frederic is located is located on the northern border of the empire. It is not safe there, and the journey is long. I need to rest several times along the way.'
He thought about it and decided not to do this task for the time being. There was no time limit anyway, so he could talk about it later.
At the same time, Chen Lun also got a glimpse of some detailed information from the task description.
For example, Carmen’s nickname is “He”, which means that this magician is indeed a high-level extraordinary being, or at the very least a Sequence 4 Magic Saint, and His teacher, Fredetri, is very likely a being of a higher sequence.
"It is still dangerous to rashly meet such a strange and high-ranking person. I will wait until I am stronger."
Chen Lun thought.
