Chapter 213 Floy’s true identity (please vote!)
Chen Lun followed Siebert to the office.
The layout and decoration of the rooms here are completely different from those he had seen before. Siebert seems to prefer a free and uninhibited style, so that the walls are covered with wallpapers of various colors, and it does not look like a boss's room. , more like an artist's studio.
Siebert put the wine glass on the boss's table, then enthusiastically took out the red wine from the large retro freezer, and was about to pour Chen Lun a glass as well.
"Mr. Siebert, no need...I don't like drinking."
Chen Lun smiled.
The other party was stunned for a moment, then shrugged helplessly, said okay, and only filled up his own glass.
"Mr. Jack, you really don't know how to enjoy it. I have treasured this good wine for many years."
Siebert muttered to himself, took a sip of pleasure, then took out a cardboard box from under the table, opened the paper cover, and took out a fist-sized sculpture.
It was a sculpture in the shape of an orchid. It was not painted and looked gray.
"Here, that's all there is... nothing else special."
Siebert was a little curious.
"What are you doing looking for Mr. Charles's belongings?"
Chen Lun smiled and did not answer. He was too lazy to make up some lies to deceive, so he directly used [Siren Song] to perform a simple hypnosis on Siebert, so that the other party would divert his attention and no longer be curious about this question.
As the shimmer of the shell necklace flashed by, Sibert suddenly raised his eyebrows, and immediately chatted with Chen Lun about other topics, such as interesting things in the aristocratic circle, the lady of this family fell in love with the male servant, and the young lady of that family had a relationship with the drama theater. Actors elope and more.
Chen Lun chatted with Sibert for a while and saw that he was drunk and seemed tired, so he said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, Siebert also hoped that Chen Lun would come to the club often when he was free. He admired Chen Lun's swordsmanship very much.
Chen Lun said a few polite words and nodded in agreement.
Finally, Siebert fell asleep on the sofa, still muttering:
"Damn Pompeii...you were wrong..."
Chen Lun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Siebert knew Viscount Pompeii, but he was not curious about the relationship between the two people. He shook his head and turned to leave.

Back to Jack Manor.
Unlike Chen Lun's expectation, Floy did not rest upstairs, but stood quietly at the door of the villa.
She was like a motionless doll, silently waiting for Chen Lun to come home.
"You are back."
A smile appeared on Floy's face.
"Don't worry, I'm fine..."
Chen Lun said comfortingly.
"Go and tell the others too, so that they don't worry about me."
Floy hummed, nodded, and turned to leave.
Chen Lun did not follow him in, but turned around and walked into the backyard, sat on the swing, and took out the orchid statue. When he touched it in his office, he had already concluded that it was what he was looking for.
【Token - Orchid Statue】
Item Description: The token left by Black Knight Byers can only be activated using a specific method, and the holder will be guided into a secret place in the spiritual world.
‘Why does Byers know that I will get this relic...? ’
Chen Lun pondered for a moment and thought of the most likely answer.
'No, he didn't know... It should be said that he didn't care. He just left a token and gave me the choice. ’
This means that the initiative lies with Chen Lun, and it is up to him to decide whether to have further contact with Byers.
Chen Lun played with the statue for a while, and finally tried to cover it with extraordinary power.
But the statue didn't respond.
He thought for a moment, then stretched out a finger, using it as a sword, charging up the energy of the Moonlight Sword. This technique is not difficult for Chen Lun, after all, [Biles Moonlight Sword] has already reached the full level.
But most people don't dare to do this, because their fingers are very likely to be unable to withstand the force and collapse. It's just that his fingers were covered with a layer of Didak's armor in advance, and they were unscathed under the distorted light of lavender.
His fingers gently approached the statue, and the orchid suddenly seemed to come alive, dyed purple, and then swayed gently.
boom!
Chen Lun was engulfed by a dazzling flash of light activated by the orchid. The swing in the courtyard was empty, swaying alone and making a creaking sound.
The next second.
When Chen Lun opened his eyes again, he found that he was already in the spirit world, his surroundings were blurry, and his light blue vision was slightly squirming.
This place seems to be a cemetery, with countless tombstones stuck on the ground. On the top of each tombstone, there are some different small objects, such as miniature swords, helmets, horses, and metal ornaments such as the waning moon.
This place is obviously different from the real world, and also different from other areas in the spiritual world.
Under the dark night, there is a lavender full moon.
Under the moon is the highest hill of the cemetery. There is a tombstone that is higher than the door panel. A knight wearing a wolf helmet and tattered black armor is sitting under the tombstone.
He also held a long black sword in his arms.
"You're here anyway, Jack."
A low laugh came from the Black Knight's helmet.
Chen Lun walked up to him.
"Mr. Byers, are you leaving Amber City?"
"Yeah."
The Black Knight lowered his head.
"The roundup will start again soon, I need to concentrate on dealing with it..."
He paused for a few seconds and continued:
"Are you sure you want to get involved in this matter? You know, I am now an A-level wanted criminal in the empire... This muddy water is likely to get you muddy too."
Chen Lun's expression remained as usual. He knew the pros and cons of this matter very well.
He clearly knew the identity of the Black Knight and also knew that the opponent was powerful. From the beginning, he approached the opponent with the intention of "hugging his thighs." But later on, they became closer with each other, and even learned sword skills from the Black Knight.
The relationship between the two can be said to be both teachers and friends.
But what really prompted Chen Lun to choose to help the other party was the general trend of the future!
The turmoil in the empire begins, and the Red Apple Church will wreak havoc. Chen Lun needs more strength to survive better in this chaotic prelude... At the same time, his circus companions also need more time to grow.
The Black Knight is a very good candidate who can help him at specific times and "protect" the team.
As for the disadvantages, of course, they would offend the church and even be wanted...but these would be nothing in the future situation.
Because Chen Lun knew very well that starting from the 1.0 version of the main plot, the conflicts that had accumulated in the empire for thousands of years would gradually break out, and the rule would be unstable. The Church of the Sun and the Asylum had too many distractions to take care of.
"Mr. Byers, I want to ask you a question."
Chen Lun leaned on a tombstone nearby, turned to look at the black knight and said.
"Huh? Just tell me."
The Black Knight had a good impression of him and seemed very patient.
"What on earth is your relationship with Floy?"
Chen Lun asked the question that had been pressing in his heart for a long time.
This question arose when he first came into contact with the Black Knight. The original divination and the other party's words made Chen Lun associate Floy with the Wolf family.
"She...is the last descendant of the wolf family."
The Black Knight was silent for a moment and then spoke.
"The Wolfe family has deep roots... stretching back to a previous era."
Chen Lun's eyes narrowed, he didn't expect Floy to have such a background.
As a dramatist in his previous life, of course he had studied world history. As far as he knew, the current era should belong to the fifth era, also known as the Solar Era, or the Orderly Era.
Because the opening of the Fifth Era was precisely because of the establishment of the largest empire on the continent, the Trisur Empire. With the surrender of the three major affiliated kingdoms, the Sun Continent was relatively unified.
The solar calendar year 4419 also means that the Fifth Era has gone through more than 4,000 years.
The previous era, the Fourth Era, is called the "Lost Era" because most of the records about that era have been lost and cannot be studied.
As for the earlier history, Chen Lun did not find any valuable information in his previous life. Most of them were fairy tales and unknown true or false legends, as if there was a big invisible hand deliberately covering up the dust of the past.
"At the end of the Fourth Era, humans only had one civilization called 'Yanita'. The continent at that time was not called the Sun Continent, but the 'Yanita Continent'.
But later, due to some unknown reasons, the Yanita civilization began to decline... Even the largest ruling class at the time had internal strife, and eventually split into three powerful families, namely Cuisul, Matthew and Silber. ”
The black knight came to Chen Lun and told the history of the past.
"The root of our Wolf family is the Matthew family... But as time goes by, the Matthew family has long been submerged in the long river of history, leaving only dozens or hundreds of different descendant groups. The Wolf family is now It’s one of them.”
The Black Knight shook his head.
"It seems to be a leftover curse. The members of the Wolf family often don't live long...so that in the past hundred years they have completely declined, and are even on the verge of disappearing.
I originally thought that I was the last remaining descendant of my family, but more than half a year ago, I suddenly felt a mysterious connection in my bloodline... I followed the guidance and found Amber City, and made an exciting discovery! ”
He raised his head. There was a shadow under the wolf helmet, and his invisible eyes stared directly at Chen Lun.
"The girl next to you has the blood of the wolf family flowing in her body. Her real name should be 'Floy Wolf'! She is the last descendant of the wolf family besides me!
And she still has the aura of her ancestors... If I guessed correctly, the original body of that strange object should be the family's former saint, Athena Wolfe. ”
Surprise flashed in Chen Lun's eyes, he didn't expect that there was such a truth hidden in it.
The false identity I randomly made up for Floy turned out to be her real name, and she should indeed be a declining aristocratic lady? !
‘Is this also the guidance of fate...? ’
He was stunned.
‘It’s no wonder that [Sun-Back Potted Plant] established a deep bond with Floy. It turns out that it was the reincarnation of the Saint of the Wolf Family after his death! ’
It can be seen from this that the poor family where Floy grew up was not her family of origin.
"According to seniority, Floy should call me uncle."
The Wolf Knight's hoarse voice smiled.
