Chapter 244 Speed up
A few more days passed.
During this period of time, the second batch of extraordinary materials from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce has been delivered, and at the same time, circus players have also completed their tasks and come to request upgrade tokens.
Chen Lun was busy brewing wine while helping players upgrade the Silver Snake Ring.
Life is quite fulfilling.
On this day, he suddenly received a letter from the shelter.
The messenger is not an ordinary investigator, but the current manager of the Amber City Asylum, Special Commissioner Ralph.
Chen Lun was surprised when he got the news. He originally thought that his anonymous "snitching" was exposed, but after Relf's introduction, he found out that the other party was here to convey an important message.
Jack Manor.
Villa living room.
At this time, there were only two people here, Ralph and Chen Lun.
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 talked about Chen Lun's "resume", including his initial escape from the Red Apple Church in Emerald Town, burning down the local church, and then his subsequent arrival in Amber City, where he experienced a series of experiences such as the Gallery Incident and the Battle of the Square.
Chen Lun was also a little surprised to see Ralph keeping his deeds in his heart.
"Mona has praised you to me more than once, saying that you are a just and kind-hearted extraordinary person in the wild, but I didn't think so at first... until this time, you exposed the Red Apple Church's planning of the plague. ”
Ralph stood up, stroking his chest and saluting solemnly.
"On behalf of the asylum, I salute you, Mr. Jack."
"It's just a matter of effort, Mr. Ralph, it doesn't have to be this way."
Chen Lun smiled and waved his hand, motioning for Ralph to sit down.
"After all, I also live in this land and have witnessed many innocent people devastated by the plague... This is a disaster caused by extraordinary power. Naturally, I will not stand by and watch."
"Alas..."
Ralph looked a little touched.
"You are a humble man with a noble personality. I have had many prejudices against you in the past...I hereby apologize to you."
"Prejudice is human nature. Don't we drink tea and chat like friends now?"
Chen Lun continued to refill Ralph's tea cup with a nonchalant look on his face.
Ralph smiled and nodded.
"Thank you...Mr. Jack, I came to visit in person this time. In fact, I was entrusted by Mona..."
"Huh?"
Chen Lun was a little confused.
Ralph sighed and told Chen Lun that Meng Na was transferred out of Amber City and went to Sunflower City because of some things.
At the same time, he also briefly explained his relationship with Mona and the fact that their common teacher "Rudolf Teka" was actually "Howard the Tragedy Writer."
"Now that Howard has been listed as an 'Empire S-class criminal', the senior management is still investigating his purpose of lurking in the asylum for many years, and are always vigilant... But Mona has also been deeply hit. She seems to have become a different person recently. 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 got up and left.
Chen Lun sent him to the gate of the manor.
After Ralph walked away, he stopped and looked back at Chen Lun, who had disappeared from his sight. He sighed secretly.
"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 her letter.
She said that due to the recent unrest caused by the Red Apple Church, the Church of the Sun will send Archbishop Terrence, one of the twelve bishops of the Sun Monastery, to personally go to Fossil City to take charge of the situation to ensure the stability of the entire Gem State.
Tragedian Howard has been hiding in the Fossil City Asylum all these years, but has been doing a great job in his role as Judge Adjudicator, disguised as Rudolf Teka.
If He had not been exposed, he would even be able to sit in a higher position in the asylum in the future, such as serving as a senior executive at the headquarters of the Royal City Asylum, or as one of the nine chief judges of the Imperial Tribunal, etc.
Therefore, after He defected, it was difficult to find a suitable candidate for the vacant position of Chief Judge of the Fossil City Asylum. The higher authorities had no choice but to send a junior correspondent to take over temporarily.
But in this case, 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.
He is not only cold, but also very powerful. When the time comes to liquidate the Red Apple Church in Gemstone State, he will probably also investigate the reason for the disappearance of the "Lamp Keeper Team" a while ago.
Mona already knows that the "Lampkeeper Team" seems to have been to Jack's Manor.
That's why she wrote a letter to remind Chen Lun.
Regardless of whether there is evidence that the disappearance of the "Lamp Keeper Team" is related to Chen Lun, the final result will definitely not be good.
This is the conclusion that Mona came to based on past history.
After Chen Lun finished reading the letter, he snapped his fingers, and the flames from his right hand burned the letter.
He leaned back on the sofa, feeling that the pressure in his heart became a little heavier.
'I didn't expect it to move so fast...'
Chen Lun sighed with emotion.
He is well aware of the power of the Church of the Sun, and even more clearly what the twelve bishops of the Lieyang Monastery represent.
This is a high-ranking person at the saint level, and he is the best in the same sequence.
The reason why the Sun Royal Family has been able to rule the empire for so many years is largely due to the power of the Sun Church.
Not only are they excellent at extraordinary forging, they possess "high-end man-made artifacts" that other forces do not possess, but they also have extraordinary incarnation advantages.
The incarnations of high-ranking people in the Sun Path are numerous and not weak in strength. They are better at suppressing vast territories and maintaining order than other sequence paths.
‘There is also the ‘Daytime Obelisk’… In the previous life, in the middle and late version of version 1.0 or even version 2.0, this extraordinary building shined brightly and was also the most proud masterpiece of the Church of the Sun. The arrival of Terrence is likely to bring this kind of building core with it and raise it from the ground in a very short period of time. ’
Chen Lun was agitated.
‘By then, His incarnation will have a wider scope of action. If he comes to trouble me along the way, I’m afraid he won’t be able to escape...’
He rubbed his temples.
Another thing came to mind.
The United Kingdom of Anlong declared war on the Trisur Empire, something that had never happened before.
In the previous life, the empire unilaterally imposed military sanctions on the Anlong United Kingdom, and then sounded the clarion call for war... Although the outcome of the war was the same, the process was completely different.
Chen Lun attributed the reason to the butterfly effect caused by himself.
'My various actions have prompted the Red Apple Church to be exposed in advance. They are very likely to have some deep connection with the Anlong United Kingdom, so that they can cause the kingdom to declare war and involve the empire's energy to launch an attack on the east and the west.
This will ensure that the turmoil in the Red Apple Church can last longer, which will help them accomplish their ulterior purpose. ’
Chen Lun thought seriously.
Then he sighed and realized that he had changed many fates without even realizing it.
‘Including Mona, she never had a drastic change in temperament in her previous life... Is it because Howard, in his previous life, has been hiding in the asylum and not been exposed? ’
The more he thought about it, the more headache he felt.
All kinds of turbulent thoughts made him feel that the future was becoming more and more confusing.
"Speed up a little more, advance to Sequence 6 as soon as possible, and then leave Amber City with the team!"
Chen Lun's eyes were firm and he directly called out "Philip in Wonderland".
"Without further delay, go to Wonderland now to find the six pieces of extraordinary knowledge!"

Phosphorus City.
Suburbs.
Two figures, one tall and one short, walked between the villages.
As the villagers watched them pass by, they stopped what they were doing and knelt down respectfully, muttering a thousand thanks.
But the two men were indifferent to the actions of the villagers.
"Teacher, it turns out that the extraordinary diseases in the villages around Amber City were caused by you... No wonder, at that time, I thought it was a wonderful idea. Use diseases to fight diseases, and then let the plague gradually disappear in the human body, and it can also produce a certain ”
Maggie said excitedly.
Akbin, who was wearing a crow mask, shook his head slightly.
"This is actually a very risky attempt. If it fails, not only will those people not be cured, but they will die violently due to the extraordinary disease imposed... If the cure fails, it will become a massacre."
He stopped, looked at the peaceful villages around him, and said calmly:
"This is just a ritual arranged for my personal selfishness for promotion. This plague is a disaster for ordinary people, but for the few extraordinary people like us, it is a rare opportunity. ”
"Actually, I know, teacher, you still want to save them...and if the teacher hadn't taken action in time, by the time the officials came to rescue, all those villagers would have been dead!
It's me, I will do the same, I would rather make a mistake than do nothing! ”
Maggie chuckled.
"Judging from the results, this is indeed a good thing. It not only saves the villagers, but also completes the sequence promotion... I hope that in the future, this world will eventually be free of illness."
"A great ideal, but also a stupid ideal."
Akbin made his judgment and was 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 [Plague Doctor]? I can tell you clearly that this road is a dead end... Not only is there no God at the end of the road, not even angels exist."
"I don't care."
Maggie said indifferently.
"I just want to practice my ideas, even if I fail."
Akbin turned to look at her.
The thick glass of the crow mask reflected sunlight, making it difficult to see the eyes underneath.
"Well... But you have to know that even if you become a doctor, you must learn to kill people, because this is the world. 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 cannot only act as a logistics person forever. The journey is long and there will be various accidents. ”
Maggie heard Akbin's words and nodded heavily in agreement.
"I know, teacher. In fact, I was expelled from the Nature Sect because I was studying various poisons... Of course, this is just what the forest elders said. In my opinion, as long as it can save people, even if it is poison, it doesn't matter. ”
Akbin smiled for the first time.
His voice was low, with a hint of joy.
"It seems that you are indeed suitable for this path, Maggie."
Akbin thought for a while and took out a glass jar, in which a dog embryo was soaked in yellow-brown liquid.
Maggie looked at it curiously.
"In this case, let me teach you how to cultivate a 'sick dog'... This is one of my personal research results, which can provide some strong protection for weak doctors like us.
I hope this knowledge can be in your hands and lead to better changes. ”
"Yes! Teacher!"

wonderland.
Haze Plains.
Gray and black fog filled the air, and visibility was extremely low.
Boo hoo hoo...!
Several subtle cracks in the air sounded.
The cards disappeared into the mist.
Chen Lun held the black hat and walked forward slowly. After walking for about tens of meters, he saw four ragged humanoids lying crookedly on the ground.
They are the unique polluted creatures of the Haze Plains, the moonless people.
Just now, based on spiritual intuition and divination, Chen Lun detected the small wave of monsters in front of him and popped out the cards. Before they could transform into werewolves, they were killed by cards flying from the dark.
The ground was covered with black and red filthy blood. The heads of the four moonless people were severed by playing cards and rolled to the side. Their ugly faces had wide eyes.
He seemed shocked by the sudden death.
Chen Lun fiddled with the silver cane a few times and knocked down the homemade spears they were holding tightly in their hands. Then he bent down and disassembled the spearhead composed of black crystal "Dragon Sharp Stone" and put it into the blood poem ring.
Soon, these corpses disintegrated into fine particles, sank to the ground and disappeared.
‘According to the information revealed to me by Her Majesty Maggie, not far ahead is the location of the second wooden house in the Haze Plains area. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
Before that, he had successfully found the first wooden house that contained the extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 6 - Trapeze]. After a battle, he killed the polluting creatures guarding the wooden house.
But it was a pity that the extraordinary knowledge in that wooden house overlapped with a quarter of what Chen Lun already had on hand, so the trip was in vain.
‘But that’s okay…the next five wooden houses will never be repeated again. ’
Chen Lun comforted himself silently.
He strode forward and continued walking for about ten minutes, when his spiritual intuition soon gave him a new warning.
Hua Hua...
A stack of poker cards suddenly appeared in his hand, and various afterimages appeared as his hands shuffled the cards.
Two of them popped up on their own and then floated in mid-air.
A "10 of spades" and a "2 of spades".
‘Are they at ten o’clock and two o’clock respectively...’
Chen Lun had a thought.
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 and turned around while holding the black hat.
The large black windbreaker was lifted up, and his figure disappeared from the spot, replaced by a blood-stained playing card.
boom!
In front of the wooden house, a four-meter-tall brown werewolf suddenly turned its head, the silver light and shadow suddenly dropped, and with a muffled sound, the cane hit the side of its neck hard.
Ouch!
The werewolf staggered and was knocked dizzy by the heavy blow.
Chen Lun didn't stop. After landing, he swung the silver cane and turned it into the form of a snake sword. At the same time, the brown glove on his right hand spurted extraordinary flames and poured them into the sword body.
Whoosh——
The winding fire snake was like a curved orange horse, suddenly landing on the werewolf's chest.
Poof!
The giant brown werewolf had a deep gash from his left shoulder to his right waist, and the skin and flesh were opened, exposing his 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 rushed from behind Chen Lun.
It opened its huge mouth full of saliva, and waved its sharp claws, trying to tear the short humanoid creature in front of it into pieces!
‘Normal state! ’
Chen Lun's sleeves were torn, and eight thick white pythons popped out of his back, like blooming flowers. The black werewolf was caught in the middle of the air by the eight white pythons, unable to move.
It was lifted high, and while struggling, it didn't forget to roar.
But this is in vain.
The eight white pythons were like ropes that were gradually tightened, making a creaking and rubbing sound as they twisted.
The black werewolf's eyeballs protrude and are bloodshot.
Woo-boom!
Chen Lun bent down, and the eight white pythons behind him slammed it to the ground. The soles of his feet felt a slight tremor on the ground, which showed the force of the blow.
The brown werewolf endured the sword wounds on his chest and abdomen, roared and bit at him very fast.
Clang! Clang!
Chen Lun waved the snake sword in his hand and struck it with its sharp claws.
"Go to hell!"
He looked hard.
The snake sword in his hand was swung faster and faster, and at the same time, the eight giant pythons behind him began to hit the black werewolf on the ground continuously, like an overwhelming white fist shadow.
Chen Lun waved his sword in front of him, and the white python "punched" on his back, fighting one against two.
Clang, clang, clang...!
Bang bang bang...!
There was a dense, crisp attack, mixed with a muffled crackling sound.
The snake sword in Chen Lun's hand suddenly extended and spun in mid-air, directly cutting off the head of the brown werewolf in front of him.
Pfft——!
The blood fountain gushes out, and along with the burning of extraordinary flames, it turns into foul-smelling white smoke.
The snake sword was retracted with a hiss, and Chen Lun turned around and shook off the blood on the sword. At the same time, the eight white pythons behind him intertwined into a spiral "giant hammer" and slammed down.
Boom! !
The head and neck of the black werewolf were directly smashed into a puddle of mud.
Clang!
Sparks flew out.
Chen Lun had already put the black hat on his head, gently holding the silver cane in his hand, and stood quietly.
In front and behind the body, two giant werewolf corpses lay slumped.
[Kill the polluting creature "the stray moonless mob" and get 12,000 experience points! 】*2
‘Well…it’s a relatively powerful pollution creature. ’
Chen Lun groaned.
After waiting for a moment, after the two werewolf corpses disappeared, he bent down and picked up the extraordinary materials left behind, a palm-sized wolf tooth and a bunch of brown wolf fur.
In addition, there is a gray glass bead.
‘This is a mysterious substance from a conspiracy faction...? ’
Chen Lun thought this was an unexpected surprise, but he was also a little confused.
‘Could it be that the polluted creatures in the Haze Plain contain the power of conspiracy? ’
He put aside the questions in his mind, walked straight forward, and pushed open the door of the wooden house.
Unlock a wooden house again and put him in a good mood.
As usual, after Chen Lun briefly glanced inside the wooden house, he went directly to the table and searched it.
Soon, he found the extraordinary knowledge that Philip had left here.
【Discover extraordinary knowledge! Destiny Faction Sequence 6-Trapeze (1/6)! 】
Chen Lun looked delighted and put away the torn-out page.
‘Very good… Let’s go to the next wooden house and try to get the third piece of Sequence 6 extraordinary knowledge in the next two days! ’ Dear beauties, there is a double monthly ticket event on the last three days of this month!
The monthly votes in your hands can be voted to Carrot then!
