Chapter 270 Dilemma (please vote!)
The group of people came to the living room on the first floor of the manor villa.
After Chen Lun arranged for everyone to sit down on the sofa, Floy went to the kitchen to make tea for the guests.
She carried the tray to the living room and personally put sugar and stirred it for the two young girls. Nobles all like black tea with sugar, the sweeter the better.
"That's so thoughtful...Thank you, Miss Floy."
Rebecca showed a sweet smile and said politely.
She also glanced at Rey and smiled proudly to express that she was familiar with Mr. Jack. Rui pouted, and after taking the teacup, he also thanked Floy.
But when the two drank the black tea, their expressions changed slightly and they almost spit out the tea in their mouths.
Fortunately, the two of them always paid attention to their ladylike appearance, endured the discomfort, swallowed the tea down their throats, and forced a smile.
"It's...a little salty, Miss Floy."
Floy's face showed surprise, and then he apologized:
"Ah... I'm sorry, I seem to have mixed up the sugar and salt. Let me make another cup for you two."
"It's okay, Miss Floy."
Rebecca and Rey saw the "black cloth" covering Floy's eyes and knew that she was a blind girl. Of course, they would not care about this mistake.
Only Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and noticed the smile on Floy's lips when he turned around and left.
He secretly wiped his sweat.
The nun herself seemed a little jealous.
"Mr. Jack, I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of visiting with Rui today..."
Maledice spoke up at this time.
His posture was very low and his tone was extremely respectful.
On the way, Maledice asked Pompeii and Sibert for more detailed information about Chen Lun. The more they learned about it, the more shocked and annoyed the old man became.
I shouldn't have been so rude to this young man at that time, and fortunately he had a noble personality. If he had been a narrow-minded transcendent, I'm afraid that something bad would have happened to both myself and Rui.
Mr. Jack saved his granddaughter Rui without asking for anything in return, but the secret cult member he contacted disappeared without a trace with his things.
I was really deceived!
Maledius was almost mad and annoyed at the same time.
Of course, the most fortunate thing for him was that he met Mr. Jack.
It’s not a question of whether he is great or not! He is really that kind of... that rare kind. His heart is like the sea, his compassion is like an angel, he is polite and noble.
"It's okay, Mr. Maledice, there's nothing to disturb... As for thanking you, that's not necessary. Miss Reay is a kind and lovely girl and should not suffer from that evil curse."
Chen Lun smiled lightly and was very polite.
Maledius was even more ashamed and quickly thanked him again.
He directly took out an Imperial Bank certificate with a face value of several thousand gold pounds and asked Chen Lun to accept it no matter what.
"Although extraordinary people like you may not look down on ordinary money, I also want to express my feelings... Please accept it."
Maledice said sincerely.
Chen Lun looked at the black hard card, smiled politely, and accepted it reluctantly.
Just the action of holding the pocket, no matter how you look at it, is somewhat skillful.
The atmosphere gradually became relaxed and everyone started chatting happily.
At this time, Madam Pompeii noticed something and whispered beside Viscount Pompeii.
The Viscount looked around the living room and found that many decorations had been removed and some small furniture had also been evacuated, so he asked Chen Lun doubtfully:
"Mr. Jack, are you planning to renovate the villa...or move?"
Chen Lun took a sip of tea and said casually:
"Well, moving... We are planning to leave Amber City, and we also want to take time to visit Mr. Viscount and say goodbye."
"Ah...Mr. Jack, you want to leave?!"
Rebecca was surprised.
The others also showed surprised expressions.
Chen Lun nodded.
"Well, because of some troubles... I have to leave here, so as not to harm others, or even you."
Viscount Pompeii 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:
"Several people came outside the manor. They said they were Mr. Maledice's guards... and they came to deliver a message. The situation is urgent."
Chen Lun took the letter and 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 Mr. Maledice.
"This is an urgent letter from your escort."
Maledius was a little confused. After thanking him, he picked up the envelope, quickly opened it, and checked it.
It didn't take long.
His expression changed drastically.
"Yellow Iron City... was destroyed!"
He couldn't help but said out loud, as if he had received a huge shock.
After hearing this, everyone on the side couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
"What?!"
"Huangtie City, did we just leave...?"
"Old General, what happened?!"
Maledius was a little excited. He squeezed the letter in his hand, and then spoke the contents of the letter in a deep voice.
His voice was slightly trembling and hoarse, obviously in disbelief.
"It's the 'Red Disaster'! The top leaders of the Red Apple Church used some mysterious supernatural power to turn countless citizens into man-eating flesh and blood monsters...! Everything is in chaos! Huangtie City has even lost contact ...just like those other cities!”
"How is that possible?!"
Pompeii and Sibert were horrified.
Even Madame Pompeii and the two little girls couldn't help but cover their mouths.
The old man buried his head and suppressed his anger.
"If...we hadn't come to visit Mr. Jack, maybe we would have..."
Siebert muttered.
Pompeii was startled for a moment, then lowered his head in silence.
Yes, if they hadn't happened to leave Huangtie City, they might have been involved in this disaster and narrowly escaped death.
Chen Lun's face became solemn when he heard what Maledius said.
'It is indeed Rafa... But I didn't expect that at this time, he would directly destroy the city! ’
He took a deep breath.
Silently opened the game forum.
After searching for information about Huangtie City, I quickly saw posts about urban unrest, fallen believers, and Archbishop Rafa.
Chen Lun remained 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 small talk... This disaster is likely to affect Amber City. Please make more plans."
He raised his head and said solemnly.
Everyone heard Chen Lun's subtext and stood up one after another.
"Mr. Maledice, and little Rei... you might as well go to my manor to stay first. Mr. Jack should be busy with more important things, so we shouldn't disturb him here."
< br>
Pompei's extremely high emotional intelligence suddenly understood what Chen Lun meant and said to everyone.
"Well, we can only do this first..."
Maledice's mood was very complicated, and he forced a smile on his face.
"Mr. Jack, please excuse me. After this matter is over, if there is still a chance, I will come to visit you again..."
“You’re always welcome.”
Chen Lun showed a polite smile.
He personally escorted everyone to the gate of the manor, watched the Pompeii family, Maledice and others get into the carriage, and watched them leave.
After taking a long breath.
Chen Lun turned back to the villa and immediately summoned all members of the team.
"Mr. Leader, are we leaving now?"
Golov spoke up.
Chen Lun looked at Floy, Noah, Golov, Barton, Morey and Connie and was silent for a few seconds.
"Yes, leave Amber City."
He looked around, as if he wanted to leave this manor where he had lived for more than a year in his mind.
"You guys wait here for a while, I'll go out."
Chen Lun said.
The members nodded in agreement without asking any further questions.
But Chen Lun thought about it and explained to them:
"The Yellow Iron City side has been destroyed by the Red Apple Church. The one who took action was Archbishop Rafa. If we leave in a carriage, I'm afraid we will encounter unnecessary accidents on the way... so I will use another escape route. , a long-distance portal, but I still need to place the final door myself.”
The other members were shocked when they heard the news.
Morey was even more frightened.
If he still stayed in Huangtie City now, how bad would the situation be!
"Mr. Leader, please be careful!"
Morey said respectfully.
Noah, Golov and Barton had expressions of concern on their faces.
What Mr. Jack said convinced them that although they didn't know exactly what the "portal" was, since it was the leader's plan, it must be more secure.
Floy took a step forward and whispered in an ethereal voice:
"We'll wait here for you."
"Don't worry, you'll be back soon."
Chen Lun finished speaking with a smile, turned around and stepped into the spiritual world.

Chen Lun shuttled quickly through the spiritual world.
He was heading towards another city-state.
Adjacent to Gem State, in addition to Hua State, there is also Yan State.
In 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 casual remarks about.
In his impression, the Bronze City in the previous life was not affected too much by the red disaster, and there were still several opportunities that had yet to be discovered.
According to the timeline, there are opportunities that will only be discovered by players in future versions. If you go ahead and get them, you may be able to provide yourself with some help to become stronger.
I didn't go before because of the long distance and lack of strength. Now I just want to leave here, so why not go to Peacock City.
Chen Lun purchased the spiritual world coordinates of Peacock City from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce in advance, spending dozens of gold pounds, but it was worth every penny.
‘You can reach Peacock City in about 20 minutes, activate the spirit world 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 can also bring everyone in the circus into the spirit world, but when traveling through the spirit world, he has no time to care about other people. It is very likely that others will be lost in the spirit world in the process.
This is extremely dangerous.
Therefore, the spiritual world channel composed of two spiritual world stones is the best choice.
Chen Lun suddenly felt a warning from his spiritual intuition.
This warning became stronger and stronger, forcing him to stop.
‘What’s going on? Could it be that there is some danger ahead...? ’
Chen Lun frowned and looked 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 does not weaken...it is danger from other directions! ’
He thought for a while 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 a game forum as a communication platform. In Chen Lun's view, they are an extremely outstanding "eyes" group.
Chen Lun can use players to understand major events happening around the world.
Sinking his mind into the lakeside cabin in Wonderland, he saw Dongyang and others sitting on the lawn chatting, all of which revolved around the destruction of Yellow Iron City and Archbishop Rafa of the Red Apple Church.
"That madman has destroyed a city and then started wreaking havoc in the surrounding areas... Do you think this guy will come to us?"
Goutou Jin curled his lips and said.
"Don't worry, this kind of big BOSS will definitely be solved by plot characters."
Dongyang shrugged and then smiled:
"Just like our Mr. Jack, didn't he fight with this guy and save Amber City?"
"No! The BOSS is indeed coming towards us!"
Polar Star seemed to have been distracted before, and after regaining consciousness, he said in a deep voice to everyone.
"Huh?!"
Others were puzzled.
"What do you mean?"
"You can tell by looking at the game forum."
Polaris said.
Chen Lun, who was in the spirit world, saw this and opened the game forum. He looked through the posts with a sullen face. News of the destruction of Huangtie City had spread. At the same time, the surrounding towns and villages began to be affected, but there was nothing particularly worth mentioning. Pay attention to the place.
Sudden.
His eyes narrowed.
From the posts posted by these players, Chen Lun discovered a blind spot.
That is the affected small towns and villages, which are spreading towards Amber City!
‘Rafa is heading towards Amber City...Everywhere he passes is a ruin, destroyed by him. ’
Such words popped into Chen Lun's mind.
He even had a vague intuition.
Rafa is here for himself!
Putting aside the fact that the Red Apple Church was unfailingly favorable to him, he personally sabotaged Rafa's plan just a year and a half ago.
It is not surprising that the other party will come to trouble you.
'It should be too late to go to Peacock City now... But even if I leave, Rafa will not let go of Amber City. With the official power of Amber City, there is absolutely no way to stop this guy... By then, Amber City will probably become a dead city like Yellow Iron City! ’
Chen Lun's face was solemn.
He began to think about how he should choose. (End of chapter)
