Chapter 290 Hunting Red Apples
After returning to the winery.
Just in time for dinner.
But Chen Lun was sitting on pins and needles sitting at the main seat of the dining table.
"Ahem, Floy, this...isn't this right?"
He was sweating coldly as he looked at the table full of plates and basins, filled with either fried fish or fried fish sticks. In addition to fish soup, there was pie looking up at the stars.
"Captain, what's wrong?"
Maggie chewed fish fingers in her mouth, making a crunching sound.
"It's quite delicious... It's good to change the flavors occasionally, and Miss Floy's cooking is great, everything is delicious!"
The four men, Noah, Golov, Barton and Morey, stopped eating with some confusion on their faces.
Only Connie seemed to know something.
After drinking a spoonful of fish soup, she held the spoon and blinked her eyes. Her eyes shifted repeatedly between Mr. Jack and Miss Floy, and she hesitated to speak.
"The circus leader and the aristocratic lady flew away and lived happily ever after... Is that how it was played in "The Mute Clown"?"
Floy smiled and muttered slowly.
Chen Lun's expression froze.
"Aha, I'm full... Mr. Leader, Miss Floy, I'm going to go out for a walk first. It seems that there is still a swing missing in the garden. I'm going to knock one out."
Gorlov stood up immediately as if his chair were on fire.
After saying that, he quickly left the restaurant.
Still smiling dryly, he said, "If there was a swing in the garden, it would be very comfortable to swing on."
When Barton and Morey saw this, they understood something.
They both stood up.
"Well, we're full too, captain...Bibu and Dingding seemed to be fighting just now. I'll go over and have a look, so as not to hurt both sides."
"Ding Ding" is the name of the little hedgehog [Prudent Gardener], given to it by Chen Lun.
"Mr. Button and I will each hold one. They will be fine. Don't worry, leader."
Morey said, and the two of them scrambled to leave, as if one second later their lives would be in danger.
Noah and Maggie were still engrossed in eating, watching the three people leave the table in confusion.
"It's strange. Why are you full before you even take two bites?"
Noah muttered.
At this time, Connie immediately ran to the two of them and dragged them out of the restaurant.
"Hey, Connie, what are you doing?!"
"Don't push me, I haven't finished eating yet!"
The sound gradually faded away, and Chen Lun let out a sigh of relief.
"Floy, cough, it's not what you think... I went out with Miss Tracy today mainly to find out information about the local aristocratic circle."
"I know..."
Floy's disembodied voice said.
The air fell silent.
Chen Lun watched Floy sitting in a chair in a daze, always feeling like there were live fish crawling on his body.
"Although I didn't get anything substantial today, I also found some clues... Of course, the most important thing is that when I visited the 'Cruise Boat Museum', I saw a very interesting little object, so I bought it. .”
Chen Lun chuckled and took out a bronze pendant with a crescent moon.
"I think it would look nice on your neck."
Floy came back to her senses, she turned her head slightly to "look" at the pendant in Chen Lun's hand, pursed her lips and said:
"Given to me?"
"Of course."
Chen Lun stood up and walked behind Floy.
"Let me put it on you."
Floy didn't say anything, but she didn't refuse either.
Chen Lun leaned down and gently lifted up Floy's long, pale golden hair, then put the crescent moon pendant around her fair and slender neck, and finally buckled it.
"Does it look good?"
Floy turned around and asked.
"Well, it looks good."
Chen Lun praised.
A smile finally appeared on Floy's face.
Just like the bright moon in the night sky, it breaks through the clouds and blooms with a ray of light.
She touched the bronze crescent moon on her chest, then silently stood up and came back from the kitchen with a plate of fried rice.
"Eat, it's still hot."
Chen Lun looked at the delicate fried rice that was still steaming in front of him and smiled knowingly.
Floy had already made his dinner, but hid it on purpose.
'What a lovely girl...'

late at night.
Chen Lun sat on the chair in the study room, taking out the "commission menu" under the light of the retro incandescent lamp on the wall, opening it and choosing carefully.
'There is currently no clue about the second and third opportunities. As for the clues from the nobles, Miss Tracy seems to know something and has agreed to help find them... I can take advantage of this period to do commissions to gain some experience points. , after all, the upper limit of [Trapeze] is level 40, and I am only level 20 now. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
Although his current total level has reached level 100, and the four basic attributes on the panel have reached the threshold of a Sequence 6 transcendent, there is still a lot of room for improvement in his main profession.
At this stage, improving strength should be the first priority.
Chen Lun's eyes quickly moved across the menu, making rounds of selections.
‘With the sequence ability of [Trapeze], there is no need to worry about distance, but most of the commissions are personal grudges or conflicts between family forces...’
He is not very interested in such a commission.
It's not that Chen Lun is ashamed of being a killer, it's just that with this kind of entrustment, the benefits cannot be maximized.
‘Found it…’
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and locked his eyes on the commission on a certain page of the menu——
"Entrusted target: Red Apple Church in Galena City, Bishop Sommerfick."
"Commission number: YQ2414222. Commission requirements: No limit on killer level."
"Entrustment reward: a bottle of extraordinary wine. Sommelier's comment: red wine, fine quality, sweet after entry, rich fruit aroma, temporary increase in jumping ability and body agility, recycling price 240 gold pounds."
Chen Lun grinned, took out a pen and paper, copied the commission number on the note, signed it, and put it into the black box.
As the note slowly sank into the shadows, after a while, the information about the commission on the menu became distorted and blurred, and the entire page of information was unclear.
Chen Lun knew that the club had locked it and other members could no longer accept the commission.
‘As the Red Disaster spreads and the empire is in turmoil, countless people have forged a deadly feud with the Red Apple Church... What I need is exactly this kind of commission. In the long run, it can not only weaken their power, but also continue to accumulate their contribution to the main mission.
The short-term benefits are also considerable. Commission rewards, plus task rewards, are a rich source of growth... and there are also real-time rewards for killing targets, which is an additional gain. ’
Chen Lun's eyes were deep and he was thinking with a slight smile.
He touched the Balague necklace around his neck and stood up slowly. He walked to the window with his silver cane, looked up at the purple crescent moon in the night sky, and murmured:
"Choko, the knight of spades, is about to hunt the red apple..."

Galangian City is located in Yanbang Bronze City, two cities away from Peacock City, and slightly inland.
Similar to the situation in the Gem State Fossil City, the empire also sent a heavyweight to the Bronze City to take charge of the situation to curb the spread of the red disaster.
However, due to the limited number of high-level officials in the shelter and the Sun Church, one of the vice-presidents of the Historical and Ritual Association of the Zhengshen Church took on the major responsibility.
However, as a high-sequence saint, this vice-council is far inferior to the saints of the Sun Path in terms of suppressing a vast territory. There are no large numbers of incarnations, nor are there any miraculous creations like the daytime obelisk as an increase. As a result, many cities within the jurisdiction of Yanbang Bronze City are still suffering from the ravages of the Red Apple Church and are still waiting for rescue.
Fangyan City is a city in a red disaster area.
Withered and dilapidated, the streets are deserted.
The original local orthodox churches were the Moon Church and the Red Apple Church, but since the red disaster came, the Red Apple Church area has become a restricted area in Fanglian City.
Countless man-eating monsters were wandering around the Red Apple Church District, and many survivors saw with their own eyes that red-robed monks led groups of guards to arbitrarily capture living people in the city and bring them into the church district.
The Moon Church and the shelter each established a "safety zone" with their strongholds as the center to resist the red disaster. Most of the survivors in Fanglian City gathered and lived in this area and received shelter.
Outside the safe zone, there are fallen believers, full of chaos and killing, like hell.
If you look down, it looks like there is a huge mouth slowly swallowing two eggs.
The Red Apple Church District at this time.
Hundreds of residents are being imprisoned in underground prisons, and those who cannot fit are piled in large iron cages in the courtyard on the surface, like livestock waiting to be slaughtered.
Bishop Sommerfick carried out his inspection with an expressionless face, looking at these ragged and shocked residents with a cruel smile on his face.
"The number of these living sacrifices is sufficient. If they are put into the 'Atonement Ceremony' in batches, the efficiency of refining the sin blood will be greatly improved."
"Your will is obeyed, Lord Bishop Sommerfick!"
The two red-robed monks following him replied respectfully.
"Praise the rose."
The group solemnly made a prayer gesture.
The iron cage was extremely crowded, hot and stifling. Most of the imprisoned residents were terrified, and a few stared directly at the clergy of the Red Apple Church with angry eyes.
But they didn't dare to make a loud noise, because those who did so had already had their throats cut and bled on the spot, and then dragged to an invisible place and disposed of.
Bishop Sommerfike turned and came to the other side of the courtyard.
On the marble floor here, a huge magic circle ceremony was carved with blood, with a statue of an old man placed in the middle.
This statue is four to five meters tall, wearing a luxurious robe and a pointed crown. It holds the Bible of the Rose in one hand and a triangular candlestick in the other.
He is none other than the former Pope of the Red Apple Church, Dolomy Purnis.
The statue was splattered with blood and surrounded by naked corpses of both men, women and children. On the candlestick of the statue, there is a girl impaled. She is not dead yet, and she is struggling and screaming on it.
The blood slowly flowed along the candlestick and statue, and merged into the groove under the statue.
A transparent Holy Grail is placed under the groove to receive the condensed sinful blood.
"Help me..."
The girl murmured dyingly.
Bishop Sommerfick and several red-robed monks remained silent, surrounding the edge of the ceremony, silently watching all this.
Just then.
The leader, Sommerfike, suddenly changed his face slightly and turned his head sharply.
A figure appeared behind him at some point and was walking slowly.
Pat, pat...
This man was dragging a huge broad-bladed sword, wearing ancient rust-spotted armor, with twisted snake ornaments all over his body, and the scarlet cloak behind him was raised high, making a hunting sound.
"Intruder!"
"All on alert!"
The red-robed monks shouted, and church guards rushed in from all directions.
Somerphick stared at the figure, and suddenly his whole body was shaken.
"Knight of Spades...Qiao Ke! What do you want to do here?!"
"What a delicious prey... Today, none of you can even think of running away, ho ho ho..."
The knight walked slowly, and terrifying laughter came from under the dark cross hole.
"Retreat!!"
Sommerfick yelled.
Clang! !
A brilliant silver slash suddenly appeared next to Sommerfick.
Before the four red-robed monks had time to react, their heads were found in different places.
Their heads were raised high, and the expressions of shock on their faces were frozen.
The headless corpse gushed out a fountain of blood and collapsed suddenly. (End of chapter)
