Chapter 305 Destiny is like a circle
The situation developed just as Chen Lun predicted.
After the Peacock City Historical and Ritual Association was severely damaged, it immediately ceased operations, stopped all activities carried out outside, and shrunk into a low-key posture.
The sudden attack by the Bishop of the Red Apple Church directly led to the death of the president of the branch here, and the martyrdom of many extraordinary members. It cannot be said that the losses were heavy, it can only be said that they lost their pants.
The biggest problem is that no one knows how the bishop suddenly appeared in the resident building, and he looks like a mad dog and kills everyone on sight. It is simply inexplicable and extremely weird. In order to suppress him, the asylum and the School of Madmen did not dare to hold back at all, and in the end they had no choice but to kill him. This problem became an unsolvable mystery.
There was Osmond, the former vice-commander, who led his team to encounter the Knight of Spades and was brutally destroyed. Later, President Pearson was sitting in the station. The bishop came from heaven and died an extremely unjust death.
The entire Historical and Ritual Society seemed to be shrouded in terrible bad luck.
The one who benefited the most from this accident was the Simon family.
The History and Ceremony Association finally had no time to suppress them anymore. The various industries of the Simon family also resumed normal operations. The City Garden Theater opened again. The decadence and depression on Hoyle's face disappeared, and he put on a smile again.
This day.
Hoyle rode a carriage and came to Jack Winery for a visit.
"Mr. Jack! Good news! City Garden Theater is open for business again! Haha!"
Hoyle hugged Chen Lun happily, and then said excitedly:
"As you said, everything is getting better! I don't know what happened to the History and Ceremony Association. Even the resident building collapsed. Now I have no mood to target the Simon family again."
With a smile on his face, Chen Lun invited Hoyle to sit in the living room of the villa in the main building.
"That's good news indeed."
Chen Lun made a cup of tea for Hoyle and said casually.
"I heard that the Historical and Ritual Association will leave Peacock City in the near future, and another Orthodox Church will come to take charge."
"Yes, my father has already confirmed it. The Hailing Regiment will come to take over next month and replace the History and Ceremony Association in Peacock City."
Hoyle took the tea cup, thanked him and said with a smile.
"In this way, our Simon family no longer has to move our entire family. I don't know how much loss has been saved."
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when happy events occur, and Hoyle's current state is like this.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't stop and kept talking to Chen Lun about what happened in the past two days.
Hoyle said that his father, Don Marnesemen, was physically and mentally exhausted during this period. It seemed that he had seen through many things because of the catastrophe the family had encountered, and decided to abdicate to retire and hand over the helm of the family to his heirs.
However, Don Marne has five sons and two daughters. Among them, Hoyle's two brothers Gadson and Lance have suffered a mental breakdown and are now less intelligent than a child. They are recuperating at home and are hated by people. The other sons and daughters were also involved in this incident, complaining about their father's misdeeds, which made him feel annoyed.
Only Hoyle, who has always supported his father and runs the City Garden Theater, is the most outstanding among all the brothers and sisters.
So Hoyle told Chen Lun that he was about to become the next head of the Simon family.
"Mr. Jack, actually I never thought that my father would hand over all the family business to me..."
He shook his head, seeming 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 your joining, the City Garden Theater would not have come back to life, and even became the most popular theater in Peacock City... This is a collection I got from my father, and it will be used as a collection. A gift for you.”
He laughed.
"These days, my father always has a frown on his face. Only when he talks about going to the City Garden Theater, it is rare to see him smile... I guess this is why my father readily gave me his collection."
"Thank you."
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"!
'Originally, I just helped Hoyle, but I didn't expect that this would win him the approval of Don Marne, and he would also hand over the remaining treasures to him... Destiny is really like a circle. ’
Chen Lun sighed secretly.
‘This is how the collection of “Carmen’s Notes” is complete. ’
Things went much smoother than expected, and he was pleasantly surprised by the harvest.
Hoyle had just taken over the family business and had many things to be busy with, so he did not stay at 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.
Returning to the villa, he immediately checked two things.
There are already two fragments of the Monument of Destiny, but there is still a long way to go before it can be restored. Chen Lun doesn't know how many pieces it has been broken into, so he can only preserve it for now.
As for the third volume of "Carmen's Notes", after some reading, Chen Lun once again learned a lot of basic knowledge about magic and Carmen's new insights.
The content recorded in this volume of handbooks is the knowledge about "enchantment".
Carmen emphasizes that everything in the world can be enchanted, a view that is diametrically opposed to the Madman School. The latter believes that only specially crafted wands or weapons can do this, but in fact it is nothing more than a formalism.
From Carmen's point of view, it means that not only physical objects, but even the simplest acid technique can be enchanted to increase its power or characteristics, but it is not cost-effective.
Chen Lun had been sitting on the sofa reading the manuscript, during which Floy prepared lunch, but seeing how devoted he was, he did not disturb him, but silently left food for him and kept it warm.
Around 3:30 in the afternoon.
Chen Lun suddenly felt something, and what followed was a prompt box on the panel——
[You have learned and understood the skill "Magic Flying Cards" by reading carefully! 】
【Magic Flying Card LV1】
Skill description: You have spent a long time trekking on the path of destiny, have an extremely thorough understanding of [Magician], and have mastered all kinds of magic to perfection. After in-depth research on magic, you gained insights from the knowledge of "enchantment" and tried to integrate it with the magic "card throwing knife" to create this new ability.
Skill effect: You have mastered the power of enchanting cards, and distinguish them by four different colors——
Flying square cards, sharp enchantment, increase cutting ability.
Plum Blossom Flying Card, sticky enchantment, increases strong control ability.
Red heart flying card, healing enchantment, increased recovery ability.
Spade flying card, energy enchantment, increased explosive ability.
"What a powerful skill..."
Chen Lun looked at the skill description blankly and sighed.
The emergence of "Magic Flying Card" can be said to have greatly improved his long-range combat capabilities, and it looks very comprehensive!
It has single-point attack, range damage, restriction and self-healing. This skill can even be split into four skills.
Chen Lun was secretly happy and took out the remaining 4 skill points to upgrade it.
But he soon discovered that the "Magic Flying Card" was unsustainable after it reached LV3, because it required 2 skill points for each level up.
‘Sure enough, this skill requires more skill points...’
Chen Lun had no choice but to use up most of the stored experience points to upgrade his main profession by 4 levels, and gained 4 skill points and attribute points before he fully upgraded the "Magic Flying Card".
At the same time, his main profession has also become [Sequence 6 - Trapeze LV30]!
‘There are still 10 levels left to reach the full level. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
He then read the third volume of "Carmen's Notes" and also found some fragments of words left by Carmen at the end.
This time it was not a poem praising teacher Frederic, but a request.
"——Reader, if you have benefited a lot from my letters, then please do me a favor. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to... If you can, please help me convey the poem to my teacher, Fei Redtree, this is my last farewell.”
Carmen also said that in the far north of the Trisur Empire, at the border with the Byron Kingdom, at the top of the Augusta Mountains outside the Coleridge Forest, there is a mage tower.
The teacher Frederic has always lived there.
[Trigger A-level mission: The messenger of love letters! 】
Task description: You saw a message from the magician Carmen in "Carmen's Letters". She asked you to help convey the content of the poem to his teacher Frederic.
"I have never violated your teachings and have been pursuing knowledge...or rather, knowledge is pursuing me. But there is never a day when I don't miss you."
Mission goal: Successfully reach the Meteor Mage Tower and deliver the poem to Frederic. (Note: The current mission is dangerous!)
Mission reward: 100,000 experience points, 100 gold pounds, Carmen's favorability and Frederic's favorability, and unknown rewards.
‘Errand mission? ’
Chen Lun rubbed his chin and took over the task.
'For [Aerial Trapeze], delivering messages is indeed not a difficult task. I can reach my destination quickly by leaping through the clouds... But the Meteor Mage Tower where Carmen's teacher Frederic is located is located on the northern border of the empire. The border was not safe and the journey was long, so I needed 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. We would talk about it later.
At the same time, Chen Lun also got a glimpse of some detailed information from the mission description.
For example, the nickname for Carmen is "He", which means that this magician is indeed a high-ranking extraordinary person, or at least a Sequence 4 magic saint, and his teacher Fred Cui is most likely a higher Sequence existence.
‘It is still dangerous to rashly meet such a strange high-ranking person. Let’s wait until I am stronger. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself. (End of chapter)
