Chapter 349: A Visit at the Dusk Tea Party (2-in-1)
Noah's body slowly shrank, returning from his ghoul appearance to his human form.
He did not forget what Mr. Jack told him. While the red-robed bishop's spirituality had not yet separated, he activated the [Bone Gallery], summoned a hideous-looking easel and pen from the pool of blood, and began to paint on the corpse.
A senior investigator planned to come forward to communicate with him, but was stopped by Burgan.
"My lord?"
The investigator was a little confused.
Burgan shook his head.
"Don't disturb him. Since the bishop was killed by him, the loot belongs to him... It can be regarded as a big help to us and did not let the target escape."
He then chuckled and said:
"You should have heard what he just said... That is a cadre of the extraordinary organization 'Circus', a subordinate of Mr. Jack Spate."
The investigators nodded with emotion on their faces.
"We have also heard about Mr. Jack. It is said that he led the team to fight red disasters more than once and saved many cities... He is an admirable extraordinary person in the field."
"That extraordinary team of immortal strangers are members of the circus organization...Thanks to them for restraining the priests of the Red Apple Church, we can destroy the ceremony without any worries."
The senior investigators exchanged words in low voices.
The monks from the Sun Church on the side looked calm and did not make any statement.
The "Fireworks in the Palm" created by the former Pope Martin Gustus is still in Jack's hands. A team of lamp keepers sent by the church disappeared inexplicably, which is also suspected to be related to this person.
Although the main conflict now is unanimously disclosed to the outside world, that is, the thorough cleanup of the red disaster, this does not mean that the Church of the Sun does not intend to investigate...
When all the dust settles, the Church of the Sun will find Jack to settle the score.
Naturally, they, the sun monks, would not have a good impression of the "circus".
After a while.
Noah finished the painting.
On an easel made of white bones, there is an oil painting - in the painting, the cardinal folds his hands on his chest and collapses among the rose bushes with a pious expression.
The oil painting is very realistic and full of mystery.
Noah was quite satisfied with his work, and named it "Red Bishop". It contained the extraordinary characteristics of "Flesh and Blood Faction Sequence 6 - Bloodline" and was entered into the "Bone Gallery" instead of "Desert".
The three portions of the flesh-and-blood low-sequence mysterious substance separated from "The Deserter" were fed to the gallery by Noah as a snack.
Normally, in addition to communicating with the gallery about creation, Noah would feed it mysterious substances to keep this [A-level magic object] active.
Immediately afterwards, Noah put away the painting tools, turned to look at Burgan and others, and saluted them from a distance, stroking his chest to show his gratitude for not disturbing him.
Immediately, he retrieved his easel bag and came to the players to say goodbye.
"Everyone, my work has been completed, so I will return first..."
"Thank you very much for your assistance!"
Dongyang answered respectfully.
Noah shook his head shyly, saying there was no need to be polite, and immediately escaped into the spirit world under the blazing eyes of the female players.
After he left, the high-level players intensely discussed the battle just now in the team channel.
They didn't expect that Noah, as a "circus assistant", would knock the strongest BOSS in this red-stricken area to the ground one-on-one.
If Noah didn't say it himself, who would know that he was just an "auxiliary"? !
There is really no one else with this kind of fighting ability!
They immediately began to speculate on how strong the other circus officials would be...
You and I each have their own goals to admire, and the most popular ones are none other than Floy and Noah. These are the two most popular NPCs besides Mr. Jack.

Peacock City.
After Noah returned to the winery, he was called to the study by Chen Lun.
"Good job, Noah."
He praised the young man.
"Thank you."
Noah sat on the sofa and smiled shyly.
Chen Lun took out five hundred gold pounds and handed them to him, and said:
"This is your reward for responding to the undead's call for help."
"Mr. Jack, I'm not short of money... The Chamber of Commerce will give me dividends every month, and my sister will also give me pocket money."
Noah quickly declined.
"Take it, Noah, you deserve it."
Chen Lun shook his head and pushed the Imperial Bank certificate over.
"According to the rules of the team, if you give something, you should get something... From now on, the other members who respond to the letter for help will receive most of the reward."
Noah hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the money and thanked him.
Chen Lun smiled slightly, and then asked the other party about the mysterious accumulation.
"During this period, I followed the team to participate in the cleanup of the red disaster. Although it was a high-intensity battle, it also made me make great progress... I feel that I am not far from completing the accumulation."
Noah thought for a while and answered seriously.
Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction.
Several core cadres in the team were all well-known BOSS-level characters in their previous lives. They have great potential. With just a little guidance, they will gallop on the path to God, and progress cannot be slow.
'As a team leader, I can't stop... It's just that the extraordinary knowledge of Sequence 5 is hidden in the Fairyland Crystal Mountain area, and it's still a bit dangerous for me there. This is a problem. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
After chatting with Noah for a few more words, he asked him to go back to the room to rest.
He stayed in the study and read.
A new batch of mysterious books purchased from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce were delivered, totaling more than fifty books and costing more than three thousand gold pounds. He planned to take advantage of this break to read all the books.
With the blessing of [Knowledge Collector LV2], Chen Lun can gain more experience points by reading mysterious books, and there is a small probability of getting skill points and attribute points.
You only need to spend a gold pound, which can not only exchange for a large reserve of panels, but also enrich your knowledge and accumulation of the mysterious field. This is a very good deal for him.
Time passes.
The wall clock in the study room pointed to 5:45 pm.
After taking a glance, Chen Lun closed the book on the table and prepared to go downstairs for dinner.
But before leaving the study, he casually divined his fortune for the next day or two.
This is something he has been doing habitually lately.
After being promoted to Sequence 6, his divination skills have been strengthened again. With his own weight, Chen Lun can already obtain vague revelations about his future. Although it is impossible to predict accurately, it still has certain reference value.
Wow...
Playing cards were flying in the air, and then three cards popped out on their own, floating in front of his eyes.
As the cards flipped, he smiled.
A 2 of diamonds and two heart cards.
"Unkind people come to the door, but they bring good luck."
Chen Lun waved his hand, and the cards neatly fell back into his palm and disappeared immediately.
He chuckled in amusement, then turned around and went downstairs.

The next day.
It happened to be the weekend and the weather was slightly cold.
The silver-covered streets of Peacock City are bustling with people and are more lively than usual.
Carriages jingled and rang their bells, coming and going. The harmonious family of three bundled up tightly, chatting, laughing and walking, and stopped in front of the warm bakery. The child happily pointed at the cartoon-shaped cake in the glass display window and chirped something.
The young man with a hurried look, wearing a uniform that had been starched until it turned white, ran towards the street, causing passers-by to exclaim, and then apologized profusely.
Newsboys shouted out today's breaking news and hawked along the way. Once they see a man who is well-dressed, he will take the initiative to tell him that he has the latest "Sunshine Brand" cigarettes in his bag. He only needs to collect ten different stamps on the cigarette box to redeem a pack for free.
Among the crowd, two gentlemen in fancy clothes were walking slowly without attracting the attention of others.
"It seems that this place has not been affected by the red disaster at all, and it still remains calm and prosperous."
The younger gentleman held the newspaper in his hand, reading it and smiling at his companions.
He wears a light brown top hat, and the heavy windbreaker is also the same color, but around his waist is a gold-inlaid deerskin belt.
"Well..."
The older gentleman responded lazily and took a sip of the hot coffee in his hand.
He was wearing a red and white plaid tuxedo and a top hat, and in his other hand, he was holding a similarly painted cane. The man let out a sigh of relief and said calmly to the young gentleman:
"Weiss, I will take the lead in the subsequent negotiations. Please remember not to interrupt at will."
"Mr. Andersson, why?"
Weiss was a little surprised, and then raised his eyebrows.
"No reason, young man."
Anderson drank all the coffee, crumpled the paper cup into a ball, and shook it, and the garbage disappeared.
"You have to know that this operation is just for me to come alone... If it weren't for your uncle Manolan's strong request and the suggestions of the eight members of the tea party, you would not have come with me at all."
He half-raised his eyelids and said lightly:
"Thank you uncle. He has put a lot of thought into you."
Anderson's tone was calm, but Weiss felt it was extremely harsh after hearing it.
The other party was mocking their uncle and nephew.
"I understand, Mr. Andersson."
Weiss was slightly unhappy, but on the surface he still agreed obediently.
Anderson glanced at him and shook his head secretly.
The current Dusk Tea Party is no longer the Dawn Tea Party of the past. Not only was it expelled from the Orthodox Church seats like the Red Apple Church today, it was also encircled and suppressed by the empire... The survivors of the organization left and dispersed.
They have lost their pride and can only live in the shadows like mice.
At present, the president is missing and the acting president has not returned. The entire tea party is controlled by the party members headed by Manolan, who are still fighting for power and profit over trivial matters.
Just like his current trip to Peacock City, he saw Jack Spate, who played a key role in the fight for seats in the Zhengshen Church within the Mutual Aid Association, and planned to visit him in person to try to negotiate.
As a result, Manolan intervened and arranged for his nephew Weiss to accompany him.
Perhaps in the other party's view, it doesn't matter even if the negotiation fails. Once the negotiation is successful, Weiss will be able to share the credit, which will help his nephew to rise to power in the future.
Anderson was extremely disappointed and felt helpless.
"Is that guy named Jack really that capable? Mr. Andersson."
Weiss asked with a chuckle.
"He and I are both [Sequence 6 - Trapeze]. Even if he is better than me, he is not much better, right? And I heard Uncle Manolan say that there are traces of the president's destiny on his body, so it seems Come on, he’s just a pawn of the president, there’s no need to take him so seriously.”
"Being able to defeat the incarnation of the saint of the Rotev family as a mid-sequence extraordinary person is enough to explain a lot... Weiss, put away your arrogance and prejudice."
Anderson frowned and immediately issued a warning.
Weiss shrugged and nodded in agreement with a playful smile.
But he was extremely disdainful in his heart, thinking that Anderson seemed timid and fearful even though he and his uncle Manolan were both vice-presidents... Can Jack defeat the incarnation of the saint?
Weiss didn't believe it at all.
He felt that the guy must have borrowed the power of others, or was still at the mercy of the president. Only the president secretly changed the fate of both parties, leading to many coincidences and causing the seemingly impossible miracle. occur.

"Mr. Jack, someone has come to visit you."
Connie stood at the door of the study, handing over a business card.
"They are two gentlemen, they say they are your friends."
Chen Lun took the business card and looked down.
It read "Magic Lovers Association: Vice President Anderson".
He immediately realized that his divination yesterday had come true.
Bad people come to the door, but they bring good luck.
"Friends..."
Chen Lun already had a guess about the visitor and chuckled.
"Invite them to the back garden, I will wait there."
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
Connie nodded respectfully, lifted her skirt and bowed before leaving.
She didn't notice anything unusual, and felt that the two gentlemen really just wanted to have a discussion with Mr. Jack because of magic and performance.
After a while.
In the pavilion in the back garden, Chen Lun noticed two men in fancy clothes walking towards them, led by Connie.
The young gentleman among them was staring at him fiercely, his eyes filled with mist.
[You have been detected by "Peeping Life" and your information will be exposed! 】
[Double determination of weight and intelligence...]
[The opponent's judgment failed, exempt from this spying! 】
The young gentleman suddenly staggered and almost lost his balance. Fortunately, the older gentleman next to him gave him a hand and he didn't fall down.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Connie was startled when she saw the other person's eyes were bloodshot and the veins on his forehead were beating, so she asked with concern. Weiss just glanced at her coldly, but was speechless.
"He's fine, he just got sick suddenly."
Chen Lun stepped forward and explained to Connie.
"Go and do your business, Connie."
"Okay, Mr. Jack."
Connie nodded in agreement, and when she left, she didn't forget to look back at the young gentleman.
I lamented in my heart that it was so pitiful that I got a strange disease at such a young age.
After Connie leaves.
"I apologize to you on behalf of Weiss, Mr. Jack Spate."
Anderson suppressed his anger towards Weiss, squeezed out a smile and saluted Chen Lun while stroking his chest.
He took off his red and white checkered top hat and said in a deep voice:
"It is extremely rude to pry into other people's privacy when we first meet! I deeply apologize for this!"
Chen Lun looked at the two of them calmly.
He didn't feel the aura of high status from the other party's body, and he felt a little more confident.
"Please take a seat, you two."
He smiled faintly, as if he didn't take what happened just now to his heart.
Anderson breathed a sigh of relief, patted Weiss's shoulder hard, and then sat down.
Weiss was suffering from the backlash, her face turned red and she lowered her head in silence.
There was both humiliating embarrassment and a severe headache, making him feel on pins and needles at the moment.
"Mr. Jack, I am the Vice Chairman of the Evening Tea Party, Anderson. It is a pleasure to meet you."
Andersson ignored the guy next to him, stretched out his hand, and got straight to the point.
"Evening Tea Party..."
Chen Lunxu smiled coquettishly and shook hands with him.
"So Mr. Andersson, why did you come to see me today?"
Andersson was not surprised to see the other party. He obviously knew the information about the tea party, so he dispensed with the introduction.
He directly stated his purpose:
"Actually, we have always paid attention to you. After all, you are also an extraordinary person on the path of destiny. The Tea Party is eager for talented people like you... and your outstanding performance has been unanimously recognized by the Tea Party. We warmly invite you to join .”
Chen Lun pretended to be surprised, then shook his head and declined.
"Sorry, I have joined the extraordinary forces."
"Oh, that's okay."
Anderson smiled and tried his best to persuade:
"The Dusk Tea Party is not like an ordinary extraordinary organization. There are no red tape rules. Members have their own freedom... Just like an ordinary tea party, they occasionally get together to discuss future development."
When Chen Lun saw this, he had already guessed the other party's purpose.
The battle for seats between the Black Knife Brotherhood and the Murder Club has reached a critical moment. The Dusk Tea Party saw its importance and chose to bribe itself at this point.
But they would never have imagined that they had already known about the opponent's plan and reported the information to the Knights of the Round Table in advance...
Now that the other party has delivered it to your door, it seems a little unreasonable not to take a bite.
Chen Lun chuckled secretly.
On the surface, he looked embarrassed.
"What are the benefits of joining you?"
There is only one chapter today, try your best, beauties
