Chapter 430 Underground Secret
Soon, two female guards took Chen Lun out.
He will take a bath before being arranged to Ms. Oriana's residence, where he will wait for her to taste it.
Chen Lun did not resist, he "obediently" accepted this arrangement.
After a while.
"Go in, you can rest inside first, but you can't come out at will. If you need anything, you can call us."
The female guard stood in front of a house that looked relatively clean and tidy, and turned to Chen Lun and said.
Chen Lun has now changed his attire. The original black hat and black clothes have been replaced by a rough linen robe. His slightly long and slightly curly black hair fell casually. With his perfect face and figure, he instantly transformed from a civilized person to a civilized person. The gentleman has become an "angel" who has fallen into the mortal world.
He just nodded and pushed the door open.
The two female guards looked away from his back and stood restlessly at the door. They looked at each other and saw a longing but timid expression on each other's faces.
This is the first time they have seen such a top-notch man.
But they are very self-aware. With their low status, it is impossible to enjoy him... That is a man that only the great lord Ms. Oriana deserves to have.
Chen Lun walked into the house and looked at the simple furnishings around him, remaining calm. There is only a bed, a table and two chairs, without too many decorations. Even the quilt on the bed was just the fur of an unknown animal.
But he lay down on it without disdain and began to meditate.
After entering the Matthew Realm, he discovered a very strange phenomenon along the way, that is, the time here is opposite to that on the surface.
He clearly entered the underground at midnight on the surface, but here it was daytime.
‘Perhaps this has something to do with the dark red ball of light on the dome. It will gradually dim over time, then regain its brightness, over and over again... Red Mother? What exactly is that? Could it be a miracle or wonder? ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
He shook his head and recalled the meeting with the two ladies just now.
At that time, through the probing of life, he knew that the lord of this settlement, Ms. Cremo, was a mid-sequence transcendent [Moon Faction Sequence Six-Night Watcher]. And Ms. Oriana, the lord from the large settlement "Crimson Rose", is a [Moon Faction Sequence Five - Black Knight].
'The power and position of [Siren Song] may not be enough to hypnotize a Sequence Five Transcendent, but with my own strength, even if there is nothing I can do and I am besieged by this settlement, I can escape calmly...'
Chen Lun prepared the worst plan, which was to capture Ms. Oriana, extract the information he wanted from her, and finally escape from here.
He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and used the [Fred Cui Meditation Method] to relax himself and take a short rest.
Two hours and eighteen minutes later.
Chen Lun noticed slight footsteps approaching the door.
"Okay, you all go back and rest, there is no need to guard here."
Ms. Oriana's voice came faintly from outside the door.
"Yes, Ms. Oriana, have a wonderful evening."
The female guard's respectful voice sounded, and soon there were footsteps leaving.
Creak.
The simple wooden door was pushed open from the outside and slowly closed again the next second.
Chen Lun opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
He saw Ms. Oriana standing at the table, with her back to him, slowly taking off her outer clothes, revealing her smooth white shoulders and back, and her extremely curvy figure was clearly visible.
Chen Lun had an expressionless face and was about to use [Thought Stealing] on him, but Oriana suddenly spoke without looking back:
"Do you know a man named Byers Wolf?"
Chen Lun was startled at first, then frowned slightly, doubts flashing in his eyes.
‘How could this great lord of the Matthew Realm know about Mr. Byers... huh? Could it be that Mr. Byers had some contact with this woman after he came here? ’
He made the best guess in his mind.
Anliana changed into a lighter and more comfortable cotton and linen robe as if no one else was around, turned around, looked at Chen Lun with a half-smiling look, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly:
"Your name is Jack, right? In fact, when I saw you for the first time, I knew you were from the surface... After all, only women in Matthew's land can be polluted and possess extraordinary powers. Men are just ordinary people. But you are different. I can feel the vague and mysterious aura in you, and your rank is not low.”
She sat on the chair by herself, supported her chin with her palms, and said with blurred eyes:
"And the most important thing is that your temperament is very similar to a man I have seen before. It is the calmness and confidence that only men on the surface can have."
Chen Lun was a little surprised by this, but he was not panicked.
He glanced at her silently, thought for a moment, and then whispered:
"Yes, I know Mr. Byers. He is my mentor and half of my family."
Oriana's eyes suddenly lit up.
She didn't expect that her tentative inquiry would actually yield something.
"Where is he?"
Oriana showed eager eyes.
Chen Lun saw the true feelings contained in her casual reaction, which was a kind of expectation and concern, as well as the slightest admiration.
He couldn't help but imagine a drama of unrequited love in his mind.
‘Could this great lord be in love with Mr. Byers...’
Chen Lun thought for a while and decided to try a peaceful approach first.
"Mr. Byers...died in an accident not long ago."
He said solemnly.
Oriana's expression froze, and then became cold.
"It seems that you don't know him, you are just deceiving me... That's right, even if he is from the surface, there is no such coincidence."
"I didn't lie to you."
Chen Lun said calmly.
"Biles' strength is on the same level as the Queen, how could he die so easily..."
Oriana said coldly.
"This matter is a little complicated to say, but Mr. Byers has indeed fallen... He first fought against his old enemy and was seriously injured, and then was ambushed by another enemy of the same level, which eventually led to him losing control."
< br>
Chen Lun sighed.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the notebook of information left by Mr. Byers and handed it over.
Oriana took it in confusion and eagerly opened it to read. The more she read, the paler her face became, and she was finally in a daze.
A long while.
She returned the note to Chen Lun with a lonely expression.
"I believe what you said..."
After a few seconds of silence, Oriana began to tell him about what happened a few months ago.
It turns out that when Mr. Byers first came to the land of Matthew, he happened to meet Oriana, and the great lord fell in love with her at first sight... not only because of Mr. Byers' noble and unique temperament, but also his powerful strength .
This was a man Oriana had never seen before.
But then Byers left without saying goodbye, which made her miss him every day and night, imagining that one day Byers would come back...or that Matthew could return to the surface one day, so that she could find him.
Unfortunately, this day will never come.
"Do you know why the Matthews can't leave here and return to the surface?"
Oriana suddenly asked in a low voice.
Before Chen Lun could answer, she continued:
"It is punishment, the punishment of the Sun God for us sinners... Thousands of years ago, the continent collapsed and collapsed, and a new continent covered our heads, bathed in the gentle sunshine, leaving us with only infinite darkness. ”
Oriana's eyes were in trance, as if she was explaining to Chen Lun, or talking to herself.
"We are poor people abandoned by the sun god, fending for ourselves underground... Even for reproduction, we can only rely on the 'underground river', but the offspring born from the 'underground river' are all female without exception, and they are born It carries pollution and has a short lifespan... I probably have no hope of being promoted to a high position in this life. The end is approaching, but it is a pity that I will not be able to see Byers again."
Chen Lun listened silently and said nothing.
Oriana looked up at this moment.
"It shouldn't be an accident that you come here...For Byers' sake, if you need anything, I can help you."
"Thank you."
Chen Lun said.
"I want to know something."
"What happened?"
Oriana asked.
"All About Matthew's Land."
Chen Lun looked at her and said.
Oriana didn't seem surprised by this, she just nodded.
"At the beginning, Byers was curious about this place just like you...and why aren't we curious about the surface of the earth?"
She smiled self-deprecatingly, and soon told Chen Lun some things about the land of Matthew.
Oriana first introduced the four queens.
They are all high-ranking saints in Sequence Four, but they are different from the [Moon Sequence Four - Ferryman] that Chen Lun recognized.
The order of the queens is [Undead]!
‘Is it a branch of the Moon Path? ’
Chen Lun thought in surprise.
"The land of Matthew was abandoned by the Sun God. At the same time, there is a 'gatekeeper' guarding the only way to the surface, blocking us... Four queens once joined forces to challenge the 'gatekeeper' and tried to lead us Returned to the surface, but failed miserably.”
Oriana shook her head and said.
"You can't leave here from the spirit world?"
Chen Lun remembered how he got here and asked aloud.
"Yes... there is a curse hidden in the bloodline from which 'Dark River' was born, which prevents us 'Dark Descendants' from entering the spiritual world."
Oriana smiled bitterly.
She raised her gaze again and looked at Chen Lun's handsome face.
"But the 'Lightborn' born from normal intercourse between men and women are not restricted, so they are the hope of the land of Matthew. The four queens have made an agreement to raise a very small number of 'Lightborn' and let them return from the spirit world. Go to the surface and find a way to save this land... This is what we are doing and will continue to do, because it is the only light we can see"
"No wonder men are so rare and precious in Matthew's land."
Chen Lun nodded with understanding.
At the same time, he thought in his mind:
'According to Oriana, there should be some 'Lightborn' from the land of Matthew on the surface, but I have never heard of it before... They should be good at hiding their identities and looking for ways to save their hometown in secret. . ’
Chen Lun sighed calmly.
He then asked about the polluting creatures.
Oriana told him that the environment in Matthew's land was harsh. Not only was it lacking in materials, it was also attacked by various polluting creatures. Among them, the most troublesome for the Matthew people was the Didak bug people. They were powerful. Only Only big lords have the ability to kill them.
This information made Chen Lun raise his eyebrows.
The Didak bugs only exist in the dark world, but they have spread to the real world and are wreaking havoc in the Matthew world...
‘Is there any connection between this? ’
Chen Lun couldn't help but guess.
"Ms. Oriana, thank you very much for your answer. I have one last request."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Oriana said with a smile.
"I want to meet your queen."
Chen Lun said.
Oriana was a little surprised by this. She raised her eyebrows, thought for a while and said:
"That's fine. The Queen is very concerned about matters on the surface. She may be able to get the answer she wants from you... I can help you with this matter, but you need to wait for some time. After all, the Queen is very busy on weekdays, even if I must also report it in advance.”
"Thank you very much."
Chen Lun nodded in greeting.
After the two chatted for a few more words, Oriana got up and left.
"You can rest here tonight, we will see you tomorrow."
As the door closed, Chen Lun let out a sigh of relief.
He was originally worried that Oriana would spend the night here tonight. If that was the case, he would have no choice but to... drive her away.
‘Who told me that I am a good man with bottom line and morals...’
Chen Lun shook his head.

The next day.
Early in the morning, two female guards came to knock on the door.
"Ms. Oriana is about to return to the 'Crimson Village'. You should wash up first and go to have dinner with us. We will set off later."
Chen Lun nodded.
After a while.
After he finished cleaning up, he followed them out of the house.
However, on the way, he noticed that the two female guards turned back frequently, looked at him with surprised and curious eyes, and exchanged words in low voices.
Chen Lun used [Five Senses] to transform vision into hearing, and saw the content of their communication——
"Is this man really that great? I saw that Ms. Oriana's face was not looking good, and she was a little paler than before..."
"I've also noticed that even Ms. Oriana can't stand it. What exactly is this man's body made of?"
"Hey, do you want to try it?"
"Of course, don't you want to? But how is this possible..."
As they spoke, the two female guards showed strong regret on their faces.
Chen Lun followed, shaking his head secretly.
After arriving at the big house where they met yesterday, he met Ms. Oriana again here, but Ms. Kramer was not present.
Oriana was sitting on a chair, with seven or eight heroic women standing behind her. Judging from their dress and temperament, it was obvious that they were not ordinary guards or attendants.
"Good day, Jack."
Ms. Oriana raised her hand to signal Chen Lun to sit down and eat.
Chen Lun responded politely and then sat down.
The food on the table was not rich, just some simply cooked mushroom soup and barbecued meat, but Chen Lun knew that this might already be a quite luxurious breakfast here.
"Ms. Oriana, I may need to return today, so I'd like to say goodbye to you."
Chen Lun took a sip of the mushroom soup and found it had no salty taste.
He raised his head and said to the other party.
Oriana looked a little surprised, but she didn't hold back. She knew Chen Lun's details, and naturally knew that there were some things that shouldn't be asked in depth.
"It doesn't matter... I will handle your matter as soon as possible, but how should I contact you then?"
Oriana said.
Chen Lun glanced at the women behind him. Seeing Oriana's intention, it seemed that he didn't need to avoid these confidants.
He raised his hand and flicked his finger, and his index finger fell off and turned into a small white snake, flying in front of Oriana.
"It can be used as a medium to communicate at any time."
Chen Lun explained.
Oriana was very surprised. She held the little white snake in her hands, then chuckled and stuffed it into her plump chest.
Chen Lun's hand holding the bowl couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The little white snake is part of his body and can naturally share his perception.
Warm and cozy.
But he soon realized something, and that comfortable feeling instantly turned into a creepy feeling, like fish crawling all over his body.
He coughed twice and was about to speak.
Ms. Oriana spoke out first:
"Jack, before you leave, do you want to think about these men of mine... They are all excellent warriors and have learned a lot about reproduction. Maybe your seeds can allow them to give birth to more talented light descendants. '."
The eyes of the seven or eight women behind her suddenly lit up, staring directly at Chen Lun.
Chen Lun suddenly felt that the sight of fish crawling all over his body was even more intense. At this moment, countless fish even ran over him, making his hair stand on end.
"Thank you for your kindness, Oriana, but I don't think so..."
He tried hard to maintain a smile and said lightly. (End of chapter)
