Chapter 437 Queen Matthew
Intramuros Tourmaline Kloster.
Central area, interior of the Bountiful Church area, Northeast Square.
Chen Lun was sitting on a chair, with the circus officials behind him, and Nata and a dozen other black cat warriors were in front of the chair.
"Then answer, have you really decided?"
Chen Lun looked serious and confirmed again.
Nada and his fellow black cats looked at each other, then nodded heavily.
"Yes, Lord Beloved, we have decided to follow you and make our way in this world... Our hometown is still in the 'Wonderland', and there is a clan of black cats like us there, so we don't need to worry anymore... Since Kazite and The hope of the cat family is in your hands, and we also want to use our remaining abilities to help you.”
Chen Lun looked at them quietly, smiled and nodded.
Then he extended a hand.
"In that case, you are welcome to join."
"Then I will follow you to the death!"
The black cats each swore an oath, and Nada, the leader, raised his paw and touched Chen Lun's palm respectfully.
Floy smiled and took the lead in applauding.
All the circus officials clapped their hands, and Alex, Maggie and Connie looked surprised. Although Antonio had surprised them before when he joined the team, now a group of talking black cats appeared.
Golov, Patton and Morey looked at each other, and they all saw a sense of urgency on each other's faces.
Although these black cats look short in stature, each of them is a "veteran" who has experienced hundreds of battles. When fighting alone, they can even defeat an ordinary Sequence Seven Transcendent.
Among them, Nada's strength has reached the level of ordinary Sequence Six extraordinary beings.
Chen Lun was very pleased to see the addition of this new force.
The overall level of the team has been improved again.
At noon.
Chen Lun asked Floy to make a sumptuous lunch for the black cats as a welcome ceremony, but he himself had no appetite because the entire table was almost full of various fish foods.
This can't help but make Chen Lun confused.
Floy is rarely seen cooking fish, but judging from the appearance of the food and the satisfied expressions of the black cats, it must taste good.
‘Why is she so skillful...’
Chen Lun glanced over inadvertently, only to find that Floy turned around in the kitchen and responded with a smile. Those beautiful lavender eyes were meaningful.
He coughed and looked away.
At this time, Chen Lun discovered another strange phenomenon.
That was the black cats headed by Nata, who seemed to be in awe of the white cat Bib, and even showed the slightest hint of flattery in their inadvertent behavior.
‘Is it because Maggie once possessed Bibu, so the remaining aura makes them feel awe? ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
After meal.
Chen Lun was planning to go to the Imperial Judgment Building, collect the intelligence he had found at the End of Darkness, and hand it over to Chief McCollin in person.
Now the progress of the spirit world investigation team has almost stalled. He is the only one who has confirmed the source and truth of the turmoil in the spirit world... He needs to complete this task as soon as possible. On the one hand, he wants the empire to respond faster, and on the other hand, he needs to complete this task as soon as possible. It is hoped that by completing this task, you can obtain the corresponding merit and exchange for what you need.
However, not long after he left the house.
Chen Lun was sitting in the carriage and suddenly noticed that his index finger trembled slightly.
"Golov, pull over first."
His eyes narrowed and he spoke immediately.
"Yes, leader."
Golov's respectful voice came from outside the curtain of the carriage.
Chen Lun bent his index finger and gently placed it in front of his eyes.
hiss!
The index finger suddenly shed its skin and turned into a tiny white snake, slowly spitting out the letter. A few seconds later, Chen Lun shared part of the information through it.
"Golov, there is no need to go to the Judgment Building. Let's return to the church area..."
Chen Lun thought for a while and then said.
Golov was obviously confused, but he didn't ask any more questions.
"I need to go out for something urgent. Tell Floy and other cadres for me."
"Okay, leader."
Golov responded.
When the carriage drove back to the Bountiful Church area, Golov opened the curtain and found that the leader had disappeared.

Underground in the Sun Continent.
Matthew's land.
A tall figure suddenly appeared outside a tall wooden fence. He took out a black hat and put it on himself, then strode towards the door with his silver cane.
This person is Chen Lun who came after hearing the news.
Just now, he received a message from Ms. Oriana on the carriage. The other party said that she had contacted the queen, and the queen agreed to meet Chen Lun.
'This opportunity is rare. Although I have learned the origin and truth of the turmoil in the spiritual world, the queen of Matthew's land must know many secrets of the past. Maybe I can obtain some precious information from her...'
The land of Matthew is ruled by four queens. The queen of Oriana's camp is Queen Kaplan of the Eastern Territory.
These were some of the basic information Ms. Oriana told him.
As soon as Chen Lun arrived at the gate, he found that Ms. Oriana had been waiting for a long time. Beside her, there are two teams of female guards holding spears. Judging from the physique and equipment of these women, they are obviously much stronger than the "Tree Root Settlement".
"Glad we meet again, Jack."
Ms. Oriana was wearing a white fur coat today. The furry collar was raised up, covering half of her face, leaving only her charming eyes exposed.
The other party led the female guard and strode over, put her hand on Chen Lun's shoulder affectionately, and made a virtual gesture towards the door behind him.
"Welcome to the 'Crickilo Settlement', Her Majesty the Queen is inside."
"Thank you for your help, Ms. Oriana."
Chen Lun took off his hat and thanked him with a smile.
"Is this the etiquette of men on the surface? It feels pretty good."
Oriana smiled and led the way.
"You're welcome. The reason why I helped you is because of Byers... Her Majesty the Queen likes sweets. Later you can offer some of the things I prepared for you, so that she will be very happy."
"Thank you."
Chen Lun thanked him again, but Oriana just waved her hand.
Soon, he entered the "Crickilo Village".
The streets here are wider than those in the "Tree Root Settlement", but overall they are still very simple. Many scantily clad women are busy in front of the house. When they see Ms. Oriana passing by, they all kneel down and salute.
Chen Lun turned a blind eye to this and followed Oriana forward calmly.
After a while, the group of people arrived in front of a two-story building deep in the settlement.
"How about it? Doesn't it feel magical? It has a two-story house. This is a building that only our 'Crimson Lobster Settlement' has in the eastern territory. It is used as a conference hall on weekdays and occasionally used to welcome distinguished guests."
Ms. Oriana introduced Chen Lun in a slightly proud tone.
Chen Lun stared at the rough two-story building in front of him and found it quite interesting.
Along the way in Matthew's Land, he discovered that almost all the residents here lived in bungalows. Indeed, as Oriana said, such buildings were quite rare.
He did not laugh at Oriana, after all, he could understand that the Matthews had been trapped underground for thousands of years, and many inheritances and technologies had long since died out, and had even degenerated into primitive society.
Chen Lun even sympathized with them.
"It does shock me, Ms. Oriana."
Chen Lun smiled and nodded, and praised the building in front of him.
Ms. Oriana seemed very happy. She quickly pulled Chen Lun to the door and said to the female guard:
"The person the Queen wants to see has arrived. Let's go and inform him."
Two heroic women with high ponytails looked at Chen Lun with squinted eyes, then nodded indifferently, turned around and walked into the house.
Soon they came out again and said to Oriana:
"The Queen lets him in, but only to him."
Oriana didn't seem surprised. After she nodded, she gestured behind her, and her attendant sent a handmade wooden box.
She handed it to Chen Lun and whispered:
"These are the rare 'Plumberries' in Matthew's land. There are nine of them in total. I spent a lot of effort to collect them. I will remember to give them to Her Majesty the Queen later... Go in."
"Thank you."
Chen Lun nodded, took the wooden box and walked into the house.
There was a round stone table in the hall, and a white-haired woman sat at the head of the table. She had a delicate appearance, especially her eyes. The light blue eyes always showed a noble but indifferent look.
"Her Majesty Queen Kaplan."
Chen Lun put away his silver cane, took off the black hat on his head, and bowed slightly.
The Queen lowered her gaze to him and looked at him for a few seconds, then nodded and raised her hand to signal.
"Take a seat, guest from the surface."
Chen Lun noticed that the queen's clothes were quite simple, just a milky white linen robe. There is a black sun branded on the back of his exposed hand.
He suddenly felt very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
After Chen Lun sat down, the Queen continued:
"I've heard about you from Oriana, Jack...meet me, what do you want to know?"
Chen Lun didn't expect the other party to be so direct, but he quickly reacted.
"Your Majesty the Queen, there has never been any record of the land of Matthew in the mysterious realm on the surface of the earth. It was only when I came here accidentally that I was so shocked..."
Queen Kaplan nodded.
"Ever since the continent collapsed more than 4,000 years ago, we have been trapped here... This is the punishment of the Sun God for sinners like us, and it will naturally erase our existence."
"Your Majesty, may I know...why the Sun God punishes you?"
Chen Lun asked following the words.
The queen was not angry. She glanced at Chen Lun calmly and spoke slowly:
"Because our ancestors did not believe in the sun god...but believed in the 'Dragon of Light'."
"The Dragon of Light..."
Chen Lun was slightly startled.
He thought of the monument he saw when he led the investigation team to explore the dark world, which recorded some gods from the early Fourth Age.
In addition to the true gods of fate, nature and magic, the names "Dragon of Light" and "King of Giants" have appeared.
"My father once said that the sun only needs one... The dragon of light has many similarities in power, so the two sides once had a divine war."
Queen Kaplan recounted the mythical past lightly.
"The final result was that the Dragon of Light fell, and Liefu became the only sun god in the world..."
From the queen's simple description, Chen Lun seemed to see the scene of the earth falling apart at that time, and his breathing could not help but slow down.
At the same time, he thought of the dark red star at the end of the darkness and the remaining words in his mind...
'Perhaps, in addition to the ancient god 'Dragon of Light', there was also the true god 'Sui Mother' of the Black Sun path, who was also suppressed by the Sun God... If it is as I guessed, then the Sun God Fiery Father How powerful is it? ! ’
Chen Lun felt strongly shocked.
"In ancient times, in order to fight against the extraordinary creatures and powerful civilizations on the mainland, humans on the surface united and established the Kingdom of Yanita. Later, they communicated with the stars and gained divine power, and the 'Starry Sky God Cult' came into being..."
Queen Kaplan spoke eloquently.
"However, more than 4,000 years ago, there was civil strife in the 'Starry Sky God Cult', and the Kingdom of Yanita fell apart. Our tribe fell into the ground with the punishment of the Sun God... Do you know why this place is called the 'Land of Matthew'? Then It’s because the Yanita royal family at that time was dominated by three families, Cuisul, Matthew and Hilber... Our ancestors are direct descendants of the Matthew family.”
"That's it."
Chen Lun suddenly realized.
"Jack, tell me about the surface."
the queen suddenly asked.
"Will humans on the mainland now be invaded by extraordinary creatures and other civilizations?"
Chen Lun thought for a while, shook his head, and said in a deep voice:
"Now the earth's surface has been unified by the empire and ruled by the Sun Royal Family. In addition, there are seven righteous churches that suppress the entire territory... Extraordinary creatures almost only exist in the spiritual world, and other civilizations have long since perished in the long river of history."
The queen was stunned.
After a while, he smiled slightly.
Chen Lun was amazed by the other party's smile. At this moment, Queen Kaplan seemed to have an indescribable charm.
"The Royal Family of the Sun?"
the queen asked immediately.
"Yes, the Cuisul family who believe in the Sun God Fierce Father..."
Chen Lun explained.
Queen Kaplan's eyes narrowed, and she said suddenly:
"André Tresur, has He fallen?"
"No...the Sun King still rules the empire."
Chen Lun answered truthfully.
The Queen took a deep breath and murmured:
"It's been more than four thousand years... I didn't expect that we are the ancestors of the Yanita civilization. They rule the contemporary surface civilization and enjoy flowers and sunshine, but we are trapped underground and will never see the light of day."
He shook his head mockingly.
"Not only did our martyred father abandon us here, he also sent a 'gatekeeper' to guard the only way to the surface... The Matthews were unwilling to accept it. A hundred years ago, the four previous queens joined forces to attack the 'gate', but they failed It was not my first attempt to return in failure, but I already knew that if Matthew wanted to return to the surface, he must obtain the forgiveness of his father... There is little hope for other methods."
A long while.
Queen Kaplan raised her head and asked in a deep voice:
"Jack, I want to ask you a favor."
"Speak, Your Majesty."
Chen Lun said politely.
"If you find our 'Lightborn' on the surface, please help them as much as possible. The eastern residents and I will definitely repay your kindness."
Queen Kaplan raised her hand, revealing the black sun mark on the back of her hand.
"This is the symbol of the 'Lightborn'. They have established a secret organization on the surface called the 'Scorching Sun Cross Society'."
Chen Lun was stunned for a moment.
The figure of the Silver Dragon Witch suddenly flashed in his mind.
‘That’s right! Noah’s mother, the Witch Crown also has such a mark on the back of her hand...’ (End of Chapter)
