Chapter 438 The investigation mission ends
Chen Lun thought for a moment.
'It is unlikely that the silver dragon witch Blaise is a lightborn. She belongs to the Stars faction and is not a saint who has transferred to the path... The reason why she has the brand of the black sun is probably because her husband, who had listened to him before, As mentioned before, Noah's father is a member of the Cross of the Sun, and the Witch Crown has probably joined the organization for this reason. ’
His mind was spinning, and he quickly had a question.
‘But… hasn’t the Sun Cross Society been eliminated by the empire long ago? My Majesty the Witch told me personally that even the god they believed in, Sun, had been banished and forgotten by people. ’
At this time, Queen Kaplan continued to speak:
"The descendants of 'light descendants' born in the land of Matthew are few and far between. They are sent to the settlements with the best conditions for education and training since childhood. They are Matthew's hope and shoulder the responsibility of saving their homeland... But unfortunately, After the 'Lightborn' go to the surface, they will be disconnected from here. They can't come back, and we can't go up... But the Matthew people firmly believe that they have been working hard for their hometown and looking for a way out. "< br>
Chen Lun listened to the other party's words, and for some reason, he thought of the small town of Kazite in the dream world.
The situations between the two are so similar. The black cat clan that Nata belongs to is just like the "Lightborn" in Matthew's land. They also ran away from their homeland to find a way to save their hometown.
‘Every day I think about it, and every night I dream… If the Cat Town in the dream world has a prototype in the real world, then it must be Matthew’s Land. ’
Chen Lun was a little emotional.
He then communicated with the queen for a while, learning some secret history about past eras, and the other party also learned many things about the surface of the earth from him.
Finally, Chen Lun asked Queen Kaplan for some information about the "Dragon of Light" and the "King of Giants".
"These are two ancient gods who were born in the first era. As two of the most powerful existences at that time, they were revered and believed by many civilizations and creatures... It is a pity that by the fourth era, the two ancient gods Fallen one after another.”
Queen Kaplan elaborated calmly.
"Among them, the 'Dragon of Light' died in the 'War of the Sun God', but no one knows the specific process and subsequent events. There are only a few descriptions of him in history... As for the 'King of Giants' , it is rumored that his death involves several other true gods, Speaking of which, He has a deep connection with the land of Matthew, because after his death, his blood turned into a 'dark river', which is the source that gave birth to our 'Dark descendants'... But the rest is missing. It is said that the creation of A new god.”
Chen Lun was quite surprised when he heard such a secret past.
‘It turns out that the underground river in the land of Matthew was transformed by the blood of the King of Giants. No wonder it has the ability to create life... Speaking of which, such authority and characteristics are very similar to the flesh and blood faction...'
He couldn't help but think of the wonders he saw in the depths of the blood sea in the fairyland that symbolized the path of flesh and blood...
The dried corpse of the giant, and the rose flower parasitic on the neck.
‘Could it be that...Mrs. Rose was born from the remains of the King of Giants? ’
Chen Lun made a bold guess.
After a while.
"I am honored to be able to communicate with you, Her Majesty the Queen... and I am also very grateful for your explanation."
When Chen Lun saw that the conversation was almost finished, he stood up and saluted.
He took out the wooden box he had brought in and handed it over with both hands.
"I heard that you like sweets, so Ms. Oriana asked me to offer you some plum berries. I hope you won't dislike it."
Queen Kaplan shook her head slightly when she saw this.
"No need to be polite, I also got what I want to know from you... Put your things down, you are interested."
Chen Lun gently placed the wooden box on the table, thought for a while, and took out some milk candies from the blood poem ring.
This is a small snack purchased by Connie. She usually grabs a handful before going out. Occasionally she eats one to satisfy her "milk addiction". Unexpectedly, it has come in handy now.
"What is this?"
Queen Kaplan looked a little curious.
He held a golden ball-shaped candy with his white fingers, looked at it and asked aloud.
Thanks to the commercial development of the royal city, those candy companies competed fiercely and put a lot of effort into packaging. Tin foil papers of various colors were affixed to the outer shell of the candy, which deeply attracted the attention of Queen Kaplan.
"Well...this is a snack on the surface, and it tastes sweet."
Chen Lun explained briefly.
"Snacks?"
The queen raised an eyebrow.
"Snacks are foods other than meals, Her Majesty the Queen... There are many kinds of them, and this candy is one of them, especially loved by women."
Chen Lun said slowly and patiently.
After hearing this, the Queen nodded as if she understood, then gently opened the wrapping paper, put the milk candy inside into her mouth, tasted it carefully, and a happy smile gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Since it is food other than dinner, and its appearance is so gorgeous, it must be expensive... I like your expensive gift very much, Jack."
Queen Kaplan nodded and cast an appreciative look at Chen Lun.
[Kaplan’s favorability towards you has increased! Currently for closeness! 】
Chen Lun then received the prompt from the panel.
He couldn't help but dumbfounded. He didn't expect Queen Matthew to be bribed by him with just a few candies... Compared to the saint in a certain mage tower, this favorability was simply for nothing.
‘Some high-ranking people seem to be easy to get along with, but in fact they use different methods to extort money from their juniors. I won’t say who they are, so as not to feel retaliated...’
Chen Lun secretly complained.
"As reciprocity goes, I'll give you a gift too, Jack."
Queen Kaplan took out a tiny flower as big as a finger. It was dark and deep in color, with a gray-black luster and seven petals in total.
"This is the 'Flower of Darkness' that blooms on the bank of the 'Dark River'. It can improve your resistance to mystery. Although it is not a precious thing, it is rare and quite rare."
Chen Lun looked calm and took the black flower respectfully.
He took off his hat and put it on his chest as a gentleman.
"Thank you for your gift, Her Majesty."
The queen waved her hand and immediately indicated that she still had some trivial matters to deal with.
Chen Lun resigned wisely. Before leaving, he used his [Five Senses] and without looking back, he sensed that Queen Kaplan was playing with the candies, looking intoxicated.

After a few simple exchanges with Ms. Oriana, Chen Lun returned to the world.
He immediately took out the "Flower of Darkness" given to him by Queen Kaplan.
[Extraordinary Object-Flower of Darkness (Disposable Consumable)]
Item description: The flowers blooming on the banks of the dark river in the land of Matthew contain the power of flesh and blood and the black sun. After taking them, the mysterious resistance can be moderately increased.
The panel did not indicate whether it could be prepared or forged as an extraordinary material. Chen Lun only had this one on hand, so he stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.
Immediately, he felt his body heat up slightly. With the full-level passive [Key of Life] to control his body, he obviously felt that his body had been strengthened.
‘The mysterious resistance is equivalent to the magic resistance attribute in the game, and it is even more resistant now...’
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
He straightened his black hat, then went to the roadside, called a carriage, and headed directly to the Judgment Building in the central area.
An hour later.
The secret room on the fifth highest floor of the Judgment Building.
Chen Lun and seven members of the investigation team were sitting around the table, with Chief McCollin in the chair.
Under the light of incandescent lamps, everyone had serious expressions.
"Jack, I have read your report... Although I do not agree with you acting alone, since you have mastered important information, I will not criticize you this time."
McColin said with a chuckle.
"Thank you for your tolerance, Chief McCallion."
Chen Lun lowered his head and said.
The other members looked very surprised when they heard the conversation between the two.
They didn't know about this. They were suddenly summoned this time, and everyone came with doubts. Unexpectedly, Captain Jack found important information single-handedly, which made them feel a little depressed.
"Jack, please recount the process of your investigation."
McColin looked straight and said to Chen Lun.
"Yes..."
Chen Lun nodded.
"The original investigation group was blocked in the fourth space of the dark world. The terrain there was almost impassable, so I found another way and planned to start from other aspects..."
He slowly spoke of his experience.
Of course, much information such as the land of Philip and Matthew is hidden here. It only explains how he entered the end of darkness and what he witnessed.
A long while.
"The black and red star... intercepted the figure polluting the insect wave alone..."
After hearing this, McColin looked solemn.
All the members present were a little stunned. They had no idea what Chen Lun was talking about, they just thought it was quite strange.
McColin suddenly thought of something and frowned.
He thought for a while, raised his head and said in a deep voice:
"Jack, do you have any definite evidence? It can prove that everything you witnessed is a real scene... It is a matter of great importance, and I need to give the prince an accurate answer."
Chen Lun noticed that everyone was paying attention, but he slowly shook his head.
Everyone's eyes looked slightly regretful, and the atmosphere was silent for a few seconds.
"I can share what I see and hear through my sequence ability..."
Chen Lun glanced at Chief McCollin.
As a high-ranking saint, the latter had quite a lot of experience and immediately understood what he meant.
"This is also a method...but your ability obviously cannot be used on me, is that right?"
McCallion said.
Chen Lun sighed and nodded.
In fact, his original idea was to use [Thought Transmission] to transmit the scene at the end of darkness to Chief McCallion's mind, so that by relying on the other party's status and right to speak, he could win the trust of the trial team and the prince.
But Chen Lun knew that his willpower was definitely not as strong as Chief McCollin, so this method would not work.
McColin obviously knew what Chen Lun meant. He thought for a moment, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
A tiny ball of light was born from His hand and floated in the air.
"The Seventh Logistics Team of the Tribunal, the Psychological Trauma Team, brought the 'Psychic Psychiatric Device' to the fifth floor of the headquarters building."
McCallion calmly gave the order.
Not for a moment.
The logistics team sent a crystal ball slightly larger than a fist.
McCallion pointed to the objects on the table and explained:
"This is an extraordinary thing used to detect the mental state of injured members. It comes from the extraordinary workshop of the asylum. Maybe you can use it as a medium to show the scene at the end of darkness."
Chen Lun didn't expect such a thing, so he nodded to the officer.
Immediately, he used [Thought Transmission] on the crystal ball.
[You cast thought transmission on the special target ‘psychic anaphora’! 】
【Will determination...】
[The target's will is 0 points, yours is 82 points, the judgment is successful! 】
Uh-huh!
Everyone immediately noticed that the transparent crystal ball on the table suddenly seemed to be stained with ink, and a circle of darkness spread from the central area.
Darkness gradually filled the entire crystal ball, and soon, a shocking picture slowly appeared...
White light suddenly appeared, illuminating the outline of the edge of darkness, and countless pale and ferocious insect-men surged towards them. A single figure stood in front of the insect swarm, raising a decapitating sword with golden light flowing, and slashed it down. .
The insect tide turned into nothingness, only for more to emerge a moment later.
Tracing its origin is the huge dark red star standing majestically in the mid-air at the end. The dark and thick substance dripping from its surface creates deep pits on the ground, like a wide lake, and those insect-men are born from the bubbles one after another... …
Everyone in the secret room stared at the picture on the crystal ball and remained silent for a long time.
A long while.
McColin's face was very solemn. He took a deep breath, and his eyes finally stayed on the back blocking the insect tide for a moment, then he raised his head and said to Chen Lun:
"This is indeed a key piece of information. Although it cannot be confirmed based on the picture alone, I think it is enough to convince other presiding judges... Jack, I will report this matter to His Majesty the Prince, and investigate the spiritual world in advance. Stop for now and wait for further notification.”
"Yes, Chief McCollin."
Chen Lun nodded.

One afternoon two days later.
Chen Lun was resting in the Fengshen Church area when he suddenly received a summons from Chief McCallion. He was slightly surprised when the messenger of the trial team was a huge extraordinary sheep carrying a mailbox from the spirit world.
After reading the letter, Chen Lun stuffed some of Anton's rations into it and attached two gold pounds as a tip. The messenger seemed very happy and gave him a couple of friendly kisses.
Afterwards, Chen Lun rushed to the trial building as soon as possible.
This time Chief McCallion summoned him alone.
The two sat in the fifth-floor secret room again, and McColin said straight to the point:
"Jack, the prince already knows the source of the turmoil in the spiritual world, the black-red star from the end of darkness... Several of our presiding judges, as well as senior officials from the royal family and senior officials from the shelter, have held several meetings, and it is basically certain that he is The mythical creature form of the ancient god 'Father of Darkness' Distedak..."
Chen Lun had already guessed this, so he was not too surprised.
He just listened with a solemn expression.
MacLean then said:
"But several response plans were overturned by the prince. He hopes that the empire can exercise restraint in the future. The reason is...the power of the Tribunal alone is not enough to kill the 'Father of Darkness', so the only thing we have to do is Try to intercept the spreading wave of contamination bugs.”
Chen Lun frowned slightly calmly.
He always felt that something was wrong. The prince's decision seemed to have no problem, but it seemed a little deliberate.
‘If it is just to prevent the spread of pollution, it will treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Prince Dazlater doesn’t seem to have a conservative character... Could it be because of Arnold? ’
Chen Lun guessed.
Chief MacLean immediately stated that the prince would announce a new decree soon, calling on the seven righteous churches and the extraordinary forces in the empire to go to the spiritual world to hunt the Didak insect tide.
‘The main quest of version 2.0 is here…’
Chen Lun took a deep breath.
At the same time, he also received a reminder that [Main Mission: The Second Phase of Spirit World Investigation Operation] was completed, and the mission rewards were distributed accordingly. (End of chapter)
