Chapter 463 Meeting and Assassination
Late afternoon.
The sun gradually sets, and the lazy yellow light slants on the exquisite buildings in the central area. The rows of tall buildings divide the shadows, which seem to be symmetrical with the light, giving people a soul-shaking visual impact.
"Jack, you can come and sit more often when you have time. If there is nothing urgent, I will usually be at home."
General Vance sent Chen Lun to the door and said with a smile.
After a day of getting along harmoniously, the relationship between the two became closer.
"No problem, General."
Chen Lun responded with a polite smile.
He held a silver cane in his left hand, and with a slight shake of his right hand, a bottle of red wine quietly appeared in his palm. The dark green carved wine bottle was very exquisite, and there was an ivory horse head on the oak stopper at the mouth of the bottle.
"Sorry, I forgot to deliver the gift immediately when I came to visit... This is an extraordinary wine that I personally brewed. It has the effect of getting rid of diseases and prolonging life. You and your wife can drink more."
Chen Lun handed over the red wine.
General Vance had no resistance to fine wine, and with his straightforward personality, he took the bottle of wine directly.
"I didn't know you were capable of this, Jack."
The general said a little surprised, then smiled.
"That's fine. You drank a bottle of my favorite wine today, so I'll accept it."
Chen Lun smiled, put on his hat, and bowed slightly to the general.
"I'll take my leave now, General."
He turned and left.
But before they had gone far, two paper airplanes flew crookedly overhead and landed on the ground in front of them.
Chen Lun looked in the direction the paper plane came from, and through the iron fence, he found General Vance's two daughters half-hiding behind the window sill at the window on the third floor of the apartment, looking at him shyly.
Chen Lun bent down and picked up two paper airplanes. He opened them and saw that they were written with two different colors of ink. The blue ink said:
"Dear sir, can we be friends?"
The content of another paper airplane is black writing:
"Sir, Guli Lenz has fallen in love with you. She told me more than a hundred times that she has been attracted by your handsomeness and gentlemanly temperament... and let me tell you a little secret. The reason why she suddenly appeared during lunch Just because I fantasize about having sex with you, why do I have such a slutty sister? Of course, if you want, I also want to be friends with you, okay?”
< br>
Chen Lun couldn't help but smile. He looked up again and found that the two girls were still looking at him, with blushing faces and expectations in their eyes.
He suddenly felt a little emotional. This might be the best time for girls. They always have an inexplicable affection for those good-looking members of the opposite sex.
Taking off his hat, Chen Lun nodded slightly toward the window on the third floor of the apartment, then turned and left. Looking at his back, the two girls shouted excitedly.
"Pasha, did he nod just now? You saw it too!"
"Yeah, Mr. Jack smiled at us."
They looked at each other and giggled.
Perhaps it was because the sound was too noisy, but she was startled and quickly attracted Mrs. Cone's attention, and her mother's angry scolding came from outside the door:
"Be quiet, you two crazy girls! How can you get married in the future if you don't look like a lady all day long?!"
The two little girls were startled, quickly closed the window and jumped into bed.
Chen Lun was walking back.
He recalled the topics he had discussed with General Vance. Among them, he suddenly had new conjectures about Prince Dazlet's series of experiments in the occupied territories.
‘Before the start of the Western War, the prince tried his best to promote this matter... Even the assassination of the duke had a hidden secret. It was most likely that the prince directed and acted himself. ’
Chen Lun had suspected the prince's motives at that time, but he really couldn't guess.
Now, he seemed to understand something.
‘Could it be that...the prince planned to implement the light seed plan from that moment on? Launching the Western War and capturing the land of the Anlong United Kingdom was actually to facilitate experiments there...use the occupied areas as a 'petri dish' for the Light Seed Project? But what is the ultimate goal of the light seeding plan? Improve military strength and prepare for empire expansion? Or to resist the wave of pollution in the spiritual world...'
Chen Lun's eyes were deep.
He always had an intuition that there was a deeper truth behind this matter that was unknown.

The prince's summons came faster than Chen Lun predicted. The next day, Steward Babaya came to the Fengshen Church District and conveyed the prince's wishes to him.
"Mr. Jack, the prince has important secret matters and is summoning members of the Imperial Judgment Team... Please be sure to go to the palace conference hall before two o'clock in the afternoon."
"Okay, I understand. I'd like to trouble you to make a trip in person, Mr. Steward."
Chen Lun met Babaya in the conference room in the church area. After the two briefly exchanged a few words, he personally sent him off.
Looking at the manager's back as he quickly left, Chen Lun stood there and took a deep breath.
‘Is the main plot of the Dark World coming...’
He turned back to the conference room and called Connie, asking him to inform Floy that he had something urgent to do in the afternoon and would go to the palace.
Connie agreed and immediately raised her skirt to salute.
It was soon afternoon.
Chen Lun rode the carriage still driven by Golov to the palace. After arriving at the destination, a young steward came up to him and told him in a low voice that the prince temporarily summoned the heads of the various royal cities of the Church of the Seven Gods because Chen Lun Lun's other identity is the person in charge of the Royal City of the Generous Council, so I would like to inform him here.
Although he was a little surprised, he also felt that it was reasonable. After all, the source of the turmoil in the spiritual world had been investigated by him. According to the prince's response, the next step was to gather the power of all major forces to curb the spread of the polluting insect tide.
Passing through two huge arched doors, he followed the young steward and turned around and arrived at the conference room on the side of the banquet hall.
At this moment, the prince was already sitting on the main seat. On both sides of the square conference table were the heads of the Church of the Seven Gods and the presiding judges of the Imperial Judgment Team. Further away, rows of auditoriums were filled with ordinary members of the trial team.
Logically speaking, Chen Lun should sit in the gallery, but because of his generous parliamentary status, he was qualified to sit at the conference table and participate in the meeting with all the high-ranking people.
"Here you go, Jack, sit down."
The prince turned to look, smiled very kindly, and extended his hand to signal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Lun saluted, and then sat on the seat of the Generous Council in the eyes of all the big shots.
After waiting for a while, when everyone was almost there, the head steward Babaya closed the door, and the surrounding light dimmed a little.
"To make a long story short, I won't waste time with my opening remarks."
Prince Dazlet stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly.
"According to the in-depth investigation by the Imperial Tribunal, the source of the turmoil in the spiritual world has been clear, and it is the ancient god who was born in ancient times... the 'Father of Darkness' Distedak."
The faces of everyone present became more solemn.
The high-ranking people around the conference table knew exactly what this honorable name meant. It was an ancient god, a terrifying existence with a long history that could compete with the gods at the end of the sequence.
"We don't know his purpose. After all, we can't guess what the gods are thinking. Maybe it's because he covets the world? Or maybe he has already lost control and fallen into a state of chaos and ignorance. All actions only follow instinct... …But no matter what the truth is, given the current situation of the empire, there is nothing that can be done against this ancient god.”
The prince glanced at everyone and sighed softly.
"I have already reported this matter to my father. His will to me is that I cannot easily provoke the 'Father of Darkness', or even alarm him... So what we can do now is to try to contain the spread from the dark world. The wave of pollution coming out... At this stage, traces of pollution sources and various polluting creatures can be found from the deep to the shallow layers of the spiritual world. They have affected the living world through the turbulent flow of the spiritual world. If the situation cannot be controlled, it will be harmful to the empire and even the entire world. The mainland has caused terrible harm!”
"Your Majesty the Prince, with all due respect... the territory of the spiritual world is too broad, and its edges have not yet been explored. Even the Seven Gods Church's joint asylum and the Imperial Judgment Team cannot cover the entire spiritual world. So let's talk about it again How to defend? ”
A middle-aged man with short brown hair spoke at the seat of the History and Ceremony Association.
He is the president of the Royal City branch, Eberhard, the fourth saint of the earth system.
"President Eberhard, what you said makes sense, but that's the fact. If I don't take measures in time, the final result will only be a disaster for the continent... far more than the disaster during the Red Disaster!"
The prince knocked on the table and said.
The thumping sound echoed in the conference room, and everyone present could feel the oppressive atmosphere.
"Even if it is impossible to defend across the board, we must try to contain the pollution as long as we can, so that we can buy more time to think of other solutions."
"But Your Majesty, I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower... Even if we draw from the personnel stationed in churches in various places, and add the elite team of extraordinary people, we can't get many people, but from the intelligence in the file, it seems that it comes from the darkness There are tens of millions of pollutants at the end, and they are still producing and birthing new waves of pollution every minute and every second.”
A dark-skinned woman in her thirties said solemnly at the seat of the Hailing regiment.
He has thin braids, circular tattoos with horizontal lines on his cheeks, and thick dark green lip gloss on his lips.
This is also a member of the Four Sequence Saints, High Priest Camacho of the Hailing Regiment.
Everyone present fell into silence.
Camacho is telling the truth, and there is another important reason, that is, most of the Church of the Seven Gods are unwilling to contribute. After all, this kind of thing is full of uncertainty, and it is likely to damage the extraordinary warfare in the church. force, resulting in a decline in overall strength.
"Your Majesty, I have a proposal."
At this time, everyone suddenly heard a magnetic young voice.
Turning around, he saw that the young man in the black hat named Jack was speaking at the seat of the Generous Council.
"Say it, Jack."
The prince nodded slightly.
Chen Lun glanced at the many big guys at the conference table and said in a deep voice:
"We may be able to expand our acceptance of 'immortal strangers' and allow them to be the main force in resisting pollution... These undead have the characteristics of being unable to die and are extremely keen on adventure and fighting, so they are perfect."
< br>
"The main force? Mr. Jack Spate, you may be taking it too much for granted... The strength of the polluted creatures is extraordinary, especially the Didak bug-man called the 'Son of the Ancient God'. Even mid-level transcendent beings can't compete with it." , letting those weak foreigners act as the main force is simply impossible to resist.”
Eberhard said calmly.
"President Eberhard, I don't think so."
Chen Lun chuckled lightly.
"The Immortal Strangers are very weak at this stage, but their potential is huge. Have you ever seen someone who was promoted from Sequence Nine to Sequence Seven in just one month? I have seen it... He is my student Polaris is also a member of the undead."
He said, spreading his hands.
"As long as you give them enough pressure and a certain amount of time, this group of undead can become an immortal 'high wall', intercepting the spirit world and resisting the tide of pollution for us."
"Like what happened during the red disaster? Our church also recruited many undead strangers as mercenaries to attack the red disaster areas... The effect was indeed good."
The person in charge of the Royal City of the Moon Church, an elderly woman shrouded in a black nun's uniform, spoke.
His name is Olmedo, and he was once a "Bright Moon Sister" in the monastery. He was later transferred out by the church and served as the head of the Royal City branch.
"I have also heard about Mr. Jack's deeds. It is said that during the Western War, you relied on an 'Immortal Stranger Army' of two thousand people to turn the tide and regain a lot of advantages for the Imperial Army."
< br>
At the seat of the Qunxing Sect, a saintly but charming silver-haired woman spoke. She smiled tenderly at Chen Lun and said in a pleasant voice.
This saint's name is Papa, and he is the star priest who came to the royal city in recent years to serve as the person in charge.
"What a joke, Your Majesty Papa."
Chen Lun responded with a polite smile.
"Mr. Jack, this is indeed a good idea, but I have a question... Most of the undead strangers are still in low order. How can they penetrate the cracks in the spiritual world and enter it? They can't even do this. , how to resist the wave of pollution? ”
High Priest Camacho of the Hailing Regiment cast his gaze and asked calmly.
"This is a tough question."
Eberhard echoed.
Seeing everyone's gazes, Chen Lun secretly said, "Shameless". These high-ranking people are actually pretending to be confused. Which company doesn't have potions or props that can enhance perception?
Otherwise, why would players from the previous version 2.0 participate in the main storyline?
Therefore, these guys are probably planning to rip off the royal family and get some benefits before agreeing to the plan to resist the pollution wave.
Chen Lun glanced at the prince, who kept smiling and nodded towards him, as if to express encouragement or some kind of tacit approval.
He then continued:
"I have some say in this. After all, I am also a member of the Imperial Judgment Team. When entering the spirit world, there is a specially prepared potion that can temporarily improve perception... I have also learned about this potion in depth, and its first version of the formula It’s not that precious, it can even be found in many documents , so I believe that in addition to the Tribunal and the Generous Council, the other major churches can easily prepare this potion... At that time, the undead strangers will only need to pay the cost price, and most of them will be happy to buy it and actively participate in the defense. to the pollution wave.”
Camacho from the Hailing Regiment raised his eyebrows and gave Chen Lun a meaningful look.
Many of the high-ranking people at the conference table smiled and seemed to find it interesting. As for the hundreds of members of the trial team in the auditorium, they couldn't help but communicate in low voices. They clearly saw the feasibility of this proposal, and at the same time they also had some admiration for the young man named Jack.
"This is a good proposal, I think it is feasible."
Prince Dazlet finally spoke up.
And his words can be regarded as finalizing the final direction of the plan. The presiding judges at the conference table agreed one after another. Among the Seven Gods Church, the Sun Church, the Moon Church and the Generous Council had unanimous opinions. As for the remaining four, they had no choice but to Choose Agree.
"In this case, then everyone will report the content of the plan and try to implement it within a week... At the same time, I will also send people to assign this important task to every extraordinary force in the empire. No one can evade responsibility, because This is an unprecedented disaster..."
The prince said solemnly.

The meeting lasted the entire afternoon. After finalizing the specific direction, everyone continued to discuss details and improve them from all aspects.
The meeting didn't end until about 5:30 in the evening.
What Chen Lun didn't expect was that after the meeting, the prince cordially invited him to share a carriage and planned to take him back.
Although Golov was waiting outside the palace, since it was the prince who invited him, Chen Lun did not dare to shirk, so he agreed.
Sitting in the prince's car, he felt what luxury was. The golden interior was almost entirely inlaid with gold, and there were various jewelry and diamonds decorated by skilled craftsmen on the surfaces of tables, chairs and wooden cabinets.
"Jack, you performed well in the meeting. I really saw you right."
Prince Dazlet said with appreciation, and personally took out a bottle of golden wine from the refrigerator that looked like a jewelry cabinet, and poured a glass for Chen Lun.
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty the Prince. This is just what I should do."
After Chen Lun took it, he pretended to be flattered and thanked him humbly. In fact, he knew very well that even without his own proposal, the result of the final meeting would be like this, because this was the main plot of the previous life.
So I just "prompted" things that would have happened by myself, and took the credit on myself.
The prince shook his head.
Then he started chatting with him again in a calm tone.
"Jack, what do you think of Wangcheng?"
"It's very prosperous, Your Majesty the Prince."
Chen Lun took a sip of wine and responded softly.
"It is indeed prosperous. Historians call Kloster the most prosperous civilized city on the continent for tens of thousands of years..."
A faint smile appeared on Dazlet's lips.
The two of them spent the rest of the journey in a more relaxed atmosphere. Although Chen Lun didn't know the prince's specific intentions, he cooperated with him in communicating with him, and it could even be said that they had a pleasant conversation.
After some small talk, Chen Lun felt that for some reason, His Highness the Prince was hiding a lot in his heart and was unwilling to reveal it. At the same time, he felt that he had a contradictory feeling of longing to be understood.
Chen Lun also learned about some of Dazlet's lofty ambitions. The prince wanted to share the worries of his father, build a good empire, and defend the empire. For this reason, he was burdened with great pressure and burden, but he had no way to vent it.
On the other hand, although Dazlet gained a great position of power due to his status as a prince, he also lost a lot... He has had no friends since he was a boy, and it can be said that he should not have friends.
It can be seen from the tone of the prince's words that Dazlet seems to want to have a confidant who can listen to what he has to say. Even if he does not participate in the discussion, just listening is enough.
At this time, Chen Lun expressed tacitly that he was willing to be such a listener, even if he was not yet a friend of the prince.
"Jack, I think you are, do you know why?"
The prince smiled.
Chen Lun shook his head.
"Because you understand me."
The prince's hand holding the wine glass pointed at him.
"This is a wonderful intuition. I think you understand me better than anyone else."
"..."
Chen Lun found that the prince was looking at him with a determined look, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
At this time, the carriage was driving slowly near the Fire Pattern Square.
A sudden warning came from his spiritual intuition, and Chen Lun raised his silver cane the next second.
Clang! !
Golden light suddenly appeared, and a huge force came from the cane.
At the same time, there was a loud bang, and the carriage suddenly fell apart.
"Enemy attack!"
"Protect His Highness the Prince!"
The guards shouted angrily, and accompanied by the neighing of the horses, there were noises and screams all around.
Chen Lun couldn't help but be shocked, someone actually dared to assassinate the prince? !
