Chapter 464 Lightborn
The accident happened too suddenly, with no more than one second between the warning from spiritual intuition and the arrival of the attack, which meant that the enemy seemed to have premeditated it and blocked the mysterious perception through some means.
Even with Chen Lun's weight and full-level spiritual intuition, it has been greatly weakened.
In a hurry, he knew that the first thing to do at this moment was to ensure the safety of the prince, so he lifted up his windbreaker jacket, like grabbing a black steel curtain, blocking the surrounding broken wood chips and metal fragments, as well as the powerful shock wave. .
Puff puff puff...
There was a constant muffled sound.
But just when Chen Lun wanted to raise his hand to grab the prince's arm and use teleportation to take him away from here, a dazzling golden light exploded, and the powerful thrust was accompanied by high temperature and burned him away instantly!
Biba……
Chen Lun inserted the silver cane into the ground and tried his best to maintain his balance. However, he was still pushed backwards by the shock wave and slid tens of meters.
The remaining smoke rose from his body, making him frown. Fortunately, he has [Hell Resistance] and is extremely immune to high temperatures. Fortunately, he was not injured.
Looking up, Chen Lun couldn't help but be startled.
The road next to the Fire Pattern Square was already in chaos. Crowds and passing carriages took a detour and fled. Many imperial guards patrolling nearby came after hearing the news.
In the empty space in the middle of the road, the remains of a carriage and the bodies of four horses were burning with fire. Prince Dazlet stood there with a calm face, surrounded by five tall figures shrouded in golden armor.
The tops of the helmets of these five people are decorated with white feathers of unknown birds that are half a meter long. The white cloaks behind them are flapping, and there is also a sun face tattooed on them that symbolizes the royal family. Each of them holds a handle made of rays of light. The piercing sword exudes a terrifying aura all the time.
‘Mythical power… these are the five Sun Saints! ’
Chen Lun was secretly shocked.
Although he knew that there would be strong protection around the prince, he did not expect that there would be five saints... With such terrifying protection, who in the royal city could kill him? !
What was confronting the prince at this moment was a group of men and women wearing cheap linen shirts. There were twelve of them in total. Each of them had light spots all over their body, and they had a look of solemnity and hatred on their faces.
‘These assassins are all extraordinary people of the fifth sequence of the solar system [Children of Light]…’
Chen Lun's eyes narrowed.
Through Peep's investigation, he immediately learned the information about these people.
At the same time, he also noticed that there seemed to be a black sun brand tattoo on the back of each assassin's right hand.
‘That pattern is the identity symbol of the ‘Lightborn’ in Matthew’s land... These people all come from the underground, and they are all members of the ‘Scorching Sun Cross Society’! ’
Chen Lun thought of the information he had received from Queen Kaplan and connected the information instantly.
Just when he was guessing the purpose of these people's plan to attack the prince, the battle suddenly started. He only heard a clear clang, and a wave of heat suddenly hit his face.
boom!
However, one of the five high-ranking knights guarding the prince turned into a golden light, suddenly moved in front of the attackers, and slashed out with a sword.
This sword struck with terrifying power, like an overwhelming force. The golden sword passed by, making a harsh scream and igniting the air, creating a terrifying wave of fire.
At the same time, the surrounding environment distorted and fluctuated, as if the picture was covered with a layer of blue frosted glass, blurring... This came from the high-ranking knight next to another prince. He raised his hand and emitted hazy light, directly illuminating the battlefield. Dragged into the shallow layer of the spiritual world.
Buzz! !
The fire waves were like ripples after falling stones in a lake, one after another, even on top of each other, passing over the bodies of several assassins in an instant.
Their expressions suddenly changed drastically, and they wanted to use their sequential abilities and turn into light to dodge, but the wave of fire had already rushed over. The four assassins were directly burned into ashes in the wave of fire, and they did not even have time to scream.
Seeing this, the remaining assassins seemed to know that they had no way to escape, and immediately planned to give it a try... I saw eight men and women spread their arms, slightly raising their heads, with enthusiastic and slightly sad expressions.
"Dazlight Trisul! In order to win the favor of the Sun King, you betrayed your brother, and now you act recklessly and conduct a series of cruel and inhumane human experiments in the occupied areas in order to complete the so-called 'Light Seed Project' ...The Empire of the Sun and even the entire continent will repeat themselves like the 'earth disaster' four thousand years ago, and the world will fall into a dark age because of you!"
One of the Lightborn shouted hysterically.
Buzz buzz...
Their bodies bloomed with dazzling light one by one.
"The sun!"
"Hot sun!!"
They shouted, and beams of light fell from the sky, shrouding Prince Dazlet and the five high-ranking knights.
Those light pillars contain terrifying high-temperature energy, which seems to be able to purify all sins and evil spirits in the world, from the body to the soul.
"How can sinners blinded by desire and ignorance know my great ambition..."
The prince looked calm, indifferent to the beams of light falling from the sky.
He stood there with his hands behind his back.
"Small fluorescence, trying to kill the sun."
A high-ranking knight shrouded in golden armor said indifferently.
He raised the long sword made of light.
"The Holy Guard is bathed in light and kills enemies for the king."
"Death!"
The two high-ranking knights beside him took a step forward and each swung a sword.
They cut out the terrifying sword light that shook the space, and the flames seemed to fill the entire sight. Two flaming golden air waves pushed across each other, instantly shattering the light pillars, merging, and turning into a shock wave to crush the remaining eight. assassin.
Although they were tens of meters apart, Chen Lun still felt a burning sting and burning sensation all over his body. His vision was filled with white gold, which was dazzling and difficult to breathe. He couldn't help but use [Spiritual Breath] and [Five Senses] at the same time, so that he could adapt to the sudden change in time.
It wasn't until I retreated a certain distance that I felt better. At the same time, I secretly lamented the mythical power of the two saint-level knights, which was really terrifying.
The burning of the slash lasted for nearly twenty seconds, and this area in the spiritual world slowly returned to its original state... When Chen Lun came back to his senses, the assassins had long since lost their bodies, and Prince Dazlet seemed to have no time left. Paying attention to Chen Lun, he turned his head and gave instructions to the five high-ranking knights with a solemn expression.
Buzz!
The surrounding vision slowly faded away from the blue and returned to the real world.
There was noise and noise in my ears again. The original street was already blocked by countless imperial guards. Some noisy onlookers crowded outside and looked here curiously.
When they heard that the prince was attacked, the residents in the central area showed no concern. Some of the richly dressed people even kept cursing the assassin. This shows that Dazlet has a very high prestige among the people.
Chen Lun calmed down, put on a brand new windbreaker to cover the burned clothes inside, adjusted his hat, and then walked towards the prince.
However, he had just taken two steps when a golden light instantly moved in front of him, and the golden sword was pointed straight at his throat.
When he raised his head, he could only see the closed visor of the knight in golden armor, as if there were a pair of indifferent eyes overlooking him in those pores.
"Stop or die."
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes and immediately knew that these high-ranking knights had included him among the assassin suspects... After all, the prince was riding in the same carriage with him before the attack. It is difficult not to make people doubt whether he was also Participated in the assassination.
However, at this moment, a voice came from behind the high-ranking knight:
"Let him come here, Jack can't be an assassin."
The high-ranking knight immediately retracted the sword of light. With a buzzing sound, the sword turned into golden light points and disappeared. His upright figure slowly turned around, caressing his chest and lowering his head.
Chen Lun kept his face calm, passed the knight, and came to the prince.
Behind the prince, the other four knights in golden armor remained silent, standing motionless like tall statues.
"I didn't expect such an episode to disturb our pleasant conversation..."
Prince Dazlet chuckled lightly, seemingly not caring about the assassination just now.
He patted Chen Lun's shoulder gently and praised:
"Although the accident happened suddenly, I can see it clearly. I am very happy that you can think of protecting my safety as soon as possible."
"As a member of the Imperial Tribunal, this is my duty."
Chen Lun lowered his head and said.
"We have just experienced life and death, so there is no need to speak to me as a subordinate for the time being... The carriage was destroyed and we cannot send you back to the generous church area. I will let the two 'Bathing Light Holy Guards' accompany you. ”
The prince said as if talking to a friend.
Chen Lun glanced at the four knights in golden armor behind him, and thought to himself, it turns out that this kind of saint-level knight who protects the prince personally is called the Yuguang Holy Guard.
The heritage of the royal family is indeed extraordinary.
He shook his head and declined the prince's kindness.
"No need, Your Highness, this place is not far from the Generosity Church. I can just go back by myself."
When the prince saw this, he didn't force it, he just nodded lightly.
Chen Lun saluted Dazlater again and left immediately.
But when he passed through the layers of imperial guards and came to the outer road, he suddenly noticed something and turned around to look in one direction.
In the crowd, a middle-aged bald man was watching. His originally angry expression froze, his eyes changed slightly, he immediately closed his mouth, turned around and left silently.
But during this process, the man seemed to notice someone watching secretly, and he also turned his head and looked at Chen Lun.
The other party was obviously surprised, and there was even a hint of panic in his eyes, but he hid it well, looked away, and continued to leave as if nothing had happened.
Chen Lun was a little stunned in his heart.
The reason why he looked at this man was because of his destiny ability... At that moment, he clearly noticed that among the people around him, the destiny of one person suddenly changed drastically. This change was quite significant. It's weird, like a certain life trajectory suddenly took a 180-degree turn.
He has been able to preliminarily interpret the trajectory of fate, and he knows that a turning point of this degree is tantamount to the person dying on the spot and resurrecting instantly, completing a Nirvana-like sublimation...
However, that man is just an ordinary person.
This seems very strange.
Thinking of the assassination incident that just happened, Chen Lun suddenly came up with a reasonable guess:
'Perhaps not all of the twelve assassins just died... One of them used some means to be resurrected through the body of the onlookers and escaped from a certain death situation. ’
Chen Lun was not sure about this speculation, but he still kept an eye on it.
The fingers behind his back moved slightly, and a section of his index finger disappeared out of thin air, and on the back of the neck of the bald man who left quickly, a pale scale sheen flashed away.
He planted "snake parasitism" on the other party's body.
Chen Lun was ready to test it out before making a plan. If you guess wrong, let the snake parasitize and destroy itself. No one will know anyway. If the bet is right, this will be a great achievement.
After doing this, he calmly wielded his silver cane and walked slowly along the roadside back to the Bountiful Church area.

That night.
Chen Lun and his men had dinner together, and after listening to Alex play a piece of music, he and Floy walked hand in hand in the square of the church district.
The two of them were bathed in the faint moonlight, and the atmosphere was quiet and warm.
"Sorry, Floy, I've been a little busy at this time and haven't been able to take time to spend with you."
"No need to apologize, my lord."
Floy smiled slightly and said the solemn address in a friendly tone. She raised her hand and pushed a strand of pale golden hair that was blown away by the breeze behind her ear, turned her head, and stared at Chen Lun quietly with her beautiful lavender eyes.
"I know you do all this for a peaceful life."
She plucked up the courage to come closer and took the arm of the man she loved with both hands. Floy was a little lost, and after a while he asked again:
"Can we live in peace?"
"Of course."
Chen Lun chuckled lightly.
"I promised you that I would take you to see beautiful scenery you have never seen before. At that time, there should be only the two of us, without anyone else or any other interruptions."
"Yeah."
Floy raised her eyes and looked at him, her lips filled with joy.
The two walked quietly in the square. In the distance, only the Sombra Doll wearing a huge black cloak and the black cats of the Black Cat Samurai were patrolling quietly.
Sombra turned a blind eye to the two people in the square. Only the black cats would stop at a distance and silently salute.
"Have you still had that strange dream recently?"
Chen Lun suddenly asked.
He originally just asked casually, but unexpectedly Floy nodded slightly.
"It has been a long time since I stopped dreaming, but it happened again two days ago. There was still darkness in the dream, and the familiar voice spoke repeated words again... telling me not to go any further."
Chen Lun's expression became solemn.
He can now basically confirm that this dream is very important to Floy, maybe it is some kind of warning from Lady Silence...that is, the moon goddess Margaret.
‘What do you mean by not going any further? ’
While thinking about it, Chen Lun suddenly stopped.
Floy on the side was a little confused.
"Someone came to visit..."
Chen Lun said softly.
There was solemnity in his eyes, because just now, the snake parasite he planted during the day suddenly lost contact... At the same time, a carriage drove into the Bountiful Church area.
"An enemy?"
Floy's eyes became sharp, and the gentleness on his face gradually disappeared.
"Not sure yet."
Chen Lun replied.
"But you will find out soon. You go and inform the others, but there is no need to make a big fanfare. You can meet this guest who comes to visit me at night alone with me later."
Floy hummed, turned around and left obediently.
Chen Lun adjusted his hat and walked towards the gate with his silver cane. (End of chapter)
