Chapter 476 Dead End
Five o'clock the next morning.
Chen Lun and Floy walked out of the secret interrogation room of the Sun Palace.
They were part of the third batch of guests who were released. After a long and detailed inquiry and recording, the basic suspicions were eliminated, but they were only temporarily freed. According to the palace interrogator, the two are not allowed to leave Tourmaline Kloster at will in the next time, otherwise they will be punished for treason.
Unless the real culprit is found, the movement control order will remain in place.
This rule is quite strict, but Chen Lun doesn't care.
If he wanted to leave quietly, it would probably be difficult for the royal family to notice. After all, even if you don't escape from the spirit world, you can teleport directly through the clouds, so the interrogator's warning only affects those ordinary guests.
The sky was slightly bright, showing a light blue haze, and the marble steps in front of the palace were shrouded in silence. Chen Lun and Floy walked side by side and silently descended the stairs.
Although they had not slept all night, the two of them were not tired. After all, the physical fitness of mid-level extraordinary people was already different from ordinary people, and Floy himself was more energetic at night.
"Noah...what are you going to do?"
Floy's ethereal voice said softly.
Chen Lun glanced at her and shook his head silently.
In fact, his thoughts are a little confused now, with many puzzles lingering in his mind, such as how Noah blocked the perception of the "Seal of Pale" and lurked outside the banquet room, and why he came here when he happened to be Arrested as an important suspect.
This misunderstanding is very serious and quite coincidental.
Chen Lun couldn't help but think of one person, that was Howard.
‘Although this guy has disappeared for a long time, there is absolutely no way he would give up interfering in my destiny... What happened to Noah is indeed like His handiwork. ’
But Chen Lun was not sure.
'It would be great if I could ask Noah in person, and I could also use Peeping Life to see if there are any traces of his fate being changed... It's a pity that he is now imprisoned in the Sun Dungeon, and I simply can't There is no qualification to enter. ’
He felt a little depressed when he thought about what happened to Noah.
It can be said that Noah was an outsider who was passively involved in this accident, but what awaited him was most likely to be executed. Facing this situation, Chen Lun also found it quite difficult.
Princess Anna's assassination attempt failed, and the prince's favorability towards him dropped to a freezing point. His status as the person in charge of the royal city of the Generous Council alone may not be enough for the prince to show mercy.
Even if he breaks up with the royal family and goes directly to the Sun Dungeon to rescue Noah, he may be powerless... Let’s not talk about what kind of defense force is deployed there. Even if he succeeds in rescuing Noah, he will probably not be able to leave the royal city by then. .
The royal family, the Imperial Tribunal, the Church of the Sun, and even the Church of the Seven Gods that supports the royal family... I don't know how many high-ranking people gathered in this "heart city of the empire". Although their own strength far exceeds that of the mid-rank, they are not arrogant enough to look down upon. degree of those in high positions.
Thinking about countermeasures in his mind, Chen Lun felt increasingly powerless.
He sighed secretly and whispered to Floy:
"I will find a way to rescue Noah."
Chen Lun held his silver cane and turned his head to look forward, his eyes like a deep pool.
"He is a teammate and a comrade we get along with every day... What's more, Noah has nothing to do with this incident and should not bear such a crime."
"Yeah."
Floy pursed her lips and nodded quietly.
Immediately, she raised her hands and gently held his palm, as if she wanted to comfort him.
"No matter what you do, I will follow you... If you need to use my power, just ask."
"Yes, Floy."
Chen Lun looked at her and smiled.
The two walked down the white marble steps and found a carriage parked on the street in front of them. The driver was leaning next to a horse, smoking a cigarette out of boredom. When he saw them coming, the driver quickly dropped his cigarette butts, stamped them out, and strode forward.
"Mr. Jack, please get in the car."
The coachman said directly.
Chen Lun was a little confused at first, but then he sensed something, so he nodded naturally and took Floy into the carriage.
As soon as you open the curtain and go in, you can smell a strong fragrance, which is the familiar woody citrus scent of Princess Anna.
"Jack, I don't have much time, so I'll keep the story short..."
The blond Princess Anna sat on the exquisite leather chair. Her face was still a little pale and weak, as if she was enduring pain, and she frowned slightly.
"The plan failed... I'm sorry for involving you. I may not take any further action, otherwise it will greatly increase the risk of exposure. In the next period of time, the Sun Cross Society will probably be attacked by Daz The power accumulated in Wright’s liquidation for nearly ten years will probably be lost.”
Princess Anna lowered her head. Under the weak light of the candle, her pale cheeks were mixed with shadows, looking particularly lonely.
She sighed softly, raised her head and reminded:
"Dazlet's mood is quite unstable right now. It can even be said to be crazy. You'd better not offend him at this sensitive time... I'm talking about that boy. Do you understand?"
Chen Lun glanced at the princess and knew that she was reminding him not to be impulsive because of saving Noah. He nodded and thanked softly.
Immediately, Chen Lun was silent for a few seconds and said to the princess in a pleading tone:
"Your Highness Anna, could you please do me one last favor..."
"Tell me, although this operation failed, you did help me... As long as I can do it, I will help you as much as possible."
Princess Anna nodded gently.
When Chen Lun saw this, he said his request in a deep voice:
"I want to go to the dungeon and meet Noah."
Ana did not reply directly. After thinking for a while, she sighed.
"If we just meet once, I can help you...but I'm afraid I can't do it in two days. You need to wait."
"Thank you."
Chen Lun took off his hat and expressed his gratitude again.
The two did not chat much. After Princess Anna finished conveying her words, she said that it was time to return to the palace, otherwise Dazlet would notice something strange.
Chen Lun just nodded silently, took Floy out of the carriage, and watched the princess go away.
"Go back."
he said softly.
Floy obediently agreed and followed him towards the Bountiful Church area.

The first time he returned to the church area, he did not tell other officials about Noah's imprisonment. Instead, he summoned the faceless waiter with a golden wine cup, and wrote several letters for the messenger to deliver to the Speaker and the Senate. Several consuls who are good friends with him.
Since there is nothing he can do now and he is alone and weak, he can only turn to the higher-ups of the organization for help... Chen Lun does not expect Speaker Azgierro and others to come forward for him. After all, he does not have that much face and goodwill. Not nearly enough.
Chen Lun only hopes to gain some support so that he can have a greater say in mediating in the future and buy more time for Noah.
Immediately afterwards, he used the silver ring coin, a high-end token of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, to play another special frequency and summon Rosa's exclusive messenger. Chen Lun briefly summarized Noah's affairs in the letter, and hoped that Rosa could convey this message to His Majesty the Silver Dragon Witch.
It's a matter of Noah's life and death. Chen Lun should inform his sister and mother out of emotion and reason... What's more, if he wants to save Noah, His Majesty Blaise is the best helper. With one more high-ranking combatant, that's it. Have more say.
Not only that, after Chen Lun repeatedly sent letters asking for help, he closed the curtains in the room, moved the sofa, coffee table and other objects away to leave an open space in the room, and then took out various extraordinary materials and arranged them on the floor. There are two corresponding ritual formations.
He silently recited the honorable names of "Cat God" Maggie Myrna and "Smiling Clown" Philip in his heart, and prayed to them, asking for a response.
When it comes to the Sun Royal Family and church forces, Chen Lun hopes to get help from these two powerful men.
However, the result was as expected, and neither Maggie nor Philip responded at all. Chen Lun sat back on the sofa, looking tiredly at the flickering flames of the candles on the ground, and could only sigh secretly.
Time flies and three days pass.
In the afternoon that day, Chen Lun, who had just had lunch, was sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the apartment in the residential area, reading a newspaper.
This is the "Sun Mail" purchased by Connie. This newspaper is headquartered in a prime location in the Uptown District. They are mainly responsible for reporting some major news in the royal city of Tourmaline Kloster and the surrounding areas.
Chen Lun flipped through the newspaper and frowned slightly.
Since yesterday, several large-scale accidents have occurred in the upper and lower districts of Wangcheng. They were either gas explosions, building collapses, or a fire in a food factory... The uninformed residents of Wangcheng regarded these as after-dinner things. topic, but Chen Lun knew that this was probably Prince Dazlet's liquidation.
‘No matter how deeply the Sun Cross Society hides itself, they will still be unable to withstand the royal family’s wrath… Princess Anna expected it to be true, this time their losses must be extremely heavy. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
He sighed secretly, put down the newspaper, closed his eyes and lay down on the sofa to rest.
This morning Rosa's reply arrived.
The other party said that he had conveyed the matter to his mother. Her anxiety and nervousness could be clearly felt between the lines, and he repeatedly asked Chen Lun about Noah's situation.
However, Chen Lun didn't know exactly what happened to Noah in the Sun Dungeon. He could only write some words of comfort and stabilize Rosa first to prevent her from rushing directly to the royal city in her impatience.
Based on his understanding of Rosa, if she learned that her brother was being held in a dungeon and was very likely to be executed, she would definitely do this. But the situation in the royal city is tense now, and Rosa's arrival will not help, but may cause unnecessary chaos.
At this time, Chen Lun heard a slight tremor in his ears.
Even if he didn't open his eyes, he could "see" the faceless waiter stepping out of the spirit world, coming to his side and bending down to salute.
"Lord Jack, this is the reply from Governor Mulenga..."
The faceless waiter handed over the letter on the tray and added:
"He asked me to convey to you that last week, a congressman discovered the traces of the Rotev family in the depths of the spiritual world. The four consuls Ginsburg, Peggy, Yasmin and Bindu were ordered to participate in the extermination operation and followed Azgier. Chairman Luo went to the dark world together and is currently not at the headquarters... Your letter can only be stored for the time being and will be forwarded after the adults return."
"I know."
Chen Lun's heart sank, he opened his eyes and took the letter.
He didn't expect that things would turn out to be such a coincidence. It was expected that Her Majesty the Cat God Maggie and Phillip didn't answer their prayers, but at this juncture, the senior officials of the Generous Parliament were out together. It looked like an invisible hand. Block your back.
But Chen Lun had already spied on his own destiny in Wonderland, and everything was as usual, with no trace of Howard's intervention...
‘If it was really Him, why did he target Noah? This is unreasonable. ’
Chen Lun took a deep breath, unwrapped the letter, took out the letter paper and read it.
Mulenga made it clear in his letter that he supported him, but regretted that he was currently in Gemstone State and could not escape, and the avatar was also on a mission and could not rush to the royal city in time.
In addition, He also vaguely reminded Chen Lun that the matter in the Royal City, that is, the assassination of Prince Dazlet, had spread. The other four consuls in the Senate who had bad relations seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Chen Lun's actions in the Royal City.
Among them, Governor Houston has already set off and is currently on his way to the Royal City. Mulenga told him to be careful. The guy was probably planning to take advantage of the absence of the Speaker and other consuls to seize power by using the reason that Chen Lun had a bad relationship with the prince.
After all, Houston and the other four consuls have been coveting the position of the person in charge of the royal city from the very beginning. Now that they have finally found the opportunity, they will not let it go.
Chen Lun silently put the letter away and pondered for a long time.
My request for help was blocked. Not only did I not receive help, but more troubles followed...
He took out two gold pounds and handed them to the faceless waiter. After he left, he got up from the sofa and slowly walked out of the apartment door with his silver cane.
'Next, I not only have to find a way to rescue Noah, but I also have to deal with the trouble in Houston... What should I do? ’
Chen Lun looked at the bright sky outside, but felt in a bad mood.
At this time, Floy, wearing a black and purple dress, walked slowly over, hugged him quietly from behind, and leaned her face on his back.
"Don't worry, everything will work out."
An ethereal and melodious voice came slowly from behind.
Chen Lun's originally suppressed emotions were relieved and he responded:
"Of course."
The two were silent for a few seconds.
Floy continued:
"There is something going on with the Church of the Moon... Thelma, the chief servant of the monastery, came to the royal city in person and entered the Palace of the Sun with seven Sisters of the Moon."
"Huh?"
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows, turned around slightly, and looked at Floy in surprise.
"In addition, a team of officiants from the Star Sect also entered the royal city, and Noah's mother was among them."
"The turning point is here..."
Chen Lun murmured. (End of chapter)
