Chapter 479 Give me three days
Chen Lun withdrew his thoughts and estimated the time. The ten-minute deadline for his visit was almost here. He sighed secretly, half-crouched in front of Noah, put a hand gently on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
"Noah, it's time for me to leave. You may need to stay here for a while, but don't worry, your mother, Your Majesty Blaise, and I are trying to find a way to rescue you..."
"I know...I believe you too, Mr. Jack."
Noah seemed to hear the apology in Chen Lun's tone, but he didn't want Mr. Jack to worry about him, so he forced a smile and said.
"Please don't tell my mother what I am like now, okay? All along, I...I have made Him care, but I don't want to see Him feel sad for me anymore."
"I promise you, Noah."
Chen Lun nodded slightly.
Noah's bright eyes cast a grateful look at Chen Lun in the darkness.
Chen Lun took a deep breath, took one last look at the young man, slowly stood up and left. He couldn't do anything for Noah at the moment, and his top priority was to rescue him as soon as possible.
Full of heavy and complicated thoughts, he returned all the way and left the Sun Dungeon. Immediately, he did not stay within the scope of the palace and headed straight towards the Generous Church area.
After a while.
As soon as he returned to the arch in the church area, Chen Lun was surprised to find a tall woman wearing a gorgeous silver robe, standing quietly next to the marble column, seemingly waiting for a long time.
"I have met His Majesty Blaise."
Chen Lun took off his black hat, hung it on his cane, and immediately saluted the silver-robed woman, stroking her chest.
"No need to be polite, Jack."
The Silver Dragon Witch did not hide her face this time, her heroic eyes were staring at him, and then said:
"Thank you very much for writing to Rosa about what happened in the Royal City and asking her to inform me...Although I knew that there would be a big commotion here sooner or later, I didn't expect that Noah would be involved and become a scapegoat."< br>
He sighed, with unconcealable worry on his face.
Chen Lun thought for a while and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty the Witch, I'm sorry that I failed to take good care of Noah..."
Blaise shook his head without any intention of blaming him.
"This is his fate, it is inevitable... Since I asked Noah to follow you, then all this is a hardship he needs to go through. Clarenzo's name as the 'God of Murals' has been spread across the continent, but few people I know what a painful and long time He spent with Mr. Jing Yao.”
The witch's gaze shifted and turned to Chen Lun with relief.
"I didn't make a mistake. You are a person worthy of Noah's following for life... But now, you seem to have encountered some difficulties."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chen Lun did not pretend to be relaxed, but admitted frankly.
He looked solemn and said bluntly:
"Although I know very well that Noah is innocent, the royal family will not listen to these words... Now Tourmaline Kloster has become the stage for the game between the Sun Royal Family and the Church of the Seven Gods, and Noah is just something that neither side cares about." Just a victim.”
"You're right, Jack."
Blaise said, looking in the direction of the Sun Palace.
"There is only one way to keep Noah alive now, and that is to make the royal family compromise."
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
Based on his understanding of the Sun Royal Family, the most domineering family on the entire continent is the Trisul family... It is too difficult to get them to compromise.
Blaise paused for a moment, turned his gaze back to Chen Lun, looked at him, and whispered:
"Our Silver Dragon family, if we trace our roots, is actually a branch of the Silber family... Although the ancestors of the family did not accept the enfeoffment of Shuoli Capital, the current Queen Priscilla still values us very much. The only reason for this is that Silber is different from Trisul. It has already been divided and declined, and the Star Royal Family has been reduced to the point where it can’t even gather a hundred people.”
Chen Lun was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that the ruling class of the southern kingdom had reached such a level... At the same time, he didn't expect that Noah still had such an ancient bloodline.
He learned from the records on the Monument of Destiny that the three major families, Cuisul, Matthew, and Silber, were direct descendants of the first human civilization on the continent, and could also be said to be the orthodox royal bloodline.
‘No wonder the Witch’s Majesty entered the palace together with the Star Sect, and even the Queen of Shuoli Capital descended into an incarnation...’
Chen Lun suddenly understood.
"You should understand now why the Sect of Stars will help me put pressure on the royal family... But this is not enough. Originally, the royal family had two hardcore forces: the Judgment Group and the Church of the Sun. Now the History and Ceremony Association and the Hailing Group have joined forces. ...The moon, the stars, and the Madman School alone are not enough to scare the royal family.”
Blaise sighed.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty..."
Chen Lun said in a deep voice.
He knew very well that although the Silver Dragon Witch did not mention the Generous Council, the fact was that Houston had taken away his position as the person in charge of the royal city and clearly sided with the prince. They were already at a disadvantage and wanted to save him. Noah's hopes grew slimmer.
"Jack, I have a proposal, I wonder if you agree with it or not."
Blaise suddenly changed the topic and asked calmly.
Chen Lun nodded lightly.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"I can convince the Star Sect to help you get rid of Houston."
The witch's eyes gradually became colder, even revealing a faint murderous intention.
Chen Lun couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Of course he knows the meaning of what the other party wants to do... As long as Houston dies, the person in charge of the Royal City will naturally fall on him, and he will be able to participate in this game on behalf of the Generous Council. Not only will the royal family lose a helping hand, but it will also Increase the chips on the side of the moon and stars.
"The Star Path is also good at divination. As long as Her Majesty Priscilla takes action, Houston's hidden identity will have nowhere to hide... Even if the Generous Council holds the blame, you can directly shift the responsibility to us."
< br>
Blaise said calmly.
Chen Lun took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, he could clearly feel the madness and fearlessness of a mother in order to save her son... At the same time, he was quite inclined to this proposal.
Huston was already at odds with him and was a hostile faction in the Senate. The other party took advantage of the Speaker's absence to come to the capital to seize power, which angered him even more. Several provocations had already made Chen Lun jealous of him. Killing intent.
As long as he relies on the power of the Witch Crown and the Cult of the Stars, he can easily remove Houston and regain his own power... He can even kill two birds with one stone and fulfill the requirements of the promotion task, which is to significantly change the fate of a high-ranking person.
He can use this to become a saint!
At the same time, there are no worries.
Chen Lun was about to agree to His Majesty Blaise's proposal, but he suddenly became alarmed.
'No, this is too smooth...'
It went too smoothly, and there was a hidden coincidence in it, which naturally made Chen Lun cautious. Once bitten by a snake, he has been afraid of well ropes for ten years. Chen Lun has already seen Howard's various methods and is always vigilant.
His passive [multi-tasking] was running at full strength, and he began to think about the logic behind this matter and the possible consequences.
'If I agree to His Majesty Blaise's proposal, with the power of Princess Priscilla, I can easily locate Houston's body. Coupled with the siege of the Star Cult and the Witch, I can probably kill him... But the Speaker and the other ruling officials Officials are not fools , if they knew that I united with outsiders to murder my colleagues in the Senate, I am afraid that the hard-earned favorability would be greatly reduced, and it would even be difficult to continue to develop in the parliament in the future... After all, this kind of thing has personal reasons with the consuls. The nature of the conflict is completely different. ’
Chen Lun frowned.
What made him most uneasy was actually the sensitive position that the Generous Council occupied in this game... The original balance of power between the two sides seemed to be broken by the arrival of Houston.
‘If all this is really guided by Howard, he wants me to use the Star Cult to get rid of Houston, so as to break the situation and be promoted...will he lose the support of the Generous Council and eventually fall into the trap he has already set? ’
Chen Lun didn't believe that Howard wanted nothing from him. The other party arranged all this for a purpose... And when he was promoted to a saint, it also meant that he had the qualifications to challenge fate, and there would be a battle between the two sides.
Although the Council of Generosity is not as large as the other Seven Gods Church, it is still a top force that Howard cannot underestimate... In order to ensure that his plan goes smoothly, Chen Lun feels that Howard may want to use this to isolate himself.
So how to break the situation?
Chen Lun felt that this invisible network had begun to tighten, leaving him little time and opportunity...
Suddenly, his expression froze.
Immediately, the corners of his mouth showed uncontrollable joy.
"Jack, do you agree to this proposal?"
Blaise waited for a while, then asked.
Chen Lun raised his eyes and nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty the Witch, this is indeed the best way to break the situation...but I also have a suggestion."
"Say it, Jack."
Blaise said gently.
Chen Lun stared at the witch and said in a deep voice:
"I want to take action myself."
"Huh?"
Blaise frowned slightly.
"Jack, it's not that I despise you, but Houston is, after all, one of the Four Saints of the Conspiracy Sequence. Even though your current strength has surpassed that of most mid-sequence extraordinary beings, you still cannot stand up to the high-ranking ones. It’s the difference between heaven and earth... Not only is it impossible for you to kill Him, you are also very likely to lose your life.”
"I know, Your Majesty."
Chen Lun slowly exhaled and said.
The reason why he proposed this was because the nature of his actions was completely different from that of the Star Sect... Although both aimed at killing Houston, the final results were completely different.
One is internal conflicts. Although the private fights between the consuls are equally bad, Chen Lun is also justified. At least Houston took advantage of the situation and robbed him. He is the victim, and many consuls in the Senate will stand on his side. The Speaker will not pursue too much.
But the other one is colluding with outsiders to murder his colleagues. No matter how good the reason is, it cannot be justified. The best outcome for Chen Lun is probably to be expelled from the parliament... This may be because of his many contributions in the past. He was not sentenced to imprisonment.
But in the final analysis, this matter depends on strength.
As His Majesty Blaise said, Chen Lun is not even qualified to face the saint, so how can he personally deal with Houston?
But just now, Chen Lun learned through the deceitful incarnation that it had found traces of Carmen in the dark world! At this point, I finally have an additional choice in my promotion mission, a choice that is not affected by Howard's guidance!
As long as he can rescue Carmen, everything will be solved!
"I beg you to give me three days... If I fail, then, Your Majesty Blaise, you will then work with the Cult of the Stars to remove Houston."
Chen Lun lowered his head and said sincerely.
The witch seemed to see something, her frown slowly spread, and after a moment of silence, she nodded in agreement.
"In that case, I hope you can succeed, Jack."

Chen Lun did not dare to waste any time. After saying goodbye to the Silver Dragon Witch, he went straight back to the room in the apartment in the rest area and exchanged with the incarnation of fraud.
In order to ensure that Carmen could be rescued smoothly, he chose to go all out and let the main body go to the dark world, while the deceitful incarnation returned to the living royal city to take charge of the overall situation.
'According to the location found by the avatar of fraud, it seems to be at the end of a canyon in the dark world... On the deepest rock wall, there is a strange mural, which is connected to an independent space. All guidance about Carmen is Concentrated inside. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself and kept walking.
After several flashes of his body, he was already shuttled between the deep layers of the spiritual world, and soon he leaped to the giant bronze door. Take one step forward and completely enter the dark world.
Because the incarnation of deceit left a "spiritual anchor" at the bottom of the canyon, Chen Lun did not need to spend time exploring it again. He directly leaped through the clouds several times and reached his destination across a long distance.
The environment is deep and dark, and you can't see your fingers.
Chen Lun walked through the thick dust and unknown debris, walking at the bottom of the silent canyon. Using his [Five Senses], he walked straight towards a mountain wall.
The moment he "saw" the mural, blood flowed from his mouth and nose again, and dizziness ensued.
[You witnessed the contaminated mythological mural "The Passion of Scorpio Episode 7: Huang's Wax Museum", and your sanity value is -60! 】
Chen Lun's current upper limit of sanity has reached 110 points. Although this hit him hard, it was not like the instant loss of consciousness and coma like before. It only caused a moment of tearing pain in his head, and soon he was in a coma. The sanity stored in Maggie's statue was supplemented, and his sanity was restored.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from his mouth and nose, then looked up at the mural.
Although the description on the panel says "Wax Museum", the mural shows a stone pillar standing in an empty wasteland, reaching straight into the sky. On the top of it, there is a solitary spire-like building, which is completely dilapidated.
The background color of the entire painting is a sallow color that is close to the meaning of corruption. Whether it is the sky or the wind and sand, it is full of the unspeakable charm of age erosion. Chen Lun can even smell a strange smell of decay from the mural. Coming diffusely.
He took a deep breath and reached out to touch the mountain wall.
Shasha...
To his surprise, in the dead silence, the sound of howling wind and blowing sand could be heard. The next second, a dazzling light burst out in front of his eyes, engulfing him.
"In the year 8587 of the fourth calendar, the god of magic, Angela, crossed the six layers of history to search for my true identity... His angel Clarenzo was on the third layer of history, intending to prevent my ritual of becoming a god and explore my identity. The only divinity... However, the monument has been completed, and history is like a mirror, which can be seen and heard but not known."
An old voice full of traces of time sounded faintly in Chen Lun's mind.
When he came to his senses again, he found himself standing in a Gobi desert. At the end of the horizon was the sky-reaching stone pillar on the mural. (End of chapter)
