Chapter 493 Celebration
Today's dinner was particularly sumptuous.
Not only to celebrate Noah's safe return, but also to show respect to His Majesty Blaise and Rosa.
Noah's health is recovering well, and his appetite at the dinner table is even greater than before, which makes his companions who care about him heartily gratified.
There was an episode in the middle, that is, His Majesty Blaize expressed his praise for Floy's craftsmanship during the meal, and also jokingly said that maybe Chen Lun did not agree to marry Rosa at the beginning, probably because Rosa can't cook.
These words caused exclamations from everyone present.
The team cadres all showed curious expressions and wanted to ask out loud, but they didn't dare. They all communicated with each other with their eyes. The atmosphere was extremely strange for a while.
Maggie, in particular, was full of gossip and wanted to grab Noah to get to the bottom of things and ask what was going on at that time.
Rosa chewed the food gracefully without showing any embarrassment. She pinched Noah who was snickering twice and echoed her mother's praise of Floy's cooking skills.
"Although this is not the first time I have tasted Miss Floy's craftsmanship, I always feel surprised... If I were Mr. Jack, I would probably fall in love with you too."
Rosa smiled charmingly and flipped her silver hair.
“I just don’t know when can I attend your wedding?”
She asked politely, looking with interest at Chen Lun on the main seat and Floy next to his left hand.
"..."
As soon as Chen Lun swallowed a mouthful of food, he looked up and found everyone at the table looking at him.
"Ahem, it's coming soon."
"Wow!"
Anton sat on a huge chair, munching on a grass-fed burger and letting out an exaggerated howl. Although it's not entirely clear what the wedding means, it feels like it's important to Mr. Jack and so happily participates in it.
Chen Lun shook his head helplessly.
Immediately, with his powerful perception, he clearly noticed a trace of loss flashing in Floy's smile.
Chen Lun gently stretched out his hand and took her little hand.
Floy was startled for a moment, then raised his head and saw the other party's smile, as well as his sincere and comforting eyes. The little bit of disappointment that arose in her heart dissipated and turned into warmth.
After dinner.
Chen Lun personally sent His Majesty Blaise and Miss Rosa out of the church area. Before the two boarded the carriage, Blaise expressed his gratitude to Chen Lun.
"Jack, Noah's safe return is also due to your efforts. This time the Sun King will compromise, and the generous council's attitude is very important. If you hadn't been promoted at the critical moment, killed Houston, and regained the right to speak... Then the final result may be different.”
"Since Noah has sworn to follow me, I will definitely not sit idly by."
Chen Lun smiled and shook his head.
Blaise looked at him deeply.
"Remember what I said, try not to explore the secrets of the royal family anymore, the sun... is dangerous after all."
"I will remember it, Your Majesty."
Chen Lun nodded.
Blaise finally raised his right hand and placed it gently on his chest.
"Goodbye, Your Majesty Jack."
This is the respect he expresses for a strong man of the same level.
The carriage slowly moved away.
Chen Lun watched him disappear into the night.
Just as he was about to turn around and return, the air around him became distorted.
A sculpture covered with cyan crystals slowly came out of the spirit world. It said nothing and handed over a letter directly.
Chen Lun recognized it. It was the sculpture of Ms. Feide Cui in the Meteor Tower. Now it seems that most of them are conveying some message for the other party.
After receiving the letter, Chen Lun opened it with some doubts.
In the letter, Ms. Frederic expressed her hope that he would go to the Meteor Tower and thank him in person for rescuing her student Carmen.
Chen Lun looked thoughtful.
‘It just so happens that after my promotion, my abilities have been comprehensively improved. If I have some ideas and guesses about skill development, I can ask this learned archmage for advice. Magic and destiny are adjacent to each other, and they can draw parallels in many aspects. ’
After he made up his mind, he found that the sculpture messenger had not left.
Immediately, I remembered what Carmen had said. His messenger did not need gold pounds as reward, but energy crystals. Since he studied under Ms. Frederic, the messenger's needs should be the same.
Chen Lun tentatively took out two finger-sized Longli stones and handed them to the sculpture.
The latter took it quickly, threw it directly into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it. In the process, a terrifying red and black electric arc burst out, making a sizzling sound, but it seemed not to be affected, and instead became "excited" He nodded as if he was quite satisfied with the reward.
However, when the sculpture messenger left, Chen Lun found that some red lines seemed to begin to spread out of the cyan crystals on its surface, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

late at night.
A carriage transporting corpses slowly drove out from the lower part of the royal city and headed east along the main road in the countryside.
Less than a hundred kilometers away from the Royal City, there is a small town called "Guangming Town", which has the largest public cemetery in the surrounding area. Every inch of land in the royal city is precious. After thousands of years of development and evolution, there are no more spare cemeteries for burying ordinary civilians. So if someone dies in Xiacheng District, most of them will be prayed by the monks of the Moon Church and then arranged to be sent to Guangming Town. Buried.
There are even specialized companies responsible for this funeral service.
The carriage that was driving slowly on the main road was accompanied by only two employees of the "Tokudai Funeral Company" in addition to the driver.
The two employees were smoking cigarettes in the carriage, and one of the younger male employees looked behind him from time to time, as if there was something suspicious about the neatly stacked coffins.
"Okay Rick, stop looking at those dead people. Are you afraid they will jump out of the coffin and bite you?"
The older one exhaled smoke and joked with a smile.
Young Rick retorted:
"If it bites me, I'll bite you too, Nasr. During the day, you threw the corpses carelessly. Mrs. Sanita's arm was even broken by you... The company clearly asked us to be careful with the placement. ”
"The company, the company... talks about the company's rules. When I first came here, I followed the rules like you, but it hasn't been like that after so many years. Who will really keep an eye on you?"
Nasr, an old employee, said nonchalantly.
He took the last drag of his cigarette, reluctantly threw the cigarette butt out of the window, and then joked:
"Bite me if you bite me, preferably on my dick. It's such a pity that Mrs. Sanita died in her thirties. Why did that damn gas explosion happen in the commercial street in the lower city... ”
As he said that, Nasr shook his head, as if he regretted that beautiful face.
At this moment, Rick suddenly turned back again.
Nasr kicked him in dissatisfaction and cursed with a smile:
"Is there something wrong with you?! Don't be so surprised!"
"No! I really saw a coffin moving!"
Rick said nervously.
Nasr cursed and was about to say something.
Boom!
There was a sudden muffled sound from the pile of coffins at the rear of the carriage, and the whole carriage seemed to tremble.
"Fake!"
Nasr cursed in panic.
Rick held his head in fear and began to pray, apologizing repeatedly and praying to the sun god.
The carriage slowly stopped, and the coachman, a fat middle-aged man, opened the curtain of the carriage in a panic and asked the two people about the situation.
"What's going on?! I thought I heard something just now, and even the horses were frightened!"
"God knows!"
Nasr said something, then pulled Rick and got out of the carriage.
The three of them went around to the back of the car, unlocked the metal buckles, and pulled down the baffle. More than a dozen coffins were neatly stacked, but the one at the top was a little crooked.
"That's it! All I see is it moving!"
Rick pointed quickly and said.
"Shut up! Come and help me!"
Nasr glared at him, then boarded the carriage, and the three of them worked together to drag the coffin down.
But soon, Nasr frowned.
"Why don't I remember this coffin?"
He took out the cigarette box irritably, lit another one, and said to the other two people while smoking:
"Open it and take a look!"
"This is not good, company regulations..."
Rick resisted a little, but before he could finish speaking, Nasr had already stuffed the tool into his arms.
Finally unable to defeat the old employee, several people pried open one side of the coffin board and then opened it.
"Oh my God!"
The coachman was so frightened that he backed away and sat down on the ground.
"This is?!"
Nasr looked at the scene in the coffin in the moonlight and couldn't help but take a breath, and the cigarette beside his mouth fell to the ground.
Inside was a headless corpse!
But the corpse has obviously undergone changes, with severe swelling in various parts, and even weird squirming sounds!
"He is a prince! His Highness Prince Dazlet!"
Rick screamed.
He pointed at a head in the corner of the coffin, his features contorted in fear.
"The prince was beheaded this morning, but how did his body end up here?!"
Nasr felt a little creepy.
Bang! !
There was a loud bang.
The headless corpse in the coffin exploded, countless disgusting plasma clots were scattered, and a huge monster five to six meters high rose from the ground.
In the darkness, I could see that the headless monster had two long and large mantis blade arms. Its entire body leaned forward like a deformed insect, and its surface even reflected a silver metallic luster.
The three of them turned pale with fear and did not dare to move.
However, the following night, hysterical screams could be heard.

The next morning.
Chen Lun left his avatar behind and immediately used the cloud leap to rush to the Augusta Mountains.
After being promoted to a saint, he no longer needs to rely on the [B-level magic object-stuntman] as a support to directly create his own "external body". Although its overall strength is only about 10% of his own, But it definitely surpassed his former self, and even fell far short of the ordinary incarnations of saints.
Let it stay in the church area, which is enough to deal with some accidents.
The most important point is that Chen Lun discovered his own incarnation. The biggest difference from the incarnations of other saints is that he can share all the perceptions and information of the incarnation in real time.
He suspected that this was due to passive multitasking, but he couldn't be sure. If this is the case, then this is a unique advantage of the Destiny Path.
In addition, after the transformation of Cloud Leap, he can now cross tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant, crossing the entire empire, which probably takes less than a minute.
This is quite a terrifying force.
It must be extremely difficult to hunt down a high-ranking person in the destiny system.
It took less than twenty seconds to leave the house.
Chen Lun's figure had already appeared in the Augusta Mountains. He stagnated in mid-air and once again saw the meteor tower built under the crater.
He adjusted his hat, flew to the door with his silver cane, and knocked on the door.
Tuk Tuk.
Not long after, the door slowly opened.
The person who opened the door was not the sculpture messenger, but a woman with long blue-purple hair and a simple linen robe, Ms. Fredette.
Before Chen Lun could say hello, he saw the other person frowning slightly and said:
"Jack, what did you feed my messenger? It was paralyzed when it came back!" (End of Chapter)
