Chapter 501 Symphony of Destiny
Just after the soul of the headless insect monster was completely absorbed and digested by Floy, a series of strange things happened in the royal city of Tourmaline Kloster.
There are inexplicable blank spaces on street posters about the latest policies, leaflets on government orders, headlines in major newspapers, and even diaries written by some residents themselves.
No one knows why, and no one knows what was originally written in that blank space. Most people think it is just a coincidence or some kind of omission.
Although it caused a discussion, it was quickly forgotten.
In a bar in Lower Town.
A slovenly red-nosed drinker suddenly talked about the major event that happened two days ago in Huowen Square in the central area of Wangcheng.
It was normal at first, but when it came to the swarming crowds and turbulent uproar, it was quite vivid. Even the guests at a few tables around him teased him about how a laborer from the lower city was qualified to pass the inspection and enter the central area at the top of the royal city. Attend rallies.
But when talking about the cause of this big event, the red-nosed drinker hesitated and hesitated, and couldn't tell the reason at all.
It immediately aroused everyone's ridicule.
"So what was that meeting about? Varden!"
Someone smoked a cigarette and asked loudly.
"Okay...it seems that the royal family is going to execute a person."
"Who is going to stir up trouble? Hahaha, he couldn't be the thief who stole the bread from the 'Aunt Ma Yi's Bakery' on the night of the celebration, right?"
"Of course not! But who it is...I can't remember it right now."
"Hahaha..."
Everyone laughed.
Suddenly someone was stunned and confused.
"Celebration day? Is it the princess's birthday?"
"Yeah, I was singing with my neighbor Dorsey and his family with lanterns."
"But isn't the princess's birthday in December?"
"Eh... I'm sorry, I must have remembered it wrong. Anyway, March 9th is a big day. The royal family even sent people to put up lanterns and decorations. Who cares!"
In addition to the lower city, similar things are happening in the upper city and central area, and even in every corner of every class in other areas... Certain memories are disappearing quietly. No one remembers that the royal family has a prince named Dazlet, nor does anyone remember that the royal family has a prince named Dazlet. Man remembers everything about him.
Even...
Players' gaming forum.
"——Eh? What the hell is my post! How come my big post is missing?!"
"——What post? Is it a photo of Serse from the Qunxing sect? My good brother borrowed one to speak."
"——No, get lost, it's an analysis post about the Western War, and there was a long comment reply from the 'Ordinary Operator' boss. I still remember him saying that this matter is related to the royal family, and it is the conspiracy of some crown prince... …”
"——What kind of crown prince, the Sun Royal Family is just a princess, and you can just make such a fool of yourself, right?"
In addition, a considerable number of posts in game forums have disappeared out of thin air, as if they were silently deleted by a hidden administrator.
Even the "Secret Age 2.0 Version CG: Dark Resurrection" that was originally on the top list has also disappeared.
This caused strong dissatisfaction among players.
However, an official announcement from the game was issued urgently, stating that the administrators of the forum never deleted posts maliciously, but that an unknown error occurred in the background data, causing some posts to be damaged.
But the players are not stupid, because they have long discovered that the disappearing posts are related to the royal family. To be precise, they are related to someone in the royal family, but it is impossible to say who it is now.
Some smart players pointed out that it was probably some unlucky guy who discovered the BUG in the royal family and made huge profits from it, so they alerted the official to urgently delete the post and fix the BUG.
As for the so-called statement that "the game is controlled by supercomputers and is absolutely fair and reasonable", players don't really believe it. Some even secretly said that the official would have to pay them something, otherwise it would not be justified.
However, after the official announcement was made, there was no response.
What the players don't know is that in reality, in the capital of the Azure Federation, the night city of Kakamara, scientists at the "Age of Secrets" research and development center have exploded.
All the top researchers in the Federation were present, but none of them could explain the motivation and principle behind the super computer suddenly tampering with and deleting data. Even all the players participating in the game had their memories disappear out of thin air!
"Report this matter to the Federal Ether Science Department and the chief priests of the Azure Holy Cult. After receiving the information disk, the super computer evolved too quickly... We need more experimental data. ”
The leading man in a white coat said solemnly.
The mechanical eye on his left glowed with a frightening blue light, staring at the behemoth placed in the center of the laboratory - the supercomputer composed of countless circuit boards and modules, as well as the black bullet at the socket on the operating table. information disk.
"The great cause of the Holy Religion cannot stop. It will be the key to lead us to salvation and the kingdom of God when the end comes..."

A few days later.
The week agreed with Ms. Frederic has passed.
Chen Lun walked out of the gate of Meteor Tower, turned around, politely took off his black hat, thanked Ms. Frederic and said goodbye.
"Thank you for your guidance and teaching these days. I feel I have benefited a lot."
"You're welcome, Jack."
Ms. Frederic smoked a cigarette and waved her hands.
"I'm quite surprised by your brain. I didn't expect that through my seal and some basic magic principles, you can come up with such wonderful ideas... When these are combined with the mythical power of your own destiny system, you can actually create Incredible power, this has given me some inspiration.”
As she spoke, the lady's eyes once again showed a melancholy look.
When Chen Lun saw this, he felt wary for some reason.
As expected, Ms. Frederic spit out a cloud of mist and spoke slowly:
"Although I've gotten used to it over the years, it's nice to have someone by my side to chat with... Jack, I heard that Mrs. Elk went to the Royal City, so I planned to write a letter to communicate with Him. By the way, please ask again. Get some research materials..."
His turn was quite abrupt and there was something in his words.
Chen Lun understood instantly.
This boss is short of money again...
He took a deep breath, made a little decision, then took out an Imperial Bank certificate and handed it over. The amount of fifty thousand gold pounds was clearly engraved on it.
"Jack, what are you doing?"
Ms. Frederic looked confused.
"Some insignificant worldly possessions, I hope you and Mrs. Elk can have a happy chat."
Chen Lun smiled.
His heart was bleeding, and his property was less than 100,000 yuan.
Fortunately, the self-developed "Spiritual Vision Potion" is being continuously sold to players. With this cash cow, version 2.0 can still make a lot of money for a long time, so he feels a little more at ease.
Ms. Frederic took the voucher, played with it twice, shook her head and sighed:
"I didn't expect to receive funding from you again, I'm ashamed..."
As she spoke, the lady held the cigarette in the corner of her mouth, freed her hand and patted the old mage Carmen's shoulder heavily.
"Despite my age as a student, I have only traveled a handful of times, which is why I was trapped in the dark world for so many years due to my carelessness... How about letting Carmen follow you for a few years?"< br>
"Huh?"
Chen Lun was slightly startled.
Carmen on the side was also stunned.
"Teacher?"
"Jack is also a Saint now. He is Sequence Four with you, and is even much better than you in many aspects... You can also learn a lot from him, just like I traveled with Mr. Jing Yao back then."< br>
Ms. Frederic said calmly.
Carmen looked aggrieved and hesitated to speak.
He always listened to the teacher's words, so he did not refuse verbally, but he always wondered in his heart whether the teacher might have accepted the 50,000 gold pounds and felt bad about it, so he simply sold him.
"There is no high-ranking person in my team. It would be an honor for me if Master Carmen could help me."
Chen Lun smiled.
"Okay, it's settled."
Ms. Frederic flicked the cigarette butt and flew under the crater.
He pointed in that direction again.
"However, the pattern of the magic circle below has not been renovated and repaired. After a few days, Carmen helps me fix it, and I will ask him to find you."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Chen Lun held his silver cane and bowed slightly towards Master and Disciple Fred Cui.
He and the lady looked at each other and smiled.
Only the white-haired old man looked desolate and secretly sad.

After leaving the Meteor Tower, Chen Lun returned to the royal city.
Fortunately, in the past few days since the incarnation disappeared, no accidents had happened in the Generous Church District, so he took advantage of his leisure and strolled through the downtown area of the central area.
After the prince's incident came to an end, the royal family and the Church of the Seven Gods returned to peace, at least maintaining a superficial calm.
Chen Lun held his silver cane and lowered the brim of his hat, walking on the roadside like an ordinary gentleman, without attracting anyone's attention.
For some reason, he had a strange feeling from the atmosphere in the royal city... an indescribable weirdness.
Walking past the bulletin board and the wall, Chen Lun felt a chill when he casually glanced at the blank spaces where words disappeared out of thin air.
He knew very well that after the death of Prince Dazlet, the people began to gradually forget about this person... Chen Lun did not intend to continue to pursue it, at least not at this stage.
But this incident was firmly remembered in his heart.
"Gentlemen and ladies! The author of "The Adventures of Philip" has released a new work! This novel has become popular among the upper class in the central area these days. It is a masterpiece that has moved countless aristocratic ladies. Don't you take a look?"
At this time, a newsboy not far away was walking by dragging a simple roller box filled with hard-cover books. He shouted and raised the book he was holding.
"For only two silver coins, you can buy this masterpiece of the century!"
Chen Lun suddenly stopped and turned to stare at the book in the newsboy's hand.
On the cover, it was written "The Tragedy Prince"!
"It's the little guy selling this book again. The bookstore downstairs and the Guro Bookstore on Farley Street are all covered with posters and banners for promotion. I really don't know what's so good about this book. It’s full of fictional characters and exaggerated plots.”
Beside Chen Lun, two men passed by and chatted happily.
Another man echoed the complaint:
"That's... Prince Dazlet, there has never been any prince in our empire, only Princess Anna. The made-up tragedy in it only makes me feel sick... But my wife and daughter like it very much. , not thinking about food or tea these two days, the two of them just sat on the sofa and watched all day long, and they didn’t even listen to what I said when they were so fascinated, alas..."
Chen Lun frowned deeper and deeper, strode forward, took out three silver coins and handed them to the newsboy.
"Give me a copy, it's a big tip."
The newsboy looked at the three shining silver coins and was extremely happy. He quickly took out a copy of "The Tragedy Prince" and handed it to the gentleman in black hat in front of him, and kept saying thank you:
"Thank you, generous sir! This is your book. I'll give you another book cover and two bookmarks!"
"No need."
Chen Lun took the books and turned around to leave.
Unable to suppress his inner confusion, he quickly opened the cover and opened the book...
Soon, his eyes gradually became solemn, even horrified.
The content in this novel is exactly the same as a series of things that happened in the royal city before! Revolving around the assassination of Prince Dazlet, the struggle between the royal family and the Church of the Seven Gods unfolded, especially the fierce conflict between the three churches of the Sun, Moon and Star!
Among them, many major figures, including Chen Lun himself, appeared...
Bang!
Chen Lun closed the book and narrowed his eyes.
The author's name "Howard" in the note at the end made him feel particularly irritated.
‘What does this guy want to do? ! ’
Chen Lun took a deep breath.
The max-level passive [Multi-Tasking] was operating rapidly under the influence of the mythical creature's characteristic "Skull of Enlightenment". He was standing on the noisy street, but no one looked at him.
After a while.
Chen Lun thought of a possibility, a possibility that made his hair stand on end...
‘Howard’s fundamental purpose in promoting this struggle behind the scenes may be to be promoted to an angel… and this time he blatantly wrote the script into a novel and put it on the market to be read by countless residents, precisely to expand his influence, which is the so-called anchor throwing! ’
When he was promoted to Saint, he had a mandatory requirement of 5 points of epic singing level. Speaker Azgierro also told him that the anchor point was a necessary preparation for the promotion ceremony.
If Howard wants to be promoted to the Second Sequence Angel, he will definitely need greater influence, which can also explain the origin of this "The Tragedy Prince".
'And Prince Dazlater was forgotten by the world at this ingenious time point, so that the shock level of "The Tragedy Prince" was greatly reduced... If not, perhaps it would no longer be an entertainment book popular among the upper class. Instead, it was an 'evil book' that shocked the royal family and the Church of the Seven Gods, and would inevitably cause a huge commotion. ’
Chen Lun turned his head and looked at the huge Sun Palace.
The surprise in my heart could not subside for a long time.
‘Is this something the Sun King did deliberately? Does He know all this, so he erased the existence of Prince Dazlet, thereby preventing Howard from becoming the final winner... However, there are hundreds of forgotten crown princes, and this happened from the very beginning of the establishment of the empire. Did He foresee the future? This is unreasonable! ’
The more Chen Lun thought about it, the more frightened he became.
What made him even more nervous was...
Once Howard is promoted to the Second Angel of the Sequence, the hope of challenging his fate and taking control of himself will become even slimmer... He may even have no chance of winning, and he will be completely reduced to a pawn to be manipulated, and will never be able to stand up again!
Thump thump thump—thump!
At this time, in a store called "Trizz Musical Instruments" not far to Chen Lun's left, a piano tune suddenly sounded.
It is like crying and complaining, and also has a little sadness.
However, Chen Lun's already uneasy mood was ignited at this moment.
'That's... "Symphony of Destiny"? How could there be such a song in this world...’
His heartbeat quickened and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the cane.
A strong sense of fate came over him, making his breath hitch.
Chen Lun calmed down, took a deep breath, and slowly walked into the musical instrument store. Immediately, at a glance, a blond man was sitting in front of a piano, playing elegantly.
His pupils shrank sharply!
"Howard..."
"This piece of music was composed by my teacher. He named it "Symphony of Destiny". It has four chapters. I have always liked it."
The man didn't look back, just kept playing and said with a chuckle. (End of chapter)
