Chapter 503 Last Words
Bountiful church area.
In the sunny garden, Chen Lun and Floy were sitting on a wooden bench. The quiet girl with long pale golden hair lay in his arms, and Chen Lun looked at her face with eyes closed and resting tenderly.
"Floy."
"Well..."
The girl snorted lazily.
"I might need to go out for a while."
Chen Lun said softly.
"Okay, I will still wait for you here as before."
The corners of Floy's lips raised slightly.
Chen Lun also had a gentle smile in his eyes.
He still remembered that he had escaped from the dungeon of the Red Apple Church with Floy. Every time he came back after going out, she would stand silently at the door, waiting for who knows how long, and finally whisper "You are back."
He stared down at her for a while, then said slowly:
"But this time, I can't guarantee that I will come back."
Floy frowned slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and sat up, his lavender eyes flashing with worry and nervousness.
"Did you encounter any danger?"
She cleverly guessed something.
"You can say that, but this time is different from the past, I can't escape..."
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
Floy held his hand tightly and said in a deep voice:
"I'll go with you!"
Chen Lun just shook his head.
"It's useless, this is my fate, no one can help me... If I fail to come back, I hope you will take the rest of the circus out of the royal city and find a hidden corner to grow slowly... Next is the spiritual world The turmoil will become more intense. Only by being promoted to high positions can you have a bright future.”
He had already prepared for the worst. If he failed to challenge fate, Howard would not implicate Floy and the others. However, the water in the royal city was too deep, and there were many uncertainties in the main plot, so Chen Lun hoped that these companions To be able to leave and live well.
He believed that with the talents of Floy and others, they would definitely achieve high positions one day. In that case, he wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore.
After listening to his last words, Floy could no longer control his emotions, his eyes flashed with crystal light, and his ethereal voice trembled:
"Who is your enemy?"
Chen Lun didn't answer her, he just stared at this beautiful face quietly, as if he wanted to imprint her deeply in his mind.
Floy was a little angry. This was the first time she was truly angry at him. Her clenched fingers were even a little white.
"You have to tell me who you are... If you die, I will have the motivation to live... I will do whatever it takes to avenge you!"
Chen Lun felt Floy's strong fluctuations in emotions and his firm belief, and he actually shed tears when he saw those lavender eyes flashing.
His heartbeat couldn't help but stagnate.
Immediately he sighed secretly.
He raised his hand to hold the girl's face and gently wiped away the warm tears with his thumb. Chen Lun stared into her eyes and said in a deep voice:
"His name is Howard... If I fail, then He will be promoted to the Angel of Destiny. You have no chance of winning!"
"Then I will quietly accumulate strength until I reach a high position...and then kill Him!"
Floy said solemnly.
She stared at the beloved face in front of her, and her tone changed into gentleness:
"Don't forget the agreement between us. If you forget or get lost, we will eventually meet on the moon."
Chen Lun finally gave her a hug.
It is both a farewell and a response.
Because behind this oath, it symbolizes death... If she does not come back, Floy will definitely find ways to avenge him. In the end, regardless of whether she succeeds or not, she will definitely die.

Chen Lun left the garden alone under Floy's quiet gaze.
He didn't tell the rest of the team about this, not only because he didn't want them to worry about him, but also because it was unnecessary.
This is his own business and no one can help.
However, just when Chen Lun was about to find a place to fall into the dream world, he saw Alex coming back from playing outside along the path while humming a song.
The two looked at each other.
Alex smiled playfully and saluted him, stroking his chest, and then said loudly:
"Mr. Jack, I wish you a safe journey!"
Chen Lun couldn't help but stop and look deeply at the guy in front of him.
From very early on, he had suspected that Alex had a big secret hidden in him, but no matter how he tried, he never found any clues.
Now the other party's seemingly ordinary words seemed particularly appropriate for what he was about to face.
"You know what I'm going to do?"
Chen Lun asked with a chuckle.
Alex shook his head blankly, then shrugged and said:
"I don't know, but aren't you going out?"
"Forget it..."
Chen Lun sighed secretly, feeling that he was too sensitive.
However, Alex hurriedly said:
"By the way, Mr. Jack, I found some inspiration when I went out to collect music this time and wrote a brand new poem. Do you want to listen to it?"
"Don't listen, let's do it next time."
Chen Lun declined politely and was about to leave.
"Listen! Soon! Mr. Jack!"
But Alex came over reluctantly.
"If you don't listen, you are looking down on my great bard Alex! No! I just want you to listen!"
As he spoke, he took out his mouth organ and started playing a song.
The prelude is very catchy and beautiful. It can be seen that Alex is very talented in music, but Chen Lun is not in the mood to listen at all at the moment. He walked forward helplessly, and this guy was playing beside him, like a street performer asking for a reward.
Finally, Alex put down the harmonium out of breath and sang poetry loudly:
"...If it's not that you are not worthy of this era, then this era is not worthy of you! Great foreign god! You will definitely return as a winner!"
Chen Lun stopped again. This time, he stared at Alex and said in a deep voice:
"A foreign god?"
"Uh... is there something wrong? I heard that you have always claimed to be the messenger of the god of foreign lands, and the inspiration came from this, so I plan to sing a song in your praise!"
Alex stopped chanting and said in confusion.
Chen Lun was silent for a few seconds and did not answer him. Instead, he asked out of nowhere:
"Do you think I can come back?"
Alex was startled for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and chuckled:
"Of course."
After a while.
Chen Lun stared deeply at Alex's leaving figure, feeling more and more that this guy was like a mist.
He didn't stop any longer. After taking a step, he disappeared.

On the outskirts of the royal city.
As the light gradually dimmed in the evening, in an extremely remote countryside, a figure walked slowly past.
Chen Lun found a place to sit on the ground under a tree.
He first lit a bonfire the size of a basin, then took out the ritual materials prepared in advance, arranged them next to them, and then laid the silver cane flat on his knees. Close your eyes and pray to the cat gods Maggie and Philip in your heart.
This time, he did not expect to get a response from the two of them, he simply wanted to inform him that he was about to enter the dream world and face Howard directly.
In the silent environment, there was only the crackling sound of firewood burning.
A long while.
Chen Lun slowly opened his eyes.
There was a hint of regret in his eyes.
As expected, he received no response.
'It's time to go...'
Chen Lun sighed secretly, took off his hat, used it as a pillow on the lawn, and then lay down directly.
[Fred Cui Meditation Method] After a moment of operation and two breaths, Chen Lun fell asleep quietly...
His consciousness remained awake from beginning to end, but the environment of his dream was a process from scratch. Chen Lun stood quietly in a white space and saw that the surrounding scene was like a picture on a canvas. It gradually changed from scrawled lines at the beginning to distorted and blurred buildings and street scenes, and finally turned into a square that was very similar to the real world.
Chen Lun ignored the various pedestrians in the dream, but followed the direction guided by the crank of the cane and found the underground stairs leading to the dream world.
Just like last time, he walked down 70 steps and came to the "Gate of Sleep" area... Chen Lun was originally ready to negotiate with Ms. Sigh, but this time, there was only the stone gate. Standing quietly, the relief sculptures of various ferocious marine life are lifelike.
Chen Lun looked around, looking at the empty and dim hall, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
If possible, he wouldn't want to face Ms. Sigh directly.
Although he has been promoted to a high position, he is still a little scared of the painful third lady of the angel level. Of course, Chen Lun also learned a few words about Ms. Sigh from many mysterious books he had read before... Although he is responsible for guarding the "Gate of Sleep", he has never harmed anyone who accidentally entered here. If the unlucky guy meets certain conditions, He will let him in.
It can also be seen from this that Chen Lun had the idea of negotiating with Ms. Sigh because she did not have a chaotic or evil stance.
Holding his silver cane, he stepped forward and crossed the stone gate.
The stairs continued to go down, and Chen Lun walked 700 steps again. When his vision suddenly opened up, he once again arrived in the gray forest environment.
Taking out the "Tragedy Prince" he had purchased from the newsboy, Chen Lun used his cane to perform some divination and quickly obtained Howard's location.
The reason why it was so easy was, on the one hand, the blessing of the "man of destiny", and on the other hand, perhaps Howard deliberately exposed his position so that Chen Lun could find him.
"Howard..."
Chen Lun murmured the name, and immediately his face became stern.
He took one step forward and disappeared completely.
Deep in the dream world, on the top of the crystal mountain range, a figure in a black hat and dress appeared quietly, standing on the bare black rock, looking towards the other side of the mountain range.
Chen Lun's expression changed somewhat.
In the fairyland, when he arrived at the same area, he could only see nothingness and the endless high wall... But at this moment, the bright stars were reflected in his eyes, and in his sight was the boundless sea of stars. At the end, among the high walls, you can vaguely see a lighthouse emitting colorful light!
And among the endless shining sea of stars, there was a lonely blond man, with his back to Chen Lun, sitting on the ground, as if he was intoxicated watching this beautiful and vast spectacle.
Chen Lun took a deep breath, his figure changed, and he instantly crossed a long distance, directly arriving dozens of meters away from the blond man, where he stood quietly.
The man seemed to notice something and chuckled.
"You're here after all, Jack."
He stood up and turned around with a pleased smile on his face.
Immediately afterwards, I saw him slowly taking off the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, stroking back his blond hair, reaching out his hand and saying:
"Let's get to know each other again, my name is Philip Howard." (End of Chapter)
