Chapter 574 Apology (please vote!)
"Apologise?"
Chen Lun raised his head and asked softly.
"Yes, Lord Jack... we seem to have some misunderstandings with you among our previous consuls, and some unpleasantness occurred in the secret meeting."
Landa said carefully.
He studied the expression of the gentleman in black hat calmly.
"Now, on behalf of Malek and Meade, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you and hope that you can forgive us for the mistakes we have committed before."
Snap.
Chen Lun gently closed the poetry collection in his hand and said with a half-smile:
"You and I are both consuls of the parliament, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, and there seems to be no provision in the "Generous Code" that consuls cannot have differences of opinion and disputes in secret meetings... So, what is your fault? ”
Landa's face stiffened.
Having said that, but...
The strength and status of the gentleman in front of me are probably no longer comparable to those of the Senate Consuls like them.
Early this morning, Princess Anna personally rode in a carriage and arrived at the Generosity Church in the Royal City under the secret protection of the Holy Guards of Bathing Light to visit Landa.
At first, Landa was a little happy, thinking that she had gained the attention of the Sun Royal Family.
But after a conversation, he, the consul, almost lost his temper on the spot...
Princess Anna first expressed her approval to Landa for the generous parliament, and then asked him to deliver a private letter to His Majesty Jack Spate. Finally, the princess expressed her congratulations in a very subtle way.
Landa was completely confused at the time and had no idea what the princess meant... so he tried to ask.
Princess Anna looked surprised. After a few seconds of silence, she just said:
"Convey my congratulations to my friend Mr. Jack for becoming a demigod..."
Until the princess left, Landa was almost still in a daze.
Only those two words kept echoing in His ears.
Demigod...
Landa suddenly panicked.
Even ignoring the fact that the princess and Jack are still good friends in private.
Landa knew very well that he had conspired with Houston, Malek, and Meade to seize Jack's position as the person in charge of the royal city. Although this matter has passed with Houston's death, and oneself can be regarded as getting his wish, this problem was forged long ago.
Jack is not only deeply valued by the Speaker and the King of Slaughter, but he has now been promoted to a demigod... If he turns around to settle this matter, what good end will happen to the three consuls?
What made Landa collapse the most was that not long after, the faceless waiter sent the latest secret information——
The King of Slaughter has already mastered five pieces of the unique divinity. After digesting the authority, he can prepare for the ceremony of becoming a god.
In addition, Speaker Azgierro also announced the murderous oracle under Conrad's crown - Jack Speight will no longer serve as the consul of the Senate, but will be directly promoted to the deputy speaker of the Generous Parliament!
Landa almost lost control on the spot...
After secret exchanges with Malek and Meade, the three of them unanimously decided to apologize to Jack Spate as soon as possible, admit their mistakes, and pray for his forgiveness... If they were to be liquidated, under the divination of the demigod of fate, they would have nowhere to go. If you escape, you will definitely die!
Even if they are killed, Jack's status in the Generous Council will not be shaken in any way... This is the most desperate part.
"Lord Jack, we were blinded by desire and tried to seize the identity of the person in charge of your royal city. We really deserve death!"
Landa's expression changed several times, and finally she gritted her teeth and said.
He lowered his head deeply, holding a letter, an irregular piece of gravel and a palm-sized octopus stone sculpture in his hands and presented them to him.
"This is a private letter that Princess Anna has entrusted me to forward to you. In addition, I heard that you are extremely passionate about knowledge. We have worked hard to collect these two mythological collections as an apology to you... I hope you can let us go. A way out.”
Chen Lun did not speak.
He just looked at Landa quietly.
The atmosphere solidified instantly.
This mature woman who seemed to be in her thirties had a stiff smile on her pretty face, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead unconsciously.
He didn't dare to speak rashly anymore, he just kept his hands raised in the air and remained motionless.
In his peripheral vision, the gentleman in black hat seemed to raise his hand and slowly came closer. However, the next second, he felt his face being pinched by a big hand and forcibly lifted up.
Landa's breath was stagnant, and the intense fear and uneasiness even made him, a saint who had lived for hundreds of years, tremble uncontrollably.
"Master Jack, please don't..."
Landa saw those calm and deep eyes and said pleadingly.
However, he only heard the man chuckle.
"Archon Landa, why are you sweating so much? Is this avatar sick?"
Landa was startled for a moment, then felt the hand leave her face.
After the black hat gentleman retracted his hand, he took the thing in his hand and said with concern with a half-smile:
"There is a problem with the incarnation, and it may be related to the body. Do you want me to go to the royal city to help you? Regarding the research on the incarnation, I boast that I still have some experience..."
"No, no need to trouble you, I just feel a little hot."
Landa said quickly.
His heart was beating fast at the moment, for fear that the other party would really go to the royal city to find his true identity.
"Huh..."
Chen Lun saw Landa looking scared to death and felt funny.
In fact, he did think about squeezing this woman to death just now, but soon gave up the idea... To be honest, he just found it boring.
Now, to him, Landa and the other three were not even qualified to be called enemies. At best, they could only be regarded as minor characters with some faults.
Seeing that the King of Slaughter was about to become a god, Chen Lun decided to let them go for the time being. If he made any small moves in the future, he would directly send the three guys on the road with a share of [Death of Destiny].
"In that case, let's forget it..."
Chen Lun smiled lightly.
"It's really hard for you to send your avatar to go there in person, Archon Landa. I received the letter and apology. Thank you."
"You don't have to be polite, this is what I should do."
Landa adjusted her hair and said quickly.
"If there's nothing else, then I won't disturb you, Master Jack..."
Chen Lun waved his hand.
Landa bowed his head in relief and left immediately.
After He left, Chen Lun sat back on the sofa and played with the irregular stone and the octopus statue.
【Mythical object-Meteor wreckage】
Item description: An extraterrestrial object that contains the knowledge of the stars will emit a strange brilliance from time to time. It is a brilliance that transcends human perception and seems to depict some indescribable information.
"It's talking to me, telling me where the soul goes."
People with keen insight may be able to glean unparalleled mysteries from the brilliance emitted by this stone.
【Mythical Object-Weird Stone Sculpture】
Item description: An ancient work of art that contains deep sea knowledge. It looks like a stone sculpture of an octopus. But if you look closely, you will find that it is just a mess of seaweed... But why are there jagged shapes on the seaweed? Suction cup?
"The depths of the sea are our destination."
"——The Charles family, family motto."
People with keen insight may be able to discover the hidden thoughts and information of the carver from this stone sculpture. Could it be the ladder to myth? Or is it the key to some kind of ruins?
‘Do they contain high-level knowledge of the stars and the deep sea respectively...’
Chen Lun touched two cold mythical objects with a smile on his lips.
He happened to have a vacancy in the mythological knowledge of these two pathways, so he directly turned on the "quantum reading" mode and immersed his consciousness in these two items.
A picture of the vast starry sky flashed through Chen Lun's mind. It was so majestic and majestic that it made people feel insignificant.
An indescribable invisible gaze is cast from the far side.
At this moment, Chen Lun's sanity value plummeted by 2 points...
He then acquired new knowledge.
[You have insight into the strange light of the "meteor debris" and discovered the mythical knowledge of the galaxy "Sequence Four - Witch"! 】
As for the feeling that the octopus statue brings to Chen Lun, it is more like a scroll of memories unfolded from a certain person's perspective.
He was a traveler, and he seemed to be keen on hand-carving. This statue was made by his hand... However, the last scene stayed on a certain voyage, with thick fog floating on the sea, and the distance could only be seen faintly. To some vague islands.
The person from the main perspective raised his hands and threw the statue into the sea, and these hands particularly attracted Chen Lun's attention.
It was a pair of webbed claws covered with dark green fish scales...
[You gained insight into the information on the "weird stone sculpture" and discovered the deep-sea mythological knowledge "Sequence Four - Apostle of Natural Disaster"! 】
‘Well, I got two pieces of mythological knowledge. ’
Chen Lun smiled.
He took another glance at the palm-sized octopus stone sculpture. Based on the description on the panel and the illusion he had just seen, he felt that this thing might be useful.
After putting the two things into the blood poem ring, Chen Lun finally opened the letter and read it.
This secret letter written by Princess Anna does not contain much content.
There was probably no more writing than half a sheet of paper.
First, she expressed her congratulations on Chen Lun's promotion to demigod, and then exchanged a few words about the trivial things that happened in the royal city during this period, including some exciting gossip in the aristocratic circle.
Finally, Princess Anna mentioned two important things.
The first was the recent serial murders in the empire. She expressed concern about the inexplicable increase in the number of extraordinary people in the wild, as well as the sudden appearance of pollution bugs.
Shelters in various places and branches of the Church of the Seven Gods are very busy with this. Princess Anna feels that this matter will probably get worse and eventually be difficult to contain.
She hopes that Chen Lun can make suggestions for her.
The description of another incident was in code, and the expression was relatively obscure, but Chen Lun understood the meaning behind it.
Princess Anna said in her letter that a new "Lightborn" came to the surface royal city from her hometown of Matthew and joined her command.
These new members of the Cross of the Sun say that Jack's name lives on in Matthew's land.
Princess Anna was surprised that Jack had been there, and she sincerely hoped that Chen Lun could help her gain the support of the Matthew people... If those dark descendants could return to the surface, it would be of great help to the current situation of the empire.
After Chen Lun read the letter, a task prompt box popped up on the panel at the right time——
