Chapter 579 Lucy is missing (please vote!)
"Huh?"
Chen Lun, who was sitting on the sofa reading a collection of poems, suddenly stopped turning the pages and looked slightly startled.
Floy on the side cast a doubtful look and asked with concern:
"What's wrong?"
Chen Lun shook his head and smiled back at her.
"Nothing, just someone praying to me."
Floy hummed and stood up immediately, indicating that she would make him a cup of hot milk.
She knew that her man was already a demigod and had the capacity to receive prayers. Although she was inevitably a little curious, she was still sensible as always and did not choose to ask.
Chen Lun looked at the back of Floy's beautiful black dress, calmed down, and felt the prayer coming from a distant place.
"You are the beginning of a great chapter, the beginning of a grand epic... You are the end of the supreme drama, the end of all myths... The Lord of the Foreign Country who hides in the fairyland, the white-scaled dragon who explores destiny, the Crown of Jack Spate Next..."
As if through the endless void, he saw a group of students praying to him anxiously in the freezing St. Byron College.
"Teacher, senior Lucy is missing! We originally made an appointment to go out together today, but she is not in the apartment. She has been searched everywhere... Raphael restored the historical pictures of the past, but was blocked by a more powerful force. Disturbed by the power, we suspect that she encountered some danger!”
Feliciano's forehead was sweating, and he closed his eyes and chanted extremely nervously.
Raphael stood beside him with a solemn expression, while Ahsoka's eyes showed worry and concern.
"...We hope to get your help, teacher."
Feliciano finally said softly.
Chen Lun looked down at the three of them, frowning slightly.
'Lucy is missing? ’
She was an ordinary student who kept a low profile on weekdays and never caused trouble. Why did she suddenly disappear... Chen Lun was puzzled by this.
‘The present state of life of Lucy Payne. ’
bite!
Chen Lun muttered something silently and threw up a gold pound. After it rolled a few times, it landed in the palm of his hand, with the sun face pattern on the front facing up.
‘Well, still alive. ’
Chen Lun looked calm.
He gently raised his left index finger, and a world map appeared out of thin air on the clean coffee table. The golden pound in his right hand was ejected again.
‘Lucy Payne’s current position. ’
bite!
Round gold coins rolled around the map.
It first rolled around the territory of the Cuisul Empire, and then slowly moved towards the north, entering the territory of the Byron Kingdom, as if there was an invisible force secretly pushing it forward.
Eventually, it slowed down near the Port of Enlightenment in the Byron Bend area.
‘Interfering with my divination? ’
Chen Lun sneered.
He snapped his fingers.
Snap!
"Shining New Star", "Great Destiny" and "Destined Man" are gathered together, plus Chen Lun's own sequence of three demigods, and the [Hidden] bookmark's power bonus to the destiny ability.
Even if he is an angel, Chen Lun is confident that he can touch it from afar!
His body exudes a faint psychedelic color, and his eyes are as bright as white diamonds.
The gold coin on the coffee table was about to lie down, but it suddenly stood up and continued to roll... It passed the Qidian Port and St. Byron College, continued up the ocean, and went directly to the vast sea. deep.
There is already the edge area at the top of the map, and a human settlement area called "Explorer Islands" is also displayed, and this is already the limit area that has been explored in the Sun Continent.
But the gold coins still didn't stop.
After running over the Explorer Islands, it rolled off the map and finally fell under the coffee table with a clanking sound.
Chen Lun's strange vision gradually disappeared. He sat on the sofa, quietly looking at the gold coins on the ground, frowning slightly.
"I actually went to Misty Island..."
There are three known Misty Islands, located in the depths of the Misty Sea to the southwest, due north and southeast of the Sun Continent, forming a triangle that surrounds the entire continent.
According to the predictions of divination, Lucy's current location is on the Misty Islands due north.
After Chen Lun drank the hot milk made by Floy himself, he dropped a message from the air to Feliciano and other students——
"I already know."
Ignoring the students' joy, Chen Lun immediately said hello to Floy and got up to go out.

More than ten minutes later.
Baiju District in the north of Byron Kingdom, Bunsen Port.
Chen Lun was still dressed in black clothes and a black hat, and also wore a thickened high-collar windbreaker. He held a white cane and boarded a medium-sized ship for both merchants and passengers that was about to sail.
This ship is called the "Homecoming". Strictly speaking, it is a product of the Moses Voyage Group. It is a ship sold by the empire to the Byron Kingdom as a strategic material.
The voyage route of the Homing Ship is quite simple, that is, it goes to the Explorer Islands in the far north of the Misty Sea, and then returns. It trades living supplies and transports a small amount of special products and guests.
Chen Lun had long discovered that the coastal area of the Misty Sea was normal, but the thick fog covered the far sea, which significantly interfered with the spatial movement of his demigod... So he planned to take a boat to the Explorer Islands first. Then fly in the air from there and go to the Misty Island to search for Lucy's whereabouts.
‘There is a high-level influence behind this matter...’
Chen Lun handed the bill to the crew, walked straight to the deck, leaned against the guardrail and looked at the sea, thinking in his heart.
Lucy is just an ordinary mid-level extraordinary person. The only special thing is her high charm and high luck.
'Especially her luck value... experienced two sudden surges in succession. Before I left the academy, her luck value had reached over 90 points. This is very abnormal. ’
Chen Lun had not divined Lucy, and even spied on her fate, but everything was business as usual.
He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the sea level, already suspecting that Lucy's sudden disappearance might be related to the skyrocketing luck value.
Maybe it was precisely because luck had reached the special value of 100 unknowingly that it triggered some unknown changes.
‘Just go and have a look and you’ll find out... It just so happens that I’m also very curious about Misty Island. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
His fearlessness stems from his confidence in strength.
At this time, some more passengers boarded the deck, making a lot of noise.
Women hold crying children in their arms and hum the famous local nursery rhymes to soothe them. Several men who had drunk some wine laughed and cursed at each other, and the topic seemed to be related to the tavern girl on the shore.
There are also some well-dressed middle-aged businessmen, exchanging news all the time, with expressions on their faces that are sometimes excited and sometimes frowning.
There was a figure among them that caught Chen Lun's attention. This person was wrapped in a thick coat, scarf and woolen hat, covering his appearance. As soon as he got on the deck, he couldn't wait to walk to the guardrail and took a few deep breaths.
Chen Lun glanced at it calmly, his eyes filled with mist.
[Boone (Magic Sequence Five-Sculptor/School of Everything)]
If it were just a Sequence Five Transcendent, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to attract Chen Lun's attention, but the key point is that this person's race is not human...
[Race: Finman (Northern Mainland)]
‘Extraordinary creatures…’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
When he left Peacock City and went to the Royal City, he took the circus on the "Pearl Bamogo" and sailed. On the way, he was attacked by the Fin Man... This extraordinary creature is considered a humanoid intelligent race, similar to the Siren. But the talent is slightly lower, only higher than that of ordinary humans.
Chen Lun was also surprised that this person did not take the deep sea route, but the magic route...
From the loudspeaker hanging outside the iron wall of the cabin, the first mate's rough voice sounded, shouting the precautions twice in a row and informing the passengers that the ship was about to sail.
Soon, sailors were checking the sea conditions along the railing, the anchor was pulled up, and a loud whistle penetrated the dock.
Woo——
The Homing Ship slowly sailed away from the shore.
Chen Lun looked back and saw that there were far fewer pedestrians on the pier than when he arrived, and they were scattered. These people seemed not to care about the departure of the Homing Ship, and just walked by in a hurry.
There was mist all around.
An inexplicable and strange atmosphere quietly rose.
Chen Lun frowned reflexively.
He always felt that something was wrong, but found nothing. There was no change in spiritual intuition, and he secretly used divination to confirm, indicating that everything was as usual.
‘Interesting…’
Chen Lun calmly withdrew his gaze.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the fin mage named Boon, taking out a thick tome from his arms and studying it in the sea breeze.
Seeing his serious look and curious eyes, Chen Lun couldn't help but think of the professors at St. Byron College and even the librarian Galio.
'He's a very intellectually curious guy. ’
Chen Lun commented.
He was about to take out a book of poetry to pass the time when a group of men and women wearing plaid robes quietly arrived on the deck.
There were seven or eight of them in total, and they didn’t have much luggage on hand, so they didn’t look like they were traveling far away.
These people walked to the side of the guardrail on Chen Lun's right, whispering to each other, and glancing at Boon rather vaguely, observing something secretly.
Chen Lun leaned on the guardrail, opened the poetry collection and read, sensing everything on the deck without raising his head.
‘The elite “Heart of Consciousness” team of extraordinary beings from the Madman School...are they hunting down the criminal? Or some other action? In short, the target is the fin mage named Boone. ’
He understood in his heart, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He seemed very interested in what was going to happen next.
As far as he knew, the School of Madman's behavior was actually very conservative. To put it harshly, they "closed themselves off" and were only interested in knowledge. They didn't bother to pay attention to all irrelevant trivial matters.
Now that the Heart of Consciousness team is on board, Boone has either committed something serious, or he has something on him that the School of Madmen seeks.
The seven or eight men and women in plaid robes seemed to have discussed a countermeasure, and quietly dispersed their formation, mingling among the passengers on the deck... It seemed that they planned to secretly surround Boone.
Boone was immersed in reading the tome, his eyes obsessed.
Another page turned, and he sighed with satisfaction.
At this time, he finally realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw several familiar figures passing by in his sight. Boon's expression changed drastically.
He quickly stuffed the tome back into his chest and took out a palm-sized stone sculpture, as if intending to protect himself.
However, Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
The stone carving in this guy's hand looks quite familiar.
The specifications are quite consistent with the "weird stone sculpture", but it is not octopus-shaped, but a two-headed dead fish.
Just when conflict is about to break out.
boom! !
The "Homecoming", which had sailed quite far out of the port, suddenly shook.
The passengers on the deck screamed.
In the surrounding fog, hundreds of huge black figures appeared faintly. The outline looked like some kind of big fish with tall dorsal fins, or some weird sea creatures.
The sky was filled with dense clouds at some point, as if a storm was about to come.
Chen Lun watched all this silently.
He finally knew what was wrong with what he felt before...
The fate of this whole boat of people came to an abrupt end here.
'They will all die in this shipwreck. ’(End of this chapter)
