Chapter 33： day of the day

Chapter 33 The day of the liar

This was the first breakfast Chen Lun ate at Mrs. Caroline's place, and it was also the first rice he ate since time travelling.

He was secretly moved to tears, expressing his satisfaction.

Ms. Caroline's craftsmanship is great. The aroma of rice wrapped in egg liquid and stir-fried in butter is full of charm.

Although Chen Lun didn't like fish very much, he finished it without any leftovers, and drank a cup of scented tea comfortably.

"Is that your husband, Mrs. Caroline."

He noticed the two photo frames placed on the cabinet and couldn't help asking.

Mrs. Caroline turned around, looked at her and replied with a smile:

"Oh yes, that's my husband Henry...and our son Oliver."

"Are they also in Amber City now?"

Chen Lun asked aloud.

Mrs. Caroline was silent for a moment.

"No, Henry died for the Empire many years ago...Oliver too."

Mrs. Caroline got up and took the photo album, and wiped the dust off it with a handkerchief.

The photo shows a young Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Henry in military uniform, and another photo shows their son Oliver.

"They died heroically in the overseas landing battle... May the glory of the sun shine on them forever."

Mrs. Caroline said a prayer, and silently put down the photo album.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Caroline."

Chen Lun apologized.

Floy on the side also glanced at him, and through the black satin, she seemed to be able to feel her slightly reproachful "eyes".

"It's okay, little Jack, it's over..."

Mrs. Caroline returned to her old smile, and she came over to refill Chen Lun's scented tea.

"Flowers bloom like fire, but also like loneliness.

Time may make people forget, but as long as I can remember them..."

Chen Lun looked at the gray-haired woman, not knowing what to say.

He had actually heard about the battle that Mrs. Caroline was talking about. The Trisul Empire had coveted land outside the mainland since a long time ago.

The giant sea island closest to the Trisul Empire is just beyond the extreme east. That piece of island is called Misty Island, and there are also people living on it, and there are also civilizations.

The overseas landing war launched by the Trisur Empire can actually be said to be a colonial war.

But for so many years, it all ended in failure.

Even after the public testing of several versions in the previous life, the empire’s colonial rule plan still has no progress. On that foggy island, I don't know what kind of powerful power is hidden, which can resist the attack of the empire.

"Mrs. Caroline, your cooking skills are amazing, can I learn from you?"

Floy put down the spoon, raised her head and smiled.

Mrs. Caroline was surprised, and immediately sat down happily beside her.

"Of course, little Floyd."

Chen Lun was also surprised by Floyd's words.

But then I guessed her intention, probably to divert Mrs. Caroline's sad emotions.

What a nice girl.

"Remember to cook the cod with milk in advance, and don't break it when you cut it..."

Listening to Mrs. Caroline happily explaining the essentials of making fish ball risotto, Chen Lun gave Floyd a thumbs up.

Floy responded with a faint smile.

Then Chen Lun expressed his gratitude to Mrs. Caroline for the hospitality, and went out immediately.

After walking out of the corridor, he planned to start today's trick mode. When passing by the coffee shop next to the flower shop, I saw Connie and Kent sitting outside under the umbrella.

Kent was dancing and talking about something, with an exaggerated expression, but Connie was unmoved.

She folded her hands, a little distracted.

Chen Lun ignored and didn't care, and chose to leave directly.

In the alley across the street.

Two youths from the Iron Fist gang were smoking cigarettes boredly.

"Hey man, why don't we just go in there and grab that alien girl!"

"I think you are crazy, this street is taken care of by Viscount Pompeii in the inner city, especially the flower shop.

I heard that the landlord, Mrs. Caroline, is the widow of Viscount Pompeii's comrade-in-arms... If you want to die, don't drag me! "

The young man who proposed to arrest people directly was taken aback.

"How do you know this!?"

"Don't forget, the boss often goes out to drink with the big shots in the inner city. The last time I heard a subordinate of an officer say it casually."

The young man threw away the cigarette **** and tugged on his leather jacket.

The other guy was a little impatient.

"So what now? The out-of-town girl has been hiding inside all day...

The man will come out to hang out, or tie him up first, and then let him bring the woman out. "

The young man who lost his cigarette **** reluctantly took off his felt cap and scratched his hair.

He glanced at his companion like an idiot.

"Then you can try it, in case he calls the police, there will definitely be two of us in the drain the next day."

"Okay, okay, just wait!"

…

Chen Lun bought a newspaper and sat on a bench in the square.

On the temporary high wooden platform, there is still a monk from the Red Apple Church standing today, tirelessly preaching.

"Ah, great lady Qiangwei, thank you for giving us health and vitality, passion and blood...

It is your compassionate eyes cast on the world, cast seeds in the garden, grow into trees...

The holy worm eats the apples and turns them into honey, loves the suffering and pain of the world, and heals their sorrows and adversities..."

The monk walked down the high platform with a look of compassion.

Two church guards who didn't know where they came from, each holding a tray with small boxes placed on it.

Many onlookers rushed forward excitedly, rushing to buy those small boxes.

"Praise the Rose."

The monk lightly tapped his left chest and forehead with his index finger, spread his five fingers open, held the sky empty, and made a prayer gesture.

Looking at the monk in red robe, Chen Lun couldn't help cursing.

Ah Hong, you are lying again, let’s take a break and go to make a sacrifice, okay?

Chen Lun knew exactly what was inside those small boxes.

is a supernatural biological secretion called "fruit honey", which has the effect of healing and strengthening the body.

The side effects are not obvious, but it is very wicked.

Because it will shorten lifespan and is slightly addictive.

The secretions pulled out by finger-sized extraordinary maggots after eating apples are fruit honey.

Chen Lun felt disgusted just thinking about it.

But these ordinary people don't know it, but are willing to pay a huge "donation" in exchange for this miracle drug.

He sighed softly, the Red Apple Church is indeed very good at this.

"Hey, do you think the tax cut proposal proposed by Senator Daniel will pass?"

"How is it possible, this is too unrealistic."

Two office workers were chatting on the bench next to them, which attracted Chen Lun's attention.

He always felt that it sounded familiar, so he turned the newspaper over.

Sure enough, I saw a chubby middle-aged man who talked a lot on a big board. He was the protagonist of recent discussions, Representative Daniel.

"Sigh, Senator Daniel is a kind and honest man, but it's a pity that the parliament has never listened to those opinions."

"Good guy? I don't think so... His proposals are obviously impossible to pass.

Mostly, he just used it to catch people’s attention and canvass votes. I heard that he is planning to run for the council of Fossil City..."

The office worker who spoke had a contemptuous tone, and he didn't seem to like that congressman very much.

His companion was annoyed.

"Why do you think of Senator Daniel in this way? He is one of the few councilors in Amber City who is willing to put himself in the shoes of civilians!"

"Oh, come on... Take this proposal as an example, after the tax reduction, Amber City's finances will not be able to support the operation of the city at all.

At that time, even the kerosene lamps on the road will not be lighted by lamp holders, so don’t fall into the ditch when you go out at night! "

The two office workers argued, but Chen Lun didn't listen carefully.

Because he suddenly remembered something, this Daniel Councilor seemed to be the target of the protection of the small guild in his previous life.

It is also this congressman who will be killed by Dolly in the end...
