Chapter 153： The Test of the Black Knight

Chapter 153 The Test of the Black Knight

The sitting area in the living room on the first floor.

Chen Lun sat on the sofa, waiting quietly.

It was morning, and from time to time, well-dressed guests could be seen coming to the door. Most of them are men, either directly enter the club, or wait in the rest area like Chen Lun.

Chen Lun took a casual look at the surrounding environment, and found that the atmosphere of this fighting club was well done.

On the walls are oil paintings of bullfighting, fighting, wrestling and fighting with cold weapons, as well as the family emblems, shields and flags of some famous fighting families in history.

What interested Chen Lun more were the crossed long swords and a row of cold weapons standing in the corner.

It can be seen that this club is keen on hand-to-hand combat and fighting with cold weapons. It is a gathering circle for men who are modest on the surface but long for blood and fighting in their hearts.

"Hey buddy, would you like one?"

At this time, a hearty male voice came from the side.

Chen Lun turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man looking over with a smile, spreading a box of cigars in his hand, and beckoning to himself.

"no thank you."

Chen Lun responded with a polite smile.

"Oh, that's a pity, this is a high-end product from the Fossil City Tobacco Bureau..."

The man raised his eyebrows, took out one and smelled it.

"You don't seem to be a member of the club. I haven't seen you before... Did you come to see me today? Or have you made a decision?

Let me tell you a secret, the owner of this club, Mr. Charles, is a master swordsman... In addition to hosting regular fighting games, he occasionally imparts high-end swordsmanship skills to the members. "

The man seemed to be very talkative, talking in his mouth, he skillfully cut the cigar with scissors, and then lit the match with a snort.

After waiting for a second or two for the match to burn fully, he felt relieved to bring the flame close to the cigar.

"This is to ensure that the cigars will not be stained with a strange smell. Hey, it is a little personal experience of mine..."

The man took a puff on his cigar, as if suddenly realizing that he hadn't introduced himself yet, so he held out his hand.

"Haha, my name is Siebert, a vagrant, what about you?"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Siebert."

Chen Lun shook hands with him with a smile, and said casually:

"Jack, running a winery."

He looked at this easy-going man, Siebert.

The other party will definitely not be a vagrant, judging by his clothes and conversation, he is probably an aristocrat.

I have to say that this guy should be thirty or forty years old, but he shaved his beard clean. Coupled with his three-point handsome and seven-point yuppie appearance, he has a unique charm.

"Oh, the winery! If you have a chance, you must try Mr. Jack's fine wine!"

Siebert laughed.

At this moment, the waitress from before came over.

"Mr. Jack, this way please."

She bent down respectfully, and stretched out her hand to feint.

"Mr. Charles is waiting in the reception room."

"I'm in trouble."

Chen Lun stood up and straightened his black hat.

He then turned his head to look at Siebert on the sofa, and said goodbye to him.

"Oh, Mr. Jack, go get busy... I still have a swordsmanship lesson to attend, this is the club's premium service, you should try it if you have the chance."

Siebert winked. If you didn't listen carefully to what he said, you might think you were going to a private room to pick your favorite technician.

Chen Lun followed the waitress upstairs and stopped in front of a room at the corner end of the third floor.

"Mr. Charles is inside."

The waitress whispered, raising her hand as a signal.

Immediately, she bowed slightly, turned and left.

tuk tuk...

Chen Lun knocked on the door.

"Come in, Mr. Jack."

A calm middle-aged male voice came from inside.

Chen Lun pushed the door and entered.

What came into view was a spacious room with a tall bookcase on the left and right sides. In the middle is a surrounding sofa and coffee table. The window is opened on one side and is being opened for ventilation. The whole room is well lit.

A middle-aged man in a wine-red dress and a black tie on his chest was sitting on the sofa, reading an old book.

When the door opened, he looked up and saw Chen Lun coming in, so he put down the book on hand and stood up to greet him.

"Nice meeting, Mr. Jack."

Charles shook hands with Chen Lun, and immediately motioned him to sit down casually.

"Hello, Mr. Charles."

Chen Lun sat on the sofa and glanced at the old books on the coffee table. The text on it is very thin and cannot be seen clearly, but there are several black and white pictures, which seem to be screenshots of the archaeological team's photos.

There are several tall statues in the photo, with blurred faces and tall stature.

"Mr. Jack is also very interested in ancient history?"

Charles spoke softly.

Chen Lun looked up at him, and found that this middle-aged man was somewhat unique. There was a fresh yellow orchid in the breast pocket of his wine red dress.

"Yes, Mr. Charles, I think many unknowns are hidden in the lost past."

Chen Lun laughed.

Charles nodded silently, as if agreeing with his point of view.

"This book records an archaeological operation many years ago. A professor from a city university led a team to excavate seven giant statues in an ancient ruins, which seem to be statues of righteous gods more than 3,000 years ago..."

He picked up the old book, flipped it over, and handed it to Chen Lun.

"Look, isn't it amazing?"

Chen Lun took a closer look and found that the seven statues in the picture were somewhat different from what he had imagined.

The three gods who appear as women are all young and not old. This is somewhat different from what Chen Lun saw in the oil painting "The Banquet of the Seven Gods".

'Mother Moonlight is missing...'

Chen Lun frowned slightly, observed carefully, and saw a vague moon pattern on the base of a certain statue.

But he found that this statue was indeed a young woman.

‘The God of the Moon Path…is the same one? In the past three thousand years, has there been any replacement? '

Chen Lun guessed.

In his impression, no matter in the previous life or in this life, the **** at the end of the path of the moon is the Moonlight Granny, an image of an amiable old woman.

‘Or, the so-called images of the gods are mostly guessed by mortals...because no one has ever seen them? '

Chen Lun pondered for a while, and then found a surprising place on the picture of the old book.

His eyes froze.

On the base patterns of the seven statues, there is no one belonging to the [Earth faction] at all!

The only different statue has a simple circle pattern on its base, as if it is a starting point, a period, and a ring.

Looking up, the image of this statue is a thin old man, sitting quietly, ordinary, not like a great existence at all.

"I believe you can also see it, Mr. Jack... This is one of the seven righteous gods, but was later replaced by the **** of the earth 'Mud Man'."

Charles said softly.

He slowly closed the old book, and after a flash, the book disappeared.

"Do you know where the archaeological team went? They all died, and the seven excavated statues were once again buried by the collapsed ruins...

This is the truth that should not be known by the world, and those who know it will be cursed and die. The records in this old book should also not exist. It will disintegrate into ashes and disappear completely in this world once it appears in this world...

Are you afraid of the curse, Mr. Jack. "

Charles looked at Chen Lun calmly, and said slowly.

【You read the truth of history, and you are cursed from the earth! 【Poison of History LV1】! 】

【Poison of History LV1 (Curse)】

Curse Description: You will be punished by the earth because you know the history that you shouldn't know.

Curse effect: Every once in a while, you will encounter the "wheel of history" and be threatened by the "same history".

'Curse of history...'

Chen Lun stared at the club owner in front of him.

From the moment he walked in and sat down, he had a faint feeling that the other party was not simple.

With the old books presented by the other party, the words spoken, and the subsequent performance, it can be determined that he has a mysterious origin, not an ordinary club owner.

But according to the sensory feedback, Charles is indeed an ordinary person, not a transcendent...Since this is the case, he shouldn't know so much about the mysterious field.

"Knowledge itself is a curse, Mr. Charles, it makes people rational, and reason is the most terrible poison in the world..."

Chen Lun answered blankly.

“I am not afraid of curses, I am only worried that I will eventually die in a meaningless corner because of ignorance.”

Charles gave him a deep look, and then showed a meaningful smile.

【Bairswolf's favorability towards you has increased! Currently being friendly! 】

Chen Lun's pupils shrank.

The club owner named Charles in front of me turned out to be...

"Black Knight" Byers!

A side story character in the public beta version 1.0, [Moon Faction Sequence 5-Black Knight], the "former Purple Moonlight Squad Captain" who was jointly hunted down by the Church of the Sun, the Church of the Moon, and the asylum.

"Purple Moonlight" is the elite transcendental unit of the Moon Church, usually stationed in large city-states, as one of the most powerful transcendental teams in the empire.

'Why is he here? ! '

Chen Lun was extremely surprised.

Logically speaking, Byers' plot mission should take place in another Bangcheng area a few months after the public beta...

【Trigger B-level hidden mission: The test of the black knight! 】

Mission description: For some reason, the black knight Byers was attracted to Amber City, and then he became curious about you and decided to test you.

If the test is passed, it will affect his next plan and deployment, and maybe let you participate. If you fail the test, you too will die tragically under the curse of history.

Mission rewards: 10000 experience points, 20 gold pounds, Byers' favorability, and [Moon Faction Sequence 8] Extraordinary Knowledge*1

After reading the task prompt, Chen Lun thought about it for a while, and finally chose to accept it.

This is a strong man standing at the end of the middle sequence, only one step away from the saint. If he can gain his friendship, it will be of great help to both himself and the team in the future.

In addition, I still know the plot of "Black Knight" Byers, so I can say that I have the advantage.

As for the threat of the curse...

It happens that it can be solved together with Noah's matter.

‘This curse doesn’t seem to have a low weight, but it’s only LV1 after all… Just looking at its description, it’s a little hard to understand. '

Chen Lun thought to himself.

'What is the rolling of the wheel of history, the threat of the same history...? '
