Chapter 161: You are my only light (two in one)

Chapter 161 You are my only light (two in one)

"Hey, Candice!"

An urgent call made Candice raise her head.

In sight, a young woman also wearing a hospitality uniform was walking towards her.

"Reda, what's the matter, what's the matter?"

Candice's eyes showed vigilance. This female colleague once spoke ill of her to other guests behind her back. She was a bitch.

"Mr. Charles is giving a public lecture, fighting with a young and handsome gentleman in sword fighting! Why don't you go and see it? It's really great!"

A woman named Ruida described it vividly, her eyes full of sparkles.

"A lot of people are watching, that scene is really rare!"

Listening to her description, the words contained keywords such as "black-haired youth", "tall and straight" and "angel face", which suddenly reminded Candice of the gentleman named "Jack".

She hesitated because she was on duty.

But soon she discovered that more and more people were leaving the hall and rushing in in groups.

I can hear a few related words from time to time.

These few words, like kittens one after another, jumped into Candice's heart, scratching and scratching, making her unbearably strong curiosity.

Squeak!

She stood up suddenly, and the chair made a harsh noise.

"It doesn't matter! If you skip work, you will skip work, just take a look, and then come back immediately!"

Candice said to herself.

People are like this, as long as you make up your mind to do badly, the entanglement at the beginning will disappear, and then all will be relieved and relaxed, and there will even be a little inexplicable expectation and excitement.

Candice took a step forward and rushed inside.

The female colleague Ruida looked at her back and sneered.

"I know you can't help being tempted, little Bichi... Tell Mr. Charles about your skipping work and see how you explain it."

Candice followed the direction of the crowd and ran to the door of the open-air training room in one breath. As soon as I squeezed in, I saw many figures forming a circle.

"Everyone in the club today should be here, right?!"

Candice thought to herself, secretly surprised.

Clang!

Jingle!

Clang!

There was a crisp sound of metal clashing in my ears, as well as exclamations from everyone around me.

Candice finally squeezed into the front of the crowd.

When she saw the scene in the field, she couldn't help covering her mouth.

"Oh my God! The sun is up!"

The black-haired young man had taken off his black dress coat, revealing the white shirt inside. He was holding a long sword and was fighting fiercely with Mr. Charles.

【Knight swordsmanship LVMAX (passive)】!

After adding 4 skill points, this passive skill will be fully charged.

Various offensive, defensive, counterattack and coping skills flashed through Chen Lun's mind at the moment, and he was very proficient, as if he had gained more than ten years of swordsmanship experience out of thin air.

Holding the hilt of the sword, he stroked the non-slip leather with his thumb, feeling quite familiar with it.

With a sudden lunge and a deft bounce, the long sword in his hand attacked Byers from a tricky angle.

"This sword is not bad!"

Byers said.

He took a step back, raised the short sword lightly, and held the long sword.

Immediately, he pressed the dagger against Chen Lun's arm, swung it upwards, and slashed at Chen Lun's neck.

Chen Lun dodged short and bumped forward with his shoulder. The inner side of Byers' arm was impacted.

The movements of the two were extremely swift and fierce, sword lights overflowing, you come and go.

The long sword collided with the short sword, bounced off, and sparks burst out.

Zizi-clang!

It was another sword collision, but the black-haired young man stepped closer with ease, and immediately strangled Mr. Charles' short sword with his long sword. the back of the hand.

Boom!

With a clang, Mr. Charles' dagger fell to the ground and was broken into several pieces.

It must be because after a high-intensity battle, it has long been unable to support it.

The long sword of the black-haired young man cut across a beautiful arc, screaming through the air, and then landed firmly on Mr. Charles' shoulder.

Zheng!

The long sword trembled slightly, and the wind from the sword blew Mr. Charles' hair.

【You defeated Byerswolf (in spirit state) and gained 3000 experience points! 】

Everyone fell into dead silence.

A long while.

Suddenly, it was as if a pot had exploded, and there was a fierce exclamation from the crowd.

The famous swordsman of the Foil Fighting Club, Mr. Charles, was defeated by an unknown young man!

A few of them were in the training room before, laughing at Chen Lun's muscular men, their faces were shocked at the moment, and then they looked embarrassed.

They looked at each other.

"If he didn't have a weapon, I feel like I could still punch him all over the floor..."

"Oh! Come on Mike, don't kid yourself... this is pathetic!"

Byers ignored the excitement of the others, and showed a surprised expression on his own.

"Mr. Jack, to be honest, I'm surprised..."

He said.

"Your progress is really too fast... Swordsmanship genius? Combat talent? Or something else... I don't know, and I can't describe it in words."

Byers said, took two steps forward, and stopped suddenly.

His eyes were sharp, and he warned in a low voice:

"In short, your talent is scary and dangerous... Don't expose it easily, otherwise it may attract the attention of certain beings."

Chen Lun was startled for a moment, then seriously said:

"Thank you for your reminder."

He turned the long sword upside down, held the hilt and saluted in front of his chest.

Byers nodded, then refused the other people's persuasion, pushed away the crowd, and left alone.

Everyone only thought that he was defeated in the process of teaching swordsmanship, and felt that he had lost face and was unwilling to stay any longer.

But only Chen Lun knew in his heart that the black knight was on the verge of collapse because of the body he was using now, after the high-intensity battle just now.

In order to avoid collapse in full view, he chose to leave quickly.

"Oh, my sun! Mr. Jack, you are wonderful!"

Siebert rushed forward and said excitedly.

Immediately he came closer again and whispered:

"I knew it! You did block the bullet with your cane just now, didn't you!"

His tone was firm, obviously no matter what Chen Lun explained, he took this matter as a fact.

Chen Lun simply stopped explaining, handed the long sword back to him, and chuckled lightly:

"Thank you for your long sword, Mr. Siebert."

"Whoa! You're welcome, and instead, thank you for using it!"

Siebert showed an exaggerated smile.

"Don't worry, after I go back, I will definitely take good care of this long sword and use it as a family heirloom sword... When I am old, I will tell my son, grandson and great-grandson about its deeds. There was a master swordsman who used it to defeat Over another swordsmanship master!"

"You are really funny."

Chen Lun was successfully amused by his words, and then sighed sincerely.

The crowd watching around was very excited, and several people came towards Chen Lun.

"Hey sir, may I ask..."

But they had just opened their mouths, and before they could finish speaking, they saw the black-haired young man turn around and retrieve the silver cane and black hat he had placed by the wall.

The other party put on the black hat and walked away with a silver cane.

Everyone who approached him, without exception, failed.

It seems that he is always a few steps away from him, but he just can't catch up. In the end, he could only watch his back and disappeared at the door of the open-air training room.

Among them was a waitress who was worried about her gains and losses. She was standing there, biting her lip, wondering what she was thinking.

It's New Year's Eve soon.

After this night, it will be 4419 in the solar calendar.

According to the customs of people in this era, New Year's Eve generally requires praying to the existence one believes in, and then preparing the Holy Communion in advance according to the etiquette of the church where one lives.

General communion specifications are based on beef, turkey and goose as the staple food, supplemented by unleavened bread, sugar cakes and fresh fruit.

Different churches have different details.

For example, the Church of the Sun will require gin brewed with dew, the Church of the Moon will increase the number of plums, the Church of the Red Apple will not do without red apples and red wine, and the Hailing Tuan will need pickled salted fish and kelp soup, etc.

There are no special requirements for the "communion" at Jack Manor tonight, because the members present are not church believers.

Chen Lun sat at the dining table in the living room, eating Floyd's special fried beef tenderloin.

The other members sat down at the table, and a gift he had prepared was placed on each person's table.

The gifts of Golov and Barton are very simple. Each of them has two [low-sequence conspiracy faction mysterious substances], which is enough for them to carry out a mysterious accumulation.

As expected, when they opened the small gift box and saw the two small gray **** inside, they showed surprise expressions.

"Thank you for the gift of the leader!"

The two stood up and saluted with respectful expressions.

Chen Lun waved his hands casually, motioning for them to sit down.

Maggie's gift was a bottle of extraordinary beef-flavored red wine. This bottle of wine cost Chen Lun a lot of thought.

After all, it took him a long time to acquire a supernatural material similar to beef from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce. Then when he used [Bloody Brew], he happened to brew red wine with this taste.

Maggie unwrapped the wrapping paper, sniffed the mouth of the bottle, and blushed excitedly.

She said that there are two happiest things in the past few days. One is that she received this bottle of "beef red wine", and the other is that she will go out in a few days to complete the "special commission" of the team leader - to investigate the plague.

She really cared about this matter.

This made Chen Lun very pleased.

Noah's gift, he thought about it for a long time, after all, this "rich second generation" basically has everything.

In the end, Noah saw his embarrassment, so he proposed that he wanted to seriously paint a portrait for Mr. Leader. But Noah hoped that Chen Lun could adjust his posture according to his wishes.

Chen Lun kindly fulfilled his small request as a New Year's Eve gift...Of course, he asked very carefully and tactfully, and confirmed that he was not just a model.

This made Chen Lun slightly relieved.

So what was contained in the gift box for Noah was just a pack of simple candies. He remembered that Noah usually likes sweets very much, and Miss Rosa once added a lot of sugar to Noah's black tea.

Connie's gift is a "chicken rib of chicken rib" that Chen Lun found in the pile of "strange things and odds and ends".

It was a finger-sized miniature pendulum named "Hundred Ticks".

The effect is that it can make the user fall asleep immediately by swinging it a hundred times. And its price is that after waking up, it will start to swing by itself. If it fails to fully wake up and leave the bed within a hundred times, the user will fall into sleep again, and the cycle repeats.

This weird thing is a functional "chicken rib", but it is very suitable for a technician like Connie, especially when she recently complained to Chen Lun that she has some insomnia.

So when she opened the gift box and thought it was an ordinary decoration, Chen Lun smiled and explained to her how to use it and the price.

Connie almost cheered out of joy, because she finally got a good night's sleep!

Finally, as for Floy's gift...

Late at night.

The balcony on the third floor.

Chen Lun put a short fluffy black cloak on Floy's shoulders.

Through her fingers through her pale golden long hair, with a slight flick, the hair fell like a waterfall.

Under the moonlight, she looked extremely holy.

"thanks…"

Floy turned her head slightly and said in a low voice.

"You're welcome, it suits you."

The cloak seems to have a hazy feeling, emitting a fine and misty black mist.

This is a piece of [D-level strange thing-black mist cloak] that Chen Lun picked up from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce. Because of its cost-effectiveness, it has been unsalable for a long time.

The effect of the cloak is that when it is attacked or spied on, it will generate a thin layer of black mist, which has a slight protective ability. Physically roughly equivalent to a piece of chain mail, mentally similar to a layer of the lowest protective shield.

Its price is that after activating the protection, the user will fall into a state of black fog and be blinded for six hours.

So that's what caused it not to sell, but it just happened to fit Floy.

The fine mist emitted by the cloak seems to have a constant temperature effect, and it is considered a good piece of clothing to wear at ordinary times.

"I have a gift for you too."

Floy said softly.

"Ok?"

Chen Lun was surprised.

Immediately, he saw Floy wave her little hand, and the grape ring on her finger flashed slightly.

A beautifully packaged gift box appeared in her hands.

After taking it, Chen Lun took it apart under Floyd's smiling "watching".

Inside lay a black leather glove quietly.

"This is a weird thing I forged with the power of [Moonsmith]... Your other hand should be very cold."

Chen Lun's heart skipped a beat.

He raised his hands, and on his right hand was wearing a brown leather glove [Firework in Palm], but his left hand was empty.

"Froy..."

"Occasionally, I will help the team accept some commissions in exchange for some extraordinary materials..."

Floy's ethereal voice came.

"I made this present for you out of them."

【D-level creepy thing-palm moonlight】

Item description: Contains the power of the moon. It looks like a black leather glove. It seems to be very warm when worn, because the person who forged it has warmth in his heart.

Item Effect: You can summon dead souls from corpses and talk to them. NOTE: Corpses were dead for no more than 24 hours.

Item cost: After each use, it needs to shine under the moonlight for a period of time.

"Thank you, Floyd... I really like this gift too."

Chen Lun chuckled lightly.

He slowly put the glove on his left hand.

A warmth came from the hand, which was different from that of the right hand.

"When I first saw you, it reminded me of my brother..."

Floy turned her head to "look" at the night sky, as if staring at the purple moon.

"But then I know, it's different...

Does God love His creation? I do not know.

But I know that the world owes favor to the gods, as I owe grace to you. "

She turned her head back gently, her head was slightly lowered, and the ethereal voice continued:

"Master Jack, please allow me to call you this once...

When you save me, I will be yours from then on, and I will obey your vows. "

Chen Lun was silent for a few seconds.

He slowly stretched out his hand, gently supported Floyd's chin, and raised her head.

"Since I honor my wishes, I hope you don't have to bow your head to me so far."

The corner of Floy's mouth slightly raised, revealing one, which made Chen Lun feel a sweet smile.

"Yes, Floy knows."

After a while.

Floy folded her hands, clenched them together, gently placed between her eyebrows, and prayed to Ziyue.

Chen Lun looked at her puzzled.

"What's the matter, Floy?"

She spoke softly:

"After tonight, a new chapter is about to begin, and I see light passing by."

‘Meteor…? '

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He looked up at the night sky, but except for the purple moon, the expected shooting stars did not appear.

He suddenly remembered the roots of some customs in this world.

For example, making a wish on a shooting star is because people believe that the shooting star is the dust that falls from the world where the gods live. When meteors appear, the gods may be looking down on the earth, and maybe people's wishes will be fulfilled smoothly.

It's like blowing out the candles when making a birthday wish.

People believe that the plume of smoke when the candle is extinguished can carry the wish to the moon and be known by the moonlight mother-in-law.

But there are no meteors in the night at this moment, Chen Lun is puzzled by this.

Floy silently maintained a prayer posture.

He said in his heart:

"In the long darkness, in the past and the future, you are my only light."

I'm sorry everyone, I will be a little busy during this time, so the update is temporarily one more chapter per day, guaranteed to be more than 4,000, and it will be adjusted back soon, Ann.

Thank you book friend 120610124001502 for your reward~

And your monthly pass~Thank you very much~
