Chapter 238： the eve of the rainstorm

Chapter 238 Before the Rainstorm

The fairyland logger is just a concept, and it is not yet known whether it will be realized.

Chen Lun followed his patient expectation, and turned his attention to the mysterious man Oscar in front of him.

"Mr. Oscar, you mean that Howard died here...?"

He thought about what the other party said just now, and asked aloud.

The crying mask in his hand was absorbed by the bookmark and turned into a new power, which gave Chen Lun a guess.

For some reason, Howard was killed by the man in front of him, and a part of his strength was intercepted, which became the "nutrition" of the bookmark.

"To be precise, what died here is just an incarnation, but it is also the price he must pay."

Oscar said.

"It was his fate."

'It is Howard's fate to fall an incarnation here...? '

Chen Lun was slightly taken aback.

'Oscar knew that Howard would intervene in my fate, and even ended up personally...and when he captured "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland", he would enter the world of bookmarks and eventually become the nourishment of bookmarks? ! '

His eyelids drooped, and he suddenly had another guess.

"No... Perhaps it should be said that it was Oscar who understood all of this and waited in advance in the bookmark until Howard delivered it to his door... He must be a high-ranking person on the path of destiny, an existence closer to the end of the sequence than Howard."

Oscar put a black hat on his head, turned his head and smiled lightly:

"Is that what you think in your heart?"

"!"

Chen Lun's eyes widened, staring at the long black-haired man in front of him.

The other party actually spoke his heart out, word for word!

"You guessed it right, Jack, but there is no prize... Besides, Howard has already learned of my existence, and he will not intervene in your fate for a long time to come."

Oscar chuckled and looked directly into Chen Lun's eyes.

Clearly wearing a gray robe and retro clothes, but wearing a black top hat, which looks very out of harmony...

'Ok? That's my black hat...? '

Chen Lun was taken aback, touched his head, and then realized that his black hat fell into Oscar's hands at some point and was put on his head by the other party.

"Thank you for your shot, Mr. Oscar...Howard has always made me very passive."

He smiled wryly to himself, and vigilantly emptied his heart, and stopped thinking about it, lest the other party probe into his heart.

As for Oscar's strength and character, he is really unpredictable.

"You're welcome, I like the hat style very much, let's take it as a reward."

Oscar raised his hat, turned around, and disappeared out of thin air, just like when he appeared, Chen Lun didn't notice it at all.

The other party's voice still echoed throughout the space.

Chen Lun stood where he was, with a serious expression on his face.

‘Oscar’s identity is probably an angel of fate... But what happened during this time, either met a god, or met an angel... Is my luck so high? '

He let out a long breath.

'And Howard tricked me, and was tricked by Oscar, is this a matryoshka? '

In my heart, I have a deeper understanding of the high-ranking members of the fate faction.

It cannot be said that everyone is an old yin critic, it can only be said that everyone is a sixth child.

Chen Lun even speculated that the reason why the Destiny faction has so few extraordinary people is that they were probably killed by high-ranking people.

After returning to the present world.

Chen Lun found that the time was still at the moment when he left, with almost no change, as if the experience of several hours in the fairyland was just a moment in the outside world.

Mr. Pot was still howling, Drinker hugged his head and yelled on the ground, Akbin knelt down on the ground, just like Mr. Ping next to him, saying nothing.

Mr. Byers, who was some distance away, stood quietly in place like a statue.

Chen Lun knew that most of them were attacked by Howard, which was like some kind of emotional power, causing them to fall into extreme sadness.

"Come, drink some medicine."

Chen Lun took out a bottle of "Sedation Elixir", using a dead horse as a living horse doctor, gently knocked off the lid on Mr. Hu's head, and poured it in.

Mr. Hu shuddered and stopped crying.

Pharmaceuticals can increase the recovery speed of sanity, and it seems to have some effect, and the sadness in Mr. Hu's heart is gradually diminishing.

"Silver Pot! Are you okay?! That man just now..."

Mr. Hu choked up, as if he had just recovered.

When he saw Chen Lun appearing again, he asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, help wake up others first."

Chen Lun took out a few more bottles of tranquilizers and handed them to Mr. Hu.

Mr. Hu nodded in response, and took the tranquilizer to feed the rest of the people.

Chen Lun walked towards Mr. Byers.

"Mr. Byers, are you all right?"

he asked aloud.

The black knight raised his head slowly, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Who are you?"

Chen Lun was taken aback for a moment.

He knew that Mr. Byers might have lost his memory again.

Clang!

The black knight raised the black sword in his hand, and slashed at Chen Lun violently.

"Youlan!"

Chen Lun called out the name.

The simple and sharp black long sword stopped on Chen Lun's shoulder.

"Youlan...my love..."

Byers slowly retracted the long sword, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head and looked at Chen Lun.

"Jack, I'm sorry."

There was a hint of apology in the hoarse voice.

Chen Lun secretly heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head.

"It's okay, Mr. Byers, as long as you are awake."

He handed over a tranquilizer and continued:

"The potion can restore sanity, you can drink it..."

The black knight took the potion, popped the cork without saying a word, and poured it into the gap of the helmet with his head raised.

He let out a long breath.

"I feel better...Thank you, Jack."

At this time, the task prompt box popped up—

【A-level mission: Wolf and Orchid! completed! 】

【Task rewards: 40,000 experience points, 120 gold pounds, Byers' favorability and the skill "Byers Ultimate Sword - Orchid". 】

"The matter has come to an end, Mr. Byers."

Chen Lun said.

The black knight nodded.

"I won't say any more words of thanks, Jack, the man who appeared just now is very powerful, he is coming for you, you have to be careful... If you need it, you can use the orchid image to find me, I will do my best to help you .”

He held his black sword and was silent for a few seconds.

"Now I can only take a brief respite. The Church of the Sun and the Shelter will not give up the hunt, and the escape journey will continue in the future...

I will stay in Amber City for a while, and maybe I will visit you... I will meet Floy by the way, as farewell. "

Chen Lun stretched out his hand and said with a smile:

"You are always welcome, Mr. Byers."

The black knight was slightly taken aback, then chuckled, and shook hands with Chen Lun.

Let go of his hand, he turned and left, his figure slowly disappeared into the world.

Chen Lun watched the other party leave.

At this time, Bottle Jug and Akbin Delink came over, and they had already recovered their sobriety.

"Who the **** is that blond man... It's really scary!"

Drinke lit a cigarette, depressed.

"His name is Howard, the Holy One of Destiny...he came for me, sorry to bother you."

Chen Lun turned around and said.

Akbin shook his head.

"This sentence should be said by us. After all, this time I came to help you, but I didn't expect that in front of Him, I couldn't think of fighting at all... Is the Holy One of Destiny? It is really strong..."

"Anyway, thank you very much for your help."

Chen Lun stroked his chest and saluted them.

Mr. Hu slapped his arm vigorously a few times and waved his hand:

"We are friends, we should help you!"

Drinke pouted at this moment.

"The favor owed to you has been paid off. Next time you encounter such a troublesome thing, don't look for me!"

Chen Lun chuckled.

He took out two [C-level monsters] from the blood poem ring and handed them to Drink and Akbin.

"This is a trophy, and you two should have a share."

Akbin hummed and took one, while Drink raised his eyebrows and said:

"You know the rules, but it's still the same sentence, favor..."

"Mr. Drink, when I go back this time, I will brew a batch of high-quality extraordinary wine... When the time comes, I will definitely send two bottles to you by the messenger of the Murder Club."

The smile on Chen Lun's face remained unchanged, and he spoke sincerely.

Drink coughed twice and dropped the cigarette butt.

"Well, favors are still reciprocal... Thanks in advance, if there is anything, I will see if it comes."

Akbin glanced at him with disdain.

"Now that the matter is over, let's say goodbye."

Chen Lun took out a brand new black hat from the blood poem ring and put it on for himself.

He looked at the four companions fighting side by side and smiled slightly:

"I will contact you later."

"Goodbye, Jack."

Akbin nodded slightly, and Drink was waving his hands casually.

"We can hear your rattle anytime, Silver Kettle."

Mr. Ping stood aside quietly with a smile on his face, while Mr. Hu gave a thumbs up.

Chen Lun turned and left with his silver walking stick in his hand.

"You're back."

Floy stood at the door of the manor villa.

Beside her, there are Noah, Maggie, Golov and others.

"Things are settled...don't worry."

Chen Lun looked at them and said.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Jack, we are too weak to be of much help."

Noah's expression was a little frustrated.

After losing fat for a period of time, his body size has shrunk a little. He is not as round as before, but he is still very tall.

People who don’t know will probably be very surprised to see this “strong man” scratching his head and looking shy.

Chen Lun shook his head with a smile, and patted Noah's arm to show comfort.

The current team members have not yet grown up, and the future is when they will shine.

Regarding this point, Chen Lun has no doubts.

"Let's go in and chat."

Chen Lun said.

Other members agreed one after another, followed the leader into the villa, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"You are all very talented people, but it takes time to grow up. I believe you will be able to support the team in the future."

Chen Lun leaned on the sofa and spoke.

"But before that, let me protect you from the wind and rain."

He grinned, and the others were slightly moved.

Floy sat beside Chen Lun, gently put her hand on the back of his hand, silently expressing her support.

Chen Lun turned his head, glanced at Floyd, and smiled slightly.

Immediately afterwards he said to the others:

"We will not stay in Amber City for too long, and we will leave soon."

"leave here?"

Maggie looked a little surprised.

Chen Lun's expression was slightly serious. After stroking his hat, he leaned forward.

"The Red Apple Church is about to set off a war that will affect the entire empire. Among them, Archbishop Rafa has a grudge against us. At that time, he will definitely carry out terrible revenge against the circus...

In order not to affect some innocent people, we had to leave. "

Chen Lun didn’t mention Sun Church because he didn’t want to put too much pressure on the members.

Hearing his words, the others all showed expressions of horror.

"What does the Red Apple Church want to do?!"

Golov made a sound in astonishment.

"I don't know... Maybe it's a dispute of faith, or a simple territorial dispute, just like the history of the kingdom of Beelzebub in the Far West."

Chen Lun shook his head.

Others trusted the leader very much, so naturally they did not question this statement.

"The Rose Royal Family wants to overthrow the Trisur Empire? It's impossible...!"

Maggie said.

As a member of the Natural Sect, she is very aware of the strength of the Trisur Empire.

"It's meaningless to discuss these, we don't have the power to intervene for the time being... Even in this terrible turmoil, if you want to survive well, you need to do your best."

Chen Lun said in a deep voice.

"Telling you this is just to make you mentally prepared. We must make plans to leave at any time."

Everyone in the circus looked solemn, looked at each other, and nodded.

*

*

Chen Lun returned to the room.

He sat in a chair and meditated for half an hour.

The Church of the Red Apple, the Church of the Sun, and Howard, who is still alive... A lot of external pressure came invisibly, making him depressed.

"Hoo..."

Chen Lun let out a long breath.

Different from his previous life, he is no longer alone now, and his circus companions follow him, and Chen Lun is responsible for these people.

He hasn't figured out where to go after leaving Amber City.

But according to the plot prophet, he has a few alternatives.

It is possible to avoid some serious areas of "red disaster" and at the same time obtain some good opportunities, but Chen Lun has not yet made a decision and plans to wait and see.

Before leaving completely, he hopes to improve the strength of the team members.

Standing up, Chen Lun came to the table.

He took out an irregularly twisted quaint ring.

This is what Arnold stuffed him before sending him away from the "End of Darkness".

【Token-Unnamed Ring】

Item Description: Arnold, who lives at the end of the dark world, gave his friend Jack a ring.

It seems to be a piece of identification, but the erosion of the years has made it lose its original appearance and is difficult to recognize.

On the inner circle of the ring, there are still vague words—

"Hunting darkness forever."

Chen Lun doesn't know Arnold's identity for the time being, but his intuition tells him that this ring is very important.

Clenched the ring tightly, and then put it into the blood poem ring.

Chen Lun then counted the spoils of the executioner team.

There are eleven [C-level monsters] in total, the two best ones are from the two [Sequence 6] executioners, but they have already been given to Akbin and Drink.

The remaining ones don’t have any particularly outstanding monsters. He plans to allocate them and equip them for Floyd and Noah.

‘And the most important point is the player... If you leave Amber City, how can you continue to establish a stable relationship with Dongyang Polaris, a group of high-level players.

Although there are players in other regions as well, their consumption level is not high, and small profits but quick turnover is not my route. The consortium is the only way to make money...’

Chen Lun pondered.

He raised his palm, and the power of the [Jingzhe] bookmark moved it, and soon phantom emerald green vines grew out, intertwined and intertwined, and produced a seed the size of a grain of rice.

It is like emerald, crystal clear.

‘Howard’s incarnation was killed by Oscar, and his power gave the bookmark a new ability... This seed may be hope. '

Chen Lun looked at the seeds.

Its birth consumed 100 sanity points stored in Maggie's statue.

The next day.

Polaris came to Jack Manor.

He arrived here as soon as he received the message from Goldfinch.

"Polaris, you try this."

Chen Lun handed the "Awakening Insect Seed" to Polaris, who was surprised.

"Teacher, is this...?"

Chen Lun smiled, but did not answer.

Polaris picked up the seeds half puzzled and half expectant. After seeing the prompt on the panel, the expression on his face was suddenly shocked.

In his line of sight, a prompt box popped up again:

【The "Seed of Wonderland" is detected, do you want to enter the copy "Wonderland"? 】
