Chapter 462： The truth about the occupied territories

Chapter 462 The truth about the occupied area

With the end of the Western War, Chen Lun's life returned to a short period of peace. But he is also very clear that the next stage of the main plot is to deal with the pollution bugs in the dark world, and this day will not come too late.

So he waited silently for Prince Dazlet's call, while reading hard.

The experience points gained from the Western War were all used by him to upgrade his main profession [Acrobat]. Currently, he has reached LV49, only one level away from the full level. He wanted to make up for the lack of experience points as soon as possible by reading mysterious books.

And after this period of fermentation, his deeds on the battlefield have gradually spread, and almost every day, he can receive reminders that his popularity has increased.

This morning.

After breakfast, Chen Lun was reading the mysterious book in his room as usual. He had just read it for more than half an hour when he heard a ding in his ear.

【Because of what you did in the "Western War", stories of your deeds are constantly being circulated among the imperial military, royal family and high society...】

【Regional popularity increased by 1 point! Currently 150 points! (Also: 5 points of epic popularity)]

‘The requirement for epic popularity has finally been met...’

Chen Lun smiled, and gently closed the book.

‘The saint’s promotion task can be triggered only by the full level of the main profession. '

He immediately clicked on the panel and took a look. In the column of experience value, [39W/55W] was displayed, which means there was still a shortfall of 160,000 experience points.

'The story of the Western War is over, and the players seem to have nothing to do. Apart from spontaneously going to various places to find side quests, they are going to adventure in Wonderland... They died in Wonderland. I can gain experience, plus what I get from reading books. It should take less than a week. That's enough experience. '

Chen Lun thought to himself.

At this time, the door of the room was knocked, and Connie's voice came from outside:

"Mr. Jack, the carriage is ready, and Mr. Golov said that he is ready to leave at any time."

"Okay, I know."

Chen Lun responded.

Actually, not long after he returned to Wangcheng, he received an invitation from General Vance to be a guest. Today happened to be the day they agreed on. He originally planned to go there in the afternoon, but after hearing Connie's reminder, he planned to leave early.

Turning his head to look at the book on the table, he thought that it would not be too late to read it later.

Out of the door, Chen Lun saw Connie in tan overalls. She may have arrived in a hurry, and the oil-stained gloves were randomly stuffed in her breast pocket, and there were still some stains on her face.

"Go ahead, Connie."

Chen Lun chuckled, and pointed to her cheek, indicating that there was something dirty.

"Okay, Mr. Jack...ah sorry, sorry."

Connie wiped her face with the back of her hand, and said embarrassingly when she saw that it was stained black.

Chen Lun shook his head with a smile, then went down the stairs.

Out of the gate of the residential area, he boarded the carriage that had parked early on the side of the gate. Golov saluted him, and immediately yelled and waved his whip to drive the carriage away.

General Vance's residence is in the central area, not far from the Generous Church area. After driving for about 20 minutes, the carriage arrived at the destination.

Chen Lun got out of the carriage and couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the single-family apartment in front of him. He didn't expect that the general of the imperial army would live in such a simple house.

There are some flowers hanging on the gate in front of the courtyard, and the door plate reads "No. 42, Second Street, Central District, Vanscone's House".

Chen Lun asked Golov to wait outside, while he walked to the gate and rang the doorbell.

beep...beep...

At the same time, he also noticed that in the quiet surroundings, there was actually a small group of military superhumans hidden, guarding the house at all times in the dark...to be precise, to ensure the safety of General Vance and his family.

As early as when the carriage stopped at the door and he got out of the car, he had the feeling of being watched... Although the warning from his spiritual intuition was not strong, it could be seen that the people in the dark were not weak, at least at the middle-sequence level .

Soon, the door of the apartment was opened, and an ordinary white-haired old woman walked out. The other party walked slowly, and looked at Chen Lun carefully through the fence gate.

"You are Mr. Jack, right? Vance has been waiting for you for a while."

The old woman smiled kindly and opened the door.

"Good morning, Mrs. Corney."

Chen Lun knew that the old woman in front of him was the wife of General Vance, so he greeted him politely.

"Vance got up early in the morning, fiddled with his treasured wine, and said that a young friend would come to visit..."

The old woman led Chen Lun into the courtyard and whispered.

Chen Lun smiled, and simply echoed a few words.

The two walked into the apartment. General Vance, who was wiping the glass with a towel in the hall, saw this and slowly got up with a smile.

"Please sit down, Mr. Jack."

He raised his hand to signal.

"The house is a little rough, don't worry about it."

General Vance has now changed into casual clothes, a blue shirt and casual trousers. Although he is still tall and burly, he is obviously not as majestic as on the battlefield. People who don't know him may think that he is a Executives who retired from the business world.

"It is my honor to visit the general's residence."

Chen Lun took off his hat, said politely, and sat on the sofa.

General Vance opened the wine with a corkscrew with a sense of ritual, and poured a glass for Chen Lun.

"This is red wine from 4375, and it has a history of forty-five years... When I was young, I entrusted someone to make it, and now there are only a few bottles preserved. If it weren't for your visit today, I might die I can't even bear to drink."

The general raised his glass and jokingly explained the origin of the red wine.

"I am flattered by the general's attention."

Chen Lun also raised his wine glass and touched the other party lightly. Although he doesn't like drinking, he can distinguish the occasion. If he doesn't drink this glass of wine, he might be kicked out on the spot by the other party.

"Frankly, Jack, I really don't like the modest words you keep talking about..."

General Vance took a sip of his wine, pointed at him and shook his head.

"To be precise, I really hate those hypocritical people... Do you know how I was in the army, how did I talk about Representative Kramb and Representative Rabir to my people?"

The two members of parliament he mentioned are members of the six-state parliament, and they are equivalent to senior officials who help the royal family coordinate affairs in various parts of the country.

Chen Lun smiled, leaned on the sofa and asked cooperatively:

"How do you say that?"

"An old salted fish with makeup on, and a stinky leather shoe with oil on it."

General Vance cursed unceremoniously.

"The disgusting things they have done behind the scenes can be written in a tome, but they still pretend to be saints on the surface... If I didn't want to fight for the empire, I would have stuffed a musket into their **** In the house, let them clear their bowels."

Chen Lun couldn't help laughing with the other party.

After several glasses of wine, the atmosphere becomes more harmonious.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps upstairs, two girls aged fourteen or fifteen, talking and laughing, came down the stairs, but they suddenly stopped walking as if they saw something in the living room, clutching their little hands. mouth, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Immediately, the two turned around tacitly, and returned upstairs with blushing faces.

Still muttering exclamations such as "My God" and "The sun is above", Chen Lun's hearing is excellent, and finally the older girl said, "Pasha, how can there be such a good-looking man in the world?"

Chen Lun found it interesting, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Jack, I forgot to introduce you. Those are my two daughters. The older one is Gulilenz, who is sixteen years old and is studying at the Kloster Academy of Art. The younger one is Pasha, who is fourteen years old and is planning to Applying for the Royal Military Academy..."

General Vance explained with a pampering look on his face.

"daughter?"

Chen Lun was a little surprised.

Because General Vance looked fifty or sixty years old, he thought the two girls were his granddaughters.

"Yes, it can be regarded as the blessing of the sun god, allowing me to grow old and have a daughter..."

General Vance seemed to think of something and sighed.

“I used to have three sons, all of whom chose to join the army just like me...but unfortunately died in the”Overseas Landing Battle” twelve years ago.”

"Overseas landing battle... is it about the war on Misty Island?"

Chen Lun thought of Mrs. Caroline, her husband and son, who also died in this war. Even Viscount Pompeii had participated in it, but his subordinates were almost wiped out and sacrificed in that strange land. land.

"Yes, Misty Isle..."

General Vance spit out the word with difficulty.

"It was a terrible place. The empire at that time paid a heavy price for its eagerness for quick success. So far, the royal family has never thought of going overseas... Forget it, let's talk about something else."

He seemed a little resistant to this topic, and said after drinking his lipstick.

Chen Lun nodded silently.

But in his heart, he was curious about this past history and the "Mist Island" with only a few words... He planned to have a chance in the future to learn more about it.

He looked at the somewhat dull General Vance, and just brought the topic to the Western War.

"I heard that there was a massacre in the occupied area. Do you know about it?"

General Vance suddenly raised his head and glanced at Chen Lun.

He was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice:

"That wasn't a massacre, Jack."

"Is there something hidden in it?"

Chen Lun saw the clue from the general's reaction, so he asked slowly.

General Vance turned his head and glanced at his wife. The old lady was busy in the kitchen, so he solemnly said to Chen Lun:

"It's best not to spread this matter, it involves His Majesty the Prince."

Chen Lun frowned slightly, nodded in agreement, and watched the general wait for the next article.

"The prince ordered people to conduct a series of secret experiments in the occupied area, allowing the local civilians to take a drug 'Light Seed' that the workshop is researching. Let ordinary people go beyond knowledge and accumulation, and directly become a low-level transcendent in the solar system, and the failure rate will be extremely low."

General Vance drank the rest of the wine in the glass, and said with emotion:

"In fact, I can fully understand what the prince is doing. He is eager to make a career that will impress my king... If the royal family can easily control an army built by extraordinary people in the solar system, then every corner of the world will be at your fingertips."

'Army of the Extraordinary...The Light Seed Project? '

Chen Lun frowned more and more.

In his memory, there was no such plot in his previous life!

'Is it another variable caused by the butterfly effect? '

Chen Lun put down his wine glass and said meaningfully:

"General, do you think this move is good for the empire?"

"It's hard to tell."

General Vance shook his head.

"Once the Legion of the Extraordinary is really formed, it will definitely improve the military strength of the empire, but when the situation exceeds a certain threshold, it may be difficult to control... This is a great test for the royal family and even the entire empire. .”

He stretched out an index finger and said in a deep voice:

"Just imagine, if there is such a drug that can become an extraordinary person without extraordinary knowledge and accumulation, and the failure rate is negligible, then countless rich and powerful businessmen will risk being executed, and they will use all means steal it..."

"Yes, who can resist the temptation of strength, health and longevity?"

Chen Lun sighed.

The Path of God is the road to becoming a god. The superhumans who embark on this path have physique and strength beyond ordinary people. Even after transforming into a high-ranking person, they will have a longer lifespan. This is the biggest attraction for ordinary people .

At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, it took hundreds of thousands of years to suppress noble merchants, cutting off the extraordinary inheritance of countless families. Once this drug was born, it would cause terrible turmoil.

Chen Lun realized the seriousness of this matter.

He guessed that if the public knew about it, countless supporters and opponents would spring up like mushrooms after the rain, trying to brainstorm each other...and Prince Dazlet, who single-handedly facilitated this matter, would become the center of the storm.

Even though the Sun Royal Family has the supreme power and position in the Trisul Empire, it is difficult to guarantee that there are people who are not afraid of death and will take extreme measures.

"General, do you think there is a possibility that this is a method used by the prince to fight against the turmoil in the spiritual world... After all, in the end of the darkness, the spread of the polluting insects is getting worse. If there is such an army of extraordinary people, it may be able to contain it." Hold the situation."

Chen Lun suddenly thought of something and asked.

General Vance couldn't help being taken aback.

He immediately frowned and fell into deep thought.

A long while.

"It's not impossible..."

General Vance said in a deep voice.

"But I can't guess what the prince is thinking."

At this time, the general's wife had already prepared lunch and urged the two of them to eat at the table. Chen Lun and General Vance temporarily interrupted the discussion.

"Leave this topic aside for now, let's try Sera's handicraft first. I haven't gotten tired of the chowder she made for more than 30 years. I believe you will like it."

The general stood up and smiled.

Chen Lun also took advantage of the situation and expressed that he was looking forward to it.

Mrs. Kone shouted a few words upstairs, and the two young and beautiful girls went downstairs with a little shyness, and had dinner with their parents and this strange but handsome guest.
