Chapter 470： Noah is back

Chapter 470 Noah returns to the team

Kingcheng Tourmaline Kloster.

Generous Church District.

Chen Lun's body is walking out of the arch alone, standing beside the marble pillar, turning his head to look at the distance of the road. A carriage was slowly approaching from the end and stopped right in front of him.

The coachman seemed to be commuting between the central area and the upper and lower urban areas all year round. He was very familiar with the black hat man in front of him. He quickly took off his bowler hat to greet him, and called Father Jack respectfully.

"May the God of Contract bless you."

Chen Lun nodded to him in response.

He immediately turned his gaze to the carriage door, and saw a fair-skinned boy wearing round-rimmed glasses coming down from above carrying a huge painting bag.

It was Noah who hadn't seen him for several months.

"Ah, Mr. Jack, are you waiting for me here specially?"

The boy was a little surprised, and then shyly scratched his short silver-white hair. Although he still had that introverted look, he was clearly exuding joy.

Chen Lun handed over a dozen silver coins to the coachman, and ignored the other party's repeated thanks. He took Noah's shoulders and led him into the church area.

"Well, the 'Pale Mark' has sensed that you are back."

Chen Lun said with a light smile, and touched the boy's head affectionately.

The coachman, who was about to leave, was quite surprised when he saw this scene. When the boy got into the car, he felt that his words and deeds were aristocratic, but he didn't expect that this little guest turned out to be Father Jack's "brother".

Perhaps in the eyes of uninformed bystanders, the relationship between these two people is more like brothers... But these Chen Lun didn't care, he said to Noah slowly:

"It's exhausting to travel outside, go in and eat something first, take a rest, we can talk about the experience during this time slowly."

"Okay, Mr. Jack."

Noah nodded.

"During this time, I was wandering outside with Teacher Lutina, and I missed everyone every day, as well as the food cooked by Miss Froy... Hehe."

He said, and smiled very embarrassedly.

Chen Lun smiled, and told him that his wish would be fulfilled later, because Floyd was cooking dinner carefully when he learned of his return, and even fried two steaks for him.

"This is really good!"

Noah looked very happy.

The two came to the lobby on the first floor of the residential area, talking and laughing, and found that it was empty. He immediately asked doubtfully:

"Mr. Jack, where are the others?"

"A few days ago, the prince issued an important imperial order, requiring the major forces to summon undead strangers to hunt in the spirit world to prevent the spread of the pollution... Almost everyone else went to help."

Chen Lun poured a glass of water and explained.

"So that's the case. I've also heard some news during this period of time. It seems that the matter is indeed serious... Sorry, Mr. Jack, I couldn't help, but now I'm back, and starting tomorrow I will let you Let me join!"

Noah put down the painting bag and said to him.

"Of course, if you want."

Chen Lun nodded in agreement.

As he spoke, he pointed upstairs again.

"Before you came, the church area underwent a major renovation. In addition to your separate room, I also asked the craftsmen to design and build a large studio for you. The sound insulation and lighting are very good."

"Wow! That's great news! Thank you, Mr. Jack!"

Noah's eyes widened, and he quickly thanked him.

Chen Lun waved his hand, signaling him to sit down and chat about what happened during this period. Noah sat down on the sofa obediently, ate the snacks that Miss Floy had prepared, and told the group leader about the journey.

It turned out that after he left with Lutina, he first traveled around the royal city, and visited almost every town and village. During this process, Lutina asked him to try his best to describe every scenery he saw.

According to Noah's basic skills, this is actually not a problem, but this painting teacher is very "picky" and can always find faults in Noah's paintings and ask him to correct them.

The most frequently spoken sentence is—

“This work has no soul.”

If you can't draw a painting that satisfies Him, then the journey will stay where it is. At first, Noah seemed very at a loss, because even though Rutina pointed out the problem, he couldn't understand it well.

"The teacher told me a lot at that time. He told me that artists in this world are generally divided into two types. The first type is motivated by the injustice of society, the country, and even the world. They want to shock the world with their own works. This kind can be called an 'external artist'. The second type is influenced by his own experience and has too much expressive impulse, so the paintings are mostly to convey self-emotion and focus on skills, which he calls 'inner artist' type artist'…”

Noah took a sip of black tea and talked.

Chen Lun asked with great interest:

"Miss Lutina has said, what kind do you belong to?"

"No."

Noah shook his head.

"Because the teacher doesn't seem to like these two kinds of artists very much... He said that the external artist profited from the pain of others, while the internal artist only cared about the expression of individuality, and both fell into the maze of selfishness... Only There is a third type of 'spectator artist' who can paint the greatest masterpiece, record everything that happens from an absolutely objective perspective, and He wants me to be such a person."

Chen Lun has no attainments in art and philosophy, he just nodded to show that he was listening carefully.

"During this journey, the teacher taught me a lot, not only at the level of painting... The things I experienced along the way seemed ordinary, but they also hid the truth of the world. This almost changed most of my ideas and profoundly affected my life. Paintings, and even an understanding of extraordinary power."

Noah's mouth was filled with joy.

"Mr. Jack, although I haven't paid attention to my mysterious accumulation in the past few months, I have unknowingly reached the limit of Sequence Six, and now I am preparing to start the promotion ceremony of [Boneman]."

Chen Lun raised his brows, and started spying on the young man. Sure enough, Noah has already reached the sixth full level of the sequence.

"Very nice, Noah."

He nodded with satisfaction and appreciation, and said with emotion:

"Miss Lutina is worthy of being the Three Sages of the Sequence. Even if she is a high-ranking person in the natural field, she can be of great help to your trek on the path of flesh and blood."

"Yes, I always feel that the teacher is full of knowledge and knows a lot...just like Mr. Jack."

Noah nodded in agreement.

When Chen Lun heard his last words, he thought it was flattery. He secretly thought that this kid Noah hadn't seen him for a few months, and he had already learned how to flatter him...but unexpectedly when he looked up, the boy's face was full of seriousness and sincerity.

He suddenly thought, so I have such a high status in Noah's heart?

For some reason, Chen Lun found it both funny and touched.

"Has Miss Lutina returned to the Great Forest of Coleridge?"

Chen Lun refilled the tea for the two and asked casually.

"No, after the tour, the teacher said that he would stay in Wangcheng for a while... It seems that he is going to visit old friends at the Moon Church, and the prince's birthday next month, and He will also be invited to attend."

Noah replied.

"A friend of Moon Church?"

Chen Lun frowned.

In his impression, Lutina, as a saint of the natural sect, should not deal with the Church of the Seven Gods very much. He did not expect to have friends in the Church of the Moon.

"Well, it is the current head of the Moon Church branch in Wangcheng, Sister Olmedo... I heard the teacher casually mention that he knew two friends of the Moon Church many years ago, one of them was His Majesty Olmedo , the other doesn’t know.”

Noah said honestly.

Chen Lun nodded.

The "Sister Olmedo" in Noah's mouth, he knew that he had seen it at the imperial meeting held by the prince. The other party looked like a serious old man, giving people a cold feeling.

"Okay, let's talk about this first, it's time for dinner."

Chen Lun saw Floy coming with a plate, so he smiled and said to Noah.

"Well, I happened to have nothing to eat on the way back, so I'm a little hungry."

Noah nodded expectantly.

Chen Lun got up and walked over, took the plate from Floyd's hand, the two smiled at each other, and immediately took Noah to the restaurant area.

"I'll call Connie Maggie and the others..."

Floy whispered.

"Need not."

Chen Lun took her hand, and then passed the "Pale Seal" to Maggie in the research room upstairs, Connie in the workshop behind the square, and Alex who went somewhere to be lazy.

Shortly afterwards, the restaurant sounded the ladies' cries of surprise and welcome words for Noah's return to the team.

The time has come to the beginning of September.

On the lawn of the generous church area, the cow Antonio is playing with the little white cat Bibb and the hedgehog Dingding. Several members of the Black Cat Warriors sat on the stone decoration beside them. They wanted to join but didn’t dare. While pretending to wipe their machetes, they looked furiously not far away. cap men.

"Go and play, I will give you a holiday today, it is enough for them to patrol the church area 24 hours a day."

Chen Lun sat on a chair, smiled and pointed to the black crystal craftsman passing behind.

Hearing what the group leader said, the black cats looked at each other, then slowly put down the machete in their hands, then tentatively climbed down from the stone sculpture, and finally walked towards Anton and the others hesitantly.

When Chen Lun saw this, he couldn't help but smile. These black cats brought out from the dream world actually still retain a very primitive purity in their hearts. It's just the heavy experience and burden in the past that made them become warriors since they were young.

Now that they have followed themselves, they should be allowed to enjoy a normal life.

Chen Lun glanced at the black cats who were slowly blending into the "circle", smiled knowingly, and immediately opened the panel to check.

For more than half a month, the players under his command have been fighting against polluting creatures in the spirit world. Although the frequency of killing rewards is not as frequent as during the Western War, the victory is lasting and continuous.

And the rewards for killing polluted creatures are obviously much higher than before, with an average of 100 to 200 experience points each time.

So far, Chen Lun has accumulated more than 4 million experience points even if he didn't do anything. He plans to upgrade the sub-profession [Engraver] to the full level in a while.

At this moment, another prompt box pops up—

【The circus player "Mr. Yan" killed the son of the ancient **** "Didak" (pollution channel), and you got 10,000 experience points! 】

"Um?"

Chen Lun frowned.

‘A player actually killed the Didak bug? '

He thought about it, after half a month of leveling, the average level of the players may have risen by a notch, and after adapting to the environment, as long as enough players are gathered and prepared with potion bombs and harmful monsters, after A siege with command and cooperation is not impossible.

After all, the Didak worms as the "pollution source channel" have no combat effectiveness, but are very resistant to beatings. With the player's **** nature, the more they suffer, the more vigorous they are. It is only a matter of time before this level of "elite monsters" is overthrown.

‘The player’s growth rate is astonishing...’

Chen Lun shook his head, sighing secretly in his heart.

A few days ago, he discovered through the game forum that several players who had been promoted to the mid-sequence had appeared one after another, and the situation where Polaris took the lead had changed.

It may not be long before there will be more and more mid-sequence players, and even become the norm in the first echelon.

'Golov, Patton, and Morey are indeed just ordinary people with ordinary talents. They happened to step into the mysterious field and struggled at the bottom for many years. Even after joining the circus and getting all kinds of help from me, they are still in this version. Being chased by players...'

Chen Lun was a little emotional.

"Of course, people like Floyd, Noah, and Antonio, who existed at the BOSS level in the original world line, have an extremely terrifying growth rate and have a specific template. It's hard to hold back... What's more, their fate has been changed by me, and the upper limit of the future will only be higher, and they will no longer be trapped in the same place by the established trend. '

After he finished his thoughts, he took a sip of the iced milk in his hand.

At this time, he noticed that there were actually more than one prompt box just now, but he didn't notice it at the first time.

【You have killed a total of 100 "Didak", the son of the ancient god, and the curse "blasphemy" suffered is even stronger! 】

【The Blasphemer LV2 (Curse)】

Description of the curse: Your hands are stained with rich, fresh blood of the descendants of the gods, and will be engraved with this mark as a "living sacrifice" for revenge, attracting the ancient **** "Father of Darkness" Dist Attention Dak's believers, relatives and other sons of God!

Curse effect: All attributes -2 (the cursed skin is in effect, this effect is immune)

Chen Lun was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that the sons of the ancient gods killed by the players under his command could also be counted on his own head, and this curse was marked when he and Mr. Pinghu teamed up to remove the first Didak bug. In [Cursed Skin], it can be immune to it, and its own attributes can be increased in reverse, so keep it.

After such a long time, he has somewhat ignored the curse. If it wasn't for the reminder that the curse level has increased, he might have forgotten about it.

‘During this time, the Deceitful Avatar has been searching for the traces of Carmen at the end of the darkness. He must have killed some Didak insects on the way, and the one killed by the player just met the conditions for raising the curse...’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

'Forget it, anyway, for me, this curse is harmless, but it can also improve some attributes, which can be regarded as turning waste into treasure. '

He smiled and didn't care anymore.

Another few days passed.

On September 9, 4420 in the solar calendar, Sun Prince Dazlet’s 23rd birthday came. The central area of ​​Wangcheng was lit up with lights and festoons.

at dusk.

Chen Lun was wearing a black suit, a top hat, and Floyd, who was wearing an expensive black and purple evening dress, and boarded the exquisite carriage sent by the palace.

He was smiling, his expression was the same as usual, but his heart was full of dignity.

Because he knew that Princess Anna and the Sun Cross would attack Prince Dazlet at the upcoming palace dinner.

"There may be unexpected situations at the dinner later. If the situation is difficult to control, I will send you back to the church area."

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Lun used [Mind Transmission] to inoculate Floyd. The latter was taken aback for a moment, then didn't ask any further questions, just nodded obediently.

In the end, the beautiful eyes of lavender stared at her, and said softly:

"You should also give priority to ensuring your own safety. If you are in danger, I will not leave... Even if you bring me back, I will go to you."
