Chapter 501: Symphony of Destiny

Just after the headless worm's soul was completely absorbed and digested by Floyd, a series of strange things happened in Royal City Tourmaline Kloster.

There are inexplicably blank spaces on street posters about the latest policies, flyers of government orders, headlines in major newspapers, and even diaries written by some residents themselves.

No one knows why, and no one knows what was originally written in that blank space. Most people think it's just a coincidence, or some kind of omission.

Although it caused a while of discussion, it was quickly forgotten.

In a bar in the lower city.

A raunchy red-nosed drinker suddenly talked about the big event that happened in Huowen Square in the central area of ​​Wangcheng two days ago.

It was normal at the beginning, but when it comes to the crowd and the uproar, it was quite vivid, and even the guests at the tables around him even teased him, a laborer in the lower city, how could he be qualified to pass the examination and enter the central area at the top of the royal city Participate in rally activities.

But when talking about the cause of this big event, the red-nosed alcoholic hesitated and hawed, as if a piece of it was broken all of a sudden, and couldn't tell the reason at all.

Suddenly, everyone laughed again.

"So what was that rally about? Vaden!"

Someone smoked a cigarette and asked loudly.

"Well... it seems that the royal family is going to execute someone."

"Who is still mobilizing people, hahaha, it can't be the thief who stole bread in the "Ma Yi Madam Bakery" on the night of the celebration day?"

"Of course not! But who... I can't remember at once."

"Hahaha…"

Everyone laughed.

Suddenly someone was stunned and puzzled.

"Celebration day? Is it the princess' birthday?"

"That's right, I was still singing with my neighbor Dorsey and his family with lanterns."

"But isn't the princess' birthday in December?"

"Hey... Sorry, I must have remembered it wrong. In short, March 9th is a big day, and the royal family even sent people to decorate it. Whatever it is!"

In addition to the lower city, similar things happened in the upper city, the central area, and every corner of every class in other areas... Some memories are quietly disappearing, no one remembers that there is a prince named Dazlet in the royal family, and no one Remember everything about him.

Even…

Game forum for players.

"—Eh? What the **** is my post! Why did my big post disappear?!"

"—What post? Is it a photo of Sethel from the Stars Sect? My good brother borrowed one to talk."

"—No, **** off, it's an analysis post about the war in the west, and the boss of "Ordinary Operator" replied with a long comment. I still remember that he said that this matter is related to the royal family, which crown prince's conspiracy..."

"—Which crown prince, the Sun Royal Family is just a **** princess, let's just blow it up and talk about it, right?"

Besides that, a considerable number of posts in the game forums have disappeared out of thin air, as if silently deleted by some hidden administrator.

Even the original "Mysterious Age 2.0 Version Launched CG: Dark Resurrection", which was originally on the top, is also gone.

This caused strong dissatisfaction among the players.

However, an official announcement from the game was issued urgently, stating that the administrators of the forum had never maliciously deleted posts, but an unknown error occurred in the background data, causing some posts to be damaged.

But the players are not stupid, because they have long discovered that those disappearing posts are related to the royal family. To be precise, they are related to someone in the royal family, but now it is impossible to talk about who it is.

A clever player pointed out that it is likely that some lucky guy discovered the BUG in the royal family, and then made a lot of benefits from it, so the official was alerted, the post was urgently deleted, and the BUG was fixed.

As for the so-called "the game is controlled by a supercomputer, it is absolutely fair and reasonable", players don't really believe it, and some people even secretly said that the official should pay them something, otherwise it can't be justified.

However, after the official announcement, there was no response.

What the players don't know is that in reality, the capital of the Azure Federation, Kakamala in the Night City, the scientists of the "Age of Mysteries" research and development center have exploded.

All the top researchers of the Federation were present, but none of them could explain the motivation and principle of the supercomputer's sudden tampering and deletion of data, and even all the players participating in the game disappeared out of thin air!

"Let's report this matter to the Federal Ether Division, as well as the priests of the Zhanlan Holy Cult. After the supercomputer received the information disk, the speed of autonomous evolution is too fast... We need more experimental data."

The man in the white coat headed by said in a deep voice.

The mechanical eye on his left stared at the huge monster in the center of the laboratory with a terrifying blue light—the supercomputer composed of countless circuit boards and modules, and the black lacquered computer at the socket on the console. information disk.

"The great cause of the holy religion cannot stop, it will be the key to lead us to salvation and the kingdom of God when the end comes..."

A few days later.

The time has passed a week as agreed with Ms. Frederick.

Chen Lun walked out of the gate of the Meteor Tower, turned around, took off his black hat politely, thanked Ms. Fred Cui and said goodbye.

"Thank you for your guidance and teaching in the past few days. I feel that I have benefited a lot."

"You're welcome, Jack."

Ms. Frederick smoked a cigarette and waved her hand.

"I'm quite amazed at your brain. I didn't expect to come up with such a wonderful idea through my magic seal and some basic magic principles... When these are combined with your own mythical power of destiny, you have created an incredible The strength of the power, which can be regarded as giving me some inspiration."

As he spoke, a melancholy expression appeared in the lady's eyes again.

Seeing this, Chen Lun felt vigilant for some reason.

As expected, Ms. Fred Cui exhaled a cloud of mist and spoke slowly:

"Although I have been used to it for so many years, it is still good to have someone to chat with... Jack, I heard that Mrs. Elk went to Wangcheng, so I plan to write a letter to communicate with him. By the way, I will ask for more Some research material..."

His turning point is quite abrupt, and there is something in his words.

Chen Lun realized instantly.

This boss is short of money again...

He took a deep breath, made some choices, and then took out an Imperial Bank certificate and handed it over, with the amount of fifty thousand gold pounds engraved on it impressively.

"Jack, what are you?"

Ms. Fred Cui looked puzzled.

"Some insignificant worldly possessions, I hope you can have a good chat with Mrs. Elk."

Chen Lun laughed.

Bleeding from his heart, his property is less than 100,000 yuan left.

Fortunately, the self-developed "Spiritual Vision Potion" is continuously being sold to players. With this cash cow, version 2.0 can still make a lot of money for a long time to come, so he feels a little relieved.

Ms. Fred Cui took the voucher, played with it a few times, and shook her head with emotion:

"I didn't expect to get funding from you again, ashamed..."

As she spoke, the lady put the cigarette in the corner of her mouth, freed her hand and patted the shoulder of the old mage Carmen beside her.

"Don't look at the age of my student, in fact, the number of travels is very small, so I was careless and trapped in the dark world for so many years... How about letting Carmen hang out with you for a few years?"

"Um?"

Chen Lun was slightly taken aback.

Carmen on the side was also stunned.

"teacher?"

"Jack is also a saint now, the same Sequence Four as you, and even much better than you in many aspects... You can learn a lot by following him, just like when I traveled with Mr. Jingyao back then."

Ms. Fred Cui said lightly.

Carmen looked aggrieved, hesitant to speak.

He has always listened to the teacher's words very much, so he didn't say no, but he always thought in his heart, might the teacher feel sorry for taking the fifty thousand gold pounds, so he sold him outright.

"There are no high-ranking people in my team. It is my honor if Master Carmen can come to help me."

Chen Lun laughed.

"Okay, that's it."

Ms. Frederick flicked the cigarette **** and flew to the bottom of the crater.

He pointed in that direction again.

"However, the pattern of the magic circle below has not been renovated and repaired. After a few days, after Carmen helps me fix it, I will let him find you."

"Then thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Lun held a silver cane and bowed slightly to Master and apprentice Freid Cui.

He and the lady looked at each other and smiled.

Only the white-haired old man looked gloomy and secretly sad.

Leaving Meteor Tower, Chen Lun returned to Wangcheng.

Fortunately, in the past few days when the avatar disappeared, nothing happened in the generous church area, so he took advantage of his leisure to stroll in the downtown area of ​​the central area.

After the incident with the prince came to an end, the royal family and the Church of the Seven Gods returned to calm, at least maintaining a superficial calm.

Chen Lun rode a silver cane, pulled down the brim of his hat, and walked on the side of the road like an ordinary gentleman, without attracting anyone's attention.

For some reason, he inexplicably felt a strange feeling from the atmosphere in the royal city... an indescribably strange feeling.

Walking past the bulletin boards and walls, he glanced casually, and saw the blank spaces where the text disappeared out of thin air, Chen Lun's heart trembled.

He knew very well that after the death of Prince Dazlet, the people gradually forgot about him...Chen Lun didn't plan to continue the investigation, at least not at this stage.

But this matter was firmly in his heart.

"Gentlemen and ladies! The author of "The Adventures of Philip" has released a new work! These days, the novel is popular among the upper class in the central area, and the masterpiece that countless aristocratic ladies are moved by, don't you want to read it?"

At this time, not far away, a newsboy was dragging a simple rolling box, which was full of hardcover books. He yelled, and raised the book he was holding.

"As long as you have two silver nobility, you can buy this masterpiece of the century!"

Chen Lun stopped abruptly, turned his head and stared at the book in the newsboy's hand.

On the cover, "The Prince of Tragedy" is impressively written!

"It's the guy who sells this book again. The bookstore downstairs and the 'Guluo Bookstore' on Falley Street are all covered with posters and banners for publicity. I really don't know what's so good about this book. It's full of fictional characters and grandiose plots."

Beside Chen Lun, two men passed by, chatting like a lively chatter.

Another man chimed in and complained:

"That's... what Prince Dazlet, our empire has never had any princes, only Princess Anna, the made-up tragic plot in it just makes me sick... But my wife and daughter like it very much, this I didn’t think about tea or food for two days, and the two of them just sat on the sofa and watched it all day long, and when they were fascinated, they didn’t even listen to me, alas..."

Chen Lun frowned more and more, strode forward, took out three silver medals and handed them to the newsboy.

"Give me a copy, more than a tip."

The newsboy looked at the three glittering silver coins and was extremely happy. He quickly took out a copy of "The Prince of Tragedy" and handed it to the black hat gentleman in front of him, thanking him constantly:

"Thank you, generous sir! This is your book, let me give you another book cover and two bookmarks!"

"No."

Chen Lun took the books, turned and left.

He couldn't restrain the confusion in his heart, quickly opened the book cover, and opened the book...

Soon, his eyes gradually became serious, even horrified.

The content in this novel is exactly the same as a series of events that happened in Wangcheng before! Around the assassination of Prince Dazlet, the struggle between the royal family and the Church of the Seven Gods, especially the fierce conflict between the three churches of Sun, Moon and Star!

Among them, including Chen Lun himself, all the main characters appeared...

Boom!

Chen Lun closed the book and narrowed his eyes.

The author's name "Howard" in the note at the end made him feel particularly glaring.

‘What the **** is this guy trying to do? ! '

Chen Lun took a deep breath.

Maximum level passive [multitasking with one mind] under the effect of the mythical creature characteristic "Enlightenment Skull", he was running at high speed, standing on the noisy street, but no one looked at him.

After a while.

Chen Lun thought of a possibility, a possibility that made him feel creepy...

‘The fundamental purpose of Howard’s behind-the-scenes promotion of this struggle may be to be promoted to an angel... and this time he openly wrote the script into a novel and put it on the market, which was read by countless residents, just to expand his influence, which is the so-called anchor casting! '

When he was promoted to a saint, there was a rigid requirement of 5 points of epic singing. Speaker Azgielo also told him that the anchor point is a necessary preparation for the promotion ceremony.

If Howard wants to be promoted to the second angel of the sequence, he must have greater influence, which can also explain the origin of this "The Prince of Tragedy".

'And Prince Dazlet was forgotten by the world at this ingenious time point, so that the shock of "The Tragic Prince" was greatly reduced... If not, maybe it would no longer be an entertainment book popular in the upper class, but It is an 'evil classic' that shocked the royal family and the Church of the Seven Gods, and it will inevitably cause a huge commotion. '

Chen Lun turned his head to look at the huge Sun Palace.

The surprise in my heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

‘Will the Sun King do this on purpose? Did He know all this, so he erased the existence of Prince Dazlet, so as to avoid making Howard the final winner... However, there are hundreds of forgotten crown princes, and it happened from the beginning of the establishment of the empire , did he foresee the future? This is unreasonable! '

The more Chen Lun thought about it, the more frightened he felt.

What made him even more nervous was...

Once Howard is promoted to the second angel of the sequence, then the hope of challenging his own destiny and controlling himself will become even more elusive... There is even no chance of winning.

thump thump thump—thump!

At this time, in a shop called "Drizzt Musical Instrument Store" not far from Chen Lun's left, a piano tune suddenly sounded.

It is weeping and complaining, with a little sadness.

However, Chen Lun's uneasy emotions were ignited at this moment.

'Is that..."Symphony of Destiny"? How could there be such a song in this world...'

His heart beat faster, and he couldn't help but clenched his cane tightly.

A strong sense of fate hit him, making his breathing stagnant.

Chen Lun calmed down, took a deep breath, and slowly walked into the musical instrument store. Immediately, at a glance, a blond man was sitting in front of a piano, playing gracefully.

His pupils shrank sharply!

"Howard..."

"This piece was created by my teacher. He named it "Symphony of Destiny". It has four chapters. I have always liked it."

The man played without looking back, and said with a chuckle.
