Chapter 290 Hunting Red Apples

   After returning to the winery.

   Just in time for dinner.

   It's just that Chen Lun is sitting at the head of the table, feeling a little bit on pins and needles.

   "Cough, Floyd, this...isn't it right?"

  He looked at a table full of plates and basins, filled with either fried fish or fried fish sticks, except for fish soup or Stargazing Pie, dripping with cold sweat.

   "Leader, what's wrong?"

   Maggie gnawed on fried fish sticks, making cracking noises.

   "It's delicious... It's good to change the taste once in a while, and Ms. Floy's craftsmanship is awesome, everything is delicious!"

  The four men, Noah, Golov, Barton, and Morey, stopped eating, with puzzled faces on their faces.

   Only Connie seemed to know anything.

  After she drank a spoonful of fish soup, she held the spoon, blinked her eyes, and shifted her eyes repeatedly between Mr. Jack and Miss Froy, hesitated to speak.

   "The head of the circus and the noble lady went away and lived happily ever after...Is that how it was played in "The Dumb Clown"?"

  Floye smiled and muttered slowly.

  Chen Lun's expression froze.

   "Aha, I'm full...Mr. Captain, Miss Floy, I'll go out for a stroll first. It seems that there is still a swing in the garden. I'll knock one out."

  Golov stood up immediately, as if the chair was on fire.

   After finishing speaking, he quickly left the restaurant.

   Still smiling dryly, he said, "If there is a swing in the garden, it should be very comfortable to swing on."

  Barton and Morey also understood something when they saw this.

   They both got up.

   "Well, we're full too, Captain...Bibu and Dingding seemed to be fighting just now, I'll go over and have a look, lest we both get hurt."

   "Ding Ding" is the name of the little hedgehog [Prudent Gardener], which Chen Lun gave it.

   "Mr. Button and I hold one of them. They will be absolutely fine. Don't worry, Captain."

   As Morey said, the two rushed to leave, as if a second later would be life-threatening.

  Noah and Maggie were still engrossed in eating, watching the three leave the table in doubt.

   "It's so strange, how can you be full before eating two bites?"

   Noah muttered.

  At this moment, Connie immediately ran to the two of them and pushed them out of the restaurant.

   "Hey, Connie, what are you doing?!"

   "Don't push me, I haven't finished eating yet!"

  The voice gradually faded away, but Chen Lun let out a sigh of relief.

   "Froy, cough, it's not what you think... I went out with Miss Tracy today mainly to find information about the local aristocratic circle."

"I know…"

   Floy said in an ethereal voice.

  The air fell into silence.

  Looking at Floyd sitting in a chair in a daze, Chen Lun always felt that there were live fish crawling all over his body.

"Although I didn't get any substantial gains today, I also found some clues... Of course, the most important thing is that when I was visiting the 'Cruise Ship Museum', I saw a very interesting little object, and I bought it. "

  Chen Lun chuckled and took out a bronze pendant with a crescent moon.

   “I think it would look great around your neck.”

  Floy came back to her senses, she gently turned her head to "look" at the pendant in Chen Lun's hand, pursed her lips and said:

   "For me?"

"certainly."

  Chen Lun stood up and walked behind Floyd.

   "Let me put it on for you."

  Floy didn't make a sound, but she didn't refuse either.

  Chen Lun bent down, gently stroked Floy's long pale golden hair like a waterfall, then wrapped the meniscus pendant around her fair and slender neck, and finally buckled it on.

   "Does it look good?"

   Floy turned around and asked.

   "Well, it looks good."

  Chen Lun praised.

  Floy finally showed a smile on her face.

  Like the bright moon in the night sky, it broke through the clouds and burst into light.

  She stroked the bronze meniscus on her chest, then stood up silently, and came back from the kitchen with a plate of fried rice.

   "Eat it, it's still hot."

  Chen Lun smiled knowingly as he looked at the exquisite fried rice that was still emitting heat.

  Floy had already made his dinner and just hid it on purpose.

   ‘What a cute girl…’

  Late at night.

  Chen Lun sat on a chair in the study room, and under the light of the retro incandescent lamp on the wall, he took out the "entrustment menu", opened it and carefully selected it.

'Now there is no clue about the second and third opportunities, and Miss Tracy seems to know something about the clues from the nobles, and she promised to help find it...I can use this time to do commissions to earn some experience points, After all, the upper limit of [Trapeman] is level 40, and I'm only level 20 now. '

   Chen Lun thought to himself.

  Although his current total level has reached level 100, and the four basic attributes on the panel have all reached the threshold of a Sequence 6 Transcendent, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the main profession.

  At this stage, the improvement of strength should be the first priority.

  Chen Lun's eyes quickly flicked across the menu, performing rounds of screening.

  'With the sequence ability of [Trapeman], there is no need to worry about the distance issue, but most of the entrustments are personal grievances, or conflicts between family forces...'

  He is not very interested in such a commission.

   It's not that Chen Lun is ashamed of being a killer, it's just that the benefits of this kind of entrustment cannot be maximized.

'found it…'

  Chen Lun frowned, and his eyes locked on the commission on a certain page of the menu—

   "Entrusted target: Red Apple Church in Fangyan City, Bishop Sommerfick."

   "Entrustment number: YQ2414222. Entrustment requirements: Killer level is not limited."

   "Remuneration for entrustment: a piece of extraordinary wine. Sommelier's comment: red wine, high-quality goods, sweet aftertaste, strong fruity aroma, temporary increase in jumping ability and physical dexterity, and the recovery price is 240 gold pounds."

  Chen Lun grinned, took out a pen and paper, copied the number of this entrustment on the note, left a signature, and put it into the black box.

  As the note slowly sank into the shadows, after a while, the information on the entrustment on the menu became distorted and blurred, and the information on the entire page was unrecognizable.

  Chen Lun knew that the club had locked it, and other members could no longer accept this commission.

  ‘With the spread of the Red Plague and the turmoil in the empire, countless people have forged a death feud with the Red Apple Church... What I need is exactly such a commission. In the long run, it can not only weaken their strength, but also continue to accumulate the contribution of the main task.

  The short-term income is also very considerable. The entrustment reward, plus the task reward, is a rich growth accumulation... and there is also a real-time reward for killing the target, which is an additional gain. '

  Chen Lun had deep eyes, thinking with a slight smile.

  He touched the Balague necklace around his neck, and slowly stood up. Walking to the window with a silver cane, looking up at the purple crescent moon in the night sky, he murmured:

  "Spades Knight Qiao Ke, is about to hunt red apples..."

  *

  *

  *

  Fangbang City is located in Yanbang Bronze City, two cities away from Peacock City, slightly inland.

  Similar to the situation in Gem State Fossil City, the empire also sent a heavyweight to sit in Bronze City to curb the spread of the red plague.

  However, because of the limited number of shelters and high-level members of the Church of the Sun, one of the Vice-Presidents of the History and Ritual Association of the Orthodox Church took on the main task.

  However, as a high-sequence saint, this vice president is far inferior to the sun path saint in terms of suppressing a vast territory. There are not a large number of incarnations, and there are no miracle creations like the Obelisk of the Day as an increase. As a result, many cities in the Yanbang Bronze City area are still suffering from the ravages of the Red Apple Church and are still waiting for rescue.

  Fangben City is a city in the red disaster area.

  Withered and dilapidated, the streets are deserted.

  The local Orthodox Churches were the Moon Church and the Red Apple Church, but since the Red Disaster came, the Red Apple Church area has become a restricted area in Fangben City.

  Countless man-eating monsters wandered around the Red Apple Church area, and many survivors saw with their own eyes that a red-robed monk led a team of guards to arrest living people in the city and brought them into the church area.

  The Church of the Moon and the Shelter each centered on their strongholds and established a "safety zone" to resist the red disaster. Most of the survivors in Fangyan City gathered and lived in this area and accepted asylum.

   Outside the safe zone, there are fallen believers everywhere, full of chaos and killing, like hell.

   If you look down, it looks like there is a **** mouth, and it is slowly swallowing two eggs.

  Red Apple Church District at this time.

  Hundreds of residents are being imprisoned in underground prisons, and those that cannot fit are piled up in large iron cages in the surface courtyard, like livestock waiting to be slaughtered.

   Bishop Sommerfik inspected blankly, looking at these ragged and shocked residents, with a cruel smile on his face.

   "The number of these living sacrifices is sufficient, and they are put into the 'atonement ceremony' in batches, so that the efficiency of refining sin blood will be greatly improved."

   "Follow your will, Bishop Sommerfik!"

   The two red-robed monks following behind him replied respectfully.

   "Praise the Rose."

  The group solemnly made prayer gestures.

  The iron cage was extremely crowded, stuffy and hot mixed with stench. Most of the detained residents were terrified, and a few stared directly at the priests of the Red Apple Church with angry eyes.

   But they didn't dare to make a loud noise, because those who did so had already had their throats cut and bled out on the spot, and they were dragged to a place where they could not be seen.

   Bishop Sommerfik turned around and came to the other side of the courtyard.

  On the marble floor here, a huge magic circle ceremony is depicted with blood, and a statue of an old man is placed in the middle.

  This statue is four to five meters high, wearing a luxurious robe and a pointed crown, holding the "Rose Bible" in one hand and a triangular candlestick in the other.

  He is the former Pope of the Red Apple Church, Dolomi Poornis.

  The statue was covered in blood, and surrounded by naked corpses of men, women and children. And on the candlestick of the statue, a young girl is being impaled. She is still struggling and screaming on it.

  Blood slowly flowed along the candlestick and statue, and merged into the groove under the statue.

  A transparent holy grail is placed under the groove to receive the condensed sin blood.

"help me…"

  The girl whispered dying.

   Bishop Sommerfick and several red-robed monks were silent, surrounding the edge of the ceremony, watching all this silently.

at this time.

  The head of Sommerfick suddenly changed his face slightly, and turned his head suddenly.

   A figure appeared behind him at unknown time, walking slowly.

  Patter, clatter...

  This person is dragging a huge wide-edged sword, wearing an old rusty armor, with twisted snake ornaments all over his body, and the scarlet cloak behind him is raised high, hunting.

   "Intruder!"

   "All alert!"

  The red-robed monks shouted one after another, and the guards of the church rushed from all directions.

  Somerfik stared at the figure, and suddenly his whole body trembled.

   "Knight of Spades...Joke! What are you doing here?!"

   "What a delicious prey... Today, none of you will try to run away, **** ho ho..."

  The knight walked slowly, and a terrifying laugh came from under the dark cross aperture.

   "Retreat!"

   Sommerfick shouted violently.

   Clang!

  A gorgeous silver slash suddenly appeared beside Sommerfik.

  The four red-robed monks were decapitated before they could react.

  Their heads were raised high, and the shocked expressions on their faces froze.

  The headless body gushed out a fountain of blood and fell down.
