Chapter 574 Apology (Ask for a monthly pass!)

"Apologize?"

  Chen Lun raised his head and asked softly.

   "Yes, Mr. Jack... It seems that some of our consuls had a little misunderstanding with you before, and there was some unpleasantness in the secret meeting."

  Landa said cautiously.

  He looked at the expression of the gentleman in black hat calmly.

   "Now, on behalf of Malek and Meade, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you, and I hope you can forgive us for the mistakes we made before."

Snapped.

  Chen Lun gently closed the poetry collection in his hand, and said with a half-smile:

   "You and I are both consuls of the parliament, and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, and there seems to be no provision in the Generous Yuan Code that consuls cannot have differences of opinion and disputes in secret meetings... So, what is your fault?"

  Landa's face froze.

   Having said that, but…

  The strength and status of the gentleman in front of me may no longer be comparable to those of the Senate consuls.

  Early this morning, Princess Anna took a carriage in person and arrived at the Generous Church in Wangcheng under the covert protection of Yuguang Shengwei to visit Lanta.

  At the beginning, Landa was a little elated, thinking that he was valued by the Sun Royal Family.

  But after a conversation, he almost made the consul lose his composure on the spot...

  Princess Anna first expressed her approval of the generous parliament to Landa, then asked him to deliver a personal letter to Jack Speight, and finally, the princess expressed her congratulations in a very cryptic manner.

  Landa was in a daze at the time, not knowing what the princess meant...so he tried to ask.

  Princess Anna was surprised. After a few seconds of silence, she just said:

   "Send me a message to my friend, Mr. Jack, to congratulate him on becoming a demigod..."

   Until the princess left, Landa was almost still in place.

   Only those two words echoed in His ears.

Demi god…

  Landa panicked all of a sudden.

   It even ignores the relationship between the princess and Jack who are still friends in private.

  Landa is very clear that he once conspired with Houston, Malek, and Meade to take Jack's position as the person in charge of the royal city. Although this matter has already passed with Houston's death, and his side can be regarded as fulfilled, but this beam was forged early.

  Jack is not only highly valued by the speaker and the King of Slaughter, but now he has been promoted to a demigod... If he goes back and settles this matter, what will happen to them, the three consuls?

   What made Landa collapse the most was that it didn’t take long for the latest secret information from the Faceless Servant——

  His Majesty the King of Slaughter has mastered five unique divinities. After digesting the authority, he can prepare for the ceremony of becoming a god.

  In addition, Speaker Azgielo also announced Conrad's killing oracle—Jack Speight will no longer serve as the consul of the Senate in the future, but will directly be promoted to the deputy speaker of the Generous Parliament!

  Landa almost lost control on the spot...

After secret exchanges with Malek and Meade, the three of them unanimously decided to apologize to Jack Speight and ask for his forgiveness as soon as possible... If they are liquidated, they will have nowhere to escape under the divination of the demigod of fate , must die without a doubt!

   Even if they are killed, Jack's status in the Council of Generosity will not be shaken... This is the most desperate thing.

   "Master Jack, I was dazzled by desire before, and tried to seize your identity as the person in charge of the royal city. I really deserve death!"

  Landa's expression changed several times, and finally she said through gritted teeth.

  He bowed his head deeply, holding a letter, a piece of irregular gravel, and a palm-sized octopus stone sculpture in both hands and presented them.

"This is a personal letter that Princess Anna entrusted me to forward to you. In addition, I heard that you are very passionate about knowledge. We have collected these two mythological collections with great effort, as an apology to you... I hope you can let us go way of life."

  Chen Lun did not speak.

  He just watched Randa silently.

  The atmosphere froze instantly.

  This mature woman, who seemed to be only in her thirties, maintained a stiff smile on her pretty face, and cold sweat unconsciously oozes from her forehead.

  He didn't dare to speak rashly anymore, but kept his hands raised high, motionless.

  In his peripheral vision, the gentleman in the black hat seemed to raise his hand and slowly leaned over, but the next second, he felt his face being pinched by a big hand and forcibly lifted up.

  Landa's breathing was stagnant, and the strong fear and anxiety even made him, a saint who had lived for hundreds of years, tremble uncontrollably.

   "Master Jack, please don't..."

  Landa saw those calm and deep eyes, and said pleadingly.

  However, He only heard the man chuckle.

   "Consul Landa, why are you sweating so much? Is this avatar sick?"

  Landa was startled for a moment, and then felt the hand leave her face.

  After the gentleman in black hat withdrew his hand, he took the thing in his hand, and cared with a half-smile:

   "There is a problem with the avatar, which may be related to the body. Would you like me to go to Wangcheng to help you? Regarding the study of avatars, I claim to have some experience..."

   "No, don't bother you, I just feel a little hot."

  Landa said quickly.

  His heart is beating fast at this moment, for fear that the other party will really go to Wangcheng to find his own body.

"Ah…"

  Looking at Landa's frightened look, Chen Lun just thought it was funny.

  Actually, he did think about crushing this woman to death just now, but soon, he gave up this idea... To be honest, he just found it boring.

  Now, for him, the three of Landa are not even qualified to be called enemies.

  Chen Lun saw that the King of Slaughter was about to become a god, so he decided to let them go for the time being. If he made small moves in the future, he would directly send the three guys on the road with a [Destined Death].

   "Since that's the case, forget it..."

   Chen Lun smiled lightly.

   "It's really hard for you to send your avatar to go there in person, Landa Consul, I have received the letter and apology, thank you."

   "You don't have to be polite, this is what I should do."

  Landa straightened her hair and said hastily.

   "If there is nothing else, then I won't bother you, Master Jack..."

  Chen Lun waved his hand.

  Landa bowed her head as if relieved, and left immediately.

  After He left, Chen Lun sat on the sofa and played with the irregular stone and the octopus statue.

  【Mythical Object-Meteor Wreck】

  Item Description: A piece of alien object that contains the knowledge of the stars. From time to time, it emits a strange brilliance. It is a brilliance beyond human perception, and it seems to describe some indescribable information.

   "It's talking to me, telling where the soul is."

   Those with keen insight may be able to glimpse the incomparable mysteries from the brilliance emitted by this stone.

  【Mythical Object-Weird Stone Sculpture】

Item description: An ancient artwork that contains knowledge of the deep sea. It looks like a stone sculpture of an octopus, but if you look closely, you will find that it is just a mess of seaweed... But why do seaweeds have jagged suckers? ?

   "The depths of the sea, our destination."

   "—Charles family, family motto."

  People with keen insight may be able to discover the hidden thoughts and information of the sculptor from this stone carving. Maybe it is the ladder to the myth? Or, the key to open some kind of relic?

  'Does it contain the high-level knowledge of the stars and the deep sea...'

  Chen Lun touched two cold mythical objects with a smile on his lips.

  He happened to be short of the mythological knowledge of these two paths, so he directly turned on the "quantum reading" mode, immersing his consciousness in these two items.

  A picture of a vast starry sky flashed through Chen Lun's mind. It was so magnificent that it made people feel small.

  The indescribable invisible gaze is cast from the far end.

  In this instant, Chen Lun's Sanity value plummeted by 2 points...

  He then mastered new knowledge.

  【You have penetrated into the strange light of the "Meteor Remnant", and discovered the mythological knowledge of the galaxy "Sequence Four-Witch" from it! 】

  As for the feeling that the octopus statue brings to Chen Lun, it is more like a picture scroll of memories unfolded from someone's perspective.

It was a traveler, and he seemed to be fond of hand-carved weirdo. This statue was made by him... However, the last picture stayed on a certain voyage, and there was a thick fog on the sea, which could only be seen faintly in the distance Some faint archipelago.

  The person in the main perspective raised his hands and threw the statue into the sea, and these hands especially attracted Chen Lun's attention.

   Those are a pair of webbed claws covered with dark green fish scales...

  【You have insight into the information on the "Strange Stone Sculpture", and discovered the mythical knowledge of the deep sea "Sequence Four-Apostle of Disaster" from it! 】

  ‘Well, two copies of mythological knowledge have been obtained. '

  Chen Lun had a smile on his lips.

  He glanced at the palm-sized octopus stone sculpture. From the description on the panel and the illusion he saw just now, he felt that this thing might still be useful.

  After putting the two things into the blood poem ring, Chen Lun finally opened the letter and read it.

  The secret letter written by Princess Anna does not contain much content.

   Probably only half a sheet of paper.

  First of all, she expressed her congratulations on Chen Lun's promotion to the demigod, and then exchanged some pleasantries about the trivial things that happened in the royal city during this period, even including some explosive lace in the noble circle.

   Finally, Princess Anna mentioned two important things.

  One is the recent serial killings in the empire. She expressed concern about the inexplicable increase in the number of extraordinary people in the wild, as well as the sudden emergence of polluting insects.

  The local shelters and the branches of the Church of the Seven Gods are very busy with this. Princess Anna feels that this matter may intensify and become unstoppable in the end.

  She hoped that Chen Lun could advise her.

  The other thing was described in code words, the expression was relatively cryptic, but Chen Lun understood the meaning behind it.

  Princess Anna said in her letter that a new "born of light" came to the surface royal city from her hometown of Matthew and joined her.

   These new members of the Sun Cross said that Jack's name is circulating in the land of Matthew.

  Princess Anna was very surprised that Jack had been there. She sincerely hoped that Chen Lun could help her gain the support of the Matthews... If those dark descendants could return to the surface, it would be of great help to the current situation of the empire.

  After Chen Lun read the letter, a task prompt box popped up on the panel in due course—

  【You triggered the A-level mission: Land of Chasing Light! 】

  Mission description: The current ruler of the empire, Princess Anna Trisul, hopes to bring the underground dwellers back to the surface and help her stabilize the rule of the empire. She entrusts you to investigate the situation in Matthew's Land, and whether the matter is successful or not, she wants a definite answer.

  Mission Objective: Investigate the real reason why the Matthews could not return to the surface, and give Anna Trisul a reply.

  Mission rewards: 500W experience points, 5W gold pounds, Anna Trisul's favorability, and unknown rewards.
