Remember [New] for a second,! Lu Chen followed Ji Wu Jiu's footsteps, "What happened?"

He thought to himself that the Sistine Empire and the country of steam and machinery went to war? Some time ago, he heard Chu Zihang say that the country of steam and machinery has entered a state of full preparation for war, and the target of the war is unknown.

Although Chu Zihang had a good time as a researcher and an ace pilot there, he still did not understand the deep secrets of the country of steam and machinery. He analyzed that the country of steam and machinery was not to compete for territory, but There are other goals.

Because the land of steam and machinery is smaller than the Sistine Empire, it is also vast and sparsely populated, and the population density of this world is not high.

Territory is of little significance to the two countries. In terms of materials, the two lands are equally fertile and barren, and there are no special products that are only available on the opposite side.

When two countries go to war, race, belief, etc. are just rhetoric. There is often only one real reason, and that is interests.

But what are the interests of the country of steam and machinery?

Although they have made significant progress in industry, they may not be able to gain a clear advantage in the current war with the Sistine Empire. Once the war begins, it will be a waste of life, and neither of the two sides will have a better time.

But Chu Zihang said that the high-level officials of the country of steam and machinery are very determined, and it seems that it involves the fate of mankind in this era.

"There is a change in the sea of ​​nothingness. The Imperial Shield among the Four Horsemen of Dawn, Mr. Bolton disappeared there, and the Imperial Spear has died in the line of duty, and even the body has not been recovered."

Ji Wu Jiu's pace was very fast, he brought Lu Chen to the Inquisition, in his own office.

"Change? Is there any creature or weirdness?"

Lu Chen recalled the shadow that covered the sky and the sun that night in the sea of ​​​​nothingness, hidden behind the thick fog, which made him feel a little trembling. .

At that time, Pope Mona of Eternal Night Church and Pope Peter of Morning Embrace Church fought a battle above the sea of ​​nothingness, and eventually both fled because of the appearance of that existence.

If that existence really appeared, let alone the two knights of dawn, even Ji Wu Jiu would have a hard time surviving.

Ji Wu Jiu asked Lu Chen to sit down, maybe it was an emergency, and he was in a heavy heart, so he didn't make tea, "We don't know the specific reasons for their death and disappearance, but the situation there is very bad now, the people in Haibei Province have been arrested. Arrange for emergency evacuation."

Lu Chen pondered: "What did the church send them to before?"

"Retrieving the guardian suit, there is one item in the guardian suit that has not been returned to the church, the two of them acted together, in order to recover the gauntlet in the guardian suit, but on the way back, a special strange disaster occurred in the north of Haibei Province. , the two went to deal with it, and eventually one died and the other disappeared."

Ji Wujiu explained.

"What about the guardian suit?"

Lu Chen smelled an unusual aura, a strange disaster or something, most likely just a bait.

"The whereabouts are unknown now, perhaps left in the sea of ​​nothingness, or someone took it away."

Ji Wu Jiu took out a document, "This is a report of the matter."

Lu Chen took the document and glanced at it, wondering, "The catastrophe that the two Dawn knights can't escape? Then they should have encountered the existence of the angels, but what I don't understand is the information that they died and disappeared. , where did it come from?"

Even the Knights of Dawn were not spared, could there be other survivors?

"It's Her Royal Highness, she is a secret entourage, and she did not need to deal with that matter, so she did not follow the two dawn knights to the north of Haibei, but was completing the synchronization with the guardian suit, she was at that time. Three guardian suits have been obtained, and she is investigating some of her personal affairs in Haibei Province."

Ji Wu Jiu has a trace of worry in his eyebrows, he rarely shows his emotions on his face, but the situation is really bad right now.

"Your Highness? Can she survive?"

Lu Chen recalled that beautiful blond girl, her strength was only in the super middle class, not as good as Master Yi Deng, and rationally, any sin bishop of the Evernight Church could kill her.

When both Dawn Knights were defeated, how could she come back alive?

"She arrived too late, only to see the imperial spear, Mr. Sylter, burst into a cloud of blood, and Mr. Bolton was swallowed by the huge waves of the sea of ​​nothingness. She was unable to rescue her, and if it wasn't for the guardian suit She couldn't escape alive."

Ji Wu Jiu tapped the table with his fingers, and the speed increased without his noticing.

Lu Chen pondered, he had never touched the guardian suit, but now it seems that the effect may be really powerful, and it can make a person with a basic strength of special level, the life-saving ability exceeds that of the dawn knight.

He opened his mouth and asked, "The situation is really bad, but why didn't the two Dawn Knights hand over the last Guardian suit to Irina first, so that her combat power would be stronger."

"I don't know, I would like to say that they follow the established procedures of the night watchman to maintain the order of the night, but their priority of tasks should really be the guardian suit, even if it will make life in Haibei Province suffer."

Ji Wu Jiu seemed to be in a very irritable mood, counting the lost guardian suits this time, there were only three pieces left in the Church of Morning Embrace, and they also lost two knights of dawn.

The so-called disappearance, in that case, there is basically no possibility of survival.

"Mr. Ji seems very irritable and things are very troublesome, but you shouldn't be so anxious."

Lu Chen wondered, he knew that Ji Wu Jiu was a calm person, otherwise he would not be called the God of Death in the Night, and he was the head of the Inquisition. Even if the protection of the inheritance land fell, he was still very calm.

"You're right, the loss of the two Dawn Knights is indeed a heavy blow to the Church of Morning Embrace, but with the rise of young people, as long as Peter and I are still there, we can always go through difficult times, which really gives me a headache. is another thing."

Ji Wu Jiu's black shadow surged and sealed off the entire office, he said solemnly, "His Majesty the Pope is missing."

"what?"

Lu Chen was really a bit shocked this time. He knew Peter's strength. A conservative estimate was that his main attribute in combat was at least 185 points, making him the number one human master in the world.

Ji Wu Jiu frowned slightly, "After the incident, he also went to the sea of ​​nothingness, but he didn't come back."

Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly felt that something was wrong. He only went out for a few days, traveled around the empire a little, and finally fought a battle with the explorers in the northeast, not far from Haibei Province. He should be able to sense the battle of the rank.

Especially the existence in the sea of ​​nothingness, if it appears, not only him, but the whole continent should have a feeling of heart palpitations.

"When did this happen? Why is there no big movement?"

Lu Chen asked.

"Two days ago, I wanted to urgently recall you, but the interior of the church is not clean. I am afraid that the act of recalling you will make people aware of something. The disappearance of His Holiness the Pope is still confidential information."

Ji Wu Jiu said, "He went to the Sea of ​​Nothingness in secret, no one except me knows about his disappearance, if Evernight Church learns that Peter is not in the capital and disappeared in the Sea of ​​Nothingness, then things will become even more difficult. trouble."

Lu Chen nodded, although the Evernight Church is usually low-key, it is always very aggressive when it is time to take action. If they learn that the highest combat power of the Morning Embrace Church is missing, and if they know that Ji Wu Jiu's strength is indeed a problem, then they will Even if it comes to overthrow the capital, it is not impossible.

So Ji Wu Jiu can't leak the news, once it gets out, not only will the people of Morning Embrace Church become unstable, but also may be attacked by foreign enemies.

"So, what does Mr. Ji want me to do?"

Lu Chen asked the key point, the other party told him such a secret matter, presumably he had a plan.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, listen to me first, the seriousness of the matter is more than that."

Ji Wu Jiu sighed, "Something is landing in the sea of ​​nothingness, most of the night watchmen above the high-risk level of Morning Embrace Church have received orders to start heading north this morning."

"weird?"

Lu Chen thought to himself.

"A large number of various types are constantly appearing. The Sword of Empire, one of the knights of dawn, has already headed to town, but the situation is not stable. I can't leave the capital now, so I hope Mr. Lu can take a trip."

Ji Wujiu explained.

Lu Chen didn't ask the other party why he couldn't leave the capital. In Peter's absence, Ji Wu Jiu was the number one expert in the capital. If he also left, it would be almost as if the king had no defenses. Without the need for the Pope to do it himself, several bishops of major sins came over and raided the house.

"In a hurry? Need to leave immediately?"

Lu Chen thought about it and asked. To be honest, he thought this matter was very complicated, and he didn't want to go directly to the sea of ​​nothingness.

He likes to play against the strong, but he doesn't want to go head-to-head with an unidentified, obviously unbeatable opponent.

The existence hidden in the sea of ​​nothingness is likely to be an old god. As for which one is, the church cannot verify it, and even Peter has no way of saying it.

The old gods are the upper limit of difficulty in this world, which is too far from his current strength. If he wants to fight against the old gods, he must improve his strength as soon as possible.

The God of Gamblers ban is something that only dogs can do. Lu Chen can't guarantee that he can enter that state on the line between life and death, especially since he is still carrying the lives of his teammates.

"It's not in a hurry, Ye Chengfeng, the sword of the empire, contacted me two hours ago, saying that the current situation is fairly stable, but he feels that something terrifying is approaching in the depths of the sea of ​​nothingness, and I hope the capital will send another one. The Knights of Dawn defended with him."

Ji Wu Jiu said that he was not in a hurry, but the head message in his words was still urging Lu Chen to go as soon as possible.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, "...Give me two days. During the inspection of the empire, I discovered a hidden danger at the level of an envoy. I want to solve the problem there first."

He was naturally talking about Kaka's news. Before heading to the sea of ​​nothingness, he hoped to absorb another strange source.

"Envoy level? Mr. Lu, you..."

Ji Wu Jiu was stunned when he heard the words, but he sensed Lu Chen's breath and found that the other party was much stronger than before, "Why are you absorbing the source of weirdness so quickly? Didn't I say to do it step by step?"

He was worried that Lu Chen's absorption of the strange origin too quickly would lead to a mental breakdown, and the improvement of the opponent's strength was obviously abnormal.

It has only been less than a month, and the other party has become a real god-level powerhouse, and it took ten years to digest the source that he absorbed back then!

"Maybe my physique is special, and maybe Mr. Ji already knows what I saw back then."

Lu Chen said slowly, Archbishop Kular resigned last week and gave up his position of power in the church. After staying in Ocalan for a few days, he went home to retire.

But he said he would still be ready to be dispatched as a night watchman if the Morning Embrace Church needed it.

The events of that year have also been re-recorded into the library. Archbishop Kular apparently retired because of his mistakes in the past. Of course, Ji Wu Jiu now knows the truth of Ocalan City, and also knows that Lu Chen once faced the ancient world. God.

"Maybe everyone's talent is really different, Mr. Lu is a real genius."

Ji Wu Jiu shook his head and said, "But the hidden danger of the god-level disaster you mentioned is within the territory? Are you sure you can handle it with confidence?"

"I'll give it a try, because the investigation is not deep enough, so I won't say much about it. If I feel unsure, I'll go directly to the sea of ​​nothingness."

Lu Chen only listened to Kaka's general location, and was unable to chat with Ji Wu Jiu in detail.

"It seems that Mr. Lu has a troublesome physique. I heard that you also encountered people from the Evernight Church in the northeast. The landscape has been changed under the war..."

Ji Wu Jiu glanced at Lu Chen with a deep meaning, "I hope Mr. Lu's trip goes well this time."

Lu Chen and the other party looked at each other calmly, knowing that Ji Wu Jiu should know that there was something wrong with his actions in the Northeast this time, but he did not cause any loss to the church, so Ji Wu Jiu obviously turned a blind eye.

Right now, what the Morning Embrace Church needs is a strong person. In the case of Ji Wu Jiu's health, Lu Chen is the number one strong person who deserves it~lightnovelpub.net~ He can't follow him on such an unknown matter. Lu Chen is serious.

What's more, Lu Chen's previous performance in guarding the land of inheritance has proved himself. He is by no means an enemy of the Morning Embrace Church.

"I will rest in the capital for half a day, and then set off directly. If it is really urgent there, Mr. Ji can also contact me again."

Lu Chen thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and said, "I don't have a convenient way to contact the headquarters."

Ji Wu Jiu was stunned for a while, and took out a monkey doll from the shadow, "It can contact me."

After Lu Chen took it, he glanced at it, it was still a mysterious item of mythological quality, and he immediately put it away.

Seeing Lu Chen get up, Ji Wu Jiu said again, "Mr. Lu might run into Sister Hilfi when he goes out. If you are in a hurry to go home...it's best to avoid her."

Lu Chen was a little puzzled, but still nodded, Ji Wu Jiu didn't urge him to leave the capital, obviously he knew that he was going to meet Miss Huiliyi from Duke Uesugi's house.

After he walked out of the Inquisition, he saw Sister Hilfi standing outside, blocking the door. Today, she has no black veil with a nun on her head, her long hair is scattered like a waterfall, and her soft face is filled with anxiety. .
