Please take me to greet a man who lives there,

She was my true love. ”

(Scarboroughfair)

Chen Yin hummed softly, holding a round piece of iron with a handle in his hand, busy with something in front of the stove.

The round piece of iron is a hand-made frying pan.

The omelette in the pan is making a "sizzling" sound, and the air is filled with a charming aroma of burnt protein.

On the plate next to it, there were two slices of sliced black bread, two slices of meat that had been fried were steaming, and a layer of light salt flowers slowly melted on the meat slices.

Chen Yin is ready to take a day off.

Of course, this day's rest is not for the betterment of life...... Or rather, he didn't just want to satisfy his appetite, he had other things to think about.

Returning to the table with a hot omelette, Chen Yin made himself two hamburgers, which looked very good with eggs and meat. It's a pity that I can't buy Lao Gan Ma here, and Chen Yin doesn't like the taste of mayonnaise, so he can only eat the original flavor.

"Ahh......h

Bite off a third of the burgers in one bite, and the full taste makes Chen Yin look satisfied.

Stuffing the whole burger into his stomach in three or two clicks, Chen Yin chewed the last bite, but his eyes turned from the rest of the bread to the other side of the table.

There, four crystal statues of different colors are placed on the table.

The white transparent crystal is carved with a six-legged scarab, the silver is a praying mantis, the green is a bee, and the dark red is a Qila worm.

The four crystal statues were arranged in a row on the table, each emitting a faint halo.

In fact, what Chen Yin cares about the most is not their materials and strange origins, but the line of "Card Ring Upgrade Materials 4/4" marked by the true vision effect.

Chen Yin's level has not been improved for a long time.

The bottleneck that plagues the natives does not exist for Chen Yin. So far, Chen Yin has not figured out where the limit of his soul sea is, and even in the fiercest battles, Chen Yin has not explored his bottom line.

For ordinary people, if they are like Chen Yin, they are crazy about squeezing the soul sea, it is simply an act of looking for death.

But for Chen Yin, no matter how long the battle time is, the strength of the battle intensity, it seems that there is never a so-called "limit" for his soul sea, and even the fast charging speed has become one of Chen Yin's killer features - he has repeatedly used a large number of oversized saturation attacks to break through the opponent's defenses.

Although Chen Yin has such an advantage, on the other hand, the level of his card ring is extremely difficult to improve. After the first few smooth promotions to level 5, Chen Yin no longer found materials that could improve his card ring.

Even in a prosperous place like the Golden Harbor, Chen Yin couldn't find a card ring that could be used as a lifting material. After coming to the City of Light, Chen Yin's attention expanded from card rings to gemstones, but unfortunately, even after seeing countless ordinary and cherished gems and card rings, Chen Yin still couldn't find another material that could improve the level of the card ring.

Then things are back to square one.

Chen Yin casually picked up the green bee statue in his hand, and recalled the scene of the battle with Princess Hahoran in his mind, but he couldn't think of why there was such a thing in Princess Hahoran's corpse.

When he used the card ring as a level-up material before, Chen Yin hadn't noticed this question: what is the standard for the card ring upgrade material? What exactly is the essence of these crystal statues? Or what is the internal connection between these crystal statues and those other card rings?

These four crystals are not only the first non-card ring upgrade materials, but also the first combination upgrade materials.

It is precisely because of this two-sided first time that Chen Yin attaches great importance to this upgrade, which is also the reason why he is reluctant to upgrade.

“…… What the hell are you? Chen Yin casually put the green bee statue back on the table, threw his body on the bed, and stared straight at the roof of the shed in a daze.

"Bang!"

The wooden door was slammed open.

“…… A girl is always so rude, but she won't be able to get married. Chen Yin didn't need to look to know who was coming, lying on the bed and unwilling to move.

"Things are in trouble." Vittoria's voice was a little nervous.

"Huh? Are you scared? Chen Yin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Vittoria's mood, "What's wrong?" If you come back at this time...... Did you find something in the house of the Count of Elam? ”

"Divine punishment." Vittoria looked at Chen Yin with a serious face.

That's right, the huge iron box that Vittoria saw was called the Ark of Saints. The name of the Ark is the Standard Divine Punishment Containment and Support Center. Each Sacred Cabinet can hold two Divine Punishment Robots, and provide them with weapons, energy replenishment, and simple repairs and accessory installation.

"It seems that it will be the poor killer who was killed by Ada before that caused Count Elan's uneasiness, so Count Elan asked the people behind him for help, and he didn't know what price he paid in exchange for the protection of the two divine punishments."

Vittoria sighed: "Since the Holy Ark system comes with a threat scanning module, I can't go near Count Elan's house, so I can only leave quickly before the Holy Cabinet is turned on." ”

“…… I remember you said that Divine Punishment has at least 10-star legendary strength......"

"Of course. Moreover, different plugins can be installed according to different enemies, and after installing the anti-human armament, the usual one or two 10-star legends are not its opponents at all. Vittoria nodded slightly.

"And Count Elam himself is a powerful 10-star legend...... So what is he afraid of in Han? Afraid of us? Chen Yin narrowed his eyes and took out the golden-gray painted divine punishment plug-in that he had seized before and played with it in his hand.

"I guess he misunderstood something." Chen Yin said,

“…… What is the misunderstanding......" Vittoria thought.

Looking at Vittoria, who was lost in thought, Chen Yin continued: "First of all, he is by no means afraid of us, or he has no idea that we are cutting off his minions. ”

"Secondly, judging from the reaction of Count Elam, his murder of the Mogothians should have angered some powerful people or forces, and the forces he has been guilty of have a habit of doing things casually, otherwise they will not strengthen the defenses around them."

"So I have every reason to think that the enemy of Count Elam may be our friend."

"Your friend." Vittoria emphasized.

"Well, our purpose is different." Chen Yin smiled, "But since you don't have any way to get those materials now, why don't you help me?" My goal has been accomplished, and your information will not be a problem. ”

"Who wants to help those who are self-righteous, hum~" Although Vittoria said this, she still sat down obediently, "I didn't expect you to be quite sharp, as far as I know, most of the nobles are supporters of the Council of Elders." ”

"And the current authority to use divine punishment is also in the hands of the Council of Elders."

"So if I'm not mistaken, our enemy is an elder of a council...... Or the parliament itself. Vittoria stared at Chen Yin's face with an inquiring gaze, staring at even the slightest expression of his face.

"So?" Chen Yin shrugged.

"Won't you be scared?"

"Afraid of what?"

"The Council of Elders and the Ring of the Earth are the two major organizations that control the ultimate power of this world. You're going to be the enemy of one of them now, won't you be afraid? ”

"The ignorant are fearless." Chen Yin stood up, made another hamburger with bread, meat slices, and fried eggs, and shook it at Vittoria and said, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

"......" Vittoria smiled helplessly, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the humble burger and took a big bite.

"It's a little cold."

The girl said.

"Hey! You're a man! I'm just being polite! You're welcome, do you understand!? Chen Yin watched his food disappear little by little into the girl's little mouth, and collapsed on the bed, "Forget it, eat hard, I wish you a big belly, thick legs and flat chest......"

“…… What do you mean? The girl was at a loss at Chen Yin's vicious curse.

"Hahaha...... Does anyone say you're cute? ”

"What do you mean by Mengmengda? What do you mean by these inexplicable words? Vittoria looked at Chen Yin suspiciously, instinctively feeling that what he said was not a good thing.

"Hahahaha......"

Looking at the ponytail girl's cute face, with bread crumbs on the corners of her mouth, Chen Yin suddenly felt inexplicably funny.

"Neurotic!"

“……”

After a while.

"Hey, how's your situation over there?" Vittoria asked, stuffing the burger into her stomach.

"He's killed himself."

"Huh? That is, the clue is broken? ”

"No, I found this in him." As he spoke, Chen Yin threw a scroll to Vittoria.

When she opened the scroll, the first thing she saw was the eye in the shadow of One—a vividly drawn sign.

"It's ...... Shadow Church!? Vittoria exclaimed.

"That's right." Chen Yin said.

“…… Things seem to be getting more complicated. Vittoria frowned and continued to watch.

There is no way to verify the name of the killer that Chen Yin is chasing, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the killer seems to be saddled with a mission, and monitoring the fifth uncle seems to be another task that changed halfway.

This can be seen from the scrolls he found on his body, which recorded the assassination mission issued by the Shadow Church, marking the time, place, and possible haunts of the target, and repeatedly reiterating the need to "act in secret" and "go undetected".

The quest reels have addresses, detailed objective information, and even portraits and maps.

"What is this place?" Chen Yin asked, pointing to the map at the end of the scroll.

“…… The Government Council? Why the Government Council?? ”

Vittoria looked at the slightly blessed male portrait in bewilderment.

……

Holy.

A clearing at the top of the mountain.

A low bamboo fence encloses a thatched hut, and in the open space in front of it, an old man with a white beard is working with a hoe. I saw that the heavy hoe was dexterously cutting the roots of the weeds in the old man's hands, and the large pieces of soil were broken, but it did not hurt the green vegetables at all, obviously the old man was a veteran in farming.

Suddenly, a young woman emerged from the woods and walked straight to the edge of the fence.

"Coming?" The old man glanced up at the woman, then lowered his head and continued hoeing.

"Elan's minions were killed, and the pressure on me from there has increased. I've heard that the council has made another motion to hold a new reply on the point that you have given up all your cash and brought back a bunch of burdens. The woman whispered.

"Oh? Whose hand did it? ”

The old man straightened up, as if he didn't care about the defense. But the young woman was a little anxious.

"Neon! They're going to insult you again! What kind of defense do you do...... It's just a bunch of ......."

Before she could finish speaking, the old man waved his hand lightly and interrupted the woman's words.

"It's okay, don't you just want to blow my prestige and drag me up to criticize me again? It doesn't matter, if they still ask those simple and childish questions, then it is they who are ashamed. The old man didn't care, and pointed to the document in the woman's hand and said, "I just want to know if it was done by our people." ”

"It's not." The woman singer fenced and handed the document to the old man.

The old man took the document and squinted his eyes a little further away and read silently.

“…… Slum...... Sand people suspected of being vow-holders? The old man frowned, patted the document in his hand, and couldn't believe it: "When did it start, there were also precept holders among the sand people?" ”

"That's why the investigation team isn't sure." The woman replied, "After all, the products of the first batch of soul container projects have big flaws, and most of those products will have the problem of insufficient soul strength. And the sandfolk were banished to the desert precisely because of their lack of soul strength. ”

"Uh-huh." The old man tapped the document with his finger, "What about the others?" Any other news? ”

"There is only social news."

"Read."

"Yes!"

The woman read the recent news in an announcer-like tone:

"The Commonwealth mission has arrived in Hong Kong, and a bilateral meeting will be held tomorrow to discuss the amount of the Commonwealth of Liberty's contribution this year."

"The dwarven envoys have once again made a big fuss about the cathedral, demanding that the Church of the Light fulfill its obligations."

"The council hasn't discussed a result yet?" The old man interjected.

"Yes, most of the elders believe that the dwarves are the custodians of the keys, and the Church of Light is not obligated to help them find the lost keys......"

"Canon 184, Dwarven Covenant." The old man said with a sigh.

“…… Yes, the dwarven envoys say the same, but the council seems inclined to characterize the word 'protection' as personal security, which only comes to the aid of the dwarves when they are invaded, and finances are not covered by the covenant......"

"Bureaucrats." The old man shook his head.

The woman continued:

"The conflict between Archduke Green and Archduke Benjamin intensified, and the two decided to settle it by a duel."

"The Philippe Opera House has been renovated."

"An unnamed bard, alien lute, and a hazy minority go viral......"

"If it's all this kind of news, you don't need to read it, go back......" The old man waved his hand.

"Yes. The subordinates retired. ”

As soon as the woman turned around, the old man suddenly spoke again, "Wait." ”

"Neon?"

"Tell me about the bard again."
