It was the first breakfast Chen Lun had at Mrs. Caroline's place, and the first rice he had eaten since he crossed over.

He was secretly moved to tears and expressed great satisfaction.

Mrs. Caroline's craftsmanship is very good, the aroma of rice wrapped in egg wash stir-fried in butter is charming, and the scaled celery is served with cod and shrimp.

Although Chen Lun didn't like to eat fish very much, he still ate it without any leftovers and drank a cup of flower tea comfortably.

"Is that your husband? Mrs. Caroline. ”

He noticed the two picture frames on the cabinet and asked.

Mrs. Caroline turned around, looked at her, and replied with a smile:

"Oh yes, that's my husband Henry...... And our son Oliver. ”

"Are they in Amber City now?"

Chen Lun asked out loud.

Mrs. Caroline was silent for a moment.

"No, Henry gave his life for the Empire many years ago...... Oliver too. ”

Mrs. Caroline got up and took the album and wiped the dust from it with her handkerchief.

The photo shows a young Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Henry in military uniform, and the other is their son Oliver.

"They died heroically in overseas landings...... May the light of the sun shine on them forever. ”

Mrs. Caroline prayed and silently put down the album.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Caroline."

Chen Lun said apologetically.

Floy, who was on the side, also glanced at him, and through the black satin, she seemed to be able to feel her slightly reproachful "eyes".

"It's okay, little Jack, it's all over......"

Mrs. Caroline regained her old smile, and she came over to refill the flower tea for Chen Lun.

"Flowers bloom like fire, but also like loneliness.

Time may be unforgettable, but as long as I remember them......"

Chen Lun looked at the gray-haired woman and didn't know what to say.

The battle that Mrs. Caroline was talking about, he had actually heard about it, and the Trisur Empire had been coveting lands outside the continent for a long time.

The closest giant island to the Trisur Empire is just outside the far east. That island is called the Misty Island, and there are people living and civilizing on it.

The overseas landing war launched by the Trisur Empire can actually be said to be a colonial war.

But for so many years, it has ended in failure.

Even after several versions of the Open Beta in previous lives, the Empire's plans for colonization still did not progress. On that misty island, I don't know what kind of powerful power is hidden to resist the attack of the Empire.

"Mrs. Caroline, your cooking is amazing, can I learn from you?"

Floy put down her spoon and smiled.

Mrs. Caroline was astonished, and sat down beside her with joy.

"Of course, little Floy."

Chen Lun was also surprised by Floy's words.

But I guessed her intentions, probably to deflect Mrs. Caroline's sadness.

What a good girl.

"Remember to cook the cod in milk in advance and don't break it when you cut it......"

Listening to Mrs. Caroline gleefully talk about the essentials of making fish ball risotto, Chen Lun gave Floy a thumbs up.

Floy responded with a faint smile.

Then Chen Lun expressed his gratitude to Mrs. Caroline for her hospitality, and immediately went out.

After walking out of the hallway, he planned to turn on the slippery mode today. When I passed by the coffee shop next to the flower shop, I saw Connie and Kent sitting under the parasol outside.

Kent was dancing and talking about something, but Connie was unmoved.

She clasped her hands around and was a little distracted.

Chen Lun ignored it and didn't care, and chose to leave directly.

In the alley across the street.

The two Iron Fist youths were bored smoking cigarettes.

"Hey, man, why don't you just go in and get that outland girl away!"

"I think you're crazy, this street is taken care of by the Viscount Pompeii in the inner city, especially the flower shop.

I heard that the landlord, Madame Caroline, was the widow of a comrade-in-arms of the Viscount of Pompeii...... If you're looking for death, don't pull me! ”

The young man who offered to arrest him directly was taken aback.

"How do you know this!?"

"Don't forget, the boss often goes out drinking with those big people in the inner city, and last time I heard a subordinate of an officer casually talk."

The young man threw away his cigarette butt and tugged at his leather jacket.

The other guy was a little impatient.

"So what now? The outland girl hid inside all day......

The man will come out to hang out, or tie him up first, and then let him take the woman out. ”

The young man who threw the cigarette butt reluctantly took off the felt cap and scratched his hair.

He looked at his companion like an idiot.

"Then you can try, in case he calls the police, there will definitely be two of us in the drain the next day."

"Okay, okay, wait!"

……

Chen Lun bought a newspaper and sat on a bench in the square.

On a makeshift wooden podium, a monk from the Red Apple Church still stands, preaching tirelessly.

"Oh, great Madame Rose, thank you for giving us health and vitality, passion and blood......

It is your compassionate gaze that is sprinkled on the world, which plants seeds in the garden and grows into trees......

The holy worm eats apples and turns them into nectar, and has mercy on the sufferings and sicknesses of the world, and soothes their sorrows and woes......"

The monk walked down the platform with a look of compassion.

Two church guards who don't know where they came from, each with a tray with small boxes on it.

Many onlookers rushed forward excitedly, scrambling to buy the small boxes.

"Praise the Rose."

The monk's index finger taps his left chest and forehead, and his five fingers are spread open, holding up the sky in a prayer gesture.

Chen Lun looked at the red-robed monk and couldn't help but scold.

Ah Hong, you're lying again, take a break, go and make sacrifices, okay?

What was inside those small boxes, Chen Lun knew very well.

It is an extraordinary biological secretion called "nectar", which has a healing and strengthening effect on the human body.

The side effects are not obvious, but they are very lacking in morality.

Because it reduces life expectancy and has mild addiction.

The secretion pulled out by the extraordinary maggots the size of a finger after eating an apple is the nectar.

Chen Lun felt disgusted when he thought about it.

But these ordinary people don't know it, and are willing to pay huge "donations" in exchange for this miracle drug.

He sighed softly, the Red Apple Church was really good at this.

"Hey, did you think Congressman Daniel's proposed tax cut would pass?"

"How is it possible, this is so unrealistic."

Two office workers chatted on the bench next to them, attracting Chen Lun's attention.

He always felt familiar, so he turned the newspaper over.

Sure enough, I saw a chubby middle-aged man talking about it on a large plate, and it was the protagonist of the recent discussions, Congressman Daniel.

"Alas, His Excellency Councillor Daniel is a good man of good integrity, but it is a pity that the Council has never listened to those opinions."

"Good guys? I don't think so...... His proposals were clearly invalid and impossible.

Most of them are just a means of attracting people's attention and canvassing votes, and I heard that he is planning to run for the Fossil City Council......"

The office worker who spoke spoke in a somewhat disdainful tone, and did not seem to like the councillor very much.

His companion was a little annoyed.

"What do you think of His Excellency Councilor Daniel, he is one of the few councillors in Amber City who is willing to put himself in the shoes of civilians!"

"Oh, come on...... Taking this proposal as an example, Amber City's finances will not be able to support the city's operation after the tax cut.

At that time, there will not even be a kerosene lamp on the road, so don't fall into the ditch when you go out at night! ”

The two office workers argued, but Chen Lun didn't listen carefully.

Because he suddenly remembered one thing, this Daniel Councilor seemed to be the target of the small guild's protection in his previous life.

It was this councillor who would eventually be killed by Dolly......
