Viscount Pompeii sent away several "friends" from the circle of nobility.

He returned to the lobby on the first floor of the villa and sat on the sofa with a slight exhaustion on his face.

Rebecca came to her father, took him by the arm, and said softly:

"Dad, are we really going to move out?"

The viscount smiled lightly and turned to look at his daughter.

"Oh no, we're not moving...... Just let them toss, a bunch of frightened cowards. Our family has lived in Amber City for decades and has become accustomed to it. ”

Madame Pompey then took a hot towel from the maid's hand, walked slowly to the back of the sofa, and gently wiped her husband's cheek.

"Thank you."

The viscount leaned back on the sofa with pleasure, glanced at his wife, and smiled.

Madame Pompey responded with a smile.

"I wonder how Mr. Jack is doing now......"

Rebecca pouted and gently touched the silver snake stud earrings on her ears.

"Don't worry, Rebecca, Mr. Jack will be fine...... I've gotten word from an old friend that his wanted warrant has been revoked. ”

"Ah, really?! That's great! ”

Rebecca Shin likes to exhale.

After experiencing the exhibition, their admiration for Mr. Jack was even more thorough, because he saved not only his own family, but countless other people.

This also proves that the previous wanted was a slander against him.

Mr. Jack is indeed a great man.

Rebecca's eyes were filled with twinkling starlight.

He must be an angel sent down by Granny Moonlight!

Rebecca's most admired knight!

At this time, the butler of Binoz came with a newspaper in his hand, and walked briskly.

"Your Excellency, please read the newspaper."

Viscount Pompey took it and spread out the newspaper, and Rebecca and Madame Pompeii also looked at it, and everyone had surprised expressions on their faces.

The headline of the cover is-

'The squalor behind the Red Apple Church in Amber City!' The Black Messenger punishes the gods! ”

In the photo, it is the entrance of the Red Apple Church, and you can vaguely see the mess in the courtyard. A black-haired young man spreads his wings and soars into the sky.

Many onlookers were also filmed in the frame, and in the corner, there were five inconspicuous young men and women. They all looked horrified, one of the square-faced men was picking at his nose, and the other horse-faced man had a hideous expression, looking at the shape of his mouth, as if he was saying a strange syllable "cao".

Chen Lun put down the newspaper.

There was a strange expression on his face.

"Why was Polaris' group of players also photographed......"

He shook his head slightly and got up from his chair.

In the past two days, he has taken Floy and Connie and moved back to the original Jack Manor.

After searching the Red Apple Church, I gained a huge amount of money, and naturally I also had spare money to buy a "family business". With a wave of his hand, Chen Lun directly spent more than 300 gold pounds to buy the entire manor, intending to make this place his own station.

Mona sent her men to return all the machinery and tools that had been confiscated, and even gave some compensation.

This made Chen Lun quite satisfied.

He walked to the window, looked at Connie who was busy working below, and the craftsmen who had been called back, and smiled.

"Things are getting better......

In the past two days, he has learned about some changes in Amber City through the information from the Small Animals and the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

The shelter has brought in a new group of personnel from the surrounding towns to supplement Amber City's lack of strength.

The Red Apple Church has been exposed for alleged fraud, murder, and illegal sacrifices, and it is clear that Mona is behind it. But Chen Lun knew that these could not shake their foundation at all, at most they would only ruin their reputation.

The Trisur Empire is so big, Amber City is just a corner.

But it's not completely without benefits, at the very least, Chen Lun can develop here with peace of mind, and he doesn't have to worry about being hindered by the Red Apple Church in a short period of time.

In addition, he said that he was not optimistic about the measures taken by the shelter to seal it.

After the future open beta, as players level up and more and more transcendents gradually appear, this sealing method will become extremely weak.

Of course, at that time, the empire will have more appropriate and more radical countermeasures.

"Hoo ......"

Chen Lun let out a sigh of relief.

"There's a lot more to come."

Yesterday evening, he suddenly and inexplicably triggered a mission.

[C-Rank Mission: Circus!] 】

Mission Description: Following the tragic death of the leader of the Circus, a failed kidnapping case at the exhibition, the remaining members lurk in Amber City, waiting for an opportunity to start a new campaign.

Finding them and stopping them may be a good way to boost your reputation.

Rewards: 7,000 XP, 15 Gold Pounds, 1 Regional Singing Degree, and [Conspiracy Faction Mystery Book]*1

"I'm really sleepy, I'm here to deliver a pillow."

Chen Lun laughed secretly.

The development plan in his heart gradually became clear after the arrival of this task.

The task had been taken, but he intended to do it in another way, and that was to co-opt. Remove some of the most heinous and die-hard elements, and leave some available people to form their own transcendent forces.

Then strive to gain official recognition, so that you can act openly and honestly, so as to achieve your goals.

The empire does adopt a policy of coercive repression against the opposition, but the radicals like Roderick do not account for all of them.

There is a part of those in power who are more inclined to the moderates, who advocate a policy of softness, and absorb these "destabilizing factors" through co-optation and cooperation. Among them, Mona and her backstage belong to this faction.

If this were not the case, there would be no possibility for organizations like the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce and the Black Knife Brotherhood to exist.

In a way, this is a compromise of the Empire.

But Chen Lun knew that in order to achieve this goal, the process was not simple, and some preparation was needed.

"Let's count the loot first......"

Chen Lun closed the window and drew the curtains.

Then he walked over to the table and took out a large pile of items from the grape ring. These were the loot he had collected before, and he needed to sort them out.

First, he picked up the books he had scavenged from the Red Apple Church.

Four mystery books with supernatural knowledge, and a sub-class book.

Rushing......

Chen Lun opened "Blood Brewing", and after reading it for a while, a prompt box popped up-

[You've found a rare book that contains information and knowledge about subclasses!] 】

[By reading carefully, you have gained subclass knowledge (complete)!] 】

【Brewer】

[If you don't meet the inheritance conditions, is it mandatory to use it as your new sub-class?] 】

【Warning! Forced inheritance will be penalized by gains! 】

Chen Lun chose "no".

Then close it and put it down.

"Yes, it's right......"

He muttered.

However, Chen Lun does not plan to force him to take up a job now, because the income penalty will not only reduce the skill points and attribute points obtained by leveling up, but also increase the experience points required for leveling, which is very cost-effective.

He planned to "wash away] the [fishermen] before taking office.

Immediately afterward, Chen Lun began to check the remaining four mystery books.

"Sun, Moon, Flesh and Magic......"

Chen Lun flipped through these four books one by one, triggered the prompts above, and included the transcendent sequences contained in his bag.

Among them, he already has [Flesh Faction Sequence 9 - Butcher], so he can only use it as an "experience book" and put it aside for later.

The [Sequence 9] of the other three routes were all collected by him, and they just filled the gap.

They are [Sun Faction Sequence 9 - Believer], [Moon Faction Sequence 9 - Medium] and [Magic Faction Sequence 9 - Scholar].

"There are still two factions left, 'Conspiracy' and 'Deep Sea', so I have gathered the primer knowledge of ten sequences."

Chen Lun smiled secretly.

After obtaining the corresponding transcendent knowledge, these three books are also useful, and you can gain experience points and points by reading. For Chen Lun now, although it is not a lot, it cannot be wasted.

In his previous life, he even had to use a hammer to knock out the last bit of toothpaste, and the fat house happy water had to be mixed with white to wipe out the residue on the inner wall, not to mention this precious upgrade resource.

It must be squeezed dry.

He put the five books away and prepared to add some to himself.

After completing the main quest, you will receive 10 special attribute points and 1 blessing point, which are all top-level resources.

General attribute points cannot improve the four special attributes of charm, insight, will, and luck, and need to be increased by special attribute points and other methods, so the value of special attribute points is extremely high.

Chen Lun added all these 10 points to his will, and his own will was a short board, only 6 points. It influences some weighted judgments, but also determines the amount of sanity, and its importance to oneself is increasing.

Immediately, Chen Lun thought about it for a while and decided to add blessing points to [Natural Favor], which would be more helpful to himself at this stage. After raising one level, the effect is directly doubled.

【Nature's Favor LV2 (Blessing)】

Blessing Description: The Angel of the Nature Faction, Maggie Milla, has taken an eye on you and bestowed your blessings.

Blessing Effect: [Sequence 9 - Beast Tamer] All skill levels +2, all attributes +2.

"Blessing points are worthy of being the most high-end points, and this is too much of a boost......"

Chen Lun sighed.

In the previous life, few players could get blessings, which basically belonged to the entry of bosses and a few elite NPCs. As for the exclusive "Blessing Points", which increase the blessing level, it is even more difficult to obtain.

Chen Lun felt his own strengthening, and faintly felt that the memory grid of [Animal Imitation] could contain the characteristics of an extraordinary creature.

"Give it a try, and if you can, replace a feature."

In the rewards of the main quest, there are also 10 regional singing points, and with the accumulation of 6 points, it has now reached 16 points.

"This has helped me a lot in my next plans......

Chen Lun said secretly.

"Panel."

He called out his panel and looked at it—

[Evaluation: You have almost reached the end of the low sequence, and even reached the middle sequence level in some aspects, but you have not yet completed the qualitative change. Hurry up, can you sleep at this age? 】

Chen Lun nodded to himself with satisfaction.

Then, he pulled out the small package Floy had given him.

After counting, a total of eight [D-class tricks], from which to choose, I found two that were slightly normal and suitable for my own use.

【D-Class Trick - Black Cufflinks】

Item description: A cufflink containing shadow powers, with a black striped appearance and a very restrained appearance.

Slow down your steps, slow down your breathing, yes, that's it......

Item Effect: Standing in the shadows can effectively reduce the sense of presence.

Item price: Wearing it for a long time will cause photophobia.

【D-Class Trick - Rusty Toothpick (Disposable Consumables)】

Item description: A toothpick containing shadow powers, resembling a wooden toothpick, but with speckled rust attached to its surface, which is very suspicious. When I looked away from it, I could see it bending gently in the afterglow.

Quick, use me to open the door to your sweetheart......

Item Effect: Can open most locks (weighting required)

Item Consideration: After use, the door will be forgotten to close within 72 hours.

"These two strange objects may have a miraculous effect in a specific scene."

Chen Lun put them aside, and the other six pieces were packed. These are not valued, either the scope of application is small, or the cost is too large, in short, the cost performance is lower.

"Players are weak when they first come to this world, and they need an honest and loyal warm-hearted NPC like me to redeem them and guide them ......"

He looked at the bag of "strange bits and pieces" and said solemnly:

"Just leave all these good things to them."

When the open beta comes, you must always have a guy who can handle it, not only to have a "ticket" to the mysterious realm - extraordinary knowledge, but also to have "superb equipment", so that the two-pronged approach can make players want to stop.

"Next up are the two heavyweight guys......"

Chen Lun took out the ordinary leather glove and stroked the fine lines on it, only feeling happy.

[B-class Trickery - Fireworks in the Palm of Your Hand]

Item description: A creation containing the power of the sun, created by the former pope of the Church of the Sun, the work of his youth. It has the appearance of a tan leather glove, a terrifying weapon forged by extraordinary means.

The sun beats in the palm of its hand, like fireworks that turn the sky upside down.

Item Effect: Unleashes and manipulates Extraordinary Fire. (The flame does not distinguish between friend and foe, be vigilant against self-immolation.) ）

Item cost: Consumes your own physical strength and water, and can be overdrawn with your vitality.

Chen Lun put it on, snapped his fingers, and a small pinch of fire ignited on his fingertips, and then under his control, the flame turned into a kitten beating.

The kitten transformed, and then became a dog, a crow, a pangolin, a rhinoceros and other animals, and finally turned into a fire snake, which flew to Chen Lun's side and surrounded him.

Rumble!

The fire dissipated.
