Chapter 208: Joining the Murder Club (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
Chen Lun withdrew from the limit state and let out a sigh of relief.
Mr. Hu walked quickly, laughed twice, and before he could speak, Chen Lun stretched out a hand that emitted green light to treat his injuries.
"Uh...... Thank you, Silver Kettle! ”
It felt the pain lessen, and then realized that its injuries were not light.
"It turns out that you also have the talent of the pot family, I don't think this can be wrong, it's definitely the 'Heart of the Crazy Pot'!"
Mr. Ju remembered the surging blood qi he saw on Chen Lun's body just now, and couldn't help but whisper.
"Maybe you also have the blood of our pot clan in your veins...... Aha! We are destined companions! ”
It patted Chen Lun's shoulder, looking a little kinder than before.
[Mr. Pot's favorability towards you has increased! ] Present for respect! 】
Chen Lun was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this could also get Mr. Pot's extra favorability.
Mr. Bottle slowly came to his side and did not speak. But it had an apologetic look on its face, apparently because it hadn't helped much because of the battle it had just had.
Chen Lun patted its bronze bottle, and everything was silent.
At this time, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his internal organs, but he endured it and did not make a sound, and his face was as usual.
Secretly opened the panel and took a look, and found that his health had dropped to more than half, which was partly due to the burning consumption after turning on the limit state, and partly due to Akbin's illness.
And the negative state of "visceral failure" has not disappeared.
'Akbin is still very difficult...... If he now has the strength of his previous life, maybe I have opened the limit state, and I am not his opponent. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
"Mr. Jack, give."
Akbin threw over a tube of potion.
Chen Lun received a prompt box after receiving it, and then drank it with confidence, relieving the negative state of the disease. Immediately used the [Sting] bookmark, consumed more than fifty sanity points, and pulled his life back to a healthy state again.
The pain was gone, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Akbin turned and walked towards Drinker on the ground, who had already released his deformation from the sheep after the latter had been freed from the control of the armor.
Drinker first fought with Mr. Pot, and then received a blow from Chen Lun's wings in his extreme state, and was seriously injured and unconscious at this time.
With a blank face, Akbin took out medical tools such as medicines, scalpels, and suture needles, and treated him on the spot.
A moment later.
After confirming that Drink's life was not in danger, Akbin stood up.
"Mr. Jack, you don't need to sign a contract to join the 'Murder Club...... But prayer must be prayed to the 'King of Slaughter' and His name must be recited. ”
Akbin's voice was low and solemn.
"It's the club's rules, and it's a condition for getting a blessing."
"No problem."
Chen Lun knew this rule and nodded.
Seeing this, Akbin whispered a name, Chen Lun listened quietly, and then read:
"Murderers, witnesses to deeds, asylums of killers...... Hang your eyes, Great King of Slaughter, and I will give you the most pious wine in exchange for the most wonderful murder! ”
Jingling!
A distant clinking of glasses was heard.
With a chuckle.
"I testify."
The deep male voice came from nowhere.
Chen Lun once again felt that he was swept by a distant sight, and his breath couldn't help but stagnate.
He knew that it was the angel of the conspiracy faction, Conrad!
The next second.
Chen Lun received a hint that he had already started the fetters of the "Mutual Aid Association" and the "Murder Club", and his current favorability was neutral.
"Alright, our mission to Amber City this time has been accomplished, and we won't interfere in the circus again......"
Akbin said.
He then took out a black iron box and an exquisitely carved empty wine glass, and handed them to Chen Lun.
"The tin box is the 'altar', the vehicle used to put the best wine...... The goblet is a token that can call out to the Murder Club's Spiritual Courier to ask any questions you have.
I am not in the habit of raising spiritual messengers...... If you want to contact me, you can ask it to pass it on on your behalf. ”
Chen Lun took the two things and smiled lightly.
"Okay, I got it."
He thought about it and also took out two bottles of wine, which were "Crane Top Green" and "Sage Time".
"This bottle was handed over to the 'Murder Club' in accordance with the rules, and the other bottle was given to you by me personally, Mr. Akbin...... This battle is a misunderstanding, let's make friends. ”
Akbin looked at him quietly, his eyes a little complicated.
After a while, he took two bottles of wine.
"Thanks, these are two good wines, Mr. Jack."
"You're welcome...... Oh yes, and when Mr. Drinker wakes up, don't forget to tell him that he still owes me his life. ”
Chen Lun put on his black hat again and smiled politely.

Amber City Inner City.
Black Messenger Square.
A blonde bard is playing a harp by the fountain, singing melodious songs in his mouth.
Wealthy pedestrians come and go, and many people are attracted by this beautiful melody and stop to listen.
But they left quickly, not even willing to leave a silver knight, and shook their heads with disdain as they left.
The reason is simple, that is, the content of the bard's songs is too pompous and vulgar.
"Hey, you, did you really kill the terrible Kraken off the coast of the Far East?"
A boy in a beret came up to the bard and interrupted his chanting.
"Of course! Not only that, but I have also seen their leader, which is a huge sea monster with a body length of more than ten meters, covered with invulnerable dark green scale armor, and has an ugly and hideous appearance, but it's a pity...... My sword only slashed it, but it didn't kill it, and it ran away. ”
The blonde bard stopped playing, and said with a look of embarrassment and regret.
The little boy licked the ice cream and sneered.
"Just you? The latest volume, The Adventures of Philip, is not as boastful as you...... The protagonist also worked hard to defeat the Great Demon King of the Dark Country, and he was seriously injured, why didn't you have anything to do? ”
"That's because I'm better! You must know that standing in front of you is the greatest bard of the Sun Continent, Alex! What kind of small character is Philip, who dares to compare himself to me? ”
The blonde youth was dismissive.
When the little boy heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and before the cream from the corner of his mouth was wiped off, he pointed to Alex and said:
"Philip is not a small character! He's a hero! Heroes who save the world! ”
The little boy grimaced.
"You're the little guy! The braggart king who sells his way here! ”
"Stinky brat! Be careful that I turn into a dragon in your dreams and eat you! ”
Alex was about to roll up his sleeves and teach the little fellow a lesson, but the boy laughed and ran away, and his mother grabbed his ears and began to cry.
Looking at the mother and son who were drifting apart, Alex rolled his eyes.
He sat down on the edge of the pool, looked at the hat that lay upside down on the ground in front of him, and there was not a single copper crowe, and sighed.
"Heroes don't have the treatment of heroes......"
He patted the bronze statue of the Black Messenger standing beside him, and said in a dissatisfied tone:
"I made this guy a hero."
Ding!
The sound of coins colliding sounded.
Alex was surprised to find that he had two more silver lords in his hat.
Looking up, he saw an old woman with a hunched back looking at him with a kind face.
The old lady had white hair and wrinkles, and her black clothes were not delicate and expensive, but they were very clean. The old hat on his head also has a purple chrysanthemum that can be seen everywhere.
"It's not easy in this world...... Young man, I have listened to all your performances, it is very exciting, although this amount of money is not much, but I hope you accept it, I can only do it to this extent. ”
Alex raised his eyebrows and stroked his chest very gentlemanly.
"Thank you very much, Elder."
The old woman laughed twice, waved her hand, and trembled as she prepared to leave.
Alex stopped her.
"Ma'am, you are the first sincere listener of the day, please let me play a piece for you alone."
"Oh, I'm honored, young ......"
The old lady was a little surprised, but she stopped, and then listened with a smile on her face.
Alex plucked the harp, and the beautiful notes like a spring seemed to leap out, and he closed his eyes and threw himself into the chant.
Finally he sang:
"He quietly poured out the glow and filled the valleys and the jungles, and once again my soul purified my troubles.
He also sent autumn waves gently, shining on my dreams, like a grandmother's doting eyes, watching my fate......"
After the song, the old lady applauded lightly and nodded.
Alex asked:
"What do you think?"
"Very beautiful melody, very beautiful lyrics......"
Alex smiled even more.
"This was written by one of my fans, but it's a pity that he didn't write anything else, otherwise I wouldn't have to sing about my glorious deeds all day long."
He gradually opened up the conversation box and asked the old lady:
"You don't seem to be a native here?"
"yes......"
The old lady nodded, and smiled kindly, her eyes showing anticipation.
"I just came over to see my loved ones...... I haven't seen them in a long time and miss them so much. ”
Alex raised his eyebrows, bent down and took out the two silver lords from his hat, and gave one back to the old lady.
"This is for you, I hope you have a safe journey and see your loved ones."
He seemed to see that the old lady was not rich, so he said.
The old lady was a little surprised, took the silver jue in her hand, and smiled one last time:
"Thank you, you are a kind young man, may the moonlight bless you."

The newsboy ran through the streets, waving newspapers in his hands and shouting:
"Big news! Big news! The royal family is under attack! It's going to war!! ”
When passers-by heard the news, they paid attention, and many men stopped the newsboy, and then took out five copper croads and bought a newspaper.
In the midst of the exclamation, the newsboy quickly sold most of the newspaper, and was happily counting the copper coins, when suddenly a tall figure came to him.
"Two newspapers, and by the way, give me a box of 'Sunshine brand' cigarettes."
The newsboy looked up and saw that it was a middle-aged man with a beard.
"Ah, sir, there are exactly two servings left...... To give. ”
The newsboy rummaged through a satchel larger than his upper body, took out two newspapers and a box of cigarettes, and handed them over.
Golov gave twenty-seven bronzes and returned to the carriage parked by the side of the road with his belongings.
"Miss Maggie, this is today's paper."
He handed one of them into the curtain of the carriage, and a voice came from inside:
"Thank you, Golov."
"You're welcome."
Golov responded.
He set out the day before yesterday according to the order of the regimental commander, and just brought Miss Maggie back today.
Driving the carriage towards Jack's Manor, he opened the cigarette case, lit one, and opened the newspaper.
"Huh?"
