- Assassination of the Sun Royalty! The Duke of Brauci Sur has been attacked by enemy assassins, and his life and death are unknown! War is coming! ”

Chen Lun looked at the newspaper with a deep look in his eyes.

Golov was sitting on the couch, he had just sent Maggie back, and then gave the newspaper to Chen Lun.

The newspaper did not go into much detail, but gave a general description of what happened.

This happened in the Tourmaline Royal City, the day before yesterday, which was the birthday of Monica Trisur, the daughter of Grand Duke Braucresur.

At the birthday party, a transcendent disguised as a guest inflicted a heavy blow on Duke Blau, and on his way out, he was rounded up by the asylum executioner team and the Church of the Sun's lamp guard team on the way to escape.

After interrogation, the Assassins were found to be from the neighboring "United Kingdom of Anlong".

The kingdom was not part of the Trisul Empire, but consisted of three former principalities and a dozen small states, the main components being the Principalities of Yako, Cherol, and Tzbreba.

They are bordered by the kingdom of Beelzebub to the west and the Empire of Trasur to the east, which is equivalent to a country that lives in the cracks.

Due to the special geographical location and the abundance of various resources in the country, it has always been coveted by the empire, and there are often frictions between the two sides.

However, because the empire has been advancing eastward in recent years, waging colonial wars overseas, trying to cross the ocean and occupy the Misty Continent, it has not been able to free up its hands to officially start war against the United Kingdom of Anlong.

Now this assassination case is like a fuse, which has aroused the anger of the people of the empire.

The territory of the United Kingdom of Anlong, the original three principalities, belonged to the Trisur Empire hundreds of years ago, and now the public opinion in the country wants to recover this land as soon as possible.

But this assassination case is full of doubts, such as how strong that transcendent was to be able to openly assassinate the Duke in the royal city, under the nose of the Sun Royal Family, and why he chose to assassinate on such a grand occasion instead of choosing a more hidden time, etc......

However, Chen Lun knew that none of this mattered, because all of this may have been guided by the Sun Royal Family itself, and the purpose had been achieved.

'Is it the prince's layout......?' I remember a post in my previous life analyzing the main plot of version 1.0, and it was precisely because of the war between the Trisur Empire and the Anlong Kingdom that the Red Apple Church took the opportunity to start the turmoil. ’

He groaned.

As he kept recalling, he retrieved some of those vague memories.

The prince of the Trisur Empire, named Dazlet, was favored by the Sun King, and many political and state affairs involved the prince.

This assassination has been analyzed by players, and it is very likely that the prince secretly promoted it in order to remove the opposition in the royal family and find an excuse to go to war.

Kill two birds with one stone.

And the players who were active on the border at that time dug up some clues through various side plots, such as the Duke of Blau was actually secretly trading with the United Kingdom of Anlong, selling a large number of equipment and weapons unique to the empire.

This may have been one of the reasons why the prince killed him.

'The war should soon begin, as it has been in a previous life...... At that time, the Red Apple Church will change its dormant state and begin to operate around the empire. ’

Chen Lun felt some pressure.

'I need money now, I need XP to level up, I need transcendent knowledge to follow...... The Red Apple Church will definitely choose to temporarily escape from the surveillance of the Sun Church and the Shelter at this stall, and the high-end combat power will end...... Only strength is the guarantee of survival in this chaos. ’

He looked at the rest of the paper.

Interestingly, at the birthday party of Monica, the daughter of the Grand Duke, the president of the previous Meidan jewelry company and Count Lawson, who was rescued by Chen Lun, presented extremely precious diamonds.

Unfortunately, they all died in the path of the Assassins.

Chen Lun couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that the fate of Count Lawson had not been completely changed by him, and he would not escape death in the end.

"Thank you, Golov, go and rest."

He put down the newspaper and said to the bearded man across the couch.

Golov got up and took off his hat and saluted, and then left.

Chen Lun looked at the empty living room and shook his head slightly.

As soon as Maggie returned, he said a brief hello and went upstairs to the research room to study the new potion, before he could ask about the plague outside the city.

"Forget it, let's go see how Floy and Noah are doing."

"Mr. Jack, this is a portrait of Mr. Golov, Mr. Patton, Miss Floy, and myself......"

Noah lifted a white cloth in the corner, revealing a box with a dozen oil paintings neatly placed inside.

Chen Lun walked over to inspect them and found that the paintings had been simply framed, and they contained some extraordinary powers.

Among them, Golov and Patton have the most paintings, each of which has five paintings, with different expressions and movements. There is only one portrait of Floy and Noah.

Chen Lun picked up Floy's painting, she was wearing a black dress, her eyes were covered with black vines, she was smiling, and she was sitting quietly in a chair.

【Extraordinary Thing - Character Oil Paint (One-time Consumable)】

Item description: A genius painter with great attainments has copied the extraordinary power of a certain young lady, preserving a rare copy of the power of the moon.

"I didn't want to bother Miss Floy for too long, so I painted only one."

Noah smiled sheepishly.

"It's okay, Noah."

Chen Lun then picked up the self-portrait that belonged to the other party, showing a young man wearing glasses, washing the paint board in his hand.

"It's a self-portrait I drew when I was a kid, and I'm smiling, Mr. Jack."

Noah said.

"It's very well drawn, it's both a work of art and something extraordinary......"

Chen Lun chuckled and complimented.

"And you did control your diet during this time, and you lost a lot of weight...... I believe it won't be long before you can get back to what you were pictured. ”

Noah smiled and thanked him for the compliment.

Chen Lun put all these paintings into the Blood Poetry Ring, and then said to Noah:

"Come and draw one for me."

"Okay! Mr. Jack! ”

Noah seemed very happy, and immediately prepared the painting tools and moved a chair for Chen Lun.

After Chen Lun sat down, Noah immediately entered the working state. The bone key around his neck squirmed slightly, and blood slowly oozed from the floor of the room, and an easel emerged from it.

Noah holds a paintboard in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, and begins to paint on the board.

A moment later.

Chen Lun felt a mysterious connection between the painting and himself, but he did not feel any discomfort in himself.

"It's done, Mr. Jack."

Noah walked over with the painting in his hand, a smile on his face.

"You are indeed the most perfect man I have ever met, and this painting is far from depicting you."

He flipped the painting upside down, showing Chen Lunto's contemplative appearance.

The medium-length black hair was slightly curly, faintly revealing the handsome face and deep eyes below.

"Good work, Noah."

Chen Lun took the painting and nodded with satisfaction.

He was a little curious about how much power Noah had with the portrait he drew for himself with the [White Bone Gallery].

Chen Lun glanced at the paintings covered with white cloth in Noah's room again, and knew in his heart that most of them were ordinary portraits of himself.

I just don't know if Noah listened to his own words and dressed them.

Wait until dinner is over.

Chen Lun planned to find a chance to chat with Floy alone, but he didn't expect the other party to find him first.

"The kind of hedron you gave me before...... Although it can trigger red lightning when used alone, I have found that it works better when I add some other other-extraordinary materials and are fused and forged. ”

Floy said, taking out two samples from the grape ring.

A short sword and a wand, respectively.

"This weapon is not a strange thing, it can only be said to be an item with mysterious powers."

"Thank you, Floy."

Chen Lun took the two weapons and looked at them carefully.

【Extraordinary Weapon - Unnamed】

Item description: A weapon containing heat and erosion power, it takes the form of a short sword with a small arm, the body of the sword is black faceted hedron throughout, and the blade is very sharp, and when it collides, it will trigger a red arc of electricity.

It is a combination of a variety of extraordinary materials, forged by the extraordinary forging power that contains the moon, and is a seemingly simple, but very delicate weapon.

Chen Lun stretched out his hand and covered the Didak Armor on his palm, his pale fingers gently brushing the blade of the sword, making a soft sound.

Zizi!

The red arc popped out, and Chen Lun felt a trace of numbness.

"It's a very good weapon, let's call it 'Sombra Shortsword'."

Chen Lun put it down satisfied, and then picked up his wand again.

This wand looks similar to chopsticks, with a wooden feel, except that the top is inlaid with a pitch-black dragon stone, and the core of the entire wand is also made of dragon stone.

Its description is similar to that of a dagger, and its use is similar to that of a werewolf boss encountered in Wonderland, raising its hand to aim and triggering a red lightning bolt for long-range attacks.

However, it has a certain amount of time to cool, and it takes about five seconds to recharge before it can release the next bolt of lightning.

Chen Lun named it "Sombra Wand".

'This extraordinary weapon is not small, and it can be sold to players as the 'Sombra series' boutique equipment......

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He then said to Floy:

"Then try adding this hedron to bullets and arrows, and maybe you'll be able to create a corresponding consumable...... In this way, the power of ranged weapons can be increased in disguise. ”

Floy nodded, mumbling.

After finishing his business, Chen Lun pulled her to sit on the sofa.

"Floy, you can go out and walk more often, don't stay in the manor all the time."

Floy shook her head slightly.

"I don't like going out, it's good here, I can do what I want, and I can wait for you to come back at any time."

Chen Lun was slightly stunned.

Speaking of which, unconsciously, I was a little accustomed to seeing Floy for the first time after returning to my residence, and heard her say "You are back".

Looking at Floy's delicate face, Chen Lun suddenly had a thought.

'When you are strong enough, you should restore her vision, and then take her to see the roads she has traveled and the scenery she has encountered in her previous life......

"Recently I had a dream."

Floy said.

"Dreams?"

"Hmm."

She nodded slightly.

"There was a voice in my dream, very kind, and talked to me a lot...... But when I woke up, I forgot most of it, and only vaguely remembered the phrase 'don't go forward'. ”
