Chapter 212: Floy's True Identity (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Chen Lun followed Siebert to the office.
The layout and décor of the rooms here were completely different from what he had seen before, and Siebert seemed to prefer a free-spirited style, so much so that the walls were plastered with various shades of wallpaper, making it look less like a boss's room and more like an artist's studio.
Siebert put the wine glass on the boss's table, and immediately took out the red wine from the retro freezer enthusiastically, and was about to pour Chen Lun a glass as well.
"Mr. Siebert, no need...... I don't like to drink. ”
Chen Lun said with a smile.
The other party was stunned for a moment, shrugged helplessly, and said okay, only filling his wine glass.
"Mr. Jack, you really don't know how to enjoy it, I have treasured this good wine for many years."
Siebert thought in pieces, took a sip of his own, and then took out a cardboard box from under the table, opened the lid of the paper, and pulled out a fist-sized sculpture.
It was a sculpture in the shape of an orchid, unpainted, and looked gray.
"Here's it, that's all there is to it...... Nothing else special. ”
Siebert was a little curious.
"What are you looking for Mr. Charles's relics?"
Chen Lun smiled and didn't answer, he didn't bother to make up some lies to deceive, so he directly used [Siren Song] to perform a simple hypnotis on Siebert, so that the other party would divert his attention and no longer be curious about this question.
As the glimmer of the shell necklace flashed, Siebert suddenly raised his eyebrows, and immediately chatted with Chen Lun about other topics, such as interesting stories in the aristocratic circle, the lady fell in love with the manmaid, and the young lady eloped with the actor in the drama theater.
Chen Lun chatted with Siebert for a while, and saw that he was drunk and seemed tired, so he said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, Siebert also hoped that Chen Lun would come to the club often to play in his free time, and he admired Chen Lun's swordsmanship very much.
Chen Lun said politely and nodded in agreement.
At last Siebert fell asleep on the couch, still muttering:
"Damn Pompeii...... You're wrong......"
Chen Lun was a little surprised, he didn't expect Siebert to know Viscount Pompey, but he was not curious about the relationship between the two, shook his head and turned to leave.

Back to Jack's Manor.
Unlike Chen Lun's expectations, Floy did not rest upstairs, but stood quietly at the door of the villa.
She is like a doll that can't move, silently waiting for Chen Lun to go home.
"You're back."
A smile appeared on Floy's face.
"Don't worry, I'm fine......"
Chen Lun comforted.
"Go and talk to the others, lest they worry about me."
Floy hummed, nodded, and turned to leave.
Chen Lun didn't follow in, turned around and walked into the backyard, sat on the swing, and took out the orchid statue. When he touched it in his office, he had already decided it was what he was looking for.
【Token - Orchid Image】
Item description: A token left behind by the Black Knight Byers, which can only be activated by a specific method, and the holder will be guided to a secret place in the spirit world.
'Why did Byers know I was going to pick up this relic ......?' ’
Chen Lun pondered for a moment and thought of the most likely answer.
No, he doesn't know...... It should be said that he didn't care, he just left a token, and the choice was given to me. ’
This means that the initiative is in Chen Lun's hands, and it is up to him to decide whether to contact Biles further or not.
Chen Lun played with the statue for a moment, and finally tried to cover it with extraordinary power.
But the statue did not react.
He pondered for a moment, then stretched out another finger and used it as a sword, gathering the energy of the Moonlight Sword. This technique was not difficult for Chen Lun, after all, the [Biles Moonlight Sword] had already been upgraded to the full level.
But ordinary people don't dare to do this, because there is a high chance that the fingers will not be able to withstand the force and collapse. It's just that his fingers were covered with a layer of Didak armor in advance, unscathed under the lilac distorted light.
Fingers gently approached the statue, and the orchid suddenly seemed to come to life, dyed purple, and swayed slightly.
Rumble!
Chen Lun was engulfed by a blinding flash of light activated by the orchid, and the courtyard swing was empty, swaying lonely and crunching.
The next second.
When Chen Lun opened his eyes again, he found that he was already in the spirit realm, and his surroundings were blurred, and the light blue vision was slightly wriggling.
It appears to be a cemetery, with countless tombstones planted in the ground, and at the top of each tombstone, there are also a number of different small objects, such as miniature swords, helmets, horses, and metal ornaments such as the waning moon.
This place is obviously different from the present world, and it is also different from the rest of the spirit world.
In the darkness of the night, there is a full moon of lilac.
Under the moon was the highest hill in the cemetery, where a tombstone taller than the door panel stood, and a knight in a wolf helmet and tattered black armor sat under the tombstone.
He also had a long black sword in his arms.
"You've got it anyway, Jack."
A low laugh came from the Black Knight's helmet.
Chen Lun walked up to him.
"Mr. Biles, are you leaving Amber City?"
"Hmm."
The Black Knight bowed his head.
"The roundup is going to start again soon, and I need to concentrate on ......"
He paused for a few seconds, then continued:
"Are you sure you want to be a part of this? You know, I'm the Empire's Most Wanted Criminal...... This trip to muddy waters is likely to stain you with mud too. ”
Chen Lun's face was as usual, and he knew the pros and cons of this matter very well.
He clearly knew the identity of the black knight, and he also knew that the other party's strength was strong, and he approached the other party with the intention of "hugging his thighs" from the beginning. But later, with the relationship, the relationship was closer, and even learned swordsmanship from the black knight.
The relationship between the two can be said to be both teachers and friends.
But what really prompted Chen Lun to choose to help the other party was the general trend of the future!
The turmoil in the empire begins, the Red Apple Church will be raging, and Chen Lun needs more strength to better survive in this troubled prelude...... At the same time, the companions of the circus also need more time to grow.
The Black Knight is a very good candidate, who can help himself at a certain time and "escort" the team.
As for the drawbacks, of course, they will offend the church and even be wanted...... But these, in the future situation, are nothing.
Because Chen Lun knows very well that from version 1.0 of the main plot, the contradictions that have accumulated in the empire for thousands of years will gradually erupt, the rule will be unstable, and the Sun Church and the shelter will have too many places to distract and have no time to take care of anything else.
"Mr. Biles, I would like to ask you a question."
Chen Lun leaned against a tombstone next to him, turned his head to look at the black knight and said.
"Huh? You say. ”
The Black Knight has a good opinion of him and seems to be very patient.
"You...... What exactly does it have to do with Floy? ”
Chen Lun asked a question that had been pressed in his heart for a long time.
This question arose from the first time he came into contact with the Black Knight, and the original divination and the words of the other party made Chen Lun associate Floy with the Wolf family.
She ...... He is the last descendant of the wolf family. ”
The Black Knight was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"The roots of the Wolf family are extremely deep...... It can even go back to the previous era. ”
Chen Lun's eyes froze, he didn't expect Floy to have such a background.
In his previous life, as a plot party, he certainly had studied world history. As far as he knew, the current era should belong to the Fifth Age, also known as the Solar Age, or the Ordered Age.
Because the opening of the Fifth Age was precisely because of the establishment of the largest empire on the continent, the Trisur Empire. With the submission of the three major subsidiary kingdoms, the Sun Continent was relatively unified.
The year 4419 of the solar calendar also means that the Fifth Age has gone through more than 4,000 years.
The last era, the Fourth Age, is known as the "Lost Age" because most of the records of that era have been lost and cannot be studied.
As for the earlier history, Chen Lun did not find any valuable information in his previous life, most of them were fairy tales, and legends of unknown truth and falsehood, as if there was an invisible big hand, deliberately covering the dust of the past.
"At the end of the Fourth Age, there was only one civilization in human beings, called 'Yanita', and the continent at that time was not called the Sun Continent, but the 'Yanita Continent'.
But then, for some unknown reason, the Yanita civilization began to decline...... Even the largest ruling class of the time was infighting, eventually splitting into three power families: Trasur, Matthew, and Silber. ”
The Black Knight told Chen Lun about the history of the past.
"The roots of our Wolf family are the Matthew family...... But as time passed, the Matthew family has long been submerged in the long river of history, leaving only dozens or hundreds of different descendant groups, and the wolf family is one of them. ”
The Black Knight shook his head.
"It seems to be a curse left behind, and the people of the wolf family often don't live long...... So much so that in the past 100 years, it has completely declined, and is even on the verge of disappearing.
I originally thought that I was the last remaining descendant of the family, but more than half a year ago, I suddenly felt a mysterious connection in the blood...... I followed the guide and found Amber City, and I made an exciting discovery! ”
He raised his head, and there was a shadow under the wolf helmet, and his invisible eyes were staring directly at Chen Lun.
"That girl next to you has the blood of the wolf family in her body, and her real name should be 'Floy Wolfe'! Besides me, the last descendant of the wolf family!
And on her, there is also the breath of an ancestor...... If I'm not mistaken, the original body of that strange thing should be the family's former sage, Athena Wolfe. ”
Chen Lun's eyes flashed with surprise, he didn't expect that there was such a truth hidden in it.
The fake identity that she once made up for Floy turned out to be her real name, and she should indeed be a declining aristocratic lady?!
Is this also the guidance of fate...... ’
He was stunned.
It's no wonder that the [Back Sun Bonsai] will establish a deep bond with Floy, it turns out that it was originally incarnated by the Sage of the Wolf Family after his death! ’
It can be seen that the poor family where Floy lived as a child was not her original family.
"By seniority, Floy should call me uncle."
The wolf knight's hoarse voice smiled.
