Chapter 213: Chocolate (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Chen Lun looked at the black knight in front of him and thought quietly.
The other party is related to Floy, and she is also her only relative in this world.
"You can see that she cares about you."
Byers chuckled.
"It was a lot of emotion, I could feel it...... The clansmen of the wolf family have an almost crazy attachment to love. ”
He paused.
"I'm very optimistic about you, Jack, you have a very peculiar quality in you, which is a kind of bottom line in the depths of human nature, and this quality is very valuable.
And you're making rapid progress, and I'm blown away by that talent...... Every step forward in the occult realm requires a tremendous amount of effort, and you ......"
The Black Knight shook his head.
"Incredible."
He slowly stood up, leaning against the tombstone, his hands on the hilt of his sword.
"Jack, what else do you want to ask?"
"Mr. Biles, why don't you see Floy?"
Chen Lun spoke.
The black knight was silent for a moment, and only said one word:
"It's not time yet."
The two looked at each other speechlessly, Chen Lun pulled the brim of his hat and came to the black knight.
"I have no more questions, Mr. Biles, what do you need me to do next?"
"Why don't you ask me why I'm being hunted down by the church and the asylum? If I do something heinous, will you help me? ”
The Black Knight turned to look at him with interest.
"Yes."
Chen Lun smiled.
"Why?"
The Black Knight asked.
"Because you're Floy's only relative."
He said it naturally.
The Black Knight was slightly stunned, then chuckled a few times.
"Actually, the inside story of my being hunted down is ridiculous, huh...... I'll tell you next time, I'm running out of time.
Next, I need you to help me deliver an item, which is in Sunflower City, the main city of the Flower State, and after getting it, I will secretly send it to a ruin on the outskirts of Amber City in the Jewel State. ”
"What's that?"
Chen Lun asked.
The Black Knight handed over a stone coin with some motifs engraved on it, which was an item that recorded the current anchor point of Sunflower City.
After Chen Lun took it, the black knight spit out two words:
"Coffin."
He added:
"I can't hold my body anymore, and in that coffin in Sunflower City is my own body...... Remember, when traveling between the two cities, don't travel directly from the Spirit Realm, there will be an ambush of the Spirit Realm at the edge of the city. ”
[Trigger B-rank Mission: Journey to the Negative Coffin!] 】
Description: You have gained the trust of the Black Knight Byers, who has informed you of the location of his Avatar, hoping that you will take it from Sunflower City to a designated location on the outskirts of Amber City.
Rewards: 20,000 XP, 50 Gold Pounds, Byers' Favorability, and [Moon Faction Sequence 7 - Requiem] Extraordinary Knowledge.
"I see, Mr. Biles."
Chen Lun took the task and nodded in understanding.
The Black Knight replied with some weariness, and then sat down against the huge tombstone.
He held his sword and kept his head down, wondering if he had fallen asleep.

When Chen Lun returned to the present world, he found that he was not in Jack's Manor, but in a suburb of Amber City.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to conjure his wings and flapped back towards the city.
Fortunately, the speed of [Colorful Wings] is very fast, more than twice as fast as the previous [Crow Feather], and when the body flies high, it can even produce a slight scream.
He soon came to a stop near the city gate, and then entered with a large number of pedestrians.
I don't know if the problem of the plague is getting worse and worse, there are a lot of guards at the city gate who are responsible for checking, and most of the low-level residents who originally lived outside the city are gone.
Maybe he left under the pressure of survival, or he died because of the plague disease and disappeared into the world.
Chen Lun sighed secretly and entered the city.
He improvised a horse-drawn cab for forty copper croes to take him back to Jack's Manor in the inner city.
More than an hour later.
When passing through a commercial street, Chen Lun suddenly remembered something.
I have a lot of hometown dishes I want to eat, but I lack special seasonings, Floy is "difficult to cook without rice", and Connie has never bought them.
I remember there was a grocery store here, which was an affiliate of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and they had a wide range of roads, so they should be able to buy something similar to soy sauce in it...... It would be nice if there were spices like cinnamon and star anise. ’
Chen Lun couldn't help but sigh that without these, the dishes would always lack charm.
He stopped the carriage and stepped down on his own.
With a casual glance, Chen Lun quickly determined his goal. Not far from the front left, there is a storefront called "Vanodi Grocery Store", and on one side of the plaque, a small silver dragon head is engraved.
He walked straight inside.
The grocery store was huge, equivalent to a supermarket, but Chen Lun walked past several shelves and didn't find the condiments he wanted.
In desperation, with the mentality of "not being able to fight the Air Force", he planned to buy some gifts by the way and bring them back to Floy.
Chen Lun found the shelves where the candy and chocolates were placed and selected two boxes of dark chocolate.
This chocolate has zero sugar content, and Floy would love it. ’
He smiled softly and thought to himself.
Chen Lun was about to leave, but found an old lady next to him, who was looking at a row of chocolates hesitantly.
"It's too expensive......"
The old lady whispered.
Chen Lun subconsciously glanced at the price tag, ordinary chocolate is almost 2 silver jue a box, and this dark chocolate in his hand is more expensive, 7 silver jue 35 copper crowe.
He shook his head slightly, this is indeed not something that the people at the bottom can afford, but this is in the inner city, and the average resident should be able to accept it.
"You're a foreigner?"
Chen Lun asked casually.
The old lady seemed to notice that there was a tall and handsome young man standing beside her, who first looked up with a surprised expression, then smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on her cheeks were squeezed into slits.
"Hmm...... I came to see my loved ones and wanted to buy some gifts. ”
She was dressed in black, simple but clean, and at the junction of her gang and white hair, there was a purple chrysanthemum that could be seen everywhere.
He doesn't look rich.
Chen Lun looked at the old lady, and out of kindness, took a few boxes of beautifully packaged chocolates in his hand, and gestured:
"I'll pay for that."
"Oh, it's too expensive, I don't want to ......"
The old lady looked surprised and waved her hand again and again.
Chen Lun showed a signature smile and did not insist, but suddenly asked:
"Ma'am, very presumptuous, can you tell me your age?"
The old lady had an easy-going personality and did not get angry, but whispered:
"I'm 81 years old, and I'm not far from death."
Chen Lun shook his head with emotion.
"I can't see it at all, and if you don't say it, I thought you were 18 years old."
The old lady couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
Chen Lun continued:
"Your smile is so beautiful and it touches my mood today, and I think it's totally worth a gift."
He handed the box of chocolates he was holding in his hand to the old lady again.
The other party was slightly stunned, and finally said:
"You are a kind young man, thank you."
After taking a few boxes of chocolates, she put most of them back on the shelves, leaving only a box of sugar-free dark chocolate, the same one that Chen Lun bought for Floy.
After the checkout is completed.
The old lady stopped Chen Lun, who was about to leave, at the door of the grocery store, she took the initiative to hug Chen Lun, and then said:
"Young man, may the moonlight bless you...... Although the city is bustling, there are too few kind people. ”
Chen Lun chuckled and said casually:
"You remind me of my grandmother, you are very kind, and I wish you good health and a safe journey."
The old lady looked very touched and asked:
"Please tell me your grandmother's name, and I will pray to her every Sunday of the moon god in the future to pray for your grandmother's blessing."
Where did Chen Lun come from in this world, he had to casually talk about a name:
"Her name is Margaret."

Night.
Floy received a gift from Chen Lun.
She happily unwrapped the paper package and sniffed at the dark chocolate with some curiosity.
"What is this?"
"Chocolate."
Chen Lun explained.
Floy never seemed to have eaten chocolate and seemed to be looking forward to it.
She opened her mouth slightly, took a bite into the corner of the lumpy chocolate.
Click.
Chen Lun looked at her quietly, his fair cheeks bulging slightly, as if he was slowly tasting it in his mouth.
"It's delicious, I love it."
Floy smiled.
"Don't you feel bitter?"
Chen Lun asked.
Floy shook her head, then nodded a little embarrassedly.
"Well, a little."
Chen Lun couldn't help but chuckle a few times, feeling that Floy was a little inexplicably cute.
"Chocolate is supposed to be sweet, but you don't seem to like sweets, so the one I bought you is sugar-free."
Floy nodded understandingly.
"I like that."
"If you like it...... I'll bring you some back next time. ”
Chen Lun said.
Floy carefully put the uneaten chocolate back into the foil wrapper, and then put away the two boxes of chocolates.
After the two separated, Chen Lun returned to his room.
He briefly thought about his next move, and decided to do something else on the way to Sunflower City.
'Before the chaos begins, it's best to remove the hidden dangers around Amber City......
Chen Lun took out the high-grade token of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce and flicked the silver coin lightly.
With the rapid rotation of the central area of the silver coin, the invisible sound wave was transmitted to the spirit world, and soon, a dark blue crack appeared, and then a pig's head drilled out from under Chen Lun's feet.
Chen Lun looked at this cheating doll who changed her skin every time, twitched the corners of his mouth, and then used [Beast Language] to communicate with him and explained one thing to it.
He asked the trickster doll to help him buy a copy of the information about the Red Apple Church branches around Amber City at this stage.
The pig's head showed a clear expression, nodded innocently, and drilled back again.
Chen Lun sat on the chair, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest, his eyes showing thought.
After all this time, players should have thrived a lot, and it's time to put out the new circus products and give them a new gear...... By the way, take them to the first wave of Red Apple Church, and let them get used to the rhythm of future versions in advance. ’
He was happy with the plan.
'Where can I find such a responsible guide...... It's too great, it's too different. ’

The next evening.
Floy awoke from her sleep.
After she got up and washed up in the bathroom, she walked to the table with some anticipation, opened the drawer, and took out the chocolates that Chen Lun bought for her last night.
But what made her a little puzzled was that there was an inexplicable extra box of the original two boxes.
Floy was stunned for a few seconds, and then her heart warmed.
She thought that she must have learned that she liked it, so Chen Lun bought another box and secretly put it in her drawer.
