Chapter 227: The Moon God and the King of Slaughter
[Complete the mission: Journey to the Negative Coffin!] γ
[Obtain mission rewards: 20,000 experience points, 50 gold pounds, Biles' favorability, and the transcendent knowledge of "Moon Faction Sequence 7 - Requiem".] γ
[Biles' favorability of you has increased! ] Present for respect! γ
Chen Lun flipped through the prompt box and smiled slightly.
'It's exactly what I expected, after completing the task, I now have more than 40,000 experience points, which is enough for me to reach the full level! β
He summoned the panel and pressed the upgrade button.
The golden light that was invisible to others flashed twice, and he finally came to level 80!
In addition to the attribute bonuses brought by the upgrade, Chen Lun also added the attribute points obtained to the deficiencies, and finally the strength and dexterity were 75 points, and the endurance intelligence was 65 points.
'Now I'm also a senior [Sequence 7], and I can't be promoted in rank, except for a few other means to increase my strength, there is only one way to continue to be promoted. β
Chen Lun turned off the panel, felt the changes in himself, and nodded slightly.
However, the extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 6 - Trapeze] is only a quarter of what he snatched from Molimer, and there are no relevant clues for the time being...... Maybe you can continue to start in Wonderland? I don't know if Philip left behind any follow-up transcendent knowledge. β
He pondered.
What made him feel a little relieved was that his current comprehensive strength was among the midstream transcendents in the middle sequence, and it could be regarded as a midstream level.
Although he is only a senior [Sequence 7], he can defeat most of [Sequence 6] after entering the "Extreme State", and as long as he does not encounter strong people like Jerome and Biles, he is sure to deal with it.
Theoretically speaking, Chen Lun's current basic attributes, strength and dexterity have exceeded the limit of [Sequence 7], that is, the threshold of 70 points, and 70 to 100 belong to the category of [Sequence 6].
After completing the Transcendental Transformation, it is more difficult to increase the stat points, which is completely different from the situation below the 50-point threshold for low sequences.
Of course, the effect will be stronger after lifting.
Therefore, Chen Lun's actual combat ability is not equal to the sequence he is in.
He is far beyond the level of [Sequence 7].
There's a lot to do next, but there are three main ones.
The first is to find a way to help Mr. Biles escape from capture, the second is to find the follow-up supernatural knowledge, and the third is to prepare for the chaos that is about to begin...... Whether it's developing a circus, using players' resources to grow themselves, or taking the initiative to find some channels to become stronger. β

Amber City Railway Station.
Chen Lun is finally back.
When he got out of the carriage, he was in a hurry, wanting to get back to the manor as soon as possible.
I haven't eaten Floy's own meal for a few days, and I always feel a little missed.
He smashed his mouth, and when he passed through the waiting hall, he suddenly found that there was a commotion in front of him, and there was a large circle of people around.
Chen Lun paused slightly, squeezed through the crowd and glanced at it, and was suddenly stunned.
It turned out that there was an old lady lying on the chair, her eyes closed, as if she were asleep, but in fact she was no longer breathing.
Looking at her outfit and face, Chen Lun recognized at a glance that this old man was the one he met at the grocery store a few days ago.
There was no one next to the old lady's seat, and the passengers were far away from her, not daring to approach, and others pointed and said unpleasant things.
Apparently it was the train station that met dead people and made them feel unlucky.
Chen Lun squeezed through the crowd, and under the surprised and disgusted eyes of others, he went straight to the old man and examined it slightly.
The old man's expression was very serene, and Chen Lun didn't see any man-made injuries from her body, most of them were as she said, she was old and dying.
'I've seen my loved ones, so I close my eyes with peace of mind...... It's a pity that I bought a train ticket for the return trip, but I waited for the end of my life. β
Chen Lun sighed secretly.
He also didn't want to see the body of an old man lying at the train station like this, allowing others to point fingers.
I remember that the old lady believed in the moonlight mother-in-law, and it happened that the moon path I also took in my previous life was fate...... Let's give her one last ride. β
Chen Lun looked at the old lady's corpse with calm eyes, then gently held her hand, and read the Bible of the Moon Church in his mouth.
The onlookers looked at each other, but there were a few believers from the Moon Church who silently made a prayer gesture.
A moment later.
Chen Lun stopped chanting.
At this time, the security guards and people in charge of the railway station arrived one after another, they dispersed the crowd, and then came to Chen Lun.
"Sir, what is your relationship with this old man?"
The person in charge frowned slightly.
"What would you do if it was okay?"
Chen Lun asked with a slight tilt of his head.
"That's the only way to leave it to the sheriff's office, and let her family claim it...... If it is a stranger who has no relatives and no reason, I am afraid that he will be thrown into a public cemetery and simply buried. β
The person in charge shrugged.
Chen Lun nodded lightly, mumbled, took out a few gold pounds and put them in the other party's hands.
"This old lady is a believer in Moonshine, so let's send her to the Moonlight Church first...... The priest over there will take care of everything. β
As he spoke, the shell necklace on his chest flickered slightly.
The eyes of the person in charge flashed a trace of dazedness, and then he regained his clarity, he put away the gold pound, and solemnly agreed.
Immediately after that, he directed the security guards to remove the old man's body and personally ran to inform the church.
Chen Lun stared at the spot for a while, then finally pulled the brim of his hat and took a step to leave.
But as soon as he walked out of the gate of the train station, his body suddenly stiffened.
[You are watched by Margaret, the god of the moon, and you are blessed with "Moonlight Blessing"!] γ
γMoonlight Blessing LV1 (Blessing)γ
Blessing Description: The blessing given to you by Margaret, the goddess of the moon, will keep you protected by the moonlight at all times.
Blessing Effect: Slightly increases the strength of various mystical resistances and souls, and all attributes +1. (Dark Night effect doubled)
'Luna?! Margaret......?! β
Chen Lun's eyes showed disbelief.
At the same time, I inexplicably obtained some information in my heart, including the honorific name of the moon god.
'Granny Moonlight, Lady Silence, and Miss Purple Moon...... These are all honorific titles that point to Margaret, the goddess of the moon? He...... Why are you telling me this? β
Chen Lun had great doubts.
He obviously didn't have any connection with the moon god, but why...... Wrong!
Chen Lun turned his head sharply and looked in the direction where the guards had transported the old lady's body away, but there was no one in sight.
'Is that the old man...... Or is it because of the Bible I recited ...... the Chronicle of the Moon? β
Chen Lun couldn't guess the answer.
But he always felt that it had something to do with the old lady.
Chen Lun looked around again and found that he was stuck in front of the gate of the train station in a daze, which had attracted the attention of passers-by, so he took a deep breath and continued to leave as if nothing had happened.
As he walked, he recalled his brief encounter with the old lady, who was just an ordinary mortal from beginning to end......
But when I think about it, I seem to have made up a non-existent grandmother, also named "Margaret".
It's a coincidence...... Still is? β
Chen Lun's brows were furrowed, and he only felt that his eyes were full of fog and he couldn't see the truth.
He remembered the photographs of the archaeological team he had seen in the old book in his hand when he first met Mr. Biles......
The statue of the Seven Gods more than 3,000 years ago, the one that belonged to the Moonlight Mother-in-law, was a young woman.
Maybe it's not the moon god who has changed...... Is it that they are just an appearance that belongs to the moon god, that is the appearance of the 'Silent Lady', or the ...... of the 'Miss Purple Moon'? β
Chen Lun thought to himself.
He felt that he had figured something out, and he was more in agreement with his own speculation.
Continuing to recall the words and deeds of the old lady in the grocery store at that time, Chen Lun had new doubts.
She said she had come to Amber to see her family...... Who would that be? β
Chen Lun was stunned.
'Is it me?!' The moon god can't really be my grandmother, right?! β
Thinking of this, he felt a little funny, and couldn't help but shake his head, feeling whimsical.
If he really wanted to be a descendant of the gods, the panel would have been shown a long time ago.
Whatever the reason, he has been blessed by the moon god, and at this stage he is well-intentioned...... And He took the initiative to tell me my honorable name, most likely to give me a way to pray to Him, maybe in times of great crisis, I can turn to Him for help? β
Chen Lun thought to himself, pulled the brim of his hat and lowered his head, and tentatively whispered a respectful name:
"You are the night of the highest, you are the great darkness......
You are the place where thousands of souls return, and you are the sigh of the condemnation and sleep......
You are the Silent and Sublime Grandmother of the Astral Plane, the Moonlight Margaret. β
The next moment.
Time and space seem to stand still.
Chen Lun suddenly felt a gaze, cast from the far side, staring at him, as if it was an illusion.
But he knew it was never a delusion......
The moon god really saw him!
A gentle and kind, but beautiful female voice seemed to have not spoken, and passed in his heart out of thin air:
"Advance to the high sequence as soon as possible and jump out of the circle of fate."
Chen Lun suddenly came back to his senses, and everything returned to the status quo.
He found himself unconsciously back in front of the manor.
The two servants at the door saluted him respectfully and said to the chief.
Chen Lun waved his hand simply, didn't have the heart to respond at all, and walked in by himself.
'I really received an oracle from the moon god......
He suddenly felt that his identity might not be simple, and even the moon god reminded him that there must be a great secret hidden behind it.
Somewhat dull walked to the door of the villa.
Floy stood by the door, as always, and waited.
"You're back."
She spoke softly.
Chen Lun smiled, and after seeing Floy, his mood was slightly better.
"Hmm."
Floy followed him into the living room.
"The work you gave me before, it has already borne fruit, and the Sombra bullets and Sombra arrows have been made...... Do you want to take a look? β
She spoke softly.
"Not for now, thank you, Floy."
Chen Lun took a deep breath silently and said with a smile.
"I came back in a hurry this time, I forgot to bring you a present, sorry."
He said.
Floy shook her head.
"I haven't finished the three boxes of chocolates you bought me last time."
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
"I see, you ......"
His smile froze suddenly, as if he had thought of something.
"You mean three boxes?"
"Well, didn't you put another box in my drawer later?"
Floy's little head tilted slightly, and she wondered.
"You found out...... Floy. β
Chen Lun chuckled.
But a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
'Could it be that the relatives are referring to Floy......!!' β

A few days passed.
After Chen Lun returned to the estate, he quietly waited for Mr. Biles's arraignment while making extraordinary wines.
The round-up of the Black Knight by several supernatural forces is about to begin, and he is also thinking about countermeasures.
'It would not be enough for me alone...... However, the strength of the circus members has not yet grown, and it is not appropriate to rush into this matter. β
Chen Lun was busy working in the underground brewing room, his hands were constantly moving, but his mind was racing.
And even if I do it myself, I can't directly reveal my identity...... When the time comes, use the [Star Mist Pot] to disguise it, and use the vest of the Silver Pot Knight Fren. β
He smiled.
Removing the glass container with both hands, the wine inside had finished fermenting.
Chen Lun skillfully poured it into the bottle and sealed it.
Immediately after, he directly took out the black iron box, placed it on the table, and opened the lid.
Syllable!
Inside the black iron box, it was pitch black, as if it was like a giant mouth, linking to an abyss with no end in sight.
"After consuming the only ordinary grade transcendent materials left on hand, and brewing three supernatural wines, it should be possible to exchange the 'murder club' for the shots of the three mid-sequence transcendents."
Chen Lun gently put the wine bottle into the black iron box.
This box is a trick created by the Murder Club and is dedicated to dropping "fine wine".
The bottom of the box was pitch black, the shadows were drowsy, and the bottle slowly sank as if it had fallen into a swamp, and finally disappeared.
Chen Lun stuffed the other two wine bottles into them in turn.
He immediately took out the wine glass that summoned the Spiritual Messenger of the Murder Club and flicked it lightly.
While!
Voices echoed in the basement.
He took out a pen and paper, stood on the edge of the table and began to write, which was very concise:
"Three Exceptional Wines have been delivered in exchange for murder, Target - Member of Team 7 Red Rose."
Team 7 Red Rose is the Transcendent Team led by Jerome.
Chen Lun has not forgotten the foreshadowing of divination, in addition to the Church of the Sun, the Church of the Moon and the Asylum Shelter, there is also Jerome who is secretly thinking about dealing with Mr. Biles.
For the time being, he still doesn't know who the elite transcendents who will come to participate in the round-up will be, so he has to target this group of hidden enemies first, and come to a wave of "precision buying".
It's definitely not revenge.
The reason why Jerome was not chosen as a target was because Chen Lun felt that it was unrealistic.
The quality of these three extraordinary wines, as the brewer himself, could not be clearer, although they were good, but they were far from being able to kill Jerome.
The professional connoisseurs of the Murder Club will definitely give the same answer, so a maximum of three senior [Sequence 7] will be dispatched.
'If only we could weaken the power of the Red Apple Church as much as possible......
Chen Lun thought to himself, and took out the most precious wine he had on hand, [Mirna Blood Wine], he hesitated, but finally resolutely put it into the box.
It wasn't until the bottle was completely engulfed that he continued to write on the paper:
"A high-class transcendent wine has been delivered in exchange for murder, the target - Jerome the 'Bone Eagle' of the Red Apple Church!"
Chen Lun's eyes were indifferent, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
From planning the [Winemaker] sub-profession to joining the murder club, he did it for this purpose.
When you encounter an enemy you can't kill, and you're still thinking about it all the time, then shake people!
Jerome is not only the strong man lurking in the dark in this round-up operation of Biles, but also the right-hand man of Rafa's cub species, and the boss-level character in the middle and late stages of version 1.0.
It would be easy to get rid of this guy earlier.
Jingling!
A clinking of glasses rang out.
Chen Lun thought that the spiritual messenger had arrived, and was about to hand over the written letter, but he was suddenly stunned.
"The wine is good, I want it."
There was a chuckle, and the familiar male voice rang out from afar.
Chen Lun froze in place, looked around, and there was no one.
'The voice just now...... Is it Conrad, the conspiratorial angel?! β
He suddenly felt that things were a little ridiculous, how did he attract the King of Killing when he delivered wine for the first time?!
Conrad took his wine, which meant he would have killed Jerome himself!
Chen Lun first took a deep breath, and then a burst of excitement arose.
Jerome...... Dead!
Although the Mirna Blood Wine is precious, it should not attract His attention...... As the angel at the end of the sequence, why would Conrad be interested in this bottle of wine? β
Chen Lun thought about it calmly again.
He first ruled out any peculiarities in himself, and then thought of an answer.
'Mostly because the raw material of this bottle is related to Maggie......
Only things that are also angels, the King of Killing will be interested, Chen Lun can't think of any other reason.
Jingling!
This time, the sound of clinking glasses sounded in Chen Lun's ears.
The true spiritual messenger has come.
It was a man who looked like a waiter, his face was clouded, and his face was invisible. He stood straight with a towel in one hand, a tray in the other, and an empty wine glass in the other.
It was him and Chen Lun's empty wine glasses that collided just now.
"What is the need, sir?"
The waiter bowed slightly.
Chen Lun crossed out the information about Jerome on the paper, and then left his other pseudonym "Qiao Ke", and then put the paper on the other party's tray.
In addition to this, he also took out a letter that had been written a long time ago and put it on it.
"Please forward this letter to Mr. Akbin."
Chen Lun said softly.
"Okay, don't worry."
The Faceless Waiter replied.
Chen Lun nodded, took out two more gold lists, and put them on the tray.
"Thank you, sir."
The waiter saluted, stepped back, and disappeared in front of him.
Chen Lun leaned his back against the edge of the workbench and thought with his cheeks on his back.
'There shouldn't be any problems with the Red Apple Church...... As for the unclear situation of the Church of the Sun, the Church of the Moon, and the Asylum Church, let's call Akbin and Drinker first...... When the time comes, it will be done depending on the situation. β
He hadn't forgotten that Akbin owed him a favor, and Drinker owed him his life.
If there are ready-made thugs to put and not use, then it is a fool.
