Please be seated."

Chen Lun stretched out his hand to signal.

Akbin nodded and sat down on a wooden chair.

Fry, the Councillor of the Golden Cup, bowed with a playful salute, leaving only two people in the tent.

"I haven't had time to thank you before, but Maggie has been learning from you for a while, and she has made rapid progress, and now she is almost in Sequence 6......

Chen Lun poured a cup of tea for Akbin and raised his glass.

Akbin thanked him, took a sip of his teacup, and shook his head.

"You're welcome, after all, there are too few people trekking along the natural branching path, and there is no experience left by predecessors to learn from, and I also need a inheritor like Maggie to corroborate each other......

He put down his teacup and looked up.

"After the ceremony, I was promoted to [Sequence 5 - Plague Master] and became the Councilor of the Golden Cup under the command of the Archon of Mulunga...... Unexpectedly, there has been a recent turmoil, and not only has the club won the seat of the Orthodox Church, but you have also entered the Senate as the consul of the tenth seat."

Akbin touched his chest with his right hand and bowed his head slightly.

"That's why I'm here, Archon Jack."

"Thank you."

Chen Lun heard the other party's subtext.

It was precisely because of his past friendship that Akbin voluntarily applied from the Archon of Mulunga and was transferred to his command to come to help.

With the powerful "poison doctor" of Akbin, it will be of great help in the next battle, and the [Plague Master] has a large range of output capabilities, which can effectively clean up a large number of fallen believers and low-level clerics.

Chen Lun accepted Akbin's affection, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

It's all in plain sight.

"How's the situation going over there in the Gem State?"

Chen Lun asked out loud.

Archon Mulenga is in charge of the "Jewel State III" war zone, and as his former subordinate, Akbin should have more detailed information.

"Everything was going well, but recently it hasn't been optimistic."

Akbin said in a deep voice.

"The Red Apple Church's counterattack was fierce, and the moving 'Bastion of Abomination' caused us a great hindrance, and the councillors suffered heavy casualties...... 'The Scarlet Abbey, one of the new Ten Cores, Rafa, launched an attack the night before yesterday, killing four Golden Cup Councilors on the side of the Archon Bindu, and the fall of a dozen cities that had been cleared."

When Chen Lun heard the news, he fell into deep thought.

'Rafa also entered the Scarlet Monastery ahead of schedule, and has it started to exert its strength as an important boss in version 1.0...... In addition, it seems that I need to hurry up and present the information about the Bastion of Abomination to the Speaker and the Senate. ，

At this point, Akbin continued:

"Because of Rafa's frequent movements, His Majesty Terrence, who is in charge of the Gem State Fossil City, decided to deal with him personally...... But something unexpected happened along the way."

He glanced up at Chen Lun.

"'The Sword of Ferry, Byers suddenly descended, came to seek revenge, and fought fiercely outside the Fossil City with Terrence Crown...... The two Sages both used their bodies to fight from the shallow level of the Spirit Realm to the second layer, and then to the Dark World, and the battle between the two sides lasted for a day and a night."

"Huh?!"

Chen Lun's expression changed slightly.

He wasn't surprised that Mr. Biles would make a move at this moment, but he cared about the final result.

Akbin is not humorous either, and he didn't make a joke at this time, and he immediately told Chen Lun:

"Terrence has returned with a minor injury, but he is unable to deal with Rafa for the time being, so the situation on the Gem State's side is getting more and more serious...... Biles Wolff, on the other hand, fled with serious injuries and disappeared for the time being."

As he spoke, he silently observed Chen Lun's expression.

At this stage, almost all the high-level forces of all parties know the information that "Pale Knight Jack" is "Joco, the Knight of Spades", and he once teamed up with Biles to kill the incarnation of Terrence

It can also be seen that the relationship between the two should not be simple.

The reason why Akbin said this news was also to convey the recent situation of Biles to Chen Lun in disguise.

"I see."

Chen Lun's expression didn't change much, he just nodded in understanding.

"Akbin, I'm going to trouble you to go to Floy's detachment and follow them...... Maggie is there too, and if you can, I'll give her some pointers."

"No problem, Archon Jack."

Akbin slowly got up, saluted Chen Lun, and left.

When the curtain of the tent fell, only Chen Lun was left here.

He let out a long sigh.

'I hope Mr. Biles is all right......

Chen Lun first took out a pen and paper, and spent half an hour recording all the information he knew about the "Abomination Fortress", and then compiled it into a book and checked it.

After confirming that everything was correct, he summoned the faceless waiter with the golden cup token and handed it the booklet.

"This is a classified document of the highest rank, and it must be sent to Elder Azgilro."

Chen Lun said solemnly to the waiter.

The latter was slightly stunned, and then bent down respectfully.

"Yes! Lord Archon Jack!"

Chen Lun thought about it and raised his hand to signal.

"Wait a minute."

He then flew out a card and weaved through the gap in the tent curtain.

After a while, Frey, the member of the Golden Cup, walked in.

"Lord Jack, what are your orders?"

"You are responsible for escorting this confidential document and accompanying the courier back to council headquarters."

Chen Lun said to Frey.

The latter didn't ask much, but just said solemnly:

"Yes, Lord Archon."

"Well, let's go, go back quickly."

Chen Lun nodded.

Immediately afterward, Frey and the Faceless Acolyte escaped into the spirit realm and disappeared without a trace.

Chen Lun sat in his chair and pondered for a moment.

Eventually, out of concern, he silently recited Mr. Biles' name in his heart.

'The guardian knight of the night, the sword of the ferry, the fearless one who challenges the sun...... Mr. Bierswolfe, Jack is praying to you, asking you to respond. ，

Half a day.

Chen Lun frowned.

Because there was no reply.

It seems that the problem is a bit bigger...... Either Mr. Biles is in a bad situation, or something is going on that he can't get out of. ，

Chen Lun thought about it, took out Mr. Byers's token "Orchid Statue", and then activated it, and entered a secret space in the spirit world through guidance.

Darkness strikes.

The purple moon is in the sky.

He reappeared in the cemetery.

This is Mr. Biles' independent residence, and under normal circumstances, Chen Lun can find him here. But this time was different, and he found that the cemetery was empty.

Chen Lun walked to the center of the cemetery with a solemn face, and found a letter under the huge stone tablet. Under the envelope, there was also a codex wrapped in cowhide.

He bent down to pick it up and opened the letter.

It was a letter that Mr. Byers had left for him, as if anticipating his coming.

"—Jack, I've been exploring the dark world alone for months, and I've basically mastered the power of the Sage...... And this time, due to the intensification of the Red Plague, Terrence had to use his right body to make a move, and this opportunity was rare, and I couldn't miss it...... If I don't come back, please take care of Floy, the last of the Wolf family."

At the end of the letter, Biles also said that he had written a codex of what he had seen and heard during his trip to the dark world in the past few months, and that he might be able to help him a little in the future.

Chen Lun put down the letter, opened the codex and looked at it casually.

In addition to the information about the polluted creatures and geography of the Dark World, there is also an important discovery of Mr. Biles, which is that leaving a special place in the Dark World will lead to another corner of the world, that is, the underground of the Sun Continent.

It was bleak, like a cave in all directions.

"Dark World" is another name for the third level of the spirit world, and the present world connected to it is the underground of the continent? Beneath the feet of the Trisur Empire, there is another world!

Mr. Biles also stated in the Codex that he had found traces of human life there.

This news shocked Chen Lun.

Because even in his previous life, he didn't know this information.

Maybe it's because the version of the experience is only in the middle of 2.0, and the map hasn't been opened there yet, or maybe it's some hidden big plot that no one knows...... In short, Chen Lun faintly felt that this matter was not simple.

He didn't have time to read the Codex for a while, so he put it away and left the Spirit Cemetery.

Returning to the present world, Chen Lun tried to divinate Mr. Biles's life status and direction, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

This was also expected by him, after all, Mr. Byers was already [Sequence 4 - Ferryman], belonging to the high position, and his weight was not enough to detect him.

But Chen Lun did not give up, he immediately went to the fairyland, sat in the wooden house on the top of the ivory tower of the Crystal Mountain Range, and divined again.

This time, with the "power blessing" and "shielding interference" of Fairyland, he got a vague foreshadowing - Mr. Biles's situation is very bad, and he is in danger!

Chen Lun's brows furrowed.

Mr. Byers is not only his high-ranking helper, but like Philip, he is also a teacher and friend, and he is the only surviving blood relative of Floy, and he wants to help him, but he can't do it.

Because the divination only gave a general idea of Mr. Biles's condition, but still could not obtain a specific direction. This made Chen Lun even more convinced that the other party was trapped by something, or that the area he was in was relatively special and could not be detected.

'Let's try again later......

Chen Lun had no choice but to leave the fairyland first, intending to probe Mr. Biles every few hours.

The bloody battle is not over, and there are even more difficult battles to come.

He had no choice but to take his men and players for a day of rest before continuing his operations.

But during this time, the repeated divination still did not yield, and fortunately, although Mr. Biles was dying, he had not yet fallen...... This made Chen Lun feel dull and secretly relieved at the same time.

This afternoon.

Chen Lun's team had advanced to the second main city of the "Yanbang No. 2" war zone, Rongshan City.

Looking at the center of the urban agglomeration in the distance, a huge red castle like a small hill, Chen Lun's eyes narrowed, and he whispered:

"Bastion ...... of Abomination"
