Chapter 384: Jack's aftershocks
Rafa's voice faded away......

A series of panel prompts popped up, making Chen Lun dizzy.
At the same time, the surrounding scene also changes.
The dozens of stone pillars and connected iron chains around the edge slowly sank into the ground, indicating that Rafa had fallen, fulfilling the rules of the "Ring of Sins" and lifting the blockade.
Chen Lun sat weakly on the ground, rubbing his temples.
'Synergistically killed...... It seems that it was the blow in the form of the 'Blue Serpent' that made Rafa's body partially lignified and settled into the damage contribution, although it wasn't me who killed it, but Speaker Azgilro was considered an ally, so I also got a share of the kill reward. β
He let out a sigh.
Although the main force is Speaker Azgirro, he is just a bait and delay, a proper tool...... But finally got rid of a great enemy!
The final boss of version 1.0 was designed by himself before its highlight moment arrived, which is somewhat a happy thing.
Chen Lun checked the panel prompt box again, and noticed that many big names appeared in the favor prompt, which surprised him.
'The prying eyes that I vaguely felt before turned out to be coming from the royal city......
It quickly occurred to him that this was most likely the Speaker's important information about the "Crimson Festival" after he conveyed it to the upper echelons of the Empire, who happened to be looking at it just now.
'This wave is an extra gain, but the favorability of the big guys is not easy to get...... When I have the opportunity to go to the royal city in the future, many things will be easier to do. β
A smile appeared on Chen Lun's face.
He looked at the gray-robed black-haired man who was slowly approaching, and stood up with difficulty and saluted him.
At the same time, I recalled the scene just now, and from the turquoise retro carved glass window, the huge hand stretched out...... He vaguely remembered that after drinking the mythical wine "Red Invitation", he went to the kingdom of the Killing King, and saw his hands with his own eyes, also wearing white gloves......
Is it the crown of the King of Slaughter...... The Speaker's strength is really unfathomable, and he was able to use his power to directly kill Rafa through the 'Ring of Sins'...... Even among the saints in the entire empire, the Speaker can be at the top, right? β
Chen Lun thought to himself, and said to the speaker respectfully:
"Speaker Azgierro."
"No need to be polite."
The gray-robed man smiled kindly and patted Chen Lun's shoulder affectionately.
"You've done a good job, Jack, and you've been able to hunt Rafa this time, and you're indebted...... I didn't expect you to hold it up for so long, beyond my expectations...... But after all, it was my negligence that put you in danger, which is different from the previous plan, so I will compensate you for this strange thing. β
The Speaker took out a wooden plaque half the size of a palm, with some strange patterns and words engraved on it, and I don't know what was written.
"Rafah's body and his spirit have been sacrificed to His Majesty the King of Slaughter...... The only loot left is this Red Apple Church artifact, but you've seen its power, and I'm sure you'll put it to good use. β
"Thank you, Speaker!"
Chen Lun took the wooden card with both hands and said respectfully.
γA-Rank Monster - Sin Ringγ
Item description: An item containing flesh and blood powers, with the appearance of an unknown wooden plaque with phrases such as "the boundary between life and death" and "the only way out" written in yanita script.
It is suspected that a warlike Sage was incarnated after falling in a duel.
"The road of life is ultimately a struggle, the loser is nameless, and the winner is born."
Item Effect: Creates a "Battle Ring" with a diameter of 100 meters, blocking the area and isolating everyone except the user and the duelee from entering and exiting until one of them dies.
Item Consideration: One high-order flesh mystical substance or an otherworldly item of the same quality, plus fifteen days of silence per use.
It's a powerful trick for trapping enemies and hunting, and the price is not harsh, good! β
The description of the panel of [Sin Ring] was similar to what Chen Lun had thought, and he happily put it away.
At this time, the Speaker said softly:
"Next, we will go all out and destroy the 'base fortress' guarded by Rafa...... As the vanguard of the Empire, it dealt a heavy blow to the Red Apple Church for the first time. β
He took a deep look at Chen Lun.
"After you have cleared the 'Iwan Bang II' war zone for which you are responsible, go back to the council headquarters, and a secret meeting will be held to explain the situation to the other consuls of the Senate...... Also, be prepared, Jack, and I'll personally write a letter to the Imperial Inquisition to get you through their review. β
"...... the Imperial Inquisition?"
Chen Lun was slightly stunned.
"You're on the list of candidates for the Imperial Inquisition, but the two factions within the asylum have been at loggerheads and haven't been finalized...... This time, not only did you conquer the Red Plague one after another, but you also set a trap yourself to trap Rafa, the ten-core archbishop of the Scarlet Monastery, to death...... With such merit, there will be no more objections. β
The Speaker chuckled.
"I know you're confused...... But there are not so many rules in the Council of Generosity, and I will not restrict you from having another status, on the contrary, I would love you to join the Imperial Inquisition. β
"But...... Speaker Azgierro, why? β
Chen Lun looked confused.
He couldn't figure out that if he was just a member of the Imperial Inquisition, he might be able to win some glory for the Generous Council, but the Speaker wouldn't care about such a thing......
"The Spirit Realm is in turmoil, and the Sun King intends to send his own army to explore the depths of the Spirit Realm, this is a great opportunity to get you to a higher position...... Moreover, the changes in the dark world are delicate, and even His Majesty the King of Slaughter has mentioned this matter, and I hope that you can be the eyes of the council and pass on the information over there as soon as possible. β
The Speaker's expression grew serious.
"The impact of this incident on the present world may be even more severe than the Red Plague."
Chen Lun suddenly realized.
This is the plot of version 2.0, and it seems that the empire has been preparing for it for a long time...... Does the Speaker want me to join the team exploring the dark world as a member of the Imperial Inquisition? It's okay, if I can, I have two official identities, and I can also intervene in the main story of the next version in advance! β

Tourmaline King's City.
Inside the Sun Chamber.
As the star mist dissipated, the high-ranking or leading figures of the various forces were silent for a few seconds.
"Who was that young man just now?"
Prince Dazlet asked curiously.
The old man on the side, Deferni, said lightly:
"One of the ten consuls of the Council of Generosity, Jakespet."
"Huh? Can a mid-order transcendent also become an archon? β
The prince wondered.
At this time, Fiona, the chief judge of the asylum, chuckled and said:
"Jack's story is a bit bizarre, but it's also quite interesting...... He was originally born into a family of fishermen, but he died because he caught a strange object, which caused all his family to be polluted, and he was orphaned and captured by the Red Apple Church as a sacrifice to feed the 'unknown strange thing'. β
Fiona had obviously read the detailed report on Chen Lun and treasured his life experience.
But later, during the time he was imprisoned in the dungeon, he reaped an adventure and was lucky enough to become a transcendent person on the path of fate...... Not only escaped from the control of the Red Apple Church, but also burned down the local church, and even later took action one after another, inflicting a series of heavy blows on the Red Apple Church...... The Generous Council was able to become the new Orthodox Church, and this man contributed a lot. β
"It turned out to be a great hero under Speaker Azgirro, no wonder he can serve as an archon."
The prince nodded, realized.
The silver-robed lady of the Star Sect suddenly explained:
"Prince, Jakespeter became Archon not only because of his outstanding contribution to the Generous Council, but also because his strength was not comparable to that of the ordinary Transcendents...... Three incarnations of the Sage have been beheaded by this person in the Rotif family......"
He spoke, glancing at Pope Fernie of the Church of the Sun.
"Even the Light Split of Terrence had a body destroyed at his hands."
The old man didn't react, his face was calm.
And many of the big people present who didn't know much about Jack showed a look of interest on their faces when they heard it. Prince Dazlet laughed even more and applauded.
"This Jack is really a talent of the Empire! No wonder it was able to hold up Rafa's hand for so long just now, until Speaker Azgilro arrived......"
Then, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table and turned his head to look in the direction of the Imperial Inquisition.
"Presiding Judge McCollin, how about recruiting him into the Imperial Inquisition?"
A middle-aged man in a military uniform smiled.
"Prince, Jakespeter was already on the new list of candidates, but Judge Pramont and a few of them did not agree with this decision...... After all, Jack's origins are not 'orthodox'. β
When Prince Dazlet heard this, he shook his head and sighed.
"I think it's too pedantic to select members based on the criteria of the past in the current era...... But all outstanding talents who can serve the empire should be admitted on an exceptional basis, otherwise it will be a pity. β
The bearded man next to McCollin was also dressed in a military uniform and had a black blindfold for his left eye.
This man was none other than the presiding judge of the radical faction, Pramont.
He glanced at McCollin lightly with one eye, and then said calmly:
"Now that the prince has spoken, I also think that this little fellow deserves to make an exception."
"It couldn't be better......"
Dazlet laughed happily.
