After the meeting in the secret room, Chen Lun did not stay long, and made an appointment with the members of the first team to meet at the headquarters tomorrow morning, and then returned directly to the banquet hall and left the Sun Palace with Floyin.

The prince was very kind to let the carriage that came to send the guests back, so Chen Lun and the others took the carriage and returned to the church area of Kang'e.

On the way, Chen Lun told Floyin that he might be busy for some time to come.

"Is it the prince's assignment?"

Floyin guessed the answer very brightly.

Chen Lun nodded.

"Well, since you have joined the Imperial Inquisition, you have to work for the Empire, which is a thing that cannot be done...... In the past, as an extraordinary force in the opposition, although we were free, we were also walking on thin ice, and the slightest carelessness would lead to all kinds of trouble. ”

He said with some emotion.

"Now that we have the Council of Justice and the Imperial Inquisition as our backers, we can do a lot of things with this status without worrying too much...... But everything has a price, and as a team leader, I am responsible for each and every one of them, which was the initial commitment to them. ”

"Whatever you choose, I will always stand behind you."

Floyin smiled slightly, and covered her small hand over the back of Chen Lun's hand.

There was a look of appreciation and admiration in her eyes, the man in front of her was carrying a lot of burdens, but he was also leading the team forward in a difficult environment.

Perhaps this is also his charm, which makes Floyin difficult to extricate himself.

"Thank you."

Chen Lun laughed and gently held Floyin's palm with his backhand.

Floyin slowly leaned on his shoulder, and the two of them stopped talking, silently enjoying the rare time alone.

Soon the carriage drove into the church precinct and stopped at the entrance of the cathedral.

"Sir, it's here."

The royal coachman respectfully took off his hat and bowed his head into the curtain.

Chen Lun gentlemanly opened the curtain for Floyin, took her men out of the carriage, and then turned around and gave the coachman five silver tips.

"Good work."

"You're welcome, noble and generous sir, this is all the prince's command."

The driver took the tip and said happily.

"Praise Trisur."

Chen Lun gently stroked his chest, and the coachman also hurriedly made a prayer to express his respect for the royal family. Afterwards, the coachman drove the carriage away, and Chen Lun took Floyin back to the residential area.

He immediately summoned the circus members and his councillors.

Everyone gathered in the conference room and sat quietly.

"The prince has given a mission to the Imperial Inquisition, and I have to leave for a while to go deep into the spirit realm to investigate the cause of the turmoil...... I'll leave it to you, if there's anything important to tell Floyin, she'll relay it to me through the Pale Seal. ”

Chen Lun said to his subordinates.

"Yes, Mr. Jack."

The crowd answered.

"Commander, don't worry, we will do our job well."

Maggie laughed.

Chen Lun snorted, and then said to Frey Arkbin and the other Jinbei councilors:

"During this time, you are also familiar with the work of the church, and in the future, the four of you will serve as the 'priests' of the Wangcheng Kang Church, and as for the specific process of each week, you can discuss it yourself...... Except for special circumstances that require going out, the rest of the time is here. ”

"Thank you for your trust, Master Jack, and we'll do what you do."

Akbin looked at each other, then stood up and saluted.

Chen Lun nodded, and then took out a huge iron bucket with a capacity of 100 liters from the Blood Poetry Ring, and smashed it on the ground with a thud.

"This is the 'Spring of Youth', which has the effect of healing injuries and diseases and prolonging life, and can be used as the 'holy water' of the Wangcheng Kang Church to the believers and special guests, Floyin, and these holy waters will be kept for you."

He turned to Floyin and said.

The nun smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Akbin, the four of you can apply to Floyin for access if you need it."

"Yes, Master Jack."

The four Golden Cup MPs replied.

Chen Lun then explained many matters one by one, so that the circus cadres had something to do, and the whole team was like a sophisticated machine, under the effect of his clockwork, began to operate.

Late at night.

Chen Lun sat alone on the sofa in his room in the residential area.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly got up and walked to the window, looking at the purple moon outside.

'Spirit Investigation Project, Dark World ......'

Chen Lun took out Mr. Biles's token Youlan Statue, sighed secretly, activated it, and followed the guidance to take a step and entered the hidden area of the spirit world-

Mr. Biles' Graveyard of the Night.

Looking at the silent tombstones around him, Chen Lun's breathing slowed down, and he walked forward with a step, coming to the huge tombstone in the center. The tombstone bears the names of Biles Wolf and his beloved wife, Ogett, and rests a broken sword, a set of torn black armor, and a handful of fresh orchids.

This is all done by Chen Lun for the Biles.

Because Mr. Byers's remains and Youlan's remnants [Cut Acacia] fused and turned into a mutant A-class strange thing [Secluded Oath], this tombstone is just a "clothed mound" for joint burial, which can be regarded as Chen Lun's regret to make up for Mr. Byers after his death.

Chen Lun touched the tombstone and felt the cold and rough texture.

He sat on the floor, leaning against the huge tombstone, just as he had done when he first met Mr. Biles.

Source change app】

After a long silence, Chen Lun opened the last codex that Mr. Byers had left him.

This is a record of Mr. Biles's travels to the dark world in order to strengthen the mythical power of the Sage...... Maybe it will help me in my next actions. ’

He had only briefly flipped through it before, and probably knew that it recorded some of the environmental conditions of the dark world.

A moment later.

Chen Lun stopped on one of the pages, his brow furrowed slightly.

'There is almost no light, the environment is quite harsh, and it is infested with countless half-human, half-insect contaminated creatures......

He remembered the dark end he had been to in the fairyland, where it was as recorded in the Codex. And the kind of monsters that have been encountered are the powerful insects, they are the children of an ancient god named Didak.

As he continued to read, the shock in his heart grew stronger.

In the dark world, which is also divided into multiple levels of space, Mr. Byers finds a huge door, like a spectacle, through which he can reach deeper space...... The deeper you go, the more polluted and ferocious the monsters become, and you can see some remnants of the ancient era. ’

Chen Lun looked at the Codex, and Mr. Biles said that she had only explored the fourth layer of the dark world, and did not know how deep it was. But Chen Lun knew that in the end, it must lead to the end of the darkness, that is, the area where Arnold was located.

It's just that the real dark end won't be like the reproduction of Wonderland...... Arnold had told him that perhaps the real her had died at the end of the darkness.

'And the subterranean world that Mr. Biles wrote in the Codex, somewhere in the dark world, there is a special area from which you can return directly to the present world, but it is an underground ...... to the continent'

Chen Lun flipped the codex to the end, and he was surprised to find that Mr. Biles had actually met a living person in the underworld, a human who could communicate normally!

But what follows is a blank space, as if Mr. Biles has not had time to write ......

It seems that Mr. Byers, having heard the news of his old nemesis, Terrence, could not wait to return to the present world and began a plan of revenge, and the Codex was not completed. ’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

'But this has helped me a lot......

The next morning.

After Chen Lun finished washing up, he had Golov drive him to the headquarters of the Imperial Inquisition in a carriage.

It's not far from the Sun Palace, just near the long staircase and next to the Asylum headquarters. The two buildings are symmetrically divided, surrounded by high walls, and the average person cannot see what is inside.

It is also an official confidential place, but any resident who comes close to 100 meters will be chased away by patrol guards.

Golov showed his identification to the guards and walked unhindered under the Jury building.

"You go back, you don't have to wait for me."

Chen Lun instructed Golov.

"Yes, Captain."

Golov saluted him, then flew back into the carriage, shouted at the horses, turned the carriage and left.

Chen Lun turned around and walked into the gate.

The lobby on the first floor of the jury resembles a bank, except for the rows of seats, which are glass windows. Chen Lun didn't stop here, and went directly to the third floor, where the senior office was.

As soon as he went up, he saw some members of the Imperial Inquisition sitting in the corner of the spacious hall, sitting on the sofa drinking coffee and tea, chatting and mingling. And the members of his first team also arrived early and sat around a coffee table.

There are seven members of the team, four men and three women, all of whom are five transcendentals.

When he saw Chen Lun approaching, one of the young men greeted him with a smile:

"Good morning, Captain Jack."

"Good morning, Rahne."

Chen Lun gently bowed his head in response.

The information of these team members, the boss McCollin has already shown him the file, and the young man named Rahn in front of him is a good guy to get along with, with a relatively mild temper and good strength, and has been in the executioner squad for a few years.

"Jack, you're late as the captain, can't you? Know that we have been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Another middle-aged man burst out.

"Mathieson, it's not really a big deal, it doesn't have to be like this."

Rahn smiled and waved his hand, trying to lighten the mood.

Chen Lun glanced at Mathieson and knew that this guy was quite dissatisfied with his position as captain, and there were other men and women with similar attitudes, Rocky and Merris, and the three seemed to be a small group.

"Yesterday's agreement didn't talk about a specific time, so there is no such thing as being late, but since everyone arrived before me, I'm a little careless, sorry."

Chen Lun said with a chuckle.

Mattheeson wanted to say something, but Chen Lun raised his hand first.

"I'll go and hand over to the receptionist later, leave a backup of the mission, and pick up some pre-departure supplies and props by the way...... If you have any needs, you can prepare them now, and then we will have a small meeting. ”

"Okay, Captain."

Rahn and the other female team member nodded, got up and left, and walked towards a window, as if to apply for some supplies.

The remaining five were still sitting on the couch.

"Captain, I don't have anything to prepare."

A male team member wearing a peaked cap explained to Chen Lun.

"Me too."

A female member of the team next to him whispered.

Her face was covered with a black veil, and she couldn't see her specific appearance, but she generally had an elegant temperament.

"Wells, Bessie, then you wait here for a moment."

Chen Lun nodded at the two of them.

Mathieson, Rocky, and Merris glanced at Chen Lun lightly, and then exchanged words in a low voice, as if they didn't take him seriously.

Chen Lun glanced at them and turned away without paying attention.

He first went to one of the windows, handed his ID plate to the staff, and then registered for the mission.

"Mr. Jakespet, this is your squad's supply package, and I wish you all the best for your next operation."

The female staff member in her thirties bowed her head deeply and wished him.

"Thank you."

Chen Lun thanked him, walked aside with the package, opened it and looked at it.

Inside, there are three palm-sized anchor-shaped ornaments, heavy in the hand, which seem to be made of all-metal.

【Transcendent Thing - Spirit Anchor (One-time Consumables)】

Through the introduction of the panel, Chen Lun learned that this kind of thing can anchor a coordinate, and then point to that coordinate at all times like a compass, the purpose of which is to prevent the operators from encountering accidents and losing their way in the spirit world.

In addition, there was a potion bag and bits and pieces in the package, and when the medicine bag was opened, forty or fifty mini reagents the size of little fingers were revealed, and the bottles were filled with purple potions.

【Transcendent Thing-True Vision Potion (Shelter Workshop Seventh Improved)】

Chen Lun looked at the description on the panel and learned that this potion could effectively improve insight, and although it could only last for a few seconds, it could completely support the user to see the rift in the spirit world, so as to enter the spirit world and even deeper areas.

This is an official elixir developed by the Empire specifically for the spirit world, which is used to help some transcendents who lack insight and allow them to enter the spirit world normally to perform tasks.

Through Mr. Biles' Codex and the files within the jury, Chen Lun already knew the specific threshold for entering the spiritual world and beyond—

The spirit realm is 30 insights, the second level is around 40 insights, and the third level is around 50 insights...... As for the Dark World, it takes at least 60 Insight to do it.

This is a fairly high hard indicator!

Therefore, even if the members of the jury who participated in the investigation this time are all middle-order transcendents, not everyone is qualified to enter the dark world, and these "true vision potions" are the "key" to help them open the door.

And this kind of potion, Chen Lun looks quite familiar.

'Huh...... Isn't this a high-end version of the 'Spirit Eye Potion'? ’

He was a little surprised.

In the 2.0 version of the previous life, the way for players to participate in the main quest was to go to the spirit realm to fight the tide of pollution, but with the level of strength of the players at that time, it was almost impossible to meet the level of insight.

Therefore, the official and major forces will provide a prop called "Spirit Eye Potion" to help them enter the spirit world.

Chen Lun looked at this packet of potions, and suddenly thought carefully.

'Can you get a recipe?' When the time comes, let Maggie study it, reduce costs, and concoct a similar potion, which will definitely make a lot of money...... After all, this is the next version of hard currency, a necessity for players to participate in the main quest! ’

With this in mind, he went to another window on the third floor and found the quartermaster.

Chen Lun applied to call up the exchange library, and really found the "True Vision Potion Formula" in it, and its exchange price was "B-level meritorious service once".

'Chance! ’

He was in a great mood.

Immediately, Chen Lun looked at the other things in the exchange vault by the way.

'That's a lot of good stuff...... It is worthy of the official inventory. ’

His gaze swept over the list, and his heart was extremely surprised.

Suddenly, his gaze froze, and he stayed on one of the columns—

"The Thirty-Ninth Attempt to Enlighten the Pursuit of Knowledge, a mystery book by Lymon Karonte, records a mysterious profession [inscriber] that has the power to transcribe low-to-medium mystical knowledge. Exchange price: B-level meritorious service once. ”
