At this time, Chen Lun's panel popped up a task prompt-

[You have triggered "S-Rank Side Quest: Prince of Tragedy"!] 】

Description: From Princess Anna, you learn about the history of Arnold, the eldest son of the Sun, who is the god of the Sun Cross. Anna wants to follow the guidance of fate and the oracle of the "hot sun" to kill Prince Dazlet, undo the foreshadowed catastrophe, and help the "hot sun" get out of trouble.

Princess Anna has extended an invitation to you at this time.

(Refusal will have unknown consequences, so choose carefully!) ）

Objective: Death of Dazlet Trisur.

Rewards: 100W XP, 1W Gold Pounds, 50 Regional Songs, 20 Attribute Points, 10 Special Attribute Points, 1 Blessing Points, and Anna Trasur's Opinion.

'S-Class Feeder Line...... The rewards are indeed lucrative. ’

Chen Lun fell into a brief contemplation.

He weighed the pros and cons in his heart, knowing that if he refused Anna's invitation, he would inevitably avoid the other party's favorability falling to the freezing point, and even a conflict.

As the leader of a secret organization, Princess Anna could not be a soft-hearted lord, and since she let herself know these secrets, she would not allow herself to leak them.

At that time, once you tear your face, even if you can use the cloud to escape by leaping, it will be difficult to move in the royal city, and everything you do here will be in vain.

Turn your head and tell Prince Dazlet?

Chen Lun could not produce conclusive evidence.

How could the royal family believe in the one-sided words of an "outsider" and point the finger at the Sun King's favored daughter.

And......

Arnold was a close friend of Philip and regarded me as a friend, and if it weren't for him, I might have been lost at the dark end of Wonderland. Floy's ancestor, Athena, also died because of Dazlet's whistleblowing......

Chen Lun turned his head to look at the dancing roots in Floy's palm, took a deep breath and said:

"Well, Your Highness Princess, I think I already know what to do......"

He accepted the task and looked at Princess Anna again.

"I promise to help you, but it can't be unconditional support...... All I can say is to do my best. ”

"Thanks, but that's enough."

Princess Anna smiled.

"On the 9th of next month, it will be Dazlet's twenty-third birthday, and the palace will hold a great dinner to celebrate...... And that day will also be his death. ”

She briefly explained the plan to Chen Lun.

"Usually, in his daily life and outdoor activities, he will be secretly protected by the five 'Bathing Light Guards', and it is difficult to find assassination opportunities...... The exception was on the day of the birthday dinner, when they had another task and would leave Dazlet for a while. ”

"Even so, it's not easy to kill him."

Chen Lun frowned.

"The royal palace dinner will gather a lot of big people, even the high-ranking members of the Church of the Seven Gods...... And, in the presence of His Majesty the Sun King, how are you going to kill him? ”

"Father won't come to dinner...... He hasn't been seen for years, even two years ago, when He was absent from my bar mig. ”

Princess Anna shook her head calmly.

"As for how I do it, I'm sorry, I can't tell you just yet...... It's just that when the time comes, it will require a little cooperation from you. ”

“……”

Chen Lun frowned slightly.

He was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Okay...... But Your Highness Anna, since you are unwilling to disclose specific actions, I will refuse to participate in the actual situation at that time if it puts me in a very dangerous situation. ”

"Rest assured, you won't be in any danger."

Anna said softly.

Looking at her serious gaze, Chen Lun bowed his head.

In the following time, the two tacitly did not continue the topic, but chatted about something else, just like an exchange between ordinary friends.

After two cups of tea, Princess Anna got up to take her leave.

Together with Floy, Chen Lun accompanied her back to the location of the carriage and watched the carriage slowly leave the path illuminated by the street lamp.

Standing in place for a moment, Chen Lun recalled what Princess Anna had said before, and his eyes suddenly froze, and he found that something was wrong.

'Oracle of the Sun'......'

Chen Lun muttered in his heart.

Although he had not known Arnold for a long time, he also realized that with his personality and personality, he should not have given an oracle to Anna and the followers to "kill his brother Dazlet to help him get out of trouble".

Let's not talk about his current situation, does he still have a clear mind and can issue oracles...... When Chen Lun was separated from Arnold, he asked him why he didn't leave together, and Arnold's answer was that it was his mission to stay at the end of the darkness, hunting the darkness forever.

Why, then, did He want to get out of trouble?

This is obviously somewhat contradictory......

'Is it pollution that changes Arnold's mind?' Or did He really hate his brother Duzlet......

Chen Lun was a little unsure.

He couldn't even figure out whether the back of the "skeleton" he saw at the end of the darkness was dead or alive.

Arnold's current true state is unknown after all.

In the end, Chen Lun could only sigh secretly and put these thoughts into his heart.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

The orders issued by Prince Dazlet have been gradually conveyed from the royal city to the rest of the empire. The official asylum, the Seven Righteous God Churches, and many otherworldly forces, large and small, have all responded to the call and began to recruit more undead strangers in preparation for the next foray into the spirit realm and hunting for the spread of pollution.

Chen Lun's Generous Council is no exception.

However, since he is currently in charge of the Intramuros chapter, he only retains circus players under his command. However, he was not idle, and took this opportunity to expand the "enrollment slot" and deliberately convey some information to the player community.

Knowing that Jack's Circus was recruiting, the game forum during this time set off a wave of enthusiasm again, and countless related posts popped up, spreading the good news and arousing the enthusiastic response of players.

This extraordinary organization, which has been "prolific" elite players since the beginning of the closed beta, has attracted the attention of many players. Now playing "Mysterious Times", who doesn't know that "Circus" is one of the best places, let's not talk about various exclusive benefits inside, let's just say that the player members in the group, but they are all the bigwigs on the leaderboard, know a few to learn from the experience, not hundreds of times better than their own crawling?

And very importantly, the circus director, Jack Pett.

This NPC had an extremely highlight moment in the last version, coupled with a series of related feature videos released by "Little Fan Girl" Su Keying, players know that under his command, they can reap benefits that are difficult for others to obtain.

So all of a sudden, many players who were close to the royal city rushed over.

It just so happens that now version 2.0 has raised the level cap of players, and most of the second-tier players have been successfully promoted to become transcendents, reaching the threshold for circus recruitment.

In the space of a week, more than 3,000 players successfully joined the circus.

And the number of elite players under Chen Lun has directly reached more than 5,000, of which about 1,000 belong to the Sequence Eight Transcendental.

Polaris is still the only mid-tier player, far ahead.

this day.

Chen Lun was in his room, preparing the editing panel to release relevant tasks to the players under his command, after all, according to Prince Dazlet's request, he should officially start hunting in the spirit world in the next few days.

Tuk Tuk ......

There was a knock on the door.

Chen Lun had just gotten up, and the knock on the door was even more urgent, and even turned into a knock on the door, as if the people outside the door were in a hurry and rushed to the toilet.

He rolled his eyes and walked over to open the door.

Judging the sound of knocking on the door through [Five Senses], Chen Lun already knew who was outside the door, so he didn't get angry. A young woman with messy hair was leaning against the doorway, holding the door frame with one hand and lifting it with the other.

"Maggie, can you tap next time you knock on the door? I'm going to have a heart attack. ”

Chen Lun reluctantly pointed to the door and motioned for her to come in.

Maggie ignored his words and walked into the room, pulling out a bottle of purple potion.

"Captain! The research on the potion was successful! ”

She threw the purple glass bottle in front of Chen Lun.

"This is a new type of potion researched according to your requirements based on the principle of "True Vision Potion Third Edition Formula...... Although it is not as effective as the original, the cost is also greatly reduced, of course, there will be a little insignificant price, that doesn't matter...... By the way, I also gave it a name, 'Sensitive Puppy's Tears'! What do you think? ”

"Forehead ......"

Chen Lun looked at Maggie's expectant eyes and nodded seriously and appreciatively.

"Good, Maggie, I think it's good."

"Hahaha...... I know that you know how to appreciate my talents, Commander. ”

Maggie crossed her back and laughed.

Chen Lun coughed, took the potion and sat on the chair, and directly used the panel to investigate.

He raised an eyebrow.

The results showed that it lived up to its expectations.

Although the potion only lasts for 3 seconds, it can increase the perception attribute by 20 points, which is enough for the player to spy on the spirit rift.

This potion can be used as an exclusive prop for the circus, and will be used as a core consumable and necessary for players to participate in the main quest for a long time to come...... What's more, it's far cheaper than similar items from shelters, churches, and other forces! ’

Chen Lun smiled.

Of course it's not perfect, and as Maggie says, it has a little side effect...... Within a minute of taking the potion, your health will drop by 50 percent, accompanied by symptoms such as angina, perforated stomach, bleeding from the liver, and uncontrollable tearing in your eyes.

'Hmm...... I believe that for the brave and fearless warriors of the foreign land, these are nothing. ’

Chen Lun nodded and thought to himself.

Immediately afterward, he asked Maggie whether the potion could be mass-produced in a short period of time, and how much it would cost.

"Captain, compared to the previous potions, the 'Tears of the Sensitive Puppy' does not consume many materials, and it only costs about 30 silver lords...... As for production, there is a [skilled beaker], which can prepare a volume of 30 pieces of liquid medicine at a time, and it is uninterrupted 24 hours a day. ”

Maggie replied truthfully.

Chen Lun is quite satisfied with this result.

He took out an Imperial Bank voucher with 50,000 gold pounds written on it, handed it to Maggie, and asked her to make this potion for the rest of the time, and said that she could ask the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce for help to purchase the required materials.

According to the experience of previous lives, the consumption of this potion will be very large, and players are very dependent on it due to their own level strength. It can be said that if you want to participate in the main quest plot, you must have this "ticket" in order to enter the main stage "Spirit Realm".

And every time you enter the spirit realm, players need to consume one.

If they die in the spirit realm, they will be reborn from the resurrection point of this world, and if they want to enter again, they will have to consume another one.

Therefore, Chen Lun plans to take advantage of this opportunity of the current version to earn some "hard money" from the hands of players...... After all, other forces, this kind of thing is too expensive, and it even needs to use the power contribution. The circus is different, the head of the troupe, Mr. Jack, in order to allow warriors in a foreign land to buy this medicine at a low price, went to great lengths to find the formula, and urged the cadres to research and develop it day and night, and finally achieved results.

So this "hard work", Chen Lun feels very good.

He deserves it.

'I've really given a lot of ...... for you'

Chen Lun sighed in his heart.

At the same time, he was also silently renaming the potion, after all, according to Maggie's name, it was really inappropriate.

"Since it's a low-level version of the 'True Vision Potion', let's call it the 'Spiritual Vision Potion'......

A few days later.

On August 12th, players officially started the main quest of version 2.0.

This time is different from the faction confrontation in version 1.0, almost all players have the same goal, which is to hunt polluted creatures in the spirit world as much as possible, and according to the strength of the target killed, there are corresponding mission rewards and points, and finally the prize pool will be settled at the end of the mission.

At the same time, it was at this time that the rather unfamiliar word "spirit world" gradually entered the field of vision of most players.

In the game forum, the popularization of science about the "spirit world" began to increase, and players realized that the world they had been active in was only the surface of the world, and there was another world overlapping with it.

But a huge problem lay in front of them.

That is, where is the "spirit world"?

How do I get in?

Through popular science, it is known that it takes 30 points of perception to survey the rift, and then enter the spirit realm through the rift...... However, that's a panel property that only mid-sequence transcendents can have.

This made the vast majority of players dumbfounded.

With the arsenal released by each player's faction, they found a way to enter the spirit realm by making up for the attribute defects through potions. However, the price of these potions is quite expensive, and players are worried for a while.

Popular posts on the game forum:

"—The 'True Vision Potion' in the shelter is priced at 5 gold pounds, which can be replaced with Power Contribution, but it's too expensive...... Ten days and half a month, how much does it cost?! ”

"-You're okay, the History and Ritual Association, and the Hailing Regiment are more expensive, and some non-church forces even need a dozen gold pounds a piece, and you're not allowed to play? Lao Tzu only saved a few hundred gold pounds in the last version, and he emptied his family after a few times in this version? ”

"-Don't be so pessimistic, according to the description of the main quest, and some news revealed by Lao Tie, the polluted creatures hunted in the spirit world will explode extraordinary materials, which can be exchanged for money and contributions, and will not make you lose your income and expenditure."

"-Hahaha! And guess what? The circus's 'Psychic Potion' only costs a special 1 gold coin! Several of our brothers in the guild group are laughing silly! ”

“——？？？”

"—I heard that Jack was still hiring, so he simply apostatized."

"—This Church of the Sun doesn't wait!"

Stuck badly, in pain......
