Chapter 492: Celebration
Today's dinner was extraordinarily generous.
Not only to celebrate Noah's safe return, but also to show respect for His Majesty Blaise and Rosa.
Noah's health is recovering well, and the appetite he shows at the dinner table is even more than ever, which makes his companions who care about him sincerely happy.
There is a small episode in the middle, that is, during the meal, His Majesty Blaise praised Floy's craftsmanship, and at the same time joked that maybe Chen Lun did not agree to marry Rosa, probably because Rosa could not cook.
These words caused the exclamation of everyone present.
The team cadres showed curious expressions, wanting to ask out loud, but they didn't dare, they all made eye contact with each other, and the atmosphere was extremely strange for a while.
Especially Maggie, whose face was full of gossip, couldn't wait to grab Noah and ask what was going on at that time.
Rosa kept chewing gracefully without showing embarrassment, and she pinched the snickering Noah twice, echoing her mother's praise for Floy's cooking.
"Although this is not the first time I have tasted Miss Floy's craftsmanship, I am pleasantly surprised every time...... If I were Mr. Jack, I'm afraid I'd fall in love with you. ”
Rosa smiled charmingly and stroked her silver hair.
"I just don't know when I can attend the wedding of the two?"
She asked politely, looking at Chen Lun on the throne with interest, and Floy on his left.
“……”
As soon as Chen Lun swallowed a mouthful of food, he looked up and found everyone at the table looking at him.
"Ahem, it's almost there."
"Wow!"
Anton sat in a huge chair, chewed on a hayburger, and howled exaggeratedly. Although it wasn't very clear what the wedding meant, it felt like it was important to Mr. Jack, so happily participated.
Chen Lun shook his head helplessly.
Immediately, his powerful perception clearly detected Floy's smile, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.
Chen Lun gently stretched out his hand and grabbed her little hand.
Floy was slightly stunned, and then looked up to see the other party's smile, and sincere and comforting eyes. The little bit of loss that rose in her heart dissipated and turned into warmth.
After dinner.
Chen Lun personally sent His Majesty Blaise and Miss Rosa out of the church district. Before the two boarded the carriage, Blaise expressed his gratitude to Chen Lun.
"Jack, Noah's safe return is also thanks to your efforts. This time the Sun King will compromise, and the attitude of the Generous Council is very important, if it weren't for your promotion at a critical moment, killing Houston and taking back the right to speak...... Then the final result may also be different. ”
"Since Noah swore to follow me, then I will definitely not sit idly by."
Chen Lun smiled and shook his head.
Blaise looked at him deeply.
"Take what I said, and try not to explore the secrets of the royal family again, the sun...... It's dangerous after all. ”
"I'll keep it in mind, Your Majesty."
Chen Lun nodded.
Blaise finally raised his right hand and brought it to his chest.
"Goodbye, Jack."
This is his respect for a strong man of the same rank.
The carriage slowly moved away.
Chen Lun watched it disappear into the night.
Just as he was about to turn back, the air around him twisted.
A sculpture covered with cyan crystals slowly walked out of the spirit world, and it handed out a letter without words.
Chen Lun recognized it, it was a sculpture of the meteor Lady Taffy Redcui. Now it seems that most of them are conveying a message for the other party.
After receiving the letter, Chen Lun opened it with some doubts.
In the letter, Ms. Fredtri expressed her desire to let him go to the Meteor Tower and thank him in person for rescuing her student Carmen.
Chen Lun thought thoughtfully.
'Exactly...... After my promotion, my abilities have improved across the board, and I have some ideas and conjectures about skill development that I can ask this erudite archmage for advice. Magic and fate go hand in hand, and in many ways they can be touched. ’
When he made up his mind, he found that the sculpture messenger had not left.
I was reminded of what Carmen had said, that His Messenger did not need gold pounds as a reward, but energy crystals. Since he studied under Lady Fredtree, the Courier's needs should be the same.
Chen Lun tried to take out two finger-sized dragon stones and handed them to the sculpture.
The latter took it and threw it directly into his mouth, chewing and swallowing it twice, and in the process it burst out with a terrifying red and black arc, sizzling, but it didn't seem to be affected, but nodded "excitedly", as if it was quite satisfied with the reward.
However, when the sculpture messenger left, Chen Lun found that some red lines seemed to spread out of the cyan crystals on its body, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Late at night.
A carriage transporting corpses slowly drove out of the lower city of Wangcheng and headed east along the main road in the suburbs.
Less than a hundred kilometers away from the Intramuros is a small town called "Guangming Town", which has the largest public cemetery in the vicinity. After thousands of years of development and evolution, there is no extra cemetery for burying ordinary civilians, so that if there is a dead person in the lower city, most of them will be prayed by the monks of the Moon Church, and then arranged to be sent to Guangming Town for burial.
This funeral service has even emerged as a special company in charge.
The carriage, which was moving slowly on the main road, was accompanied by only two employees of the "Dedai Funeral Company" in addition to the coachman.
The two employees were smoking cigarettes in the carriage, and one of the younger male employees looked behind him from time to time, as if there was something suspicious about the neatly stacked coffins.
"Alright Rick, don't keep looking at the dead people, are you afraid they'll jump out of the coffin and bite you?"
The older one exhaled smoke and laughed and teased.
Young Rick retorted:
"If it bites, it bites you, Nasr, and you don't throw any more bodies during the day, and you break Mrs. Sanita's arm...... The company clearly asked us to place it carefully. ”
"Company Company ...... It's the rules of the company, and when I first came, I was like you, but it's not like that after so many years, who will really stare at you? ”
Nasr, a veteran employee, said nonchalantly.
He took the last puff of his cigarette, reluctantly threw the cigarette butt out the window, and then teased:
"Bite me and bite me, it's better to bite my dick, it's a pity for Mrs. Sanita, she died in her thirties, how could that damn gas explosion happen on the commercial street in the lower city......"
As he spoke, Nasr shook his head, as if he regretted his beautiful face.
Just then, Rick jerked back again.
Nasr kicked him in displeasure and laughed:
"Is there something wrong with you kid?! Don't be surprised! ”
"It's not! I really saw a coffin move! ”
Rick said nervously.
Nasr cursed, about to say something.
Boom!
In the pile of coffins at the back of the carriage, there was a sudden muffled sound, and the whole carriage seemed to tremble.
"Fack!"
Nasr scolded in panic.
Rick was even more frightened and prayed with his head in his hands, apologizing and praying to the sun god.
The carriage slowly stopped, and the coachman, a slightly chubby middle-aged man, was in a panic and lifted the curtain of the carriage to ask the two about the situation.
"What's going on?! I seem to have heard something just now, and even the horses were frightened! ”
"God knows!"
Nasr spoke, then pulled Rick out of the carriage.
The three of them went around to the back of the car, unfastened the metal buckle, and pulled down the baffle. More than a dozen coffins were neatly stacked, but the top one was a little crooked.
"This is it! All I saw was it moving! ”
Rick hurriedly pointed and said.
"Shut up! Come and help! ”
Nasr glared at him, then boarded the carriage, and the three of them worked together to drag the coffin down.
But soon, Nasr frowned.
"Why don't I remember this coffin?"
Annoylessly, he took out his cigarette case, lit another one, and said to the other two as he smoked:
"Open it and take a look!"
"It's not good, the company rules ......"
Rick resisted, but before he could finish speaking, Nasr had already shoved the tool into his arms.
In the end, the old employee could not be resisted, so several people pried the coffin board open again, and then turned it over.
"Heavenly ...... Oh, my God! ”
The coachman was so frightened that he stepped back again and again and sat on the ground.
"This is?!"
Nasr gasped as he looked at the coffin in the moonlight, and the cigarette fell to the ground.
Inside is a headless corpse!
But the corpse has obviously undergone abnormal changes, with severe swelling in various parts, and even a strange squirming sound!
"He's a prince! His Royal Highness Prince Dazlet! ”
Rick screamed.
He pointed to a head in the corner of the coffin, his features twisted in fright.
"The prince was beheaded this morning, but how did his body come here?!"
Nasr felt nothing but a chill.
Boom!!
There was a loud bang.
The headless corpse in the coffin exploded, countless disgusting plasma clots shot out everywhere, and a huge monster five or six meters tall rose from the ground.
In the darkness, I saw that the headless monster had two long and large mantis knife arms, and its entire body leaned forward like a deformed insect, and the surface of its body even reflected a silver metallic luster.
The three of them turned pale with fright and did not dare to move.
However, the following night, hysterical screams rang out.

Early the next morning.
Chen Lun left his avatar behind, and even used the cloud leap to rush to the Augusta Mountains.
After being promoted to a sage, he no longer needs to use the [B-level Trickery-Stuntman] as a scaffold, he can directly create his own "external body", although his comprehensive strength is only about ten percent of himself, but it definitely surpasses his former self, and even the ordinary Sage incarnation is far inferior.
Leave it in the church district, it's just enough for some surprises.
The most important point is that Chen Lun discovered his own incarnation, and the biggest difference from other Sage incarnations is that he can share all the perceptions and information of the incarnation in real time.
He suspects that this is the credit of passivity [multitasking], but he can't be sure. If that's the case, then it's a unique advantage of the Destiny Pathway.
In addition, after the transformation of the Cloud Leap, he can now cross a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant, crossing the entire empire, I am afraid it will not take more than a minute.
It's quite a terrifying force.
It must be extremely difficult to hunt down a person who is in a high position of destiny.
It takes less than twenty seconds to go out.
Chen Lun's figure had already appeared in the Augusta Mountains, and he froze in mid-air, once again seeing the meteor tower built under the crater.
He straightened his hat, flew to the door with his silver cane, and knocked on it.
Tuk tuk.
It didn't take long for the door to slowly open.
It was not the sculptural messenger who opened the door, but a woman with long blue-purple hair and a plain linen robe, none other than Lady Fredtri.
Before Chen Lun could say hello, he saw the other party's brows frowning slightly, and said:
"Jack, what the hell did you eat for my messenger? When it came back, it was paralyzed! ”
