Generous church district.

In the sunny garden, Chen Lun and Floy are sitting on wooden benches. The tranquil girl with long pale blonde hair was lying in his arms, and Chen Lun looked at her face with her eyes closed and resting gently.

"Floy."

"Hmmm......"

The girl snorted lazily.

"I may need to take a trip."

Chen Lun said softly.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here as before."

The corners of Floy's mouth lifted slightly.

Chen Lun's eyes also showed a gentle smile.

He remembered that he had escaped from the dungeons of the Red Apple Church with Floy, and every time she came back from an outing, she would stand silently in the doorway, waiting for an unknown amount of time, and finally whispering "You're back".

He stared down at her for a long time before he said slowly:

"But this time, I can't guarantee that I'll come back."

Floy frowned slightly, slowly opened her eyes, and sat up, her lilac eyes flashing with worry and nervousness.

"Is there any danger?"

She guessed something smartly.

"You can say that, but this time is different from the past, and I can't escape ......"

Chen Lun smiled slightly.

Floy grabbed his hand tightly and said in a deep voice:

"I'll go with you!"

Chen Lun just shook his head.

"It's useless, it's my fate, no one can help me...... If I don't make it back, I'd like to leave the royal city with the rest of the circus and find a hidden corner to grow...... Then the turmoil in the spiritual world will be even stronger, and you will have to rise to a high position in order to make a difference in the future. ”

He has prepared for the worst, if he fails to challenge fate, Howard should not implicate Floy and them, but the water in the royal city is too deep, and there are still many uncertainties in the main plot, so Chen Lun hopes that these companions can leave and live well.

He believed that with the talent of Floy and others, he could definitely achieve a high position one day, and in that case, he wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore.

After listening to his last words, Floy could no longer control her emotions, her eyes flashed with a glimmer of crystal, and her ethereal voice trembled:

"Who is your enemy?"

Chen Lun didn't answer her, just quietly stared at this good-looking face, as if he wanted to imprint her deeply in his mind.

Floy was a little angry, it was the first time she had really felt angry with him, her fingers clenched, and even a little white.

"You've got to tell me who it is...... If you die, I also have the motivation to live...... I will do whatever it takes to avenge you! ”

Chen Lun felt Floy's strong fluctuating emotions and his unwavering belief, and he saw that his lilac eyes flashed, and he actually shed tears.

His heart couldn't help but stagnate.

He sighed secretly.

He raised his hand to hold the girl's face and gently wiped away the warm tears with his thumb. Chen Lun stared into her eyes and said in a deep voice:

"His name was Howard...... If I fail, then He will be promoted to the Angel of Destiny, and you will have no chance of winning! ”

"Then I will also silently accumulate strength until I also achieve a high position...... Kill Him again! ”

Floy said awe-inspiringly.

She stared at the beloved face in front of her, and her tone changed to mildness:

"Don't forget the agreement between us, if you forget, or get lost, we will all meet on the moon eventually."

Chen Lun finally gave her a hug.

It is a farewell, but also a response.

Because behind this oath, there is a symbol of death...... If she doesn't come back, Floy will definitely find a way to avenge him, and whether she succeeds or not, she will definitely die.

Chen Lun left the garden alone under Floy's quiet gaze.

He didn't tell the rest of the team about it, because he didn't want them to worry about him, and there was no need.

It's his own business, and no one can help.

However, just as Chen Lun was about to find a place to fall into the dream world, he saw Alex humming a song while walking along the path and returning from playing outside.

The two looked at each other.

Alex laughed and saluted him to his chest, then said in a loud voice:

"Mr. Jack, I wish you a safe journey!"

Chen Lun couldn't help but stop and looked deeply at the guy in front of him.

From a very early age, he suspected that Alex was hiding a big secret, but no matter how much he tried, he never found any clues.

Now the other party's seemingly ordinary words correspond to what he is about to face, but it seems particularly appropriate.

"You know what I'm going to do?"

Chen Lun asked with a chuckle.

Alex shook his head blankly, then shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I don't know, but aren't you going out?"

"Forget it......"

Chen Lun sighed secretly, feeling that he was too sensitive.

However, Alex hurriedly said:

"By the way, Mr. Jack, I went out to collect some inspiration this time, and wrote a brand new poem, would you like to hear it?"

"Don't listen, next time."

Chen Lun refused and was about to take a step to leave.

"Listen to it! Soon! Mr. Jack! ”

But Alex relentlessly came over.

"If you don't listen, you despise my great bard Alex! No way! I'm just going to let you listen! ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his melodica and began to play a tune.

The prelude is very ear-grabbing and quite beautiful, and it can be seen that Alex is talented in music, but Chen Lun is not in the mood to listen at all at the moment. He walked forward with a helpless face, and this guy followed him and blew it, like a street performer begging for a reward.

Finally, panting, Alex put down his melodica and sang a hymn in a loud voice:

“…… If it's not that you don't deserve this era, then this era doesn't deserve you! Great Outland God! You're bound to come back as a winner! ”

Chen Lun stopped again, this time, he stared at Alex, and said in a deep voice:

"Outlander gods?"

"Uh...... Did something go wrong? I've heard that you've always been a messenger of the gods of a foreign land, and you've been inspired by that, so I'm going to sing a song of praise for you! ”

Alex stopped chanting and said puzzled.

Chen Lun was silent for a few seconds, and did not answer him, but asked in a ghostly manner:

"Do you think I'll be able to come back?"

Alex was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, and chuckled:

"Of course."

A moment later.

Chen Lun stared deeply at Alex's back as he left, and felt more and more that this guy was like a fog.

He didn't stay any longer, took a step, and disappeared in place.

On the outskirts of Intramuros.

In the evening, the light gradually dimmed, and in a very remote suburb, a figure walked slowly.

Chen Lun found a tree and sat on the ground.

He lit a bonfire the size of a basin, then took out the ritual materials he had prepared, arranged them beside him, and laid the silver cane flat on his knees. Close your eyes and pray in your heart to Maggie, the god of cats, and Philip.

This time, he didn't expect a response from the two of them, but simply wanted to inform him that he was about to enter the dream world and face Howard head-on.

In the silence, there was only the sound of crackling firewood.

Half a day.

Chen Lun slowly opened his eyes.

There was a hint of regret in his eyes.

Unsurprisingly, he received no response.

'It's time to go......

Chen Lun sighed secretly, took off his hat directly, used it as a pillow on the lawn, and then lay down directly.

[Fei Lei Cui Meditation Method] After a little operation, two breaths, Chen Lun quietly fell asleep......

His consciousness remained awake from beginning to end, but the environment of his dreams was a process of starting from nothing. Standing quietly in a white space, Chen Lun saw that the surrounding scene was like a picture on a canvas, gradually changing from scribbled lines at the beginning, to distorted and blurred buildings and streetscapes, and finally to a square very similar to the current world.

Chen Lun ignored the various pedestrians in his dream, but according to the direction guided by the crank of his cane, he went straight to the underground staircase leading to the dream world.

Just like last time, he descended 70 flights of steps to the area of the "Sleeping Gate...... Originally, Chen Lun was ready to negotiate with Lady Sigh, but this time, only the stone gate stood quietly, and all kinds of hideous sea creatures on it were vividly embossed.

Chen Lun looked around, looking at the empty and dim hall, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

If he could, he didn't want to face the sighing lady.

Although he was promoted to a high position, he was still a little apprehensive about the three ladies of the angel level. Of course, Chen Lun also learned some words about the sighing lady from the many mysterious classics he had read before...... Although he was tasked with guarding the "Sleeping Gate", he never hurt the unfortunate ones who had accidentally broken into it, and he would let people in if certain conditions were met.

It can also be seen from here that Lady Sigh is not a chaotic or evil position, and Chen Lun will have the idea of negotiating with her.

He took a silver cane, took a step, and went straight past the stone door.

The stairs continued to go deeper, and Chen Lun walked 700 steps again. When his vision suddenly cleared, he once again arrived at the gray forest environment.

Taking out the "Prince of Tragedy" that he had purchased from the newsboy, Chen Lun used his cane to make a cane, and soon got Howard's location clearly.

The reason why it is so easy is that on the one hand, it is the blessing of the "man of destiny", and on the other hand, it may be that Howard deliberately exposed his position so that Chen Lun could find him.

"Howard ......"

Chen Lun muttered this name, and his face immediately turned awe-inspiring.

He stepped out and disappeared in place.

In the depths of the dream world, at the top of the crystal mountain range, a figure in a black hat dress quietly appeared, standing on the bare black rock, looking out towards the other side of the mountain.

Chen Lun's expression changed a little.

In the fairyland, when you arrive in this same area, you can only see a void and the endless high walls...... But at this moment, there is a bright galaxy reflected in his eyes, and in his sight, there is an endless and vast sea of stars, and at the end, in the high wall, a lighthouse with a colorful halo can be faintly glimpsed!

And among the endless shining sea of stars, there was a lonely blonde man, sitting on the ground with his back to Chen Lun, as if he was intoxicated to watch this beautiful and vast spectacle.

Chen Lun took a deep breath, his figure changed, and he instantly crossed a long distance, directly arriving at the blonde man dozens of meters away, standing quietly.

The man seemed to notice and chuckled.

"You're here anyway, Jack."

He stood up and turned around with a smile of relief on his face.

Immediately afterwards, I saw him slowly take off the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and pushed his blonde hair back, stretched out his hand and said:

"Reacquainted, my name is Philip Howard."
