Chapter 540: Donations and Dinners
Limpang Cold Leaf City, Church of Generosity.
In the afternoon of that day, just after the meal, two noble people, a man and a woman, came to the door together and handed out a business card to the missionary guarding the door.
The two black-clothed missionaries looked at each other and hurriedly saluted.
"I've seen two of them, so I'm going to inform Lord Jack."
"No, He's already waiting for us."
Cold Leaf City's Judge Farick laughed.
With that, He walked in with the robed, hair-curled woman beside him. The two missionaries behind him waited for them to go away, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, and exchanged words in a surprised tone:
"The Sage of the Asylum and the School of the Mad Men...... They came to visit Master Jack together? ”
"I didn't expect that not long after Lord Jack came, he would be able to let the two Sages of Cold Leaf City visit together...... When Lord Peggy was in charge, he had never been treated like this. ”
"Forget it, let's not talk about it......"
One of them realized that something was wrong and quickly interrupted the conversation, while the other nodded tacitly and closed his mouth.
On the path of the church, the scholar Suraya smiled lightly:
"Why do you think of visiting Jack? And they pulled me along......"
"I think you did it on purpose, Suraya, you know why."
Farek shook his head.
"I know very well the strength of the 'White-scaled Dragon', and Houston has been promoted to a saint for nearly a hundred years, but he was killed in less than half an hour in front of him...... Now there's another Master Carmen, and it's a real headache...... Anyway, we've been here for decades, so it's impossible to ignore it, right? ”
"Alas......"
Suraya sighed.
There was a hint of depth in His eyes.
"You don't understand, I can see that Jack is a seeker and has little interest in struggle...... His body has gone to the kingdom of Byron, both in pursuit and in disguise to reassure us. ”
Farick was silent for a long time, and then said in a deep voice:
"I'm sorry, but it's not safe to take a look."
"Whatever you want."
Suraya said indifferently.
"But I advise you not to say what you said to Peggy again...... Forget if your avatar is destroyed, my avatar still has a bunch of research to be completed. ”
"Don't educate me like a three-year-old."
Farick said depressedly.
The two of them walked straight through the open space behind the church, and saw some circus officials moving there, and they looked at each other, and Noah, Golov and others saluted them from a distance.
Farrick and Suraya replied and quickly entered the door of a large apartment, and as soon as they entered, they saw a gentleman in a black hat sitting on the sofa, waiting quietly.
"Floy, please go make two cups of tea."
Chen Lun said to the nun in the black dress beside him.
As he spoke, he kissed her on the cheek, and the latter blushed, nodded obediently, and turned to go to the kitchen.
"Welcome, please be seated."
Chen Lun raised his hand to signal.
As soon as Farrick and Suraya sat down, Chen Lun smiled and said:
"Before I can thank you in person, your letter of recommendation has saved me a lot of time and energy."
"Hugo was a judge of the situation, and even if he didn't have a letter, he would have agreed to His Majesty's request to borrow it from the Great Library of St. Byron."
Suraya smiled slightly and said.
"Anyway, thank you for your help."
Chen Lun bowed his head.
At this time, Floy came with hot tea and poured a cup for the two guests with her own hands, Chen Lun asked her to sit beside her, and then looked up and continued:
"I'm sorry, I would have liked to introduce my friend to you, Master Carmen, but he is obsessed with the pursuit of knowledge and the study of magic, and he rarely shows up...... I think the scholars at Sulaya University will understand this. ”
"Of course."
Suraya chuckled and nodded.
"I don't know much about this Carmen mage, but as a transcendent of the magical path, my generation has always been like this...... 'Idlers' like me, who still go out from time to time, are actually a minority of outliers. ”
Faric on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes.
After decades of getting along, he couldn't know more about Suraya, this woman was also a paranoid person with knowledge, and if it weren't for his kind words today, the other party would not have left the Mage Tower and came with him to visit the Church of Generosity.
Looking at Farick's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Chen Lun suddenly spoke:
"By the way, Judge Faric, I was going to pay you a visit...... Since it happens today, I would like to take this opportunity to discuss it with you. ”
Faric looked a little confused.
"I don't know what's going on?"
"That's right...... Although I have not been in Cold Leaf City for a long time, I have always practiced the will of the God of Contract, and I have arranged for Sister Maggie to treat the 'frost disease' of the residents, but I don't think this is enough. ”
Chen Lun's face showed pity.
"Honestly, I love it here, both in terms of the tranquil environment and the peaceful atmosphere in which people live...... Unfortunately, due to natural disasters, there are still many poor people suffering from the cold, and I have seen more than once children in poor clothes, strolling through the streets, almost freezing to death. ”
As he spoke, he looked up at Farick, smiling calmly.
"So I'm going to donate 100,000 gold pounds to Cold Leaf City in the name of the Generous Council for the construction of schools, hospitals, and shelters, I wonder what Farrick wants?"
Farick fell silent at first.
He glanced at Suraya without a trace, and both saw surprise in the other's eyes.
As saints, neither of them was short of money, but the other party casually took out 100,000 gold pounds to do good deeds, which was really beyond their expectations.
That's not a small amount!
"Your mercy and generosity, Your Majesty, I admire you...... I think that's a good thing, and I'm here to greet you on behalf of the residents of Cold Leaf City. ”
With his right hand on his left chest, Farick bowed his head slightly towards Chen Lun.
"You are worthy of the consul of the Council of Generosity, praise the covenant."
Half an hour later.
Farek and Suraya leave the Church of Generosity.
On the way, Suraya laughed teasingly:
"How? Have you accomplished the purpose of your visit today? ”
Farick was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
After a few seconds of silence, he stopped and looked back at the tall but not luxurious church, as if he could feel a pair of eyes calmly watching him.
He knew in his heart that the other party might have known the purpose of his trip from the beginning, but he showed his attitude in a very tactful and gentle way.
"Forget it......"
Pharik let out a sigh.
"I won't bother to bother with Jack in the future, I hope he is really as you say, a seeker, a man who longs for stability."

Kingdom of Byron.
Port of Enlightenment, St. Byron College.
The weather was sunny in the afternoon, and although the temperature did not rise, it was still pleasant.
On the lawn of the college, a makeshift picnic spot was set up, where five students, including Polaris, Lucy and Ahsoka, were eating and chatting.
"Polaris senior, your steak is grilled."
Lucy was placing a piece of roasted steak on her plate, smiling and holding it up.
"Thank you."
Polaris strode over, took the plate, and thanked him.
"Lucy, your craftsmanship is really unspeakable, it's very well baked!"
Qingtian Xiaoyu raised the fork in his hand, the corners of his mouth were still stained with dipping sauce, and he praised with a smile.
"Thank you for the compliment, senior sister...... Ahsoka, it's yours. ”
Lucy responded with a smile, then put a grilled fish on a plate and handed it to the girl who was waiting silently, who politely thanked her and walked to the table with the plate.
"Guys, I've always had a question."
Feliciano said as she stood by the barbecue, nibbling on a pork rib, as she raised her eyes.
The rest of the crowd looked at him, chewing on the meat in his mouth with a curious expression.
"Do any of you know Professor Jack's strength? As far as I know, only President Hugo is the strongest in the Academy, he is a great sage, and among the other professors, Professor Janian and Professor Jeffries are recognized as strong, and of course, Vice President Stanley and Dean Julie are also very powerful......"
Felix Anno commented on the professors with a look of longing in his eyes.
Lucy glanced up at him, but pursed her lips and didn't speak.
"Teacher...... Once threatened a sage. ”
Ahsoka raised his head, hesitated, and said cautiously.
"Huh?"
Feliciano looked at him in surprise.
Ahsoka, however, did not speak again, and lowered his head and took a small bite of the grilled fish. Just as Felic Ano wanted to ask, the sunny light rain on the side couldn't help it, she put down her fork, and said mysteriously:
"I know how strong the teacher is!"
Except for Polaris, who glanced at her speechlessly, Lucy, Ahsoka, and Felice Ano all looked at her, seemingly curious.
Qingtian Xiaoyu looked left and right, and then said in a deep voice:
"If you want me to say, the principal of the academy, Hugo, is probably not the opponent of Mr. Jack...... His old man is also a high-ranking saint, and his hands are more terrible than anyone else's, I have seen teachers kill people, and they will kill hundreds of thousands of people at a time! ”
"Senior sister, you're joking, right......"
Felis Anno's hand shook, and the bone accidentally fell to the ground, he quickly bent down to pick it up, squeezed out a smile and said.
"I swear in the name of the God of Contracts!"
The light rain on a sunny day said matter-of-factly.
"You should know about the Red Plague of the Trisur Empire, right? It was the teacher who single-handedly killed Rafa, one of the ten cores of the Red Apple Church's Scarlet Monastery, that ended the turmoil...... At that time, hundreds of thousands of church people died at His hands! ”
"Hiss......"
Felisianno gasped, and suddenly felt cold all over. Ahsoka, who was sitting next to him, reacted similarly to him, his little head shrunk into a large scarf and scarf, and his two eyes showed panic.
But Lucy was not afraid, but smiled proudly and adoringly, her cheeks flushed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
At this time, Polaris really couldn't see it, so he frowned and said:
"Don't listen to her, the teacher is not so scary."
Felisianor and Ahsoka were stunned and secretly relieved.
"I'll just say, how can a person who is so gentle and elegant as a professor ......?"
"At most, the teacher killed tens of thousands of priests."
Polaris explained earnestly.
“……”
Felisiano's smile stiffened, and Ahsoka's big eyes on the side suddenly flashed with mist, as if he was about to burst into tears.
"Ahem, I'm ...... I see that the ingredients seem to be finished, I'll go get some more, you guys, you wait for me, and I'll be back soon. ”
Felisianno swung and staggered away, almost falling to the ground with his foot slipping.
