Chapter 576: The Gatekeeper and the Truth (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
A figure vanished into the air.
The "Darkspawn" below are unaware.
In an instant, Chen Lun crossed thousands of kilometers and reached the northern part of the underground world, which corresponded to the location of the Great Coleridge Forest on the surface.
'The 'exit' that the queens have explored is here......
He flew straight up.
After a while, I touched the rock wall of the dome.
The extremely hard black rock formations couldn't help but remind Chen Lun of the kind of landform of the Wonderland Crystal Mountains, ordinary people can't help this kind of stone at all, let alone digging, even skilled miners can't dig a crack after a busy day.
However, after a few minutes of exploration, Chen Lun found a large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters.
This cave, which seems to have been formed naturally, was discovered by successive queens and gradually enlarged.
Chen Lun entered the cave and continued to fly up.
After about 100 kilometers of ascent, the cave gradually narrowed, and the rock wall was covered with uneven obsidian, and the direction of extension was also skewed to the northwest.
'...... in this direction'
Chen Lun seemed to think of something in his heart as he flew.
Soon, after another round of twists and turns, he came to a spacious but hot cavern.
The temperature around is extremely high, probably reaching seventy or eighty degrees, and you can still smell the rich and pungent smell of sulfur in your nose.
Chen Lun relied on his inhuman physical strength, directly ignored the harsh environment, and even abandoned his breathing, bypassed the cave again, and found the exit.
Rumble!
As soon as he went out, his vision suddenly opened up.
The original endless darkness has turned into a blazing red heaven and earth.
It's a hellish scene here!
It is like the magma of the ocean covering the earth, bubbling and flowing freely. There are also raised obsidian pillars that stand tall in the magma and defend against lava waterfalls falling from the sky.
The noise was endless.
Toxic gases and high temperatures are in the mix.
'It's a magma layer?' ’
Chen Lun was secretly speechless.
He looked up at the top of the magma earth, a huge fissure, straight to the sky, and faintly, he could see "white spots" as small as grains of rice.
This white dot is the "exit" to the surface!
The speculation in Chen Lun's heart became stronger and stronger.
He was almost certain that most of this so-called "exit" was located in the Augusta Mountains...... And there is only one active crater, and that is where the Meteor Tower is located!
Queens have been held back here.
So what they said was the "gatekeeper" who was sent by the Father to suppress Matthew—
Ms. Fredtree!
It should have been thought that on the previous two missions, Ms. Fredtri's honorific title was "The Gatekeeper...... It's just that I've never thought about it. ’
Chen Lun's heart sank.
Sou!
His figure soared into the air and flew straight towards the exit.
Not long after, Chen Lun saw a blue-green inscription array appearing on the rock wall, densely packed, sealing the entire crater tightly...... With his current magical attainments, it can also be seen that many key nodes have undergone renovations.
It was Master Carmen's original handiwork.
At a glance, an old mage tower sits on a rock protrusion, and the base is covered with various colored crystals.
At the door, there stood a slender and mature figure.
It's just that the other party's originally solemn expression, after seeing Chen Lun, couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately showed doubts.
"Jack?"
Chen Lun teleported to Lady Fredcui.
Take off your hat and bow your chin to sign.
"See you again, Lady Fredtree."
"I didn't expect it...... You've been promoted to a demigod. ”
Fredcui's eyes were shocked, and then complicated emotions flowed, frowning and asking:
"Why did you come out of the crater? Is it ......?"
Chen Lun didn't hide it, and nodded directly in acknowledgement.
"Well, I stumbled into the underworld and found this exit through divination."
He asked tentatively:
"Lady Freede, is it your duty to guard the exits and forbid the inhabitants of Matthewlands from leaving the earth and coming to the surface?"
Ms. Fredgreen did not answer immediately.
He just sighed and turned and walked into the Meteor Tower.
"Come in and talk about it."
Chen Lun put his hat back on and walked in.
Not much.
The two sat down in the attic on the top floor.
Chen Lun also took the opportunity to relay the words of the Queen Matthew, that is, "the gatekeeper sent by the Martyr's father will punish Matthew's land."
Unexpectedly, Ms. Fredtri sneered at this.
"What can I have to do with the Sun God?"
He was silent for a long time.
Perhaps because of the closeness of the two, Ms. Fredgreen explained:
"This is an oracle given to me by Mr. Jingyao, ordering me to protect the sinners underground......
"Protection?"
Chen Lun was a little surprised.
Fredtri nodded.
Take out the cigarette case, pick one up and put it to your mouth to light it.
"Father Lie abandoned the Matthew clan underground, so naturally he won't let them out easily...... The curse rooted in the bloodline not only prevents it from entering the spirit realm, but also reacts violently to normal light. ”
After a few puffs of smoke, he pointed to the sky beyond the transparent crystal wall and said:
"Daylight is normal for us, but for them, it is poisonous! Once those underground criminals return to the surface, they will be killed by the sun on the spot as soon as possible! ”
Chen Lun couldn't help but be stunned.
It turned out that Lady Fredgreen had done all this to avoid a devastating blow to the land of Matthew.
But it's no wonder that successive queens misunderstood him.
After all, the sinners of the underground did not know this, and Lady Fredtri, who "prevented" them from returning to the surface and chasing the light, was naturally divided into the camp of the Burning Father, and used to watch over the executors of their sinners.
"Mr. Jingyao, why did He ask you to protect the sinners?"
Chen Lun frowned.
Ms. Fredetree rolled her eyes helplessly as she held the cigarette between her delicate fingers.
"Do you think the gods will explain everything to me?"
Chen Lun was speechless for a while.
After a few more small talks, Ms. Fredtri began to chase away, her tone somewhat impatient. It may be that when Chen Lun came out of the crater, he triggered some hidden early warning mechanism that interrupted his research.
So much so that Lady Fredgreen was quite resentful.
Chen Lun didn't stay long, got up and left the Meteor Tower.
He didn't return to Matthew's land, because after learning the truth from Lady Fredgreen, he knew that conventional methods could not save the underworld......
Chen Lun didn't want to tell the four queens this desperate answer.
Perhaps letting the sinners of the underground believe in the "scorching sun" is the best choice at the moment, because only Arnold, who has regained his sanity and humanity, can redeem the land of Matthew.
Chen Lun finally looked back at the Meteor Tower.
The body shook and turned into two.
The incarnation, which was indistinguishable from the main body, disappeared in its place and flew away towards the royal city...... It was sent by Chen Lun to reply to Princess Anna.
Although there was nothing that could be done about it, the mission did not require that the Matthews be successfully brought back to the surface.
Therefore, as long as the results of the investigation are presented, they can be exchanged.
Chen Lun felt that the 500W experience points were still very earnable.
As for his main body, he chose to return to the base camp of Cold Leaf City.
Because he was not in a hurry, he chose to fly at high altitude this time.
Along the way overlooking the beauty of the empire, the state of mind is quite peaceful.
Since the battle of fate, Chen Lun has no such urgent anxiety as he once had...... This is how to go to the kingdom of Byron to study the high powers, and in the leisure time, slowly savor the knowledge, enjoy the process of thinking, and finally pick the results of the achievement and joy.
In my previous life, I was a drama party who was keen on traveling, but I didn't expect that I would be on the run all my life. ’
Chen Lun couldn't help but sigh.
'We can't relax in the future, the wind and rain are coming, and improving our strength as soon as possible is the king...... At present, if [dramatist] wants to be full, he still needs at least hundreds of millions of experience points, and there is a long way to go. ’
Woo –
Screams and waves of clouds streak through the sky.
Chen Lun had unconsciously swept over the Jewel State.
Suddenly, he noticed something and couldn't help but look down.
The bird's-eye view pierced through the clouds and was finely and accurately locked on to the main city of the Gem State, Fossil City.
The terrifying eyes swept away, and Chen Lun's eyes rolled through the mist.
His face suddenly became extremely solemn.
Because he found that on the streets of Fossil City, in department stores, and even in various manors, whether it was the powerful and wealthy businessmen, or the low-level commoners, there were many people who were not in the right state.
A loading worker in front of a restaurant.
【Kutman (Tainted)】
A female employee at another company.
【Nelly (tainted)】
There is also a nobleman picnicking on the lawn, all of which have the word "polluted". Yet these people are unaware and continue to live peacefully.
Chen Lun took a deep breath and used a more powerful power to peep at his life.
The gaze pierced through the fog and glimpsed the fate of these people......
It's like a mirage.
Chen Lun "saw" that the loading workers suddenly lost control one night, and the silver-colored insect arthropods grew out of their bodies, and then they quickly rushed out of the low-rent house, dismembering and killing all the workers in the entire building......
He also "saw" that the female employee of the company suddenly fainted when she was dining alone, and when she woke up, she found that her physical fitness had changed qualitatively, and she inadvertently burned her fingers and burned the documents and files......
Chen Lun finally swept over the warm nobleman, but raised his eyebrows.
Because he failed to "see" the strange fate of these people.
A priest dressed in a white monk's robe, wearing a white wide-brimmed hat and holding a white-skinned Bible, happened to pass by the table of a noble family.
The family was very respectful of the priest who passed by, smiled and saluted, and invited the priest to dine with him. But the priest just waved his hand gently, spread out his Bible and prayed for them.
The invisible pollution disappeared from the aristocratic family, forcibly transferred to the priest, and was consumed by his great power and reason.
Chen Lun's eyes froze.
The information about the priest was immediately known to him—
【Martin Gustus (Solar System Sequence III - Beacon)】
"Huh?!"
The priest was startled.
There was a terrible warning in His heart.
Then in the surprised eyes of the aristocratic family, he looked up.
In the line of sight, there is a clear sky.
There are no anomalies.
But Martin knew that there was definitely a powerful person in high positions just now who was secretly watching him. At the same time, the breath of [Aries Hammer] is fleeting.
"Who...... exactly"
Martin's face was extremely solemn.
Tickets are being asked for at the beginning of the month!
There are only seven days left for the May Double Monthly Pass Event, so let's vote for the Waste Pills!
