Arnold's timely rescue gave Chen Lun a new understanding of the strength of this white-haired young man.
'This won't be any ordinary high sequence...'
Chen Lun was determined.
Killing all the sons of the ancient gods with one sword, how powerful is this?
Among them were some Didaks who were suspected to be high-sequence levels, but they instantly dissipated in the light like daylight.
It was as if under the extremely terrifying high temperature, the gas turned into the tiniest powder.
To be obliterated, to be erased.
Like a miracle.
'The dazzling light and scorching aura are undoubtedly the power of the sun path. He...is she a sun saint or a sun angel? ! '
Chen Lun's thoughts were confused.
Unknowingly, he had followed Arnold and returned to the bonfire in front of the cabin.
Arnold used an unknown tree branch, cut it into a stick shape, strung up the black meat pieces, and put them on the campfire to bake.
He looked at Chen Lun with some confusion on his face.
"Jack, what's wrong with you?"
The expression of concern did not seem to be fake, and Chen Lun also retracted his thoughts.
"It's nothing...I'm sorry Arnold, I didn't listen to your advice and left the bonfire without authorization...Thanks to your rescue, otherwise I would have been in big trouble."
He saluted Arnold, stroking his chest.
This is both an expression of gratitude and respect for a high-ranking being.
But Arnold didn't care much. He waved his hand without any airs and said with a smile:
"Don't be so polite. I can understand your eagerness to leave, Jack...but this darkness is too threatening to you. I don't want to lose a friend like you."
He turned the roast in his hands and sighed.
"It's a pity that I can't remember some things, and I can't help you go back."
Chen Lun took a long breath and responded with a smile.
But my heart is getting more and more depressed.
Because he secretly sensed Maggie's statue and found that his reserve sanity points were just over 400 points, and there was not much time left.
Arnold seemed to want to ease the dull atmosphere. He turned to look at Chen Lun, pointed at the silver cane in his hand, and said:
"Is that your weapon? It looks exquisite."
Chen Lun nodded and said yes.
"It's called [Gift of the Stars], and it was left to me by Philip..."
He originally wanted to say "relics", but suddenly thought that Arnold didn't know about Philip, so he stopped talking to avoid the other party feeling sad.
"Phillip gave it to you? Can you show it to me?"
Arnold seemed very interested. He paused and then added:
"I might be able to help you strengthen it."
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows, and immediately realized that since the other party was a high-ranking person in the Sun Sequence, he must have the ability to forge extraordinary things.
"No problem at all."
He stepped forward, swung the silver cane horizontally, and handed it over with both hands.
When he took the cane, Arnold's eyes caught a glimpse of Chen Lun's right hand. To be precise, it was the rustic brown glove worn on his right hand.
"This glove... gives me a very familiar feeling."
Arnold's eyes showed confusion.
Chen Lun thought for a moment, then simply took off his gloves and handed them over.
Arnold sat down with his silver cane and gloves in his arms, looking carefully, with a thoughtful look on his face.
A long while.
"This glove... seems to have been made by Uncle Martin, but he was very dissatisfied with this weird thing and threw it to the church. Why is it in your hands?"
Arnold spoke.
"Uncle Martin?"
Chen Lun's eyes narrowed.
He remembered that Maggie had mentioned that Martin Gustus was the former pope of the Church of the Sun. Arnold called him "uncle" and must have had a close relationship with the Church of the Sun.
"Ha...I have no memory, I can't remember it."
Arnold frowned and scratched his head.
at last.
He handed the gloves back to Chen Lun, not intending to dwell on them any longer.
Chen Lun was a little regretful that he could not get more information from Arnold, so he had to put the [Fireworks in the Palm] back on his right hand.
At the same time, he took out the two high-level extraordinary materials [Fairy Heart] and [Didak Heart Diaphragm], handed them to Arnold's hands, and said:
"Arnold, are these materials useful?"
"Huh?"
Arnold was a little surprised after receiving these two materials.
"These are the biological remnants of the dark world, and one of them belongs to Didak, the son of the ancient god... Jack, you killed Didak, it's really amazing."
He complimented and smiled.
"It is indeed useful, but these are too few."
After Arnold finished speaking, he pulled out the broken sword from his back and slashed it with his hand, creating a spatial crack in mid-air.
Blazing light burst out from the cracks. He reached in and fished out dozens of pale biological tissues... all of them were materials belonging to the Son of the Ancient God, and some were even more advanced.
Chen Lun looked at this scene in surprise.
He could vaguely see that there were mountains of extraordinary materials in the cracks.
After the space crack closed, Arnold picked through some materials, and then placed the [Fairy Heart] and [Didak Heart Diaphragm] given to him by Chen Lun next to the silver cane.
Arnold raised his right hand and made a fist lightly.
ever!
A white flame ignited in his hand, swaying at an extremely slow speed, and then the flame shrank suddenly - Arnold's fist turned into a dazzling little sun.
Chen Lun felt a wave of heat hitting his face, and the air around him was distorted. Even with [Hell Resistance] in his body, he still felt a burning pain on his skin.
Arnold raised his fist like a blacksmith raising his hammer.
With a bang, he slammed it down.
when--!
A dazzling light suddenly came on.
A loud noise ensued.
when--!
Once, then again.
Every time Arnold strikes, a violent light will burst out, and the ground will tremble and shake, like an earthquake, with a violent sonorous buzzing, penetrating the darkness.
Chen Lun even felt that his soul was penetrated by strong light and loud noise.
The clanging sound is endless, but it is rhythmic. The intervals between each stroke are exactly the same, more precise than the ticking of a clock.
After a while.
Arnold stopped the extraordinary forging, and the surroundings fell into dead silence again.
"Jack, it's done."
A voice came.
But Chen Lun was a little dizzy, and there was still a buzzing in his ears.
After spending more than ten seconds to calm down, he saw Arnold hand over the silver cane with a smile.
"Thanks……"
He responded with a dry voice, and felt his hands feel heavy.
The weight of the silver cane was heavier than before.
Chen Lun first looked at Arnold. After the other person had gone through a round of forging, his breathing was stable and there was not even a drop of sweat.
He secretly admired it and immediately lowered his head to look at his new cane.
The style of the cane has changed slightly.
The body of the staff is covered with spiral patterns, making it more comfortable to touch. The bottom end is sharp, like the head of a spear, but is actually a snake's tail.
The position of the crank handle looks like the head of a viper, with vivid eyes and an overall exquisiteness, like a work of art.
"This cane can take on several forms before, but I thought it was a bit flashy... After adding suitable extraordinary materials, I arbitrarily merged its functions into a single one, focusing only on killing.
And I saw your transformation before, so I made it to suit your aesthetic appearance. I hope you like it, Jack. "
Arnold explained on the side, showing a bright smile.
"To be precise, this weird thing only has three forms. One is a regular cane, which can be used as decoration, personal equipment, or as a blunt weapon.
The second is the staff sword, which can extend several times its length by itself unexpectedly, and bend at will, just like its appearance. This form is not an exaggeration to call it the 'Snake Sword'.
The third is the giant sword. In this form, it is the true complete body of the cane. Not only is it extremely thick, it can also absorb a large amount of extraordinary power... For example, the extraordinary flame released by your pair of gloves can turn it into Fire giant sword.
Moreover, this complete giant sword form can also temporarily integrate a variety of extraordinary powers. You can study it slowly in the future. "
Chen Lun stroked the silver cane in his hand and couldn't put it down.
[B-level monster-Hymn of the Galaxy]
Its level has increased, its name and effects have changed, but its cost has remained the same.
Chen Lun attributed all this result to Arnold's unfathomability.
He took off his hat and was about to salute Arnold, but then he remembered that the other party didn't seem to like him being too polite and distant, so he smiled and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Arnold. I'll treat you to a drink."
As he spoke, he took out two goblets and a bottle of extraordinary wine.
A trace of joy flashed in Arnold's sapphire eyes, and he took the wine glass with a smile.
Chen Lun poured a glass of wine for the other party, and then poured himself a glass of milk with Arnold's surprised expression.

The two drank drinks, ate barbecue, and chatted happily.
Most of the time, Chen Lun told Arnold stories about the real world, as well as some anecdotes about his circus partners. Arnold listened attentively, and the yearning in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Chen Lun seemed to have forgotten the countdown, put aside his worries, and gained a short-term peace of mind. Such a relaxed state of mind made his thoughts flow more smoothly, and he soon thought of something.
"Arnaud, do you have a sister?"
Chen Lun took a bite of the barbecue, his mouth was full of oil, and he asked aloud.
"younger sister……?"
Arnold was a little confused, his eyes full of confusion.
"I don't remember having a sister."
"Wait a moment, Arnold."
Chen Lun put the barbecue in his hand on the bonfire, then got up and went into the house. After a while, he came out again, holding a dirty doll in his hand.
He handed the puppet to Arnold.
"Anna..."
Arnold was startled when he looked at the writing on the back of the doll.
"I...I remembered something! Anna, my sister!"
His expression suddenly became extremely gentle.
"Jack, what year in the solar calendar is it now?"
"4419 years."
Seeing that Arnold had recovered part of his memory, Chen Lun looked forward to it and immediately said in a deep voice.
"It turns out...so many years have passed."
Arnold sighed with emotion, his tone was extremely vicissitudes of life, and he stared at the puppet at hand in trance.
"Anna has grown up, but it's a pity that I can never see her again."
He turned to look at Chen Lun and smiled.
"Jack, I can help you return to the present world...come with me."
After saying that, Arnold stood up with the lantern.
Chen Lun followed him silently, leaving the bonfire and walking into the darkness behind the wooden house.
After a while.
When the two of them were deep into the darkness, Arnold suddenly stopped. In front of him, there was a dark well.
"This well was left by Philip, and the wooden house was built for me by his lover Maggie... But in fact, Wonderland is just a replica of the fictional world, and the real me in the outside world may be dead... After all, after so many years, Even I will eventually be swallowed up by darkness..."
Arnold turned around and smiled brightly at Chen Lun.
"Nice to meet you though, Jack."
Chen Lun looked at Arnold and suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of depression.
"Arnold, do you still remember who you are? Can I help you... help the real you in the outside world escape from the end of darkness?"
Arnold shook his head.
"Thank you, Jack, but you can't help me... You are still too weak. Even the second layer of the spiritual world cannot be penetrated, and your life may even be in danger.
Moreover, I may not necessarily accept your help, because it is my own choice. "
He pulled off a ring from his hand and stuffed it into Chen Lun's palm. Then he patted Chen Lun's shoulder hard and showed a bright smile.
Boom.
Chen Lun felt like the world was spinning, and he had been thrown into the well by Arnold.
At the last moment he fell into darkness, he only heard Arnold's retreating footsteps and a faint voice:
"I don't remember who I am, but I will never forget my mission... to hunt the darkness forever."

When Chen Lun woke up from the darkness.
However, he found himself on a grassland. On the top of the high slope in front of him was a vine platform, and "Philip in Wonderland" was being quietly held up on it.
'This is... the internal space of the [Jingzhe] bookmark. '
After Chen Lun sat up, there was some confusion on his face.
'How did I get back here? '
He walked a few steps forward, came to the high platform, slowly picked up "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland", and his eyes focused.
'And, I remember Howard stepped in and took it away...'
Chen Lun let out a light sigh at this time.
He looked across the vine platform and found a fallen mask on the ground, as black as iron and in the shape of a cry.
So he stepped forward and picked it up.
"That's part of Howard's strength."
Then a voice came.
Chen Lun suddenly raised his head and saw a man with long black hair wearing a gray robe who appeared at some point and was standing next to him, holding a book in his hand.
The other person is handsome, but he has two upward curving mustaches and a pair of thick black glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Excuse me, your Excellency, who is...?"
Chen Lun's heart skipped a beat and he bowed respectfully.
The other party did not have strong fluctuations in extraordinary power, just like an ordinary person, but the more this happened, the more unfathomable it felt to Chen Lun.
'To be able to appear in [Jingzhe] bookmarks, this person must be something special...'
A thought occurred to him.
"You can call me Oscar."
The man chuckled.
"Originally, I didn't plan to contact you too early, but Howard's appearance disrupted the original plan...
The crying mask in your hand is the remnant of her incarnation after her death. It can be absorbed by the bookmark and turned into new power, which can be regarded as 'compensation' for you. "
Oscar said.
The crying mask in Chen Lun's hand was suddenly illuminated by a ray of light falling from the sky, and was immediately taken to the sky.
The towering trees on the far horizon began to sway slightly, and a breeze rose throughout the space.
Chen Lun suddenly noticed something.
This space told him that in the future, he could consume his sanity points to create "seeds" that linked to bookmarks, and he could enjoy some of the healing abilities.
Chen Lun was shocked.
An idea suddenly occurred to me.
'Does this mean that the purpose of harvesting players' sanity from a distance can be achieved... They invest their sanity in exchange for part of the healing effect.
I can even use this as a 'login' to let them enter the 'Wonderland' for adventure anytime and anywhere...? '
