Please take a seat. "
Chen Lun stretched out his hand to signal.
Akbin nodded and sat down on a wooden chair.
Councilor Frey of the Gold Cup politely bowed and resigned, leaving only two people in the tent.
"I haven't had time to thank you before. After studying with you for a while, Maggie has made rapid progress and is now almost at Sequence 6..."
Chen Lun poured a cup of tea for Akbin and raised his glass.
Akbin thanked him, took a sip from the tea cup, and shook his head.
"You're welcome. After all, there are too few people trekking on the natural branch path, and there is a lack of experience left by the predecessors as a reference. I also need an inheritor like Maggie to confirm each other..."
He put down his teacup and raised his head.
"After the ceremony was completed, I was successfully promoted to [Sequence 5-Disaster Master], and also became a Gold Cup Councilor under the Mulenga Archon... Unexpectedly, there has been a turmoil recently. Not only did the club win the seat of the Zhengshen Church, but you also followed the trend. He entered the Senate and served as the tenth consul."
Akbin put his right hand on his chest and lowered his head slightly.
"That's why I'm here, Archon Jack."
"Thanks."
Chen Lun heard the other party's subtext.
It was precisely because of his past friendship with Akbin that he voluntarily applied for help from the Mulenga governor and was assigned to his command.
Having Akbin, a powerful "Poison Doctor", will be of great help in the coming battles. The [Disaster Doctor] has a wide range of output capabilities and can effectively clean up a large number of fallen believers and low-level priests.
Chen Lun accepted Akbin's love, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
it is more than words.
"How is the situation over there in Gem State?"
Chen Lun asked aloud.
Consul Mulenga is responsible for the "Gem State No. 3" war zone. As his former subordinate, Akbin should have relatively detailed information.
"Everything was going well at first, but recently it has not been optimistic."
Akbin said in a deep voice.
"The counterattack of the Red Apple Church was very violent. The mobile 'Fortress of Hate' caused great obstacles to us. The members suffered heavy casualties..." Scarlet Monastery, Rafa, one of the new ten cores, was still there the evening before yesterday. An attack was launched, resulting in the death of four Jinbei members from Bindu's consul side, and a dozen cities that had been cleared were also lost."
After Chen Lun heard the news, he fell into deep thought.
'Rafa has also entered the Scarlet Monastery ahead of time. As an important BOSS in version 1.0, has he started to exert his strength... In addition, regarding the information about the Fortress of Hatred, it seems that I need to seize the time to sort it out and submit it to the Speaker and the Senate. ,
At this time, Akbin continued:
"Because of Rafa's frequent actions, His Majesty Terrence, who is sitting in the Fossil City of Gem State, decided to deal with him personally... But something unexpected happened in the process."
He raised his head and glanced at Chen Lun.
"'Sword of Ferry, Byers suddenly came to seek revenge, and fought fiercely with Terrence outside the Fossil City... Both saints used their bodies to fight from the shallow level of the spiritual world to the second level. Then they fought into the dark world, and the fighting between the two sides lasted for a day and a night."
"Um?!"
Chen Lun's expression changed slightly.
He was not surprised that Mr. Byers would take action at this time, but he was concerned about the final result.
Akbin was not a humorous person and did not make jokes at this opportunity. He immediately told Chen Lun:
"Terrence returned with minor injuries, but he is temporarily unable to deal with Rafa, making the situation in the Gem State increasingly serious... while Baierswolf escaped with serious injuries and is currently missing."
He said, silently observing Chen Lun's expression.
At this stage, almost all the top leaders of the various forces know the information that "Pale Knight Jack" is "Spade Knight Jock", and from the fact that he once teamed up with Byers to kill the incarnation of Terrence.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two is not simple.
The reason why Akbin told this news was to convey the current situation of Byers to Chen Lun in disguise.
"I see."
Chen Lun's expression didn't change much, he just nodded to express understanding.
"Akbin, please go to Floy's detachment and follow them... Maggie is also there. If you can, give her some advice."
"No problem, Archon Jack."
Akbin stood up slowly, saluted Chen Lun and left.
When the tent curtain fell, Chen Lun was the only one left here.
Then he let out a long sigh.
'I hope Mr. Byers is okay...,
Chen Lun first took out a pen and paper and spent half an hour writing down all the information he knew about the "Fortress of Hate", then compiled it into a book and checked it over.
After confirming that it was correct, he summoned the faceless waiter with the golden cup token and handed the booklet to it.
"This is a top-level confidential document that must be delivered to Speaker Azgierro."
Chen Lun said solemnly to the waiter.
The latter was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully.
"Yes! Lord Archon Jack!"
Chen Lun thought for a moment and raised his hand to signal.
"Hold on."
He then flew out a card and passed through the gap in the tent curtain.
After a while, Frey, the member of the Jinbei Council under his command, walked in.
"Master Jack, what are your orders?"
"You are responsible for escorting this confidential document and accompanying the courier back to the parliament headquarters."
Chen Lun said to Frey.
The latter didn't ask any more questions, but said solemnly:
"Okay, Lord Archon."
"Well, let's go and come back quickly."
Chen Lun nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Frey and the faceless waiter escaped into the spirit world together and disappeared without a trace.
Chen Lun sat on the chair and meditated for a while.
In the end, out of concern, he silently recited Mr. Byers' honorable name in his heart.
'The guardian knight of the night, the sword that ferries souls, the fearless one who challenges the blazing sun... Mr. Baierswolf, Jack is praying to you, please respond. ,
A long while.
Chen Lun frowned.
Because there was no response.
'It seems that the problem is a bit big... Either Mr. Byers is in a very bad situation now, or he has encountered something else and can't escape. ,
Chen Lun thought for a while, took out Mr. Byers' token "Orchid Statue", then activated it and guided him into a secret space in the spiritual world.
Darkness comes.
The purple moon is in the sky.
He appeared in the cemetery again.
This is the residence independently opened by Mr. Byers. Under normal circumstances, Chen Lun can find him here. But this time it was different. He found the cemetery empty.
Chen Lun walked to the center of the cemetery with a solemn expression, and found a letter under the huge stone tablet. Under the envelope, there is also a notebook wrapped in cowhide.
He bent down to pick up the letter and opened it.
This was a letter left for him by Mr. Byers, as if in anticipation of his coming.
"——Jack, I have been exploring the dark world alone for several months, and have basically mastered the power of the saint... But this time due to the intensification of the red disaster, Terrence has to use his body to take action. This is a rare opportunity, and I can't Missed...if I don't come back, please take good care of Floy, she is the last blood descendant of the wolf family."
At the end of the letter, Byers also said that he had written down his experiences in the dark world in the past few months into a notebook, which might be able to help him in the future.
Chen Lun put down the letter, opened the note and glanced at it casually.
It contains records about the polluted creatures and geographical conditions in the dark world. In addition, there is also an important discovery made by Mr. Byers, which is that leaving a special place in the dark world will lead to another place in the present world. The corner is the underground of the Sun Continent.
It was dim and dull, like a cave extending in all directions.
"Dark World" is another name for the third level of the spiritual world. The real world it is connected to is the underground of the continent? Under the feet of the Trisur Empire, there is another world!
Mr. Byers also stated in the letter that he found traces of human life there.
This news shocked Chen Lun.
Because even in his previous life, he didn't know this information.
Maybe it was because the version he was experiencing was only in the middle of 2.0, and the map hadn't been opened yet, or maybe it was a hidden plot that no one knew about... In short, Chen Lun vaguely felt that this matter was not simple.
He didn't have time to read the manuscript in detail, so he put it away and left the spirit world cemetery.
Returning to the present world, Chen Lun tried to divine Mr. Byers' life status and direction, but unfortunately, he gained nothing.
This was also what he expected. After all, Mr. Byers was already a [Sequence 4-Ferryman], a high-ranking person, and his own weight was not enough to detect him.
But Chen Lun did not give up. He then went to Wonderland, sat in a wooden house on the top of the ivory tower in the Crystal Mountains, and divined again.
This time, with the "blessing of power" and "shielding interference" from the fairyland, he got a vague omen - Mr. Byers' situation was very bad and in danger!
Chen Lun frowned.
Mr. Byers is not only his high-ranking helper, but also a mentor and friend like Philip. He is also Floy's only blood relative left in the world. He wants to help him, but he has no way to do it.
Because the divination only gave a rough idea of Mr. Byers's condition, but it still couldn't get the specific location. This made Chen Lun even more convinced that the opponent's hands and feet were trapped by something, or that he was in a special area that could not be detected.
'Try again later...,
Chen Lun had no choice but to leave Wonderland first, planning to conduct detection on Mr. Byers every few hours.
The bloody battle is not over yet, and more arduous fighting will continue.
He had no choice but to take his men and players to rest for a day before continuing the action.
But during this period, repeated divination still yielded no results. Fortunately, although Mr. Byers was dying, he had not yet died... This made Chen Lun feel depressed and secretly relieved.
This afternoon.
Chen Lun's team has advanced to the second main city of the "Yanbang No. 2" war zone, Rongshan City.
Looking at a huge red castle like a hill in the center of the distant city cluster, Chen Lun narrowed his eyes and murmured softly:
"Fortress of Hate..."
