Thanks to the dual role of sending money and letters, Fred Cui's favorability towards Chen Lun has reached a close level. This is equivalent to another way and connections for Chen Lun.
Under the gaze of Fred Cui, Chen Lun showed a humble expression and bowed slightly.
But in my mind I thought:
'The rewards of this letter delivery trip are not small. In addition to getting to know this big shot, there is also a pile of extraordinary cigarettes that restore sanity, and an A-level mission to find Carmen. '
This put him in a good mood.
Frederic was smoking a cigarette and suddenly said:
"Okay Jack, I'm going to start today's daily research. If you have nothing else to do, please leave first."
Chen Lun raised his brows, giving the impression that he was abandoned casually after being used by others, but he only complained a few words in his heart and remained respectful on the surface.
"Okay, Ms. Frederic."
He answered softly.
The other party nodded and ignored Chen Lun. Instead, he stood up and walked to the bookcase. He took out a large book and examined it. When Chen Lun saw this, he knew it was not advisable to stay any longer, so he turned around and walked down the stairs and left. Meteor Tower.
Saint Rutina and Noah Anton are still waiting on the obsidian in the crater.
Chen Lun flew over in the air.
In mid-air, he turned back and took one last look at the Meteor Tower. It still stood under the crater, like a watcher who had been silent for countless years in front of the ancient abyss.
"Is the matter done?"
Rutina asked softly.
Chen Lun nodded.
"It's done, let's go."
"Okay, then we won't go back to the Land of the Holy Tree. After leaving Coleridge Forest, we will go directly to the royal city of Tourmaline Kloster."
Rutina put one hand on her hips and fidgeted with the cocked cowboy hat on her head with the other.
Chen Lun did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

Everyone returned to Olivares, a small town built near Coleridge Forest.
In the White Ou Travel Agency, the girl with golden twin-tails was still busy behind the counter, introducing the mystery and wonder of Coleridge Forest to the new batch of tourists, and seemed to be preparing for the next trip.
Apparently the previous couple and the five students had made it out safely.
"She looks a lot like me, doesn't she?"
Under a big tree outside Baiou Travel Agency, Lutina looked at the girl and said to Chen Lun and others. She smiled and explained:
"This is what I looked like when I was young."
Chen Lun secretly guessed the purpose of the Holy Maiden, and echoed:
"Very cute and beautiful."
"Thanks."
Rutina glanced at him and smiled.
"Actually, this is a life I created unintentionally when I was just promoted to [Natural Faction Sequence Three - Creator]... She has her own personality and thoughts, and her own life. I treat her like my own daughter. , I don’t want her to know too much, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles, so I almost never disturb her life.”
She shook her head slightly with emotion.
"But because she lives near the forest after all, she inevitably knows some things about the mysterious realm and the Natural Cult... Let's go. It's enough to come out and see her in person."
After saying this, the saint took the lead and left the place.
Chen Lun silently took Noah Anton and followed closely.
After everyone left, "Rutina" who was explaining the travel precautions suddenly turned her head and looked out the door with a puzzled look on her face. She seemed to have felt a kind look just now, but it was fleeting.
Shaking her head, she thought it might be her imagination, so she stopped worrying about it.
The smile returned to his face and he sold some cheap souvenirs in the store to the tourists.

"You seem to be in a bad mood?"
Chen Lun asked as he walked behind Lutina.
The saint glanced back at him and shook her head.
"It's just some feelings... After our transcendental beings are promoted to high positions, we will gain a variety of almost miraculous powers. However, under the constraints of extraordinary laws, human nature will gradually undergo unknown changes and move toward divinity."
She patiently said to Chen Lun and her student Noah:
"Sounds good, right? But divinity is actually the product of losing too much reason and abandoning emotions... Some of my old friends and I have discussed this matter. If in order to obtain supreme power, If we have lost our original bottom line as a human being, does such a position of power still have value?"
Chen Lun couldn't help but think deeply after hearing the saint's words.
If one can be called a god without humanity, then what is the point of such a god?
"So in order to maintain their own sanity, high-ranking people will try their best to avoid taking action and only rely on incarnations to walk in the world... and at the same time develop their own believers and power, so as to gain enough sanity and share the pollution?"
Chen Lun asked.
Lutina glanced at him in surprise, then nodded.
"Yes, this is the most common method used by people in high positions... Of course, there are also some people in high positions who don't care about human nature. They are strong-willed people and the most pious martyrs. In order to go further, they don't care about reason and pollution... …But the results are probably not good.”
She gave Chen Lun another typical example:
"The true god of the Conspiracy Path, Bancroft, is also commonly known as the 'Old Man Burying Bones' or the 'God of Death'. She belongs to this type of existence... Rumor has it that she was born in the Fourth Age, and has been in the form of a mythical creature since she became a god. He moved around and frequently used his own power, eventually losing his humanity completely. Outside the gap between the spirit world and the dream world, he weaved spider webs all day long, driven by instinct to connect all the worlds together in an attempt to create a complete big world."
Rutina was silent for a few seconds.
"Perhaps this was actually the ultimate goal she pursued, but because of this, she touched the fundamental interests of other true gods and eventually fell."
Chen Lun was a little surprised.
It turns out that this is the truth behind the death of the old man who buried the bones...
Want to connect all the different worlds such as the real world, the spiritual world, and the dream world together with spider webs? Why on earth would she do this?
And which true god was it that killed her in the first place?
Gods cannot fall easily. Chen Lun knows this truth, so maybe several true gods join forces?
"Actually, you know too much now, and it doesn't help you."
Lutina looked at Chen Lun thoughtfully and said aloud.
"But I can tell you that the secret truth of this lost era has actually been recorded in a few mythical items... The 'Monument of Destiny' in your hand is one of them. After you put it together, you will naturally He who knows the answer."
"That's it. Thank you for your answer, Miss Lutina."
Chen Lun nodded.
He was not surprised that the other party knew that he had the "Monument of Destiny" in his hand. After all, Mrs. Elk would give him the fragments of the main part, which was probably for this reason.
They are not ordinary high-ranking people. It is normal for them to have their own unclear means of obtaining information.
While walking, Rutina's appearance suddenly changed.
From the original image of a brave and brave hunter in a windbreaker, he gradually transformed into a petite girl only about 1.6 meters tall. At the same time, the cowboy hat on his head was also replaced by a beret.
The long golden hair braided itself into two ponytails, looking exactly like the girl from Baiou Travel Agency.
"Change your image and start."
Lutina's facial features immediately became childish and cute. She smiled lively and strode forward.
Chen Lun was a little surprised, but didn't say anything.
Perhaps this is Rutina's true character, which is more out-of-the-box, but it may also be a way of practice for her to resist divinity and maintain her humanity.

Maple Leaf City, where the town of Olivares is located, is not far from the Royal City.
However, everyone did not use extraordinary means to hurry up. This was what Lutina requested, because she wanted to take this opportunity to guide Noah in painting the scenery along the way.
So Chen Lun came forward in person and rented a carriage from a carriage shop. Three people and an ox took the carriage and drove on the main road.
A week passed like this.
On March 1st, the carriage drove into a small town called Guangming Town.
This is the nearest town outside the royal city of Tourmaline Kloster, less than a hundred kilometers away. At the same time, Guangming Town is also the place where Chen Lun and the circus members agreed to meet.
Everyone got off the carriage, and Chen Lun asked the carriage driver to return on his own.
Lutina was finishing borrowing Noah's latest oil painting. After making a few comments, she came to Chen Lun.
"Jack, I plan to take Noah to visit the surrounding area first, and then go to the Royal City after a while..."
Chen Lun glanced at Noah, who was looking forward to it.
"In this case, Noah will be left to you, Miss Lutina."
He said with a smile, and then told Noah:
"I will meet up with other members of the team later. Let's meet again after you return to the royal city..."
"Okay, Mr. Jack."
Noah nodded seriously.
Lutina said nothing more, led Noah and said goodbye to Chen Lun.
At first glance, the two of them looked like two young girls on a trip, not a teacher and a student. Chen Lun shook his head and sighed, patted the forehead of Anton next to him, and strode forward along the street.
Perhaps because of its proximity to the Royal City, this town has a large population and is as prosperous as an average city. The shops along the street are gorgeously decorated, with colorful signs and the latest style of flashing signboards.
Carriages and pedestrians came and went, making it very lively.
Chen Lun brought a cow with him, which attracted quite a lot of attention. Fortunately, within a few steps, three men in suits and leather shoes trotted over and saluted him respectfully, stroking their chests.
"Captain!"
Golov said hello in a pleasant tone.
The circus members have the "pale mark" buried by Chen Lun. As long as Chen Lun is willing, both parties can sense each other's location.
When approaching Guangming Town, Chen Lun used the "Pale Seal" to inform them in advance that the three Golovs were obviously here to take over.
"How long have you been here?"
Chen Lun asked with a smile and nod.
"You arrived the day before yesterday. Miss Floyin and others are waiting for you at the hotel. Please come with me."
Golov said.
