'Your Majesty, the King of Slaughter, is paying so much attention to me?!'
Chen Lun held his breath.
He was somewhat flattered by the information the Speaker told him.
After all, the only connection between him and the King of Slaughter was a "murder commission". At that time, the "Milna Blood Wine" he put into the club was noticed by her. In return, she personally killed the "Bone Withering Monk" Jerome and his Red Rose Team.
This alone might not be enough to make a conspiracy angel look at me differently.
Chen Lun secretly guessed that there might be some secrets that he didn't know about.
"Jack, although I am surprised that my king cares about you, I never doubt it... So I also believe that there must be some special qualities in you that my king likes."
The Speaker smiled.
Then, she gently raised her hand, and a shadow rose from her palm like smoke, and a goblet slowly appeared. The goblet was filled with blood-red wine that exuded a strange dark golden luster.
"Drink it and go to the kingdom of my king... She wishes to see you."
The Speaker's voice was slow and gentle, yet at the same time solemn and unquestionable.
Chen Lun took a deep breath and took the wine glass.
In this situation, he had no choice, but he was not too worried... After all, if such a high-ranking person wanted to harm him, there was no need to resort to trickery.
A prompt popped up on the panel. This was a glass of extraordinary wine called Red Invitation. The quality was so high that it made Chen Lun astonished... The description also wrote at the end that this glass of wine would trigger strong spiritual fluctuations and be summoned to an unknown place.
'The Kingdom of God under the Lord of Slaughter...'
Chen Lun’s thoughts were racing.
Immediately, under the gaze of Speaker Azgiero, he raised his head and drank the red wine.
Gulu…
Drink it all in one gulp.
Chen Lun immediately felt that a mysterious power was slowly emerging from the complex and mellow fragrance.
You drank the mythical wine "Red Invitation", Willpower +20, Insight +20, Spirituality is abnormally sharp... Duration 600 seconds!
boom!
A strong sense of drunkenness suddenly came over me!
Chen Lun found that his vision became blurry and distorted, and his attention became a little vague.
The next second, he felt like he was flying. No, he looked back and found that his body was still sitting at the marble round table in the secret meeting room, leaning on the high-back chair with his eyes closed.
It was like falling into a deep sleep.
Next to his body, the Speaker stood silently with his hands behind his back, looking up and making eye contact with him.
She smiled and nodded.
stop-
Chen Lun saw that his field of vision suddenly shrank forward, and the entire secret meeting hall reached the end of his sight and then collapsed... He realized that it was not that the scene was being pushed away, but that he was being dragged away at an extremely fast speed.
Countless images passed by him like shooting stars.
Chen Lun looked around curiously and shocked, imprinting this scene deeply in his mind, and tried to comprehend and ponder...
I don’t know how much time has passed.
He suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, as if he was at the bottom of the abyss of the sea, being submerged and squeezed by the endless sea water around him. Chen Lun tried to use "spiritual breath" to change the way of breathing... But he failed, because any extraordinary biological characteristics could not be used at this moment.
'I am not moving in a physical form now...'
Chen Lun suddenly understood.
So in the haze, he relied on his instinct to "swim" upwards, eager to breathe.
Crash!
Finally, he broke through the water and felt a warm and comfortable breeze.
The suffocating feeling suddenly disappeared.
Chen Lun opened his eyes and found himself floating in a blood-red lake of wine. On the edge of the "lake of wine" was a circle of translucent high walls rising from the ground.
'No, that's not right... I'm actually in a wine glass!'
After taking a quick look around, he immediately thought of something and his face turned suspicious.
Suddenly.
The seemingly translucent wall was actually the inner wall of the wine glass. A "man" appeared outside, blocking out the sun and sky. Chen Lun could only vaguely see the man's upper body and hands, with his face obscured by darkness.
The other person seemed to be wearing a red and black tuxedo and white gloves on his hands.
That familiar chuckle came.
"Jack..."
Conrad, the King of Killing, revealed Chen Lun's name.
"You're pretty good."
"Your Majesty, the King of Slaughter."
Chen Lun was floating on the water, not knowing how to salute, so he could only respectfully address the other person.
The huge figure remained motionless.
But I saw that the big hand wearing a white glove held up the entire "wine lake".
Chen Lun felt that a dazzling light appeared outside the translucent high wall, as if a sun was slowly rising at the end of the sea level.
In the light, an irregular door was vaguely opened, and the scene inside the door was filled with countless white fabrics - it was a dilapidated world covered by spider webs!
"Did you see it? That's the 'Spider Web Hell' outside the rift... It only exists in the gap between the spirit and the dream, and it is also the kingdom of God where the old man buried his bones once lived."
The Slaughter King's calm voice echoed overhead.
Chen Lun looked at the dead silent world and felt a chill coming over him.
If he had not drunk the "Red Invitation" wine in advance, which greatly increased his willpower, just staring at that world would cause his sanity to drop drastically and his spirituality to be damaged.
"Your Majesty?"
Chen Lun squinted his eyes; the intense pain caused tears to flow uncontrollably.
He didn't understand why the King of Slaughter presented him with that strange and terrifying world.
"You played a key role in this incident, allowing me to become one of the empire's true gods."
The King of Slaughter said slowly.
"You may not understand what this means now, but I have to accept your kindness... For me, the position of God has freed my hands and cut off the shackles of madness, allowing me to finally -"
She smiled pleasantly.
"Let's have a grand murder!"
boom!
Outside the translucent high wall, in the world inside the light gate, two huge, twisted, slender monster shadows suddenly appeared on the barren land covered with countless pale spider webs.
They were so dark that their faces could not be seen clearly. Behind each of them were seven long, crooked, segmented shadows that floated to the sky, like cracks cutting through the world.
A terrifying name suddenly popped up in Chen Lun's mind—
Death Twins!
His eyes widened, and then he understood the meaning of the King of Slaughter's words.
'It was because of my help that the Murder Club was able to successfully ascend to the seat of the True God Church, and Her Majesty the King of Slaughter became the biggest beneficiary... She became a True God.'
Chen Lun was in a daze.
'Now, she has gained unknown benefits from her position as a true god, allowing her to go all out to deal with her angel-level enemy, the Death Twins, who are also part of the conspiracy.'
The door of light slowly closed and the light faded.
After a while.
The King of Slaughter chuckled.
"Whether you understand or not, I have told you. To borrow the words of 'Huan Gong' that have been passed down to the world, fate is a circle. There must always be a beginning and an end... Go, I hope that when we meet next time, you will have been crowned as a saint."
Ding Dong!
There was a crisp sound of wine glasses clinking.
Chen Lun's vision became blurred again...

When he woke up again.
I found myself back in the headquarters of the Kangkai Council, in the secret meeting room on the second floor.
The Speaker has disappeared.
In the entire spacious conference hall, he was the only one left, sitting on a high-backed chair.
In front of me was a marble round table with a diameter of tens of meters, smooth as a mirror and reflecting the light.
The environment is silent.
Chen Lun slowly exhaled the alcohol and felt dizzy.
He rubbed his temple, feeling something new in his mind.
After a few breaths.
A series of honorific names pointing to the King of Slaughter suddenly appeared, and linked to them was a blessing—
You have been appreciated by Conrad, the King of Killing, who has bestowed upon you the blessing of "bloodthirstiness"!
Bloodthirstiness LV1 (Blessing)
Blessing description: Conrad, the King of Killing, casts an expectant gaze on you, allowing you to forget yourself in killing, grow in killing, and achieve great things in killing.
Blessing Effect: Greatly improve the control over one's own killing intent, strength, dexterity, endurance and will +2! (This effect is affected by the desire to kill. The stronger the killing intent, the stronger the effect, but not more than double the increase.)
Chen Lun was surprised by this blessing.
'This is a great blessing for me! '
He thought to himself, feeling extremely happy.
Not to mention that this blessing adds up to 8 points of attribute improvement, the control of killing intent is very important to him. After all, when he puts on the Barag armor, the strong desire to kill will surge into his mind uncontrollably, which is quite torturous.
Now that he has the "bloodthirsty nature", he can control himself freely.
And the huge killing desire brought by the Balagu Armor can also greatly increase the effect of this blessing. The two are like a perfect couple that complement each other!
'The murder trafficker, the killer protector, the witness of the contract... The great king of murder, His Majesty Conrad... Thank you for your patronage and your blessing...'
Chen Lun closed his eyes and lowered his head, silently praying to the King of Killing in his heart.
Immediately, he opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
'This way, that precious 1 blessing point can finally come in handy!'
Chen Lun called out the panel and used the blessing points on the newly acquired "Bloodlust".
bite!
Bloodthirst LV2 (Blessing)
Blessing Effect: Greatly improve the control over one's own killing intent, strength, dexterity, endurance and will +4! (This effect is affected by the desire to kill. The stronger the killing intent, the stronger the effect, but not more than double the increase.)
"Just double it!"
Chen Lun grinned.
He did not stay in the meeting hall for long. After briefly checking the panel, he stood up and left.
In the large meeting hall on the first floor, the "first meeting" that convened most of the members of parliament had already begun for a while. The hall was empty except for the faceless waitress.
However, Chen Lun did not intend to join in the fun and chose to return to the winery directly.
Next, he must hurry to the Wonderland Crystal Mountains to obtain the last part of Sequence 5 - the extraordinary knowledge of the juggler, and then prepare to complete the assessment assigned by the Speaker!
