"Yes, I received the message."
Chen Lun spoke to the faceless waiter.
He gave the other party a tip as usual and asked:
"Since the Speaker is back, I have to go to the headquarters as well. Want to join me?"
"Mr. Governor Jack, I'm very sorry. Due to the recent events, the messengers in the parliament are too busy... I also need to pass the message to other Golden Cup members. I'm sorry that I can't go with you."
The faceless waiter bowed respectfully and answered, his tone full of apology.
Chen Lun nodded and didn't force it.
After the faceless waiter left, he also used the cloud leap to go to the parliament headquarters.
After a moment.
As soon as Chen Lun entered the lobby on the first floor, he found it crowded and bustling.
Listening to the heated discussions around him and the excitement on the faces of many congressmen, he knew without asking that this was because the Kangkai Parliament, as the Empire's Orthodox Church, had helped the official accomplish a major event for the first time.
The bloody battle was won!
The unrest was suppressed, the Red Apple Church was defeated and fled, and peace was restored to the empire. Such a historic victory was the result of the joint efforts of everyone present, and the parliamentarians were proud of it.
"Master Jackspeight!"
"Mr. Archon!"
Someone noticed Chen Lun's arrival and hurriedly bowed his head to greet him.
The rest of the people followed suit and looked at him with awe and saluted.
"Good day, everyone. No need to be polite."
Chen Lun had a polite smile on his face and spoke to the parliamentarians in a friendly manner.
He walked towards the stairs, and many congressmen in suits in front of him consciously made way for him and lowered their heads to watch him pass by.
"Master Jack, this bloody battle is all thanks to you!"
As he passed by, a young congressman looked up and spoke to him excitedly.
"I admire you very much. I wonder if I can be transferred to your command and wait for your orders?"
"May I ask who you are?"
Chen Lun was a little surprised. He stopped and took a look at the other person's chest, where there was a silver badge... This was a Silver Cup MP.
"Witt, my name is Witt Ofilus..."
The young man replied quickly.
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
"Witt? Sounds familiar... Isn't he the famous assassin in version 2.0? I remember in my previous life, he was promoted to Sequence 5. In order for the Empire to recover the western territories, he went to assassinate the royal family of the United Kingdom of Anlong, but he failed and died in the end... He is a good talent."
He smiled and patted Witt's shoulder, saying softly:
"Of course, Witt, I welcome you to join me."
"Thank... Thank you, Master Jack!"
The latter's face became even more excited, and his whole body began to tremble.
"Master Jack! I want to join your army too!"
"grown ups… "
Seeing this, many nearby parliamentarians followed Witt's example.
Chen Lun's performance in this bloody battle was amazing. Not only did he provide important intelligence to the parliament and the government, indirectly saving the lives of many parliamentarians from the offensive of the "Fortress of Hate", but he also had the foresight to recruit hundreds of thousands of undead strangers to suppress the war zone at the fastest speed.
Even he himself killed the saint incarnations of the Red Apple Church one after another, and even Rafa, the Ten-Core Archbishop of the Scarlet Monastery, was ambushed and killed by him.
This made many members of parliament admire him.
Although the other archons in the Senate are saints, Lord Jackspeight, like many senators, is only a mid-sequence transcendent, which makes them feel closer to him.
“Thank you for your enthusiasm.”
Chen Lun smiled, touched his chest and nodded slightly.
"As long as you want to come, I will naturally not refuse... But we are all part of the parliament, and it is the same no matter which consul we work under."
"You are right, Master Jack."
The MPs echoed.
"There will probably be a large meeting later, so please be patient... I still have something to discuss with other consuls, so I'll take my leave now."
Chen Lun said.
Upon seeing this, the other members of parliament immediately took a step back.
He smiled and glanced at everyone, then turned, walked through the shadow curtain and went up to the second floor.
The door of the secret meeting hall opened and Chen Lun walked straight in.
The consuls of the Senate had received the news and most of them had arrived. Speaker Azgierro, as usual, sat on a high seat in the back, quietly watching the consuls' discussion.
"Jack, you're here, sit down."
The Speaker smiled and nodded at him.
"Yes, Mr. Speaker."
Chen Lun saluted Azgierro with his hands on his chest, greeted the other consuls, and then sat down in his seat.
After a while, several absent consuls arrived.
The Speaker then spoke up and announced the start of the secret meeting.
"This bloody battle has ended. Most of the Red Apple Church's high-ranking officials, led by Louisa, were killed or injured. They all fled the empire and went to the Kingdom of Beelzebub. Only some low- and middle-level clergy who didn't have time to leave were left... But we don't need to deal with them anymore."
She said softly.
"The Sun King personally met with the top leaders of the forces involved in this battle, including me... She affirmed and praised the efforts of our Kangkai Council. This is the first milestone event we have achieved since we became the Orthodox Church. It is worth celebrating and remembering."
“This is all thanks to your vision and leadership, Mr. Speaker.”
Governor Meade complimented.
But the Speaker waved his hand.
"The one who contributed the most in this battle should be Jack."
She gave Chen Lun an admiring look.
Ginsburg and others smiled at him and applauded, and Bindu even gave him a thumbs up. Houston and others fell into silence, and finally reluctantly followed the crowd in applauding.
"After the battle, our mission has not been reduced. I hope you will not slack off... As the Orthodox Church, we need to set up branch councils in various states and cities within the empire. One is to sit in a place for the empire and ensure that the local area will not be affected by mysterious events. The second is to spread the gospel for His Majesty the King of Slaughter."
The Speaker spoke slowly and she stood up.
"Generally speaking, the cities in the state city area will be managed by the shelter and two branches of the Orthodox Church. I will select six people from you to be in charge of a state city... But the royal city is an exception. The seven major Orthodox Churches must all set up branches in the royal city."
She raised her finger slightly and pointed it at Chen Lun.
"Jack, I want you to go to the Royal City in person and take charge of the Royal City Branch Council. What do you think?"
“?!”
The consuls all showed surprised expressions.
Even Ginsburg and others looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Speaker thinks too highly of Jack, doesn't he? He actually puts him in charge of the Royal City Branch Council?!
"I?"
Chen Lun was very surprised.
He stood up immediately, looking humble.
"Mr. Speaker, I am the least experienced and weakest candidate consul in the Senate. I am afraid that you will be disappointed if you entrust me with such an important task."
"You're too modest, Jack."
The Speaker smiled and shook his head.
"I believe you can do a good job... And there is another reason why I asked you to be in charge of the Royal City Branch Council."
Without her making any movement, a shadow rose on the marble round table in front of Chen Lun, and an exquisite gold-plated envelope appeared.
Chen Lun looked down and noticed a golden sword and shield mark on the upper right corner of the envelope.
"Here is your letter of selection... Your achievements in this bloody battle have been known to the senior management of the internment camp and the royal family of the Sun. Even Prince Dazlet has personally nominated you for approval."
Came the Speaker's voice.
Chen Lun looked up and saw Azgierro smiling and nodding at him.
"Congratulations, Jack. You are now a member of the Imperial Inquisition. Not only are you the first member of 'non-orthodox origin' in the history of the Trisur Empire, you are also the pride of our Council of Justice."
"Thank you, Chancellor Azgiero."
Chen Lun took a deep breath and bowed to her with emotion.
Because he knew in his heart that the Speaker had definitely made a lot of effort in order for this matter to go so smoothly.
"The 23rd of next month will be the Imperial Celebration Day. The whole country will celebrate together, and the Fire Emblem Square in the Royal City will surely be bustling with activity... At the same time, Prince Dazlet will personally award you a medal and congratulate you on joining the Imperial Inquisition."
The Speaker said, and reminded:
"So when you are ready, you can set off for the royal city to adapt to the new environment in advance."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker."
Chen Lun put away the letter of selection carefully, bowed his head and answered respectfully.
"I will do my best to live up to your expectations."
The Speaker hummed and raised his hand to signal him to sit down. He then elaborated on several important tasks of the parliament in the future, laying the general direction for development and construction.
Chen Lun just listened silently and didn't say anything else.
He felt that the appointment of the Speaker made the four Houston governors look at him more unkindly. But Ginsburg and others were happy for him from the bottom of their hearts. If the Speaker was not speaking, they would probably have opened the mythical wine to celebrate for him.
An hour later.
The secret meeting ended.
The Speaker asked the two Regents, Ginsburg and Landa, to jointly preside over the next collective meeting in the main chamber on the first floor to convey the results and general direction of the discussion to other members of the House.
The consuls who had no tasks left one after another, but Chen Lun took the initiative to stay.
"Jack, what else?"
The Speaker smiled gently.
Chen Lun asked her the questions he had prepared in advance, hoping to get answers.
"Mr. Speaker, I accidentally mastered some extraordinary knowledge above the sequence in other channels, but I can't copy it out and let my subordinates read it for promotion... I wonder if there is any way to do this?"
Azgiero was silent for a few seconds.
"Jack, do you know where super powers come from?"
Chen Lun was slightly stunned.
He thought for a moment and replied:
"Could it be... the true God?"
The Speaker shook his head again.
"So where does the power of the true god come from?"
Chen Lun suddenly fell into deep thought.
