Today's dinner is particularly sumptuous.
It was not only to celebrate Noah's safe return, but also to show respect to His Majesty Blaise and Rosa.
Noah's health had recovered well, and his appetite at the dinner table was even better than before, which made his caring companions sincerely happy.
There was a small episode in the middle. During the meal, His Majesty Blaise expressed his praise for Floin's cooking skills, and also joked that perhaps Chen Lun did not agree to let her marry Rosa because Rosa could not cook.
These words caused exclamations from everyone present.
The team leaders all showed curious expressions. They wanted to ask questions but did not dare to. They exchanged glances with each other, and the atmosphere was extremely weird for a while.
Especially Maggie, her face was full of gossip, and she wanted to grab Noah and ask him what happened at that time.
Rosa chewed her food gracefully without showing any embarrassment. She pinched Noah, who was snickering, and joined her mother in praising Flo Yin's cooking skills.
"Although this is not the first time I have tasted Miss Floin's craftsmanship, I am always pleasantly surprised every time... If I were Mr. Jack, I would probably fall in love with you too."
Rosa smiled charmingly and flicked her silver hair.
"I just don't know when I can attend your wedding?"
She asked politely, looking with interest at Chen Lun sitting in the main seat and Fuluoyin on his left hand.
"… "
Chen Lun had just swallowed a mouthful of food when he looked up and found that everyone at the table was looking at him.
"Hey, it's almost there."
“Wow!”
Anton sat in a huge chair, chewing a grass-fed burger and howling exaggeratedly. Although he didn't quite understand what the wedding was about, he felt that it was important to Mr. Jack, so he was happy to participate in it.
Chen Lun shook his head helplessly.
Immediately, his powerful perception clearly detected Fuluoyin's smile, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Chen Lun gently reached out and held her little hand.
Fuluo Yin was slightly startled, then she looked up and saw the other person's smile, as well as his sincere and comforting eyes. The slight sense of loss in her heart dissipated and turned into warmth.
After dinner.
Chen Lun personally escorted His Majesty Blaise and Miss Rosa out of the church area. Before the two boarded the carriage, Blaise expressed his gratitude to Chen Lun.
"Jack, Noah's safe return is also due to your efforts. The Sun King will compromise this time, and the attitude of the Kangkai Council is very important. If you hadn't been promoted at the critical moment, killed Houston, and regained the right to speak... then the final result might have been different."
"Since Noah has sworn to follow me, I will definitely not sit idly by."
Chen Lun smiled and shook his head.
Blaise gave him a long look.
"Remember what I said, and try not to explore the secrets of the royal family anymore. The sun... is dangerous after all."
"I will keep that in mind, Your Majesty."
Chen Lun nodded.
Blaise finally raised his right hand and placed it gently on his chest.
"Goodbye, Your Majesty Jack."
This was her expression of respect for a strong man of the same level.
The carriage slowly moved away.
Chen Lun watched him disappear into the night.
Just as he was about to turn around and go back, the air around him began to twist.
A sculpture covered with green crystals slowly walked out from the spirit world. It said nothing but handed over a letter directly.
Chen Lun recognized it. It was a sculpture of Miss Rider Tracy. Now it seemed that it was probably conveying some message to the other party.
After taking the letter, Chen Lun opened it with some doubts.
In the letter, Ms. Fredetri expressed her hope that he would go to the Meteor Tower to thank him in person for rescuing her student Carmen.
Chen Lun looked thoughtful.
'It just so happens... My abilities have been improved across the board after my promotion. I have some ideas and guesses about developing my skills, and I can ask this knowledgeable wizard for advice. Magic and fate are close, and many aspects can be applied to each other.'
After he made up his mind, he found that the sculpture messenger had not left.
I suddenly remembered what Carmen had said before. Her messenger did not need gold pounds as a reward, but energy crystals. Since he was taught by Ms. Frederic, the messenger's needs should be the same.
Chen Lun then tentatively took out two finger-sized dragon stones and handed them in front of the sculpture.
The latter took it swiftly and threw it directly into his mouth, chewing it up and swallowing it with two crunches. In the process, horrible red and black electric arcs burst out and crackled, but it didn't seem to be affected. Instead, it nodded "excitedly", as if it was quite satisfied with the reward.
However, when the sculpture messenger left, Chen Lun discovered that some red lines seemed to begin to spread out from the blue crystals on its body, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

late at night.
A carriage carrying corpses slowly drove out of the lower city of the royal city and headed east along the main road in the suburbs.
Less than 100 kilometers away from the Royal City, there is a small town called "Guangming Town", where there is the largest public cemetery in the surrounding area. The Royal City is very expensive, and after thousands of years of development and evolution, there is no extra cemetery to bury ordinary civilians. So if someone dies in the lower city, most of them will be prayed by the monks of the Moon Church, and then arranged to be sent to Guangming Town for burial.
There are even specialized companies that are responsible for this funeral service.
The carriage was slowly moving on the main road, and apart from the driver, there were only two employees of the "Dedai Funeral Company" accompanying it.
The two employees were smoking in the carriage, and one of the younger male employees looked behind him from time to time, as if there was something suspicious about the neatly stacked coffins.
"Come on Rick, stop looking at those dead people. Are you afraid they will jump out of their coffins and bite you?"
The older one exhaled smoke and teased with a smile.
Young Rick retorted:
"If they really want to bite, they'll bite you, Nasr. You threw the bodies around randomly during the daytime transportation. You even broke Mrs. Sanita's arm... The company explicitly asked us to place them carefully."
"Company, company... You keep talking about the company's rules. When I first came here, I followed the rules like you, but after all these years, it's still the same. Who will really keep an eye on you?"
Nasr, a veteran employee, said nonchalantly.
He took the last puff of his cigarette, threw the butt out of the window reluctantly, and then said jokingly:
"Bite me, bite me. It's better to bite my dick. It's a pity that Mrs. Sanita died in her thirties. How could that damn gas explosion happen in the commercial street in the downtown area..."
As he spoke, Nasr shook his head, as if regretting that beautiful face.
At this moment, Rick turned around again.
Nasr kicked him in dissatisfaction and cursed with a smile:
"Is there something wrong with you kid? Stop being so jumpy!"
"No! I really saw a coffin move!"
Rick said nervously.
Nasr cursed and was about to say something.
winter!
There was a sudden muffled sound from the pile of coffins at the back of the carriage, and the whole carriage seemed to tremble.
"Fuck!"
Nasr cursed in panic.
Rick was so scared that he held his head and prayed, apologizing repeatedly and praying to the sun god.
The carriage slowly stopped. The driver was a slightly plump middle-aged man. He opened the curtain of the carriage in panic and asked the two people about the situation.
"What's going on?! I seemed to hear some noise just now, even the horses were startled!"
"God knows!"
Nasr said this, then pulled Rick out of the carriage.
The three of them walked around to the back of the carriage, unfastened the metal buckle, and pulled down the baffle. A dozen coffins were neatly stacked, but the one on top was a little crooked.
"That's it! That's what I saw moving!"
Rick pointed quickly.
"Shut up! Come over here and give me a hand!"
Nasr glared at him, then climbed into the carriage, and the three of them worked together to drag the coffin down.
But soon, Nasr frowned.
"Why don't I remember this coffin?"
He took out his cigarette box irritably, lit up another one, and said to the other two while smoking:
“Open it and take a look!”
"This is not good. Company regulations..."
Rick resisted a little, but before he could finish his words, Nasr had already stuffed the tool into his arms.
Finally, they were unable to persuade the old employee, so they pried open one side of the coffin lid and then turned it over.
“Oh…Oh my god!”
The driver was so frightened that he stepped back and sat down on the ground.
"This is?!"
Nasr looked at the scene in the coffin in the moonlight and couldn't help but gasp, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.
There was a headless corpse inside!
However, the corpse had obviously undergone some changes. Various parts of the body were severely swollen, and it even kept making strange squirming sounds!
"He is a prince! His Royal Highness Prince Dazlet!"
Rick screamed.
He pointed at a head in the corner of the coffin, his facial features distorted in fear.
"The prince was beheaded this morning, but how did his body end up here?!"
Nasr just felt a chill down his spine.
Peng!
Immediately there was a loud bang.
The headless corpse in the coffin suddenly exploded, countless disgusting blood clots flew everywhere, and a huge monster five or six meters tall rose from the ground.
In the darkness, all I could see was a headless monster with two long and large mantis-like blade arms. Its entire body was leaning forward like a deformed insect, and its body surface even reflected a silver metallic luster.
The three of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they dared not move.
However, in the following night, hysterical screams rang out.

The next morning.
Chen Lun left his avatar behind and immediately flew to the Augusta Mountains using the clouds.
After being promoted to a saint, he no longer needed to rely on the B-level monster - the stand-in as a scaffold, and could directly create his own "extraterrestrial body". Although its comprehensive strength was only about 10% of his own, it definitely surpassed his former self, and was even far inferior to the ordinary saint incarnations.
Leaving it in the church area is more than enough to handle some unexpected situations.
The most important point is that Chen Lun discovered that his incarnation was different from other saint incarnations in that he could share all the perceptions and information of the incarnation in real time.
He suspected that this was due to passive multitasking, but he couldn't be sure. If so, then this was a unique advantage of the Destiny Path.
In addition, after Cloud Leap's transformation, he can now cross a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant, and it would probably take less than a minute to cross the entire empire.
This is quite a terrifying power.
It must be extremely difficult to hunt down a high-ranking person in the Destiny Department.
It took less than twenty seconds to go out.
Chen Lun's figure had already appeared in the Augusta Mountains. He stopped in mid-air and saw the Meteor Tower built under the crater again.
He adjusted his hat, flew to the door with his silver cane, and knocked on it.
Knock knock.
Not long after, the door slowly opened.
The person who opened the door was not the sculpture messenger, but a woman with long blue-purple hair and wearing a simple linen robe. It was Lady Fredetri.
Before Chen Lun opened his mouth to greet him, he saw the other party frowning slightly and said:
"Jack, what did you feed my courier? It came back paralyzed!"
