Seeing the strange look in the black cat's eyes, Flo Yin suddenly felt ashamed and angry. She had no choice but to explain:
"I just thought it was interesting."
"I think I know what you mean."
The black cat chuckled.
Flo Yin blushed and bit her lower lip, giving up the explanation.
But soon, she regained her tranquil expression and continued to stroke the black cat's soft fur. The black cat purred for a while and slowly spoke:
"I plan to stay for a while and then leave the royal city."
Flo Yin guessed something very cleverly and whispered:
"Is it dangerous here?"
"You could say..."
The black cat hesitated for a moment.
"I originally thought that being closer to the heart of the empire would allow me to grow more effectively, but the water here is much deeper than I imagined... Fortunately, I have now ascended to the Holy Throne and have enough power to protect myself. I can deal with various situations well wherever I go... Perhaps avoiding this vortex for the time being is a better choice."
He was thinking about the crown princes of the Sun Royal Family, who had all traces of their existence wiped out by the Sun King with some kind of power similar to that of the Star Angels, and how Prince Dazlet lost control and turned into a Didak insect man after his death... He was inevitably confused and somewhat sad.
Even the Silver Dragon Witch Blaise and even Lady Fredericride inevitably forgot these things, so you can imagine how big the secret is hidden behind them.
Chen Lun planned to run away with his team first, and find a remote corner to slowly develop... Now, not only has he been promoted to a high position, but he also killed Howard in a fateful battle and broke the cycle of his own destiny. Many things no longer need to be as urgent as before, and he can finally calm down and settle down.
"Well, I'll always follow you."
Flo Yin smiled and nodded.
Dinner time.
All the circus managers gathered together, but they were surprised to find that the troupe leader, Mr. Jack, was not present. Fortunately, Miss Floin explained that the troupe leader had just finished an important task and was resting upstairs. Everyone then understood.
They tacitly agreed not to make a big noise at the table so as not to disturb Mr. Jack's rest.
However, an unnoticed black cat accompanied everyone in a corner of the living room throughout the whole process...

The next day.
The nun in a black dress was holding a black cat as she slowly walked through the garden and came to the square in the church area.
Under the warm sunshine and in the comfortable breeze.
Antonio the cow, Bibo the white cat, and Dingding the little hedgehog were playing around, and even a few warriors from the black cat warrior team had taken off their weapons and joined in. The captain, Nada, watched silently from the side, his one eye occasionally scanning the surrounding corners, meaning that he never let down his guard.
Alex was lying on the lawn nearby, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, basking in the sun and humming a staccato melody. Not far from him, Noah was sitting on a small stool, meticulously painting the happy scene before him.
Connie and Maggie were not busy with work today, but were setting up parasols and preparing tea and snacks. Golov, Barton and Morey were dressed in suits and leather shoes, but were doing hard labor, helping the two ladies carry chairs and food boxes.
Seeing Miss Flo Yin coming, everyone greeted her respectfully and spoke out loud.
Flo Yin just smiled and nodded, holding the cat and strolling quietly under the shade of the tree. At this time, the black cat in her arms lazily opened one eye and hummed softly:
"We have visitors... Oh, it's Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Tote."
"Mrs. Caroline?"
Flo Yin was a little surprised.
It has been a long time since the last time we met. At that time, I was at Jack Manor in the inner city of Amber City, where I hosted Mrs. Caroline who came to visit. I didn't expect that we could meet again here after such a long time.
"Go and greet them, Flo Yin. They've been stopped by missionaries... It's not convenient for me to show up in my current state. Find an excuse to say I'm out."
Chen Lun whispered.
The missionaries he mentioned were ordinary councilors under his command. The headquarters had previously dispatched a group of them to help him manage church affairs.
"Um."
Flo Yin covered her mouth and chuckled.
Immediately, she put the black cat down and walked towards the gate of the church area alone.
Chen Lun yawned and staggered through the garden, intending to find a place to wait. But just after passing a landscape flower bush, he ran into a big black and white dog.
He looked up and saw a pair of dog eyes meeting his.
Both the cat and the dog were stunned and looked at each other in silence for a long time.
Chen Lun recognized the Border Collie as Babu.
But the other party was obviously a little abnormal at this moment, because not only did it not have that flattering spirit, but its eyes revealed an incomparable depth and calmness, which was completely different from the impression that Babu should have.
"Your Majesty Conrad?"
Chen Lun spoke tentatively.
"It's me."
The King of Slaughter spoke calmly, with a smile on his face.
She then chuckled:
"You look quite interesting today, Jack."
'You too.'
Chen Lun didn't dare to speak out loud, and only complained in his heart.
He did not ask why the King of Slaughter possessed Babu, nor did he directly inquire about the other party's purpose of coming here. He just raised his paw tacitly and pointed to the side as if receiving a distinguished guest.
"Your Majesty, this way please."
"Um."
The King of Slaughter nodded.
A cat and a dog walked slowly across the lawn, gracefully passing under the shade of the trees.
As they walked, Bian Mu spoke at the right time:
"Jack, I came to you this time because I have a favor to ask you..."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
The black cat whispered.
The Border Collie stopped, and at this time the cat and the dog just came to the edge of the square. They could see the circus cadres having fun, but none of them noticed the two.
"I want to hunt an angel, are you interested?"
Bian Mu asked casually.
The tone was as if it was asking Chen Lun if he was interested in going out with it to have some fun, perhaps climbing over the neighbor's fence or rolling in a mud puddle.
The black cat was stunned.
Immediately, he showed difficulty and replied in a deep voice:
“Your Majesty, you think too highly of me… I have just been promoted to a high position, and my strength is only Sequence 4. How can I be qualified to participate in your hunting?”
As he spoke, Chen Lun's heart was stirred.
He didn't expect that His Majesty the King of Slaughter was planning to look for his next target shortly after he killed the "Death Twins", two angels on the same path.
"You're very modest, Jack. I like your disposition."
The Border Collie raised its front legs and gently placed them on the black cat's shoulders.
Those eyes were filled with satisfaction and smiles.
"But you underestimate yourself. You are now qualified to sit at the table... Of course, there is no rush to talk about this. You can listen to it first and then make a decision."
"Please go ahead."
Chen Lun calmed himself down and said respectfully.
The King of Slaughter turned his head and looked at the people in the square, and his voice came slowly:
"My target is Dolomypurnes... Flesh and blood and conspiracy are adjacent paths, so I can use the only divinity in her."
"Former Pope of the Red Apple Church?"
Chen Lun was very surprised, and immediately asked in confusion:
"Hasn't she fallen?"
"Fallen... No, although she cannot be called the servant of Lady Rose, she is better than the most favored one. Do you know her honorific name? One of her titles is 'Rose Gardener', which shows her status under the command of the True God of Flesh and Blood... So when Judilia took revenge, she only wiped out most of the Ten Cores of the Scarlet Monastery, and only Dolomypurnes returned to the kingdom of God. Her only divinity did not fall, but was nurtured by Lady Rose in the garden again."
The King of Killing said indifferently.
Chen Lun knew that the "Judelia" she mentioned was the real name of Ms. Dark, and he had heard about this incident before... Soon, he thought of the main plot of version 1.0, "Scarlet Festival". At that time, the Red Apple Church launched such a big fuss just to resurrect the former Pope through ritual means.
"Hasn't the Red Apple Church's ritual been destroyed..."
Chen Lun murmured.
"Haha, Jack, that's just a trick of the Rose Royal Family... Do you really think they are going to complete the ceremony? No, that's just an appearance. In fact, they have been secretly planning for many years. They just took advantage of the situation by launching the 'Red Disaster'. The real purpose is to accumulate enough nutrients to bloom that bright red rose."
The King of Slaughter shook his head and explained.
After hearing this, Chen Lun suddenly had an idea in his mind:
“Sinful blood! The real purpose of the Red Apple Church is not to complete the ritual, but to stir up killing and accumulate sinful blood… Yes, in the previous life, the ‘Scarlet Festival’ ritual was completed, but in the end, it was just Madam Rose who performed a miracle, causing heavy losses to the empire. Now it seems that it is just a means to delay time!”
"Dolomipurnes will be resurrected in the near future, and will be reborn as a descendant of a duke of the Rose Royal Family... At that time, she will regain her power, but the authority is unique. As a new carrier, she will have a period of weakness, and that will be the opportunity to take action."
The King of Slaughter described his plan in a light-hearted manner, then turned to look at him, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Hunters naturally need to be patient, and I don't mind waiting... You have proven your worth to me, Jack, and I cordially invite you to my murder feast."
You have triggered the S-rank side quest: Murder Feast!
Mission description: Conrad, the King of Slaughter, intended to plot against Dolomypurnes's sole divinity. He brutally murdered Dolomypurnes during his weak period of rebirth, and completely wiped out the former pope of the Red Apple Church and the rose gardener... You have successfully ascended to the holy throne and have been recognized by the King of Slaughter, who now cordially invites you to participate.
(Note: Refusal to do so will result in serious consequences!)
Mission objective: Kill Dolomypurnes (reborn), and Conrad obtains the only divinity.
Mission rewards: 50,000,000 experience points, 100,000 gold pounds, 4 blessing points, 100 regional fame points, Conrad's favorability and unknown rewards.
Chen Lun looked at the task prompt box that suddenly popped up, took a deep breath, and fell into deep thought.
The King of Slaughter did not urge them, but just watched the activities of the circus people with interest.
After a while.
The black cat spoke slowly:
"Your Majesty Conrad, the White-Scaled Dragon Jackspeight is willing to participate in your feast!"
