Linbanglengye City, Kangkai Church.
That afternoon, just after dinner, two elegant people, a man and a woman, came to the door together and handed a business card to the missionary guarding the door.
The two black-robed missionaries looked at each other and saluted quickly.
"Greetings, Your Excellencies. I will go and inform Lord Jack right away."
"No need, she's already waiting for us."
Lengye City Judge Falak laughed.
After saying that, she walked in with the woman in a long robe and bun-haired hair beside her. The two missionaries behind her waited until they were far away before they heaved a sigh of relief and exchanged words in a surprised tone:
"They are the saints from the asylum and the Madman School... Did they come together to visit Master Jack?"
"I didn't expect that Master Jack would be visited by two saints from Lengye City not long after he arrived... When Master Peggy was in charge, he was never treated like this."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this..."
One of them realized that something was wrong and interrupted the topic immediately. The other one nodded in agreement and shut up.
On the church path, the great scholar Sulaya smiled and said:
"Why did you decide to visit Jack? And you brought me along..."
"I think you did it on purpose, Soraya. You clearly know the reason."
Falric shook his head.
"You and I are both very clear about the strength of the 'White Scale Dragon'. Houston has been promoted to a saint for nearly a hundred years, but he was killed in less than half an hour in front of her... Now there is another magician Carmen, which is really a headache... After all, we have been here for decades, we can't just ignore it, right?"
"well… "
Soraya sighed.
There was a hint of depth in her eyes.
"You don't understand. I can see that Jack is a seeker and has little interest in fighting... Her true self has already gone to the Kingdom of Byron. This is both her pursuit and a disguised way of reassuring us."
Falak was silent for a while, then he said in a deep voice:
"I'm sorry, it's my duty. I can't feel at ease if I just come and take a look."
"what ever."
Soraya said indifferently.
"But I advise you not to repeat to Jack what you said to Peggy... Your avatar is destroyed, but I still have a lot of research to do with my avatar."
"Don't treat me like a three-year-old."
Falak said depressedly.
The two walked straight through the open space behind the church and saw some circus officials active there. The two looked at each other, and Noah, Golov and others saluted them from a distance.
Falak and Suraya nodded in response, and then walked into the door of a large apartment. As soon as they entered, they saw a gentleman in a black hat sitting on the sofa, waiting quietly.
"Flo Yin, please go make two cups of tea."
Chen Lun said to the nun in black dress beside him.
As he said this, he kissed her on the cheek. The latter blushed, nodded obediently, and turned to go to the kitchen.
"Welcome, both of you. Please take a seat."
Chen Lun raised his hand to signal.
As soon as Falak and Sulaya sat down, Chen Lun smiled and said:
"I haven't had the chance to thank you in person, Your Majesty Suraya, but your letter of recommendation has saved me a lot of time and energy."
"Hugo is a man who can judge the situation. Even without the letter, she would agree to your Majesty's request to borrow books from the St. Byron Library."
Suraya smiled and said.
"Anyway, thank you for your help."
Chen Lun nodded in greeting.
At this time, Fuluo Yin came over with hot tea and poured a cup for the two guests. Chen Lun asked her to sit next to him, then raised his head and continued:
"I'm so sorry. I wanted to introduce my friend, Mage Carmen, to you two, but she is obsessed with the pursuit of knowledge and the study of magic, and she rarely shows up... I think Scholar Suraiya will understand this."
"certainly."
Suraya smiled and nodded.
"Although I don't know much about this Mage Carmen, as a transcendent in the path of magic, I have always been like this... 'Idlers' like me who often go out are actually a minority of the outliers."
Falrick on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.
After decades of getting along, she knew Suraya very well. This woman was also a fanatic about knowledge. If she hadn't begged her today, she would never have left the Mage Tower and come with her to visit Kangkai Church.
Seeing Falak seeming to be hesitant to speak, Chen Lun suddenly said:
"By the way, Judge Falak, I was originally planning to visit you... Since today happens to be the right time, I might as well take this opportunity to discuss this with you."
Falak looked a little confused.
"I wonder what it is?"
"It's like this... Although I have just arrived in Lengye City not long ago, I have been practicing the will of the God of Contract. I have arranged for Sister Maggie under my command to treat the 'Frost Disease' for the residents, but I think this is not enough."
Chen Lun showed pity on his face.
“Honestly, I like this place very much, whether it’s the quiet environment or the peaceful atmosphere of people’s lives… Unfortunately, due to natural disasters, many poor people are still suffering from the cold. I have seen children with no clothes on walking on the streets more than once, almost freezing to death.”
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked directly at Falak, his eyes smiling calmly.
"So I plan to donate 100,000 gold pounds to Lengye City in the name of the Kangkai Council to build schools, hospitals and shelters. What do you think, His Majesty Farak?"
Falak fell silent at first.
She glanced at Suraya inconspicuously, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
As saints, both of them were not short of money, but the fact that the other party casually took out 100,000 gold pounds to do charity was really beyond their expectations.
This is not a small amount of money!
"Your Majesty, I admire your compassion and generosity... I think this is a good thing, and I would like to express my greetings to you on behalf of the residents of Lengye City."
Falek placed his right hand on his left chest and lowered his head slightly towards Chen Lun.
"You are worthy of being the Archon of the Council of Commons. Praise the Contract."
Half an hour later.
Falak and Suraya left the Kangkai Church.
On the way, Suraya smiled teasingly:
"How is it? Have you achieved the purpose of your visit today?"
Falak was stunned at first, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
After a few seconds of silence, she stopped and looked back at the tall but not luxurious church, as if she could feel a pair of eyes staring at her calmly.
She knew in her heart that the other party might have known the purpose of her visit from the very beginning, but he expressed his attitude in an extremely tactful and gentle way.
"never mind… "
Falric let out a sigh.
"I will not bother to care about Jack anymore. I hope she is really a seeker as you said, someone who longs for stability."

Kingdom of Byron.
St Byron's College, Enlightenment Harbour.
It was a sunny afternoon with bright weather. Although the temperature did not rise, it still made people feel happy.
A makeshift picnic site had been set up on the academy's lawn, where five students, including Polaris, Lucy, and Ahsoka, were having a meal and chatting.
"Senior Polaris, your steak is ready."
Lucy was placing a grilled steak on her plate and raised it to signal with a smile.
"Thanks."
Polaris strode over, took the plate and thanked him.
"Lucy, your cooking skills are amazing. You bake very well!"
Qingtian Xiaoyu raised the fork in her hand, with the dipping sauce still on the corner of her mouth, and praised with a smile.
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior… Ahsoka, this is yours."
Lucy responded with a smile, then put a grilled fish on a plate and handed it to the girl who was waiting silently on the side. The latter politely thanked her and walked to the table with the plate.
"Everyone, I have always had a question."
Felice Nou stood by the grill, gnawing on a pork rib, and raised his eyes and said.
The others all looked over at him, and he chewed the meat in his mouth with curious expressions.
"Does anyone know how strong Professor Jack is? As far as I know, Principal Hugo is the strongest in the academy. She is a great saint. Among the other professors, Professor Janean and Professor Jeffreys are both recognized as strong. Of course, Vice Principal Stanley and Dean Julie are also very powerful..."
Felice Novo commented on the professors in a knowledgeable manner, with admiration in his eyes.
Lucy looked up at him, but pursed her lips and said nothing.
"The teacher... once threatened a saint."
Ahsoka looked up, hesitant, and spoke carefully.
"Um?"
Felice Nou gave him a surprised look.
However, Ahsoka did not speak any more, lowering her head and eating the grilled fish in small bites. Just as Felice Novo was about to ask more questions, Qingtian Xiaoyu beside her could not help it. She put down her fork and said mysteriously:
"I know how strong the teacher is!"
Except for Polaris who glanced at her speechlessly, Lucy, Ahsoka and Felice Anno all looked at her, seeming quite curious.
Qingtian Xiaoyu looked around and said in a deep voice:
"If you ask me, Principal Hugo of the academy is probably no match for Teacher Jack... She is also a high-ranking saint, and when she takes action, she is more terrifying than anyone else. I have personally seen her kill hundreds or even thousands of people at a time!"
"Senior, you are joking, right..."
Felice Novo's hand shook and the bone accidentally fell to the ground. He quickly bent down to pick it up, forcing a smile and said.
"I swear in the name of the God of Contract!"
Sunny Day and Light Rain said seriously.
"You should know about the Red Disaster of the Trisur Empire, right? It was the teacher who single-handedly killed Rafa, one of the ten cores of the Scarlet Monastery of the Red Apple Church, and ended the turmoil... At that time, at least hundreds of thousands of church members died in her hands!"
"Hiss..."
Feliceano gasped, and suddenly felt cold all over. Ahsoka, who was sitting next to him, had a similar reaction, her little head tucked into her cloak and scarf, and her two exposed eyes showed panic.
But Lucy was not afraid. Instead, she smiled with pride and admiration, her cheeks flushed, and no one knew what she was thinking.
At this time, Polaris couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he frowned and said:
"Don't listen to her. The teacher is not that scary."
Feliciano and Ahsoka were stunned and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was wondering, how could a professor who is so gentle and polite be so... "
"The teacher only killed tens of thousands of priests at most."
Polaris explained seriously.
"… "
Felice Novo's smile was stiff, and Ahsoka's big eyes beside him suddenly flashed with mist, as if tears were about to fall.
"Ahem, I... I think I've run out of food. I'll go get some more. You guys wait for me, I'll be right back."
Felice Nou was trembling, and he turned away tremblingly, and he almost slipped and fell to the ground.
