A figure disappeared in mid-air.
The "Darkborn" below were completely unaware.
In an instant, Chen Lun crossed thousands of kilometers and arrived at the north of the underground world, which corresponds to the location of the Coleridge Forest on the surface.
'The "exit" that the queens of all generations have found is right here...'
He flew straight up.
Soon, they touched the rock wall of the dome.
The extremely hard black rock layer reminded Chen Lun of the landform of the Crystal Mountains in Fairyland. Most people could not do anything with this kind of rock, let alone dig it. Even skilled miners could not open a crack after working all day.
However, after a few minutes of searching, Chen Lun found a large hole with a diameter of more than ten meters.
This hole seemed to be formed naturally, and was later discovered by successive queens, who gradually expanded it.
Chen Lun entered the cave and continued to fly upwards.
After ascending for about a hundred kilometers, the tunnel gradually became narrower, the rock walls were covered with uneven obsidian, and the extension direction was also tilted towards the northwest.
'This direction...'
As Chen Lun flew, he seemed to have thought of something.
Soon, after another series of twists and turns, he arrived at a spacious but hot cave.
The temperature around was extremely high, probably reaching 70 or 80 degrees, and you could smell a strong, pungent smell of sulfur.
Relying on his inhuman physical strength, Chen Lun ignored the harsh environment and even gave up breathing. He went around the cave again and found the exit.
boom!
As soon as he went out, his vision suddenly became clear.
The originally endless darkness turned into a blazing red world.
This is a hellish scene!
The magma of the ocean covered the land, bubbling and flowing freely. There were also protruding obsidian pillars standing in the magma, resisting the lava waterfalls falling from the sky.
The sound of crashing was incessant.
Toxic gases and high temperatures filled the air.
"It's actually a magma layer?"
Chen Lun was secretly shocked.
He looked up at the top of the lava land and saw a huge crack leading straight to the sky. Faintly, he could see "white spots" as small as rice grains.
This white dot is the "exit" leading to the surface!
Chen Lun's speculation became stronger and stronger.
He was almost certain that this so-called "exit" was most likely located in the Augusta Mountains... and there was only one active crater, which was where the Meteor Tower was!
Queens of all generations were stopped here.
So the "gatekeeper" they said was sent by the fierce father to suppress the land of Matthew -
Ms. Frederick!
"I should have thought of this earlier. In the two previous missions I accepted, Ms. Frederic was called "Gatekeeper"... but I never thought about it in this way."
Chen Lun's heart sank.
whoosh!
His figure soared into the air and flew straight towards the exit.
Soon, Chen Lun saw lines of blue-green inscriptions appearing on the rock wall. They were so dense that they sealed the entire crater tightly... With his current magical attainments, he could also tell that many key nodes had been renovated.
This was the original work of Master Carmen.
With a sidelong glance, I saw an old wizard's tower sitting on a protrusion of the rock wall, and its base was covered with crystals of various colors.
At the door, stood a slim and mature figure.
However, the other party's originally solemn expression froze when he saw Chen Lun, and then he looked puzzled.
"Jack?"
Chen Lun teleported to Ms. Fredetri's presence.
He took off his hat and nodded.
"Hello again, Ms. Fredetri."
"I didn't expect... that you have already been promoted to demigod."
Fredetri's eyes were filled with shock, and then a complex emotion flowed through them. She frowned and asked:
"Why did you come out of the crater? Could it be..."
Chen Lun did not hide it and nodded in acknowledgement.
"Well, I went to the underground world by accident, and then found this exit through divination."
He asked tentatively:
"Ms. Frederic, is the duty you are talking about to guard the exit and prohibit the residents of Matthew's Land from leaving the underground and coming to the surface?"
Ms. Frederic did not answer immediately.
She just sighed, turned and walked into the Meteor Tower.
"Come in and talk."
Chen Lun put his hat back on and followed him in.
Not long.
The two sat down in the attic on the top floor.
Chen Lun also took the opportunity to repeat what the Queens of Matthew said, that is, "the gatekeepers sent by Liefu will punish the land of Matthew."
Unexpectedly, Ms. Fredetri sneered at this.
"What relationship do I have with the True God of the Sun?"
She was silent for a while.
Perhaps because of the close relationship between the two, Ms. Frederic explained:
"This is the oracle given to me by Mr. Jingyao, ordering me to protect the criminals underground..."
"Protect?"
Chen Lun was a little surprised.
Frederic nodded.
He took out a cigarette box, picked up a cigarette and lit it.
"Father Lie abandoned the Matthew clan underground, so he naturally wouldn't let them out easily... The curse rooted in their blood not only prevents them from entering the spirit world, but also causes them to react violently to normal light."
After she puffed out a few puffs of smoke, she pointed to the sky outside the transparent crystal wall and said:
"What is normal sunlight to us is extremely poisonous to them! Once those criminals from the underground return to the surface, they will be killed immediately by the sunlight!"
Chen Lun couldn't help but be stunned.
It turns out that all Ms. Frederic did was to prevent Matthew's land from being devastated.
But it is no wonder that queens of all generations have misunderstood her.
After all, the criminals in the underground did not know this, and Ms. Frederic, who "obstructed" their return to the surface and pursuit of light, was naturally classified into the camp of the Fierce Father and used as the executor to watch over these criminals.
"Mr. Jingyao, why did she ask you to protect the criminals?"
Chen Lun frowned.
Ms. Fredetri held the cigarette between her delicate fingers and rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Do you think the gods will explain everything to me?"
Chen Lun was speechless for a moment.
After chatting for a while, Ms. Frederic began to drive people away, her tone somewhat impatient. It was possible that when Chen Lun came out of the crater, some secret early warning mechanism was triggered, interrupting her research.
So much so that Ms. Fredetri was quite resentful.
Chen Lun did not stay long, he stood up and left the Meteor Tower.
He did not return to Matthew's Land, because after learning the truth from Lady Frederic, he knew that conventional methods could not save the underground world...
Chen Lun didn't want to tell the four queens this desperate answer.
Perhaps letting the criminals in the underground believe in "The Prideful Sun" is the best option at the moment, because only Arnold, who has regained his sanity and humanity, can redeem the land of Matthew.
Chen Lun looked back at the Meteor Tower for the last time.
The body shook and split into two.
The incarnation, which was identical to the real body, disappeared from its original place and flew towards the royal city... It was sent by Chen Lun to give a reply to Princess Anna.
Although he was powerless to do anything about it, the mission did not require him to successfully bring the Matthew people back to the surface.
So as long as we submit the investigation results, we will be able to get the job done.
Chen Lun felt that these 5 million experience points were well earned.
As for his true self, he chose to return to the base camp in Lengye City.
Because he was not in a hurry, he chose to fly high this time.
Along the way, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the empire, my mind was quite peaceful.
Ever since the fateful battle, Chen Lun no longer had the urgent sense of anxiety he once had... Going to the Kingdom of Byron to study high-level power was just like this. In the leisurely time, he could slowly savor the knowledge, enjoy the process of thinking, until he felt the achievement and joy when he finally reaped the results.
'In my previous life, I was a fan of traveling, but I didn't expect that I would be on the go all the time in this life.'
Chen Lun couldn't help but sigh.
'We can't relax from now on. The storm is coming. Improving our strength as soon as possible is the best way... At present, if a dramatist wants to reach the maximum level, he needs at least several hundred million experience points. There is a long way to go.'
Woo—
Screeching sounds and waves of clouds passed through the sky.
Chen Lun had passed through the Baoshi State without realizing it.
Suddenly, he noticed something and couldn't help but look down.
The bird's-eye view penetrated the clouds and accurately locked onto the main city of the Gem State, Fossil City.
With a horrifying glance, a mist rolled through Chen Lun's eyes.
His expression suddenly became extremely solemn.
Because he discovered that on the streets of Fossil City, in department stores, and even in various manors, there were many people who were in a state of abnormality, whether they were powerful and wealthy businessmen or ordinary people.
A loader at the entrance of a restaurant.
Kutman (contaminated)
A female employee working in another company.
Nellie (Contaminated)
There is also a noble family having a picnic on the lawn, all of which have the term "contaminated". However, these people are unaware of it and continue to live peacefully.
Chen Lun took a deep breath and used a more powerful life-gaze power.
The sight penetrates the fog and glimpses the fate of these people...
It's like a fantasy.
Chen Lun "saw" a loading worker suddenly lose control one night, with silvery insect limbs growing out of his body, and then he quickly rushed out of the low-rent housing, dismembering and killing all the workers in the building...
He also "saw" a female employee of the company fainting while dining alone. When she woke up, she found that her physical condition had changed. She accidentally burned her fingers and burned the files...
Chen Lun took one last look at the warm aristocratic family and raised his eyebrows.
Because he failed to "see" the strange fate of these people.
A priest wearing a white monk's robe, a white wide-brimmed hat, and holding a white Bible in his hand happened to pass by the noble family's dining table.
The family was very respectful to the priest who passed by, and after smiling and greeting him, they invited him to have a meal with them. But the priest just waved his hand gently, opened the Bible and prayed for them.
The invisible pollution disappeared from the noble family and was forcibly transferred to the priest, and was completely consumed by his powerful strength and reason.
Chen Lun's eyes narrowed.
He immediately knew the information about the priest.
Martin Gustave (Solar System Sequence Three - Bright Light)
"Um?!"
The priest was startled.
A terrible warning came from her heart.
Then, under the astonished gaze of the noble family, he looked up.
In sight, there is a clear sky.
There is nothing unusual.
But Martin knew that there must be a powerful person in a high position who had secretly watched her. At the same time, the aura of the Aries Hammer disappeared in an instant.
"Who on earth is that..."
Martin's face was extremely solemn.
