Chapter 478 Suffering
The huge change outside the royal city soon attracted the attention of countless people.

Residents in the lower city may not be able to see clearly, but residents in the upper city and the central area can clearly overlook the towering [-]-meter-high tree outside the city, with its lush greenery , swaying in the wind.

They stared at the giant tree and exclaimed from time to time. Some even bowed their heads and prayed, praising this miraculous scene.The scenery outside the city has hardly changed for more than ten years, but today, such a huge tree has suddenly grown in the countryside. If it is not a miracle, I really don't know how to explain it.

Compared to the shock of the people, the atmosphere in the palace conference hall became more and more depressing.The prince's side had already secured the victory, but the natural sect's actions seemed to be like a wolf howling suddenly sounded from behind before the hunter pulled the trigger.

This is obviously sending some kind of message to the royal family to put pressure on it.

Dazlet suppressed the anger in his heart, and said some unnutritious proposals with a blank face, but they were all rejected by the Church of the Moon and the Sect of the Stars.

The original five-on-three situation became stalemate again after the natural sect intervened.Under the whispered persuasion of Presiding Judge McCawlin and Archbishop Terrence, the prince temporarily gave up the sentence on Noah Silver Dragon. He didn't even discuss the roundup plan of the Scorching Sun Cross Society, and instead left the meeting angrily.

"Everyone, the meeting is postponed!"

Director Babaye said in a low voice to everyone.

The Church of the Sun and the Imperial Tribunal followed the prince's team to leave the arena first, and then the other high-level members of the Church of the Seven Gods also got up one after another.

The meeting was called urgently, but it ended hastily, which made everyone present quite unhappy.But the royal family still holds an overwhelming advantage. Almost all the participants knew that the royal family would deal with the mess outside the city as soon as possible, whether it was suppressing Lutina or driving Mrs. Elk back to the Great Forest of Coleridge. At that time, it will be the end of this "contest of the top forces of the empire".

Chen Lun was about to get up and leave, but Houston beside him tapped the two documents in front of him with his fingers and said with a smile:

"Jack, you forgot something."

Chen Lun glanced at him, turning a blind eye to the dismissal order and transfer order on the table.The latter changed into a comfortable sitting position, leaning one arm on the armrest, raising the other hand, and then raised his eyebrows.

"After all, you are a colleague of the Senate. Don't blame me for not giving you a step... With your manpower and layout in the generous church area, I can give you a week to make preparations, and then leave Wangcheng decently and go to be transferred to Bangcheng to sit in charge. "

Chen Lun put back the black hat on the table without haste, turned around with a silver cane, and said calmly:
"Actually, I'm curious. You took advantage of the opportunity of Chairman Azgilro to go out, and came over to occupy the position of the person in charge of the royal city, just to be a prince's dog?"

"Don't speak so harshly, Jack, the Council of Generosity was recognized by the empire before it boarded a precious seat in one of the churches of the Seven Gods. It is not a bad thing to be close to the royal family... On the contrary, you seem to have forgotten about it for a subordinate. It is my responsibility, but I don’t know that this is dragging the generous parliament into the abyss, how can the parliament tolerate you to continue to act recklessly.”

Houston said lightly.

"You should thank us for saving you in time, lest you be doomed."

After hearing what he said, Chen Lun couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling twice.Houston's level of shamelessness was somewhat beyond the standard, and he looked at the other party very seriously.

"Then I really want to thank you, Houston Consul, I have always observed etiquette, and I will definitely come to thank you when I am free."

"welcome any time."

Houston smiled lightly.

Chen Lun said nothing, didn't look at the documents on the table, turned around and left the conference hall.

The killing intent in his heart has already spread and boiled, but he also knows that now is not the time.Only by completing the extraordinary transformation and being promoted to the myth, can you have the capital to fight back!

'Houston... and Dazlet...'

Chen Lun stopped in front of the palace steps and took a deep breath.

"The incarnation of fraud has been searching for nearly a month in the dark world, but there is still no trace of Carmen... Fortunately, the dream divination last night told me that either today or tomorrow, there will be something to gain!" '

He thought to himself, and stepped down the steps expressionlessly.

However, at this moment, a female steward quickly came to Chen Lun, raised her skirt to salute, and then said in a low voice:
"Mr. Jack, Her Highness Anna asked me to tell you that she has won the opportunity for you to visit the Dungeon of the Sun... but there is only 10 minutes, after which you must leave."

Chen Lun was silent for two seconds, then nodded.

"Thank you princess for me."

"Yes, sir."

The steward seemed to be someone trusted by Princess Anna, so he nodded in agreement.Immediately afterwards, she took out a golden badge with a sun face and handed it to Chen Lun.

"This is His Highness' token, just show it to Warden Nunes, and he will understand."

"Thank you."

Chen Lun took out a small purse containing dozens of gold pounds, and wanted to give it to the other party as a thank you, but the female steward smiled and declined.

"Go, sir, and try to finish the visit before evening."

When Chen Lun saw this, he didn't force it, he just nodded slightly, and then strode away, going deep around the palace area.

He didn't meet anyone along the way, but was slightly delayed by a group of patrolling imperial guards. After a simple questioning and checking of his identification, the guards didn't bother him too much and let him go directly.

Chen Lun then went straight to the entrance of the dungeon directly behind the palace.

It is not conspicuous here, the entrance is set up under a white marble wall, and there are only two royal jailers in armor guarding here.

Chen Lun made it clear that he wanted to meet the warden Nunez, but the jailer did not stop him, and even pointed out the direction to him.Chen Lun thought to himself, the reason why it was so easy was probably due to Princess Anna.

After entering from the entrance of the Dungeon of the Sun, there are stairs slanting downwards, winding in a spiral shape, which seems to lead to the interior of the mountain on which the royal city relies.There are torches hanging on both sides of the narrow passage, the light is not bright, but it can barely illuminate.

After a while, he went down to a relatively spacious hall. According to the guidance of the jailer, the room at the end on the right hand side was the workshop where the warden stayed.Chen Lun walked over and knocked on the door, but with the creaking sound of the door opening, only a deep male voice could be heard from the dark crack of the door:

"badge."

Chen Lun did not rashly explore the scene behind the door, but calmly took out the sun face badge and handed it over.

A withered, scarred hand reached out from the darkness and took the badge.

After a while, the deep male voice said again:
"Go forward, go down the stairs at the end, the third floor, and leave in 10 minutes."

"I see, Mr. Nunes."

Chen Lun didn't pay attention to the strange tone of the warden, but just thanked him and was about to salute his chest, but the door clicked and closed slowly.

He took a deep breath, not wanting to waste any more time, turned around and walked quickly towards the side of the hall.The entrance of the corridor is very simple, without any decoration, all of which are made of marble. Continue all the way down, and soon reach the third floor of the dungeon.

It's rather dark in here, but also extremely quiet.

Except for the slight sound of the torches burning, there was a dead silence.

The cells on both sides were sealed off by firm and tight iron bars, and it seemed that someone was being imprisoned inside, but these figures remained motionless, and it was difficult to detect even the sound of breathing.

Looking at such a scene, Chen Lun thought of how he was imprisoned in the dungeon of the Red Apple Church when he just crossed over, and was almost reduced to a sacrifice.

"call……"

He breathed a sigh of relief, unfolded [Five Senses] and searched for Noah's trace along the aisle. Soon, he saw a familiar figure in the penultimate cell at the end.

Chen Lun's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face became extremely gloomy.

Noah's appearance at this moment is terrifying. He spread his arms, was half-hanging on the wall by shackles and chains, and was in a powerless kneeling position.The clothes had already been stripped off, and the exposed skin was covered with bloody mouths and holes. Burn marks and festering marks from whips could be seen everywhere. At first glance, it looked like a bloody human frame.

"Noah."

He called out the other person's name in a deep voice.

But the boy didn't respond, as if he had already lost consciousness.

Seeing this, Chen Lun had no choice but to move in an instant, flashed into the cell, gently lifted Noah's body, and stretched out his hand to treat him.

Yingying green light radiated out, but the wound on Noah's body did not heal, but accelerated to fester.Chen Lun immediately stopped the vitality transmission of [Awakening Insects], checked Noah, and immediately frowned.

Because he found that Noah was not only in a dying state at the moment, his health was bottomed out, but he also had seven or eight negative states on his body. Among them was a LV5 curse called "Warm Whisper", which prohibited recovery and treatment. Once he was treated, It will worsen the injury.

Chen Lun's eyes narrowed, his murderous intent seemed to be real, and the temperature in the entire cell dropped a few degrees in an instant.At this moment, he even came up with an idea, which is to use the cloud leap to take Noah away directly, but when this idea appeared, [Spiritual Intuition] "flashed the warning lights", indicating that he would face extremely dire consequences.

'It's that Warden Nunes...he must be watching my every move. '

Chen Lun thought to himself and let out a long breath.

At this time, Noah seemed to have noticed something, and opened his swollen eyelids with difficulty. Seeing the familiar figure in the dark, he grinned a happy but extremely ugly smile.

"Jie...Mr. Jack, I'm sorry to drag you down."

Chen Lun squatted down, gently wiped the blood on the boy's face, and said in a deep voice:
"Hold on, Noah, I will definitely rescue you, and I will definitely pay back this hatred for you."

"Don't worry about me... Mr. Jack, it's nothing, I... I just use this kind of training as a promotion ceremony..."

Noah's words were indistinct, his tongue seemed a little numb, blood flowed down his lower lip, and fell on the dirty floor.

"I once swore... I vowed to follow in your footsteps, and I will not fall behind here, Mr. Jack. I am your exclusive painter, Noah Yinlong, and I hope that one day I can paint the most perfect portrait for you ..."

His voice was weak but firm, and Chen Lun only felt that his breathing was stagnant.

Silently wiping away Noah's blood, Chen Lun asked in a hoarse voice:
"Noah, on the day of Dazlet's birthday dinner, why did you go to the palace banquet hall?"

Noah was silent for a while, and said slowly:

"It's a guide... Someone is guiding me to attend the prince's dinner. You seem to be in danger. I want to help."

He immediately described all the experiences that happened at that time in detail. Chen Lun listened silently, but found inexplicable and hidden coincidence details from the other party's words.

In the end, Chen Lun's eyes were deep, and he used his life to scan Noah's body. His vision seemed to clear away the layers of fog behind him, and he "saw" the scene that others could not see at all...

Noah's sudden turning point and downward trajectory of fate!

Chen Lun recognized it at a glance, this is definitely a trace of being "bent" by someone!

'Howard...'

He said the name indifferently in his heart.

There is no suspense at this moment, Chen Lun can be sure that the black hand behind all this is the high-ranking person who has been pestering him to play with his fate!
A light flashed in my mind, instantly linking everything that happened during this period together——

Taking Prince Dazlet's birthday dinner as the stage, Princess Anna who leads the Sun Cross, Sister Olmedo from the Moon Church, and Saint Lutina from the Natural Sect are just warm-up actors before the main show begins.

The purpose is to trigger the follow-up "climax" part, that is, the internal struggle between the Church of the Seven Gods and the royal family, which also involves camp issues caused by different positions.

And in this gorgeous performance that affects the confrontation between the top forces of the empire, the most critical person is not Lutina Castillo who is the fuse, but the young man in front of him... Noah Silver Dragon.

He is not only the student of Saintess Lutina, but also the young boss of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce... As a mother, the Silver Dragon Witch, Blaze, would never just watch her son be executed, thus pushing the Stars Sect onto the stage.

Of course, Noah has another more important identity, which is his most important identity as a pawn... that is the circus cadre!Jack Speight's right-hand man!

'Because of the warning from Oscar, the serpent of fate, Howard dared not intervene in my fate directly, but he could influence me through the closest people around him... The death of Mr. Byers is the best example. '

Chen Lun's thinking was running fast.

'Howard doesn't need and can't do it, to move the fate trajectory of so many high-ranking people at the same time... But he only needs to guide a little, add fuel to the flames, and put Noah, the catalyst piece, on the stage, and then he can move The conflict escalated sharply, which also involved the generous council I represent... As a result, there will be a fierce battle between the royal family and the Church of the Seven Gods. '

He thought of the coincidence of the departure of Speaker Azgielo, Ginsberg and other consuls, and the sudden arrival of Houston to intervene in the royal city, and he couldn't help but come up with a guess that he himself did not expect:
'Is it possible that ... Howard deliberately brought Houston in front of me to facilitate my promotion ceremony?As long as I kill him, I will meet the requirement of changing the fate of a high-ranking person, so that I can transform into Mythic Sequence Four. At that time, will I also become a key pawn in his next ring? '

Thinking of this, he only felt a chill down his spine.

What exactly does Howard want to do?
What exactly does he want from himself?
Arranging and promoting all of this, is it for promotion to Sequence Two Angel of Destiny?Otherwise, it wouldn't make any sense to have such a huge benefit to make him pay so much...
