Chapter 797: A trip to the royal capital, a secret conversation throughout the night

"What!? Moving to the royal capital!?"

Lu Lin's mouth opened slightly, but she couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes, "Didn't we just move to Ocalan City?"

After a few weeks of living, Lu Lin had just taken care of the house assigned by the church and got used to going to the church library to read every day.

She even met an old classmate here and felt that life was full of intimacy.

A few days ago, her brother went on a business trip to Defias City, which made Lu Lin a little worried because she didn't know why the clergy still traveled on business.

Although a confidentiality agreement was signed, the work of the night watchman could not be known to non-supernormal people, not even relatives, so Lu Lin only vaguely guessed what kind of dangerous work her brother might be engaged in in the church.

As for why she thought so, it was just because Lu Lin felt that the treatment given by the church was too generous. Lu Chen had never even attended a seminary. Being specially hired by the church was a bizarre thing in itself, and the subsidy sent home every week, Surprisingly many.

Lu Lin felt that her brother didn't understand theology and scriptures, and he didn't look like he could preach in front of the public. He was essentially just a semi-literate person who hadn't graduated from an elementary school. How could he receive such a high salary?

Any fool knows there is something wrong with it, and it must be hard work.

After rushing to Ocalan City at a high speed last time, Lu Lin had already guessed that there were unusual powers in this world, and the disaster that her family encountered that year was not a simple fire.

Since miracles exist, do the "demons" mentioned in the scriptures also exist in the world?

Lu Chen sat on the sofa, holding a newspaper in his hand, and glanced at the recent events in the city, "Sister, don't you want to go? I heard that the capital city is beautiful. If you have a chance, you might be able to see it. Your Majesty the Pope."

Lu Lin was a little moved when she heard the second half of what Lu Chen said, but she put aside her personal beliefs first and looked at Lu Chen seriously, "Chenchen, you are not doing something very dangerous. Bar?"

Lu Chen put down the newspaper and took a sip of winter tea with a cold aroma. "They are all simple tasks. It's just that during this business trip, I met some big shots from the royal capital. They thought I was more talented and wanted to I’m going to the royal capital to develop.”

It has been five days since he returned to Ocalan City. Yesterday, Archbishop Geer sent someone to deliver a written document to him. After signing, he will be transferred to the Royal Capital. After undergoing a simple review in the Royal Capital, he will be promoted. As a special night watchman.

The efficiency of the Church of Morning Embrace is surprisingly high. You must know that Noah Province is a relatively remote province in the Sistine Empire. It is far away from the imperial capital. In addition, there are no planes and trains in this era. It can be imagined that appointments and appointments from the imperial capital The documents were all sent with extraordinary abilities.

In addition to the transfer order from the royal capital, there was also a private letter from Helen, which said that he was looking forward to meeting in the royal capital. His promotion to the special class had been unanimously approved within the church, and only a few procedures would need to be followed.

If you look at it this way, promotion to the special level in the main mission is very easy to complete.

But the other condition was more troublesome. Lu Chen investigated again on the outskirts of Ocalan City and looked through the internal information of the Ocalan City Church. Regarding the disaster ten years ago, it was still vague.

Archbishop Geer was initially extremely shocked that he actually killed the special priest of the Eternal Night Church, but when he thought about all the things that happened in the showroom that day, he felt it was no longer so strange.

No wonder those weirdos were afraid of Lu Chen, because they were facing a special person.

Regarding the fact that Lu Chen, the Transcendent, was about to be transferred away before he became active in Ocalan City, it could be seen that the old man was a little regretful, but in the end he still sent his blessings.

In a place like Noah's Province, there would be no special night watchmen permanently stationed there, so people like Lu Chen could not be retained.

Lu Chen also expressed his gratitude to Archbishop Geer for his "grace of knowledge". Without the platform and opportunities provided by this old man, he would not have been able to dig up in this world so fast.

The mission in Defias City has greatly accelerated their team's plan.

"talent?"

Lu Lin frowned at her brother's words. She wanted to ask more questions, but then she remembered the confidentiality agreement and realized that this might be something she shouldn't know.

"Sister, don't worry. When you get to the capital, you can still continue your current daily routine. There will be a larger church library for you to use, and we will also get a bigger house."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Oh, maybe by then, sister, you won't be able to deal with it alone. I suggest hiring two servants."

He avoids the important and takes the easy, not wanting this ordinary big girl to be exposed to things on the other side. Although he is very strong and most tasks are indeed not difficult, it will make the other party worried.

Lu Lin shook her head, "A servant or something... If I work harder every day, I can clean it well."

She thought to herself, how expensive it would be to hire servants in the royal capital.

Lu Chen saw Lu Lin's little thoughts and held out a finger, "Sister, we are different from before. When we get to the royal capital, my weekly salary will rise to one thousand pounds."

Lu Lin's mouth opened slightly, "One, one thousand!?"

She was thinking about the luxurious cake shop next door. The perfectly baked strawberry cream cake only cost two shillings a piece. How many cakes could she buy for a thousand pounds?

"So don't worry about money. We are fully capable of hiring some servants to take care of the house. Sister, you just need to do what you like. Maybe you will meet a gentleman with a good family background who is worthy of your trust." lifelong."

Lu Chen began to describe the bright future to Lu Lin.

Lu Lin's cheeks turned red for a moment, "What are you talking about? Gentlemen with good family backgrounds only like young and beautiful girls. Your sister and I are already an old woman."

"It's hard to say. Maybe my sister will encounter a surprise."

Lu Chen smiled mysteriously.

To be fair, the looks of the Lu Lin siblings are still online, especially since Lu Lin had many suitors in the seminary, which naturally explains the problem.

Now that she has been rebaptized with vitality, she looks like a twenty-three or four-year-old woman, with the aura of youth still permeating her.

Perhaps because her life has improved and she is in a good mood, her overall aura has improved a lot.

Her figure cannot be said to be curvaceous, but she is also slim and graceful. She can be regarded as a standard oriental beauty. According to Wang Tao, who came to deliver the letter, there are several monks in the church in Ocalan City who are secretly interested in Lu Lin.

"What surprise?"

Lu Lin felt that Lu Chen's tone had taken a turn and asked curiously.

"When we get to the royal capital, my sister will naturally know."

Lu Chen stood up and looked at the new house decorated with warm wallpaper by his sister, "As for this place, just return it to the local church."

It wasn't that Lu Chen was suddenly rich and didn't care about small money, but that the houses allocated by the church could not be resold or rented out.

After he is promoted to a special level, he will have a new mansion in the royal capital. He does not need to return this house, but it would be a waste of resources and not good for the Ocalan City Church.

"Then...well, I just feel a little unreal, like I'm dreaming."

Lu Lin agreed. Life had changed so much these days that she couldn't get used to it.

Rather than saying she was dreaming, it was better to say that such a huge change and the speed of the change made her feel a little uneasy.

But she also knows that this is her brother's "career" and she should support him.

The two siblings came to a conclusion on this matter, and Lu Lin went to cook herself to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

…………

Ocalan Cathedral, top floor, in Archbishop Ger's office.

The old man who was over 70 years old looked at Lu Chen sitting opposite and said with emotion, "I didn't expect you to be so outstanding. Noah's Province is just a small place, and you should have a broader sky."

Father Anderson poured tea for the two of them and stood quietly beside Archbishop Geer.

“Thanks also to the Archbishop for recruiting me into the Church, I was able to find something I was good at.”

Lu Chen said modestly that he was here to say goodbye today. Cars and horses were already prepared outside the door. Later, they would use the Derivi pillars from various churches to teleport and reach the royal capital before dark.

The two chatted for a while, and when Lu Chen was about to leave, Archbishop Geer walked him to the door and whispered, "If you want to trace what happened ten years ago, maybe you can get to know Red Archbishop Kural .”

After saying that, the old man remained silent and his warm smile returned to his face, as if he had never said anything just now.

Lu Chen understood and said goodbye to the other party.

On the street outside the church, there was already a luxurious carriage waiting, and the driver was an old acquaintance, Leng Yue.

Thanks to Lu Chen's favor, Leng Yue also got the opportunity to go to the royal capital for development. As a night watchman who showed quasi-super strength, Helen thought she might deserve better training.

After all, according to official documents, Leng Yue is only 37 years old. Having such strength at this age means that she has a high possibility of becoming a super-level in the future, and she may be able to do it before she is fifty.

Archbishop Geer was very surprised by Leng Yue's transfer order, because in his impression, this high-risk night watchman had just been promoted for no more than five years, and his strength had always been average in the church. He was not as good as Father Anderson. of.

But Leng Yue received the transfer order. In the end, Archbishop Geer could only think that Leng Yue had participated in a special mission. The superiors considered his merits and transferred him to the royal capital together.

Of course, Leng Yue's transfer is apparently a flat one, with no promotion arrangements. The weekly subsidy will still be paid according to the high-risk level, but he will be allocated a new house in the royal capital.

After bidding farewell to the city, Lu Chen got into the car and Leng Yue drove the carriage away.

After leaving the city, there was still some distance from the Delivi Pillar in Ocalan City. Lu Chen asked his sister to stay in the car, lifted the chain, sat in front of the car, and breathed in the fresh air.

Leng Yue was not a talkative person, she just drove the vehicle silently and looked at the wind-blown grass in the wilderness.

If it was half a month ago that she saw Lu Chen heading to the capital with his "family members" from this world, she would definitely have doubts.

After all, Lu Lin, as a mortal, was completely useless and might even become a burden.

If you were an ordinary explorer, you wouldn't care about these false identity relationships at all. Anyway, through the mysterious side of things, you can just say that you have lost your memory and don't recognize it, so you can just fly solo.

Taking care of a mortal without any mission requirements or benefits is something that many explorers cannot understand.

But Leng Yue didn't ask today. It would be better to say that she began to understand what kind of person this boss was.

She still remembered the scene of a weak mortal girl grabbing the lapels of Lu Chen's clothes and crying bitterly in the cemetery on the outskirts of the city that morning.

She couldn't explain what it was, but she suddenly felt that Lu Chen was different from other explorers.

He does not come to the world with an uneasy heart and a heart to face unknown adventures. He is not "playing games". He is seriously experiencing every journey in life and respecting all lives that deserve respect. .

Even if he is strong enough to destroy half of the country, he is still willing to let a sad mortal girl grab his fairy-level clothes and give her a chance to vent.

Is this... the person above the judge?

Is that why he is so strong?

…………

Province of Arsis, Winterfell.

In a majestic and heavy mansion, the chandelier above the hall illuminated the room brightly. A middle-aged man wearing red clothes was sitting on the sofa, a red wine glass shaking slightly in his hand.

The sofa is located in the center of the hall, and the surrounding walls are covered with oil paintings. The portraits in each oil painting are lifelike and so real that they give people a weird feeling.

"Priest Xue is dead, the plan failed, and the Death Note was lost. Do you have anything to explain about this matter?"

Strangely, one of the oil paintings actually moved and started talking, apparently asking a question to the middle-aged man in the center of the hall.

The man took a sip of the bright red liquid in the wine glass and his lips turned red. "You shouldn't ask me about this matter. Maybe you should investigate where the news was leaked within the church."

"Mr. Aston, you look calm."

Another oil painting opens.

"Should I act angry?"

Aston leaned back on the sofa, a little lazy.

"Your son is dead, but instead of checking it out, you're here tasting red wine."

One of the paintings shows an opening of a middle-aged woman.

"Oh, you are talking about Clementine. I have already said that he is not suitable to be a priest, but he just wants to prove himself. He is terribly stupid."

Aston took a sip of wine and said, "You know, in my opinion, stupidity should be the greatest original sin."

"Don't go off topic. You should be responsible for this. We lost a special priest and a mysterious item with great potential."

An oil painting of an armored knight spoke.

"When this happens, there are only two possibilities. The biggest possibility is that the news leaked from within the church, which caused the Morning Support Church to arrange a special person in advance, oh, that is, the transcendent named Lu Chen, to participate in the church. The mission of Fia City.”

Aston said slowly: "If that's the case, then his information should have been modified."
