Chapter 801 Two Divine Envoys

Helen retreated with Leng Yue and used the beads in her hand to remotely open the soul box.

Suddenly, Lu Chen heard noisy whispers in his ears, and an invisible force was drilling into his sea of ​​consciousness, like countless cold insects trying to penetrate into the depths of his soul.

Lu Chen nodded and indicated to Helen that she could continue.

Seeing this, Helen felt relieved and directly raised the opening level of the Soul Box to the sixth level, which was a level that he could bear.

Expectations are expectations, but safety must be paid attention to when testing.

After the soul box's unsealing level increased, Lu Chen felt that the power had increased, and in his field of vision, a gray mist emerged from the soul box.

The shape of the mist changed, and a twisted human face emerged. It opened its mouth, and in its mouth, there was a new human face. The human face outside rolled and faded, and the inner one came out from the inside, and the mist floating in the air turned into silk threads. The baby's arms are scratching at something in the void.

The whispers in his ears were even harsher, and an unknown power covered him, attacking his sea of ​​consciousness.

"continue."

Lu Chen said, Helen wouldn't dare to raise her level without him giving any indication.

Seventh level...eighth level...ninth level...

By the time he reached the ninth level, Helen's hand holding the beads was already trembling slightly, because his personal limit was only the eighth level.

Lu Chen only felt the noise in his ears, but under the influence of his Emperor Martial Power, the spiritual platform was tightly guarded, and the ancient god's will could not penetrate at all.

"Try the tenth level."

Lu Chen said calmly.

Helen used the beads to control it. When the Soul Box was unlocked to the tenth level, Lu Chen had many hallucinations in front of his eyes. He saw his body rotting and pieces of flesh peeling off.

snap——

A piece of carrion fell to the ground and smashed into a ball of meat paste. When he lowered his head, he felt that the vision on one side was dim, and he could see an eyeball rolling to the ground with the other eye.

"Oh? Isn't this a feeling?"

Lu Chen grinned, activated his martial arts eyes, and saw through the illusion. Most of the hallucinations in front of him were dissipated. He himself was fine and unharmed. Only the mist above the soul box spread its teeth and claws to devour anyone.

He could see the countless faces and mouths on it opening and closing. The will of the ancient gods was trying to interfere with his own spirit. Lu Chen, Emperor Wu, was reciting the Sutra of Saving People silently in his heart, and his eyes and ears became clear after his heart was purified.

"Click——"

There was a snapping sound, the Soul Box was closed again, and the gray mist shrank back unwillingly.

"Congratulations, Mr. Lu, you have passed all the tests perfectly. I believe that the church's upper management will attach great importance to you."

Helen closed the Soul Box. Even if he didn't close it, after the seal level was released to level ten, the Soul Box would automatically close after thirty seconds. This was its preset security measure.

He could see that Lu Chen was not contaminated and was fully capable of withstanding the tenth level of erosion. Twenty-five seconds had passed, and any further steps would only consume the soul box.

Lu Chen looked at Helen who had recorded it on the document and asked with great interest: "Can I ask what is locked inside? What level of weirdness is it?"

Mentioning this, Helen stopped writing in her hand, seemed a little embarrassed, and glanced at Leng Yue.

Leng Yue consciously walked to the other side of the hall and obediently covered her ears as a gesture.

Although everyone knows that covering their ears is useless, at their level, if they don’t want to hear certain sounds, they can “not hear” them.

Helen approached Lu Chen and lowered her voice: "The thing inside once injured the chief referee, so it's hard for people in our department to tell its origin."

Lu Chen's heart trembled when he heard this. No wonder even he would have some hallucinations. The things inside could actually injure the chief referee at the level of a divine envoy! ?

"Of course, that was six years ago. The current referee will definitely be able to defeat it easily."

After Helen finished speaking, she seemed unwilling to discuss too much and waved to Leng Yue, "We can go out."

Several people left the Testing Temple, and Helen saluted Lu Chen, "Mr. Lu, you can go back to the church to find your sister first. I'm going to report to the Lord Magistrate. As for your accommodation arrangement, Sister Sylphy will help you choose it. .”

Lu Chen nodded, "Don't worry about me. I just took a look around. I haven't been to the headquarters yet."

Sister Sylphi, who was waiting outside the temple at this time, had obviously been greeted by Helen in advance, and took Lu Chen and Leng Yue back to the main church.

"Mr. Lu, because of Mr. Helen's guarantee, although the approval of the title has not yet been approved, you can choose a mansion first."

Ten minutes later, Sister Sylphy took Lu Chen and Leng Yue to the library on the second floor of the main church, which was only open to clergy.

Lu Lin also sat at the table and listened quietly. When she heard the mansion, her big eyes lit up for a moment and she put down the scripture she was studying.

"What are they currently available?"

Lu Chen didn't expect that he could still choose, thinking that it was all arranged directly by the church.

Sister Sylphy is a blond woman with golden curly hair hanging down behind her. She has a curvy figure and a face that is rare for Western women. She seems to be wearing light makeup today, which makes her look a bit more sacred and noble. , beautiful tranquility.

She looks very young, but judging from her strength, she shouldn't be really young, because she is a high-risk night watchman.

At this time, Sister Sylphi seemed to see Lu Chen's doubts, and smiled charmingly: "Mr. Lu, there is no need to be surprised, because in this holy city, big figures rise every day, and big figures fall every day. The vacant mansion The palace was naturally recovered by the empire, and our church has part of the allocation."

She took out a book that looked like it had just been bound. "There are currently thirteen mansions to choose from. You can take a look at where you want to live first."

"Thank you, I'll take a look."

After Lu Chen took it, he handed it to Lu Lin and asked her to look through it first, while he browsed the church's collection of books on the nearby bookshelf.

Sylphy also took out another brochure and handed it to Leng Yue, "Miss Leng can also choose. Although they are not mansions, they are all relatively high-quality single-family villas in the royal capital."

She had been reminded by her superiors that although the petite woman in front of her was still a high-risk night watchman, her strength was close to the special level and she might be promoted in a few years, so she was very polite.

Leng Yue nodded lightly. She actually didn't care where she lived. As an assassin explorer, she usually spent most of her time in the mission world lurking.

"This is not bad. It's not far from the church."

Lu Lin pointed to one of the pages in the booklet and said. Lu Chen turned around and took a look and found that the mansion was very large. The courtyard alone was tens of thousands of square meters. He felt that his sister might have subconsciously chosen the largest one.

He originally wanted to remind Lu Lin that she should consider all aspects such as comfort, but the next moment his eyes narrowed and he saw the location marked on the mansion.

"It does look good."

Lu Chen agreed.

"Mr. Lu, you have a very good sense. This place used to be the residence of Count Carl. Oh, he used to be the deputy tax collector of the empire and was dismissed two months ago."

Sylphy introduced, "Because it is located on First Avenue, the mansions on every street are occupied by the empire's dignitaries. If you like to socialize, it will be a good place. By the way, this mansion is next door. Duke Uesugi’s residence, I heard that the Duke’s little daughter is very beautiful.”

Yes, the reason why Lu Chen recognized this mansion at first sight was simple because Eriki lived next to it.

He had heard Eriki mention that she lived in that part of the capital before, so he remembered it deeply.

The Land Abandoned by the Gods is a very strange place. All kinds of people gather in one country, and the surnames of some Second Age countries have also been passed down. But now people no longer know what happened in that lost era.

Chu Zihang once speculated that before the Great Destruction, the Land Abandoned by the Gods was probably a place with a cultural background not much different from that of Earth, and even the cultures of various countries could find similarities.

Eriki was born in the Uesugi family. This is obviously not a traditional oriental surname, but an unpopular surname in a small place.

The current Duke of Uesugi only became a powerful figure after hundreds of years of hard work by his family.

However, judging from Eriyi's initial identity, Lu Chen felt that the origin space was more or less, and the explorers' identities might have been revised.

Anyway, if there is a Duke named Uesugi in the Sistine Empire, he would believe it, but if he happened to name his daughter Eri, that would be a coincidence...

"Chenchen, did you hear that? There is a princess living next door to us."

Lu Lin touched her brother's waist with her elbow and hinted wildly.

Lu Chen felt that this sister was really weird. If it were her, she would definitely be ashamed of herself because of her status, but now she was instigating her younger brother to do it.

"Perhaps we will meet you if we have the chance."

Lu Chen just smiled mysteriously, "Why is it destined? I will visit the Duke's Mansion tonight!"

"Mr. Lu may have a chance. After all, the ladies in this city, in addition to wanting to be duchess, also admire the high-ranking clergy of the church."

Sylphy said something special, but in fact she just said it casually.

Those who want to become a duchess are girls from ordinary families, or girls from the country who come to the royal capital to study. The Uesugi family is a hereditary duke, and it is said that their youngest daughter is loved to heaven.

A young lady from such a family would no longer be a duchess, but would marry into the royal family and become a princess!

Lu Chen naturally didn't know what Sylphy was thinking. Anyway, he felt that everything was going well at the moment. There was still time for the main mission, and the special ones wouldn't receive the mission soon. He could go and have fun with Eri Yi.

…………

Passing through the quaint hall, the candlelight on both sides was dim, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Dong dong dong——

Helen knocked on the door respectfully and waited for half a minute before a voice came from inside, "Come in."

After receiving permission, Helen pushed open the heavy iron door, and the smell of blood in the room became even stronger.

That is not the smell of real blood, but an invisible force, the hallucination caused by one person killing too much.

Even if he didn't look up at the man standing in front of the bookshelf, holding a book and turning the pages, he felt like he was trapped in a sea of ​​blood.

It was the effect produced by the strange aura and temperament at the same time, causing those who saw this man to fall into inexplicable hallucinations.

"Master Referee, Lu Chen's test is completed."

No matter how many times she saw each other, Helen could not stop the sweat from falling from the top of her head.

"Dear Helen, relax and don't look like you're seeing something horribly weird every time you see me."

The man's voice sounded a little helpless, and he closed the book.

The candlelight on both sides illuminated his face clearly. He was a traditional oriental handsome man with a somewhat feminine face, a less obvious Adam's apple, and a slender figure. He was wearing a pure black suit with a red shirt underneath and a chest on the outside. Wearing a pure white seraph badge.

If you just look at his appearance, there is no doubt that he is a man who can charm thousands of girls, but he is surrounded by a strong evil spirit, and it is so bloody that it is difficult to imagine how many people or things he has killed.

In fact, Helen knew that the chief referee was already sixty-one years old. During his thirty years in office, he had killed countless weirdos and people.

If His Majesty the Pope is a being respected by everyone in the Sistine Empire, the man in front of him is the being that people fear the most...whether he is an enemy or a friend.

In the Church of Eternal Night, the man in front of him has a title, the Dark God of Death.

He is Ji Wu Jiu, the director of the Inquisition of Morning Support Church.

"Please forgive me, Lord Magistrate, I will pay attention."

Helen smiled bitterly in her heart, thinking that you should be more restrained.

Ji Wu Jiu stepped forward and took the report from Helen's hand, glanced at it, his dark eyes wavered slightly, "I understand, you have worked hard, go back and rest."

He patted Helen on the shoulder, and Helen trembled before bowing and leaving.

Ji Wu Jiu held the information in his hand, his eyes illuminated by candlelight, "Lu Chen... the transcendent... is interesting."

The information disappeared inexplicably in his hand and was hidden in the darkness. The next moment, the candlelight in the room fluctuated and there was no one left.

In a white tower on the outskirts of the Holy City, a middle-aged man wearing a white vest and trousers was sitting on a sofa, reading a recently unearthed Oriental novel from the Second Age.

The man has brilliant blond hair, which is worn casually at home. His appearance is not very handsome, but he is very approachable.

But at this time, he was crossing his legs, and the hair on his legs was clearly visible. The slipper on the foot was half drooped. He also picked up a glass of ice-cold beer in his right hand and took a sip.

After finishing the drink, he let out a hearty "Ah——" and directly picked up his sleeve to wipe the remaining alcohol from the corner of his mouth.

He closed the book and looked at the shadow on the side of the fireplace, "You always come without saying hello."

Ji Wu Jiu walked out of the shadows and saluted respectfully, "I have seen His Majesty the Pope."

If anyone else does this again, they will be very surprised and disillusioned.

They have always been worshiped by the godly Pope, but in private they can be such a person, just like those rude sailors wandering on the sea.

"You've all come to me, so don't do this. Come and sit down quickly. I'm worried that no one will drink with me."

The Pope stood up and pulled Ji Wu Jiu to sit down. With a bang, he took out another big cup.
