Chapter 892: Chapter 573 Apology (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
“Apologize?”
Chen Lun raised his head and softly asked.
“Yes, Lord Jack… It seems we governors had a bit of a misunderstanding with you before, and there were so unpleasant monts during our secret eting.”
Randa cautiously said.
He discreetly observed the expression of the gentleman in the black hat.
“Now, I represent Malek and Mide, to express our sincere apologies to you, hoping you can forgive the mistakes we made before.”
Snap.
Chen Lun gently closed the poetry collection in his hand and said with a half-smile:
“We are both governors of the council, without a hierarchy, and it seems the ‘Generous Prir’ does not stipulate that governors cannot have differences and disputes during secret etings… So, what exactly is your mistake?”
Randa’s face stiffened.
Even so, but…
The strength and status of this gentleman in front of them have long surpassed what they as Senate governors could ever compare to.
Earlier this morning, Princess Anna personally took a carriage, secretly escorted by the Bathing Light Holy Guard, to the Generous Church in the Royal City to visit Randa.
At first, Randa was sowhat pleased, thinking he had gained the attention of the Sun Royal Family.
But after a conversation, it nearly caused him to lose composure as a governor on the spot…
Princess Anna first expressed her appreciation for the Generous Council to Randa, then entrusted him to deliver a personal letter to Your Majesty Jack Spett, and finally, the princess very subtly expressed her congratulations.
At that ti, Randa was completely stunned, not knowing what the princess ant… So he tried to ask a question.
Princess Anna looked surprised, paused for a few seconds, and simply said:
“Please convey my congratulations to my friend Jack for achieving the status of a demigod…”
Even after the princess left, Randa was still in a daze.
He only heard those two words echoing in his ears.
Demigod…
Randa suddenly panicked.
He even overlooked the private friendship between the princess and Jack.
Randa knew very well that he, along with Houston, Malek, and Mide, had once plotted to seize Jack’s position as the Royal City head. Although the matter ended with Houston’s death, and they achieved their goal, this grudge was long established.
Jack is not only highly regarded by the Speaker and the King of Slaughter, but now has also risen to a demigod… If he turns to settle this account, what good outco could they as the three governors have?
The most frustrating thing for Randa was that not long after, the Faceless Attendant delivered the latest secret information—
The King of Slaughter has already acquired five unique divinities, and just needs to digest the authority to prepare for the Deification Ritual.
In addition, Speaker Azjiluo also announced Conrad Your Majesty’s Oracle of Slaughter—Jack Spett will no longer serve as a Senate governor but will directly be promoted to vice speaker of the Generous Council!
Randa almost lost control on the spot…
After secret discussions with Malek and Mide, the three unanimously decided to quickly apologize and admit their mistake to Jack Spett, praying for his forgiveness… If there is a reckoning, under the divination of the demi-god of destiny, they would have nowhere to hide and would surely die!
Even if they were killed, Jack’s identity and status in the Generous Council would not be affected at all… This is the most despairing part.
“Lord Jack, previously, we were blinded by desire and attempted to seize your position as the Royal City head, which is truly unforgivable!”
Randa’s expression changed several tis before finally gritting his teeth and speaking.
He bowed his head deeply, holding a letter, an irregular shard of stone, and a palm-sized octopus stone sculpture, presenting them forward.
“This is the personal letter Princess Anna entrusted to deliver to you. I also heard that you have a great passion for knowledge, so we have painstakingly collected these two mythological artifacts as a token of our apology… We hope you can spare us.”
Chen Lun did not speak.
He just quietly looked at Randa.
The atmosphere instantly froze.
This woman, who seed to be in her thirties, maintained a stiff smile on her beautiful face, with cold sweat unknowingly appearing on her forehead.
He dared not speak rashly again, only maintaining a posture of holding his hands high, motionless.
In his peripheral vision, the gentleman in the black hat seed to raise his hand, slowly leaning over, yet the next second, he felt his face being grabbed by a large hand, forcibly lifted up.
Randa’s breath caught, intense fear and unease causing even him, a Saint who has lived for centuries, to involuntarily tremble.
“Lord Jack, please don’t…”
Randa looked into those calm and deep eyes and pleaded.
Yet he only heard the man chuckle softly.
“Governor Randa, why are you sweating so much? Is this incarnation of yours sick?”
Randa was first taken aback, then felt the hand leave his face.
After retracting his hand, the gentleman in the black hat smoothly took what was in his hand, smiling teasingly as he showed concern:
“If there’s a problem with the incarnation, it might be related to the main body. Should I go to the Royal City and take a look? I consider myself quite knowledgeable about incarnations…”
“No need to trouble you; I just feel a bit hot.”
Randa quickly said.
At this mont, his heart was racing, fearing the other would actually go to the Royal City to find his main body.
“Heh…”
Chen Lun looked at Randa, who seed almost scared to death, and just found it amusing.
Actually, he had indeed thought about casually killing this woman just now, but soon gave up on the idea… To be honest, he just found it uninteresting.
Now, to him, the three of Randa don’t even qualify as enemies, at most they are just minor characters with so grudges.
Considering the imminent deification of the King of Slaughter, Chen Lun decided to let them go for now. If they pull any more tricks in the future, he’d send them off with a dose of “Fate of Death.”
“If that’s the case, let’s just leave it at that then…”
Chen Lun said with a faint smile.
“It was really hard for you to send your incarnation personally, Governing Officer Randa, I received the letter and apology gift, thank you.”
“No need to be so polite, it’s just what I should do.”
Randa tidied his hairstyle and said promptly.
“If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you any longer, Lord Jack…”
Chen Lun waved his hand.
Randa heaved a sigh of relief, bowed, and then left.
After he left, Chen Lun leaned back on the sofa, playing with the irregular stone and the octopus statue.
[Mythical Object – teor Remnant]
Item Description: A celestial object imbued with constellation knowledge, occasionally emitting a strange glow that transcends human perception, seemingly depicting so indescribable information.
“It whispers to , whispers of where the soul returns.”
Those with keen insight may perceive unparalleled mysteries from the glow of this stone.
[Mythical Object – Strange Stone Sculpture]
Item Description: An ancient artifact containing deep sea knowledge, appearing as a stone carving of an octopus, but upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a tangled mass of seaweed… But why are there sawtooth-shaped suckers on the seaweed?
“In the depths of the ocean lies our destination.”
“—The Charles Family, Family Motto.”
Those with keen insight may discover hidden thoughts and information from the sculptor on this stone sculpture, perhaps a stairway to mythology? Or could it be a key to so relic?
‘High-level knowledge of the constellation and deep sea is concealed in them…’
Chen Lun touched the two cold mythical objects, smiling.
He just happened to be lacking mythical knowledge in these two paths in his hand, so he directly activated the “Quantum Reading” mode, imrsing his consciousness into these two items.
An image of a vast starry sky flashed through Chen Lun’s mind, magnificent and breathtaking, making one feel insignificantly small.
An indescribable invisible gaze cast from the distant other side.
In just that mont, Chen Lun’s Sanity Value plumted by 2 points…
He then acquired new knowledge.
[You have gained insight into the strange light of the “teor Remnant,” discovering the Constellation system mythological knowledge “Sequence Four – Witch”!]
As for the feeling that the octopus statue brought to Chen Lun, it was more like a mory scroll unfolding from soone’s perspective.
It was a traveler, seemingly soone with a passion for hand-carving, and this statue was crafted by them… However, the final image lingered on a voyage, with thick fog rising from the sea surface, faintly exposing so indistinct archipelagos in the distance.
The main perspective person raised their hands and threw the statue into the sea, and these hands particularly attracted Chen Lun’s attention.
They were webbed claws covered with dark green fish scales…
[You have gained insight into the information on the “Strange Stone Sculpture,” discovering the Deep Sea system mythological knowledge “Sequence Four – Catastrophe Apostle”!]
‘Hmm, two pieces of mythological knowledge acquired.’
Chen Lun smirked.
He glanced again at the palm-sized octopus stone sculpture, through the description on the panel and the vision he just saw, he thought this item might have further uses.
After placing the two items into the Blood Poem Ring, Chen Lun finally opened the letter to read.
The secret letter from Princess Anna contained little content.
It was barely half a sheet of paper.
First, she congratulated Chen Lun on his ascension to a demigod, then exchanged a few words about the trivial happenings in the Royal City during this period, even including so sensational gossip among the nobility.
Finally, Princess Anna ntioned two important matters.
One was the recent serial murder case within the Empire’s borders. She expressed concern about the inexplicably increasing number of rogue Transcendents and those suddenly erging polluted Insect People.
Refuges around and branches of the Seven Gods Church were overwheld by this. Princess Anna felt that this matter might escalate, becoming unmanageable eventually.
She hoped Chen Lun could offer strategies and advice.
The description of the other matter was in code, more obscure, but Chen Lun understood the underlying aning.
Princess Anna stated in the letter that new “Descendants of Light” had arrived from their holand in the Land of Matthaios to the surface Royal City and joined under her command.
These new mbers of the Solar Cross Society ntioned that Jack’s na was circulating in the Land of Matthaios.
Princess Anna was surprised that Jack had been there and hoped sincerely that Chen Lun could help her gain the support of the Matthaios people… If those Descendants of Darkness could return to the surface, it would be a great help for the current situation of the Empire.
After reading the letter, the panel tily popped up a task prompt box—
