Volume 5 Pearls Chapter 513: Innocence
[Tupa, a member of the Prideful Sun Cross, killed the Didak bug man, and you gained 5,000 experience points! ]
[Sutman, a member of the Prideful Sun Cross, killed the Didak bug man, and you gained 4900 experience points! ]
[Ori, a member of the Prideful Sun Cross, kills the Didak insect man...]
[The curse "Blaster LV2" has deepened...]
In the secret meeting room on the second floor of the Generous Council headquarters, Chen Lun was sitting upright in his seat, glancing at the panel prompt box that was invisible to others.
"It seems that the fate line I moved has taken effect..."
He said secretly.
Logically speaking, he had just been promoted to Sequence 4 [Clown] and had not yet mastered the ability to write scripts at Sequence 3 [Dramatist]. However, with the blessing of [Hide and Seek], he was now able to influence the direction of the Prideful Sun Cross with [Fateful Joke], which showed its power.
'After all, it is the incomplete divinity left by Lord Huan, no wonder it is so powerful... In addition, this matter is reasonable from the underlying logic, it is just that I took advantage of the coincidence and slightly added fuel to the fire.'
Chen Lun felt emotional.
Two days ago, in the private room of the cocktail party, he just mentioned it briefly, and Princess Anna suddenly realized something. She was in a good mood and chatted with him until the evening.
Now it seems that Princess Anna has regrouped and sent members of the Sun Cross to hunt in the dark world, just as she wrote the script.
But one thing was beyond Chen Lun's expectation, that was that the Didak insects killed by the Crusader members could actually share a small portion of experience points with him like the players under his command.
“Is it because I activated my ability, and it is closely related to the main plot, that this happened…”
Chen Lun couldn't help but guess.
The frequency of these kill notifications is not high, only once or twice every few hours, and the experience points that can be shared in a day are around 50,000, which is still a drop in the bucket compared to the 2 million needed for the current upgrade.
But fortunately, this is a process of gaining something without any effort, and Chen Lun usually enjoys it and takes pleasure in it... In addition, the players under his command are tirelessly killing monsters in the spirit world, which allows his experience points to accumulate slowly at a slow but steady growth rate.
Even if Boss Chen does nothing, he can still accumulate enough experience points to be promoted to the next level in ten days or half a month. He is truly a typical example of someone who reaps the fruits of others' labor and a typical representative of the "man hung upside down by the street lamp" approach.
As for the so-called curse of "blasphemer", he didn't care at all.
With his mysterious resistance that was like a barrier, even if this curse was deepened to the extreme, it would not deduct even a little bit of his attributes. It would simply become a pendant entry with no effect at all.
Chen Lun even had a naughty idea, which was to wait until the curse was "mature", use it as bait to attract those Didak insect people, or the so-called Dark Father's believers and followers, and then kill them all.
Hey, just playing.
It's a fishing expedition, and you will never come back empty-handed. Instead, you will return with a full load.
Just as Chen Lun was lost in thought, a solemn, cold and deafening voice rang in his ears:
"Jackspeight! How dare you disregard the rules in the secret meeting and openly ignore what we discussed! Do you know what a heinous crime you have committed?! Murdering your colleagues! Brutally killing the Senate's Governor Houston!"
Chen Lun looked up and saw Governor Malek with short hair and angry eyes standing on the other side of the white marble round table, scolding him harshly.
At this time, except for Houston who had died, all nine consuls, including Ginsburg, Mulenga and Page, were present. Even the Speaker of the House sat quietly on a high seat in the back, watching everything.
"Why are you yelling so loudly? I can hear you..."
Chen Lun scratched his ears helplessly. In the empty meeting hall, Malek's resounding questions buzzed, making him feel a little itchy.
In fact, thanks to his ability to "multitask", he was quite clear about the entire process of the meeting, except that the first hour or so was all "trash talk time" of the three governors, Malek, Randa and Mead. They took out several stacks of documents and reports, identifying Chen Lun as the direct culprit of Houston's murder, and explaining the more than 20 related crimes he had committed.
The words are righteous and passionate.
Chen Lun could tell at a glance that these three guys were well prepared and were just waiting for the Speaker to come back to attack. He was too lazy to argue and decided to watch how they performed first.
"Well then! Jackspeight, the evidence is here, do you plead guilty?"
Malek tapped the documents on the table and said coldly.
The two archons beside him, Landa and Mead, also had unfriendly expressions. Houston, who was in the same camp, went to the royal city with their expectations, but who would have thought that he would never return. That confident expression turned out to be the last one, which made them both shocked and angry... Jack, this guy, actually ascended to the sainthood and killed Houston in public!
They were not actually surprised that Jack had such terrifying strength. After all, when he was in the middle sequence, he had already shown an extremely rare talent and was able to kill the incarnation of a saint... Now that he had reached a high position, he must be a leader among the saints.
But right now, they absolutely do not want to see Jack staying in the Senate safely... They have already lost their ally Houston, and Ginsberg has added a new powerful saint, which is a very bad thing!
This means that they will lose all right to speak in the future!
In extreme passivity!
It would be best if Jack could be severely punished through Houston's death.
Malek and others knew the value of a saint, especially an extraordinary saint like Jack. The Speaker would most likely not agree to execute him, but murdering a colleague was a serious crime and he should be sentenced to imprisonment. At the very least, he should be expelled from the Senate...
This is the purpose of Malek and his two companions.
However, Governor Mulenga was the first to speak out in rebuttal:
"Malek, even if you have produced so much so-called 'evidence', you cannot deny the fact that you took advantage of the Speaker and I being out to abuse your power and make a ridiculous decision to go to the Royal City and seize Jack's position as the person in charge!"
"These are all decisions made by all members of the Generous Parliament. We did not abuse our power. The voting process in the Grand Chamber is also recorded in detail here..."
The slightly plump Mead started to chime in, but before he could finish his words, the tall and strong Ginsburg slammed the table.
Bang!
"There's no need to say high-sounding words here. Everyone here knows that every consul in the Senate has his own subordinates. The four of you were able to use this to guide public opinion and manipulate the vote..."
Ginsberg's voice was loud and powerful, and his sharp eyes swept over Malek and the other two, causing them to frown immediately.
Seeing this, the female governor Landa was about to speak up, but the speaker raised his hand at the right time to stop the endless debate.
"Stop for now."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker."
The consuls bowed their heads in greeting.
Azgiero looked calm as he turned to the man in the black hat.
"Jack, what do you want to say?"
Chen Lun took off his hat and slowly stood up. He first nodded to Ginsburg and other close magistrates, then ignored Malek and others, looked at the Speaker, and spoke softly:
"Mr. Speaker, I was ordered to go to the Royal City and have been fulfilling my duties conscientiously. However, I did not expect that Governor Houston would suddenly visit and directly announce my resignation and transfer..."
He said, his tone serious.
" Afterwards, under the watchful eyes of the royal family and the top brass of the Church of the Seven Gods, Governor Houston humiliated me in public again. Thinking that it was related to the reputation of the Generous Council, I endured it at the time, but later He kept pressing me, and even tried to wipe out my incarnation... At that time, I was really forced into a desperate situation, so I fought back, but I didn't expect Governor Houston to be much weaker than I thought, and I accidentally beat him to death."
Chen Lun showed guilt at the right moment, shook his head and sighed.
Malek and the other two were furious when they saw this, especially Governor Meade, who had a good relationship with Houston. His slightly fat face turned red and his eyes looked as if he wanted to glare at Jack to death on the spot.
"You're lying!"
Mead scolded.
He looked at Chen Lun fiercely, with veins bulging on his forehead.
"It was you who relied on your high-level destiny divination ability to locate Houston's exact position first, and launched a sneak attack, which was how you were able to injure him severely...Such a despicable act shows that you have no respect for your colleagues. If you continue to stay in the Senate, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing in disguise!"
"What on earth are you talking about, Archon Meade?"
Chen Lun looked confused and asked softly.
"Do I really need to use a sneak attack if I really want to kill Him? Or do you really not believe what I say...it was an accident."
As he spoke, the expression on his face faded, and his eyes turned into a pair of emerald vertical pupils as he looked at Malek and the other two.
A rusty iron crown appeared on his head at some point, exuding extreme malice. A gray and dark tattered cloak fluttered on his shoulders, and in his hand he held an ivory scepter that suddenly appeared.
His voice was cold and firm, echoing in the secret meeting hall:
"Why don't you three come and try it together to see if what I said is right... But there's a good chance that I'll accidentally kill you all!"
"Jack! You!"
Mead and Randa were shocked and angry, and stood up quickly.
The three archons felt their hair stand on end as if they were in shock. They suddenly felt that they were locked in by a terrifying aura. Any movement would result in a devastating blow... With the strong foreboding of death coming, they could not even hold back their instinctive reaction and revealed their own mythical creature forms to resist the danger that could come at any time.
Seeing that they were about to take action, Ginsburg and the other five governors did not hesitate. They all looked at them coldly, exerting strong deterrence and pressure.
Just as Malek and the other two were sweating and at a loss.
Speaker Azgierro once again stopped the conflict from breaking out.
“Stop it…”
As He spoke, He gave Chen Lun a special instruction:
"Jack, that's enough."
Chen Lun did not answer, but turned his head slightly and nodded to the Speaker. Then, the iron crown on his head, the gray robe on his shoulders, and the scepter in his hand all disappeared, returning to their original appearance.
Malek and the other two breathed a sigh of relief as if they had unloaded a heavy burden... When they looked at Jack again, their eyes changed, becoming extremely fearful and solemn.
Maybe what Jack said wasn't a lie?
Was Houston really killed by Him accidentally?!
This level of oppression... After he was promoted to a high position, it is not impossible that he could not suppress the surging mythical power and wiped out his opponent by mistake.
“Mr. Speaker, this is the mysterious substance left behind by Governor Houston after his death. These are the spoils of my hunting the Saint Incarnation of the Rotef Family when I was in the Middle Sequence…”
Chen Lun spoke in a deep voice and took out eight portions of high-sequence conspiracy substances.
Eight gray stones of different sizes are arranged on the marble table.
"The death of Governor Houston was not what I wanted... I will hand these over to the Congress in the hope that they can make up for some of the losses."
"Mr. Speaker, no matter what, Jack did kill Houston... This is an indisputable fact!"
Malek said through gritted teeth, ignoring the cold eyes of Ginsberg and others.
However, the Speaker just shook his head and said calmly:
"Okay, that's it... This meeting is over. Jack is not guilty."
