Starting from the Dragon Tribe

And if he sensed the remaining aura in detail, he could even recognize the identity of the other party. He should be Xue Tianlin, the special priest of Yongye Church.

He once fought against the opponent and had a slight upper hand, but was finally run away by the opponent.

Unexpectedly, such a big shot within the Evernight Church would die at the hands of a young night watchman.

Helen's inner shock at this time was by no means as calm as his appearance.

As for why it was judged that Lu Chen killed Xue Tianlin, it was because he could clearly sense the strength of Miss Leng Yue. Although it was strange that the strange aura was weak, she was actually an extremely excellent high-risk night watchman, or in other words They are all considered to be quasi-special.

But this kind of strength is not enough to kill Xue Tianlin. It would be difficult to survive.

On the contrary, the Lu Chen in front of him made him a little confused, and the transcendent was synonymous with miracles in a sense.

Even if it's a bit outrageous, there is a reason why miracles happen.

"What about the aftermath here?"

Lu Chen glanced at the collapsed wall outside the church and several corpses on the ground.

Helen explained: "There will be reinforcements from the night watchman team in half an hour, and the night watchmen originally sent out by Defias City will also be recalled. Mr. Lu does not have to worry about the aftermath."

As he spoke, he looked around, "Where's the Death Note?"

He heard that it was precisely because of this special mysterious item that the Eternal Night Church took action.

"With me, you will be brought back to Ocalan City safely."

Lu Chen didn't take it out because he had already received the storage space.

"Mr. Lu misunderstood. I didn't mean to compete for credit. I just confirmed the whereabouts of the Death Note. After all, it is a high-risk, or now special-level mysterious item. It needs to be contained carefully. Currently, only the morning of the Royal Capital is available. The showroom at the headquarters of the Church of Yong has this condition because there are two special night watchmen stationed there."

Helen smiled, "Of course, because His Majesty the Pope is sitting in the capital, those little things don't dare to cause trouble."

Lu Chen thought for a while, "Does the strange origin or mysterious item that the Night Watch successfully 'captures' have to be handed over to the church?"

Helen shook her head and said: "Of course not. If the mysterious item is controllable and can be confirmed not to affect the night watchman's mental state, it can be held personally. It just needs to be registered in the church. If you hold it yourself If you do, it means you gave up the bonus after turning it in."

Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then spoke under Leng Yue's surprised gaze, "Can I ask how much the bonus will be after handing in the special secret items?"

Leng Yue had just checked the details of the Death Note in his hand. It was a piece of fairy-level growth equipment!

If used well, not to mention killing the opponent, but it is still very abnormal to use it for harassment.

And because of the special nature of their explorers, they can put this piece of equipment into the storage space when not in use. There is no need to hold it for a long time, and there is no need to worry about going crazy. They only need to take it out when they want to use the Death Note skill. Just write a name.

In her opinion, it is a very practical fairy-level equipment, especially for seventh-level junior explorers. With it, they can kill explorers who are stronger than themselves.

It was such a top-notch piece of equipment, and Lu Chen actually... wanted to exchange it for money?

"It seems that the Death Note has indeed completed its promotion. The Defias Church should have been emptied out. Bishop Bunir may be crying. Haha, just kidding. Compared with the safety of citizens, those collections are nothing. What, not to mention that we have one more special class, which is something the church should be thankful for."

At this point, Helen made a gesture, "Praise the goddess of morning embrace."

Lu Chen felt awkward, but he also gestured, "Praise the goddess of morning embrace."

But does the goddess of morning embrace really exist? In other words, what is He?

But for now, it seems that the Morning Embrace Church is relatively decent on the surface, and at least it is protecting the safety of the people of the empire.

After the magic stick spoke, Helen said: "If it is a special grade, according to the special characteristics of the Death Note, after handing it over to the showroom in the royal capital, Mr. Lu can get 60,000 pounds in cash. This is your strength in exchange for He who comes shall have glory.”

After hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up. Isn't this equivalent to a piece of fairy-level equipment? It seems that the night watchmen's missions are the main source of income.

But he didn't agree immediately. He just asked casually, trying to figure out Morning Support Church's employee performance reward system.

"I will think about it."

Lu Chen nodded.

"As long as Mr. Lu keeps it safe, you have enough time to think about it. The Death Note is safer for a strong person like you than in a showroom. I will make it clear in the report."

At this point, Helen realized that this was just a task for Lu Chen to be promoted to a high-risk night watchman. "I wonder if Mr. Lu is willing to be transferred to the headquarters of the Morning Embrace Church in the royal capital for development?"

"What's the difference?"

Lu Chen asked.

"In the royal capital, you will be exposed to more 'knowledge' and gain special-level status. The records of this mission are sufficient. I will personally guarantee to the church and recognize Mr. Lu's strength."

Helen said slowly, as a member of the Inquisition within the Morning Embrace Church, he usually spoke very little and was not enthusiastic towards others.

It’s not that he talks nonsense to people and ghosts to ghosts, he just thinks that people at different levels don’t need to communicate too much.

Just like although he greeted Leng Yue politely after he appeared, he never said a word to her after that.

"The conditions are exciting. If possible, I would of course be happy to go to the Royal Capital."

Lu Chen nodded in agreement. There was no need to delay this matter. Although Lu Lin might feel that she had moved a bit frequently recently, I believe she was also happy to keep moving to a better city.

What's more important is that Eriki is in the royal capital at this time, and he hasn't seen Eriki for almost a month.

The moment he agreed, he suddenly received a prompt from space.

[The main mission has been started, please take a look at it. 】

"Then, let's meet again in the Royal Capital. I believe that within half a month, Mr. Lu will receive the transfer order from above."

Helen glanced at the hanging bell hanging above the church, which was broken at this time. "It's already very late today. I will arrange for someone to deal with the aftermath. You two can go back and rest first."

"Goodbye in the capital."

Lu Chen nodded, and then left the church with Leng Yue.

…………

In the bathroom, Lu Chen soaked in the bathtub, looked up at the ceiling, and read about his main mission.

[Main Mission (First Ring): Going to the Secret]

Mission content: Obtain the status of a special night watchman in the Sistine Empire within one natural month, and find out the truth about the sacred disaster of Ocalan within three natural months.

Task Difficulty: Easy ~ Hard

Failure penalty: three random main attributes minus 3, forced return.

Mission reward: inheritance crystal. Big * 10, starting the second round of the main mission.

In addition, Lu Chen also received other reminders.

[The reputation system of God’s Abandoned Land has been opened, please pioneers to check it out. 】

[Official Reputation of the Sistine Empire: 50]

[Morning Embrace Church Reputation: 100+++]

[Reputation of Eternal Night Church: 0——]

[Official reputation of the country of steam and machinery: 0]

[Total reputation of the human camp: 0++]

[Reputation of the Ancient God Camp: -1000——]

Below the reputation columns of each camp, some columns are marked.

For example, the Church of Morning Embrace has several plus signs after 100 reputation, which means that its reputation is rising.

Because the communication in this world is not developed, it may not be until tomorrow, after what he did in Defias City is known, that his reputation will increase significantly.

In the same way, the same goes for the Eternal Night Church. I was originally just a small figure who was not in the other party's field of vision. After today's incident, my reputation will plummet.

There are also special reminders under the total reputation of the human camp.

[It is detected that the pioneer has the title of Guardian of All Living Beings, but since this native world is the first time to open up wasteland, the reputation bonus effect is hidden, and some additional bonuses will be obtained when the reputation is subsequently improved. 】

To be honest, the main mission is not a type that Lu Chen likes very much. He prefers to kill people directly, and the space tells him the time, place and target.

investigation? This doesn't fit my style at all.

…………

The day after tomorrow, the early morning fog was particularly thick in this water city.

People in Defias City got up as usual, completely unaware that they had walked through the Gate of Hell the night before yesterday. Even because of the soothing effect of Lu Chen's consciousness, many people felt refreshed today.

Lu Chen walked along the river, Leng Yue hanging behind like a little secretary, until he came to the Defias Church in the center of the city.

The collapsed wall was being repaired, and the workers were all very motivated, with glowing faces. It must be that the church had given a good price for the repairs.

The smell of blood in the air was no longer detectable, the ground was washed clean by water, and the church returned to its former holiness.

Rather, it looks more pleasing to the eye without those mysterious items and weird origins in the showroom.

Those believers who come to pray early in the morning feel that the goddess may have heard her voice today.

He and Bishop Bunir simply submitted the mission report and accepted the thanks from the diligent old man. Their business trip was over. As for the report, of course it was written by Leng Yue.

It wasn't that Lu Chen was being lazy, but that Leng Yue was the person in charge of their business trip this time.

Walk along the shore of this water city and breathe in the moist air.

From time to time, I heard the shouts of nearby vendors and the teasing and cursing of dock workers. From time to time, several small boats rowed across the river, causing sparkling water waves. Children on the roadside laughed and played, living a quiet life. The atmosphere fills every corner of this city.

As Lu Chen headed west, rows of dilapidated houses came into view. Coupled with the smell of shit, the atmosphere of life seemed to be getting stronger.

Lu Chen smiled silently and shook his head. He felt like an old man taking a walk.

Dong dong dong——

He knocked on the door of house No. 27, but no one answered.

Lu Chen did not wait, but continued to walk out.

Further west is the cemetery in the western suburbs.

This is a relatively remote cemetery in Defias City. There is another one in the east of the city. The repairs and management there are better. It is the burial place chosen by people in the inner city after they die.

When we came to the cemetery in the western suburbs, there were only a few people. Some people made prayer gestures in front of the tombstones, whispered something in their hearts to their deceased family members and friends, and then got up and left. It was simple and ordinary.

Walking in the cemetery, you can see that in a remote corner, a girl wearing a new white cotton coat is standing quietly in front of an inscription.

Although she was wearing thick clothes, her thin figure could not be concealed. Her long brown hair fell to her vest, fluttering gently in the cold winter wind.

The girl looked at the tombstone in front of her in a trance. The cold wind blew her face with small freckles, dyeing it a cold red.

Now she has put on new clothes and new shoes, and she also ate half a loaf of rye bread with butter in the morning, but why is it still so cold?

She looked at the short inscriptions on the stone inscription. She could not understand some of the words, but could only understand a few short ones.

"Klin Messer" and..."Brother"

She couldn't understand the words on the inscription, but she knew the meaning of the words strung together. If the carving master hadn't fooled her, the meaning should be:

"Clin Messer, a gentle and good brother.

——The sister who loves her most, Louise Messerli. "

Her brother was buried yesterday. The church people did not open the coffin for her to see, but she knew that it was her brother inside, and there was no reason why.

The sun rose in the east, and the shadow covered the girl. She turned around and looked at the man standing behind her and the woman a few steps behind.

"Big brother, big sister, thank you."

Louise's voice was a little hoarse. She knew that her brother's body was returned by the church, which meant that the incident should have been resolved.

Lu Chen glanced at the tombstone and said, "You have a good brother."

He had seen the victim's information. He was poor but kind, progressive and caring about his family. He and his sister were dependent on each other and had taken care of her for many years.

Louise knelt down, touched the inscription with her hand, took out a small cake from her arms, and placed it in front of the tombstone. "My brother actually likes sweets. He has always wanted to try the cake made by Mrs. Assis, but he has never done it." I bought it because it was very expensive.”

After she put down the cake, she stood up again and looked at Lu Chen, with some hope and fear in her eyes, "Did Brother find that notebook later?"

She hoped to hear that the "murderer" who killed her brother had been brought to justice, but she was afraid that there would be no results, so the church sent back her brother's body.

For some reason, she just has this obsession. Even though she is just an ordinary girl, she still hopes that those who have done wrong things will be punished.

Lu Chen took out the Death Note, "The person who brought this note is dead, but if you want."

Leng Yue, who was standing behind Lu Chen, widened her eyes slightly and wondered what this meant. Was she going to destroy this fairy-level growth equipment? ?

Louise stretched out her hand. She instinctively felt that the note was scary, but she still bravely stretched out. When she was about to touch the Death Note, she stopped, her shoulders trembling a little, "That person, why did you take the note?" To my brother?"

"He just needs a dead person and an event to attract us."

Lu Chen's tone was calm.

"Then why my brother?"

Louise's voice trembled, and her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes.

"There is no reason, it's just a coincidence. For the person who caused this incident, anyone can die."

Lu Chen looked at the girl with a painful and ferocious expression and said slowly.

"This is so unreasonable!"

Louise was so excited that she grabbed Lu Chen's shirt, "Why my brother, why my brother!"

Lu Chen was like a mountain. No matter how hard the girl tried, she could not shake it. Only the dark windbreaker kept shaking.

He was silent, looking at the rushing river in the distance, with its vast mist and rising clouds.

Yes, it is unreasonable for a mortal to be killed by weirdness or mystery.

But there are so many unreasonable things in this world. Even the bones of the dead cannot be buried. Their families don’t know the truth. They don’t know where to go to seek justice. They don’t know who to seek revenge from, and they don’t have the power.

All the Night Watchmen can do is try to maintain the stability of the world. They complete tasks one after another, but behind each task is the "only" of many people.

Lu Chen couldn't think of anything to comfort her, so he just touched the girl's head and said, "It will feel better if you cry."

In the empty cemetery, the heart-rending cry of the girl echoed. The man stood in front of the tombstone, as silent as a sculpture, and the woman stood behind him, lowering her eyebrows and nodding.

After a long time, Louise seemed to be tired. She let go of Lu Chen's clothes, wiped her tears, and looked at the dark notebook in Lu Chen's hand, "Is it useful to you?"

Lu Chen nodded, "But if you want."

Louise turned around, squatted in front of the tombstone, was silent for a while, shook her head, her voice was a little hoarse, "No, it turns out that the most terrifying thing has never been these things."

The scary thing is the human heart, the human heart that can trample life wantonly for its own purposes.

Lu Chen took a step forward, squatted down and picked up the cake placed in front of the tombstone. Under Louise's puzzled eyes, he divided it into two halves, ate one piece in one bite, and handed the remaining part to Louise. .

"The dead don't get to eat. Maybe you should try the cake that your brother always dreamed of."

Lu Chen put the cake into Louise's hands, "It tastes good."

He stood up and said, "Go to Defias Church and find Bishop Bunir. He will arrange for you to become a nun, if you want."

After saying that, Lu Chen turned around and walked out of the cemetery to the east.

"Big brother……"

Louise stood up, holding the piece of cake in her hand, and looked at Lu Chen and Leng Yue who were leaving.

Lu Chen paused for a moment, "The cake is delicious. I didn't bring any cash today, so I'll give it something else as payment."

He turned back and smiled, "As you said, some things are unreasonable, and the world should be more reasonable."

Lu Chen and Leng Yue walked outside the cemetery. The eastern sun climbed high, passing through the morning fog, leaving brilliant golden light between the sky and the earth, shining on the girl, dispelling the cold winter.

The two figures gradually became farther and farther away, until they were blurred, and Louise gradually came back to her senses.

She put the half of the cake to her mouth, took a bite, and tears streaked down her cheeks.

"So sweet."

I finished writing this small copy in one go. It’s the end of the month and my family members are taking monthly passes. I haven’t finished receiving the event bonus coins yet (ω)
