I became the king of villains in the game

The old lady nodded, showing an amiable smile, and her eyes showed expectation.

"I just came to see my loved ones...haven't seen them for a long time and miss them so much."

Alex raised his brows, bent down and took out the two silver medals from his hat, and gave one back to the old lady.

"This is for you. I hope you will have a safe journey and see your loved ones again."

He seemed to see that the old lady was not rich, so he said.

The old lady was a little surprised, holding the silver cup in her hand, she smiled one last time:

"Thank you, you are a kind boy, may the moonlight bless you."

Newsboys run through the streets, waving newspapers and yelling:

"Big news! Big news! The royal family is under attack! A war is about to start!!"

When the passers-by heard the news, they all paid attention. Many men stopped the newsboy, and then took out five copper croiss to buy a newspaper.

Amidst the exclamation, the newsboy quickly sold most of the newspapers and was happily counting the copper coins when a tall figure suddenly came to him.

"Two newspapers, and a pack of 'Sunshine' cigarettes by the way."

The newsboy looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a beard.

"Ah, sir, there are just two left...here."

The newsboy rummaged through a satchel that was bigger than his upper body, took out two newspapers and a pack of cigarettes, and handed them over.

Golov gave 27 Bronze Crows and returned to the carriage parked by the roadside with the items.

"Miss Maggie, here is today's paper."

He handed one of them into the curtain of the carriage, and a voice came from inside:

"Thank you, Golov."

"You're welcome."

Golov responded.

He set out the day before yesterday according to the order of the head of the group, and just brought Miss Maggie back today.

Driving the carriage to Jack's manor, he opened the cigarette case, lit one for himself, and then opened the newspaper.

"Ok?"

Chapter 2: The Beginning of the Turmoil of the Empire

"—Assassination of the Sun Royal Family! Duke Brautisul was attacked by enemy assassins, and his life and death are unknown now! War will begin!"

Chen Lun looked at the newspaper with deep eyes.

Golov was sitting on the sofa. He had just sent Maggie back, and then gave the newspaper to Chen Lun.

There are not many details in the newspaper, but only a general description of what happened.

This incident happened in Tourmaline King City, the time was the day before yesterday, and that day was the birthday of Monica Trisul, the daughter of Grand Duke Blau Trisul.

At the birthday banquet, a Transcendent disguised as a guest shot and severely injured Duke Blau, and was rounded up by the Executioner Squad of the Asylum and the Lantern Guardian Squad of the Church of the Sun on the way to escape.

After interrogation, the assassin came from the neighboring country "Anlong United Kingdom".

This kingdom does not belong to the Cuisul Empire, but is composed of three former principalities and more than a dozen small countries.

They are bordered by the Beelzebub Kingdom to the west and the Trisur Empire to the east, which is equivalent to a country living in the cracks.

Due to the special geographical location and the rich resources in the country, it has always been coveted by the empire, and there are often frictions between the two sides.

However, because the empire has been marching eastward in recent years, launching colonial wars overseas in an attempt to cross the ocean and occupy the foggy continent, it was unable to make a formal war against the United Kingdom of Anlong.

Now this assassination case is like a fuse, which has aroused the anger of the people of the empire.

The land of the United Kingdom of Anlong, the original three principalities belonged to the Cuisul Empire hundreds of years ago, and now the public opinion in the country hopes to take back this land as soon as possible.

But this assassination case is full of doubts, such as how strong the extraordinary person is to openly assassinate the duke in Wangcheng, under the eyes of the Sun Royal Family, and why he chose to assassinate on such a grand occasion instead of a more powerful person. The timing of concealment and so on...

However, Chen Lun knew that these were not important, because perhaps all of these were guided by the Sun Royal Family themselves, and the purpose had already been achieved.

'Is that prince's layout...?I remember that there was a post in my previous life that analyzed the main plot of version 1.0. It was precisely because of the war between the Trisur Empire and the Anlong Kingdom that the Red Apple Church took the opportunity to start the turmoil. '

He mused.

As he continued to recall, he retrieved some of those vague memories.

The prince of the Trisul Empire is named Dazlet, who is favored by the Sun King, and the prince participates in many political and state affairs.

This assassination case has been analyzed by players, and it is very likely that the prince secretly promoted it. The purpose was to remove the opposition in the royal family and at the same time find an excuse to start a war.

Kill two birds with one stone.

And the players who were active on the border at that time unearthed some clues through various branch plots. For example, the Duke of Blau was actually secretly trading with the United Kingdom of Anlong, selling a large number of unique equipment and weapons of the empire.

This may be one of the reasons why the prince killed him.

'The war should start in a short time, this is what I have experienced in my previous life... And by then, the Church of the Red Apple will change its previous dormant state and start to move around in the empire. '

Chen Lun felt some pressure.

'I need money now, I need experience points for upgrading, and I need follow-up extraordinary knowledge... The Red Apple Church will definitely choose this stall, temporarily escape the surveillance of the Church of the Sun and the shelter, and the high-end combat power will end...Only Strength is the guarantee of survival in this chaos. '

He looked at the rest of the paper.

Interestingly, at the birthday party of the Grand Duke's daughter Monica, the former president of the Meidan jewelry company and Earl Lawson, who was rescued by Chen Lun, presented extremely precious diamonds together.

But unfortunately, they all died on the way the assassins must pass.

Chen Lun couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it seems that Earl Lawson's fate has not been completely changed by him, and he still cannot escape death in the end.

"Thank you for your hard work, Golov, go and rest."

He put down the newspaper and said to the bearded man opposite the sofa.

Golov got up and took off his hat to salute, and left immediately.

Chen Lun looked at the empty living room and shook his head slightly.

As soon as Maggie came back, she briefly greeted her, and then went upstairs to study new potions in the research room. He hadn't had time to ask about the situation of the plague outside the city.

"Forget it, let's go see what's going on with Floyd and Noah first."

"Mr. Jack, this is a portrait of Mr. Golov, Mr. Button, Miss Floyd and myself..."

Noah lifted a piece of white cloth in the corner, revealing a box with more than a dozen oil paintings neatly placed inside.

Chen Lun went over to check it out, and found that these paintings had been simply mounted, and contained some extraordinary power.

Among them, Golov and Barton have the most paintings, each with five paintings, with different expressions and actions.There is only one portrait of Floyd and Noah.

Chen Lun picked up Floy's painting. She was wearing a black dress and her eyes were blindfolded.

[Extraordinary - Character Oil Paint (Disposable Consumable)]

Item description: A talented painter copied the extraordinary power of a certain lady with extremely high attainments, and preserved a rare power of the moon.

"I didn't want to bother Miss Floyd for too long, so I only drew one."

Noah smiled sheepishly.

"It's okay, Noah."

Chen Lun then picked up the self-portrait that belonged to the other party. On it was a young man wearing glasses, washing the paint palette in his hand.

"This is the self-portrait I drew when I recalled myself as a child. You are laughing at me, Mr. Jack."

Noah said.

"Beautifully drawn, it is both a work of art and something extraordinary..."

Chen Lun chuckled and praised.

"And during this period of time, you have indeed controlled your diet, and you have lost a lot of weight...I believe that you will be able to return to the appearance in the painting soon."

Noah smiled and expressed his thanks for his compliment.

Chen Lun put all these paintings into the blood poem ring, and then said to Noah:

"Come and draw one for me."

"Okay! Mr. Jack!"

Noah seemed very happy, and immediately prepared the painting tools and moved a chair for Chen Lun.

After Chen Lun sat down, Noah started working without stopping.The bone key on his neck squirmed slightly, and immediately on the floor of the room, blood slowly seeped out, and an easel emerged from it.

Noah held a paint palette in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, and began to paint on the palette.

After a while.

Chen Lun felt a mysterious connection between the painting and himself, but he didn't feel any discomfort.

"It's done, Mr. Jack."

Noah walked over holding the painting with a smile on his face.

"You are indeed the most perfect man I have ever seen. This painting is far from being able to describe your demeanor."

He turned the painting over, and it showed Chen Lun meditating with his chin resting on top.

The black mid-length hair is slightly curly, revealing the handsome face and deep eyes below.

"Thank you, Noah."

Chen Lun took the painting and nodded with satisfaction.

He was a little curious about how much power Noah had in the portrait he drew for himself with the help of [Gallery of Bones].

Chen Lun took another look at the paintings covered with white cloth in Noah's room, and knew in his heart that most of them were ordinary portraits of himself.

I just don't know if Noah listened to his own words and put clothes on them.

Wait until after dinner is over.

Chen Lun planned to find an opportunity to chat with Floyd alone, but he didn't expect that the other party would find him first.

"The spar you gave me before... Although it can spark red lightning when used alone, I found through experiments that adding some other extraordinary materials will have a better effect after being fused and forged."

As Floy said, she took out two samples from the grape ring.

A dagger and a wand respectively.

"This weapon is not considered a trick, it can only be said to be an item with mysterious power."

"Thank you, Floyd."

Chen Lun took the two weapons and looked them over carefully.

[Extraordinary Weapon - Unnamed]

Item description: A weapon containing high temperature and erosive power. It looks like a dagger with the length of an arm. The whole body of the sword is made of black faceted spar. The blade is very sharp. When it collides when attacking, it will trigger a red arc.

The whole is a fusion of a variety of extraordinary materials, cast by the extraordinary forging power of the moon, it is a seemingly simple, but very delicate weapon.

Chen Lun stretched out his hand and covered Didak's armor on his palm, his pale fingers lightly brushed against the blade, making a soft clang.

Zizi!
