Chen Lun was thinking.

The thought that popped up in his mind suddenly reminded him of what Arnold once said——

‘Arnold called Martin Gustus, the former Pope of the Church of the Sun, his uncle. If he is really a prince, this is reasonable. After all, the relationship between the Sun Royal Family and the Church of the Sun is close. '

But he soon had some doubts.

'But if this is the case, then why did Arnold, as the high-ranking person of the sun, stay at the end of the darkness, unwilling to leave, and even lost most of his memory... He seems to have not seen his sister Anna for a long time, and the impression even Still stuck in her childhood, and the Sun Royal Family almost never claims to have two princes, what the hell is going on? '

Chen Lun frowned tightly, always feeling that there was some secret hidden in it.

Perhaps this will be an unknown secret inside the royal family.

Looking at the back of the Sun Princess, Chen Lun was thoughtful. Immediately, he put down these mental activities and returned his attention to the imperial celebration.

After the awarding ceremony was over, there was a song and dance performance arranged by the royal family. The event lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon. The residents of Wangcheng who came to participate in the celebration left with smiles on their faces.

But for the bigwigs on the high platform, the celebration has only just begun.

Because Prince Dazlet held a royal dinner and invited these big shots to attend. After all, the occasion was special, so Chen Lun asked his subordinates to leave first, and only brought Floyd with him to the Sun Palace with the royal ceremonial team.

The prince prepared a special carriage for all the guests. Chen Lun took Floyd's hand and got into his own carriage. There were only the two of them in the carriage.

"How about it, are you nervous? We're going to attend the royal family's dinner next, and there will be many real big names in the empire present."

Chen Lun opened the drink cabinet in the carriage, took out a bottle of juice drink and a bottle of milk, poured a glass of orange juice for Floyd, and asked aloud.

Froy is wearing a purple evening dress today, her light golden long hair is coiled up, revealing a pair of bright amethyst earrings, plus the crescent moon pendant on her chest, the whole person looks extremely beautiful.

She stretched out her white hand to take the juice, took a sip, and smiled.

"Don't be nervous, because you are by my side."

Floy's purple eyes stared at Chen Lun with a smile.

Chen Lun poured himself a glass of milk, and smiled at her.

Roll...

The carriage traveled due north along the main road in the central area, and stopped after approaching the Sun Palace. The driver told Chen Lun that he could only go up on foot, which was the rule of the royal family.

After thanking Chen Lun, he led Floyd out of the carriage, climbed up the straight and spacious white marble steps, and climbed up the steps.

There are many other invited dignitaries around, accompanied by various stewards of the royal family, walking along the steps towards the huge golden palace at the end.

The steps are very long, and Chen Lun and his wife walked for about ten minutes to get there.

In front of the huge arch, there were already several teams of royal welcome personnel waiting. After seeing Chen Lun, one of the stewards strode forward and saluted him.

"Mr. Jack Speight, and this beautiful lady, please, the dinner will start in two hours, now you can walk around in the banquet hall freely, enjoying music and refreshments."

The steward moved gracefully, with one hand behind his back, slightly bowed, and raised his hand to lead the door.

Chen Lun smiled politely, nodded and thanked, and led Floyd into the banquet hall on the side of the palace.

As soon as I entered, I heard the melodious violin and piano ensemble, and countless men and women in formal dresses shuttled inside, or stopped to chat, or looked around.

The place is quite spacious and bright. The tens-meter-high dome is painted with exquisite murals, and nine giant chandeliers are distributed in the shape of petals. There are also large and small oil paintings hanging on the smooth painted walls, all of which are from the hands of famous artists.

Here, Chen Lun even saw portraits of members of the Sun Royal Family.

"Is that the Sun King?"

Floy's beautiful eyes reflected the light of the chandelier, and she turned her head to stare at a giant oil painting in the center of the banquet hall.

Following her gaze, Chen Lun saw that in the oil painting, which was more than ten meters high and four to five meters wide, there was a golden throne inlaid with various gemstones and crystals, on which sat a blond man.

He has deep facial features, with a light stubble, and a calm but majestic expression. The golden armor on his body was engraved with numerous patterns, the shoulders were decorated with two lion heads, and the reddish-brown cloak was hanging down on the ground, looking very heroic.

"Yes, that is Emperor Trisul, the Sun King Andre."

Chen Lun looked at the oil painting and said softly.

Although he only saw the imperial king from a distance once in the middle of version 2.0 of his previous life, he was quite impressed with him. Because the opponent was mobilizing on the front line of the war at that time, his body exuded golden radiance, as if a god had descended into the world, which made people awe-inspiring.

"Come on, let's go over there and have a look."

Chen Lun took Floyd's hand and walked to the east side of the banquet hall, where the walls were covered with portraits of members of the Sun Royal Family.

Apart from Prince Dazlet and Princess Anna, there were dozens of men, women and children. Chen Lun only recognized a few of them, and had never seen the rest.

Even if he was known as a "know-it-all" in his previous life, he was limited by his level of strength at that time and had no chance to get access to such high-level information.

Among these portraits, one painting caught Chen Lun's attention.

It was an empty chair, standing in the darkness, with a sword on it.

"You are curious why there is such a special painting among the portraits of members of the Sun Royal Family, right?"

At this time, a magnetic chuckling male voice came.

Chen Lun and Floye turned their heads and saw the prince Dazlet walking slowly, followed by the princess and several dignitaries.

"Your Majesty the Prince, Your Majesty the Princess."

Chen Lun bowed to him.

Dazlet smiled at him, as if waiting for his answer.

"Yes, I'm curious."

Although Chen Lun vaguely guessed the answer in his heart, maybe it had something to do with Arnold, but he didn't say it, but pretended to be puzzled.

"It stands to reason that even if members of the royal family pass away, their portraits will not be revoked. This is their birthright honor... But this member is a bit special. If Anna insisted on hanging this painting..."

The prince said, but the princess beside him suddenly frowned and interrupted coldly:

"Brother! Don't forget what your father said!"

"Okay, okay, I see, Anna..."

Dazlet shrugged and gave Chen Lun an apologetic look.

"Sorry, Jack, this matter involves some royal scandals, so I can't tell you the truth."

He ignored the princess' cold eyes and patted Chen Lun's shoulder affectionately.

"I'm very optimistic about you, Jack. The stability of the empire will need your efforts in the future. Don't let me down."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Prince."

Chen Lun humbly stroked his chest and lowered his head.

Dazlet nodded slightly, and after saying excuse me, he led the people behind him to leave the spot, and walked towards other guests with an amiable smile on his face.

When the other party left, the princess turned her head again and glanced at Chen Lun with an indescribably calm look.

‘Princess Anna, what exactly do you mean? '

Chen Lun was a little confused.

Immediately, an unrecognizable female voice came from his ear:

"Don't get too close to the prince."

Chen Lun was slightly taken aback.

He could tell that the voice belonged to Princess Anna.

Looking up, the prince and his party had gone far away, and the princess followed behind her brother as usual, as if the voice just now was just Chen Lun's hallucination.

'Why did she remind me...'

Chen Lun became more and more puzzled.

After taking a deep breath, he put this matter in his heart, and immediately asked Floyd:

"Are you hungry? Would you like some snacks?"

Floy shook her head.

"Then let's find a place to sit."

Chen Lun pointed to a sofa and said.

"Um."

Floyd smiled in agreement.

As time goes by, more and more guests are present.

Soon the dinner began with the prince's announcement.

On one side of the stage, the court musicians played a gentle and comfortable melody, and everyone sat down to eat. The meals presented at the banquet were cooked by the royal chefs, and the most expensive ingredients were used. Even Floyd had two mouthfuls. After that, they all whispered to Chen Lun that it was delicious.

But at this moment, an abrupt voice sounded:

"Everyone."

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw Duke Abirama standing up slowly at a round table, with a wine glass in his hand and a smile on his face.

"As we all know, the catastrophe of the empire this time originated from the turmoil caused by the Red Apple Church... Among the several forces that helped to suppress the Red Calamity, the new Orthodox Church' Generous Council has contributed a lot. The Baron offers a toast."

He raised his glass to Chen Lun.

Everyone watched this scene with smiles on their faces, and many dignitaries applauded.

Chen Lun frowned secretly. He didn't know what the duke's plan was, but he still had to be superficial, so he responded with a faint smile, and also raised his own cup, but there was only hot milk in it.

After the Duke of Abirama finished drinking, he did not sit down, but continued to speak:

"However, I heard a strange thing recently... Many residents of Wangcheng bought a god-given item called 'Holy Water of Atonement' in the Generous Council, saying that drinking this holy water can wash away past sins, But ended up drinking himself into the hospital."

"So, there is something wrong with the so-called god-given items peddled by the Generous Council?"

Another young nobleman at the table with the Duke said in surprise.

"I don't dare to talk about the things of the Orthodox Church, but I have collected some 'holy water', and I brought it with me. I plan to take this opportunity to ask Baron Jack Speight, what's going on?"

As the Duke of Abirama said, he took out a reagent from his arms, which contained half a tube of transparent liquid.

Chen Lun looked at the object in his hand and immediately understood what the other party meant.

"It seems that the duke has been inquiring about the generosity parliament. This guy is very smart, and he caught the stupid thing Brendan did before I came to the king's city... He wants to make me unable to step down and indirectly attack generosity. Parliamentary fame? '

He couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

The guests present were all high-ranking and powerful people, and soon they all understood the meaning of the Duke's words. They all looked at the young man in the black hat at the other table, wanting to take a look with great interest. How will the young senior leaders of the church respond.

"Uncle Abirama, can you show me the 'holy water' in your hand?"

At this time, the prince on the throne suddenly spoke.

"Of course, Prince Dazlet."

The Duke of Abirama knew very well what was in his hand, and the prince asked for an inspection, and he wished for it, so he readily gave the reagent bottle to the royal attendant and asked it to be delivered to the prince.

Under everyone's gaze, the prince uncorked the bottle, sniffed it lightly, and then frowned slightly.

"This is the smell of tap water, with a faint smell of disinfectant."

After making his evaluation, he planned to take a sip, but was stopped by the stewards behind him.

"Your Majesty, no!"

The chief steward, Babaye, went directly to the prince and humbly offered to let him drink it.

"In that case, Babaye, come and see what this holy water is."

The prince smiled and handed the things in his hand to the chief steward.

The latter didn't talk nonsense, he directly raised his head and took a sip. After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"This is tap water."

Everyone couldn't help being in an uproar.

The Council of Generosity used tap water to defraud believers of their belongings?

What a hideous scandal!

Spreading the word is not just to discredit the generous council, even the imperial government and the Sun Royal Family will be affected, after all, the Church of the Seven Righteous Gods was appointed by the royal family.

"Jack, how do you explain this?"

The prince looked at Chen Lun seriously.

It seems that if he cannot give a reasonable explanation, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Chen Lun got up slowly, bowed to Prince Dazlet, and then said lightly:

"This is just one-sidedness of the Duke of Abirama, and the 'holy water' in his hand did not come from the Council of Generosity. As for where it came from, I don't know..."

"You mean that Uncle Abirama is slandering you?"

The prince said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chen Lun said calmly.

"Wangcheng Generous Church does provide believers with a kind of 'holy water', but it is not a hoax created by ordinary tap water... but has real extraordinary powers, which can heal injuries and diseases, and delay aging."

He took out a golden cup containing the fountain of youth.

"This is the real 'Holy Water', His Majesty can check it."

Seeing this, the prince nodded, and turned his head to ask Babaye, the general manager, to fetch the holy water from Chen Lun's hand.

This time, Babaye frowned after taking a sip of the fountain of youth.

"Indeed, as Mr. Jack said, this is an extraordinary thing, containing strong life force... not only can heal injuries and diseases, but also prolong life."

The guests all showed a look of surprise, all the supernatural things were given to the believers?

The Council of Generosity is true to its name, generous enough...

Taking this opportunity, Chen Lun added:

"As the new Orthodox Church, the Generous Council is trying its best to protect the believers. How could it cheat their money and trample their bodies like Duke Abirama said..."

Duke Abirama's smile faded away, and he looked at him expressionlessly.

Chen Lun took out two more "Pearl Girl Meimei" developed by Maggie, handed them to the chief steward Babaye, bowed to the prince and princess and said:

"These are two potions made from holy water. They have stronger effects. After taking them, they can not only delay aging, but also improve their own charm and quick thinking... They are here as a gift for the imperial celebration, dedicated to the prince and the prince. Your Majesty the Princess."

The prince chuckled and nodded appreciatively.

But the Duke of Abirama suddenly interjected:

"Baron Jack Speight, you said I slandered you, but the dozen or so believers who were sent to the hospital because of the 'Holy Water' are real witnesses! You..."

"Shut up."

Princess Anna suddenly said coldly.

Everyone looked at her in surprise, even the prince was slightly startled.

Princess Anna turned her head to look at Duke Abirama with a face of confusion, and said slowly:

"Duke, I know you have a good relationship with Archbishop Terrence, but this is not the reason why you deliberately made things difficult for Jack on such an occasion. Put away this boring trick, I don't want to listen to you anymore."

Duke Abirama was taken aback for a moment, then took a deep breath, and humbly bowed his head to the princess. He knew that the few hole cards he still had hidden in his hand were useless... Princess Anna's words meant that the plan had failed.

Chen Lun was a little surprised. He didn't know why Princess Anna would speak for him, but he also looked at the dining table of the Church of the Sun because of this. Terrence glanced at him expressionlessly.

"I had some misunderstandings with His Majesty Terrence in the past, and hereby I apologize to him..."

With a smile on his face, Chen Lun bowed towards the Sun Church.

"However, when we suppressed the Rotov family last time, we had a tacit cooperation with His Majesty Terrence. I hope there will be such opportunities in the future."

The Pope of the Church of the Sun, Difuni, and all the high-level officials remained silent, as if Chen Lun did not exist. But Terrence, who was watched by everyone, put down his knife and fork, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and nodded to Chen Lun.

"There will be such a chance, Jack."

Terrence said lightly.

Chen Lun didn't seem to hear the indifference implied in his tone, and the smile on his face remained undiminished.

"In this case, everyone, please continue to eat."

The prince gestured with his hand.

The guests at the scene felt sorry to see the end of this good show. They wished that the conflict between the two sides would become more intense...that would be interesting.

"pity……"

The high-level secret channel of the History and Ritual Association and the Hailing Regiment.

However, the top leaders of the Moon Sect, the Stars Sect, and the Madman Sect remained silent throughout the entire process, as if they were indifferent to this.
