Their commission was suspicious.

"Little Shi, can I borrow your Gate of Babylon for a moment?" Chen Luo called out to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Because the Herrscher of Consciousness woke up earlier today, and Chen Luo's meal wouldn't take long, the Herrscher of Consciousness didn't return to Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness, but instead stayed in the bar.

Those who understood the law, upon hearing Chen Luo's words, threw the king's treasure back to Chen Luo.

This Gate of Babylon is a reward for completing a quest and can be linked to Chen Luo's backpack.

Worried that Xiao Shi might cause trouble, Chen Luo only opened the [Miscellaneous Items Area] to Xiao Shi.

After obtaining the Gate of Babylon, Chen Luo immediately granted full access to both the Gate of Babylon and his backpack, and then took out a card.

"Amadeus, why don't you try going in and taking a look?" Chen Luo invited, holding up the gold card.

This golden card is the original card of Jeanne d'Arc Alter and the others. There are no buildings inside, only darkness, so Chen Luo calls it the "Little Black Room".

Since this card was originally designed to contain a Servant, it can also be used to imprison a Servant.

However, only one person can be imprisoned.

The small dark room was shrouded in utter darkness.

"No need," Amadeus quickly shook his head.

"You should leave this 'little black room' card to Shakespeare. What right do I have to do that?"

Amadeus had also heard from Abby that Chen Luo was going to collect some artistic and creative Servants for her.

Amadeus didn't really want to be locked in the dark room. To be precise, Amadeus felt a strange fear just looking at that card.

This is the intuition of a genius!

"Then I'll leave the composition to Mr. Amadeus. Could you perhaps come up with something original, something that Abby would find interesting for a young child?" Chen Luo suggested.

"You want me, Mozart, to compose piano pieces for children?" Mozart's voice trailed off instantly.

"What? It's not okay?" Chen Luo excitedly tossed the card in his hand.

“I’ll write two poems!!!” Amadeus promptly admitted defeat.

"Then it's hard work for you."

"Let's go, Abby, it's time for lunch. Put me down, stop holding me. It's embarrassing if others see me being held."

Chen Luo struggled for a moment before being put down by Abby.

"But you look so small, brother. Can you go out like this?"

"Wait, I'll make it bigger for you." With that, Chen Luo took out a conceptual costume from the Gate of Babylon.

The King's Companion!

Instantly restores 60% of mana

Chen Luo's originally petite body instantly swelled up.

The reason Chen Luo's body is small is because this demonic clone of Chen Luo only possesses 2/5 of the power and strength of the original body, and the magic power it receives is also only 2/5.

The inner demon, drained of its power by Jeanne Alter, shrinks as its magical energy diminishes; however, this current demonic clone grows larger as its magical energy increases.

After replenishing 60% of his magic power, Chen Luo's body instantly returned to its normal size.

However, although the magic power was fully replenished, the power level remained at 2/5.

After saying goodbye to Amadeus, Chen Luo took Abi and Xiao Shi to lunch. Although Chen Luo had just eaten lunch, what did that have to do with the demonic clone Chen Luo?

Although Chen Luo had figured out a way to break the Bai Zhi contract and didn't intend to hide anything, that would be after entering the abyss passage tomorrow; for now, he still had to pretend.

After all, according to the underlying logic of the second-level contract, if Bai Zhizhen discovered that Chen Luo was the River God, she would definitely report it to the church.

Contracts should be avoided if possible.

Especially contracts that are not led by one's own side.

However, the church is not a charity, and Bai Zhi was unwilling to offer her faith, so they could only maintain their relationship through a contract.

The church played a vital role in the early development of Baizhi, providing her with spiritual stones and guidance as needed.

Moreover, during these 50 years, everyone's energy was focused on exploring the abyss passage. Apart from war angels like Yvette who were mentally unstable, there were not many people fighting among themselves on Earth.

Therefore, it is quite normal for Baizhi to renew a Level 2 or Level 3 contract with the church.

Just as Chen Luo had expected, he didn't reveal any flaws at all when he had lunch with everyone at noon.

As for Liu Huaixi, who came to freeload a meal with Ye Yunshang?

Liu Huaixi's talent and potential are still very strong. If it were Chen Luo's true form, her talent would naturally not be very apparent.

However, Liu Huaixi should be able to recognize the Demonic Clone, since the Demonic Clone is just an accessory ability of an S-level talent.

However, Liu Huaixi's talent seemed to completely disregard whether Chen Luo was a demonic clone. Throughout lunch, although Liu Huaixi's mouth never stopped, not a single word she uttered concerned Chen Luo himself.

Liu Huaixi's Photoshop skills have been constantly mocking Chen Luo's.

It hasn't stopped at all!

Because the Demonic Clone's talent ceiling is only 40% of its original potential, Liu Huaixi's talent, which was previously overshadowed by Chen Luo's, began to unleash its full potential.

They perfectly exemplify the principle of bullying the weak and fearing the strong!

Chen Luo didn't care, since he wasn't the one being scolded anyway, but his Photoshop skills were so bad they almost burned out his CPU.

……

Bronya's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Bronya, who had been working for more than 12 hours straight and was about to fall asleep as soon as she arrived at the bar, saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

"You're awake? The surgery was a success..." A familiar voice rang in my ears.

Chapter 1057 Alicia Snatches Food from Chen Luo's Mouth

"I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?" Chen Luo asked Bronya, who was sleeping next to him and dressed in a magical pink bunny outfit.

"Bad news," Bronya said after quickly grasping the situation.

"The good news is..."

"I want to hear the bad news first."

"Are you interested in hearing anything about Xier?" Chen Luo asked calmly.

"listen!"

Bronya admitted that Chen Luo had won.

"The good news is that you'll be able to see Seele within three days, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

"Really?" Bronya seemed a little excited.

Why would I lie to you?

"And what about the bad news? Could it also be about Seele?"

"You guessed right."

"..." Duck's heart began to pound.

Bronya didn't dare to think about the bad news about Seele.

"The bad news is you need three more days. And you'll need to maintain a certain level of exploration intensity every day, otherwise it's hard to say whether this wish can be fulfilled." Seeing that Bronya might be thinking the wrong thing, Chen Luo quickly said...

"Hmm? This... isn't exactly bad news, is it?" Bronya asked, somewhat puzzled.

I've been searching for Seele for so many years. If I can find her in just three days, isn't that great news?

"What if I told you that I could have made Seele appear in front of you right away?"

"??? Really?" Bronya grabbed Chen Luo's hand excitedly.

"Originally, I mean originally, please don't get excited..." Chen Luo said somewhat awkwardly.

"The thing is..."

……

"So, originally, if you had just made a wish, I could have seen Seele immediately, but instead you made a wish that I could find Seele within three days, right?" Bronya looked at Chen Luo with a strange expression.

"Ah, I'm sorry..."

“No, Bronya didn’t mean to blame you. In fact, Bronya is very grateful to you. Compared to the years she’s been waiting for Seele, and the years to come, these three short days seem so insignificant. The reason Bronya is tired is not only because of the 14 consecutive hours of drifting, but more importantly because of the studies and training during the day. If she takes three days off to drift in the Sea of ​​Quanta, the 8 to 12 hours of drifting time each day is bearable.”

“But Bronya thinks you can be a little more unrestrained.” Bronya shook her head and said to Chen Luo very sincerely.

"The reason I found it strange just now was simply because of why you said three days later."

Bronya isn't the kind of person who's grateful for kindness but resentful for mistreatment.

In fact, Bronya was so surprised and overjoyed to see Seele within three days that she was almost disoriented.

"Why did you say three days later... well, I definitely hope you can reunite as soon as possible, but I just feel it's unrealistic to have Seele appear in front of you right away."

"When it comes to making wishes, you should be more cautious if you don't know if they'll actually come true. Or rather, I just wanted to offer my blessings at first, who knew I could actually make a wish?" Chen Luo said innocently.

"Simply put, you mean: you even dream very conservatively. Is that right?" Bronya roughly understood what Chen Luo meant.

"...From a general rational point of view, that's correct."

Hey, who would have thought that the Aura of Origin could still be used in the Honkai world?

Chen Luo hadn't seen any movement from the Origin Aura when he was in the Honkai Main World before.

Chen Luo suddenly realized that since he had been tainted by the aura of the Root, he had rarely gone to the main world of Honkai, and usually went to the pre-civilization.

Before going to the Civilization, Chen Luo didn't have anything he particularly wanted to accomplish.

The Human Orange Juice Project was certainly Chen Luo's greatest wish in the previous civilization, but the power of the Root Aura was not to make someone's wish come true.

The source energy can shorten the process, but it cannot help Chen Luo immediately fulfill his wish.

The source energy is merely a catalyst; Chen Luo still needs to put in the effort to fulfill his wish.

For example, when Chen Luo summoned Jeanne d'Arc Alter, he needed to use a golden command seal as a medium and then mix it with the aura of the Root.

And there's another problem.

You can accumulate Faith Power slowly; you don't need to spend Primogems to buy it. However, you do need to spend Primogems to buy Origin Essence.

Chen Luo needs to die once in the Root to allow his soul to be tainted by the Root's aura. However, each time he goes to the Root, Chen Luo will have to spend a lot of Primal Stones to resist the Root's erosion of him...

"Um, are 12 strands of root aura expensive?" Bronya asked hesitantly.

"Let me calculate... I stayed in the Source for 120 seconds, spending 2400 Primogems. I have about 123 strands of Source Aura on me, each strand costing about 20 Primogems..."

"What? The Quantum Sea just now actually stole 240 of my Primal Stones?" Chen Luo exclaimed in surprise.

"A lot?"

"Uh, it's a little pricey," Chen Luo said after finishing the calculations.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you. But Bronya will try her best to make it up to you," Bronya said softly.

Bronya is currently discounted by as much as 6.2%.

Unlike Mei and Kiana, it's uncertain how much genuine goodwill the 5.0% discount on the former two will generate.

However, most of Bronya's 6.2% discount comes from genuine goodwill.

However, just like the 7.0% discount, the 6.0% discount is also a hurdle.

Trusting Bronya, Chen Luo didn't ask any further questions, even though Bronya hadn't said how she would try to make it up to him.

"There's no need to apologize..." Chen Luo suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Chen Luo will definitely not lose out on this mission; he just won't earn as much.

After all, completing the quest to find Seele will reward you with 1800 Primogems.

That's what they say, but Chen Luo probably won't dare to use the Origin Aura so casually anymore.

too expensive.

Fortunately, the Origin Aura is still quite durable.

Aside from the Quantum Sea, which was a major user, the most frequent use of it was when it revived Jeanne Alter across parallel worlds using 1.5 strands of Root Aura.
