I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Chapter 602: Chapter 408 Mrs. Elk Chapter 602: Chapter 408 Mrs. Elk Chen Lun knew very well that the “Maggie’s essence” Lutina mentioned was most likely the blessing from the Cat God, “Favor of Nature.”

He had already elevated this blessing to max level, which was why others would say the essence was rich.

Chen Lun followed Lutina along a pristine white cobblestone path, members of the sect on both sides stopped in their tracks and bowed respectfully when they saw the two.

As a saintess, Lutina had no airs. She returned each greeting with a smile and a gentle nod.

Behind them followed the priest Olga on an elk, along with several squads of Holy Tree guards.

The group was headed for the “Sanctuary.”

“Have you met Maggie before?”

Lutina asked gently, tilting her head slightly toward Chen Lun.

“I had the honor once… ”
he replied.

Though he hadn’t seen her true form, the time Cat God Maggie possessed Biebu counted as a peculiar meeting.

“Do you know her current situation? It has been twenty years since I last saw Maggie… I miss her a bit.”

Lutina’s tone was tinged with melancholy.

“I heard she’s been meticulously planning something big for the one she loves, making frequent trips to the Dream Realm, even going so far as to clash with Lady Sigh…”

It was the first time Chen Lun heard this, and he was surprised.

Could it be that Cat God Maggie had fought with Lady Sigh, one of the three Ladies of Sorrow?

He shook his head and replied,
“It’s been a long time since I received any response from Her Majesty Maggie…”

This was the truth.

Since the Murder Club became part of the Righteous God Church, he had tried to contact Philip and Maggie, but both seemed to have vanished without a trace.

This had depressed Chen Lun for a while, for they were both significant connections and support for him. Having their help would have made many things more viable.

“That’s truly unfortunate…”

Lutina sighed lightly.

By this time, they had reached inside the Sanctuary.

This structure, located at the base of the Holy Tree, was grand in scale and constructed entirely from white stone bricks, with exquisite animal murals on the exterior walls. The sixteen massive wooden pillars that served as the building’s pillars were ivory white and covered in spiral patterns, giving them a sense of epic grandeur.

Guided by a green-robed maid, Chen Lun took his place in the guest seat.

Noah and Anton sat next to him.

Sitting down together were also the priest Olga and the guard captain of the Holy Tree, Golian.

“Please, this is ‘Fostor Tea’ unique to Kellettville Forest, it has a sweet flavor with a rich aftertaste… The Elk Lady is especially fond of it, I hope you will like it too.”

Lutina gestured with her hand, and the green-robed maid brought the hot tea to Chen Lun.

Chen Lun thanked her and took a sip from the cup.

Indeed, the flavor was as wonderful as Lutina had described.

“Jack, is your destination this trip the Augusta Mountains?”

Lutina asked softly.

“Yes, I came to deliver a letter for a friend.”

Chen Lun put down his cup and said.

Lutina thought for a moment and smiled.

“Hmm… The Augusta Mountains are rarely visited. The only person I can think of there is the hermit Fleurette of Meteor Tower.”

“Exactly, that Great Mage…”

Chen Lun did not deny it, clearly stating his intention.

However, Lutina shook her head.

“If you’re hoping to hand over the letter personally, it might be difficult… Fleurette the hermit has been secluding himself for years to study magic and rarely meets anyone, even Lady Elk has scarce opportunity to see him.”

Chen Lun raised an eyebrow.

He hadn’t expected the difficulty of this mission to be because of the hermit’s reclusiveness.

But Lutina quickly reassured him,
“However, Fleurette, being a high-ranking member of the Magic Faction and exceptionally proficient in Divination, might already know of your arrival… If he wishes to see you, you will indeed meet him on this trip.”

Chen Lun read between the lines.

That was to say, whether this mission could be accomplished depended on Fleurette’s will.

If he did not wish to see him, then this trip might mostly be wasted.

Chen Lun just hoped that the Great Mage was aware of his purpose and still harbored affection for his student Carmen…

“Thank you for clarifying that, Your Grace Lutina.”

Chen Lun thanked the saintess.

Then, Lutina turned her gaze to Noah, the bespectacled young man beside him.

“Young man, could I see those paintings of yours from before?”

Noah looked surprised.

He quickly remembered that he had promised the guide girl Lutina yesterday to share his paintings with her, but due to the sudden arrival of rats, he had failed to keep his promise.

Now, the saintess of the Naturalist Sect was referring to that matter.

“Sorry, I forgot…”

Noah stood up, somewhat embarrassed.

“No worries, it’s not too late now.”

Lutina smiled warmly.

Blushing slightly, Noah sought Chen Lun’s opinion with a glance, then took out the works he had completed in the forest from his painting bag. He handed them to the green-robed maid, who delivered them to Lutina.

Chen Lun took the opportunity to glance at them. Noah’s works totaled three pieces: “Rat People,” “Hunter’s Cabin,” and “Forest Night View.” From Chen Lun’s perspective, though he couldn’t judge their value, they seemed very realistic, even more so than photographs.

“It’s evident you lack much experience with still-life painting; while the paintings are realistic, they lack the details that touch the heart…”
