Their commission was suspicious.

And even now, the old bug is still being whipped.

"It's getting late, we should go back to find Zhongli, otherwise he might be getting impatient," Yae Sakura reminded him, tapping the table with her finger.

More accurately, it was a reminder to Karen, who was obsessed with that fried rice.

For foodies, there's simply no way to resist dishes of unparalleled skill.

"Ah, right." Karen realized as well.

Karen Otto, Yae Sakura, and the other two did not come to the bar because it was open for business hours; they were invited by Chen Luo.

At that time, Kallen, Otto, and Yae Sakura were visiting a blessed land, and now Zhongli is left there all alone.

“Zhongli shouldn’t be in a hurry; he’s a very patient person. But you really should go now. It’s not polite to keep Zhongli waiting,” Chen Luo said.

"Can I take this half portion of fried rice with me?" Karen asked, pointing to the remaining half portion of fried rice.

"No, let Judah's Oath make you one directly. Make a rice ball so you can eat it on the go." Chen Luo waved his hand.

No, it's really not that bad.

“Really? That’s great. Judah’s Oath, please.” Karen looked at Judah’s Oath expectantly.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"Leave it to me." Judah's Oath, seeing Karen's expectant expression, looked at Chen Luo and, after receiving Chen Luo's permission, walked towards the kitchen.

As stated in the Oath of Judah, after signing the covenant with Chen Luo, the Oath of Judah shall naturally give the highest priority to obeying all of Chen Luo's commands and shall naturally take Chen Luo as its master.

……

"Hmm. As expected, I never get tired of eating it, no matter how much I eat." The Herrscher of Knowledge said happily after finishing the last bite of fried rice.

After seeing off the trio of tourists from another world, each carrying a rice ball, the Herrscher of Knowledge continued to enjoy the remaining half of her golden fried rice.

"Whatever makes you happy."

"Lolo, why don't you try to enhance the Judah Oath to its limit with the River God's power, and then have her cook a meal?" The Herrscher of Knowledge offered a tempting suggestion (to Herrscher of Knowledge himself).

"River God's power?" Judah's Oath, standing to the side, didn't quite understand.

"Don't even think about it. The origin of the Judah Oath is a random reward. Give up on this idea." Chen Luo shook his head.

If it were any other item, no matter how outrageous, Chen Luo could create a virtual version in gold or silver, and with good luck, he could even retain the gold version. But random rewards are different; random rewards are very special.

"But can't random rewards also summon illusory forms? Although they can only exist for less than a minute." The Herrscher of Knowledge muttered softly.

Even the Law Master himself doesn't know how well he understands Chen Luo.

However, the Herrscher of Knowledge once saw Chen Luo take out a golden Friendship Revolver. The Herrscher of Knowledge remembered that the Friendship Revolver had no cooldown time and could achieve permanent control over a person.

"That's certainly possible, but the problem is that reaching the highest level of culinary skill might be the ultimate achievement. If you've already scored 100 points on the test, no matter how much you improve, the limit is still 100 points."

There might be a higher level than "divine skill," but Chen Luo didn't know.

"Also, if something can't exist forever, it shouldn't exist in the first place. Otherwise... Xiao Shi, can you still eat the food you cook now?" Chen Luo asked.

"Emmm..." Although the Herrscher of Knowledge was reluctant to admit that her cooking skills were terrible, after taking a look at the fried rice she had finished eating, she had to admit that she probably couldn't eat the food she had made anymore.

"So, let's just eat properly. Oh, by the way, Judah's Oath, could you help me make some mixed lactic acid bacteria drinks?" Chen Luo said to Judah's Oath.

"Hmm." Judah's Oath nodded and walked towards the bar counter.

According to the Oath of Judah, when he is not busy and the guests are not in a hurry, Judah prefers to manually mix drinks, because this can increase his proficiency and improve his skill level.

Who knows, he might develop into a master chef someday.

Speaking of the Oath of Judah, it's true that aside from perhaps not being very strong in combat, he can do everything else.

As a blacksmith, Liu Wenxuan's blacksmithing skill level is at the proficient level, while the blacksmithing level of the Judah Oath has reached the master level.

A blacksmith's skill level isn't even as high as a weapon's. Liu Wenxuan will probably be heartbroken for a long time after he finds out.

"There's still enough time. I need to go to the world of Akame ga Kill! to adjust the time. Do you want to come?" Chen Luo asked the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"I want to go!"

“But this time I’ll be using the monthly clock to skip one day of the story. Are you sure you want to go?” Chen Luo asked again.

"Huh? Story skip mode? Never mind then." The Herrscher of Knowledge's face was full of disdain.

"If I skip a day, doesn't that mean I won't be able to get back to the bar at all? I won't be able to see the old man for a whole day. I was hoping to win this game against him this time."

The Herrscher of Knowledge knows the story skip mode of the Moon Clock.

Simply put, it's similar to Lord Crimson, but with the ability to recall the storyline.

However, in order not to affect the bar's business, Chen Luo will not return to the bar during the plot skipping period.

The fatal flaw of the story skip mode is that quests received during the story skip period will not give you Primogems.

Deadly, utterly deadly.

Chen Luoke couldn't bear to part with the bar's nightly revenue.

Therefore, Chen Luo will use 98's special mode to temporarily disconnect the bar from the world after closing it.

In this way, no matter how long you spend in that world, it doesn't have much impact on the time spent in the bar and the world connected to the bar.

In other words, no matter how long Chen Luo wandered in the other world after closing the bar, he didn't have much time left after returning to the bar.

"It's hard to say whether you want to win a game of chess from Fu Hua or just want to see Fu Hua, but never mind. Anyway, the climax should happen tonight, so you can join later."

"Your Highness, the lactic acid bacteria are ready." Judah's Oath approached.

"Perfect, Mercury Lamp." After receiving the lactic acid bacteria, Chen Luo summoned Mercury Lamp from his doll collection.

"Father." Suigintou threw herself into Chen Luo's arms.

"Mercury Lamp, would you be willing to keep this lonely old man company for a long day?" Chen Luo said pitifully.

"I'm willing." Mercury Lamp nodded, holding Chen Luo in her arms.

Those who understand the laws have something to do, but the mercury lamp has nothing to do.

Chapter 863 The Revolutionary Army and Night Raid Member Leone

"Judah's Oath, what brings you here too?" Chen Luo, who had a mercury lamp perched on his shoulder, looked at Judah's Oath walking beside him.

"It will stay with him forever." The Judah oath did not elaborate further, but simply stated the words of his covenant.

"If you insist, of course you're welcome." Chen Luo didn't seem to reject the Judah Oath.

To be honest, Chen Luo had originally wanted to find a follower to stay by his side. Initially, he had chosen Yvette, but since Yvette returned to the church, they hadn't seen each other for several days.

It can only be said that for someone who is extremely important to the church, who had been dead for more than a month and then suddenly reappeared, the church's treatment and investigation must have been extremely serious.

Chen Luo also considered creating a clone of Silver Yvette to accompany him. This way, the original Yvette would be responsible for dealing with the main world and the church, while Silver Yvette would act as his subordinate, allowing Chen Luo to experience what it meant to be domineering.

However, seeing that Yvette seemed to dislike the other two versions of herself, Chen Luo didn't do that.

Chen Luo originally planned to spend some time alone with Suiyindeng, since Suiyindeng didn't care about bars, she only cared about spending more time with Chen Luo.

But Mercury Lamp didn't seem to mind the girl who made him such a delicious lactic acid bacteria drink.

"Your Highness, why does this city in this world feel so oppressive?" Judah's Oath, walking beside Chen Luo, asked with a frown.

Although Judah's oath didn't want to bother Chen Luo, the capital city gave Judah's oath a really bad feeling.

Judah Oath and Karen look quite similar, although this does not mean that Judah Oath must have the same personality as Karen.

But the name Judah's Oath carries the meaning of protection.

The Oath of Judah will not abandon Chen Luo to do anything extraordinary to protect humanity, but the Oath of Judah and Karen are similar in that they both stand on a very righteous position.

The Judean Oath openly expresses a love for the blood of the guilty, meaning the blood of sinners.

Therefore, the Judah Oath is inherently averse to this kind of seemingly bright and beautiful but actually lifeless and stagnant atmosphere.

This reminds me of the Judah Oath, which depicts the suffering of people under tyrannical rule.

"Because the capital of this prosperous empire that has lasted for thousands of years is rotting from the inside out. Although this capital looks bright and prosperous, as you can see, most of the pedestrians on the street have very gloomy expressions, as if they have no hope for life. All of this is due to the economic downturn and the reign of terror."

"Above, ministers manipulate the emperor, acting arbitrarily and wreaking havoc on the court; below, wealthy merchants and corrupt officials leech off the people like parasites. It's no wonder that such a capital city can be so vibrant."

The prosperity of the capital city is no exaggeration. Even in times of turmoil, vendors and clothing stores displaying luxurious garments continue to spring up everywhere.

Apart from the despairing and gloomy expressions on the faces of the people, there was no indication that the country was about to collapse.

Mercury Lamp sat quietly on Chen Luo's shoulder, completely unresponsive to anything around her. For Mercury Lamp, simply being by Chen Luo's side was enough.

As Judah's Oath followed Chen Luo, the more they strolled through the bustling capital, the more Judah's Oath frowned.

A commotion arose nearby, drawing the attention of the Judah Covenant.

"What happened over there?" Judah Oath looked toward the crowd.

"It seems... that people who oppose the Empire are being publicly executed. But basically, most of the people who get this done to are good people with a conscience. I've heard that this kind of thing is common in the capital." Chen Luo walked in that direction with the Oath of Judah.

In any case, there's a 50% chance that anyone who's an enemy of the empire is a good person.

Especially those who are publicly executed are mostly high-ranking officials or powerful people who have offended the minister's faction. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be publicly executed, but would be tortured to death in prison.

Even if such a person is not a good person, they are definitely innocent.

Where Chen Luo walked, everyone subconsciously made way for the two of them to pass easily, until Chen Luo and Judah Oath reached the huge wooden cross that had been erected.

"This..." Seeing the person bound to the huge wooden cross, with his feet off the ground and huge iron spikes and steel nails inserted into his body, wailing in pain, Judah's Oath was deeply moved.

The essence of the Judean Oath is the cross. It is normal for the Judean Oath to feel uncomfortable seeing the cross, which should be fulfilling the responsibilities of protection and blessing, now become a torture instrument.

Considering what Chen Luo just said—that these people are most likely innocent…

"Do whatever you want, don't worry about whether it will affect me." Chen Luo took a step back and said to Judah's Oath, who was seeking his opinion.

Even if the Judah Oath wanted to save these people, it would first consult Chen Luo's opinion.

"Hmm." Judah's Oath nodded and rushed to the crosses. The golden spear chains surrounding him instantly pierced through the wooden crosses. The wooden crosses, unable to support the immense weight, slowly fell backward, only to be supported by several other golden spear chains, and he and the cross were gently placed on the ground.

Judah Oath stepped forward, his gun chain entangled with the nails and pins embedded in the body, pulling them out, and then cutting the black leather strap binding the condemned.

"Ahhh!"

Although the Judah Oath was carried out quite quickly, it still caused pain to those being executed.

"Who are you?" the executioner, who was guarding the side with a squad of soldiers, shouted angrily when he saw Karen causing trouble.

"Who I am is not important; what is important is that I cannot see such inhumane things happening before my eyes." As Judas swore his oath, he did not forget to rescue the other people who were also being executed on the cross.

"She must be an enemy of the Empire! She's a revolutionary! Go and capture her! Yes, capture her alive." Upon seeing Judah's face again, a glint of greed flashed in the leader's eyes. He took a step back and ordered the soldiers behind him to rush forward.

"Humph!"

A golden streak flashed, the gun chain extended several times over, and slashed across the eyes of the executioner leader.

"Ah!!!" The leader of the executioners covered his eyes and rolled on the ground in pain.

“Indeed, it is the blood of sinners,” Judah Oath said coldly.

With a love for the blood oath of Judah, it's impossible that one cannot distinguish who the sinner is.

"Teigan user!" someone in the charging soldiers suddenly shouted.

Upon hearing the name of the Imperial Arms User, panic gripped all the soldiers, and not a single one dared to step forward; some even slowly retreated.

The chains floating around that woman look exactly like Imperial Arms, don't they?

Ordinary soldiers only know that they are Teigu users, but they don't know what specific Teigu are.

Just be scared.

After getting scared, of course they ran away.

Even their blind officer, who was rolling on the ground, ignored them, and the soldiers all ran away.

What's needed to deal with Teigu users are elite soldiers; these soldiers, who are barely better than militia, are certainly unwilling to fight to the death.

With a monthly salary of only a few hundred yuan, why are you risking your life?

What? The salary is not just a few hundred yuan, but actually quite high?

Then we absolutely cannot risk our lives!

Just run.

And those numerous ordinary people who had been watching? They've all vanished.
