I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 670 - 436 Queen Matthaios_2

Chen Lun paid no attention to this and calmly followed Orianna.

Moments later, they arrived at a two-story building deep in the settlement.

“How about that, isn’t it magical? A building with two floors is unique to our ‘Thorn Settlement’ in the eastern territories, usually serving as a meeting hall and occasionally used to welcome distinguished guests.”

Lady Orianna introduced, with a tone slightly tinged with pride.

Chen Lun stared at the rough two-story building in front of him, finding it quite interesting.

Throughout his journey in the Land of Matthaios, he noticed that the residents almost all lived in bungalows. Indeed, as Orianna had said, such buildings were exceedingly rare.

He didn’t ridicule Orianna, as he could understand that the Matthaios people had been trapped underground for thousands of years, many of their traditions and technologies had long since disappeared, even regressing to something akin to primitive society.

Indeed, Chen Lun somewhat sympathized with them.

“It truly is quite impressive, Lady Orianna.”

Chen Lun smiled and nodded, complimenting the architecture.

Lady Orianna was very pleased. She quickly pulled Chen Lun to the door and said to the female guard,

“The person the Queen wants to see has arrived, go and report that.”

Two heroic women with high ponytails scrutinized Chen Lun, then with indifference, they nodded, turned, and walked into the building.

They soon came out again and said to Orianna,

“The Queen allows him to enter, but only him alone.”

Orianna seemed unsurprised. She nodded, then made a gesture behind her, and her attendant brought forward a handcrafted wooden box.

She handed it to Chen Lun and whispered,

“These are rare ‘Meiberry fruits’ from the Land of Matthaios, nine in total, gathered with much effort. Remember to give them to Her Majesty… Go ahead.”

“Thank you.”

Chen Lun nodded, took the wooden box, and entered the building.

In the hall was a stone round table. At the head sat a white-haired woman, her appearance refined, especially her eyes—light blue pupils conveying a sense of nobility yet indifference.

“Queen Caplan.”

Chen Lun put away the Silver Staff and removed his black hat, bowing slightly.

The Queen let her gaze rest on him for a few seconds, then nodded and gestured with her hand.

“Sit, guest from the surface.”

Chen Lun noticed that the Queen’s clothes were quite simple, just a milky white hemp robe. Her exposed hands bore a tattoo of a black Sun.

It suddenly seemed very familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Once Chen Lun sat down, the Queen spoke again,

“I have heard of your matters from Orianna, Jack… Why do you wish to meet with me?”

Chen Lun didn’t expect her to be so direct, but he quickly responded.

“Your Majesty, the Mystic Realm on the surface has no records of the Land of Matthaios, which is why I was so shocked when I inadvertently arrived here…”

Queen Caplan nodded.

“Since over four thousand years ago, when the continent collapsed and fell, we have been trapped here… This is the Sun God’s punishment for us sinners, naturally erasing our existence.”

“Your Majesty, may I know… why the Sun God would punish you?”

Chen Lun continued.

The Queen wasn’t angered, her gaze calmly fell on Chen Lun, and she slowly spoke,

“Because our ancestors did not worship the Sun God… but revered the ‘Dragon of Light.'”

“Dragon of Light…”

Chen Lun was slightly startled.

He recalled the time he led the investigation team exploring the Dark World, where they had seen a monument that recorded some deities from the early Fourth Era.

Beyond Destiny, Nature, and the True Magic God, there had also been mentions of “Dragon of Light” and “King of Giants.”

“My father once said that the Sun needs only one… The Dragon of Light, having many similarities in authority, hence a divine battle had occurred between them.”

Queen Caplan narrated the mythological past indifferently.

“The ultimate outcome was that the Dragon of Light fell, and my father became the only Sun God in the world…”

From the Queen’s brief description, Chen Lun seemed to see the apocalyptic scenes of that time as his breathing involuntarily slowed.

At the same time, he remembered the dark red celestial body at the end of darkness and the remnants of words in his mind…

‘Perhaps, apart from the ancient god ‘Dragon of Light,’ there was also the true god of the Black Sun Pathway, ‘Profound Mother,’ who had been annihilated by the Sun God… If it was as I speculated, just how powerful was the Sun God, my father?!’

Chen Lun felt a profound shock.

“In ancient times, to combat the supernatural creatures and powerful civilizations of the continent, surface humans united and established the Anita Kingdom. Later, they even communicated with the starry sky to obtain divine powers from beyond, giving rise to the ‘Starry Sky God Church,’…”

Queen Caplan continued smoothly.

“However, more than four thousand years ago, ‘Starry Sky God Church’ had internal strife, and the Anita Kingdom crumbled. Our branch of people, as punishment from the Sun God, fell underground… Do you know why this place is called ‘Land of Matthaios’? It is because at that time, the royal family of Anita was mainly composed of three clans: Tresor, Matthaios, and Hilbert… Our ancestors were the direct lineage of the Matthaios Clan.”

“So that’s the case.”

Chen Lun suddenly realized.

“Jack, tell me about the surface world,”

the Queen suddenly asked.

“Are the humans on the continent still harried by supernatural creatures and other civilizations?”

Chen Lun thought for a moment, shook his head, and said solemnly:

“The surface is now unified under the Empire, ruled by the Sun Royal Family. Moreover, the presence of the Seven Righteous God Churches suppresses the whole territory… Supernatural creatures hardly exist except in the Spirit World, and other civilizations have long vanished in the river of history.”

The Queen stared blankly in deep thought.

After a long moment, She smiled slightly.

Chen Lun was stunned by Her smile; in that moment, Queen Caplan seemed to possess an ineffable charm.

“The Sun Royal Family?”

the Queen asked immediately afterward.

“Yes, the Tresor Family that worships the Sun God, my father…”

Chen Lun explained.

Queen Caplan’s eyes narrowed, and She abruptly said:

“Andre Tresor, has He fallen?”

“No… the Sun King still rules over the Empire.”

Chen Lun answered truthfully.

The Queen took a deep breath and muttered:

“Over four thousand years… It’s unimaginable that our ancestors from the same Anita civilization now rule over the contemporary surface civilization, basking in flowers and sunlight, while we are trapped underground, forever without daylight.”

She shook her head in self-mockery.

“Not only did father abandon us here, but He also sent a ‘Gatekeeper’ to guard the only path to the surface… The people of Matthaios are unwilling; a hundred years ago, the previous four Queens jointly attempted to storm ‘The Great Gate’ but failed and returned. It was not the first attempt, but I’ve long known that for the Land of Matthaios to return to the surface, we must seek father’s forgiveness… Other methods offer little hope.”

After a long pause,

Queen Caplan raised her head and asked solemnly:

“Jack, I would like to ask you for a favor.”

“Please speak, Your Majesty.”

Chen Lun said politely.

“If you find any of our ‘Descendants of Light’ on the surface, please help them as much as possible. The residents of the east and I, will surely repay your kindness.”

Queen Caplan raised her hand, revealing the black sun imprint on the back of her hand.

“This is the symbol of the ‘Descendants of Light’; they have established a secret organization on the surface, known as ‘Solar Cross Society’.”

Chen Lun was momentarily stunned.

The image of the Silver Dragon Witch flashed through his mind.

‘That’s right! Noah’s mother, the Witch Her Majesty, also has such an imprint on her hand…’
