I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 671 - 437: Investigation Mission Ends
Chapter 671 -437: Investigation Mission Ends
Chen Lun pondered for a moment.
“The likelihood of Her Majesty, the Silver Dragon Witch Blaze, being a Descendant of Light is not high, for she belongs to the Constellation Faction and is not a converted Saint… The reason she possesses the brand of the black sun is very likely because of her husband. I heard her mention before that Noah’s father was a member of the Solar Cross Society, and it is likely for this reason that Her Majesty also joined the organization.”
His thoughts turned swiftly, and soon, he formed a question.
“But… wasn’t the Solar Cross Society eradicated by the Empire long ago? Her Majesty personally told me that even the Deity they worshipped, the Proud Sun, was banished and forgotten by the people.”
At that moment, Queen Caplan continued to speak:
“The Descendants of Light born in the Land of Matthaios are rare. From a young age, they are arranged to be educated and trained in the best settlements. They are the hope of Matthaios, shouldering the responsibility of saving their homeland… But sadly, once the Descendants of Light head to the surface, they sever their connection with this place. They cannot return, and we cannot ascend… Yet the people of Matthaios firmly believe that they are constantly striving for their homeland, seeking a way out.”
As Chen Lun listened to the other party’s words, for some reason, he was reminded of Kazt Town in the Dream Realm.
The situations were remarkably similar; the Black Cat tribe to which Nada belonged was just like the “Descendants of Light” from the Land of Matthaios, both having left their homelands to find a way to save their people.
“Daytime thoughts lead to nighttime dreams… If there is a real-world counterpart to the Dream Realm’s Cat Town, then it must certainly be the Land of Matthaios.”

Chen Lun was somewhat moved.
He then conversed briefly with the Queen, learning some secrets of past epochs, while she in turn learned many things about the surface world from him.
In the end, Chen Lun inquired with Queen Caplan about some information concerning the “Dragon of Light” and the “Giant King.”
“These are two Ancient Gods born in the earliest of eras, who, being two of the most powerful entities at the time, received the worship and faith of many civilizations and creatures… Regrettably, by the time of The Fourth Era, both Ancient Gods had perished.”
Queen Caplan explained calmly.
“The Dragon of Light died in the ‘War of the Sun God,’ but the specifics of the event and the subsequent details are unknown to all. Descriptions of the Dragon have been reduced to a mere few strokes in the annals of history… As for the Giant King, rumors suggest his death involved several True Gods, and his ties to the Land of Matthaios were profound, for upon his fall, his blood transformed into the ‘Dark River’, the source nurturing us, the Descendants of Darkness… Yet the remainder of his body vanished without a trace, supposedly giving rise to a new god.”
Chen Lun was quite astonished to hear such hidden history.
“So the Dark River of the Land of Matthaios was formed from the blood of the Giant King—no wonder it has the ability to create life… Considering such authority and characteristics, it bears a striking resemblance to the Flesh Faction…”
He couldn’t help but think of the marvels he had seen deep within the Sea of Blood in Immortal Realm, symbolizing the Flesh Pathway…
The withered skeleton of the Giant, and the Rose Flower parasitizing at its neck.
“Could it be… that Lady Rose was born from the remains of the Giant King?”
Chen Lun speculated boldly.
A moment later.
“It has been an honor to converse with you, Your Majesty… and I also thank you for resolving my doubts.”
Seeing that their discussion had come to a close, Chen Lun stood up and bowed.
He took out the wooden box he had brought in and presented it with both hands.
“I heard you have a sweet tooth, so Lady Orianna asked me to offer some ‘Plum Berries’; I hope you like them.”
Queen Caplan shook her head slightly upon seeing this.
“There’s no need for formalities. I have also gained the information I wished to know from you… Leave the box, and thank you for your thoughtfulness.”
Chen Lun gently placed the wooden box on the table and after a moment’s thought, took out some milk candy from the Blood Poem Ring.
These were small snacks purchased by Connie, which he usually grabbed a handful of before heading out to occasionally indulge in a “milk craving,” never expecting them to be of great use now.
“What is this?”
Queen Caplan appeared curious.
She examined the shiny, ball-shaped candy with her pale fingers and inquired, looking at it closely.
Thanks to the thriving commerce of the Royal City, candy companies were intensely competitive—taking great effort in packaging. The various colors of foil paper wrapping the candy caught Queen Caplan’s attention.
“Well… this is a kind of snack from the surface, and it’s also sweet in taste.”
Chen Lun gave a simple explanation.
“A snack?”
The Queen’s eyebrows rose.
“A snack is any food that’s outside of regular meals, Your Majesty… There are many kinds of snacks, and this candy is one of them, especially beloved by women.”
Chen Lun patiently explained further.
After hearing the explanation, the Queen nodded as if she kind of understood, then gently unwrapped the candy and put the milk candy in her mouth to taste it, a pleased smile gradually gracing her lips.
“Since it is a food enjoyed outside of main meals, and so splendid in appearance, it must be quite costly… I like this precious gift you have brought me very much, Jack.”
Queen Caplan nodded and cast an approving gaze at Chen Lun.
[Caplan’s affection towards you has increased! It is now Friendly!]
Chen Lun immediately received a notification from his panel.
He couldn’t help but feel both amused and bemused that the Queen of Matthaios had been won over with a few candies… Compared with a certain Saint in the Mage Tower, gaining affection seemed almost too easy.
