Chen Ran lay there motionless.

The black magic shackles had long disappeared, but he was still lying there, staring at the sky in a daze.

"The liars are all liars. They clearly said they loved each other, but they left so simply. Have you ever asked me how I feel..."

The originally bright sunshine seemed so dazzling in Chen Ran's eyes, as if he was mocking his incompetence. When he watched the girls he had liked left him one by one, he felt powerless. Despite the slight improvement this time, at least Elena did not leave so silently.

Chen Ran finally stood up and breathed a sigh of weakness, his eyes full of loneliness.

"God, tell me why is this?"

Chen Ran admitted that he was indeed very weak. Although he finally experienced many things that men dreamed of, sometimes, the emptiness of his heart often made other things even more terrifying. From Leah to Elena, they all compensated him in disguise in their own way, but is it really what they wanted?

In fact, what is lost is far more profound than what is gained.

"Okay, you all go. I admit that I am a fool," Chen Ran's mouth shook his head and said, "I thought that fate was in my own control, and I was the protagonist of this world. Until now, I was sad to find that I was just an inconspicuous dust in the world, passing by the wind and drifting with the flow. It turned out that I was always playing with fate. I was just to tell me that I should not give easily?"

Chen Ran finally stood up and patted his face to make himself clear, and forced himself not to think too much and messy things.

Even so, he still had to continue his journey and continue his journey, just like at the beginning, without any concern or nostalgia.

But why is the scenery along the way so bleak?

...

Two days later, Chen Ran returned to Hongye Town alone.

Many people came forward to ask about Chen Ran’s news. After learning that the Black Knight had been shot dead, the whole town couldn’t help but cheer.

Someone also asked Miss Elena why she didn't come back with Chen Ran and how the Black Knight was killed. Chen Ran calmly replied that he contacted a team of sect knights through secret techniques and killed the Black Knight. Elena was a little injured and needed to take her to the Holy City for recuperation. He came here first to explain the end of the Black Knight incident so that everyone could rest assured.

This loophole explanation barely convinced the people in the town. In fact, everyone is concerned about more than the influence of the Black Knight. For a group of self-sufficient people, other people's concerns are not so concerning.

Chen Ran returned to the mayor's house. It can be said that this place was his private property. As the mayor's heir, Elena has all the inheritance rights of the house, and as Elena's lover, he also has all the control rights here.

Naturally, he would not live here, so he told the nanny here to manage the affairs of the town mayor's house on his behalf. For this reason, he specially assigned the former captain of the guard, the future mayor's successor, to help manage the family in Hongye Town. Perhaps he and Elena would not come back for a long time. This matter was guaranteed by the captain's chest. In front of the captain, Chen Ran was already almost an idol-like existence.

Because of the lies he told, he even received many blessings from the town. For Chen Ran, a young and promiscuous priest, Miss Elena's future is happy, and the captain of the guard repeatedly guaranteed that there would be no chaos in the matter here.

It is mentioned here that the magic tricks Chen Ran taught to the witch before have been applied to reality, and he has really controlled a thin man with a thin appearance.

Now, the witch no longer looks like a skeleton. After absorbing the essence she learned, she gradually replenished her energy and returned to her normal appearance. She turned into a dignified woman, and she wiped out her original strange temper. As for her "husband", Chen Ran learned that this was a butcher in the village, and he also had some impression of the butcher. He clearly had a glutinous meat, but how could he look so thin now?

After thinking about it carefully, he understood that he had also absorbed the essence and lost weight in disguise. In this way, a man and a woman became quite a match, which was also an unexpected celebration.

After the matter here was finished, Chen Ran climbed onto the horse and started the next journey.

...

On the way to the new journey, Chen Ran regained his original mood, sat quietly on the horse's back, held a map, and carefully studied the composition of the world.

This continent, called Casilla, is divided into three huge forces and one chaotic force.

The country he lives in is called the Turin Empire. The flag is a griffin pattern with a red background, just like in the south of the mainland, with fertile land. To the north of the mainland is the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which continues to be a tough nature in the north. This force is the strongest on the mainland, with a black background golden war lion. In the east of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Turin Empire, there is the sea country of Icardan, which has a large number of archipelagos. This is a democratic parliamentarian state with outstanding naval strength and a flying silver eagle with blue background.

Looking at the terrain, Chen Ran thought it was quite interesting, just like the Three Kingdoms Triumph that he had seen before. The Icardan and the Turin Empire restricted such a super overlord as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and there must be some minor frictions.

As for the last chaotic force, it is in a wilderness in the West, with a dangerous terrain and countless small countries. It is estimated that when it comes to conquering hegemony, the few countries that are easiest to solve on the map are not solved. No one will be interested in the slightly barren and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

With just a glance, Chen Ran judged the current situation of the world. Of course, these were not what he was concerned about. As for the next city he was going to during this trip, it should be considered a medium-sized city in the third tier, or at least the first city Chen Ran was going to. Perhaps there were a lot of things to do.

In his plan, this city may be the first step he wants to start. For an unarmed pastor, the best way is to gather one's forces, give full play to its advantages and gradually grow bigger and attract enough talents.

At least, when he was a priest, he could only do this. He was not a noble mage or a powerful warrior. Before his strength reached level 100, he was just a priest, a priest without attacking skills, and that's all. Therefore, he needed people, power, information, and a lot of things to make him reach the height he wanted faster. These inevitably require a lot of effort.

As for how much he can do in the future, he doesn't know, but he must do his best, although fate is so good at teasing people.
