December 1967, Ertinoli Reince, King of Jixia
How is the situation in the institute?Are those guys panicked?If they are not panic, there will be problems with the plan.
Everyone was scared. Although they didn't say it clearly, they could still see that they were all worried that the institute would not know what would happen in a month?
Satisfied with Ailing's narrative, Lancelow nodded and said: This is the best.Those guys have always been above their heads, and it's time to teach them some lessons.If they don’t let them suffer a little, they will always be self-righteous and will not take others seriously.
To celebrate the success of the plan, the two made an appointment to have a dinner in the middle of the night.
Since the last time they robbed a vote from Bai Dezhao's mansion, their economic situation has improved greatly and they should be able to eat some expensive dishes. However, after the discussion, they still decided to go to the small noodle stall at the entrance of the alley, squat on the street, and eat hot noodles.
However, Mr. Dalang is smarter than I thought!It is your credit for your success in the plan.Ailing frowned and said: But, that pseudo-king... Prince Lancelot, isn't Mr. Dalang his guard?If he gets hurt because of this, wouldn't that be bad?
Two days ago, he took the cannon and his arm was numb. Lancelo was indeed angry about this, but naturally he couldn't say it explicitly at this time, and he just said vaguely: Don't worry about this!That person is used to being arrogant and arrogant. Even I, a guard, can't stand it. It's a rare opportunity to let him learn a lesson. Don't you hate him?Now it's just right to vent your anger!
Listening to this explanation, Ailing nodded and took a sip of hot soup from a large bowl.
Her way of eating is not particularly implicit, but compared with the rude efficiency of Lancelo's big mouth and quick-shou around her, she always feels that she eats very slowly.
According to the plan, the Institute of the Ancient Magic Taoism is under pressure from both sides and must find out the traitor as soon as possible or design a weapon that can compete as soon as possible.
Ailing has never had a chance to perform in the institute, and no one knows her talent and strength at all. The institute's investigation never thought of this aspect. In other words, it should be impossible to find a traitor.
When the situation is in a stalemate, just find an opportunity to make Ailing stand out and solve this problem with her strength, she can establish her performance and image in the research institute and become a leader, so that the plan will be accomplished.
The plan itself is still called perfect, but there are still some problems with the implementation of the details, because neither Lancelo nor Ailing is the kind of careful person who is good at planning and making plans. In fact, just to be able to get to the present, Lancelo already feels that God is blessed.
If you discuss with your wife, it should be safer with her wisdom, but somehow, Lancelo was very impulsive this time and wanted to try everything on his own...
Mr. Dalang.
Um?
Why do people have to do this?Looking down at the noodle bowl, Ailing said: I just want to do research in the research institute. I don’t want to be the leader, nor do I want to be above anyone. Why do I have to be like this now?
Lancelo was speechless for a while and thought for a long time before he slowly replied.
This question is hard to answer Ah!Girl, because being a human is such a trouble.It’s like everyone wants peace, but in the end, peace is not something that the weak can have.Lancelow said: When you are in an environment that you don’t give you fairness from the beginning, no matter how kind you give and tolerate, others will only laugh at you.Unless you can show your strength and shock and admire them, respect will appear between each other.
But, it's so tiring!Why can't we get along with each other?Isn't that more comfortable?
Because of life itself, we don’t give us too many choices from the beginning. For example, your background and my personality can only continue according to the law of the strong.
Slap on Ailing's shoulder, Lancelo smiled and said: But at least, we still have a chance to choose one of two.Since others do not accept our peaceful coexistence, then we will dominate the world and go and ride on the heads of these guys!
Infected with this heroic spirit and domineering intention, Ailing nodded blankly. However, Lancelo, who had endured her trust in sight, was still confused in his heart...
The two people who made the plan were having a secret talk, but at the same time, another secret talk also happened in Jixia City.
Since the strong man with the power of heaven claimed that he would be bloody on the research institute in one month, how could the senior management of the research institute not prepare and let the crazy man do whatever he wants?
In addition to preparing all the weapons, they also need more direct force.
Although the researchers have practiced the Bai family magic skills, most of them have no combat experience. Although their cultivation is not weak, they may not be useful in fighting. For this reason, several leaders of the institute have worked a lot of hard work. Finally, they contacted the heads of the family who had been hiding for many days to discuss the plan.
Looking at Bai Wuji, who was naked, lying on a leather chair, and there was a maid pouring wine to serve him next to him, several old men reported on the current preparations and countermeasures of the institute.
Headed by Bai Junze, the cousin of the head of the family, the three of them were all elders of the senior generation of the head of the family. They knew the true strength of the Bai family on Xixi Kejia Island, and hoped that the head of the family could express their opinions and protect the interests of the Bai family.
We have been enduring before, but this Lancelo was really too much this time and bullied us directly.If it weren't for the tolerance of our Bai family, could he be so arrogant in Reince?If he hadn't taught him some lessons at this time and let him understand who is the real master of Reins, I'm afraid he will never take our Bai family seriously again!
It's Ah!The head of the family, this farce has been long enough.The commotion of the boy Tianxing is over here.Since the third lady passed away, Reins no longer needs a queen. You might as well formally come forward and formally place Reins under the rule of my Bai family, and end the wait for the aristocratic family for three hundred years!
As soon as you say, I say, everyone put forward their own opinions, hoping that the head of the family will make up their minds.
During the whole process, Bai Wuji let these elders speak, flirting with the beautiful maid next to him, and seemed to be unknown to the reports.
The obvious disrespect is obvious, and everyone is naturally deeply humiliated and angry, but it is not reflected on it, and it is still a respectful expression of his own opinions.
They are too clear about the fact: no matter how absurd or absurd, the head of the Bai family has never been a mediocre person. If someone doubts this fact and disdains the head of the family who looks like a waste, his life is as dangerous as a candle in the wind.
It is precisely because they understand this that they have lived forever and have become one of the few remaining elders of the previous generation of the Bai family.
After talking for a long time, when he finally heard enough advice, Bai Wuji took action.He sat up from the recliner, carried an overheated towel to apply to his face, and then he clapped warmly.
Ho...good idea Ah!After all, my sister is dead, why bother letting that brother-in-law take advantage of it?Now kill him, then mobilize all the strength of the Bai family to sweep Reins, and finally inherit the will of Venus ancestors, so that the Bai family can dominate the world in one fell swoop. In this way, I will be the most amazing head of the Bai family in the history of the Bai family!
While speaking, Bai Wuji laughed loudly, his voice seemed extremely happy. Infected by this happy atmosphere, the three elders of the Bai family laughed, but the more they smiled, the more they felt guilty, because the crazy laugh like this, which almost made the tears burst out, was completely incompatible with Bai Wuji's usual image.
To celebrate this amazing idea, let’s have a good drink!
Amid the laughter, Bai Wuji picked up the wine bottle on the table, turned it back, and unceremoniously sprinkled the cold wine on the heads of the three elders.
Although the taste of the wine is fragrant, I believe no one can taste it well in this situation.
The cold wine liquid was in extreme contrast with the boiling anger in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that they still had a little bit of reason and tried their best to restrain themselves, they would have the urge to take action and use the Yuan-Powering Power to kill this ungrateful junior.
But at this moment, a colder sound than the wine frozen their anger again.
What a bunch of old and useless ugly things, they speak in a mess and do things in a mess. Maybe I shouldn’t have advised my elder brother to keep you alive. When did the Bai family dare to question the decision to be the head of the family?
Bai Wuji sat down in front of the three of them, and his expression on his face was not as solid as cold frost, but as if he had nothing.
Even so, the oppressive momentum he exuded at this moment was a hundred times stronger than every moment before.
The long-lost feeling of fear reminded them of the absolute majesty of the previous owner of the Bai family. The three of them were silent and were further psychologically overwhelmed.
We kept saying for the Bai family, but what did you do for the Bai family?In the past century, the institute has neither made major technological breakthroughs nor cultivated craftsmen.Is the money I earned hard just to raise a group of waste who look at people with his nose and is out of touch with reality?
That...that's because...
All three of them wanted to defend themselves. Compared with the headquarters set up on Xixi Kejia Island, the Jixia branch lacked sufficient resources and technology, so it was natural that they would fall behind. This should not be their fault!
Hey!Do you want to use the headquarters of Devil Island as an excuse?But if you really have the ability, why not let the achievements of the branch surpass the main department?You seem to have forgotten that the Bai family hates incompetent comrades, which is better than the powerful enemy Ah!
Everyone has never known the depth of Bai Wuji's martial arts, but no one has ever seen him show or practice martial arts, and he should not feel that he is too high.
In terms of strength, it should not be difficult for the three of them to join forces to kill him, but in this series of words, a cold and sensation of oppression slowly overwhelmed them, and they couldn't even say a word.
Since you know that my cheap brother-in-law can be rampant in Reins because of my indulgence, why do you guys ask more?I don't object to him that he wants to slaughter the Institute, because you things that have almost become blood stasis should be cleaned.If you want to survive, you can repel the enemy with your own strength in a month!
Bai Wuji said coldly: As for one thing, I'm very curious.When you encounter such a thing, you don’t try to deal with my cheap brother-in-law first, but come to me to cry. Could it be... Do you think I’m scary without him?
The powerful words were simply unable to answer.
Compared to the arrogant attitude they came, they almost left in a staggering and running away, and Bai Wuji, who showed his attitude, looked at the backs of the three elders and muttered to himself.
In addition to the ninth uncle, who also knows how to advance and retreat, there are really no elders left in the Bai family who are worthy of expectations.Brother, maybe you are right, it is always troublesome to let the damn person stay!
At the same time, it was rejected by the two camps of Bai Tianxing and Lanslow, and the head of the family put on such a cold attitude. The Ancient Magic Research Institute can be said to have completely abandoned the power.
For a long time, no matter what happens outside, the institute has always maintained a detached attitude and does not interfere in mundane affairs. Perhaps because of this, the researchers have developed a superior mentality, but now, a strong storm has finally blown into the institute, sweeping everything crazy.
After the three elders informed all senior officials of the head of the family's answer, the last trump card that they could rely on was also lost, which felt like they were directly sentenced to death.
Although the middle and lower classes of researchers did not know these inside stories, they suddenly felt more pessimistic about the future when they saw the elders who were full of confidence and unfathomable.
The development of all weapons is stepping up, hoping to come in handy.
There are three goals for the effort: find out the traitor, create weapons that can destroy the orbital light cannon, and... weapons that can kill Prince Lancero.
The three goals did not make any progress for a while.
The researchers are not the talents of detectives, and the scope of investigation is limited to the researchers.
It would be fine if the equipment was just leaking out, but since the party in the daytime can master the technology that is better than the research institute, who would have thought that the culprit was just a garbage girl doing odd jobs in the research institute?
In particular, when the continuous investigation did not result, the elders had long pointed the suspect's origin directly at the headquarters of the Demon Island, and therefore gave up on the continuous investigation.
In the process of destroying the Daytime Weapon, everyone knew that the orbital light cannon is now located in a vast altitude that is difficult to see with the naked eye and difficult to reach by humans.
Even if you use the strongest Chaos Fire Crossbow to destroy it, you must have the technology to send the Chaos Fire Crossbow there, but...
How can you say there is something?That is the technology of long-range ballistic Ah!If you can do this, you can directly use the Chaos Fire Crossbow to attack Bailu Cave or Daxue Mountain!
Every researcher knows the difficulty of this matter, and the more in-depth the review, the more they are surprised at the high-quality skills of the think tank behind Bai Tianxing!
There is no need for huge buildings dozens of feet high, nor do we need to fall off thrusters in sections. A simple launching platform can accurately deliver a track light cannon to the target site.
It is also a Chaos Fire Crossbow, but the other party has mastered the technology of automatically cleaning up radioactive energy with microorganisms. It is no longer just the design and assembly of the objects, but the wide range of aspects involved is simply horrifying.
If the other party is an organization or group, it is very likely that the other party has far surpassed the Bai family in digging ancient ruins, so he can surpass this all-round way; if the other party is just one person, it is undoubtedly more like an almighty god than a genius.
Now, the common question in the minds of researchers is: how many centuries the other party’s technology is ahead of the research institute?
Anxiety and confusion directly lead to errors in judgment. I have always believed that I am standing at the top of the ancient magic path and being the best human being. This elite confidence suddenly shattered, and it is not so easy to calm down. The researchers are now like walking into a bottomless maze, and they can't find a way out.
Fortunately, since that day's siege, although Bai Tianxing continued to attack, at least no war of heaven broke out.
Invite Hante's military expenses required to use the part-time guard as the last weapon. On the other hand, due to the random shooting of the orbital light cannon, Hante, which caused him to recover from his injuries and demanded medical expenses. He also took the opportunity to raise the price for each attack.
Without the cooperation of the celestial masters, Bai Tianxing had to use the army to cooperate with the orbital light cannon to attack.
However, every quarter of an hour used, the orbital light cannon will be out of control and fire, which will consume the energy stored for the whole day.
While it was out of control, the Jixia defenders, with strong barrier protection and sufficient defensive facilities, were able to minimize the damage; but the entire army was exposed to the attack range of light cannons, and it was a big fuss.
In the end, in order to avoid distrust the soldiers in the head coach, Bai Tianxing had no choice but to temporarily suspend the attack.
He is undoubtedly a master with powerful weapons and a celestial rank, but how to use these two things in conjunction with the greatest effect on the battlefield fully tests his talents.
In Jixia City, residents teased themselves all day long that they had lived in Jixia City for so many years and had seen a lot of ups and downs, but they were never as wonderful as this month, and were struck by lightning every day.
The light cannon that hits down from a high place in the void seems to have the power of thunder and lightning. If it weren't for the proper publicity of Jixia Academy and letting the people know that this was a weapon used by the Tianxing, someone would have mistakenly thought it was a heavenly punishment sent by the gods, causing unnecessary panic.
The battle situation continued to be stalemate, and Lancelow also took the opportunity to put pressure on the institute. The atmosphere on both sides was tense. As the January period approached, Lancelow seemed extremely hot. Although more than 90% of this anger was acting, the destructive power that showed its appearance was extraordinary. Others could not guess his inner thoughts, so they naturally shocked him deeply.
With a one-month deadline, you won’t think I’m joking!I can't give me an answer at that time, so I'll just razed your bad research institute to the ground!
With this sentence, Lancelo cut the gate of the institute into two sections.
This action almost completely broke the relationship between Lancelow and the researcher, but no one dared to doubt his determination to retaliate against the institute.
In such an atmosphere, Lancelo welcomed his first New Year after coming to Reins in Jixia City.
The atmosphere is not bad. Although the external situation is unstable, the people can still have a safe and happy New Year. This is a considerable factor, thanks to the sufficient materials in Jixia City and the grass tried its best to prevent the people from feeling the impact of the war.
However, due to the chaos in Reins' political situation, the Ivory White Tower has not been able to host many sacrificial rituals like in previous years. The New Year activities this year were inevitably cancelled, and the Ivory White Tower was even more deserted than ever before.
New Year and new atmosphere, worth a drink of Ah!
Lancelo sat on the steps of the Ivory White Tower Palace, watching the crowds coming and going, lights lit by every household, and holding a pot to drink by himself with a smile.
In the current situation where the Ivory White Tower is short of funds and manpower, of course it is impossible to hold any grand celebration. Youxue once proposed whether to find some jugglers to hold a small celebration banquet?
This proposal was rejected by Lancelo.
Because I clearly have no money, I don’t need to spend such extra money. I have to hold a luxurious banquet and have the opportunity to gain after taking Reins’ power.
Xiaocao understood her husband's intentions, so she followed the flow of good deeds and asked all the servants and guards to go home on New Year's Eve. As a result, the ivory white tower turned into a cold and empty palace.
Well... it feels so strange, it seems to be back when I first came to Reins...
Lancelo said slowly with a wine pot.
I still remember that when I first entered Jixia City, due to my poor image, all the servants in the ivory white tower scattered. Even though I had the title of prince, I didn’t even have half a waiter, which was the biggest joke of the ambitious.
The feeling is similar now, however, at that time, Ni'er and Gengoro were still by their side, and in comparison, they felt much lonely at this moment.
During the Spring Festival, I would lie alone on the steps of the palace gate and drink. Watching passers-by come and go, I must be the number one person in the history of King Reince. The feeling was not only lonely, but also a strong sense of downturn.
This feeling is... very cold.
But this kind of cooling is not a bad thing, because it can pull yourself out of the daily things that are so busy that you are so busy that you can clear your head.
Think clearly what kind of thing you are?
Think about what I did these days?
What should I do?
Senior brother Wang Wu likes to float to the sky in the middle of the night, sleeping in the sea of clouds and the moonlight. I wonder if it is to feel this coldness?
Thinking of these thoughts, Lancelo smiled slightly, then sipped his throat.
At this time, the person who should have appeared has also appeared.
Stepping on completely silent steps, the grass appeared gracefully, carrying a bamboo basket filled with food, and sitting next to her husband.
After Youxue took the money, she ran out to drink. Now there are only two of us left in the Ivory White Tower!Still dressed up in her usual suit, Xiaocao came here to celebrate the New Year with her husband after she finished her work.
Although he has not officially become a king, it is definitely unprecedented to become a king like Lancelot who has become a king sitting at the palace gate and drinking wine on New Year's Eve; and the couple who should have the crown of supreme as kings and former queens will sit on the steps together like begging. If recorded in history, this is not only unimaginable, but it is simply... Reince's national humiliation!
In fact, because the two of them looked too shabby on the steps, some passers-by couldn't figure out the situation and accidentally threw one or two copper coins when they passed by.
However, the couple did not feel embarrassed about their situation, but instead started a picnic on the street with great satisfaction.
Do you like this pot of plum wine?This is a treasure in the underground wine cellar!
Ah... Then please pour me a cup!Actually, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome. My tongue is not so sensitive and I can’t tell the difference between good and bad!
The weather was extremely cool, and snowflakes were falling in the sky, without any resistance. White snowflakes slowly covered the two of them. Lancelo and his wife teased and poured the plum wine into the glass, each of them half of them.
The cup is for you, I can drink it like this...
Holding her husband's thick palm, her index fingers were given a plum wine, and the grass sipped Lanslo's fingertips, licking off the wine on her head. Her intimate actions were filled with warmth that made her heart feel relaxed in each other's eyes.
Hey!Can ghosts get drunk too?
Well... as long as I want to get drunk...
With a rather skillful answer, Xiaocao diverted her gaze, and Lanslo followed her gaze and glanced at the corner of the street.
It was a small stall selling pastry. The owner of the shop who looked very honest was putting freshly prepared snacks into the steamer; the boss lady who looked very kind was busy wrapping the hot pastry in oil paper and handing it over to the customers.
Both of them are quite old.
The gray hair and eyebrows were then plated with another layer of snow-white because of the flour; the work was not easy, and due to the fatigue and the heat of the steamer, the two of them had sweat beads on their foreheads, but their smiling faces were always hanging, showing their joy at the moment. Moreover, although the two were busy with work, they occasionally looked at each other in their spare time and always showed a warm smile.
Staring at the old man and the old woman, Xiaocao smiled slightly. It was a very happy smile. In Lancelo's eyes, he could understand what his wife was thinking, and then reached out and held his wife's hand.
Hello!Don't be too envious of others!We can do this one day too!
I don’t envy it!Isn’t this what we are now?Relying leaning in her husband's arms, Xiaocao smiled and said: I, Ah, I am already very satisfied to be with you like this and do these messy things!
When talking about a messy and stupid thing, Xiaocao's tone was different. Lancelo's heart moved and looked at his wife. When he came into contact with the smiley eyes, he knew that his wife had already known that he had planned something recently.
Why do you laugh like this?What did you know?
Although I'm not sure what you want to do now, I can feel that you are doing some of your own plans.Xiaocao said: You are really not good enough. We are a couple. If you don’t tell me any plans, I will be very worried... Well, you really hide a woman outside and want to marry her to be the second concubine, right?Very excessive!Your wife Yuan Pei is still in her bones!
Lancelotton felt it was difficult to answer this.In fact, every time he talks with his wife, he always gets at a disadvantage and doesn't know how to stand firm.
Actually, I'm planning to...
You don't have to explain Ah to me in particular!I believe in your choice and want to support your decision.Xiaocao smiled and said: What's more, we are indeed facing a bottleneck now. If you have a way to break through it, it would be great!
Xiaocao tells the truth.
Since the outbreak of the Reins Civil War, both sides have been in a deadlock, whether it is Lancelo or the Daylight.
By strength, both sides have an overwhelming trump card. Bai Tianxing has an army of 500,000, while Lancelo relies on his own celestial masters.
Looking purely from the situation of battle, the 500,000 army and the group of masters of heaven are quite powerful capital, but when the two factors are isolated and hostile to each other, they lack the decisive winning factor.
During the day, the side of the world was always suffering from the lack of heavenly masters to support the formation. Even if Lanslow successfully defeated Jixia, if Lanslow insisted on not abdicating, then victory would not be meaningful.
To put it to the extreme, if Lancelo is forced to make him give up his promise to the elders of the palace and use the power of the heavenly throne to start a massacre, although he may not be able to fight the 500,000 troops alone, at least it will be impossible to kill Bai Tian.
Lancelow was limited to the dilemma of having no resources except the power of heaven.
If there is no way to establish his own retainer group, even if he kills Bai Tianxing and drives away the enemy, he will still be able to sit in the empty ivory tower, and there will be another opposition leader who will unite the Reiners to rebel, which will be useless.
To break this deadlock, first, let Bai Tianxing control more masters of heaven, and after conquering Jixia, he will completely overwhelm Lancelo with his strength; second, Lancelo's side has established a self-power and can organize the takeover of his power after defeating Bai Tianxing.
Xiaocao has some plans for this situation, but it is rare for her husband to take the initiative to do things, but he might as well delay the work at hand and see what amazing plans he has!
Always being so hot, it’s not a good idea!
But, I'm very happy!Because at least you never thought about transferring me away...
The meaning of the little grass finger is naturally that Lancelo deliberately transferred Ni'er away before this battle.
If Ni'er was still there, two masters of heaven were in charge of Jixia, even if Han Te cooperated with the orbital light cannon attack, he would not be able to cause such a great threat; furthermore, if Ni'er had not taken away the students and nobles with higher martial arts skills in Jixia Academy, there might be an uncontrollable upheaval now.
In addition to these, Lancelo seemed to have some other plans. Xiaocao planned to wait and see what her husband had.
I asked you to stay because my wife is responsible for worrying about her husband.Lancelow said: As for my sister's problem, let other men worry about it!By the way, how long will Nier's team be in contact with Goro and the others?
Well... there are about ten days left!
Well... Is that dead man from the research institute here to ask for money again?
In order to cope with Lancelo's pressure, the Swift Magic Research Institute has adopted a slippery excuse in the past two days: to create weapons that can match orbital light cannons, it is not a technical problem, but it only requires extremely large funds. If Prince Lancelo can pay the 60,000 gold coins he promised as soon as possible, I believe that the counter weapon can be made as scheduled.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just an excuse to procrastinate, but if Lancelo can't pay the money, the responsibility lies with him.
It's Ah, how do I answer them this time?
Tell them that I will hand over the money to them in eleven days, so don’t be dependent on the debt at that time!
Seeing her husband's confident smile, Xiaocao knew that he must have done something amazing, but in addition to the researchers, did he also include himself?
How is the situation in the institute?Are those guys panicked?If they are not panic, there will be problems with the plan.
Everyone was scared. Although they didn't say it clearly, they could still see that they were all worried that the institute would not know what would happen in a month?
Satisfied with Ailing's narrative, Lancelow nodded and said: This is the best.Those guys have always been above their heads, and it's time to teach them some lessons.If they don’t let them suffer a little, they will always be self-righteous and will not take others seriously.
To celebrate the success of the plan, the two made an appointment to have a dinner in the middle of the night.
Since the last time they robbed a vote from Bai Dezhao's mansion, their economic situation has improved greatly and they should be able to eat some expensive dishes. However, after the discussion, they still decided to go to the small noodle stall at the entrance of the alley, squat on the street, and eat hot noodles.
However, Mr. Dalang is smarter than I thought!It is your credit for your success in the plan.Ailing frowned and said: But, that pseudo-king... Prince Lancelot, isn't Mr. Dalang his guard?If he gets hurt because of this, wouldn't that be bad?
Two days ago, he took the cannon and his arm was numb. Lancelo was indeed angry about this, but naturally he couldn't say it explicitly at this time, and he just said vaguely: Don't worry about this!That person is used to being arrogant and arrogant. Even I, a guard, can't stand it. It's a rare opportunity to let him learn a lesson. Don't you hate him?Now it's just right to vent your anger!
Listening to this explanation, Ailing nodded and took a sip of hot soup from a large bowl.
Her way of eating is not particularly implicit, but compared with the rude efficiency of Lancelo's big mouth and quick-shou around her, she always feels that she eats very slowly.
According to the plan, the Institute of the Ancient Magic Taoism is under pressure from both sides and must find out the traitor as soon as possible or design a weapon that can compete as soon as possible.
Ailing has never had a chance to perform in the institute, and no one knows her talent and strength at all. The institute's investigation never thought of this aspect. In other words, it should be impossible to find a traitor.
When the situation is in a stalemate, just find an opportunity to make Ailing stand out and solve this problem with her strength, she can establish her performance and image in the research institute and become a leader, so that the plan will be accomplished.
The plan itself is still called perfect, but there are still some problems with the implementation of the details, because neither Lancelo nor Ailing is the kind of careful person who is good at planning and making plans. In fact, just to be able to get to the present, Lancelo already feels that God is blessed.
If you discuss with your wife, it should be safer with her wisdom, but somehow, Lancelo was very impulsive this time and wanted to try everything on his own...
Mr. Dalang.
Um?
Why do people have to do this?Looking down at the noodle bowl, Ailing said: I just want to do research in the research institute. I don’t want to be the leader, nor do I want to be above anyone. Why do I have to be like this now?
Lancelo was speechless for a while and thought for a long time before he slowly replied.
This question is hard to answer Ah!Girl, because being a human is such a trouble.It’s like everyone wants peace, but in the end, peace is not something that the weak can have.Lancelow said: When you are in an environment that you don’t give you fairness from the beginning, no matter how kind you give and tolerate, others will only laugh at you.Unless you can show your strength and shock and admire them, respect will appear between each other.
But, it's so tiring!Why can't we get along with each other?Isn't that more comfortable?
Because of life itself, we don’t give us too many choices from the beginning. For example, your background and my personality can only continue according to the law of the strong.
Slap on Ailing's shoulder, Lancelo smiled and said: But at least, we still have a chance to choose one of two.Since others do not accept our peaceful coexistence, then we will dominate the world and go and ride on the heads of these guys!
Infected with this heroic spirit and domineering intention, Ailing nodded blankly. However, Lancelo, who had endured her trust in sight, was still confused in his heart...
The two people who made the plan were having a secret talk, but at the same time, another secret talk also happened in Jixia City.
Since the strong man with the power of heaven claimed that he would be bloody on the research institute in one month, how could the senior management of the research institute not prepare and let the crazy man do whatever he wants?
In addition to preparing all the weapons, they also need more direct force.
Although the researchers have practiced the Bai family magic skills, most of them have no combat experience. Although their cultivation is not weak, they may not be useful in fighting. For this reason, several leaders of the institute have worked a lot of hard work. Finally, they contacted the heads of the family who had been hiding for many days to discuss the plan.
Looking at Bai Wuji, who was naked, lying on a leather chair, and there was a maid pouring wine to serve him next to him, several old men reported on the current preparations and countermeasures of the institute.
Headed by Bai Junze, the cousin of the head of the family, the three of them were all elders of the senior generation of the head of the family. They knew the true strength of the Bai family on Xixi Kejia Island, and hoped that the head of the family could express their opinions and protect the interests of the Bai family.
We have been enduring before, but this Lancelo was really too much this time and bullied us directly.If it weren't for the tolerance of our Bai family, could he be so arrogant in Reince?If he hadn't taught him some lessons at this time and let him understand who is the real master of Reins, I'm afraid he will never take our Bai family seriously again!
It's Ah!The head of the family, this farce has been long enough.The commotion of the boy Tianxing is over here.Since the third lady passed away, Reins no longer needs a queen. You might as well formally come forward and formally place Reins under the rule of my Bai family, and end the wait for the aristocratic family for three hundred years!
As soon as you say, I say, everyone put forward their own opinions, hoping that the head of the family will make up their minds.
During the whole process, Bai Wuji let these elders speak, flirting with the beautiful maid next to him, and seemed to be unknown to the reports.
The obvious disrespect is obvious, and everyone is naturally deeply humiliated and angry, but it is not reflected on it, and it is still a respectful expression of his own opinions.
They are too clear about the fact: no matter how absurd or absurd, the head of the Bai family has never been a mediocre person. If someone doubts this fact and disdains the head of the family who looks like a waste, his life is as dangerous as a candle in the wind.
It is precisely because they understand this that they have lived forever and have become one of the few remaining elders of the previous generation of the Bai family.
After talking for a long time, when he finally heard enough advice, Bai Wuji took action.He sat up from the recliner, carried an overheated towel to apply to his face, and then he clapped warmly.
Ho...good idea Ah!After all, my sister is dead, why bother letting that brother-in-law take advantage of it?Now kill him, then mobilize all the strength of the Bai family to sweep Reins, and finally inherit the will of Venus ancestors, so that the Bai family can dominate the world in one fell swoop. In this way, I will be the most amazing head of the Bai family in the history of the Bai family!
While speaking, Bai Wuji laughed loudly, his voice seemed extremely happy. Infected by this happy atmosphere, the three elders of the Bai family laughed, but the more they smiled, the more they felt guilty, because the crazy laugh like this, which almost made the tears burst out, was completely incompatible with Bai Wuji's usual image.
To celebrate this amazing idea, let’s have a good drink!
Amid the laughter, Bai Wuji picked up the wine bottle on the table, turned it back, and unceremoniously sprinkled the cold wine on the heads of the three elders.
Although the taste of the wine is fragrant, I believe no one can taste it well in this situation.
The cold wine liquid was in extreme contrast with the boiling anger in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that they still had a little bit of reason and tried their best to restrain themselves, they would have the urge to take action and use the Yuan-Powering Power to kill this ungrateful junior.
But at this moment, a colder sound than the wine frozen their anger again.
What a bunch of old and useless ugly things, they speak in a mess and do things in a mess. Maybe I shouldn’t have advised my elder brother to keep you alive. When did the Bai family dare to question the decision to be the head of the family?
Bai Wuji sat down in front of the three of them, and his expression on his face was not as solid as cold frost, but as if he had nothing.
Even so, the oppressive momentum he exuded at this moment was a hundred times stronger than every moment before.
The long-lost feeling of fear reminded them of the absolute majesty of the previous owner of the Bai family. The three of them were silent and were further psychologically overwhelmed.
We kept saying for the Bai family, but what did you do for the Bai family?In the past century, the institute has neither made major technological breakthroughs nor cultivated craftsmen.Is the money I earned hard just to raise a group of waste who look at people with his nose and is out of touch with reality?
That...that's because...
All three of them wanted to defend themselves. Compared with the headquarters set up on Xixi Kejia Island, the Jixia branch lacked sufficient resources and technology, so it was natural that they would fall behind. This should not be their fault!
Hey!Do you want to use the headquarters of Devil Island as an excuse?But if you really have the ability, why not let the achievements of the branch surpass the main department?You seem to have forgotten that the Bai family hates incompetent comrades, which is better than the powerful enemy Ah!
Everyone has never known the depth of Bai Wuji's martial arts, but no one has ever seen him show or practice martial arts, and he should not feel that he is too high.
In terms of strength, it should not be difficult for the three of them to join forces to kill him, but in this series of words, a cold and sensation of oppression slowly overwhelmed them, and they couldn't even say a word.
Since you know that my cheap brother-in-law can be rampant in Reins because of my indulgence, why do you guys ask more?I don't object to him that he wants to slaughter the Institute, because you things that have almost become blood stasis should be cleaned.If you want to survive, you can repel the enemy with your own strength in a month!
Bai Wuji said coldly: As for one thing, I'm very curious.When you encounter such a thing, you don’t try to deal with my cheap brother-in-law first, but come to me to cry. Could it be... Do you think I’m scary without him?
The powerful words were simply unable to answer.
Compared to the arrogant attitude they came, they almost left in a staggering and running away, and Bai Wuji, who showed his attitude, looked at the backs of the three elders and muttered to himself.
In addition to the ninth uncle, who also knows how to advance and retreat, there are really no elders left in the Bai family who are worthy of expectations.Brother, maybe you are right, it is always troublesome to let the damn person stay!
At the same time, it was rejected by the two camps of Bai Tianxing and Lanslow, and the head of the family put on such a cold attitude. The Ancient Magic Research Institute can be said to have completely abandoned the power.
For a long time, no matter what happens outside, the institute has always maintained a detached attitude and does not interfere in mundane affairs. Perhaps because of this, the researchers have developed a superior mentality, but now, a strong storm has finally blown into the institute, sweeping everything crazy.
After the three elders informed all senior officials of the head of the family's answer, the last trump card that they could rely on was also lost, which felt like they were directly sentenced to death.
Although the middle and lower classes of researchers did not know these inside stories, they suddenly felt more pessimistic about the future when they saw the elders who were full of confidence and unfathomable.
The development of all weapons is stepping up, hoping to come in handy.
There are three goals for the effort: find out the traitor, create weapons that can destroy the orbital light cannon, and... weapons that can kill Prince Lancero.
The three goals did not make any progress for a while.
The researchers are not the talents of detectives, and the scope of investigation is limited to the researchers.
It would be fine if the equipment was just leaking out, but since the party in the daytime can master the technology that is better than the research institute, who would have thought that the culprit was just a garbage girl doing odd jobs in the research institute?
In particular, when the continuous investigation did not result, the elders had long pointed the suspect's origin directly at the headquarters of the Demon Island, and therefore gave up on the continuous investigation.
In the process of destroying the Daytime Weapon, everyone knew that the orbital light cannon is now located in a vast altitude that is difficult to see with the naked eye and difficult to reach by humans.
Even if you use the strongest Chaos Fire Crossbow to destroy it, you must have the technology to send the Chaos Fire Crossbow there, but...
How can you say there is something?That is the technology of long-range ballistic Ah!If you can do this, you can directly use the Chaos Fire Crossbow to attack Bailu Cave or Daxue Mountain!
Every researcher knows the difficulty of this matter, and the more in-depth the review, the more they are surprised at the high-quality skills of the think tank behind Bai Tianxing!
There is no need for huge buildings dozens of feet high, nor do we need to fall off thrusters in sections. A simple launching platform can accurately deliver a track light cannon to the target site.
It is also a Chaos Fire Crossbow, but the other party has mastered the technology of automatically cleaning up radioactive energy with microorganisms. It is no longer just the design and assembly of the objects, but the wide range of aspects involved is simply horrifying.
If the other party is an organization or group, it is very likely that the other party has far surpassed the Bai family in digging ancient ruins, so he can surpass this all-round way; if the other party is just one person, it is undoubtedly more like an almighty god than a genius.
Now, the common question in the minds of researchers is: how many centuries the other party’s technology is ahead of the research institute?
Anxiety and confusion directly lead to errors in judgment. I have always believed that I am standing at the top of the ancient magic path and being the best human being. This elite confidence suddenly shattered, and it is not so easy to calm down. The researchers are now like walking into a bottomless maze, and they can't find a way out.
Fortunately, since that day's siege, although Bai Tianxing continued to attack, at least no war of heaven broke out.
Invite Hante's military expenses required to use the part-time guard as the last weapon. On the other hand, due to the random shooting of the orbital light cannon, Hante, which caused him to recover from his injuries and demanded medical expenses. He also took the opportunity to raise the price for each attack.
Without the cooperation of the celestial masters, Bai Tianxing had to use the army to cooperate with the orbital light cannon to attack.
However, every quarter of an hour used, the orbital light cannon will be out of control and fire, which will consume the energy stored for the whole day.
While it was out of control, the Jixia defenders, with strong barrier protection and sufficient defensive facilities, were able to minimize the damage; but the entire army was exposed to the attack range of light cannons, and it was a big fuss.
In the end, in order to avoid distrust the soldiers in the head coach, Bai Tianxing had no choice but to temporarily suspend the attack.
He is undoubtedly a master with powerful weapons and a celestial rank, but how to use these two things in conjunction with the greatest effect on the battlefield fully tests his talents.
In Jixia City, residents teased themselves all day long that they had lived in Jixia City for so many years and had seen a lot of ups and downs, but they were never as wonderful as this month, and were struck by lightning every day.
The light cannon that hits down from a high place in the void seems to have the power of thunder and lightning. If it weren't for the proper publicity of Jixia Academy and letting the people know that this was a weapon used by the Tianxing, someone would have mistakenly thought it was a heavenly punishment sent by the gods, causing unnecessary panic.
The battle situation continued to be stalemate, and Lancelow also took the opportunity to put pressure on the institute. The atmosphere on both sides was tense. As the January period approached, Lancelow seemed extremely hot. Although more than 90% of this anger was acting, the destructive power that showed its appearance was extraordinary. Others could not guess his inner thoughts, so they naturally shocked him deeply.
With a one-month deadline, you won’t think I’m joking!I can't give me an answer at that time, so I'll just razed your bad research institute to the ground!
With this sentence, Lancelo cut the gate of the institute into two sections.
This action almost completely broke the relationship between Lancelow and the researcher, but no one dared to doubt his determination to retaliate against the institute.
In such an atmosphere, Lancelo welcomed his first New Year after coming to Reins in Jixia City.
The atmosphere is not bad. Although the external situation is unstable, the people can still have a safe and happy New Year. This is a considerable factor, thanks to the sufficient materials in Jixia City and the grass tried its best to prevent the people from feeling the impact of the war.
However, due to the chaos in Reins' political situation, the Ivory White Tower has not been able to host many sacrificial rituals like in previous years. The New Year activities this year were inevitably cancelled, and the Ivory White Tower was even more deserted than ever before.
New Year and new atmosphere, worth a drink of Ah!
Lancelo sat on the steps of the Ivory White Tower Palace, watching the crowds coming and going, lights lit by every household, and holding a pot to drink by himself with a smile.
In the current situation where the Ivory White Tower is short of funds and manpower, of course it is impossible to hold any grand celebration. Youxue once proposed whether to find some jugglers to hold a small celebration banquet?
This proposal was rejected by Lancelo.
Because I clearly have no money, I don’t need to spend such extra money. I have to hold a luxurious banquet and have the opportunity to gain after taking Reins’ power.
Xiaocao understood her husband's intentions, so she followed the flow of good deeds and asked all the servants and guards to go home on New Year's Eve. As a result, the ivory white tower turned into a cold and empty palace.
Well... it feels so strange, it seems to be back when I first came to Reins...
Lancelo said slowly with a wine pot.
I still remember that when I first entered Jixia City, due to my poor image, all the servants in the ivory white tower scattered. Even though I had the title of prince, I didn’t even have half a waiter, which was the biggest joke of the ambitious.
The feeling is similar now, however, at that time, Ni'er and Gengoro were still by their side, and in comparison, they felt much lonely at this moment.
During the Spring Festival, I would lie alone on the steps of the palace gate and drink. Watching passers-by come and go, I must be the number one person in the history of King Reince. The feeling was not only lonely, but also a strong sense of downturn.
This feeling is... very cold.
But this kind of cooling is not a bad thing, because it can pull yourself out of the daily things that are so busy that you are so busy that you can clear your head.
Think clearly what kind of thing you are?
Think about what I did these days?
What should I do?
Senior brother Wang Wu likes to float to the sky in the middle of the night, sleeping in the sea of clouds and the moonlight. I wonder if it is to feel this coldness?
Thinking of these thoughts, Lancelo smiled slightly, then sipped his throat.
At this time, the person who should have appeared has also appeared.
Stepping on completely silent steps, the grass appeared gracefully, carrying a bamboo basket filled with food, and sitting next to her husband.
After Youxue took the money, she ran out to drink. Now there are only two of us left in the Ivory White Tower!Still dressed up in her usual suit, Xiaocao came here to celebrate the New Year with her husband after she finished her work.
Although he has not officially become a king, it is definitely unprecedented to become a king like Lancelot who has become a king sitting at the palace gate and drinking wine on New Year's Eve; and the couple who should have the crown of supreme as kings and former queens will sit on the steps together like begging. If recorded in history, this is not only unimaginable, but it is simply... Reince's national humiliation!
In fact, because the two of them looked too shabby on the steps, some passers-by couldn't figure out the situation and accidentally threw one or two copper coins when they passed by.
However, the couple did not feel embarrassed about their situation, but instead started a picnic on the street with great satisfaction.
Do you like this pot of plum wine?This is a treasure in the underground wine cellar!
Ah... Then please pour me a cup!Actually, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome. My tongue is not so sensitive and I can’t tell the difference between good and bad!
The weather was extremely cool, and snowflakes were falling in the sky, without any resistance. White snowflakes slowly covered the two of them. Lancelo and his wife teased and poured the plum wine into the glass, each of them half of them.
The cup is for you, I can drink it like this...
Holding her husband's thick palm, her index fingers were given a plum wine, and the grass sipped Lanslo's fingertips, licking off the wine on her head. Her intimate actions were filled with warmth that made her heart feel relaxed in each other's eyes.
Hey!Can ghosts get drunk too?
Well... as long as I want to get drunk...
With a rather skillful answer, Xiaocao diverted her gaze, and Lanslo followed her gaze and glanced at the corner of the street.
It was a small stall selling pastry. The owner of the shop who looked very honest was putting freshly prepared snacks into the steamer; the boss lady who looked very kind was busy wrapping the hot pastry in oil paper and handing it over to the customers.
Both of them are quite old.
The gray hair and eyebrows were then plated with another layer of snow-white because of the flour; the work was not easy, and due to the fatigue and the heat of the steamer, the two of them had sweat beads on their foreheads, but their smiling faces were always hanging, showing their joy at the moment. Moreover, although the two were busy with work, they occasionally looked at each other in their spare time and always showed a warm smile.
Staring at the old man and the old woman, Xiaocao smiled slightly. It was a very happy smile. In Lancelo's eyes, he could understand what his wife was thinking, and then reached out and held his wife's hand.
Hello!Don't be too envious of others!We can do this one day too!
I don’t envy it!Isn’t this what we are now?Relying leaning in her husband's arms, Xiaocao smiled and said: I, Ah, I am already very satisfied to be with you like this and do these messy things!
When talking about a messy and stupid thing, Xiaocao's tone was different. Lancelo's heart moved and looked at his wife. When he came into contact with the smiley eyes, he knew that his wife had already known that he had planned something recently.
Why do you laugh like this?What did you know?
Although I'm not sure what you want to do now, I can feel that you are doing some of your own plans.Xiaocao said: You are really not good enough. We are a couple. If you don’t tell me any plans, I will be very worried... Well, you really hide a woman outside and want to marry her to be the second concubine, right?Very excessive!Your wife Yuan Pei is still in her bones!
Lancelotton felt it was difficult to answer this.In fact, every time he talks with his wife, he always gets at a disadvantage and doesn't know how to stand firm.
Actually, I'm planning to...
You don't have to explain Ah to me in particular!I believe in your choice and want to support your decision.Xiaocao smiled and said: What's more, we are indeed facing a bottleneck now. If you have a way to break through it, it would be great!
Xiaocao tells the truth.
Since the outbreak of the Reins Civil War, both sides have been in a deadlock, whether it is Lancelo or the Daylight.
By strength, both sides have an overwhelming trump card. Bai Tianxing has an army of 500,000, while Lancelo relies on his own celestial masters.
Looking purely from the situation of battle, the 500,000 army and the group of masters of heaven are quite powerful capital, but when the two factors are isolated and hostile to each other, they lack the decisive winning factor.
During the day, the side of the world was always suffering from the lack of heavenly masters to support the formation. Even if Lanslow successfully defeated Jixia, if Lanslow insisted on not abdicating, then victory would not be meaningful.
To put it to the extreme, if Lancelo is forced to make him give up his promise to the elders of the palace and use the power of the heavenly throne to start a massacre, although he may not be able to fight the 500,000 troops alone, at least it will be impossible to kill Bai Tian.
Lancelow was limited to the dilemma of having no resources except the power of heaven.
If there is no way to establish his own retainer group, even if he kills Bai Tianxing and drives away the enemy, he will still be able to sit in the empty ivory tower, and there will be another opposition leader who will unite the Reiners to rebel, which will be useless.
To break this deadlock, first, let Bai Tianxing control more masters of heaven, and after conquering Jixia, he will completely overwhelm Lancelo with his strength; second, Lancelo's side has established a self-power and can organize the takeover of his power after defeating Bai Tianxing.
Xiaocao has some plans for this situation, but it is rare for her husband to take the initiative to do things, but he might as well delay the work at hand and see what amazing plans he has!
Always being so hot, it’s not a good idea!
But, I'm very happy!Because at least you never thought about transferring me away...
The meaning of the little grass finger is naturally that Lancelo deliberately transferred Ni'er away before this battle.
If Ni'er was still there, two masters of heaven were in charge of Jixia, even if Han Te cooperated with the orbital light cannon attack, he would not be able to cause such a great threat; furthermore, if Ni'er had not taken away the students and nobles with higher martial arts skills in Jixia Academy, there might be an uncontrollable upheaval now.
In addition to these, Lancelo seemed to have some other plans. Xiaocao planned to wait and see what her husband had.
I asked you to stay because my wife is responsible for worrying about her husband.Lancelow said: As for my sister's problem, let other men worry about it!By the way, how long will Nier's team be in contact with Goro and the others?
Well... there are about ten days left!
Well... Is that dead man from the research institute here to ask for money again?
In order to cope with Lancelo's pressure, the Swift Magic Research Institute has adopted a slippery excuse in the past two days: to create weapons that can match orbital light cannons, it is not a technical problem, but it only requires extremely large funds. If Prince Lancelo can pay the 60,000 gold coins he promised as soon as possible, I believe that the counter weapon can be made as scheduled.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just an excuse to procrastinate, but if Lancelo can't pay the money, the responsibility lies with him.
It's Ah, how do I answer them this time?
Tell them that I will hand over the money to them in eleven days, so don’t be dependent on the debt at that time!
Seeing her husband's confident smile, Xiaocao knew that he must have done something amazing, but in addition to the researchers, did he also include himself?
