The next morning, Catherine sent someone to deliver the supplies discussed yesterday to the Deer Hunter Hotel.
Jian Yue Canglian counted and received the things. The most expensive among them are two small psychic shield activators. The craftsman-level ones cost 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins, and the craftsman-level and master-level ones are even more valuable. Yang Zhiyong had worn such items before, so that he could block Chen Xingchu's deliberate killing blow.
Of the two shield activators, the Master-level one is a men's belt buckle type, while the Craftsman-level one is a drop pendant type. Wear it on your body and connect it to a black watch, and it will be automatically activated in times of danger to withstand one or several attacks that do not exceed the shield strength.
The most expensive component in the shield activator is the "energy storage crystal". Its production process is the core monopoly technology of the Supreme God Religion and is very mysterious. Usually, a powerful person above the Great Guard level infuses spiritual energy, and then activates the rune circuit through electronic equipment, thus activating the shield.
Due to problems with the excitation mechanism, or to reflect the differences between different grades of products, only one can be worn by a person. Otherwise, if they are activated at the same time, it will not only be wasted, but will also offset each other and produce negative effects.
Generally speaking, the skill simulated by the shield activator is "Celestial Shield". God's Shield is an advanced skill of the psychic shield, which can be learned when the psychic shield reaches level 3. Compared with the latter, the defensive ability is more powerful.
For those who have not learned defensive skills, the shield activator is undoubtedly a life-saving artifact that can play a decisive role at critical moments.
Chen Xing took off his belt, replaced it with the belt buckle, and activated the switch hidden inside.
[The unbound device "m7033 psychic shield activator" was found. Do you want to connect it? ]
Chen Xing entered "yes", and several lines of small green characters rolled up.
[Connecting...]
[Connection successful, do you want to bind? ]
Chen Xing entered "yes" again.
[Device binding is successful, third parties will not be able to connect and use the device unless the device is unlocked in the settings options]
[The m7033 psychic shield activator has entered the activated state and can be turned off manually, or it can be turned off automatically after leaving a range of 30 centimeters from the body]
The shield activator will make a judgment based on the degree of danger and activate the shield independently. It is extremely easy to use, so it is very popular among wealthy families and wealthy merchants. Any descendant of a family that is valued will more or less be assigned one.
After fastening the belt buckle, Chen Xing picked up the pendant and looked at it for a while, then threw it to Jian Yue Canglian next to him. She fought for everything, and this pendant was her reward. Jian Yue Cang Lian returned it, for a simple reason - she didn't need it.
Chen Xing had no choice but to throw it into the storage space as a backup.
There are also two valuable items, one is a craftsman-level magic short stick knife, and the other is a craftsman-level magic two-handed sword.
The short stick knife is about 60 centimeters long. It can be used as both a knife and a stick. It is a sheathed stick that can be turned into a knife. The surface is covered with fine textures. Chen Xing holds the handle of the knife and pours a little spiritual energy into it, and the blade becomes covered with a layer of green. mango. Learning "psionic weapons" can increase its power, but you can barely use it without learning.
The two-handed sword was 1.3 meters long. Chen Xing tried it with both hands and found it to be quite smooth, but a little too heavy. After trying it on, he put it into the storage space. With mirror clones around, the more weapons, the better.
Next, there are various equipment and medicines. Chen Xing checks them one by one and puts them into the storage space. In this way, Wei Qinghai's chances of winning are even greater. Although he knew very well in his heart that Prince Silver Claw, who had been pampered since he was a child and lacked actual combat, could not be his opponent. His combat experience alone could give him a good drink, not to mention that he had a threesome to kill at the same level. device.
If he wasn't completely sure, he wouldn't agree to Catherine's proposal, even if he wanted to take this bad breath. But it’s definitely a good idea to be careful and make more preparations.
"The dance at Lord Edwin Huxlett's winery will be held at seven o'clock tomorrow night." Jian Yue Canglian glanced at Chen Xing and said expressionlessly, "Leave now before it's too late."
"Jian Yue, you seem to be looking down on your master a little." Chen Xing smiled lightly and said.
"Please forgive me..." Jian Yue Canglian looked serious, "I don't want to be buried with my master."
"Tell me why?" Chen Xing leaned back on the sofa and spread his hands.
"I believe that the master is capable of defeating Wei Qinghai. He puts too much energy into torturing women, and his strength is worse than that of an ordinary guard-level. And for the sake of the face of the Silver Claw Principality, they cannot send out masters after you issue a duel. Assassination. But after the incident, I want to know how the master is prepared to face the wrath of Marquis Haitang." She bowed and saluted, "Please forgive me, it is not more difficult for a principal of a principality to deal with a baron than to crush an ant to death."
"Well, you make sense." Chen Xing nodded, and then asked, "Where is this place?"
"Ice Blue City, the capital of the kingdom and the center of power." Jian Yue Canglian replied.
"So, who is the most powerful person here?" Chen Xing asked again.
"Old King Malan 22nd." "Who else?" "Third Princess, Cuilisi." "Which faction is Wei Haitang from?" "Old King." "Compared to the old king, Cuilisi How?" "He is ruthless and extremely powerful."
"Isn't that done?" Chen Xing asked.
Jian Yue Canglian fell into deep thought. After a long time, he bowed deeply to Chen Xing and said, "My master is very clear-sighted. I am too worried."
In Ice Blue City, Wei Haitang must walk on thin ice and keep a low profile in everything. Otherwise, if Cuillis is allowed to grab the painful foot, she will definitely take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.
Chen Xing has no plans to leave Ice Blue City in the short term. He still wants to fight for the territory of Orchid Town here. Back in the Red Dragon Principality, with Aaliya in charge, Wei Haitang did not dare to invade easily. Looking elsewhere, Lord Kuroba was worried that he could not find an excuse to attack Wei Haitang.
Maybe the Northern Alliance would raise troops in advance and destroy Silver Claw directly.
At seven o'clock in the evening the next day, the winery of Lord Edwin Huslett was brightly lit and full of people. The band played the saxophone and accordion, and the melodious music accompanied the dance floor, which was lively yet elegant.
Glasses filled with champagne were piled up in piles, bubbles slowly rising in the golden slurry, and beautiful fireworks flashed across the glass from time to time.
Chen Xing walked into the venue with Lao K and three maids. Lao K stood on the left, half a step behind, Jian Yue Canglian stood on the right, followed by Ye Qian and Li Mei. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the attendant at the door.
"Sir, please show me your invitation. Thank you."
"This is my master, the newly promoted Baron Chen Xing." Old K introduced.
"Please allow me to confirm your identity and inform the steward." The attendant saluted.
Chen Xing made a "please" gesture, and the attendant raised his black watch to scan it, and then used the intercom to notify the butler. Edwin is a generous old-school aristocrat who often holds dances and welcomes all comers. Of course, the identity of the participants must be noble.
Chen Xing was soon formally invited and led into the venue by his attendants.
The venue was held in the garden in front of the winery. Men and women in evening gowns danced beside the fountain. Their colorful long skirts were like blooming flowers, colorful and vying for beauty.
Looking up, the long arched windows are brightly lit, and the beautifully carved small balcony is filled with guests, waving to people below from time to time.
The little nobles danced in the middle of the court, while the big nobles watched from the wall. This is a tradition that has existed in the red earth world for thousands of years. Balls were the most common social occasion in aristocratic circles, where minor aristocrats made friends with each other, and big aristocrats sought out and recruited vassals.
If you observe carefully, you will find that directly in front of the fountain, there is a light layer of water mist on the best-positioned master balcony. Whenever fireworks explode in the sky, a flash of light will illuminate the figure in the fog. Graceful and graceful, dreamy and blurry, it makes people's imagination fly, and it can't stop giving birth to longing.
"It's so boring~" A lazy sigh sounded in the fog, "It's the same thing that comes and goes, isn't there something new?" There was a bit of complaint in the voice, "You asked me to come out for some air, and it turned out that I’m even more bored now.”
"You can go down and dance. I believe that the whole Ice Blue City will be crazy about your beauty and dancing." Another voice sounded, male, slightly older.
"Please, even when I was younger, I wouldn't have liked to attend this kind of dance," said the voice in the mist.
"Yes, you have loved swords, adventures, and conquering everything you see since you were a child." The old voice echoed.
"Pretending and twisting in front of men is just a way for the weak to attract the strong." The voice in the fog paused for half a second, "Do you think there is anything else in this world where the sun can shine? Is a man worth this?"
"In terms of force, my legions sweep across the world. In terms of power, my followers are as numerous as stars. I dare you to ask who in this world can compete with me!" There was unspeakable arrogance in his voice.
"My Queen, not all battlefield competitions are about swords and tactics. Maybe you are still a novice in some places."
"Where?" The voice was full of doubts.
"The battlefield of love." The old voice said.
"Hahaha, why do you even think that I have to find a man to survive?" The voice became deeper and deeper, full of danger, as if the surrounding air dropped a few degrees in an instant.
"Queen, calm down, what I said is human nature. Even the Queen of the Holy Mountain will have her true son." The old voice persuaded, "I believe that such a person exists, but he has not yet appeared in your presence. in sight."
After a moment of silence, the female voice in the fog sounded again, "Then when do you think he will appear?"
"Near future."
"Then, if this day comes..." The voice became lazy, "Please don't forget to remind me to bring a knife. I will make him understand that the difference between men and women is not that big."
"As you command, my queen."
The voices on the balcony were chatting one after another. Not far away from them, a young man in luxurious clothes was holding a wine glass and talking to the people around him.
"If I were the chairman of the parliament, I would have abolished the guard promotion system long ago. Look at who these new nobles are. They are hooligans, thugs, thieves, bandits, liars, and murderers. They do all kinds of evil. They rely on crime to collect wealth and buy evolution. Potion, as long as it can climb to the guard level, it will immediately transform and live with us."
"The country that our ancestors worked so hard to build cannot be ruined by this group of criminals!"
"Prince Silver Claw said well!" "Drive those filthy rats out of the aristocratic circle!" "Why do they become aristocrats? They have bad morals and bad behavior. They are only qualified to sweep the streets!" The aristocratic young masters were filled with indignation and expressed their opinions one after another. support.
Wei Qinghai took a sip of champagne and added, "Just a few days ago, I met a newly promoted mercenary noble..."
"Oh my god, it's a mercenary!" "It's such a dirty profession. I can seem to smell their stench." "If you ask me to marry a mercenary, I would rather die." The noble ladies talked incessantly.
"Do you know, he actually fell in love with Jian Yue Cang Lian!" Wei Qinghai made an exaggerated expression, then his face darkened and he cursed, "Don't take a piss and look in the mirror, what kind of person are you? ? Even I don’t dare to speak easily, but he, a toad, dares to hope so much. It’s really laughable.”
His language was extremely vicious, as if the other person had done something extremely wrong. He is the third prince of the Principality of Silver Claw. He has a transcendent status and is superior to all living beings. Who has not been respectful to him since he was a child?
This upstart who didn't know how to live or die actually dared to steal a woman from him. Although he kidnapped the other party's maid that night, tortured her all night, and finally cut her into pieces, he still couldn't let go of his hatred. He wants to use his power and status to crush the other party into powder and make the other party fully understand the chasm between the big nobles and the small nobles.
"Hahaha, it's so whimsical!" "The world never lacks toads who want to eat swan meat." "Should I call him brave or ignorant?"
The young masters and ladies were joking endlessly, but at this moment, a sudden voice sounded from behind.
"Are you talking about me?"
The scene fell silent instantly, and everyone turned their heads to look at the owner of the voice. I saw a young man in white clothes and trousers walking towards him, followed by the housekeeper and three maids. The butler was tall and strong, with a serious face and a calm temperament. The leading maid is the most dazzling, with a tall and straight figure and a beautiful face, which is eye-catching.
When he saw Chen Xing, Wei Qinghai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a mocking expression. But in a blink of an eye, he found Jian Yue Canglian behind Chen Xing. His pupils expanded rapidly, and the smile froze on his face, gradually replaced by shock and disbelief.
A palace maid who has not signed a contract will not appear in public, let alone follow a male noble. The answer is ready to come out, but it is difficult to accept.
For a moment, Wei Qinghai felt like something was stuck in his throat, and his entire face turned pale.
