mechanical court

"Of course it's serious, but it's a wonderful misunderstanding."

"No! Wait!"

There was a look of struggle on his face, but in the end the temptation of money prevailed, and he said solemnly:

"I think if you work hard, maybe you can do it!"

"Really?"

She showed a playful expression.

"Of course!"

"That's what you said, I didn't force you."

Elulomei raised her face, the sunlight pierced through the swaying tree branches outside the window, and swayed on her beautiful face that could cleanse people's hearts, she smiled sweetly:

"There is a reward for completing the task. If you can't complete it, you have to pay for it yourself to fill in this hole for me, you know!?"

"..."

Ivan suddenly felt that the air was dry and cold, the sun was indifferent, and his whole body seemed like dust floating in the air.

What is misfortune from mouth?This is misfortune comes from mouth!

What is being blinded by money?This is being blinded by money!

Chapter 43 Child Care

Ekhtaton, the back mountain of Wangting.

As dusk approaches, the sunset glow covers the sky like a ribbon. Amidst the lonely chirping of birds, the rolling hills seem to be coated with a layer of gold leaf, stretching under the dazzling sunlight.The deserted and clear hills are quiet, and there is no one there. Most of the trees inside are withered, and the green leaves have not been drawn out in midsummer.There are only a few dilapidated pillars around, and a circle of gravel roads, with a few stone benches scattered on both sides.

"Huh...huh..."

Ivan, who was sweating profusely, leaned against a boulder with his fists in his waist, his whole body humming, and the silver winding patterns gradually glowed along his spine, filling his whole body with his heavier and heavier breathing.

The Void Engine continuously absorbs the power of darkness, injects it into the body along the neural network, as if there is a roar of spring thunder inside the muscles and bones, stretching activities, the muscle structure is also adjusted accordingly, the skin is metalized, the powerful force begins to rush, the heart is pulsating, calm Powerful, like a high-speed engine.Countless black lightnings emerged from the neural network and converged into a more efficient energy system. They used the vital organs inside the body as nodes and the metal pit wires as channels to operate at ultra-high speed.

"..."

Ivan's entire eyes became dark and cold, the thick fog of the same color on his body surface was churning like sea waves, and sparks of gloomy aura emerged in the air.He stretched out his left hand and drew his five fingers inward. The misty dark energy on his body instantly condensed into a vortex and radiated towards the surroundings.

With a muffled bang, the deep black energy suddenly exploded, and the surrounding air was sealed like amber.The gravel all over the sky floated around in slow motion. The gravels were of different sizes and heights, and each grain was filled with fine electric sparks, making him feel like he was in the Milky Way.

"The biggest difference between the power of darkness and the power of light is that it has a strong adsorption capacity, not only matter, but also energy absorption and annihilation."

Ivan stared at the Milky Way talking to himself, and at the moment when the void engine was on the verge of its limit, he pushed his backhand violently, and a storm of air flow mixed with a dark aura immediately blasted out.

boom--!

The galaxy shattered, and the storm roared past like a huge wave.

"..."

He stood panting beside a huge crack, white hot steam was constantly emitting from the two halves of the crack, as if split by a swift thunder. The crack was wide and deep, but the shattering marks were only tens of centimeters.

"...maybe it's not just energy..."

Yiwen faintly noticed that besides energy, he also absorbed some inexplicable things.

He wiped off his sweat with his hands, jumped a few times, ran to the edge of the hill, looked down at the courtyard below, and immediately had a panoramic view of the elegantly laid out palace.The condescending vision brings a sense of grandeur, which has the effect of stabilizing the mind, and the depression of being forced to the beam by Ai Luluomei these days has also slightly eased.

"This hateful woman! Count me again and again! Don't let me find a chance!"

Thinking of the bad behavior the other party had repeatedly tormented him, Yiwen suddenly became angry, and temporarily had no way to retaliate, so he had to use the method of spiritual victory to chat.

Although he is relying on his brain to make up for it now, if there is a chance in the future, he doesn't mind using collars, whips and candles to severely punish the opponent.Before that... still have to complete the tasks she ordered.

After receiving the blessing of the Eucharist, Ivan's energy soared to an inexhaustible level, and sleep had become a meaningless thing.Therefore, he was able to train the master of ceremonies, and at the same time ordered Renee to publish and distribute small advertisements, while planning the auction site of the Hades Temple, and at the same time, he still had time to study the holy scriptures of the Hades.

Through these few days of research, Ivan faintly noticed some kind of change in himself, perhaps because it was too subtle and did not have any external manifestations, but this feeling was real.

Whenever he turns on the Void Engine and absorbs dark energy, he can feel a trace of invisible and intangible things melt into his body.

It's subtle and weird.

He once asked Xia Li, and the other party made it clear that he had never had this kind of experience, so he could only attribute this change to a special phenomenon unique to practicing the underworld.

Because he didn't have any experience, Ivan didn't know whether this change was good or bad, so he could only take one step at a time. Anyway, with the protection of the Holy Eucharist, he was not afraid of going crazy.

Temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart, he turned his eyes and focused on the palace outside the royal court:

"Now, she should be fooling the group of great nobles... In short, I am on your side in this matter."

……

At this time, a small court reception was being held in the reception hall of the royal court.Several important nobles held wine glasses politely and talked softly.Behind them, the wide floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the evening scenery of the palace like a scroll.In the corner of the dance floor, several musicians are playing music.They looked focused, their slender fingers danced lightly on the strings, and the cheerful notes echoed in the room like flowing water.

"Have you all heard...Her Majesty is going to sell her jewels."

The person who spoke was a plump lady with a high bun. She looked 36 or [-] years old. She had a mature and seductive appearance, and a pair of royal blue eyes were radiant.

"After all, we have just suffered a defeat, and we have to pay a huge amount of compensation. It is not easy for our queen."

"It's not just compensation. Almost all the major battlefields in the country have been razed to the ground. The supplies that need to be invested are countless. I don't know how long it will take to recover and turn losses into profits. This time, Her Majesty the Queen may want to empty all her jewelry. collect."

"The lady's beauty is enough to be worthy of this batch of jewels."

Impressing the aristocrats with her jeweled necklace, bird-feather skirt, and protruding figure, it was not uncommon for men to strike up a conversation and flirt with her.

"Speaking of which, have you ever received those notes?"

"You mean... those magical notes that decipher the palace treasures?"

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that there are these rare treasures in the Sun King's treasury. It's really exciting. But... who is publishing these notes? Why do they do this kind of thing? If you don't know , I always feel a little uneasy."

"What does this have to do with us? Regardless of whether it's true or not, when the charity auction is held, we can just go and see if it's right. The auction is not a donation event. Will someone force us to buy it!"

"That's the truth."

When the nobles were discussing, they didn't notice at all that among the group of well-behaved colleagues around them, there was actually a "caretaker" arranged by Elleme in advance, the purpose was to dispel their doubts and reassure these local tyrants Boldly buy, buy, buy.

Chapter 44 The Upper Class

The banquet entertained by the nobles in the court was extremely sumptuous. The ingredients were delicacies from the royal ranch, and the drinks were also the most expensive tribute. Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, noble men and women exchanged glances.This is the so-called "society", where the big men get acquainted with each other and build the corrupt upper class of Menes.

The men with hair removal and shaving are well-dressed, elegant in manner and conversation, elegant and humorous in deliberately controlled voices, and try to use allusions in every sentence to show their erudition and humor.Ladies, without exception, dress gracefully and luxuriously, wearing round shawl-style gold necklaces, and noble and elegant wigs studded with precious stones.Wearing heavy eye makeup, black eyeshadow line extends from the eyelids to the temples, and the slits of the high skirt reveal stiletto sandals, white porcelain thighs and rattan leggings.
