With a good mood, Maud arrived at the dining hall. The old butler already skillfully received bowls of food that weren't much in quantity, but were sufficiently exquisite, and placed them on the dining table. Looking at the dazzling array of food, Mo De let out a satisfied sigh, "There are many humans, but one of the biggest ones is definitely eating. Otherwise, why would I be drooling when I see these exquisite dishes?"
"Because you have a few good chefs, Sir." The old butler smiled and put his hands behind his back. He stood behind Mo De and waited for orders at any time.
Maud put a mouthful of fresh salad into her mouth with a silver spoon, then started on a piece of toast with butter. The door to the dining hall opened and a young man ran in like the wind. Mo De frowned and said, "Joey, I told you. As a gentleman, you have to pay attention to your image at all times. "
The young man named Joey was Mo De's youngest son and his favorite son. Otherwise, how could he enter the restaurant without knocking on the door like this? If it was anyone else, they would have been reprimanded at the very least.
"So it's me, father. My stomach is already rumbling with hunger." The young man patted his stomach and smiled as he pulled out a chair and sat down.
"You already have your own family. Don't you know that breakfast should be eaten at your own house?" Mo De threw a piece of roasted ham covered in honey into his mouth with a fork and said as he chewed.
Joey took a big sip of the morning juice and said, "I have something important to talk to you about, father."
"What's the matter that requires you to see me at breakfast?" Mo De asked curiously.
Joey took out an exquisite box from her pocket and waved to the old butler. The latter walked over and handed the box to Mo De. The baron opened it. Inside was a piece of cotton cloth. The cotton cloth was woven with red and black threads into different colors. This pattern was very ordinary and there was nothing extraordinary about it. Mo De looked at Joey doubtfully. He believed that his son would not be so stupid as to appear in his mansion at this moment in the morning with an ordinary piece of fabric.
So he looked carefully. A moment later, he was surprised to discover that the needle holes in this cotton cloth were exceptionally thin, and the sizes of each grid were almost the same. Its style was very ordinary, but its quality was top-notch. The key was that the patterns were neat and orderly, and there was a strange sense of beauty to them.
"Where was this made?" Maud asked.
Joey stuffed a piece of toast into her mouth and mumbled, "Sur City."
"Impossible. How could that old fellow York's city have such production technology? If it was hand-spun, the cost would be very high." Mo De frowned, wondering if Sur City was going to develop towards worsted. But that would not work. When it came to worsted textiles, the upper nobles of the empire only recognized the fabrics produced by a few established families. No matter how well Sur City did, this remote border city would never be able to enter the upper echelons of the empire. In that case, there would be no profits to speak of.
Joey swallowed the bread with great difficulty and said, "This is a new type of textile, my father. It's not handmade. That's right, it's a machine. A machine that operates with iron components and gears. "
"To be exact, this is a product of the Crosses loom."
"Textile machine?" Mo De put down his fork and said, "What exactly is going on?"
"There is only one person who can answer this question for you. If you allow me, I want him to come in. "
Mo De smiled, "Looks like you've made enough preparations. Call him in."
Joey called out to the outside of the restaurant, "Mr. Latis, you can come in now."
The door opened and a man quickly walked in and bowed deeply to Mo De. "It's an honor to meet you, brave and wise Sir Mo De."
Maud enjoyed the man's praise. Although he could hear it almost every day, he would not get tired of it. He nodded and smiled, "Then, Mr. Latis from Sur City, can you tell me about the Crosses loom?"
The man who raised his head was the merchant Latis, who had wanted to teach Allen a lesson that day, but had met with a nose full of dust. He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, we have to start with a stranger named Allen …"
While Latis was talking about Allen in Storm City, he, who was far away in Sur City, opened his eyes.
This was a brand new day. After more than half a year of continuous tempering, last night, the overflowing Origin Energy finally constructed another brand new circuit in Allen's body, marking that his Origin Energy had advanced to Level 16. This advancement had unlocked a new ability for Allen, the Blazing Earth Charge. This was a trap-type ability that could leave a fire seed in a designated location and activate it when needed. Most importantly, this ability could be delayed. In other words, in theory, Allen could set up an area as a minefield and detonate it when his opponent stepped into it.
Within a limited space, the superposition of energy would produce tremendous destructive power. Of course, due to the upper limit of this ability's delay, Allen could only bury three flames within a diameter of 20 meters at a time. In this way, the destructive power was limited, but if used well, it would be enough to make the opponent drink a pot.
However, Allen was not necessarily happy about advancing and unlocking new abilities. Ever since his last advancement, he could clearly feel the existence of the second layer of imprisonment barrier. Especially when the Evil Eye evolved last time, the existence of the barrier was even more obvious. This time, when Origin Energy jumped to Level 16, the existence of the barrier became even clearer. From the looks of it, the higher the level, the more obvious the Origin Energy Confinement Barrier would be, and when he wanted to advance to Awakened, it would be completely effective.
Hughton had said that the first barrier was the most important. At that time, he had used the power of nine vortexes of Origin Energy to forcefully break through. At that time, his Origin Energy was low, and he was still heavily injured. If he were to advance to the Awakened Realm according to the law, with the strength of Level 20 Origin Energy, he would probably explode his heart.
However, if he didn't try to break through the barrier, he would forever stop at this level. At that time, even if there were still people willing to follow him, Allen's achievements would stagnate. To him, there was nothing more painful than this.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing could not be rushed. At the very least, with Allen's knowledge, there was no way to break through the barrier. He sighed softly and could only discuss it with Horn or Hughton if he had the chance to return to Earth in the future.
Originally, the most suitable candidate should have been Windsor Bellow, but thinking of his teacher's style, Allen could almost guess that her answer would definitely be to break through by force.
However, not everyone is Windsor Bellow, so her answer is not necessary.
Looking at the rising morning light outside the window, Allen patted his face and told himself to cheer up. He temporarily put this unsolvable problem behind him. Right now, there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. The most urgent thing was to go to Purple Roland Harbor. Sean was almost ready to trade cloth. Of course, this trip was to throw bricks to attract jade. There was no need to bring all the products with him, only the best quality ones were picked up.
As someone who had been to Purple Roland Harbor before, Sean would act as a guide for this trip. As for the guards, Allen was in charge. Apart from Allen, Adele, Regis, and William joined the team. Lucy did not go with them because she had to stay behind to crack the Box of Deception. The four of them, plus the King Of Mountains Army that had just finished their first training, could be said to have sufficient armed forces.
Allen left the Blazing Battle Soldiers behind. Sur City had lost a lot of gunners in the last battle with Baku. Although a portion of the recruits had been recruited, they were still undergoing training. With the Blazing Battle Soldiers supplementing the lack of firepower, coupled with Bloy and the others, Sur City's defenses were passable. This power was naturally to guard against Storm City. Their neighbor was far from friendly.
The time had been set for the day after tomorrow, and Allen was still full of anticipation for this trip. Once the trade route between Sur City and Purple Roland Harbor was opened, it would undoubtedly be a qualitative improvement to Sur City's economy. Therefore, this time, all the merchants, including Sean, were very attentive, and there was a hint of unity in their hearts.
It was still early, so Allen put on his clothes and came to the outskirts of the city. A section of the defensive wall that Baku had knocked over last time had been rebuilt. And under Edward's orders, the defensive wall had recently been raised. One could see that scaffolding had been erected on the eastern section of the defensive wall. The heightened defensive wall would reach six meters, almost doubling its height. This was an upgrade of the defensive facilities. If the economy allowed, there would be a second and third upgrade.
The city was like the rising sun, beginning to shine with new vitality.
Allen was about to turn to the barracks of the city guards when his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he looked towards the suburbs. In the suburbs outside the city, the morning mist was gradually receding. A shadow vaguely appeared in the hazy mist. Suddenly, Allen saw a large snake emerge from the mist. It was a dangerous species he had never seen before. The snake's body was covered with black and white scales, and there was a shield-like protrusion on its head with a golden horn protruding from it. The edge of the shield bone of the big head was irregularly serrated, looking like a crown.
The strange snake continued to swim towards Sur City. Allen frowned. He didn't bring Qianjun with him. However, with the Devil's Praise in hand, he wasn't afraid of any dangerous species. However, why did a strange snake suddenly appear in the suburbs? After coming to Sur City for so long, Allen had never heard of such a dangerous species nearby.
The strange snake stopped and hissed at Allen, as if it recognized Allen. Allen had a strange feeling in his heart. He saw the strange snake tilting its head and looking at him. Its expression was very similar to Bai's. He cried out, "Bai, is that you?"
The strange snake blinked its eyes, and its black and white eyes reflected Allen's appearance. Allen could not see any hostility in the pair of snake eyes, so he was sure of his guess.
Bai had evolved!
