Sixth day.
"Master, there is a message from the giant wall. It said that there is an urgent matter." Gwyneth returned to the subway and found Dean. She took out a letter and handed it to him.
Dean's eyebrows twitched as he took the letter and opened it. He looked calm as he read it. He burned the letter to ashes with a match: "Cut the rest of the materials and find a hidden place near the passage to build a hunting base. Sergei, you will be responsible for this matter. I don't need to elaborate on the location and the structure of the base."
"Of course." Sergei replied.
Gwyneth asked: "Master, Neuss said that there is an urgent matter. Is it anything important?" She was referring to Jin's real name.
Dean faintly smiled: "It's a good thing. Don't worry."
"Good thing?" There was a trace of suspicion in Gwyneth's eyes. She could see from Neuss's anxious expression that it was not a good thing. Was the situation so serious that Dean deliberately hid it from them? But looking at the calm appearance of the youth, it didn't seem that he was deliberately pretending. Gwyneth was full of suspicions as various thoughts flashed through her mind. But on the surface she was silent: "Master, do you need me to write back to them?"
"No." Dean said: "Both of you don't need to enter the giant wall for the time being."
Gwyneth replied: "Yes."
Sergei looked at Dean but didn't make a sound.
Whoosh!
Dean left the subway and went to the cave of splitters. He moved the boulders and entered the cave. He fed the seven little splitters and then found a flat and dry place to sit down. He leaned against the rock wall and looked at the glimmer of light that penetrated through the boulders. After a long time, his eyebrows twitched. He reached into his backpack and took out a huge cold crystal. It had a blue luster and was relatively pure.
He stared at it for a moment, and then bit his left hand to hold the cold crystal.
Soon, this cold crystal was melted by his blood. It was like a living mucus that drilled into the wound on his finger. It turned into a thin blue line that flowed along his arm and into his body. Wherever it passed, a cold air quickly spread. It was incomparably cold.
A moment later, the Cold Crystal flowed into his body, and his chest felt cold. The next moment, this cold feeling seemed to scatter, and quickly flowed to every part of his body, causing him to shiver slightly.
As the energy of the cold crystal diluted throughout his body, the cold feeling gradually subsided. Dean gradually felt an abundance of vitality bursting out from his body. His eyes seemed to be much brighter. It was as if the air had been washed by heavy rain.
"It seems that I can continue to improve my physique." Dean looked at his left hand: "But I can't continue to absorb anymore. Otherwise my left hand is likely to freeze again. The damage is too great. I should be able to adapt by absorbing one a day."
He put down his sleeves and looked at the seven little splitters on the ground. After a few days of feeding, the bodies of the little splitters had grown rapidly. Originally it would take one to two months to grow to more than ten meters. But now it only took a few days for them to grow to eight or nine meters. He believed that in a few days they would enter the growth period and the larvae of the parasitic soul worms would hatch.
"Grow, the bigger the better …"
Dean's mouth curved into a smile.
…
…
Commercial district. Tyza River. Castle.
"Mr. Neuss, did you deliver the letter?" Old Fulin looked at Neuss as he got up and asked.
Zendrall, Jake and the others looked at Neuss. Neuss knew that Old Fulin was a noble who had bailed out Dean. He didn't dare to neglect him: "Old patriarch, I have delivered the letter. I believe that it will reach the hands of the young master soon. He should come back as soon as possible if he sees the letter."
Old Fulin was relieved. Zendrall, Jake and the others were also relieved as they sat back in their chairs.
"I hope he will come back as soon as possible." Old Fulin sighed.
Neuss said: "I have sent people to wait at the exit. If there is any news, they will report back."
"That's good. Thank you for your hard work." Old Fulin nodded.
At this time, a brown-haired teenager who was standing on the other side of the castle looked at the clock on the wall. He saw that the time was almost up. He said to Old Fulin and others: "Patriarch, there will be distinguished guests coming. Do you want them to leave?"
Old Fulin looked at the teenager: "Distinguished guest?"
"Yes, our young master's distinguished guest." The teenager nodded.
Old Fulin looked at Zendrall: "You go upstairs and be quiet."
"Yes." Zendrall got up and led the way.
The rest of the people silently followed. The Ryan family had suffered a great disaster. The whole family was like a frosted eggplant. There was no trace of anger in them.
The teenager looked at the servants: "Clean up and get ready to welcome the distinguished guest."
"Yes."
After a moment, a carriage stopped in front of the castle. A woman dressed in simple and noble clothes got off the carriage. She smiled at the teenager and Neuss: "I heard that Mr Dean is free today. Why did you inform me to come over to talk about the cooperation of 'lightning rod'?"
The youth smiled: "Hello, Miss Rosie. I'm Kroen, Mr. Dean's butler. This is our knight captain 'Neuss'. Please come in and talk about the divine incantation."
Rosie politely nodded to both of them. She saw Old Fulin sitting in the hall. Her eyes slightly moved as she smiled: "I didn't expect the chairman of the New World consortium to be here. I was in a hurry so I didn't prepare a gift. Please forgive me."
"You are welcome." Old Fulin smiled. He was surprised as he didn't expect that Dean's distinguished guest would be from the Scott consortium. Moreover, Dean hadn't come back yet. How could he talk about the cooperation at this time? He couldn't help but look at Kroen. The latter had stayed in his castle and Old Fulin had carefully cultivated him. But now it seemed that it was difficult to see through him.
Kroen went back to the living room and ordered the servant to make tea for Rosie. He invited her to take a seat: "Miss Rosie, our young master is not here today. He is preparing a new invention. He has already told me about the lightning rod and I have printed the contract. Please have a look. If there is no problem, you can sign it now."
Rosie was startled. Her eyes flashed. According to the intelligence of the consortium, she naturally knew what had happened recently. She also knew where the genius architect was now. Therefore, when she came today, she was full of doubts. Now it seemed that the other party had already left a contract, which made her a little surprised. She took the contract from Kroen's hand and carefully read it.
In addition to the basic terms of the contract, there were several specific treaties. Although it was a bit difficult but she felt that it was acceptable. After all this was an extremely important civil invention.
After a moment, Rosie looked at Kroen and said: "There is no problem with the contract. I didn't expect Mr Dean to be so bold as to let you, a steward, deal with the upper grade four star item. It seems that he trusts you very much." Her voice was thought-provoking.
Kroen smiled: "Miss Rosie is too polite. Young master has always trusted us. If you think there are no problems with the contract then please sign it."
