Evelina said,
"That's right. Right now, the Aiguisi Divine Shield is more than 30% damaged. You can think of it this way. It's like a dilapidated house that has been in disrepair for a long time. The doors and windows have even been weathered away. Although the main structure is still there and can be considered sturdy, it won't be easy to restore it to its original state."
"That means the overall renovation from head to toe, dressing and taking care of it. That is a big project! Just this matter will take a lot of time, and it is still under the condition that the materials are sufficient. "
Having said that, Evelina sighed regretfully,
"Originally, the materials to repair Aiguisi are also sufficient, but they are all in the Goddess' Kingdom."
Fang Linyan added faintly,
"So I can only find those precious things in the Vatican?"
Evelina continued,
"However, this is not the point. The manic Medusa soul inside Aiguisi is the biggest trouble. After all, no matter how broken Aiguisi's appearance is, at least it will not hurt you in turn!"
"But Medusa is different. Because of its special experience and the fact that it has been out of control for a long time, it is now filled with hostility. It could become a time bomb that will explode at any time!"
"If I want to get Aiguisi back on track without affecting its power, this will be a long-term and continuous grinding work."
Fang Linyan sighed and pressed his faintly painful temple,
"Well, that's it. If Aiguisi can recover as soon as possible, then I will be very happy."
Evelina smiled and nodded,
"Okay, I will try my best to complete it."
In the next few days, Fang Linyan continued to live a "machine" life. Every day, he was accompanied by lathes, engine oil, and parts.
At the same time, he began to purify the ore (unknown mysterious object) obtained from Lord Evans to make alloys with amazing strength to strengthen various advanced machines in his laboratory.
Greece originally did not belong to one of the embargoed countries, so Fang Linyan could easily buy the top equipment on the market with the goddess' connections and financial support.
Of course, it was only the top equipment on the market. It was at least 5 years away from the top equipment in practical use.
This was because the country that owned this part of the top-grade equipment would never sell it in order to monopolize it.
However, Fang Linyan's team quickly confirmed with a dumbfounded expression that the performance of the modified equipment had risen terrifyingly. It could only be described as a miracle! Initially, it was five years behind the top technology, but now, it was thirty years ahead of the top technology …
Such a shocking discovery even caused Athena to gain five or six more fanatical believers, because such a thing could only be explained by the gods.
Under Fang Linyan's efforts, he began to try to pick up the manufacturing of mechanical cores. This was because he found that the construct creature summoned at the dark of the moon was also interested in the precise mechanical structure.
For example, Tibbers, who looked obedient and harmless before entering battle, accidentally ate an antique wall clock in the Garden of Eden.
This thing was a real antique, and one that could catch the attention of an old monster like Lord Evans and be placed in the guest room!
Its value could only be described as priceless. It was estimated that ordinary people couldn't afford it in their lifetime.
After discovering this, Fang Linyan quickly studied it and found that not only Tibbers, but even Warlow also had this habit. Fang Linyan specially bought some mechanical watches, then he dismantled the watch core.
Then these watch cores were eaten by Tibbers and Warlow happily, just like ordinary people eating snacks or children chewing candy; they ate quite happily.
So Fang Linyan had an idea. Previously, he used high-quality (blue, black, silver storyline) mechanical cores as casting materials to summon more powerful mechanical creatures. It was feasible to summon more powerful mechanical creatures.
Now, in theory, during the dark of the moon, it was actually consuming casting materials to summon more powerful metal construct creatures.
It was just that this casting material had become the energy block that all mechanical construct creatures liked, but it definitely didn't mean that they didn't like mechanical cores.
Since this was the case, then while consuming the energy block, if he added a more sophisticated mechanical core, would he be able to attract stronger and more advanced mechanical construct creatures?
There was a saying that if a worker wanted to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Now that Fang Linyan had more advanced processing machinery, he was confident to create a silver storyline level mechanical core as a sacrifice. Of course, he could try to see if his guess was valid.
***
However, just when Fang Linyan stayed in the manor for 3 days and was about to make the first silver storyline level mechanical core, he suddenly received a call.
At the moment when he picked up the phone, Fang Linyan was still a little confused,
"Hello, who is this?"
"I'm Jacob, sir."
Fang Linyan was stunned for a full 10 seconds before he remembered that the old butler who usually took care of his daily life was Jacob …
To be honest, he still respected Butler Jacob who was serious and responsible. He hurriedly said,
"Oh oh! Sorry, Mr. Butler, what can I do for you? "
Steward Jacob said.
"According to the latest news released by the Greenwich Observatory, at 3 p.m. on the 11th, there will be a total solar eclipse. The process of this total solar eclipse will be very short. Only parts of central Asia and India have the conditions to observe it."
Fang Linyan was a little confused,
"This?"
Butler Jacob heard the doubts in Fang Linyan's words, so he said straightforwardly,
"It's like this, Sir Knight. 7 months ago, you personally instructed me to pay close attention to the news of the total solar eclipse, especially the total solar eclipse that can be observed in Thailand in central Asia. Once I get the relevant news, I must inform you as soon as possible."
Hearing what the old butler said, Fang Linyan immediately patted his head and remembered! The cause and effect of what had happened suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
The mysterious man, the strange appearance of the old man, the turning point of the desperate situation … They were all hidden in the mysterious unknown.
The only clue that could solve the reason was based on that sentence:
"During the next total solar eclipse, come to the old yellow-horned tree in the Mazu Temple!"
Recently, Fang Linyan was busy with work. In addition, Fang Linyan met the goddess and ran away strangely. He also felt the pressure of the coming storm, so he almost forgot about this matter. It was hard for Jacob to remember it and remind him of it.
However, when Fang Linyan put down the phone, he immediately keenly captured a possibility,
When the coming storm was coming, the clue of the total solar eclipse suddenly appeared. Was this man-made or a coincidence?
The key was that if he didn't go, then who knew when the next total solar eclipse would be observed in Thailand? Maybe next week, maybe next year, or maybe even ten or twenty years later!
Go? Or not?
However, very quickly, Fang Linyan thought of a sentence,
"When you are hesitating, you already have the answer in your heart."
This sentence was actually the truth of the world because 90% of men had hesitated in front of the stairs leading to the 4th floor of the bathhouse. No matter how long they hesitated, they would choose the big job in the end.
What? What about the other 10%?
Of course, they walked up without hesitation.
Wasn't it just for the warm and thoughtful greeting of "Alcohol is free"?
Immediately afterward, Fang Linyan thought of another thing. If he was going to see the person behind the scenes, should he bring the old machine with him?
The Bisca data stream in this thing was his last trump card, and it had saved him several times when he was in a desperate situation.
However, this was something given to him by the mastermind. If the mastermind had any ill intentions, it could easily become a ticking time bomb. However, if he didn't bring it with him, it would be the communication tool between him and the mysterious person!
After hesitating for a while, Fang Linyan decisively chose not to bring it.
Because he suddenly thought of one thing, that was, this old machine had once given him a hint that the Bisca data stream stored in it should have been used up long ago.
However, during the joint trial, Bisca's data stream leaked from the third auction item had also recharged the old man's machine. This was a small probability event!
From the text message of the mysterious person at that time, it could be seen that he was not omnipotent. There was an obvious deviation in the predicted history.
Therefore, for the mysterious man, his prediction must be that "Spanner no longer has an old machine", and he wouldn't place his hopes on "Spanner was lucky enough to find Bisca's data stream to recharge it when he was adventuring."
In other words, if the mysterious person was kind to him, then he would definitely think that he didn't bring the old machine with him. After all, in his prediction, since the Bisca data stream in this thing was used up, then the old machine would be useless.
Fang Linyan calculated the time. There were still 8 days before the total solar eclipse, but he originally planned to leave here first. Fang Linyan predicted that his crisis must be quite big, so big that the goddess would run away directly.
Everything must be considered from the bad side. It was necessary to anticipate the enemy's advantage.
Therefore, the home advantage of staying in Greece was nothing at all. Once the real crisis came, Evelina would die in vain. What's more, Fang Linyan gave his last trump card, the black old machine, to Evelina?
Since I definitely have a place to go, why don't I leave first? So very quickly, Fang Linyan called the old butler,
"Help me get a ticket or a plane. I want to go to Thailand as soon as possible."
The old butler nodded,
"Okay, sir — I have to confirm again. Are you alone?"
Fang Linyan said,
"Yes, it's me alone. Priest Evelina will stay here to preside over all affairs. Closing the temple for a long time will damage the piety of the believers."
At this time, the temple had indeed resumed operation. When the goddess and the high priest left, they only took away the core members.
After obtaining the same authority as the High Priestess, Evelina was very clear about what she needed to do. It only took her three hours to promote a large group of people and stuff them into various positions.
As long as the most important thing was that Evelina could preside over the goddess's holy statue, then transfer the prayers of the believers to the goddess, and then let the prayers be answered or not, then everything was not a big problem.
The most typical example was Catholicism. The supreme god had fallen into dormancy for a long time. God's grace was not outstanding, but relying on the powerful priest system, the sect was still thriving.
On the contrary, if there was a problem with the priest between the god and the believers, the decline of the church was really visible to the naked eye.
According to Fang Linyan's request, as soon as he packed his luggage, a helicopter had already landed on the tarmac of the manor, and it only took 15 minutes to send him to the Athens International Airport.
Here, a Gulfstream private jet consecrated by devout believers had been parked in the tarmac. There was still a residual smell of alcohol, smoke, and some unknown aura inside the plane. This was enough to show that before the plane was urgently transferred, there were still people on it who were partying.
A stewardess stood in front of the electric boarding slide, bowed with an impeccable smile, and motioned Fang Linyan to enter the cabin, but the blush on her face showed that this sudden overtime interrupted her wonderful nightlife.
Fang Linyan dared to bet that at this time, a man was naked and cursing him fiercely in a hotel in the distance.
But these were not important. After he sat down on the leather sofa, he cast his gaze to the wind and rain outside the window. The wind and rain in Greece had begun to subside, but Fang Linyan could almost predict that the wind and rain in Thai City had just begun.
***
At the same time,
Thai City,
The streets in the middle of the night already seemed quite calm.
Only those small vendors who specialized in serving late-night customers insisted on operating, providing services to those who worked overtime, singers, and pleasure seekers.
At this time, this small stall called "Old Huang Meat Swallow" had been open for 45 years.
More than 10 years ago, the founder, Old Huang, had died in an accident. At this time, the successor, Little Huang, had also become Old Huang. Except for a few days of rest during the annual festival, it would be placed on the street corner from 8 o 'clock in the evening to 4 o' clock in the morning regardless of rain or shine.
A small stall was only open for a year, then it was an inconspicuous member among thousands of vendors.
A small stall that had been open for 10 years had already proved that it had something. It could gain a foothold in the competitive food and beverage market, and the boss could support the whole family by doing this.
A small stall that had been open for 45 years proved that the boss had done what most people couldn't do. He poured the best energy and most precious time of his life into such a thing! This represented no longer an ordinary small stall, but a part of many people's lives and youth.
Therefore, the business of Old Huang Meat Swallow had always been good.
