"There's no need to waste any more time. Let the people on State Highway 35 retreat! Fifth and Sixth Legends provide cover. Be careful, don't let the people on the other side pull your pants — "
Houston City, Smith Manor, John Adams rubbed his head with a headache in the underground command room.
"The situation is very troublesome. They have completely given up on defense and are focusing on offense. If I lose a freight train, I will make them pay three times, or even ten times the price. The problem is, they can do it at any time, but we don't dare. "
He turned his chair and looked at the old men behind him. "You know, father? The tactics now adopted by the National Progressive Association looked to me like a pack of jackals attacking a rhinoceros. They know they can't win, but they still challenge it. They will only feel better when they are crushed by the rhinoceros. "
"What else? They, Rising Sun Media, are attacking us crazily. If we don't do anything, what will outsiders think of us, Adams? "
A white-haired old man said sarcastically, then smiled bitterly. "Of course, the situation is no different now. In fact, it's even more embarrassing. Speaking of which, is there really no way to deal with the sniper and the Sky Scepter? "
"The sniper is easy to deal with. As long as we are prepared, he can't shoot. The problem is the Sky Scepter, Lucky André, Lord of Void Night, and the sniper. In terms of spatial ability, it is difficult to suppress them unless it is a high-level God. We have prepared three methods, but the expected results are not ideal. "
"Our two magicians are already designing a magic array. As long as we can lure them to a specific battlefield, we can completely block the Sky Scepter and most of the void ability. But how to lure them is a problem, and it will take time to complete the design of the magic array. "
"Obviously, their goal is to take advantage of the time difference. Before we have enough effective countermeasures, we will weaken the National Progressive Association as much as possible and attack the 'beast blood potion' project. In the past two days, seven families and nearly 200 members have quit the organization. I expect that in the next few days, there will be more and more. "
At this time, the white-haired old man sitting at the head of the table was also frowning.
"Hasn't Tarosi Public Consulting replied yet? What did they say? "
"Not yet, father!"
John Adams shook his head. "My personal advice is not to place too much hope on these lobbyists. The strategy they have adopted is very clever. They have tied themselves with the National Association of Progressives and our three families. If Congress wants to investigate the Atlanta tragedy and sanction the Wildenstein Group, then they must also sanction the National Association of Progressives. This means that they only need to control a small number of Senators to resist our offensive in the Parliament. Moreover, His Excellency the President did not seem to want to see this proposal passed, and was obstructing it both openly and covertly. So, although Tarossi Public Consulting is the number one lobbying firm on Abraham K Street, I don't think they can do anything about it. "
"Did he forget who helped him up?"
The old man snorted and gripped his cane tightly. "So, he didn't take our hint to heart, did he?"
"As far as I know, His Excellency the President has made some efforts. He has contacted the Wildenstein family. But that André, he refused our olive branch. "
John Adams sighed. "I told you, father, not to treat others as idiots. He knows that this is a good opportunity. The National Association of Progressives has to sue for peace no matter what. But as long as they are ten days late, most of the members of the association will leave it. And now, the Wildenstein family only needs to pay a small price — "
"So what do you mean, John?" This was another spirited old man. "Are you planning to stop the war against the Wildenstein family?"
"Yes! At the very least, stop the use of force. "
John Adams nodded slightly. "Based on my understanding of them, as long as we stop the attack, they will not take the initiative to provoke us. After all, in terms of manpower and war potential, they are still much inferior. But if the family wants to save face, or give them a return. Then I think the day Anthony becomes a legend is the best time. It should be soon, in ten to twenty days. That will be a battlefield that they cannot escape from with their spatial abilities — "
"You seem to have an idea, John?"
The white-haired old man at the head of the table looked at John Adams thoughtfully. "Tell me, if it is feasible —"
…
In the alchemy room of the Village of Destiny Magic Tower, Li Mochen's main body and secondary body were both looking at the furnace in the center. At this time, a necklace was floating out of the furnace.
The pendant was made from the heart of the blue swamp magic vine. This item had been refined and condensed by Li Mochen to the size of two fingers. In the center of the necklace, there was a blue gem inlaid on the front, and a black keratin was on the back.
That gem was a mythical treasure called the Dikte Life Stone. Legend had it that Rhea, the second Queen of Heaven in Greece, had given birth to five children with the God King, Cronus. All of them were cruelly devoured by Cronus.
So when Zeus was born, Rhea wrapped the stone in swaddling clothes and tricked the King of Gods Cronus into swallowing him. This stone was the Dikter Life Stone. Of course, a stone that could trick a King of Gods Cronus had to be of a higher grade.
The black keratin came from a demigod Netherworld creature called the Nether Dragon. It was not a Bone Dragon or a Dragon Lich, but a dragon that lived in the Netherworld and had the appearance of a wyvern. Their horns contained the power of death. Li Mochen took one of them and found that it corresponded to the Dikter Life Stone.
The necklace was made of the Magic Gold No. 7 alloy provided by Anthony, and it was woven into the shape of an olive leaf. Li Mochen carved dense magic runes on it, but on the surface, it looked no different from an ordinary hollow golden necklace. Because the runes were almost nano-scale and contained in the whole carving, ordinary people might not be able to find them even with a magnifying glass.
What was worth mentioning was the Magic Gold No. 7 alloy. It was a mixed metal made of more than seven mythical metals in a certain ratio and smelted with special techniques. While retaining the characteristics of these mythical metals, it also eliminated their weaknesses. Therefore, the Magic Gold No. 7 alloy was not only very sturdy, but it also had a good mana conducting ability. It could also strengthen the power of a Godly Right or a Law Domain.
Thanks to this, the sacrificial process of this necklace was very smooth. Li Mochen could easily carve the huge magic rune array that he designed inside and outside the necklace without worrying about it being unable to withstand the pressure of the magic rune array and being damaged. The Heart of Wood also retained most of its abilities, and it was even greatly strengthened.
Even the loss of merit was minimal. In the end, it only cost over 15,000 strands. Li Mochen only needed a little more than a month to gather this amount of merit aura.
"It's finally done!"
When the flames under the alchemy furnace completely subsided, Li Mochen extended his magic power and brought the necklace that he had named "Buried Soul" in front of him. As he gently stroked it with his hand, a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
This mythical equipment was originally used to replace the "Yin Yang Mirror of Life and Death" as a trump card to fight against Philip the First and the others. However, when it was refined, Philip and all his followers were already dead. Only the Magician Ron Edmund was still lingering in his Divine Kingdom.
Judging from its power, it seemed to have fallen behind the moment it was refined.
Li Mochen now had the "Scarlet Dragon Armor", "Sky Scepter", "Strengthen God Ring", "Longwei", and the bracelet that Constantine was refining. Moreover, their power and effects were all above this necklace.
However, this thing was still very important to Li Mochen.
First of all, this was the first "divine weapon" that Li Mochen had refined. In the Origin Sky Realm, due to the thin Spiritual Energy, even if Li Mochen accumulated tens of thousands of merit strands, he would not be able to complete a quasi-Divinity Weapon, let alone a Divinity-level treasure. This was more or less an experience that allowed him to deepen his understanding of mageweath arrays and alchemy.
Secondly, this thing could allow Li Mochen to master a more powerful "Godly Right of Life and Death". Although he couldn't use it on Philip the First and the others, his enemy wasn't just Philip the First. After the latter's death, there was still the National Association of Progressives, the Blood Clan, and so on.
This necklace would be more useful than any mythical equipment, especially when dealing with those creatures that were on the brink of life and death.
When the two princes of the Blood Clan, Uhtred Jimmy and Claudel Van Zhuo, intervened in the war between him and Philip and the others again, Li Mochen had the idea of teaching the Blood Clan another lesson. However, because his own power of life and death had not yet reached the point where he could sweep everything away, he did not carry it out for the time being.
However, Li Mochen had also scheduled a time for his counterattack, which was the day when this "Undead Necklace" was refined. Just from the name of this item, it could be seen that Li Mochen believed that it would be the "burial" of all undead creatures.
He had to make these bats feel pain. Just like what he had said to Claudel Van Zhuo before, they could either stay away, submit, or die.
"What a pity …"
After touching it for a while, Li Mochen sighed and put the "Undead Necklace" on his neck.
He once again confirmed that the reason why this mythical equipment could be successfully completed was not because of how high his alchemy skills were, but because the "Magic Gold No. 7" alloy that Anthony had given away and sold was of excellent quality, which greatly increased the success rate.
With the same material, if it were the work of a real great alchemist, this item would probably be even more powerful.
In addition, Li Mochen also coveted the formula of the "Magic Gold No. 7" alloy. However, this was the result of the joint development of Anthony and several great alchemists from the Light and Magic Industry. Therefore, although they were close allies, Anthony had no right to reveal the complete formula to him.
When Li Mochen walked out of the magic tower wearing the "Undead Necklace" and the "Light Demon No. 8" armor, "Sky Scepter" in his hand, and "Strengthen God Ring" on his finger, he found that "Nemesis of Death" Thomson Beo was already waiting there.
The moment Li Mochen appeared, this person fixed his gaze on him.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Mr. Wildenstein Jr.? The two of us are going to St. Desi? I have to say, this is a very brave idea. That is the Blood King's Capital of the Secret Party's Fan Zhuo Family in the New World. "
"Of course, I'm sure. I can't pay 500 million in advance for an idea that hasn't been confirmed yet, can I? "
Li Mochen asked calmly, "Or are you afraid? Beo? "
"Afraid? How is that possible? "
Thomson Beo crossed his arms and laughed. "They don't like the smell of my blood, but they can't kill me! I'm not afraid of those guys. "
"If I were them, I'd capture you and seal you in a coffin for a few hundred years."
Li Mochen's words made Thomson Beo's face stiffen. Li Mochen pretended not to see it. He waved his hand and summoned his soul pet, Little Dragon's Pulse.
"This is a good way to deal with you, isn't it? So, Mr. Beo, if you decide to give up on this mission, I can understand, as long as you return the deposit. "
"Why? Together with the deposit, it's a total of 2 billion gold duns. Why should I give up? It's hard to come by a job with such a generous reward in the past few years. "
Thomson Beo glanced at the scepter in Li Mochen's hand and regained some confidence. "If the situation doesn't look good, you'll use it to get us out, right?"
"That depends on the situation. As the employer, you're the one to ensure my safety, not the other way around."
"Okay, I only need you to use the Divine Right of the Sky Scepter's' Void 'on me. But Mr. Wildenstein Jr., I heard that your people are now at war with the National Association of Progressives? And they're attacking from three directions at the same time? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to handle it? "
"Your information is lagging, Mr. Beo. These three battles are over. They don't have the confidence to fight me, do they? "
Li Mochen thought that this guy was indeed as long-winded as the rumors said.
With a slight thought, he controlled the Dragon's Pulse under his feet to break through the spatial barrier and glide into the void of the astral world.
Thomson Beo also shamelessly stood on the back of the Dragon's Pulse, which made the little Netherflame Dragon very unhappy. After twisting a few times, it still couldn't get rid of Thomson Beo, so it could only let him be.
It was mainly worried that if it twisted too much, it would cause discomfort to its master.
However, Li Mochen knew that no matter how hard the Dragon's Pulse tried, it couldn't get rid of Thomson Beo. This guy's life force and Divine Right of Life, as well as his saber skills, were abnormally strong. At the same time, he also had good void abilities. He was a part-time "void warlock."
He couldn't compare to the "Lord of Empty Night" Delfina or the "astral world agent" who died in his hands, but he still surpassed the standards of most demigods. He had very outstanding teleportation abilities, even above the Dragon's Pulse in this aspect. The latter had to work with him to have void abilities that were almost on par with the "Lord of Empty Night".
About 40 minutes later, they opened the spatial barrier again and entered the main material world.
The Blood King's capital of the Van Zhuo family, St. Desi, was located on the west coast of America, in the state of Washington, 17,000 kilometers away from Atlanta.
If they hurried with the magic tower of the "Village of Destiny", it would take them at least one to two days to arrive. But if it was just the two of them and a dragon, it would be much faster. With the Dragon's Pulse's current ability, 40 minutes would be enough.
This was under the condition that Li Mochen deliberately suppressed it and didn't let the Dragon's Pulse go all out. If he didn't consider the consumption of magic power, 15 minutes would be enough.
At this time, Li Mochen was almost annoyed by Thomson Beo. This guy was tirelessly chattering in his ear along the way. Even if Li Mochen sealed his hearing, it was useless. Thomson Beo had mastered the method of soul communication. He could use his own divine thoughts to pour all kinds of thoughts into Liszt, which was even more troublesome than before he sealed his hearing.
When the two of them used their voices to communicate, Thomson Beo would at least speak one sentence at a time. However, after this person switched to soul communication, he could bombard hundreds and thousands of different thoughts at the same time, making one's scalp go numb.
Li Mochen couldn't block his six senses completely. This was a very dangerous act in the astral world, and it was very easy to be attacked by strong people.
"This is St. Desi?"
After entering the main material world, the two of them stood at 20,000 meters in the air, looking towards the south.
On the surface, St. Desi was just the most ordinary town with a population of about 20,000. The atmosphere was peaceful, quiet, and leisurely. It was no different from most of the small towns in America.
However, this was the first base of the Blood Breed secret party's Van Zhuo family in America. Nearly 70% of the Van Zhuo family's upper-class vampires were gathered here. They abided by the secret party's six commandments of 'hiding', 'dominion', 'descendant', 'responsibility', 'respect', and 'killing'. They coexisted with some of the humans in this town, and had been hidden in the human society in America until now.
"Do you see it?"
Thomson Beo pointed downwards. "Below those hills are all vampire mausoleums. The town looked ordinary, but the Magic Array around it was at the Mythical level. I heard that in the early years, the CIB wanted to arrest a member of the Van Zhuo family who committed murder, but they were blocked outside this town. Until these Blood Breeds were worried about society's influence, and took the initiative to hand the guy over. And now, we're ready to kick an iron plate. "
At this moment, his expression turned serious. "Look! Those old guys have noticed, they're waking up. "
