No matter how the welcoming crowd cheered, no matter how grand and lively the banquet was, nothing could distract Han Jin's attention. Even in front of Sunier's tender affection, he would never forget his roots.
Strength was everything!
Without strength, even if Sunier and Yalina were still willing to marry him, what right did he have to protect that happiness?
Therefore, before the banquet ended, Han Jin had already quietly returned to his magic lab. As for the negotiation with Cold Shadow City, he had already left it to Guevara.
A magic crystal the size of a washbasin floated silently in the air. Faint white threads scattered from the magic crystal and filled the entire room, causing the magic lab to look like it was covered in a thick fog. Everything was blurry, and even the bright stars were blocked by the fog. However, the fog was a little strange. Within the thick milky white fog, there were countless sparks flying everywhere.
Han Jin hovered above the holy crystal. His breathing rate was very fast, almost every two seconds, and the range of his breathing was also very large. Every time he inhaled, his body would expand, and every time he exhaled, his chest would collapse inwards.
If one could get close to Han Jin, they would notice that the milky white fog floating in the room was disappearing as Han Jin breathed. Of course, the rest of the fog would quickly fill in the blanks.
From midnight until now, Han Jin had been sitting cross-legged for a total of six hours, and he had been maintaining the same breathing rhythm.
Suddenly, a light cracking sound was heard, and the Magic Crystal that was the size of a washbasin had already turned into scattered sand that fluttered on the floor.
Han Jin continued to breathe rapidly. After about half an hour, the milky white fog in the magic lab became dimmer and dimmer, and three figures slowly appeared from the fog. Two of the angels remained motionless. They knew what Han Jin was doing, but that was all they knew. The ultimate meaning of this matter could not be formed in their minds. They would only think about it if Han Jin took the initiative to ask them. Lennon quietly looked at the scattered sand on the floor, then glanced at Han Jin with an almost undetectable movement, and lowered his head again.
Han Jin finally opened his eyes. First, he moved his shoulders, and his fingertips formed a seal. His body disappeared from the air, and then appeared in front of the angels.
The next moment, Han Jin bent down, grabbed a bit of sand from the floor, and slowly twisted it in his hand.
The spirit gathering formation was fully activated. In a few days, a huge amount of energy had been extracted from the dragon crystal. Then, he used another six or seven hours to absorb all the energy. Compared to before, this was a huge improvement. However, Han Jin knew that it was still far from enough. His progress was fast, but his opponents were even faster!
"You guys, clean this place up." Han Jin said as he threw away the sand. Then, his gaze fell on the countless flying sparks. He softly said, "What pure fire elements."
An angel slowly walked forward, and pushed his hands out from his chest. A bubble-like ball of light appeared in his palms. The sand on the floor seemed to have a life of its own. It floated up and was all wrapped up in the ball of light. Then, the ball of light shrank and disappeared into the angel's chest.
"This is a good way to clean up." Han Jin calmly said, "Lennon, you used this method to hide the soil, right?"
"Master, you …" Lennon's body trembled. He didn't dare to lie, but he also didn't dare to admit it. He could only mumble.
"Hehe, I know how to do that too." Han Jin smiled. His right hand quickly formed an incantation, and then he waved his hand in the air. Countless flying sparks condensed into a point and finally turned into a strange character. It looked like the character 'Tribulation' from another world, but the structure of the character was crooked and didn't seem to be the same.
Han Jin quietly observed the character. The character was like the moonlight reflected on the surface of the water. It kept rippling and flashing. When the sparks flew around the room, it seemed very normal. Now that the sparks had condensed, the color emitted had become a bright blue. The angels couldn't help but focus on the character. They could sense a threat.
"Master, is this the magic scroll you made?" Lennon asked softly.
"You have a thirst for knowledge. Not bad." Han Jin paused. "You can say that, but it's not finished yet. Similar dragon crystals … I need at least three more. I didn't expect this!"
Lennon didn't say anything else. "A thirst for knowledge" sounded a bit harsh. He knew what Han Jin meant. Why didn't the other two angels ask?
Han Jin whispered a few words. The rippling character became smaller and smaller, and finally landed in Han Jin's palm. Although the blue sparks disappeared, the character didn't disappear. It was imprinted in the center of Han Jin's palm.
"I'll rest for a while, and then I'll go out for a walk. Lennon, come with me," Han Jin said slowly.
"Yes, Master," Lennon replied in a low voice.
The sky was already bright. Summer mornings always came early. Compared to the past, there were much fewer people on the deck. Yalina and Sunier, who rarely drank, were both drunk last night. One was drunk because she was happy, while the other was drunk because she was shy. As for Guevara, who was old but strong, determined, and ambitious, of course, he wasn't affected. He still got up early and went out to deal with government affairs.
Strictly speaking, Guevara's power wasn't very outstanding in the Holy Crown City Group. However, his position was second only to Han Jin. He had power over government affairs and military affairs. The reason was that no one could win widespread respect without paying a price.
Han Jin rested for a while and ate something. Then, he took Lennon and flew away from the God of War until they reached the edge of the city.
During the reign of Dismark, the walls of the Holy Crown City were densely packed with magic crystal cannons. Now, almost all of the magic crystal cannons had been moved to the God of War by Han Jin. There were only a few left symbolically, and it seemed a little empty.
Alexandre was busy with the soldiers. They were erecting stone pillars that were more than three meters tall on the city wall. Although Han Jin had only given the order last night, Alexandre was a swift and decisive person. Therefore, Han Jin was very confident in leaving the task to Alexandre. He didn't even need to set a deadline; Alexandre would definitely complete it in the shortest time possible.
Seeing the figures of Han Jin and Lennon, Alexandre hurriedly walked out from the soldiers and greeted Han Jin. "Sir, you're here."
"Well, I'm just looking around." Han Jin glanced around. "Is there any problem?"
"It's just that the raw materials are a little difficult to gather. After all, you asked for the entire stone pillar. Such huge stones are very rare, and it's not easy to move them," Alexandre said.
"How many have you prepared?"
"There are about twenty of them." Alexandre stepped aside and said with a smile, "Sir, it's best if you take a look at it yourself. Haha … Your magic runes are very simple, but the arrangement seems to be very complicated. Besides, our mages don't understand it at all."
Han Jin followed Alexandre and saw a few craftsmen carving next to two fallen stone pillars. The magic runes carved on the two pillars were exactly the same. The only difference was that one of the pillars had a raised magic rune, while the other one had a concave one.
Alexandre was right. Han Jin's magic runes were indeed very simple. They were all made up of long horizontal lines or two short horizontal lines. The only difference was the arrangement.
"Actually, it's not that difficult." Han Jin smiled. "You can think of the long horizontal line as one, and the short horizontal line as zero, or vice versa. That way, you won't get it wrong."
"Yes!" Alexandre suddenly understood. There were six lines carved on the top of each stone pillar, which made him dizzy. However, it was much easier to distinguish them with numbers. At least he wouldn't get it wrong.
"Lennon, do you know what these stone pillars mean?" Han Jin turned around and asked.
"What do they mean?"
"The raised ones mean day, and the concave ones mean night." Han Jin said slowly. "In my magic, day is Yang, and night is Yin. Think about it, when day and night merge, what will happen?"
"That's impossible!" Lennon shook his head.
"Nothing is impossible." Han Jin said softly. "Also, I'm asking you, if day and night really merge, what will happen?"
"I … I don't know."
"They will become the world. Of course, it will be the original world."
"The original world?" Lennon asked in surprise. He understood the meaning of the world, but what did the original world mean?
"There will be sixty-four stone pillars during the day and sixty-four stone pillars during the night. One hundred and twenty-eight stone pillars will be evenly arranged around the Holy Crown City." Han Jin revealed a smile that Lennon couldn't understand. "I call it … the Yin and Yang Great Expansion Killing Formation."
Lennon not only couldn't understand Han Jin's smile, but also couldn't understand Han Jin's words. He had a lot of questions to ask, but he didn't know where to start.
"This is a powerful magic formation. I originally wanted to set the magic formation on the God of War." Han Jin continued, "Later on, I realized that it wouldn't work. My magic array needed to borrow the power of the heavens and earth, as well as the aura of all living things. The God of War was too small, and it couldn't carry the power of the magic array. “
"The strength of all things?"
"The strength of all things is human beings." Han Jin smiled. "I'm satisfied with the scope and population of the Holy Crown City. I believe that the magic formation will succeed! Lennon, do you have a strange feeling? "
"No …" Lennon's voice was a little timid.
"How come?" Han Jin laughed. "Since you can trigger the holy crystal, of course you know the power of the holy crystal. Haha … I need the breath of the strength of all things. What is this thing? What's the difference between it and the holy crystal? You really don't want to know the answer to these questions? "
"…" Lennon mumbled, and his wings of light trembled slightly.
"Do you find that I'm similar to the God of Light or the Archangel Alpha?" Han Jin lowered his voice.
Lennon had turned into a statue, and his wings of light slowly retracted to the sides of his body.
"Since you don't want to answer, then forget it. Let's change the topic." Han Jin looked away. "In two months, I shouldn't have the energy to do anything else. Only then can I complete my magic formation. Lennon, aren't you curious? I've spent so much effort, who is it that I want to deal with? "
"Who … is it?" Lennon asked in a difficult voice.
"Of course, it's the Fallen Angel Catherine."
Lennon lowered his head little by little, and his straight waist bent a little. His reaction gave an illusion that his whole body was shrinking.
"Lennon, don't you feel it?"
"The Fallen Angel … Catherine … is the representative of evil creatures. We must …" Lennon said intermittently.
"Don't rush to answer. You have two months. You can think about it carefully." Han Jin said lightly. "To be honest, the seal in your body has been loosened to the extent that even you can feel it. I didn't interfere with you because I wanted to give you a fair chance to think independently. “
If angels could sweat, then Lennon's cold sweat would have soaked his entire body. He had always been afraid of Han Jin, not only because of the influence of Tao, but also because he clearly knew that Han Jin could take everything away from him with a wave of his hand, including his life.
"Master …" Lennon immediately prostrated himself on the ground, looking like the most devout believer worshipping the God of Light.
Alexandre's soldiers were better off. Most of them were veterans who had been through hundreds of battles, and the new recruits had also undergone Alexandre's strict training. No matter what Lennon did, the soldiers were still busy with their work, as if they didn't see anything. However, the craftsmen were different. When they saw an Angel of Light kneeling down in front of Lennon, they immediately became noisy. Although they were immediately scolded by the soldiers and returned to their work, their eyes still drifted over from time to time.
"You can go back first." Han Jin said softly. "Think about it carefully, then tell me your thoughts. Remember, I'll give you two months at most."
"Understood, Master," Lennon replied softly, then slowly straightened his body and floated into the air.
"Sir, this angel … seems a little different?" Alexandre whispered as he looked at Lennon's back.
"You're right, he is indeed different." Han Jin smiled.
After chatting with Alexandre for a while, Han Jin walked around the city and went to find Guevara. By the time he returned to the God of War, it was already noon, and Miriam had brought the maids with her to deliver lunch to everyone.
Only then did Han Jin realize that Sunier and Yalina hadn't woken up yet. He couldn't help but worry. Because he was in a hurry to train, he didn't wait for the banquet to end. God knows how much Sunier and Yalina drank!
Leaving his seat, Han Jin quickly walked down the deck. After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards Yalina's room first. When he opened the door, he saw two figures wriggling on the bed. Han Jin's heart skipped a beat, then he saw a head of smooth golden hair. Han Jin was relieved. So it was Sunier.
As he walked closer, he saw that Yalina was lying on her back, taking up most of the space on the bed, while Sunier was lying on her side. Yalina was indeed drunk and couldn't sleep well. Sometimes she would talk in her sleep, and sometimes she would move her body. Sunier, on the other hand, was motionless. Only when Yalina's hands and feet touched her or she talked in her sleep would she open her eyes slightly, then close them again. Her experience living in the jungle made her instinctively alert, but because she was too sleepy, she couldn't resist.
If Yalina was a lazy cat basking in the sun, then Sunier was a cheetah who was alert in her sleep, or a drunken leopard.
Han Jin was angry and amused at the same time. After watching for a while, he suddenly had the urge to play a prank. He stepped onto the bed, tiptoed and pushed Yalina to the side, then lay down comfortably in the middle.
Yalina's bed was a single bed. Although Han Jin's body wasn't as strong as Morrisons', he was still much bigger than Yalina. He took up half of the space on the bed, and poor Yalina was squeezed to the side of the wall.
Perhaps she felt uncomfortable, or perhaps she wasn't satisfied with the dream, but Yalina mumbled something and shook her head vigorously.
On one side was a hard wall, and on the other was a flexible body. Yalina, who was in deep sleep, made a reasonable choice. She struggled to turn around and leaned against Han Jin, one of her hands naturally resting on Han Jin's chest.
Han Jin closed his eyes, held back his laughter, and waited quietly. He wanted to see how Yalina and Sunier would react when they woke up, but who knew that a wave of tiredness would hit him, and after a moment, he also fell asleep.
With Han Jin's current level of advancement, although his physical strength could withstand six to seven hours of high-intensity breathing exercises, the consumption of his spirit and willpower was very great. He was really tired, and this wasn't something that the energy in the dragon crystal could make up for.
After an unknown amount of time, Sunier finally woke up from her sleep. She stretched her body, and the seed of flirtatiousness had already taken shape between Sunier's eyebrows. Her lazy posture was extremely charming. The next moment, Sunier felt that something was wrong beside her. She hurriedly opened her eyes and saw Han Jin. She was stunned for a moment, and then her face flushed. What happened last night? The three of them sleeping together … It was really inappropriate!
Sunier tried to sit up and quietly leave, only to find that the skirt she didn't take off last night was pressed down by Han Jin. The bed was so narrow that the three of them were tightly squeezed together! Sunier was stunned for a moment, and then sighed helplessly. Forget it, I'll just pretend to sleep. If Han Jin and Yalina woke up, the situation would be even more awkward.
At this moment, Yalina's vague voice came from the other side. "Sister Sunier … you're too heavy, you're too …" Before she could finish, she stopped abruptly.
Had Yalina woken up as well? Thinking of this, Sunier closed her eyes tightly.
