Chapter 565 Surprise
Big Chapter Asks for a Monthly Pass!

Li Mochen knew that the other party was planning to bargain, and the momentum he created at this time was nothing more than an attempt to show him the ability to burn jade.
"No need!"
Li Mochen shook his head again, and with a wave of his hand, he sent a pre-prepared contract to Odyssey Fanzhuo: "I don't have so much time to discuss with you, and I am not a strict master. If you agree to this contract, you will sign it, if you don't agree, we will go to war, it's as simple as that. Congratulations, can I extend another twenty seconds and get back to me as soon as possible?"
Thomson Beo next to him couldn't help but stick his head out and poke his head: "What terms are written on it? β
Odyssey Van Zhuo frowned as he looked at the unfolded scroll, which was two meters long. Although there are tens of thousands of words on it, with his eyesight and mental power, he can understand it at a glance.
"It's not harsh, really. β
Odyssey Fanzhuo couldn't help but exhale lightly, and his eyes relaxed a little: "There are two more reasonable requests from the contemptible people, and I must ask Your Highness to grant them." β
Probably worried about the lack of time, Odyssey Fanzhuo's voice was slightly more hurried than before: "First, I hope that Your Highness will not use the power of our Fanzhuo family when fighting against the secret alliance of the blood clan, unless the secret party takes the initiative to attack us. There is an ancient covenant between our seven families, and the murder between our own families is also the most cruel thing in the world. β
"Isn't there less of a killing of each other?"
The corners of Li Mochen's lips were coldly raised, and his eyes were stunned: "But this request is barely reasonable, and I agreed." β
"Secondly, as you can see, the Fanzhuo family has suffered heavy casualties under your blow. I want you to give the Fanzhuo family the right to recuperate, and for the next three years, our people will not be involved in any fighting. β
Seeing that Li Mochen's gaze began to sharpen, and his aura was full of murderous intent, Odyssey Fanzhuo changed his voice again: "Of course, as the only intact person in this battle, there is also Prince Schroeder Fanzhuo, who will be at your disposal in the next time! I believe that the combat effectiveness of the two of us will not disappoint you." β
Li Mochen couldn't help but squint his eyes, looking him up and down, he pondered for a moment, and then smiled sarcastically: "You seem to have any other plans, but it doesn't matter." Then do what you say, change the terms. You'd better be quick, I'm pressed for time, King Vandro. β
Odyssey Van Zhuo's pupils contracted slightly, and then he used his hands to erase some of the words on the scroll, and then inscribed new words, and then signed his name on the scroll with a decrepit face.
He didn't stall, and the Light and Demon Eight on the other side didn't completely curb his power. The many Fanzhuo bloodlines in the small town below are still under the influence of the other party, and with just one thought from this person, the thousands of pure-blooded people of the Fanzhuo family will be directly annihilated.
At the same time, those Blood Clan Legends who had been hidden in the mausoleum could only last two to three minutes longer.
At this time, any small action he makes against the other party is very stupid.
And after he signed his name, Odyssey Van Zhuo gave the contract in his hand to another blood prince behind him.
This deed of submission is not just signed by him alone, the Fanzhuo family has passed down more than a dozen different bloodlines with their princes as the source. This contract can only be truly valid if the ancestors of these bloodlines have signed their real names with their own blood.
"I can probably guess why His Highness is in a hurry. β
Odyssey Fanzhuo looked at Li Mochen again, his head bowed slightly, showing his respect and obedience: "I wonder if Your Highness can tell me that it will be Bruch or Gangero who will be lucky enough to be accepted under His Highness next?"
The Secret League is the largest existing party in the Blood Clan, and seven of the thirteen clans of the Blood Clan are members of the Secret Party.
Among these seven secret ethnic groups, the three tribes of Fanzhuo, Bruch and Gangero are the most powerful.
Among them, the Fanzhuo family is regarded as a natural leader, maintaining the foundation of the secret party, and is also the defender and enforcer of the Six Commandments, serving as the blood lords of most cities. And their members, either the aristocracy, or the wealthy merchants, or other members of the upper class, wielded great wealth.
The second is the Bruhe clan, whose fighting ability and quality can be said to be the strongest among the blood clans, and they are natural warriors. The number of strong people in the clan is almost not inferior to that of Fan Zhuo.
Then there's Gangero, a beast-like population more like humans than humans. They usually live in the wild, are closer to nature, and have a style similar to that of druids and naturalists. In fact, some of them are indeed members of the Church of the Goddess of Nature and receive the protection of the Goddess.
They are also usually formidable warriors, and unlike the Bruch, the Gangaro's bravery in battle comes not from the lawlessness of their blood, but from their strength and bestial instincts derived from nature.
"It's none of your business, King of Van Zhuo!"
Li Mochen refused directly, he would not be stupid enough to answer such a question and give the other party a chance to report the news.
Although the contract is now in place, who knows if the ancient man of the Bloodline has any other way to pass on the news to his kindred.
Seeing that the blood princes present had already signed their names on the surrender contract, Li Mochen made a move and took it into his own hands.
This contract is not a simple astral spiritual contract, but also incorporates his own power. Anyone who tries to disobey the sign will suffer the interference of his life and death divine power, as well as the scorching of the 'true fire of the sun'.
Odyssey Van Dro, you have earned your people the right to live. For the next three years, you can have peace and recuperation. But before that, remember to send the belongings specified in the contract to Atlanta as soon as possible. Also, as an obligation of my vassals, in a month's time, I want you and Schroeder Van Trut to be present in Manhattan!"
That's where Anthony Braden chose to be promoted, even though Lights & Magic is now based in California, in Los Angeles. But the Braden family originated in Manhattan, where they had more allies to serve as support.
At the same time, Thomas Milan, the god of alchemy, machinery and craftsmen, was stronger on the west coast and weaker on the east coast of America.
Odyssey Fanzhuo's strength is still worth looking forward to, this is a strong man who has a medium divine power and a weak god level.
As for the other Prince Schroeder Van Zhuo, he also has a kind of medium divine power, and his combat power is close to that of God.
As for the property that Li Mochen was referring to, it included most of the materials in Bethel Estadine's list and up to 200 soul gold coins. In addition, the Fanzhuo family also had to compensate Li Mochen with 10 billion gold and provide 1 billion gold every year as an annual payment.
This condition is quite harsh, although the Fanzhuo family has a lot of assets. But the overall scale of wealth is only a line stronger than that of the Willtenstein family. And it's very scattered, scattered in major cities.
This is due to the pressure of the Church of God and the human government, and they are outliers after all. Once they control more than a certain amount of wealth, they will attract the human forces to strike mercilessly.
At the same time, they are also the money bags of the seven clans of the entire secret party alliance, providing various resources for almost all members of the secret party. The blood bags used to ensure their survival every year alone require a huge amount of money.
Therefore, the paper contract provided by Li Mochen still has quite a heavy pressure on the Fanzhuo family, and it can be said that it is just stepping on the edge of the bottom line.
"Of course!"
Odyssey Van Zhuo's expression was respectful: "Your will is now my mission." β
And by the time he finished speaking, Li Mochen had already entered the void with the 'enemy of death' Thomson Beo.
"As a result, the Sky Scepter was not used. β
Thomson Beo continued to stand on the back of the little dragon vein, grinning, "So where is the next target? Bruch or Gangero?"
"It's Remor!"
Li Mochen shook his head: "Bruch is a plate of loose sand, Gangero is hidden in the deep suburbs and forests, and there is the protection of the goddess of nature, I don't need to look for them." β
According to his knowledge of the blood clan, the Bruch clan is a group of thorns, with many hills, no one obeys anyone, and there is no common royal capital. The interior of the clan as a whole is divided into three factions, and there are different small parties under the factions. He couldn't find the blood princes one by one. It's hard to find, and there's no time.
As for Gangaro, a group of blood druids is even more difficult to deal with, and those who are supported by the beast nature are much more backbone than the Fanzhuo clan.
The point is that both families must rely on Fanzhuo's financial resources to survive. So after he took control of the Fanzhuo family, he was able to influence these two vampire groups to a certain extent.
And Rui Moer is another powerful clan among the blood clans.
They were not pure blood, nor were they children of Lilith and Cain. They were originally a group of human magicians who longed for eternal life in the early Middle Ages, and they were tempted and helped by some power, and through alchemy and magic, combined with the blood of an ancient blood clan, they obtained the life form of vampires, and thus obtained the latter's long life.
However, because of this, they also lost the source of human mana and magic, resulting in the complete loss of the original magic. However, many of these mages were extremely intelligent, and they turned to developing blood energy, creating a system called 'blood magic', and a powerful class called 'blood mage'.
Initially, this clan was not recognized by the Bloods and was ostracized by all the Bloods. But in the era when the Cult of Light swept away all heresies and dark creatures in the Old World, the powerful combat power displayed by those blood mages allowed them to gain a place in the Esoteric Alliance.
In modern times, they strictly abide by the rules of seclusion and concealment, and do not usually associate with other clans of the secret party.
In Li Mochen's opinion, a group of long-standing and knowledgeable mages and alchemists were obviously much more useful than the battle maniacs of the two major clans, Bruch and Gangaro.
"Well, that's a wise choice. β
Thomson Beo smiled expectantly: "So it's still two billion gold shields, right? This is another task, you have to pay for it." β
"Five hundred million!"
Li Mochen bargained without hesitation: "The next task is safer, and those blood mages are also a group of poor ghosts." β
Although the Rui Mor clan does not need the financial support of the Fanzhuo clan like other races. However, due to the limited ways to harvest wealth, and the consumption of spell cultivation and research, they are still very tight in terms of money - even this clan has a large number of alchemists, and even great alchemists.
Therefore, he expected that this trip to the Rui Moor clan would not have much money to gain.
"Shit, you're stingy!"
Thomson Beo scolded: "I guess the money you extorted from the Fanzhuo family must be at least more than ten billion, and you can also get the effectiveness of an entire vampire clan." No wonder Dale has so much grudge against you. Although the woman herself was a miser, of course she was also poor. β
He is also familiar with the 'Void Night Monarch' Delphinia Edric, and the Inhumans have hired him to help him in their actions in recent years.
Li Mochen rolled his eyes, but he didn't hear it. However, he was clever this time, not turning off his sense of hearing, and from time to time he replied to Thomson Beau, so that the latter did not feel that he was speaking to the air.
It's annoying, but it's better than being mentally bombarded by this guy.
And just after the two of them shuttled away from the astral boundary, a figure flashed in front of Odyssey Fanzo's eyes in the sky above the small town of St. Desi.
"King, could it be that we, the blood clan of Amerika, and the clan of Fanzhuo, can only accept the fate of being enslaved in the future?"
This person is none other powerful person of the Fanzhuo clan - Schroeder Fanzhuo!
"You've read the contract he offered, haven't you? It's harsh, but it's not unacceptable. The point is that we have no choice, Saint-Cyr Van Zo and Trol Van Zou have already died at his hands, and the whole process has only taken three minutes. He has enough power to kill fifteen of our remaining seventeen here. The Fanzhuo clan will be completely destroyed by him. That Sky Scepter, he is not used to escape, but to prevent us from escaping. β
Odyssey Vanzo shook his head: "Be patient, wait for Lilith and Cain to awaken, and the twelve True Ancestors." I bought our clan three years. In three years' time, the world will change. β
"That's all there is to it. β
The Prince of the Blood Clan named Schroeder sighed: "But I'm still very worried, common sense speaking, the oath of the ancestors in our bloodline is above all contracts. But the terms of that contract were very tight, and I feared that the power of the bloodline would not allow us to get out of his control. This person's talent and strength are too strong. Three years from now, who knows what the situation will be. If he becomes a high god, then even Lilith will not be able to free us from control. Of course, this is unlikely, but it cannot be ignored. β
When Odyssey Fanzhuo heard this, he looked to the east silently, and only spoke after a long time: "I know where his next target is, it should be Rui Moor." β
β»β»β»β»
The Rymor Clan's chosen settlement in America is not far from Yellowstone. These powerful blood mages have carved out a large-scale half-plane here for daily residence.
The diameter of this half-plane is more than 100 kilometers, and the area is no less than that of Atlanta, which has a population of tens of millions. There are no less than 300 magic towers floating inside, and under these tall and low magic towers, there is a huge city full of science and technology.
To Li Mochen's surprise, the process of his subjugation of the Rui Moer clan was very easy. Li Mochen and Thomson Beo had just shuttled into this half-plane when they saw Moses Remoor, the patriarch of the Remar clan, with a group of demigods and legendary-level blood mages, waiting for them.
There was no battle between the two sides, and Moses Remorle directly led everyone to bow down to Li Mochen, and there was no objection to the contract provided by the latter, which made Li Mochen and Thomson Beo extremely curious.
"Your Highness, you should know the origin of our Rui Moor clan, right?"
Moses Remorle explained calmly, with a calm complexion, and not unfazed by the enslavement of himself and his clan: "In the early Middle Ages, our survival was difficult, and all the members were in fear under the hunt of the Holy See. Until Emperor Barbarossa gave us shelter, he not only gave us peace and time to study blood magic, but also provided us with a lot of money to forge a magic tower. Therefore, the Rymor clan has always been the most loyal courtier of the Hohenstaufen Dynasty, and Emperor Barbarossa has helped us far more than the other clans of the Secret Alliance. And now, serving you, who have inherited the glory of the Hohenstaufen dynasty and hold the power of life and death, is not unacceptable to all of us clansmen. β
When he said this, Moses Rui Moer leaned slightly towards Li Mochen: "The Rui Moer clan is willing to fight for you and become your loyal subordinate. Correspondingly, we also hope that His Royal Highness can treat our people fairly and justly, just like the original Emperor Barbarossa. β
Li Mochen regretted it very much, if he had known that there was such a relationship between Rui Moer and the Hohenstaufen family, then he would not have promised Thomson Beo 500 million gold shields.
The latter also let out a string of quacking chuckles: "Wow, it seems that you don't have to fight, right? I picked up 500 million gold shields for nothing, which made me mentally balance little Mr. Wildenstein." β
Moses Remorle also invited Li Mochen to visit his twentieth floor of magic to learn about the current situation of the Remor clan. But he was rejected by Li Mochen, he was very interested in these blood mages, but since it only took two or three minutes in total on the side of the Rui Demon Clan. That means he can now go to another place and try his luck.
"What's next?"
Thomson Beo asked again: "Mocavi Nofele, or Torredot?"
"It's Torredot!"
Li Mochen controlled the small dragon vein and traveled in the astral realm again: "They are a little useful to me. β
The Secret Tareth are known by many aliases, such as "Fallen", "Artist", "Poser", and even "Hedonist".
The members of this clan consider themselves to be elegant, flamboyant, and talented with stupid, fantastical, and wandering. They also like to hang out in the upper class, but unlike Fandro, the members of the Torredo don't like the boring officialdom. The sole purpose of their activities in high society is to be noticed and praised, so most of them are active as artists, aristocrats, wealthy merchants, etc.
And what Li Mochen values is the intelligence ability of the Tori Duo clan. Their tentacles have penetrated into every corner of the American upper class.
In addition, the current patriarch of the Torido clan is also one of the only four ancients of the Ameri Crypto Clan. Although this theoretical weak god's combat power is very weak in rumors, this person is also an ancient member of the blood clan after all.
"But Beo, I'm not going to give you money this time, we haven't had any fights before. β
"Shit, at least 300 million! Otherwise, I'll leave now." β
Thomson Beo couldn't help but scold: "It's up to you to say such things, you are even blacker than old Willtenstein." β
"Two hundred million!"
Li Mochen replied very calmly: "This is the money that I picked up for nothing, isn't it? β
In fact, whether it is dealing with the previous Van Zhuo or the later Rui Moer, Deelphinia's ability is better than that of the enemy of death.
However, Li Mochen didn't let the 'Void Night King' and the Inhumans eat too much at one time, he also had to let the woman realize that she still had a strong competitor.
"That's what you said!"
Thomson Beo turned his anger into joy and spread his hands at the same time: "But Mr. Willtenstein, Jr., what you have done has broken my heart. I can see that you really want to subdue me, right? But I can't like a boss like you, you have to show me sincerity. β
Li Mochen scoffed: "Forget it, Beo! It's the incident in Manhattan a month later, I can give you a well-paid employment contract, if you're interested." β
Can't he see what kind of person this guy is? He still knows who can be subdued and who can only be restrained.
And Thomson Beo is a guy who is difficult to impress even if he puts in 120,000 sincerity. The only thing he can do is to restrain himself, use their friendship and enough commission to try to get this person on his side.
And, of course, its own deterrent.
The potential of the enemy of death is almost not inferior to that of Anthony. And even the current Thomson Beo is comparable to Robert in combat effectiveness. On some special occasions, he can even contain a powerful magician - it doesn't need to be a certain amount of preparation like the blood-eyed maid, so Li Mochen doesn't want to be an enemy with this guy.
"Anthony, is it? That's a shame. β
Thomson Beo sighed with regret: "I have signed a contract with Anthony, and I will stay by his side twenty-four hours a day, and I can't leave." But he's a lot more generous than you. If he can survive and succeed in entering the legend, then this day can give me eight billion, and this money can make me idle for a few years. β
When Li Mochen heard this, he smiled dumbly.
He knew that Thomson Beo made a lot of money, but he also spent a lot. The money that this guy really spends on himself is actually very small, and the strange physique of the enemy of death allows him to grow quickly without too many cultivation resources. So the vast majority of this money has been invested by Thomson Beo into various charitable organizations, and it is still the kind that really does charity-
In the past, there were people who tried to cheat the Enemy of Death out of money in the name of charity. But soon after, the two charitable organizations were bloodied by Thomson Beo from top to bottom. The leaders of those two organizations were even chopped alive by him.
And this time, for the disaster in Atlanta, Thomson Beo donated 700 million gold shields.
- All in all, this is really a guy worth befriending.
The royal capital of the Torredo clan, near Las Vegas, Nevada. It is not only a famous gambling city, but also a huge tourist city. And most of the people of the Torredo clan like to linger here and enjoy the drunken gold fans of Las Vegas. They also have extremely deep roots in this gambling city and have obtained good financial resources.
It is only 8,000 kilometers away from Yellowstone. And this time, when Li Mochen piloted the Little Dragon Vein to sail the astral boundary, he also did his best, and he didn't worry about the loss of mana at all.
After the two clans of Fan Zhuo and Rui Moer surrendered one after another, the secret blood clan of America had no strong people worthy of Li Mochen's jealousy.
The ancient man of the Tori Duo clan, Li Mochen didn't pay attention to it at all. As for Gangero's family, most of them are still sleeping in some wilderness, blending into nature, and the possibility of running out is very small.
Therefore, Li Mochen didn't care about the possible counterattack of the Blood Clan's secret party at all, and was confident that after experiencing the high-speed voyage of the Star Boundary, he would be able to suppress the entire clan of Tori Duo and any additional situation.
Just three minutes later, the two of them were once again out of the astral plane. The moment he entered the main material realm, Li Mochen opened his divine thoughts in a full range.
Just a moment later, the corners of Li Mochen's lips showed a happy smile.
The people of the Torredo clan should have received the news, and their clansmen are being evacuated in pieces. But these Toriduo are worthy of being the most lazy of the seven clans of the secret party, and at this time, there are still seven princes of the Toriduo clan staying in this city.
β»β»β»β»
At the same time, at the Rising Sun Biopharmaceutical Base in Manhattan, Li Mochen's subordinate looked at Professor Gu Hong who was waiting on the opposite side of the portal with a confused face after stepping out of the portal.
"Professor Gu, listening to your tone just now, it seems that there is some good news here, right? Is it that the 'knight-level creature suit' has been completed?"
In Rising Sun Biopharmaceutical, the ten- to twelve-level strength of the bio-breeding suit is named 'Warrior'. Among them, Type A is a melee type, and Type B is a marksman, both of which have been developed and started mass production. Type C is the mage class, this model is slightly more difficult to develop, the progress is not ideal, and it has not yet been finalized.
Knight, on the other hand, refers to the 13th to 14th level of the Creature Formation. At present, both Type A and Type B are progressing well, and according to the R&D briefing he received three days ago, the results can be produced within a week at most.
Li Mochen's secondary body was originally studying how to make the blade horn of the 'Golden-winged Sword Dragon' into a divine weapon in the magic tower.
But just half an hour ago, when he started to try to design a magic array, he received a communication request from Gu Hong.
The latter asked him to go to the biological experiment base in Manhattan as soon as possible, saying that he had important matters to report to him.
"It's not knight-level, it's going to take at least two days. β
Gu Hong's face was full of excitement: "But there is indeed great good news, our purchasing department has bought a few good things." β
As he spoke, he walked forward and led Li Mochen into an experimental control room with transparent glass walls on all sides.
"Look at the left, this is the box of Moshrahs we recently bought. There are thirteen in total this month, and I don't know why, but recently there has been a sudden increase in the number of Moshra relics on the market. It is said that two more Moshra ruins have been excavated there, and this is the nineteenth in half a year. Some archaeologists have confirmed that the heavy damage suffered by the Mayan civilization back then was due to the invasion of the Moshra, which should have been a glorious civilization, a glorious god systemβ"
It may feel like he is off topic, Professor Gu Hong did not continue to go deeper on this topic, and he pointed to the right again: "But what we have gained the most is the two colony boxes on the right." β
Li Mochen looked sideways, and then found a laboratory here. There were two black boxes, but inside were not the 'black ooze' and 'slime' he had seen before, but something like leather armor, with a metallic reflection on the surface. Around them, there are all kinds of instruments that are doing detection, sensing and data collection.
At first glance, Li Mochen noticed the difference between the two biological suits. Their life forms are more stable, their breath is more powerful, and they are very compatible with the surging magical energy around them, almost perfectly integrated into them, and they do not have a strong desire to attack.
"It's a demigod-level armor?"
Li Mochen's eyes were shocked for a while, and he almost concentrated on the two pieces of battle armor in the cultivation box, and even entered the Heavenly Heart State to sense.
Then within a moment, Li Mochen had already determined that this was indeed a demigod-level battle armor!
This made Li Mochen's mind gush out of unbelievable ecstasy.
As early as four months ago, he delegated the acquisition and unlocking method of the colonization box to Gu Hong. But at that time, he never thought that the procurement staff of Glorious Sun Biopharmaceutical Company would bring him such a big surprise.
"These two demigod armors are much more stable than the legendary-level, they are more self-disciplined, and they also have the ability to 'hibernate', which can make themselves enter a state close to hibernation and reduce their own attrition. Therefore, there is still plenty of energy in their bodies, and the seal that has lasted for two thousand years has not made them feel hungry. β
Gu Hong's eyes glowed: "BOSS, we must crack their mysteries." This will make our technology in biocolonization equipment greatly improved and safer. β
Li Mochen already understood his intentions: "You want one or two demigods to sit in and help you analyze their structures, right?"
"It's better to have two demigods with extra strong sense, and while they seem safe, we need to prevent accidents, don't we?"
Gu added: "There is more financial investment, more scientific researchers, and more sophisticated equipment, which must be at the level of a national laboratory." β
"Yes!"
Li Mochen's voice was categorical, and his eyes flashed with disagreement, he had no reason to disagree.
"But we had to move to Atlanta. I recently acquired the Howard family's Howard Pharmaceuticals, which have two larger, safer, and more advanced laboratories. I would like to transfer all the research materials and personnel here. β
Gu Hong hesitated a little when he heard this, and then agreed: "Yes, I will try my best to convince the employees." It's not a big problem, with such good research materials, our core personnel will not give up easily. But I also hope that the boss will provide them with a superior living environment. β
Atlanta is, after all, the stronghold of the Wildenstein family, and their experiments have entered the demigod stage. Since Gu Hong knew that Howard Pharmaceutical Company was also included in Li Mochen's bag, he knew that they wouldn't be here for long, and Atlanta was undoubtedly safer than Manhattan.
"Also, I want one of these two demigod costumes. β
Li Mochen looked sideways: "It's okay, right?"
He obviously sensed Gu Hong's reluctance, and then chuckled: "If the demigods of the Moshra people have the second one, there must be a third one, we have enough funds, and sooner or later we will get it." Also, I can provide you with data on how you use it after you wear it, which is important, isn't it? It's more beneficial for your research. β
"Okay!"
Gu Hong sighed: "Who made you my boss?" But this demigod-level colonization suit is not without risks, it requires the host to have strong spiritual power, which is almost not inferior to the demigod-level strength. Otherwise, they will not be able to withstand the consciousness inside the demigod suit, resulting in mental damage or even corrosion and assimilation. So boss, if you're going to use it, you'll have to pay attention. β
