Chapter 563 Funeral Spirit
"There's no need to continue to consume, let the people on State Highway 35 retreat!The fifth and sixth legendary groups provide cover, pay attention to proportion, and don't be pulled by the people on the other side—"
In Houston City, inside the Smith Manor, in the underground operations command room, John Adams had a headache and touched his head.
"It's a troublesome situation right now, they've completely abandoned defending and are focusing on attacking with manpower. It's probably the course of action that if I lose a freight train, then I will make you pay three times, or even ten times the price. The problem is that now, they can Allin at any time, and we don't dare. ”
He turned his office chair and looked at the old men behind him: "You know, father, the strategy adopted by the National Association of Progressives now seems to me to be like a pack of jackals besieging a rhinoceros." Knowing that he can't do it, he still has to run up to provoke, and he must be picked over by a rhinoceros and crushed to feel comfortable. ”
"Otherwise, they're attacking us like crazy. If we don't do anything at all, what will outsiders think of us, Adams?"
A white-haired old man first said with a sneer, and then smiled bitterly: "Of course, the current situation is no different, and it is even more embarrassing." Then again, isn't there really a way to deal with that sniper, that Sky Scepter?"
"Snipers are easy to deal with, as long as they are prepared so that they can't shoot. The problem is again the combination of the Sky Scepter, the lucky Andre, the Void Night King, and the Sniper. In terms of spatial ability, unless it was a god who held a high divine power, it would be difficult to suppress them. We've prepared three methods, but we don't expect them to work too well. ”
"Our two Magicians are already designing a magic circle that can completely block the Sky Scepter and most of the Void abilities as long as they can lead them to a specific battlefield. But how to lead is a problem, and it will take time to complete the design of this magic array. ”
"Obviously, their purpose is to beat the time difference. Until we have an effective enough response, weaken the National Association of Progressives as much as possible and crack down on the 'Veterinary Blood Elixir' project. In just two days, seven families and nearly 200 members have quit the organization. It is expected that in the coming days, there will be more and more such people. ”
At this time, the old man with white hair sitting at the top was also frowning.
"Hasn't the Tarossi Public Consulting Company responded yet? What did they say?"
"Not yet, father!"
John Adams shook his head: "My personal advice is not to get too much hope up on these lobbyists, who have adopted a clever strategy to tie up with the National Association of Progressives and our three families." If Congress is going to pass a proposal to sanction the Wildenstein group through the Atlanta tragedy, then we must also sanction the National Association of Progressives. This means that they only need to control a small percentage of their legislators to resist our offensive in Congress. Moreover, His Excellency the President does not seem to want to see this proposal passed, and is blocking it openly and covertly. So, even though Tarossi Public Consulting is Abraham K Street's No. 1 lobbying firm, I don't think they can do it either. ”
"He forgot who helped him up?"
The old man snorted softly, then clenched his cane: "So, he didn't take our hints to heart either, did he?"
"As far as I know, His Excellency the President has made some efforts, and he has been in contact with the Wildenstein family. However, that Andrey, he refused the olive branch we handed over. ”
John Adams sighed softly, "Father, as I said, don't take others for idiots. He knew it was a good opportunity, and the National Association of Progressives would have to make peace with them anyway. But it only takes ten days late, and the vast majority of the members of this association will leave it. And the Wildensteins now only have to bear a small price—"
"And what do you mean, John?" said another old man in a shimmering spirit, "is it intended to stop the war against the Wildensteins, right?"
"Yes, at least to stop using force. ”
John Adams bowed slightly: "As far as I know them, as long as we stop attacking with force, they will not take the initiative to provoke us." After all, in terms of manpower and war potential, they are still quite inferior. But if the family must want to save face, or give them a return respect. Then I think the day Anthony was promoted to legend, it was a perfect time. This should be in the near future, within ten to twenty days. It would be a battlefield they couldn't get out of with their spatial abilities—"
"What do you seem to think, John?"
The white-haired old man in the top position looked at John Adams thoughtfully: "Let's talk about it, if it's feasible-"
※※※※
In the alchemy room of the 'Land of Destiny' Magic Tower, Li Mochen's main body and auxiliary body were all looking at the refining furnace located in the center. At this moment, a necklace floated out of the furnace.
The pendant on it is made of the wooden heart of the 'Blue Marsh Demon Vine', which has been refined and condensed by Li Mochen into the size of two fingers. Then in the center of it, a blue gem is set on the front and a black object on the back.
The gem is a mythical treasure called the 'Dictor Life Stone', and legend has it that Rhea, the second queen of heaven and earth in Greece, gave birth to five children in a row with the god king Kronos, all of whom were cruelly devoured by Kronos.
So when she gave birth to Zeus, Rhea wrapped her baby in a stone and coaxed the god-king Kronus to swallow it. And this stone, which is the 'Dictor Life Stone', of course, can deceive a god king, and it must be of a higher grade,
The black horn is from a demigod-level underworld creature 'Hades Dragon' - not a bone dragon and a dragon lich, but a dragon that lives in the underworld and has the shape of a bipedal wyvern. Their horns were rich in death power, and Li Mochen took one of them, which just corresponded to the 'Dickt Life Stone'.
The choker is made of the 'Magic Gold No. 7' alloy provided by Anthony, and the whole is braided in the shape of an olive leaf. Li Mochen burned dense magic patterns on it, which looked no different from ordinary hollow gold chains on the surface. Just because those lines are close to the nanometer level, they are contained in the overall glyphs, and ordinary people may not be able to find them even with a magnifying glass.
It is worth mentioning the 'Magic Gold No. 7' alloy, which is a mixed metal made from more than seven mythical metals smelted in a special process according to a certain ratio. While retaining the properties of these mythical metals, they also eliminate their weaknesses. Therefore, this 'Demon Gold No. 7' is not only very strong, but also has a good ability to guide demons, and can also strengthen the power of divine power and law.
Thanks to this, the process of refining this necklace was very smooth. Li Mochen could easily carve the huge magic pattern array he designed into the inside and outside of the necklace, without worrying that it would not be able to withstand the pressure of the magic energy array and cause damage. That wooden heart has also been able to preserve most of its abilities, and it has even been greatly enhanced.
Even the loss of merit was extremely small, and it only took more than fifteen thousand wisps as a result—Li Mochen only needed a little more than a month now to be able to gather this amount of merit qi.
"It's finally done!"
When the flame power under the alchemy furnace completely subsided, Li Mochen leaned out his mana and took the pendant he named 'Burial Spirit' in front of him. While gently rubbing with his hands, there was also a hint of complexity in his eyes.
This mythical weapon was originally used by him to replace the 'Yin Yang Mirror of Life and Death' to fight against Philip I and others. By the time it was made, Philip and his wings were gone, and only magic had left Ron Edmund alive in his kingdom.
Judging from its power, it seems to be outdated at the moment of refining.
In his hands now, Li Mochen already has the 'Scarlet Dragon Armor', the 'Sky Scepter', the 'Strong Divine Ring' and the 'Dragon Might', as well as the bracelet that Estadine is refining. And their power and effect are all above this pendant.
But in fact, this thing still has a huge significance to Li Mochen.
First of all, this is the first 'artifact' that he Li Mochen has refined. In the realm of the Primordial Firmament, due to the scarcity of spiritual power, even if Li Mochen accumulated merits to tens of thousands of wisps, he would not be able to complete a quasi-'artifact', let alone an artifact-level treasure. This was more or less an experience, which deepened his understanding of the magic pattern array and alchemy.
Secondly, this thing can allow Li Mochen to grasp a more powerful 'divine power of life and death'. Although this could not be used on Philip I and others, his enemies were not just Philip I. After the death of the latter, there was the National Association of Progressives, and the Bloodline, among others.
Especially against creatures that fall somewhere between life and death, his necklace will work better than any mythical weapon.
When the two princes of the blood clan, Uhtred Jimire and Klodar Fanzhuo, intervened in his war with Philip and others again, Li Mochen had the idea of teaching the blood clan another profound lesson. However, due to its own power of life and death, it has not yet reached the point where it can sweep everything, so it has not been implemented for the time being.
But Li Mochen also booked the time for the counterattack, which was the day when this 'Burial Spirit Pendant' was refined. Just from the name of this artifact, it can be known that Li Mochen believes that it will be the 'burial' of all necromantic creatures.
He had to make the bat monsters feel pain, as if he had told Klodar Vandro before, stay away, surrender, or die.
"It's a pity—"
After Li Mochen touched and sensed it for a while, he sighed and put the 'Funeral Spirit Necklace' on his neck instead.
He once again confirmed that the reason why this mythical weapon could be successfully completed was not because of how high his alchemy skills were, but because the 'Magic Gold VII' alloy that Anthony half-gave away and half sold was of excellent material, which greatly increased the chance of success.
The same material, if it is replaced by those real great alchemists, this artifact will presumably be even more powerful.
In addition, Li Mochen also coveted the formula of the 'Magic Gold No. 7' alloy, but this was the result of the joint research and development of Anthony and several great alchemists of the Light and Magic Industry. So although the two sides are close allies, Anthony has no right to reveal the full recipe to him.
And when Li Mochen walked out of the door of the magic tower wearing this 'Funeral Necklace', wearing a Light Demon No. 8 armor, holding the 'Sky Scepter', and wearing the 'Strong God Ring' on his fingers, he found that the 'Enemy of Death' Thomson Beo was already waiting here.
As soon as Li Mochen appeared, he looked at him fixedly.
"Are you sure you want to do this, right? Mr. Willtenstein, Jr., the two of us going to St. Dési? I have to say, this is a very courageous idea, it is the blood capital of the secret party Fanzhuo family in the New World. ”
"Of course, I'm sure. There's no way I'm going to pay a deposit of 500 million in advance for an idea that hasn't been decided, can I?"
Li Mochen's expression was indifferent and he asked, "Or are you scared?"
"Scared?
Thomson Beo clasped his hands to his chest and laughed, "They don't want to kill me because they think my blood stinks! ”
"If I were them, then I would have caught you and sealed you in a coffin for hundreds of years. ”
Li Mochen's words made Thomson Beo's face stiffen obviously. Li Mochen just didn't see it, so he made a move and summoned his natal spirit pet little dragon vein,
"It's a good way to deal with you, isn't it? So, Mr. Beau, if you decide to abandon this mission, I can understand it myself, as long as you return the deposit. ”
"Why? Why should I give up the employment fee with a deposit totaling 2 billion gold dong? ”
Thomson Beo glanced sideways at the scepter in Li Mochen's hand, and regained a little confidence: "If the situation is not right, you will use it to bring us out, right?"
"It depends, as an employer, it's up to you to keep me safe, not the other way around. ”
"Okay, I just need you to apply the 'Void' divine power of the 'Sky Scepter' to me. But Mr. Willtenstein, Jr., I have heard that your men are now at war with the National Association of Progressives, and that they are attacking from three directions at the same time?
"Your message is behind schedule, Mr. Beyo. These three battles are over, and they don't have the confidence to fight me, do they?"
Li Mochen thought to himself, this guy was really as long-winded as the rumors.
At this time, his mind moved slightly, and he had already controlled the 'dragon vein' under his feet to break through the spatial barrier and slide towards the astral void.
Thomson Beo also had the cheekiness to stand on the back of the dragon vein, which made the little fire dragon very unhappy, and after twisting several times, he could not get rid of Thomson Beo, so he could only let it go.
It is mainly worried that it will writhe too much and cause discomfort to the owner.
Li Mochen knew that no matter how hard the little dragon vein tried, it was impossible to get rid of Thomson Beau. This guy's vitality and life divine power, as well as his sword skills, are extremely powerful, but he also has a good void ability, and he is a part-time 'void warlock'.
It is not as good as the 'Void Night King' Delphinia and the 'Astral Agent' who died in his hands, but it is also beyond the level of most demigods, and has a very outstanding teleportation ability, even surpassing the small dragon vein in this regard. The latter is to join forces with him in order to possess the Void ability, which is almost on par with the 'Void Night King'.
After about forty minutes, they opened the spatial barrier again and entered the main material realm.
The blood capital of the Van Zhuo family, 'St. Desi', is located in Washington State on the west coast of America, 17,000 kilometers from Atlanta.
If they were to control the Destiny Land Magic Tower to get there, it would take them at least a day or two to arrive. But if it was just the two of them and one dragon, it would be much faster, and with the current ability of the dragon vein, forty minutes would be enough.
This is still the case when Li Mochen deliberately suppressed it and did not let the little dragon vein go all out. If you don't take into account the loss of mana, fifteen minutes is enough.
At this time, Li Mochen was almost annoyed by Thomson Beau. This guy tirelessly whispered in his ears on the way, even if Li Mochen closed his hearing, it was useless. Thomson Beo has mastered the method of soul communication, and can use his own mind to pour all kinds of thoughts into him, which is even more troublesome than before he closed his hearing.
When the two communicated with their voices, Thomson Beo still said one sentence at a time, but after this one switched to soul communication, he was able to bombard hundreds of different thoughts at the same time, making people's scalps tingle.
It is impossible for Li Mochen to completely shield his six senses, which is a very dangerous behavior in the astral boundary, and it is also easy to be attacked by strong people.
"This is St. Desi?"
After entering the main material realm, the two of them stood at an altitude of 20,000 meters, looking down in the direction of their south.
On the surface, Sandesi is just a most ordinary town, with a population of only about 20,000, and the atmosphere is peaceful, tranquil and laid-back, not unlike most small towns in America.
However, this is the original base of the Fanzhuo family of the Blood Clan, in America. Nearly seventy percent of the upper vampires of the Esoteric Vanda clan are gathered here, and they observe the six commandments of the Esoteric Party, 'Possession', 'Descendant', 'Duty', 'Respect' and 'Murder', coexisting with some of the humans in this town, and have been hidden in the human society of America to this day.
"See?"
Thomson Beo pointed down: "Underneath those hills, there are all vampire tombs. This town looks ordinary, but the surrounding array of magical energy is mythical. I've heard that in the early years, the CIA was trying to arrest a member of the Van Zhuo family who had committed murder, but he was kept out of the town. Until these blood clans cared about the social impact and took the initiative to hand over that guy. And now, we're ready to kick it to the iron plate. ”
At this moment, his expression was slightly grim: "Look! the old fellows have noticed, and they are waking up. ”
