The hourglass began to time, Li Shaoyang swiped his fingers across a row of cups, then picked up the middle one, and smiled at Fiona: "I have chosen ......"

The whole selection process took less than 2 seconds, and Fiona froze: "You, can you be serious, I'm going to hand over the secret dynasty that has been inherited for thirty-nine centuries to you......"

The simple and simple wooden cups rotated in Li Shaoyang's palm, and his identification skills identified the authenticity of these cups in an instant.

The information in his hand is very complete, and it is definitely the legendary Holy Grail.

Item Name: Eternal Divine Magic Furnace.

Attributes: Immortal products.

Non-upgradeable, treasures from the Exotic Protoss.

Ability Analysis: A treasure on par with the Taishang Bagua Furnace, although it is an immortal product, it can provide eternal magic and have a certain consciousness that can respond to the wishes of mortals, but it requires a certain amount of energy primordial stones to activate.

Although the name is not called the Holy Grail, it is an immortal artifact, a treasure second only to the divine artifact, and the ability is so powerful that it not only has the magical energy of a perpetual motion machine, but also can respond to the wishes of mortals and have self-awareness.

Except for this cup, the other seven cups were identified as garbage.

Li Shaoyang saw that Fiona was still in a daze, and couldn't help but understand: "After doing it for a long time, you don't know which one is real, and it's still serious there." ”

Fiona's rare face turned red, and she said stubbornly: "I don't know...... But I know you're right. ”

When she said this, she gently took off her earrings, carefully broke the corner of the earrings, and suddenly rolled out a spar smaller than a sesame seed.

Fiona trembled, holding it carefully, but said proudly to Li Shaoyang: "This is what God left us Freemasonry, the power of the Holy Spirit, with the power of the Holy Spirit, we can call the Holy Grail, follow its instructions, and we can get the power of God." ”

Li Shaoyang glanced at the small spar that he couldn't see, and was speechless for a moment, this is the golden crystal rough stone. I have a lot of them.

"The Power of the Holy Spirit...... That's it, is it enough?" Li Shaoyang couldn't help but teasing.

Fiona snorted: "Take your Holy Grail, this is a sacred and serious moment, the power of these Holy Spirits is not much, but it is enough to determine whether the Holy Grail is really enough." ”

……

This spar fell into the wooden holy grail, Li Shaoyang clearly felt the "hunger" of the holy grail absorbing the energy of this idea, and then reacted - with this cup as the center, a divine light visible to the naked eye radiated out, and when this light brushed over those dead people, you could even see the "soul" floating out of those people......

Although Li Shaoyang knew very well that the so-called soul was actually a visual error, but it was just the electromagnetic reaction of the human body caused by the electromagnetic waves of the Holy Grail, he also had to admit that the feeling of being shrouded in divine light was indeed very good, very godly, and very stylish.

Fiona was already with tears in her eyes at this time, she looked up at the man, the man holding the Holy Grail, and bowed respectfully, with the most sincere attitude and the most reverent mood, knelt on the ground: "That's right, you are my 'King Arthur', you are the master of the Holy Grail, the Son sought by the Freemasons, I, Aldo. Fiona, I will swear an oath to you in the name of your ancestors......"

Although this scene is a bit old-fashioned, after all, the one who knelt below and swore allegiance was a peerless beauty, and she was a Spanish duke, the daughter of a European royal family, how to say it, it also made Li Shaoyang feel great satisfaction.

The most important thing is that all the power of Freemasonry is now in the hands of this woman.

Li Shaoyang accepted Fiona's allegiance, and when she got up, he put away the Holy Grail and asked, "What exactly is the 'Masonic Brain' you got from Master Moses?" ”

Fiona took out the six-pointed star-shaped chip necklace: "Well, I'll show you this." ”

She raised the necklace in her hand, gently turned the mechanism at the bottom, and shot out a few pillars of light from the hexagonal corner of the chip, and then the 3D virtual imaging technology that Li Shaoyang was very familiar with appeared, and various three-dimensional data and materials appeared from this chain. It's like a virtual world.

Fiona turned the virtual 3D video: "It records all the members of the Freemasonry, a total of three million full members, and the business they are responsible for...... There are also various businesses, resources and organizations all over the world......"

Li Shaoyang took a closer look, and suddenly saw a folder marked "Extra Armament", and after clicking on it, the names of many famous mercenaries appeared, and the most conspicuous thing was the small file of "Borderlands" under this folder.

"Even the borderlands are Freemasons...... Li Shaoyang sighed, "I thought they were from the Atlantic Alliance." ”

Thinking that most of his funds in the early stage came from the international black market of Borderlands, Li Shaoyang couldn't help but feel that the plot was so coincidental.

He reached out and clicked on the Borderlands file, which popped up with the address of the Borderlands website server, the password of the most privileged administrator account, the names of the webmaster and other responsible persons, and other details such as the business accounts of the Borderlands.

It's just perfect, with this necklace chip, to be exact, it's a pocket-sized supercomputer...... The entire resources of Freemasonry are in his hands, and it is no wonder that Master Moses called him the "brains of Freemasonry".

Fiona gently gave him Master Moses' ring and placed it on his finger, a black two-headed dragon, plus the silver number 33. This represents the hallmark of the Chief Master of Freemasonry.

"Freemasons recognize rings and don't recognize people." As the personal knight of the new chief master, Fioan gently reminded Li Shaoyang.

Li Shaoyang disagreed: "In this situation, what should those people do if they don't recognize me?" ”

Fiona pursed her lips and smiled: "In the past, Freemasonry controlled its subordinates through tight organizational ties and loyal beliefs, but now, those are not needed, you have a more persuasive mark than anyone else." ”

She said, pointing to the Holy Grail, "This treasure is in your hands, how can all the believers, all the Freemasons, rebel against you." ”

Li Shaoyang felt that it made sense.

They walked out of Madison Garden Plaza, it was early in the morning, another day had passed, and New York had ushered in the fifth day after contracting the virus......

The whole of New York is still brightly lit, and those infected have lost the ability to leave New York and escape, they are tormented by high fevers, so they need the comfort of light even more.

Fiona looked at the city and shook her head: "We should hurry up and leave, we can't get stuck here......"

As soon as she said this, the whole world suddenly went dark......

At this moment, the entire city of New York lost power. First the power supply, then the network signal, then the radio and television signals......

By daybreak, the streets and alleys of New York City were filled with wriggling crowds.

The power and internet outages in New York are absolutely artificially controlled, and they are emergency measures under the control of the government, so many New Yorkers have understood that they have been abandoned by the government, by the United States, and by the president......

Fiona and Li Shaoyang are now standing on the spire of the newly built World Trade Center One Building, looking down at the crowd below, they are unable to move and have a high fever all over their bodies, but they can still feel the crisis, and they are subconsciously picking up work in groups, preparing to leave the city on foot.

The buzzing sound sounded, and the signal suddenly jumped on the projection billboards of all the buildings in New York, all the mobile phones, and all the outdoor televisions......

These special public platforms first restored the power supply, and then the current female president of the United States, Mayer, appeared on the screen. Dewey Ford's serious look.

As the second female president in the history of the United States, she has just taken over the position of the first female president Hillary Clinton for less than two years, and she did not expect to encounter the biggest crisis in the history of the United States and even mankind.

"Dear New York......" Tears were already in the eyes of President Mayer, who said in a trembling voice: "I will have to regret to announce that the rescue plan has failed......"

In the picture behind President Mayer, there is a situation where the Atlantic Fleet of the United States is completely wiped out on the sea, but there is no shadow or image of the giant mecha.

"The Second Fleet was all killed, and Admiral Edward was killed on the battlefield...... At present, in order to defend other lands, we are no longer able to spare any arms and forces to rescue you, which is a tragic but forced choice. President Mayer's voice calmed down: "The whole world is praying for New York, and we are trying to find a way to deal with extraterrestrial life. Now ......"

The female president on TV was silent for dozens of seconds before continuing: "I declare the scope of the lockdown zone in New York ......"

Li Shaoyang stood on the top floor of the World Trade Center, his feet were shaking, the huge explosion came from the west, the three bridges from New York to New Jersey were blown up by missiles at the same time, and the dust on the banks of the Hudson River was flying and obscuring the sky.

The dividing line between New Jersey and New York was used as the first dividing strip. The Sixth Fleet of the United States fully deployed this isolation belt.

In the north, the line from Yanks to Mount Vernon all the way to New Rochelle was completely blockaded by the Third Army of the United States, and on this blockade line was covered with the most powerful firepower of the army, and for the necessary blockade they had already begun to lay mines.

To the east, the entire west of Long Island is blocked, and the rescue team of the Fourth Fleet of the Pacific Fleet and four civil aviation transport companies will establish the last safety belt at the port of Southampton.

"All the people who are not infected, and those children, if possible...... Please arrive at Southampton Harbour in four days, where the ships will stay until four days later and they will be the last to be evacuated. ”

These were President Mayer's last words.

All of New York, abandoned Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. A world of at least three million permanent residents and two million migrants has fallen silent.

New York, once the world's largest megacity, is now an abandoned island.
