Chapter 29: Adulthood
The island of Theseus, the private island of the Balumina family, was built as a hideaway, and the magnificent white palace on the island can be seen with a telescope on the distant coastline. On this day, a dark green military helicopter landed on the tarmac of the palace, and a dignified-looking gray man walked down in a fierce cyclone.
"Welcome to General Humsarmont." Caesar, dressed in formal attire, greeted the gray man respectfully, but his voice revealed a wonderful pride. "I didn't expect you to come in person, and sure enough, your country is still not very confident about this plan......
"Superfluous etiquette doesn't need Childe Balumina." Monte waved his hand and went straight to the point. "As you said, my country attaches great importance to the plan you have proposed, which is why it has provided you with such a huge amount of money in the past three years, although the progress report has been sent every month, but I have not seen the real thing, after all, it is still not so reassuring, you came this time to confirm the results, can you please take me to see it?"
"The general is really resolute, I was going to hold a banquet for you in the Humble House......" Caesar shrugged his shoulders in a helpless look. Well, since the general is so urgent, then please come with me, the elevator is here, and what you want to see is deep underground. ”
Caesar takes Monte on an elevator to the underground of Mitheus Island, an incredible dungeon that looks like a military base from a science fiction movie has been brought to life, and there are busy technicians and heavily guarded soldiers everywhere you can't get an inch out of it without checking the Creature Pattern.
The two of them went to the deepest part of the underground level. Six alloy doors were opened in a row, and what appeared in front of them was a huge black box with a length and width of more than ten meters, the surface of the black box was engraved with runes that formed the magic array, and dark green demonic light continued to flow from the surface of the runes.
"Do I think it's necessary to fix a system like this?" Monte looked back at the slowly closing alloy door. Be cautious in your opinions. "The defense system here is even tighter than the Pentagon's, and maybe you can use that money for a more beneficial purpose."
"General, you don't know." Caesar replied in an arrogant voice. "The Pentagon is just a mortal to be on guard. But the object of defense here is far more than mortal beings. In fact, if they were aware of the existence of this thing, they would never allow it to exist, and in their eyes these so-called defense systems were probably like paper...... Even so, do you still think I'm wasting money? ”
"Let's go in and have a look." Mont nodded. Motioned for Caesar to open the black box.
"This ban can't be opened, we have to go inside." So saying, Caesar walked in first. A ripple rippled across the surface of the black box, and he disappeared inside, and Monte hesitated for a few seconds before stepping inside.
Inside the black box was an infinite pitch-black space, with only one place shimmering with a faint light. The light forms the shape of a baby, curled into the placenta, and the whole looming ethereal. But the divine power that emanated filled this dark space, and even Monte, who had no spiritual power, could feel the sense of existence that was forced to come.
"This is what your country wants," said Caesar, a man-made god...... even Caesar lowered his voice, as if he were afraid to wake up the baby. How is it? Are you sure? ”
"H......mm," Monte nodded, looking panicked in front of the overwhelming divine might, and it wasn't until Caesar took him out of the dark realm that the general let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Your country is a great country." Caesar's gaze followed his movements, but he chuckled happily. "Although it has only a short history of 200 years, it has become the most powerful country in the world under the rule of 'reason', which is really admirable."
“…… Balumina: Actually, my country has noticed very early that the laws that govern this world are not only the laws of reason, and they have been looking for solutions. Monte responded to Caesar with a wary gaze. And your plan is just one of many that we are working on, although it is indeed one of the most successful at the moment. ”
"In the past, there were many gods and goddesses who were active in this world, and although some of them have disappeared in the long river of time, there are still many of them who continue to exist in the place where they were born." Caesar raised his hand as if explaining. "Western Europe, China, India, and so on, all of which have their own ancient gods and are protected by them, but your country does not have such gods...... No, it should not be said that when your ancestors invaded the new university6, they destroyed the aborigines along with their beliefs, and left you with only a land without gods. ”
Noticing Monte's expression, Caesar stopped him with a wave of his hand. "Don't let me finish, you have built the most powerful kingdom in the world by relying on the laws of reason, but you are almost aware of your own boundaries, right? Without spiritual support, the collapse of a huge empire is only a matter of moments. ”
"That's why our country will adopt your plan and create a patron saint that belongs to us, isn't it?" Monte couldn't help but interrupt him, but Caesar laughed when he heard this. "That's right, gathering the world's most cutting-edge science and technology to create a soul in the ultimate of reason, this is something crazier than alchemy...... Therefore, the only person in this world who can help you with this is me, as the voice of the demons. ”
Caesar stroked a pitch-black ring on his right index finger, and a dark flame erupted from the ring. "So, I can pretend that I haven't seen those stupid little actions behind my back in the future, so don't do it anymore, right? Don't ask me why I can manifest that, as you know, there is not only one law that governs the world. ”
“…… I will convey your meaning to the President. Monte frowned unconsciously. But for now, at least, we're allies, so there's one thing I have to warn you about. With that, Monte took out a sealed copy of the text from his bosom and handed it to Caesar. I know who you're trying to deal with. But you don't know the forces behind him yet, right? Take a look at this picture, it's astounding......"
"Oh......," Caesar opened the envelope noncommittally, and there was only one photograph inside, which was not very clear, but barely visible. It is the appearance of a man and a woman in the background of space, and the faces of men can be vaguely distinguished. But the woman looked as if she was shrouded in a flame of light.
"This is ......," Caesar's calm expression could not help but waver after seeing the man's face, and turned to Monte to ask. What does this photo mean?
“…… A few weeks ago, China's reconnaissance satellite inexplicably fell when it passed over a certain country, and this is the photo taken by that satellite one second before it fell, and it is also the fundamental reason for China's efforts to strengthen its god-making program. Monte explained to Caesar in a heavy tone of disbelief. No doubt. The woman next to her is the ancient god who guards the land, and this man. It is the one who has been favored by the ancient gods. ”

On Yihao's side, he was troubled by the drunken Iron Wudao. Of course, it is impossible to put the uncle on the side of the road casually, but those who have experienced it know that the temper of a drunkard is difficult to predict, and during the period when Tie Wudao was moved back to the hotel, Yihao was silently punched several times. Glenched in pain.
"Good...... All right! Throwing Tie Wudao on the hotel bed, Yihao gasped and ordered Jingyu. I'll take care of Jingyu here, you go down and get some sobering medicine......"
"Sobering pills? Who wants sobering medicine! Tie Wudao sat up suddenly when he heard this. Loudly asserted with a waving fist. "Wine is the best decanting medicine! Bring wine to Lao Tzu! ”
"Uncle, uncle! Wake up it's me! I'm Yihao! Yihao hurriedly stepped forward to support Tie Wudao, who was struggling to get off the bed but crumbling, and then turned to Jingyu and asked her to hurry up and get the sobering medicine.
"Then the concubine will go......" Although she was obviously not worried about Yihao, Jingyu still left quickly, and almost at the same time as she left, Yihao's side was in trouble.
"Oh oh oh it's not ...... Yihao? When did you grow so big...... Why do you want to drink with your uncle? Good! Let's go! Saying this, Tie Wudao pulled Yihao outside with incredible strength, as if the smell of alcohol was spewing out all over his body.
"Wait, wait, uncle! If you want to drink, I'll ask the waiter to bring it to you, and ...... in the room," Yihao, the strongest martial artist in the Iron Gate in the past, who had entered a state of drunkenness, was forcibly pulled to the corridor in a defeat in the competition of strength, and walked towards the elevator.
"Bastard! Drinking in the room? Tie Wudao scolded Yihao loudly and raised his middle finger high. Of course, the wine that men want to drink is flower wine! Flower wine! …… Hiccup! Let's go to the 'Red Goblin', where the women are all first-class goods, and the uncle will give you a good lesson! ”
"Uncle, uncle......" Yihao helplessly followed Tie Wudao to the elevator. has always regarded Tie Wudao as the most respected teacher, but now the image of the strict teacher in his mind has been shattered a lot.
At this time, the elevator door opened, but there were five people in Grevor's family, and they were obviously taken aback by the scene in front of the door. "Ah, Lei Deng, this is ......," Yi Hao was about to explain, but now Lei Deng was looking at Tie Wudao with wonderful eyes, while his four wives showed strong hostility for some reason, and then looked back at Tie Wudao, whose originally drunken eyes gradually flashed with a fierce divine light......
(Hey, it can't be that coincidental...... Just as he thought so, Tie Wudao suddenly stretched out his hands, and the border of Redden made the same move. (Do you want to dry the rack?) Yihao's heart couldn't help but raise his throat, but the next moment it was much more than he expected, and the two hugged each other like brothers who had been separated for many years.
"Oh, my brother, I didn't expect to meet you here!" Raidon slapped Tie Wudao's back, tears of emotion flowed from his eyes. "When I said goodbye in Chile two years ago, I thought I would never see you again...... Ahhh ”
"Well, meeting is fate! Let's go and have a drink! "Compared with Lei Deng, who was so moved that he was in a mess, he came to Tie Wudao, but he was much calmer, and he pulled Yihao and introduced Lei Deng." This is my nephew whom I haven't seen for a long time, and I happened to be here, so the three of us went to have a good drink! ”
"Yihao? He's your nephew? Redden's eyes widened as he stared at Yihao for a few seconds before bursting out laughing. What a coincidence, he's also a good friend of mine! In order to celebrate this rare fate, the three of us will go to have a big drink today, okay, I'm in for a treat! ”
With that, Redden waved at his wives. "Corenzarena, Gunnifer, Greta, that's it, I'm going to accompany my friends tonight, so you can have fun by yourself!"
"Tell Jingyu for me that I was forced...... Not! Then before the two uncles were dragged into the elevator, Yihao only had time to say this.
……………………
The "Red Goblin" that Tie Wudao said is a fairly high-end nightclub, the decoration inside is quite luxurious, and the waiters are all golden-eyed first-class beauties, and their bodies are also quite hot, and they are dangling in sexy swimsuits in front of them, which is simply synonymous with selling gold kilns. However, since there is a rich man like Raidon by his side, there is no need to have any worries.
Tie Wudao, who seemed to be a regular customer, reported a long list of young lady's names as soon as he entered the door, and then led the two of them to the most upscale private room. It was the first time to step into this kind of *** place, Yihao, involuntarily looked a little nervous, but Lei Deng next to him was a leisurely appearance, and seemed to have a bit of a familiar taste.
"Wine! To the Volga of the fiercest kind! Let's start with two bottles! As soon as Tie Wudao came up, he was very proud to treat the hostess, but after serving two bottles of Volga, he directly took the hostess into his arms and threw a bottle to Yihao.
"We're pretty much ...... Haven't seen each other in seven years? Tie Wudao looked at Yihao with emotion, but his right hand unconsciously began to knead the hostess's plump breasts. When I left, I was still a little ghost who didn't have any hair, but I didn't expect it to grow so big...... Hehe, as an uncle, I have really been derelict in my duties in the past few years......"
"I know the uncle's hardships, and I've learned a lot from the uncle, so ......" Tie Wudao showed a lost look, Yihao subconsciously comforted him, but Tie Wudao suddenly pulled him to stand up and unscrewed the cap of Volga's bottle.
"Well said, Uncle is here today to make up for what has been missing in the past seven years! It's time to do it! ”
“…… Dry? Yihao looked at the heavy bottle of liquor in his hand with disbelief, but Tie Wudao had already poured it down......
