Old Stark was silent.

Anton Vanke looked at him directly for a moment, and finally tore up the list in his hand, and said angrily: "Howard Stark, you hypocrite, thief! ”

"Bang!" Then he turned and walked away, slamming the office door hard.

Night.

Anton Vanke sat alone in the bar and poured himself wine, his unkempt appearance, lost expression and the smell of alcohol made him look more like a homeless man.

"Give me another bottle!" He spoke to the bartender, his gruff voice and thick Russian accent attracting many unfriendly glances.

"Sir, you've drunk so much, can you settle the bill first?" The bartender was skeptical that the homeless looking guy would be able to pay the bill.

Anton Vanke muttered something vaguely, but was ready to pay for the bill.

However, what he didn't expect was that his wallet had disappeared at some point, maybe it was lost in the middle of the road, maybe it was stolen by some thief, and he didn't have the money to pay the bill now.

The lost wallet sobered up Anton Vanke a lot: "I'm sorry...... I seem to have lost my wallet. ”

"What?" The bartender's tone suddenly became unkind.

Anton Vanke hurriedly said: "I work for Stark Industries, and I must have paid you, but now my wallet is really gone." ”

"I think he's a bum!" Someone said something.

"I still fled from the Soviet Union, and listening to his Soviet accent, I was really afraid that he would suddenly shout 'Ula'."

"Poor fellow, he's probably tasted so much wine for the first time! Ha ha! ”

The bartender grabbed Anton Vanke by the collar: "Do you have any money?" ”

Anton Vanke was thin and had been in the laboratory for many years, typical of being powerless, and he was suddenly a little panicked when he was grabbed by the collar, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Fortunately, at this moment, a man in black came over, relieved him, and said in extremely standard English: "How much is his wine money on my head?" ”

"Nine dollars and fifteen cents."

The man in black settled the bill for Anton Vanke and left the bar with him.

"Thank you." Anton Vanke sat on the ground gasping for breath, the alcohol surging in his blood making him feel uncomfortable.

"You're Anton Vanke?" The man in black asked.

Anton Vanke was surprised: "You know me? ”

The man in black smiled slightly: "I not only know you, but I also know that you are the true founder of the Ark reactor, the most outstanding physicist and engineer, Howard Stark is not worth mentioning in front of you." ”

When Anton Vanke heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart: "Thank you......"

The man in black was obviously very good at communicating with people, and after a moment of conversation, the two gradually narrowed the distance, talking casually like old friends.

"Vanke, do you still want to stay in Stark Corporation, that place that doesn't respect you at all." He said suddenly.

Anton Vanke was silent when he heard this, and he was speechless for a long time.

The man in black continued, "If you want, I can connect you with people who need your talents beyond mortals. ”

"Who?"

"People from abroad." The man in black only said so much, but the amount of information conveyed was not small, which made Anton Vanke's expression change.

Many of Stark Industries' projects are closely related to U.S. national defense, at least they also involve sophisticated technologies with strict external restrictions, and as a core technician involved in the Ark reactor, once he has private contact with foreign countries, he will inevitably be suspected of being a traitor and a spy.

However, the recent encounter with Stark Industries has also made him feel great resentment and unwillingness, and he has indeed had enough.

This is not the first time Anton Vanke has been a traitor, and the most complex psychological changes have already been experienced.

Once born and twice ripe, so in the end, this rebellion was also logical.

However, betraying the Soviet Union and then betraying the United States is obviously a foolish decision.

In the future, this stupid decision caused Anton Vanke to be unable to enter any country for a long time, tossing and turning, and being displaced.

It was not until the collapse of the Soviet Union that he was finally able to return to his hometown in Russia and live the second half of his destitute life in the company of his son Ivan Vanke......

……

Experience space, in the testing ground of the Silver Northern Expeditionary Army.

Behind Rovi, wings of light flickered, flickering and moving in the air above the proving grounds, dodging Tirio Fortin's attacks.

With the unique shape of the Holy Shield Technique, the invincible Old Ferding repeatedly waved his Ash Messenger, and one after another huge holy light vented out from the blade, drawing a staggered wave of holy light in the sky.

Despite having challenged many times, Luo Wei still felt thrilled in the face of these golden waves of holy light.

As long as you are struck by these lights, the challenge will have to start all over again, and it will be quite demanding.

While dodging Ferdin's attack, Rowe watched the time.

Fifty-six seconds, fifty-seven seconds, fifty-eight seconds, fifty-nine seconds......

One second left!

Rowe was about to smile, but at that moment, Tirio Ferding suddenly shouted, "Supreme Light—drink! ”

Before the words fell, Lafayette jumped straight to Luo Wei, and the sharp edge of the Ash Messenger appeared in front of him almost instantly!

Wipe!

At the last moment, Luo Wei hurriedly stretched out the shield of holy light, and then the ash messenger slashed the shield.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the shield of light collapsed and dissipated, and Luo Wei was smashed into the ground by the huge impact, and the severe pain in his body made him almost unable to get up.

Was this a success or a failure?

He gasped and rose from the pit in the ground and looked at Tirio Fording not far away.

"You've passed the trial, knight." Tirio Fording looked at him with a pleased smile before handing over to the Ember Bringer, "Now that it's yours, I believe you will carry out the will of the Light and become a qualified Paladin leader." ”

Luo Wei took the Ash Messenger with some excitement, and as soon as he touched it, the Ash Messenger flashed into the holy covenant in his palm, and the holy covenant had a lot more content.

【Forging Recipe: Ember Bringer】

[Item Level: Level 10]

[Main Materials: Sanctified essentia ingots, Eternal Holy Light Crystals, Leader's Will]

[Description: Sword of the Paladin Leader!] 】

Luo Wei carefully looked at the material requirements of the forging drawings and fell into thought.

Among the three materials, the simplest is the Will of the Leader, which refers to the [Glyph: Will of the Leader], and after the successful challenge to Fordin, this thing has appeared in the Holy Covenant.

The Eternal Light Crystal is a type of Holy Light Condensation, which needs to be created through the Holy Light Technique, and after learning the Holy Light Condensation, this is basically a matter of time.

Sanctifying essentia ingots begins with a essentia ingot, a top-level alloy consisting of an augen and essentia casting block, which is then sanctified.

Aojin's substitute in this world is Uru, and the substitute for essentia casting blocks is vibranium, it seems that Luo Wei has all the materials, as long as Ulu and vibranium are fused and infused with holy light, the powerful sanctification essentia ingot will be in hand.

However, the drawings are marked with a sentence "It is necessary to accurately proportione the substitutes of Ogin and essentia casting blocks in order to synthesize essentia ingots".

This seemed to illustrate the greatest difficulty in crafting the Ember Bringer, the precise ratio between Uru metal and vibranium, which made Rowe frown.

In addition to the Ashbringer's forging blueprints, there are three other items that appear in the Holy Pact.

One of them is the glyph of the leader's will, and the other two are the Lich King's Book of Experiences and Tirio Fordin's friendship.

Rowe looked at Fordin's friendship.

[Tirio Fordin's Friendship: When challenging a target at level 9 or above, you can summon Tirio Fording (Ashless Brillegate) to assist in the battle...... When challenging the Lich King, Tirio Fording automatically appears. 】
