Section 361 Ball
The next morning, Catherine sent someone to deliver the supplies negotiated yesterday to the Deer Hunter Hotel.
Seeing the moon canthus counted and received the things. Among them, the most expensive are the two small psionic shield activators, which cost 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins for the craftsman-level ones, and the master-level and master-level are even more valuable. Yang Zhiyong had worn this kind of item before, so that he could block Chen Xing's deliberate killing blow.
Among the two shield activators, the master level is the men's belt buckle type, and the master level is the water drop pendant type. Worn on the body and connected to the black watch, it can automatically activate in times of danger to block one or more attacks that do not exceed the strength of the shield.
The most expensive part of the shield activator is the "Energy Crystal", and its crafting process is the core monopoly technology of the Supreme God Cult, which is very mysterious. Usually the strong man above the Great Town Guard level is infused with psionic energy, and then activates the runic circuit through an electronic device to activate the shield.
Due to the problem of the excitation mechanism, or to reflect the differences between different grades of products, a person can only wear one, otherwise the simultaneous stimulation will not only be wasted, but also hedged against each other, resulting in negative effects.
In general, the skill simulated by the Shield Activator is the "Celestial Shield". The Celestial Shield is an advanced skill of the Psionic Shield, which can be learned when the Psionic Shield reaches lv3. Compared to the latter, the defense capability is more powerful.
For those who have not learned defensive skills, the shield activator is undoubtedly a life-saving artifact, and can play a decisive role in critical moments.
Chen Xing untied the belt, replaced it with a belt buckle, and activated the switch hidden inside.
[Found an unbound device "M7033 Psionic Shield Activator", is it connected?] ]
Chen Xing typed "yes", and a few lines of small green words rolled up.
[Connecting......]
[The connection is successful, is it binding?] ]
Chen Xing typed "yes" again.
[The device is bound successfully, and third parties will not be able to connect and use the device unless the device is unlocked in the settings options]
[The M7033 Psionic Shield Activator has been activated, and can be manually turned off, or automatically turned off when it is within 30 cm of the body.]
The shield activator determines the degree of danger and activates the shield independently, making it extremely easy to use, so it is very popular with gate valve families and wealthy merchants. But where the descendants of the family are valued, one will be more or less configured.
Buckle the belt buckle, Chen Xing picked up the pendant and looked at it for a while, then threw it to the moon canglian next to him. Everything she fought for, and this pendant was a reward for her. Seeing that Yuecanglia returned it, the reason was very simple - she didn't need it.
Chen Xing had no choice but to throw it into the storage space as a backup.
In addition, there are two items of great value, one is a craftsman-level magic power short stick knife, and the other is a craftsman-level magic energy two-handed sword.
The short stick knife is about sixty centimeters long, the knife and stick are dual-purpose, the stick with a sheath, unscrewed is a knife, the surface is covered with fine textures, Chen Xing holds the handle of the knife, slightly infused with spiritual energy, and the blade is covered with a layer of green. Learning "psionic weapons" can increase power, but you can barely use them without learning them.
The two-handed sword is one meter three long, Chen Xing tried it with both hands, and it was quite easy, but it was a little heavier. After trying it out, he casually put it in the storage space. With a mirror doppelganger in place, the more weapons the better.
Next, there were various equipment and potions, Chen Xing checked them one by one, and then put them in the storage space. In this way, the chances of winning against Wei Qinghai are one point greater. Although he knew very well in his heart that the Silver Claw Prince, who had been pampered since he was a child and lacked actual combat, could not be his opponent, just his combat experience alone could make the other party drink a good pot, not to mention that he also had a trio of the same level of killing weapons.
He wouldn't have agreed to Catherine's proposal without being absolutely sure, even if he wanted to make it so bad. But it's definitely not wrong to be careful about sailing the ship of 10,000 years and be more prepared.
"The ball at the Marquis of Edwin Heslett will be held tomorrow evening at seven o'clock." Seeing Yuecanglian, she glanced at Chen Xing and said expressionlessly, "It's still too late to leave now." ”
"Jianyue-san, you seem to be underestimating your master a little." Chen Xing smiled lightly and said.
"Please forgive me for being blunt......" Seeing Yuecanlian's serious face, "I don't want to give my master a funeral." ”
"Tell me why?" Chen Xing leaned back on the sofa and spread his hands and said.
"I believe that the master has the ability to defeat Wei Qinghai. He puts too much energy into torturing women, his strength is inferior to the average town guard, and for the sake of the face of the Silverclaw Principality, they can't send a master assassin after you issue a duel. But afterwards, I wondered how the master was prepared to face the wrath of the Marquis of Begonia. She bowed, "With all due respect, it will be no more difficult for a Duchy Lord to deal with a baron than it is to pinch an ant to death." ”
"Well, you have a point." Chen Xing nodded, and then asked, "Where is this?" ”
"Ice Blue City, the capital of the kingdom and the center of power." See Yuecanlian replied.
"So, who is the most powerful person here?" Chen Xing asked again.
"Old King Maran XXII." "Who else?" "Third Princess, Trilith." "Which faction is Wei Haitang in?" "Old King." "How is Trilith compared to the old king?" "Ruthless and strong."
"Isn't that what it is?" Chen Xing asked rhetorically.
Seeing Yue, Canglian fell into deep thought. After a long time, he bowed deeply to Chen Xing, "The master's heart is bright, it's me who is too worried." ”
In Ice Blue City, Wei Haitang must walk on thin ice and keep a low profile in everything. Otherwise, if Trilith catches the sore foot, she will definitely take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.
In the short term, Chen Xing has no intention of leaving Ice Blue City, and he still wants to fight for the territory of Orchid Town here. And back in the Red Dragon Principality, with Aliya in charge, Wei Haitang didn't dare to attack easily. Elsewhere, Black Feather couldn't find an excuse to attack Wei Haitang.
Maybe the Northern Alliance will raise troops in advance and directly destroy the Silver Claw.
At seven o'clock the next evening, the winery of the Marquis of Edwin Heslett was brightly lit and full of people. The band plays the saxophone and the accordion, and the melodious music accompanies the dance floor, which is lively and elegant.
Champagne glasses are piled up in stacks, bubbles slowly rising in the golden liquor, and beautiful fireworks are streaked across the glasses.
Chen Xing walked into the venue with Lao K and three maids. Lao K stood on the left, half a step behind, and saw Yue Canglian standing on the right, followed by Ye Qian and Li Mei. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the attendant at the door.
"Sir, please show me your invitation, thank you."
"This is the master of my family, the newly promoted Baron Chen Xing." Old K introduced.
"Allow me to confirm your identity and inform the butler." The squire saluted.
Chen Xing made a gesture of "please", and the attendant raised the black watch to scan it, and then used the walkie-talkie to inform the housekeeper. Edwin was a generous, old-fashioned aristocrat who would throw balls and turn them down. Of course, the identity of the participants must be nobles.
Chen Xing was soon officially invited and walked into the venue under the leadership of his attendants.
Set in the garden in front of the house, men and women in evening dresses danced on the edge of the fountain, their colourful dresses resembling blooming flowers.
Looking upwards, the long, arched windows are brightly lit, and the small, beautifully carved balconies are filled with guests, who occasionally wave to those below.
The small nobles danced in the field, and the big nobles watched from the wall. This is a tradition that has been in the red world for thousands of years. The ball was the most common social occasion in aristocratic circles, where the minor nobles made acquaintances with each other and the big nobles sought out and recruited vassals.
If you look closely, you will see a faint mist on the owner's balcony in the best position directly in front of the fountain. Whenever a firework explodes in the air, the instantaneous light illuminates the figure in the fog. Graceful and graceful, dreamy, reverie, can't help but give birth to thoughts.
"It's so boring~" A lazy sigh sounded in the fog, "It's all coming and going, isn't there a little new thing?" There was a bit of complaint in his voice, "You let me come out to breathe, and as a result, I'm even more stuffy now." ”
"You can go down and dance, Your Majesty is sure that the whole Ice Blue City will be crazy about your beauty and dancing." Another voice sounded, male, slightly old.
"Come on, even when I'm younger, I don't like to go to this kind of ball." The voice in the fog said.
"Yes, since you were a child, you loved swords, you loved adventures, you loved conquering everything you saw." The old voice chimed in.
"Scratching one's head and twisting one's body in front of a man is just a means for the weak to attract the strong." The voice in the fog paused for half a second, "Do you think that in this universe, where the sun can shine, what other man is worthy of me to do?" ”
"In terms of force, my legions sweep the world, and in terms of power and conspiracy, my followers are as numerous as the stars. Dare to ask who can compete with me in this world! There was an unspeakable conceit in his voice.
"My Queen, not all battlefields are contested with swords and scheming. Maybe in some places, you're still a newbie. ”
"Where?" His voice was full of doubt.
"The battlefield of love." The old voice said.
"Hehehe, why do you even think that I have to find a man to live." The voice became muffled, full of danger, as if the air around him had dropped a few degrees in an instant.
"The queen is angry, and what her ministers say is human nature. Even if it is the queen of the mountain, there will be her true son. The old voice persuaded, "Your Majesty believes that such a person exists, but it has not yet appeared in your sight. ”
After a moment of silence, the female voice in the fog sounded again, "Then what do you think, when will he appear?" ”
"In the near future."
"Well, if this day happens......" the voice became languid, "please don't forget to remind me to bring a knife." I would make him understand that there is not much difference between a man and a woman. ”
"Yes, my Queen."
The voices on the balcony chatted without a word. Not far from them, a young, richly dressed man was holding a wine glass and chatting with the people around him.
"If I were the chairman of the council, I would have abolished the town guard promotion system a long time ago. Look at the people of these new nobles, scoundrels, scoundrels, thieves, bandits, liars, murderers, all kinds of evil. Relying on crime to collect money, buy evolution potions, as long as you can climb to the town guard level, you will immediately transform yourself and live in a corner with us. ”
"The country that our ancestors worked so hard to build is not for this group of criminals!"
"Prince Silverpaw said it well!" "Get those filthy rats out of the aristocratic circle!" "Why did they become nobles, morally corrupt, and badly behaved, and only worthy to sweep the streets!" The noble young masters were indignant and expressed their support one after another.
Wei Qinghai took a sip of champagne and said, "Just a few days ago, I met a new mercenary nobleman......"
"Oh my God, it's a mercenary!" "What a dirty profession, I can seem to smell them." "Let me marry a mercenary, I'd rather die." The aristocratic ladies were talking.
"Do you know, he actually fell in love with the Moon Canglian!" Wei Qinghai made an exaggerated expression, then his face sank, and he scolded, "Don't pee and look in the mirror, what kind of person is you?" Even I didn't dare to speak easily, and he dared to hope for this toad, which really made people laugh off their big teeth. ”
His language was vicious, as if the other party had done something terribly wrong. He is the third prince of the Silverclaw Principality, his status is transcendent, above all living beings, who is not respectful to him from childhood to adulthood?
This nouveau riche who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead dares to rob a woman with him. Although he robbed the other party's maid that night, tortured him all night, and finally cut it into pieces, he still couldn't get rid of his hatred. He wants to use his power and status to crush the other party into powder, so that the other party can thoroughly understand the gap between the big nobles and the small nobles.
"Hahaha, what a whims!" "There is no shortage of toads in this world who want to eat swan meat." "Should we call him brave or ignorant?"
The young masters and young ladies were joking, but at this moment, an abrupt voice sounded from behind.
"Are you talking about me?"
The scene fell silent instantly, and everyone turned their heads in unison to look at the owner of the voice. I saw a young man in white clothes and white pants pacing towards him, followed by the butler and three maids. The butler was tall and strong, with a serious face and a calm temperament. And the maid at the head is the most dazzling, with a tall posture and a beautiful face, which makes people shine.
When he saw Chen Xing, the corners of Wei Qinghai's mouth curled slightly, revealing a mocking expression. But in a blink of an eye, he found the moon canglian behind Chen Xing, and suddenly his pupils dilated rapidly, and his smile froze on his face, which was gradually replaced by shock and incredulity.
A court maid who has not signed a contract will not appear in public, let alone follow a male nobleman. The answer is imminent, but it is difficult to accept.
For a while, Wei Qinghai was like a fish in his throat, and his whole face turned white.
