Chapter 23: The Explosion

"Marry me."

It is conceivable that this sentence coupled with the beautiful appearance of God's favor will be lethal to normal men, and the dissatisfaction that Chen Mo had just deliberately shown was completely frozen on his face.

Although girls have always been resistant to political marriages, any woman will feel visceral pleasure when she sees her charm piercing a man's armor, and Elizabeth is no exception, but of course it doesn't show on her face.

Chen Mo covered his face with his hands, exhaled slowly, and returned to a calm expression.

"I wonder if the two of you are joking."

The answer was swift.

"Of course not." The girl's hand knocked on the round tabletop: "Do you think we will joke in this kind of place?" ”

"Laurent's Great Library." Chen Mo gently weighed the weight of the word again: "I don't think that kind of place will be inferior to Jotunheim under the ice cellar." ”

"It's too much, sir." Alfred's voice was old and powerful, "Laurent is one of the trustees of Kassel, and most of Jotunheim's important books and documents are backed up in the large stacks, and not only that, but there are also secret dragon books and confidential research within the family, which you can borrow at will." ”

"I've been to Jotunheim, but I've written down less than 10 percent, and even that 10 percent is not something that can be measured by the word 'value,' and what you're talking to me now is much more than that." Chen Mo also put his hand on the round table, and tapped his fingers, "There will be no pie in the sky, this is the simplest truth." ”

"Not only the big library, although we will not let a person with a foreign surname become the head of Laurent's family, but as long as you become the husband of the young lady, everything in the name of the young lady will be shared with you, Laurent's estate, the precious alchemy accumulated over a hundred years, and the non-renewable alchemy raw materials, these will be available for you to use."

This is a very huge benefit, but fortunately, it is still only in words and imagination, so he did not get carried away: "All power comes with responsibility, and everything must be said." ”

The old butler looked like he wanted to say something, but Elizabeth stretched out her hand to stop him:

"There's nothing to add, I won't regret it, as long as you're brave enough to marry me."

"In that case, if Monsieur Laurent returns, the first thing he will do is probably not to purge your family of demons, but to kill his son-in-law first."

"At that time, he was also your father, how do you know that he can't bear to let his daughter be widowed at a young age?"

The girl's face was smiling, with an intriguing expression.

"I don't know what Mr. George would do, but if it were me, in the future my daughter would be married by an inexplicable man who took advantage of the danger, and I would definitely kill him." Chen Mo laughed, his smile was a little terrifying, "Kill him by any means." ”

"Inexplicable man, do you have such an evaluation of yourself?" Elizabeth also smiled, her smile was a little good-looking, "Mr. Chen Mo doesn't seem to be very confident." ”

"To tell you the truth, is it worth it for so much effort, even if it ties me to the boat?"

"Who knows if it's worth it? Maybe in the future, you will become Flamel, and the alchemy master who will not join the family for the rest of his life will serve Laurent, that sounds good, doesn't it? ”

"It sounds like you've signed some kind of sell-out clause."

"Marrying a woman is not marrying her whole life? She put her whole life in your hands, isn't the lives of two people tied together? ”

Although he couldn't show it on his face, but in his heart at this time, Chen Mo kept smiling bitterly, obviously the original purpose was to ensure that on the basis of the ownership of the ruin, he could take a little more, but now the problem is that they are not giving too little, but too much, so much that he may be pressed in place because of the weight that he can't take.

"Putting aside the matter of marrying you for the time being, we ........"

Chen Mo stopped suddenly, what was the sound getting louder and louder, it stands to reason that this entire floor has been cleared out by Wirt, no one can break into this floor without being warned, the conference room is also an absolutely quiet place, and the four walls have been soundproofed.

This dripping sound seems to come from the soles of the feet!

Looking at the soles of Chen Mo's feet, some kind of intuition like a danger prediction prompted him to retreat, and the explosion suddenly sounded, the floor was broken, and the round table made of mahogany was directly blown apart, and each piece of scattered pieces of wood was enough to take a person's life!

The age-old butler was amazed at his agility, signaling Elizabeth to back away as the noise grew louder, and at the same time blocking the girl's back, his skin turning bronze at a rapid rate, and the flying pieces of wood could only leave a light white mark on his skin after cutting through the suit.

And Chen Mo also clenched the cross hanging on his chest at the moment of the explosion, the transparent field opened, and the wood chips that attacked were all lined up, and this alchemy object containing the next generation of living spirits opened its fangs at the right time.

In the smoke of the explosion, I vaguely saw the hand wearing heat-insulating gloves on the edge of the hole in the floor, you know, in order to create a sense of spaciousness, each floor of Taoyuan is nearly five meters high from floor to ceiling, and this person's jumping ability has exceeded the world record by nearly double!

Apparently it was a half-blood.

Gattuso's killer? Chen Mo made a judgment in his heart.

The killer shot and shattered the chandelier on the ceiling, the only light source in the room that didn't use electricity, the moment he rolled out the floor, and the room went into the darkness of the invisible object.

Extinguished all light sources at the beginning of the operation? The other party clearly has the means to find a target in the dark, the Weasel? Or night vision? Whether it is words or technology, the darkness created by the other party must be something beneficial to the other party.

Chen Mo put on that strange mask again, and a ghost-like feeling appeared on him, this is just an expedient measure, reducing the sense of presence can effectively reduce the probability of being discovered, but in the case that the other party knows about your existence from the beginning and intends to look for it, the impact of the spirit of words is not great, and it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

As a hotel that provides services for half-breeds, Taoyuan's security system is excellent, and the movement of the bomb is not small, and the security force composed of half-breeds will soon discover the anomalies on this floor, and all they have to do is wait for the arrival of the security forces that may be delayed.

Apparently, the killer who made the move thought of himself as a lamb to the slaughter, who could easily bite off his neck before help arrived.

He pulled out a scimitar from his bosom, the blade covered in strange patterns, and seemed to be still pulsating at the same rate as breathing.

In the past few years, I have basically spent all my time on alchemy, and naturally I don't know how to do any knife skills.

It is true that he is a lamb to the slaughter, but some are not.

Chen Mo's golden pupils lit up, but his eyes gradually hollowed, as if he had lost consciousness, and then he put on an incomparably standard knife posture.
