The sky was slightly cloudy, the plane arrived in Moscow, Jiang Yuan and Laurent arrived at the famous Red Square, the city unfolded majestic, behind the high clouds is the golden sunset at dusk, as far as the eye can see, the surrounding slightly hazy gray, as well as the imposing church and the gilded dome on it.

Not far away, uniformed soldiers patrol back and forth in the square, and on the other side is the colorful Basilica of the Ascension, with a girl with long white and blond hair standing at the entrance of the church, as if she had just finished a visit to pass the time of an exhibition, and several luxury cars from the sixties of the last century are parked behind them.

The girl looked to be only about fourteen or fifteen years old, petite in stature, wearing a blue-gray coat and brown high-heeled boots, long white and blonde hair spread out, her skin was as white as ice and snow, and her eyes were calm and watery.

"It's okay, it's almost dark."

Laurent smiled and stepped forward to say hello, since the first veneer failure in her life, this way of greeting was prepared by her to put on hold for a long time, but fortunately, someone has always been so temperamental, and she did not feel too embarrassed.

"The two of you were able to stay in the Elizabeth Palace during my stay in Moscow, and when I came back, the Elizabeth Palace went into a state of refusal to visit, so I didn't have to worry about anyone disturbing me."

Laurent bowed his head, and then couldn't help but look sideways at someone with slightly drooping eyelids, Zero and Mescal are both large icebergs that can sink the Titanic, the difference is that the latter is more ruthless, since the other party has been in a state of fugue since he got on the special plane, it is estimated that he is experiencing those newly acquired alchemy knowledge.

And Zero's ancestors can be traced back to Elizabeth Petrovna, that is, Elizabeth I, who was the daughter of Peter the Great and Catherine I, and after the new era, part of the original palace was returned to the descendants of the Romanovs, who were able to regain residency of the palace as long as they had enough financial means to prove it and were willing to open it to visitors when they were away.

Because of the name Elizabeth and the help she had in the first place, Laurent had a pretty good impression of the little girl in front of her.

Surprisingly, Zero reached out to someone, and while the cold expression made the gesture more polite, it was a very rare occurrence.

Laurent's eyes narrowed.

Jiang Yuan's attention returned from the Divine Kingdom plan, stretched out his hand and shook the other party, and then continued to exert the concealment of his own ability to exist, and then continued to study the methods and steps of the fusion of consciousness and the fragmented world.

He covered Lu Mingfei for a period of time when he was in Shilan High School, after all, although that guy seems to be a decrepit boy, but the pocket money is really not small, it depends on who he compares with, anyway, the high school student who can book a day in an Internet café for a few years, the standard of living is definitely much better than that of himself who has just come out of his shell and has to fend for himself, but mainly because there is no danger, due to his brother's personal inclination, Lu Mingze can't do it to himself.

During the mission to monitor Chu Zihang, the holder of the Odin Mark, his identity as a pure-blooded dragon may arouse the alarm of the nanny group, and joining forces is his consistent strategy to adapt to the environment, whether it is the winery, the empire and the spell world, or even the camp of the king of the earth and the mountain, this policy is implemented very thoroughly.

Zero nodded slightly, and when the other party let go of the unknown cover, the spirit of words and the mirror pupil clearly captured the chain of words and spirits of the winter-ghost-glow-diamond realm, but now it cannot be replicated, and the other party's bloodline has ushered in a qualitative improvement compared to a few years ago, and the upper limit is unknown.

Of course, this temperament of ignoring is the most critical clue to confirm identity.

The mirror pupil is a rare non-aggressive spirit of high-risk speech, which can analyze objects and so on, and copy the speech and spirit of most dragons for use, and the limit is three generations and hybrid S-level, which belongs to special speech spirits.

"Long time no see." Zero said with a slight greeting, and then led the two of them into a special car, which had a lot of space in the stretch car, as well as a simple wine cabinet and a car refrigerator.

Laurent pondered for a moment, made sure Zero wasn't talking to him, and then asked in surprise, "Did you know each other?"

"There have been collaborations." Jiang Yuan summed it up succinctly.

"He had already shown great talent in the field before he became an alchemist, and now Mezcal's reputation is well known in the half-blood world." Zero casually found a reason.

Laurent snorted and continued to use the sand ball to exercise her control, no different from a few hours ago, doubting that she would be able to succeed in five days.

The Red Factory is not far from the Elizabeth Palace, and it will not take long for the special car to arrive, and there are afterglows of the past everywhere along the way, castle-like ancient buildings, open squares, towering monuments, and artillery-like fountains, and occasionally traces of the Romanov dynasty, such as the marble sculpture of St. George slaying the dragon, and the palace in a state of refusal to visit is closed, with two soldiers guarding the ancient building at the door.

"Miss Laurent, I have something to look for you."

After getting out of the car, Zero said, as for someone's own palace real master hospitality.

Laurent glanced sideways at someone, and when he saw the other person's head, he readily agreed, this was a good opportunity to learn about Mezcal's past.

Without the guidance of a servant, Jiang Yuan entered the palace and walked up the spiral wooden staircase, the fourth floor was extremely spacious, the ceiling was as high as a venue for a large event, famous paintings decorated the walls and corners, orange flames burned in several fireplaces around it, and the temperature continued to spread to withstand the cruel cold of Moscow after the onset of winter.

At the end of the long table in the middle, a slightly immature-looking boy sits, dressed in a crisp black suit, unhurriedly fastening his silk scarf, his golden eyes as if to illuminate the darkness in the corner, leaving no room for concealment.

"Looks like I made the right decision to come, you can really hide." Lu Mingze picked up the knife and fork and cut the steak elegantly, with precious red wine like blood in hand, and the other party also spared no effort in enjoyment.

"I was just a temporary worker." Jiang Yuan calmly pulled out a chair and sat down, "A glass of mezcal." ”

"You're satisfied." Lu Mingze snapped his fingers, and a bottle of mezcal, which had been used as a national gift, appeared on the table.

"You don't mind showing up so much now, it seems that you have nothing to fear, how about it, do you want to try." Lu Mingze sent out an invitation to fight, the other party was one of the few guys he admired and recognized, and the power and power of dragons, the existence of understanding and practice was rare even in the race, and it was more just succumbing to the innate violence.

"You can't die right now." Jiang Yuan took a sip of wine, he had the resurrection of the march of the dead once a day, as well as the state refresh of the combination of existence power and astrology, and the reversal technique that could be used at will after leaving the spell spirit, among them, because the stars of the main world have been used a lot, but there are still thirty-two, which is enough to support several death battles.

Lu Mingze: "......"

It's really hard to change your hard mouth.

"I want to know what you're here for." Lu Mingze sent the cut beef to his mouth, and somewhere here involved Lu Mingfei's endpoint, which is simply a forbidden place, which is also the reason why he came immediately after receiving the news of Zero, the other party already has the ability to disrupt the situation and plans, and there are actually not many chess players who have settled in Moscow.

According to the continuous report of the Assassin, a member of the Dark Side Monarch Council, that is, Mai Jiude, the participants who once launched the Super Soldier Project here are the Grand Master, the Secretary General and Anthony, and Zero's New Year's Eve Friend Vatutin, as the head of the plan, is currently on the verge of being cleaned up, and the "black gold swan" Su Enxi behind the Romanov family has praised it as the largest financial oligarchy in the North, but Vatutin has lost everything in the change, and as for the Romanov family, because of the relationship behind the scenes, it has not been affected much over the years.

"I need a sufficient number of leech potion samples." Jiang Yuan was not interested in the food on the long table, he just drank the wine blindly, "The gold content of such a thing as rejuvenation is very high, if the leech elixir can really do it, I look forward to the results of the combination of the principle and the universal elixir." ”

Lu Mingze smiled, obviously not believing in this reason, but the sense of danger brought by the other party is infinitely close to the first generation, under the equal dialogue, it is not easy to force him if he is unwilling to explain, at this moment it is only the spirit body that goes to the banquet, and the real body is nailed to the haven in the northern no-man's land by Ganganir's original, if there is no suitable body to exert the power of the Spirit of Words and Balances, it is difficult to pose a fatal threat to the other party with frontal combat power.

As for those weird methods, he even suspected that the guy across the long table had approached Norton in the field of alchemy, and the effect might not be satisfactory to him.

I don't know when, a detailed map of Siberia appeared on the tablecloth on the long table, Lu Mingze raised the knife and swiped it in the air, and a thin line divided the map into two halves from the upper section.

"Don't cross the line, otherwise our past friendship will be ruined, for my brother's sake, let's be safe, the secret party has reduced the scope of the White Emperor City to seven, an ambitious guy like you should be interested in the King of Bronze and Fire, I won't make trouble on the issue of the dragon bone cross when the time comes, but you have to help me do something, it won't harm your own interests, at most it's a small favor." Lu Mingze said.

"Speak." Jiang Yuan motioned to the other party to indicate the content of the transaction.

"Let my naïve brother fall into despair, he was a real monster, but he had to put away his minions and be a waste, I have a headache as a younger brother, I will arrange it specifically, you just need to stand by or secretly help at a critical time, we are not interested in the dragon bone cross."

Lu Mingze's face was a little bad when he mentioned Lu Mingfei, because he remembered the little fat man with the same name and surname as himself, as for the keel cross, they didn't need this thing, because the power and power were always in Lu Mingfei's hands, the problem was that the decrepit boy was unwilling to pick it up, even if he got the keel cross, at most he would just find a hidden place to hide it to prevent those monarchs from getting it.

The already strong monarch goes one step further and has one more usurper in the world to replace him, it must be the latter is more cost-effective, this is the relationship between the number and the ceiling, the only difference is that the person who holds the power, his former temporary worker is reckless and reluctant, it is difficult to evaluate.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”

The script about Lu Mingfei has actually been written a long time ago, and now it is just fine-tuned according to the variables, as the two S-class children of Lu Lincheng and Giovanni, the rising star who was greatly anticipated by Hilbert Jean Angers was in charge of the most elite observer of the secret party in the past, that is, Chu Zihang's father Chu Tianjiao, but there is more than one task on the S-class, and emergencies in the surrounding area will be handled by Chu Tianjiao.

Two invitations appeared on the table again, and if there was no order from the superiors to advance the time, the Kalominsk estate held a jewelry sale every year on the second Sunday of January, after which all the turnover was given to the local children's foundation, and the price of any exhibit would not be less than 100,000 dollars, and the host was Alexander Bunin.

"The meeting place for the Leech Elixir Auction is in the Kalominsk Manor, Zero will not act with a dangerous guy like you, I wish you what you want."

Lu Mingze ignored most of the remaining dinner party, and disappeared in the blink of an eye after taking off the silk scarf.

Jiang Yuan put away the invitation to the auction, drank the mezcal and then destroyed the bottle so as not to leave the alchemy element, the dinner lasted less than five minutes in total, but it was equivalent to worshipping the dock, and only by figuring out the bottom line and purpose of the two sides could there be no unnecessary conflict.

Seven days before the auction, Jiang Yuan got up and left the fourth floor of the palace, and Zero was still taking Laurent on a tour of the Elizabeth Palace, a building with the same name as Laurent.

"Mezcal?" Laurent asked out loud when she saw someone coming downstairs.

"An acquaintance." Jiang Yuan replied expressionlessly.

The two of them had already visited the bedroom, in the middle were two large golden beds, covered with huge golden-green bedspreads, this bed alone resembled the aristocratic tent of the Mongol princes, the surrounding fireplace was rising in the fireplace, the wardrobe next to it contained vacuum-packed disposable silk dressing gowns and bath towels, and the fresco on the dome depicted a certain legendary epic of the crusade against the dragon.

"Other empty rooms that meet the standards haven't been cleaned up yet, and there were dozens of tourists visiting here three hours ago, and you only gave me these hours, so I can only forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." Zero said without saying anything, the blood heir of the Romanov family is her fake identity, in fact, when she received the call, she was still hunting Su Enxi's unruly business opponents, temporarily changing her plan to directly kick in the door to kill the target and then forcibly retreat, so she barely rushed back to Moscow.

"It doesn't matter. Laurent clasped his hands together and hung down in front of him, turned his head and asked, "You won't do anything strange, will you?" ”

"Short-term pleasure is something that needs to be avoided and never advisable if it hurts the prospects for the development of the common good, and it is the gift of intelligent beings to control desires and maintain reason, of course, even if you are dumb-headed and take the initiative to invite, I will stop this short-sighted behavior, and do not let desire pollute our pure interests." Jiang Yuan said with a little admonition that the other party provides more value in cooperation than providing pleasure, and he can't accept in-depth communication with a half-bald domestic cat.

Laurent: "......"

How could she hear a sense of disgust.

"There's a tool in the bedside locker, so you can just keep it out of the hallway."

Zero prepared for the worst-case scenario, and then took the two on a tour of the study and ballroom, where the candles of the Elizabeth Palace were lit day and night, and guests tended to feast at dusk and leave until dawn, and the next day, singing and dancing extravagantly.

The dance hall was located on the first floor, Jiang Yuan looked around and asked directly: "Can you move all the sundries out, we need a training ground." ”

"Yes, but please reduce the damage to the artifacts, the paintings on the walls are likely to be unique, I don't know the specifics, many of them are purchased in batches at auction." Zero replied that the maintenance of the Elizabeth House was the responsibility of someone else, and that she was only responsible for living and maintaining the status of the Romanov family.

After obtaining permission, the housekeeper and the cleaning team came to the scene, carefully dismantled the mural and moved it into the storage room, and the expensive tables and chairs were also carried away, and the venue for a large dance party was the size of most of a football field.

The heavy red lacquered wooden door closed, and there were only two borrowed guests left in the dance hall, Jiang Yuan threw the black clothes he didn't know where to get them to Laurent, and said: "Change into training clothes, and then attack me, exert all your strength, if you can hurt me, you can give different degrees of rewards depending on the situation, and the guarantee is the bloodline stabilization plan mentioned earlier." ”

The reward mechanism can stimulate the subjective initiative of individuals, widely used in all walks of life, practice has proved that this method is very effective, since the other party promised to become an S-level, then someone did not intend to fool, as for the bloodline stabilization plan, he did not have the intention of deceiving, dragon blood baptism is one of the best means to solve the degeneration of the half-blood, the combat power of the three generations of dragon puppets is not highly dependent on blood, just put a little blood to hurt the fundamental.

Lorrent suddenly became serious when he heard this, in the half-breed world, strength is naturally the most critical factor in determining status, and any behavior that can enhance strength is worthy of great attention.

She calmly took off the casual clothes on her upper body, revealing a smooth and flat abdomen, with clear lines on both sides, along the muscle veins all the way down, near the hip bone, the lower abdomen was slightly raised, and then suddenly tightened and fell, and when the gray trousers also fell to the ground, the ivory-like white legs were a little dazzling in the dim light, and after being barefoot, the cardamom-like toes were red and round, and the curves at the ankles were very three-dimensional and bony.

When wearing black clothes, a clear sense of weight emerges on the surface of the body, far beyond ordinary clothing, but the texture is unimaginably soft and comfortable, and the tight silk threads well retain the body temperature emitted, even if you go directly to the snow, you will not feel cold, the only problem is that summer may not be very friendly.

"Let's get started." Jiang Yuan said.

After Laurent finished preparing, the long blood bag that was originally tied to the two forearms suddenly burst, flowing into the palm of her hand and turning into a huge dark red scythe, she could clearly perceive that the time for the weapon to condense this time was a second or two faster than before, and the exercise of her own control began to bear fruit.

Adjusting the center of gravity, the force flowed from the waist and hips to the feet, and the moment it touched the ground, Laurent quickly rushed forward, and at the same time, the dark red scythe slashed diagonally from top to bottom, trying to force the opponent to retreat with a wider range of attacks, and then win the initiative.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan suddenly took a few steps forward, easily grasped the upper part of the scythe shaft with his right hand, and then his left leg poked out, and his right hand gently pushed to the side, Laurent was immediately tripped and fell to the ground.

Jiang Yuan got up and gently pushed the back of the knife, and the end of the blade directly hit Laurent's abdominal cavity, the severe pain made her almost unable to breathe, but the perception that had not been completely lost made her understand that the weapon had been taken off.

"The intention is obvious, the tricks are stereotyped, you probably have a very good teacher, but you can't turn the skill into instinct, learn to be beaten first, until you can keep your sanity and make an effective counterattack."
