Chapter 581: Tsunami
At the Wildenstein Building in Atlanta, Conshury Wildenstein, who was busy, was working on the papers in his hand and asked, "Diamond, I guess it's good news, right? β
He guessed that this good news must be related to Li Mochen, who had already gone to Berlin in the Old Continent. But at this time, he didn't even intend to look up.
It's just that the follow-up after this war is too onerous.
For example, the compensation for casualties, compensation for damage to private homes, further actions and crackdowns against the National Association of Progressives, negotiations with the government, and the business strategies adopted by the group and the family after the incident are all within his responsibility.
And now he not only needs to be in charge of the Wildenstein Group, but even the Rising Sun Group on Li Mochen's side needs to be taken care of.
"Good news indeed. β
Nantes Diamond, Consouley's assistant, paused at his desk: "But I'm sure you'll have a headache when you hear it." β
"Oh?"
Consciuli looked up at Nantes Diamond. He found that this person did have a smile on his face, although the smile was not strong, but it was very different from Diamond's usual steady and indifferent expression.
This made Kang Xiuli feel slightly relieved, thinking that as long as it wasn't bad news, it would be fine.
"Tell me, I think he must have taken back the Blood Crown?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. β
Nantes Diamond nodded first, then said in a cold voice, "But in addition to this, Mr. Willtenstein Jr. also killed Templar Master Bernie Madigan and Cardinal Cressy Cook. Also, he forcibly seized the Holy Lance of Longinus from the Holy See. β
Kang Xiuli really felt a headache, and he let out a groan as soon as he could, pressing the corner of his forehead. Then I subconsciously wanted to ask, how did Li Mochen do it?
The latter's ability to obtain the Blood Crown in the Old Continent, and even to retreat with his whole body, already made him very happy.
But Longinus's holy spearβthis didn't make Conshury happy, but frightened.
But then it occurred to me that instead of asking Nantes Diamond about this matter, it was better to see the details of the battle myself. He had been manned in Berlin early on, and he had been monitoring the Teutonic National Museum, which should bring back detailed information for him.
If not, Temur Hegel, the 'highest shadow' of the Teutonic Republic, is his close friend, and he will certainly be able to give him a complete picture.
So then, Conscilli pressed a button on his desk to connect with his president's office: "Betty, can you recollect the documents I signed before and send them back? β
Diamond, on the other side, said clearly: "The power of the Radiant Holy See is no longer as powerful as it was centuries ago. This is especially true in America. β
"But they are still the sect with the largest number of believers in the world. I bet that at the most tomorrow, the Holy See will call on their followers to boycott our Wildenstein clique. Even the Protestant and Orthodox Churches will help them, and they will share the same will in maintaining the glory of the Shining Lord. β
Kang Xiuli shook his head: "I only hope that the Holy See can care about the influence and not condemn Andre as an enemy heretic. β
"Unlikely!"
Diamond pondered: "I think Mr. Willtenstein Jr.'s force is no longer something that the old religion can solve. Even if they do, it's not necessarily a bad thing. β
Consciuli did not refute this view, and he dialed the phone again. It was Dela Wildenstein, who belonged to the current archdeacon of the family presbyterian church.
"I've heard the news from the Old World, haven't you? This is good news? Don't be funny, Della, the next thing is going to be troublesome. Anyway, the situation in the clan needs a little soothing from youβ"
Della Wildenstein's response was low and hoarse, but lacked calm: "Understood! I will restrain the children of the family to be honest lately and not to cause trouble." Lately we've had to shrink our heads, be turtles for a while, and have fun stealing. Yes, it's a little bit more difficult, I'll do my best. You don't know, those guys would be happy if they knew about it. Hohenstaufen has finally avenged the Holy See, and our Vice President, our Young Matriarch, is on the verge of becoming one of the most powerful gods in the world. You're right, Conshury, he's the best of Willtenstein's generation, and he's the hope of our whole clan. I'm so glad I've been on your side and supported youβ"
Having had enough of this incoherent and chattering, Conscelli hung up the phone and asked Diamond again: "So now, do you know where Andre is?"
"I should have gone to the East! At that time, there was a demigod mage, and he happened to sense his trajectory after tearing open the space. β
Diamond hesitated a little when he said this: "In this battle at the Teutonic National Museum, Mr. Wildenstein Jr. used the 'Kongtong Seal'. It was a mythical weapon created by the ancient Emperor of the East, and it was of the same level as the complete 'Longinus Holy Lance'. β
How could Kang Xiuli not know the 'Kongtong Seal', he was stunned, a flash of abruptness and thoughtfulness flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled bitterly: "Let him go, this is his business." β
He turned his attention back to the immediate situation: "If I'm not mistaken, there must be a lot of phone calls coming now, right?"
In fact, long after the war in Atlanta ended, several of his landlines and mobile phones were about to be blown out. Kang Xiuli is busy with affairs, so he can only choose to let his assistant and secretary answer, and prepare to wait for his free time before choosing one of the more important people to call back.
However, Consciuli guessed that it must not be an order of magnitude before and now.
"It's been more popular than you might think, and all the calls are always busy. I had to borrow a dozen men from the Public Relations Department to temporarily open twenty-four parts, but I don't think it was enough, because the news of Berlin would surely shake the whole mysterious world in the next hour. It's the same with the president's office of the Rising Sun Group, and half an hour ago Alyssa asked me to tell you that it would be best for you to spare a little time as soon as possible to help Mr. Willtenstein Jr. deal with it, or get him back. As for nowβ"
Diamond shrugged: "The White House just called again, this is the third time today, and I said you've been busy lately." BOSS: You're going to dry over there, right?"
Conshuli was noncommittal, and he fell into deep thought again.
At this time, in the Abraham White House, in the Oval Office, the president sitting behind the desk frowned and looked at a middle-aged woman who pushed the door in.
It was a woman in a small white suit, neat and capable, stylish and elegant - this was his new White House chief of staff, Caroline Weimar,
"It's connected, but like the previous two times, the old Willtenstein is very busy, and he is still flawless. β
"Are you too busy to take the president's call?"
Sitting in the corner, Loren Cadelen, the former White House chief of staff and current state assistant to the president, sneered.
"Time was in the aftermath of the war in Atlanta, and while it was understandable, I also sensed that he was contemptuous of the White House. β
"Mr. President, the Wildenstein family is already American, the most powerful family in the entire world, and Andre Lee Wildenstein is also one of the most powerful people today, including several main gods. Their alliance with Light & Magic is also indestructible at the moment. β
National Security Adviser Jenkerson Richard said calmly: "Mr. President, you must tolerate their arrogance, just as you tolerate Morgan and Rockefeller, and tolerate the old religion and Protestantism of light. The governance of this country requires their cooperation. β
"Like Nannett Drew of Rising Sun Media. β
Wade Stadd, director of national intelligence, gave an example: "I know the character of that woman, if the Wildenstein family had not been restrained, she would have no scruples, all the scandals of the Civic Party could be the target of this person, she didn't care about anyone now, and no one could help her." And their biochemical suitsβ"
"I know, I know, but I still find it hard to accept. β
The Grand President sat down with a sigh and spread his hands: "It's incredible, isn't it? In just one night, the Wildensteins have become one of the strongest families in America." And then, less than two hours later, you told me that Andre Lee Wildenstein had defeated the small half of the Holy See in Berlin and seized the Longinus Holy Lance, and that we had to take a proper stand, and we had to show reverence for the existence of the Wildensteins. Are you sure that what happened in Berlin is true? I feel very strange that the Holy See, with such a powerful force, actually lost to him. If this is true, then for the world, it is undoubtedly a grenade thrown into a small iron basin - "2018
"I can understand your current feelings, Mr. President, but that kind of image is not something that anyone can fake, have you seen it with your own eyes? The death of a cardinal, a Templar Master in battle is real. The snatching of the Holy Lance of Longinus in the Holy See is equally unmistakable. β
National Magician Rajia Buckley shook her head, "They are undoubtedly an important pole in this world. β
It was at this moment that there was another knock on the door of the oval office, and a well-dressed secretary pushed the door open: "Your Excellency, old Mr. Willtenstein has called back, and he has asked if you are available to answer now?" and said he was sorry. β
The president was in high spirits, and as he reached for the microphone, he gestured to the crowd in front of him that he did not intend to talk to the old Mr. Willtenstein in front of so many onlookers.
"By the way, I agreed to Richard's proposal to give the two Mr. Wildensteins the title of Honorary National Magician. Weimar, you will help me contact the party whips of the two associations later, and ask them to move forward with this matter as soon as possible. There's no time to waitβ"
Meanwhile, in Chicago, after a video conference involving three families, an elderly man closed his eyes in pain.
"Let's see if we can get in touch with the elder Willtenstein through the channels of Professor Estadine, I remember a long time ago when he owed us a little favor to the Violet family. It's time for him to reciprocate, we need peace, we need to reach an armistice with the Wildensteins as quickly as possible. He is the best person to mediate. β
"Is this too hasty? it will disgrace the name of the Violet family. β
At the bottom of the table, someone immediately objected: "The Holy See will not rest on its laurels, they will definitely plan a counterattack, this is our chance." β
"And then, let the glorious Mattiola family become pawns and soldiers of the Holy See, and fight to the death for the glory of the Lord?"
The old man sneered and asked, "That is a living god who is enough to stand alongside the king of angels and not be bound by the treaty of condominium between man and god!
In the entire conference room, there was a dead silence.
At this time, even the opponent did not want to face the current Wildenstein family head-on. The previous speeches were only out of resentment and unwillingness.
"You must accept that the family is above Violet and is an existence that we cannot compete with. You must inform the children and women of the family that they must show enough respect to the members of the Wildenstein family in all future social situations, or avoid them. β
The old man's eyes were also glowing with unwillingness and helplessness: "Inform the National Association of Progressives again, our family will withdraw from this organization." There is also the Beast Blood Warrior Project, which must also be stopped. Its stability and combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the biochemical breeding equipment of Rising Sun Pharmaceutical, the Ministry of Defense and the military have withdrawn their support for us, and the Violet family must stop the loss in time. β

And at a time when the whole of America, the whole world, was making tsunami waves over that battle in Berlin. In the ancient country of the East, on the top of Kunlun Mountain, the 'Kongtong Seal' held by Li Mochen has changed hands. This extremely powerful artifact was now held up in front of an old man with white hair and white beard by a misty spirit.
"Are you serious?
"Is there room for me to regret it now, or is my predecessor willing to give it back to me?"
Li Mochen, who stood side by side with the old man, put his hands behind his back and said sarcastically: "This is your thing, my father emphasized in a full ten sentences in his suicide note, saying that this thing must be returned to Kunlun, and it must also be in your hands." But I'm sorry, but I did something extra with the help of it before I returned it, you should have heard?"
"Pure Beginningβ"
The old man seemed to be recalling something, he sighed sadly, and then shook his head: "The First World War in Berlin shook the world, and the old man was fortunate to observe some of the details with the Kunlun Mirror, and he was really amazed at the ability of Mochen Xiaoyou." As for Xiaoyou's apology, it is completely unnecessary and does not need to be mentioned again. Although this thing is a relic of our ancestors, when it is in your hands, it is your right to use it. I just wanted to say that this object has a lot to do with it, and the vast majority of people outside of this country don't want to see this artifact return. I didn't expect you to be so grandiose and just send it over. β
"I know. β
Li Mochen's expression was very calm, his eyes were confident, and even conceited: "But I don't need to care now, I'm fearless, isn't I?" And those who can make me fearful and make me jealous will not care about the whereabouts of this thing." β
"That's true!"
The old man's only jaw was clear, and there was a bit of self-deprecation on his face. Then he flicked his sleeves slightly and summoned the Taoist boy who was standing on the side: "Inform the master, ring the nine bells, and then let him send someone to inform the capital by the way that the instrument of the town and country has been returned, and the whole world should celebrate!"
At this time, his joy and excitement were overflowing, and Li Mochen noticed that this person's hands were also trembling slightly.
Although the old man had tried his best to restrain himself, the effect was minimal.
"This instrument means too much to our dynasty. The old man is in a turbulent mood and is difficult to self-contain, so that Mochen Xiaoyou can laugh. β
The old man smiled very ashamedly, and then said with a very serious expression: "I don't know if there is any place in my Kunlun that can help Xiaoyou? β
When Li Mochen heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is what I should do." β
"That is the mission given to Li Chunchu by Kunlun, but it is not what you should do, Xiaoyou. β
The old man shook his head disappreciatively: "Little friend Mochen, since you have done this so authentically, how can you be vague about it? Now it is not more than a hundred years ago, Kunlun and this country will not let their friends and their compatriots suffer." β
He even brought out the Confucian story: "I wonder if Mochen Xiaoyou has ever heard the story of 'Zigong ransome'? The words of that Confucian sage will not damage your character if you receive compensation from the state, but if you do not receive compensation, I am afraid that no one in the country will be willing to serve the country in the future." β
Li Mochen had nothing to say, and then he asked honestly and unceremoniously: "Since this is the case, then it will be disrespectful below." I'm curious to know, who created the Dafa of Duality Xuanhua?"
"Those are the few pages of the remnants of the outer world that have been handed down to this realm, and they have been compiled and supplemented by the twenty-seven generations of my family. β
The old man seemed to know that Li Mochen would have such a question, and handed over a few pages of fragments of spiritual light condensed and restrained: "I'm afraid this matter will disappoint you Mochen Xiaoyou, this master of my family has ascended to the immortal eleven years ago, and there has been no news so far." β
Li Mochen knew that the 'ascending immortal' he was talking about did not mean death, but he really left this realm with the rank of an immortal and began their journey to the Taixu.
However, with these pages of primitive fragments, it is not all fruitless.
"If possible, can you give me a look at your sect's scripture building. I'm interested in all the books that have about timing, space, fate, starry sky. Of course, if your sect doesn't dislike it, I can also leave some of my own perceptions of time and fate in exchange. β
"How can you dislike it? Kunlun Jinglou should be open for you. In addition to the first or two core secrets, you can read them all. β
The old man's eyes showed joy at the first time: "This matter should be the honor of my Kunlun, the battle between you and the Holy See in Berlin is a testament to your attainments." Even if I am Kunlun, there are few people in the past who can compare with you. β
"Thank you very much!"
Li Mochen then hesitated slightly: "I also want to borrow your sect's 'Ninety-Nine Guiyuan Furnace', just in the past few years, the time is about three months. β
At this time, he was ready to collect treasures and build a truly suitable mythical sword weapon for himself.
Li Mochen didn't plan to use Western alchemy this time, just because the sword intent he mastered was composed of more than a dozen conceptual divine powers. And when it comes to 'balance', 'integration' and 'harmony', the alchemy of the West is far inferior to that of the East. The former is focused and extreme, and can express all kinds of divine power to the extreme, but he is not good at dealing with conflicts and contradictions between various forces.
And Kunlun Mountain's 'Ninety-Nine Guiyuan Furnace', he has been famous for a long time. This is an ancient oriental country that gathers more than a dozen great refiners, built with the strength of a country, and also integrates various advanced technologies and draws on some Western alchemy. This is a work that combines the Eastern and Western Immortal Rune Demon Arrays, and it is also the most ideal refining tool in his mind.
The American National Smelting Institute also has things of the same level, but Li Mochen estimates that it is difficult for him to borrow them. Even if you borrow it, you can't use it as much as you want.
