The First Evolution

The end of the initial evolution! Twilight of Nineteen Years Old Chapter 2: The rain is about to come and the wind fills the building. Evelina said:

"Yes, the overall damage rate of Aegis Aikois now exceeds 30%. You can understand it this way, it is like a shabby house that has been in disrepair for a long time, and the doors and windows have even been directly damaged by weathering. , although the main structure is still there and is considered strong, it is not easy to restore it to its original state.”

"That means total renovation, decoration and care from head to toe, which is a big project! This alone will take a lot of time, and that's if there are enough materials."

Speaking of this, Evelina sighed regretfully:

"Originally, there are sufficient materials to repair the Aegis Aegis, but they are all in the goddess's kingdom."

Fang Linyan added lightly:

"So those precious things can only be found in the Vatican?"

Evelina continued:

"However, this is not the point. The manic Medusa weapon soul inside Aikois is the biggest trouble. After all, no matter how damaged the appearance of Aikois is, at least it will not harm you in turn!"

"But Medusa is different. Because of her special experience and the fact that she has been out of control for a long time, she is now full of hostility and may become a time bomb that explodes anytime and anywhere. !”

"It will be a long-term, continuous grind to get Aikos back on track without affecting its power."

Fang Linyan sighed and pressed his aching temple:

"Okay then, that's it. If Aikois can recover as soon as possible, then I will be very happy."

Evelina smiled and nodded:

"Okay, I will try my best to finish it."

In the next few days, Fang Linyan continued to live a life of "making machines", working with lathes, engine oil, and parts every day.

At the same time, he began to purify the ore obtained from Lord Evans and use it to make incredibly strong alloys, thereby strengthening various advanced machines in his laboratory.

Greece is not one of the embargoed countries, so with the goddess's connections and financial support, Fang Linyan can easily buy the top equipment on the market.

Of course, it is just the top one on the market, and there is at least five years of generation gap between it and the top equipment in practical applications.

Because this part of the top equipment will never be sold by the owner/country in order to seek a monopoly.

However, Fang Linyan's team was soon stunned to confirm that the performance of the modified equipment had increased so horribly that it could only be described as a miracle! Its performance has jumped from five years behind the original top technology to thirty years ahead of the original top technology...

Such an astonishing discovery even caused the goddess Athena to gain five or six fanatic followers at once, because such a thing can only be explained by gods.

With Fang Linyan's efforts, he began to try to resume the manufacture of mechanical cores because he discovered that the construct creatures summoned during the dark of the moon were also interested in precise mechanical structures.

For example, Tibbers, who seemed so sweet and harmless when not in combat, accidentally ate an antique wall clock in the Garden of Eden.

This thing is a veritable antique, and it is still an antique that can be noticed by an old monster like Lord Evans and displayed in the reception room! !

Its worth can only be described as priceless. It is estimated that ordinary people will not be able to afford it in their lifetime.

After discovering this, Fang Linyan quickly researched it and found that not only Tibbers, but also Valor had this habit. Fang Linyan went to buy some mechanical watches and then disassembled their movements. come out.

Then these watch movements were happily eaten by Tibbers and Valor, just like ordinary people eating snacks or children chewing jelly beans, and they ate them happily.

From this, Fang Linyan came up with an idea. Previously, he used high-quality mechanical cores as casting materials to summon more powerful mechanical creatures. It was feasible to construct creatures.

Now, in theory, Dark of the Moon actually consumes casting materials to summon more powerful metal/construct life forms.

It's just that the casting material has turned into an energy block that all mechanical/constructed creatures like, but it definitely doesn't mean that they don't like the mechanical core.

If this is the case, then by consuming energy blocks and adding more sophisticated mechanical cores, will it be possible to attract stronger and more advanced mechanical/constructed life forms?

There is a saying that if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Now that Fang Linyan has more advanced processing machinery, he is sure to create a silver plot-level mechanical core as a sacrifice, so of course he can try it and see for himself Is the guess valid?

***

However, just when Fang Linyan stayed in the manor for three days and was about to build the first silver plot-level mechanical core, he suddenly received a call.

The moment he picked up the phone, Fang Linyan was still a little confused:

"HELLO, who is it?"

"I'm Jacob, sir."

Fang Linyan stayed for about ten seconds before he remembered that the old housekeeper who usually took care of his daily life was Jacob...

To be honest, he still respected the serious and responsible Butler Jacob, and said hurriedly:

"Oh! Sorry, Mr. Butler, I didn't know what happened to you."

Butler Jacob said:

"According to the latest news released by the Greenwich Observatory, there will be a total solar eclipse at 3 p.m. on the 11th. This total solar eclipse will be very short and is only available in central Asia and parts of India. Observed.”

Fang Linyan was a little confused:

"this?"

Butler Jacob heard the confusion in Fang Linyan's words, and said simply:

"It's like this, Lord Knight. Seven months ago, you personally ordered me to pay close attention to the news of the total solar eclipse, especially the total solar eclipse that can be observed in Tai City in central Asia. Once it is If I know the relevant news, I must inform you as soon as possible.”

After hearing what the old housekeeper said, Fang Linyan immediately thought about it! The cause and effect suddenly appeared directly in front of his eyes.

The mysterious man, the mysterious old man who appeared unexpectedly, and the chance of survival... are all hidden in the mysterious unknown.

The only clue that can unravel the reason is based on that sentence:

"During the next total solar eclipse, come to the old yellow horn tree in Mazu Temple!"

Recently, things have been busy, and Fang Linyan encountered a goddess who ran away strangely. He also felt the pressure of the coming storm, so he almost forgot about this matter. It’s hard for Jacob to remember it, and he reminded himself of it by the way.

However, when Fang Linyan put down the phone, he immediately keenly caught a possibility:

At this time when the storm is about to come, the clue of a total solar eclipse suddenly appears. Is this man-made or a coincidence?

The key is that if you don't go, then who knows how long it will be before the next total solar eclipse can be observed in Taicheng? Maybe it will be next week, maybe next year, or even ten or twenty years, I can’t tell!

go? Still not going?

However, Fang Linyan soon thought of something:

"When you are hesitating, you already have the answer in your heart."

This sentence is actually a truth in the world, because 90% of men hesitate in front of the stairs leading to the fourth floor of the bathhouse. No matter how long they linger, there is a high probability that they will choose the big job in the end.

What? What about the other ten percent?

Of course I walked up without hesitation.

Isn’t it just for the heart-warming and heart-warming “you don’t have to pay for drinking” greeting?

Then Fang Linyan thought of another thing. If he wanted to meet the person behind the scenes, should he bring the old man's machine with him?

The Bisca Data Flow in this thing is my last trump card and has saved me several times when I was in desperate situations.

However, this is also something that the person behind the scenes gave to him. If the other party has malicious intentions, it will easily become a time bomb. But if he does not bring it, it will be the connection prop between himself and the mysterious person. !

After hesitating for a long time, Fang Linyan decisively chose not to take it.

Because he suddenly thought of one thing, that is, this old man's machine had reminded him that the Bisca data stream stored in it should have been used up long ago.

However, during the joint trial, the Bisca data stream that was lost from auction item No. 3 also recharged the old man's machine. This is a small probability event!

It can be seen from the text messages sent by the mysterious man at that time that he is not omnipotent, and there are obvious deviations in the predicted history.

So for that mysterious man, his prediction must be "This guy Wrench has no old man's machine anymore", instead of pinning the matter on "This guy Wrench was lucky enough to find the Bisca data during his adventure. The flow energizes it.”

In other words, if the mysterious man is kind to himself, he will definitely think of the situation that he does not have the old man machine with him. After all, in his prediction, since the Bisca data stream in this thing is used, then The old machine is useless.

Fang Linyan calculated the time and found that there were still eight days until the total solar eclipse, but he had planned to leave here first ------- Fang Linyan predicted that his crisis must be quite big, so big that the goddess could directly To the point of running away.

Everything must be done with the worst in mind, and it is a necessary operation to anticipate the enemy and be lenient.

Therefore, the home field advantage of staying in Greece is nothing. Once the real crisis comes, Evelina's death will be in vain. What's more, now that Fang Linyan has given Evelina his last trump card, the black old man machine?

Since you definitely have somewhere to go, why not leave first? So soon, Fang Linyan called the old housekeeper:

"Get me a ticket, or a plane. I want to go to Taicheng as quickly as possible."

The old housekeeper nodded:

"Okay, sir--I have to make sure again, are you alone?"

Fang Linyan said:

"Yes, I am alone. Priest Evelina will stay here to preside over all affairs. Closing the temple for a long time will damage the piety of the believers."

At this time, the temple had indeed resumed operations. When the goddess and the high priest left, they only took away the core members.

After gaining the same power as the high priest, Evelina actually knew what she wanted to do. It only took her three hours to promote a large group of people and then stuff them into various positions. .

As long as the most important thing is that Evelina can preside over the statue of the goddess, and then transfer the prayers of believers to the goddess, and then have the prayers answered, or even not answered, then everything is not a big problem.

The most typical example is Catholicism. The Supreme God has been dormant for a long time, and the divine grace has not shown much. However, relying on the powerful priest system, the sect is still thriving.

On the contrary, if there is a problem between the priests and the believers, the decline of the church will be really visible to the naked eye.

According to Fang Linyan's request, he had just packed his luggage when a helicopter landed on the tarmac of the manor and sent it to Athens International Airport in only fifteen minutes.

Here, a Gulfstream private jet dedicated by devout believers has been parked on the tarmac. There is still a residual smell of alcohol, smoke and some unknown smells inside the aircraft. This is enough to show that before the aircraft was urgently dispatched, There are people partying up there.

A stewardess stood in front of the electric boarding slide, bowed with an impeccable smile, and signaled Fang Linyan to enter the cabin, but the blush on her face showed that this sudden overtime had interrupted her wonderful nightlife.

Fang Linyan bets that at this moment, there is a shirtless man cursing himself fiercely in a hotel far away.

But these are not important anymore. After he sat down on the leather sofa, he cast his eyes towards the wind and rain outside the window. The wind and rain in Greece had begun to gradually subside, but Fang Linyan could almost predict that the wind and rain in Thailand had just begun.

at the same time,

Taicheng,

The streets seemed quite calm late at night.

Only those small vendors who specialize in late-night customers stay open, providing services to those overtime workers, singers, and pleasure seekers.

At this time, this stall called "Laohuang Rouyan" has been open for 45 years.

More than ten years ago, the founder, Lao Huang, died unexpectedly. At this time, Xiao Huang, who took over, also became Lao Huang. Except for a few days of rest during the annual New Year's Day, he would set it up on the street corner, rain or shine, from 8 p.m. to four o'clock in the morning.

If a small stall has only been open for one year, it is just an inconspicuous one among thousands of vendors.

After a small stall has been open for ten years, it has proven that it has something to offer and can gain a foothold in the highly competitive catering market, and the owner can make a living and support his family.

A small stall has been open for forty-five years, which proves that the boss has done what most people can't do - devoting his best energy and most precious time to such a thing! What this represents is no longer an ordinary small store, but a part of many people’s lives and youth.

Therefore, Laohuang Rouyan’s business has always been very good.
