Chapter 294 Utter Defeat
“What’s going on? Tell me more clearly.” Tie Zha frowned and said.
“Let Assistant Green explain it to you.” Sam said and waved to Eva Green. At this moment, the latter was standing not far away with his hands crossed, smiling at Tie Zha. Seeing Sam’s hand gesture, Lotus walked over leisurely.
“Assistant Green, please explain the customization of the Wilderness Knights for us.” Qin Feng asked.
Seeing this, Eva leaned against Tie Zha’s ear and whispered, “This is a pleasant surprise from the princess. No matter what your plan is, the result will be this [Power Armor].” Then, she turned around and looked at Sam and said, “VIP Commissioner, please tell me about the situation.”
“Yes, my lady.” Sam bowed and explained in detail.
Wilderness Knights-Full Mechanical Power Armor, Halley Industrial Heavy Industries High-end Customization Department Manufacturing, RC Company Assembly, Great Wall Company Core Technology Department Debugging; Equipped with “Vajra” super-density alloy armor, “Fearless” super-density alloy skeleton and engine block, three sets of auxiliary airbags, two sets of Halley “Volcano” rocket fuel propellers, Halley three-phase power transmission system, Halley “Ice Age” cooling system; Auxiliary equipment has RC company custom-made version of the basic survival system, infrared thermal scanners, left arm loaded with small emergency shotguns, right arm loaded with ejection ropes; Due to the use of a large number of ultra-dense alloys, the dead weight of the full set of mechanical power armor is 47kg, which is 16kg lighter than that of the Halley industrial standard mechanical power armor.
Although Tie Zha did not understand the construction of the power armor, he could tell that the materials used by the Wilderness Knights were extremely expensive. After Sam finished his introduction, he couldn’t help but ask, “How much is it altogether?”
Facing Tie Zha’s question, Sam looked at Eva Green, his gaze filled with inquiry. The latter smiled and whispered to Tie Zha, “Don’t worry about the money. Just like it.”
Tie Zha hesitated and said, “This … doesn’t seem too good …” Accepting such an expensive gift didn’t even seem to have the possibility of earning back the cost. He didn’t understand anything else. He only knew that in the Harley Industrial Standard Mechanical Power Armor, the “industrial grade” super-density alloy was used for the engine block, while the “diamond grade” super-density alloy was only used for the outer armor. From this, it could be seen that its cost was very high.
‘”The princess is in Atlantic City and the two strongholds of Desert Five and the Bottomless Abyss. She also has the bloodline of the Lombardi and Mordleton families. Although the Wilderness Knights are expensive, this amount of money is like sesame mung beans to the princess …” She smiled and said, “Besides, the princess is counting on you to go to the’ Meditator ‘stronghold and work for her.”
“Meditator Stronghold?” Tie Zha couldn’t help but ask.
Eva nodded and explained that the Thinker Stronghold was one of the territories the Pope had bestowed upon the princess two months ago.
However, due to her and the princess’ special status, according to the Silver City world’s convention, the first, second, and third successors of the nobles, or the next generation of leaders of the three great faiths and powers, were not allowed to cross the spatial gate and travel to an alternate plane. Therefore, they were unable to personally visit the stronghold, so they could only appoint a person in charge to go there. Currently, there were no suitable commanders for the Tyre Stronghold in Desert Five and the Thinker Stronghold in the Bottomless Abyss, so they were temporarily handed over to the captain of the Princess Guard. However, this was not a long-term plan.
For two months, the princess had been searching for a commander for the stronghold. But to this day, she still hadn’t found a suitable partner. Those who were reliable and lacking in ability, and those who had decent abilities were too ambitious, so none of them were satisfied with picking and picking.
“Lord Iron Slag, I’ll leave it to you in the future.” At this point, Eva nodded slightly at Tie Zha, blinked her eyes, and pleaded with a hint of weakness.
“Yes.” Tie Zha didn’t say anything and directly nodded. According to the rules of Iron Mountain Town, accepting money and helping others defend against disasters was a matter of course.
Next, Tie Zha returned to the assembly room and took off his power armor. Due to their low proficiency, Wang Hu and the others stayed behind and followed the convoy to the training area of the Ancient Era’s Arena for a month and a half of training in the use of power armor.
Afterwards, Eva Green arranged for Qin Ke’er, Mu Qian He, Bai Xiao Yun, Ju Ah Mu, and Marvin to participate in the training courses of the Abyss Plane, so that they could familiarize themselves with the situation there as soon as possible. The Bottomless Abyss was one of the most dangerous planes. The slightest carelessness would cause it to fall into the void and burn into powder as it descended at a high speed.
After everything was arranged, Tie Zha and Eva returned to the mansion and drank tea.
After resting for a while, Eva put down her teacup and looked at Tie Zha. She said seriously, “Student Tie Zha, it wasn’t our original intention to let you take risks. However, the current time has dragged on too long. After all, the bottomless abyss is different from Desert No. 5. Things can happen at any time, so we have no choice but to …”
Tie Zha waved his hand and interrupted her, “I’m a man. I can’t stay at home all day. If I don’t find something to do, then …” He hesitated for a moment and said, “It’s really what Xiaoqing said … something …”
“Little Black Face?” Eva asked knowingly.
Tie Zha’s face darkened as he stared at the former without saying a word.
“I’m sorry, Eva does it on purpose from time to time.” Eva said pretentiously, and the craftiness between her eyebrows had already betrayed her heart at this moment. Perhaps, this betrayal was deliberately done by her.
Tie Zha snorted coldly, completely ungrateful for her hypocrisy.
Looking at Tie Zha’s increasingly cold expression, Eva quickly changed the topic. She took out a letter from her waist and handed it over with both hands. “This is the schedule for tomorrow’s awards ceremony and Valentine’s Day dance. There will be a car to pick you up tomorrow morning. Just wear this tarpaulin uniform.” She thought for a while and warned, “Remember to bring your evening dress when you go out in the morning. You need to change into a new one at night.”
Tie Zhan opened the letter and read it carefully.
[7:30, get up, freshen up, dress up; 8 o’clock, breakfast; At 8:30, set off for the Ancient Era’s Arena.]
[8:45, admission, VIP seats, first row, seat 25]
[9.30 pm, Opening Ceremony of the Award Ceremony, Song and Dance Performance]
[10: Official commendation ceremony begins, Director’s speech]
[10:30, Gold-plated awards (Academy Alliance Level 5 awards), Silk Ribbon (Academy Alliance Level 4 awards), Silver Medal (Academy Alliance Level 3 awards)]
[11.45 pm, close, go to the arena lounge for lunch]
[13.30 pm, adjournment, free time, recommended to return to the mansion for rest]
[20.30, Whisper Manor, Valentine’s Day Ball]
[23.30 pm, the ball is over]
After reading it, Tie Zha folded the letter and said, “I don’t want to participate except in the awards ceremony.”
“No, you must go.” Eva hurriedly said.
‘”What am I going to do? I don’t know the etiquette of nobles, nor do I know how to dance, nor do I know how to communicate with strangers …” Tie Zha said sincerely, “I think it’s better to forget about it. Don’t make things difficult for me.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand etiquette. Mu Yuqin and I will teach you at the side. Moreover, Qin Ke’er and Mu Qianhe have also received an invitation letter. With the four of us standing in your way, you don’t need to communicate with strangers. Just communicate with us. As for not knowing how to dance, just don’t dance.” Eva advised.
“I’m not going.” Tie Zha said unmoved. He was a warrior, not a politician, and there was no need to associate too much with strangers of all kinds. Moreover, he had never liked places with too many people since he was young. On that occasion, he would only feel out of place, and his nerves would tighten. To an Iron Mountain Town executive who hadn’t seen much of the world, participating in a high-level dance was like throwing him into the midst of a group of enemies …
“Alright” Eva spread out her hands and sighed, “I won’t force you” Then, she changed the topic and said calmly, “As long as you can convince the princess and the goddess” At this point, she leaned forward and stared at him. “Please remember, convince at the same time.”
‘”Uh” Tie Zha subconsciously leaned back and avoided Eva’s gaze.
“Anyway …” she said helplessly. “Before Eva came, the princess instructed,” Tell Little Slag that if he dares not come, I will slash him. ” Eva imitated You Ge’s tone and expression, and her delicate and savage expression was exquisite.
At the same time that Tie Zha felt a headache, a dispute was happening in the living room of Whispering Manor. At this moment, Mu Yu Ling Lan was glaring angrily at the handkerchief that was sitting upright on the sofa and had just arrived as a guest.
“I will never agree!” Moments later, Mu Yu Ling Lan broke the solid atmosphere and said without a doubt.
“Please calm down, my goddess.” You Ge says with a smile, completely unaffected by the seriousness of the handkerchief exchange.
“If you want to send him to the Bottomless Abyss, then walk over Ling Lan’s corpse.” Mu Yu Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and said without leaving any room.
“Don’t worry, I also cherish his life. My request to him is to leave immediately if he is in danger. Don’t force him. If you lose the stronghold, you can take it back, but if you die, you can’t be revived.” You Ge puts away his charming smile and turns it over to her handkerchief as he says seriously.
“You don’t know him” Mu Yu Ling Lan interrupted halfway through her words. “You don’t know him!”
“If there really is danger, no matter what you said earlier, he will not escape. He is such a person. Letting him escape is harder than letting him die!” Mu Yu Ling Lan said hurriedly.
“If I feel danger, I will send someone to bring him back in advance.” You Ge argues.
“Perception of Origin Energy is not omnipotent.” Mu Yu Ling Lan calmed down and reminded in a deep voice.
“I’m sorry, I don’t think so.” You Ge shrugs and says.
“Princess, I beg you.” Mu Yu Ling Lan’s tone softened as she lowered her eyebrows and pleaded to the handkerchief.
“Why don’t you believe him? Do you think he’s the kind of boy who needs someone to protect him? Or do you think he’s willing to be hugged by our goddess and become a happy little pet from now on?” You Ge asks. Mu Yu Ling Lan did not reply and just looked at her quietly. You Ge sighs and continues, “If that’s the case, I think …”
“He would rather die.” You Ge stares at the handkerchief and says firmly.
Mu Yu Ling Lan did not answer because she knew that she had already lost completely in this matter. He was completely defeated and had no strength to retaliate.
