“How old are you this year?” After Tie Zha sat down, Layton asked.
“Twenty-one.” Although Tie Zha was reluctant, he answered honestly.
“Very young.” Layton sighed. Although his words were slightly better than his fourth daughter’s, his tone was not lacking in contempt. Then he asked, “Young man, what do you do?”
Tie Zha thought for a moment and replied, “The person in charge of the stronghold.”
“The person in charge of which stronghold?” Layton asked subconsciously.
“Desert Tyre Stronghold # 5, Bottomless Abyss Meditator Stronghold.” Tie Zha replied. Although the latter had yet to take up his post, it was still settled. After all, in front of his future father-in-law, he still had to raise his social status, so as not to be looked down upon by the Cherokees.
Layton nodded thoughtfully and said, “Well, the person in charge of the fortress is doing a good job.”
“Not bad.” Tie Zha nodded modestly.
“Wait …” Layton suddenly frowned, as if he remembered something.
“Huh?” Tie Zha replied with a puzzled expression.
“What did you just say?” Layton asked.
“Didn’t I say anything?” Tie Zha almost couldn’t help but roll his eyes. The two fathers and daughters’ surprised personalities were simply printed in the same mold.
“Your last sentence.” “Desert Tyre Stronghold # 5, Bottomless Abyss Meditator Stronghold.” “Just one more sentence.” “The person in charge of the stronghold.”
“You said that you are the person in charge of Desert Tyre Stronghold # 5 and Abyssal Meditator Stronghold!” Layton suddenly stood up and repeated with a surprised expression.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded and replied solemnly.
Layton sat down slowly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, “Didn’t you pick up trash in Iron Mountain Town? Why did you change your job?”
“This” Tie Zha scratched his hair, not knowing how to answer.
“Father, that was when I was young.” Syris interrupted.
“Oh …” Layton nodded his head as if he was enlightened, and then asked, “Young man, what is your annual salary now?” Although the question was very sharp, his tone was much better and he was no longer angry.
“No … I don’t know …” Tie Zha rubbed his forehead. He really hadn’t talked to the boss about the salary.
“Lord Father, the income of the stronghold commander is calculated as a percentage of the total profits of the stronghold.” Syris’ explanation was like sending charcoal through the snow. Tie Zha couldn’t help but look at her and give her a thankful look.
“Does that mean that your income is not bad?” Layton asked.
“Not bad.” Tie Zha replied.
“You and Nana have known each other for six or seven years, right?” “Yes.” “Nana is sometimes willful.” “Yes.” “Are you getting along well?” “Yes.”
“Do you sleep together occasionally?” “Yes.” Layton asked unexpectedly, but Tie Zha didn’t react for a moment, so he nodded his head directly.
In an instant, a sudden change occurred. The originally pleasant Layton’s face suddenly flushed red. Like an enraged lion, his head of white hair stood upright and he suddenly punched Tie Zha’s face. At this moment, in the latter’s pupils, the brick-sized fist grew larger and larger. At this critical moment, Tie Zha tilted his head and dodged the first punch.
Immediately after, a second punch followed. Tie Zha shouted, raised his hand to block the attack, and unleashed his second punch. In the next moment, the moment Layton retracted his right fist, his body slightly arched. Then, he took a step forward and threw out a third punch like a bamboo shoot.
At this moment, Tie Zha, who was extremely quick to react, grabbed Layton’s old fist with a “pa” sound.
“You bullied her daughter and didn’t let anyone hit you …”
Hearing Syris’s strange voice, Tie Zha was careless. He was punched in the face by Layton. He immediately rolled a few meters away, scattered the newspaper rack, and then crashed into the glass cabinet without diminishing his momentum, causing glass fragments to scatter everywhere …
Seeing this, Layton’s expression suddenly changed. He quickly stepped forward to check, only to see Tie Zha getting up again. He then laughed and said, “Young people are really impatient to fight. You should pay attention to exercising more at ordinary times.”
“You’re right.” Tie Zha shook the glass on his body and agreed against his will.
At this moment, the butler came to the living room and knew, “Master, Young Master, Miss, lunch is ready.”
Seeing this, Tie Zha was about to say goodbye when Renault waved to him and said, “Come on, let’s have lunch together.”
Afterwards, Tie Zha followed the three of them to the restaurant and sat down. At first glance, the food on the dining table could only be said to be ordinary. On the one hand, due to the limited amount of ingredients that Beihuang could grow, they were basically imported from the outer continent. It was not easy to eat something good and fresh; On the other hand, he was accustomed to eating the ingredients of the princess’ mansion, and his appetite had also become picky.
Also, although the Syros Clan was the head of the Four Great Clans of Sand City, they had only risen for about a hundred years, so their family’s foundation was not rich. This was something that the iron slag had known for a long time. Not to mention anything else, it could be seen from the wine on the dining table. Just now, Tie Zha picked up his glass and took a sip. The smell was very familiar. It was actually Li Qi VSOP …
Of course, he wasn’t a distinguished guest, and the Hiroshi didn’t have to serve him good wine, but Richie VS and Richie VSOP were the cheap drinks that the Marines usually drank, and it was truly disgraceful to the big families.
During the meal, Tie Zha pulled out his communicator and dialed Sparrow Eagle 3’s entourage, asking them to bring two boxes of sea demon red wine and a box of Pope Cognac over.
Seeing that he was drunk, Layton instructed the butler, “Young man, don’t waste money. As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade.”
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded in agreement. His attitude was quite sincere, but the criticism in his heart was indescribable.
After lunch, Layton brought Tie Zha to the study, closed the door, and chatted alone. Layton poured Tie Zha a glass of wine and then talked about Lena. Three years ago, Lena had a conflict with the four Saint Rankers of Silver City No. 13. Then, she wrote a letter to her family saying that she would go to the Endless Sand Sea. Ever since then, she had never returned home.
After hearing that there was no news of Lena from the Xerox family, Tie Zha pondered for a moment and asked, “Why is she hiding? What exactly is she hiding from?”
“Nana” Layton hesitated for a moment before finally making up his mind to take a deep breath and say, “She’s a dragonizer.”
“Dragonizer!” Although he had already guessed, when he heard this news, Tie Zha was still shocked. Not long after, he gradually recovered from his shock and couldn’t help but sigh, “I thought that the Dragonizer was just a legend.”
‘”No, the dragonizer has always been there” Layton took a sip of wine and continued to explain.
In the past hundred years, three dragonizers had appeared in Silver City, and Lena Euclid was the third one.
The dragonizer is the highest form of human rebirth. Legend has it that whenever a world was about to be destroyed, dragonizers would appear. They tear apart the void at the last moment and take away the genes of the species. However, the Silver City world was now becoming more stable. At the very least, the Origin Energy practitioners had not “sensed” the danger of extinction.
According to scholars’ analysis, the abnormal phenomenon of the dragonizer’s appearance was due to the existence of the “apocalyptic illusion”.
The so-called apocalyptic illusion is the illusion that humans plunder the resources of different planes through spatial rifts, and under the influence of the conservation of spatial energy density, the equivalent loss of energy in the plane results in spatial turbulence.
Simply put, the Silver City world was like a broken egg, making people feel like it was on the verge of collapse. However, because of the connection of multiple planes, the Silver City world became a transit point for energy. The excess energy could be discharged in time, and the energy that was lacking could be replenished in time. Not only did it not cause any turbulence, it became even more stable.
As a result, under the illusion of doomsday, the dragonizer was born. However, dragonizers were existences born for the apocalypse. They instinctively absorbed the energy that was floating in the air and eventually evolved into the True Dragon Form.
However, once the True Dragons appeared, the space around them would be in an extremely unstable state and would shatter at any moment. Therefore, their final destination will be the higher planes in the carbon-based life span, such as the bottomless abyss, the mirror sea, and so on.
However, the Silver City world was located in the middle of the carbon-based life span, so it was not rich in free energy. Therefore, it would take at least a thousand years for a dragonizer to evolve into a true dragon.
“Then according to what you said, Lena doesn’t need to hide herself at all. Even if she threatens this world, it will be a thousand years from now.” Tie Zha interrupted and analyzed.
“Normally speaking, that’s true, but …” Layton continued. “For some reason, the last two dragonizers have disappeared. This is top-secret information, and only the upper echelons know why.”
“When I discovered that Nana possessed the characteristics of a dragonizer, I consulted a lot of relevant information and touched upon some of the secrets of the Temple. However, my authority is very low and I can only access very few information. Therefore, in order to protect her, I asked her to hide her strength and hide in Tieshan Town.” Layton paused, took a sip of wine, and said, “The Temple has been searching for the Dragonizers for nearly a hundred years. They must have some secret, so …” Layton sighed and said, “You don’t need to look for her. If one day she wants to appear, she will naturally appear. But before that, let’s let her live a carefree life …”
At this point, Layton said solemnly, “This is a request from me, Layton Hiroth, as a father.”
Tie Zha was dumbfounded for a long time after hearing Layton’s words. In the end, he took a deep breath and nodded towards Layton. Then, he dragged his heavy footsteps and left the study.
As he walked out of Herrera’s Manor, Hillman chased after him and put his arm around Tie Zha’s shoulder. “Brother, do you really work in the Bottomless Abyss?” He asked.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded.
“Bring me along. I want to go too.” Hillman pleaded.
“Huh?” Tie Zha asked doubtfully.
“As Nana’s man, you can’t …” Hillman said in a threatening tone. “Reject your uncle’s request.”
“This” Tie Zha hesitated.
“Besides, I helped you just now. You can’t be ungrateful, can you?” Hillman asked. Then he patted Tie Zha on the shoulder and swore, “Don’t worry, I’m a powerful psionic. I won’t hold you back.”
“What rank?” Tie Zha asked casually.
‘”This” Hillman leaned closer to Tie Zha, opened his index finger and thumb, and hinted.
“Eighth Order!” Tie Zha looked sideways with an awe-inspiring expression.
Big Uncle shook his head.
“Seventh rank?” Tie Zha asked. He opened his index finger and thumb. It was either eight or seven.
Big Uncle immediately revealed a mysterious smile and said, “Second Grade.”
“You” For a moment, Tie Zha was so shameless that he couldn’t speak.
From the beginning, no one paid attention to this book, asking people to take a look around, asking people to pay attention to this book that I put in all my effort. Until today, with the support of so many friends, all of a sudden, surging emotions intertwined.
At this moment, he only nodded, but he was speechless …
