Invincible Chapter 487
Accompanied by lightning and thunder, heavy rain fell in the evening, making it dark half an hour earlier.
After an early dinner, Lawrence, the owner of Fort Gorn, wisely didn't make any further advances. Instead, he arranged the best guest room for the so-called tired Kane to rest.
In this era of backward infrastructure, not to mention riding a horse, even the bumps suffered by a car are enough to make ordinary people complain.
Of course, for Kane, this kind of problem is almost non-existent.
The maid put down the fruit plate, saluted and backed out. Kane walked to the window, looking at the pouring rain outside, lost in thought.
Amanda was invited by Mrs. Gowan to visit this rather large castle.
The Blood Banner Guards were on standby as before, and there were people standing guard, including outside Kane's room. The castle is illuminated by oil lamps, which is not considered bright, and the light around the Blood Banner Guard is even more dim, which is the result of energy exchange with the outside world.
People including the Holy Cult only saw the toughness of the Blood Banner Guards, but they didn't know that what was really valuable was actually the armor on them.
These crystalline iron armors are also products of dark forging.
In his previous life, when Kane was still a mortal in the original world, he watched {The Lord of the Rings}, and saw that Saruman created the orcs by digging out eggs with only one layer of flexible membrane from the mud, and the orcs were bred inside.
He thinks it's very cool, it's simply a Western style of throwing beans into soldiers.
Later, he also specially turned over the original work, and wrote about this paragraph:...they came out of the ground like maggots...
After having this piece of information in his mind, he later embarked on the path of the swarm. He inevitably compared his own system with Saruman's mud-egg monsters, and felt that from a magical point of view, his technology was still superior. one chip.
And this kind of comparison can be said to be an important source of motivation for the initiation of the art of refining.
Less consumables and energy consumption, high practicability of creation, easy collection of resources, and reusable waste.
This is the development direction Kane has been pursuing.
Later, these goals were summarized into a concept: information first, technology is king, and the ability to give things information as conveniently and efficiently as possible.
This is the direction of the technical system he pursues.
Alchemy has achieved this to a considerable extent. Very ordinary stone and wood have become high-quality creations because of the enrichment of information.
Crystal iron, the raw material is ore to put it bluntly, and the shaping of the shape is completed through the art of shaping, which is almost the same as Saruman creating strong orcs. After the refining is completed, the brittle stone shell is broken to reveal the inner armor. part.
Even the true red cloak is woven from vine fibers.
After they are created, they can also obtain performance improvements through continuous energy infiltration.
These puppets themselves have no potential to rise, but the external pendants can. After the puppet was scrapped, new war bugs took over the creation and made good use of it.
This is the characteristic of the iron-blooded swarm system when extraordinary energy and resources are relatively sufficient. It is no longer a model where a large factory must be built to mass-produce puppets, but it is like carrying a production line with you, as long as you have resources, you can start work at any time.
The wizards of the convoy were the same. They placed their magic carpets on the ground in the lounge arranged by Lawrence, and then sat cross-legged on them, absorbing energy.
For them, this is equivalent to charging, but for the objects they carry, such as instruments, it is a sacrifice.
"Father, those people feel weird, and they can't laugh." Lawrence's youngest son, Jim, pointed to the Blood Banner Guard standing like a javelin in the rain.
The Blood Banner guard stood beside Kane's car and had stood motionless for several hours. Seeing that, he would continue to stand like this.
"It is indeed a bit strange, but on the other hand, they are all people with extraordinary power. It is not surprising that such people have some habits that we regard as eccentricities."
"Being able to stand still like this means having extraordinary strength? I don't think, at least Cynthia can do it, but she is obviously not much stronger than me."
Lawrence did not correct the difference between extraordinary strength and great strength,
Instead, he grasped the point of Jim's leak and asked, "Have you ever seen Cynthia stand motionless for a long time? Where and when?"
Cynthia is Lawrence's second daughter. She was not liked by him since she was a child, and she was neglected to discipline her. In Lawrence's cognition, Cynthia is dull and withdrawn, but generally kind.
But if he stood motionless for several hours, it would be a bit too much, especially in the sensitive period when the witch riot happened in the neighboring town of Red Maple Castle.
When Lawrence asked, Jim also found that he had slipped his mouth, and muttered angrily: "I promised Cynthia not to say anything."
However, children are always easy to coax, especially when father and son have a good relationship. Under Jim's name, Lawrence is not a majestic father, but a kind father who can act like a baby, so Lawrence can easily get it from Jim. Know some special circumstances.
Lawrence immediately realized that Cynthia was likely to be "witched". The simple understanding is that she was manipulated by a witch and became a medium for witchcraft, thus possessing a certain degree of ability to use witchcraft.
If it was the past, Lawrence would probably shoulder the burden of this kind of thing, try not to disturb too many people, and try to solve the problem quickly.
But this time was different, the situation in Red Maple Castle made him very worried, and the strength shown by Kane and his party made him extremely at ease.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to be an annoying landlord and bother the distinguished guests.
In the end, he was still a few steps away from the door of Kane's room, and Kane came out on his own initiative.
"Sir Gowan, I'm looking for you. I'm afraid something bad happened here." Kane said directly, and glanced at Jim who was following Lawrence.
Lawrence was startled: "You know everything?"
Kane frowned slightly. He realized that Lawrence must have misunderstood. What he said should not be the same as Lawrence coming to him.
"What are you here for? Long story short."
Lawrence organized his words, and said: "Your guard stood motionless in the rain for several hours. My son and I used this as a topic of discussion, which inadvertently led to my daughter Cynthia doing similar things. Combining Other details that I didn't know before, I suspect that Cynthia is controlled by a witch."
Kane nodded and glanced at Jim again, understanding Lawrence's intention of bringing his son here.
In theory, children should not be allowed to get involved in such a thing.
But Jim's testimony is very important. Not only can it be possible to dig out more useful information, but it can also prove that this is not a well-arranged drama by Lawrence, but really an unexpected situation.
Another reason is that Lawrence realizes that if there is a problem of witch control, it is relatively safer to bring the youngest son with him.
Kane said: "Your guess is probably correct. Baroness Peyton is no longer in Fort Gorn. I have relevant spells, which makes me very sure of this. I am about to send you, and you will arrive by yourself."
Lawrence immediately saw sweat on his head.
Kane waved his hand: "You don't need to apologize, the witch's control of Cynthia is certainly to seize your Fort Gorn, but what happened should have something to do with my arrival. After all, when it comes to the root cause, what the witches did, It's nothing more than benefits, they probably think they can get a richer ransom from me."
Kane was already so reasonable, so Lawrence naturally didn't want to talk about those unnutritious words, and said respectfully: "Is there anything I can do for you, please tell me."
"Well, there is indeed, you stay with me for the time being, so that it is convenient to handle all kinds of trivial matters."
While speaking, the dark wizard under Kane appeared.
Kane ordered: "Four guards, two mages, protect Jim Gowan."
"Thank you, thank you!" Lawrence hurriedly thanked. What he is most concerned about now is his little son. The wives are average, because this wife is not the original wife, she only entered the house three years ago. Although Lawrence also likes it, he doesn't have the passion of his youth, nor the family affection accumulated over the years, and his affection is much worse than that of his original partner.
Kane didn't talk nonsense, and reached out to Jim, which meant to settle down quickly.
So Lawrence told his son, just to be obedient or something.
His son was very well-behaved. Although he was obviously afraid of Kane's subordinates, he still solemnly agreed to Lawrence and promised to be obedient.
Kane watched this scene silently, and said to Lawrence after the end: "Once upon a time, I was also a good boy like Jim. Because I was weak and talented, I was often frustrated among my peers..."
With that said, Kane broke off his left little finger and handed it to Jim. "I'm Kane Sun, the natural contractor. I'll give you a chance to become a superhuman. It's up to you whether you can seize it."
Kane's actions frightened Jim a little. He flinched and dodged, and kept looking at Lawrence, as if he wanted to gain courage from his father.
Lawrence knew that the legendary fortune had come, but he couldn't do it too much. He could only use encouraging eyes to encourage his son to seize the opportunity.
Jim finally chose to accept it, and his reason was very simple. At the dinner party, Kane made the holy silver dagger in public. In Jim's view, it was very cool and cool, and he was very yearning for it.
Jim stretched out his little hand tremblingly, and took the little finger wrapped with the rune mooncloth.
Then it was discovered that the little finger had changed, like a fang, or a horn model, golden, with the luster of jade, and there was a hole at the thick end, which was passed through by a thin string, clearly it was a pendant.
"Thank you teacher." Jim has already started to read, and he can barely understand what Kane said just now. Thank you right now.
Lawrence looked at his son with loving eyes. I said to my heart that this sentence, teacher, is more cost-effective than any gift. At the critical moment, my son is very powerful, and he is destined to be extraordinary in the future. Why didn't I see it before?
Kane is in a special situation and doesn't really understand the emotions caused by the endless reproductive instinct, but this does not prevent him from feeling this warm moment.
If it were his body, he wouldn't be so casual and restless. And his temperament is highly similar to the main body, and he is self-disciplined, but he has the mind to try different choices, so when making choices, he is more emotional, more voluptuous, and even seems a little deliberate.
In his mind, this is actually a kind of mental experience. After returning, these memories will be shared with the main body, which can improve the cold and rational problem of the main body.
After settling Jim, Kane applied the levitation technique to Lawrence, and then quickly shuttled through the mansion like pulling a ribbon.
The Gao En family's semi-castle-like mansion is the result of more than ten generations of hard work, with dozens of aisles and more than 200 rooms.
Fortunately, Kane has spells to track Amanda's residual breath, and he can also determine the location of the incident through the change in magic power in the area caused by the cast of the spell, so there is no need to investigate one by one, and soon found Where the incident happened.
It was a secret room that had not been used for a long time.
This secret room was once a refuge, and there was a living well in the not-so-large room.
"The well dried up after an earthquake that was not felt too strongly. It should be that the groundwater veins have changed. This happened nearly a hundred years ago. I only found out when I was bored looking through the family dictionaries."
Kane stood at the mouth of the well and went down.
For him, the darkness is not a problem, and the situation below can be seen clearly.
The well is not deep, only about four or five meters. Visually, the inner diameter of the underground water channel can accommodate a child like Jim crawling. It is too reluctant to use it as a secret passage.
And from the perspective of energy remnants, what was used was not the energy-intensive technique of teleportation magic.
In addition, he blessed Amanda with some almost constant BUFF effects. Amanda cannot be confused or transformed.
In this way, the way of leaving seems rather bizarre...
