Edge of the Apocalypse

Three Hundred and Thirtieth Chapters Hidden Worry

With a good mood, Maude came to the restaurant. The old butler has skillfully taken pots of small but exquisite food from the handmaiden, and put them on the dining table. Looking at the assortment of delicious food, Maud let out a sigh of satisfaction: "There are many human beings, but one of the biggest must be eating, otherwise why I can't help but want to stay when I see these exquisite meals. I'm drooling."

"Because you have some good cooks, Your Excellency." The old butler smiled and stood behind Maud with his hands behind his back, waiting for orders at any time.

Maud first put a mouthful of fresh green salad into his mouth with a silver spoon, and then started with a piece of toast with butter. The door of the restaurant opened, and a young man ran in like a breeze. Maud frowned and said, "Joy, I told you. As a gentleman, you have to pay attention to your image at all times."

The young man named Joey was Maud's youngest son, and also his favorite son, otherwise how could he enter the restaurant without knocking on the door like this. If it were someone else, they would have to be reprimanded if they said less.

"It turns out that I, Father, my stomach is already growling with hunger." The young man patted his stomach, smiled and pulled out a chair and sat down.

"You already have your own family, don't you know that breakfast should be eaten at your own home?" Maud threw a piece of baked ham coated with honey into his mouth with a fork, and said while chewing.

Qiao Yi took a big sip of the freshly squeezed juice in the morning, and said, "I have something important to see you, father."

"What made you come to see me at breakfast?" Maud asked curiously.

Joey took out a delicate box from his pocket and waved to the old housekeeper. The latter walked over and handed the box to Maud. The baron opened it, and inside was a piece of cotton cloth. The cotton cloth was woven with red and black threads into a grid pattern of different colors. This pattern was very common and there was nothing extraordinary about it. Maud looked at Joey suspiciously. He believed that his son would not be so stupid as to show up in his mansion at this early morning with a piece of ordinary fabric.

So he looked at it carefully, and after a while, he was surprised to find that the needle holes of this piece of cotton cloth were surprisingly thin, and the size of each grid was almost the same. Its style is very common, but its quality is high-quality. The key point is the patterns, and the regularity itself has a strange beauty.

"Where is this made?" Maud asked.

Joey stuffed a piece of toast into his mouth and said vaguely, "Sur City."

"Impossible, the city of the old guy in York doesn't have this kind of production technology. If it is hand-worsted, the cost will be very high." Moder frowned, wondering whether the city of Sur would develop into worsted. But that won't work. Speaking of the field of worsted spinning,

The upper nobles of the empire only looked for fabrics produced by a few established families. No matter how well the city of Suer did, this remote border city would never want to break into the upper echelons of the empire, as there would be no profit to speak of.

Joey managed to swallow the bread in his mouth, and said, "This is a new type of textile, my father. It's not made by hand, that's right, it's a machine. A machine that runs with iron components and gears."

"Exactly the product of the Crosis loom."

"The loom?" Maud put down his fork. "What's going on here?"

"There is only one person who can answer this question for you. If you allow me, I want him to come in."

Maude smiled: "It seems that you have made enough preparations, let's call in."

Joey called out of the restaurant: "Mr. Latis, you can come in."

The door opened, and a man walked in quickly, and bowed deeply to Maud: "It's an honor to meet you, brave and wise Sir Maud."

Men's compliments are very useful to Maud. Although such compliments are heard almost every day, he will not get tired of hearing them. He nodded and smiled: "Then Mr. Latis from Sur City, can you tell me about the Crosis loom?"

The man who raised his head was the businessman Latis who wanted to teach Allen that day but was frustrated. With a smile on his face, he said, "When it comes to this matter, we must first start with a foreigner named Allen..."

While Latis was talking about Allen in Storm City, he opened his eyes in the city of Sur.

This is a brand new day. After more than half a year of continuous tempering, finally last night, the overflowing source power built another brand new circuit in Allen's body, marking that his source power has entered level 16. This promotion opened up a new ability for Allen, Flame Rush. This is a trap-type ability, which can leave a fire seed at a designated location and activate the detonation when needed. The important thing is that this ability can be released with a delay, which means that in theory Allen can arrange an area as a minefield, which will detonate when the opponent steps in.

In a limited space, the superposition of energy will produce huge destructive power. Of course, due to the delay limit of this ability, after calculation, Allen can only bury three flaming ground punches within a diameter of 20 meters at a time. In this way, the destructive power is limited, but if it is used well, it is enough to make the opponent drink a pot.

However, Alan is not necessarily very happy about being promoted and unlocking new abilities. Since the last promotion, he has clearly felt the existence of the second layer of confinement barrier. Especially when the evil eye evolved last time, the existence of the barrier was even more obvious. And this time, when the source power jumped to level 16, the existence of the imprisonment barrier became clearer. From this point of view, the higher the level is, the more obvious the barrier of source power will be, and when he wants to advance to become an awakened person, it will fully play its role.

Hughton said that the first barrier is the most powerful. At that time, he used the superposition of nine source power vortexes to break through forcefully. I think he was weak at that time and still suffered serious injuries. If one were to advance to the rank of awakened person and act in accordance with the law, with the strength of the source force of level 20, one's heart might explode.

But if he doesn't try to hit the barrier, then he will stop at this level forever. By then, even if there were still people willing to follow him, Allen's achievements had stagnated. For him, there is nothing more painful than this.

It's a pity that this kind of thing can't be rushed. At least according to Allen's knowledge, there is currently no way to break through the barrier. He sighed softly, and could only see if he had the opportunity to return to Earth in the future, he would discuss it with Horn or Hughton.

Originally, the most suitable candidate should be Windsor Bello, but thinking of his teacher's style, Alan can almost guess that her answer must be to break with force.

However, not everyone is Windsor Bello, so her answer is no matter.

Looking at the morning light gradually rising outside the window, Allen patted his face and told himself to cheer up. He temporarily left this unsolvable problem behind him, and now there are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. The imminent thing is to go to Violet Harbor, and Sean is almost ready to trade the cloth. Of course, this trip is a kind of introductory experience. It is not necessary to bring all the products, but only the best part of them.

As someone who has been to Violet Harbor before, Sean will act as a guide for this trip. As for the guards, Allen was in charge. Besides Allen, Adele, Regis and Willick also joined the team. Lucy did not go with her because she wanted to stay and crack the box of deceit. The four of them, together with the Shanwang troops who just finished the first training period, can say that the armed forces of this team are absolutely sufficient.

Allen kept the Flame Soldiers. In the last battle with Baku, Sur City lost a lot of fire/gunners. Although some recruits have been recruited, they are still undergoing training. With the lack of firepower supplemented by the flame warriors, coupled with Broy and others, the defensive strength of Sur City is still acceptable. This power is naturally to guard against Storm City, their neighbors are far from being friendly.

The departure time has been set for the day after tomorrow, and Allen is still full of expectations for this trip. Once the trade route between Suhr City and Violet Harbor is opened, it will undoubtedly be a qualitative improvement for the economy of Suhr City. So this time, including Sean, all the businessmen were very hardworking, as if they were united as one.

It was still early, and Allen came to the outskirts of the city with his clothes on. A section of the wall that was knocked over by Baku last time has been rebuilt. And under Edward's order, the guard wall has recently begun to be heightened. It can be seen that scaffolding has been erected on the eastern section of the guard wall. After the heightening, the guard wall will reach six meters, almost doubling in height. This is an upgrade of the defense facilities, and if the economy allows, the second and third upgrades will be carried out.

Just like the rising sun, the city began to glow with new vitality.

Allen was about to transfer to the barracks of the city defense team when suddenly his heart moved and he looked towards the countryside. In the countryside outside the city, the morning fog is gradually receding. In the hazy mist, a shadow appeared faintly. Suddenly, Allen saw a big snake coming out of the fog. It was a dangerous species that he had never seen before. The big snake's body was ringed with black and white scales, and there was a shield-shaped protrusion on its head, with a golden horn protruding from it. The edge of the shield bone of the big head is irregularly jagged, looking like a crown.

This strange snake kept swimming towards Suer City, Allen frowned, he didn't bring Qianjun with him. But with the devil's praise in hand, he is not afraid of any danger. It's just that a strange snake suddenly appeared in the countryside. It's been a long time since I've been in Sur City, and Alan hasn't heard of such a dangerous species nearby.

The strange snake stopped and opened its mouth to scream at Allen, as if it knew Allen. A strange feeling floated in Alan's heart, seeing the strange snake looking at him with its head tilted, its expression was very similar to that of Bai. He lost his voice: "Bai, is that you?"

The strange snake blinked, and the black and white eyes reflected Alan's appearance. In those snake pupils, Alan couldn't see any hostility, so he affirmed his guess.
