Let's drink to today

After this incident, Jamie no longer wanted to continue the social activities. He waited impatiently until the evening, and finally got the chance to meet.

Before this, he had already thought of a hundred ways to get angry, but the moment he walked in, his eyes involuntarily fixed on the right side of the linen-haired boy...

The blonde girl in an intricate lace dress looked at him curiously, her blue eyes were clear and flawless, pure and innocent, like an angel descended to the earth.

The tall woman with a pink and purple ponytail lowered her eyes tiredly, as if she would fall asleep in the next second. Her skin was very white, her eyelashes were long and thick, and her eyes were faintly black. Her temperament was cold, like an insurmountable barrier.

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his eyes glued to the bottle. It was top quality, top quality, of course he had to accept it!

Jamie immediately changed his mind and pointed to Orih and the mechanic: "As long as you send these two ladies to the Viscount, I think the Viscount will be happy to trade with you."

Ollie: "......"

Rambo: "......"

Roland: “…”

This guy is really talented.

Mason didn't know whether he should be disgusted with Jamie for making such a request, after all, he was the one who controlled the mechanic's vest. Or he handed a knife to the mad Rambo, and the brainworm bloodline burst into a frightening cold light in his eyes, as if he would chop off the opponent's head in the next second.

Before he could make a choice, Jamie's eyes fell on him and his eyes lit up again.

He hadn't noticed just now that this young master was actually quite good-looking. He wasn't stunning at first glance, but the more he looked at him, the more he liked it. Every part of him was just right. Both Abner and his wife were very good-looking, and with the blessing of the World Tree, they had a unique charm.

Jamie's attitude immediately became enthusiastic: "Of course, if you are willing to go to the Viscount's territory in person, I think the Viscount will be happy to see you. No matter how big the order is, it can be completed."

Mason: “…”

Everyone else: “….”

You really don't know how to write the word "death".

Jamie didn't know what he said, and was still thinking. A girl is cute and naive, and a woman is mysterious and cold. They will definitely satisfy Lord Burke after they are brought back. The Cross couple went to the west to provide support, and they might die there. By then, this territory will have a new owner, and this young master will definitely have nowhere to go, so he can be taken in.

He had already thought about the reward he would get after returning, and said in high spirits: "As long as you offer these two people, I can guarantee that the transaction will be successful. Master Mason, please make a decision quickly. You must know that Lord Burke controls the largest iron mine nearby, and you can only buy such high-quality iron ore from Lord Viscount's territory."

"I see."

The boy nodded, as if he had finally made a decision.

"Kill him."

"That's right, I will definitely do more for you when I get back...eh?"

Jamie was talking with a big smile on his face when he suddenly realized something. He subconsciously doubted his ears, wondering if he was so happy that he was hallucinating.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, the young man turned his head indifferently: "Kill him, Olihe, I leave it to you."

"Hey, Olihe understands!"

The blonde girl lifted her skirt, and a dense blood shadow rushed towards Jamie, who was so scared that he trembled all over and immediately wanted to use his blood vessels to leave. At the critical moment, he suddenly met Rambo's eyes, and his brain stopped with a sharp pain.

The blood shadow devoured his body, leaving only a thin piece of human skin. Ollie licked the corner of his lips and smiled as he moved closer to Rambo.

"Don't be angry, I have already killed him."

The middle-aged man looked unhappy. To Brainworm, attacking Orihir was more outrageous than attacking himself.

"New Town will not agree to such a request."

The young man raised his hands, and the rest of the people quieted down and looked at each other.

"I wanted to wait until the seal of the Earl of Ya'an was issued before dealing with this matter. Now that we have offended him, let's just not waste any time and defeat the Viscount directly."

Everyone responded: "I am willing to go and conquer him!"

"I want to, too. Rambo, can I go?"

"Yeah, no problem."

A noisy voice rang out, venting the dissatisfaction of the bloodline people. Mason raised his hand and said, "You guys just work hard, the mechanic and I will be there."

Only two people going?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and Rambo was the first to ask, "What are you going to do?"

The flax-haired boy smiled and said, "It's no big deal. The one to be feared is always the enemy, not me."

What does it take to capture a viscount's territory?

What may be difficult for others is not difficult for Mason.

He opened the door to the warehouse, where discarded machinery was piled. To any mechanic, this stuff would be complete scrap, but to Mason, it was cheap and usable material.

The woman with black pupils took a step forward, exhaled a long breath, and a bright golden light shone in her eyes.

She threw the pocket watch into the air, and the parts on the ground vibrated and hummed, as if cheering in response to something.

"It's time for you to wake up, little guys."

The mechanic waved his right hand, and countless machines rose into the air. The scraps were given new life at this moment, the engines hummed and burned, and hot flames overflowed from the exhaust ports.

Mechanical pipes twisted into different shapes, discarded parts were given new life, and giant beasts roared and emerged from the warehouse, hugging their queen.

【Mechanical Control】

With enough machines, she can create an invincible army!

The two of them sat firmly on top of the giant beast. The herd of steel beasts ran through the forest, gathering into a running torrent, startling countless birds in the dark night.

Viscount Burke's territory is adjacent to Cross's territory, so they can be said to be neighbors.

Although the two neighbors are close to each other, their economic situations are very different.

Viscount Burke lived in a luxurious castle. The castle was magnificent, with a beast-head fountain in the courtyard. Clear water flowed day and night, and a white jade stele stood in the center of the courtyard, with a pattern of a beautiful woman dancing carved on it, which became more beautiful under the moonlight.

This special kind of jade is hard and beautiful, making it a very popular luxury item. Of course, it is also very expensive.

Thanks to the existence of iron ore, Viscount Burke's territory is much richer than others. The roads in the village are paved with stones, and his castle is even more exquisite.

There are banquets here every night. Viscount Burke likes beauties, both men and women, so people who please him always send him all kinds of beauties. His latest love is a pair of twins, so his life is even more dissolute.

"That's it. It's better not to make a big fuss about it, or you won't be able to report it to the Count."

Mason muttered to himself, squinting his eyes at the brightly lit castle. Behind him, a team of steel eagles were hidden in the night, with only their eyes glowing red.

“Bang!!”

The heavy beast fell from the sky, smashing the bluestone floor in the garden. The colorful flowers and plants were crushed into the soil, and the servants screamed and ran away in panic.

"Enemy attack! Enemies are coming!"

"What the hell is that noise outside?"

Viscount Burke shook off the twins who were clinging to him and walked to the balcony with a gloomy face.

The moonlight squeezed out from the gaps in the clouds and fell on the hard scales of the giant beast.

The linen-haired boy stood on top of the mechanical beast, looking down at him.

Viscount Burke's heart skipped a beat, but he still managed to look indifferent: "Who are you? How dare you come and raid my territory?"

"Nice to meet you, Lord Burke. I'm Mason Cross."

Hearing the familiar last name, Burke's face twitched a few times, realizing that the other party was not friendly.

"It's already late at night. What brings you here so late? Is there something going on?"

"I'm here to give you a gift."

The young man answered in a refreshing voice. A thin piece of skin fell in front of the other party, making the Viscount's eyelids twitch wildly.

Even if it was just a skin, he could still recognize that it was Jamie. The Viscount's expression became very ugly and he shouted angrily.

"Are you provoking me by doing this...?"

In contrast to his angry expression, the Viscount lowered his hands and secretly turned the ring in the sleeves of his robe. The ruby ​​ring flashed a little.

At the same time, his figure flashed and he rushed in the opposite direction.

All wealthy nobles would buy a few mechanical beasts. Burke did not expect the mechanical beasts he bought at a high price to defeat the opponent, but only hoped to buy time to escape.

The two stone lions squatting at the door moved, their eyes glowing with mechanical red light. They roared deeply and spit out a column of blazing fire at the intruder. The high temperature melted the bluestone on the ground.

“Too weak.”

Mason shook his head in disappointment. With such strength, he dared to do evil. Wasn't he too ignorant of himself?

Following the boy's comments, the steel eagle swooped down, piercing the lion's core with its two claws.

Then, it spat out sharp icy spikes, which shattered the castle's glass.

Viscount Burke froze in his tracks, a thin streak of blood appeared on his face, and the ice spikes scraped past his hair and stabbed deeply into the ground behind him.

One strike, and only one strike.

The mechanical beast he bought at a high price was easily crushed and turned into scrap. What made the viscount even more desperate was that at this time, another mechanical giant eagle flew down. The giant eagle let go, and something fell heavily to the ground, rolling to the center of the square.

Viscount Burke's face was pale. Those were two powerful barons under his command. He had saved their lives before. They were very loyal. In addition to the mechanical beasts, these two barons were also his great support.

"These two guys were really good at running, but we managed to solve the problem."

The woman wrapped in a black coat raised her eyes, and the mechanical lion on the ground staggered to its feet and quickly reorganized under the desperate gaze of Viscount Burke.

The completely damaged parts were discarded, and the usable parts were reassembled into two lions, roaring at their former master.

There is no escape. All his trusted subordinates are dead, and the mechanical beasts he bought have also rebelled. Who can escape from so many mechanical beasts?

He couldn't help but shout: "You can't kill me, I am a viscount certified by Earl Ya'an. If you kill me, you will be challenging the majesty of Earl Ya'an!"

The strength of Count Ya'an is simply not something that these robots can stop. Unless this guy doesn't want to live, no one can touch him!

The young man smiled with his beautiful fangs: "I think even the Earl of Ya'an would not interfere in the challenge for the title."

"Impossible. I haven't heard of any baron promotions recently. And you're not even a baron, so how can you be qualified to challenge for a title?"

Viscount Burke denied it madly. If he really admitted the other party's words, then today would be his death. Few nobles who were challenged could survive. He didn't think he would be so lucky.

Mason remained indifferent to his defiance. He said nothing, but Burke understood everything.

For the nobility, there is nothing that cannot be bought with benefits.

Deep despair surged in his heart: "I agree to trade with you, as long as you withdraw your troops, I am willing to reduce the price by half! No, as long as you are willing to withdraw your troops, I am willing to give you some iron ore every month for free!"

"Sorry, it's too late."

The young man said calmly. The giant mechanical beast smashed down head-on. Burke roared, and a golden glow appeared on his body surface. He took the blow head-on. The dazzling light lasted for more than ten seconds, and the mechanic's eyes moved slightly. The giant mechanical beast swung its claws again, completely crushing the resisting light.

A few seconds later, dark red blood spread out from under the giant beast.

No one dared to approach here, and the whole castle was as silent as death.

Mason planned to send Rambo to take over later. After looking around for a while, he thought the jade tablet in the courtyard was good. Several mechanical beasts drilled into the soil and dug out the stone tablet and the soil together.

Several steel eagles seized the stone tablet and airlifted it to Xinzhen. The hard jade tablet fell from the sky, carrying mud and hitting the ground heavily. Several houses lit up their lights, but they soon turned them off again, probably because they thought nothing was wrong.

The linen-haired boy stood on top of the giant beast, looking down at the jade tablet glowing in the night. With a thought, the mantis-shaped giant beast swung its claws and easily scraped off the writing on the surface. The small green leaves swayed slightly, and dense roots emerged from the ground, wrapping around the bottom of the jade tablet and fixing it in the center of the square.

Mason raised his hand and wrote stroke by stroke. Crumbs fell off the hard jade tablet, revealing smooth traces of words.

"We can't ask everyone to be brave, but we must ensure there are brave people."

"We cannot force everyone to be good, but we must demand that evil be punished."

"We can't expect everyone to be selfless, but we have to maintain a basic bottom line."

"We came from the mist."

"We go to hope."

When he wrote this, the boy's hand paused slightly, and he wrote the following words forcefully.

At dawn, the people of Xinzhen woke up from their sleep. The sleepy children rubbed their eyes and crawled out of the quilt, mumbling and calling their mothers to wash their faces. But no one in the house responded.

The child came to her senses and turned around the house in confusion, but she really didn't see her family. She ran to the door and found her mother who was watching the lively scene.

The woman bent down, picked up the child, and gently asked her if she was hungry. The square was crowded with people, all looking at the jade tablet that appeared overnight.

During the discussion, the literate townspeople read out loud the last words on the stele. The resonant voices traveled far and wide, reaching everyone's ears.

"...Cheers, everyone."

"Let's drink to today!"
