Chapter 325 "Crystal Gold Armor"
After Li Xiang swept back and forth in Africa for more than ten times, he crossed the Mediterranean Sea, came to the European continent, and headed straight for Irene's castle.
This ancient castle is located in the Khodor Mountains, which is quite remote. It was built more than a thousand years ago, but has been renovated several times. After Irene awakened her supernatural powers, many alchemical elements have been added, making it even more mysterious and magnificent.
Irene lives here alone, with the only companions being various alchemical puppets. This young girl can stand the loneliness.
Of course, she also regularly goes to big cities for shopping and vacation to maintain contact with the outside world and not be out of touch with society.
When Li Xiang came, Irene was writing and drawing in the study. Li Xiang appeared behind her quietly and took a closer look. It seemed that she was designing a magic alchemy ship.
"Good painting!" Li Xiang couldn't help but praise.
"Oh my God, Mr. Armor, can you say hello next time you come in?" Irene was startled, but then she was filled with endless joy and hugged him.
"Have you forgotten that I'm the world's number one thief? What thief would say hello before entering a house?" Li Xiang joked.
"Dear Mr. Armor, what do you like in my castle?" Irene raised her head and asked deliberately.
Li Xiang felt her passion and naturally said, "Who else could it be except the most beautiful girl in Europe, the most beautiful girl in the world?"
"Are you the magic mirror? Please tell me again, who is the most beautiful girl in Europe?" Irene put her arms around Li Xiang's neck, pressed her delicate body against him, and twisted her body gently.
"Of course it is Irene de Merovinga, the most beautiful girl in Europe." Li Xiang repeated, as he wished.
"Hmm..." Irene murmured softly, immersed in Li Xiang's praise. She never thought about why Li Xiang said "all of Europe" instead of "the whole world".
After some tenderness, Li Xiang said, "I brought you something."
"What?" Irene asked curiously.
Then, Li Xiang took her to the warehouse next to the alchemy laboratory. With a shake of his hands, he released large chunks of high-purity metals from the warehouse in the other dimension. There were about thirty kinds, many of which were rare metals, totaling more than three hundred tons. Fortunately, Irene's warehouse was large enough, otherwise it would not be able to hold all the metals.
Irene is proficient in alchemy and has a great demand for metals. She happened to need to purchase several kinds of metals again recently, and the money Li Xiang delivered this time was like timely relief.
However, although it is a necessity, Irene couldn't help but tease, "Mr. Armor, other people give roses when they go on a date, but you give so many pieces of iron."
Is this a straight man of steel? Li Xiang also felt that it was not interesting enough, so he smiled slightly, took out another large piece of gold, cast "Crystal Vein Armor", and condensed it into a large bouquet of golden roses, which he gave to Irene.
There are ninety-nine golden roses in this bouquet, each of which is lifelike and golden. Each petal is only a few tenths of a millimeter thick, with translucent feather-like edges, and the flower stems are spiral golden vines with "barbs".
"Isn't it too vulgar, respected Mr. Armor?" Irene was delighted but still a little reserved.
"Do you want it or not? If not, I'll throw it away."
"Yes, yes, of course." There was no way Irene would let Li Xiang throw it away, so she quickly snatched it away and couldn't let it go. This golden rose will not wither for hundreds of years, symbolizing their everlasting love.
"You can also control metal?" Irene asked.
"No, it's just crystal vein weapon, a kind of earth-based supernatural power." Li Xiang's crystal vein weapon actually has certain "shortcomings". If the raw material is crystal ore, the success rate of condensing extraordinary items will be the highest, but if certain metals are added to it, the higher the proportion of the metal, the lower the probability of producing extraordinary items.
If you use pure metal to condense extraordinary items, the success rate will be even lower.
However, metal mines are also one of the underground mineral veins, so Li Xiang is very good at purifying metals and changing their form. But when it comes to the extraordinary realm, I feel it is lacking. Maybe it’s because it’s an earth-related ability.
Li Xiang came from afar, so Irene naturally had to welcome him.
Irene brought Li Xiang to the restaurant, and the two chatted for a while. Soon, various authentic French dishes came up one after another: snails baked with garlic butter and herbs, Gillardeau oysters, beef stewed in red wine, confit duck breast, baguette, French cheese, onion soup, fruit salad... all served by alchemy servants.
These magic servants all have metal bodies and very flexible joints. They can be understood as classical robots forged by alchemy, with a punk style. They are two different systems from modern artificial intelligence technology robots.
Since it was a candlelight dinner, French red wine was a must. Tonight they opened a large bottle of Lafite.
There are actually many series under Lafite, just like there are many series under Penfolds. The most famous and high-end Lafite is naturally Grand Lafite, which is the wine produced by Château Lafite Rothschild.
There is big Lafite, and of course there is petite Lafite, and then there is Ducharmellon, Le Vangier, Legend series Bordeaux and the like, depending on the different wineries.
Because Lafite has more than one winery. In addition to the four castles in Bordeaux, France, it has also acquired wineries in Argentina and Chile, and bought land in the Penglaiqiu Mountain production area in China to build the Longdai Winery. It is worth mentioning that Longdai is the only winery built brick by brick by the Lafite Group.
There is no doubt that Lafite is well-known. In China, almost everyone has heard of Lafite, but not necessarily Penfolds. This shows that Lafite's status in China is definitely higher than Penfolds.
Penfolds is popular among Chinese people because 407 is often seen in business banquets and gift giving, and the name is quite pleasing.
Irene and Li Xiang drank a bottle of Lafite produced in 2010. Like 1982, this was also an amazing year, but Li Xiang didn’t know much about red wine, so Irene shared some of her experiences with him.
In fact, Irene's family castle also had a wine-making workshop in the past, but after her parents passed away, no one took care of it anymore and the wine-making workshop gradually became abandoned.
Under Irene's guidance, Li Xiang, as a transcendent, actually has a very sensitive sense of taste, and he also tasted the unique flavor of this wine, with rich black fruit and chocolate flavors, and a slightly soft texture.
When Li Xiang talked about the magic alchemy ship designed by Irene, Irene rolled her eyes at him and said, "Mr. Armor, it's all because of you."
"Because of me?"
"Weren't you the one who warned countries around the world that there would be a huge flood in two years?"
Li Xiang smiled slightly. He naturally had nothing to hide from Irene, so he nodded and said, "Yes, you should also make preparations early. Well, your castle is not afraid of floods, but you must have sufficient supplies. In addition, in terms of safety, there may be refugees coming here to seek shelter."
Irene nodded and said, "So I plan to build a magic alchemy ship, and if I can save some people by then, then I will save some people."
Li Xiang gave a thumbs up and said, "You are a kind girl."
The two drank and chatted while the alchemy servants kept bringing them delicious food. Irene actually ate very little, and most of it went into Li Xiang's stomach.
After having a good meal and a good drink, Irene smiled and said, "Mr. Armor, you have given me so many gifts, so I will give you a gift as well."
"Looking forward to it. It's my honor." Li Xiang nodded slightly.
The candlelight flickered in the silver-gilt chandelier. The silk cushion made a slight friction sound when Irene stood up. Her fingertips brushed across the back of Li Xiang's hand, and her crystal nails reflected a honey-like luster in the candlelight: "Wait for me a moment." The ending tone was as lingering as the mist of the Seine River. When she turned around, the iris perfume wrapped in the golden wavy hair brushed across Li Xiang's nose.
On the twelve-meter-long oak dining table, a bottle of 2010 Lafite shone with a garnet luster in a Baccarat crystal glass. Li Xiang tapped the gilded table knife with his fingers, and the purple crystal inlaid on the handle flickered with the rhythm. Suddenly, he heard the crisp sound of high heels tapping on the floor in the corridor.
“Tick, tick, tick~”
A stunning beauty with blonde hair, blue eyes, a black lace butterfly eye mask, a snow-white body, and a sexy flamenco dance dress appeared at the door.
"Where is the gift?" Li Xiang asked.
Irene raised her chin slightly: "That's me."
The long skirt swayed with her catwalk, and the cobalt blue pupils under the lace eye mask flowed with the gold of candlelight, full of burning heat. The Western beauty walked towards Li Xiang, and suddenly stretched out her long legs. Her toes painted with crimson nail polish hooked the velvet chair back: "Do you like this packaging?"
Li Xiang held her ankle in the air, and stroked the golden griffin flapping its wings on the anklet with his fingertips: "You need to open the gift in person to know its value."
The velvet chair back suddenly fell over, and Irene fell into Li Xiang's arms. The straps of her lace blindfold loosened during the movement, revealing her eyes that were as hazy as the morning mist on Montmartre.
"Do you want to inspect the goods now?" She bit Li Xiang's collar button and pulled it gently, using her pearly teeth to help him undress.
Li Xiang reached out and gently pulled her skirt, and the silk fabric slid down her ivory skin...
On the dining table, an unfinished bottle of 2010 Lafite was knocked over, leaving deep red stains on the tablecloth...
It suddenly started to rain heavily outside, with rumbling thunder and dazzling lightning from time to time, and in the castle restaurant, a "storm" was also taking place.
When the thunderstorm dispersed and the moonlight parted the dark clouds and shone into the restaurant again through the stained glass, the condensed wax tears on the gilded candlesticks on the dining table happened to drip onto Irene's scattered golden hair, like a layer of honey coating the morning mist of the Seine.
Irene's fingertips slid across the silver fork, and the fork tip suddenly softened into a strand of liquid silver: "Dear Li, you have given me a whole new understanding of alchemy..."
Her cobalt blue eyes reflected the dancing candlelight, her earlobes turned coral color due to excitement, her body was trembling, still immersed in the afterglow of what had just happened, but she was extremely surprised in her heart.
Li Xiang had just taught her a strange method from the mysterious East called "Starry Sky Concerto·Luanming Jiushao". As a result, she jumped two levels and became a fourth-level transcendent.
She was so excited that she couldn't describe it. She couldn't even imagine that having sex with the most powerful man in the world would give her such an unexpected reward.
This man is truly a gift from God to her, the most precious gift in her life.
"What are your two new superpowers?" Li Xiang practiced dual cultivation with her, so he naturally knew that Irene had condensed two new spiritual power vortexes and created two new superpower inscriptions.
"Carry me to the bedroom and I'll tell you slowly. I feel so weak now that I can't get up."
Li Xiang picked her up like a princess and walked slowly towards the bedroom.
After resting for more than an hour, Irene finally recovered a little. At the same time, Li Xiang also learned about her two new superpowers.
The first is "matter deconstruction", which can decompose the metal it touches into basic particles. It lasts for 30 seconds and is more helpful to improve her alchemy. She believes that from now on, her alchemy will have a qualitative leap.
The second is "energy infusion", which can convert one's own spiritual power into electrical energy and store it in specific metals. The current reserves are equivalent to the power output of a medium-sized power station for 10 minutes, approximately between 5,000 and 10,000 kilowatt-hours.
Having this ability will also help improve alchemy, which is equivalent to a technological iteration. The alchemical puppets produced can use electrical energy, which is more advanced than previous works and is more conducive to the integration of modern technology and traditional alchemy.
"Every cell in my body is singing now... I can't wait to go to the lab to do experiments, but before that..." Irene suddenly jumped on the horse, her lips brushed against Li Xiang's earlobe, and her electric breath drew tiny arcs in the air.
Li Xiang couldn't help but be surprised. The Western girl was indeed "amazingly powerful". In that case, I won't be polite.
The style of the Western girls is different from that of Yao Yao and the other two girls, and also different from that of Chiba Xuexiu, which is quite exciting.
Her abilities are also quite special. Li Xiang takes advantage of her strengths and makes up for her weaknesses, and his own spirit and abilities are also improved.
The biggest gain is the "Crystal Vein Armament".
Well, now it should be called "Crystal Gold Armor".
Irene's ability to manipulate metals complemented Li Xiang's "Crystal Vein Armament", allowing him to have some "alchemical abilities", but it still belonged to the "Earth's World Record".
When Irene went to the laboratory to make a new alchemical puppet, Li Xiang also tried out his skills. He used 9999 pure gold to activate the "Crystal Gold Armor", and soon he made a gold bracelet of extraordinary quality.
This gold bracelet is of fifth grade and was successful in one go. Although it only has one extraordinary attribute, it is still quite good.
Its extraordinary attribute is the "golden force field": when attacked, it can activate a layer of golden particle matrix shield around it, and deflect the direction of energy attacks below the fifth level, thereby resolving them.
Li Xiang had enough gold in his warehouse, and he became interested. He condensed nine gold ornaments in one breath, including bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, etc. Six of them were extraordinary items, ranging from the fourth to ninth level. Together with the previous one, that is to say, seven out of the ten items were extraordinary items.
If it were in the past, he could use the "Crystal Vein Armament" to condense gold jewelry, but there would be at most one or two extraordinary items among ten pieces, and sometimes there would not be any. Naturally, his current success rate is extremely satisfactory.
Li Xiang has been a little self-indulgent recently and often feels guilty, thinking that he is too bad. However, it is only now that he realizes that he is not a complete scumbag, but that this kind of dual cultivation really has great benefits.
Not to mention the other girls, their strength has increased by several levels, and his own spirit and supernatural powers are also constantly improving and enhancing.
Compared with the gains in strength and enhancement of abilities, Li Xiang felt that being a scumbag was not so unacceptable.
After helping Irene consolidate her realm, Li Xiang continued to plunder in Europe.
Not only did they plunder Europe's rich supplies, they also looted several US military bases in Europe (including some naval bases in the Mediterranean), and obtained a variety of weapons.
It happened that a Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier passed through the Mediterranean Sea and was spotted by Li Xiang, so the aircraft carrier changed hands. It includes A1B nuclear reactor, F-35C carrier-based fighter, supporting AN/APG-81 radar and Pratt & Whitney F135 engine, 3 E-2D early warning aircraft, as well as some frigates, destroyers, supply ships, various air defense and ground-to-ground missiles, etc.
Although many of the weapons of the United States are no longer the most advanced on the planet, they are still among the best and are very good to use as disposable consumables. For example, in the future, let Jiang Caier invade all these ships, radars, missiles, and fighter jets and turn them into loyal unmanned equipment to resist the invasion of space monsters, or at least kill some of them.
These things are stored in a separate area in Li Xiang's warehouse. Although nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are equipped with nuclear reactors, they are tightly protected and will not cause radiation to other materials in the warehouse.
Moreover, this warehouse is somewhat special. It will remain the same as when you go in. The fuel will not run out after staying in it for seven or eight years.
The world was shocked again because this was the second aircraft carrier lost by the United States, and both were the most advanced ones.
Someone joked: "The mysterious armored warriors are selecting the best products. The Eisenhower deployed in the Red Sea is not far away. With the speed of the armored warriors, they can arrive in an instant, but the armored warriors just don't like it."
Someone said, "Of course not. The USS Eisenhower is just a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that was commissioned in 1977. How could such an antique and broken piece of junk be in the eyes of Armor Man?"
Many people in Europe were secretly gloating.
"You said before that you would make Europe a fat sheep to be slaughtered. Now you are getting your retribution, right?"
"Well, although Europe was looted, it is now an 'honor' to have goods looted, but it is a shame to have military bases looted."
The United States quickly refuted the rumor: "We have not been looted, our aircraft carrier is still in good condition, please watch the VCR if you don't believe it."
So, the captain of the aircraft carrier posted a video on his personal social media account, which showed the scene of the carrier-based aircraft taking off by catapult.
The three Baltic idiots also jumped out to speak out, especially the Big One. After hearing that the mysterious armored man was causing trouble in Europe again, his spokesperson was dismissive and expressed strong ridicule by publicly raising his middle finger.
"What kind of international joke are you playing at? How could a Ford-class aircraft carrier be looted? That is the most powerful military force in the world!"
"Don't brag too much about the mysterious armored man. Maybe he has some extraordinary powers, but he is definitely no match for modern high-end weapons."
"The mysterious armored man will never dare to come to our country. If he does, we will definitely use our most powerful fighter jets and the most powerful armored forces to encircle and suppress him, so that he cannot leave alive."
The Baltic Three Idiots were waving flags and cheering on the side, and the video released by the US captain was extremely realistic, with a full sense of picture and all the details in place. At the beginning, it really fooled people.
However, someone soon revealed that this was a video taken before Christmas last year. Because a Chinese netizen posted this video eight months ago, and it had a lot of traffic at that time.
Netizens around the world were shocked: "..."
Then, another video leaked from a mysterious channel. It was shot by a high-definition satellite in the sky. At that time, Li Xiang encountered the aircraft carrier in broad daylight, and they started to fight when they met on a narrow road.
Although the high-definition satellite footage is not particularly clear, after all, it is taken from the sky and the aircraft carrier looks only the size of a palm. However, the scene of how the mysterious armored man invaded and threw everyone on the ship into the sea like dumplings still brings endless shock to people.
Finally, the entire aircraft carrier fleet disappeared, and the mysterious armored man also disappeared in a flash.
It was also the same account that revealed that the speed of the mysterious armored man was suspected to have exceeded Mach 20.
The top leaders of the United States were naturally furious, but they could only be angry and had to suppress their anger.
