121 – Meeting
To become a Blood-Meridian Warlock, one required the blood-meridian essence from a formidable life form as well as the corresponding secret method. In Turandot Subcontinent, it was practically impossible to find the corresponding secret method for the Great Warlock rank extraordinary life form Mo Fen Demonic Polar Bear. It was precisely because of this that Leimix would so readily give the Yang Feng Mo Fen Demonic Polar Bear’s corpse.
Black City, inside a room of a luxury hotel.
“Patriarch Daren, why do you want me to marry that waste Yang Feng?” Jessica said with some puzzlement: “If you want to form an alliance through marriage, then wouldn’t it be better for me to marry Steel City’s City Lord instead?”
Jessica was very precocious; she understood that her marriage was not for her to decide. She had chosen not to resist her fate, but rather questioned very rationally.
“Steel City’s City Master Yang Ye is a man that had reigned in his desires and wholeheartedly pursues knowledge and power. He never had a woman in these past two years, but rather hid himself in Black City and carried out all kinds of research. If you’d married such a man, than you’d be nothing more than a gra.s.s widow. You also wouldn’t wield any power with him there.”
“The waste Yang Feng is different. He’s greatly cherished by Yang Ye and likes women.
As long as you have control over him; then through him, you can obtain Steel City’s tremendous resources and wield tremendous power.” Leimix’s eyes flashed with a touch of wisdom and farsightedness as he said in a deep voice.
In these two years, Yang Feng’s embodiment of Yang Ye had all along been hiding in Black City without making a sound. Any conspiracy aimed at Yang Ye was as useless as a rat pulling at a turtle. The a.s.sa.s.sins who came to kill Yang Ye were all bombarded into sieves, before having their corpses suspended above the city wall as a public demonstration.
Under the circ.u.mstances where all the major forces were powerless, they could only choose to infer Yang Ye’s character through a variety of intelligence that they gathered. In these two years, Yang Ye hadn’t favored any woman. Those major forces could only infer that he wasn’t good with women. As for Yang Feng and his flower garden; such men were l.u.s.tful and could easily be corrupted by beauty.
Jessica thought for a moment, before silently nodding her head.
Leimix hesitated for a moment, before saying in a consultative tone: “Jessica, those level-2 mechanical battle golems are of tremendous importance to the family. Could you contribute five of them to the family? In my power as the Patriarch, I can slowly deviate the family’s resources towards you and pay you for the five mechanical golems within a century.”
Jessica cast a somewhat surprised look at Leimix. As the Patriarch of Fernandro Family, Leimix was always authoritative. And now he employed a consultative tone with her, which made her very stunned.
But Jessica was also very smart and quickly realized that her ident.i.ty was somewhat different hence forth. She was already the fiancée of Yang Feng who was the only kin of Steel City’s City Master Yang Ye. Even level-3 Warlocks were afraid of Steel City’s terrifying power; with the backing from such a terrifying power, she wasn’t someone that a trifling level-2 Warlock family’s Patriarch could slight. Just like an ordinary woman marrying into royalty; that woman wasn’t somebody that a minor official could slight.
Jessica looked at her grand father’s grand father’s grand father’s grand father, before exclaiming slightly within and nodding in agreement: “Alright!”
Fernandro Family had taken good care of this genius Jessica since small and supported her with a huge amount of resources; therefore, she had a very strong sense of ident.i.ty towards the family. Leimix also had a very good sense of propriety and only asked for five mechanical golems; naturally, she wouldn’t reject his request.
Only then did Leimix heaved a slight sigh of relief within. He rejoiced that Jessica wasn’t a person that becomes estranged after gaining power.
Narona City, as Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality’s capital, was originally a bustling huge city with a population of 1,500,000 people.
After the allied forces of the under world’s races invaded the surface world, the aristocrats and refugees unceasingly poured into this huge city from the four major princ.i.p.alities: Senarus Princ.i.p.ality, Poten Princ.i.p.ality, Nagyr Princ.i.p.ality and Domwether Princ.i.p.ality; somewhat overcrowding Narona City and giving rise to one after another refugee camps.
At the same time, as the shadow of the war hovered over Narona City, countless workers reinforced the city. Moreover, inner cities were constructed within Narona City, intended as the next line of defense after the outer city was captured.
In the distance, two kilometers from Narona City’s south city gate. Fernandro princ.i.p.ality’s Archduke and all of the ministers stood there surrounded by 20,000 Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality’s royal guards, while looking towards the distance.
“That waste Yang Feng is rather full of himself. He’s actually making so many Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality’s people wait for him.” Among a group of gorgeously dressed aristocratic youngsters, a pretentious young man with a handsome appearance said with great displeasure.
Jessica arched her eyebrows before saying harshly: “Elton, you moron, shut your trap. If you dare to once more insult Yang Feng, then I’ll tell father to teach you a lesson.”
Elton glared coldly before ridiculing: “Jessica, with his inferior level-1 soul apt.i.tude, of course Yang Feng is a waste. You haven’t yet married him and are already defending that waste of a fiancé? You’re a woman from the Fernandro Family. Yang Feng is the only kin of Fernandro Family’s greatest enemy, Steel City’s Yang Ye. You even dare to scold me because of an outsider? Are you still a member of Fernandro Family?”
Fernandro Family’s group of youngsters glared coldly at Jessica.
Yang Feng’s Steel City was established by stepping on Fernandro Family and seizing half of Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality’s territory.
Everyone in Fernandro Family was full of hatred towards Steel City as well as Yang Feng.
A beautiful woman with a head full of short blue hair and a sensual and sumptuous figure, who was about twenty three or twenty four years old and exuded traces of charm belonging to a mature woman said coldly: “Enough. After all, Yang Feng is supporting us. You shouldn’t insult him again.”
Elton’s eyebrows creased: “Helena jie–jie. No one had ever witnessed the battle prowess of Steel City’s mechanized infantry divisions. No matter how strong those golems are, they’re still but trifling Knight rank mechanical golems. Is it really necessary to give them such a grand welcome?”
The performance of Steel City’s mechanized infantry divisions was as of yet unknown; Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality’s younger generation didn’t believe that those knight rank golems could contend with the allied forces of the under world’s races. After all, it was a terrifying force that had destroyed more than a dozen of Southern States Coalition’s princ.i.p.alities in a row.
