Chapter 701 Whose Weakness Is It?
Chapter 701 Whose Weakness Is It?
The Longxinghui Building has 45 floors, including the flat-top hollow floors, with a total height of 238 meters. It is one of the tallest buildings in the Principality. It was designed by the Principality's master architect [Milan Tucci]. It is said that in order to consolidate the foundation, Master Milan Tucci not only boldly used a new type of alchemical iron, but also added a special formation to fix the four corners of the Longxing Building, which covers an area of 5,000 square meters.
This magnificent building is made of Wenti County's characteristic marble. Countless dragons carved from special marble are entwined layer by layer around the tallest building in the Dragon City. A peculiar building called Milantucci Corner also winds up along with those dragons. The lazy dragons all have their eyes drooped, their stone pupils are filled with sleepiness, their wings slowly droop down to the wall, their huge claws grab the corner of the wall, and then connect to a fire-breathing dragon on the side wall that is ready to go. The raised dragon head and the flaming stone carvings cover the windows on the entire wall, and the glass windows that are opened in the waves of flames are like crystal dew burned by flames, and they will make the flames sway under the sunlight.
Then, the end of the flames was another giant dragon flapping its wings. Around the third wall, the wings of the giant dragon flying from the sky covered the entire sky. The dragon's tail was connected to the flames, and the dragon's claws were ready to go. The dragon's head was raised and tilted upwards, and a red-painted dragon's eye stone sculpture filled the dragon's murderous aura. Then, the fourth dragon, looking down at life, finally appeared.
The dragon's wings were fully spread out, colorful and bizarre. The huge dragon's wings made of colored glass would turn this place into the center of the entire Wenti County, whether it was day or night. The magnificent top tower, the dragon looking down and spying on the world, had a panoramic view of the entire Wenti County. The dragon's eyes were no longer marble carvings, but huge prisms of condensed light. When the sun rose, the dragon's eyes were scorching and golden. When the sun left, they were cast in red gold. The moon! Rising and setting, it was clear by the moonlight, wandering around the world.
The four flat sculptures of dragons were completed in one go, using different materials, starting with a dragon crawling in sleepiness and ending with a dragon that stands proudly under the sky. The 2,300-meter tallest building in Wenti County seems to be naturally formed. The internal arches, large columns, inlaid partitions, window sills, and curtains reveal the author's ambition from top to bottom. All you can see is azure and white, colorful and dazzling. Although hundreds of years have passed, you can still see the glittering scene and Milantucci's half-life ambition as a master.
Milan Tucci did build a famous building that will go down in history, but now it belongs to the Longxing Society. As the saying goes, the owner of the building - the descendants of the builder of the building - sold this masterpiece to... Locke at a very low price.
It was a well-founded business transaction, and even the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not intervene to take it back. I just heard that Milantucci's descendants were missing a little finger, but I don't know if it is true.
A banquet will be held here today, inviting important figures from all walks of life in Wenti County to come and discuss an important event that has been discussed for many years, that is, the [Dragon Assembly] that the Principality has held every year.
The Dragon Race decides whether a child can go to the highest institution of learning for further study. Of course, this is also an opportunity that all the children who participate in the competition have fought hard for, and no one will give up this opportunity. The cruel thing is that a county can only produce one type of genius to study.
It is even more precious under cruelty. The Dragon Assembly was originally the way for the first king of the principality to select his personal guards. It has continued to this day and has become a powerful selection system for selecting talents to go to the strongest academy for further studies. However, because there are too many counties, only one and no more than thirty students of different genius types can be selected to qualify for further studies.
Chang Yufeng looked at Lilia who slowly turned around, and stood there waiting for her to leave. There seemed to be a strange light flashing in Lilia's eyes. Somehow, the boy stood there, also looking at her quietly.
Her dress must have been a luxurious custom-made one. As the third daughter of the Carolingian family, she could not be too ostentatious in public and had to be dignified because the people waiting in this hall were all nobles who would meet them every day. In their eyes, any daughter of a noble should be dignified and elegant, and dresses worthy of their status had to be custom-made, and husbands worthy of them were most likely among their peers in this hall.
It is possible that some people are here just for marriage proposal, they don’t care about age, they only care about the family business.
Lilimaren took her sister away, and Chang Yufeng followed the female attendant Lu Xinzhai and slowly walked up the white oak steps. The smell of the Qingle fruit here was not so strong after all, and the breath Chang Yufeng exhaled felt much cleaner.
The sound of a piano could be heard in the hall, and the melodious music made the sound of the piano soothing all of a sudden.
However, when Chang Yufeng walked a little further up, he could not hear clearly anymore. The soundproofing facilities here were very good. A person in a colorful portrait smiled at Chang Yufeng. It was a woman with curly ponytail, dignified and elegant, as if the words were specially created for her. The black dress was dancing beautifully in the painting, but the woman's eyebrows were always staring at Chang Yufeng. It was a pair of very charming eyes. The person who painted this picture must have seen the charming look of this woman, so that the brush and ink he used became bright, and even the black dress was illuminated by a strong light due to the direction of the light.
She blinked her eyes, and Chang Yufeng felt like he had to take a step back, otherwise he would be mesmerized by this woman.
Why would a painting like this be hung in the stairwell?
Seeing Chang Yufeng stop, Lu Xinzhai said jokingly: "This is a painting by Luo Ken, of his fiancée."
"Very beautiful." Chang Yufeng affirmed Locke's photography skills: "Very good photos."
"Women thirty years ago had such charm. It has been recorded." Lu Xinzhai led Chang Yufeng upwards. The higher they went, the more deserted the place became. Few people came to such a high floor. If they wanted to go up, they should fly up, not walk up.
"Lorcan doesn't have a wife... I think... I should call her grandma..." Chang Yufeng bid farewell to the painting. The painting has no name, but the charm of this grandmother-like woman must have been explosive at the time. No one knows why she became the fiancée of the big bad guy Locke...
If there were no preconceived notions, and Locke never married, perhaps people would be a little touched?
"You really should call him grandma. She was thirty-five at the time."
"Thirty-five? So beautiful..."
Few women could maintain such beauty at the age of thirty-five, and their charm in the eyes of their lovers could also make outsiders feel uneasy. Including Chang Yufeng, they all thought that this woman was indeed a little scary in her beauty.
Maybe the painted picture is too beautified...
However, it is undeniable that this person must be so beautiful in Locke's eyes.
"That guy Longxugong, I want to hold such an important meeting, but he actually kidnapped my brother?" A voice came from upstairs. It was obvious that the higher you go, the more important the place is.
Loken's voice?
Chang Yufeng was somewhat surprised and doubtful. He unconsciously walked towards the wall because Lu Xinzhai was also walking towards the wall, ready to make way.
"Yes, the Third Master kicked someone to death." A man walked down beside Locke, bowing and not daring to look up.
"Isn't it enough to just pay some money? Why don't you let him out?"
Locke grabbed the collar of the suit next to him and put it in place. Someone followed him and straightened the wrinkles on his back. In fact, the suit had no wrinkles at all because it was brand new.
“This time, it seems that he needed to sign a guarantee letter, but San Ye didn’t sign it, so Captain Kraft didn’t let him go, which delayed him.”
The man lowered his head and saw Lu Xinzhai, who held his head high and showed no fear. He also walked to the handrail obediently, but they had not met yet, but were one above and one below. He made way in advance, allowing Locke to look down and see Lu Xinzhai coming up.
"Signature?" Locke glanced at Lu Xinzhai suspiciously. Lu Xinzhai also looked up and stared at Locke, telling Locke that he had noticed this "looking down from above" observation.
"He didn't sign it?"
"No."
"Let that kid Kraft sign for him. He can't sign anyway. If he leaves his name, any little boy in the Imperial Household Department can copy it." Locke walked down and passed by Lu Xinzhai. There was no need for them to communicate.
However, when Locke glanced at the person behind her carelessly, Chang Yufeng felt as if she was stung by something. She felt physically uncomfortable and twisted her body awkwardly.
In Locke's eyes, this is a symbol of fear.
"Wait, Headmistress Charlotte Watson."
Locke did not look back, but stood on the stairs and called out to Lu Xinzhai.
Chang Yufeng thought Locke would come back, because he and Locke had actually met before. Locke threw him into the dungeon of the Longxinghui building. Although he came out now, it was only three or four hours ago. It was impossible for Locke not to recognize Chang Yufeng.
Chang Yufeng turned around and looked at him. He fully felt the cleverness of this old fox Locke who could recognize people at a glance. Locke had some doubts, but did not turn around to confirm.
This was a bit strange, but on second thought, the person brought to see Lady Rose by Hall Chief Charlotte Watson could not be the child thrown into prison. Could it be that he looked like the child? Even if he was, so what? He had no way to detain him. So he skipped this action and the possible surprise. If it was true, he would be very nervous. It was not because he had thrown a child into prison, but because he was confused. He wondered how Lady Rose knew about this matter or intervened in this matter...
"What is it, Ser Loken?"
Lu Xinzhai stood on a high staircase, looking straight ahead at the staircase.
The atmosphere here was very subtle, and Chang Yufeng also turned around.
"Nothing. Say hello to Lady Rose for me. She doesn't seem happy." Locke walked downstairs, and the people following him also walked down slowly.
He didn't wait for Lu Xinzhai to answer, and Lu Xinzhai frowned.
"I will convey your meaning." Lu Xinzhai said to himself and started moving forward again. Chang Yufeng also felt that Locke was different.
He handled things calmly and had seen many storms. Chang Yufeng clearly saw Locke's eyes looking at him. He just glanced at him, and he didn't believe that Locke didn't recognize him. Instead, he was a little nervous, otherwise it might be a terrible confrontation.
call……
Chang Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief instead.
"how?"
"It's okay. I thought I would put pressure on him, but I ended up being the one who was put under pressure."
Chang Yufeng followed behind Lu Xinzhai and saw the mural on the wall again. It was still the same woman, but she was no longer charming. Instead, she was truly dignified, motionless, and gently blinking her big eyes.
This colored portrait is much worse overall and is probably a work from memory. The woman in the memory no longer winks at him seductively, but looks at him dignifiedly, as if she has really become his wife.
"You are still too young..." A voice brought Chang Yufeng back to reality, because Victoria was standing at the intersection on this floor with her hands on her hips angrily, snorted, and kicked the paper on the ground.
That's probably a document.
Locke also said that Victoria was in a bad mood.
"After killing someone, the eyes and temperament will indeed be different. Locke's bloodiness almost overshadows everyone here." Lu Xinzhai helped Chang Yufeng out of the predicament.
"Even you can't understand Locke, Aunt Victoria?"
"You can try calling me sister. Even though your godhood may be greater than mine, you are still a new god after all, and your mother and I are still friends." Victoria was like a punching bag, venting anger. Chang Yufeng even felt that Victoria was going to vent her anger on him.
Her red dress was so bright that even if you saw her many times, you would still think Victoria was no different from an ordinary noble. But she was uniquely powerful, the daughter of an ancient god of the principality, and after coming down to earth, she also controlled the lifeline of the country.
"Sister Victoria." Chang Yufeng was very sweet, so he just called her that. He didn't feel embarrassed at all, because it wasn't flattery, but a kind of praise.
According to age, it’s not wrong to call her sister.
"I'm so angry. This Locke treats me as an ordinary human being. I really want to give him a good shock. Throw him down from the 20th floor." Victoria snorted and kicked the door open with her foot.
"What's wrong?" Chang Yufeng followed in, while Lu Xinzhai stood at the back, took a look around to make sure it was safe before entering the room.
"What's wrong? Haha... isn't it your old look that ruined everything?" Victoria sat down on the sofa and lay down without any hesitation.
"What?" Chang Yufeng avoided the question and stood behind the sofa. His height was as tall as the sofa.
"Lorcan is going to acknowledge Lin'er as his youngest daughter. He will announce it without telling Lin'er at the pre-dragon conference, and he is likely to force your Lin'er to participate in the dragon conference and beat Holby."
What Victoria said in one breath stunned Chang Yufeng. He was stunned when he heard the first piece of news.
"What!" Chang Yufeng was a little bit unbelievable. He ran to the front of the sofa in shock and looked at Victoria lying there, dumbfounded: "Why? I thought Locke was going to threaten someone with Lin'er. Why did he acknowledge her as his little daughter?"
"That's right. Isn't this a threat to me? I don't know where he got the news from, but he thought Lin'er was my weakness, so he brought Lin'er here from far away." Victoria sat down and took out a small fan.
It opened with a whoosh.
"No matter how you put it...it shouldn't be my weak spot, right?"
Victoria's mouth twitched under the fan and she fell down again.
“If it weren’t for Yu Su’s three souls, who would be willing to be blackmailed here?”
"Lin'er...will you listen to Locke? Why?"
"You have to ask that little girl Lin'er... I don't know. But you can imagine that two fists are no match for four hands, and Lin'er is not a girl with enough fighting skills... It's natural for her to be threatened by others."
Victoria looked at the ceiling and saw Chang Yufeng's anxious face approaching her.
"What should I do?"
Ah? What should I do? Whose weakness did Locke find?
First, Victoria doesn’t care about Lin’er, but Yu Suo. This is the foreshadowing from the previous part. Lin’er, Chen Lin of the empire, the princess hit by the falling meteor, and even the Lin’er with a white cat are all the three souls of Yu Suo, but there is one more soul here, so there is still foreshadowing...
Second, Locke thought he had controlled Victoria, but in fact, Lin'er didn't know Victoria and didn't care about her, so he grasped Chang Yufeng's weakness. He made a wrong move here, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Victoria was entangled with Lin'er because Chang Yufeng was there, and this time Chang Yufeng had his memories, so he understood her affairs very well, and she couldn't kill Lin'er (of course, she could do it).
