The Devil Inside

Han Solo did not refuse. He also wanted to talk to Butler Ross about the progress of the reorganization of the Fate Weaver Society. There was no news for so long.

Chapter 163 #162 First Generation (Two in One)

Sturgeon Town, the original site of the Iron Wave Corps' forward base.

This is a very simple military station, with rows of tiled houses lined up side by side. It was originally the dormitory for the soldiers. At this time, the paint is dry and cracked, the doors and windows are closed with dust, and weeds are growing in the cracks between the black tiles.

Under the sunlight, a meticulously dressed man in a pure white captain's uniform stood in the middle of the playground, breathing in and out.

There was a surge of bright red air between opening and closing the mouth, and even the air was nitrogen and argon, with an extremely high temperature.

He is—

"Lorenzo the Fire Eater".

He has short brown hair, brown eyes, handsome facial features, and particularly strong eyebrows.

His life was full of ups and downs. At the age of 20, he was a highly anticipated rising star in the world's most powerful country, Elzlia. However, he was sent to this long-abandoned forward base as a "garrison" and stayed there for ten years.

At thirty, he was more silent than before.

"Enzo."

A voice sounded in the back of my head.

Lorenzo turned around and saw a young woman with a great figure. He was a little surprised, but his reaction was very restrained: "What a rare guest."

Enzo is Lorenzo's nickname.

The young woman in front of him had a very good relationship with Lorenzo in the past. She was Lorenzo's superior, and was also Isabella, who was one of the "Empire's Vanguards".

Isabella was wearing a court dress, a wide-brimmed hat, and a black veil, revealing only her fiery red lips.

She smiled: "Is that all?"

Lorenzo looked at her, still calm: "It's been a few years since we last met."

".——Don't you know what happened to me?"

"What's wrong?"

Lorenzo really didn't know.

Isabella was shocked.

"You really are——" "-You are oblivious to what is happening outside. Well, let me tell you that the establishment of the Imperial Vanguard has been abolished, and the headquarters has taken over all functions. You know that the headquarters and I are incompatible. After I lost power, I was immediately targeted and have been idle ever since."

"Is it?"

Isabella's perception is very sharp.

Lorenzo's reaction seemed to remain unchanged, still so calm, but Isabella had an inexplicable feeling. She felt that Lorenzo was no longer "cold" and he seemed relieved.

This was not just groundless speculation on her part.

When Lorenzo was just demoted, Isabella was very anxious and saddened by the loss of a talented person in the kingdom. She traveled thousands of miles to visit Lorenzo many times just to encourage him and hope he would not be depressed.

Each time, Lorenzo responded coldly, seemingly not caring much.

Isabella didn't understand at first. She just thought that Lorenzo was too shocked and his personality became eccentric, so she came less often.

Later, when the Imperial Vanguard was abolished, many kind-hearted people came to visit her and tried to encourage her.

At that time, when facing her old friend who held a high position and real power, Isabella did not feel "warmth" but only felt "embarrassed".

That's the kind of—

Even though he is covered in bruises and broken, he still holds his head high and pretends that nothing is wrong, trying to be strong.

After seeing the guests off, I tossed and turned in the night.

Isabella suddenly thought of Lorenzo, and it was at that moment that she finally understood.

Humans are strange creatures.

When I’m sad, I want to be alone to lick my wounds and be quiet, but I also need someone to see through my vulnerability and offer care.

However, if someone really comes, they may not give you a good look.

Self-esteem and sense of honor always drive people to make some tough disguises to cover up the truth.

Isabella didn't say much, just asked: "The selection of teammates for the brave Leila has begun, do you know?"

Lorenzo nodded: "I've heard about it."

"Are you going to participate?"

“I only play for Erzliya.

"..—The situation has come to this, and you still can't face the reality? Enzo, after that incident, you have no chance! Come with me and try to become Leila's teammate. Follow the hero to make some achievements, and we can get no less than before!"

Isabella thought she had made herself clear.

But Lorenzo still shook his head: "If you need a ship, you can come to me. Sturgeon Town is occasionally attacked by pirates. I helped the townspeople fight them off a few times and I have some influence here."

"Okay! I'll let you know if I need to. Until then, can I stay at your place?"

"There are plenty of empty rooms here, as long as you don't mind."

Isabella certainly wouldn't mind.

The Imperial Scouts are not the ones who sit in offices. They have been to all sorts of places, risking their lives, hunting down criminals.

It has a roof and is in excellent condition.

Without hesitation, she dragged her suitcase and found an empty room.

Lorenzo cleared his mind of distractions and continued to practice his breathing exercises.

"Arrived at the world's highest town, Sturgeon Town!"

A little earlier.

Han Solo and his party arrived at Sturgeon Town, and Lyra wore a fully enclosed helmet but no armor.

To my eyes, she looked like a pervert, with a skirt below her neck and an iron barrel above her neck.

She was in extremely high spirits. The other supporting staff set off early, leaving only Han Solo, Rachel and Viola with her - what a dream lineup. If only they could embark on the adventure like this, with everyone familiar with each other, wouldn't the team atmosphere be great?

Unfortunately, no.

Viola is not very interested in her brave teammates, and she sets the ambition to become the night's deputy.

Becoming Laila's teammate is of very limited help and may even be counterproductive.

The reason for coming here is just to borrow and return. The ancient country still needs to rely on Han Solo.

A standard brave team consists of four people.

No one had a good idea of who to ask for the remaining one, but if Han Solo asked, Monica would not refuse.

However, Monica had already achieved success and fame, and after the crisis in Arendelle, her reputation was even higher. Being Leila's teammate was actually a detriment.

Han Solo also doesn't want her to show up in public, so such a useful subordinate must be kept to himself.

This issue is not urgent. If there is no suitable one, just start the adventure with a team of three. A team of four is just a common practice and not a mandatory requirement.

"Hmm - not bad."

Because he had intelligence in advance, Han Solo chose a temporary headquarters next to the Iron Wave Forward Base.

Viola placed her suitcase on the living room table and looked around at the interior.

Clean and tidy, elegant.

Han Solo walked to the window and looked down. On the playground of the forward base, a brown-haired man was communicating with a woman in a court dress.

"Who is that?"

Tie Tong Leila walked over to him and also lowered her head.

Han Solo couldn't stand it anymore and pulled off her helmet: "Still wearing it, is it fun?"

With her long pink hair scattered, Leila smiled and said, "It feels really interesting that no one recognized me!"

As one of the five heroes of the time, Leila is naturally very famous.

But in today's world, there is no Internet or forums, and the photos in the newspapers are all in black and white. If you are not someone who has specifically looked at her, it is actually difficult to recognize Leila.

She keeps wearing this helmet, which can only be said to be because she wants to wear it.

Han Solo pointed at two people on the playground in the distance and asked, "You are a brave warrior with a third eye, and you can see through the marks of others. Can you see the marks of those two people clearly?"

"Ok?"

Leila narrowed her eyes, and ripples appeared in her eyes: "Too far."

""Really?"

Han Solo felt a little regretful.

Leila changed the subject and continued, "It was too far away before, but after you scolded me, my holy sword was upgraded and the mark was also upgraded. Now, I can see it clearly."

"Don't breathe so hard when you speak next time, and I didn't scold you!"

"Should we reveal their engravings? That seems a bit unfair."

Orbital.

Han Solo slammed his helmet on his hand, gradually losing his patience: "Hurry up and tell me!"

"That man, the seal is legendary. I have never seen this seal, but it is of very high quality.

It feels like a combination of fire and some other ability, but I’m not sure for now.”

Legendary Mark?!

Rachel and Viola looked sideways and moved closer.

For a moment, a strange fragrance filled the air.

The window was not big to begin with, and Leila and Han Solo standing side by side had already blocked most of it. Rachel and Viola stood behind him, one on each side, leaning forward, which was really enjoyable, and Han Solo was very happy.

Viola took a look and said, "Legendary seals are not common. Who is this person? I have never heard of his name."

Rachel knew a thing or two: "He should be Lorenzo, a former member of the 'Imperial Vanguard'. An elder in my family was very interested in him and visited him many times, wanting to take him in as a guest, but he never agreed and returned all the gifts he gave him."

Because of this, Rachel, the elder, was ridiculed by other family members for a long time.

That's how Rachel found out about this.

"The Imperial Vanguard? Haven't they been disbanded?"

Viola smiled and responded casually.

Legendary engraving, indeed.

But in her opinion, she was not good enough - her mark was only better than the legendary level.

Han Solo asked, "What's the other mark?"

Leila narrowed her eyes. "That woman's rare mark. It should be the 'Golden Scale Fairy'. It's a pretty powerful mark."

Golden Scale Fairy.

This ethereal-sounding engraving has nothing to do with cultivation.

This engraved "token" is very ferocious, with a demon covered with brass scales. After resonating with it,

It can cast ice magic, gain extremely powerful physical killing capabilities, and can survive underwater for a long time.

Underwater, scales will grow on the Marker's body and three pairs of gills will appear on its back.

Han Solo saw the woman in the palace dress dragging her suitcase, walking into an empty room and moving in directly.

Lorenzo ignored it and continued practicing.

They seem to be in the same group.

A legendary engraver and a rare engraver, when combined together, the threat is not to be underestimated.

Lorenzo will send the "First Warrior" to Elzlia, but Han Solo will not allow this to happen. He has a crazy and evil plan.

Imprint is the source of extraordinary power.

There is a replacement principle in engraving. High-level engraving can penetrate low-level engraving. As long as the engraver is strong enough, it can be replaced without damage.
