In a good mood, Maud came to the restaurant. The old butler had skillfully taken pots of small but delicate food from the lady's hand, and set them on the table. Looking at the dazzling, colorful, flavorful and delicious food, Maude let out a satisfied sigh: "Human beings have many desires, but one of the biggest desires must be eating, otherwise why can't I help but salivate when I see these exquisite meals." ”

"Because you've got a few good cooks, Lord Sir." The old butler smiled and put his hands behind him, and stood behind Maude at any time.

Maud poured a salad of fresh vegetables into her mouth with a silver spoon, then struck a slice of buttered toast. The door to the dining room opened, and a young man ran in. Maude frowned and said, "Joey, I sued you. As a gentleman, you have to pay attention to your image at all times. ”

The young man named Joy was Maude's youngest son and his favorite son, otherwise how could he enter the restaurant without knocking like this. If you change to someone else, you have to be reprimanded to say the least.

"It turns out that I, father, my stomach is rumbling with hunger." The young man patted himself on the stomach, smiled and pulled out a chair and sat down on his own.

"You already have your own family, don't you know that it is better to eat breakfast in your own home?" Maud tossed a slice of honey-coated roasted ham into her mouth with a fork, chewing as she spoke.

Joey took a large sip of the juice she had freshly squeezed in the morning and said, "I have something important to look for you, father." ”

"Why do you have to come and see me at breakfast?" Maud asked curiously.

Joey took out a delicate box from his pocket and waved to the old butler. The latter walked over and handed the box to Maude. The baron opened it, and inside was a piece of cotton cloth, which was woven with threads of two colors, red and black, in a lattice pattern of different colors, which was very ordinary and nothing out of the ordinary. Maude looked at Joey suspiciously, believing that his son would not be stupid enough to take an ordinary piece of fabric and show up in his mansion at this time in the morning.

So he looked at it carefully, and after a moment he was surprised to find that the needles of the cotton cloth were surprisingly thin, and that each grid was almost the same size. Its style is very ordinary, but the quality is excellent, and the key is the patterns, which have a strange beauty in themselves.

"Where is this made?" Maude asked.

Joey shoved a piece of toast into her mouth and said in a muffled voice, "Sur City." ”

"No way, how can the old guy in York have this kind of production technology, if it is hand-worsted, the cost will be very high." Maude frowned, wondering in his heart whether Sur City was going to develop towards worsted. But that won't work, and when it comes to the field of worsted, the upper nobility of the empire only recognizes the fabrics produced by a few old families. No matter how well Sur City does well, this remote border city will not want to break into the upper echelons of the Empire, and then there will be no profit at all.

Joey finally swallowed the bread in her mouth and said, "This is a new type of textile, my father." It's not handmade, yes, it's a machine. A machine that runs with iron components and gears. ”

"To be exact, this is the product of the Krossis loom."

"Looms?" Maud put down her fork: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"This is a question that only one person can answer you. I want him to come in, if you allow it. ”

Maude smiled: "It seems that you have done enough preparations, call in." ”

Joy called out to the diner, "Mr. Latis, you can come in." ”

The door opened, and a man walked in briskly, and bowed deeply to Maud: "It is an honor to meet you, Sir Maude the brave and wise. ”

Maude's compliments were very useful to Maud, and although they were heard almost every day, they did not get tired of him. He nodded and smiled, "Then Mr. Latis from Sur City, can you tell me about this Kroses loom?" ”

The man who raised his head was none other than the businessman Latis, who had wanted to teach Alan a lesson that day, but had a gray nose. He said with a smile on his face: "Speaking of this, we must first start with a stranger named Allen......

While Latis was talking about Eren in Storm City, he opened his eyes when he was far away in Sur City.

This is a brand new day, after more than half a year of continuous tempering, finally last night, the overflowing source power built another new circuit in Allen's body, marking his source power to enter the 16th level. This promotion opens up a new ability for Allen, Blazing Dash. This is a trap-type ability that leaves a spark at a specific location and activates the detonation when needed. Importantly, this ability can be released with a delay, which means that Eren could theoretically place an area as a minefield and detonate it when an opponent steps into it.

Within a limited space, the superposition of energy will produce a huge destructive force. Of course, due to the upper limit of the delay of this ability, it has been calculated that Eren can only bury three flames within a diameter of twenty meters at a time. In this way, the destructive power is limited, but if used well, it is enough to make the opponent drink a pot.

However, advancing and opening up new abilities, Alan is not necessarily very happy. From the last time he was promoted, he had clearly felt the existence of the second layer of the confinement barrier. Especially when the evil eye evolved last time, the sense of existence of the barrier was even more obvious. And this time, when the source power jumped to level 16, the storage of the confinement barrier became clearer. In this way, the higher the level, the more obvious the barrier of the source power will become, and when he wants to advance to the level of the awakened, it will fully function.

Hughton said that the first barrier is the most. At that time, he was forcefully broken through with the superposition of the power of nine source force vortices, thinking that at that time, his source power was low, and he was still injured a lot. If you act according to the law when you advance to the Awakened Person, with the strength of level 20 source power, I am afraid that it will blow up the heart.

But if he didn't try to hit the barrier, he would have stopped at this level forever. By then, even if there were still people willing to follow him, Allen's achievements had stagnated. It didn't get any more painful for him.

It's a pity that this kind of thing can't be rushed, at least with Allen's knowledge, there is no way to break through the barrier at the moment. He sighed softly, and could only see if he had the opportunity to return to Earth in the future, and then consult with Horn or Hughton.

Originally, the most suitable person should be Windsor Bello, but considering the style of his teacher, Alan could almost guess that her answer must be to break by force.

However, not everyone is Windsor Bello, so her answer is no.

Looking at the morning light gradually rising outside the window, Alan patted his face and told himself to cheer up. He had left the unsolvable problem behind him for the time being, and now there was a bunch of things waiting for him to deal with. A trip to Violet Harbor was imminent, and Sean was almost ready to trade the fabrics. Of course, this trip is a kind of brick throwing, there is no need to bring all the products, only the best quality parts are picked.

As someone who has been to Violet Harbor before, Sean will act as a guide for this trip. As for the guards, Alan is in charge, and in addition to Alan, Adele, Regess, and Willik also join the team. Lucy didn't go with her because she wanted to stay and crack the box of deception. The four of them, plus the Mountain King troops who have just finished the first phase of training, can be said to have absolutely sufficient armed forces in this team.

Eren left the Flame Warriors behind, and the city of Rissur lost quite a few musketeers in the last battle with Baku. At present, some recruits have been recruited, but they are still being trained. With the Flame Warriors supplementing the lack of firepower, plus Bloy and the others, the defensive strength of Sur City is still acceptable. Naturally, this power is to guard against Storm City, and their neighbors are far from friendly.

The departure time has been set for the day after tomorrow, and Alan is still full of anticipation for this trip. Once the trade route between Sur City and Violet Port is opened, it will undoubtedly be a qualitative improvement for the economy of Sur City. So this time, including Sean, all the businessmen are very attentive, and it is quite a bit of a unity.

It was still early, and Alan came to the outskirts of the city. A section of the wall that was knocked over by Baku last time has been rebuilt. And on Edward's orders, the elevation of the parapet wall has recently begun. It can be seen that scaffolding has been erected on the eastern section of the wall, and the heightened wall will reach six meters, almost doubling its height. This is a defense upgrade, and a second or third upgrade will be carried out if the economy allows.

The city is like the rising sun, beginning to rejuvenate itself.

Alan was about to transfer to the barracks of the city defense team, when suddenly his heart moved, and he looked towards the suburbs. In the suburbs outside the city, the morning fog is receding. In the hazy mist, a shadow faintly appeared. Suddenly, Alan saw a large snake emerge from the fog. It was a dangerous species he had never seen before, and the serpent's body was intertwined with black and white scales, and there was a shield-like protrusion on its head, on which a golden horn protruded. The edge of the shield bone of the large head is irregularly jagged, like a crown.

The strange snake kept swimming towards Sur City, and Alan frowned, he didn't take Qianjun with him. However, with the devil in hand, he is not afraid of any danger. It's just that a strange snake suddenly appeared in the suburbs, and after coming to Sur City for so long, Alan has never heard of such a dangerous species in this vicinity.

The strange snake stopped, and opened its mouth to hiss at Allen, as if it knew Allen. A strange feeling floated in Allen's heart, and he saw that the strange snake tilted its head to look at him, and his expression was very similar to Bai. He lost his voice and said, "Bai, is that you?" ”

The strange snake blinked, and the black and white eyes reflected Allen's appearance. In those snake eyes, Alan could not see hostility, so he confirmed his conjecture.
