Looking at the window, Hedrick chuckled. He drank all the black tea in the cup, put the teacup in the cup and saucer by the window, picked up the pen and the drawing plate with his hand, and swung the brush on the canvas with ease. As the brush rises and falls, the canvas gradually becomes more and more colorful. There was a knock on the studio door, it opened, and Arthur walked in with a book.

Seeing the smile on Hedrick's lips, the young man pushed his glasses and said, "Father, you are in a good mood today." ”

"Of course, the thought that Lannie's son will come back today with a sad face makes me feel no reason to be upset." Haydrik laughed twice and retracted, "What about you, Arthur." You don't seem to have moved since Allen came back. ”

"Grandpa's eyes are on you, father, I try not to do anything that his old man suspects." Arthur smiled, the morning light falling on him through the window. The reflection of the lenses makes it difficult to see the eyes of the teenager behind the glasses.

Hedrick's brush stopped suddenly, and his face froze. Then he eased up a little and beckoned: "Come and see, how is this painting?" ”

Arthur walked over.

The painting is nearing completion, and the main composition of the picture can be seen falling on a tall tower. Haydrick uses the perspective of looking up to express this tower, the tower is crowded with people, the spire is hidden in the sunlight, and several pillars of light are like swords to break through the space of the picture, giving people a feeling of tearing through the limit. It can be seen that there is also a figure on the tower. The figure is small, but it is the center of the picture.

There is no doubt that the theme that Hedrick wanted to express was entirely focused on the seemingly inconspicuous figure. If you look closely, the figure is spreading its arms, as if listening to the voices of the people under the tower.

Arthur glanced at Haydrick, and remembered the image of his father standing in the tower, listening to the cheers below. The tower represents power, and it is not difficult to see Heidrick's ambitions from this painting.

The boy bowed his head and said, "I don't understand, father." ”

"Really? I thought you were better at painting than Kodof. Haydrik waved his hand: "Go to Venus, remember to record the lost appearance of the slut's son, I want to savor it." ”

"Understood."

Arthur stepped back, and Haydrick's handsome face suddenly distorted.

"Damn old thing, why do you care so much about that woman. Once it was Lanny, now it's Alan! My mother is your wife, and we are your true blood. Lannie and Alan, but they're just some. The thought of such a lowly blood running in Beskode's veins made me want to kill them! Haydrik suddenly tore the painting to shreds, and then laughed nervously: "Old thing, don't you hear Bescord's blood crying? It's okay, if you don't hear it, let me remove the filthy blood from you. ”

Pushing the easel the ground, Haydrik took a breath and turned to leave the studio.

In the corner of the castle directly opposite the studio, Anna walked out from behind the spire, and she looked at the studio opposite and shook her head.

Venus Hotel.

When Alan followed Horn into the lobby of the hotel, the manager of the lobby rushed over as fast as he could. Today he is destined to be busy, whether it is Bescord or Grant, he is some behemoth. The manager's job today is to serve the people of these two families, Horn patted Alan and said, "I won't go to the exhibition hall with you, you can go by yourself, Hughton should be here." ”

On the top floor of the hotel, a banquet will be held at noon to entertain all the guests attending the launch. The banquet was held by the two families, and Horn, who was half the host, was his stage. As for the success or failure of the press conference, he didn't pay too much attention to it, which is also the measure that the head of the clan should have. Similarly, Grant's family will be there, and for Horn, there will be another war waiting for him.

A war for him alone.

Alan arrived at the showroom rented by Bescord with his suitcase, and Hughton and a few assistants were already preparing for the new product launch. There are guests entering the hall one after another, because the Venus Hotel has arranged a projection curtain wall on the upper and lower floors that can be broadcast live today, so the number of guests in the hall on the two floors is basically the same. Anyway, you can see the products released by the two families on any floor, so the guests are happy not to offend any of the families.

However, after the new product display, it is time to place an order. At that time, it was the time when the two families really clashed.

At the moment, in Grant's hall, Lawrins seemed to be ready for the new release. After a few cutscenes, the moderator went straight to the point. However, the first thing to show is not Lawrins's works, but some conventional weapons, but these weapons are of high quality, and the living signature of Lawrins, the master of the sequence, adds a lot of points to these conventional weapons.

"The next thing to show is a 2-level magic martial arts, please allow me to introduce it to you." With his white-gloved hand, the host opened a long suitcase and took out a long knife from it: "Flame Soul, second-grade demon martial arts." Its blade is made of nano-heavy silver, a new material developed by the Grant family, and the blade is thin and sharp. What's more, due to the effect of the sequence 'Flame Blade', the blade can generate an astonishing high heat, which can easily cut through the armor. It can be said that with the flame soul, you can increase your combat power by several percent out of thin air. ”

The host drew his long knife, and under the black-toned scabbard, the blade of the Fire Soul was a fiery dark red. There are several hair-thin hair-like lines on the blade, which can process the energy conduction lines to such a fine level, and ensure the stability of the source force transmission. This alone shows the production capacity of the Grant plant. When the host activated the blade pattern, the blade of the fire soul immediately lit up, and a bright red light flowed.

The red light lit up, and the temperature of the venue immediately rose slightly. The host waved it casually, and the blade left a few wisps of flame in the air.

"This is a work designed by Master Diego, and it is both practical and collectible. Personally, I think it would be a good collectible even if you don't use it on the battlefield. The presenter ended the introduction of the weapon with a sneer joke.

The usefulness and value of the Flame Soul came second, and this exhibition of Diego's work aims to convey to outsiders that the Grant family will have a future Sequence Master. This information itself is much more valuable than the Flame Soul. That means that the Grant family will have a steady stream of magical weapons in the next thirty years.

Coupled with Lawrins, the current master of the sequence, the effect formed is not as simple as one plus one.

Next, it's finally time for Lawrins' work to take place. On the projection wall of the hall, the display of Bescord's new products also began. Bethcord does not have a host, and Hughton himself is on the stage in the picture, and behind him, Allen can be seen working on the spot. However, all eyes were drawn to Hughton, but no one paid attention to Allen behind him.

Hughton pulled out a rifle first.

Raging rifles.

As an already open secret, the Raging Fire Rifle can be said to have become familiar. This gun doesn't have too many highlights, lowering the standard for the use of source power, as long as some weapons dealers can sacrifice their interests, they can also come up with such a product. It was only Eren who was ahead of the curve, and Sirius, one of the Federation's ace legions, who was the first to use it, that added a lot to the weapon.

So when Hughton actually displayed the Raging Fire Rifle as a new product, many people showed puzzled eyes, and they almost didn't question it.

By the time Hughton came up with the honor barrier again, most of the guests had already shook their heads. As the most popular family in recent years, even if there is no master town like Lawrins, Bethcord should not use the fire rifle and the honor barrier as a new product display without sincerity, which will inevitably damage the prestige of a large family.

Looking at the curtain wall, Diego couldn't help but sneer, and said to Lawrins next to him: "Teacher, it seems that Bescord has no recruitment." To use these things that have already been put into use as new products, they are smashing their own signs. ”

"Today, we won!"

Lawrins frowned, and he looked at Hugh on the curtain wall. Based on his understanding of Hughton, no matter how inferior to him was the man who studied with him back then, he would not be able to fill the scene with equipment such as the Flame Rifle. At this moment, as if Hughton sensed something, he smiled in the middle of the picture in the curtain wall, as if he were smiling at Lawrins.

Lawrins suddenly thought of something, his body shook slightly, and he said softly: "Could it be that they ......"

In Bethcord's showroom, the guests were already heckling. After Huton brought out two old works in a row, some guests were even ready to leave. If it weren't for politeness, someone might have questioned it out loud. Then Hughton said, "Rest easy, yes, as you can see. There are no new products to talk about the Flame Rifle and the Honor Barrier, but will Bescord really use such a thing to perfunctory everyone? ”

This sentence made a big difference, and the guests who had been planning to leave also turned back to hear what Hughton had to say.

Huton smiled and turned sideways. In the back, Alan carried a set of magical armor and placed it on the display table, and on the chest of the armor, there was a device like a miniature reactor. The lines on the armor spread out from there, and I don't know what it did. Under the spotlight, Alan said calmly: "Everyone, please see, what Beskod wants to show today is not any specific magic equipment. Rather, it is a completely new concept, this device is called the Fusion Matrix, and it does not have any ability to generate. It has only one function, that is, to integrate the original components and generate new capabilities through the energy conduction patterns that have been set in advance. ”

"I call it the Set Ability, and right now, the three building blocks of the Set Flame Warrior are on display. The Flame Rifle, the Honor Barrier, and the Magical Armor embedded in the Fusion Matrix make for a complete set of Flame Soldiers! ”R1058
