Chapter 319 The Eve of the Wedding (4000)

The rain was getting heavier, washing over the Covenant City.

The lights were still on in most rooms of the Tomorrow Group Building.

The Imperial Congress election was just around the corner, and even though she was sure to win, Irina did not dare to slack off. She kept her promise at the palace banquet and slimmed down the Tomorrow Group, which naturally brought a heavy workload.

And the intuition she developed from being in danger for many years told her that...something unexpected would definitely happen.

She stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window. The city in the rain was hazy and no longer noisy.

As the seal on the office door was lifted, Angelica walked in with a tray. "Night shift snack. Mashed potatoes, bacon, bread, cereal and milk... Poor Helot, I don't know what he can eat in the North. I heard that people in the North like to eat raw meat."

"Angelica, what do you think..." Irina turned and asked, "If Helot marries Princess Emma Lubeli, can he convince Duke Erwin to allow us to develop the underground magma?"

Angelica put the food on the desk and said, "I believe Helot will be able to convince the stubborn duke. But if the Tomorrow Group is able to develop the underground magma, the empire will surely be wary of it... Perhaps this is also what Duke Erwin is worried about."

"You're right. Duke Erwin must have concerns. During the Blood Rebellion, the then Duke of Ice and Snow opposed the extermination of the rebellious families." Irina sat back at her desk. She did not touch the food first, but took out a folder from the drawer and read it carefully: "I saw your latest body upgrade report. There was a slight rejection of the new thermal ultra-high pressure reactor, but you refused to dismantle and restore it... This does not conform to the upgrade process."

Angelica smiled and said, "At my level, how can I not reject new technology? I know my body better than anyone else. What it needs now is running-in. After a period of running-in, it will be compatible."

Irina was helpless about Angelica's point of view.

Some mechanical human technologies simply cannot be explained by science. Maybe all the calculations are correct, but they just can't work after being assembled, and the reason is still unknown; or maybe, as Angelica said, the repulsion phenomenon disappears after running-in, and the reason is also unknown.

This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult to unify standards for mechanically modified humans.

Irina had no choice but to sign the document and reminded Angelica, "You may be right, but we cannot rely on running-in to ensure the compatibility of the aircraft. I require you to conduct an aircraft performance evaluation every twelve hours, and three special engineers will each issue me an evaluation report."

Angelica complained: "Is it really necessary to go through so much trouble?"

Irina said solemnly: "Angelica, I am your chief engineer. I know the risks of this upgrade better than anyone else, including you. Promise me that you will conduct regular inspections at the time I request... I don't want to lose you, and Helot doesn't want to lose you either."

Angelica stood still: "Yes, ma'am..."

At this moment, Angelica suddenly raised her head and moved to the window at an accelerated speed. The night view on the window disappeared and turned into a tempered wall. The scenery just now was all magic projection.

The wall shook violently, and a bulge bulged inward.

Then the alarm of the entire building sounded: "Everyone pay attention! Everyone pay attention! The Tomorrow Group Building has been invaded by unknown armed personnel. All non-combatants are requested to retreat to the safe house in an orderly manner according to the instructions.

The group's security personnel are taking action, please don't panic...

Everyone, pay attention! Everyone, pay attention..."

The wall shook again, and another bulge appeared.

Angelica breathed a sigh of relief. The CEO's office had been specially fortified, so the attackers couldn't get in for a while. She turned and walked towards Irina, reaching out to open a secret door with the remote control: "I'll escort you out of here, and then come back to teach these clowns a lesson."

Facing the attack, Irina did not seem nervous, but rather relaxed.

All this time, she had been worried about when the attack would happen. Now that it had come, she just had to deal with it according to the emergency plan.

Irina picked up the cereal and milk and walked into the secret door under Angelica's escort. The elevator would take her to the deepest underground level.

Five minutes later, the elevator door opened and a team of mechanical guards were waiting at the door, all of them in mechanical fighting postures.

The leading mechanical guard saluted Irina, "President! The intruders who attacked from the first floor are mechanical cyborgs from the Black Gold Group, led by the third-generation Transcendent Belleion. The ones who landed from the top floor using an airship are the Corpse Stitchers and the Corpse Puppets they control. The magic monitoring shows that there is a suspected Transcendent Level 3 who has broken through the tempered wall of the president's office.

Now the Corpsemen and Corpse Puppets are attacking from the top floor, and the Mechanical Transformers of the Black Gold Group have entered the underground area, and the security forces of the group are resisting them. "

It is understandable that Deep Prison attacked Tomorrow Group, but how dare Black Gold Group blatantly attack Tomorrow Group’s headquarters in the imperial capital? Isn’t that old guy Uribe afraid of being purged by the empire?

But now is not the time to consider why the Black Gold Group is going crazy.

Irina immediately ordered: "All of you follow Angelica to resist the invaders and do your best to protect our personnel."

Angelica said, "Let them stay here to protect you. I will deal with the intruders above."

Irina insisted, "Take them all away. You fight off the invaders, and I'll be safe here."

At this moment, the Tomorrow Group was suffering heavy losses every minute and every second. Angelica waved her hand to let the mechanical modified people enter the elevator, and then said to Irina: "We don't know what other forces are involved in this invasion. If you find that the situation cannot be reversed, leave immediately! As long as I am alive, I will find you!"

When Angelica turned to enter the elevator, Irina grabbed her hand and said, "Full power must not exceed ten minutes. Remember, it must not exceed ten minutes!"

Angelica didn't look back, but just nodded, then broke free from Irina's hand and entered the elevator.

She didn't look back until the elevator door closed.

As the elevator went up, Angelica turned around, took out a metal mask and put it on her face.

"Brothers! Didn't you ever think that one day, those assembled scraps of the Black Gold Group would dare to attack us?"

"Big sister, we really didn't expect this! In the past, they always avoided us when they met us."

Angelica's body skills were activated layer by layer, and her eyes emitted a red light of heat source: "If they come today, don't let them leave again. Let me deal with Belleon's third-level semi-finished product of the extraordinary level, and you can do whatever you want."

"Yes, eldest sister!"

The elevator was shaking violently, and the battlefield was getting closer.

Angelica glanced at the floor and saw that the intruder was moving very quickly.

Angelica pulled out a knife from her wrist: "Eliminate the invaders, protect our people... go to battle!"

The elevator door opened, and all the mechanical cyborgs sprayed steam and rushed out with Angelica...

........................

In the northern Xinjiang, heavy snow blocked the roads, isolating this frozen area into an "isolated island".

The people from the northern border gathered around the Snow City live in their own ice houses all day long. They will not go out unless necessary. This can reduce calorie consumption and naturally reduce food intake.

They need to make good use of limited food to survive the freezing season.

But the wedding of the Ice and Snow Duke's daughter is a festival that everyone in the northern border celebrates.

Even if they cannot climb up the snow-capped peaks of icebergs to witness the wedding in person, people in the northern Xinjiang villages will still light a bonfire and express their joy with a banquet full of singing and dancing.

The people of Northern Xinjiang respect the Ice and Snow Family because the Ice Castle blocks the cold monsters from the polar plateau, allowing the people of Northern Xinjiang to stand at the top of the food chain in Northern Xinjiang without being hunted by the cold monsters. At night, looking down from the snowy peaks of the icebergs, the bonfires around the Snow Castle are dotted with stars, as bright and charming as the starry sky.

Helot followed the Skov family's team and escorted Princess Emma Rubelle to the top of the iceberg and into the ice castle.

This castle seems to be built of solid ice, and you can't see the stones wrapped in the ice. Under the moonlight, the whole castle exudes a crystal clear light. Standing on the castle wall, it seems like you are in a fairy tale world... There is a princess waiting for a prince to save her.

Now, the entire ice castle is preparing for tomorrow's wedding.

In the square in front of the main castle, craftsmen are working with magicians to make ice sculptures; the watchmen soldiers are learning etiquette and how to stand at the wedding under the leadership of their respective commanders.

The chefs in the kitchen will be preparing food all night, and those frozen hard pieces of meat are not easy to handle.

All the servants were assigned tasks, and everyone was busy, which made Helot, a lazy man, stand out.

Helot lay on the city wall, looking down the mountain...

Brisney hasn't come back yet, so she must have encountered some difficult things. This makes Helot's bad intuition grow stronger and stronger.

"Bonebreaker, you are here." Paniel walked up to the wall and looked in the direction where Helot was looking. "What are you looking at?"

Helot smiled and said, "Today's weather is really good. There are no clouds blocking the view. I can clearly see the bonfire burning at the foot of the mountain. I wonder...will this be the last time I see such a view. After your wedding with Her Royal Highness the Princess, I will enter the polar region to find the power I want."

Panier said regretfully: "I didn't expect that my sincerity still couldn't move you, but I admire your persistence. I won't persuade you anymore... When the fog dissipates, everything will become clear.

Come on, let's go drink. It's hard to get all the members of the Skovo family and the Erwin family together, but we plan to drink until dawn. After all, we can't indulge ourselves after getting married!"

Helot took one last look down the mountain, then followed Panier to the main castle.

The hall was extremely lively.

There were three large braziers burning in the middle, with whole lambs being grilled on them. The fat dripping into the fire made a sizzling sound, and the whole hall was filled with the aroma of barbecue.

The members of the Erwin family and the Skov family sat around, each holding a large wine glass in one hand and meat in the other, drinking and eating meat in big mouthfuls. When they got excited, they ran to the middle and danced in a circle around the fire.

Everyone is happy.

Panier whispered to Helot: "You should have learned the princess's true condition from her, but most people here don't know. They all think that her highness has fully recovered. Please keep it a secret for us, and at least let them celebrate tonight."

tonight?

Why not tomorrow before the wedding is over?
Helot responded: "I am not a person who talks nonsense."

At this time, someone saw Panier coming in and shouted, "Look who that is? It turns out to be the fiancé of Her Royal Highness Princess Snow. I suggest getting him drunk tonight and see if Sister Emma Rubelle will kick his ass at the wedding tomorrow."

"That's a good idea! Panier, come here, I want to have a drink with you. Don't worry, we will carry you to the auditorium tomorrow."

"Hahaha……"

Panier was dragged by several people to get drunk.

Seeing that Panier had no time to pay attention to him, Helot walked to a side door, checked that no one noticed him, and went in.

This time, Helot did not choose to be invisible. The Snow Castle was the base camp of the Elvin family. There were countless powerful people there. He was not a professional thief, so his invisibility would be easily broken.

Anyway, everyone in the castle is busy preparing for the wedding, so if I walk away in a swagger, it won't arouse suspicion.

It would look even more like one if he was holding a large sculpture in his hands.

With professional eyes, Helot selected an expensive bust, picked it up and walked away.

As expected, no one stopped him along the way, and everyone made way for him, fearing that they would accidentally damage the statue.

So we arrived smoothly at Princess Emma Rubelle's room.

As expected, there was no one guarding it.

Helot held the statue and pushed the door open and walked in...

When you see someone in the room, turn around and walk out.

As a result, someone called him: "Stop, what are you doing here?"

Helot turned around, put the statue in front of him, and replied, "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong room."

"Do not you know me?"

Helot recalled the look of that man just now, and then out of the corner of his eye he saw Emma Lu Bailey standing next to him respectfully.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. I'm a servant of the Snow Castle. I've only seen you once before, so I didn't recognize you just now."

The person in Emma Lu Bailey's room was Duke Erwin, who was tall and square-faced, with hair and beard as white as snow. If it weren't for his tone and Emma Lu Bailey's respectful attitude, Helot would have guessed his identity. They really didn't look alike at all.

Duke Elwin originally wanted to let go of the servant who barged in rashly, but his understanding of his daughter made him see a clue from Emma Luberi's expression.

"I remember now. This sculpture is right here. You're not in the wrong place." Duke Erwin pointed to a corner of the room and said, "Put it there. Don't put it too close to the wall..."

Helot's heart tightened, this was too much of a coincidence!

But we can only take one step at a time.

Helot walked to the location designated by Duke Erwin and placed the sculpture on the ground, slightly away from the wall.

Duke Erwin said dissatisfiedly, "It doesn't look good there! You put it in that position, with the front facing left."

Helot moved the statue to another position and then adjusted its direction.

Duke Erwin said again: "It won't work if we put it there. Let's put it where it was just now and move it a little bit inwards..."

Helot moved it and moved it to another place.

"It doesn't look good, it doesn't look good..."

Helot was furious: "I'm going to show off my cards!"
