Chapter 819: Section 548: The Era Advances (Part One)

"This is Mr. Meng Jinshan, the observer from the Thainan diplomatic delegation, a respected War Witch and very powerful." Out of professional necessity, the portly messenger with wavy curly long hair, who Malin has met before, introduced the old man to Malin—emphasizing his Sequence.

The latter came over, extended his hand, and said fluently in Sydney language: "Good evening, Mr. Malin, I hope my daughter hasn’t caused you any trouble."

You must be blind, did you know your daughter was competing with me for the girl?

Certainly, you don’t know, just as you don’t know that I’m planning to tie her up and sell her to a Frost Giant—I heard they’ve been looking for a Thainan chef who can cook for them, hope your daughter can handle flipping twenty-four pots with Spiritual Energy.

While Malin muttered to himself, he also extended his hand and replied in fluent Thainan language: "Not at all, your daughter is a brave child."

The cluelessly blind father and liar Malin shook hands warmly, while the portly messenger was completely unaware of the undertones and rather thought it a good thing that they didn’t need his translation services.

The Thainan delegation showed curiosity about the Power System that Malin brought out, and Malin called out the head of the Half-human readiness class to explain the working principles of this ’Combat Mage Combat Power System Type I’.

Actually, it’s just a massive thrust system that allows Mages to maneuver in the air, but it’s unprecedented.

As the saying goes, a novel move wins everything, and that’s exactly the case here.

He is from a Great Craftsman lineage, and got along with several Thainan Great Craftsmen within the delegation, who all were proficient in the common language, thus Malin had some spare time.

And finally, Malin’s Lulu managed to send away little Meng, the third wheel, then she came up to Malin, extended her hand and embraced him: "Mr. Malin, I know how brave and fearless you are, but could you at least give me a chance to accompany you."

"Don’t worry, it’s just killing a few Chaos flies." Malin comforted Lulu, while also thinking about sending this somewhat clumsy girl to Rongma to keep company with girls from his own home—nowadays, even taking a bath is a luxury during war, Malin really didn’t want to leave Lulu in the unpredictable Copenhagen, especially since he had just killed a number of people, the enemy can’t deal with him, if they turned their target towards Lulu, he couldn’t entrust this silly girl’s safety entirely to the protection of Eleven and Seventeen.

Put another way, if something were to happen to Lulu, then following Copenhagen would likely live under a reign of blood and storm every day.

Another way to put it, Malin is fighting Chaos on the frontlines during the day, and at night he needs to attend to his lower numbered operatives to provide warmth to the whole family of the murderer, how can this be, this is just like the fortune of 007, Malin does not appreciate this at all.

"Are you trying to send me away?" Lulu suddenly asked.

This startled Malin—what, this girl, who might be the weakest among his own, has had a breakthrough in Spiritual Energy in these days, and can now directly sense other’s thoughts?!

Of course, Malin wouldn’t admit it openly: "What nonsense are you talking about, why would I send you away."

"Your facial expression just now was exactly like the one my father had when he wanted to send my mother away, were you thinking of sending me to Rongma?" The girl stared at Malin with a serious and earnest expression, like a serious little tiger.

"No, really not." Malin said, while involuntarily looking towards the Dwarves Tower Master nearby—Quick! Brother! Save me!

But to Malin’s surprise, the Dwarves Tower Master, seeing Malin’s glance, even turned away somewhat shamefully... Ah, right, I heard the Tower Master is still unmarried, moving further along the path of bald, single, and unwanted... Meow, am I digging my own grave here?

Thinking this, Malin turned his head towards the wavy-haired person, who, noticing Malin’s pleading gaze, smiled shyly and even gave a thumbs up.

Ah, forgot, this wavy-haired person is apparently still single, works as a novel Author, and is best at mentally filling the gaps.

How could you fill it?! And giving a thumbs up! Buddy! Are you a masochist who likes domestic violence?!

Thinking this, Malin’s head was forcibly turned back by Lulu: "Really?"

At this moment, the girl in front of Malin had the red pupils only predators possessed, she was watching Malin, waiting for a potentially horrific answer.

"Of course it’s true." Malin tried to make his smile more genuine.

"I’ll believe you this time, oh, by the way, it looks like someone is looking for you over there." Lulu released her hand, Malin turned his head and saw the Half-human messenger, standing at the entrance of the readiness area. He clearly still remembered the 1.8-meter tall Malin, so now he was craning his neck searching, completely missing the 1.2-meter Malin.

You see, this height difference is really deceptive.

Malin whistled, the Half-human messenger immediately looked over, and upon spotting his target, hurried over: "Your Excellency, His Majesty has been looking for you all day, I came over as soon as I heard you were leading the team back."

"I can guess what it is about, hold on for a moment, I’ll summon my two subordinates first." Malin finished speaking and directly opened a teleportation channel in the readiness area.
