Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 52 51 Promise (Please read later)

19 Lombard Street, nd floor.

Because teacher Lilia Lightninger is in the study, perfecting the blueprints of the magic forging hammer, it is not suitable for entertaining guests.

Roy took Maruna directly to the living room. He looked at Maruna, who looked tired, pressed him down on the sofa, and brought him a cup of hot tea.

According to the custom of this world, he also added two candies.

"Have some tea first to perk up!"

Maruna looked at Roy with tired eyes, then picked up the teacup, put it to his mouth and took a sip.

The aroma and sweetness of the tea spread across his taste buds, and the temperature was just right, so he took another big gulp.

After drinking the tea, he did not speak. Instead, he seemed to have a mental breakdown. He lowered his head, hunched his back, curled up his body, and trembled all over.

There was a low whimpering sound, carrying with it an unspeakable sadness, pain and depression.

The collapse of an adult may happen at that moment!

Roy looked at Maruna, and although he couldn't empathize with him, he could understand him.

He has his own magic power factory, earns a lot of money every year, and lives a comfortable life.

He has an understanding wife, two children, a boy and a girl, and his family is happy and harmonious.

He has his own career. As a branch of the old noble family, he was the first to value magical machinery and invested in it resolutely, thereby gaining sufficient wealth and social status.

For someone like Maruna Márquez, his life should be considered complete.

But overnight, just overnight, his wife died, his two children were taken away, and his happy life was shattered.

His confusion, pain and sadness were not acted out, but were truly revealed.

Luo Yi stood beside him, holding a cup of tea in one hand. He was silent for a moment, then finally reached out and patted his shoulder, silently comforting him.

Many times, the reason why Luo Yi practiced so hard was because he lacked a sense of security and did not want such a thing to happen to him.

Maruna didn't let Roy wait for long. After just a moment, he lowered his head, wiped his tears with his clothes, breathed in and out repeatedly, and finally calmed down.

Looking up, his eyes were red and he looked tired, but he still tried to cheer himself up.

Luo Yi looked at him and finally sighed: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Maruna looked at Roy and asked, "Are you willing to help me?"

Luo Yi nodded, then shook his head: "I don't want to lie to you. Teacher Oliveira and I can go, but whether we will take action and to what extent we will take action is up to us to judge."

"After all, the sea is the world of pirates. It's hard to say what kind of danger we might encounter. If it's beyond our ability to handle, we will never risk our lives!"

"But if I have the chance, I will bring all your children back. This is the biggest promise I can make."

"That's enough! That's enough!"

Maruna stood up quickly, holding Roy's hand with a grateful look on his face.

If Luo Yi took on too much responsibility, he would not believe it, but if Luo Yi spoke the truth, he knew that the other party would do his best.

Luo Yi tried to pull his hand out calmly, but after several attempts, it didn't move. He could only say, "Tell me what happened?"

“The pirates’ ransom letter was for a small island in the sea called Guano Island.

They asked me to send the money to the island, and hand over the money and the person.

I have already withdrawn all my savings, plus the mortgage of 40% of the shares in the Seven Gods Bank, one thousand gold tyres is enough."

"Also, I hired the highly reputable Bauhinia Mercenary Group and two capable detectives to escort me to the Guano Island."

“As for you and Mr. Oliveira, the way I think about it, just follow behind.

If, if everything goes well, there is no need to do anything; if there are any setbacks, I will have to trouble you."

Luo Yi nodded slightly, feeling that although the other party had encountered a great change, he was actually still calm.

After so many years of ups and downs in the business world, I have developed my own way of doing things.

"I'll go talk to Mr. Oliveira and tell him that we helped with this matter."

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

Maruna Marquez seemed extremely excited. He seemed to have thought of something and said, "Master Luo Yi, you know my current situation. I can't produce any valuable items and I have no money.

I don’t know how to thank you…”

Luo Yi really didn't agree to it just for Jin Tie'er, so he was just going to say a few polite words.

However, before he could speak, Maruna said, "I know, I know you are a man who can do big things, and you have been selecting a suitable magic machinery factory.

Magic textiles are only at the bottom of the industry after all, and the technical content is not high. I also know that the students of your magic academy are ambitious. "

"It's just that I haven't found a suitable magic energy factory to invest in."

"Leave this matter to me. I will definitely choose the best and most suitable factory for you."

This time, it was Roy's turn to hold Maruna's hands and ask, "Really?"

Maruna said: "I have thought about this matter carefully and I don't think it's a big problem." "Master Luo Yi, you are an outsider after all, and you actually have limited understanding of the business environment in Auckland, but I am different.

With the name of the Marquis family and the fact that I was the first to open a magic energy machinery factory, those people will give me face."

“Most importantly, the impact of this pirate robbery was too great, and the subsequent ransom and rescue expenses were also extremely exaggerated.

This will break the original pattern, and the shares of those magic energy machinery factories will change.

So, give me some time and I will definitely choose the best one for you."

"it is good!"

Luo Yi really didn't expect that the magic machinery factory that he had been unable to find a way out for a long time had a breakthrough here in Maruna.

"Then I'll ask you for help with this matter."

"My child, thank you Mr. Roy for your concern."

"Do my best!"

At the end of the conversation, Luo Yi remembered something and asked, "By the way, what about the time? The exact time for redemption?"

“The pirates have set the date for January 1th, which is thirteen days from now. We will probably have to leave in eleven days.

It takes some time to get from Auckland City to Fisherman's Harbour and then to Guano Island."

"Well, we'll go with you on this trip in eleven days."

"thanks, thanks!"

Maruna left, and when he went out, his steps were much lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from him.

Luo Yi looked at his departing back, his eyes flickering.

Oliveira appeared behind him and asked, "Are you really going?"

"Go, you still have to go!"

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Are you afraid that someone is plotting behind the scenes? Of course I am! So, am I not so sure?
Besides, if they really make a move, they will be exposed, and I will know what I want to know."

Having said that, Luo Yi turned his head to look at Oliveira and said with a smile: "Teacher, there are still more than ten days left, let's have a intensive training!"

……

Since Roy has promised Maruna, he must be fully prepared.

For example, verifying the information Maruna said, understanding the pirates' situation, preparing some supplies for going out to sea, etc...

Not to mention that Roy didn't believe Maruna. He had just been assassinated and he didn't trust anyone.

He handed this matter over to Oliveira and Ang.

The only thing he has to do is to improve his own strength.

After the God's Grace Festival, everything was in chaos and his cultivation speed slowed down. This time, he must find the feeling of cultivation.

As for the direction of his improvement, not to mention the basic accumulation of fighting spirit and physical fitness, the main thing is combat skills!

After his swift swordsmanship reached level 7, even though it broke the limit, his exclusive skills Wind Chasing Step, Swift Strike and Cross Instant Kill had made great progress.

Finally, we have achieved the basic requirements for skill optimization as mentioned by Deep Blue.

For example, the body shape changes in the Wind Chasing Step increase the chance of dodging.

For example, Swift Attack develops in the direction of 'Thrust'.

For example, in the cross instant kill, Luo Yi has removed the "cross" and changed it to "V-shaped instant kill".

Twice or even more times, his fighting spirit burst out, increasing the speed of the sword again and again, yet making the sword move according to his will.

The shapes of the components are no longer limited to the 'cross', but can be of any shape.

However, after Deep Blue's analysis, Loy's practice, and Oliveira's confirmation, the best ones are actually various 'V' shapes.

Whether it's a horizontal chop, a vertical slash, or a diagonal thrust, it can change direction quickly to form a "V" shape, making the sword light more mysterious and unpredictable, and unstoppable.

Oliveira witnessed the changes in Luo Yi's sword skills with his own eyes. At first, he was a little skeptical.

Although Luo Yi was a genius, an unrivaled genius in his eyes, no matter how talented he was, the fighting skills that had been perfected over countless years could not be changed just because you wanted to.

But he just watched Luo Yi's footwork become more and more weird. To be more precise, his body movements were swift and difficult to describe. While dodging attacks, he could also swing his sword to the greatest extent and hurt the enemy.

And that 'swift thrust' was even more unbelievable to him. The footsteps were continuous, the body was erratic, and the sword light was pushed forward like a cold light, flashing away.

The speed was so fast that Oliveira felt a sense of crisis.

The final 'V-shaped instant kill' is even more incredible. The sword paths change in different sizes, forming V-shapes, and you can always attack the enemy at angles you can't imagine.

As he watched, Oliveira unconsciously picked up his sword and began to imitate, learn, and try to change.

But this is not the end, because Luo Yi finally used the final exclusive skill of the second-level Wind Chasing Swordsman, Breaking the Air Slash.

　I think this kind of asking for favors is more in line with Maruna’s state of mind!
