It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

After a while, Luo Yu finally came into the church and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness the Saint and the Pope."

"...Did you go for baptism again?"

Lu Baiyan seemed to have noticed something, and asked in surprise, "You've been baptized six times in half a month... You're really working hard."

The so-called baptism is a kind of test within their church, and anyone who passes it can gain a lot.

But this frequency... Lu Baiyan certainly knew why Luo Yu suddenly became so hardworking, but he was also amazed at his talent. It was not easy for ordinary people to pass it once, but he passed it six times in a short period of time, so his strength would probably increase by leaps and bounds.

"It's out of the way."

Her Highness the Saint spoke softly, "You are doing this for the Holy See, what crime have you committed? Come, let me bless you once as well."

"Yes!"

Luo Yu gritted his teeth. The pain of the baptism was not very pleasant for him.

But when he saw the smile of Her Royal Highness the Saint, he suddenly felt that it was all worth it.

Even the resentment in his heart was reduced a little. Compared with Pan Feng and Pan Ling, Her Highness the Saint was naturally more fascinating. They were not even in the same league.

"Everything is for the Holy See!" he said heavily.

"……you're right."

After closing her eyes and blessing him, the saint stopped smiling and looked even more holy.

"Everything... for the Holy See."

We are just joking with you in the group, how can we really stop updating, but you are really perverted...

Chapter 229 Do you understand? Flags cannot be placed randomly!

The next day, in the main city of the empire, the port.

This place is relatively deserted on weekdays. Apart from the people coming and going from Yinsong Island, only some surrounding villages that prefer faster water transportation will choose this route. There are usually only two or three large and small ships here, and not many people visit.

But today is different. The place was packed with people early in the morning. It is no exaggeration to say that the streets are deserted.

Everyone came to see off their families - not to mention the knights of the royal court, the doctrines of the Church have never prohibited marriage, and most of the people going to the war have their own wives and children.

And this was the first time that everyone faced something like an "expedition". In the past, the royal family established the Knights Templar and the Holy See established priests and clergy. No matter how they improved their military strength, to put it bluntly, it was all an open and covert struggle between the two political forces, which was an infighting.

Now it is about resisting foreign enemies, which is completely different in nature - many people don't even know whether they have left the main city to go to the surrounding counties, let alone go to sea. Even if they are fully prepared, they will inevitably feel uneasy and nervous.

"Ada, you must be careful and safe. Mom is waiting for you to come back..."

"mother……"

"Xiao Mei, when I come back from defeating the Sea God, we'll get married!"

"Well, I'll wait for you..."

Don’t dare to say anything nonsense, don’t dare to say anything nonsense… Standing on the boat and listening to the people below cheering and sweating, can I say this?

But he suddenly felt a little emotional. This was the first time for the people of Hualan Empire to go out to sea, and he himself was not much better. After this, he couldn't help but think of everyone who was still in the Night Sin City.

For example, good sister Su Lin, little pet Lin Yue, and Tang Shuang. Before he left, she said that she would give herself to him after he returned...

Eh? Does this count as a flag? Don't do this!

I miscalculated, I miscalculated. If I had known before I left, I should have made her moan until she couldn't get out of the bed...

He was not the only one who was sad. Xia Ke'an beside him was also depressed. "I haven't heard from Silly Rabbit for a long time. She should still be alive, right?"

The silly rabbit was naturally referring to Gu Yi. It could be seen that although they usually bickered fiercely, some friendships seemed to be built in this way. Of course, it might also have something to do with the old aunt's nature. She seemed to like getting along with younger people. Perhaps she could find some happiness in being the leader of the children?

"I miss them too, and I don't know when I can get in touch with them again."

Xia Wuyou's emotions were also aroused, and the three members of the family were doing emo together.

"…It won't be long."

In the end, Xu Shi calmed down first and sighed, "Chengcheng has gone to deal with the construction of the base station. It should be completed before we come back."

It’s not that we can’t get in touch now, but unfortunately the temporary signal towers built on the sea are all simple versions, at most at the level of sending telegrams, and can only do some simple text exchanges. For them who have long been accustomed to communication bracelets, this is obviously far from enough.

Speak of the devil, and here he comes. As they were talking, someone hurriedly pushed through the crowd and came to Xu Shi and his party with two boxes in his hands. "Mr. Xu, this is what Madam Jiang asked me to pass on to you. Fortunately, I made it in time."

This man was also one of the people from Yinsong Island who were rescued by them at that time. In terms of seniority, he was considered a close confidant of Pan Cheng. Xu Shi nodded slightly and took the box. "Thank you."

When I opened it, I saw that the first box contained a set of combat uniform and a brand new alloy blade.

The clothes were obviously not for Xu Shi, and he couldn't wear them - this was a special weapon that Jiang Chengcheng had been busy working on since she went to sea, and it was designed specifically for Xia Wuyou.

Xia Xiaomao was originally accustomed to lightweight exoskeleton mechas rather than the heavy armor of the combat team, so Jiang Chengcheng would naturally choose to continue in this design direction.

It also comes with a handwritten instruction manual, which is a more detailed introduction.

Xu Shi took a quick look through it and found that she had borrowed a lot of craftsmanship from the Hualan Empire. For example, in terms of material selection, she boldly abandoned most of the composite materials commonly used in the Night Sin City, and instead chose a kind of exotic animal leather unique to the Hualan Empire as the main body. According to her explanation, this material is superior in terms of ductility, defense, and even comfort.

The same goes for the matching alloy battle blade, which is thinner and longer than the original one, and the blood groove is filled with a dark blue liquid.

This is the "Rust Mist" ore unique to the Hualan Empire. It is in liquid form like this when mined. The concentration of "Rust Mist" is not inferior to the ore in the "Forgotten" survival zone. Apart from being rare and expensive, it has no other disadvantages.

Another benefit of this material is that it can better establish a link with the user himself - this is also the main direction of this set of special weapons. By further extending the user's abilities, the advantages of supernatural powers can be maximized.

To give a very simple example, when Xia Wuyou was battling with Tang Shuang before, she had a wonderful performance of shrinking an explosive with one knife. That was a reflection of her ability rather than how powerful the weapon was. Now with this new knife, such an operation will be smoother.

This inspiration also came from the Hualan Empire - the people here don't have a high level of technology, but their research on upgrading superpowers is more thorough. Most of their weapons also adopt this idea, using them as conductors rather than simply as weapons.

To put it more elegantly, it is called the unity of man and sword.

The same goes for this battle suit. Jiang Chengcheng modified the original external skeleton into a nano-scale internal integrated circuit, which is equivalent to embedding a large number of "twins" in it. According to her, after simulation tests, the effect of reducing weight and improving personal sensitivity is even better.

"Increased sensitivity?"

Xu Shi said "Oh" in an exaggerated manner.

"Go to hell."

Xia Wuyou punched him with a red face, "Can you put some thought into your head?"

Xu Shi laughed, no matter how ignorant he was, he knew that this sensitivity was not the same as that sensitivity. It mainly referred to reaction speed, which were crucial factors on the battlefield, and it was different from that of his good sister Shen Qin.

But teasing her is fun and it feels great to be naughty.

"...Then shall I try changing it?"

Xia Xiaomao wouldn't be really angry with him. She just gave him a blank look and then focused all her attention on the equipment.

Which girl doesn't like new clothes? Especially this is not just clothes, but the special weapon she has been looking forward to for a long time... To be honest, she has been coveting the "Yujing" in Xu Shi's hand for a long time. Who wouldn't want equipment that can instantly allow people to break through a level?

And when she returned to the cabin and changed her clothes, the effect was even more amazing.

It is said to be made of animal skin, but Xu Shi feels more like silk no matter how he looks at it. Only the vital parts of the upper body and the legs can highlight the unique texture of leather, while the other parts are tightly attached to the body.

Like her previous light armor, this suit is also dark in color, and continues the feeling of the previous tights, perfectly outlining her toned and slender figure.

The integrated circuits embedded in the battle suit appear to be as beautiful as floral patterns, and emit a faint glow as she controls them.

The matching clothes also include combat boots, goggles, and a pair of buckled fingerless gloves, which add a bit of sharpness and competence to her and take her temperament to a higher level.

She is like a god of war, the most beautiful female god of war.

Wow, it's so cool that it makes me dizzy... Xu Shi felt that he couldn't take his eyes away and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "It looks good."

Pan Feng on the side had already had starry eyes. He used to think that his master was a great beauty, but he didn't expect that she had such a handsome side. Girls all love beauty.

"Grumpy."

Xia Wuyou was also very satisfied with it, but still spat and complained, "This dress is not meant to look good."

Xu Shi smiled, this was indeed true, he had no doubt about Jiang Chengcheng's skills, with the support of special weapons, Xia Xiaomao's abilities would probably be able to leap directly from A+ to S level.

Not to mention that she had injected "Sublimation II" in advance, so a breakthrough was a natural thing. Although the combination of the two could not allow her to reach the SS level in one fell swoop, she could probably reach S+.

In other words, she seemed to have become the undisputed top fighter in the team without her realizing it...

The significance of this set of equipment itself cannot be underestimated. It is the first achievement of the technological crystallization of Night Sin City and Hualan Empire!

With this precedent, future specialized weapons will only become stronger and stronger.

"Since it's not for the sake of looking good, then add another one."

Xiao Xiao was shocked in her heart, and Xu Shi took out a windbreaker and put it on her, "Here, this is completely perfect."

Although he was wearing a tight suit before, at least it was covered with an exoskeleton. However, he didn't want others to see this suit from the bottom of his heart. He just wanted to see it himself... The man's possessiveness was fully reflected at this moment.

"……it is good."

Xia Xiaomao paused, put on her windbreaker on her own initiative, took off her goggles and put them in her chest pocket, her eyes full of tenderness.

Just this slight movement gives people the feeling that they are two completely different people.

"By the way, I see Sister Chengcheng didn't give it a name... can you give it one?" Xia Wuyou thought for a moment and asked again.

"Hmm...how about calling her "Su Wei"? "

Xu Shi thought for a moment and then said.

This is considered to be a continuation of the names of the special weapons series. His "Yujing" is an elegant name for snake, and "Suwei" refers to tiger... She is said to be like a kitten, but how much can she lose to a tiger when she gets serious?

"As long as it's your name, it's fine."

Xia Wuyou had no objection, or rather, rather than necessarily having a name, she preferred the sense of ceremony of Xu Shi naming her.

After chatting with her for a few words, Xu Shi opened the second box.

The things here are relatively simple, a set of bullets and force field activation devices for recharging "Yujing", and a few pieces of letter paper.

The bullet also uses liquid "rust mist" technology, so its power is definitely not weak... But the letter made Xu Shi more interested. He wrote more than ten pages, all of which were Jiang Chengcheng's concern and greetings to Xu Shi before he went to the battlefield.

This is too much... Xu Shi was secretly ashamed. You only wrote less than three pages of instructions for Xia Wuyou. It sounds more like a love letter than a concern.

Noticing the unfriendly looks around him, Xu Shi decided to put it away and read it slowly on the way.

"Thanks for your hard work."

He smiled slightly, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the visitor, "Then please take this back to her."

This time the voyage does not pass through Yinsong Island, and Xu Shi did not plan to let Jiang Chengcheng go with him... They can't always be together, and there are many things to do while going out to sea.
