1365 New Building
As usual, they took a secret exit to leave the pce but before that, Lory drank the Versipell potion to hide the shapeshifting spell on her when she changed her appearance to the humble Luo Ri Yi.
Once they were ready, Fargo drove to the location where the new N.I.M.S. building was located. After they passed through security, they drove down to the basement and entered a private car elevator that took them directly into the building bypassing the tight security of the N.I.M.S. building.
As the elevator door opened, they arrived inside arge bunker that seemed to be able to amodate tworge aircraft. Suddenly Lory was shocked by a loud rm and then the steel gate of the wall suddenly opened and several trucks entered when all the trucks entered the steel door automatically closed, it seemed that there was another secret tunnel specifically forrge vehicles to enter this ce.
Fargo parked his car casually in the middle of the area and then nonchntly threw a key card to one of the soldiers. When the soldiers saw Fargo''s arrival, they simultaneously stopped what they were doing and saluted him.
Fargo raised his hand to signal for them to be ''at eased'' after which everyone returned to task.
Lory''s gaze swept the the ce around her and thenmented, "You weren''t kidding when you said the building was better than before."
Fargo turned around and opened his hands, "The king said this ce will be the starting point for the development of our kingdom, that''s why we spent a lot of money to build this ce, what do you think?"
"Luc is right, in ten years technology has declined drastically, therefore we have to catch up or others will follow." Lory gave a meaningful look.
Fargo knew which country Lory was referring to. After the Dark Age war ended, many countries were destroyed including Hand and Luxemborough, as a result, they ended up at the same starting point and whoever managed to win the race would be the new power that dominated the world.
"I see there is a big gate forrge vehicles, why you need to make secret entrance for the truck?" asked Lory.
Fargo took a deep breath and said, "To ensure the secrecy of our assets, after the war ended, Luxemborough expanded its influence and they became more aggressive, sending spies into our country, although we have managed to fend them off so far, but we cannot be sure what will happen in the future." "Better safe than sorry," Lory chimed in. Fargo smiled. "You know me."
They then entered the elevator but there were no elevator buttons, then Fargo ced his palm on the elevator wall, and shortly after a blue light shed around his fingerprint for verification, then a robotic female voice heard ''Identity epted, Wee back Mr. Elkhandt''
Zhao Li Xin looked up and frowned, he really wanted to know how this technology worked. He made a note to himself that when everything was safe and clear, he would invest his time in studying this world''s technology intensively.
The elevator then moved up for a minute and then stoppedter on the doors opened, and Fargo stepped out. He step aside and bows courteously "Wee to my humble ce, Your Highness" he jokes.
Lory looked around and rolled her eyes "Why do all your rooms look the same? This room is almost the same as your room in the Cestine pce,?"
Fargo''s office is toorge to be modest, though it is far from luxurious or elegant. The office is painted a simple gray with a dark wood floors and a training room equipped with a punching bag, and the walls are lined with a collection of various types of weapons ranging from swords, spears, axes, knives, and guns.
There was also a small bar in the corner of the room But the most striking thing was the full kitchen with arge refrigerator and pan hanging neatly above the stove, but it was not strange cause Lory knew Fargo loved to cook specially meat dishes. Then in another corner, there was a single bed with messy sheets and a nket folded haphazardly.
Luckily this ce could still be called an office because in front of the giant window, there was arge wooden desk with argeputer on top and some papers scattered everywhere and behind the desk, there was a worn leather chair where Fargo usually sat.
"Fred must hate this ce" Lory saw the messy room with dirty sses scattered everywhere and the food wrappers that had not been thrown away just lying on the kitchen counter.
Lory then narrowed her eyes suspiciously "You did it on purpose so Fred wouldn''te huh"
Lory then narrowed her eyes suspiciously "You did it on purpose so Fred wouldn''te huh"
"That was the n!" Fargoughed as he took the dirty sses to the sink and and threw the remaining food wrappers into the trash. after that, he wiped the stain from the coffee table while saying: "Jay''s office is right above mine, then above his office is Clift''s office, I don''t know why he rarely shows up here, then above that is Fred''s office, and at the very top is Lucas'' office"
"So your office is at the very bottom of the others, I never knew you liked to be at the ''bottom" Lory gave a teasing look. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Yeah, I don''t mind that, ha, good time~" he smiled strangely as if remembering something good.
"Yeah, I don''t mind that, ha, good time~" he smiled strangely as if remembering something good.
Lory''s face turned ugly because the memory she wanted to forget involuntarily popped. "You know I tried to forget it!"
Fargo looked at herandthen rolled his eyes. "Oh,e on Lory, you''re married now."
It was a memory when ten-year-old Lory caught Fargo in bed with a woman. At that time Lory cried to Fred and said that Fargo was attacked by an evil woman and urged him to help Fargo immediately.
Yes, the innocent little princess has absolute belief in her brothers therefore when she saw the woman push her brother down she instantly assumed the woman must be the enemy.
"I thought you were attacked" Lory grumbled in disdained.
"In my defense, I was attacked...but I fought back," Fargo replied with a proud smirk.
Lory''s faces darkened, she really wants to hit this perverted man.
Zhao Li Xin smiled faintly while shaking his head as he watched them argue and tease each other all day long, this was also why Zhao Li Xin had no other thoughts about the rtionship between Lory and the Archknights as they interacted like normal siblings.
After tidying up his messy office, Fargo took Lory and Zhao Li Xin to the main building area, passing by a seating area decorated with green gardens and a giant aquarium that towered up to the top of the building.
Zhao Li Xin stared in awe, and then a goldfish swam toward him. When he was about to touch it, his finger went through the fish.
"It''s a hologram," Lory said.
"Holo-gram?" Zhao Li Xin tried to spell the words.
"It''s created by using light beam to reflect physical objects, it also able to detect the body sensor" Lory exin.
Fargo let out boisterousughs "Ohe on, that''s just child y, you haven''t seen anything"
"Really?" Zhao Li Xin''s eyes lit up.
Fargo pped Zhao Li Xin back excitedly "I''ll show youter, you gonna like this" he winked.
Lory narrowed her eyes as for some reason she didn''t like where this was going.
A few momentster a group of people in whiteb coats walked towards Fargo and then a man in his mid-fifties wearing thick sses with blond hair neatly slicked back extended his hand with a polite smile "How are you Mr. Elkhandt, I''m d you are here"
Fargo shook his hand and his entire casual attitude turned serious and stern. "I''m fine, how''s everything?" "We have potential breakthrough..uh.." he nced warily at Lory and Zhao Li Xin. "They''re my new assistants, you can talk freely," Fargo assured him. With Fargo''s assurance, the man lowered his guard. "Uh, we''re about to conduct an experiment on a new weapon to deal with Bael. Do you want to see it?"
"Show me!" Fargo''s expression deepened.
"This way, sir," he invited Fargo to walk beside him, but Fargo waved his hand.
"Go ahead, we''ll follow you."
"Of course," The man thought Fargo had something important to discuss with his two assistants.
After they were far enough apart, Fargo whispered to Lory, "The man''s name is Thomas Ackerson, the new director of N.I.M.S. He used to work directly under Uncle Dorian, do you remember him, he often apanied Uncle Dorian?"
Lory stared at the man intently as she tried to remember where she had seen him, but to no avail. The Dark Ages war took everything from her, and since then, life has been about duty and survival, especially after she took Lazarus''s curse.
Lory shook her head weakly "I don''t remember"
Fargo realized he had said something wrong so he quickly patted Lory''s shoulder and then joked to lighten the mood. "It''s okay, I don''t remember him either, he''s old and his face is too ordinary for me to remember"
Lory knew Fargo was trying tofort her so she teased him, "Yeah, but I''m sure you remember Miss Nancy, the librarian in the Cavernhall." Fargo''s lewd smile spread across his manly face. "Oh yeah, Miss Nancy, I remember she has big...uh, assets" Lory snorted then punched Fargo''s arm.
"Hey don''t hit me, you''re supposed to be my assistant!" he pretended to be hurt but of course Lory didn''t believe him.
A few minutester, they arrived at the weaponsb. Some researchers were staring from behind thick ss boxes, and suddenly, a bright shlight illuminated the whole room before gradually dying out. After that, everyone hurriedly checked the monitor screen, and some were staring closely at the ss window while holding their breath.
Not long after Lory heard that all the reacts cheered happily and then shook hands with each other and some patted each other with a big smile scattered on their faces and one of them was Ethan Hamilton.
"I think we have good news," Fargo''s voice attracted everyone''s attention when they saw their Fargo immediatelyposed themselves.
"Good day, sir, Elkhandt, Mr. Ackerson" a middle-aged man with dark hair immediately reached out his hand to wee them.
Thomas Ackerson shook his hand, but his eyes were attracted to the ss box "So it was sessful?"
The man smiled broadly "The result is promising so that we can move to the next stage, which is a direct experiment, I guess let Hamilton exin" he took a step aside to let Ethan Hamilton step in.
Ethan nced at Lory and immediately recognized her. His eyes instantly glint with joy, however, his enthusiasm disappeared like a smoke when he identally locked eyes with Zhao Li Xin''s cold eyes.
Suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he had made a huge mistake. Ethan hastily turned his gaze back to Fargo, "Um..uh-well, we''ve been testing a new weapon to weaken Bael''s regenerative abilities, as you can see, the experiment has been sessful so far but we still have to try it on Bael to see if it actually works..."
Ethan then exined a little bit more about their weapon and Fargo listened attentively, once they were done he nced at Lory to see her opinion.
Lory blinked once and slowly lowered her head, which meant she agreed with whatever Fargo decided. Understanding the signal, and turned to Ethan again, "Can we try now?"
Ethan straightened his back and then nodded firmly "Yes, I think the sooner the better"
