The most shameless alchemist in history - Chapter 500
Chapter 500: Punishment and Redemption
To say that the most prosperous place in the city of Lan is undoubtedly the Qing Lan Building located in the city center. This is a building that has just been built, using the latest construction technology and construction materials. It is said that workers were in the process of construction. And the materials are all pulled from the south by train.
Compared with the traditional building, this building is nearly forty meters high, which is a full ten-story building. It is taller than the original landmark building of the city of Arashi, that is, the clock tower on the south side of the city of Arashi. It is a building with a strong sense of the times at several meters, and the construction budget is extremely large.
After the completion of the Qinglan Building, it is indeed worthy of its cost, and the benefits are high. If you want to live in the Qinglan Building for one night, even the most ordinary room will cost 20 silver coins a night, which is equivalent to an ordinary family. The cost of half a year is an astronomical figure.
That is to say, when the famous big businessmen pass by the city of Lan, they will choose to stay in the Qinglan Mansion, and will invite business partners to the Qinglan Mansion to talk about business. This is also very face-saving and can often get twice the result with half the effort, but these wealthy businessmen Recently, there is no way to stay in Qinglan Building.
It’s not that the Qinglan Building was blocked because of a malfunction, but the entire Qinglan Building was contracted out. This made the regular customers of the Qinglan Building extremely annoyed, and finally came to the City of Lan to talk about business. I went to Qinglan Mansion to talk with a friend, but he said that there is no room?
Where does this put the faces of these regular customers? This is not a loss in front of business partners, but when they went to the building angrily to ask for an explanation, the other party just said a simple sentence and blocked these wealthy businessmen back.
In order to be quiet and get a good night’s sleep, Mr. Ababa packed all the rooms, please understand.
“Huh? Ababa ordered it? Oh, that’s okay. There is no problem at all. Mr. Ababa’s rest is the most important thing. By the way, is Mr. Ababa here? Can I see him? What? I’m resting, forget it, don’t bother him…”
This is the reaction of the businessmen after they learned that the building was contracted by Ababa. Perhaps these businessmen are well-known and well-known figures, and they can be regarded as famous people in some places, and even the methods of doing things are vigorous and popular, suppressing competition. The opponent is particularly cruel.
But on this issue of Ababa, whether it is a tough industrialist or a cruel businessman, the attitude is surprisingly consistent, because Ababa is well-known across the continent, and countless people have used unlucky experiences to prove their annoyance. Ababa is not a wise move.
For example, there is a room in the building under Ababa’s bag that has been occupied by a high-ranking general for a long time, but after the general came, he immediately said that the room was not needed, hoping to see Ababa, but Ababa, he wanted to rest. It can’t be disturbed, so the general should wait slowly.
Even if it’s late at night, the light from Qinglan Building is still as bright as day. In the suite on the top floor, one looks only about 1.4 meters, but weighs 150 or 60 jins. The fat man is looking at the night of the city.
“Oh, I didn’t expect that the City of Lan has become like this. It is developing really fast. I still remember the last time I came to the City of Lan, um… that guy Lin Ye was still on the Daxing Railway at that time, everywhere. They are all working enthusiastically, and a few guys have jumped out to oppose the construction of the railway here…”
This middle-aged uncle who looks honest and honest, his eyes squinted like mung beans when he laughed, recalled the events of a long time ago, and sighed with emotion. If an old man who had been a little older was present and heard him, he would be shocked, because The city of Arashi has a long history.
Even if it involves laying the railway, it was decades ago, but how old does this uncle look like?
“Yes, the city of Lan has almost remained unchanged for more than a thousand years, but in the past few decades, it has changed a lot, and not only the city of Lan, but also the entire continent has undergone earth-shaking. The tremendous changes in the country were unimaginable before.”
A young man stood behind the middle-aged uncle. He was also deeply moved by the great changes. The changes of the times are terrible.
“All of this is the credit of that kid Lin Ye, he stole the power of the gods, allowing mankind to have the power to shake the gods in just a few decades. This is really terrifying.” Middle-aged The uncle sighed, and he admired the young man very much.
“But even if he did this, his name was still smeared in history. If it hadn’t been for the incident many years ago, maybe he wouldn’t even have his name left in history, and it would become completely transparent. People.” The young man shook his head, his expression a little complicated.
“Humans are really a strange race. They are obviously the ones who have led them to gain tremendous power, but they have to erase him. Speaking of which, you used to follow Lin Ye for a while, right?” Uncle Nian patted the young man on the shoulder.
The young man has a long body and a very good temperament. The height has reached nearly 1.8 meters. The middle-aged uncle of 1.4 meters can’t photograph young people’s shoulders theoretically, so he chose to use tools and he stood there. On the stool, he was finally on the same level as the young man.
“Yes, I also followed him to fight the mainland back then. In retrospect, it seems that it was yesterday.” The young man nodded and his eyes were looking forward, but the look in his eyes seemed to have traveled through time and space and came to a long time. In the past, that vigorous years.
“Speaking of where did the boy Lin Ye go? I remember the last time I saw him, he led the fleet to the east?” The middle-aged uncle suddenly asked. He carried his hands on his back and looked into the distance. Mountains, and what is the end of the mountains?
“After he went to the East, he disappeared. Ten years after his disappearance, the large railway connecting the east and the west was opened. This was also arranged before he left. Later, many people went to the East to find him, but for decades. Nothing was gained, some said he was dead, and some said he was still alive.”
The young man shook his head slightly. In fact, he wanted to say that he had also visited the East, but he still didn’t say it.
“Counting out, that boy Lin Ye should be… over 70 years old, right? He was a handsome boy when he saw him, and I am afraid he is a bad old man now. Back then, he pulled my beard and made fun of my beard. , Seeing him now, I can laugh at his beard.”
The middle-aged uncle recalled what happened many years ago and laughed aloud. He was a very interesting person.
“Then how old are you? Are you embarrassed to say others?” The young man turned his head and glared at the middle-aged uncle.
“Hey, this…we are different from human beings.” The middle-aged uncle smiled.
“But what good is it to live so long? Not as exciting as ordinary humans.” The young man shook his head and sighed.
“I said, boy, you are still young, why are you old-fashioned? You are so emotional, that I live longer than you, what will it be like?” The middle-aged uncle was a little dissatisfied.
“Probably because when I was with Lin Ye, I had a wonderful time. Now that he is gone, life has become dull and boring.” The young man shook his head. He missed the passionate life of the year. Rong years.
“Converted to the age of a human, you are in your twenties. At the beginning, you were a stunned young man. After only fifty years, you have become such a virtue. If you knew that you shouldn’t be allowed to mess with that boy Lin Ye. Ellie can’t be like you, or I will be pissed off by your brothers and sisters.”
The middle-aged uncle complained dissatisfiedly. It seemed that he was older than the young man, but when it comes to his psychological age, he was much younger.
“By the way, you are here to openly marry Ellie or something… Have you considered her feelings?” The young man turned around and looked at the middle-aged uncle. He frowned, and he was opposed to it from the beginning. Of the opinions.
“Oh? What do you mean… Do I have to do a marriage proposal for you too?” the middle-aged uncle asked in confusion.
“Don’t you, I don’t want to marry or anything. Ellie is still young and she is not yet old enough to discuss marriage. Is it really appropriate for you to decide for her like this?” the young man asked seriously. Nowadays, there is one and only one marriage event in the city of Lan.
That was the marriage of Ababa’s daughter, Allie, and now it is naturally the Ababa father and son in the suite.
Outsiders only know that Ababa has a baby girl, but they don’t know that he still has a son, but his son is very low-key, and he has been publicly visible, and he is only in old age and experienced the last era of blood and fire. People, only vaguely remember that there is indeed such a personal existence.
“I said Harry, when you went to bluff with Lin Ye’s boy, no one of our clan inherited the family business. Later, Lin Ye left, and you are not willing to come back to inherit the family business. You know every day. I’m running around all over the world, and I’m not going back home. If it weren’t for this time I’m here to engage in marriage to your sister, you’re afraid that you wouldn’t show up, right? Ellie, she’s not young anymore, she should also be a family member Did you make a little contribution to the issue of inheritance…”
Ababa blamed his son Harry, and he said it all right.
“Since you don’t inherit the family business, I can only let Ellie come, but you don’t know Ellie’s character, just because she’s afraid of being the old guys in the clan, you have to find someone for her. Good husband, that’s why I’m trying to get married. Is there any problem?” Ababa asked back.
“I don’t understand your great theories, but if you are looking for it, can’t you find a slightly normal and a better one? Looking for a place like this…what kind of husband can I find for Ellie? I see It is suspenseful.” Harry had been at odds with his father since he was a child.
This time he also heard about his father’s marriage proposal to his sister before rushing over. Before that, the two of them hadn’t seen each other for many years.
“Harry, do you think I am taking your sister’s happiness as a trifling matter?” Ababa squinted at his son.
“Otherwise?” Harry immediately pushed back.
“You are wrong.” Ababa shook his head slightly.
“What?” Harry was stunned.
“I didn’t do this because I was dim-eyed, or confused, or neurotic, but because I had seen the’future’.” Ababa reduced his smile, he said solemnly, knowing that Harry could Experience the weight of the word “future”.
“In the future? Wouldn’t you be…” Harry looked at him with a serious face as he began to sweat on his forehead.
“Our family has passed on to the present, and it has reached a very dangerous moment. The balance of world power has been broken. The gods could control the world firmly with his power, but the guy Lin Ye stole the power of the gods. This leads to a weakening of the power of the gods.”
“You should know what this means. It means that the gods no longer control the world. The world that is out of control will run away. The existences that have been thrown into darkness for countless years are all about to move, even if we are high above us, standing in the clouds. We who overlook the earth…”
“How can we guarantee stability in the face of the power that can break through the clouds and the sky? In the near future, darkness will fall on this land again, and our family will not be able to get a good death. This is the future I see!” Ababa said with a wry smile.
“How could… what Lin Ye did… what we did actually bring such serious consequences?” It was the first time Harry heard of this kind of thing, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“Lin Ye’s thoughts are good. This world has been controlled by gods for countless years. History has been repeated time and time again. It is chapters that have been written long ago. He wants to break the shackles and let mankind follow the gods. The power of the gods who got rid of the control, so I went to steal.”
Ababa shook his head slightly. Although he seems to be harmless to smiling humans and animals, he has lived too long, and living too long may mean that his thoughts have become rigid and stubborn, but he can also get enough knowledge and experience. , It is very clear where the history of this world will go.
“But such a future… can’t it be changed? And even your power…” Harry is very aware of Ababa’s power, otherwise he would not let the family affairs be left alone, the world’s willful behavior.
“Is my strength? My strength began to dry up a long time ago. It’s just that I maintain the superficial strength that prevents all parties from moving.” Ababa shook his head slightly. Regarding his own situation, he said no more. It’s not too clear.
“How could it be like this…” The young man shook his head, he didn’t expect things to turn into such a development.
“Fortunately, everything hasn’t reached the point of being irresistible.” Ababa smiled softly, kindly and cutely.
“So?” Harry faintly felt that what Ababa was about to say had something to do with what he was doing right now, otherwise he wouldn’t do such inexplicable things.
“The key to solving the problem is in the City of Arashi. I saw the City of Arashi in the’Future’ and saw a shadow passing by here.” Ababa continued.
“The shadow passes by? What does this mean?” Harry frowned.
“Where there is light, there is a shadow. The shadow comes from darkness, but not necessarily darkness.” Ababa explained with a smile.
“Don’t dumb me, make it clear.” Harry asked Ababa to give a straightforward answer.
“I also want to know exactly, but the future I see is only a tiny bit. The shadow will pass through the city of Lan, so I am waiting for him here.” Ababa continued.
“You have said so much, but haven’t made it clear yet. What does this have to do with Ellie and her marriage?” Harry knew that this was the crux of the problem. Now that Ababa sees the future and knows what is about to happen in the mainland, he You should do something specific for this.
“Because Ellie is the light that draws the shadow!” Ababa said with a smile.
“How could it be…Ellie…” If ordinary people heard these words, naturally they would not think there was anything, but Harry knew the meaning of the subtext in this sentence, and his whole body was trembling constantly, even if it was him. People of this level.
Deep fear was also reflected in his eyes.
“Yes, that’s it, this is a ridiculous fate, right?” Ababa’s words were quite self-deprecating.
“Maybe this is punishment.” Harry smiled bitterly.
“Yes, this is a punishment for us. All we can do is redemption.” Ababa responded softly.
