CHAPTER 1129: SECTION 701: AUTUMN WIND HEADING SOUTH (PART 1)

Early the next morning, Malin led the team away from Meng’s mansion, and Sage Fang came over on his motorcycle to pick them up. He said Sage Yu had rushed over from New Anzhou overnight—that was a factory in the north of New Hangzhou. Before the Great Destruction, it was a cultivation factory for Domestic Fairies, located in the underground Nest City. During the Era of Destruction, tectonic movements buried it deeper underground, yet the factory’s engineers, workers, and the Domestic Fairies produced there didn’t give up. They dug out a passage and established a city called New Anzhou on the surface.

Later, they became part of New Hangzhou.

Sage Yu himself is a Domestic Fairy—over the long course of time, humans from New Anzhou gradually intermarried with Domestic Fairies, and several of their surnames were descendants of engineers from back then.

Because of this, New Anzhou remains the premier industrial base in the southern region of Thainan and is one of the five major maintenance bases.

Having learned about Malin’s mission, Sage Yu specially brought a full set of equipment. According to him, there are four Power Armors from the Great Destruction era. He has one, Jason and Bei Luo each have two, and one is prepared for Malin.

Malin saw the Power Armor prepared for him at the preparatory area in the south of the city by Sage Fang, only to find it completely unsuitable for his physique. Instead, it fit Konen perfectly, so he gave it to him.

According to Sage Yu, this device also has an auxiliary aiming system, which is perfect for Konen. It allows him to test if it can effectively improve his hit rate.

Malin chose a camouflage uniform suitable for him, an optical camouflage cloak that could be driven by Spiritual Energy, and a short-barreled rifle using the Earth Union standard 10MM Armor-Piercing Bullet. Malin took out the 10MM kit from his alloy silencer assembly, installed a ribbed rail on this weapon full of primitive violent aesthetics, followed by a large red dot frame scope, curved large magazine, replacing the wooden stock of the rifle with a folding stock that matched the rail, and finally with a combination of red dot, flashlight set, and front grip.

Sage Yu watched Malin equip everything with his big eyes.

"Is there anything else you don’t know?" Malin asked with a smile—Domestic Fairies gave Malin the feeling like little children. Even though Sage Yu was almost seventy years old, his appearance and all Domestic Fairies were unchanged. After the timeless gene operation, the fact was that they secretly reached the end at beauty salons’ peril.

"I’ve learned everything," Sage Yu said with a smile, with none of the grandeur that an elder should have, without making Malin and them feel disrespectful to the old—Look, this is why Malin himself also diminishes in size, being small is truly perplexing, no one would ever think that a man normally looking 1.8 meters turns into a child of 1.2 meters suddenly.

The reason why Malin handed over the Legendary disguise nanocomponent to Mars was to keep the kid alive—such a disguise artifact must help Mars gain the upper hand in battles to assassinate enemies again and again.

As for Malin himself, he can switch between two bloodlines with one key. Only now the name Malin is well-known throughout Westland, and everyone knows Malin has two bloodlines to switch at will, making it hard to have a surprise opportunity.

But here, Malin hasn’t demonstrated yet, so there’s still a chance, the only question is... hoping for heaven to give Malin a chance.

But now, he is taking the team to find the ghostly thing called the ’Central Power Complex Safety Latch.’

Look, split the name ’Central Power Complex Safety Latch’ into individual words, Malin recognizes them all, but once they are combined, Malin doesn’t even know what it looks like.

However, this matter can be taken care of, with Jason and Bei Luo there, plus Sage Yu, it’s not a problem.

Ails also came over, as he peeked his head in as usual in the past, ducking it into the gap and then remembering Malin was present.

Thus this Lich dressed in a great leather coat with a large gold chain made a flashy entrance.

Sage Fang squinted his eyes, obviously astonished by the horrible outfit style Ails learned from Westland.

And Sage Yu immediately approached Ails: "Are you the Lich who killed many Chaos in Yangon? How did you get in here? There’s an Anti-Evil Magic Array set by the Immortal Master."

"Ah, that’s a long story starting from when I acted alongside Lord Malin", Ails also opted for transformation for convenience, turning into a Prairie Elf this time, choosing a light exoskeleton in absence of Power Armor.

"Wow, that must be a really long story.", Sage Yu expressed a unique curiosity of a Domestic Fairy.

"Of course, but I’m more curious about your civilization instead, look, this world is so fabulous, and my luck is bad, I can only see its appearance after destruction. If I could come to this world before the Great Destruction, it would certainly be an unforgettable experience for the rest of my life."

Since Malin followed Sage Fang to move towards the airship, Sage Yu followed Ails.

Their conversation made Malin nostalgic about the past, meeting Ails on the beach as if it were just yesterday, but in a blink, all those years have gone by.

"Mr. Malin, is this thing reliable?" Konen sat beside Malin, having a natural sense of awe for objects that can fly in the sky.
