Chapter 144: New Year. (4000 Word Chapter)
"Huh? Is it snowing?"
A cold feeling came from the top of the head.
Rowan looked up, and the vast white dots filled his vision.
Stretch out your hand, let the snowflakes fall on your palm, and be turned into tiny water droplets by the temperature of your body.
After a while, the joyful voices of the little kids in the village yelling "It's snowing" sounded.
Alyssa looked sideways at Rowan who caught the snowflake.
"Is this the first time you've seen snow?"
"No, it's just that it rarely snows where I live."
In the sixteen years he lived in Ade Village, he had only experienced snow twice.
Every time it snows, that girl, Shirati, will excitedly pull him to play on the snow.
Looking at the time of the magic machine, it was already half past three.
New Year's Eve is coming.
The village moved out the old grandfather clock and put it in the open space next to the large bonfire in the center of the village. Everyone gathered to chat and eat snacks, waiting for the New Year's Eve.
It's a pity that the village is too backward, and they don't even have a simple magic TV, so they can't watch the local country's New Year's Eve programs.
"Why are you two sitting together?"
Mirka's voice came.
The richest man in the world looked at Rowan and Alyssa who were sitting side by side on a small bench in the corner with some surprise, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Could it be that... a drawbridge effect has been created in this dangerous situation?
Fairy queen in love with ordinary boy?!
Shake the richest man in the world for a whole year!
"Although I don't know what's in your brain, I'll deny it anyway." Rowan complained blankly.
Alyssa asked softly: "Miljia, did you come out to celebrate New Year's Eve?"
"Well, I still have to live a good year."
Mirja stretched her waist, allowing people to barely see some attractive silhouettes buried under the wide cloak.
"Is the potion off?" Rowan asked.
"Not yet, probably tomorrow afternoon.
"Just arrived in the village for a day..."
"Well, don't think so much now, just have a good New Year."
"What about Aozawa? Why haven't I seen her?"
"I kept her in the house trying to get the drug off."
"...Tsk, Capital Jia."
"Hey~, interesting nickname, you mean 'capitalist', right? What does that mean?"
"you guess?"
Rowan didn't answer directly, but thought in his heart.
Shall we give this extraordinary world a little red shock?
Long-lived species also brought unavoidable side effects when their lives were lengthened—that is, it was difficult to change.
From the establishment of civilization in the previous two lifetimes, 033 developed many great ideas in only a few thousand years.
However, this life is not inferior to the previous two lives in terms of the length of civilization and history, but it is still in a feudal society, most of which are ruled by kings and emperors. There is no such system as the federal president.
But that's all.
Ideas need new blood.
The lifespan of a professional is too long. A high-level professional can live for hundreds of years at most, and a top professional can live for thousands of years.
The span of one generation is stretched very long, and it is difficult to change.
As a result, the world's technological development (magic technology) is excellent, but the ideology is very poor.
There is not even the concept of "capitalist"... It cannot be said that there is no such thing, but it is very vague and does not have a very precise definition.
Faced with Rowan's rhetorical question, Mirja didn't make fun of herself and continued to ask.
Just getting along these days, she discovered that this little guy has a lot of secrets, but his mouth is very strict.
It's hard to get him to say anything.
After chatting with each other for a while, Christina invited them to come to the big clock and wait for the New Year's Eve together.
Rowan moved the small bench and sat next to Christina with Mirka and Alyssa.
The two ladies still looked a little strange with their hoods on, but the villagers didn't care about it and chatted happily.
"It looks like I'm not late."
In the last few minutes, Lan Ze also came over and sat next to Mirjia.
It seems that this Capital Jia still has some humanity after all.
It was almost midnight.
In the laboratory on the second floor of the basement.
The sound of electric current and sparks kept ringing in the wide test field outside the laboratory.
Bellaria looked at the huge mechanical skeleton with a slight shape in front of her, exhaled slowly, and lifted up the protective mask she had put on.
The huge mechanical skeleton with a little bit of shape exudes a dazzling light under the illumination of the light. Obviously, the metal used as the material must be extraordinary.
"As far as the results are concerned, Tian's special alloy of several high-grade magic metals has indeed achieved the desired effect...even far surpassed it."
Bellaria calculated in her heart.
The material of this huge mechanical skeleton is an alloy made by herself.
The strength of this alloy is comparable to the main material for making top-notch magical defensive equipment—that is, the main material used for defensive magical equipment at the seventh and eighth tiers.
She would never have been able to do it before.
To be able to do this, there are two things that helped her.
One, is her top-level creation trait, which brings great convenience to research, and understanding the power of recurrence speeds up the progress of experimental testing.
The other is the periodic table of elements.
And both of these are obtained from him.
Bellaria suddenly felt a little irritable.
Although Ye Jian came back to tell them that the newcomers should be fine, this was guaranteed by an eighth-tier professional who suspected of time magic.
From this point of view, the probability of his safe return should be as high as 95%.
But she couldn't help worrying.
I really... have changed a lot...
Obviously, even if there is only a 20% or 30% success rate, she can carry out the experiment without hesitation, but now that the probability is as high as 99%, she is starting to worry.
Since returning from the ruins, she doesn't believe in probability much.
foot
"Um?"
Bellaria took out the magic phone in the pocket of the white coat and connected to the communication.
"Hi, Bella."
Jessie's elegant and soft voice sounded.
"What's wrong?"
"It's the New Year's Eve. Except for Leader Ye and Xiaowen who are on missions, everyone is watching the Federation's Spring Festival Gala in the lobby. You are the only one who is preparing for the New Year's Eve."
"......I see."
"Bella, I know you are very worried about Xiaowen, but...... Please believe in Captain Ye, and Xiaowen, she will definitely return safely.
Sensing Bellaria's low tone, Jeersey couldn't help but said.
"And, didn't your probability also calculate that Xiaowen has a probability of more than 95% to return?"
"...I don't trust the 95%."
This sentence was beyond the expectation of Jie Erxi, and also beyond the expectation of the dawn members who were eavesdropping on the conversation on the other side of the magic machine.
Bellaria looked at the creation that was gradually born because of him in front of her, and said what the boy who had brought changes to her had said.
"Compared to cold numbers, I believe that everything is man-made, and I believe in...him."
"It's the first time to experience New Year's Eve on the battlefield."
On the front line where the truce lasted for half a day, Zhang Daoyuan adjusted the portable magic video camera and switched channels in a tent of a military camp on Rodani's side.
"It's a pity that the elves in military uniform don't talk to you during the war... What a hateful war!"
After complaining, Zhang Daoyuan showed a very regretful expression.
"Leader Ye, do you want to watch the Federation's New Year's Gala or Daxia's?"
Zhang Daoyuan turned around and asked.
Although the federation is mixed with various races and human (bhfg) races, Zhang Daoyuan knew that Ye Jian was not actually a yellow race native to the federation, but a big planner.
"Federal."
Ye Jian lay back on the sofa taken out of the magic storage tool, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and pouring it into his mouth.
This is the battlefield!
"Are you sure? I remember you haven't watched Daxia's channel for a long time."
..... The smelly old man doesn't know how long he can last. Maybe this time or the next time will be the last time he will participate in the New Year's Gala. Give him some face and wait until he sends it to see the building.
"That's right, I don't know how long the President can last."
Zhang Daoyuan tuned the channel to the Federation's Spring Festival Gala.
"Leader Ye, how long do you think Your Excellency the President can last?"
"I bet he will die this year!" Ye Jian said firmly.
"...you say that every year and it doesn't work.
"This is the benefit of the reverse flag. As long as it is set up like this, the old man will not die this year."
Ye Jian said solemnly, looking at President Homaton who was sitting in the VIP seat in the front row in the magic video camera.
"I don't know how Brother Luo is doing now."
"That kid should come back safely, if that sword head dares to lie to me, I'll kill her when I reach the eighth step.
Ye Jian said without hesitation.
What about the imitation trait, she also has it, and it was provided by her kid.
Ye Jian, who is about to develop a magical skin, is full of confidence in the hook provided by Rowan.

"Stinky Ah Wen, you agreed to come back and spend the New Year with me."
In a wooden house in Ade Village, Lati pouted, watching the Spring Festival Gala on the TV with dissatisfaction.
Just a few days ago, Xiao Xiaoxiao sent her a message, saying that Ah Wen had something to do and would not come back for the time being, and that he couldn't say much about confidentiality.
Probably some secret mission of the mysterious organization.
"Okay, Xiaowen must be busy with something important, so don't blame him.
The mature and beautiful Aunt Rami sat next to her daughter, gently stroking her head.
Only when her mother touched her head did the dark green girl not resist.
"Besides, Xiaowen has been with you for 16 years, so it's not bad this time, is it?"
Uncle Li, who was wearing ordinary civilian clothes, trousers and boots, wiped the ordinary long sword in his hand boredly.
Today, when I was training with my daughter, the long sword was dirty by all kinds of gravel and dust blown by the wind.
Alas.....Really, I don't know how merciful my subordinates are, they have already broken through to the fourth step, and they use such a lot of force on my father, a little golden core monk who is in the third step.
And there is training on the eve of the Spring Festival, which has never happened before.
This daughter is really getting curly.
Suddenly, the host in the magic video machine said loudly.
"The time has come, everyone, let us start the countdown to the new year!"
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala immediately reached a climax, and the atmosphere of the audience in front of the magic video camera or in front of the clock reached its peak.
"10!"
"9!"
Leti hurriedly read the countdown along with her, and at the same time made a New Year's wish in her heart.
"I hope that in the days to come, I and my important people can be happy!"
The members of the dawn group also made a new year's wish at this moment.
"8!"
"I hope the old man will pass the year safely and the boy will come back smoothly.
"I hope I can find a girlfriend, and brother Luo can return safely."
"7!"
"I hope Arwen can return safely, the theory of relativity and
I still have a lot of questions to ask about quantum mechanics and other books.
"I hope Xiaowen/Awen/Rowan can come back safely."*4
And it wasn't just these people, there were many people Rowan knew and didn't know.
"6!"
"It's another year... Then... I hope I can complete my revenge, and it's best to find a new meaning in life after I complete it." The gray-haired mercury girl said in a remote town.
The city looked at the sky full of snow.
"5!"
"It's a new year... I will definitely find our hope." The emperor in the golden dragon robe stared at the night sky outside the hall.
"I don't know when my daughter will be able to bring my granddaughter back to see my old bones." The middle-aged woman with a slightly wrinkled face and wearing a dress looked at the old woman not long ago.
The photo left by the daughter and her son-in-law came back to visit relatives, with a warm smile on her face.
"4!"
"In the end, we still have to come to the basement laboratory to accompany you during the New Year's Eve." Lan Ju complained as she leaned against the fat man.
"Hahaha, don't mind," said Salmas, who was soaking in the training chamber, with a big laugh.
"Saar, don't try to practice magic next time when you recover. If you do this, your full recovery period will be extended by another month." Mokoman said helplessly.
"Okay bro!"
"I don't know how long it will take to complete the Langleys mission." Zi, a woman with black hair and purple pupils, said sitting on the other side of the obese man.
"Zi Mo, don't worry, the Elf Queen in the weak stage will not be the opponent of Langeles." The fat man said in a deep voice.
"That's right...it's the New Year's Eve, so everyone knows it?" Zi Ju glanced at everyone except the fat man.
Everyone smiled and said in unison:
"In the new year, I wish your majesty/boss to go further on the road of conquering the world!"*
The obese man looked at this scene, showing a warm smile without any impurities.
"3!"
"Nineteen years..."
The figure in the red robe stood on the top of the uninhabited mountain, silent.
"2!"
"It's another year... I hope that the day when I meet him will come soon."
A beautiful girl with chestnut hair sits on a stone pier in front of a dark whirlpool, praying.
"1!"
Everyone in the village raised their hands, and Rowan, Mirjia and others could not help but participate in the enthusiastic atmosphere.
"Happy New Year!" *n.
