Armor: The opening lane mage saved me

Teppanyaki Restaurant

Zizzi~

The moment I stepped into the store, the aroma filled the air—wow!

The aroma of delicious food is always captivating; a true culinary adventure.

As expected of the mistress of Kaiji, she's not only beautiful but also an excellent cook.

Xiao Tian and the other two also sat down, a rare moment when the two of them could quiet down.

"Come, come, come! I've made so much delicious food, come and eat!" (Welcome) He declared arrogantly.

Xiao Gang was initially quite happy; with delicious food in front of him, all his worries were about to vanish. But then Fei Shao came along and stirred things up again.

"Hey, stop picking a fight. I said it wasn't me, and that's final. If you don't believe me, go check the security footage yourself. You're blind and you're blaming me. Besides, you've encountered the Netherworld Demon being able to transform into a human at will before. And you say I'm brainless? Do you even have a brain yourself?"

Xiao Gang didn't give you any face either, and the two almost started arguing.

Fortunately, Xiaotian and Huanying managed to stabilize the situation and ease the tension.

"Xiao Fei, maybe that night it really was the Netherworld Demon disguised as Xiao Gang, deliberately making you think it was Xiao Gang. Their energy is getting stronger and stronger now, and they can freely transform into human form."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fei retorted.

"If that's really the case, why not just deal with me directly instead of going through all this trouble to set up this scheme?"

Xiao Tian replied, "That's also a question we've never figured out. Their ultimate goal isn't to destroy the armor, so what is it?"

Based on today's experience, I, Xiao Gang, the math genius, immediately declared, "It's so that we'll kill each other."

Xiao Tian suddenly had a brilliant idea. "That's right, this tactic is called 'using someone else's knife to kill someone.' They want us to gain traction, wear us down, and then reap the benefits."

"It's a welcome, and also a relief," he said. "Luckily, your knives didn't all turn on your own people. Okay, eat up."

Xiao Tian, ​​however, was wondering: what was the purpose of defeating three armor summoners simultaneously?

Kitchen of the villa on the mountainside

Louis, wearing an apron, was preparing dinner in the kitchen: a cup of rice wine, a cup of soy sauce, a cup of sesame oil... while skillfully tossing vegetables in another pot.

It's a shame he didn't become a chef.

The wife works hard outside, while the husband cooks at home.

Life can be so enjoyable.

At this moment, the door opened, and Minci changed her shoes.

When she got to the living room and found no one there, she heard noises from the kitchen and guessed that her husband was cooking.

Minci quietly walked over, came up behind Louis, and secretly covered his eyes.

"Stop fooling around, I'm cooking."

Louis chuckled lightly.

Minci hugged him from behind, pressing her face against Louis's strong back.

"You must have had a long day, my dear wife. The food will be ready soon."

"What did you all do today?"

Louis asked

"I didn't do anything special, just visited some relatives here."

Louis raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Your cousin, is that right?"

Minci blinked her eyes

"Yes, you've seen him?"

Louis smiled and nodded. "I've seen him, but he probably hasn't seen me."

Huh? What does that mean?

As the food was served, Minci began to wolf it down, much to Louis's dismay.

"Slow down, you're a mother now, but you're still acting like a child."

Seeing this, Louis served Minci a bowl of soup.

"Honey, do you think I've gained weight?" Louis looked up at her, scrutinizing her closely, and nodded.

"Indeed, she's gained weight in the right places." He then stared directly at a certain part of Minci's body.

Minci blushed with laughter.

"Hmph (￢︿?0?9?0?9￢☆), you scoundrel!"

Louis smiled contentedly. Life needs both fighting and tranquility; only then can one feel a sense of satisfaction.

This might be the ideal life for modern people, but reality is often cruel, with endless involution.

You can't out-roll, but if you don't, you might be eliminated.

Xiao Fei finished his meal and was planning to drive around to shake off the bad luck of the day.

"Pouch snatched! Thief!"

A woman's scream came from not far away. A man snatched a woman's bag and ran towards Xiaofei.

Xiao Fei put down his helmet, just as he was about to perform a heroic act, when a man dressed in white made his move first.

He kicked the thief, sending him flying backward, demonstrating the immense power of the kick. The man possessed an extraordinary air, resembling a Taoist hermit.

Xiao Fei, standing to the side, was also secretly amazed; what skill!

He quickly subdued the thief, returned the woman's bag, and was just about to leave when...

Xiao Fei walked up and gave a thumbs up.

"You're so young, but you're quite skilled. Impressive."

The man smiled slightly and said modestly, "You flatter me. There are always people more capable than me. I'm not that great."

The moment the two shook hands, the man's smile vanished, and he immediately grabbed Xiaofei's hand.

Xiao Fei couldn't pull it open no matter how hard he tried.

"What do you mean?" Xiaofei asked, puzzled.

"Hiei, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

That's right, the man is from one of the three great families, the family of cultivators.

He was in charge of armor combat techniques and armor upgrade techniques; he was also the great man who, with a mortal body, fought against the Netherworld Demon.

Early next morning

Xiao Tian accompanied Huan Ying to visit the Demon Suppression Tower. The two drove there.

Upon opening the gate, one is greeted by ancient and imposing statues. With a history spanning a thousand years, this tower, in a sense, is a historical relic.

"This tower was built by my ancestor at the request of the Armor Warriors before their deaths. It is said that at that time, the Armor Warriors and the Netherworld Demon Legion fought a great battle on Earth, apparently for some kind of treasure. After the final battle, three Armor Warriors also sacrificed themselves."

Xiao Tian has grasped the key point: it's all about a treasure. But what kind of treasure is it?

"I don't actually know what the treasure is, but according to our ancestors, it seems to be very important to Earth. In the end, to protect this treasure, the three armored warriors chose to perish together with the Netherworld Demon Legion."

Next, the welcoming party began to introduce him to the twenty-three statues inside the tower.

"Did they all perish together?" Xiao Tian asked, puzzled.

"Almost, but..."

"But what?"

"It seems the commander of the Netherworld Demon Legion escaped the final attack. Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten something important, something I just can't remember. But since he risked his life, why did he so blatantly leave his clothes in the middle, as if waiting for someone to steal them?"

Moreover, my mother told me that if the genetic code of those Netherworld Demons were activated, the Netherworld Demons would be resurrected. It's really strange that such important things are kept here.”

Xiao Tian thought for a moment, "If that's the case, then even the reason for building this tower is strange."

Welcome and approval

"But this tower is part of what our esoteric family guards. Our ancestors said there were two other families involved. We were the ones who guarded these secrets together. But so much time has passed, and we've lost contact with the other two families. To find out these secrets, we'll probably have to find many more people."

Speaking of this, something seems to have come to mind.

Xiao Tian looked at Huan Ying and asked what was the matter.

"I vaguely remember my grandmother saying that a small squad in the Netherworld Demon Legion mysteriously disappeared back then. The Armor Warriors couldn't find them either. My ancestor was also commissioned by the Armor Warriors, but he never found them, and it seems that the matter was left unresolved."
