"Before I left, Mom gave me some small props. Dad, you don't have to worry about me getting hurt."

"Props? What props?"

"Dad, do you still remember the Armor Hero movie we watched together when we were little?"

Zanze himself also had a space ring, from which he took out a metal belt, and then took out a card that was obviously made of the demon clan. The magic power on it was completely at the level of the great demon clan.

Oh shit, could it be that... you really dote on me, Celie!

"What are you talking about?" Fulilian, whose magic power was almost exhausted, stepped back to rest for a while, and saw the father and daughter communicating, and came over curiously.

Although Fulilian had experienced a fierce battle at this time, her dress was not stained at all and was still as holy and beautiful as a lotus.

When Zanze saw Fulilian coming and saw her outfit, he obviously hesitated for a moment, and handed the belt and card to Ivan with great hesitation.

"Forget it, though. My entire fighting power is basically in my hair, so it would be wasted if I transform. Dad, you should use the Shura Armor. After transforming, you can not only gain the magic power of the demons in the cards and the magic they have cultivated for a lifetime, but also increase your attack and defense power."

"Ok?"

Although Ivan didn't quite understand why Zanze suddenly changed his mind, he was still very happy to take the transformation equipment and smiled like a child weighing over 100 pounds.

Fulilian (Thousand Years of Past): Chapter 41: My Sword Is Not at All Disadvantageous

"Asura armor, fit together!"

Although this so-called transformation magic does not require shouting slogans, Ivan feels that it would be missing something if he doesn't shout it out loud.

The moment the card made by the Great Demon was inserted into the transformation device, huge magic power began to emerge from the belt and quickly covered Ivan's entire body.

During this process, his body was surrounded by a layer of purple light, which then dissipated, replaced by a hideous set of armor shining with metallic luster.

"What kind of magic is this?" Fulilian asked curiously with bright eyes. "I can sense immense magical power from this armor."

“This is the transformation magic of love.”

Ivan clenched his fists and felt his whole body was filled with energy. Moreover, the magic practiced by this great demon was also very interesting. It was actually a magic that could predict the future.

However, to say that one can predict the future is nothing more than using one's own magic power to pry open the rules of the world to make deductions, and to infer the future based on the current state of the world.

There is a very fatal flaw in this, which is the inability to include quantities that have not been observed in the world into the calculation system. This is probably the enemy that Celie encountered in the wild after they left. She killed the opponent instantly through magic that has never been shown in this world.

People who can predict the future are often very confident and think that the world is under their control, which makes them arrogant. It is very normal to have such an outcome.

Ivan naturally would not use such a huge amount of magic power to deduce the future. He only used it as external computing power to assist himself in calculations.

"We'll discuss the details after this is over. Right now, the most important thing is to make these demons pay the price for invading human territory!"

After saying this, Ivan returned to the battlefield.

Compared to being cautious before, killing monsters is much more enjoyable now that I have armor on. All attacks have become slow and traceable, and the weaknesses of all monsters are also obvious at a glance. It's like cheating, and I quickly slaughtered all the monsters and demons.

During the post-war inventory, it was found that the living people suffered very few casualties because the zombie troops fought bravely and resisted damage. In addition, the defeated soldiers were recruited, and the military strength increased with each battle.

The next step was to head to Vine City. After unifying the cause of death of the city lord and his son, the entire army set out again and arrived at the foot of Vine City in less than an hour.

Although the barrier only blocked the demons, there was still a city gate. Ivan stepped forward and shouted, "Open the gate. Ivan, Viscount of Suiye City, is here to bring you warmth. Folks, don't be afraid. I have completely eliminated the Demon King's troops. Now I want to enter the city to rest."

A noble lady hurriedly climbed up the city wall and asked, "Mr. Viscount, since you have defeated the Demon King's army in this area, where are my father and brother, the city lord, now?"

"Unfortunately, the Lord of Vine City and his son have been murdered by the cruel demons. The soldiers behind me can all testify to this."

The noble lady suddenly heard the news of her father and brother's death and fell backward unconscious. Fortunately, someone was there to protect her, otherwise she would have definitely suffered a concussion.

Ivan was just getting impatient. "Please open the door quickly! My troops have been fighting the demons for a long time and are extremely tired. We urgently need to get to a safe place in the city to rest."

A middle-aged man on the city wall, also dressed in aristocratic attire, responded, "Thank you, Viscount Ivan, for leading the troops to rescue us. However, our Vine City is filthy and cramped, and we can't squeeze out such a large space for an army of several thousand people to relax. Why don't you camp outside the city for a while? We'll provide food and water."

The city gates must never be opened.

Word of Ivan's actions in Suiye City had spread to Vine City long ago, and all the nobles had designated him as someone they needed to be wary of.

That was killing nobles, and without the king's consent, they directly wiped out the whole family and confiscated their property, and even took away all the land. They were simply barbarians among barbarians!

If such a person were allowed into the city, who knows how many noble people he would harm. Even if we were to break off relations with him, we would never open the door to him.

"I say again, open the door and let my army in." Ivan flew directly to the city wall.

Many archers immediately drew their bows and aimed their arrows at him, and the surrounding warriors also drew their swords.

"Huh? Do you think of me as an enemy?" Ivan raised his eyebrows.

The middle-aged noble shouted, "Is this how you treat the heroes who came to your rescue?! Put down your weapons immediately!"

Then he gave Ivan a flattering smile and said, "Viscount Ivan, we completely agree that you can go into the city to relax, but if an army of several thousand men comes in and disturbs the people and causes an accident or dispute, it will be embarrassing for both you and me."

"Don't worry, they won't dare disturb the people. I guarantee it on my noble reputation."

Ivan said with certainty.

Anyone who dared to disobey his orders and disturb the public would have long since become a member of the zombie special operations force.

Although whether the army can enter the city and station there is not important, the attitude of the people in Vine City towards him is very important.

Come up and test it out, I guess it’s not enough to just talk if you want to seize power.

At this time, the middle-aged noble still showed no sign of giving in. "Viscount Ivan, now that the city lord and heir are dead, as the highest-ranking noble in Vine City, I have become the acting city lord. It is my responsibility to ensure the safety of the city's residents. I hope you will forgive me."

"I've sworn on my honor, yet you still don't trust me. This makes me very sad. When a noble's honor is damaged, it's okay to challenge the other party to a duel. Do you want to test the sharpness of my sword?"

With a crisp sound and a dazzling sword light, the sharp blade, which had stained the lives of countless demons and humans, pointed at the middle-aged noble.

Facing Ivan's threat, a burly knight beside the middle-aged noble stepped forward, his sword unsheathed, and shouted, "My sword is not at all disadvantageous!"

The atmosphere became tense again.

"I've already told you not to point your weapons at our hero, Viscount Ivan. He has no intention of harming us."

The middle-aged noble grabbed the knight's hand again and forcibly stuffed the sword back into his hand. "This is all the fault of our Vine City. We couldn't provide a good resting place for the army."

He stood in front of Ivan's sword with a calm attitude, looking into Ivan's eyes calmly.

"You are very good, a talented person."

Ivan also put away his sword. It was rare for him to meet a noble who was not a fool, and he began to appreciate his talent.

"In that case, I won't bother you any more. I'm going to withdraw my troops back to Suiye City. Please settle the expenses for the expedition. By the way, I've also recruited most of the defeated soldiers from Vine City. I hope you can gather enough troops before the next demon attack."

The middle-aged noble: "...Let's talk about the army entering the city to rest."

Fulilian (A Thousand Years of Past): Chapter 42: When You Stare at the Funny, the Funny Stares Back at You

Although they hesitated at the city gate for a long time, under the influence of the ruthless reality, Ivan's army finally entered his loyal Vine City as they wished.

Of course, the zombie special operations team was taken into Ivan's space ring early on, and the troops entering the city were all living people.

Judging from the military discipline of the current era, the middle-aged nobleman did have reason to worry that they would disturb the people, but to his surprise, this powerful army in front of him, which exuded a belligerent temperament, was like a group of good kids under Ivan's command.

Orders are strictly enforced and discipline is maintained.

The other incompetent nobles didn't notice anything and were just a little surprised, but the middle-aged nobles knew how much effort it took to raise such an army and how strong the commander's strength and personal charm must be.

To be honest, even the old king's direct troops are not as good as them in terms of military discipline, and this is still due to the fact that some local defeated soldiers from Vine City are holding them back.

"How is it? Mr. Temporary City Lord, what I guarantee with my reputation is still very credible, right?"

"Viscount Ivan, your ability to command the army is amazing."

Ivan was not flattered by the hype. It was the most terrifying stick plus the most delicious sweet date. Anyone who had completed the normal nine years of compulsory education could go.

"Mr. Temporary City Lord, I would like to ask about the situation of the Lord of Vine City. Because I left in a hurry when providing support, many things have not been investigated."

"The city lord is a hereditary earl. His wife passed away due to illness, and he has a son and a daughter. His territory originally had nearly 50,000 people. But after Giant Root City was completely conquered by the demons last year, this place became the front line of the fight against the demons, causing the population to decline sharply."

The middle-aged nobleman's expression became somewhat uneasy. "While the demons are to blame for the sharp decline in population, the city lord's own foolish actions also played a large role... Never mind, he's already dead, so I won't continue to criticize him."

Ivan was not surprised by his emotion. After all, he had met the city lord once before, so it was only natural for him to do something stupid.

Intuitively, the fact that Vine City was able to hold out for a year under the intense offensive of the demons was probably largely due to the efforts of this middle-aged nobleman in front of him.

Ivan asked again, "After the old city lord and his son died, his title and position as lord should have been inherited by his daughter, right?"

"Of course, but Miss Anna is still underage and lacks the experience and knowledge to be a lord. If she were to take office right now, the city would probably be in chaos again."

The other party laughed at himself, "Even though the demons have already reached our doorstep, a bunch of people are still thinking about how to fight for fame and fortune. I'm afraid that in your eyes, Viscount Ivan, I am also one of them, as I can't wait to take on the role of acting city lord."

"It doesn't matter."

Ivan said frankly, "Anyway, I really do want to come here and seize the city lord's throne. And you definitely can't beat me. I have an army."

Middle-aged noble: "..."

Because he was too frank, even though the handsome young man in front of him had bad intentions, he felt inexplicably refreshed.

"Viscount Ivan, although I admire your honesty, your actions completely violate the laws of the kingdom. You will definitely not pass the test of His Majesty the King."

"Emmmm, that's true. It's not pretty to try to force it too directly. The main reason is that we're not strong enough right now."

The Son of Heaven is a powerful army, but if he forcibly launches a civil war in the kingdom, even if he wins, it will be a pyrrhic victory, and his own strength will be wasted. A kingdom that big must have top-level warriors as its foundation.

"As long as we act within the rules...!"

Ivan thought about it for a moment, then it dawned on him.

"I see that the old city lord's daughter, Anna, is also very pretty. If I marry her, wouldn't it be legitimate for me to take the position of city lord?"

"Lord Ivan, Anna is only thirteen years old and not yet an adult!"

"Just get an engagement first. With an engagement, you can take the lead."

Although he knew Ivan wasn't attracted by her beauty, the middle-aged noble still frowned, "As for an engagement, Anna already has a fiancé."

"Then you make some arrangements and cancel the engagement."

"The one I'm betrothed to is my son, the young knight who stood beside me on the wall and dared to draw his sword against you."

"..."

The air was inexplicably silent for a moment.

"Actually, I saved your son's life, did you know that?" Ivan spoke up, breaking the dull atmosphere. "At the moment he drew his sword, I could have killed him. No one else could have saved him, but I ultimately didn't. Do you think this is a life-saving favor?"

Are you really a logical genius?!

If you are so good at logic, why don’t you talk to those demons?

"And I am still giving your son a great blessing." Ivan crossed his arms in front of his chest in the same posture as Celia.

After living together for a long time, habits will tend to be assimilated, which is what we call husband and wife looking alike.

"After all, a great opportunity like breaking off an engagement isn't something that just any small character can encounter. Once the breakup is successful, your son will go from being a minor character, not even worthy of a name, to a famous protagonist. From then on, he'll pick up a ring containing an old man's soul, travel the continent collecting magic, meet all sorts of beautiful girls along the way, and experience many delightful plot twists..."

Ivan swore confidently, "Compared to wasting my time in this small town, isn't that kind of life a great blessing?"

Middle-aged noble: "..."

I think it’s nice to just stay in a small town and waste time.

But after thinking about it carefully, if this guy in front of him really wanted to snatch the engagement, he would directly have a one-on-one knight duel with his son...hiss!

"Viscount Ivan is absolutely right. Breaking off an engagement can indeed help a man grow rapidly. I will go back and convince my son to give up the engagement."

"A man who knows the current situation is a hero. This refers to people like you, the acting city lord. Don't worry, when I take sole power, you will still be the head of this city."

Ivan had a relieved smile on his face.

Perhaps it was the power of faith that made this smile deeply imprinted in the middle-aged noble's mind, as if it was going to infect his entire soul.

It was not until a long time after Ivan left that he came to his senses, and a thick layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"How terrifying! Is this also some kind of magic? It's like I've been brainwashed and want to swear allegiance to him!"

Evil, so evil!

After making sure that the army would not cause chaos, the middle-aged nobleman Humphrey hurried back to the city wall to find his son Jack to discuss the cancellation of the engagement and also to tell him an important news.

Never stare at Viscount Ivan's smile for too long!

Fulilian (Thousand Years of Past): Chapter 43: Women are just a part of the play between men

With the arrival of spring, the temperature has warmed up, and coupled with the rare sunny weather, some cold-fearing elves who like to stay at home have also started outdoor activities.

A breeze blew, and ripples appeared on the calm lake surface.

With her long silver hair loose, Fulilian found a shady spot to sit down and began to flip through the magic book in her hand. This was an ancient treasure she found in the study of the mayor of Vine City, which recorded some quite interesting magic.

After a while, Ivan came to her with a fishing rod and bucket, looking very happy, and started to bait the nest.
