History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws-Chapter 614
614 Dragon-slaying weapon! The Emperor comes out of seclusion!
Before he returned to rage tide city, Shen lang went to the lost Country ruins, the pyramid at the top of the snow Mountain. He wanted to experience the Dragon’s enlightenment again because he had indeed come too early the last time.
Shen lang had always had a misconception. He thought that he had to go through the Dragon enlightenment first before looking for the Dragon. However, that was not the case at all. His father, Jiang Li, had already completed the Dragon’s contract, and Shen lang only had to renew it. He did not need the Dragon enlightenment at all.
On the other hand, if Shen lang spent some time with the Dragon before he tried to comprehend it, the effect would be better and he would have a deeper understanding. This kind of Dragon enlightenment is completely dependent on your own understanding and wisdom at the time. When you feel that you’ve reached a dead end and can’t comprehend anything new, it will automatically stop.
Fortunately, Shen lang had seen the mysterious characters from the other world in the ancient prison and had studied them many times. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get a basic understanding of the Dragon and would have ended at the beginning.
At this time, the giant dragon was still flying arrogantly in the sky, and its figure could not be seen at all.
Shen lang rode on the Super and slowly landed on the platform at the peak of the snow Mountain in the ruins of The Lost Country. He came to the entrance of the pyramid.
great sages, Shen lang is here to visit again. I would like to request to experience the Enlightenment of the Dragon again. Shen lang said.
However, it was silent inside.
Shen lang once again requests for the Enlightenment of the Dragon.
There was still no response.
Great Tribulation Wisdom King, Shen lang, once again requests for the Enlightenment of the Dragon.
There was still no response from inside.
Could it be that he only had one chance? What should he do next? Shen lang could not possibly let the Dragon come down and threaten the pyramid. He told the Dragon King to destroy the pyramid if he did not get the Enlightenment of the Dragon.
The problem now was that the great Yan Empire also had a giant dragon, and it was definitely older than Shen Lang’s. Moreover, the Emperor of Great Yan had been comprehending the Dragon’s enlightenment for a few years. Shen lang was a young dragon, and he had just started to understand the concept of Dragons. He was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage.
However, the inside of the pyramid remained silent.
dear sages, ” Shen lang said, ” do I only have one chance to comprehend the Dragon? ”
A moment later, a sigh came from inside, ” “It’s not like that.”
Shen lang said,”then, can I have another round of enlightenment of the Dragon here?” I think there should be a new breakthrough this time.”
I think so too, ” the voice said. but the word that Yingying wrote for you last time has exhausted all of our spirit and strength. Even Yingying still has some life left.
Shen Lang’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
“Of course, we don’t care about death anymore.” The person inside said,”however, Your Majesty Shen lang, every time you try to gain enlightenment, you will need to pay with our lives.” It’s because we have to use all our spirit, soul, and everything else to write that word for you.”
Shen lang became even more silent. Once again, he felt the words, ” Emperor Shen lang, you came early.
That’s right, he really came early the last time and wasn’t prepared enough. Although it couldn’t be said that he wasted a Dragon’s enlightenment, Qianqian could’ve comprehended it more deeply, because this was written by a great sage at the cost of his life and soul.
The voice inside said again, ” Your Majesty Shen lang, if you are sure that you are ready, we can write this word for you again. Of course, after this, this pyramid will be completely abandoned. This is because the rest of us will no longer exist.
In other words, this group of people had to sacrifice their lives to complete the Last Dragon’s writing so that Shen lang could comprehend it.
Your Majesty Shen lang, we are not afraid of death at all. In fact, death is a form of release. Living is an endless torture for us. However, we do not dare to die before we complete our mission.
one more thing, we really didn’t know that the person who came was you. We thought that it would be the last Ming King of the Great Tribulation Temple.
Shen lang said,”this dragon egg clearly belongs to the Jiang family.” May I ask when it came to this world after the comet’s impact?”
“It’s been a long time, longer than you can imagine,” the voice inside said. Of course, all of this is meaningless. This Dragon has become your contractor in the end, so you’re the only wise King of great calamity.”
Then, the other party asked again,”Your Majesty Shen lang, are you ready?” If you’re ready, then we can start the second and last Dragon enlightenment.”
Shen lang closed his eyes and started to think.
The first Dragon’s enlightenment was carried out in such a hurry, but at least it was not without any gains. Because he had studied those mysterious characters, he had successfully entered the rudiments.
Was he really ready this time? Was he really going to use up his precious Dragon insight? Was this the last chance to gain enlightenment of the Dragon given by the great sages in the pyramid at the cost of their lives and souls?
After a long while, Shen lang said, ” I’m not ready. I’ll come again next time.
alright, ” the great sage inside the pyramid said. then we will gather all our spirit and soul and wait for the next arrival of His Majesty, the wisdom King.
“Masters, goodbye,” Shen lang said.
“Your Majesty Shen lang, what is your biggest problem?” the great sage asked.
“The final battle with the great Yan Empire,” Shen lang said.
The great sage of the pyramid was silent for a moment and said, ” “Oh, it’s Jiang Ji’s battle again.”
“Master, is there no meaning to this battle?” Shen lang asked.
“No, of course it does.” The great sage of the pyramid said, ” whether it’s in the ancient world or this world, Jiang Ji’s final battle is of great significance. The eastern world can only have one leader, can’t it?”
Shen lang wanted to repeat himself. He had no interest in becoming the human Emperor of the East, but he did not say it.
“Your Majesty, what are you worried about?” the great sage of the pyramid asked.
Shen lang said, ” there’s also a Dragon in the great Yan Empire. It’s older than mine. Furthermore, the Emperor of Great Yan has a deeper understanding of Dragons.
you also have an unparalleled advantage, ” the great sage of the pyramid said. because you’re not alone. Your brain has a thousand years of wisdom and memories of the great calamity Wisdom King.
Shen lang said,”yes, this gives me a strong mental energy.” Unfortunately, this memory is still sealed to me and I can’t read it. ”
“Really?” the great sage of the pyramid asked. That Yingluo is really strange.”
Shen lang said,”is it strange?” Wasn’t it because the time wasn’t up? Wasn’t it because great calamity Wisdom King’s spirit, soul, and memories were blocked?”
I don’t think so, ” the great sage said. once it’s inherited, the spiritual data should be unreserved. Although you may not be able to understand it and will need a long time to comprehend it, it will definitely not be blocked or blocked. It will definitely not make you completely unable to see or sense it. ”
Then, it was strange for Tao Wu. The soul inheritance of great calamity Wisdom King gave Shen lang a huge boost in his mental energy, but it was like the information in a computer’s hard disk that was completely hidden. It took up half the space of the hard disk, but he could not see it at all. He could not even find where it was.
Shen lang had always thought that great calamity Wisdom King’s soul had blocked it, but it did not seem like it.
Then why? Then who had blocked this spiritual memory?
The great sage of the pyramid said, ” but you clearly had a basic understanding of the Dragon last time. If you didn’t understand part of the memory of great calamity Wisdom King, how could you have this wisdom? ” It’s because it’s a completely different way of civilization, and it’s impossible to learn anything from scratch.”
Shen lang said, ” because I have seen similar mysterious words. They are very mysterious and fascinating. They are very similar to what you wrote. However, they don’t change. They are still. I have studied them for a long time. Although I still can’t understand them, I can’t help but sigh.
I see, ” the great sage of the pyramid said.”Although you still haven’t figured out the meaning of those words, your thinking has been changed, so when you first carried out the Dragon’s insight, you had an entry-level result. Is, is this also the will of the heavens?”
Masters, ” Shen lang said, ” how should I remove the great calamity Wisdom King’s mental seal and read the wisdom and memories? ”
The great sage of the pyramid said, ” Your Majesty Shen lang, we can’t do anything about this. You have to rely on yourself. ‘Change with your wisdom, your understanding, and your determination.’ There must be a reason why it’s in a blocked state, and to a certain extent, it should be your own fault. You just haven’t found it yet.”
I understand, ” Shen lang said. I will think about it. Thank you, Masters.
The great sage of the pyramid asked,”Oh right, does your Majesty Shen lang know that The Lost Empire had researched on dragon slaying weapons?”
“Yes, I know that,” Shen lang said.
This was because Shen lang had discovered uranium of a higher purity in The Lost Empire. It was found in the ruins of The Lost Empire by the skeleton gang.
Of course, the amount of uranium soran got this time was even larger, which should also be from The Lost Empire.
Then, Shen lang continued, ” however, I have been to the great Devil’s Triangle. That should be the front line where Queen Medusa attacked the ancient Eastern Empire. I did not find any traces of the city being burned by a Dragon. However, I did not find any energy aura of a uranium weapon attack.
The great sage of the pyramid said, ” the dragon-slaying weapon of the ancient Lost Empire should have been manufactured to a certain extent. There are real finished weapons. However, their level of confidentiality is very, very high. After that, countless people tried to find it but failed.”
Shen lang had thought about this before. Uranium was only a material used by The Lost Empire to make dragon-slaying weapons. Furthermore, they had prepared so much uranium. It was obvious that their research had reached a certain stage. Otherwise, they would only need a small amount for the initial experiment. Would they need dozens of tons?
Therefore, logically speaking, the ancient Lost Empire should really have a finished dragon slaying weapon.
To Shen lang, the ultimate weapon for uranium was, of course, a nuclear bomb.
An even more ultimate weapon would be a hydrogen bomb. Its power was even more astonishing than an atomic bomb, and it even needed an atomic bomb to detonate it.
However, The Lost Empire was still far from that level. This was because the purity of the uranium needed for a nuclear bomb was extremely high, at around 90%. The finished product of The Lost Empire was only around 1% purity, not even enough to be used as a reactor in a nuclear power plant.
As such, The Lost Empire’s dragon slaying weapon should not be perfect yet, but it should be enough as a support.
The great sage of the pyramid said, ” the lost demon mother is the Queen of the second Lost Empire. Although she is a descendant, she has also inherited some of the resources and materials of the ancient Lost Empire. The most important thing is that she should have the most information about the ancient Lost Empire. Hence, she should have memories of The Lost Empire’s dragon slaying weapon.”
Masters, ” Shen lang said, ” you actually imprisoned her body but did not read her memories? ”
The great sage of the pyramid said, ” Your Majesty, the process is very complicated. You can’t even say that we imprisoned her body. To some extent, we preserved her body for her. We have a half-hostile relationship with her, but also a half-cooperative relationship.
“I understand,” Shen lang said.
After Shen lang obtained the Dragon, he entered a strategic balance with the great Yan Empire and was able to protect the safety of the entire great Qian Empire.
But to destroy the great Yan Empire?
Shen lang still had some concerns. Who was stronger, his Dragon or the Dragon in the great Yan Empire?
Between him and the Emperor of Great Yan, who had a deeper understanding of the Dragon?
Hence, the ancient Lost Empire’s dragon slaying weapon would indeed be a very effective supplement.
Moreover, Shen lang had obtained a large amount of uranium. Even if he could not make a nuclear bomb, he could make a dirty one.
However, the radiation pollution of these bombs was too high, so they must not be used recklessly.
Even if he were to create such a weapon, he had to ensure two things. First, it must not be used in human living areas, or even on the edge. Second, it was best not to use it on the ground.
Even if they were to use it, they had to make sure that the giant Dragons of the Empire of Great Yan were exposed to all the nuclear radiation. In short, they had to be careful, and it was best not to use weapons like dirty bombs.
The Lost Empire’s Dragonslayer weapon would be much more advanced than the dirty bomb.
“In that case, I’ll take my leave, Masters.” Shen lang said.
“Goodbye, Your Majesty.” The great sage in the pyramid said.
Shen lang rode on da Chao and flew in the direction of the great Qian Empire.
..........................................
Next, it was another tens of thousands of miles of flight.
However, this time, with his son, Shen Ye, accompanying him, he also had super self-control. Even though he was riding on an ultrasonic flying beast, he was still learning. Moreover, his learning method was very rare. He closed his eyes and thought about the ancient books he had read before, trying to comprehend them again and again.
Shen Ye was a super genius, and he had a photographic memory. He had flipped through all the ancient books that the snail ancestor had deciphered, and even if he did not understand them, he had memorized them in his mind. Moreover, he didn’t have an AI, so he had to rely on his talent.
“Son, let me ask you a question.” Shen lang said.
“Yes, father,”
Shen lang said, ” if we fight the great Yan Empire, our fate will be at stake. The winner will become the ruler of the East. However, the other party is even more powerful. If we want to win, we can only rely on one weapon. These weapons are extremely terrifying and will greatly pollute the land of the eastern world and cause great harm to the people. Would you use these weapons?”
Shen Ye thought for a while and said,”I won’t.”
“Why?” Shen lang asked.
Shen Ye replied, ” the purpose of our decisive battle with the great Yan Empire is to prove who is the true ruler and who is the true master of Destiny. If we were to win at such a price, we would have won the throne and lost our roots.
Shen lang was pleased to hear this answer, but he was half happy and half sad.
Shen Ye said,”but the more important thing is not to force yourself into such a situation.” The current situation of the great Qian Empire should be very optimistic. There is no need for us to enter this either-or situation.”
Shen lang did not say anything. Instead, he gave his son a thumbs up.
Once again, he regretted and felt sorry that he did not love Shen Ye when he was still a baby. He had missed out on many wonderful times.
“Xiao Ye, are you worried about your brother Loki?” Shen lang asked.
“A little,” Shen Ye replied.
“Then, what do you think we should do?” Shen lang asked.
perhaps he really should have grown up by Aunt Helen’s side, ” Shen Ye said. however, it seems that it’s very difficult for him to do so now because Aunt Helen has already become the Empress of the xilun Empire. Whoever grows up by his side will be regarded as the next emperor of the xilun Empire. So, I think that after we defeat the great Yan Empire, we need to bring Loki to the eastern world and train him.”
Shen lang said, ” your aunty dibs ‘intention is very clear. She wants Helen to find a princess to be her heir. In the future, this Princess will marry Loki, and the two of them will rule the xilun Empire together. Don’t you agree with this situation? ”
“I agree,” but you have to be very careful with this kind of operation, ” Shen Ye said. you must have great wisdom, or it will lead to a great disaster and blood will flow like a river. I don’t want Loki to get hurt, and I don’t want Aunt Helen to get hurt. The most important thing is that the XI Lun Empire belongs to the XI Lun family. Our Jiang family doesn’t have a strong desire to meddle in it, right?”
Shen lang realized that Shen Ye still had a childish way of thinking. He still had a strong sense of honor.
If it were some other Overlord of the eastern world, there would only be one sentence: ” all the lands under the heavens are the king’s territory, and all the lands on the shore are the king’s subjects. All the places I can and can not see should belong to me.
....................................
After a few days and nights!
After Shen lang and Shen Ye completed their journey, they landed in raging tide city.
It had been less than half a year since he had left raging tide city. This Dragon taming Journey to the West had gone much smoother than he had imagined. He had not even tamed the Dragon and had been bound directly. The second generation of a rich family was so evil that he directly inherited the Dragon’s contract.
“Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!”
“Your Highness, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!”
Shen lang was surprised to find that there were so many people kneeling in front of him.
The Minister of State, the Bureau of Military Affairs, and even King Wu were all present. There were a few hundred people.
There were a lot of people that Shen lang did not know. He had no choice. As the ruler of great Qian, he did not even attend court. Furthermore, the Wu, Chu, and Yue empires had sent a large number of officials to the minister’s desk, the Bureau of Military Affairs, and the six ministries of great Qian Empire.
The group of people’s gazes fell on Shen Ye.
Shen lang was the Master of Destiny and the embodiment of greatness and miracles. He was respected by everyone in the great Qian Empire.
Although he claimed that he wasn’t the sun, in the eyes of all the subjects and even the Kings of the Empire, he was the true dragon and Son of Heaven.
But everyone in the Xuanji Kingdom knew that this Emperor had no interest in the throne or power.
He didn’t attend court, didn’t care about politics, and even when someone called him “Your Majesty,” he felt his hair stand on end.
Everyone knew that once the Emperor destroyed the great Yan Empire, he would leave without a second thought. It was impossible for him to stay in the palace obediently and manage politics. No one could stop him from going out and having fun.
What country’s righteousness, what Foundation, they couldn’t kidnap him at all.
In fact, everyone knew what His Majesty was up to. After he left, he let mirror sit on the throne. He was definitely capable of letting his substitute play the role of the Emperor for a long time.
However, as a subject, he could not accept such a situation. Then what should he do? Of course, he could only place his hopes on the crown Prince. I hope that this Crown Prince Shen Ye will not be as unreliable as the Emperor.
It was absolutely impossible for a substitute to sit on the throne. In fact, the important ministers of the great Qian Empire already had other plans for this substitute.
In the future, when the great Yan Empire was destroyed and Emperor Shen lang left, the Crown Prince would be in charge of the Empire.
In fact, it was not unacceptable for Qianqian to make Emperor Shen lang the Grand Emperor and the Crown Prince the Crown Prince. As long as Emperor Shen lang had the face, he could be called the Grand Emperor when he was in his thirties.
At this moment, with Wu Wang, Jin Jun, and the other important ministers of great Qian as the leader, they immediately calmed down after seeing Shen Ye.
He was greatly gratified and even pleasantly surprised.
This Crown Prince was even more outstanding than he had imagined. At least he was very steady and not as jittery as the Emperor.
Moreover, his eyes were firm, wise, and even sharp. He did not look like a ten-year-old at all.
Then, the sound of a wheelchair could be heard.
Ning yuanxian was here as well. Shen Li pushed his wheelchair and greeted Shen lang and Shen Li.
“Father.”
“Big brother!”
Shen Li was a few months younger than Shen Ye, but he was half a head shorter. He was also very steady, but he was not as sharp as Shen Ye.
“I, ning yuanxian, pay my respects to Your Majesty and his Highness the Crown Prince, Qianqian.”
With Shen Li’s help, ning yuanxian trembled and bowed deeply, because this was a grand public occasion.
Then, Shen lang quickly carried him and placed him on the wheelchair.
Then, Shen Ye knelt down and kowtowed to ning yuanxian. “Shen Ye greets Grandpa ning.”
....................................
In the Paradise Manor!
A few children were quietly reading a book. Su Peipei was holding Shen Ye, crying and laughing at the same time because her daughter Mulan had not returned yet. But at least his precious grandson, Shen Ye, was back. There was finally someone he could feel sorry for.
“You’re really lucky, lang ‘er,” ning yuanxian said. This Crown Prince of yours is more outstanding than you in some aspects. Great Qian Empire now has a successor. After we destroy the great Yan Empire, you can rest in peace.”
Shen lang said, ” that’s right. It’s a great gift from the heavens. Are you still unable to persuade brother Ning Zheng?”
“I can’t.” Ning yuanxian said, ” he’s too stubborn. Forget it, there’s no need to persuade him. Just let little li go to tianyue city. It doesn’t matter whether he changes his surname or not. After all, half of his body is of the ning family’s bloodline. It’s completely reasonable for him to inherit the Yue country.
The ning family did not matter, but Shen lang did not care. He did not want to give others the feeling that the Jiang family was usurping the ning family’s power. Although Shen Li was Ning Yan’s son, he was still Shen Lang’s son.
However, there were some things that he couldn’t say or care about, such as dybosse’s ambitions, which he couldn’t stop.
“Lang ‘er, is that thing here?” ning yuanxian asked.
Shen lang said,”yes, the whole process was very smooth.” However, it was too arrogant and didn’t want to interact with anyone. It’s either above the nine Heavens or below the nine oceans. When I need it, it’ll suddenly appear, but most of the time, it’s free.”
Not only that, during the tens of thousands of miles from the Western world back to the great Qian Empire, the giant dragon was nowhere to be seen most of the time. This was because its flying speed was too fast. It could easily fly at three times the speed of sound. Therefore, it found five volcanoes along the way and took a few lava baths. It instantly tore the five volcanoes apart, causing three earthquakes and three tsunamis.
It felt that it would never go to these volcanoes again. It could not leave them to others, so it simply destroyed them.
Fortunately, it had a tacit understanding with Shen lang. Without Shen lang, it would not enter the sky above the territory of the eastern world. Otherwise, the tremors caused by its rapid flight would be destructive and the Hurricanes it created would overturn many houses.
....................................
People were biased, even though they knew that it was wrong. Even though Shen lang had tried his best to share his time with each child equally, he would carry more of the younger children and accompany them.
However, deep down in his heart, he still loved his little baby the most.
Yaoyan was the eldest sister. She was already eleven years old this year, but she looked about three years younger than her real age.
Little princess Shen Yue’s teeth growth was almost over. She was a super little beauty and was working hard to be the most perfect princess every day. On the other hand, baby one one was still that little girl with makeup and Jade-like makeup, like a fairy from heaven.
Shen lang carried her and was choosing a gift for his youngest daughter, the little princess of Amazon. That little girl had left a deep impression on Shen lang. Even though he had only known her for three days, she was so stubborn, strong, innocent, cute, and hardworking. Her serious look was unforgettable.
Over 900 supersonic flying beasts had been tamed. They were the strongest combat air Force, but they were also the species closest to humans.
When Shen lang and 11 went to choose, hundreds of ultrasonic flying beasts were lined up in the open space. They tilted their heads to the side and let out cute cries.
“Baby, should we pick one for little brother Loki?” Shen lang said. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚
Yao Yao nodded sweetly.
“Come, baby, you’re the big sister, you can go and pick.” Shen lang put down 11.
11 walked over.
“CAW CAW CAW”
“CAW CAW CAW”
One by one, the supersonic flying beasts cried out, trying to attract her attention. They even used their heads to rub against little one.
Soon, 11 was done. She chose the two youngest ones. Because the younger one was, the more they could grow up with their master.
Next, a total of more than a dozen ultrasonic flying beasts would be taken to the xilun Empire by the merchant ship.
Not only would it be given to Loki and the little Amazon Princess, but it would also be given to Queen Aida, Duke dybosse, Queen Helen, Duke Russell, and so on. It could be considered a batch of precious gifts from the great Qian Empire to the xilun Empire.
However, the young warriors who trained the beasts would probably cry.
Because in the past few months, they had accompanied and tamed each one of them, and they had already established a deep relationship. Every day, they had to count by name, and now that there were more than a dozen of them missing, it was really heartbreaking.
These supersonic flying beasts were really smart and well-behaved, especially after the nightmare stone receiver in their brains was modified. The entire raging tide city was constantly releasing energy waves that made them happy.
..................
29th of July!
Shen lang came to the surface of the sea and shouted, ” “Lost demon mother, please come out.”
A moment later, the sea water surged and condensed into a beautiful figure, but her face was completely unclear.
Emperor Shen lang, you only came to find me today? ” The lost demon mother said, ” I haven’t congratulated you yet. You’ve already obtained the loyalty of the giant dragon. I can feel its power. Even though it’s very far away, there was once when it flew over the skies of this Sea region. It really made me shiver.
“Lost mother Demon, I have a question to ask you,” Shen lang said.
“Your question makes me a little uneasy, but please speak,” said the lost demonic mother.
The Lost Empire must have used uranium to create a dragon-slaying weapon, ” Shen lang said. may I ask where these weapons are? ”
..............................
It was still the 29th of July!
During this period of time, the world was very peaceful, and nothing happened.
The Empire of Great Yan did not launch any more attacks, not even a sneak attack. The raging tide city was safe, and so were the four countries.
The entire world was unusually quiet, making people feel a little flustered.
In the battle of raging tide city, Shen lang had humiliated the great Yan Empire.
After that, he launched two Super Dragon’s regrets in the territories of Jin and Liang, shocking the Army of the great Yan Empire.
In the end, the Empire of Great Yan compromised. The million-strong Army that was originally planning to attack great Qian Empire was immediately dismissed and retreated.
Furthermore, they had even returned the cloudy dreamy swampland that had been captured. They had even directly admitted that the 1.5 million square kilometers of Qian country belonged to the great Qian Empire.
This left everyone dumbfounded. The Empire of Great Yan was actually so cowardly?
Of course, the great Qian Empire was in a state of jubilation. For the first time, the people of the Qian country felt the miracle created by Emperor Shen lang and the power of his protection.
As for the great Yan Empire’s subsidiary countries, they were filled with worry and uneasiness. Of course, he did not lose hope in the Empire of Great Yan, nor did he want to change his stance. Because this was indeed like the darkness before dawn, the silence before the earth-shattering.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the Yan capital.
Supreme Emperor, shouldn’t you come out of seclusion at this time?
Isn’t it time for you to come out of nowhere and clean up the universe?
It was on the 29th of July!
His Majesty the Emperor had officially come out of seclusion!
