He Became a Salted Fish After Inheriting Millions of Secret Arts - Chapter 75
He smiled triumphantly: “That’s my third choice, right?”
For a while, on the crossroads, no one spoke.
Duan Feizhuo looked at Hecate, and Hecate also looked at him.
The stars flowed above their heads, like an ancient and unchanging melody.
The corners of Hecate’s lips curled up like the edge of a scimitar.
“Yes.” said the Goddess of the Crossroads.
“Then why didn’t you tell me from the beginning?”
“I don’t know what will happen that way,” she said. “If you take that path, it will create a whole new branch in multiple histories. No one knows whether it is good or bad. No one knows what lies ahead. what is your…”
She paused, her smile gradually turned cold, “What’s more, I also hope to get your strength, so that I can continue to climb upwards. If you choose the third path, I may get nothing.”
“Actually, I can choose nothing and just turn around.” Duan Feizhuo crossed his arms, tapping his elbow impatiently with his fingers, “Then wait for the Lord of Light to resurrect and destroy this world—this way you There is nothing more to gain.”
“You threaten me?” Hecate tilted her head in surprise.
“Shouldn’t this be called ‘Chen Ming Lili’?”
The Goddess of the Crossroads squinted at him, and she felt as if for the first time she recognized the young man for what he really was.
“It’s funny,” she said. “I’ve met a lot of mortals, and you’re the first one to talk to me like that.”
“I take this as a compliment.” Duan Feizhuo said, “So there are indeed other ways to deal with the Lord of Light, right? What should I do? Just one Leviathan is not something humans can defeat , not to mention a resurgent forerunner.”
Hecate waved his hand, and fixed the picture floating in the starry sky on the strange sun in the sky.
“The power of you mortals is incomparably small. To compete with the pioneers is like shaking a tree.” The goddess’ tone was indifferent, but there was no contempt, as if she was just stating a well-known fact, “Only you, There is absolutely no way to defeat the Lord of Light. But when mortals unite, even the gods tremble.”
Duan Feizhuo was slightly moved: “You mean, everyone must unite?”
“That’s the only way out for you mortals.”
“However, the Lord of Light is so powerful, even if everyone joins forces, he may not be his opponent, right?”
“The power of the robe will not disappear, but it can be sealed.” Hecate said, “You can seal it in a place where it will not be disturbed and no one can reach it.”
“Where?” Duan Feizhuo asked eagerly.
“You know it clearly, why ask me?” The goddess was unpredictable.
Duan Feizhuo bit his lips tightly. He did think of a suitable place, but… how to seal the Lord of Light there? You know, the Lord of Light is now hanging in the sky like the sun!
Hecate read his heart again. “The will of the Lord of Light is scattered everywhere. They will attract each other and eventually become one. But this process can also be used. If you have an ether crystal, you can use it to attract the sun in the sky.”
“But I don’t have ether crystals in my hand.” Duan Feizhuo said, “Are you going to dig a piece in the mine?” Hecate raised the corners of his lips: “You don’t have any?”
Of course I didn’t. …Duan Feizhuo just wanted to say this, when he suddenly thought that he himself did not have one, but one of his companions had a piece of ether crystal embedded in his body from beginning to end.
Could it be that Hecate meant… to use that crystal?
No no. Rather, this is the best way.
“If you’ve made up your mind, then go ahead.” Hecate stepped aside, making way for Duan Feizhuo to go straight ahead, “But I must remind you that even I, the goddess of the crossroads, must The guardian of the forked road does not know whether that road will work. If you insist on choosing it, then everything will depend on you.”
Duan Feizhuo passed by the goddess of the underworld, and she exuded a cold aura that symbolized death.
He suddenly had a wonderful premonition: this was also the last time he met the goddess of the crossroads.
Hecate also stared at his back intently.
mortal. so small. so fragile. Weak-willed and vulnerable.
But sometimes, even the forerunners feel ashamed of the brilliance they emit.
Goddesses never expect much from mortals. They have so many flaws that they themselves question whether human nature is inherently evil.
But the goddess never despairs of mortals. There is such a deep darkness in the world, so there is such a brilliant light.
***
Duan Feizhuo was woken up by the warm rain.
He struggled to open his eyes, and half of the scene that caught his eyes was the sky covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and the other half was the most beautiful face he had ever seen in his life.
He was lying on the muddy wet grass, and Z knelt beside him, wrapping his arms tightly around his body. The white-haired vigilante was drenched all over, as if he had just been fished out of the water. He himself was no better.
Seeing him wake up, Z’s crimson eyes burst out with joy and sorrow.
“You’re still alive…” he whispered in disbelief.
Duan Feizhuo sat up and patted his head. His clothes were stained with blood, but there were no wounds on his body, indicating that his self-healing ability had once again made a contribution.
The rain is still going on, and it is even getting bigger and bigger. Even though it was summer, Duan Feizhuo was shivering from the cold.
But why did he feel that the rain was warm when he just woke up?
He turned to Z, whose eye sockets were slightly red, set off by pale skin that lacked blood color, it was particularly eye-catching, and he couldn’t ignore it.
Did Z hold him and cry just now…?
Z hastily turned his head to hide his gaffe.
“Xenophon said you’re dead.” He curled his lips pretendingly indifferently, “That guy’s eyes are really bad.”
Duan Feizhuo wanted to laugh a little, because Z, who has always been cold and rigid, would have such a day. Why wasn’t he so “emotional” when he was put in the dungeon? But at the same time, a scorching hot emotion welled up in his heart, as if the warm drops of water flowed all the way into the bottom of his heart.
He really wanted to kiss the corner of Z’s blade-like lips, and kiss away that awkward curve, but now is really not a good time for intimacy.
He looked up and saw Leviathan hovering in the air, casting black shadows on the ground.
“Let’s leave here first.” Duan Feizhuo got up, “Where are the others?”
“I have retreated into the oak forest.” Z replied gloomyly, “I hope the undead can help resist for a while.”
“Let’s go too. I thought of a way, and we must rely on everyone’s strength.
The two rushed towards the oak forest. A pitch-black shadow quickly approached Duan Feizhuo. He thought it was Leviathan, and almost threw a shock wave in fright, but when he took a closer look, it turned out to be Xenophon who had turned into a crow.
The crow rode the wind with them.
“How did you survive?” the bird asked in shock.
“I’m not dead!” Duan Feizhuo said angrily.
“Wow, you didn’t die with your head opened like that, your head must be very strong…” Xenophon spoke with admiration.
They got into the oak forest. As soon as they entered the forest, the rain became much lighter in an instant, and the luxuriant branches and leaves woven into a natural rain shelter above their heads.
Several heads protruded from behind the trunk of the thick oak tree—the night policemen hiding here.
“Great, boss, you’re all right!” Mr. R exclaimed in surprise.
“What’s next?” asked Miss Acheson. “Are you really going back to London?”
Z thought for a moment, and was about to speak, but Duan Feizhuo preempted him first: “I have a solution, but I have to ask Mr. N first.”
The restaurant owner and night watchman pointed at himself: “Me?”
Duan Feizhuo waved at him. Mr. N looked hesitantly at his companion, and reluctantly walked towards him.
Duan Feizhuo pulled Mr. N aside, confirmed that no one else could hear their conversation (except maybe Z, whose hearing has not been weakened by his recovery), and asked quietly: “You have superb secret skills and extensive knowledge, I want to ask you a question; what kind of space is the space where the secret trading house is located?”
Mr. N was startled, raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at Duan Feizhuo with questioning eyes, and waited for his further explanation. But Duan Feizhuo also looked at him with the same expression, waiting for him to answer his question.
In this silent confrontation, it was Mr. N who finally couldn’t bear it.
“It’s a different space created by the owner of the trading house—I guess.” He said helplessly, “It is possible for a powerful mystic to do this. There are many such different spaces in the universe, floating between worlds. outside.”
Duan Feizhuo has a deep understanding that the mysterious starry sky where the crossroad in the Heka play is located should be the same different space.
Joseph Chester was able to create such a place, and connect it with the real world using a magic circle. His occult skills are truly terrifying. If he puts his mind on the study of mysterious philosophy instead of other miscellaneous things, will he be able to reach the realm of the forerunner sooner or later?
“If I bring a person into the trading house, and then destroy all the passages leading to the trading house, including the doll’s house, will that person never be able to leave?” Duan Feizhuo asked.
Mr. N pondered for a while, then nodded heavily.
“But you—the owner of the trading house—can still enter the trading house through your magic circle silver key at any time. Unless when you leave, the person trapped in the trading house **** the magic circle on the golden clock. However, if you The purpose is to trap him forever, so you probably don’t want to go back, do you?”
Duan Feizhuo smiled: “You are right.”
Nervousness and anxiety crept up Mr. N’s cheeks. “Why do you ask such a thing, don’t you…”
“Well, to be honest,” Duan Feizhuo patted Mr. N on the shoulder, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years, “I plan to seal the Lord of Light in the secret trading house.”

“Your Majesty, we will be safe here for the time being.”
Mrs. Edith gasped heavily, supporting the oak tree trunk with one hand and pressing her chest with the other.
She is also considered old, and it is really too much for her to run such a long distance in a short period of time.
The queen doesn’t look much better than she does. She was older than Mrs. Edith, and in the end she couldn’t run anymore. It was her loyal royal guards who carried her into the oak forest. Mrs. Edith was a little afraid that the heavy rain and farce would shorten Her Majesty’s life.
The queen looked around: “This is…?”
“It’s our family’s private woodland, Your Majesty.” Madam Edith said, “There’s… I’m not afraid of your jokes, it’s guarded by the undead.”
“Before yesterday, if you said that, I would definitely think you were crazy.” The Queen said gloomily, “But after today, no matter what the Arabian Nights is, I am willing to believe it.”
The royal guards gathered around the queen anxiously when they heard the word “undead”. Lady Edith felt that they were gathered together out of fear rather than their duty to guard the queen.
“We can’t hide here forever.” Lord Perilla said sadly, “There is a monster outside, mother, how can we survive from the claws of the monster?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the long roar of the monster came from above. Everyone covered their ears in unison, with pained expressions on their faces. The roar almost pierced people’s eardrums.
I don’t know how long it took before the roar stopped. But the roar in everyone’s ears did not disappear, but turned into a long-lasting tinnitus.
Then, the ground shook violently. Leviathan landed on the edge of the woods, its spiked tail swept across, and the oak tree, which was so thick that two people could hug it together, was cut off by Qi Qi!
Even Mrs. Edith, who has always been calm, couldn’t help screaming. Her son hurriedly stopped her behind. Although he was trembling himself, he still tried his best to cover his mother with his body.
“We’re done, mother!” Lord Perilla burst into tears, “Woo Mingming, I knew we shouldn’t have contracted out the mine… No, we shouldn’t have developed any mine from the beginning…”
The queen was supporting the oak tree with one hand, while holding her own skirt with the other hand, breathing heavily.
“It’s not over, my lord,” she whispered, “it’s far from over!” The Leviathan’s tail swept again, and another row of oak trees fell.
The forest that was thought to be a barrier is actually so vulnerable to the power of the giant beast…
Leviathan opened his mouth, revealing sharp teeth. Just when it was about to attack again, a flame fell from the sky and hit its back impartially.
The giant beast screamed. The heat and pain brought back memories of being in the Arctic. At that time, it had just recovered when it was attacked for no reason.
It raised its long neck, and its blood-red eyes looked towards the sky.
In the densely clouded sky, a golden shadow suddenly appeared between the gaps in the clouds intertwined with thunder and light.
A streamlined steam airship slowly descended from the clouds, with a row of brass-colored muzzles on the side, facing the giant beast on the ground.
The muzzles of the guns lit up one by one, and the grenades came through the air like meteorites, unstoppable.
The sound of shelling is deafening!
The top of the brass muzzle side was painted with brand new paint, the name of the airship – HMS Wellington.
The Wellington’s guns fired another salvo. The powerful grenade hit Leviathan’s body. The giant beast’s scales were shattered under the scorching heat, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and burnt flesh.
Lord Perilla stared blankly at the airship that descended from the sky.
“W-why is it here…?”
With the support of the royal guards, his queen took a few steps forward to a position where she could have a panoramic view of the battlefield.
“Ah.” The queen raised her eyebrows, and her old face was filled with joy, “It seems that he has caught up.”
Airship bridge.
Colonel Freeman sat upright on the command seat, staring at the ground below, his gaze focused on the pitch-black giant. —You saved the lives of our entire crew, what a pity, you and I are now enemies. thought the Colonel.
“Salvo!” he ordered loudly.
The sound of the rumbling gun made the man beside him shrink back. The man was small in stature and shabby-looking, always reminiscent of some kind of rodent.
But it was such an inconspicuous man who found Colonel Freeman with Her Majesty’s secret edict a week ago.
The Colonel was having dinner with his family when the man popped out of the garden plot, scaring the foxes (yes, those were Simon’s animal friends, whom the Colonel kept as pets). The colonel’s daughter thought the man was a goblin, and laughed for a while. The colonel himself almost shot the man’s head off.
The man called himself Paimo, an occultist, and an envoy of Her Majesty the Queen. He showed the colonel His Majesty’s letter, which ordered Wellington to fly to Perilla Manor in Shropshire the next day to stand by.
Colonel Wellington didn’t know it. He read the news every day and knew that His Majesty would come to the Perilla Mine the next day to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. He didn’t understand why a ceremony required the army to be on standby. But he is a soldier, and the duty of a soldier is to obey orders.
The next day he commanded the Wellington to the position stated in Her Majesty’s Bulletin. They ended up meeting their “old friend” Leviathan.
In the oak forest.
The queen looked at the golden airship in the sky, and raised the corners of her lips.
“Yes, I ordered the Wellington to come to support.” She said to Lord Perilla, with a somewhat proud expression, “From the beginning, I have never fully believed in the Committee for the Advancement of Science.”
For a long time, the Science Progress Committee has promoted the ether crystal technology, which has made the UK’s national power advance by leaps and bounds, and it is proud of the world. But in their glistening eulogy, the queen also keenly found some dissonant notes.
Like “spy”. It was Secretary Carter who first revealed to her that “the Wellington may have been mixed with foreign spies”. He suggested sending secret agents to sneak into the Wellington to search for spies, and he also mentioned the night watchman intentionally or unintentionally.
So the queen pushed the boat along and summoned Zeno Xenia, the leader of the night watchman, and ordered him to pretend to be a scholar to board the Wellington to find spies.
In the end, he really found out the spy, and the spy pretended to be the captain, and almost stole the entire airship to Vienna.
Carter was heartbroken, saying that foreign technologies are also constantly improving, and if we fail to introduce new ones in time, sooner or later we will be surpassed by other countries. The plan of the undead soldier, you have another look?
He might have thought that the queen, who was so frightened by the spies, would immediately agree to the undead soldier plan.
The queen just felt that everything was too coincidental. It was almost as if someone had secretly planned everything in order to get her to agree to the plan.
The Council for the Advancement of Science was both her friend and her enemy. They still have value to use. She will not tear herself apart easily, but she will never give her trust to them.
She has been queen for so many years, maybe she didn’t learn anything else, but there is one thing she is very good at, and that is “imperial learning”.
Seems like even the pennies are on this side of the earth. When she got married on the day of the ceremony, she sent grass into her Frogmore, almost like a messenger sent by the gods for the earth. Same. She ordered the occultist to go to Colonel Freddie. The good soldier is mired in self-blame and even self-imposed at home for the failure of the Arctic project. The queen just gave him a chance to make up for his mistakes.
Wellington.
Colonel Freeman frowned, staring at the Leviathan who was entangled with them in the air.
The artillery fire tore the giant beast’s scales, and its blood rained down on the ground. The people on the ground probably thought it was raining blood.
However, with such a serious injury, the giant beast continued to attack unabated. It seemed to know no pain, no fear of death, and vowed to drag the entire airship to be buried with it!
The Leviathan rammed headlong into the airship. The bridge vibrated with a bang, and there were screams one after another. Colonel Freeman stabilized his body, while Paimo lying next to him limply lay on the ground, trembling with his head in his hands.
“Don’t panic!” The colonel said loudly, “The monster is at the end of its power, let’s kill it in one go!”
“Yes!” All the crew members answered in unison.
But the vibration of the airship did not stop. Colonel Freeman frowned more and more. “What’s going on? Something went wrong?”
The liaison officer on the bridge was sweating profusely, and kept grabbing the microphone to give orders, and then put the microphone to his ear to listen for the reply.
“Report, report to the captain! The steam-powered engine of the large crystal has failed!”
Colonel Freeman tapped his fingers on the armrest. “Could it be that the blow from the monster just now damaged the engine?”
“Uh, Captain, the Chief Engineer reports. . . . there’s a problem with the fuel!” The liaison looks like he’s on the verge of tears.
“We obviously replenished enough ether crystals before we took off!”
“Yes, but the chief engineer said… those ether crystals were rapidly dissolving for unknown reasons, but they didn’t release heat into the engine!”
“What?!” Colonel Freeman didn’t understand what he meant. What does not release heat? Will the heat disappear out of thin air? That is against the principles of physics!
Or… the heat is being sucked away by something else?
“Captain! Engine power is low! We must make an emergency landing!”
Colonel Freeman suddenly stood up. In air combat, the airship is the lifeboat of the soldiers, and the mechanical failure of the engine must be solved before fighting.
“Land down on that lake!” the colonel ordered, “and meanwhile the gunners don’t idle, keep firing!”
Pai Cao who was beside him raised his head anxiously, “Are we going to land?”
“Yes, sir, the engine has failed.” Colonel Freeman replied coldly.
“Ah, that’s great! Can you let me go down? I’m afraid of heights! I want to go back to the ground! If I can, I want to go underground!” Pimo screamed like a mouse.
***
In the oak forest.
“What’s going on? How did that airship land?” Miss Acheson asked in confusion as she looked at the rapidly descending golden shadow.
Duan Feizhuo naturally had a panoramic view of the situation. It was a surprise to him that the Wellington appeared here. That is the flagship of the Air Force, and the only one who has the right to mobilize it is probably…
Oh, that Her Majesty the Queen is indeed the king who rules the capital of the world, if she is treated as an old woman, she will suffer a lot.
However, seeing that the Wellington was about to shoot down the Leviathan, it landed inexplicably by itself. No one will let go of the good opportunity in front of them. Duan Feizhuo could only understand that there was some kind of problem with the Wellington itself.
——Needless to say, it must be ether crystallization.
“All airships are driven by ether crystals.” Duan Feizhuo said in a low voice, “Now the Lord of Light is recovering, and ether crystals are the matter condensed by Chi’s power. I am afraid that the crystals on the airships have already died. It’s all absorbed by that weird sun in the sky.”
Everyone took a deep breath.
Human flesh and blood cannot compete with Leviathan, but human iron creations can. Without the Wellington, they would never have defeated Vitan. But without ether crystals, the Wellington is like a ship moored on the lake. How can it fight against the super-mobile Leviathan?
Duan Feizhuo was so anxious that he couldn’t help biting his nails.
The appearance of the Wellington brought him a glimmer of hope. He realizes he’s not alone. There are many people around him, if everyone is willing to fight for the same goal… Just like what Hecate said, when mortals unite, even the gods will tremble!
A plan that could be called the Arabian Nights appeared in Duan Feizhuo’s mind.
“The airship can fly, in the final analysis, because the ether crystal provides sufficient power. If there are other power sources, wouldn’t it be able to fly as well?” He looked around the crowd with excited eyes, hoping to get their approval.
“But what kind of energy can be used?” Z asked, “Coal? There is no place to find so much coal now.”
“Of course coal is not good, the heat is too low.” Duan Feizhuo muttered.
As for nuclear energy, it has not been invented yet. But that doesn’t mean a suitable energy source can’t be found. In fact, Duan Feizhuo has several such sources of energy around him.
“…Mystic.” He was also secretly cheerful.
Xenophon was shocked: “You want to throw a living person into the furnace as charcoal?!”
Duan Feizhuo gave him a sideways glance. As expected of Xenophon, his brain circuit is still so strange at this time.
“Mystics can draw energy from nature, store it for later use, or transform it into the form they need. If all the mystics supply energy to the Wellington at the same time, can the space Flying ship?”
All the mystics present thought about this question at the same time.
As long as enough energy is provided, let alone an airship, even the earth can make it fly out.
But besides Duan Feizhuo, the mystics present were Mr. N, Ms. Q, Xenophon, Yeats and Evangeline. Will they be able to provide enough energy for the airship?
No matter how much you think about it, it’s not enough. More mystics must be recruited.
Duan Feizhuo turned around and looked deep into the woods.
“Isn’t there just a group of mystics there?” He licked his lips longingly, “If they are willing to help, it might work.”
Xenophon rolled his eyes to the sky: “Those people will never obey your orders. If you let them go free, they might take your head off first.”
He has no sympathy for those guys who pretend to be thieves as their fathers and are still obsessed with it.
How to show righteousness to them? Duan Feizhuo’s brain started working quickly.
“My lady!” he cried.
A woman dressed in fine clothes and with a faint light all over her body came out from the oak tree and looked at him with indifferent eyes.
When the night guards saw this woman, they shrank back unanimously, only Z and Xenophon remained unmoved. The two of them knew that these undead were not malicious, but would do their best to protect the land and the people on it. “Can you do me a favor? Is Her Majesty around here?”
“She is here.” The woman said coldly.
“Can you call her…I mean ‘please’ come here?” Duan Feizhuo said as he walked into the depths of the woods, “Those mystics may not want to listen to me, but What about Her Majesty’s order?” The woman disappeared. Duan Feizhuo came to the open space deep in the woods. The mystics in black are still bound to the oak tree by the power of the undead.
Seeing Duan Feizhuo, the mystic who was closest to him spat.
“You won’t be able to be proud for long!” He said viciously, “When the committee wakes up the undead army, it will be your doom!”
Duan Feizhuo recognized him as a member of Scotland Yard detectives. In fact, he is the current Superintendent of the Abnormal Case Investigation Division.
“It’s a pity that the undead army is killing your dear committee.” Duan Feizhuo sneered.
The superintendent’s eyes widened, and he calmed down immediately. “You think you can fool me?”
“Why did I lie to you? You’ll know if you go and see for yourself. But I suggest you better not walk around, otherwise you won’t even know how you died.” Duan Feizhuo shook his head, these guys still don’t understand the situation .
After a while another group of people approached the clearing. Duan Feizhuo recognized Lord Perilla’s mother and son among them. Behind them are several guards in red clothes, and surrounded by them like stars around the moon is a group of guards.
“Your Majesty…!” The lips of the superintendent who was tied to the tree trembled. What a privilege it is to meet the Queen, even if the timing is not right now.
The queen looked at the mystics, and then at Duan Feizhuo. Although there was no expression on her old face, her eyes glowed with joy.
“I’m glad to see you safe and sound, Sir Leopold,” she said.
“I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound, Your Majesty.” This is absolutely true. If something happens to the queen, Duan Feizhuo does not know how to persuade those mystics to surrender.
“Why are these young people tied to a tree?” The queen raised her chin to signal the mystics. Duan Feizhuo felt that she was asking questions knowingly.
“They are mystics under the committee, Your Majesty.” Duan Feizhuo said.
The mystics writhed restlessly. Although many of them have joined Scotland Yard under the arrangement of the committee, they know that the committee’s behavior of raising mystics is actually illegal. The queen looked at the mystics calmly. Their expressions darkened even more.
“I didn’t even know that the committee had trained so many mystics without telling me.” The queen lowered her voice, “It’s ridiculous, the night guards under my command have been ordered to capture mystics for many years, and it turned out that the people they sent to the dungeon were not as good as hiding There are many around me.
The superintendent tensed up. “Your Majesty, the committee’s use of extraordinary means is only to serve you and the country…
“Heh, the whole family was killed by the committee and you still talk like that. I’m really curious what kind of ecstasy soup they poured into you.” Xenophon walked over while wringing the water off his clothes, his yellow eyes shining brightly in the darkness, as if amber. The superintendent glared at Xenophon fiercely: “You are not allowed to insult the committee!”
“Oh? What’s the matter?” The queen raised her eyebrows. “Where is Carter? Lian would like to hear his explanation.”
“Carter is dead.” Xenophon said carelessly, not concealing the fact that he was a “murderer”. “I must say, I was acting in self-defense. My family was also killed, Your Majesty. But I have nothing to do with these The only difference between people is,” he glanced at the mystics tied to the tree, “it was the Night Watchman who saved me. Otherwise, I might be on their side now.”
The Queen raised a hand for silence, and Xenophon saluted her with a ostentatious salute.
“As for what the committee did, I will send someone to investigate thoroughly later.” The Queen’s voice was a little hoarse, “But now is not the time to talk about these past events, is it?”
She looked at Duan Feizhuo questioningly.
“Your Majesty, you also saw the Wellington landed.” He said, “The ether crystal of the airship may have failed. Unless there is a new source of power, it will not be able to fly again. But now we can defeat that Only the Wellington is a monster.”
“A new power source?”
“Mystics can convert other energies in nature into the energy needed by airships. Converting energy is a compulsory course for mystics to learn the mystical philosophy. But to make such a huge battleship fly, the energy required can be huge. It’s not a single star. It requires the cooperation of a large number of mystics.”
Duan Feizhuo stared at the faces of the mystics.
The superintendent understood what he meant, but couldn’t help laughing. “Use human power to fly an airship? What are you kidding!”
“Do you have a better way?” Duan Feizhuo asked bluntly.
The Superintendent was speechless.
The queen said calmly: “I understand.” It may not be impossible for everyone to unite. But if you don’t do this, everyone will only have a dead end.
The superintendent knows how to judge the situation and understand that differences should be temporarily put aside for now and work together.
He thought again, if these night guards were really as weak and incompetent as His Excellency Carter said, why did Her Majesty even support them? He didn’t want to obey the Night Watchmen’s orders, but they were also Her Majesty’s orders. How could he violate the orders of the king of a country?
He had never doubted the Commission or Lord Carter, but what the young man said about the murder of his family gnawed at his heart like ants. Maybe it’s not that he doesn’t want to know the truth, he’s just afraid that everything he’s believed so far will crumble.
“I see.” The superintendent said reluctantly, “We will supply energy to the airship according to what you said. But whether it will be successful or not is not up to me.
“The implication is that even if it fails, it has nothing to do with him.
Xenophon patted Duan Feizhuo on the shoulder. “Let’s go too.” His yellow eyes sparkled, “We are also mystics, and we can monitor them at the same time.”
The superintendent’s body fell to the ground. White let go of him. He stared in amazement at the pale, undead woman emerging from the tree. The woman was obviously about his age, but she looked at him like she was looking at a lost child.
Other mystics also set free. They rubbed their sore limbs and stared at the night guards with wary eyes.
The superintendent gritted his teeth, turned his head and said to his subordinates: “Let’s go, go to the airship.”
Xenophon followed them, but kept a certain distance from them. Soon, Ms. Q, Mr. N and Yeats joined the team. Evangeline wanted to follow, but Duan Feizhuo stopped her.
“Director, I still need your help.”
“I can’t help you anymore.” Evangeline said sadly, “I can’t stop the Lord of Light, his power is already too strong. When the robe recovers, the first ones to be punished are us traitors.” Descendant…”
“I need your power to suppress Li.” Duan Feizhuo said, “In this way, I can use another piece of ether crystal to guide God into the secret trading house, and then destroy all the entrances and exits. I will seal him there forever.”
“I’m not sure how long I can suppress him, I can only try.” Evangeline looked at him, “But where did you get the ether crystals? Did you dig in the mines?”
The queen interrupted them: “There are no ether crystals in the mine, and when the sun appears in the sky, they will all dissolve.”
“I know where there is another piece.” Duan Feizhuo walked towards the rest of the night guards.
Miss Acheson sat wearily under a tree with Gatlin in her arms. Mr. R held a knife and stood beside her vigilantly. Z was leaning against a tree with his arms folded, his wet silver hair twisted into locks and falling down his shoulders like white waterfalls.
Seeing him approaching, Z raised her red eyes.
Duan Feizhuo looked at him. amazing
