Chapter 273 I Really Want to Fish

562

The carriage drove out of the West District, headed south at the fork in the road, and soon arrived at a military base.

With Colonel Calvin's handwriting and the lieutenant leading him, Klein entered smoothly and came to a square paved with rammed earth, where a huge dark blue and pure white monster was parked.

This airship is dozens of meters long. Strong and light alloy frames protrude from the car body. They spread and intersect to support the airtight and waterproof cloth equipped with airbags. Below are the machine gun muzzle, bomb release port and Cannon muzzle. At this time, the hum of the high-phlogiston steam engine had not yet sounded, and the corresponding blades had not rotated. Everything seemed very quiet.

Klein handed the documents and identification to the officer guarding the gangway. After receiving permission, he carried his suitcase and boarded the airship step by step.

This place is like a ship's cabin, divided into three floors. The top has complex mechanical devices and warehouses for storing goods. In the middle is a hall where buffets and dances can be held. Surrounding the hall and on both sides of the passages leading to the upper and lower floors respectively are There are lounges one after another. As for the bottom floor, there are machine gun rooms, ammunition rooms, artillery positions, and soldiers' rooms.

Passing by the guards holding rifles, Klein found the corresponding lounge according to the officer's instructions and placed his luggage next to a sofa-like seat.

At the same time, he recalled the Aurora Society's reply in his mind:

"...The 'Trickster Monster' you want, there happens to be one in stock in the Aurora Society's warehouse. If you have no objections, I will transport it to Backlund's factory base, and you can use it when you return. .”

Cool. Klein thought.

One of the main materials, "Trickster Evil", is here, and the only thing that Klein needs to collect himself is the "Spiritual World Predator".

According to the existing information, this is a creature that lives deep in the spiritual world and needs to be planned slowly.

Another reply came from Ms. D:

"...I accept your commission, Mr.

"Our cooperation period is one week. After you have sent all the items, I will leave after you return to the safe area."

Klein and Ms. D have negotiated terms. If there are clues, the transaction is successful. If you bring the physical object, you will be greatly thanked.

He also notified the "Hermit" of the approximate locations of the "Sun Bird" and the "Holy Brilliance Stone" in the ruins of the God War. In this way, the deal between the three of them was basically finalized.

Klein only needs to arrive at the Southern Continent step by step, work as a courier step by step, and then return.

This made him feel very relaxed. With the help of the Aurora Society and the news from the Dark Saint to "War Red", the risk of going to the Southern Continent has been reduced to the minimum, and it has almost become a trip. He picked up a glass of water on the table, walked to the window, and looked out at the scenery.

Frankly speaking, although he knows a little bit about everything, he only knows a little bit, so he doesn't understand the design principle of this latest airship. He doesn't know how high it can fly and how bumpy it is in mid-air.

This made him a little uneasy. Before setting off, he went to do a divination above the gray fog and got the revelation that he could reach his destination relatively smoothly.

It seems that there are safety belts. The airship industry in this world has a history of many years, and the experience in all aspects is relatively sufficient... Klein was about to retract his gaze from looking outside, admiring the layout of the room and the candlelight behind the hard glass cover. , suddenly saw a group of people approaching the airship numbered "1345".

These people were both men and women. They were all wearing thin black trench coats and red gloves, and were carrying suitcases of different sizes. There was only one person wearing a mysterious psychic robe and wearing blue eye shadow and blush. , none other than Daly Simone.

Behind this lady, walking was the dark-haired and blue-eyed Leonard Mitchell.

Without anyone else noticing, Leonard's steps suddenly slowed down, and then he raised his head and looked at the second level of the airship.

His eyes then reflected Dwayne Dantès, who had spotty sideburns, white blue eyes and deep eyes, wearing a formal suit and tie.

The gentleman stood behind a window, showed a warm smile, and raised the cup in his hand.

…

"Get the Sun Bird and the Sacred Radiance Stone as soon as possible..."

Under the cover of night, Cattleya recited these two terms silently in her heart, and recalled the clues "the world" gave her at the previous Tarot meeting, and secretly made up her mind.

We must find the murderer and avenge the queen... We must not stand still, we must not be decadent, we must not give up on ourselves, we must move forward... Even if we can't do it ourselves, relying on other people, the power of the Tarot Society and even the church, as long as we can make It is acceptable to kill the "Mysterious Queen" and the death of the culprit who destroyed the "Emerald City"!

"The blood of mythical creatures" is right before your eyes, even if there is only a chance, you must try it!

Cattleya's heartbeat accelerated slightly. To this day, she still feels extremely sad when she thinks of the death of that mother-like woman.

From then on, the spell that summoned "the messenger belonging to Bernadette Gustav" no longer had any effect.

From now on, the letters I write will never have a recipient again.

From now on, the door of the "Emerald City" will never be opened again, and there will never be a figure waiting there who seems to never leave...

The person who would hold her hand and walk down the long corridor is dead. The mother who would let her sit on her knee and slowly teach her about occult knowledge is no longer there. She would let her go indifferently and write occasionally with concern. There is no one I can contact by letter.

No more…

With her eyes burning, Cattleya quickly reached out and pressed her eyebrows, raised her head, and looked at the crimson full moon in the sky.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door behind her. She immediately adjusted herself and said in her usual steady voice:

"who is it?"

"It's me, Frank, Captain." A familiar voice came from behind the door.

"Come in."

Frank pushed the door open and came in, scratched his head and smiled honestly: "Captain, I heard the first mate said that you are preparing the ingredients for the recipe?"

The captain, "Star Admiral", is Sequence 5. This is the consensus of everyone on the ship.

Since returning from the ruins of the War of Gods, the captain seemed to have lost his previous calm demeanor and became more positive. The crew therefore speculated whether it was because they had lost too many crew members after encountering the "Immortal King" and were eager to Want to go further.

The first mate made a guess, and the captain did not deny it.

Now it was the crew's turn to be surprised. As long as the captain took one step further, he would become a "demigod" with divinity! She is enough to leave her name in the holy book of any church and have a church named after her!

Cattleya didn't know the other party's intention, but nodded slightly: "Yes."

Frank rubbed his hands and asked: "Captain, I have some income recently...is there anything I can do to help you?"

Cattleya was stunned.

She said with some confusion: "No, I have already collected the main materials and most of the auxiliary materials. Frank, why do you say this?"

While talking, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be many people watching secretly outside the door of the captain's cabin.

Frank was still rubbing his hands: "Captain, you have been very busy in the past two months, running around with the Future, accepting some commissions, and also busy training new crew members... You look too Tired..." He glanced back and hinted to the captain to the group of companions who were eavesdropping outside, "So everyone recommended me to ask. We are a pirate group, although we usually rely on your reputation, captain. ...Well, I’m just here to ask on behalf of everyone, is there anything...that you can do to help..."

Cattleya looked at Frank in shock, and then at the group of eavesdropping crew members outside - she never thought that she could feel so much concern from the crew members, and suddenly felt at a loss, Cattleya had to clear her throat. , said seriously:

"I appreciate everyone's kindness."

"At this stage, I don't need anyone's financial assistance."

"Ah——" The crew members outside the captain's room let out disappointed sighs.

"But thank you, I'm very happy." Cattleya added, "I would like to buy everyone a drink. Who among you is willing?"

The chatter outside suddenly disappeared without a trace, and then Nina shouted loudly: "Long live the captain!"

"oh--!!"

"Thank you Captain!"

"The last time we had a drink was last week!"

Amidst the cheers, Navigator Ottolov quietly came over and whispered:

"captain."

"The recent route of the 'Immortal King' Agaritu is a bit strange. He and the 'Sad Death' seem to be unconsciously approaching the southeastern coast of Loen, and there - according to our people, there have been continuous demon-related incidents recently. The church is blocking information and investigating the incident."

Cattleya calmed down in the jubilant atmosphere and asked in a low voice:

"Aggregation of extraordinary characteristics?"

Autolov nodded: "That should be the case. ...If we can't keep up, it will attract Agaritu's attention."

"No, it doesn't matter. He is a devil. He can definitely feel the malice coming from me." Cattleya said slowly, "Fortunately, I have been using psychological sealed objects to give myself hints to minimize my Malice. There must be many people who hate him crazily and want him to die. In the past two months, since he has not appeared near the Future, it means that he has long forgotten about me."

"What a shame it is to survive by taking advantage of the contempt of a powerful enemy... But I will also seize this opportunity."

"He must be related to Her Majesty's death."

She couldn't forget that day.

Death brushed her shoulder and she was once again protected by her mother, while the Queen died in her place.

Cattleya turned her head naturally, smiled, and ordered the crew to bring up the two bottles of Sunian blood wine, a bottle of Nebos, and three barrels of Lelanzi that had been replenished in the cabin, and have a drink on the deck. Then her expression became slightly cold and she said to Autolov:

"I want to know the truth, and I want him to die."

Her voice was inaudible.

Traynor squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, then bent down, fished out a tabby cat from his shadow, and asked while petting the cat:

"Which Augustus is here?"

Riel's ears twitched and he relaxed his limbs with satisfaction:

"It's Prince Sunia, Grove Augustus. He has been at the mayor's residence recently, and he has extraordinary interest and enthusiasm for a sealed object. Well, that sealed object is like a lamp."

"It's not the Duchess, either. Georgina's fiefdom is in the interior of Loen, and it would cost the people and money to send troops here. But Prince Sonia's station is very close to here, and Behrens City is a large port city, with the Church of Storms and It is also convenient for the Sunia garrison to support us from the sea.”

Traynor turned to ask his temporarily assigned subordinate, the Riel in his hand was like a stretched sea cucumber:

"What are the recent internal transfers within the Iron Cross?"

The subordinate quickly said: "Due to the arrival of Loen's demigods, Sir Tony Twain was also ordered to go to the Southern Continent. Now only His Highness Raymond is stationed in Intis in the Northern Continent."

"You called Tang En here? What are you doing here? We haven't been beaten yet!"

Traynor frowned:

"The Church of Death has not said anything yet. According to the usual practice, Prince Grove must come here to negotiate and bargain first. If the negotiation breaks down, the fight will continue. Now that the negotiation table has not been put on the table, Medici plans to directly take advantage of Bei. Did Rensi copy it? Want to declare war directly on Loen? I know he is in a hurry, but can you please be patient? Where is the specific location of the transfer order he gave to Tang En?"

"Well……"

The subordinate said with some embarrassment:

"Well, Lord Tang En's transfer order is to go to Loen Colony...that is, our side, but not Behrens, but the central region. Because Lord Tang En is an Intis, it is not easy to go to the highland colony of Intis. Take action. If you don’t mind, when Lord Tang En comes and Behrens Port is captured, you can apply to be transferred to the Intis Colony."

Medici...I heard your plan even in the suburbs!

Traynor Intis Noble Vaughan frowned, his cat petting techniques gradually became simpler and rougher, he walked back and forth twice and asked again:

"What does the Church of the Eternal Burning Sun think of its previous losses in Death God's Awakening?"

"The domestic church only lost one colonial city, which is not too serious. Although the parliament and the church complained at first, the bribes from the Balam Empire have been in place, and the gold price has been slightly adjusted. Now the domestic church has no other reaction. , just secretly supporting Lun."

"After the arrival of Prince Grove, what changes happened to Sunia's coastal defense and army mobilization?"

"Uh..." The subordinate quickly opened another document bag, "Sonia's navy has indeed been mobilized and seems to be conducting military exercises, but our spies have not yet obtained specific information..."

"Have countries such as Fusac, Lundborg, and Feneport increased their investment in civil resistance organizations and churches in the southern continent?"

Sweat began to appear on the subordinate's forehead. The sea cucumber curled up on Traynor's arm and swung its tail slowly, yawning.

"Yes, yes, sir. The latest information was updated three days ago. The Church of God of War has increased its investment in the warlords of the Southern Continent, followed by Lunberg and Feneport withdrew their funding to the tribe. There are many people's The position is wavering. In addition to Katami, who was directly captured because of angering the Death Church, many warlords headed by Mesanyes are still waiting between the Balam Empire and the Loen Kingdom..." He read quickly.

"very good."

Traynor said: "Next, let the intelligence agencies' spies move to pass this information through any means."

The subordinate quickly picked up the pen and said, "Yes!"

Traynor said calmly: "Prince Grove intends to counterattack the Byron Empire in Behrens Port. The Church of Storms stationed in the Sunia Sea has cooperated with the military and has frequent personnel transfers. According to reliable information, 'Sea King' Yann Coatman will come with the army in secret."

The subordinate was shocked by the lightning strike at the opening: "But..."

There is no such reliable news at all!

"Article 2."

Traynor ignored his thoughts and continued: "Lenburg hopes to gain further favor from the warlords of the Southern Continent, intending to increase his support for the first warlord Mesanyes, and through him to reach a tacit understanding with the Death Church to obtain greater benefits. Meisanyes Sanyes is about to send troops to occupy the territories of other warlords.”

The subordinate's mouth was slightly opened, and his hand was still writing numbly.

"Article 3. Intis is worried about the current situation of the Loen colony. In order to prevent Behrens' Loen garrison from being completely defeated, the Eternal Sun Church may send troops to assist."

"Article 4... The Fusac Empire intends to take back the highland colonies that originally belonged to it. At the gateway to the Sunian Sea, the Fusac Empire's Louth seaport has already gathered troops from the Church of the God of War."

The subordinate wrote down this information, which was at least 90% false, and then heard His Excellency the Saint ask him:

"Can you tell whose ears each message should be conveyed to?"

The subordinates nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Yes!"

"That's it. Let Turing make me a cup of coffee."

Traynor hugged the sea cucumber and returned to his usual leisurely appearance. He walked out of the room unsteadily, lay down on the high-end lounge chair on the balcony, and began to bask in the warm sun of the southern continent and kill the extra time.

Riel flicked his tail: "Are you ready to take action?"

"Medici must be sick. You are using this method to force me to take action."

He put on his sunglasses and continued to look at the cat: "It is impossible to lead an army. I am too lazy to fight. Hey, I am quite looking forward to Prince Loen's negotiation methods and conditions. I never had the chance to meet Augustus. The prince."

"Twain is here just in time. I will give him this honor."
