Chapter 374 Aftermath
Abel was breathing heavily, his body was covered in blood and flesh, and the panic of facing death at close range was not so easy to erase.
This is the first time since his birth that he has experienced death at such a close distance, and he will naturally remember it forever.
Ryan's indifferent expression appeared in front of his eyes, and a seed of hatred began to sprout.
Sooner or later he will return it!
Abel's body floated up uncontrollably, and was then taken away by Gaint who fell down. He glanced at Li Ming with lingering fear.
Costat walked over, and blood-colored barriers rose on both sides, and then gradually wrapped the two of them in it.
In the sky, Dius and Crowe appeared, one on the left and one on the right, following Ryan into the imperial aircraft, seemingly acting as a check and balance.
Li Ming was wary. Although Costat seemed to have no ill intentions towards him, unexpected things happened many times, and he didn't know what the prince's purpose was.
"Do you still keep in touch with Mr. Qinglong?" Costat asked calmly.
"Wait a moment..." Li Ming's voice came out.
Costat was surprised that Li Ming's voice was not even the slightest bit rippled. Were you not injured in such a fierce collision just now?
To what extent does this mecha's kinetic energy and energy barrier reach?
I heard Li Ming say again: "Can you open a small crack in this barrier..."
"I'm sorry." Costat was slightly surprised, and a small crack opened in the blood-colored barrier above his head. After waiting for a while, Qinglong's voice came: "Your Excellency Costart..."
"Your Excellency Qinglong, I'm so sorry." Kostat looked sincere, "I didn't expect Ryan to take action suddenly. I apologize to you on his behalf."
The apology must be covered with a curtain, Li Ming He muttered something, and was a little surprised. He didn't expect Costa's posture to be so low.
This is very wrong. Even if Costart does not want to intensify the conflict, there is no need to be so humble.
"Prince, don't worry, some things are bound to happen." Li Mingyi pointed out, and then said: "However, I really didn't expect that this Prince Ryan is so murderous, Lian Ya I want to kill him too.”
Qinglong’s attitude was very gentle, and Costat smiled helplessly.
Since Polk's words were lies to him, the first suspect in attacking the Imperial base to take away or kill Nicholas was Qinglong.
Over the past forty days, he has figured out the whole story. Probably figured it out.
The feud between Qinglong and Nicholas is not complicated. It originated from the ruins of a certain civilization and involved the death of a certain descendant of Nicholas.
To be honest, he didn’t think Nicholas did anything wrong.
It’s just that Qinglong is hidden too deeply. If he showed his current strength from the beginning, Nicholas would definitely not face him.
On the matter of Nicholas, both of them knew each other tacitly, and Costart did not delve into it, but just said:
"I hope that your Excellency Qinglong can join me to clarify this misunderstanding to the outside world later. After all, it was Prince Ryan's relatives who disappeared, so it is understandable that he acted impulsively."
"This is what it should be," Li Ming agreed decisively, and was also unwilling to continue to intensify the conflict.
Costat's eyes flashed, and he hesitated for a moment when he lifted the blood barrier. He had experienced two betrayals on the spot, which had left a psychological shadow on him.
There is a large pit in the center of the battlefield, which is the center of collision between Li Ming and Rui En. The edges are smooth, with squirming black and white lines, shining with strange light, intertwining and changing in an elusive pattern.
Every squirming movement is accompanied by subtle energy fluctuations, creating some kind of communication with the surrounding space.
The World Tree is repairing the damage caused by the battle just now, and there is still a void crack in the center.
If Costat hadn’t stopped it right away, this hole would have expanded hundreds of times.
The two of them landed on the edge. Costart looked very unhappy. You could see many living beings dragging their broken limbs and wailing. This was still relatively far away, and only a trace of the aftermath was felt.
A considerable part of the life forms were directly annihilated in the energy wave that exploded at the beginning.
"Your Excellency, Prince Costate, what do you think of the damage caused by Prince Ryan's sudden attack and refusal to fulfill your promise?"
A media reporter with a face full of blood came forward and said, His face was pale, his legs were trembling, and one of his arms was gone, but he still managed to hold on and asked.
“This is a misunderstanding.” Kostat looked calm, knowing that someone was recording further away.
“In the recent attack, a close relative of Prince Ryan died without a burial place, so he had some misunderstandings about His Excellency Qinglong, but now it has been made clear.”
“Yes. "Li Ming spoke at the right time, and the burly mechanical body buzzed: "This is indeed a misunderstanding. I can also understand the grief of Prince Ryan for losing his loved ones."
Costant breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was someone who did not betray him. Then he took over the words: "Due to the consequences of Prince Ryan's grief, we are willing to bear all the compensation."
< br>"Then what do you think about the accusation of dominating the Holy Elephant and the declaration of the leader-Polk?" Seeing Costant's mild attitude, more media reporters came forward.
I have to say that these people are very dedicated. At this level, they dare to ask.
Prince Costat frowned slightly, Diaz had already left, and several foreign spokespersons, gathered by soldiers, took over here.
The two of them were surrounded and left.
Then, Li Ming also released the mechanical body on his body, and the four kings fell down, with obvious signs of damage on their bodies.
The metal shell was pitted and even broken in some places, and the jagged fractures flashed with electric sparks and made a sizzling sound.
The energy transmission pipeline is also damaged in many places. The leaked energy light appears and disappears, appearing extremely unstable. The armor at the mechanical joints is badly broken, making a heavy friction sound when rotating, and may fall apart at any time.
Normal repair may cost a lot of metal energy, but the kings can share his blessing and use the restoration blessing to repair automatically.
As the strength of the material increases, although the recovery speed is a bit slower, at least there is no need for metal energy.
But this time, directly bringing the possibility level of Qinglong to the divine craftsman, the benefits will be immeasurable, but it will take time to be realized.
The most important thing right now is to get out of here. The tanks, including the armor, have been seriously damaged. Whether they are worn or not, they cannot resist Ryan's attack again.
But with the [Life Power Core], this thing can withstand a fatal attack and still leaves room for maneuver.
"Oh, your teacher is laughing." Costart's eyes swept over him, watching the mechanical bodies sink into his body, he was puzzled and at the same time, he was more and more surprised.
Li Ming actually had only minor injuries.
Qinglong...Qinglong...
"I hope he doesn't have any grudges." Costart continued.
"You're too polite." Li Ming muttered in his heart that Costart's attitude was a bit too gentle.
Don’t you doubt that Qinglong is behind this series of events?
Or is this old boy planning something?
"Teacher admires the Empire very much and thinks it is the leader of interstellar civilization." Li Ming echoed, wondering about the other party's intentions.
Costat smiled and was about to speak when his expression changed slightly.
Li Ming also noticed something. He looked up a little late, and saw another crack appeared in the sky, and a silver river poured in. If you look closely, you will see that it is a densely packed mechanical body, like a raging torrent of metal. Each mechanical body shines with a cold luster, and the complex lines and components on the body are dazzling.
The number is endless, and it soon covers half of the sky. Among them are thousands of huge mechanical bodies with a height of one kilometer, which are extremely eye-catching. They are not human-shaped, but similar to octopus.
The huge body is like suspended metal mountains, full of a sense of oppression. The thick mechanical tentacles stretch out wantonly. Each tentacle is inlaid with dense energy crystals, shining with a breathtaking light.
The huge head is a sphere composed of complex metal structures and light patterns. Countless sensors and scanning devices are distributed on the sphere.
The surface of the body is covered with thick armor, with mysterious patterns or energy transmission lines etched on the armor.
“The Mechanical Soul Master!” Costate’s face was gloomy.
The remaining media reporters are almost desperate. Isn’t this over yet?
boom!
A tall humanoid mechanical body landed like a meteor, with a compelling power, its eyes swept over Li Ming.
Not dead?
The master craftsman was a little surprised. The previous carrier was not very powerful and was directly annihilated in the aftermath. He did not see what happened next.
Did Costart step in to stop it?
The master craftsman of Mechanical Soul was thinking in his heart, and the shock and anger in his heart subsided a little.
Costat asked head-on: "Your Excellency, Master Craftsman, have you forgotten the agreement we signed at the beginning? Without permission, your private armed forces are not allowed to enter the central world."
< br>"I haven't forgotten, but Prince Ryan Killing our carrier is like a slap in the face." The Mechanical Soul Master's attitude was very strong, "And regarding the death of the Hammer Forger, you have to give me an explanation."
They are really enemies! Yeyou, Li Ming secretly sighed, the master of the Mechanical Soul jumped out and fired the first shot.
Costat looked ugly and shouted: "This matter... still needs to be investigated."
He wanted to deny it, but he couldn't deny it. Countless living beings saw the self-destruction of the ruling icon.
That is the most loyal servant of the hammersmith.
"What else is there to investigate? The empire must give us an explanation." The Mechanical Soul Master had a strong attitude, and his eyes fell on Li Ming again, "Also, a prince, shameless, sneak attack on a A-level life form.”
Is this supporting yourself?
Li Ming was surprised, and soon thought that this was solicitation, so he remained silent.
"Do you want to go to war with the empire?" Prince Costart stared at him coldly.
The Mechanical Soul Master snorted coldly, "Threatening people with war is indeed the end of the road."
He did not press further, but turned around and left. The mechanical army covering the sky again It quickly submerged into the crack.
Li Ming looked at it with envy in his heart. Wherever he went, thousands of machines followed him. This was the master craftsman.
"I'm sorry, the attitude of the Mechanical Soul is a bit worse." The creator of the craftsman appeared out of nowhere, changed into a similar carrier, and his tone was very gentle.
Costart's face softened, and the creative master looked at Li Ming, "Tell your teacher, we look forward to meeting him."
"In addition, Your Excellency, I would like to inform you in advance that the association is already drafting a statement of inquiry. Maybe, we will evacuate the empire.”
Kostat’s face softened and became stiff again. Compared to the tough attitude of the Mechanical Soul Master, this soft knife made him feel more uncomfortable.
He hesitated to speak, but at this point, his gentle attitude was of no use, and he ended up expressionless.
“My teacher also admires these two master craftsmen very much and often mentions them in front of me.” Li Ming said immediately.
Respect? The creative craftsman nodded with satisfaction.
From the side, it can be seen that Qinglong should be a rising star. Qinglong is very mysterious. The only external contact point is Li Ming. Some clues can be inferred from any words.
However, it seems now that he has become a master craftsman not long ago, and his accumulation and foundation are still lacking.
The two talked for a few more words, and Li Ming's humble attitude won a lot of favor. The creative craftsman also said to Costart: "He is a good prospect as a machinist. I hope there will be no more accidents." "
Costat just snorted.
Li Ming carefully considered his words. It was enough to make Qinglong become a master craftsman. He didn't want to make him too strong.
After today ends, the interstellar will inevitably undergo a wave of big changes. If it is too strong, you may be particularly concerned.
Let’s fill in the bragging slowly first.
After the creator left, Li Ming and Kostat chatted for a few words before preparing to leave.
If you don’t leave here, you will still feel uneasy after all. You always feel like that old guy Ryan is watching you secretly, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.
Costat insisted on sending someone to the docking station of the spaceship, but Li Ming refused because he did not want to attract too much attention. He just changed his mimicry appearance and disappeared into the crowd.
Finding a secluded place, Li Ming directly started the [Dimension Shuttle Engine] and ran first as a courtesy.
Before leaving, I did not forget to send a message to Robin, agreeing to meet up.
......
In the imperial aircraft, Prince Ryan looked at Dius and Crowe in front of him with an indifferent expression, "You also have a relationship with Qinglong?"
< br>
"To be honest, I've never seen it before." Dius sat in mid-air with a lazy posture, his left leg resting on his right leg.
"Then why are you stopping me?" Ryan said coldly.
Dius smiled: "First, it's because of Costart's request. We are all old acquaintances, so we can't just ignore it. Second, sell the magic craftsman who has never met before. , a small favor is nice.”
The sides of Ryan’s cheeks twitched, and there was a third reason, they were happy to see the empire embarrassed.
He suddenly turned his head, looked at Costart who was walking in, and said sarcastically: "How about it, what benefit did Lord Qinglong give you?"
Costart ignored him, looked at Dius and Crowe, and said in a deep voice: "Both of you, I would suggest that the Empire apply for an emergency blocking order from the Interstellar Alliance and block relevant information on the Interstellar Network."
"Otherwise, if these things are allowed to circulate on the interstellar network today, it will cause unforeseen consequences. The consequences of foreknowledge. "
"I hope you two can clarify the stakes to the higher-ups. You are all witnesses, and you should be able to see that there are extraordinary forces behind this incident."< br>
