Chapter 376 How can you still call for foreign aid?
"...The empire claimed that regarding the accusation of dominating the sacred elephant, they have prepared to set up a joint investigation team with the Mechanics Association to determine the authenticity of the accusation..."
"...The Empire declares that the content of the Polk Declaration is an evil plan of a terrorist organization to maliciously provoke a peaceful interstellar environment. The entire article is completely fabricated. Interstellar citizens are requested to carefully distinguish it."
"...The Empire severely condemns the attack on the Imperial station in the Sea of Stars, and will do whatever it takes to bring these heinous thugs to justice!
At the same time, we warn the terrorists and rebels in the interstellar that any behavior that dares to provoke the peaceful interstellar environment is not allowed by the empire and will be severely curbed! ”
The tone of the three external announcements was more severe than the last. Li Ming looked at the virtual screen in front of him. He was a well-known interstellar self-media blogger with a pink flower on his head.
Analyzing the wording of the empire’s announcement word for word, I finally summarized it in three words - "He is anxious"
"The empire has something to play with this time." Li Ming secretly sighed. The cold wind around him was biting, and the ice crystal ground was endless. The cold air was raging in the air, and every breath he took was like inhaling sharp ice particles.
Li Ming naturally didn't feel cold, but felt more refreshed, and looked through the array again.
There is also a lot of discussion about Qinglong on the Internet, and it can even barely compete with the Polk Declaration.
Mainly because of the amount of information in the Polk Declaration, which requires a certain threshold of understanding, but the name of the Master Craftsman is still very loud.
The Mechanics Association has a great influence, and the sudden appearance of a master craftsman naturally attracts widespread attention, and because of its mystery, people are becoming more and more curious, intending to dig out the secrets behind it.
Regarding Li Ming, the popularity is much less. Although the development potential is ridiculously high, this thing seems to be potential after all, just like an IQ test, and it may be discussed more usually.
But in front of people like Polk, Qinglong, and the Hammersmith, it is nothing.
Turn off the smart terminal and Tanwei emerges. There are several obvious dents on the surface of the metal shell.
But Li Ming has used [Battlefield Doctor] to convert it into a recovery blessing, which is now nearly 200 times stronger.
At a subtle level that is difficult to detect with the naked eye, a mysterious energy flow is slowly surging, and the metal particles are accurately reorganized and repaired.
Healing at an extremely slow but steady rate, the metal particles melted into each other, gradually filling the damaged area.
At the same time, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Imperial Guard were also thrown out of Li Ming's body, and their wounds became more obvious and serious.
Because the strength of the material has increased, the repair speed is not that fast, but at least it does not use metal energy.
Li Ming has been carrying out this kind of repair work these days, and has basically repaired everything.
Unfortunately, only the Tan Guard, which can be possessed and controlled, and the Guard's characteristics can share the blessing, can be automatically repaired by the recovery blessing, but other controlled objects cannot.
After entering the repair state, he secretly thought about it.
It was obvious that the interstellar situation was about to become chaotic, but he was prepared to calm down for a while and digest the gains this time.
At least control what you get from the Holy Elephant.
This requires more than three billion metal energy, which needs to be accumulated for a period of time.
The master craftsman Qinglong will also bring a lot of benefits. He just talked with Ulrich not long ago, and this wily guy was quite excited.
The overlord of the Chaos Star Gap, the Planet Collector - Barbarol, immediately donated the Meteor Flame Galaxy to the Mechanical Royal Court, enjoying the permanent right to use it.
This overlord of the Chaos Star Gap doesn't mind showing his affection for a divine craftsman.
By the same token, the Mechanical Royal Court will usher in a period of expansion and obtain a large share of the Chaotic Star Gap's arms.
Of course, Ulrich also expressed his concerns from the side. Prince Ryan is obviously not a broad-minded person.
But Li Ming reassured him that in the central world, Prince Ryan dared to take action without hesitation, that was because Costart was still there.
Even if the true form of Qinglong appeared with more power than expected, he wouldn't be too afraid.
Li Ming didn't believe that he really dared to take the risk of being ambushed. At this moment, to go to the chaotic star gap and destroy a planet, the benefits were not proportional to the risks.
And as far as he knew, the prince was a little preoccupied with himself and left his post without permission, risking killing Abel. These two things were enough for him to drink.
He pondered, and then mentioned the development progress. After controlling the infinite hammer and the Holy Spirit core, it will probably be able to fill in the boasts. It shouldn't take too long.
Li Ming thought about it and sighed again. In the whole matter, he was actually trying to catch a duck.
Originally, the whole thing had nothing to do with Qinglong or himself. Although he got the greatest benefit secretly, no one knew about it openly.
If Ryan hadn't suddenly come out and forced him to fight back, he would have been able to develop in a more stable manner.
Although there are benefits now, there are also many uncertainties. Although the Master Craftsman has a great reputation, he is also a great threat. If the origin of Qinglong is unclear, many people will have trouble sleeping and eating.
He reviewed the whole thing and confirmed it again, "No one should know that I got those things, and the governing holy elephant destroyed itself."
"But the Pioneers have to give them an explanation. I don't want to be coerced by their benefits this time."
He frowned slightly. If he wanted to prove that he had contributed to this matter, he had to admit that Li Ming had secretly communicated with the Holy Elephant, but there was no guarantee that people would not think that the real successor was actually him.
Especially the pioneers.
"If you doubt it, just doubt it. Qinglong is a master craftsman after all, but he can't find anything. It's nothing if he just doubts it." Li Ming thought, everything can't be perfect, there must be choices.
Explaining this matter clearly not only explained the benefits provided by the pioneer before, but he also needed to join the council.
If he could know the Pioneer's final plan earlier this time, he would be much calmer.
"The entire company must be strung together to make it perfect... How should I put it, let's just say Qinglong and Forging Hammer are old acquaintances..."
Li Ming thought about his words, his body suddenly trembled, and his eyes became much deeper, "It turns out that here... there is a Prince Costate, the right hand of the empire."
While putting the whole thing together and thinking about what to say to the Pioneer, he figured out why Kostat had such a good attitude and why he wanted to save him.
"Sowing discord..." he realized.
Because he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation for Costaat's confrontation with Prince Ryan for Li Ming.
Costart's excuse that he didn't want to cause such a big fuss was unsustainable. The situation at the scene had long been out of control. Even if he didn't kill him, he could have caught him, but he let him go.
Afraid of offending Qinglong? Even more impossible.
It is very possible that Qinglong and Prince Costat have known each other for a long time, reached some kind of agreement, and even said that the two are good friends.
"He dug a hole for me without saying a word." Li Ming came back to his senses and couldn't help but praise.
Prince Costart has been playing both sides from the beginning. He is very restrained in everything he does. He looks like a good old man and has no restraint when digging holes.
"So, Kostat has also begun to doubt Qinglong, and is even sure that he is a member of the Pioneers?" Li Ming thought about it. After thinking about this clearly, many things suddenly became clear.
"This old guy probably wants to win over me to get inside information about the Pioneers." Li Ming pondered, but his expression became increasingly weird. "This matter doesn't seem to be a bad thing to me." "If I cooperate. With Kostat acting as a double agent, there will be almost no pressure from within the empire, and Ryan alone will not be able to make any waves.”
"But the rhetoric from the pioneers needs to be carefully considered."
Li Ming kept thinking about it, and even contacted Blackbeard once. After a long time, he responded with a simple text, saying that he was too busy now and would take the initiative to study it in a few days.
"This should be okay." Li Ming stared at the virtual screen, which was full of dense text. This was his response to the pioneers and various situations he might face.
There are also previews of various situations facing Costat.
After scanning it again, he thought of many details and revised them.
Not long after, his face changed slightly, and he looked up into the cold deep wind. A small shuttle spacecraft arrived, its propulsion engine stalled, and it landed on the ice.
The cabin door opened with a buzzing sound, and Robin came out with excitement on his face. He looked at the changed Li Ming to confirm his identity, and said with sincerity in his eyes, "Old Li!"
"Old Li!" He stepped forward quickly and shouted again.
Li Ming was speechless and shook his head: "As for it?"
"As for, as for..." Robin nodded hurriedly, playing snobbery to the extreme, and said flatteringly: "I didn't expect that old man Qinglong was actually a master craftsman. You are a student of the master craftsman. You have the potential to develop at level 60, which is rare in history. ”
"Okay." Li Ming was too lazy to pay attention to him, put away the Tanwei and the Four Heavenly Kings, and said: "Leave here first."
At this point, Robin's flattering expression paused slightly. Just when he was about to speak, Li Ming's face changed slightly, "Did you bring someone here?"
The strong wind was split by a T-shaped spacecraft, which was a large spacecraft. It hovered above the two people. The propulsion engine did not shut down. It was a bad person.
Li Ming frowned, not quite believing that Robin would betray him, but the scene in front of him was obviously within Robin's expectation.
A figure jumped down from the spaceship, like a meteor falling. The strong wind was torn apart by this powerful impact, forming a short-term vacuum zone.
This figure hit the thick ice, and there was a loud "boom" sound. The ice cracked instantly, and countless huge ice cubes scattered in all directions.
The cracks spread quickly like a spider web, and a biting cold air came out of the bottomless cracks.
He looked so handsome when he appeared, and Li Ming was wary, but soon, this wariness turned into something strange.
The ice mist dispersed, and the figure of the opponent emerged. He was a strong man with a scar face, wearing a black combat armor, with two cross-grip handles on his back. He crossed his fists and said in a cold voice: "Why don't you run away?"
This is just an A-level life form. Robin was crazy, so he would bring an A-level life form to ambush him.
His eyes fell on Li Ming, and he couldn't help but show some vigilance, but it quickly dissipated. He looked at Robin again and said lightly: "Is he your friend?"
"You may not know that outsiders are not allowed to interfere in the battle between the two of us."
What the hell?
Li Ming was a little confused, but soon realized something and narrowed his eyes.
Another heir?
"It's a pity that your friend will also be killed by you." His eyes were cold. Because of his understanding of the rules and after confirming that the other party was an A-level life form, he didn't worry about anything.
"Boss, I don't want to either, can you..." Robin said cautiously.
Li Ming understood. No wonder Robin was so flattering as soon as he came up. It turned out that he had something to ask for.
It just so happened that he was also very curious about what happened to this kind of successor. Robin was not easy to deal with, but this guy was just right.
The scar-faced man snorted coldly. Just when he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed drastically. His eyes blurred, and he felt his breathing stagnant, and a terrifying energy breath hit his face.
In an instant, he only saw the fist shrouded in flames. It was simple and unpretentious, but it carried the momentum of destroying everything, heading straight for his head, like a violent beast.
The fist twisted the surrounding space crazily, and the speed was so fast that it almost exceeded the limit of his visual capture, leaving only a blurry afterimage.
How is that possible!
His pupils shrank sharply, and endless fear surged in his heart, but his body had no time to react in the face of this astonishing speed.
In just an instant, the face collapsed and the whole person was spinning. Then, severe pain swept through the nerves like a raging tide. Every cell was burned by the flames, and the nerves seemed to be pierced by steel needles.
The whole person flew backwards like a cannonball, tearing out a wave of air. Wherever it passed, the air made a sharp explosion.
Ice chips scattered all around, turning into countless fine ice crystals in the cold air, shining with a cold light.
"You're not dead?" Li Ming was surprised. He had no reservations about his punch.
"He's going to run!" Robin suddenly shouted.
"...Skeleton...Skeleton..." The scar-faced man wailed, his face deeply sunken, and the cold mechanical sound sounded in his ears, which made him feel extremely relieved at this moment.
"It is detected that someone is interfering with the hunting process. The enemy's strength exceeds expectations and is preparing to evacuate."
The purple energy gradually enveloped him, and the scar-faced man felt resentful. He didn't expect that the other party was so strong, "Damn it, wait until I'm stronger..."
Before he finished speaking, his face froze with resentment, his heart almost stagnated, and his vision went dark. A wide mechanical palm held his whole body in its hands, and the purple energy covering the surface made an overwhelmed sound.
"Warning, the enemy's strength is unpredictable, and the space jump has stopped."
The cold mechanical sound made the scar-faced man almost fall into despair. The housekeeper once led him to escape from an S-class life form, but now he spoke unpredictable words.
"Interesting..." The burly mechanical body stood up. Li Ming had already appeared in the form of a mechanical king, not the iron king... er... Xuanwu form.
Iron Bastard really didn't sound good to him, so he decided to call all his defensive forms Xuanwu.
The combat form with half strength and half defense is called White Tiger Form.
The white tiger form in its full glory should be able to compete with S-class life forms that are 90% developed.
The damage has not yet been completely repaired, but there is still no problem in catching this little guy.
The scarred man was at a loss, and his vision gradually became clearer. When he saw the pair of blue mechanical pupils, a kind of panic filled his body.
"Li...Li Ming?"
He recognized it. This was the mechanical body that resisted Prince Ryan's blow.
The scar-faced man was confused and confused. Because of the secrets on his body and the warning from the supervisor, he did not even dare to approach those big shots.
