Chapter 422: One trick, eaten all over the world
“A gift?” Costat was a little surprised and felt wary.
Qinglong was tricked by them, and he prepared gifts. He didn't want to trick them in turn, right?
But not reaching out to hit the smiling man, Costart hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I'll wait here."
Li Ming nodded with a smile and ended the communication.
If what Li Ming said was true, a spaceship would dock with them just over ten minutes later.
A team of humanoid robots came up with a metal box. After being inspected three times inside and outside, it took more than ten minutes before it was delivered to Costat.
"Your Highness, this is a gift from His Excellency Qinglong." The person who came to give the gift was Ford after plastic surgery. He was very polite and courteous. Faced with Costart, such a big shot that he had never seen before. , and still neither humble nor arrogant.
Costat frowned slightly, and his subordinates had handed over the smart terminal, which displayed various detection data and three-dimensional models of internal items.
“This is...a small mecha?”
Costart had a strange look on his face, Fred nodded, walked forward calmly, opened the metal box, and said sideways: "Made by Qinglong - Xijinlan hand-made mecha model."
Costat took a look. , the mecha model is only one meter high, almost exactly the same as the one worn by Qinglong. The surface is blue and gold, the appearance is exquisite, and the details are well processed.
What does Qinglong mean?
Costat subconsciously speculated that mocking the Holy Emperor was just an empty shell?
"The things have been delivered, I'm leaving first." Ford bowed, and then led the people away.
After the other party left, Costat took the mecha model out of the small box and looked at the test data: "It's just an ordinary Xijin material. It doesn't emit any waveband or spectrum to the outside world. The information state is also stable. It's not a locator. ?”
After looking at it for a long time, he gave it a sharp squeeze, leaving a small crater on the metal arm. It looked like there was nothing wrong with it.
"Is it necessary?" Costat shook his head and asked someone to pack the things. Since he was sure there would be no problem, he would definitely take them back intact.
Looking up and seeing through the porthole again, the fleet of spaceships with almost no margins visible. After hesitating for a moment, he still gave the order: "Let the frigate clear a path."
"Yes!"< br>
He needs to take away not only his own fleet, but also the battleships brought by Ryan.
The combined scale of the two is huge, especially the Anusius. As a small interstellar fortress, it is really troublesome to move.
Moreover, queue jumping was required. Many spaceships received orders from the empire and were very dissatisfied, but they did not dare to say anything and they all got out of the way.
It took nearly two or three hours before the empire's fleet completely entered the star gate.
In the team, in another small spaceship that looked inconspicuous, the navigator looked away from the imperial fleet flying in front of him, his expression gloomy.
This time, the Pioneers were completely defeated. They originally wanted to use Ryan's incident to expand their results, but the final result was completely different from what they imagined.
"Qinglong..." The Navigator was angry. This guy actually turned around and cooperated with the Empire. There was no guarantee that the other party had not sold the Pioneer.
It really shouldn’t have been checked and balanced at the beginning, but now it has become too big to lose. No one can figure out Qinglong’s background, let alone how much information he has leaked to the empire.
"After years of planning, I can't let you ruin it for me." His eyes were cold, as if he had made some determination.
………
It took a long time to return home. After entering the stargate navigation state, Costat carried the metal box and walked through the corridor all the way to his room.
Before entering the room, he temporarily let his assistant look at the box in his hand.
"I guess this guy wants to contact Adam. He is very well-educated."
In the box, Li Ming, who had already possessed the mecha model, muttered to himself.
One trick can be used everywhere. He still used the old method, possessing himself on a small vehicle and easily evading all detection equipment.
After entering the room, Costart activated various shielding measures and contacted his elder brother.
"Holy Emperor..." He nodded to the screen, "We have entered the star gate and started to return."
"Yes." Adam nodded. The entire battle process was broadcast live, with real-time communication, absolutely He already knew most of the things and everything was expected.
"Qinglong didn't have any attitude afterwards, right?" he asked.
“It seemed that he was a little dissatisfied, but he didn’t do anything.” Costat thought, looking at Adam with admiration in his eyes:
"This matter has mixed advantages and disadvantages for him. Besides, it is an olive branch from us. I don't believe that the benefits that the Pioneer gave him can be greater than ours."
"After this incident, he was in the Pioneer I'm afraid there will be a lot of criticism, and the day of defection is just around the corner."
Adam said lightly: "I didn't switch sides because of him."
"Not to make him switch sides?" Kostat paused slightly, with many doubts in his heart, but he also noticed that Adam was playing a game of chess. It's a very big chess piece, and he can only vaguely figure out the context.
He wouldn’t ask Adam what he didn’t want to say. He just passed it through his mind and said, “By the way, Qinglong gave you a gift?”
"A gift?" Adam, who looked calm, was obviously interested: "What gift?"
"A model mecha made of very ordinary materials." Costart said.
"?" The confusion in Adam's eyes flashed away, "Taunting me as just an empty shell?"
His first reaction was the same as Costart's, and then he smiled nonchalantly. Laughing, "Since you gave it away, then bring it back to me as a decoration."
Neither of them paid much attention, but Adam calmed down and said: "There is one more thing, come on You have to be careful on the way?”
"Will there be an ambush?" Costate's face suddenly became serious.
"Qinglong's intelligence only talked about what Ryan did, but I don't believe that Ryan himself has this special technology." Adam pondered, "This is the only uncertain variable, there is no guarantee No rescue."
Finally, Adam solemnly said: "We must ensure Ryan's safety. He is very valuable, and the possibility of becoming the ultimate life form may be hidden. In his body."
"I understand." Kostat solemnly promised: "Whoever wants to touch Ryan must step over my body."
"No..." Adam shook his head and softened his expression: "If it is really dangerous, saving your life is more important. There are new clues in the Star of Eternal Silence, and you need to deal with them."
Costart's face was tense and he nodded heavily.
The communication ended. Costat looked at the dark screen and frowned slightly. After a long time, he switched the page and ordered in a deep voice: "Bring Ryan out and send me a small battleship."< br>
......
After ending the communication, Adam slowly exhaled, looked at the huge star map in front of him, and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab everything in his hand.
"All this is just the beginning..."
When Ruoyou Ruowu's voice came out, his eyes seemed to glow with a blazing light, and the corners of his mouth trembled, as if he was about to grin, then converged, and finally fell silent. ...
In the lower spaceship cabin of the Golden Hunting Blade, several figures walked quietly. Wherever they went, all the surveillance probes turned away.
In front of an inconspicuous small transport spacecraft, Prince Costart pressed one hand on Ryan, and his subordinates were reporting:
"It has been arranged. No one knows that you are bringing As Ryan boards this small spacecraft, we will return according to the planned trajectory.”
"Yeah." Costa nodded, "We can separate at the next star gate node."
"Are you afraid of someone ambushing you, Qinglong?" Ryan was still sneering, and had already put on his clothes. More onerous confinement measures were taken, like a suit of heavy armor, with almost only one head exposed.
Costat ignored him and just pushed him into the cabin. Ryan staggered and hit the wall with an ugly look on his face.
"Bapuluo, give me the box." Before entering the door, he looked at his men again and stretched out his hand.
The other party handed over the box containing Qinglong's gift. Since Adam said to bring it back to him, he would naturally make sure it was safe. This thing is safest if it stays with him.
After entering the spacecraft, the hatch is closed and the synchronized sailing state is started. The empire's fleet can even release small spacecraft in the stargate jump channel.
Everything is intelligent automation, Costart doesn’t have to worry about anything, he and Ryan are the only two people in the narrow cabin.
Putting the box at his feet, Costart sat in front of Ryan with a solemn expression: "Ryan, who are you working with?"
"What, you want to interrogate me? "Ryan's hair was messy, his head raised, and the back of his head was leaning against the metal On the shell, he said casually: "You are not qualified enough, let Adam come."
"You are no longer a prince, just an ordinary citizen of the empire." Costat snorted coldly, his eyes flashed slightly, and his tone Unskillful Path:
"On your own, you definitely don't have this ability. Your state seems to be very wrong. There should be side effects."
"I don't have this ability?" Ryan glanced at him. , "Yes, Costart, you have learned to irritate me."
"But, you Don't forget, if you want to anger someone, the prerequisite is that the other person takes you seriously."
Costat looked ugly and scolded coldly: "Ryan, do you know that your actions? Let the empire lose its face!"
"It was you who brought this matter to light," Ryan said with a stern look.
"Do you think we are the only ones who know!" Costat said in a deep voice, "Qinglong is just the first one to come to us. There must be a second and third one. You have too many loopholes in what you do!"
< br>Ryan still seemed unconcerned, "Didn't Qinglong tell you who is cooperating with me?"
Costat's tone softened, "Qinglong and we are just using each other, he There is a hurdle we cannot avoid if we want to deal with you. You have already done the job, so we have no choice but to resort to this."
"He asked to execute you on the spot, but Holy Emperor Adam sternly refused."< br>
"Ryan, the empire is declining day by day, and there are many internal contradictions. It's not like you can't see it. We are all the royal family, why can't we work together?"
"Work together?" Ryan's eyes suddenly condensed, "I want to kill Qinglong, can you help me?"
Costat hesitated: "Not for the time being, he is still of great use."
"But don't worry, when everything settles, we will help you handle everything." He said very sincerely.
"Huh..." Li Ming listened clearly in the box and was not surprised at all by Costaat's statement. These guys can eat people without spitting out their bones.
However, he also captured a message that the empire seemed to have other ideas for him.
"Interesting..."
Ryan stared at him, but suddenly sneered: "As expected, our respectable Holy Emperor is treacherous and willing to pay any price. When he killed my mother and my wife, Why don’t we talk about working together?”
Costat’s face changed slightly, and the back of Ryan’s head tilted back, and with a bang, it hit the metal shell again. His tone was cold:
"Don't think I don't know why you didn't kill me. You were just curious about why I became so powerful. You should really listen to Qinglong and kill me on the spot."
"Winner or loser, I have nothing to say. He did win this time, but you'd better pray that he keeps winning."
"Qinglong will definitely regret cooperating with you one day."
Costat shook his head and talked for a long time, but did not get any useful information. This was what he expected. At their level, it was impossible to be A few words of persuasion.
The cabin fell into silence. A few hours later, they carried out the conversion of the stargate node.
An inconspicuous little spaceship in the imperial fleet changed its direction and took another channel.
……
In the silent starry sky, several inconspicuous figures stand here, all covered with black robes, their heads drooped, and their appearance shapes are different.
"Huh?" A humanoid figure standing in the center of the field slowly raised its head, with a hideous and ugly face. It was Levin Baker. His eyes were filled with blood, and he was quite surprised.
"Separated from the main force, Kostat is guarding me."
"Unfortunately...it's useless."
Levin Baker stretched out his hand, A figure standing on the left walked out, raised his hand, and tore apart the space.
He will not give up on Ryan, the experimental subject. He has not yet studied the balance mechanism between alchemical substances and Tyrax's bloodline. Even if he finds another member of the royal family, he may not be able to reproduce Ryan's situation.
Although this guy acts recklessly and impulsively, and is only a little clever, his mind is indeed far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.
Thinking, several figures disappeared into the cracks.
......
"...According to the information left by the hammersmith, a new space-time distortion area was found. According to parameter comparison, there is a 95% possibility that it was created by the Star of Eternal Silence. Manufacturing." He frowned,
"...The area is located near the Red River Basin in the deep dimension world, the Red River Star Stream?"
In the driving seat, Prince Costat looked at the information. This small spacecraft did not have the ability to communicate in the star gate channel. These were the information he had previously received through the Golden Hunting Blade.
After returning, he will continue to take over this work non-stop and is getting familiar with it in advance.
"The Red River Star Stream runs through the main universe and the deep dimensional world. If the Star of Eternal Silence is really there, there will be a lot of trouble..." He pondered and checked the information carefully.
However, a few hours later, the spacecraft suddenly sounded an alarm, "Warning, the space parameters are disordered, and it is about to fall out of the star gate channel. Please be prepared for a collision!"
"Warning..."
"Huh?" Kostat's face changed slightly, and when he looked up, the space energy that was originally restricted in the surroundings had become extremely violent.
