Chapter 457 I really found it! Qinglong actually... (On the last day of 24 years, I wish you all a Happy New Year)
"Huh?" Li Ming's eyes suddenly brightened, "Go on..."
Where Li Ming couldn't see, Abel's face was tense, "The House of Commons has confirmed that the Holy Castle has recovered, and your teacher seems to be one of the insiders, and may take action."
The Empire...the House of Commons, are you sure that the Holy Castle has revived...is it related to me?
Do you already know that I entered? Li Ming subconsciously speculated further, and then denied it.
No, the Holy Castle involves a lot, and it is something that can reverse the interstellar situation. If the empire knows that I have half-entered, they will attack me no matter what.
Abel's words were vague. I'm afraid this guy only knows a few clues and needs to squeeze out more.
"Your Highness..." Li Ming smiled, "As a trading partner, I want to remind you that even if you don't know the accuracy of the information, don't use it. It may, it seems, maybe this kind of word will be bargained for."
Abel clenched his fists and choked out another sentence, "They compared and screened the information of the selected people over the years, and finally determined that there is such a person beside your teacher."
Robin!
Li Ming's face darkened slightly. As expected of the empire, this could be sifted out.
Judging from the situation, I'm afraid it has been screened out for some time.
However, why didn’t you take action...
Li Ming frowned and thought a lot. He might have tried a lot, but he didn't succeed.
He thought of the invitation that Robin had received inexplicably, and of Barbarol's sudden arrival.
In fact, he is still not sure what Barbarol is here to do. He only has some speculations and seems to want to fight him.
However, the chosen one must be at least level X before they can participate in regular Titan trials.
Nowadays, they are generally A-level. If we start now, is the empire planning to raise them in a centralized manner?
Li Ming felt that this should not be the case, as it would consume too much time and resources.
"What is their purpose in finding the chosen one?" Li Ming asked thoughtfully.
After Abel was silent for a moment, he said: "I don't know."
"Tsk, if there is only such a piece of information, the value will be greatly reduced." Li Ming shook his head, "Do you know how long that list is?"
"Three thousand people. The lower-level members are at least the wives of the military or administrative leaders of a certain galaxy. The intermediate-level members are at least the governors, not to mention the senior members..."
Every time Li Ming said a quantifier, Abel's heart trembled, and uncontrollable greed filled his heart.
Compared to the three melons and two dates under his command, to him, this was simply an extremely huge force.
If it can be used for one's own purposes, not to mention offensive and defensive changes, at least it will have the confidence to overturn the table.
Of course, he was talking about flipping the table with his brothers.
"Let's do this. For this information, I count you as thirty low-level members." Li Ming responded with a strange pricing method, "plus one mid-level member."
"This is the core secret of the empire. Is it worth just this much? I need to add more!" Abel was quite dissatisfied. It took him a lot of courage to start exchanging these secrets that were already considered core secrets.
"Well..." Li Ming pretended to ponder, "Since we are all old friends, and we need to build upon each other's foundation of trust, I will add ten more low-level members and one mid-level member."
Is this even close... Abel calculated it subconsciously, but his face turned ugly. He had actually begun to measure the value of other information.
There was a feeling of guilt in his heart, but when he saw the encrypted file sent by the other party, he opened it immediately. Looking at the series of lists, an indescribable feeling came out.
Li Ming said gently: "I hope the friendship between His Highness and I can last for a long time, helping and supporting each other."
Abel's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Don't try to use this to hold me hostage and do something."
"Your Highness is too vigilant. You said it last time, why should I threaten you? Is there any benefit to me?" Li Ming asked, and then added:
"There are always many setbacks on the road to the throne of the Holy Emperor. I hope His Highness can be strong."
"You..." Abel was speechless. He felt like being seen through for no reason. This uncomfortable feeling made him end the communication directly.
"Tsk... It feels like I've been stimulated..." Li Ming shook his head. The information Abel could provide was quite high-level, and even if it was just hearsay, it would be valuable.
Take Robin for example.
"The power of the House of Commons is mainly within the empire, and it is half the world with the royal family. For Adam, this is a more troublesome opponent. Giving them the Holy Castle should stop them from making mistakes in the matter of the House of Lords. That’s the way the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.”
Li Ming has more information, and he knows that Adam's ambitions are quite big.
"But it is impossible for him to let the Holy Castle be found, otherwise how can he gather power, and instead he will delay time. Qinglong is sitting in the Mechanical Court, and without Adam's support, no one should dare to come directly."
The more he thought about it, the clearer it became, "However, once my waistcoat appears elsewhere, wait...that so-called tasting meeting, doesn't it also have something to do with the House of Commons?"
An idea flashed in Li Ming's mind, but his expression became gloomy and uncertain: "Qinglong must take action regarding the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization. Otherwise, if you bring Robin with you, you might be able to fish..."
< br>
"But the situation in the Red River Star Stream is more complicated. The Mechanical Royal Court is now quite large. If the House of Commons fails to do so and gets angry, it will be a huge loss for me."
"It's best to find someone to help me guard the house and catch some fish..." Li Ming thought about it, and the figure in his mind gradually settled on him - Anduin.
……
"Is this okay?"
Somewhere in the deserted star field, Levine Baker looked at the scene in front of him suspiciously.
In the starry sky in front of you, a giant triangular metal frame is intertwined and surrounded by each other. The material is cold and hard, reflecting the lights of the surrounding ships.
There are a large number of special symbols engraved on it, with strange shapes and twisted lines, which seem to be some kind of mysterious spell.
If you look carefully, you will find members of the Holy Mother Cult wearing black veils sitting cross-legged at regular intervals on the metal frame.
Their figures were dignified, with the black veil swaying slightly, covering their faces. They looked particularly small against the metal frame, but they exuded a solemn atmosphere that could not be ignored.
The posture of sitting cross-legged is neat and uniform, with hands gently placed on the knees, as if entering a deep state of meditation. The silent statues are integrated with the metal frame.
The one in the center is the prophet, who seems to have entered a meditative state at this moment.
It took him nearly half a year to create what he called the "Crown of Meditation."
As a master craftsman, Levine Baker made great efforts.
"This can indeed amplify mental power, but just by amplifying mental power, it is impossible to lock the life form itself in the information state." Levon Baker said with suspicion.
As a builder, he clearly understands that the role of the Crown of Meditation is to use rune technology to connect the spiritual bodies of so many people and achieve an instant amplification effect. "You just need to watch..." The Virgin shook her head, her face expressionless, her posture graceful, her six palms overlapping, in stark contrast to the ugly and ferocious Levin Baker beside her.
Levon Baker frowned slightly, but didn't speak.
Hum--
The instrument started, the metal frame slowly rotated, and the runes gradually became highlighted.
Xingyu was silent, but Levinbeck felt that there was some kind of ancient chanting sound in his ears.
Spiritual radiation... Levin Baylor squinted his eyes, the huge spiritual flow had begun to passively affect reality.
In front of the prophet, a silver badge was suspended.
As time passed, the metal frame rotated faster and faster, the chanting in the ears became clearer and clearer, and the surrounding void showed a rippling pattern like water waves.
"The effect is actually so strong?" Levon Baker was secretly surprised. Just the spontaneous flow of spirit can already shake reality.
He had never seen this kind of instrument before. It was specially developed by the Marist Church, and the specific effect was difficult to predict.
Silently, a majestic and ancient aura echoed, the prophet's eyes turned silver-white, and spiritual currents rippled around him. They seemed to be attracted by some mysterious force, and they became one almost instantly.
Then, Levon Baker felt dizzy and looked horrified. The stars in front of him seemed to have turned into a scroll, everything was distorted, and various bizarre scenes emerged.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He even saw his past.
"Spiritual resonance... this..." He retreated subconsciously, but was not imprisoned. He quickly left the scope of influence, and his eyes gradually returned to normal.
"This mental strength has almost surpassed that of an X-level life form..." Levon Baker secretly exclaimed. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Marist Cult has sufficient foundation.
Although it only lasts for a moment, if it is used as an attack, probably not many people in the entire galaxy can stop it.
boom!
The core area has been completely shrouded in hazy light, and fragments of various scenes are echoing in it. Even though he has left that area, he still sees many scenes from the past——
Follow the scenes of his teacher's studies and explore the scenes of experiments...
Suddenly, all the images merged into one, condensed like a storm, and seemed to penetrate the stars in an instant, but without any impact on the space.
Silently, the metal frame began to slowly disintegrate, disintegrating into a stream of particles. Even the members of the Holy Mother Cult above were not spared.
"It's actually a one-time thing, and the backlash is so strong. Does this violate the rules of the universe?" Levine Baker was even more surprised.
In the core area, the prophet's body was swaying, his face was pale, and his face implied surprise.
All the clothes on his body have disappeared, and his skin is smooth, white, and uneven, without even a single hair. It looks like some kind of jade.
But the three X-level life forms in the field were all experienced and didn't care at all.
Levine Baker rushed over immediately and couldn't wait to ask: "Have you found it?"
"Found it." A weak mental wave came from the prophet, the black veil floated behind itself, and the Virgin floated over, popping air bubbles and covering the three of them.
"Actually...really alive." Levon Baker's face was dazed for a moment. Even though he was 99% sure that the blue dragon and the forging hammer were equal, he was still a little unsure.
And this uncertainty is gradually being erased.
The prophet's eyes were full of surprise and scrutiny, "It turns out that Qinglong is the forging hammer, and you are Levin Baker!"
"Qinglong is a master forging hammers?" Our Lady looked stunned, but couldn't help but nod: "In this way, it makes sense. A dead master craftsman naturally does not need any resources to cultivate."
"And during his lifetime, I'm afraid he didn't know how many resources he had hidden in secret, let alone having any contact with the stars."
Levon Baker's expression calmed down. Since the other party really had the means to lock the target location through the information state, it was normal to discover their identity.
When he was about to speak, he saw the Virgin staring at him and hesitated: "But, who is Levin Baker?"
Levinbeck's cheek twitched, why did he hear this damn question again.
Along with this damn question, there was also a series of conversations that caused him to have a stress reaction.
The prophet explained: "Levin Baker is a student of Forging Hammer, a student who was killed by Forging Hammer himself."
"Oh." The Virgin looked stunned, "It turns out it's him..."
Levine Baker deadpanned.
The Holy Mother looked at the alchemist baron up and down with strange eyes: "It's really interesting. They say you died at the hands of the forging hammer, and the forging hammer died at the hands of the empire, but neither of you died."
Levinbeck asked indifferently: "Where is he?"
The prophet took a deep breath and seemed to be adjusting his condition. He did not speak for the first time. In Levin Baker's questioning eyes, he weakly said after a moment: "Red River Star Stream..."
"Red River Star Stream? Where is it hidden? No wonder I can't find it..." Levon Baker said with a bit of surprise and suspicion, "But the Red River Star Stream is too big?"
"I have accurate coordinates, and the specific range is near the star core." the prophet added.
"Star core?" Levon Baker frowned. The Red River Star Stream is divided into three areas. The outer area is the least dangerous place. Occasionally, there will be violent currents flowing through it. It is also a holy place for adventurers.
The torrent area is covered by torrents all year round, and there are large areas of time and space distortion. Even X-level life forms may not be able to pass through safely.
Then, there is the most dangerous star core zone, where there is no conventional concept of time and space. One meter forward may be two meters back.
Sometimes, they disappear without even realizing what happened. This is the most dangerous place.
"How can he communicate with the outside world when he is hiding in the star core area?" Levon Baker was puzzled. "Qinglong has many times controlled mechas and mechanical battles."
The prophet couldn't help but explain: "What I am looking for is the place where the information state remains the most. He may not be here now, but that place must be his home base."
"That's it..." Levinbeck nodded, and the Holy Mother came over, "Get ready, we will set off soon."
"You still want to go?" Levon Baker was surprised. The determination of the Holy Mother Cult was stronger than he thought. It was in the star core area.
The Prophet and the Holy Mother looked at each other. They had a reason to go. The Oath-Keeping Stone had fallen into Qinglong's hands, and it was very important.
Even if they can't get it back this time, Qinglong must understand that they are not easy to bully.
"Don't you go and see your teacher?" Our Lady looked faintly.
Levine Baker's face changed, but his eyes gradually became firmer, "Go, of course you want to go!"
