Chapter 194 Intertwined Contradictions
"Serad has no clue yet?" Sandro couldn't help but ask.
"He deliberately hid it. The land of stars is not orderly and civilized." Theo shook his head.
"Your vigilance is too low, such an important thing would be stolen by a B-class life form." Sandro couldn't help but shake his head.
Theo remained silent, as if he was too lazy to explain.
Li Ming was thoughtful. It seemed that he was overthinking it. Serad had not confirmed his death yet, and his first target was still him.
Ulrich sighed: "The Star King has been missing for more than forty years, and the land of stars cannot be saved after all."
Sandro said casually, "Are you too much? It’s pessimistic. The Silver Star Cluster, the Lasos Star Cluster, the Pearl Star Cluster, and the nearby star clusters are not organizing a joint fleet for the first time.” Honghe Xingliu, just hiding for a while.”
With Sabo, an old guy who had followed the Star King, Li Ming’s understanding of the Land of Stars was no longer superficial.
In the Land of Stars now, the number of floating islands is far lower than at its peak. Many of them were shattered because they penetrated deep into the Red River Star Current during the encirclement and suppression.
Ulrich sneered, "If the United Fleet is purely for the Torch Organization and wipes out the land of stars, then there is no need to worry."
"Isn't it?" Sandro frown.
“It can only be said that there is a part of the reason.” Ulrich was quite annoyed: “A larger part of the reason is because of the civilizational remains of the sublimated people.”
Ulrich Not stupid, Li Ming mused secretly, Theo seemed to understand, only Sandro seemed to be enlightened, and then said: "You mean, the combined fleet will not leave easily this time?"
< br>
"That's right." Theo added, "They will definitely not leave easily, that's why they clean up the silver star cluster so carefully."
"I don't know how long I will stay this time, and I don't know what kind of explosion will happen. A battle on a massive scale."
"They found a way to get in?" Sandro wondered, "Isn't there genetic verification of the civilization relics?"
"Why do you think the Torch Organization is looking for it? Great Mechanic?" Ulrich was quite helpless.
Sandro frowned. Although he knew about this, he didn't think too much about it: "The Torch Organization should be making some kind of equipment. That equipment is the key to entering the ruins of the Ascendants?"< br>
"Yes, you finally have some brains." Ulrich sighed, Sandro glared at him and snorted coldly.
"I underestimated the Torch Organization. I thought they were looking for mechanics just to make some kind of powerful and destructive weapon. They are really capable."
"And the Torch Organization It has little to do with it." Theo shook his head, "The Torch Organization attacked Asmara a few months ago, and one of its laboratories should have snatched key technology from it."
"Ah. Smara? The princess of Etland?" Sandro's eyes seemed a little frightened, "I remember, she seemed to have gone in?"
"Yes, seven or eight years ago, there was an unprecedented explosion of Red River Star Falls. , spitting out the ruins of an Ascendant civilization," Ulrich recalled:
"Asmara and her men were the first ones to discover it. At that time, they caused an uproar in the land of stars, causing great chaos and causing countless casualties."
"They didn't know what method they used. Entered, but should not be able to reappear, interstellar treasures, crystallization of civilization..." Ulrich's eyes glowed, and then he said sadly:
"Unfortunately, the main race of the Ascendants has been massacred by the Star Abyss Empire. It is completely exhausted, and it is no longer possible to enter it through normal means. "
"It will cost a huge amount to crack, and it is destined to be missed by people like us. All major advanced civilizations are robbing it."
Hearing this, Li Ming couldn't help but think of the [Tan Luo Meng Biological Sublimator] that ate dust in the control page. Others couldn't, but he could.
"Where are the ruins of civilization?" He suddenly asked, attracting the attention of the three people.
Ulrich didn't hide anything either: "We don't know the specific location in the Red River Star Stream. It is said that Princess Asmara has a special way to find it."
"How? , are you interested?”
“Your Excellency also said that the interstellar treasure is the crystallization of civilization, who can ignore it?” Li Ming said calmly.
"That's right." Ulrich thought deeply, and said with a bit of heartache, "Eight years ago, a man named Wu Yanqing came to me with a piece of tattered armor to sell for money. I actually I didn’t see it, but it was taken from the ruins of the Ascended One.”
Lao Wu? Li Ming looked strange.
Ulrich couldn't help but said: "Your Excellency Qinglong should know this person. He was another teacher of your student. He was only a C-level life form at the time."
It can make Ulrich It's really painful to remember it for so long.
Li Ming's heart moved slightly and said: "You should be talking about the Fellows Warrior-level armor, right?"
Ulrich was confused for a moment and straightened his body.
Li Ming continued, "I have indeed seen it. To be more precise, I have seen photos. They are very badly damaged and only a small part is left. It is normal for you to make mistakes."
Even the name is missing. Know?
Ulrich was quite surprised that almost all relevant information about the Ascended Civilization was lost in the history of the interstellar world, and there were not many records even on the black hole network.
Qinglong can actually name it directly, and seems to know the ruins of the Ascended One quite well.
"Then what level of armor is it specifically?" He couldn't help but ask.
Li Ming muttered: "If it can be repaired, it should be Class A armor."
Ulrich's slender red fingers clenched and then released, sighed deeply, shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's all over."
"This matter will definitely not end easily. I even suspect that the Judge Civilization deliberately sent four B-level life forms to die."
"After they die, there will be reason to send troops openly and even compete with Etlan's combined fleet."
This guess is really wild, but it is not impossible, Li Ming thought.
"Whatever, the stars in this Red River are boundless and there is always a place for us." Sandro always seemed careless. This is the confidence of an A-level life form.
“There have been a lot more spies in the Land of Stars recently.” Theo suddenly mentioned this matter. His people had unexpected gains while searching for Serad.
“Coming from various civilizations and forces, the targets are very mixed, but some of them are aimed at Lord Qinglong.”
The eyes of the three people gathered together again, Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, “Oh? ”
“It’s best to be careful during this time”
"Thank you for reminding me." Li Ming was not sure what Theo wanted to do.
After chatting for a while, Li Ming was not interested in staying any longer, so he got up and left.
After the door closed, Theo was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "I am going to ask the Torch Organization for help."
Ulrich's expression condensed slightly, "The Torch Organization?"
< br>Theo nodded, "Yes, this is the only way I can think of. Many dimensional creatures have unpredictable powers, and it may be possible to determine Serad's location."
"Then what price do you have to pay?" Ulrich frowned.
Theo glanced at him, "At this critical moment, I need to do them a favor."
"What favor?" Ulrich asked.
“It’s not yet time.” Theo shook his head.
Sandro suddenly said: "Ulrich, according to you, this great mechanic is full of troubles, why are you still holding on to him?" "Just to repair that for you. One or two things?”
Ulrich's train of thought was interrupted and he said impatiently: "It has nothing to do with you."
Sandro snorted coldly: "There are constraints everywhere, so it is better to kill him directly."< br>
Theo frowned and said: "How can a great mechanic kill at will?"
Ulrich shook his head, feeling irritated.
...
Li Ming left the banquet and was sent back by Huo Tan. When he returned to the studio, after making sure that no one was around, he glanced at the smart terminal out of habit.
I discovered that Ford had tried to contact him a few hours ago. After thinking for a moment, he called back.
The waiting time was a bit long this time, and he was ready to kill the virtual screen before Fred's voice sounded.
"Sorry, I just returned to the room. I was in a meeting just now." Ford explained simply, without chatting with him, and went straight to the topic: "Let me ask you something, Serad and the Judge are very civilized. Do you know about the death of the action team?”
It turns out you were asking about this, so you’ve asked the right person.
Li Ming did not respond immediately, but asked: "Why are you asking about them?"
"A few days ago, the Judge Civilization submitted an application to the United Fleet, saying that someone among them died in The Land of Stars hopes to participate in the siege of the Power of Stars!” Ford cursed:
“These one-eyed people show their bad intentions and want a share of the pie. The Land of Stars is too chaotic. Our people still don’t have accurate information.”
“I want to ask what happened. Your Qinglong teacher should know.”
Li Ming pondered. Seeing his appearance, Ford's face fell. "Brother, we are on our own, so don't even think about trying to trick me."
"No." Li Ming said. Ming smiled, "Four B-level life forms of the Judge Civilization died this time, and they were killed by Serad."
"Really dead..." Ford was a little surprised, "That Serad De Dao is really powerful. He seems to have stolen Hui Tong's things, do you know?"
"I know." Fu De nodded with expectation, looking at the smiling face on the screen. With a stern expression on his face, he sighed, "What do you want?"
"I want to know where the ruins of civilization are?" Li Ming asked.
"Do you want to know? Or does your teacher want to know?" Ford asked subconsciously.
"Guess."
Ford didn't respond at first, his eyes bulged, and suddenly he deliberately lowered his voice: "Your teacher doesn't have a way to get in, does he?"
Li Ming showed a confused smile, "Guess."
I guess you... Ford almost wanted to vomit blood and looked hesitant.
"I can guarantee that this news is worth every penny. You will never imagine what Theo has lost." Li Ming added.
Ford glanced at Li Ming. Although this guy was very sinister, he still had credibility.
He hesitated, "I don't know the specific location. The Red River Star Stream is too chaotic. I only know that Asmara seems to have left some means to locate it."
"But it can only be found during the tidal period of the Red River Star Stream."
Li Ming suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there were no troops stationed in Etlan. The Red River Star Stream was extremely chaotic, and the magnetic field storm was almost non-stop.
The interference is already serious in the meteorite belt nearby, let alone inside.
"Then I owe you this news first. I hope you won't hide it when you learn the specific news." Li Ming stared at him and didn't say anything threatening.
Ford hesitated, then nodded, "I will tell you."
Li Ming then said leisurely: "The thing Gray Tong threw is called [Flower of Casablan]"
It’s not that he trusts Fred much, but that this kind of information is very timely. If you don’t throw it out now, it will be worthless after a while.
Ford's pupils suddenly shrank and he lost his voice: "What Casablan said, is he planning to become an S-class life form?"
"My teacher's inference is this."
" How is it possible, he, where did he get it?" Ford couldn't help but ask.
"Star Abyss Empire."
Ford froze in place, and then couldn't help but suddenly realized, "It's actually the Star Abyss Empire, it should be them, it must be them!"
< br>
"Fuck!" he cursed angrily.
Li Ming grinned, "The people standing behind Asmara and the people who provided Huitong with the [Flower of Casablan] don't seem to be the same faction."
Ford's face was tense, then relaxed: "You have guessed it, it's all about that anyway, thank you for your message, I'll hang up now."
The screen went out, Fred was in a hurry, the metal cabin The door opened horizontally, and there were many soldiers wearing officer uniforms in the corridor.
He headed deeper. Along the way, many people greeted him.
Arriving at the deputy commander's room, the hatch opened and the room fell silent.
The middle-aged man standing in front of the huge deduction sand table turned around, with a majestic expression, frowning, and a strong aura of a superior person. He was his father, the Prince of Baijan.
"Commander, I have urgent information." Ford said bravely.
"Follow me." Prince Baijan said solemnly, leading Fud into the compartment of the command room.
"Li Ming told me that the Judge Civilization did indeed die of four B-level life forms, killed by Serad." Ford said hastily,
Prince Baijiang frowned deeper and said displeased: "Just three minutes before you came in, I also learned this information."
"Is this also called emergency information? Then Li Ming only knew These?"
Faced with his father's rebuke, Ford tensed up and said in a deep voice: "What Serad stole was the Flower of Casablan..."
The words had not yet finished. , Prince Baijan suddenly changed color, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, red arcs spurted out, and the flame of life burned like substance.
With a look of horror on his face, the Prince of Baijan quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure the news is true?"
What Li Ming said personally, coming from his teacher, is 90% true. "Fed said hurriedly, and further said: "The Flower of Casablan comes from the Star Abyss Empire. "
This time, Prince Baijan was not too surprised, "It can be expected that those who have the ability to provide this are definitely not ordinary advanced civilizations. "
"What about us? "Fed asked tentatively.
"As if nothing happened, you have never heard the news. "
"Huh? "Ford was puzzled.
Prince Baijiang did not explain further, and his cold expression softened slightly: "You have done a good job. I can tell you this kind of news at will. I guess that Li Ming trusts you very much. Let him maintain this trust." , He is of great value."
Ford hesitated, feeling bitter in his heart, but looking at the rare tenderness on his father's face, he could only say: "I understand."
