Chapter 196 Li Ming’s initiative, Theo’s confusion, Ulrich’s confusion, everyone has their own agenda
As time went by, Li Ming never came back, and Theo became more and more confused: “Is this the case? Did the guy really run away? "
Even if he left for a short time to do some secret things, he should be back by now.
He could only think of the possibility that the other party had run away, and his face turned ugly: "Ulrich is such a fool, just leaving him here, leaking like a sieve."
Having said that, if the other party is under strict supervision, he will have no chance to take action.
But now, the chance for Torch to help him was gone. Theo was naturally angry, snorted coldly, and disappeared.
……
In the collector’s castle.
"That shipment was intercepted?" Ulrich looked solemnly and looked at Hortan, who came to report.
“Well, there is a magnetic energy storm covering several galaxies in the Posaisi Grand Channel. As a last resort, the transport ships can change the ice flow channel...”
Ulrich's face turned ugly: "Ice flow channel? Isn't that the channel within the Lasos star cluster? The judge civilization will definitely not let it go easily."
"I gave the order a few days ago, Su What's going on with Silo!?"
Hotan was helpless: "There was no way, they were already in the ice flow channel when the order was issued, and the Judge Civilization had already intercepted our people."
"You see?"
Ulrich said coldly: "I have already told them that the man with golden eyes is already in the hands of the Star Alliance, and I don't want to offend either of them."< br>
"Judge Civilization is trying to catch me, damn it!"
"Chen Yao Alloy is extremely rare. If this batch of goods is not delivered, I don't know if the material is enough." Ulrich hesitated. .
"The laboratory has been almost set up, and all the materials have been put in place. There is no need to prepare it thoroughly before we invite the Qinglong Grand Mechanic to come?" Hotan said cautiously: "Why don't we let him come first? He made preliminary preparations?"
Ulrich remained silent. Of course, there was no need to prepare. If he asked the guy to come, he could even force him to come.
But mechanical repair is a high-precision job. He can force the other party to come, but he cannot force the other party to work.
Moreover, the current situation is different from what he expected at the time. This Qinglong is too mysterious.
Originally, he thought that this person was just a great mechanic who accidentally came to the land of stars, and he was quite excited.
Later it was determined that this man was an exiled great mechanic who had numerous troubles and various techniques that he had never heard of. He was so mysterious that he was frightened, which caused him to gradually hesitate.
If you get too involved with him, how should you explain it if some powerful life form comes to your door?
And this guy is quite arrogant and has no fear of him. In the past few confrontations, he was mostly at a disadvantage.
It was completely different from the other person's behavior when he first came into contact with him, which made him feel uneasy.
During this period, he even had a vague suspicion that this Qinglong had learned from somewhere that he possessed a [Material Recombination Maker], so he deliberately contacted him.
The combination of various factors caused him to have many worries and deliberately delayed time. However, the crisis of the United Fleet was approaching step by step, leaving him in a dilemma.
"Master, are you worried?" Hortan has followed Ulrich for many years, and he has also seen some clues during this time.
Ulrich frowned.
Huo Tan whispered: "Master, you have thought too much. No matter what, you are an A-level life form. When you follow Lord Star King or when you monopolize the land of stars, dangers always follow you."
Ulrich is sometimes too cautious and thinks too much, and instead looks forward and backward.
"Your Excellency Qinglong, after all, he is only a B-class life form, and he still needs to rely on you."
"Perhaps there were a few times when you were worried about other aspects and could only retreat, but he is repairing He has never refused when it comes to items."
Ulrich was silent, and then said sadly, "Yes, I have lived a comfortable life for too long, and even Sandro is not as good as him."
< br>
A sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Let's go, I hope he knows things better."
Ulrich seemed to have thought clearly, Hortan nodded and followed.
As soon as he left the hall, the Collector's eyes moved slightly. He looked up and saw Theo's figure falling from the sky.
He didn't like people flying around. Ulrich frowned slightly, but quickly restrained himself, "Are you going out?"
"Well, my subordinates reported that there was a obstruction. "Lade's clue, I went out to take a look." Theo responded simply, his face not looking good.
"How do you say it?" Ulrich became interested.
“It’s of no use.” Theo was vague and said a few perfunctory words before going back.
However, when I passed Ulrich, I suddenly thought of something, "Are you going out?"
"Well, there are some urgent matters that need to be dealt with. "Ulrich also spoke very vaguely.
Theo's gray pupils flickered with silver light, and he said: "Can you take me to meet Qinglong?"
Ulrich's eyes flashed sharply, "You want to see him?"
"I want to build another A-level weapon and ask his opinion." Theo's reason was very good.
Ulrich hesitated, his tail swung behind him, and after a moment he said: "He is on that floating island. You can go there at any time without asking me."
Tai Austria shook his head: "After all, he is the one under your control, so it's better to go through you."
Ulrich's face softened and he thought about it: "I happen to be going to find him too, let's go together."
Theo looked a little surprised, and the two of them followed Ulrich onto the aircraft in a tacit agreement without mentioning the perfunctory exchange just now.
"The Collector knows him better and should be able to determine whether the other party has escaped or not." Theo was still unwilling to give in.
On the edge of the floating island, at a small dock, a group of people got off the aircraft.
Ulrich always landed from the dock of the floating island and walked there, but never landed directly in the center of the floating island.
Halfway through, Ulrich frowned slightly. The instinct of an advanced life form made him feel that something was not right.
Stopping and looking around, metal scraps were piled everywhere, the floating island had turned into a garbage dump, and several rooms could be vaguely seen among the metal debris.
"What's wrong?" Theo stopped and asked, looking confused.
"It's nothing, I just have a strange feeling." Ulrich shook his head, not knowing where that feeling came from.
Until he arrived at Li Ming's studio, Huo Tan went to knock on the door, and then stood to one side.
Theo thought in his mind that Ulrich had always thought that this person was under his control. It would be hard to imagine that the other person could come and go freely here.
I hope that the other party has not left the Land of Stars. When Ulrich is angry, he will definitely block his territory. If he has not left, there may be a chance.
But Theo didn't have any expectations. The other party had disappeared for more than ten hours and had probably left completely.
After a while, the door opened, and Li Ming poked his head out, seemingly surprised, "Your Excellency, Collector?"
Ulrich nodded slightly, but felt inexplicably, Everything is normal, but it seems not normal.
Theo's pupils, who were standing behind, suddenly shrank. He looked at Li Ming who opened the door and walked out in disbelief, feeling a turmoil in his heart.
He is back! ?
When did you come back? He just left and he came back? Such a coincidence?
Theo couldn't understand that it wouldn't take him long to return to the floating island from here. Although he deliberately made a circle to cover up the traces of his flight, it only took about ten or twenty minutes.
He spent nearly ten hours here without waiting for this guy. As a result, during the time when he was flying back, he came back?
Theo didn't believe it. Of course, there was another guess that made him even more incredible, that is, the other party had been staying in the room the whole time, but he didn't notice it.
But this is almost impossible.
Various thoughts were intertwined in his mind, and he could not draw a specific conclusion.
"Your Excellency Theo is here too?" Li Ming glanced at Theo behind him and sounded surprised.
After all, the A-level life form has calmed down for a moment and nodded slightly.
"You two, please come in." Li Ming turned sideways, and there was no clue. He was holding a spray gun in one hand and a welding gun in the other.
After Theo came in, he felt an increasing urge to vomit blood. He had been here for ten hours before and was tired of seeing it.
Li Ming seemed to be repairing the light golden armor, which made Theo feel confused. Did he really come here before?
Ulrich frowned slightly, what is going on here...
The feeling that something was wrong in his heart became more and more serious. He looked around, but he couldn't say anything.
"I'm sorry, this is a studio, there is no place to sit, sorry." Li Ming said embarrassedly, put down the spray gun in his hand, and before the two of them could speak, he took the lead and said:
"Collector Sir, I was about to find you, but I didn’t expect you to come first.”
“Looking for me?” Ulrich was surprised and swallowed what he wanted to say.
"Yeah..." Li Ming frowned, "I don't know why, but I've been having a bad premonition in my heart for the past two days. I always feel like someone is going to do something to me."
< br>"So, can I move to your castle? It will be convenient for my restoration work..."
Ulrich's face was full of astonishment. Before he could say anything, Li Ming asked to move over?
Theo was here, Li Ming couldn't explain clearly, but Ulrich understood that what the other party was talking about was the work of repairing the [Material Recombination Maker].
He originally thought of many words, but in the end he didn't say a word.
Although it met his expectations, he was not happy at all.
Asking proactively means that the other party is not afraid.
Ulrich knew that there was one thing that he had always tacitly understood with the other party, and that was where the great mechanic would go after repairing the [Material Recombination Maker].
This thing is Ulrich’s biggest secret, and he doesn’t want more people to know about it.
Killing is the best choice.
He believed that the other party must have thought about it, but he was still so proactive. Could it be that...
Ulrich had various speculations and shook his head secretly. He had committed the old habit again, so he would let it go when the time came. With surveillance cameras placed everywhere under his nose, he didn't believe what kind of trouble the other party could cause.
Theo was extremely suspicious. He looked at Li Ming and took the initiative to move to the castle?
With Ulrich here, he couldn't do anything at will, but this was too sudden.
Because of a bad premonition?
This reason sounds a bit ridiculous. Could it be that someone has been to his studio?
Theo was unpredictable, and this feeling of being unable to figure it out made him very uncomfortable.
The three of them had evil intentions. Li Ming remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he had scolded Theo eight hundred times.
This guy didn’t know what was going on to deal with him. He was not afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid that thieves would miss him.
Li Ming often plays the role of a thief, so he naturally understands the truth and is ready to find a safer place.
As for Star King's body repair work, Li Ming doesn't care. He has been paralyzed for so many years, and it doesn't matter if he is paralyzed for a while. Nothing is more important than his own safety.
"That's okay..." Ulrich reluctantly said, "Then when are you going to go, and do you want to pack up?"
"There's nothing to deal with, just now." Li Ming said immediately.
Are you more anxious than me?
Just because of the hunch in your heart, you are more cautious than me?
Ulrich was even more puzzled and felt more and more inexplicable, but he could not find a reason to refuse, so he could only ask Li Ming to return with them, and at the same time packed some materials and items, including the pale gold armor, as well as several mechanical bodies.
Along the way, Theo pretended to ask about some A-level weapon information, and Li Ming answered in detail and gave various suggestions.
After returning to the castle, Ulrich still felt strange and asked Hortan to arrange a room for him while he dealt with certain things.
"The guest rooms are on the third floor...the fourth floor is the canteen..." Hortan introduced along the way.
Li Ming interrupted: "Both Sir Theo and Sandro are on the third floor?"
Hotan nodded: "Yes."
"Urli Which floor is Mr. Xi on?" Li Ming asked.
"Seventh floor." Hortan didn't quite understand.
"Is there a room next door to him?"
Hotan was messy and shook his head blankly: "No, the entire floor belongs to Mr. Ulrich."
"What about the sixth floor?" Li Ming asked again.
“The sixth floor is where we people live.” Hotan said.
"Then let's go to the sixth floor. We are all our own people, how can I stay in the guest room?" Li Ming said immediately.
Hotan hesitated to speak, but in the end he just nodded and said: "Okay, I will have someone clean up a room as soon as possible."
"Where is the fifth floor?" Li Ming followed Huotan. When I stepped into the elevator, I found that there was no option for the fifth floor on the elevator page.
"This..." Hortan hesitated, his old face full of embarrassment.
Li Ming said dissatisfied: "We are all our own people, what else can't you tell me?"
One of my own... Huo Tan slandered and explained: "The fifth floor is the studio, and some mechanics work here."
"Oh?" Li Ming's eyes brightened, and he became interested, "Can you bring me with you?" Shall I go take a look?"
Hotan felt a toothache and wanted to ask Ulrich. After making the call, he said, "Please come with me."
The elevator stopped. On the fourth floor, Li Ming followed him to a metal door at the end of the metal corridor. After various tests, a gap was slowly opened with a buzzing sound.
After stepping inside, there is an upward staircase. The floor and walls are all silver-white, with almost no gaps. The smell of metal rust hits your face.
After walking up the stairs, there is an extremely open and large space with a large number of workbenches arranged in a regular pattern. The sound of harsh friction, sparks flying, and noisy discussions are constant, like a large factory.
The heat wave caused by high-temperature smelting is still floating in the air.
"Lord Huotan..." There was a little kid running all the way. He was shorter than the dwarf, only reaching Li Ming's knees. His skin was dark green, his eyes were huge, and his head was bald, like a goblin. Forest.
With a flattering smile on his face, "Why didn't you tell me in advance? Do you have any instructions from the collector?"
"Brown, this is the great mechanic-- Lord Qinglong, I'm here to show him around." Huo Tan pointed at Li Ming.
