Chapter 329 The Politely Spoken Night Lord
There was no sound on the bridge of the Cursed Echo, only the mutterings of the wanton and powerful ship itself echoing in the sea of souls were heard by its navigator known.
But Octavia is now very skilled at soothing this ship. Although it is very powerful, it is also very difficult for a navigator who can understand the mood and words of every ship he has guided. So coaxed, she sent some messages to the Cursed Echo through their link, telling it that it did a very good job of maintaining its new name and code, even professionals like the Imperial Navy didn't see it, so it When you go back, you can get more pure promethium - the kind from the oil depot of the Coronation.
The cursed echo responded to her happily. In the navigator's sense, its metallic flesh not only disguised the outer skin, making it look like it imitated the Star Maiden who had visited here before. In addition to the round and bulky appearance of the No. 1 merchant ship, these strange subspace metal creations also spread and continued to "cover" its original keel, placing a row of "cartilage" loaded with camouflage codes in front.
Oh. She thought that although Star Maiden was indeed a peaceful and gentle ship, and it would not be very pleasant to revisit the place where she was robbed, but living in this galaxy, human beings must always look forward.
(Note: Star Girl is the name of the ship that piloted Octavia in the Empire before she was kidnapped by Talos)

“Oh, that’s right, here is Captain Conrad Carosini of the Star of Bethlehem, we greet you from the Carosini Dynasty, Imperial Navy."
(From the Primarch's hands with great dissatisfaction.) It jumped onto the shoulder armor of everyone in the First Claw next to it, and walked back and forth with a nervous but dexterous pace, its flesh pads stepping on the surface of the midnight lords' ceramite armor,)
"This is the patrol team of the Baka Fleet in the Far Eastern Star Region of the Imperial Navy. I am Captain Sulu. The Carosini Dynasty, with all due respect, Your Excellency, I have not heard of it."
"Perhaps you can take a look at the registration information for that part of the Hazy Star Territory?"
The other party paused for a while. Then the captain's voice sounded again, and his suspicion obviously faded a lot, and his respect increased a lot.
“Oh yes, the ancient Carosini Dynasty, a charter issued by the Holy and Exalted Throne Himself! Please forgive me, because it has only just been mentioned again recently. What a noble inheritance. ! But with all due respect, Your Majesty, the Hazy Star Territory is really far away from here. May I ask what your purpose is here?”
“We are just businessmen, so our purpose is to mine and collect here. Ore, I must state that I have first discovery rights over the mineral deposits and therefore a natural claim to it and all the profits arising therefrom, and to the best of my knowledge we have not violated any boundary rules. Or the law. - As for the keel code, we actually overhauled the ship for this voyage, and this ship was also new to the port, so its keel code had not yet been added to the latest imperial ship identification code list. It's beautiful, isn't it? "
"That's right. But you'd better update it quickly. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am." The commander on the other side was obviously confused by this casual and charming tone. He was stunned for a moment, then asked, "So where is your loyalty code?"
"Ah, maybe it was an operational error. One of the servitor transmission nodes did have a problem recently." People on the bridge saw their King of Night waving to his black-and-white summoned beast, and then one person (?) After a few moments of flirting, the cat (?) reluctantly jumped back into the Eighth Primarch's lap with a stinky face. He put his hand on the cat's back and walked away slightly. , and then continued, "Well... it has been debugged now, and the loyalty code will be sent to you in 10 standard seconds."
A series of codes were typed out and sent to the communication lady. , the technical officer waved her ten fully mechanized fingers with a little well-hidden surprise, quickly programmed them and sent them out.
After a few rounds of polite exchanges and business flattery, and some haggling behind a smile, he promised that the captain's fleet and the world would have priority in purchasing three percent of the adamantine ore. After that, the shocked First Claws watched the Imperial Navy patrol fleet sail away from here without firing a shot. The captain even sent them a string of friendly farewell codes.
"Look, Talos, this is the world of adults. Words are also sharp claws." Half-jokingly, Lamizane turned his attention to the next group of people, starting from the largest core part of the earth. The broken pieces of high-purity fine gold began to recover the mechanical catching net working in space. "We should hurry up and work. Adamantite ore will always be a scarce hard currency here."
————————
Indeed.
So it is natural that the mining team that collects such high-purity gold ore will be targeted.
Obviously, cunning plunderers have been lurking further here for a long time. The rich fine gold here is like attractive fragrant flowers, and these pirates are like poisonous snakes breeding beside the fragrant flowers.
When they thought that the patrolling Imperial Navy had gone far away, and the cargo hold of the Cursed Echo (this chubby-looking merchant cargo ship) was heavily filled with adamantine ore and would be unable to move, suddenly The ground launched an attack on this ordinary and inconvenient "mining merchant ship".
At this time, Talos was on duty on the bridge, and the Night Lord claimed that he wanted to "change into pajamas and have a good sleep." Although they still didn't understand the cause and effect, the Night Lords kept it in mind and began to look for opportunities to imitate the original For example, they all secretly used various methods to get some daily clothes from their cousins in the Origin Chapter for sleeping time - although in fact they slept very little, and since the original body taught Markarian After meeting Talos and throwing Aeneas and Ptolemion on the surface to work, he seemed to be becoming more and more lazy. Only his summoned beast, the black and white cat, would still appear everywhere silently and try to Take a bite out of their Eldar captives.
So Talos Valkoran is now silently reciting the teachings of the Primarch, and for the first time in hundreds of years, he calmly talks to the ship on the other side, which arrogantly said that he wanted to capture all of them and their cargo, for about five years, as politely as possible. minute.
It wasn’t until the other party began to mock his politeness and fired the weapon first, that he realized that all his weapon arrays could only cause slight ripples on the ship’s ancient void shield. There may be something wrong -
The last words Talos told them with a cold smile were, "My Lord told us to speak politely, so please, before you are crushed and burned by us Cry, tremble and fear as much as possible, we will try our best to leave no trace of you in this universe from body to soul. Tonight we have come for you."
Curse Echo. The first shot of the light spear overloaded the pirate ship's void shield amidst the opponent's frightened begging for mercy.
Having not hunted for a long time, it happily hovered in the void, as fast as a carnivorous beast with cruel grace.
Each shot is like a bite, accurately hitting key points, subspace engine rooms, reactor arrays, fuel depots, etc.
Finally, when Lamizane was sleeping soundly, under the satisfied gaze of the black and white cat on the bridge, they successfully placed a huge firework in the nearby dark sky.
