Chapter 153: Set Sail

The port of Snow White was originally called Albatross Harbor, and even after it was rebuilt by Master Patra, it still retains this name as a symbol of freedom. The harbor is 30 meters deep and has a breakwater (ten "Fermat airships" were mobilized to repair it) to allow large ships to enter and exit.

At this time, the flagship of the ghost fleet, the "Lanhui", was slowly entering the port. Captain Pisa leaned against the side of the boat and excitedly raised his hand to shake it at Qingyi, who also smiled and waved in greeting. The huge anchor chain was shaken into the water by the bloodship sailors with a dull "thud". Several nocturnal peregrine falcons flew in, landed on the masts, and began to groom their feathers.

"See you again, Your Majesty!" As soon as the boat docked and the rope ladder was lowered, Pisa jumped down, stood firmly in front of Qingyi, and made a hat salute. He had a strong rum smell on him, but he wasn't drunk at all, and he was still heroic. The folds of his shirt were covered with frost powder, presumably salt crystals left over from the evaporation of seawater. Powder was spilled between his gestures.

"Long time no see." Qingyi also smiled, stepped forward and hugged the pizza, and dipped it in half of the salt powder.

Although Pisa is also a necromantic creature, his soul contract is signed with the Lancang Dragon King, and his contract cannot be changed or transferred, so he will never serve the Necromantic King without reservation or at any cost. As a result, Qingyi appointed Pisa as a marine advisor, a title of honorary nature that would allow Pisa to have certain benefits unique to the Twilight Empire, and also allow Qingyi to get assistance from Pisa when needed. Of course, the more help Qingyi needs, the greater the price to pay, just like when the ghost fleet attacked Lar Haren, Pisa needed Qingyi to complete a mission for free. From this point of view, it is clear that there is an employment between the two parties.

But the Ghost Fleet is not the property of Pisa, but the fireworks. Jiang Huahuo used the blood and bones in his body to forge this navy, and he has absolute ownership and dominance. Although Pisa has a lot of autonomy over the ghost fleet, and there is no need to report to the Lancang Dragon King for ordinary actions, Qingyi always feels that Jiang Huahuo will come to ask for labor fees at some point in the future. If there really is that day, Qingyi will simply sell himself - repeatedly invite hero-level NPCs, how much can you get for this labor fee!

But Qingyi can only do this. Without the famous ghost fleet as a deterrent, Qingyi was not sure that he would not be left behind in the negotiations with the blood elves. Blood elves want to turn their faces? Hehe, there are more than a thousand cannon barrels outside the lair, who dares to turn their faces?! Although this kind of fox and tiger fake tiger power is not very open, the necromantic creatures and blood elves are both good people who don't like to be above board.

"Oh, dear captain!" Schroeder? Bray also hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Pisa happily: "Is your fleet growing again?" ”

"That's right, after obtaining your precious potion, Lord Jiang Huahuo has regained a certain degree of strength, so he can add a new ship. Thanks again for your help! "In the face of Schroeder, Pisa is also very enthusiastic and does not regard the other party as a profiteer at all.

"Hahaha, I'm just doing business, I haven't helped at all!"

"Don't say that, that precious 'Double Experience Potion' is priceless, and if you don't have it here, you really don't know where to start!"

Qingyi listened from the sidelines. It seems that Schroeder has passed through Pisa, and it is logical to catch the line of Jiang fireworks. "Double Experience Potion"? This kind of thing is too disruptive! How much do you have to spend to get it! With this thing, wouldn't Jiang Huahuo's upgrade speed be as fast as riding a rocket?

Sa'er and Steward Jon were also on board. Seeing Uncle Pisa, Su'er, who was not wearing socks and shoes, bowed shyly, and shrank behind Qingyi, like a kitten that had bumped into a living person.

"Come, I'll arrange a room for you." Pizza turned and walked towards the cabin. "Because it is traveling around the south coastline of the mainland, this voyage is relatively long. But don't worry, the Bloodboat sailors are tireless, rowing and maintaining their speed even at night. If you get to Astant, plus the help of ocean currents, well, it will only take half a month to go back and forth. ”

If you level up in the offshore waters of Xinghui Ocean, half a month is enough for Qingyi to upgrade one or two levels, but the alliance relationship is much more important than upgrading. Qingyi flicked his scepter and followed Pisa into the cabin.

The "Lanhui" lifted anchor, left the harbor, and approached its companions at sea.

There is no doubt that the interior of the ghost fleet is also made of blood and bones, not to mention the walls, floors, ceilings, and even any furniture and utensils are made of blood and bones. Blood bone is both strong and lightweight, but its hue is monotonous, and looking at it for too long can make people uncomfortable. The rooms provided to your guests are all first-class single rooms, with a large space (more than a dozen square meters), and blankets, bedding, curtains, and oil lamps are provided, which will satisfy even living creatures (although they will become semi-undead creatures after a long stay). Players can safely go offline here and still appear in the same room when they go online.

Qingyi didn't have any luggage to put (he still had Suo'er and the manager's luggage in his storage bag), and after getting the portkey, he went back to the deck. There was a sailor mopping the floor on the deck, and when he saw Qingyi, he hurriedly saluted him. There is a steering wheel on the foredeck, which is not operated at this time, but it still turns from time to time, which looks a little weird. But Qingyi knew that the main body of the "Lanhui" was a super-level demonic beast, a blood-bone man-eating pomfret, not a dead thing; It has a wealth of knowledge about the oceans, and can recognize ocean currents and choose its own direction even when unmanned. The rotation of the steering wheel is probably what it does.

The "Lanhui" is a three-masted sailing ship, the main mast (of course, also made of blood and bone) is two meters in diameter and more than ten meters high, and the canvas is retracted. Qingyi had been on it once, so he clearly remembered that the sail was tattered, and he didn't know how long it hadn't been washed. With the fog and clouds, as long as the ghost fleet opens its sails, the atmosphere of the horror movie is all out.

Sa'er had a good time on the deck, but after a while she began to get seasick and her face turned blue. She's not a purebred necromancer, and there's no way to avoid the natural physiological reaction of "vomiting." Steward Jon hurriedly took her back to her room and took care of her every step of the way.

Qingyi came to the back deck alone, propping up the side of the ship with his elbows. The port of albatross was far behind the rudder, obscured by the fog. These fogs, which are made up of water elements mixed with dead air, are effective in concealing ships and are effective in confusing enemies.

"Hey, Xue Duo." He called suddenly.

The shadow replied, "What's the matter, host?" ”

"There is a crucial link between the theft of the Embryo Body II and the loss of control of Frangi. The most important thing it reveals is 'internal crime'. If you weren't familiar with the 'City of Waiting', you would never have put your mind on the embryo. ”

"In the first case, the suspect was Fermat. From beginning to end, he was the only one who came out of the workshop, and he was the only one who 'saw a tall and thin figure with his own eyes'. If he fabricated the facts, then the so-called thief was himself. But what about his motives? Can I do such a ridiculous thing just because I reprimand a few words? No, not Fermat. Losing Embryo Body II didn't do him any good, and he's not one to lie without blinking. It must have been done by someone else...... Another person who seems to have an alibi! ”

"In the second case, the suspect is Brian. However, this is only for the alibi, but there is no motive - what reason does he have to hurt Frankie and Umu? He's only just joined the City of Waiting, and he hasn't had anything to do with anyone else. ”

"The two cases don't seem to be related, but it's so interesting."

Xue Duo muttered, "I don't see anything 'interesting' at all!" ”

"Both cases happened after the meeting, so to speak, the meeting was one of them, no, it could have been the trigger for these two cases. Recalling what was at the meeting, I narrowed it down to Wumu. I speculate that the attack on Wumu was premeditated. Wumu touches the interests of some people, or endangers the safety of some people. If someone is afraid that their privacy will be exposed during ghost surveillance, they can raise an objection at the meeting, and they will not take such drastic measures, not to mention that necromantic creatures have no privacy at all. Who would be a thief so weak that he would not dare to accept surveillance? ”

"Schroeder? Blackwood? Xue Duo asked.

"No, that guy doesn't need to be afraid of any surveillance when he's alone, because he has both strength and capital. His methods have always been very open, that is, to blackmail you with money in front of you. Therefore, it can be inferred that he did this because he had to worry not only about himself, but also because he had to be on the same side as himβ€”he had accomplices. In order to safely connect and communicate with his accomplices, he must destroy my surveillance system. There is no doubt that his accomplices are traitors, and probably more than one! This reinforces the suspicion I just mentioned: because the suspects do not coincide, the two cases appear to be unrelated...... But what if the other side is a gang? In the two cases, the enemies of the gang committed their own crimes? This makes sense. ”

"Although the external problems are serious, the internal problems are really fatal. How many large groups and large enterprises are ...... No, let's use game events to illustrate it...... Many Necromantic Empires have risen up, but they have not been defeated by their enemies, but by themselves. Political structures based on absolute power are incomparably fragile, and once exerted with a little more force, they can be dominoes...... Bang la la la la All down. ”

Qingyi shrugged.

"To treat the enemy, you only need to play 'evil', but when you treat your own people, you must express 'good'. It's not a general problem, because I don't know what 'good' is. A long time ago, someone taught me all kinds of 'goodness' that kings must have, but now, I can only figure it out on my own. ”

Xue Duo interjected, "Host, your change is due to Robert. After Robert dissipated, you became more and more like a necromantic king, but also more and more unapproachable. ”

"I'm reluctant to do it. After the old immortal left, the 'evil' in my body continued to surge, and there was no way to control it. Qingyi looked up in distress and dazedness, his eyes out of focus. I was suspicious of everyone and didn't trust them anymore. I was also in pain. I tried to convince myself that they were your subordinates! But it didn't work. It's useless at all. I always felt like I was making a fool of myself. ”

"You're dangerous, host."

"That's right, I'm dangerous. You are the one who knows me best. Qingyi closed his eyes and said with a smile: "Xue Duo, you will also betray me, one day in the future." ”

Xue Duo was silent for a while, and said, "I don't dare to promise the future, but before betraying, I will accompany you as much as possible." ”

"That's enough for you, thank you very much. Okay, that's the end of the weakness of the June sun......" Qingyi stood up straight, and turned back into the fearless and unscrupulous white bone tyrant, his eyes burning with a thick blue. "There's still a long way to go, and we're not going to stop there."

"Is there a road ahead?"

"Hahaha! Of course, when we cast our eyes ahead, that is a road – a path waiting for us to blaze a trail! ”
