Chapter 166 The Way Home
Song Zining glanced at it, and immediately exclaimed, "Void Crystal!"
"Void Crystal?" Qianye remembered that when she first picked up this thing, it was indeed constantly generating Void Force inside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Song Zining took it and looked at it, his eyes lingered on the gap where the prismatic crystal had been filled, and said, "What is it here?"
Qianye briefly talked about his experience of finding the small crystal piece in the castle of the Viscount of Botu and getting the whole crystal in the Black Forest.
Song Zining nodded and said, "I'm not so sure, it's best to ask Nangong Xiaoniao to take a look, she is an expert in this area." ”
Song Zining cleaned up the room slightly, erased some traces that could not be seen by outsiders, and then called in his personal entourage and maids, asked them to settle the sleeping little girl, and invited Nangong Xiaoniao to come over.
Although in Song Zining and Qianye's external statements, Zhu Ji is an orphan picked up from a destroyed Terran settlement during Qianye's safari. But looking at the eyes of those attendants and maids, Song Zining couldn't help but be depressed, even if this excuse sounded very clumsy, why didn't anyone guess that this was a bad thing done by Qianye?
Of course, Chiya was laughing on the side.
A moment later, Nangong Xiaoniao hurried over, and saw Qianye, who had not seen him for a long time, with a flush on his face. Without saying a few words, she saw the things on the table at a glance, and immediately exclaimed, "Void Crystal!
Nangong Xiaoniao pounced on it at once, grabbed the crystal with a dull appearance, looked at it carefully for a while, and then reluctantly put it down.
"What is this thing for?" asked Chiya.
"This is the best power source that can be found so far!" replied Nangong Xiaoniao.
After her detailed explanation, Qianye realized that the Void Crystal was equivalent to a natural node connecting the Void, and under the stimulation of the appropriate Force Circle, it could continuously supply the Void Force and never exhaust. However, this material is not produced in veins or fixed areas, and only appears abruptly in some extreme cases, so it is extremely rare and unavoidable.
The most important use of the Void Crystal in the Empire is to build the power furnace of warships. A Void Crystal the size of a little finger was enough to power a destroyer, and the Void Crystal that Thousand Nights obtained was incredibly large, and it was completely capable of powering the Empire's highest-specification 'Skyfire'-class mothership.
So far, the Imperial Floating Fleet has only a limited number of super warships, only a dozen or so. It's so rare, not because it can't be made, it's not because it can't be used, it's because there aren't enough Void Crystals to make a power furnace.
With a Void Crystal of this size, the Empire would have one more battleship. When many noble ladies came to Blackstream City with Wei Potian that day, Qianye had seen the main battleship of the empire, as if the entire block of the city was rising from the ground, and that ship was not yet at the level of heavenly fire. If the Void Crystal can be traded, then the rest of the entire battleship combined, and none of the Void Crystals are worth anything.
However, after Nangong Xiaoniao confirmed, Qianye felt troubled in addition to the joy of picking up the treasure. This is one of the most important strategic goods, difficult to handle, and not everyone can have it.
Song Zining and Qianye glanced at each other, understanding what each other was thinking, and Song Zining immediately said: "I'll find a way to deal with this thing." ”
What followed was a very calm day, and the bloody battle of the Iron Curtain continued, and the fierceness and bloodshed of the battlefield could be glimpsed from the regular reports sent by the Oniso and the headquarters of the expeditionary force. However, the recuperating Blackstream City is like a safe haven, with a shuttle of people and an orderly order.
Qianye was still hesitant to go to Zhao Valve, he was not afraid of danger, but instinctively resisted the truth of what happened back then. Song Zining didn't persuade him more, but was in full swing to make war preparations, preparing to take advantage of the great opportunity of the Iron Curtain to lead the dark fire to sweep the dark country, at least to level the adjacent areas of the Black Stream War Zone, and consolidate the results of the westward expansion before the expansion of a thousand nights.
Zhu Ji, like all human little girls of the same age, began to eat and sleep, and after sleeping and eating, she didn't see anything abnormal at all. However, the habit of pounced on Song Zining and calling her mother still exists, which makes Qishao extremely depressed, and when she faces Qianye, she will show a trace of difference from ordinary children, as if she is afraid and obedient.
In the afternoon, it was still three or four o'clock, and the lead-gray sky above the sky was unchanged, and the city began to light up according to the usual schedule.
Chiya walks through the streets of the Black Stream, looking at the city that now belongs to him. Ahead, a two-block construction site, thick steam pipes roaring to transmit power, pushing massive machinery taller than the surrounding floors, and countless workers working on scaffolding.
Both the repair of the walls and the reconstruction of the neighborhood are nearing completion, and it will not be long before the flow of people from all over the world fills these simple and luxurious buildings, and the wounds of the Battle of the Black Stream will become a page in the local annals.
This is the eternal night, a barren and bleak land, but with an incomparably resilient vitality.
Standing on a pile of cobweb-like steam pipes, Senya looked at the lights that lit up most of the city, and then turned his head to look beyond the walls into the endless wilderness.
His heart suddenly moved, and he lowered his head. In the middle of a crowd of people on one section of the street, a young man stopped and looked up.
When Qianye saw that familiar face, he suddenly felt a little in a trance, and the Tianxuan Spring Hunt across a continent seemed to be just yesterday, and it seemed to be a century away.
The man floated in the air and walked in front of Qianye step by step, his short light-colored hair was blown by the wind and constantly hit his handsome face, and he smiled: "Qianye, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Qianye was silent for a while before he said, "Second Prince Zhao." ”
Compared with Tianxuan's spring hunting, Zhao Junhong's temperament has changed a lot, and his flamboyant arrogance is completely constricted under his calm eyebrows. He was dressed in an ordinary samurai uniform, and the silver wings on his back were completely covered by a hooded cape, and apart from his tall and elegant figure, he looked no different from the warriors who came and went.
Zhao Junhong was also looking up and down Qianye, and said with a smile: "The time for our appointment to fight has passed, but it seems that I am getting worse and worse than you." ”
Qianye's tense body relaxed slightly, revealing a shallow smile, "If the second son is interested, I can accompany him." ”
Zhao Junhong's dark and deep purple eyes suddenly lit up, and he was quite eager to try, and then said regretfully: "Originally, the bloody battle of the Iron Curtain was a good time, you and I fought side by side, and it was good to compete." It's a pity that Yuying is waiting for you in the West Continent, she has already let go of her words, if you don't go, she will come to arrest people in person. ”
"Yusakura is healed?"
"Not yet, if it's good, how can she stay at home honestly?" Zhao Junhong paused, and said gently: "The fourth brother is now the leader of Zhao Valve's bloody battle teams, and he can't get out, so I'll accompany you to the Western Continent." ”
Thousand Nights was silent again.
"Isn't it windy up there?" a voice sounded nearby, mixed with a babbling soft child's voice. Song Zining stood on the street below, looking at the two with a smile, Zhu Ji hanging tightly on his right arm like a koala.
On the way to the Dark Fire Base, Qianye learned that Zhao Junhong came alone and did not bring any entourage to escort him. The situation of Zhao Valve was tense on the bloody battlefield, and Zhao Junhong came alone to disguise his identity, just because he didn't want to cause trouble and alarm others.
In addition, Zhao Yuying was not in Zhao Mansion in the West Pole City, and the people had already arrived at a floating boat transfer base of Zhao Valves on the edge of the Western Continent. Qianye knew in her heart that Zhao Yuying had interrupted the healing process and came to pick her up, and if she delayed any longer, she might really run to Yongye and catch him to Zhao Valve with her own hands.
There are some things that can't be avoided after all.
After Qianye returned to Darkfire's residence, she began to pack her luggage, and there wasn't really much she needed to bring. Zhao Junhong was going to hide his eyes and ears when he came, so he stayed in Qianye's room, and the two didn't talk much, in fact, they were carefully avoiding a topic.
After Qianye wiped the twin flowers, he suddenly said, "Fourth Prince Zhao said that he has a crystal lock plate left by my mother in his hand. ”
"When Cointreau returned to Zhao Valve this time to be promoted to general, he told his father about you. So, when you go back this time, your father will be there, and the things that will be handed over to you will also be there with him. ”
The father in Zhao Junhong's mouth is naturally Zhao Weihuang, the Duke of Chengen, and the father of Qianye.
Qianye was silent again.
Zhao Junhong said softly: "Back then, my eldest brother and third brother and I were all enrolled in school, and there was only Cointreau in the family, so he used to be very close to you, maybe you don't remember...... He didn't witness that happening, but it still had a great impact on him, and he couldn't understand it all these years. ”
"However, the inside story is very complicated, and we have been trying for years to find out what happened. Today, most of the people involved in it are no longer there. I'll let my father tell you about it, but there's only so much he can tell you. ”
"Why?" said Qianya.
"Because when it happened, my father was still fighting the rebels thousands of miles away. By the time he heard the news and rushed back, it was already too late. ”
Hearing this, Qianye's heart inexplicably relaxed a little, and the room fell silent again. After a while, Qianye's voice finally sounded: "If you can, let's set off tomorrow." ”
The trip was scheduled for the early morning of the next day, and not many people knew that Qianye was going to travel far away, and Nangong Xiaoniao was one of them. She sent Qianye all the way to the door of the floatboat, and how many times she wanted to say and stopped, until the door of the floatboat closed, and she couldn't say what she wanted to say.
The engine roared, and the float boat, which had already had traces of age, took off into the sky and flew into the vast sky. Nangong Xiaoniao stood in place until the float completely disappeared, and then slowly turned to leave. On her still childish face, I don't know when a lot of sadness crawled up.
As soon as Qianye left, Song Zining sent someone to invite Nangong Xiaoniao to the study.
"Sit down. This time, Song Zining was kind and pleasant, no longer as indifferent as before.
"I'll just stand. Nangong Xiaoniao was very cold, obviously the last time Song Zining persuaded her to leave Qianye, it was not so easy to forget.
