Monarch of Evernight: Two sixty-five things cannot be done
bsp;Song Zining and three others were at the top of the fortress, waiting for news from Qianye. Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan also failed to come as promised, but the two women were not very familiar with the three of them, so Zhao Yuying didn't care.
Several people walked out of the fortress and carried the body of the four-armed warrior not far away back to the fortress. Another person came to the three of them and said: "Mr. Qi invites you."
Qi Lao was highly respected and had strong fighting ability. The three of them were respectful when they came in front of him. They bowed first and then sat down.
Qi is over eighty years old, but he looks like he is in his early fifties. He has a slim figure, a slender face, and a pair of eyes with a little sparkle. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that he could move a huge bow that was as tall as a person, and that a casual arrow could have the power of an eighth-level gun.
Mr. Qi lived in only three rooms inside and outside, located at the back of the main building. The living room outside is not big and the decoration is very simple. Except for a set of exquisite tea sets, there is nothing exquisite.
Mr. Qi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My place is a bit simpler. You are all from everyone, so just make do with it."
Song Zining hurriedly said: "Where, where."
Mr. Qi sighed softly and said: "I think when I first entered the Maelstrom, I was not much older than you, but my cultivation level was still lower than yours. Our Qi family is just a low-class family. When I was sent into the maelstrom, I almost lost everything. Now that I see you, I know that the words "big family and endless inheritance" are true."
Song Zining knew a lot about the past and responded: "Mr. Qi was a hero back then and guarded the fortress for decades. He worked hard and made great achievements. The empire will never forget it."
Mr. Qi shook his head and sighed: "I was also lucky back then. I got some resources in the maelstrom and crossed the Divine General Heavenly Pass in one fell swoop. But after all, the foundation I laid when I was young was not good, and my level of force was somewhat If you are too low, it will be difficult every step after you pass the Divine General. If you want to go further, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. Alas, if you just want to change the technique, it is already too late."
Wei Potian said: "With your military achievements, you should be able to exchange it for the Tongtian inheritance. Even if you don't use this inheritance, it will always be useful to future generations."
Mr. Qi nodded immediately and said: "This is correct. It's a pity that the descendants of the family have no future and can only count on the next few generations."
Wei Potian was the heir apparent many years ago, and now it is certain that he will succeed him as head of the family. The Wei family has also been working hard to cultivate, so he always focuses on the long-term development of the family. Mr. Qi came from a small aristocratic family and had been the pillar of the family for decades, so he and Wei Potian had quite a good relationship.
Zhao Yuying, on the other hand, was intolerant of trouble and didn't even bother to get involved in her own affairs in the Youguo Duke's palace. She traveled around the world and participated in wars all day long. When Song Zining founded Ningyuan Heavy Industry, he planned to start a business through commerce and industry, and abandoned the traditional family way of establishing a business. Therefore, the two of them had little resonance with Mr. Qi.
After chatting for a while, Mr. Qi finally got to the point: "I have been in this maelstrom for decades, and these days I always have a whim, which has never happened before. And those four-armed men who appeared outside the fortress Samurai will not come here for no reason. This kind of thing is in the core area, but there is no way to stay here."
What Mr. Qi said makes sense. Song Zining said: "It is indeed strange, but the secret of heaven cannot be detected in the maelstrom, so we can only adapt to circumstances. It is embarrassing to say that we fell in the core area this time. In order to avoid the cold and silent night, we escaped almost non-stop. The situation in the core area is not very clear. As for why they came here, it is not very clear."
Song Zining did not mention it, and Zhao Yuying and others naturally would not say that it was because Zhao Ruoxi sneaked into the maelstrom with Manshu Shahua that caused such a big disturbance.
Mr. Qi nodded, with a worried look on his face, stroking his beard and said: "The reason is not important anymore. Now I am only worried about the emptiness of the fortress. If there are hundreds or even thousands of four-armed warriors, we will definitely not be able to defend it. Himself. There is only one small floating ship in the fortress, which can return to the empire."
"Only one?" The expressions of the three of them changed.
"How can one ship be enough? Aren't there always three ships in the fortress?" Song Zining asked with a frown.
Mr. Qi smiled bitterly, waved to the three of them, and said, "Come with me and you will know after you take a look."
The three of them followed Mr. Qi out of the main building and came to a closed courtyard in the fortress. There is a row of houses on one side of the courtyard, with workshops inside, and the keel of a floating ship placed in the open space in the courtyard. The keel has just been processed, and there are a lot of timber stacked next to it. The next step is to build the structural frame.
Song Zining himself is in the warship business. When he saw the keel and the materials beside it, and then looked at the workshops, he knew that this was a workshop for building floating ships. However, the shipbuilding technology is obviously still the same as it was hundreds of years ago, the power still relies on power sails, and the aerodynamics and defense all rely on the Force array.
Such a floating boat is basically made entirely by hand. However, the wood it uses is all taken from the Maelstrom, which is both strong and tough. Even now, it can be used directly as armor plates on aerial ships.
Mr. Qi pointed to the keel and said: "Where did you think these shuttle floating boats came from? Each one must be made here on site, one is built every year, and one can only go back once every two years. One ship carries people and cargo. The Maelstrom Channel has just opened, and there is still more than half a year before the new ship is scheduled to be built. The ship that is available now is for emergency use. ”
This would be serious if there was only one ship. Song Zining pondered for a moment and asked: "Mr. Qi, if you want to return to the empire, do you have to use this floating boat?"
Qi Laodao: "This empty boat is not only for protection, but more importantly, it can identify the direction to ensure the return to the empire. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke to rush to Yongye when we go out?"
Song Zining asked again: "What I mean is, if we don't use this shuttle boat, can we pass through the passage alive?"
Mr. Qi thought for a moment and said slowly: "You might be able to do it. Miss Zhao will be seriously injured. As for Crown Prince Wei, it's better not to try."
Zhao Yuying immediately quit, "What do you mean? Are you saying Song Xiaoqi is better than me?"
Mr. Qi has seen a lot of the geniuses of these big families, so he is not annoyed. He coughs and says: "It's not that he is better than you. It's just that the secret method he cultivates is more suitable for surviving in the space channel."
Zhao Yuying relaxed her brows and regained her complacency. But then she thought of the real problem and changed her color and said: "Wait a minute! Mr. Qi, do you mean that if the four-armed warriors attack, we will leave Qianye and the others here without any other options?"
Qi Laoxuan said: "What I mean is that if this really happens, we have to make a plan in advance. Otherwise, when things happen, we will panic again, but it will be too late."
Song Zining frowned. He had already thought about Mr. Qi's intention. The fortress of the Empire is not big, and for defense purposes, it can only hold a few hundred people inside it. And it is hard to say whether the total number of powerful empires in the vortex can exceed a hundred. Once surrounded by an army of four-armed warriors, the only option is to abandon the city to save your life and retreat to the empire. Otherwise, not to mention protecting the city, even the people who defended the city would be buried with him.
Just as I was thinking about it, a person suddenly flew over and said in a voiceless voice: "Mr. Qi, something bad has happened! Many four-armed warriors appeared outside the fortress!"
Qi Lao was shocked and did not answer. He flew up and climbed onto the city wall. Song Zining and others followed immediately, stood at the top of the city, and looked into the distance. Smoke and dust billowed there, and four-armed warriors stepped out of the smoke and swarmed over. In addition to the four-armed warriors, there are countless two-armed people. The ones in the front are holding swords and shields, as if they are in a fighting formation. The ones behind are of all kinds, carrying various family items on their backs, and some are even chasing natives. A beast of burden with various supplies placed on it. Looking at this posture, it seems that they are not only fighting, but also preparing to move here and settle down.
"This, this..." With Mr. Qi's usual knowledge, his hands were trembling slightly.
Song Zining sighed softly and said: "It can't be done, let's go."
Zhao Yuying quit and said angrily: "What will happen to Xiaowu when we leave? You can just leave him here? Potian, what do you mean?"
Wei Potian also looked solemn. During this time of running around, his face had gained a strong, short beard, making him look much more stable. He looked into the distance and said nothing for a while, then he said in a low voice: "That's the only thing."
There were more than a hundred four-armed warriors, and there were tens of thousands of two-armed warriors. When the huge figure that almost broke the sky and earth appeared in the distance, even Zhao Yuying was speechless.
After a moment, a small floating boat rose into the sky and flew towards the dark patch of sky.
The flying boat was packed with people, all of them had gloomy faces and said nothing. Mr. Qi finally sighed and said: "During the time when there was no big whirlpool, didn't our human race also come here? Furthermore, we also left behind the method of making boats. If they are lucky, they can make another shuttle boat. Return to the Empire."
The shuttle boat finally flew into the darkness and disappeared. The fortress below was already crowded with people with two arms, noisily demolishing everything that could be demolished. In a short time, the fortress turned into a pile of rubble, with only the empty half of the main building and a few sections of walls still telling stories of the past.
The mighty multi-armed tribesmen were like a torrent, sweeping across the earth and heading into the distance.
Neutral land, the scenery at the edge of the East China Sea continent remains unchanged, and external changes seem to have little impact here. The cold wind here is as cold as a knife all year round, and the void storm is raging. It can be said that every step is dangerous, so no one is willing to hang around here.
A figure came quickly, skillfully avoiding the cracks in space, and came to the Duke's battleship lying flat on the ground.
"Master, the matter has been settled."
As he spoke, Jalinan opened his backpack and revealed the little girl inside. The little guy looks about seven or eight years old and is absolutely beautiful. She curled up her body and slept soundly.
Yetong's faint voice came from the battleship: "It was done so quickly, not bad. Did you encounter no trouble?"
Jalinan smiled bitterly and said: "Only when the master explains how to do it will she be willing to obey and follow me. Otherwise, I may not be able to bring her back."
"Didn't those natives make things difficult for you?"
"When I got there, the entire tribe was dead."
Yeye Tong let out a sound, seeming a little surprised. The hatch of the battleship opened, a stream of blood energy came out, and the little girl was rolled in, and the hatch was immediately closed.
Calinan did not enter the battleship, but came to several stone houses nearby, which was his new residence. He took off his armor and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the large bruises on his body that were difficult to remove. If he didn't take out the token in time, he wouldn't be able to bring this little guy back.
Jalinan let out a sigh of relief and felt that the tasks assigned by his master were getting more and more difficult.
