Chapter 246: Preparations for Air Combat

Skee's men came to the room and dragged the body and the wounded away, and the lion's head crumbled, revealing an unconscious Harden, who was also escorted down.

The golden lion Shiji beckoned the rest of the people to drink as usual, and everyone drank in a dull atmosphere, but no one spoke.

"Lord Shiki, if you want to get the key technology of the ship, you should go to the East China Sea. Chloe put down her glass and spoke first, breaking the silence.

Although the other members of the expedition had also surrendered to Shiji, they were always a little awkward, and no one spoke, and at this time, seeing Chloe's appearance of impatience to surrender, he couldn't help but have complicated eyes.

"East China Sea?" Shi Ji asked with interest, "Could it be that this kind of ship is a new technology in the East China Sea?"

"Pretty much the same thing was ordered to be built by a man named Morgan William in the East China Sea, and the blueprints and the shipbuilders who were involved in the construction of this kind of ship should have returned to the East China Sea by now. Chloe said slowly.

Crick looked at Chloe with some admiration, this person is really able to bend and stretch, and he is ruthless, he was originally William's trusted confidant and high-level, controlling important intelligence agencies for William, but he didn't expect that as soon as he saw the incomparable strength and famous name of the Golden Lion Shiki, he immediately sold William's intelligence.

What did he say he wanted to do? Did he want to lure a ferocious and powerful pirate like the Golden Lion Shiki to the East China Sea?

"Shut up!" someone seemed to be thinking of it with Crick, and involuntarily shouted to stop.

These people are all from the East China Sea, where they have their family and friends, and under the influence of William's propaganda and public opinion, they are more and more regional, they are forced to surrender, but no one wants a sea thief like the golden lion Shiji to go to the East China Sea, Chloe's words make them feel vicious, they want to exchange their hometown for credit in front of the new master.

Golden Lion Shiji looked at the nervous expedition members, and suddenly laughed loudly: "You don't know yet, I was originally going to the East China Sea!"

……

East Sea, Kalmar City.

When Nami went ashore, she saw a lot of people talking about the people on the dock.

Kensuke, the sheriff of the village, originally wanted to accompany Nami to Neweast Academy to sign up, and even wanted to stay in the city to take care of Nami.

But now that the village of Cocoa West, which has just escaped from the rule of the Dragon Pirates, is in ruins, and the village has just turned away from the Kingdom of Falais and thrown into the arms of the Kingdom of Navia, as a high-prestige magistrate in the village, Kensuke has to face a bunch of things, Nami doesn't want to trouble Kensuke at this time, and the village can't do without him.

Nokigao was also dismissed by Nami for similar reasons, and now Nami thinks that she can take care of herself, she has even stolen pirates' money, and in terms of wit and courage, she is no less than many adults.

Nami, who was curious, leaned into the crowd and listened silently for a while, only to realize that the envoy of the Kingdom of Falais had just left the docks.

Nami had mixed feelings when she heard the name "Falais Kingdom", Cocoa West Village was originally the territory of the Falais Kingdom, but in the most difficult years of being ruled by the Dragon Pirates, the rulers of the Falais Kingdom were almost oblivious to the suffering of their people.

If it weren't for the Kingdom of Navia for help, I don't know how long it would take for the Dragon Pirates to be driven away.

In the village, an adult like Kensuke may still feel guilty about leaving the country as a last resort, but in Nami's heart, who was once imprisoned by Aaron, she has no feelings for this country, and even has some resentment, second only to the humans she found when she peeked at the Aaron base.

Over the years, Nami has been suspicious that those humans are trading with Aaron and his gang, because as far as she observes by Aaron's side, many of the materials of the Evil Dragon Pirates are not obtained by looting, so there is only one possibility, it is to trade with others, there are almost no fish people in the East China Sea, so it is obvious that the people who trade with the Dragon Pirates can only be humans.

Nami hated this speculation and was always haunted by it, preparing to investigate the events of the year when she grew up and had the power to protect herself.

On the other hand, the news of the arrival of the envoys of the Kingdom of Falaise also reached William's ears, but he was not interested in dealing with the other party now, so he asked the attendant to arrange for these foreigners to find a place to stay, and continued to listen to Edmund and the others report on the situation when they returned.

Edmund and others' ships arrived at the port of Kalmar City in the morning, as soon as they arrived at the place, William divided the students into several teams according to the established plan, arranged them to his various shipyards, and put the construction of new steam ships on the agenda, in addition to loading people, there were also a large number of goods, all of which were part of the new steamship parts completed in the capital of seven waters, because Carrera Company did not have enough funds, so they could only transport other parts back to the East China Sea, and let the shipyards in the East China Sea solve it by themselves, but this could also greatly shorten the time for the launch of the new ship.

Other cadres, such as Edmund, Selkirk, Jesus, and others, were called to William's office and asked in detail about the disappearance of Harden and others.

In fact, on the day of the return trip, Edmund and the others were also discussing and researching this issue on the ship, sorting out some doubts and clues.

Therefore, as soon as Jesus waited for William to ask, he said: "On the night when Harden and the others disappeared in the boat, I seemed to vaguely see something rise into the air, probably their ship, but it was too dark at that time for me to see clearly, and I thought I was mistaken. ”

Jesus Bu is a sharpshooter, his eyesight is far beyond ordinary people, and he is the only one who can see something abnormal when he is not many nautical miles away in the dark night.

"Lift-off?" William thought with a frown.

"Could it be because of Sky Island? We heard someone mention it when we were on Gaya Island. Edmund looked at William, and then at Dampier beside him, and asked for a sermon.

William didn't know much about the Sky Island and looked at Danbier.

"That's not what the book says about the island," said Danbil, rubbing his chin with his index finger and thumb, "If what Jesus saw is true, it is that there is something that makes the ship silently rise into the sky, but the island is only a region, and it does not have this ability." ”

"If it's not an empty island, where would it be?" muttered Edmund.

There was some silence in the room for a while, even William had no clue, he was very smart, but he was not a god, Harden's disappearance could be said to have no clues or clues, in this case, no one could do anything.

"The first goal now is to speed up the construction of new steamships," said William with a cold face after a moment of silence, "the shipyards are in full swing, and the textile mills in Kalmar City are also moving, and I want to build enough hot air balloons and airships." ”

Harden and the others were missing near the Great Voyage and the Windless Zone, and the only way to find them was to go there, and the search required more new steamships, and whether or not they disappeared because of the Sky Island, William was ready to take the time to take a look, he had a hot air balloon, and recently developed an airship, and the Sky Island was not a difficult thing for him.
