Chapter 67: The Past
"This was painted by Razon himself. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Huh?" Evelyn looked at it carefully, and under the instructions of the Admiral, using the Soul Network, she realized the difference in this painting.
It turned out that the surroundings of the house were not completely blank, but were painted with a network of souls. Because the soul network is intangible, it cannot be "seen", and can only be felt through the same soul network.
That aura stayed there for a long time, and it was obvious that it was the breath of Admiral Lasson's soul network... Overall, it was depressing, filled with the brutality and madness of the deep sea.
At this time, looking at the house in the middle of the painting, there is a feeling of loneliness and pity, as if it will be eroded by the surrounding deep sea atmosphere at any time.
Evelyn felt this, but couldn't figure out what it meant... Come to think of it, Admiral Lasson also spent a lot of soul network for this painting, so it shouldn't have been painted casually, right?
Lie shook his head, retracted his attention from the painting, and looked back at Xi and them.
"Rest well tonight, tomorrow, we're going to follow some... Strange place. Perhaps, there will be some dangers, so be careful. ”
"Yes, Admiral. ”
The three deep sea ships all said they understood, but none of them left immediately... Well, if there are four, you can just rub mahjong, right?
Evelyn laid out her belongings, Xi made a pot of coffee, and Petrel closed the curtains... Poof, look at that posture, are you really ready to start playing mahjong?
...
Inside the fortress, Lasson's room, there are still lights.
"Those guests haven't slept yet?"
"Yes, Admiral. "A perch stood behind Lasson, and it seemed to be very close, and the perch was not restrained. At the same time, the chamberlain thought for a moment and told the Admiral about the game that the guests were playing.
“... Is it really big and not worried at all?Or are you not curious about the content of the mission?" Larson shook his head, thinking, "Perhaps, this is why Lord Rohr sent him." ”
"Have you investigated?" Lasson asked the attendant behind him, who had other orders given to them besides keeping an eye on Lie and his party.
One of the most important points in Lord Rohr's sealed letter, and one of Rohr's greatest concerns, is the mention of an abandoned mine. It's also not right to say that the abandoned pit was originally planned to be mined, but it was recently discovered that it seems to have been mined.
The news that the ship's mother has occupied the stone forest area is naturally untrue... But the thing about the pit mentioned in the envelope really happened.
And, it didn't happen too far off, just like the report that Rohr received. The resource points of the entire stone forest area are mined according to the predetermined plan, and one resource point is about to be exhausted a few days ago, entering the final stage of protection, and at the same time moving on to the next resource point.
It's just that those who went to the deep sea to mine found that there were already mines inside, and they had already been mined!
In order to prevent the shipwives from mining resources, all resource point entrances are guarded by the deep sea, and there is no exception. It's just that Ah Song found out during his exploration that the pit in there is not recent... To be precise, it existed before the establishment of the Deep Sea Empire.
This is also normal, and it happens occasionally, after all, the Deep Sea Empire has not been established for a long time. It's not a strange thing that a ship has mined before, but it's a pity.
Surveys carried out by Lasson with the deep sea found that the reserves there were already very low, that is, there was no way to carry out sustainable mining. As a result, Larzon made the decision to enter the final state of protection, sealing off the resource point and waiting for it to recover on its own.
It's just that after receiving the letter from Lord Rohr, Lasson can't deal with it so simply... At the beginning, Lasson really didn't think about anything special.
The relationship between Larsson and Rohr is not ordinary, and Rohr has been following Rohr when he is still in the chieftain's forces. In this respect, neither Becas nor Bai and other deep-sea admirals have followed Rasson for as long as Rael.
After all, after Rohr did something like that, there weren't many people who were willing to follow him. Lasson is also the old man of Rohr, and he has an important mission to come here.
It's not complicated, because of a rumor, the kind of rumor that doesn't have an actual source.
...
It is said that the Admiral of the Deep Sea, the Emperor, swept most of the world in an instant when he began to conquer the world. The Stone Forest District is naturally also a place of battle... The most special thing is that the emperor himself came here!
This is incredible, Luo Er is well aware of the power of the Emperor, and only when attacking a few important places, the Emperor has personally attacked. Those battles were all important battles to destroy the forces of the chieftains, the forces of the European Emperor, and the forces called the enterprise ship Niang, and they were the major battles that decided the direction of the future.
In a remote place like the Stone Forest District, although the resources here are still precious, they are far from the extent that Lord Luo Er personally takes action.
So, why? In the rumors that Luo Er heard, it was said that the Emperor was for a secret treasure! Luo Er, who didn't care about it at first, fell into thought after hearing the news.
As a general directly under the emperor, Luo Er still knows some things, such as what the emperor is really looking for. I'm not sure what it is, but it must be a very precious item that can make the emperor bother, right?
Whether it is for his own use or for the emperor, it is of great benefit to Rohr. Luo Er knew that the Emperor was still searching, that is, he had not found it until now.
So, could it really be in the Stone Forest District? Luo Er carefully investigated, and was sure that the Emperor seemed to have really come to the Stone Forest District, so he became more and more convinced of that rumor. Even if it was only a small possibility, Rohr decided to do it.
After all, the Stone Forest District is in its own territory, which is very convenient. So, Larsson was sent there by Rolle, and this information was also judged by Rawl from what Lord Rolle had told him.
...
"What is that object?" Lasson thought to himself.
When I first arrived, I had been looking carefully for a long time, but every time I got clues, it was confirmed that the rumors were false. By now, Razon was on the verge of forgetting about it, until he saw the sealed letter from Lord Rohr.
"Whether it's true or not, since it's Lord Rohr's orders, we're going to take a look. "This is what Lasong thinks at this time, and he will take Lie with him tomorrow, so let his subordinates' deep sea take a look first.
The attendant behind her shook her head, and although time was pressing, she still probed carefully... It's just that nothing special was found, just like before.
"In that case, don't bother too much... Rest assured, nothing will happen. Feeling a little uneasy in the attendant behind her, Lasson comforted her.
"Admiral, have you ever thought about going back?" Cautiously, the attendant behind him asked about it. As a very close attendant of Lasson, she naturally knew a lot about Lord Admiral.
"Go back?" Lasson was stunned and didn't speak for a long time... It's been a long time since I've been here, and I've been here for a long time, so I think I've always been here.
In fact, Songsong first lived in Dongzhou City, managing more affairs for Lord Luoer. It's just that Shiro didn't know where it came from, and during the time when Lasson left, he took Lasson's place, and it has been until now.
“... We're happy here, aren't we?" said Razon without turning around. The ship's hand rested on Lason's shoulder, relieving the Admiral's fatigue.
...
The night ended and the moon set, and the next day came.
"Admiral, it's time to get up!" Xi jumped up and down to the Admiral's bedside, calling out to his Admiral.
"Well, sleep for a while, five minutes, just five minutes~" Lie turned over and buried his head in the pillow... obviously said that he slept early in the morning, but he ended up playing late with them, in fact, Lie felt that he had just laid down.
For the deep sea or the ship girl, it only takes a short break every day to be energetic, but for the spirit, who still retains human characteristics, it can't reach that point.
"The Admiral doesn't want to get up~, so let's let the Admiral rest a little longer?" Evelyn said as she walked in with Petrel.
"It's just, it's only five minutes, what can Lord Lie do?" Haiyan said suspiciously, if she was still in a state of sleepiness, five minutes would not be of much use, right?
"Five minutes? maybe, maybe, probably... Enough for the Admiral... Beep~Beep..."
"Get up, I'm already up!" Listening to their conversation, Lie immediately sat up from the bed!
"Hee-hee~" Xi smiled and took out brand new clothes for the Admiral. When Lie dresses up with Evelyn's help, a sense of majesty and heroism reappears on Lie's body.
Indeed, the black admiral suit in the deep sea does look more domineering than the white admiral suit of the ship's mother. In particular, the black on the edge of the clothes has a hint of dark red, which adds a bit of mystery.
...
"Lord Lie, please have breakfast. A lasong attendant walked in with a dining cart, not only for the flames, but also for the Tsuki, Haiyan, and Evelyn.
In the absence of zero or inter-palaces, the food of the deep sea really only has four resources that have been simply processed. That is, edible steel, aluminum, ammunition and fuel, but with a slight taste. It seems that the deep sea here can't even make simple meals with these.
Of course, the meal prepared for Lie was made with normal ingredients, but unfortunately the taste was much worse than that made by Zero and Mamiya.
"When I'm out of the house, I can only make do with it~" Lie thought in his heart... A few months after returning to the ship's wife, one of the guys has completely forgotten about the hard life in the ruins.
