Chapter 3: Return to the Imperial Capital

The cosmic stone is a miraculous spar naturally produced during the birth of the universe, it is made of the most primitive cosmic energy aggregated, it contains unimaginable huge energy, and it is extremely rare and rare in the entire universe.

At this time, the cosmic stone at the top of the cylinder was so huge. According to the time of the ancient civilization recorded on the obelisk found by Locks, the largest cosmic stone they possessed was the size of a basketball. It is conceivable that the huge cosmic stone in front of me is so incredible.

Although there has never been a discovery of cosmic stones in the long history of the empire, the empire still knows that there is such a magical spar in the few words left in the remains of some ancient civilizations. After knowing that there was such a thing, the king at that time mobilized the power of the entire empire to find it. But after more than a dozen kings and more than a million years, not even a cosmic stone the size of a tiny grain of sand has been found. Later, the matter was closed, and no one ever mentioned it again.

Locks quietly looked at the incomparably beautiful blue spar in front of him with a blue glow, his hands trembled slightly, and his palms slowly sweated.

Johns, who had been paying attention to Locks, saw Locks, whose hands trembled slightly. Johns knew that Locks was thrilled at this time. The opportunity for the Minks family's revival was at their fingertips, and anyone in Locks' position at this point would be like Locks.

"Lord Earl, since we have discovered what we are looking for, we should get out of here as soon as possible." Although Johns knew that Locks was excited and excited at this time, he still had to interrupt Locks and said: "Max has brought the bodies of the wounded warriors and the sacrificed warriors back to the spaceship, and we are about to leave to prepare for the return voyage." ”

"Oh...... Good job, Uncle Johns. Locks suddenly came back from his excitement and excitement when he heard Johns's words and responded: "After a lot of hardship, this expedition is finally coming to an end today, and it's time to go home." ”

"Yes, it's been so many years, and I can't remember what the Imperial Capital Star looks like." Johns sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that most of the warriors and ordinary sailors who went out with us on the expedition from the imperial capital could not return alive to enjoy the honor and wealth they deserved. ”

"Hey......" Locks sighed helplessly, "although they can't go back alive, we who are alive will remember them." The Mincks will remember them, and the Empire will remember their sacrifices. ”

"Alright, Captain." Max interrupted the conversation between the two: "Now is not the time to talk about this, let's hurry back to the spaceship with this hedro, and then leave the Moldia asteroid group and return to the Imperial Capital Star." ”

"Yes, Max is right. It's not time to talk about this, it's better to get out of here. "Both of them understand that the most important thing in this matter is not to discuss, but to quickly transport this space stone back to the spaceship completely."

"York, you can get a few people to get this important hedron back to the ship completely." Max shouted at one of the tallest fighters under the platform, "Give me all the hard work, if anyone dares to be lazy, go back and smash his stinky ass." You have heard me clearly, don't put him in the medical pod. I'm going to let him lie down and moan in pain for a month. Humph......"

"You can rest assured, we will never dare to be lazy." York assured on behalf of the soldiers: "This is all about to go home, how dare we joke with you." If you say you won't be lazy, you won't be lazy. ”

"It's good to know the way, then don't you come up and move the spar for me." Max knows that the warriors will not be perfunctory at this time, but they still have to say it to show their majesty. ”

York led a few warriors to the platform, and immediately tied the cosmic stone with the high-strength rope he carried with him. (Due to the unimaginably huge amount of energy contained in the Cosmic Stone, the space ring on Locks' hand could not withstand it and was destroyed, so he had to use the most primitive manual transportation method.) )

Locks and Johns both got off the platform first, and then they both looked up at York as they slowly lowered the Cosmic Stone. The Zhilu Dao Cosmic Stone was safely placed on the ground, and the two of them relaxed their nervous mood. At this time, the palms of the two should be filled with sweat, and the two of them still don't know what to do.

Max and York saw that the cosmic quartz had fully reached the ground, and they immediately got off the platform.

The group of people moved in the direction of the passage from which they came, but just a few minutes after they left the platform, the glowing stones scattered around the platform were extinguished one by one, and returned to the most ordinary stones.

"No, there's danger here. Wear it in and get out of here. Max shouted anxiously at Locks.

Seeing that the glowing stone was gradually extinguished, they didn't need to be reminded by Max at all, and they had already accelerated towards the entrance of the passage. It's Locks and Johns, who don't usually exercise much, like sad bunnies who are being chased by vicious dogs.

"Damn, wait a minute." Seeing that he was the only one behind the most, and the others were already seven or eight meters away from him, he cursed: "You little rabbits, tell you not to wait for me, give me a chance, and watch me curse and clean you up." ”

"Ha Lu Ha...... Haha......"

York led the way and laughed, and the rest of the warriors laughed with York. This annoyed Max, and he couldn't see his men laughing at him.

Soon after, the crowd entered the passage where they came. At this time, there was a loud sound of a boulder hitting the ground behind him, and everyone who heard the sound immediately sped up. The sound of the collapse drew closer and closer to everyone, and at the last moment, everyone ran out of the passage. Max kicked in anger as he ran behind him, and couldn't help but sweat as he looked at the ruins of the entire building that had completely collapsed not far behind him.

"Don't rest, everyone, it's better to get out of here quickly." Looking at the people who stopped and rested in place, Johns pulled up Locks, who was sitting on the ground, and said to everyone: "Everyone get on the spaceship immediately, let's go home." ”

"Go home...... I can finally go home. The surviving fighters cheered.

Watching the warriors carefully put the Cosmic Stone into the chariot, Locks reluctantly got into the chariot. Seeing that no one was left, the pilot immediately started the engine and sped away towards the spaceship.

Fifteen minutes later, Rocks and the others were back on the ship. Locks sat in his captain's seat and commanded to Lychhardt, "Set sail, get out of here, we're going home."

"Yes, Captain."

Twelve years later, Locks' expedition ship finally emerged from the Moldia asteroid swarm. At this time, the spaceship no longer had much energy, and the living materials were not sufficient, so it was time to have to replenish it.

In the control center, there is a discussion about where to go for supplies.

"Captain, we should go to the nearest supply space station to resupply." Max began by expressing his personal opinion: "Although the cost is high, it is better than the distance." We don't have much energy to get into hyperspace and jump over long distances. ”

"I agree with Max's suggestion as well." Johns agreed: "We can only go to the nearest supply space station to resupply, the nearest planet has two months to form, and the energy of our ship cannot support anywhere." ”

"Okay, then go to the nearest supply space station to resupply." Locks agreed.

A month and three days later, a tattered looking expedition ship docked at the large space supply depot of Us-9. This is a space supply depot after the Republic of Learcester enters the most turbulent part of Moldia. Because a large number of expedition ships enter Moldia every year, the Republic of Learcester hereby sets up a space supply depot here to serve the incoming and outgoing explorers.

At this time, Max was talking to a big fat man about the cost.

"How can it be so expensive, it's just to fill up the energy and living materials warehouse and simply repair the spaceship, so it costs 500 million imperial star shields." Max didn't want to be slaughtered: "Don't overstate the numbers, I'm not easy to mess with." (Imperial Star Shield, the name of the currency used by the Tornod Empire)

"How so. We've always had this price here. The big fat man said innocently with a sincere expression: "I never do anything to falsely report this, if I give our webmaster a message, I will definitely be expelled." I am old and young, and my family depends on me to support them. ”

"There is no best." Max reluctantly took out the trading device that was stuck in the big fat man's hand, and then said, "Hurry up and carry out the supply and repair operations, we still have to hurry." ”

"Yes, yes. Right away. The big fat man said as he turned to leave. After walking a distance, he turned around and looked at Max, and muttered proudly, "Big idiot, it's so easy to believe." This time there are another five million coming in, and if there are a few more stupid × like this, I can leave here early and go back to live a comfortable life. ”

After seeing the big fat man walking away, Max returned to the spaceship and reported to Locks: "Captain, everything has been completed, just wait for the supplies to be repaired, and then set off for the imperial capital immediately." ”

"Okay, Max, go get some rest." Locks said with a wave of his hand.

"Yes, Captain."

Because of such a heavy treasure, Locks was afraid of being noticed by others, so he made a detour to this country for a while, and a detour to that country for a while. It's a waste of time.

A year and eight months later, Locks' spaceship finally arrived outside the Imperial Capital.

Looking at the long-awaited Imperial Capital Star, Locks was extremely emotional. I'm finally back here again, and I'm back with the key items for the Mincks family's revival.

"The nobles who oppressed the Minks family back then, I, Locks Minks, are back." Locks shouted at the Imperial Capital Star outside: "I want to settle all the accounts of the year, little by little. ”
