Chapter 1700: Who's the Winner?
"What if I refuse?" Alfie asked. He knew that Sebastian was speaking lightly, but the Sea of Mists was actually quite terrifying, before the appearance of mechanical warships, no one dared to go deep into the depths of the ocean more than a hundred kilometers offshore, even if Augusta later created a mechanical warship, this range of activities was only expanded to about two hundred kilometers offshore. It's not that there are no adventurers who have entered the depths of the ocean, but no one has ever returned, not even the powerhouses of the Sanctuary Realm.
Although Sebastian let him go on the surface, his intentions were very sinister, and he clearly wanted to kill people with a knife, and he didn't have to have blood on his hands.
"Then I'm sorry, you will be thrown into Basra prison for life on charges of mastermind of the assassination of the emperor. Sebastian said mercilessly. He had painstakingly laid out before, just for this moment, to force Alfie to agree to his conditions, and enter the sea of mist as he expected.
"That's it. Alfie immediately made a wise choice, "I'd rather go to sea than the eerie Basra prison." But one thing I'm curious about is, why do you have to let me leave by sea?"
"Someone once told me that the continent is actually round. That is, all the way to the east, at the end of the Sea of Mists is the western continent, which is cut off by the Bavarian Mountains, and I hope you can help me prove it. Sebastian said leisurely, "Even if it's a condition for me to let you go~"
"I knew it wasn't that simple! It turns out that you want to find another way to open up the route to the Western Continent by sea!" Alfie suddenly understood Sebastian's true intentions. However, when you think about it, it's easy to understand that when you can't break through the Bavarian Mountains, it's wise to seek a breakthrough from the Sea of Mist.
Especially after holding the Invincible Armada, a force that is enough to dominate the sea, Alfie even suspects that after Sebastian opens up the sea route, he is ready to rely on the Invincible Armada to directly sweep away the Claire Kingdom and the Reading Federation, and complete the hegemony of the unified continent!
Alfie was secretly surprised by Sebastian's ambitions, but he noticed something interesting and couldn't help but ask curiously, "I want to know, who told you that the continent is actually a sphere?"
After listening to Alfie's words, Sebastian's eyes flashed imperceptibly, he just mentioned that the continent is round, but Alfie was not as incomprehensible as ordinary people, but went one step closer and said that the continent is a sphere, could it be that he really knows something?
Sebastin's face didn't show it, but he was slightly stunned and said, "I can't tell you this for the time being, but I can give you a little hint, this person has something to do with you." ”
Alfie was suddenly confused, no one he knew seemed to have this kind of advanced cognition, after all, as far as he knew, almost all people on the mainland thought that the continent was flat, even Bishut was no exception. But the arcing horizon seen several times in the sky told him that the continent of Eliat was likely also a sphere.
However, Alfie didn't care about it so much for the time being, and it was the most important thing to leave quickly, and he confirmed to Sebastian: "Then I agree to your conditions, can I leave right now?"
Sebastian told Alfie the answer with practical actions. Under his leadership, all the Imperial troops who boarded the Hyperion, along with Master Madison, followed him down the gangway, leaving Alfie alone on board.
"Sebastin, although we have different positions, I have to admit that I admire your open-mindedness and let me leave so relieved. Alfie stood at the bow of the ship and raised his hand at Sebastin.
"I hope to get good news from you soon. Sebastian said as if he were saying goodbye to an old friend.
"Uh, don't be in such a hurry~ I haven't finished my words yet!" Alfie's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said to Sebastian: "I will not forget how you carefully designed it step by step to force me to leave by sea!"
Sebastian laughed when he heard this: "I've been thinking about a question, who can open up the connection between the Eastern and Western continents, and I have come to only one conclusion, and that person can only be you, Alfie, the son of victory." So for the sake of the entire continent, you should sacrifice a little. I'm sure you'll understand my painstaking efforts in this way in the future. ”
"Hmph, I've written it down. Alfie snorted coldly, and pale blue mechanical divine power poured out of him, enveloping the entire Hyperion in the blink of an eye. The Hubelion shook slightly, and slowly left the dock.
"He did! He really did! He single-handedly drove a battleship that could only be controlled by a hundred men to set sail!" the soldiers on Port Royal exclaimed.
Bathed in mechanical power, the Hyperion looks like a starlight ship that has crossed time and space, sailing along the canal into the distance. This magical scene is destined to become a spectacle that many people will never forget.
"Is this the end of it? Everything is going according to the trajectory you planned. Looking at the departing Hyperion, Master Madison let out a sigh.
"Something doesn't seem right. Sebastian was not so optimistic, "Don't you think it's a little too smooth? With Alfie's character of having nothing to do, it seems that she shouldn't be so easy." ”
As soon as Sebastian's voice fell, he saw Alfie on the Hyperion wave his hand at him and shouted loudly: "Marshal Sebastian, I'm very sorry, I don't agree with your arrangement very much, so for such an important matter as opening up the sea route, you should ask for another master!"
Sebastin's face changed when he heard this, he didn't know what the confidence of Alfie was in saying this, didn't he know that for the powerhouse of the Holy Domain, the distance of a few hundred meters was not a problem at all?
As soon as Sebastian wanted to make a move, he saw the hundred-meter-long Hyperion suddenly and magically disappear, and Alfie, who was originally on the ship, lost support and fell from mid-air to the water. Just as he was about to fall into the water, a spatial fluctuation flashed, and Alfi disappeared suddenly......
"This fluctuation is the arrow of time and space?" Sebastian's eyes narrowed slightly, "Did that guy meddle again?"
"Sebastin, what are we going to do next?" asked Master Madison, stunned. He didn't expect that at the last moment, Alfie would disrupt Sebastian's layout in such an unexpected way.
"Send the order to arrest Septent throughout the city at once!" Sebastian commanded with a grim expression.
"Thankfully, we've planted the Destroyer on board the Hyperion in advance, and we can detonate it as soon as you agree. Master Madison rejoiced. The Destruction Potion was a countermeasure devised by Sebastian after the Carus Rebellion, but fortunately, with the help of Alfie, it was created in time.
Sebastian had been communicating with Alfie in the lab for so long, just to place the Potion of Destruction on the Hyperion. Alfie probably didn't expect that the first person to taste the potion of destruction would be himself, which cannot but be said to be a great irony.
"Not yet. I think Alfie's shrewdness must have discovered the existence of the Potion of Destruction a long time ago. He fled in front of us like this, and in addition to demonstrating to us, he must have found a way to remove this hidden danger. Sebastian said calmly.
"But in that case, wouldn't we have lost the Hyperion in vain?" said Master Madison anxiously.
"It's okay, I have other arrangements. After all, we didn't expect the Destruction Potion to be made in time, so we also prepared a backup plan, which came in handy. Sebastian reassured.
"Yes, if it weren't for Sword's use of the pendulum of time, which made time stand still for a few seconds, and Alfie took the opportunity to keenly find a breakthrough in the manufacture of the destructive potion, I'm afraid it would take us a long time to make it, and I have to admit that Alfie is indeed an unborn potion genius. Master Madison was stunned.
"Don't worry. You still have a chance. Sebastian patted Master Madison on the shoulder comfortingly, and said with a cold glint in his eyes, "Next, we have to talk to Dobby." If there is no accident, there should be a fragment of the mechanical chapter in his hand, and we must get it!"
At this time, Pat came to Sebastin's side and whispered a few words to him, and Sebastin's face changed when he heard this: "Before the black dragon left, you heard a telepathy?"
"Yes, Marshal. But we can't decipher what's going on. Pat replied respectfully.
"Is that a code word?" Sebastian asked, frowning.
"Well, according to our linguists, that's the language of the Old Fishman. Pat replied cautiously.
The Imperial Military Department's information about Alfie has this one: "It has a close relationship with the Colorful Fish-Man, and it is suspected that he has mastered the Fish-Man language!"
"Interesting. It seems that it was indeed Alfie who leaked the news and informed Dear Knight to leave in time. Sebastin's eyes narrowed, "Alfie, it seems that I still underestimate you." But do you really think you've completely escaped my palm?"
......
In an inconspicuous alley near St. Jessica's Cathedral in the south of the imperial capital, three obscene figures appeared in Soso, who were the three old acquaintances Alfie had met when he first arrived in the imperial capital: Fett, Jason, and Jill.
Each of them carried a huge burden containing the "loot" they had collected during the chaos tonight.
The three of them looked at the dark blood-colored roses and their hearts beat for a while, after all, in this sleepless night, every building in the imperial capital was brightly lit, and only here gave people the illusion that people were going to empty buildings.
"Boss Willie won't hang up in the chaos, will he?"
"No kidding! I can guarantee that even if all the people in the imperial capital die, that old monster will still be alive and well!"
"That's great! He'll be sure to get a good price for our goods!"
"Remember, don't mention the source of these things for a while. ”
"That's natural, you and we are all stupid~ But Boss Willy never asks where the goods come from, otherwise why would we have to run here through most of the imperial capital to sell the stolen goods?"
"Shut up, you idiot!"
"Wait, wait, it looks like someone has come out......"
At this time, the blood-colored rose suddenly brightened up, the door was opened from the inside, and a petite figure walked out of it, looking at the three people who were shaking their eyes for a while, and let out a strange laugh: "Wowhaha~ I'm so lucky, I didn't expect that as soon as I became the boss here, there would be a sale!"
"Y-who are you?, where is Boss Willy?" asked Fett, boldly.
"You don't need to know where old Willie went. You just need to remember that from now on, the Scarlet Rose will be in charge of my boss Bonnie!" Bonnie, dressed in Sakura close-fitting armor, announced proudly.
