The edge of the galaxy.

A spaceship quietly hides behind an asteroid, leaving its hull in the dark, floating silently like a meteorite.

"It's been almost a week, are we just doing nothing and just waiting here dryly?"

Vader yawned and said with some boredom.

"It's a safe distance, and it only takes an hour from here to the nearest jump point, and then we can enter the vast universe."

"Is it necessary to be so careful?"

"Recently, the whole galaxy has been very lively, and I heard that the mother of Baron William is about to be born, and there will be a big carnival in the entire territory."

"We might as well take this opportunity to blend in together, and no one will be able to tell the difference."

Vida made an observation.

The last time there was a disagreement, it was Maria who came up with a compromise that did not go too deep into the galaxy and made it easier to gather information.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the air, and it was Mary.

"Guys, I might have found Mawson!"

Mary speaks amazingly.

"What!"

"Where is he?"

Elizabeth and Vader asked at the same time.

A message appears in mid-air, appearing to be some kind of trade announcement, with the sender hiding his real name and choosing a network ID.

And the name of this network ID is, Nova from Salem.

The names Salem and Nova are not very symbolic when they are separated, but if they are put together, they are unforgettable for Mary.

"Can you get in touch with him?"

Elizabeth looked excited, she was really worried after being separated for so long.

At the same time, on the other side of the galaxy, Mawson sent another message.

Since boarding Earls, Mawson and Mathilde have been under the watchful eye of outsiders at all times, except inside the manor, and all items entering the manor have to be checked.

Information and communication with the outside world are under constant surveillance, and Mathilde can feel the oppression of the impending rain.

Half a month later, a brand-new small flying machine slowly stopped on the top of the manor.

"What are you buying this for?"

Mathilde asked, a little strangely.

"Think of it as a last splurge, it won't cost me money anyway." Mawson laughed and made a joke.

The source of fire in his chest jumped inexplicably a few times, and Mawson pressed the switch, the dome cracked, and the aircraft slowly descended into the manor, while blocking all peeping information.

"Has the ship been inspected?"

At an altitude of 10,000 meters above the manor, an officer asked with a cold face.

"It has been thoroughly investigated, it is the most advanced sightseeing ship under Galaxy Machinery, and there is no movement on it."

"What about the other surveillance equipment?"

The officer asked.

"In order to avoid provoking contradictions, no other surveillance information was implanted on the spacecraft."

Someone replied.

"Good, good."

"Keep an eye on them for me, Lord Baron has some minor troubles, and when that is settled, he should come back and deal with this side of things."

Remembering some rumors among the nobility, the officer's brow furrowed even deeper.

Click!

From the top roof, it plunges into the ground, and the ground cracks and closes.

"Are you going to use this thing to take us out of the galaxy?"

Mathilde smiled.

"This is a product of Galaxy Machinery, and in the galaxy, all Galaxy Machinery products are under William's control."

"If you want to escape, you'll have to think of another way."

Mawson took a few steps forward, placing his palm against the ship's cold metal shell.

"This is not a product of the Galactic Machine!"

Sonorous!

With a dense sound of metal crashing, the huge spaceship disintegrated automatically, the metal twisted and rotated, and in a short time, a burly metal giant appeared in the field.

The giant knelt on one knee, his head pressed very low, his eyes sparkled, and he said in a humble voice: "Great master, obsidian is at your service!" ”

"Long time no see, my old friend!"

Compared to before, Obsidian's body was dozens of times larger, and the fire in his chest was beating, obviously reaching an unprecedented height.

"After all this time, don't you miss me?"

A gentle voice rang out, and a figure flew out of obsidian's chest, none other than a completely metallic Mary.

"What is this?"

Mathilde couldn't help but exclaim, she was well-informed, but she couldn't help but be surprised to see Obsidian and Maria.

"Pure mechanical creatures, did you mine some of the large ruins of the Mechanical Court?"

"They're all products of the last civilization?"

"Sort of." Mawson muttered.

"Are Elizabeth and Vader safe?"

"Don't worry about your little lovers, I sent them to a safe place." Mary replied.

"It's just that one of your lovers doesn't seem very happy because I can't see you."

"Lovers?"

Mawson frowned, "That Vader has nothing to do with me, and I wish I could throw her away." ”

"Duplicity!"

Maria snorted.

Mawson had a big head for a while, and at this time he wished that Maria was just a dull artificial intelligence.

"What are you going to do now? Is it right here to go to war with that William?" Maria asked.

Mawson shook his head, "That's not going to work. ”

"With William's influence here, even if he doesn't do it himself, he can use people to kill me."

"Besides, I don't know anything about his abilities, so I should test it out in advance just to be on the safe side."

"But now that you're here, I'll have a lot easier." Mawson smiled, "Is there a problem controlling the planet's communications?" ”

Numerous metal tentacles protruded from Maria's body, inserting into the nearby web.

There was a glimmer of light from her, and countless streams of data flashed in her eyes, and it was a long time coming.

"That's it."

A twinkle flashed in Mawson's eyes, "Now we have to keep him busy!" ”

With the knowledge almost absorbed and the situation in his body basically stabilized, Mawson felt that it was time for him to go out and exercise his muscles.

…………

"Rubbish!"

William growled.

With his voice, an infinite sense of oppression swept across the audience, and a glimmer of gold flashed in his eyes, like a beast that chooses people to devour.

"The 14th fleet, and a small artificial planet!"

"Someone is targeting us, and none of you have found out who the other person is!"

The air in the hall was almost frozen.

"Lord Baron, we have too many enemies...... someone muttered quietly.

Boom!

Before the words fell, the whispering nobleman burst his head and died tragically on the spot.

No one thought that just a simple sentence could make William kill people on the spot.

William is domineering, but he is by no means a murderous person internally, otherwise it would not have been possible to develop the Nicholas family to this point in an extreme period of time.

An inexplicable irritability rose in his heart, and William waved his hand, "Let's all go down, investigate all the forces around you, and be sure to find out the other party!" ”

A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he inexplicably remembered the person who had the same face as himself.

"Is that you?"
