Chen Gong's face didn't show too much surprise, firstly, most of his understanding of the Central Continent came from some secret understandings in the Boli Business Federation back then, and secondly, with his current strength, although he could not be above the national power, but a monk in the Tribulation Period already had enough capital to not be restrained by these secular forces.

Looking at Chen Gong's face without any emotional fluctuations, Stanley couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, even if he had exercised extremely good scheming and city government in the power struggle, he couldn't imagine that before his dazzling identity background, there could be someone who could be completely unmoved.

"The European Empire is a very powerful country. But you plan to go to the Yanlong Empire, why don't you enter by land, but instead come to this dangerous sea of nothingness?" Chen Gong asked lightly.

Stanley glanced at Chen Gong a little strangely, as the weaker party, he was quite simple, and did not dwell too much on other questions, and replied directly: "The mysterious Yanlong Empire, although it has made some gestures of openness and communication, but in recent years, with the transfer of domestic power, its state religion of Sun Worship seems to be more inclined to close off the country, prohibit all external exchanges, and refuse any contact with forces, even I, the envoy of the European Empire, have been denied entry. However, my mission is extremely important, so I plan to take a detour from the Sea of Nothingness to see if I can find a gap in the vast coastline of the Yanlong Empire, and enter the territory of Yanlong before making a final effort. ”

The exchanges between countries, with Chen Gong's current power, it seems that he is not qualified to participate in it, and he understands Stanley's intentions, and Chen Gong has no intention of wading into this pool of troubled waters, but the person has been rescued, and naturally there is no reason to throw people back, so he took out a low-level pill from the storage ring, handed it to Stanley, and said: "This pill can restore some of your vitality, look at your appearance, you still received some dark injuries in the previous battle, if you leave it alone, there will be some small troubles in the future." Plus, I'll send you to land, and you'll be on your own. Of course, as a reward, you can tell me about some of the major events that are happening in the Source Realm right now. ”

Looking at the ring on Chen Gong's finger flashing an inconspicuous light, and then a fragrant elixir appeared in front of his eyes, a trace of surprise flashed in Stanny's eyes, with his knowledge, he naturally knew the storage magic weapon of the cultivator, and the storage ring was the highest level of existence among them.

Carefully taking the elixir handed by Chen Gong, Stanley's tone of voice couldn't help but carry a hint of respect, compared to the development and openness of scientific and technological civilization, the Xiuzhen civilization has always been quite mysterious, especially those powerful monks who can fight against thousands of troops with the strength of one person, and even the royal family like Stanley must be cautious.

"It turns out that Mr. Zong is a powerful cultivator, could it be that Mr. Zong is from the Yanlong Empire, in this case, it is really good. Stanley didn't take the pill immediately, but put it into his spatial bracelet, although this bracelet also has the function of storing items, but its space size and stability are far inferior to the cultivator's storage magic weapon.

Perhaps it was because of the long-term cultivation at sea and the relatively closed environment in the Red Blood Mountain Range that Chen Gong had a strong interest in Stanley, an outsider to scientific and technological civilization, so Chen Gong did not mean to refuse Stanny's initiative to talk, but said with some amusement: "It's good that I'm a cultivator, but why do you think I'm from the Yanlong Empire? Can't I be a monk from the Evil Horse Continent?"

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Stanley became more and more sure that Chen Gong was from the Yanlong Empire, and he said with a little excitement: "It seems that Mr. Zong is really a powerful cultivator of the Yanlong Empire, because the current Evil Horse Continent has fallen into the hands of demons, and the entire Evil Horse Continent is blocked by a thick demonic aura, we can't enter, and the cultivators there can't come out." ”

Chen Gong's eyebrows raised slightly, in just a few years, he really didn't expect such a big event to happen in the Evil Horse Continent. He didn't pay attention to or deny Stanley's suspicious speculation, but several figures flashed in his mind, including the one-armed Guan Shengwei, the organic and tenacious Li Pan, and the enchanting Qingmei......

Looking at Chen Gong, who was a little distracted, Stanley's heart suddenly gave birth to a bold idea, this idea was suppressed by his reason at the beginning, but this idea was like a fire, no matter how much it was suppressed, it could not be completely extinguished, but constantly burned and assimilated his remaining reason.

Although the Yanlong Empire is powerful and mysterious, it is an extremely conservative country, unlike other civilizations, they do not like to communicate with the outside world, especially for technological civilizations with many technologies, so Stanny does not have much hope for the results that his mission can achieve.

It's just that the current European Empire is in an extraordinary period, and the current emperor Euro VII has reigned for more than 300 years, and he has already changed from the former wise saint to a twilight old man, and it is urgent to choose a suitable heir to the throne.

Stanley was neither the eldest son nor the most favored son of the Euro VII among the princes, and the likelihood of him becoming the emperor of the powerful country of the Eurasian Empire was not very high. However, the attraction of the Supreme Throne was too great, and he would not give up the slightest hope no matter what, so under the current delicate situation at home and abroad, he chose to send an envoy to the Yanlong Empire to seek the help of this powerful, ancient, conservative, and mysterious cultivation realm.

Actions like this have been attempted by the other Central Seven Kingdoms, including some countries of the Four Continents, but without exception they have all failed, and no progress has been made, not even the Yanlong Empire has entered. This magical and powerful country, with all land borders under a powerful blockade known as enchantments, and a limited number of entrances guarded by rigid cultivators, who are attacked indiscriminately if they approach unguarded.

Of course, the path of the Sea of Nothingness has also been thought of, but the Sea of Nothingness is not only a dangerous place of death for cultivators, but also for people of other civilizations, the strange environment that devours energy and the powerful and mysterious sea beasts make all the adults who are ready to go out be discouraged.

When Chen Gong was about to let Xiao Jianxing take Stanley down to rest, Stanny, who seemed a little emotional, suddenly spoke: "Mr. Zong, there is one thing, I must ask you for help, I can provide an extremely generous reward!"

Chen Gong frowned slightly, he didn't like troublesome things, being able to promise to send His Royal Highness the prince to the territory of the Boli Business Federation was already the limit of what he could do, if the prince in front of him didn't know how to advance or retreat, he didn't mind sending him back to the rescue cabin again.

Seeing Chen Gong's dissatisfied expression, Stanley's heart trembled fiercely, but if this matter succeeded, then he would become a strong contender for the heir to the imperial throne, and the huge temptation suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and continued: "Mr. Zong, I know that you cultivators need a large number of energy stones to cultivate, and our European Empire, as a powerhouse in the Central Continent, can provide Mr. Zong with enough energy stones. ”

Chen Gong raised his eyebrows and did not speak, but Xiao Jianxing next to him showed a very excited expression. As a participant in the research work of the goblin airship, he knows how huge the demand for energy stones is in this kind of research work, and if there are really any results in the future, as a scientific and technological product, the energy stones consumed by these things are even more astronomical, so he is extremely sensitive to the three words of energy stones during this time.

Xiao Jianxing's expression naturally fell into Stanley's eyes, which made him a little happy, but Chen Gong's indifferent expression made the trace of joy in his heart diluted a lot, so that he had to continue: "Since Mr. Zong can swim in the Sea of Nothingness, I think it is still different from other cultivators who are not willing to communicate with the outside world, at least the sea ship you are on is enough to show that you are not so exclusive to scientific and technological civilization, and you must have some understanding of these." The scale of our mining of power stones is extremely huge, so when I say 'enough' power stones, I am not lying to me. ”

In fact, Chen Gong still has a certain interest in Stanley's proposal, after all, he is now a person who drags his family, thousands of mouths are waiting for him to make money to buy rice for the pot, but to be able to make a prince of a technological empire make such a big empty check in front of him, thinking about what he wants him to help will definitely not be simple.

Chen Gong smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness Stanley, I have a lot of interest in your proposal, but I have three questions that you need to answer truthfully, if you can't satisfy me, you still haven't said it before." ”

When Stanley heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Zong, just ask, and I will answer truthfully." ”

Chen Gong took care of himself and found a place to sit down in the comprehensive area, motioning for Stanley to sit next to him, while Xiao Jianxing consciously went to prepare tea.

"First question, I do have some understanding of scientific and technological civilization, what you said about the large-scale mining of power stones, I can naturally imagine its output, but we cultivators don't have much demand for power stones below the blue crystal, and how much can His Highness provide for the power stones above the blue crystal?" Chen Gong said.

Stanley's heart jumped, Chen Gong's words really hit his weakness, in terms of the number of power stones alone, with the development density and development intensity of scientific and technological civilization, it is definitely far beyond the cultivation civilization, after all, the application of energy stones has penetrated into every detail of life in scientific and technological civilization. However, the energy stones above the aquamarine are almost exclusively for the army, and the powerful battle mecha needs citrine as an energy source, and even some warships as trump cards need to be powered by green crystal energy.

Ignoring Stanny's somewhat solemn expression, Chen Gong continued: "The second question, even if His Highness's country can come up with high-grade energy stones that satisfy me, can His Highness really call the shots, or rather, such high-level energy stones are all His Highness's private treasures?"
