Chapter 360: Approaching Step by Step
The icebreaker slowly sailed towards the opposite shore, and Hong Qi and the others also smelled the slightest unpleasant smell of burning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Oh? It must be powered by a substance similar to diesel, right? Can it only be said that shipping itself is ahead of other technologies?
Hong Qi knew that the Endless Sea, which stretched to the northeast and even beyond, was the only joint development project of the current dynasty.
However, when it comes to joint development, the only countries that really participate are the North, the East, and the Middle Kingdom of Alexandria, and the reason is because of the geographical location.
The second is that the Northern Kingdom is considered to be the best in terms of iron materials, and with the funds of the Middle Kingdom and the seafaring technology of the Eastern Kingdom, there is basically no need for the help of other kingdoms.
At least nominally, the exploration of the Endless Sea was one of the main directions of the dynasty's operations.
Feeling the slightly slow speed of the ship, Hong Qi knew that it was unlikely that he would be able to reach the other side of the shore quickly this time.
I hope something doesn't happen, I'm already the best place to help myself deal with emergencies, but peace is the best outcome.
Thinking so, Hong Qi never gave up using his spiritual power to explore, as if he was expecting the so-called situation to happen.
"Hey, Hong Qi, is it really possible that what you just said will happen?"
At the head of the icebreaker, Gordon didn't have anything to cook food for, so he had to chat with Hong Qi.
As for the rest of the companions, they are still getting used to the uncomfortable swing on the ship, but as things stand, it will take a while to improve.
"I don't know, that's probably the worst-case scenario, but think about how to negotiate terms with that guy if we really run into that kind of combat power that is beyond what we can handle. ā
"I think it can, but you have to know that we jointly resisted his proposal not long ago, and I guess if we really need his help this time, it will definitely pay an unimaginable price. ā
"Let's see, gambling shouldn't be too demanding. ā
The main thing about the flood is to take action to prevent unimaginable emergencies from happening.
If the opponent is too strong to be useless even if everyone plays, gambling becomes a breakthrough point.
The rules of gambling are one of the rules left by the god of chance and gambling.
Because the kitchen knife in Gordon's hand that can change its shape at will is from his hand, which also means that there must be a gambling connection above.
Winner takes all, this is a rule that Hong Qi learned in the library of the afterlife, as it literally means, the winner gets everything the other party has.
But this move also carries a certain amount of risk, and if the opponent wins, then the loser will lose everything.
However, Hong Qi's judgment is that even if he loses the gamble, the person who pays the price should not be him but Gordon, and this speculation is based on the fact that the other party is very likely to be from the identity of the demon.
The ship was still moving, and the center of the ship was a place reserved for special people with money and power, and it seemed that the structure of the place itself made it difficult for Hong Qi's spiritual power to disperse there.
The remaining suspicious area is the VIP area, but the other party really doesn't dare to act arbitrarily there...... Right?
Originally, the reason why Hong Qi would think this was very simple, that is, because the existence of being able to stay in the VIP area was basically a person who could not be provoked.
If you want to provoke, you will usually involve a large number of forces, and even someone can represent a force in itself, which should not be what the other party wants to provoke.
But Hong Qi ignored a point, what if the other party really wanted his magic knowledge, and even did anything to do it?!
The VIP area, which is only accessible for those who spend a lot of money or have special pipes.
But today, it's a different kind of hell on earth, just because of the black cloak.
"You'll regret it...... Target. ā
After a rich man in a precious fur said this sentence with all his strength, his whole face was no longer bloodless, and he fell to the ground at the same time.
He wasn't the first to fall, but the last person to fall to the ground besides the black-cloaked being.
"It's actually that the Great Sword Master level can last so long in my poison? This is quite admirable, um... There is still room for improvement. ā
Rustling...... Rustling.
The first appearance seems to praise the other person, but after the next sentence it changes into a kind of comment at the end of the experiment.
At the same time, the other party was picking up a quill pen and recording everything, as if he was thinking about what else could be improved about this poison.
"Damn magician!
But at this moment, someone suddenly exuded a fiery aura from his body from the state of suspended animation, as if he had relied on the fighting energy of the flame attribute to resist the toxin and tried to fight back.
"Useless ......"
The other party whispered, only to see a trace of blue ripples emanating from the center of the other party, and in the next moment, the person's limbs were frozen.
This......
He was already stupefied by the scene in front of him, his proud vindictiveness was actually cracked by the other party at will, and his limbs were also frozen.
I don't know if it was my limbs, but the man could feel his internal organs as if they were being held by an ice hand, as if he would die the next moment if the terrifying being in front of him was willing.
"Don't worry, usually when dealing with this kind of person, I usually cut you into a pillar first, and then slowly carry out stone experiments. ā
"After all...... It's still a bit difficult to find a pseudo-transcendent as an experiment. ā
The moment the words ended, an unimaginable scream appeared in the VIP area, as if it was a cry produced after using up his life.
"Ah!!h
Oops...... Is it really in the VIP area?
What he sensed in an instant was an unimaginable concentration of elements and a magical reaction, which made Hong Qi know that he should have to use his worst plan before.
"Alright...... Come out early, or you'll die even worse. ā
A black cloaked figure wearing a purple robe appeared outside the entrance to the VIP area, and upon closer inspection, he could see that the opponent's right hand appeared to be holding a skeleton-like object.
"Ah!! there's a magician!"
One of the women closest to the other side instantly screamed and tried to run away.
But the other party smiled, and then waved his hand to let a green wind blow on the lady's body.
In an instant, the man turned pale and fell to the ground.
Damn it...... A transcendent mage who specializes in ice and poison, so where do I have an advantage?
Hong Qi thought helplessly.
