Chapter 177: The Duel Arena
Luke had just made some moves when he was inspecting the airship, and the buoyancy of the airship was adjusted to the maximum by him, and the theoretical upper limit of this type of airship was 20,000 meters. At this height, looking down to see the arc of the planet, even if he could see a larger ocean visually, Edgar would not be able to receive much of the power of the ocean.
In this way, Edgar is just a slightly more powerful four-star character, probably slightly worse than Shelley.
The environment of high altitude, low temperature, low pressure, and low oxygen will further weaken Edgar. Luke was well prepared for this extreme high-altitude duel, and in the secret room of the dormitory, he used secret techniques to bless himself with skin breathing for a period of time to ensure his body's oxygen intake.
At the same time, his troll bloodline is inherently more adaptable to harsh environments than humans. When both mentally and physically ready to face the high-altitude environment, the process of adaptation is much faster than that of Ed, who is ignorant of the high-altitude environment.
Luke looked at Edgar, who was panting for breath, summoned the Greedy Red Dragon Spear in his hand, and after performing a handsome trick, he poked a shot at the top shield of the airship at his feet. Not only did the tip of the gun disappear, but the barrel of the gun was also stabbed into a large section.
At this moment, Edgar still didn't understand what weakening magic the other party had unleashed on him, the temperature around him was freezing cold, and his mind was dizzy for a while.
But he still took the two-handed sword from behind his back and held it in his hand, and the water on the sword was entangled. It's just that the water flows like a mountain stream, and it is far from the surging tide of the tide.
The connection with the sea is getting weaker and weaker.
"Detective Meteor, you are despicable! Do you think you'll be able to beat me easily? I've never lost in the dueling arena, and it's the same today. ”
Edgar inhaled deeply, then exhaled slowly. The experience of many life and death duels has given him how to deal with the dilemma, the first thing is to stabilize his mentality first, and now his physical state has declined for some reasons, but it is not impossible to overcome.
There must be no slackening in the fighting spirit to fight for victory.
Mental concentration, the state is really much better.
Edgar made a defensive stance, and he felt that if he gave himself a little time, his body would recover.
Luke pulled the spear out of the shield under his feet, and the air bag filled with gas shot out through the small hole in the tip of the gun, making a high-pitched whistling.
Then, a spark shot out of Luke's eye. When the spark came into contact with the gas ejected from the airship's airbags, it ignited instantly. Luke quickly retreated, and a tongue of fire more than ten meters long erupted outward from the air port.
Edgar was dumbfounded.
Didn't the Alchemist Association of Angry Waves City say...... Is the Changxiang-class hydrogen airship absolutely safe? When hydrogen is added to the stabilizer, it will never ignite?
What's going on now?
Isn't that something that can be lit!
And, what are you okay with an airship?
"Detective, plug that hole quickly, if the airship explodes, you won't survive!"
Luke stabbed another hole in his feet with the Greedy Dragon, then lit it up, and another tongue of fire erupted from the airship. Luke took a step back, continued to pierce, and said to Edgar, "I wanted to make our duel a little more difficult, so I added something to the airship's airbag. You may not know that the hydrogen stabilizer developed by the Alchemist Association of Angry Waves City is actually not stable on its own, and a little disrupting agent can make it completely ineffective.
Are you feeling nervous and excited right now?
That's the atmosphere of a duel. ”
Watching Detective Meteor poke holes in the airship one after another, and light the hydrogen gas that spews out, Edgar finally understands why Jomington called him a madman.
He's such a madman.
Seeing more and more tongues of fire erupting from the hull, Edgar panicked. But he knew...... Meteor did this in order to lure himself into taking the initiative to attack. The body has not yet recovered, and with these fire snakes blocking it, it will take more strength to fight yourself.
Can't be impulsive, he definitely doesn't dare to detonate the airship. Seeing that he was unmoved, he would definitely stop this kind of destruction that harmed others and himself.
Edgar held his position and continued to assume a defensive stance, adjusting his breathing to allow his body to recover.
"Inspector...... I'm not going to fall into your trap, stop! ”
Luke continued to retreat, poking holes in his feet.
Unmoved, Edgar assumes that the meteorite will stop.
He'll stop ......
Will definitely stop......
It didn't do him any good, the airship exploded, he would die the same, and he was going to stop soon......
This is definitely the last one, and he will stop......
Why doesn't he stop.
Edgar watched as Luke stepped back a hundred meters, lighting a fiery serpent with each step back. At this time, nearly two hundred fire snakes erupted in a line, which looked very spectacular and thrilling.
The airship can turn into a large flaming fireball at any moment.
Edgar didn't dare to wait any longer, if such a fire was not extinguished as soon as possible, even if he won this duel, he would be buried in the flames. Edgar inhaled and exhaled quickly, and when he felt like he could fight, he rushed towards Luke with his sword.
Every time I take a step, layers of water ripple under my feet. As the ripples intensified, a wave rose behind Edgar. With the help of the waves, Edgar's charge accelerated. As the speed increased, the waves also rose higher and higher, forming a tide like a mountain and a sea, and followed the sword momentum towards Luke.
At this time, Luke had already reached the bow of the airship, and behind him was the sky.
There is no way back.
Faced with the crashing waves, and Edgar in the middle of the waves, Luke once again stabbed the Greedy Dragon Spear into the body of the boat at his feet. Only this time he didn't pull out the gun, but kicked it in the head with all his might.
The spear head was raised forward, and a large blade of fire cut a cut in the hull. The blade sliced along the hole that Luke had stabbed through, and the raging flames erupted outward, creating waves of fire that enveloped Edgar's water.
Edgar was really stupid this time.
He never thought that Detective Meteor really set the airship on fire, was this going to die together?
Wrapped in flames, Edgar struggled to hold on. He did everything he could to condense the water to counteract the heat of the fire. And the water he summoned was a drop in the bucket under this fire.
The water shield outside the body became thinner and thinner, and the entire sky outside seemed to be set on fire.
Edgar knew that he would die here this time, even if he didn't get burned by the fire, he would fall and die without the airship. But having an inspector from the Imperial Intelligence Bureau to bury himself doesn't seem to be a loss.
In desperation, Edgar searched for the meteorite in the fire, to see if he would die before he did.
And then he saw ...... Meteor summons a creature that resembles a dragon but is not the size of a dragon, and rides on it. The creature leapt from the airship before the fire caught up, then spread its wings...... Flew away......
Fly away!
It turned out that the clown was just me.
Seeing the beautiful creature disappear into this fire field with the Meteorite Detective, Edgar could only shake his head with a wry smile.
At this moment, the fire broke through the water shield and swallowed Edgar inside.
The square of the Government Affairs Hall Building in Nutao City.
When the airship rose and disappeared into the viewing range of the naked eye, the spectators who came to watch the battle did not know what they could see, so they could only look blankly at the sky and wait for the result of the duel to come out.
However, those who have an identity can use binoculars to keep tracking and observing the Changxiang-class airship, but they can't see what is happening in the duel arena on the top of the airship.
But it can be said that the hydrogen airship is excellent.
"This altitude has definitely exceeded 10,000 meters, and this is the advantage of hydrogen airship. More lift means more load, and the performance of a steam airship at high altitude is far inferior to that of a hydrogen airship. ”
"Yes, with this duel to promote our hydrogen airship, those stubborn old men in the imperial capital will definitely replace all those old steam airships with hydrogen airships.
Our airships can sell all over the world. ”
"Then we can keep selling stabilizers and keep making money for us. My investment in the hydrogen airship is finally paying off. ”
"How much did you invest in a hydrogen airship?"
"This ...... Not convenient to tell you, but very much ......"
"I also invested a lot, and hydrogen is the mainstream of the airship in the future. The wealth it has brought me will allow me and my descendants not to have to worry about money anymore. ”
"Hahaha......"
Just when a group of people were showing off how much money they would make on a hydrogen airship, someone suddenly shouted: "Look, the airship has exploded!" It's, it's burning. ”
The officials and businessmen all held up their binoculars in horror and looked at the sky.
In fact, there is no need to use a telescope, and the fire is clearly visible to the naked eye on the ground.
The Changxiang-class hydrogen airship that was the dueling arena caught fire, and it burned in front of everyone's eyes. Everyone shouted in the direction of the fire in the sky, and some fell to the ground on the spot......
Doesn't it mean that hydrogen with stabilizers is very safe?
How did it burn up!
Moreover, on such an occasion, such a serious accident occurred under the gaze of all the citizens of Futao City, and it was impossible to hide it.
It is conceivable that a hydrogen airship with such a major safety hazard will not be dared to ride even if it is produced. The hydrogen airship was given high hopes by all walks of life in Angry Waves City, and the hopes of all investors were destroyed with a fire, and all investments will be lost.
Investors think about their burnt money.
The audience happily watched the fireworks in the sky.
As the protagonists of this incident, the two people on the burning airship are forgotten by most people.
Everyone from the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau and the backbone of the Innovation Society looked at the fire in the sky, and their hearts seemed to have lost an important part.
Detective Meteor hadn't known each other for too long, but sometimes it felt like they'd known each other for a lifetime. He led everyone to open up a world in the city of Angry Waves in a short period of time, and no matter what his initial attempt to get acquainted with Detective Meteor was, he couldn't deny that he was impressed by his charm and determination.
The accident sent Detective Meteorite away.
Who still has what it takes to lead this team and continue on this path?
Mrs. Mihir looked at the fireball in the sky and said in frustration, "He shouldn't have gotten on that airship, and it would take him to understand what he meant to us." ”
MP Iber said: "The failure of the hydrogen airship investment hurts me, but the loss of Detective Meteor hurts me even more. He has saved me many times and he is a friend that I can trust completely. ”
Viscount Iscolan said in annoyance: "I should hold on a little longer, I should stop him and prevent him from getting on the airship." I put everything in my family on him, but I didn't expect this kind of accident.
We're going to have an emergency meeting to choose someone who can replace Detective Meteor, and then report back to Her Highness the Eldest Princess what happened here. The aftermath of Detective Meteorite's departure from us must be dealt with as soon as possible to reduce our losses......
Without a meteorite detective, we ...... We're all going to be finished......"
Iscolan was very pessimistic.
But at this time, a voice sounded beside them: "What happened? I'm not dead yet, are you going to choose someone to replace me?
Iscoran, you must be coveting my place. ”
It's Detective Meteorite!
A few people looked excitedly in the direction of the sound, and sure enough, it was Detective Meteor! He was already standing beside several of them at no moment, and listened to everything they had just said.
Viscount Iscolan was not disappointed when he saw Luke, and he stepped forward to give Luke a tight hug regardless of his identity.
"You always work miracles, I saw you board that airship, but ......
Either way, it's good that you're alive. Forget what I said...... I'd love to take your place, but I know I can't. I have never recognized your status as I do now, you are our leader, and always will be. ”
After Viscount Iscollan let go of Luke, Lady Mihir also hugged him.
Although her emotions were not as excited as Iscoran's, she was also happy: "Please don't do this kind of thing that makes us scared in the future." If you're trying to make us feel like you're irreplaceable, I'll admit you've succeeded. Next time, please tell us about your plans, we are a team! ”
Councillor Ebur then hugged Luke: "I have always believed that you can definitely do miracles, and this time we have witnessed your miracles." Tell us, what's going on?
You should be on that burning airship at this moment, why are you suddenly standing next to us. ”
Luke was finally able to speak.
"Of course I flew down. I'll find an opportunity to explain the details to you later, now that Edgar is dead, and Jomington is at the Oulu Academy. The explosion of the Changxiang-class hydrogen airship was a heavy blow to the official and business system of Angry Waves City.
We fought back right away.
In Cape Harbor, my men have gone to receive the steam warships of the Saxon Project.
Here, we need to search all the institutions related to the hydrogen airship research project as quickly as possible. Indictment of the City Alchemy Society for the murder of the CIA Inspector......"
