With the help of Kabbalah, who made a makeshift cameo appearance in the "mobile crematorium", the dwarven mercenaries cremated all the bodies of the 50 victims on the Astrequenting into ashes in just two hours, ready to take them back for burial after the operation was over. However, as they prepare to deal with the Astute, Scardo has some disagreements with the Goblin Captain of the Enterprise.

The destruction must be destroyed, and it is impossible for the dwarves to leave a airship with a very complete main body here with peace of mind just because this is the backward Nanfeng Continent. Don't look at this thing as a "civilian version", but many of the technologies on it still can't just fall into the hands of other countries.

Scardo advocated blowing it up and heading out right away, as time was of the essence, and the captain of the Enterprise wanted to spend a little more time removing the parts that could still be used on the Astute.

Because the Enterprise had discovered a serious accident before, which caused the airship to be grounded, the first search and rescue team did not take the Enterprise with them when they set off, and it was not until they did not return on time that the branch urgently repaired the Enterprise and organized the second batch of search and rescue teams. The captain was very worried that the airship would suddenly "lie down" on the way, so he hoped to get some parts in case of emergency.

The dispute ended with Scardo giving in, as they would later need to conduct a wide search with the Enterprise to find another airship, the Voyager, so it was necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the Enterprise. Coupled with the fact that it was getting late at this time and it was suddenly raining, the airship was easily in distress when it rose into the air in such weather, so Scardo could only agree to the captain's request to stay in this place for one night and wait for the rain to stop tomorrow morning before setting off.

At dinner time, the dwarves who had participated in the daytime burial work had no appetite to eat, and Weiss and Ling Lan simply took two mouthfuls of dry bread. And the goblin first mate on the ship can't eat meat because of high blood lipids, so when he passed by the canteen with his cauliflower soup, the green soup suddenly made everyone present change their faces, and they covered their mouths and rushed to escape from the canteen, so that the first mate who didn't leave the cabin during the day was a little unclear.

"Is cauliflower soup so scary?"

Rushing out of the cafeteria, Weiss and Ling Lan ran directly to the observation cabin at the stern of the ship before stopping. At this time, Weiss noticed that he had unknowingly grabbed Ling Lan's hand and ran to the present, but fortunately, the other party didn't understand what "the difference between men and women" was, even if Weiss couldn't help touching it twice, she didn't care at all.

It is worth mentioning that although Ling Lan has been practicing guns since she was a child, her hands have not practiced the daunting rough "old man's hands" except that the joints are a little hard, which has a lot to do with the fact that she got the chess pieces at the age of 12 and her physique has been greatly strengthened and improved. Otherwise, with her martial arts intensity, she would have changed to a "female man" who has been trained into eight-pack abs by ordinary girls.

Wess had probed Ling Lan's tone before, and knew that the other party was still a pawn without a "master", and he happened to be the king without a flag, so he really wanted to invite the other party to join his team. But from the time Ling Lan knew that Weiss was the "king" to the present, although the other party had been with him, he had never expressed his intention to join the group.

You must know that not all chess piece owners are interested in the game of Wang Qi, and some warriors with strong self-esteem would rather practice slowly on their own than participate in game competitions, and rely on pleasing the gods in exchange for rewards. Ling Lan's master "Donglin Spear King" Li Tongchen is such a person, and Ling Lan, as his apprentice, may have the same idea. But in the end, what really made Weiss hesitate was his own conditions.

Weiss, who escaped from the Principality of Baker, has only a "Black King" on his body, and he can barely last for three months if he saves money. If Weiss wants to form his own team, in addition to attaching to which country to recruit for him, I'm afraid he will have to find the kind of stupid, true love fan and "pictured ♂" dead who would rather bring his own living expenses than mix with him.

Well, being handsome can barely be regarded as an intangible capital.

At this time, in the tail observation cabin with little space, there were only two people, Weiss and Ling Lan, it was pouring rain outside, and there were lightning and thunder from time to time, the atmosphere of lonely men and widows was quite good, so Weiss planned to take the opportunity to ...... Ling Lan Invite "Team Up".

"Ling Lan, I want to ......"

"Wright, did you hear any strange sounds?" As soon as Wess spoke, he was interrupted by Ling Lan in the middle of his words, and he forcibly blocked it back, making Wess feel like crying without tears, but he didn't dare to show it.

“...... What do you hear?"

"I can't hear it clearly, but the sound must have come from that direction. ”

Ling Lan stretched out his hand and pointed at the Astute not far away. So Weiss walked to the window, put his ear to the window and listened, and sure enough, in the noisy rain and lightning, he faintly heard some movements that seemed to be screaming, Weiss immediately thought of the goblin technicians who were still on the Astute to dismantle parts, and suddenly secretly said "not good"!

"Ling Lan, you immediately go and call Kabala and Scardo, and ask them to hurry to the communication room, and say that something may have happened to the Astute!"

At the critical moment, Weiss couldn't care about the matter of "sister", and after instructing Ling Lan, he quickly ran towards the communication room of the Enterprise. The goblin technicians had brought a short-range communicator with them to keep in touch with the Enterprise, so Wess wanted to know what was going on over there as soon as possible.

As soon as he ran into the communication room, Weiss saw that the goblin in charge of communication was staring at a suspicious book with a lewd face, so he went up and snatched the book in his hand, and then pressed the other party's bald head (goblin's national hairstyle) and twisted it towards the communicator.

"Quick! contact the technicians on the Astrequent, and ask them what's going on over there?"

"But, but it won't use this kind of celestial communicator!" replied pitifully to the held goblin.

"Huh!?"

It turns out that although the design intention of the communicator in this world is the same as that of the earth, and it is even suspected of being a copycat, the working principle is completely different. The communicator developed based on the conductive force technology uses the ubiquitous magic elements between heaven and earth, and the advantage is that this thing does not need to be charged, and the built-in spar slices will automatically absorb the magic elements and provide a steady stream of energy for the device. The downside is that in bad weather like the one now, the highly active magic element can seriously interfere with the communicator, making it unable to function properly.

When the communicator failed, Weiss wanted to know the situation on the Astute, so he could only run over and take a look. After Wess waited for Ling Lan to bring Kabbalah and Scardo over, he gave a brief explanation, and Scardo immediately gathered his men and brought half of the dwarven mercenaries to follow Wess and them towards the Astute.

As soon as they got on the airship, everyone found that in addition to the stench that had not yet dissipated, there was another breath of blood in the air, and there was a cry for help from the depths of the cabin. Seeing that Ling Lan was still holding her spear, Weiss told her to guard the door to answer.

The dwarves who broke through followed the sound to the power room of the Astrequent, only to see a dwarven mercenary at the door, with a cannonball axe stuck in his back, the blade of the axe at the front of the 25 cm had completely submerged into the armor, and the murderer's strength was even greater than that of ordinary dwarven warriors. Scardo walked up to the fallen dwarf, took off his visor and reached out to touch the carotid artery, and shook his head helplessly at the others behind him.

"It's dead. "Scardo has a total of 6 mercenaries here to assist and protect the goblin technicians, and the dwarf in front of him is the leader of this group of mercenaries.

"Boss, the murderer must not have run far yet, let's chase after it!"

"Don't act rashly, one group will go into the power room to see if there are any survivors, and the second group will be on the spot. ”

A cautious Scardo realizes that the killer is not only powerful, but also insidious and cunning. The dead dwarf was Scardo's old comrade-in-arms, who had served in the army for 8 years like him, and was a veteran of combat, but the corpse of the other party showed no signs other than a fatal wound on the back, apparently unaware of the threat from behind before he was killed.

"Lao Keng, do you think it's possible that the chess pieces did it?"

"It's not quite like it, if it's a combat system, it's not difficult to split it in half with an axe, but it can't be ruled out that the other party deliberately left his hand to confuse our judgment. ”

The two were analyzing the situation in front of them, and the mercenaries who entered the power room walked out of it after a short time with a seriously injured and unconscious goblin, only this one survived among the four goblin technicians, and the other three had all been killed, and there were two dwarf mercenaries who died with them, both of whom were attacked from behind in the dimly lit power room, and at this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the direction of the stern......
