Chapter 532: Old Acquaintances
"I didn't expect to go to Antarctica........."
Standing in the airship field, looking at the huge airship in front of her, Mary only felt that everything in front of her did not seem like reality.
Suddenly, Professor Pamar of the Faculty of History invited him to his seminar.
Suddenly, Professor Pamar said that he was going to go on an expedition to Antarctica.
Suddenly, he was going to take himself with him.
It wasn't until she learned what had happened from Duanmu Huai that Mary finally understood what had happened.
To be honest, after calculating the cost of this expedition, Mary couldn't help but shudder.
It wasn't because of excitement or fear, it was simply because of the huge amount of money......... That's an astronomical amount that Mary, a middle-class woman, could never have imagined in her lifetime.
Not to mention, Duanmu Huai is not the kind of person who wants to endure hardship, so their voyage is also arranged to be extremely luxurious. First depart by airship from Fog to Tierra del Fuego, and then take a boat from Tierra del Fuego to Antarctica. Of course, the facilities that should be deployed are already in place.
In fact, if he could, Duanmu Huai would like to go directly to Antarctica by airship.
On the one hand, it is because of convenience, and on the other hand, it is ......... Well, do you know where Rallayer is?
Lalaye is located at 47°9' N and 126°43' W......... That's right, just west of Tierra del Fuego.
If you turn a corner, you're going to have a seafood barbecue with Cthulhu.
Although Duanmu Huai is not afraid of Cthulhu, he is not willing to let himself be covered with a fishy smell, right?
It's a pity that with the climatic conditions of Antarctica, the airplane is okay, and the airship is a bit difficult to do. So Duanmu Huai had no choice but to take a boat from Tierra del Fuego to Antarctica, hoping that Cthulhu would not be stupid to come and make trouble for himself.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Duanmu."
Professor Pamar's face was also red with excitement at the moment, clenching Duanmu Huai's hands. It is good to have a rich and not afraid to spend money, if it is public funds, let alone take an airship, they have to take the worst third-class cabin by boat, after all, public funds are limited, in this kind of investigation, it is natural to break a penny in half to spend, life and transportation can naturally be saved, where is like Duanmu Huai, directly with a wave of his hand to charter an airship, such a comfortable investigation, and a few more times to Pamar will not be tired.
And now is the best time to go to Antarctica, although the rest of the place is about to enter winter at the moment, but the Antarctic is just summer, and the daylight hours are the longest, although the airship is not as fast as an airplane, but it is also much faster than a ship. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I wonder if my expedition team can still grab a starting line and occupy a good position!
While most people are elated, there are exceptions.
For example, Lorena.
"Huh? It's an airship again, so it won't happen again........."
"Miss Lorena? How do you call it? ”
Seeing the sad face of the girl who was usually always smiling, Mary also asked curiously, and Miss Lorena also sighed.
"Because when I came to the fog capital with the knight in an airship, there was a cultist murder on the airship......... It's tiring. ”
"Huh?! Killing, homicide incident??? ”
Hearing this, Mary was also surprised, after all, she had only seen this kind of thing in reasoning, where had she heard it in reality!
"No, but don't worry, Miss Lorena, this time Mr. Duanmu has chartered this airship, and there are no outsiders except us........."
"The murderer last time was the doctor on the airship."
“………………………”
Hearing this, Mary didn't have anything to say, but Duanmu Huai came over and patted Lorena on the head.
"Okay, don't worry, Lorena, I promise you, it's going to be okay this time."
"Huh?"
Soon, Lorena understood why Duanmu Huai would say that it must be okay this time.
Because this time he chartered the "Full Moon and Stars" that they took when they came.........
"Because of the murder, this airship has not been doing very well recently, and I just saw that the price was cheap, so I simply rented it."
“………………………”
Looking at the airship in front of her, Lorena was speechless.
There is also this kind of operation???
So Lorena finally figured out why Duanmu Huai was so confident, the crew of this ship had already been interrogated by Duanmu Huai, and everyone except the ship's doctor was innocent, which meant that they should not have any more problems. But......... Knight, wouldn't it be a bit too much for you to go back and forth with a sheep like this?
Although Lorena was helpless, Duanmu Huai didn't care at all, and he even introduced Mary.
"You see, this is it, this smoking room, where the victim was killed, and he drew a strange circle with his blood, and the walls were full of blasphemous runes......... Oh, it looks like it's all cleaned up now..............."
Hearing this, Mary's face turned white, and she looked at the smoking room as if she were looking at the entrance to hell, and even subconsciously took two steps back.
"By the way, where are you going to stay?"
"Please make sure to put me in a room away from here, thank you ..............."
As they spoke, they walked through the corridor to the observation deck, where the captain was waiting for them. Seeing Duanmu Huai, the captain also showed a warm smile and saluted Duanmu Huai.
"It's been a long time, sir, you're still the same."
"It's okay, but you don't look good."
"Hey, there's no way to ......... it."
Facing Duanmu Huai's ridicule, the captain also smiled bitterly. The previous murders did cause them a lot of trouble, and it was just a simple killing, but the problem was that cultists killed people, so that in the port docks, all kinds of rumors about the "Full Moon and Stars" were endless, and the soul of the man who was killed was trapped by evil magic, and now he is still wandering in the cabin, ready to take the souls of others, etc.........
Those who can take off the boat are all people who are unwilling to wronged themselves, and of course they are not willing to take an unfortunate airship. Therefore, the "Full Moon and Stars" has also been operating dismally in the past few months. Even the captain was a little disheartened and wanted to simply sell the airship——— but no one wanted it even if it changed hands.
At this time, Duanmu Huai saw the news and contacted the captain, who naturally would not forget this benefactor who saved himself and others from fire and water. If it weren't for Duanmu Huai and Lorena to make a move, let alone come back alive, I am afraid that they would have been buried in the sea with the airship, so they naturally agreed.
Anyway, there is no business now, so it's a good thing to be able to open.
The captain has decided that after this business is over, he will change the name of the Full Moon Star, otherwise he may not be able to receive any more guests in his life.
