Chapter 508: Goodbye Lauder
Bored wandering the streets, Chen Qing also rented a room in the inn, secretly killed several people, and let the evil ghosts read their memories, but they couldn't come up with a good solution, but they still stayed.
The reason why he didn't leave to find another way was because the two evil ghosts he sent at the beginning were getting closer and closer to him, and they seemed to be rushing to meet, not only the two of them, but even the fifth was moving in this direction again, which made Chen Qing look forward to it.
The speed at which the two evil ghosts went to this city was so slow that Chen Qing waited for more than a month, and he was about to vomit after eating the tasteless food here, these two guys were late, but they didn't meet Chen Qing directly.
Chen Qing left the inn and came to the street in confusion, slowly strolling along the street, getting closer and closer to the two evil ghosts, and stopped in front of a shop.
This is a shop specializing in metal crystals, and there are two metal men wearing external armor and looking majestic standing in front of the door, Chen Qing walked in, and immediately a metal man who was made into a woman greeted him, and his voice opened crisply.
"Are you selling metal crystals?"
Chen Qing glanced at him, then glanced at a metal man not far away who was wearing human clothes and looked a little status, and opened his mouth in a loud voice.
"Of course, I came to sell metal crystals, or I sold them in bulk, and I asked the steward to receive me. β
These words immediately attracted the attention of the metal man, and he waved his hand to the female metal man to step back, and said with a little respect.
"Since it's a distinguished guest, let's go inside. β
Chen Qing squinted and was invited into a secret room by this metal man, and sat down on the main seat unceremoniously, and the metal man also looked at whether there was anyone in the passage, then closed the door, and immediately knelt down in front of Chen Qing, and opened his mouth in a low voice.
"Master, I can't go to meet you in person, and I bother you to come over, hoping for forgiveness. β
Chen Qing snorted coldly, "Humans have learned a lot, but what about the other one?"
"He's still talking about business, and he can't take a break for the time being, and he'll see the master later. β
Waving his hand to let the other party get up, Chen Qing opened his mouth and asked, "Forget it, it seems that you have entered the metal crystal to control the metal man, let's talk about it, what have you gained over the years?"
The metal man hurriedly said, "Over the years, we have successfully mixed into the metal empire trade system, and we already have the power to take charge of some storefronts, and we have accumulated a lot of money. β
As soon as he heard this, Chen Qing rolled his eyes, now he is not short of money, let these two evil ghosts find out the news, these two are good, they are busy helping themselves make money, and they only become the store manager, which immediately disappointed him. However, it is not easy for these two evil ghosts, it is already a skill to survive in the metal empire, Chen Qing also said more.
Seeing Chen Qing's expression, the evil ghost who controlled the metal man was also a little ashamed, and continued to start pleading.
"Recently, something big has happened in the metal empire, and I don't know where a group of fairy realm powerhouses came from to make trouble everywhere, and they were wiped out after heavy losses, which made the overall strength of the metal empire plummet. Also, I don't know what happened, the five metal empires no longer seem to be monolithic, there is a fight between the high-level, and the gold empire has announced that it will become a country on its own. β
Hearing this, Chen Qing snorted coldly, "Hmph! The Sea of Stars has been destroyed, and the fleets and troops sent by the Metal Empire have all been wiped out, and even their sect leader is dead, so it's no wonder if it's not chaotic." I let those troublemakers out of me, a bunch of false gods, but when they arrived here, they became a fairyland, and they were exterminated, it's really sad and lamentable! Is there any other news?"
The destruction of those pseudo-gods made Chen Qing also feel a little sad, and secretly reminded himself that he must be cautious, one wrong step will fall into the point of no return.
The metal man's words came again, "There is also news that there is a new upstart in the metal empire, named Lauder, who advocates peaceful coexistence with other creatures, and has been secretly supported by some ancestors. β
Not long after the evil ghost of the metal man was split, he was sent to the metal empire, and he didn't know the relationship between Lao De and Chen Qing, and Chen Qing frowned when he heard Lao De's news. Originally, he discussed with Lauder and exchanged news during the war, but he didn't think that he did not participate in the war in the Star Sea, but returned to the metal empire to fight for power.
Seeing that this evil ghost had no other useful news, Chen Qing left some ordinary metal crystals at the bottom of the box, exchanged some money and strode away, and did not take these two evil ghosts away, just let them do what they like.
Seeing the two evil ghosts made Chen Qing a little disappointed, and the next thing was to wait for the slower Five, but he didn't expect that the Fifth entered the city, and the entire city was also surrounded by an army of metal men.
The noisy sound woke up the sleeping Chen Qing, he got up and dressed under the service of the sleeping Feng Wei, opened the window and looked out, and immediately saw the fleet floating in the sky, and a large number of metal people lined up towards the inn. The first person to ride on a tall metal horse turned out to be Lauder!
Feeling that No. 5 should also be near, but he didn't see a figure, Chen Qingyi frowned, turned around and asked the two phoenix guards to return to the Tower of Babel, waiting for Lauder to come to the door.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Come in!"
The knock on the door sounded, and Chen Qing's voice followed, and Lauder pushed the door in with a big grin, pulled a chair and sat opposite Chen Qing and asked.
"How did you get out?"
Chen Qing snorted coldly, "Hmph, the sea of stars has been destroyed, I don't believe you don't know." β
"The sea of stars is really ruined, I only know that the passage is cut off, and everything within a radius of thousands of miles is gone!"
Lauder had a metallic face, and Chen Qing didn't know if he was pretending to be stupid, so he nodded again.
"Wow Ka Ka, ruined in such a ruined second, this guy and that old thing can't get out again. β
As Lauder's laughter came out, this guy was still dancing, and Chen Qing's mind was jumping, but he was thoughtful about the old thing that Lauder said, if he guessed correctly, Lauder was talking about the soul of the god of machines.
Time passes, people's hearts are changing, this is a truth that Chen Qing knows very well, and he doesn't want to be entangled in the matter of Xinghai and the God of Machines anymore, so he asks directly.
"What about number five? I feel it being saved. β
"Bang dang!"
Lauder casually threw a black metal crystal on the table, and opened his mouth lazily.
"When I came back, its body had been destroyed, and the people were studying the metal crystal, and then they couldn't find anything, so I was going to come over. I'm busy these days, and I don't bother to find a new body for it. β
The latter words are just excuses, Lauder now has so many subordinates, just find a body, Chen Qing did not break it, but picked up the black metal crystal.
"Thank you!"
"Click!"
After thanking him, he crushed the metal crystal, and the No. 5 demon immediately flew out, circled around Chen Qing twice, and returned to his sea of consciousness to meet his companions.
Chen Qing's actions made Lauder a little embarrassed, and he immediately changed the topic.
"It's good that you're here, it just so happens that I have some political enemies, and you can help me kill them. β
This sentence is exactly in Chen Qing's arms, but now Lao De is no longer the Lao De of the past, not to mention that the situation has also been reversed, Lao De no longer needs to be attached to Chen Qingcun, but Chen Qing wants to take revenge, and he has to rely on him.
Without saying anything, Chen Qing slowly spoke, "Why should I help you?"
"We have an agreement! Do you want to go back on it?"
Lauder's words were a little urgent, and Chen Qing immediately asked, "Where were you during the Star Sea War?"
The meaning is obvious, the agreement is that Chen Qing will help Lauder climb to a high position, and Lauder will help the Xinghai humans destroy more metal man troops. But now that the sea of stars has been destroyed, there is no way to talk about the agreement.
"This ...... This ......"
Lauder was a little speechless, and then laughed, "Hehe, the prince of Qiuyue should have been killed by you, right?" Now that the Qiuyue Kingdom has protested, if I don't care about you, you will be hunted down by the Metal Empire and the Qiuyue Kingdom." β
This is purely his guess, anyway, something bad will happen to Chen Qing wherever he goes, and he is most likely sure that Chen Qing did it.
Chen Qing heard the threat in Lauder's voice, he smiled, but there was some sadness in his heart, a friend was gone!
"Okay, you arrange the other details, and I'll take care of the hands. But I can't help in vain, you help me find out where the people who escaped from the sea of stars are and how they are doing now. β
"Deal!"
Lauder simply stretched out his metal palm, Chen Qing high-fived him, the matter was settled, and Lauder immediately opened the chatterbox.
"It's good that you killed the Autumn Moon Prince this time, I'm being ostracized in the House of Representatives, and as soon as this incident came out, the Autumn Moon Kingdom made a fuss and diverted all its attention. This time, I am in charge of Chen Bing's border deterrence, and an ancestor led a team to the Qiuyue Kingdom to pacify, this is the route of action, you kill that ancestor for me. β
An envelope was pushed in front of Chen Qing by Lauder, Chen Qing picked it up and looked at it, and then looked at Lauder, "If you killed your metal man ancestor in the territory of Qiuyue Country, then do you have a reason to go to war?"
"Be smart, don't go to war, how can my subordinates make meritorious contributions, how can they climb to high positions. Now most of the high-level executives are dying in the sea of stars, which is a rare opportunity. β
Lauder's words were full of pride, and Chen Qing lamented again in his heart, the desire for power had lost his eyes, the metal empire was originally ruled by rare races, and now its power was greatly damaged, and it dared to attack the mainstream humans of the Endless Continent, it was simply looking for death. Even if the Autumn Moon Country is a small country, if the human race is slaughtered, there will definitely be many people with a strong sense of justice who will jump out. However, this saved Chen Qing's business, and he pretended to be pondering and then opened his mouth.
"Okay, I'll do my best to kill this Ancestor, if you have anything to do with me in the future, just tell SΓΉ Five, I still have some subordinates to help, you can find more targets." β
"Haha, it's a pleasure to talk to you, then that's it, I still have to leave beforehand. β
Lauder got up and laughed and was about to go out, but Chen Qing's words came again.
"Wait a minute, I'm curious, what made you a politician?"
Lauder was opening the door for a moment, and some holes came from the words, "Since the moment I found out that the Ancestors didn't treat us metal people as human beings at all, I decided to kill all the Ancestors and create a pure metal empire, and I will not hesitate to pay a price for this goal." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Lauder opened the door and left, without looking back, looking at the closed door, Chen Qing shook his head. I'm afraid that the pure metal empire will no longer exist, but his goal is to completely destroy the metal empire, otherwise how to vent the hatred in his heart, how to avenge countless human beings, the Chen family and the Divine Soul Empire who failed to withdraw.
After Lauder left with his escorts, Chen Qing also set off immediately, bought a very fast mechanical horse in the city, rode it out of the city. The envelope given to him by Lauder contained the detailed route of the mission, and Chen Qing had already purchased a map of the surrounding area, and found the location as soon as he compared it.
Now the envoy group has entered the territory of the Autumn Moon Country, and is heading towards the national capital, the ancestor of the envoy group is a big name, and he did not choose the fastest means of transportation such as the starship, but let people carry a sedan chair to swagger through the city, which is called to show the majesty of the metal empire.
Chen Qing soon entered the Qiuyue Country, this country is an open country, all races are welcome to come to play and trade, and even the city has no walls, Chen Qing quickly caught up with the envoy group looking for an opportunity to start, and even saw a scene that made him angry.
Today's Qiuyue Kingdom is like a big market for selling slaves, and there is only one kind of slave for sale, and that is the female slave, the female slave captured from the sea of stars. Countless women and girls were sold, and this otherworldly female slave girl was very popular, attracting slave traders from all over the world to buy wholesale, and it led to other industries, and there was a prosperous scene everywhere.
