Chapter 262: Victoria's Determination
Originally, as the navigator of the spice route, the true owner of the narwhal, it was a matter of celebration that he was able to cross smoothly.
What's more, this trade is extraordinary, and its profits will determine whether Victoria can continue to gain a foothold in the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, and even defeat her two brothers.
It's just that after walking around the edge of the ice cloud circle for a while, witnessing the scene of Midi killing the huge cloud beast like a god of war from the sky, the struggle within the chamber of commerce, the joy of crossing the black cloud circle, etc., seem to have become insignificant things in the eyes of Victoria now.
What's more, there is also the Ice Spirit Bead.
It only took me ten minutes to get it.
But its value is so great that even Victoria, who has always had a high vision, feels incredible.
Is this the real Great Storm Zone?
Ironically, as the closest to the Great Storm Zone, the one who held the spice route, Victoria never thought of exploring it in depth, but on the contrary, feared and stayed away from it. In retrospect, what a stupid and short-sighted idea.
If you don't move forward, one day, you will be left behind, right?
Looking at the black-haired human youth on the deck, the celestial girl thought so and finally made a decision.
"Lord Blade, I have a question for you. Victoria walked to Midi's side, extremely close and even **** distance, but her tone was serious to the point of seriousness.
"Miss Victoria, please say it directly, as long as it is within the scope of my knowledge, I will naturally know everything, and I will say everything. Midi smiled and replied lightly.
It's finally here?
Midi thought to herself.
He has shown so many secrets and values about the Great Storm Zone, and now, it seems that he has finally begun to change the deep-rooted fear of the Great Storm Zone in the heart of this Yunhai native.
"Straight to the point, what do you have to do to get through the Storm Zone?" said Victoria, looking at Midi's dark eyes steadily.
Speaking of which, Victoria's attitude is already clear. It cannot be said that there is no wavering, but at least there is a willingness to advance and retreat with Midi, of course, this will is based on interests that are too great to be faced, and at the same time, the danger must be controlled within certain limits.
After all, Victoria was a businessman, not a soldier, and it was impossible for her to be crushed for a certain goal, let alone put all her strength into it for the goal of Midi, whom she had only met for a short time.
Midi's killing of the Cloud Beast had already made Victoria see the benefits, and at the same time understood that the Cloud Beast was not invincible.
But how much does it cost to defeat the cloud beast and cross the ice cloud circle, and now the dialogue between the two is the real commercial calculation.
Midi didn't answer Victoria's question immediately, but pondered for a while before saying, "Originally, I expected that the Spice Route might bypass many obstacles and lead me directly into the heart of the Great Storm Zone, but now I realize that this route is just passing through the black cloud circle. If you want to enter the starry ocean, it seems that there is no shortcut, so you can only take the most royal way. ”
"What's the most royal thing to do?" asked Victoria.
"The most royal way to do it is naturally to carve out a road and enter it from the front in a dignified manner. This time, Midi's answer was unthinking, "As for how to do this, there is no mystery to say, it is nothing more than a sufficiently advanced airship." ”
"How advanced is it?" Victoria subconsciously glanced at the narwhal.
This airship was already the embodiment of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce's supreme alchemical technique, however, in the edge of the ice cloud circle, it was only encountered by a cloud beast, and its roar and struggle were affected, and the shell had become mottled, and several places needed to be repaired. In Midi's mouth, "an airship that is advanced enough", how advanced is that?
"Several factors, being able to dispel the darkness and being able to discern the direction without the interference of the magnetic field, these two points, the narwhal has actually done, and the rest is naturally strong enough to withstand the invasion of the cold. "Only strong enough and hardy enough to rush into the ice cloud circle, or even into the body of the cloud beast to attack. Only by doing these two things can you successfully cross the Great Storm Zone. ”
"So, the way you kill the cloud beast, the airship can also be used?" Victoria's eyes lit up.
"I have to tell you, Miss Victoria, that was meant to be used for airships. Midi smiled slightly.
Whether it is in the previous life or in this life, there are only a few people who can have the Awakening Secret Technique, and the Awakening Secret Skill has the ability to fly, and it is even more of a minority among the few. Rushing into the body of the cloud beast to take down the starlight requires the support of the airship, otherwise, how can it be done with the flesh and blood of the adventurer alone?
Today's Midi is a transcendent awakened person, a special case, but at the same time, as a genius commander, he has never forgotten the most massively promoted, the simplest and easiest ways to fight.
Only the skills that everyone can master can really lay the foundation for victory.
"Relying on airships to break through, the last blow is carried out by adventurers, and man and machine complement each other, this is the way to fight through the Great Storm Zone. Miss Victoria, don't worry, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, then naturally, I will teach this set of tactics. Midi said, then patted the narwhal's sidestring fence, "Only, before that, first of all, it's a matter of vehicles. ”
"I'm afraid it will take three years, no, at least five years. Victoria couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Just as the Falcon Regiment has its own magic research and development department, the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce has its own alchemy institution, and its history is extremely long, and there are many alchemists in charge.
Whether it is a "swordfish", a "tiger shark", or even a "narwhal", these airships, which can be called first-class in the sky and the sea of clouds, are all developed by the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce itself, and it can be said that this is one of the reasons why it can be among the top forces in the sea of clouds as a chamber of commerce.
But even so, according to Victoria's estimates, it will take a long time to develop an airship that can meet Midi's requirements, can pass through that terrible ice storm and even face the cloud beast.
This is something that can only be done if Victoria becomes the president of the Chamber of Commerce and can take charge of the overall situation.
At present, let alone the development of airships, it is a question of whether the two brothers can continue to attack and keep the spice route at hand.
"Five years...... Midi also sighed slightly.
Going around and around, it turns out that there are still no shortcuts.
In the previous life, adventurers had been preparing for seven years in order to enter the Great Storm Zone, but in this life, even if they had foresight, seized the opportunity, and were even willing to share all kinds of information about the Great Storm Zone, as a result, this time still seemed to be unable to advance.
In other words, it has never been possible to develop high-performance airships.
It seems that even if it is the butterfly effect of rebirth, there is always something that cannot be changed. For example, this kind of real technical difficulty cannot be easily won by virtue of foresight and personal strength.
Do you have to wait?
In her heart, Midi sighed deeply again.
But at this moment, Victoria's crisp and melodious voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Lord Blade, there may be a way to get us much ahead of schedule. "Although it takes a lot of time, even manpower, financial and material resources to develop airships, if we do not develop them, but imitate them, we can greatly reduce the cost." ”
"Imitation?" Midi repeated the other man's words, and as a reborn, he couldn't keep up with the other party's train of thought for the first time.
"That's right, imitation. Victoria said this, and brought the constant compass to Midi.
This compass can cancel out the magnetic field of the large storm area, so it can guide the airship smoothly through the black cloud circle, and it can be said that it plays the largest role in the entire spice route, and in the future, it must also be installed on the airship used to break through the large storm area.
And this constant compass is exactly an imitation!
After the Rothschild ancestors got the original from the ancient crashed Celestial Battleship, they studied the imitation after the shrinkage function!
With a constant compass, there will be spice routes, large profits and incomes, and further expansion. It can even be said that everything brilliant about the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce began with this imitation.
And now, in order to be able to break new ground, Victoria, the successor of Rothschild, has once again proposed imitation.
However, new problems also arise -
Where can I find the Celestial Battleship?
Although the ancestors of Rothschild did get one a long time ago, but the wreck of the Celestial Battleship, Victoria had also seen it with her own eyes, in fact, it could no longer be called an airship, it was just a captain's room and a wheelhouse, several rooms connected together, and the battleship itself had long since disintegrated, leaving only fragments flying in the wind, and then falling onto those floating island rocks that no one cared about.
However, it is obvious that with Victoria's intelligence, since she dared to propose "imitation" in front of Midi, most of the objects used for imitation also have certain eyebrows.
"On the other side of the sea of clouds in the sky, there are also many agencies that specialize in all kinds of intelligence, and if you inquire about it, you should be able to get clues. After all, when the Tyrannosaurus King Bakar was in the Heavenly Realm, countless rifts were opened in the space, and there were definitely a lot of various wrecks that fell from it, as long as you inquired carefully, you would definitely be able to gain something. Victoria said confidently, "It just so happens that the destination of our trip is the best place to inquire about the ruins of ancient battlefields. ”
Once she has made up her mind and found her goal, this celestial woman is able to radiate amazing charm, and even Midi can't help but be impressed by Victoria at this moment.
Should it be said that he is worthy of being the future president of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce and the first person to support the Great Storm Expedition?
Thinking like this, the corners of Midi's mouth couldn't help but raise slightly: "I'm looking forward to it." ”
