Chapter 278: Emile and Avril
Three days later.
The whaling boat, which seemed rather glaring to the inhabitants of the Wind Stream, quietly left the harbor at dawn before the sun rose. This time, it did not crash all the way out of the river again, but followed a hidden and safe channel, patiently sailed out of the wind and stream, and then accelerated.
Compared to the rampage and domineering arrogance of the time, the departure at this moment seems very low-key, however, this is obviously not an act of defeat, on the contrary, the addition of these new allies in the cabin is enough to prove that Midi has achieved his goal, and even received a lot of additional surprises.
Although he was full of jealousy and suspicion about Midi and denounced Wiseman's choice as betrayal, Reinhardt himself still failed to resist the **** of the throne, and in a sigh of complicated emotions, he got on Midi's airship.
After all, for a prince who single-handedly ran into the sky and a sea of clouds, he didn't have much choice, let alone time to squander.
If he had the opportunity to stay in the Delos Empire, how could a prince be willing to go incognito to the sea of clouds to be some kind of adventurer? The biggest problem is that as long as he spends one more day here, the distance between him and the high throne will be one point higher, and his hope of obtaining the throne will be one point slimmer.
Reinhardt even often had nightmares that when he returned home, his second brother had become emperor, and before the brothers met, he had accused himself of treason.
It's not easy to be a prince, especially a prince of a big country like the Delos Empire.
In this case, Midi's proposal could easily have had a fatal attraction for Reinhardt. Even though he knew that the success rate of the Dao was not great, and it might even be just Middy's fanciful bragging, he was still moved-
Instead of wandering in a sea of clouds and waiting to die, or spending decades trying to build strength from scratch, don't go all out!
After all, in any case, this is the team of the famous Midi Asrex, with their own ability, as long as they really do it, they can always get some benefit from it, right?
With this in mind, Reinhardt got on board.
And since Reinhardt was on board, Emile naturally nodded.
This is not only because of the guarantee of the Fourth Prince, but also because the name Midi Asrex is too loud even in the sky and clouds.
That was the legendary figure who opened up the corridor between the Arad continent and the sea of clouds in the sky, and changed the two worlds at the same time.
As long as you inquire a little carefully, the intelligence dealers in the wind stream will tactfully tell a lot of information and information about Midi and even all kinds of gossip, of course, especially the stories of Midi's ten consecutive victories and directly hit the 100th floor of the Sky Arena.
Coupled with Victoria's clever tongue to excuse Midi without a trace, when the three human adventurers bargained, Emile had already been relieved of the misunderstanding when they first met.
Not only forgiveness, but the dark elf even felt a slight shame because he misunderstood that Midi wanted to snatch the ancient battlefield he mastered.
And what made Emile make up her mind the most was the auction money that was finally long overdue-
Seventy percent of the 200,000 crystals, a full 140,000 crystals, this is the profit obtained by Emile's inconspicuous icebreaker technique.
After the escort team of the Venus Auction House, escorted by eight awakened masters above level 55, finally arrived at the wind stream, Emile realized that Midi had actually bought his own technique at this incredible price.
Moreover, it is not the money of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce that is used, but the money of Midi herself.
With outstanding personal force, abundant resources and money, young and promising, and a promising future, Emile has nothing to hesitate about when such a legendary figure personally comes to the wind and stream to seek cooperation?
Now, two of Midi's old rivals have become new allies.
And the future will shine, the "shipwright" with the same name as Master Norton has also joined the team, and the coordinates of the ancient battlefield are marked on the navigation chart, so it can be said that the first step into the Great Storm Zone is finally out of the road.
Of course, with this whaling boat, which is only fifteen meters long, it is naturally impossible to go to the ancient battlefield.
According to Emile, it is also a storm-ravaged area, in addition to the knife-like storms, there are reef groups that are denser than wind streams, in addition, the most deadly are the many energy undercurrents left over from the Celestial War, these undercurrents will directly cut a spatial rift in the space, and if they encounter, they will be immediately torn to pieces by the overflowing power of the void, and there is no way to resist it at all.
For this reason, a large airship such as the narwhal is strong enough to explore.
In order to be able to make money, it is necessary to explore the ancient battlefield deeply, and in order to be able to explore the ancient battlefield, it is necessary to invest a lot of money to improve the equipment, and this cycle is the reason why Emile chose to auction off her alchemy techniques.
But now, with Midi on board, all the problems have been solved.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the information provided by Miss Emile, this ancient battlefield called the 'Twilight Graveyard' is located in the northern region of the Sky and the Sea of Clouds, almost on the dividing line between the East and West Seas. So, we'll sail all the way west, and when we reach the East-West border, we will change to Miss Victoria's flagship, the Narwhal, and then head north to enter the battlefield for salvage. ”
Spreading out a large and detailed nautical chart on the table, the old butler Lund was in good spirits and explained in a neutral voice.
This level of nautical charts is naturally only available to the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, when Reinhardt and Emile went to salvage, where did they come from such a detailed plan.
Now, seeing the real power of the sea of clouds, these people who have come out of the wind stream naturally only have emotion, how can they raise objections?
If Emile has any expectations, it is that this time, after entering the ancient battlefield, he can really salvage a complete ancient warship!
It was her dream as a master alchemist to learn the most awe-inspiring and admirable techniques of ancient times.
And for this expectation, Midi naturally agrees with it 100%.
Two weeks later, the whaling boat finally arrived at the scheduled rendezvous point.
This is an area where a large number of floating island rocks are floating, and due to the relationship between the monsoons blowing in the east and west seas, at the junction of the two seas, the ocean current is almost none, and it can only rely on the power of the airship itself to move forward, and the amount of magic crystals that need to be consumed is quite huge.
In other words, it's an area with no shipping routes, and it's off the beaten track. Above the quiet clouds, in the windless air, those floating island rocks are suspended in the air at will, looking like a fragmented puzzle from a distance.
And in the middle of this puzzle, a huge silhouette 65 meters long is quietly parked there.
The Rothschild Chamber of Commerce's cutting-edge technology is combined, the Narwhal.
"What a big ship!" for Reinhardt and Wiseman, it was the first time they had seen such a huge airship.
This is beyond the reach of the skills of the Arad continent, and even a group of falcons with the famous craftsman of Norton cannot build an airship of this size.
Looking at the neat cannon doors lined up on the side chord of the Narwhal, the fourth prince couldn't help but start to reverie - if there were five, no, as long as there were three such airships entering the sky above the Delos Empire, would his second brother, who had exhausted all his organs, have only the choice of raising his hands to surrender?
And when the perennial prince of the empire was impressed by the firepower of the narwhal, Emile, who was standing quietly on the side, was examining the supreme masterpiece of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce with the eyes of a discerning designer.
As for the result, it was clearly not satisfactory to her.
"Dear Victoria, I think there should be room for improvement in this flagship of yours. Emile whispered beside the Celestial Girl.
"I think so too. Victoria nodded, nudging her gold-wire crystal glasses, "But according to Mr. Blade, no, according to Midi, he said that this ship will definitely leave an indelible impression on your memory." ”
"Oh?" Emile pushed her white tortoiseshell thick-rimmed glasses as well, and her eyes behind the lenses flashed with surprise.
"Once aboard the narwhal, you'll know right away. Midi inserted herself into the two intellective beauties in glasses, revealing a mysterious smile.
And a few minutes later, when Emile finally stepped onto the deck of the narwhal, she was shocked to find that there was a person there, who seemed to be waiting for her.
It was a Dark Elf woman.
She has long silver-white hair and beautiful jewel-like eyes, and is naturally a beauty that fascinates men, and her tall figure makes her look like a tall willow at a glance.
The most incredible thing is that Emile knew very well that she had never met this woman, but she had a very familiar, even very affectionate feeling.
For Emile, who had always kept others out of the door and immersed herself in alchemy, this was an incomprehensible thing.
At the same time, the sharp gaze projected by the dark elf woman on the opposite side softened in an instant after touching Emile's eyes, which showed that her heart was surging with the same feelings as Emile.
The familiarity of déjà vu, the incomparably nostalgic kindness, and the kind of nostalgia that is buried in the deepest part of the heart and cannot be forgotten.
"Allow me to introduce you, both of you. Midi stepped forward and coughed softly.
"This is my secretary in the Sky Arena, Avril. ”
"This is my new alchemist, Emile. ”
"When I saw the two of you, I already had an association and a speculation. And the best way to confirm this speculation is for you to see each other face to face, and then look at something like this. Midi said, handing out a thin piece of stationery.
This is the piece of letter that Emile left behind when she bought the icebreaker technique.
At the bottom of this letterhead, a white snake comes to life.
And the moment she saw the mark of the white snake, Avril's eyes revealed an unbelievable shock, she stared at Emile for a long time, and finally said this sentence in a trembling and uncertain voice-
"Sister?"
