Chapter 274: The road is narrow
Lack of technical skills?
Emile was stunned, and for a moment, she thought she had misheard.
But then, when she heard the word "cooperation", a cold light full of vigilance immediately flashed in her eyes behind the lenses.
"Mr. Blade, what do you mean by cooperation?" After a few seconds of silence, Emile asked quietly, "Do you mean funds, venues, or personnel?"
"Funding, venues, personnel, it's all going to be provided, but that's not all. Midi replied bluntly, "The main meaning of my side is to enter the ancient battlefield with you and salvage those Heavenly Realm and Demon Realm warships. β
If it was facing someone else, Midi would inevitably have to sing with Victoria first, and at the same time release a little bit of dragon power, force and persuasion at the same time, and have a good test.
But since he already knew that Emile himself was a master alchemist, and that he would become a generation of shipwrights in the future, he didn't bother to do these things in circles, so he directly chose a showdown.
After all, the IQ of this "White Snake" is definitely not below Victoria, even if he is not so good at negotiating, he will still be aware of his purpose after a few words. Instead of going around and around, it is better to show sincerity and talk openly.
And just as Midi expected, after such a showdown, the face of the dark elf immediately lost its blood.
"I don't understand what you're talking about. Emile, who was not good at negotiations, had to choose to stall.
"Miss Emile, let's be honest with each other. Midi picked out the "Anti-Magnetic Compass Positioning Technique" again and spread it out on the table, "To tell you the truth, this compass technique has long been mastered by Miss Victoria's family, and it was imitated hundreds of years ago after obtaining the prototype from the wreckage of a celestial warship. As for the others, including the icebreaker technique I bought, it is completely different from Yunhai's existing airship manufacturing system, but it is closely related to each other, obviously, it was also researched by you after getting inspiration from ancient warships, isn't it?"
"But even then, it just means that I have the wreckage of an ancient warship. Emile continued to retort, but unfortunately, before he could start, he was directly interrupted by Midi.
"That's impossible. Midi shook his head and showed a confident smile, "If you are acquiring the wreckage of one or more ancient warships at once, then how can it be such a chicken rib as the ice-breaking technique that you take out to study first?"
It was just a simple sentence, and he didn't even say anything thoroughly, however, every smart person present had already understood, and as for Emile, he sighed directly, knowing that he couldn't argue anymore.
As Midi said, if Emile really didn't know the location of the ancient battlefield of the Dao, and only stumbled upon a piece or a batch of warship wrecks, then there is no doubt that she would have picked out the most valuable part of the wreckage first and studied it.
In other words, the first thing to be developed should be the "anti-magnetic compass positioning technique" or "artillery fire enhancement technique", the direction identification and the enhancement of firepower, in the airship manufacturing, this is undoubtedly a higher priority technology.
Next, it should be the "Armor Thickening Technique", and at the end of the day, it is the "Needle Ice Breaking Technique", which is almost useless in most cases.
However, the actual order of research is completely reversed, and the most impractical techniques are studied first, followed by other more useful techniques.
This shows that Emile did not get the wreckage at one time, but obtained the wreckage again and again through continuous salvage, and the first thing she salvaged was probably the bow part of a warship, so she could only carry out the study of icebreaking techniques, and as time went on, more wreckage was gradually salvaged, including artillery systems, positioning systems, etc., and more research was carried out.
So, where to go for salvage?
The answer naturally came out - the ancient battlefield.
If the place where the wreckage of an ancient warship can be salvaged again and again is not an ancient battlefield, then there is no place that can be called an ancient battlefield.
It is precisely because of these many factors that Midi dares to have a showdown now, and believes that Emile will never be able to hide the past in front of him.
And Emile, who was forced into the corner of the words, suddenly realized that the black-haired and black-eyed human youth in front of him was afraid that from the beginning, from the moment he decided to buy his own icebreaker technique, the drunkard did not mean to drink.
"You're here for the intelligence of the ancient battlefield in the first place, right?"
"You don't pay any attention to my skills, do you?"
"No, you even felt from the beginning that I was a complete plagiarist, so you never took me seriously, did you?"
The dark elf woman asked three questions in a row in a slightly trembling voice. And when she looked at Midi through the lens, there was a strange anger.
For an alchemist, the most unacceptable thing is the denial of his proud work. And for an extremely sensual female dark elf alchemy master, this is not only unacceptable, but can even be regarded as the biggest insult in life.
As soon as three sharp questions came out, Midi was stunned.
In all fairness, he didn't think about it at all, and he didn't think about the difference between imitation, borrowing, plagiarism, and getting inspiration. In fact, due to the memories of his previous life, Midi can be said to have great respect for this future shipwright, the wise man who sent the adventurers to the Great Storm Zone.
But now, in the face of Emile, who is in anger, even if he has three mouths, I am afraid that he will not be able to say clearly.
"I know that since you are here, you must be prepared, and I am afraid that you have prepared a lot of means to force me to tell the information about the ancient battlefield. Emile smiled wryly, "No wonder, otherwise why would this Mr. Blade use force to deter as soon as he comes up, and then stage a good show that goes straight to the reef belt?"
The atmosphere of the whole room suddenly dropped below freezing at this moment, and even Victoria, who has always been good at arguing, didn't know what to say at this moment, I don't know if Lu Dao was surprised or completely speechless.
As for Midi, he could only roar angrily in his heartβ
Can you, this young lady, not have paranoia of being victimized! Am I, Midi, Ashrex, such a tyrannical evil boy?
However, anger is anger, and Midi knows very well that if he just cares about justifying himself at such a time, he will really not be able to say clearly.
In his heart, this "White Snake" Emile must find a way to persuade him to become an ally, this is a shortcut to quickly enter the big storm area, and he can't be easily offended.
And more importantly, even if you don't care about interests, how can Midi use force to oppress such a woman who can only hide in the area of the wind and stream, and knows that she is helpless at a glance?
That's not the Midi Asrex who can get Fina and Alice's love.
But now, perhaps because of the relationship that was initially shown by force, or maybe because of the aggressive relationship just now, now that Emile has decided that he is a demon without conscience, Namidi's only choice is to leave for the time being.
Wait until she calms down, and then have a good conversation.
Thinking so, Midi slowly stood up and winked at Victoria.
But at this moment, the door of the reception room was opened with a "bang", and then, a light but deep voice sounded behind Midi.
"Who is bullying our dear Miss Emile? β
Midi frowned subconsciously, this voice, he sounded familiar, and instinctively a little disgusted.
"Miss Emile, you're all right, are you, I'll leave it to us, and we'll be done soon. Another young, majestic voice rang out.
This voice, as it sounds, is also very familiar.
Is it a delusion?
Thinking so, Midi turned.
The next moment, the figures of two human adventurers entered his pupils.
One is a cynical middle-aged man with a relaxed expression, a shabby robe and an old staff, squinting his eyes, and looking like a hanger.
The other is a handsome young man with golden hair and ice-blue eyes, slender and handsome, elegant but majestic, almost like a young lion.
It was two of Midi's old rivals, Wiseman Newton, the "Hand of Nightmares", and the fourth prince of the Delos Empire, Reinhardt Sgart Heinrich.
How could it be them?
In an instant, even Midi, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, suddenly showed a shocked expression.
How narrow the road is, you can even meet the sky and the sea of clouds without a road!
And the two people on the other side seemed to be even more surprised, and they were directly stunned, and even Wiseman seemed to have seen a ghost at this moment, stretching out his finger and pointing at Midi tremblingly.
"Midi, Asrex, why are you here!"
A middle-aged man and a young man, the two let out a deafening roar in unison.
There are no words, and there is no need, it is completely the instinct of the warrior, just a breath, Midi has already reflexively drawn out the sun and moon double sword, his body shook, launched a ghost flash, and in the blink of an eye, he directly cut into the defensive circle of the two opposite, and accurately put two blades of light on their necks.
But these two battle-hardened imperial powerhouses are obviously not vegetarians, and at the same time as Midi attacks, they are also reflexively ready to fight back.
The dragon's eye staff in Wiseman's hand instantly condensed an extremely terrifying and tyrannical aura of death, and Reinhardt lowered his center of gravity and put on a knife drawing pose. In this posture, even if his head is cut off, his body will instinctively complete the most violent sword drawing and slashing, which can be said to be the same end.
In an instant, in the little time that Emile and Victoria had not even stood up, the three of them had completed a full round of attacks, and presented a tragic confrontation posture of sacrificing their lives.
