Chapter 365 Little Rhein

"I don't want the clock itself, I want... the person who can make this kind of clock!"

Qin Mo looked at the precise clock in front of her and said earnestly.

According to Isabella, this clock only needs to be adjusted once a month, with an error of less than two minutes each time. This standard is not far from the accuracy of a marine chronometer. If she were to add some advanced technological concepts, it would be possible to achieve an error of less than one second per day, making a true marine chronometer, which would definitely be a powerful tool for navigation.

Qin Mo suddenly realized that there was no sound in the room. When she looked up, she saw the murderous gazes of two powerful vampires.

“Little one, do you know what you’re saying?” Unlike her two butlers, Isabella didn’t show any murderous intent. Instead, she looked at Qin Mo with a playful expression.

Qin Mo quickly realized that he had made a grammatical mistake and hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. I meant that I was interested in the craftsmen who could make such precise clocks, not in you...!"

In fact, Qin Mo secretly added to herself, "Damn it, you're always trying to suck my blood, who would dare to be interested in you?"

"Oh! You're not interested in me...?" Isabella's eyes shifted between pink and blood-red several times, sending a chill down Qin Mo's spine.

Qin Mo thought to herself, "Damn it, you're not happy with this, and you're not happy with that either. What should I say to make you happy? How can someone your age be so petty?"

"Your Highness, do you know any other craftsmen who can make this kind of clock? I would like to invite him to open a clock workshop in our Great Xia. After all, our Great Xia has a large population and a great demand for clocks that keep accurate time!" Qin Mo said seriously, straightening his expression.

Isabella waved her hand, and Oakes and Mars immediately withdrew, thoughtfully closing the hatch behind them.

The female vampire leaned closer to Qin Mo's face, licked her lips, and said, "Only I can make this kind of clock that keeps accurate time at sea. How about one clock for a jug of blood?"

"No way!" Qin Mo immediately rejected Isabella's suggestion. He would rather find a few second-rate watchmakers and have them retrain than sell his blood for something.

Isabella made two grasping motions in the air with her slender fingers, but ultimately did not lash out.

The Blood Rose was extremely fast and arrived at the entrance to the Gulf of Riga on the morning of the third day, where it finally encountered the obstruction of the Temple's naval fleet.

"Your Highness, should we proceed directly to Riga Fortress?" Captain Isaac asked as he entered the cabin, his relaxed tone showing no regard for the dozens of Temple warships opposite him.

"Oh! No need, I'll just go down quietly by myself!" Qin Mo quickly stood up to stop him. If there was a conflict with the temple, she would be driven crazy by the trouble.

"Try not to hurt anyone. These small fry aren't worth fighting!" Isabella completely ignored Qin Mo's advice. She said she was going to Riga Fortress, so she was going to Riga Fortress. How could a member of the Crimson Council let others change her will!

The Crimson Rose immediately accelerated and turned, speeding along the edge of the Temple fleet, causing the crew and sailors on the opposing fleet to let out a helpless cry of alarm.

A large ocean-going sailing ship actually pulled out a fancy maneuver and entered the temple's rowing fleet at an incredible speed.

The galley, known for its fast start-up speed, was surprisingly defeated by the "Crimson Rose" in its strongest area. The rowers worked their hardest, but could only watch helplessly as the luxurious ship passed through the blocking fleet in an eerie manner and entered the Gulf of Riga.

Qin Mo remained on deck, watching these incredibly skilled vampire sailors expertly manipulating the sails and magic arrays, making "Crimson Rose" perform a series of unbelievable maneuvers. She couldn't help but exclaim, "The world of RMB players is truly amazing!"

"What does Your Highness Qin Mo think of this ship?" The handsome captain Isaac, who had always respected Qin Mo, couldn't understand Qin Mo's meaning, so he finally couldn't help but show off.

"This ship proves the old saying true—navies are all money-devouring beasts!" Qin Mo muttered to himself, causing Captain Isaac to once again fall into resentment towards the profound and complex Great Xia language.

When the crew of the "Crimson Rose" saw the towering walls of Riga Fortress, the true powerhouse had finally appeared.

"Is Your Highness's visit to my Riga Fortress at the behest of the Crimson Council or Your Highness's own?"

Elder Rhine appeared out of thin air above the fortress, emanating an aura of power, and questioned the "Crimson Rose" in a deep voice!

"Of course it's my own idea. I've been cooped up at home for too long, so I came out for a walk. What? Little Rhine, you don't seem to welcome me?" Isabella replied coldly without even leaving the cabin.

Elder Rhine, with his long beard, was so angry he nearly went berserk. He was a Saint-level expert, after all. How dare you call me Little Rhine? What would my subordinates think? If I swallowed this insult, how would I lead my team in the future?

"Your Highness, we are currently at war with the orcs. Your identity is too sensitive and could easily cause misunderstandings between the Temple and the Scarlet Council. Therefore... please leave now!!"

When Elder Rhine finished speaking, his tone turned extremely stern, which immediately invigorated the group of temple priests and knights watching from the city walls.

Riga Fortress, a key stronghold of the Temple on the Baltic coast, was invaded by a vampire lord who, "bored at home," wandered in. This was a provocation, an absolute provocation, and it had to be met with a severe counterattack.

"Little Rhine, it seems you've really grown up, daring to speak loudly to me. It seems I need to help you recall some memories from many years ago!" Isabella's calm words sparked endless speculation among everyone present. It seemed that the Temple's top expert had a hidden past!

Elder Rhine's beard began to tremble slightly. He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "I would also like to experience the splendor of the 'Windsor Rose' once again! However, this is Riga Fortress. If innocent people are harmed, has Your Highness considered the consequences?"

Isabella stepped out of the cabin, rising into the air with each step, her beautiful yet aloof demeanor revealing herself to everyone, causing everyone to hold their breath and arousing wicked thoughts in the hearts of many men.

"After all these years, you still can't control your power? You're not one of us immortal beings, how much time do you have left to waste?" Isabella didn't make any move, but an invisible ripple spread out, gradually expanding to a radius of several miles, enveloping her and Elder Rhine.

"You...you actually...you've fully recovered?..."

When Elder Rhine saw the ripple appear, he immediately regretted it. He regretted showing off in front of so many people and provoking this crazy woman.

“This madwoman suffered an incurable injury when she was young. She has an exceptionally keen sense of the world around her, but her control over it is extremely dull. I could have… but now…”

"I'm afraid I'll embarrass myself in front of so many people today..."

For a moment, Elder Rhine felt like dying.
