Chapter 227: The Big Explosion and the Self-Destruction of Blerim
If you reject me, we are not friends. If we are not friends, why should I let you stay here?
Doing so would certainly cause the great mechanic's disgust, but Blerim didn't care. Long-term interests were what civilizations needed to consider.
People like them never know when they will meet again, so they will naturally ask for benefits on the spot.
Although he didn't know why the other party came, this place was not a must-visit place, so the other party must have a reason for coming.
If we don’t pull it out now, when will we wait?
Li Ming looked at him deeply. The transaction location had been locked and could not be changed for the time being.
He nodded and said, "No problem, I can help you build it, but I have a question, how did you find us?"
"Haha, I knew Your Excellency Qinglong was a friend." Blerim laughed and said, "Although your spaceship is parked far away, my probes have already covered that area."
"A collector's spaceship. Too obvious."
He brought up a picture with a look of pride and threat, which was exactly Ulrich's spaceship.
Li Ming glanced at Ulrich. Ulrich was a little embarrassed. This matter was not his own business, so he didn't take it that seriously.
"Come, keep a close eye on this spaceship and make sure nothing happens." Blerim ordered his men to guard the small spaceship with three layers of security inside and outside.
Li Ming looked gloomy, and Thiago was still among them.
Blerim personally led the way to the upper floors of the huge warship.
"What civilization's warship is this?" As Li Ming came along, he felt more and more how huge the warship was. He couldn't help but imagine that the main gun of this warship might be able to directly blow up the planet.
"Who knows?" Blerim shook his head. "No one can figure out what's in the Red River Star Stream."
The battleship's highest deck offers a boundless expanse of space, and one can clearly see a deep red stream of stars that seems to run through the universe. Any star seems insignificant in front of it.
It's like a red curtain, covering up the mysteries of the universe.
"Hmm?" Li Ming inexplicably felt that the Red River Star Stream seemed to have become brighter, and the dark red color gradually turned to bright red.
The scattered star mist suddenly scattered away like a frightened school of fish, and the red star stream seemed to fluctuate, with ripples like the tide slowly emerging.
Li Ming's eyes widened. It seemed like... this was not an illusion?
"The tide is coming..." Ulrich's voice sounded.
Li Ming suddenly realized that the tide of the Red River Star Stream would create a window period for the Red River Star Stream, allowing it to go deeper.
Ulrich sighed a little. In the past, he would go deep into the Red River during the tide.
Li Ming thought of what Monroe once said, that he was using the Land of Stars to draw something from it.
"Don't worry, we are far away from the Red River Star Stream and won't be affected by the tide." Blerim didn't care. He led everyone into a hall and asked people to prepare a welcome banquet.
He kept probing them in his words, asking them why they came.
"We were heading somewhere and were planning to stop for supplies," Ulrich explained expressionlessly.
"Supplies?" Blerim smiled but did not expose the truth.
Li Ming glanced at him. This guy didn't think they were running away, and didn't even think Theo and Sandro were following them.
That’s right, after all, there was no other rumor.
After much indirection, Blerim gained nothing and the banquet was ready.
The welcome banquet at Blerim was quite unique, with a large number of slave girls dancing gracefully and various kinds of wine being poured continuously.
Li Ming had no interest in the banquet. Halfway through, Blerim took out the weapon drawings for him to refer to.
He wanted to make a metal cold weapon like a knife.
"I have almost prepared the materials: Nova Storm Alloy, Dark Matter Alloy, and Supergiant Core. I think it would be best if it could be folded..." Blerim explained his requirements.
"Well, what's your level of strength?" Li Ming asked casually while looking at the blueprint.
"This..." Blerim was a little surprised, "What does this have to do with weapons?"
"Of course it is related. It's complicated to explain. I need to adjust various weapon data according to your strength." Li Ming frowned.
Blerim pondered, "I'm not a conventional evolutionary system. If I had to make an analogy, I'd be comparable to an A-level genetic evolutionary organism with about 60% of its development progress."
"The burst energy level can exceed 100A."
"Oh." Li Ming nodded thoughtfully. He glanced at the materials the guy had prepared and shook his head. "It seems this is only enough for one weapon."
Blerim was slightly stunned, then pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "What else?"
"Nothing." Li Ming chuckled.
"So, when will it be completed? I have prepared a quiet place for you." Blerim struck while the iron was hot.
Ulrich glanced over and sneered to himself.
"Don't worry." Li Ming put down the blueprint.
Blerim was anxious and wanted to say something but hesitated, but he didn't want to press further.
…
While the banquet was going on, Ulrich's iron castle was littered with corpses, blood was flowing everywhere, and the smell of blood was pungent.
Brown was shaking all over and fell to his knees, his face full of fear.
The remaining guards around were also covered with scars. They were detained and kneeling on the ground. Behind them were the double-tailed scorpion soldiers wearing combat armor. They were fully armed and exuded an iron-blooded murderous aura.
"Ah, ah, Her Highness Asmara... I..." Brown looked at the slim woman in front of him, with only fear in his two big eyes.
Beside Asmara was the Prince of Baijan. He looked around the hall with his hands behind his back, his eyes falling on the nails on the wall, and he sighed slightly:
“It is said that the collector has an original work by Vickrill and a Nebula statue carved by Master Barenboim himself.”
"Your Highness..." Intelligence Officer Arik walked from the depths of the palace and reported in a deep voice, "This castle is almost just a shell. There's nothing of value left."
Asmara looked cold but not surprised: "You ran pretty fast."
"Tobeka..." Asmara shouted.
A thin Itlan woman walked out from the group of people following behind her, with her head lowered.
"Check his memory," Asmara said, pointing at Brown.
Brown trembled all over and wailed non-stop, "Your Highness Asmara, I will tell you everything. Just ask me and I will tell you everything..."
No one paid any attention to him. Tobeka walked slowly up to him and looked at Brown, whose nose and tears were streaming. There was obvious disgust in her eyes, but she still stretched out her slender hand and placed it on his forehead.
In an instant, Brown's whole body was twitching, but he was held down tightly, his eyes turned outward, and a miserable wail came from his throat.
Tobeka's face was calm, some strange scenes flashed across his eyes, and he whispered:
"Your Highness, his memory is normal and he knows nothing. Ulrich asked him to stay and guard, saying that he would be back soon, and he believed it..."
"Huh..." Tobeka was stunned and said in surprise: "Your Highness, his memory has been erased for a period of time!"
"Huh?" Asmara, who had not cared at first, suddenly turned her head.
"when?"
"Three days ago, it was erased for about ten minutes." Tobeka pulled her hand away, and Brown collapsed to the ground, twitching all over and foaming at the mouth.
She whispered, "It shouldn't be Ulrich. According to his memory, Ulrich had already left by then."
Asmara was quite surprised: "There is actually an unexpected gain. If I can erase his memory, I should be able to kill him easily."
Prince Baijan also looked over and asked, "Can it be restored?"
"I could try to revive him, but that would probably render him brain dead," Tobeka explained.
"It doesn't matter." Asmara didn't care. Brown was helped up, and Tobeka placed his hands on his temples. The invisible mental force field quickly spread out.
Prince Baijan stepped back subconsciously, feeling as if a layer of plastic film was covering him, which was extremely awkward.
He has always kept his distance from people with psychic abilities.
He looked around and couldn't help but ask, "Where's His Highness Gabriel? Is he still on the spaceship?"
"Yeah." Asmara nodded, a strange expression on her beautiful face. "He's very resistant to this place and doesn't want to put himself in danger."
Upon hearing this, Prince Baijan couldn't help but wonder what the great mechanic had done to make the young and energetic son of the Grand Duke of the Empire so scared?
"ah--"
Brown's wailing became more intense, his whole body trembling, and a dazzling light shone from his two big eyes, and then flames appeared, burning through.
Tobeka's face turned pale and he clenched his teeth. Suddenly, with a bang, Brown's head exploded completely.
Brain matter and blood exploded all over Tobeka's face, and she felt nauseous. The logistics soldier next to her quickly stepped forward to clean up for her.
Asmara frowned, only concerned with whether her memory returned.
"The life form that erased memories is at a very high level. I only saw one picture, and that's because the goblin has a very deep memory of that picture." Tobeka didn't dare to hesitate. Her eyes were shining, and she actually outlined a scene in front of her eyes like a holographic projection.
Asmara frowned. In this blurry scene, there stood a sturdy human being, holding a long metal box in his hand, which contained a black and gold sniper rifle. He could only make out the general outline, and the specific details were very vague.
Asmara looked at it carefully, and then his expression suddenly changed. "Phantom Hunter?"
Prince Baijan walked forward quickly, almost sticking to the illusory scene, as if wanting to see it clearly.
"It is indeed the Phantom Hunter, so this person should be the legendary Dark Night." Prince Baijan confirmed with an extremely solemn expression.
Asmara lowered her head and fiddled with her smart terminal. Prince Baijan's face turned grim. "Not long ago, a Grand Duke of Xingyuan Empire was assassinated. It was this man who did it."
"It's him." A young voice sounded beside him. Prince Baijan turned around and saw that it was actually Gabriel's holographic projection.
"The Phantom Hunter in his hand should be the assassination weapon."
"The Phantom Hunter is a sniper rifle crafted by a Forge-level mechanic. It's extremely powerful and can fire informational poison." Gabriel's expression was solemn. "This person fled along the Red River Star Stream and unexpectedly arrived in the Land of the Stars."
"What does he want to do?"
This question brought everyone's attention to Tobeka.
Tobeka said hurriedly, "I didn't get it completely. He seemed to want to repair something."
"Repair something?" Asmara immediately concluded, "He came to find Qinglong, and what he wants repaired is probably his sniper rifle."
"That should be the case." Prince Baijan nodded, then asked in confusion, "But why is this gun damaged?"
Gabriel said leisurely, "He actually fired two bullets, but the second one was blocked, which probably caused great damage."
"An Ye's presence here must be reported to the empire."
Asmara's eyes flickered slightly. "Yes, if An Ye and Qing Long were to collude, there would be big trouble."
At this moment, Intelligence Officer Arik came forward, sweat dripping from his forehead. "Your Highness, just when this goblin died, a microwave signal suddenly emanated from his body."
Asmara looked over. "Didn't we already shield this castle?"
"It has been shielded, but this microwave signal is not transmitted to the outside world, but... underground." Arik felt a shudder in his heart.
"Underground?" Asmara looked down, and then her face changed drastically. A violent vibration came, as if some huge monster was turning over from the ground.
boom!
The blazing light illuminated the entire trading island like daylight, and heart-pounding energy surged into the sky. Dark purple lightning kept jumping, making a roar that resounded through the sky.
In just less than five seconds, accompanied by a low roar, a beam of light pierced the floating island's ecological shield. A huge mushroom cloud rose from the steel castle, and violent waves of fire rolled in, stirring up huge clouds of smoke and dust.
The violent energy ring spread out, and the ground began to crack. The many plunderers on the floating island were stunned, and then fled in all directions.
Outside the trading island, the aftermath of the explosion activated the battleship's shield. Gabriel stood in front of the porthole, his pupils reflecting the billowing flames.
"Your Highness, it's a good thing you didn't go out." Ronan said thankfully behind him.
Ford stood not far away, his throat rolling.
………
After the banquet, Blerim arranged for them to stay near his room.
After clearing the surveillance equipment in the room, Li Ming turned on the smart terminal. The traders from the Black Hole Network were about to come to Li, but he was temporarily unable to trade, which made him very unhappy.
After thinking for a moment, he pulled Theo and Sandro into a small group. After turning on the video, Theo and Sandro's big heads were on the left and right.
Li Ming opened his mouth and said, "I'm going to kill Blerim."
"Huh?" Sandro was stunned, then stunned, "So sudden?"
Theo frowned, "Were you discovered?"
"Yes, the Cruiser is also under the supervision of Blerim." Li Ming nodded.
Theo's face changed slightly. Although A-level life forms can survive in the interstellar space for a short period of time, they cannot cross the long distance between the stars.
If the spaceship was destroyed, they would still end up dead.
"But he doesn't know you are here." Li Ming added, and Teoli breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmm..." Sandro immediately asked, "What are your plans?"
"There's no plan. We can just kill him with a bunch of people. It shouldn't be a problem." Li Ming shook his head rudely, "and then divide the spoils."
Just when we were in urgent need of genetic material, Blerim delivered it to us.
And Sandro suddenly became excited, "Good plan!"
