Chapter 228 The Impact of the Explosion Confused Ulrich
Theo pondered and did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "Why do you want to kill him?"
He followed Qinglong because of the request of the person behind him, in order to get the [Flower of Casablanca] provided by the other party, but he did not want to become the other party's thug or provide any benefits.
"He wants to get his hands on me for free." Li Ming's reason was even more outrageous.
"So simple? Just to vent your anger?"
"You can think so." Facing Theo's scrutinizing gaze, Li Ming said frankly.
"Brelim is quite powerful, and his fleet is very prestigious. We may not be able to kill him." Theo hinted.
Sandro was a little impatient, "Boss, if we work together, we can easily kill him."
Theo glanced at him coldly, and Sandro shrank his head, not liking the feeling of being led by the nose.
But the problem is that once Li Ming takes action, he can't really stay out of it.
This is the trouble with being dragged into this situation, it gives him a headache.
If he hadn't been hanging by the [Flower of Casablanca], he would have given up playing long ago. Qinglong is a guy with too many secrets and too much trouble.
S-level life form, Theo longs for it all the time.
Theo sighed. He had to agree even if he didn't want to, but then he asked, "Where's that silver combat robot under your command? Didn't you take him with you when you evacuated?"
Li Ming shrugged, "Who knows, maybe he has become a staff member."
Theo really didn't like the feeling of being completely unpredictable, and said calmly, "I understand, but we need to arrange to go to the abandoned starship city first..."
"Don't worry, I've already told Blerim that some things need to be sent over."
"Ha..." Sandro rubbed his hands together, looking very excited.
Theo had a blank expression on his face. The other party had already made arrangements and was obviously certain that he would agree, or rather, that he must agree.
After ending the communication, Li Ming was thinking secretly.
"It's been a month or two since Serrad's theft. Even if Theo seeks help from the Torch Organization, it will be difficult to find him."
"Surely that's not why we went to the Torch, because of the Ascended Ruins?"
He had thought about it more than once. This reason was valid for Ulrich or Sandro, but it always felt a little off when applied to Theo.
His eyes flickered. "This old fellow must have other motives for following me. The people from the Xingyuan Empire standing behind him..."
Just as he was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door. Through the old video terminal on the wall, he found that it was Ulrich. Li Ming also wanted to go find him.
When the door opened, Ulrich had a strange look in his eyes. After entering, he said, "The castle...blew up."
"Exploded?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows and watched Ulrixi open the smart terminal and play a video. The picture was shaking and blurry.
It's only half of it. At the beginning, there is the rising mushroom cloud and the cracked floating island. The strong wind that blows from time to time seems to knock the recorder to the ground.
I could hear a few words of interstellar dialect, which seemed to be cursing.
"It's so powerful?" Li Ming was surprised and looked up at Ulrich: "Has most of the trading island been blown up?"
It seems that some parts are still intact, but in fact it is so damaged that the ecological environment can no longer be restored. One of the largest floating islands in the Land of Stars has been destroyed.
"I've bought quite a few bombs, and I buried some captured bombs that I had no place to put. I've already reached the point of giving up on the castle, so why should I care about how destructive the bombs are?" Ulrich's reasoning was simple and crude, yet faintly mixed with excitement.
Then another picture was called up. This was the scene after the explosion. The trading island had been broken into several pieces, maintained by a barely sufficient gravity system, but it was still spreading in all directions.
And because the ecological shield was broken, the gravitational winds continued to destroy the broken floating island, but the picture became much more stable.
Halfway through the video, Ulrich paused and then zoomed in on the lower right corner of the screen.
That was the ruins of the steel castle after the explosion. Two blurry figures vaguely flew out from it at a very fast speed. Even with the software to make it clearer, only blurry afterimages could be seen, and it was impossible to tell who they were.
"Only two people flew out, one of them should be Asmara. We don't know how many people they brought in, but they should all have been killed in the explosion." Ulrich said with an obvious smile on his face.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the other person should be Prince Baijan."
"They are all A-level life forms..." Li Ming couldn't help but sigh.
Although the explosion was terrifying, it was not a single-point killing after all, so it was normal for a Class A life form to escape.
"This time, they are in a mess." Ulrich gloated. It was not the first time he had dealt with the Itlan civilization, and there were many grudges between them.
I don’t know if Gabriel was killed in the explosion, Li Ming wondered to himself and glanced at Ulrich who was gloating.
If this guy knew that among the people coming was the son of Grand Duke Cixue of the Xingyuan Empire, I wonder how scared he would be.
The impact of killing people from the Itlan civilization and killing people from the Xingyuan Empire is not on the same order of magnitude.
"By the way..." Li Ming interrupted, "I just discussed with Theo and Sandro and are planning to take action against Blerim. I'm telling you."
Hearing this, Ulrich put away his smart terminal without a trace of surprise on his face. "I knew it. This guy is too greedy."
"With Theo taking action, the problem shouldn't be too serious. Inside the abandoned starship city, he can't use the warships, which has weakened most of his strength."
Ulrich seemed to have great confidence in Theo, which made Li Ming's heart move slightly, and he asked: "How powerful is Theo?"
He had never seen Theo take action and was very curious about this issue.
He had almost grasped the strength of Ulrich and Sandro, only Theo was still unclear.
This time, ambushing Blerim can also test Theo's true strength, so that he can have a better idea of it.
Ulrich mused, "When Lord Monroe was still around, Theo was his strongest man, his number one fighter."
"But do you know what he is best at?"
"?" Li Ming showed an inquiring look.
"Assassination," Ulrich said. For some unknown reason, he explained it in detail.
"Theo came from a destroyed civilization. He was even a prince. His gene sequence is called [Shadow Blade Hunter], an A-level gene sequence. He excels at concealing his presence and tracking, and his assassination skills are extremely advanced..."
A-level gene sequence, concealment and tracking? Li Ming pondered for a moment. His evolutionary system was just missing a theory of evolution.
A-level gene sequences are hard to find, but I didn't expect Theo to be the one.
"Sometimes, he appears behind you and you don't even know it." Ulrich was obviously still frightened when he said this.
Li Ming could also notice this. For example, Sandro dared to challenge Ulrich and put forward conditions to him, but he was rarely seen to refute Theo.
But he looked strange, and he had dealt with Theo many times, but he didn't have too deep experience in these two aspects.
With [Intelligent Assistance], unless the opponent is hiding in the space, it is basically impossible to hide from his perception at close range.
I can always find Theo's location accurately, so there's nothing special about it.
Only then did Li Ming realize his blind spot. No wonder sometimes when Theo suddenly appeared, Sandro and Ulrich were like seeing a ghost.
Theo always looks at me at first sight. I didn’t pay much attention to it before, but now I think that he hides a lot of information.
Suddenly, he remembered something, "I seemed to be looking for an assassin class before, but I forgot about it for some reason."
In order to prevent himself from forgetting, he opened his smart terminal and wrote it down in his memo.
Ulrich habitually stole a glance with a strange look in his eyes, looking for an assassin?
What the hell is this? Is it about finding Theo?
I guess it was to remind himself to always look for Theo. Ulrich was lost in thought and shook his head secretly. He was afraid that Theo would be found so easily.
"When will they arrive?" Ulrich asked again.
"It should be soon." Li Ming thought, with a half-smile: "Brelim should have known about the explosion of the Iron Castle. What do you think he will do?"
"Appease? And then contact Asmara secretly?" Ulrich smiled faintly. If he were Blerim, he would definitely do so in exchange for sufficient benefits.
It was indeed quick, but it was not Theo, but Blerim.
Three hours later, with a livid face, Blerim found Ulrich with a smart terminal. Li Ming was also in the same room.
"Ulrich, what on earth are you doing? Blowing up your own nest?" His face looked extremely ugly. The virtual screen was playing a video, which was also the scene of the explosion of the Iron Castle.
Ulrich frowned, scanned the scene, and shook his head. "This is my territory. If it blows up, it blows up. Why do you care so much?"
"Of course I care!" Blerim snorted coldly. He thought that Ulrich and Li Ming were doing some secret operation, so they passed by here.
Because in the past, those who sought refuge in the Land of Stars basically fled to the deeper parts of the Red River Star Stream, and took the floating islands with them.
But now it seems that the two of them have clearly escaped from the Land of the Stars, and even ruthlessly blew up their own nest.
"The rumor is spreading that your castle bomb killed many people from the Itlan Civilization." Blerim glanced at Ulrich and Li Ming's faces and gritted his teeth, "Among them were even people from the Xingyuan Empire."
"Huh?" Ulrich's originally calm expression suddenly changed. Li Ming frowned. Was he really blown to death?
"Where did you get this information?" Ulrich asked Blerim with a slightly serious expression, "Who said there were people from the Xingyuan Empire?"
"Look for yourself!" Blenheim threw out a virtual projection. Ulrich looked at it carefully. Li Ming also came over and couldn't help but be surprised.
This is internal information of the Xingyuan Empire. I don’t know who leaked it deliberately.
It records in detail how Gabriel, the son of the Bloody Duke, tracked down Isius's death all the way to the Land of Stars, but was forced to leave due to some unexpected events.
After meeting with Asmara, he followed her back to the land of stars.
After the explosion, the people under the command of the Bloodthirsty Grand Duke were constantly trying to contact Asmara, but there was no response. It was not known whether Gabriel was dead or not.
Li Ming was a little disappointed as he was not sure whether he was really dead.
There is a high probability that he is not dead. This kid Gabriel is accompanied by a person with space-related superpowers, or an evolved form, so it is difficult for him to die.
But Ulrich didn't know that, his eyes trembled slightly.
The people of Xingyuan Empire he was talking about were not ordinary soldiers, low-ranking officers or the like, but people of real status.
This is the son of the Bloodthirsty Duke...
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Ming with a gloomy expression. He began to suspect whether this guy was deliberately trying to trick him.
"You've caused huge trouble!" Blerim felt his hands burning hot and cursed his bad luck. If he had known this would happen, he would never let them stay here.
It would be bad enough that Asmara came to the Land of Stars for unknown reasons, but she also brought people from the Xingyuan Empire with her. If they were really blown to death, the small Land of Stars would not be able to withstand the wrath of the Grand Duke of Blood.
If I follow the trail of these two people's escape and track them all the way, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to escape.
Ulrich calmed down. Now was not the time to pursue this matter. He stared at Blerim coldly, "So, what do you want to do? Report us to Asmara?"
"Get out, get out now!" Blerim yelled. He wanted to tell Asmara the other party's whereabouts, but after thinking it over he decided not to.
Because he thought he had no qualifications to negotiate with Asmara. If the son of the Bloodthirsty Grand Duke was really killed in the explosion, he'd better stay away from it and never get involved.
Li Ming looked at Ulrich and said, "You guessed wrong."
Ulrich was no longer in the mood to argue with Qinglong, his heart was in turmoil.
If the Bloodthirsty Duke's son were really killed in the explosion, he would probably have to flee for the rest of his life.
No, he may not be able to escape. The information state will definitely lock his location.
Seeing that the master mechanic still looked nonchalant, Blerim said in a deep voice, "Now, immediately, right now. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."
Li Ming's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly looked to the other side and couldn't help asking, "You don't want your weapon anymore?"
"Weapons?" Blerim suppressed his anger. "Yes, I don't want them anymore."
Li Ming frowned. Theo still didn't take action?
Theo hid in the shadows of the room, making no sound.
This was his most common method of concealment. Even when he was very close, Blerim did not notice anything.
He was confused. As soon as he came in, he heard Blerim chasing people away. He didn't know what was going on.
If that's the case, then Qinglong has no reason to take action.
However, he always felt that Qinglong's gaze was always glancing in his direction.
Is it a coincidence?
Theo frowned slightly. Li Ming had occasionally discovered his traces before, but that was when he didn't deliberately hide.
But now it has been restrained to the extreme. Logically speaking, the other party should not be able to sense it easily.
