Chapter 355 Cautious Nicolael
"Besides..." Nicholas paused, "I haven't agreed to make this deal with you yet."
"Oh?" Robin was surprised.
Nicolael asked, "Although ordinary people certainly don't know that Robin is following Li Ming, certain forces know this news. How do you prove that you are Robin?"
"Let me prove I'm me?" Robin was visibly stunned, then sneered, "Do you want me to take a photo of Li Ming right here?"
"good."
Robin paused and said coldly, "You want me to die? Do you think he's a fool? How can I take a secret photo?"
Nicolael's eyes were cold. "Yeah, I also want to ask you, how did you contact me? This...isn't it a trap?"
Albert's eyes were complicated. This was the kind of grand duke who could be awarded the title, ruthless and vigilant.
If the incident of the Hammersmith had not come to light, Reina's death would have caused Qinglong a lot of trouble.
Robin was silent, and the sound of his teeth grinding could be faintly heard. "You nobles, are all paranoid, right?"
"That bastard Li Ming kidnapped me and forced me to come to the dimensional world. Do you think I wanted to come? I teamed up with him to frame you. Am I tired of living like this?"
Nicholas rubbed his chin, and on the surface he couldn't hear what was wrong. People like Robin were just vultures chasing carrion.
"Where did you take him?" Nicholas demanded.
"...a dimensional world, but Austin's transmission channel collapsed before he arrived at the destination. The Terrax Stone in my hand was obtained from that place. By the way, that place originally belonged to the Holy Silver Civilization, but later seemed to be occupied by your Xingyuan Empire." Robin said coldly.
"Huh?" Nicholas was surprised. He didn't know about this. The dimensional world has always been the royal family's back garden. Such embarrassing news would definitely not be widely publicized.
"Then you..." Nicolael wanted to ask again, but was rudely interrupted by Robin, "Fuck, you don't believe it, and you're using my information source for free. I'm convinced."
"You're not the only ones looking for Li Ming. Get lost."
Robin cursed and ended the communication.
Nicholas's expression changed slightly, but then quickly subsided, as if he was lost in thought.
"You don't believe him?" Albert hesitated.
"The more critical the moment, the more vigilant we must be." Nicholas frowned. Although he said so, Robin's direct termination of the communication was indeed beyond his expectation.
"I think we can agree to the other party's conditions. No matter what the conditions are, he will have to show up to get them." Albert reminded.
Nicholas nodded, "It's just..."
"Are you afraid of being ambushed by Qinglong?" Albert said cautiously.
Nicola's face darkened, but he didn't try to save face. He nodded and said, "Yes, Qinglong is too mysterious. What those old guys from the Imperial Academy of Sciences said may sound alarmist, but we have to be on guard."
"Li Ming is not important. It doesn't really matter where he is. What's important is Qinglong."
"The matter of the Hammersmith is a hot topic. He will definitely not let Li Ming act on his own."
"If it's an ambush, it might be a good thing." Albert thought, "You forgot that Prince Costa is also very concerned about this matter."
Nicholas' heart skipped a beat. He almost forgot that he had always been thinking in terms of camps. He always felt that he could not use these royal people.
"If you're worried, you can just let Prince Costat take his men there in person. With him around, Qinglong won't be able to cause any trouble no matter what." Albert said.
Nicolael narrowed his eyes slightly. "If Qinglong really dares to ambush us, Prince Costa might kill him on the spot."
"That's right." Albert lowered his head.
Nicholas grinned, suddenly realizing that this actually did no harm to him at all.
He was acting on the orders of Prince Costa, and when faced with such matters, he could simply leave it to the other party to handle.
But he quickly calmed down and gave the order: "We still need to confirm Robin's condition. Send someone to contact Austin. We just need to verify whether the transmission channel has collapsed."
"I'm going to find the royal family and see what's going on in the dimension where the Terrax Stone was stolen."
Albert nodded.
…
In the room, Robin, who had just finished communicating, broke out in a cold sweat and exclaimed, "These bastards are so cunning. What a nuisance!"
Nicholas's repeated questions almost left him speechless. If he hadn't been hanging around for so long and lied so easily, he might not have been able to handle it.
"But I feel like he's about to believe it. Why did you ask me to end the communication directly?" Robin couldn't help but look at Li Ming.
"It's not that simple." Li Ming shook his head. "What you say now is just superficial. He needs to confirm your identity and then confirm whether what you say is true or not before he will truly believe what you say."
"Waiting for him to believe it is just the beginning. This time, Nicholas has the initiative and can mobilize too much power."
Robin swallowed secretly when he heard this. Although there were some shady practices at the level he had come into contact with before.
But without the resources that Nicolaj could mobilize, he could verify the authenticity from all aspects, and if there were any mistakes, he would definitely stop immediately.
"Then how can we ambush?" Robin was puzzled.
"Who said I wanted to ambush him?" Li Ming asked back.
"Why did you ask me to pretend to betray you instead of ambush him?" Robin was puzzled.
Li Ming didn't explain. He simply threw out a metal base the size of a millstone and tossed it to Robin, explaining, "The gravity adjustment device has a maximum force of 300 times. It will significantly speed up the development of gene seeds within the coverage area."
A B-level item, made as an extra when building the [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain] before.
Robin perked up slightly and rubbed it hurriedly, "I'm just about to find a gravity chamber. I had a small one on my previous spaceship, but the maximum power was only ten times."
I like rich guys like Li Ming who always throw money at people.
"What do you need me to do next?" he asked.
"Just wait." Li Ming said indifferently.
Robin scratched his head, then decided not to care anymore and returned to the room carrying the gravity generator.
"Door search..." Li Ming thought about what Robin said, hesitated for a moment, opened the navigation map, and found the Mechanics Association. "It seems that a forging room can be rented here..."
He packed up and went out, boarding a flying vehicle and heading straight for the Machinists' Association.
Basically, all mechanic branches have the business of renting out forging rooms to facilitate mechanics who are traveling or exploring.
"Sorry, non-certified intermediate mechanics cannot rent the forging room..." The prompt on the service terminal left Li Ming speechless.
After thinking for a moment, he spent half a day and passed the junior mechanic assessment, and then passed the intermediate level.
It was naturally not difficult for him, so he spent one million star coins to rent a B-level forging room for ten days.
"Dear mechanic, any damage in the forging room will be charged extra." The service terminal in the forging room reminded. The place is not too big, and various forging instruments are placed quite densely.
The first thing that caught the eye was the huge high-temperature furnace. It was made of thick black metal, and its surface emitted a dark red glow, like a beating hot heart. The outer shell was covered with complex heat dissipation patterns.
The one million is just the venue fee, all other materials will be charged extra.
Li Ming opened the service terminal and took a quick look, and found that the premium was not serious, far less than that of the Black Hole Network.
"Resonance crystal, Scania crystal, psychedelic jellyfish sap, flexible alloy..." He selected a large number of materials.
For the next three or four days, Li Ming only went out once and stayed here the whole time.
In front of the laser cutting machine, Li Ming's eyes were focused. The slender laser emission port released a hot and sharp light, cutting the crystal in his hand. The silver-gray metal material was inlaid with a blue energy indicator light, which kept flashing.
There were clanging sounds and various electric sparks bursting out continuously. The fine grinder on the forging table was small and flexible. The multi-jointed robotic arm could bend freely. The grinding head on the top rotated rapidly, making a slight buzzing sound.
Sizzle——
The dark green viscous liquid was bubbling, and the green mist it emitted was sucked away by the suction and pressure system above.
Psychedelic jellyfish fluid, with high-intensity hallucinogenic ability.
As the instrument operated, the mechanical forceps picked up a thumb-sized diamond-shaped crystal from the liquid. It was emitting a purple glow and its edges were faintly covered with a layer of green light.
Then it was placed in the ion implanter. Blue arcs flashed in the huge cylindrical container, surrounded by intricate pipes and lines.
With a dazzling light, the robotic arm took it out and placed it in the alloy shell that had been built long ago, fitting it perfectly.
[Psychic Energy Crystal--Level B: A special necklace created by mechanic Li Ming.
Control conditions: 600,000 metal energy
Control effect: Perception blessing--500%
Control Ability - Mind Control: Can control life forms below level B and interfere with level B life forms.
Very good, this is the ability. Li Ming grinned. Instead of strengthening it, he directly raised it to level A, which consumed six million metal energies.
[Mind Control] can already control Class B and interfere with Class A life forms.
Putting away the necklace, Li Ming looked to the other side. A large object was hung up by metal chains. It was made of silver-white metal and had three turbine holes on its surface. It could be clearly seen that countless thin energy conduits were intertwined with each other, like a carefully woven metal spider web, flashing with subtle electric light.
The various metal components fit together perfectly, and the precise energy core is like a shining pearl, surrounded by layers of protective devices, releasing powerful and stable pulses.
[Dimensional jump engine--special type: a spaceship engine disassembled from a shuttle.
Control conditions: 7 million metal energy
Control ability - Dimensional shuttle: After five minutes of guidance, you can shuttle through dimensional barriers and leave the current dimensional world.
This thing was exactly what he took apart from the shuttle. He couldn't control the complete spacecraft, but he could control this engine.
The effect was pretty much the same as he expected. The only thing that surprised him was that this thing was a special type of control object.
His spaceship was snatched from the Holy Mother Church. It had pretty good performance and only took five minutes to tow.
There is no level limit, as long as there is no interference, you can travel through the S-level dimensional world.
All shuttle ships in the central world are docked in special places, and those who want to leave must register. This is also an important reason why Nicolael can catch every marked person who wants to leave.
"In this way, I should be able to leave without any restrictions." Li Ming pondered. It is not cheap to control this thing. The metal energy in his body is only a little over 40 million.
After thinking about it, he temporarily put it into the folding space and was not in a hurry to control it.
"Well, I should be able to control the jump flight engine for main space travel..." he pondered.
But on second thought, I can control it, but I can't reach the destination directly. It's too torturous for my physical body to sail in the jump orbit. It's better to lie down and develop the gene seeds.
It was originally estimated that it would take ten days to create the [Psychic Energy Crystal], but it only took four days. After completing the refund procedures, Li Ming left the Mechanics Association, returned to the hotel, and continued to develop the gene seeds.
Seven days later, Li Ming was developing genetic seeds within the gravity range while looking at the virtual screen outside the gravity range, which showed some simple bird's-eye views and video materials.
"... [Dark Matter Splitting Hammer], a powerful star-destroying cannon in the Xingyuan Empire's base. Not long ago, Gaint demonstrated it against the Dominating Holy Elephant..."
The screen was playing a black beam of light that spanned the central world.
This was something he discovered by chance when he was learning about some things that had happened before.
[Dark Matter Fission Hammer] must be a star-destroying cannon. It was deployed very early and is said to have not been used for a long time.
It was originally used for defense, to annihilate some giant life forms wandering in the dimensional world.
There are not only the Xingyuan Empire’s bases, but also bases of several other civilizations and forces, to a greater or lesser extent.
It also involves a historical issue. These dimensional worlds were not originally integrated, and they even attacked each other.
Li Ming glanced at the screen, absorbing all kinds of information. After two or three hours, he glanced at the time, switched the [Communicator], and routinely checked Qinglong's Black Hole Network background.
His Black Hole network account is no longer a big secret. Many people have added him, even some S-level life forms and Casting-star mechanics, but he ignored them.
But today is a little different.
"It's finally here." Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, put away the [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain], and looked at the note on the screen - Holy Mother Church.
He has been curious for a while. What on earth is the Star of Eternal Silence?
After I submitted my friend request, about ten minutes later, the other party directly initiated a communication request, but it was just a voice message.
Li Ming was already prepared. After answering the call, a gentle voice rang out, "Your Excellency Qinglong, this is our first communication. Hello."
The other person's attitude was very gentle, and his voice contained a calming power.
"What's your name?" Li Ming asked lightly.
"Call me Prophet." Prophet? Li Ming's eyes were strange. The title of Prophet could only be held by the special leaders of the Sisterhood of the Adeptus Ordos, passed down from generation to generation, according to the few materials he knew so far.
The prophet inherited not only the title, but also something else, and was highly respected within the Holy Mother Church.
