This is not mechanical ascension.

"A gift?" Costat felt a little strange and felt wary.

Qinglong was tricked by them, and he prepared gifts. He didn't want to trick them in turn, right?

But not reaching out to hit the smiling man, Costart hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "I'll wait here."

Li Ming smiled and nodded, ending the communication.

If what Li Ming said was true, a spaceship would dock with them just over ten minutes later.

A team of humanoid robots came up with a metal box. After being inspected three times inside and outside, it took more than ten minutes before it was delivered to Costart.

"Your Highness, this is a gift from His Excellency Qinglong." The person who came to deliver the gift was Ford, who had undergone plastic surgery. He was polite and thoughtful, and he was still neither humble nor overbearing in the face of Costart, a big shot like he had never seen before.

Kostat frowned slightly, and his subordinates had already handed over the smart terminal, which displayed various detection data and three-dimensional models of the internal items.

"This is a—small mecha?"

Costat had a strange look on his face, Ford nodded, walked forward calmly, opened the metal box, and said with his hand: "

Made by Qinglong - Xijinlan hand-made mecha model.

Costart took a look and saw that the mecha model was only one meter high, almost exactly the same as the one worn by Qinglong. The surface was blue and gold, the appearance was exquisite, and the details were well processed.

Qinglong What does this mean?

Costart subconsciously speculated that mocking the Holy Emperor was just an empty shell?

"The things have been delivered, I'm leaving first." Ford bowed, and then led the people away.

After the other party left, Costat took the mecha model out of the small box and looked at the test data: "It's just an ordinary Xijin material. It doesn't emit any waveband or spectrum to the outside world. The information state is also stable. It's not a locator. ?”

After looking at it for a long time, he jerked, leaving a small crater on the metal arm. It looked like there was nothing wrong with it.

"Is it necessary?" Costat shook his head and asked someone to pack the things. Since he was sure there would be no problem, he would definitely take them back intact.

He raised his head and saw through the porthole again the almost invisible fleet of spaceships. After hesitating for a moment, he still gave the order: "Let the frigates clear a path.

"yes!"

He needs to take away not only his own fleet, but also the battleships brought by Ryan.

The combined scale of the two is huge, especially the Anusius. As a small interstellar fortress, it is really troublesome to move.

Moreover, they had to jump in line. Many spaceships received orders from the empire and were very dissatisfied, but they did not dare to say anything and they all got out of the way.

It took nearly two or three hours before the empire's fleet completely entered the star gate.

In another inconspicuous-looking small spaceship in the team, the navigator withdrew his eyes from the Imperial fleet flying in front of him, with a gloomy look on his face.

This time, the Pioneers were completely defeated. They originally wanted to use Ryan's incident to expand their results, but the final result was completely different from what they imagined.

"Qinglong--" The navigator was angry. This guy actually turned around and cooperated with the empire. There was no guarantee that the other party would not sell the pioneer.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have been checked and balanced at the beginning, but now he has become too big to lose. No one can figure out Qinglong's background, let alone how much information he has leaked to the empire.

"I have been planning for many years, and I can't let you ruin it for me." His eyes were cold, and he seemed to have made up his mind. It would take a long time to return. After entering the stargate navigation state, Costart carried the metal box.

Walk through the corridor and come to your room.

Before entering the room, he temporarily let his assistant look at the box in his hand.

"I guess this guy wants to contact Adam. He is very well-educated."

In the box, Li Ming, who had already possessed the mecha model, muttered to himself.

A new trick can be used everywhere. He still uses the old method, possessing himself on a small vehicle and easily evading all detection equipment.

After entering the room, Costart activated various shielding measures and contacted his elder brother.

"Holy Emperor——" He nodded at the screen, "We have entered the star gate and started to return."

"Yes." Adam nodded. The entire battle process was broadcast live and communicated in real time. He already knew most of the things and everything was expected.

"Did Qinglong have no attitude afterwards?" he asked.

"It seemed like he was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't do anything." Costat thought about it, looking at Adam with admiration in his eyes:

"This matter has both advantages and disadvantages for him. Moreover, it is an olive branch from us. I don't believe that the benefits to him from the pioneer can be greater than ours."

"After this incident, I'm afraid there will be a lot of criticism among the pioneers. The day of defection is very close."

Adam said calmly: "I didn't switch sides for him."

"Isn't it to make him switch sides?" Costat paused slightly, and he couldn't help but have many doubts in his heart, but he also noticed that Adam was playing a big game of chess, and he could only vaguely figure out the context until now.

He wouldn't ask what Adam didn't want to say. He just passed it through his mind and said, "By the way, Qinglong gave you a gift?"

"A gift?" Adam, who looked calm, was obviously interested: "What gift?"

"A model mecha uses very ordinary materials," Costart said.

"?" The confusion in Adam's eyes flashed away, "Trying that I'm just an empty shell?"

His first reaction was the same as Costart's, and then he smiled casually, "Since you gave it as a gift, bring it back to me, or just use it as a decoration."

Neither of them paid much attention, but Adam calmed down and said, "One more thing, you should be careful on the way here?"

"Will there be an ambush?" Costart's face suddenly became serious.

"Qinglong's intelligence only talks about what Ryan did, but I don't believe that Ryan himself has this special technology." Adam pondered, "This is the only uncertain variable, there is no guarantee that rescue will not happen."

Finally, Adam solemnly said: "We must ensure Ryan's safety. He is very valuable and has the possibility of becoming the ultimate life form. Maybe it is hidden in his body."

"I understand." Kostat promised in a deep voice: "Whoever wants to touch Ryan must step over my body."

"No -" Adam shook his head and softened his expression: "If it is really dangerous, saving your life is more important. There are new clues in the Star of Eternal Silence, and you need to deal with them."

Costart's face was tense and he nodded heavily.

After the communication ended, Costat looked at the dark screen and frowned slightly. After a long time, he switched the page.

He ordered in a deep voice: "Bring Ryan out and send me a small battleship."

After ending the communication, Adam slowly exhaled, looked at the huge star map in front of him, and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab everything in his hand.

"All this has just begun-"

When Ruoyou Ruowu's voice came out, his eyes seemed to glow with blazing light, and the corners of his mouth trembled, as if he was about to grin.

Then it converged and finally fell silent.

In the lower spaceship cabin of the Golden Hunting Blade, several figures walked quietly. Wherever they went, all the surveillance probes turned away.

In front of an inconspicuous small transport spacecraft, Prince Costart pressed one hand on Ryan, and his subordinates were reporting:

"It has been arranged. No one knows that you are taking Ryan on board this small spaceship. We will return according to the established trajectory."

"Yes." Costa nodded, "We can separate at the next star gate node."

"Are you afraid of someone ambushing you, Qinglong?" Ruian was still sneering. He had already put on more onerous restraints, like a suit of heavy armor, with almost only his head exposed.

Costat ignored him and just pushed him into the cabin suddenly. Ryan hit the wall on his knees with an ugly look on his face.

"Bapuluo, give me the box." When he entered the door, he looked at his men again and stretched out his hand.

The other party handed over the box where Qinglong's gift was stored. Since Adam had said to bring it back to him, he would naturally make sure that everything was safe. This thing was the safest if it stayed with him.

After entering the spacecraft, the hatch is closed and the synchronized sailing state is started. The empire's fleet can even release small spacecraft in the stargate jump channel.

Everything is intelligently automated, and Costat doesn't have to worry about anything. He and Ryan are the only two people in the narrow cabin.

Putting the box at his feet, Costart sat in front of Ryan with a solemn expression: "Ryan, who are you working with?"

"Why, you want to interrogate me?" Ryan, with messy hair, raised his head, leaned the back of his head on the metal shell, and said casually: "You are not qualified enough, let Adam do it."

"You are no longer a prince, you are just an ordinary citizen of the empire." Costat snorted coldly, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a bad tone:

"On your own, you definitely don't have this ability. Your state seems to be very wrong and there must be side effects."

"I don't have this ability?" Ryan glanced at him, "Yes, Costa, you have learned to anger me." However, don't forget, if you want to anger someone, the premise is that the other person takes you seriously. "

Kostat's face was ugly and he scolded coldly: "Ryan, do you know that your actions have completely disgraced the empire!"

"You were the one who brought this matter to light, right?" Ryan's eyes were grim.

"Do you think we are the only ones who know!" Costat said in a deep voice, "Qinglong is just the first one to find us. There must be a second and third one. You have too many loopholes in what you do!"

Rui En still seemed unconcerned, "Didn't Qinglong tell you who is cooperating with me?"

Costat's tone softened, "Qinglong and we are just using each other. If he wants to deal with you, we can't get around it. You have already done it, so we can only use this as a last resort."

"He requested that you be executed on the spot, but Holy Emperor Adam sternly refused."

"Ryan, the empire is declining day by day, and there are many internal conflicts. It's not like you can't see it. We are all the royal family, why can't we work together?"

"Work together?" Ryan's eyes suddenly condensed, "I want to kill Qinglong, can you help me?"

Costart hesitated: "Not for the time being, he still has great use."

"But don't worry, when everything settles, we will help you handle everything." He said sincerely.

"Ha..." Li Ming listened clearly in the box, and was not surprised at all by Kostat's statement. These guys can eat people without spitting out their bones.

However, he also captured a message that the empire seemed to have other ideas for him.

"interesting."

Rui En stared at him, but sneered: "Sure enough, he is our respectable Holy Emperor who is treacherous and does not hesitate to pay the price. When he killed my mother and my wife, why didn't he talk about working together?"

Kostat's face changed slightly, and the back of Ryan's head tilted back, and with a bang, it hit the metal shell again.

The tone is cold:

"Don't think that I don't know why you don't kill me. You are just curious about why I have become so powerful. You should really listen to Qinglong and kill me on the spot."

"Winners take away the losers. I have nothing to say. He did win this time, but you'd better pray that he keeps winning."

"Qinglong will regret cooperating with you one day."

Costa shook his head. He talked for a long time but didn't get any useful information. He expected that at their level, they couldn't be persuaded by a few words.

The cabin fell into silence. A few hours later, they switched the stargate node.

An inconspicuous small spaceship in the Imperial Fleet changed its direction and took another route.

In the silent universe, several inconspicuous figures stood here, all covered with black robes, with their heads drooping, and their appearances were different.

"Hmm?" A humanoid figure standing in the center of the field slowly raised his head, with an ugly face. It was Levenbeck. There was blood in his eyes and he was quite surprised.

"Divided from the main force, Kostad is guarding against me."

"What a pity—it's useless."

Levenbeck stretched out his hand, and a figure standing on the left walked out, holding his palm up, and then tore the space.

He will not give up on Ryan, the experimental subject. He has not yet studied the balance mechanism of alchemical substances and Terrax blood. Even if he finds another royal family member, he may not be able to reproduce Ryan's situation.

Although this guy is reckless and impulsive, he is just a little smart, but his mind is indeed far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Thinking, several figures sank into the crack.

".-According to the information left by the hammersmith, a new space-time distortion area was found. According to the parameter comparison,

There is a 95% probability that it was created by the Star of Eternal Silence." He frowned "".-The area is located near the Red River Basin in the deep dimensional world, the Red River Star Stream? "

In the driver's seat, Prince Costat looked at the intelligence. This small spaceship did not have the ability to communicate in the stargate channel. These were the data he had received through the Golden Hunting Blade before.

After returning, he would continue to take over this work without stopping, and was familiarizing himself in advance.

"The Red River Star Stream runs through the main universe and the deep dimensional world. If the Star of Eternal Silence is really in there, it will be a lot of trouble--" He pondered and checked the information carefully.

However, a few hours later, the spacecraft suddenly sounded an alarm, "Warning, space parameters are disordered, and it is about to fall out of the stargate channel. Please prepare for a collision!"

"Warning."

"Huh?" Costat's face changed slightly, and when he looked up, he saw that the space energy that was originally restricted in the surroundings had become extremely violent.
