This is not mechanical ascension.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do. After all, we are partners." Li Ming responded kindly.

Kostat was angry and helpless. He had no choice. Qinglong was clearly here to kill Ryan.

But the problem was that Qinglong's timing was too good. The unknown attacker was ambushing him, and Ryan had escaped.

If Ryan had escaped successfully and Qinglong had not taken action, he would have been in danger today.

In disguise, Qinglong really saved his life.

Of course, there must be a better way to deal with it. Qinglong could have saved Ryan's life without the second hammer.

But this kind of thing can't be put on the table.

Just like they cheated Qinglong, everyone knew what they were thinking, but the thing had already happened, Qinglong could only admit it, and didn't argue with them about what they had promised before. There was no point in saying it.

This time is the same. Unless they can get back the place in a crushing way, otherwise Qinglong swallowed the loss, then they have to swallow it too.

However, he didn't know how to explain it to Adam, so Costat sighed again.

In an experimental base somewhere on the Empire's home planet, people were coming and going, and everywhere was full of hurried experimenters.

Adam stood in front of a huge cylindrical glass tank, in which a blood-colored column floated, like a dead tree without leaves, with blood-colored ripples flowing on the surface.

Next to him stood a middle-aged woman in a lab coat, who seemed to be the person in charge here.

Adam looked down at the data on the virtual screen, frowning slightly, "Did it fluctuate again just now?"

"Yes, this is the second extremely obvious fluctuation since the successful fusion of the World Blood with it. The first one was three days ago."

The middle-aged woman nodded and quickly called up the relevant data, which was a series of waveforms. She explained in a low voice:

"More than ten minutes ago, there was another fluctuation, but the duration was not long."

"However, the sensing ability of the World Blood was severely weakened in the main universe, and it is impossible to locate the specific coordinates.

We are still optimizing it."

"Three days ago--" Adam frowned slightly. As a holy emperor, he would not be directly responsible for this matter. Generally, he only needs to know the result.

It's just that this thing fluctuated twice in a short period of time, which is unusual, so it was reported to him.

"Three days ago, wasn't it the time when Ryan and Qinglong fought?" Adam thought of it at the first time, and the suspect naturally fell on Qinglong.

Qinglong is Talos?

It's not that there is no such possibility. The origin of Qinglong is mysterious and no clues can be found. If it is a dimensional life form, then many aspects can be explained.

"No, that mecha is just an empty shell, and there is no one inside." He shook his head again.

The universe is so big, how can it be so easy to determine the target.

"Under what circumstances will such fluctuations occur?" Adam couldn't help asking.

The person in charge quickly explained: "According to Kronoa, this thing should be able to lock the target all the time, but the life form named Taros should have some means to cover it up. Only in a specific state, it can't be covered up and it will be captured. The most likely possibility is in combat."

"Combat state?" Adam pondered. The possibility of Qinglong was even lower. The other party should be in the old nest now. How could he be in combat?

As he was thinking, his personal smart terminal with him vibrated slightly, and screen data that no one else could see popped up on his retina.

Someone initiated a communication request, it was Costat.

He frowned slightly. Costat would only contact through a private terminal if there was extremely important news.

It was a signal channel built by a dedicated line, not transferred through the star network, and was extremely strict.

Did Ryan reveal some important news and figure out his collaborator?

He was moved slightly. This was what he cared about most. He immediately ordered: "Continue to optimize and try to locate the coordinates."

"Understood." The person in charge nodded and watched Adam leave.

Back in the slightly simple private room, Adam called back. As soon as the signal was established, Costat answered, and a slightly serious face appeared on the screen.

Huh? Adam felt something was wrong at the first time, because Costat's background was a dark starry sky, not in a spaceship, and his face was not very good.

"Ko--" When he was about to ask, his pupils suddenly contracted. A figure looked out of the camera and he blurted out, "Qinglong?"

Adam's face changed slightly, and he was a little out of control. He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. How could Qinglong stay with Costat?

Costa's face also changed. He seemed to want to push Qinglong away, but he might feel it was too indecent, so he withdrew his hand.

"Your Excellency the Holy Emperor?" Li Ming looked at the face on the screen that could hardly find any flaws, and secretly sighed, "This is the first time we have talked. It's an honor to meet you."

Adam's expression had been restrained, and his tone was calm: "I didn't expect that Your Excellency Qinglong would appear. It's really unexpected."

"The accident that the Holy Emperor heard today has just begun." Li Ming said in a calm tone, "Just now, a suspected collaborator of Ryan raided Prince Costat's spaceship with the intention of rescuing him. It can be said to be extremely dangerous."

"Oh?" Adam's premonition in his heart became stronger, and Costat's face was not good.

Li Ming explained thoughtfully: "But don't worry, sir. I suspected that this guy would not be caught safely, so I made preparations. In the gift I gave you, I arranged something that would allow me to temporarily teleport. Come and just save Prince Costart.”

"Really?" Adam stared at the mecha head on the screen, expressionless, and asked the most critical question: "Where is Ryan?"

"He was in critical condition at the time. I had no choice but to kill him." A careless voice came through the screen.

Qinglong!

After his guess was verified, Adam's palms tightened, his eyes changed, and he revealed a smile, "Then I really want to thank you, Mr. Qinglong, for not letting Ryan's plan succeed."

This guy is so good at cultivating qi. Li Ming could hardly see any flaws in the other person's face and responded: "It doesn't matter, this is what I should do. Rui En is unruly. After he escaped from trouble, he actually threatened to kill him." Prince Costart, this is his biological brother."

Adam's expression was slightly dull, and he quickly adjusted himself. The meaning was unclear, "However, if this happens again in the future, it is best to inform us in advance to avoid misunderstandings."

"If there hadn't been this ambush, wouldn't your gift have been delivered directly to me? Could it be that one day it would have appeared directly in front of me?"

"I have no choice but to obey the authority in urgent matters. I am also thinking about the empire." Li Ming did not fall for Adam's trick.

Adam also knew that since things had happened, it was impossible to say anything openly. He could only try to make up for the losses, and immediately said:

"I remember His Excellency Qinglong told us before that he didn't know much about Ryan's actions, but now it seems that

It seems that a lot of information has been concealed, and he even guessed that someone would rescue Ryan. "

Li Ming also understood that he must give something to comfort him now, "I just have some uncertain information. There is a man named Alchemy Baron who came out of nowhere a few months ago and came into contact with Ryan. ”

"Alchemist Baron——" Adam murmured this name, which was very unfamiliar.

"That's right. I've been investigating for a long time but haven't found any relevant information, so I didn't say anything last time." Li Ming was only going to reveal the name Alchemist Baron Levin Baker, and he would definitely not say it.

Adam took a deep look at the mecha and said: "Costat, the one closest to your coordinates is the Servenleni Great Britain Association. I will notify them to send a spaceship to pick you up."

"Two ships." Li Ming added, "I can only replace them, but I can't exchange them back."

"I understand. Are you interested in visiting the empire, Your Excellency Qinglong?" Adam extended the invitation.

"No, I have something else to do." Li Ming naturally refused.

After ending the communication, Adam stood there, his expression changed, and he was a little annoyed, and finally he shouted coldly: "Qinglong!"

The impact of this incident was not only that it killed Ryan, but the key was that he had no explanation to the House of Lords. The request of those senior members to vote was that Ryan must be kept.

This is also the benefit he promised to the House of Commons, claiming that Ryan has the possibility of leading to the ultimate evolutionary body.

It is only through the combination of various factors that the three parties will work together.

Now that Ryan is beaten to death by Qinglong, it is very likely that his whole body will be affected.

Adam quickly calmed down and sighed: "After all, it's not perfect."

If Ryan were alive, the whole thing would be perfect.

Now that he is dead, there is no use in being upset. What he should consider is how to end it.

The simplest way is to clarify the truth to the Upper House and Lower House, and then capture Qinglong.

But this is obviously impossible. Regardless of whether Qinglong is found or not, Qinglong will still be of great use in his follow-up plan and is a key figure.

However, calculating the time, the time that just fluctuated seems to match the time when Qinglong took action, and the possibility of Qinglong condensing to Talos has once again increased.

"Blue Dragon, Talos--" Adam murmured. If this matter could be verified, he could recover some losses, and fell into a long silence again.

For five full days, most of the spaceships that gathered near the Mechanical Royal Court to watch the excitement had already left.

The transport ships of various companies are back online with the Mechanical Royal Court.

Wang Ting has already accumulated a large batch of goods, some of which have even exceeded the delivery period stipulated in the contract.

But no one filed for liquidated damages.

These big companies that usually eat people without spitting out their bones, now generously expressed that they could understand the situation of the Mechanical Royal Court, and then expressed their desire to sign a larger contract with them.

Ulrich was still on the way and Li Ming was not here either, so Suzaku simply asked them to wait.

On the interstellar network, the confrontation and fighting between Qinglong and Ruien have gradually dissipated.

The battles are not very interesting to watch. They are all large groups of energy waves. Only a few figures can be seen occasionally. In addition, most of the life forms have no real concept of this level. They only know that it is very powerful.

After a few days of intense discussion, the heat gradually dissipated.

But another thing related to Qinglong gradually boiled up until it swept across the stars.

The Star Cluster Republican Alliance issued a statement--

[In the Sea of ​​Stars, more than 156 living planets were found to have turned into silence. Thirty-four low-level civilizations and six intermediate-level civilizations disappeared forever. The death toll exceeded 200 billion. The direct suspect was former Empire Ryan Prince! 】

It was only at this time that many interstellar life forms understood the scale and level of the so-called interstellar massacre that Prince Costat mentioned at that time!

There are more than a hundred living planets and dozens of civilizations.

It can be said that this is the most unheard-of massacre in the past thousand years.

After the detailed data came out, it really triggered heated discussions, and there were also a lot of picture data. The silent city was lifeless, the empty baby carriage, the family portrait covered with dust--and so on.

This quickly aroused the anger of a large number of interstellar life forms, but they could not vent it for a while.

After all, the instigator had been deprived of his princely title and sentenced to death by the Empire in public.

He couldn't find a target even if he wanted to rush, like a headless fly.

In this case, some people even praised the Empire's courage and error correction ability, and acted quickly,

directly taking down an Imperial prince and killing his relatives for the sake of justice.

Or complaining about the inefficiency of the Star Cluster Republic Alliance, which had not found any information for such a long time.

And praised Qinglong's righteousness, risking being regarded as an enemy by the Empire to expose this matter.

After all, before contacting the Empire, no one knew how the other party would react to the massacre of a prince.

Others have discovered that the top rulers of those civilizations were not massacred, but changed their identities, fled to other places, and lived freely.

This group of people was condemned the most, and they demanded the death penalty.

The interstellar network was in chaos, and most ordinary life forms always felt that something was strange, but they couldn't say it.

If you want to condemn the empire, you will be suffocated by "The empire has done this, what else do you want them to do?"

However, you can fool the bottom, but not the top.

The Star Cluster Republican Alliance immediately issued a stern statement, demanding that the empire hand over the murderer and execute him under the joint supervision of the multi-party interstellar alliance.

Moreover, in the Sea of ​​Stars, an unprecedented massive protest was launched, claiming that the empire's garrison abroad was a cancer and the murderer of the interstellar massacre.

It is obvious that they want to take the opportunity to completely remove the empire's garrison abroad.

At the first moment, the Empire once again made a decision that shocked everyone--

[Due to the "Sea of ​​Stars Massacre" incident, the Empire felt guilty about its original intention of maintaining interstellar security. From today on, the Empire will gradually withdraw all garrison bases in the Sea of ​​Stars, and severely punish all soldiers and officers who violated interstellar law. All parties in the interstellar are welcome to supervise. ]

The interstellar world is shaken again!

What is courage? This is courage!

In just half a day, many interstellar political commentators jumped out to analyze what impact this move would have on the interstellar situation.
