This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 463: We are a family! Descendants of the Titans
"Dad, Dad!" Seth was obviously used to it. He took a quick step and suddenly hugged the sturdy arm from the side. "Listen to me, listen to me, these are all big shots!"

"What big shot?" The other party didn't listen at all. He threw Seth against the wall with a flick of his hand, knocking over the shelf next to it, and the debris rolled all over the floor.

"What a big shot! He...he is Qinglong's student, and this...is an even more important big shot!" Seth got anxious and shouted loudly.

These are all important people who can kill people. Even if we destroy their entire star gate node, there probably won’t be any trouble.

"Qinglong's student?" Old Fate was at a loss, and then looked at Li Ming doubtfully.

And Florian, his breathing becoming more rapid and his face becoming more red.

Seth breathed a sigh of relief and was about to feel proud of himself, but he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes and a slap as big as a palm fan landed on his face.

Bang—his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Old Fate gnashed his teeth, his face extremely ugly: "You can even make up such a lie, I think you are getting more and more daring. Rather than dying out there one day, it's better for me to kill my relatives for the sake of justice!"

After the slap, several of Seth's teeth were broken, his cheeks swelled up quickly, his speech became incoherent, and his face looked dazed.

Old Fate then looked at Li Ming and the others and said in a deep voice, "My friends, I don't know how much money my useless son has taken from you. I will return it all to you. If you want to eat, you'd better go out and line up first."

This person is quite principled, Li Ming smiled slightly.

After a while, they sat in the only two private rooms.

Seth stood nearby, holding an ice pack on his face, muttering, "No tears until you see the coffin."

After a while, the old man came in with a big plate in his hand. On it was the most famous roasted Star Stream black snake. The surface was black and it didn't look very good.

It was obvious that he tried to force out a smile, but he gave up in the end and put the food in front of the people in front of him. He said in a muffled voice, "Sorry to bother you."

Florian reached into his arms with his withered palm and took out a gold coin and placed it on the table: "The recommendation gold coin of Black Prison Academy. With this thing, you can ignore any requirements for admission."

"This child is not too old, he can still be saved."

Fett's eyes lit up, he picked it up and carefully put it in his arms.

Seth's throat rolled and his face stiffened. Black Prison Academy was the most rigorous academy among several nearby civilizations. It was also very famous, and every graduate would be snatched away by various legions.

Rumor has it that he often wails at night, all because of the sorrow of his students.

After the two left the room, Li Ming peeled off the dark roast meat. The meat was pink and rosy, and the stimulating taste spread on his taste buds. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "It really tastes great. No wonder there is such a long queue here."

"Sir Florian, and this..." He looked at Clyde. Until now, Florian had not told him Clyde's name.

"My name is Clyde." Clyde stood up and extended his hand politely.

Li Ming also stood up and the two shook hands.

"Mr. Li Ming, can you..." Clyde hesitated and held the smart terminal.

"Oh, a photo, right?" Li Ming looked at the other party's smart terminal: "No problem."

The two walked aside, and Clyde looked very excited. "I have a friend who admires you very much. If she saw this photo, she would be very happy."

Li Ming glanced at him and his hands itched, wanting to draw some blood, but out of consideration for Florian, he did not do it.

The two fiddled with it for a while before Florian spoke up: "Li Ming, can you please meet His Majesty Qinglong?"

Li Ming suddenly realized: "Okay, I'll inform the teacher right away."

He pretended to close his eyes, and the next moment, the tank guard attached himself, the vest was switched, and Qinglong came online.

Then, Florian tapped the table with his dry branch-like fingers, and invisible ripples slowly expanded, covering the three people.

Clyde was a little reserved and sat aside. Florian spoke first, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Lord Qinglong also passed by here."

As soon as Florian finished speaking, Li Ming immediately said: "Your Excellency, don't doubt it. It's just because the star gate node was bombed, so I can only transit here."

"Sir, are you going to Red River Star Stream too? Is it because of the Mechanics Association?" Florian suddenly realized.

"Also? Do you want to get involved as well?"

Li Ming keenly caught the other party's tone and couldn't help but ask back.

Florian looked hesitant and thought to himself that he wanted to continue speaking along with Qinglong's words.

But when I think about the fact that the two of them might collaborate in the future, if I’m not honest now, there will probably be endless trouble.

So, he carefully considered his words: "My destination and Lord Qinglong's goal should not be the same."

"Oh?" Li Ming's eyes flickered slightly. Through the tank guard, his gaze fell on Lelaide next to him. He wondered secretly, not knowing whether there was any connection between them.

He asked knowingly, "The life form that was ambushed today seems to be one that I have never seen before in the interstellar space. Even its species does not seem to match, and its methods are somewhat strange. The castle seems to be connected to itself. I wonder what the other party's origins are?"

Florian shook his head: "I don't really know the other party's purpose."

I really don’t know, or it’s hard to say?

Li Ming's heart was slightly moved, but he did not ask further about this matter. He simply pointed out the topic, "Your Excellency mentioned before that the information should be the blood of the world."

Florian responded: "Don't worry, sir, it is the blood of the world."

Li Ming immediately asked: "Okay, in that case, should we settle the reward first?"

He had been thinking about this information for a long time, and thought that he would have to wait for some time, wait for some opportunity, and spend some money before he could get it.

But Florian looked embarrassed: "In fact, you may have to wait for a while. The information about the World Blood is not yet available."

After saying this, Li Ming's voice became much deeper. "The reputation of the Holy Revolutionary Army has always been good, so I helped you without hesitation before."

Florian was so embarrassed that he simply confessed, "Actually, this is the case. We were originally planning to give you the information on the World Blood."

"Give it to me?" Li Ming did not comment.

Florian sighed and explained slowly: "As a member of the ten-member council, you are naturally aware that the Higher Life Forms United Organization has launched an attack on us."

"The situation is serious this time. The higher life forms are trying to establish their authority, and with the help of the Empire, they are aiming to completely destroy us."

"But neither you nor Anduin voted in favor, so we wanted to win you over. The bargaining chip we were prepared to offer was the blood of the world."

Li Ming was quite surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing in secret. It was good that he could demonstrate his own united front value.

Florian shook his head secretly. This was the original price and it had already been used.

If you want to win over Qinglong, you may have to pay more.

"Your Excellency is sincere, but..." Li Ming said calmly, "How long do I need to wait? What if you still can't get the relevant information about the World Blood?"

Who knows whether what Florian said is true or not, Li Ming will not believe it easily.

Florian was not surprised. If he were in Qinglong's position, he would also be suspicious. He glanced at Clyde beside him, and then Clyde suddenly became confused and could not hear anything, but he had already had this experience once, so he simply ignored it and ate in silence.

"Sir Qinglong, do you know about the Pioneer?" Florian asked in a deep voice.

Li Ming's heart suddenly jumped, and he had a premonition in his heart, "You are not..."

"Yes, I am the guide." Florian nodded and took out a black ring, similar to the one in Li Ming's hand.

The guide, one of the four core members of the Pioneers, is Florian?

Li Ming's expression became very interesting, but also vaguely reasonable.

This really exposed the truth. Li Ming thought about it, but then he thought of the Bloodfaller and couldn't help asking, "Did you establish the Pioneers?"

"No." Florian shook his head. "I was secretly invited to join the Pioneers. When I joined, the Bloodfallen and the Navigator were already there."

"I was very wary of this organization at first, but after a long time, I slowly began to believe in it."

Li Ming thought for a moment, "So you don't know the identities of these two people, but you know the identity of the other guy?"

Florian explained: "I don't know. The Forger was also secretly invited by the Bloodfallen and the Navigator."

Li Ming pondered, "Over the years, have you never speculated about the identities of the other three people?"

"I have guessed, but we don't often take action." Florian said helplessly, "Including me, we are very cautious in our actions."

Adam is really ruthless. Since Florian is the Guide, if the Navigator is not his man, he is probably someone who is extremely hostile to the Empire, and the Forger should be similar.

Through the pioneers, the enemies of the empire were connected, and finally they were all wiped out in one fell swoop to establish supreme authority.

Then what role do I play?
Li Ming thought about this again, but still couldn't figure it out.

"So, please rest assured, sir. I am absolutely sincere, and the Holy Revolutionary Army is equally sincere. Even if we cannot obtain the World Blood, there will be other ways to compensate." Florian said, revealing his identity not only to reassure Qinglong.

It also gave him a sense of "comradeship", which radiated to the Holy Revolutionary Army and provided a foundation for in-depth cooperation.

Li Ming did not comment. The Pioneers were still working on the Star of Eternal Silence and keeping an eye on the progress of the Empire.

Adam is still useful to the pioneers, so even if they are discovered, they will have to keep him for the time being.

He had no sense of belonging to the pioneers, they were just tools, and he would not have any thoughts about them because of their identities.

But with Florian's attitude, he didn't mind waiting a little longer.

"In that case, why don't we go to the Red River Star Stream together." Li Ming took the initiative to suggest.

"That's exactly what I meant." Florian agreed decisively.

He didn't know what methods the ambushers had. He had been careful enough, but he was still targeted. He felt more at ease when he was with Qinglong.

It was Clyde... He was suspicious, wondering whether the other party had noticed Clyde's abnormality.

After the tank guard was lifted, Li Ming was in a trance again, and then heaved a long sigh of relief, "Finally I can eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked down and saw that the plates were empty. Clyde looked embarrassed and said, "I'll ask Dad to add some more..."

……

"what happened!"

Outside the star gate node, the spirit leader was angry, staring at the crystal ball in front of him, with a cold light in his one eye.

"We found the bloodline of Saint King Terrax, but he didn't even trigger the King Trial."

The Sacred Crystal is integral to the Eternal Throne and can only be activated using special methods to reveal secrets related to the Terraxians.

A few years ago, the start of the King's Trial was revealed, and then came the awakening of the bloodline of Holy King Terrax, a powerful life form who was the only one who had passed the King's Trial.

This and that made everyone think that the person who was undergoing the trial to become the king was of the same bloodline as Saint King Terrax.

But the fact is not so, the bloodline of the Holy King is important, but the trial to become a king is the most important.

That would be the highest authority that could inherit all the holy castles. All the secrets hidden by Terrax and all the inheritance left behind would be open to him.

The two men behind him looked at each other, and the tall one whispered, "Should we break this portal and trap him here?"

“No.” The Spirit Leader shook his head. “The Azure Dragon has a high status and can gather many people to help us. We can’t take him down in a short time. Once we make a move, we will be in trouble if we are caught.”

The strength of this star field is also stronger than one could imagine. If they reveal their identities, they will be besieged and hunted down in an instant.

"Moreover, someone in this star field actually opened the Holy Castle. This is unbelievable..." His face changed. He had learned more information through the black hole network and was becoming more and more surprised.

"Then we..." the tall man hesitated, "what should we do next?"

"Wait..." The spirit leader uttered a word, "They are in the light, we are in the dark, this is our advantage."

……

After finishing their meal, they decided to rest here. There were many empty rooms in the store. The Star Flow Black Snake tasted good, but Li Ming hadn't eaten enough.

Florian went out, ready to use some means to leave here as soon as possible.

Outside the room, the lobby was noisy, and most people were discussing one thing.

"…The castle suddenly disappeared, but a lot of people were kidnapped…"

"It has been reported. The garrison will arrive in two days at the latest..."

"It's really scary. Luckily I had something else to do and didn't buy a ticket to go in..."

"I heard that a few people came out at that time, but their positions were vague and no one knew who they were..."

The sudden disappearance of the castle and the disappearance of a large number of spectators have caused widespread discussion and made people panic and want to leave as soon as possible.

After listening for a while, Li Ming returned to his room. Although it was small, it was clean and regularly cleaned.

Glancing at the smart terminal, Reynolds asked him where he was and how long it would take.

"How impatient..." Li Ming couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that Reynolds and Mikhail would definitely be unhappy if he came here alone.

We have to find a way to fool these two old guys.

With a simple response, he put it away.

The force field bounced back, and he took out a piece of metal debris from the folded space--
