Arad's Sword

Chapter 261 Victoria's Decision

Originally, as the navigator of the Spice Route and the true owner of the Narwhal, being able to cross it smoothly was something worth celebrating.

What's more, this trade is extraordinary, and its profits will determine whether Victoria can continue to gain a foothold in the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce, and even defeat her two elder brothers.

However, after wandering around the edge of the ice cloud circle for a while, witnessing the scene of Midi beheading a huge cloud beast like a god of war descended from the sky, the struggle within the chamber of commerce, the joy of crossing the black cloud circle, etc., in the current Victoria It seems, but it seems that it has become an insignificant thing.

What's more, there is that ice soul bead.

Midi got it in ten minutes.

But its value is so great that even Victoria, who has always had a very high vision, finds it inconceivable.

Is this the real big storm area?
The ridiculous thing is that, as the person closest to the big storm area and mastering the spice route, Victoria never thought of exploring and exploring it in depth. On the contrary, she feared and stayed away from it.In retrospect, what a stupid and short-sighted idea.

If you don't move forward, you will be left behind one day, right?
Looking at the black-haired human youth on the deck, the celestial girl thought so, and finally made a decision.

"Master Blade, I have a question I want to ask you." Victoria walked up to Midi, at a very close or even ambiguous distance, but her tone was serious to the point of seriousness.

"Miss Victoria, please be straightforward. As long as it is within the scope of my knowledge, I will naturally know everything and say everything." Midi smiled and replied lightly.

Is it finally here?

Midi thought so in her heart.

I have shown so many secrets and values ​​about the big storm area. Now, it seems that I have finally begun to change the deep-rooted fear of the big storm area in the heart of this native of Yunhai.

"Let's get straight to the point, what exactly do we need to do to cross the big storm area?" Victoria said, looking intently at Midi's dark eyes.

Speaking of this, Victoria's attitude has been clearly seen.It cannot be said that there is no wavering, but at least, there is a willingness to advance and retreat with Midi. Of course, this willingness is based on interests that are too huge for people to face. At the same time, the danger must be controlled within a certain range.

After all, Victoria is a businessman, not a soldier. It is impossible for her to be smashed to pieces for a certain goal, and it is even more impossible to devote all her strength to the goal of Midi, whom she has only met for a long time.

The fact that Midi killed the cloud beast had already shown Victoria the benefits, and at the same time understood that the cloud beast was not invincible.

But how much would it cost to defeat the Cloud Beast and cross the Frozen Cloud Circle? The dialogue between the two now is the real commercial calculation.

Regarding Victoria's huge question, Midi didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while, and then said: "Originally, I hoped that the spice route would be able to bypass many obstacles and directly lead me to the big world." The core of the storm area, but now it is discovered that this route is only through the black cloud circle. If you want to enter the star ocean, it seems that there is no shortcut, so you can only take the most domineering approach .”

"What is the most royal way?" Victoria continued to ask.

"The most domineering way is naturally to open up a road and enter it from the front." This time, Midi replied without thinking, "As for how to do this, there is no mystery at all, it is nothing more than a ship. Even a group of sufficiently advanced airships."

"How advanced is it?" Victoria subconsciously glanced at the Narwhal.

This airship is already the embodiment of the highest alchemy technology of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce. However, at the edge of the ice cloud circle, it just encountered a cloud beast, and was affected by its roar and struggle, and the outer shell was already broken. It has become mottled and needs repairing in several places.Midi said "a sufficiently advanced airship", how advanced is it?

"Several factors, being able to dispel the darkness, and being able to distinguish directions without being disturbed by magnetic fields, these two points, the Narwhal has actually achieved it, and the rest, naturally, must be strong enough and able to withstand the invasion of severe cold Already." Midi said, "Only if it is strong enough and cold-resistant, can it rush into the ice cloud circle, or even rush into the body of the cloud beast to launch an attack. Only by doing these two things can we successfully pass through the big storm area."

"So, the way you kill cloud beasts can also be used by airships?" Victoria's eyes lit up.

"I have to tell you, Miss Victoria, that was originally a combat method for airships." Midi smiled slightly.

Regardless of whether it is the previous life or this life, there are only a few who can possess the awakening secret technique, and those with the ability to fly in the awakening secret technique are even a minority of the minority.To rush into the cloud beast and win the starlight, the airship is needed as a support, otherwise, how can it be done with the flesh and blood of the adventurer?
Today's Midi is an extraordinary awakened person, a special case, but at the same time, as a genius commander, he has never forgotten the most popular and easiest combat methods.

Only the skills that everyone can master can really lay the foundation for victory.

"Rely on the airship to make a breakthrough, and the final blow is carried out by adventurers. Humans and machines complement each other. This is the way to fight through the big storm area. Miss Victoria, don't worry, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, then naturally, this set I will teach you how to fight." Midi said sternly, and then patted the side rail of the Narwhal, "But, before that, first of all, it is the problem of the vehicle."

"I'm afraid it will take three years, no, at least five years." Victoria couldn't help but sighed deeply.

Just like the Falcon Group has its own magic research and development department, the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce also has its own alchemy organization, and its history is extremely long, and there are many alchemy masters sitting in it.

Whether it is "Swordfish", "Tiger Shark", or even "Narwhal", these airships, which can be called first-class in the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, are all developed by the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce. It can be said that This is also one of the reasons why it was able to rank among the top forces in the sea of ​​clouds as a chamber of commerce.

But even so, according to Victoria's estimation, it will take quite a long time to develop an airship that can meet Midi's requirements and can pass through that terrible ice and snow storm and even face cloud beasts.

This is something that can only be done on the premise that Victoria becomes the president of the Chamber of Commerce and is able to control the overall situation.

At present, not to mention the development of airships, it is a question of whether they can keep the spice route at hand from the attack of the two elder brothers.

"Five years..." Midi also sighed slightly.

Going around and around, the result is that there is still no shortcut.

In the previous life, the adventurer prepared for seven years to enter the big storm area, but in this life, even if he had the foresight, seized the opportunity and was willing to share all kinds of information about the big storm area, as a result, this time It still doesn't seem to be possible.

In other words, the development of high-performance airships has never been bypassed.

It seems that even if it is the butterfly effect brought about by rebirth, there are always some things that cannot be changed.For example, this kind of real technical difficulty cannot be easily overcome by relying on foresight and personal strength.

Do you want to wait?
In her heart, Midi sighed deeply again.

But at this moment, Victoria's clear and sweet voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Master Blade, there may be a way that can greatly advance our progress." Victoria said carefully, "Although it takes a lot of time, and even manpower, financial and material resources to develop airships, if we don't develop , but if it is imitated, the cost can be greatly reduced."

"Imitation?" Midi repeated the other party's words. As a reborn, he still couldn't keep up with the other party's train of thought for the first time.

"That's right, imitation." Victoria said, holding the constant compass in front of Midi.

This compass can offset the magnetic field in the big storm area, so it can guide the airship to pass through the black cloud circle smoothly. It can be said that it plays the biggest role in the entire spice route, and in the future, it will be used to break through the big storm. This kind of compass must also be installed on the airship in the storm area.

And this constant compass is just an imitation!

After the Rothschild ancestors obtained the original product from the ancient crashed celestial battleship, it was an imitation product after researching and shrinking its function!
With the constant compass, there are spice routes, large profits and income, and further expansion.It can even be said that all the glory of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce started from this imitation.

Now, in order to open up a new world, Victoria, the successor of Rothschild, once again proposed imitation.

However, new problems also arise-

Where can I find the Celestial Battleship?

Although Rothschild's ancestors did get one a long time ago, Victoria has also seen the wreckage of the celestial battleship. In fact, it can no longer be called an airship, it is just the captain's cabin plus a helmsman. The battleship itself has long been disintegrated, leaving only fragments flying in the wind, and then falling to those floating island rocks that no one cares about.

But obviously, with Victoria's intelligence, since she dared to propose "imitation" in front of Midi, most of the objects used for imitation also have certain clues.

"On the other side of the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, there are also many agencies that specialize in all kinds of intelligence. If you inquire, you should be able to get clues. After all, when the tyrannosaurus king Bakar was fighting in the heavens, he opened up countless information in the space. There are definitely a lot of wrecks falling from the cracks, as long as you inquire carefully, you will definitely gain something." Victoria said confidently, "It just so happens that the destination of our trip is the best place to inquire about ancient times. The place of information on the ruins of the battlefield."

Once she has made up her mind and found her goal, this celestial woman will be able to radiate amazing charm. Even Midi can't help but look at Victoria at this moment with admiration.

Should I say that he is indeed the future president of the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce and the No. 1 choice to support the Great Storm Expedition?

Thinking of this, Midi couldn't help raising the corner of her mouth slightly: "I'm looking forward to it."
