"That's what she said, be a lady."
"Lady... I know. It's Meimei, right? She asked you to stand in this position and listen to me, right?"
Li Ang grabbed her hand and pulled it down to her leg.
Cross your palms and place them on your legs together to show your softness and gentleness and reduce your aggression. Li Ang guessed that this was the idea of the little guy.
"Yes, I remember now."
Ever since I realized that the woman in front of me had spent most of her life walking on the wasteland of a destroyed civilization, I knew the origins of her actions.
In the past, after letting down her guard, she would basically just lie back and do whatever was comfortable for her, and it was not uncommon to see her with her arms and legs wide open.
I even came out of the shower shirtless for the first time, but that's all in the past.
"Okay, sit down. I want to talk about what's going on inside the factory."
This was the first time Leon had a good conversation with Meluna in these days. Feeling his seriousness, Meluna finally put on an expression of listening carefully, half as serious as when she was thinking about swordsmanship.
"I know you're here to protect me. There are quite a few Imperial forces here, including my 'old friends' and their allies. If they all attack me, I won't be able to protect myself either. So I must say thank you."
After Li Ang finished speaking, Meluna opened her mouth, and Li Ang waited for her to slowly organize her words.
After thinking for a while, the girl said unsmoothly, "You said before that our relationship is different, so we won't talk about this."
Ah, that's exactly what happened.
Li Ang recalled that it was when he and her started to sleep in each other's arms and went to a snack restaurant for dinner.
Next door was a couple who looked like they were on a date, but were relatively unfamiliar. The man was busy mixing ingredients, wrapping up the pancakes, and preparing the dipping sauce for the woman... At the end, the woman's stiff thank you made the man's expression freeze.
When the dish was served on his table, Li Ang also had to take care of the salted fish he brought, but his starting point was completely different. If he didn't take care of it, this guy might grab it and make his face dirty.
When he finished, Meluna followed suit and thanked him, which surprised him.
"Wow, what's wrong with you today? Where did you learn how to say thank you?"
Given this guy's situation, Leon had been waiting for too long.
"You're looking at the people next to you. Let me learn more from them."
"They have to learn, but their situations are different. But, hey, it's okay. We're all in this situation now, and it feels weird the first time you mention it."
"What's wrong with them? Why are you acting weird?"
"The woman's attitude shows that their relationship is actually a bit cold, and the time for us to talk about this is past."
"What's the difference?"
It’s very different. We take it for granted that we bathe and sleep together… Hey, let’s not talk about this outside, just eat this.”
Leon fed the black-haired girl a wrap filled with small slices of vegetables and tender meat, which was just the right size to fit her mouth.
Leon sighed and pulled himself away from his memories. He looked at Meluna, whose clothes were starting to come undone. "You remember it now?"
"I'll remember everything, so..."
"Let's talk about the present matter first."
Li Ang interrupted her: "I know in my heart that you are doing this for me, but if you want this to go smoothly, I still hope you can do the following. Since you have made your attitude clear, then listen carefully.
“First, don’t run around, stay in my sight.
"Second, don't talk to anyone else. Just talk to me. Although I don't think you would either."
Even though he thought Meluna would not pay attention to outsiders, Leon still reminded him just in case.
"Third, don't just do whatever you want. Ask me before you kill someone. Let me see if there's anything else I want to add..."
The more Li Ang explained, the more she recalled the past. In the beginning, she even had to urge him to learn a lot of common sense. Now, these few sentences were similar to what she said when she went out on the street before.
At that time, as the relationship progressed, especially after this wild animal-like guy let down his guard and approached him, began to snuggle and share body temperature, he was quite happy with it. Now he has some complicated feelings.
"I remember."
"Okay, then come with me tonight."
After urging Meluna, Leon breathed a sigh of relief and saw Andasu next to him.
Although the white wolf didn't make a sound, its tail was already wagging back and forth. Watching Li Ang getting along with his ex-girlfriend made her unable to calm down.
Li Ang thought for a while and didn't know what to say. It was tiring to worry about these women every day. He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
"Recover your spirit first, and then go out tonight."
As night fell, Huo Zui Zhongde planned to stay in the dormitory because he had no fighting ability. Before lights-out time, he had already chatted with a rower, so he took the initiative to take on the responsibility of finding out information.
At lights-out time, people finally emerged from the factory, heading toward the dormitories. It seemed they were truly being forced to work late into the night.
The workers were extremely tired, or perhaps under duress, they had no right or desire to communicate. After returning to the dormitory, they quickly went to bed, and the living area fell silent for a short time.
When everyone should have gone to sleep, Li Ang took the two girls out.
This time, without Morales's shadow curtain, he had to hold his breath, move lightly, and be ready to use spiritual power at any time.
Just like when we came here before, the seven shipyards like the Wormos Shipyard had their entrances and exits guarded by imperial guards, and only people with peak souls were watching inside.
The main force named Crook is currently in the factory, probably eating and sleeping there, to ensure that the production of the warships is foolproof.
Andasu's steps were light, and Meluna's strength was concentrated to the extreme. They walked without any sound. On the contrary, Leon had to rely on the slow air mass to move forward silently.
Walking around in the shadows cast by the buildings, avoiding the few workers who were smoking and sleepless on the balcony, Li Ang discovered the key point.
These dormitories also served as homes for the workers. Singles lived in different quarters than married couples, with married couples typically having their own fully functional apartment. This information was the basic information Shadow Shipyard had provided before our arrival.
These dormitories are empty during the day, and no one like the workers' families are seen returning at night, which means their families must have been concentrated in other places. This is not surprising, as it makes it easier to coerce them.
Then the next few days will depend on where these people are taken.
Li Ang left contact codes of Shadow Factory on the walls of the dormitory building. According to the underground fighters, they have people inside major shipyards, and the Wormos Shipyard should be no exception.
If these lurkers see the secret signal, they will know that their own people are ready to act, and after the information is transmitted, they can make an appointment to meet up.
"Let's go and take a look at the factory, and then go to other shipyards."
There was nothing special in the factory, just the warships under construction and the flesh and blood of the annihilated star souls ready to be dumped. After visiting the other two shipyards, they were similar to the Wormos Shipyard.
Thinking that the time was almost up, Li Ang was preparing to return when he suddenly saw the figures of the three top soul masters he knew.
327. Whose Elite
"Master, what's wrong?" Andasu asked when she saw Li Ang suddenly stop.
"I saw someone I know, let's go over and take a look."
It's the dead of night, and these three bastards are not sleeping, but coming to the seven threatened shipyards for what?
Beria, Fres and Klem were riding on the same flying vehicle, which was a shuttle made from the wings of a 7th-level monster, the Celestial Pterosaur, and was used for short-distance and fast travel.
For a team, even if almost everyone has a suitable summoned beast, they may not be suitable for riding. In order to ensure the rational implementation of tactics, it is necessary for the entire team to move at high speed at critical moments.
Therefore, even though this kind of tool is expensive, the team will still equip it, which is something that ordinary sky knights would envy.
It was precisely because they were flying that Leon was able to see them at a glance.
The shipyard they were heading to was the fourth one they had checked since the Wormos Shipyard. Leon and the other two lowered their magic power and approached the place where they landed.
Not long after they left, the voices of the three people came over.
"It's so annoying. That hooded man with the divine eyes urged us to come and interrogate him about that secret passage in the middle of the night. He's really inhuman."
This voice belonged to Fres, the Soul Apex member who was always lazy and unwilling to adjust himself.
"I don't think they're human. They're always so mysterious when they talk. They always mention that there are divine eyes watching us and that they can control that disgusting flesh and blood. Their magic is completely different from that of ordinary people."
The one who responded to Fresne was Berea, who was used to being strict with others and lenient with himself.
"Don't worry about him, just get it done and go back to sleep." Klem, who seemed to never see any difficulties but was never reliable at critical moments, said.
"Interrogation?" Andasu asked in a low voice.
"Xiao Mo told me that each of the major shipyards in the Rudder City controls a passage to the core of the island. It is precisely because they have obtained some technology from there that they have guaranteed their technological advantage," Li Ang explained.
The matter of entering the Furnace of Creation was not told to anyone before, and Li Ang did not explain it in detail to the people around him. Now that he roughly explained it, the girl understood.
"Those being tortured are likely the leaders of these seven shipyards. While we may not be able to find most of the people who need to be rescued, we should be able to get information. Follow them."
Li Ang and the other two followed the sound and got closer. They heard that the three people at the top of the soul were asked by the apostles of the divine eyes. The power behind the empire was very concerned about the furnace of creation, but they did not have Li Ang's system and the ability of the water dragon. Even if they arrived at the tunnel gate, they could not open it.
Whether analyzing the information in front of him or thinking from the past games, Leon could almost conclude that there must be some connection between "demons - gods/Deus - firstborns".
The predecessor of the sorcerer, the "Spirit Caster", seems to be in a position that is related to it but does not intervene in it.
The three people from Soul Peak walked into a remote warehouse of the fourth shipyard and opened a door inside that led to the underground.
The underground is indeed a possible hiding place. The Island Forger civilization that the Rudder City relies on has built many internal passages on the giant metal island, and this one should be one of them.
When Li Ang and the other two entered the warehouse, the other three had already pulled up the metal door on the ground and entered underground.
"Follow, Master?"
Li Ang glanced at Meluna and said, "Follow."
He created an air mass to penetrate into the gap, silently propping up the edge of the door, then reached out and pulled up the extremely heavy metal door in front of the two girls' surprised eyes.
Just now, when the three people wanted to open the door, they had to ask one of the warriors to use magic to strengthen his body. If the spellcaster is not skilled enough and does not know many spells, and does not have the help of a suitable summoned beast, he may be helpless.
Leon's advantage in the past was that he could use spiritual control to handle these chores as a sorcerer in an auxiliary position. He had used the wind element to lift heavy objects many times, and now with the power enhancement of the Material Grimoire, it was even easier.
But this time, the more efficient and faster method is to use brute force directly from the body.
The demonized arm possessed inhuman strength, a strength that was not even at the physical level, otherwise his body would have to bear the pressure. It seemed as if it was completely lifted up by the inexplicably emerging magic power.
Pulling up the huge metal door with one hand was completely inconsistent with Leon's usual style, so even those who were close to him were surprised.
Li Ang gestured for them to go in first and slowly closed the door again.
The passage below the gate was indeed similar to the core tunnel. After walking for a while, it became interconnected and the space was expanding.
Anda Su looked around. The advantage of this situation was that it was easier for the three of them to hide their tracks, but the disadvantage was of course that they didn't know where to go.
If we can't get back before sunrise, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
Seeing her frown slightly, Li Ang opened the map option on the system panel and opened several sub-pages in succession.
After entering the Furnace of Creation, the exploration of the Rudder City was completely unlocked, and many underground passages were also fully revealed.
They were in one of the fourteen passages. Although it was not connected to a huge underground space like the Shadow Factory, it also had complex branches. At the end of the branches were some larger spaces, and the very end was of course the door to the Furnace of Creation.
The three people at the Soul Peak had already walked away, and their magical reactions were only weak.
"Let's move forward and try to follow their traces." Li Ang said.
"I'll come find it." Meluna said and took a step forward.
Although she fell from the legendary realm due to the difference in world lines, she still possesses a higher level of power, and the same seems to be true of her perception of magic.
Li Ang now understood how strong she was.
In his eyes, the magic power was undetectable, but Meluna seemed to have a beacon. She moved without hesitation. The three of them sped up, and Leon quickly captured their reactions.
They entered a room, or area, inside the core tunnel. Since there was no gate, it seemed to be a maintenance area used by the island builders when they were building and renovating the tunnel, used for rest and placement of useful equipment.
There are tracks on the metal platform in the middle of the space, which lead to some vertical elevator shafts.
At the end of the track, there are some Island Forger machines that have been almost dismantled. It seems that the people in the shipyard have dismantled them for research. What remains is the useless pure metal shell without any components or equipment inside.
Several people who looked like clerks were tied to the old mechanical casing.
"Tell me! Where are the core secret files of your machine city?!" Klem, who is a warrior, shouted.
The man opposite him had a bruised face and nose. As an ordinary person, he had no resistance to the violence of the Excellence Realm warrior. He was covered in blood, but he just sneered.
Li Ang didn't know whether he was only the person in charge of this shipyard, or the persons in charge of all seven shipyards were here. However, since the Eye of God wanted to torture them to get the answer, they were probably imprisoned separately to prevent them from discussing privately.
"Director, just tell me, why suffer more? I also want to rest early. Or you other leaders can tell me." Fres sighed. He was the one who least wanted to come. His profession was a mage, but he was a wild mage.
It turned out that the people here were the director and other leaders of the shipyard. Perhaps they knew the consequences of telling the secret, so they kept silent.
Klem attacked again with punches and kicks, but to no avail.
"Damn it!"
Belia scoffed. "What did you say? Weren't you very confident before you walked in?"
An inexplicable smile appeared on Li Ang's face, and Andasu, who turned to look at him from time to time, felt a little confused.
"Oh, did I say it would definitely work? I'm not specialized in this," Klem retorted.
