The whirring of the breeze, the crackling of the burning wood, and Alex's singing. As he sang, he thought to himself:
He doesn't want to be the second Aha and puts all his efforts into it.
But if that day comes, he will probably make the same choice as Aha.
I always advise people to move on and let go of the past. But the destruction of the universe...
Can't let go.
"...Okay, who's going to perform next? Rose, come on, sing and dance for everyone!"
"Ah? Dad, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?"
"Hahahahaha."
Amidst the laughter and joy, Alex looked up at the starry sky.
May the starlight never fade.
It's time to go.
The year is over, things are done, and vacation is over. Alex is ready to leave for Pinocchio.
Because Jeppard was successfully promoted to the Order Envoy, Jingliu, who had been guarding the house for many years, was finally released. She wanted to see the strong men of various forces. Alex thought she wanted to see if she could cut Hippie. In addition to her, there were officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Trade of Beloberg, who were going to go to the family on the ship to see if there was any opportunity to promote some cooperation.
"Sir, we estimate three jumps and three days to reach Pinocone."
This was a formal visit, so Alex would not go alone. He also brought Liuli as his personal assistant, and let the little girl see the world. Liuli looked at Alex's bedroom in the Lander with some curiosity. It was a luxurious large flat. Outside the "window" was a three-dimensional and elegant landscape of Yishan and the water. When the window was opened, simulated fresh air would come in.
As expected of a company director's car, the scenery outside is all broadcast from famous scenic planets, and there is no duplication. Being in this room is like being on a holiday planet, very comfortable.
"Yeah, no problem. I don't need much care here." Alex sat at the desk, flipping through some information, and said, "Just go around on your own. I'll call you if I need you. Oh, by the way, tell the people in the office to prepare a set for you. Get something more casual. If you have time, you can make a travel guide for Pinocchio and take me around then."
If I take this underage maid out, my reputation will become weird again.
"Yes, I understand sir."
Liuli left the room, and Alex looked at the information displayed on the screen. Theresa, who had set out one step earlier, had already arrived. She told him that the current situation of Pinocchio was a little "weird", and the Star Train and others had not arrived yet. They had gone around in a circle and were expected to arrive a day later than Alex.
"Is it weird?"
However, Theresa did not find any signs that Shipe was nearby.
"No matter what, even if we have something to discuss, we have to be careful of Hippie. He is too determined to deal with me." Alex thought about it and he had to make some preparations. If he and Hippie had a direct conflict in a one-on-one fight, he would not stand a chance of winning. He had to prepare some backup plans so that if something went wrong, he would have a chance to escape and save his life.
Let's see which Star Gods are willing to intervene in the matter between him and Xi Pei. After all, if Mi Si died, Xi Pei would still find a way to eat him.
"Do not……"
Alex paused. He couldn't rely on other star gods. If he continued like this, how could he intervene in the big game?
I have to find a good trump card that will prevent Xi Pei from attacking me now.
Chapter 284 is about to arrive
"The jump is complete. We have entered the Belta galaxy space. The next jump is expected to be carried out in 20 system hours."
After a successful jump, the fleet will enter a constant speed cruise state, and will enter the next jump after the jump engine is debugged. Alex also walked out of the room and walked around the Lander flagship.
Although it is his own vehicle, Alex rarely rides it, and spends most of his time in the Beloberg. He also prefers a lighter and smaller shuttle when he goes out. However, it must be said that it is a flagship assigned by the company to the director level and the essence of the universe's technology. The interior is a luxurious and low-key palace, but the firepower is the strongest level in the universe, with the ability to destroy star systems.
"Won't the family be scared if I drive this over? Pinocchio will be destroyed with one shot." Alex muttered, but thinking about it, he seemed to be more terrifying than the flagship. The family should be numb to him.
"Sir, the captain said we will set sail later." Liuli found Alex who was appreciating artwork in the living room and said, "The frontline ships have discovered a lot of space garbage floating near the jump point. They need to be cleaned up before they can enter the cruise state."
"Not really?" Alex found that his appreciation of art was not that high. The abstract painting in front of him was said to be extremely expensive, but he still couldn't appreciate it. He turned around and asked, "What happened? Can't we just create some ordinary space garbage and get over it?"
Just go ahead with the shield turned on.
"I'm sorry sir, I don't know the exact reason."
"It's okay, it's okay." Alex signaled her not to be nervous and said, "I have nothing to do. I'll go to the bridge to take a look."
When Alex brought her to the bridge, the commander immediately reported the current discovery. Normally, there would be no garbage near the jump point. Passing interstellar travelers would take the initiative to clean it up out of convention, because if they were not careful, they would directly hit the garbage when jumping over - the garbage would be directly stuck in the ship.
Besides, the universe is so vast that civilization can only produce a small amount of garbage. But there is indeed a lot of "garbage" in front of their route. According to preliminary judgment, it is very likely the wreckage of a super-large ship.
Before Alex and his team jumped, another ship that had taken action ahead of them had already been cleaning up for a while.
"There are still many unidentified reactions on the wreckage. A search team has been sent out to inspect and clear the route. It seems that a ship has been wrecked here, but we have not found any bodies."
After the captain reported to Alex, the search team ahead soon sent intelligence and data.
There was no matching information found for the crashed ship, and it did not belong to any force registered in the Interstellar Peace Company network. However, they did send back an audio message. Alex also wanted to know who was killed, so he said, "Play it, and try to find out the relationship. If they still have family members, information or relics, please help bring them back. See if you can investigate what happened. Did they encounter forces like the Annihilation Gang?"
It is not difficult to send someone to do this. The person is gone and cannot be brought back. Now that we have met him, Alex will definitely help.
"【Star of the Gala】Pinocone, the cradle of those who dream of falling, the resting place of the cowardly. The family set up a banquet, and the guests were invited."
A deep and attractive male voice came from the audio. Alex frowned. The tone seemed a bit arrogant.
"The golden blood of Destruction will flow together, and a grand sacrifice will be presented to Him. Children of the flame, this is your rite of passage."
"Who is this person, the Lord of Extinction?" Alex asked in confusion, "Did the Lord of Extinction attack this ship?"
"No, sir." The captain looked at the data analysis and said, "This audio should belong to the category of meeting minutes. It has existed for some time. The owner of the voice should also be the owner of the ship. If it is a believer in destruction, then we can explain why we can't analyze the ship number."
"Those lunatics are capable of anything," Alex warned. "They might use the wreckage as bait to launch an ambush. Be alert."
The man who spoke was very confident and looked quite powerful.
"Yes!"
"Akash, my most sensitive child, I ignited your eyes and taught you to pluck strings. You will play the feast song with a four-stringed instrument and silence the hymns of harmony."
"That's what I meant, Dad.
Alex became serious. Could a "child" wipe out an entire family? It's not easy to overwhelm the harmonious music with just one voice. Could it be a lord-level?
But this is a bit of an underestimation of Shipe. When Shipe hears such words, there is a high probability that Akash will directly become a member of the Harmony.
"Dubra, my wisest child, I will set your body on fire and give you the sword, saw and axe. You must use sulfur to clean the iron sickle and give you joy and pain! Let the blood and tears of the actors flow into the Styx."
"As you command my father."
Hiss, even the envoy is too arrogant. Is Ah Ha an ordinary god? Most of the Masked Fools are like Ah Ha, hiding their power at ordinary times, so they are not that easy to deal with. If Ah Ha heard this...
Alex responded on behalf of Aha:
fun!
"Katrina, my bravest child, I have set your heart on fire and given you a chest full of boiling blood. You must use your anger to chisel open the vaults of [preservation] and [wealth], smelt their gold, and make an image for our benefactor."
"No need to say more, old man!"
This is like declaring war on the company. Everyone on the bridge looked solemn, and they were all on guard against attacks that could come from the dark at any time. And if King Amber and the God of Wealth heard this...
Alex thought that they would probably pretend not to hear and continue to throw dust and money.
"Finally, Constance, my most ambitious child, my best child, I have nothing left to teach you. Just remember to wither and shrivel the midnight of Pinocchio. Take away everything you love, leaving only the tomb of [memories]!"
Alex was wondering which force was so arrogant that it dared to challenge so many fates. Was it really powerful, or...
"What about Belloberg?"
A sentence came from the audio, and Alex narrowed his eyes.
"Destruction is a magnificent moment. Enjoy Pinoconi and her invitation. Let this beautiful dream be ready. Let that despicable Alex Rand be ready to welcome her new master from Tophet, the Underworld Duke Afrit."
Beep - the sound ended. Alex groaned, a strange expression appeared on his face, and said, "Is it the Underworld Duke I know?"
"The information is out. The names mentioned just now are all cadres of the Yonghuo Mansion of the Annihilation Gang. They are all wanted criminals of the company." The captain said: "The voice is probably that... Duke Minghuo."
At this moment, the exploration team also received information. They found that there were many relics blocking the route and emitting special energy fluctuations.
A relic that houses the beliefs of the living.
"Preliminary judgment is that it should be the remains of Duke Netherfire after his death."
Alex was silent for a while, then he couldn't help but burst out laughing. His laughter caused a chain reaction on the bridge, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.
What the hell, isn't this a complete clown? Everyone was nervously waiting to see if there would be an attack, but this Underworld Duke was killed before he even got to Pinoconi, and a bunch of relics were revealed?
"I haven't heard such a funny thing for a long time." Alex instantly broke away from the threatening haze outside the wall and commented sharply: "If this Duke of Hellfire pursues pleasure, he might be able to get one step closer. It's really funny."
Alex smiled and said, "See if we can find out who did it. Remember to pay the bounty from the company and Beloberg to them. This Grand Duke is really..."
He had threatened Beloberg before, but was chased away by Xi'er. Alex had thought that if he met the Underworld Lord, he could give his family and Xi Pei a favor and not attack him on Pinoconi's land, but once he left Pinoconi, he would just swing his sword and kill him.
Unexpectedly, this guy didn't even have a chance to get to Pinocchio.
"Clean up slowly, don't leave in a hurry. If there are any remnants of the Annihilation Gang nearby, kill them directly for the sake of the people." Alex ordered: "This is for the peace of the universe."
Not long after, a complete set of relics was delivered to Alex. The Grand Duke's Hellfire Crown, the Grand Duke's Velvet Fire Knuckles, the Grand Duke's Grace Robe, and the Grand Duke's Gentleman's Elegant Boots. Alex had someone find a hanger to hang them up, looking at the complete set of relics of the Grand Duke...
Somewhat funny.
"It may be funny, but it's still useful." Beloberg also got some relics from the space station and the Star Train. Like Jeppard and Xier, they were fully armed before, but now Jeppard gave the relics to others. After all, the amplification of this thing is not very useful for the level of the commander.
But for those below the level of Lingshi, the effect is immediate, increasing attack and defense. For example, Xier, wearing the relic weapon, can fight with Lingshi for a few moves based on the data on paper. For those with weak strength, the effect is even more significant.
"Give it to my daughter when I get back. It will be like the blazing sun."
Pinoconi hadn't even arrived yet, but he encountered the gift bag of the Underworld Lord on the way, which added some humor to the journey. Unfortunately, the company's people didn't find out who attacked the Underworld Lord's car. They speculated that it was either an invasion from the outside by a powerful emissary, or a rebellion from within. As a member of the Flame Demon clan, the Underworld Lord would definitely have a high temperature reaction if he fought, but they didn't find many traces.
Either he was killed in seconds or he was ambushed.
Later, a more professional investigation team will come to investigate the incident here. Alex naturally did not stay in this airspace for too long. After a day and night of cleaning and navigation, he soon made a second jump.
There is still one jump distance to Pinoconi, and the number of spaceships around shown on the radar is gradually increasing. As a former prison star, Pinoconi is a one-way street on the star track. To get there, you must pass through the current Tiannu galaxy. As the ceremony approaches, more and more outsiders are heading to Pinoconi, making this route seem more lively than the trade route.
"I have observed with the eye on my forehead that you will arrive at the Tiannu Galaxy at this time, and it is indeed correct."
A large star ship of the immortal ship connected with the Rand, and a familiar old friend, Master Fu Xuan of the immortal ship Taipusi, brought a group of people into the Rand. She arrived here a day earlier than Alex from the immortal ship, and waited here for their fleet to arrive together.
The pink-faced stubborn little girl whom I hadn't seen for a long time. Although Fu Xuan was the Grand Master, he always gave off a feeling that he wanted to be bullied. Alex teased her, "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Grand Master."
Fu Xuan crossed his arms, rolled his eyes, and said, "Okay, okay, don't be so polite."
She also called herself "this seat".
"Grown taller?" Alex looked at Fu Xuan in confusion and said, "It feels like you're a little taller than before."
"Well, I have to cushion it a little. After all, I am representing the Luofu Immortal Boat when I go out."
She would only be this tall for her whole life, and the Xianzhou people could not perform height-increasing surgery—oh, and breast augmentation was not an option. As a descendant of the immortal race, if she did so, she would have to endure unimaginable pain.
Just insoles.
Alex smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll have someone make some milk tea as soon as I get your signal. You haven't had a sip of this during the past two days of sailing. I've arranged it. But you've brought quite a few people with you."
Alex looked at the person behind Fu Xuan, hummed, and said, "Is there any special reason?"
Hey, hey, what kind of lineup is this?
Following behind Fu Xuan were the head of the Taibu Division, Qingque, the trainee soldier of the Cloud Riders, Suchang, the trainee judge of the Ten Kings Hall, Huohuo, and the familiar Luofu Sword Master, the disciple of the disciple of Zeng Jianshou, Yanqing. At first glance, Suchang was the best, but he lacked spirit and energy, and looked like a mismatched person.
Everyone followed Alex in saluting. Fu Xuan coughed lightly and said, "General Jing Yuan arranged for me to bring them out to see the world. He said that Pinocchio, Alex, you are here too, so it's a good opportunity for them to come out and gain some experience."
You had a nightmare and asked me to help take care of the baby, right? Jingyuan, you are so good that even I have to work for you, right?
"I think it's not bad." Although Fu Xuan looked young, she was the only one in the group who had brains, courage, calmness and motivation. She said, "Although the Xianzhou people have a long life span, they don't have many opportunities to go out. If we can go to Pinocchio to see it, it should be..."
Fu Xuan turned his head and saw Qingque looking around absent-mindedly at the Rand, Suchang looked drowsy as if he had not woken up yet, Huohuo clenched the corner of his clothes and dared not look up, and Yanqing had a blank expression on his face as if he was filled with hatred and resentment.
"Maybe... maybe? Even if there's a small possibility, we can gain something, right?"
Fu Xuan himself was unsure. This lineup looked unreliable no matter how he looked at it. If they encountered any danger, they would definitely be wiped out.
"Long time no see, everyone."
Su Shang and Huo Huo met during the Sui Yang incident. They became familiar with Yan Qing and often came over for morning exercises. As for Qing Que, they were old friends.
"Oh, Mr. Rand, your ship is really nice." Qingque had no intention of working at all, and his eyes were full of fun. He said, "I just saw on the map that there is a chess and card room?"
"Let's rub it together when you have time." Alex said with a smile.
"That's great. No one has been playing cards on the Star Chariot these past two days. I'm addicted..." Seeing Fu Xuan's gaze, Qing Que immediately showed an awkward smile and said, "I know, I know. Being on a business trip is considered work and I can't play cards, but there must be an eight-hour work system. I can always play in my free time."
"Oh! Boss! Your glory is still as shining as the sun!" Huo Huo quickly held down Uncle Sui Yang on his tail and greeted him again: "Mr. Rand, long time no see, hello..."
"Hello Huo Huo, Su Shang, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well?"
"Ah!" Su Chang suddenly realized something. She rubbed her head and said, "I just came back to Luofu from Beloberg. I was pulled out before I could adjust to the jet lag. I'm a little confused. I'm sorry, director. Ah no, Mr. Rand."
She was still dancing the lion in Beloberg when she was young. She had just returned to Luofu with Jing Yuan, and then she was brought out by Fu Xuan. It was really busy.
