Chapter 253 Setting Sail

As soon as Akali swam to the surface of the sea, she saw the steel monster not far away. She raised her eyebrows and swam over. As soon as she swam to the side of the ship, she heard the continuous sound of guns.

"The captain ordered not to shoot. Who are you?" The lieutenant frowned when he saw that Akali was a murloc. Anyone who lived on the sea would not like murlocs. They were barbaric, backward, and did not know how to communicate. But Gandalf had ordered not to shoot, so he could only loudly ask who Akali was.

"Who are you?"

"Is Gandalf not here?" Akali said innocently when she heard the question. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an order.

"Put away your guns and put down the ladder." Hearing Akali clearly say the captain's name, the lieutenant immediately understood that this was the captain's man, and immediately ordered the soldiers to put away their guns.

Akali boarded the ship with some curiosity. Although she often saw this kind of steel giant ship in the newspaper, this was the first time she really saw the appearance of a steel giant ship. It is said that only the Madikka Empire, the Principality of Asgar and the Maritime Government have the right and ability to build this kind of steel monster. The Republic of Draf needs to purchase this kind of battleship weapon.

Her eyes looked at the high-up gun barrel, and then saw the high command platform, where Gandalf was looking at him through the glass window, with a smile on his lips. When Akali looked at him, he waved to Akali.

Akali also waved and followed the lieutenant up. When she saw Gandalf in a white military uniform, she immediately praised him.

"Not bad, this military uniform suits you very well."

"The fish is finished." Gandalf handed over a towel and spoke leisurely.

"After killing, there is not enough to cut, so go directly to Rainbow Island?" Akali wiped the moisture on his body, he looked at the black smoke column outside the window, and spoke tiredly.

"Well, let's go to Rainbow Island first. My goal is on the way back."

"This is my first time on a warship. Can you introduce it?" Akali looked down at the sea. He looked at the huge turrets and black smoke, as well as the agile soldiers, and was a little curious.

"My warship is a medium-sized warship, number 067, with a 180 mm turret, weighing 3,000 tons, and 356 people on the warship." Gandalf heard that Akali was curious about the warship, so he briefly introduced it.

"Why can't the Republic of Draf build it?" Akali asked again. This is something she has been curious about for a long time.

"To build a warship like this, you need ten steel mills, three large docks, complete blueprints, a large number of scientists, tens of thousands of skilled shipbuilders, the support of the Ninth District, a complete naval training base, sufficient national finances, and a large steam engine. It costs 8 million to build such a giant ship. Do you think Draf can build it?" Every word Gandalf said struck Akali's heart, especially when she heard 8 million, she opened her mouth slightly.

"It's so expensive."

"The largest fleet bought by the Draf Republic is only a medium-sized warship like mine. Together with other ships, he paid 40 million goods and funds to the Madikka Empire. It's a pity that the decentralization of the kingdom is stupid and let people steal it openly." Gandalf's tone was very mocking.

"Who did the Draf Republic buy it to guard against? He must have a reason, right? I remember this was the first time the Draf Republic bought a giant steel ship."

"The Principality of Asgar, the Principality of Asgar has long had an elite navy and a complete fleet. Recently, the maritime government received an order from the Draf Republic. They want 10 warships, 2 medium-sized, 7 small, and one large. The maritime government is still considering this matter. If the fleet they lost before is added, the Draf Republic will have two complete fleets." Gandalf said faintly

"I'm a little tired. Is there a place to rest? Fish are not easy to kill." Akali listened and became a little uninterested. She was really not interested in this kind of political game. In addition, she was a little tired after the battle, so she suddenly wanted to have a good sleep.

"Come with me." Seeing that Akali was not interested, Gandalf's endless words in his heart were immediately extinguished. He smiled bitterly and took Akali to rest.

In the ninth district of Caldecott City, Casca looked at the admission letter in front of him and smiled with relief. The letter is as follows

"Dear Mr. Kaska, because of your excellent performance and special manufacturing talent, you have been specially recommended by the Institute of the Ninth District of Kadic City. We hereby inform you that you will be specially recruited by the Institute of the Ninth District of Creton City, the capital of the Republic of Draf. Please take your belongings with you and report as soon as possible after reading this letter."

After seeing the recruitment letter, Kaska suddenly had the urge to cry. He could no longer get more drawings and knowledge in the Ninth District of Kadic City. He found that he had encountered a bottleneck here. So far, he has only drawn elemental bullets and elemental grenades. The Ninth District of Kadic City has no knowledge of the third stage. This is why he is eager to go to Creton City.

"Congratulations, Laska, you can go to Creton City for further studies." The female colleague next to him also saw Laska's notice and spoke with envy. Although she had been prepared, she couldn't hide her excitement when she saw the notice.

"I remember Sequence 6, Stage 3, called Mechanical Storm. I can get in touch with steam engines and gas engines. You will also get a notice if you keep up the good work." Laska's tone was a little excited. His adoptive father was a mechanic. Since his death, he has been studying in District 9. Because he had no source of income, he had to go out to work and finally met Camus and others.

As he learned more and more about Sequence 6, he vowed in his heart that he must personally create the crystallization of this era, steam engines and gas engines.

"Congratulations, when are you going to leave?" The female colleague looked at the excited Laska and understood his mood very well. This is the dream of every staff member in District 9 to see higher-level drawings and knowledge.

"Tomorrow night, I need to say goodbye to a few people. It's getting late. Let's have a meal together." Laska looked at the sky and found that it was already evening. He thought about it and prepared to invite his colleagues to dinner.

"Oh...Casca actually invited us to dinner. This is the first time."

"Casca, how long have you not invited us to dinner?"

"Hey, where did you get the money, Casca?"

"You should have invited us to dinner a long time ago."

Hearing their words, Camus blushed. The money he earned before was not enough to buy materials, so how could he have extra money to treat people to dinner? Didn't you see him asking Camus for money every day? If it weren't for Laura's recent sponsorship, he wouldn't have the courage to treat the entire institute to dinner.

"Don't go home until you're drunk."

Camus spoke loudly, and a group of people immediately surrounded Casca and walked towards the living area of ​​the ninth district.

Outside the city of Catic, in a deserted house, a black wooden box stood up suddenly shook, and then returned to silence.

"Puff..." A breath appeared in the darkness and blew to the black wooden box, and the dust on the box was immediately raised. Kaxiu walked out of the darkness wearing a black suit and a top hat. His face was very delicate, and the deep red bow tied around his neck showed his elegance. He held a pure black cane in his hand, and a silver pocket watch hung on the chest of his white shirt. He looked at the box elegantly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Bang..." A gunshot sounded from his mouth, and a gun hole suddenly appeared on the ground not far away. Kaxiu looked at the muzzle and slowly extended his cane.

"Stab... Clang..."

A sharp blade suddenly appeared at the tip of the black cane.

"Change..." Seeing the cold blade, Kaxiu spoke faintly, his figure gradually became illusory, and then disappeared, and the black cane was still floating in the air.

"Yes..."

Kaxiu walked out of the shadows, picked up the cane floating in the air, and walked towards the black box. He stretched out his hand gracefully, opened the black box, walked into the box, and then closed the door.

"Magic knife." A dull voice came from the black box, and suddenly more than a dozen daggers appeared in the void of the black box. They floated quietly in the air, and the tips of the daggers pointed at the black box.

"Swish...swish...swish..." The daggers floating in the air suddenly stabbed at the box. In the blink of an eye, holes appeared in the box, and some blood slowly flowed out from the bottom of the box. They flowed slowly along the ground until they flowed under a pair of black leather shoes.

"Magician, killing in amazement, indulging in darkness, we walk in falsehood and truth." Kaxiu's faint voice came from above, holding a black cane in his hand, and the black eyes under the top hat were plain. He quietly looked at the black box flowing with blood.

"Squeak..."

Some of the broken boxes made a harsh sound, and his box door slowly opened. Inside, a wild boar with daggers all over its body lay straight in the box.

"Magician... Bang" Seeing the result, Kaxiu nodded with satisfaction. He murmured faintly and made another gunshot from his mouth, but there was no muzzle on the ground. This was a deceptive shot.

"I should go back. I have to share my joy with Camus, Susie, and Casca." Kaxiu straightened his head and walked outside with an elegant posture.

Caddick City, Hulin Street, because her sister didn't know what she was busy with recently, Susie cooked for herself every day. Because it was close to dusk, Susie lit the gas lamp on the wall. There was a book on her desk, "Cross Council", which was a book about the Cross Council, and it clearly wrote what the Cross Council did.

"A trade fair for high-level supernatural beings?" Susie leaned back in her chair and rubbed her brows. Because there was no information about the white giant Morgo, and there were no clues in the books mentioned by Laura, she had to look for books about this, but the introduction to the Cross Council made her a little confused.

"Trade fair? If there is really a key, it is the trade? Could it be that the corpse of the white giant or the supernatural characteristics were traded at the Cross Conference or somewhere else?"

Susie stopped thinking immediately after getting no answer. He took back the book and prepared to ask her sister after she came back. Her sister knew more about this kind of secret organization.
