The glasses clinked.
Tianyang and Longdan drank together, but when the wine entered his mouth, he vaporized it with the star essence. In this way, although he could not taste the flavor, the advantage was that he did not appear drunk even though he drank a thousand cups.
Tianyang, who was already scared of the consequences of drinking, didn't want to get drunk at all.
Long Dan drank a cup of old wine and ate some food before saying to the others, "It's a pity that you didn't attend the Lin family's negotiation meeting today. Let me tell you, Lin Xingyuan was so aggressive at the beginning. Although I had confidence in Tianyang, I was also furious at the time and worried that Tianyang would not be able to break the deadlock."
"But guess what happened later. Ha, Tianyang actually led a church army to attack directly. Wow, he brought six silver crown knights, fifteen level 5 masters, thirty-five temple soldiers and five hundred church warriors."
"Lin Xingyuan's face turned green at that time. The more arrogant that kid was at the beginning, the more miserable he ended up being. I didn't know how much pleasure I felt watching that."
Yue Guang glanced at Tian Yang and said, "Is this your conspiracy?"
"Also, when did you get involved with the church? I remember the church was trying to cause trouble for you, right?"
Tian Yang said calmly: "There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. Not only am I related to the church now, I am also the Holy Silver Knight of the East Continent Cardinal Academy."
"If the Lin family had chosen to side with the fortress, I would have had to take a few more detours to break the impasse. But Lin Xingyuan chose to side with the church, which was like walking into a trap."
"This time I came from the Cardinals' Court and asked the Archbishop for a group of people. I asked them to rush here day and night, and finally they arrived in time for the negotiations. The Lin family wants to use the church to pressure me, so I will use the church to make them suffer."
Moonlight smiled and said, "I have to pay 70% of my annual income to you. This is more than just a loss of skin."
Long Dan cursed and said, "If you ask me, you should have dealt with that arrogant Lin Xingyuan as well. Damn it, you don't know how hateful he was before."
Tian Yang said calmly: "It's just an ant, there's no need to go to that extent."
"In addition, I have to take Deep Sea Castle's position into consideration. Although we can use the fact that Lin Xingyuan is Ji Bozhou's student to punish him for internal church affairs, he is still a member of the Lin family, and the Lin family is also a well-known family in Deep Sea Castle."
"If I execute him, the fortress won't say anything on the surface, but it will definitely feel uncomfortable behind the scenes. We still have to run the business here, so there's no need to make the owner uncomfortable."
"Besides, 70% of the Lin family's profits went into our pockets, which is enough to teach them a lesson. And I didn't hurt the Lin family, which is more or less giving Fortress some face. In addition, I came forward as a Holy Silver Knight of the church. From now on, Fortress will only take better care of you, and it will be much easier for you to run your business than before."
Long Dan was stunned and said, "You really think long-term. I didn't think that much."
Tian Yang smiled and said, "I didn't have to think so much before, but now, I have to think about the people who follow me, so I have to look further ahead."
After a pause, he said, "This time when we come back, we will continue to explore the secret symbol of the deep sea world. Didn't I give you a map before? How is your research going?"
Long Dan quickly put down the cup and said seriously, "Since you left, apart from running Ding's business, I have spent almost all my time on that map."
"I'm looking for the guy who took us out to sea last time.
Kai has seen the map. He is a living map and has helped me a lot."
Tianyang's expression changed slightly and he glanced at Longdan.
Long Dan immediately understood and said, "Don't worry, I didn't show the whole map to A Kai. I broke the route into several nodes myself, and then shuffled the order. I showed A Kai one place each time, asked him to help me identify some locations, and then I put it together again."
"Also, I didn't let Akai review all the nodes. I only asked him for help when I couldn't find information, was difficult to compare, or couldn't confirm."
"But even so, there are still two places on that route that have never been explored. Neither Akai nor other gold diggers in Deep Sea Castle know what is going on there."
"However, I have basically determined the route, and I have redrawn a navigation chart based on the current situation in the Reverse Realm. As long as you are well prepared and the island hanging in the air is still there, you will definitely be able to find that place."
Tian Yang nodded with satisfaction and said, "You did a great job. Next, you contact A Kai and ask him to take us out to sea. As for the ships, supplies, and other things, have him prepare them."
"As for the budget, as long as he is serious about doing this, I will not restrict him and let him do it on his own."
Long Dan nodded: "Okay, but this voyage is quite long. Even if there are a few places in the middle that can be quickly reached through the 'Sea Well', it will take a long time to stay at sea. So we need some manpower..."
"If you need more manpower, I'll take care of it." The sea monster, who had been silent all this time, patted his chest and said, "I have a group of old brothers. They are completely trustworthy. They all have experience in going out to sea, and I guarantee they won't hold us back."
Tian Yang said happily: "Sure, you can name the remuneration. I will pay them the deposit before we leave."
"no problem!"
This matter was settled in this way.
The next morning, Longdan went to find Akai, while Tianyang and others went to visit the Deep Sea Castle. The last time they came here, they hurried out to sea for the "Dark Jellyfish". After they came back, they encountered the disappearance of Fatty and dealt with the affairs of the Ding family, so they didn't have much fun.
This time it was very different. With the identity of the Holy Silver Knight of the church, Tianyang was warmly welcomed wherever he went.
So a few days passed in a flash.
Finally, it was time to go out to sea.
This time, Tianyang only brought Yueguang, Qianhong, Xun and Chiying with him, while Sunsun and his group stayed at the Sea Monster Inn. The Sea Monster found him more than 20 old brothers, all rough men in their 30s or 40s.
Tianyang supported them with a deposit. Due to his generosity and the promise that their families would receive a generous pension if they encountered an accident at sea, these men worked very hard.
It only took one day to organize all the equipment and supplies that Akai requested, and then they drove several magnetic energy vehicles to the transfer platform in a mighty manner.
Because it was Tianyang's team, the personnel at the fortress at the Kraf Gate only gave them a symbolic inspection and then let them pass.
A moment later, Tianyang heard the whistling wind and smelled the strong fishy smell of the sea.
Looking again, they had arrived at the forward base of the Deep Sea Fortress. Lights flickered from time to time and flashed across the coast. This time, Tian Yang did not see groups of deep-sea fishmen. It seemed that today was a rare 'rest day' for the base.
For Xun, who came to this world for the first time
Both girls had different feelings, Xun and Qianhong. Xun tended to be more curious. She looked around from time to time, and then took the electronic board given by Longdan and looked through the information of the black people in this sea of reversal.
Qianhong was a little nervous and seemed to be very resistant to the sea, with her muscles visibly tensed.
After Tian Yang noticed this, he comforted her gently: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Qian Hong first said "hmm", then whispered: "I still prefer No. 51 Reverse Realm. The jungle is the stage for hunters."
The vehicle drove along the road and soon arrived at the dock. A warship was rising and falling under the push of the waves. Tianyang recognized this warship. It was one of the "trophies" they got from the last voyage, and later gave it to Akai.
It seems that this time, we still have to use this battleship to go to sea.
After arriving at the dock, the crew members gradually carried supplies onto the warship. In addition to daily necessities, some of the supplies were ammunition to be consumed by various weapon platforms on the warship.
Fortunately, this voyage was declared in the name of Tianyang, otherwise, it would not be so easy to get this batch of ammunition in.
The other gold diggers at the dock looked at Tianyang's team and the warship, and were all guessing what big deal they were going to do.
So when A Kai appeared at the dock, he was questioned by many captains, but unfortunately A Kai didn't reveal a single word.
Tianyang was quite satisfied with this. It was because of Akai's character that Tianyang hired him again this time.
Arriving on the boat and seeing Tianyang, Ah Kai showed no enthusiasm, but just nodded and said, "Nice to meet you again."
To him, this is a manifestation of passion.
"Yes, we meet again. I'm sorry to bother you again this time." Tianyang then took out an electronic board with a nautical chart provided by Longdan. Before going out to sea, Akai didn't know where he was going. In this regard, Longdan had done enough confidentiality.
A Kai took the electronic board without saying anything, then walked into the control room, transferred the nautical chart stored in the electronic board to the battleship's system, and then checked the route.
Tianyang followed in and asked, "How is it, is everything ok?"
Ah Kai pointed to the two places that Long Dan had mentioned, which had never been explored before, and said, "Except for these two places, I don't know the specific situation, other places are not a big problem."
"We'll set off once they finish loading their stuff."
"good."
Two hours later, the searchlights on the battleship were turned on one by one, emitting bright beams of light. It slowly left the dock and went out to sea along with other gold diggers' boats.
This time the warship carried enough fuel and did not need to go to the offshore platform for supplies, so A Kai immediately drove the ship towards a "sea well" not far from the dock.
The length of this 'sea well' passage was relatively short, and it took a little effort to return to the surface of the sea. However, the first time they passed through the 'sea well', Xun and Qianhong's faces did not look very good, especially Qianhong. She was so nervous that she held Tianyang's hand tightly throughout the whole process, and she did not breathe a sigh of relief until she returned to the surface of the sea.
After giving Qianhong a few sips of water, Tianyang heard footsteps, and then a man came in. Tianyang didn't know his name, but he knew that the sea monster called him "Ajiu". When the man came in, he was full of alcohol, but his eyes were bright and he was obviously sober.
He looked at Tianyang and said in a low voice: "Boss, there is a 'sea dog' following us."
