"Actually, I don't know much." The Vice Duke hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
"It doesn't matter, tell me everything you know first." Qianye knew this early on.
The vice duke took out a palm-sized box from the battle armor, and said, "My main task is to bring this thing into the inner world, and then hand it over to His Majesty Eternal Flame."
Qianye took it, inspected it, and unexpectedly discovered that it was actually a space device. According to the opening method provided by the Vice-Duke, Qianye successfully opened the small box. When he entered the space consciously and scanned it, he found that it was full of various parts. Among them, what caught his attention most was a kind of transparency that he had never seen before. Round tube, through the outer wall, you can see that the inside is neatly filled with black crystals.
"What's this?"
The Vice-Duke pointed to the transparent round tube and said, "I only know this one. This is the new energy source newly developed by the parliament. It is filled with highly purified black crystals. The force density is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary black crystals."
"It shouldn't be cheap." Qianye said.
Now that he has established a complete set of industrial systems in Yongluchu, he naturally has a deep understanding of the pricing of industrial products. The price of such a product whose force density is increased by dozens of times is at least hundreds of times higher. Every energy body with plateau force density is an out-and-out luxury.
"Anyway, I can't afford to wait." The vice-duke said. It seems that it is meaningful for him to say these words. He can't afford to use them at this level, and they can only be strategic materials at the camp level.
"Then what are these parts used for?" Qianye inspected the parts, and basically they couldn't fit together, but judging from the shape, it was obvious that they were some kind of large-scale mechanical parts, maybe they didn't come together as a set.
"I don't know, not at all."
Qianye frowned slightly, but didn't ask further, only said: "How many parts are there in total?"
"As far as I know, every Marquis has the task of carrying and transporting them. The only difference lies in the quantity and value. The real core device should be in the hands of His Majesty Eternal Burning Flame."
Qianye nodded, that was probably the case. This device seems to be very important, but unfortunately, if the host is in the hands of Eternal Burning Flame, then Qianye has nothing to do. Not to mention Qianye, even if the Heavenly King of the Empire wants to besiege, it depends on whether the Eternal Burning Flame is willing to fight.
The current strategy is to hunt down as many Eternal Night experts as possible and get more spare parts into his hands, so that he can seize the opportunity.
Qianye asked the duke to leave all the equipment and weapons, except for his underwear. The deputy duke didn't argue, just broke off two branches, rolled them into sticks, and left in a hurry. The outside world is extremely dangerous, and it is unknown whether he can escape safely while seriously injured, but he has to struggle if there is a glimmer of hope.
Only after Qianye finished dealing with everything did he turn his head to look at the imperial general.
It was a refined middle-aged man who had been silent beside him. If we only talk about temperament, at a glance, it is actually more noble than Emperor Hao that Qianye has seen. The god general who is completely unfamiliar to him in the empire is such a character, and his identity seems to be narrowed to a certain range.
Qianye didn't want to pay attention, but he glanced at the imperial general, and before he could move, the other party cupped his hands and said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Weiyuan, for your help."
Qianye frowned, and was about to turn around and leave.
The imperial god general was a little taken aback, and immediately changed his name, not hiding his embarrassment, and calmly said: "Your Excellency Qianye, you have heard about your reputation for a long time, and I just met you today. not enough."
The opponent made such a good posture, Qianye paused, and then said: "Your Excellency is one against two, even if you lose, you can retreat. You don't have to be humble. I don't know how to call you?"
"I'm Ji Sujin, the prince of the empire, titled Xuanwei, and I'm usually in the fiefdom. I haven't been out and about for a long time. Your Excellency Qianye probably hasn't heard of me."
The royal family is huge, with a bunch of princes, and their strength varies. Qianye has indeed never heard of this person. However, the two-character title should be the vassal king of Zhenbian. Unexpectedly, the empire even sent these bottom-of-the-box powers to the inner world.
"The emperor's family... really paid a lot." Qianye was not polite, he first met Emperor Hao and then King Xuanwei on the front line, even if he had prejudices, it did not prevent him from admiring Ji's bravery.
Ji Sujin said: "Oh, I only hate that I didn't work hard enough in the past, and my ability is not one-ten-thousandth of that of my ancestors."
After the two exchanged some polite words back and forth, Ji Sujin tentatively asked, "What's your plan now? If you don't have a goal, why don't you act together?"
Qianye asked back: "What is the goal of the empire in the other world?"
Ji Sujin showed a wry smile, and said, "How can there be any goal? If we really want to talk about goals, there is only one goal, that is, whatever the dark race wants to do, we must not let them do it."
This is true.
Qianye nodded and said: "Since that's the case, it's better for us to split up. The Eternal Night Council has created such a big battle, there must be a major conspiracy. To be honest, it is not a good thing for you to go with me."
Ji Sujin stayed a few more words, and seeing that Qianye just refused to allow it, she didn't force her, and handed Qianye a signal device, saying: "This is a special contact signal for my Ji family, and it can be transmitted extremely far under any circumstances. This place Although the environmental force is weird, the interference will not be too great. If you need it, you can use it directly. Of course, if you see someone who sent this signal, please give a helping hand if it is convenient."
Qianye was taken aback, how many people from the Ji family came this time? He received the signaling device and said: "This is natural." Then he bid farewell to Ji Sujin and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
As soon as he was out of Ji Sujin's eyes and ears, Qianye changed direction and followed the retreat route of the nerubian and the demon-born vice duke.
It is not a coincidence that the two Eternal Night powerhouses leave in the same direction, but they already know where to meet through some means, or there is a passage in that direction that can return to the outside world.
The tiankeng in the Black Sun Valley is basically a one-way passage. If you want to go back, you may have to find another way. The empire has no clue about this, so the strong people who enter the inner world, including the king of heaven, basically have the heart of death.
However, there is a glimmer of life in the other world. The passage to the inner world was opened by the three supreme beings of the holy mountain. Being able to open a passage means that a return passage can also be opened. Moreover, since a passage has already appeared between the two worlds, it is much easier to open a second passage.
Qianye wants to see what the dark race is planning to do, they don't always want a trip with no return.
Before going far, Qianye discovered the traces left by the Nerubian and the Demon-born Vice-Duke. The devil-born vice-duke lost his legs, and the place he passed was very obvious. He didn't seem to intend to hide it, and he didn't even do the basic cover-up and disturbance work.
After going all the way into the forest, the Demon-born Vice-Duke left an obvious symbol on a big tree, added a bit of his own force breath, and went away again.
Qianye tracked it down here, after a little thought, he didn't continue, but turned to the direction of the Nerubian.
The devil-born vice-duke lost important goods, and the crime is absolutely not light. He also broke his legs. The best way is to find a safe place to live in seclusion and recuperate, and wait until the overall situation is settled, or the demons find a way to return before appearing.
So even if Qianye didn't understand the meaning of the symbol left by the duke, he knew that there might be no result if he continued to follow.
The nerubian may have discovered something new along the way, and more importantly, from the words of the devil-born vice-duke, he should also have a share of the same device parts.
This means that tracking the nerubians, even if they can't find the place where the Eternal Night Council installed the mysterious device, at least they can intercept those parts and energy components and prevent them from falling into the hands of the demons.
Qianye bowed his body, walking through the forest like a cheetah. In his field of vision, a ray of dark blue force emerged from time to time. This is the trace of the original force left by the nerubian vice duke.
After following this for a while, Qianye suddenly stopped and looked up. On a huge leaf above, there is a small piece of spider silk floating.
The spider silk residue is no more than the size of a small finger, and it is easy to ignore it if you don't look carefully. Qianye lifted into the sky, leaned close to the spider silk, looked at the drag marks it left on the leaves, judged the direction of the force, looked along, and found another trace tens of meters away.
This trace is even smaller, only the size of a bean, but it cannot escape Qianye's eyes. With two points as a reference, Qianye quickly found the third spider silk trace, and found the fourth.
Standing under the fourth spider thread trace, Qianye no longer moved forward, but faintly sneered.
The marks left by the Nerubian Vice-Duke may seem inconspicuous, but they are actually very eye-catching in the eyes of those who are really good at hunting. It is even so eye-catching to the point of taking care of some who are not so good at hunting the strong.
This can be barely explained by the fact that the vice duke is not good at stealth, but it would be too much to deliberately cut off a little spider thread. And Qianye already knew that there were probably no spiders in the other world.
If it was other strong men who came after today and was misled to come here, even if they found something wrong, they might have to bite the bullet and chase them down. After all, this is the only clue. Even if the nerubian vice duke wanted to mislead, he had to lay out the traces himself, and wait for the stalker to run on the same route as him, just to see who was faster.
However, Qianye has the pupil of control and the vision of the original force. He doesn't rely on these traces to track. The aura of the original force left by the nerubian is enough.
The more truly strong a person is, the less likely the aura left behind will be assimilated by the inner world. The nerubian vice duke had just escaped not long ago, and the traces left by him were very eye-catching in Qianye's eyes. In the vision of the original force of the pupil of control, Qianye didn't need to look at the traces he intentionally left, and just followed the original force breath.
The nerubian deputy duke turned a few turns back and forth, and after going around twice, he finally fled in one direction. Qianye was not in a hurry, and followed far behind according to the extent of the force's aura dissipating, always keeping a distance of about ten minutes.
The nerubian vice duke probably believed that he had gotten rid of possible stalkers, and his route began to change. Judging from the current state of progress, he seems to have a relatively clear direction.
Qianye, who was following the breath of the original force all the way, suddenly raised his head and saw a large bluish-black mass of original force in the air, which had dissipated extremely faintly. This is the trace left by the signal flare of the Eternal Night Council, which was probably sent out half a day ago. The nerubian vice duke should have a secret method to track the direction of the signal flare.
From this, it can be seen that the devil-born vice duke still kept his hand and did not reveal all the secrets.
Now that the Nerubian Vice-Duke had been tracked down, Qianye didn't care about this trivial matter, restrained his breath, and began to sneak towards the gathering point of the dark race.
A few hours later, Qianye saw that a tall tower had been erected on a hill in the distance, and only the last part was left unfinished. Several dark race powerhouses worked together to lift a cauldron-like part, flew to the top of the tower, and placed it on the top of the tower. Some craftsmen are already waiting on it, and the parts will be installed as soon as they arrive.
These master craftsmen all have marquis-level cultivation bases.
