Chapter one hundred and seventy-fifth house arrest Yomington(1/2)
On the plate, the surface of the freshly grilled fish is brown and bubbling with oil. The spices sprinkled on top are stimulated by the high temperature to bring out the strong aroma, which smells in the nose and makes people move their index fingers.
Edgar, who had been drifting at sea for a long time, could tell that the grilled fish was cooked at just the right temperature, indicating that the person who made the grilled fish was a very skilled cook. On the ship, cooks who could make such delicious food were generally
Very prestigious.
The Meteor Detective opposite him also knew the intensity of the negotiation very well. If he couldn't argue, he would remove the person debating. If there was no opponent, he would naturally win.
A full glass of beer is placed next to the dinner plate, as well as a knife and fork.
Edgar knew that there was no point in staying in Raging Waves City, so he simply started eating and drinking.
He also asked Luke casually: "Inspector, you are very powerful. You invited Yaomington to your ship... Oulu Academy invited him, and he couldn't even think about it. But this only means that you won a game."
field, even if you successfully get the repair project of Haijiao Port, you may not be able to start the construction smoothly.
Even if you can start work, your ships will not be able to get out of the sea. Next time I come, I will not bring these four Adonis-class steam battleships, I will send all your ships to the bottom of the sea."
Luke, who was threatened by Edgar, couldn't help but shake his head: "I originally wanted you to go back alive, but you provoke me so much. If I don't respond, it will damage the prestige of the Imperial Secret Service.
I am going to kill you."
Luke took out a white glove from his pocket and threw it at Edgar's face.
Edgar grabbed the glove thrown by Luke and showed a ferocious smile: "Inspector Meteor, I accept your invitation to a duel. This will be a fair duel."
Luke looked at Edgar: "This is a fair duel, the time is up to you."
"At four o'clock in the afternoon, you can decide the location, but I hope that all the city officials of Raging Wave City can see this duel."
Luke smiled and said: "The duel can be held at the City Government Office Square. I'll add some difficulty and gimmicks. How about fighting on an airship?"
Edgar did not expect that Luke would choose such a special duel location, and he also realized that this location would definitely be beneficial to him. But since he had chosen the duel time and the other party had no objection, he could not question the duel location.
Moreover, the turbulence of an airship in the air will not be lower than that of a ship in the sea. Perhaps this duel location will be beneficial to you.
"No problem, just fight on the airship. I will regret your impulse... No, you have no chance to regret it."
Edgar did not touch the grilled fish in front of him. He stood up, saluted Luke, and then left the Lucky Princess.
Mrs. Tasia came down from the bridge. She had just heard the conversation between Luke and Edgar, and said worriedly: "Detective, I know Edgar. He has been a navy and a pirate, and he is very strong.
And he seems to be able to use some kind of secret technique to increase his strength in a short time.
I should not be his opponent.
If you must kill Edgar, we Nagas can sneak attack on the Coral Reef now."
Luke asked the cook to serve him another plate of grilled fish and continued to eat, and said to Mrs. Tasia: "I know Edgar better than you. He likes to duel with others and has even killed some people who are stronger than him. He
Since he provoked me, I complied with his wish.
Don't worry, I know Edgar's abilities, but Edgar doesn't know me. He is dead in this duel, and the ship he brought... you are ready to accept it."
The confidence shown by the Inspector made it difficult for Mrs. Tasia to say anything, but it was still surprising that he allowed himself to take over the four steam warships: "Inspector, you want to seize the Saxon Project warship... This will give
An excuse for them to attack us."
"Do you think Saxon Engineering will not attack us if we don't seize these four warships? I will deal with Saxon Engineering. After you accept these four warships, seize the time to train and wait until our warships are built.
, you must be able to directly form combat effectiveness."
Mrs. Tasia knew that Inspector Meteor had a ship-building plan, but she didn't know what kind of ship was being built. But as long as it was a steam battleship like the Adonis class, she would be satisfied.
"Yes, Detective. Thank you, Detective!"
"Go get ready."
"As you command!"
The blockade of the Cape District was lifted, and the news that Inspector Meteor was about to duel with Saxon Engineering Representative Edgar quickly spread throughout the city.
Most city officials are aware of Edgar's strength. He has experienced various wars and battles and has very rich dueling experience. However, Inspector Meteor seems to have not shown much strength. He initiated this duel, which is indeed true.
Some missteps.
If Inspector Meteor is killed by Edgar in this duel... the fog over Raging Waves City will clear up.
Mrs. Mihir, Councilor Ibor and Viscount Iscolan, who were still running around, immediately panicked when they heard the news about the duel between Inspector Meteor and Edgar. They immediately sent people to the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau to inquire.
, the answers I got were all...get the repair project of Haijiao Port done well, and you don’t need to worry about other things.
The venue for the duel was prepared in the City Government Affairs Office Square. A large airship was mobilized, and someone boarded the top of the airship to set up the duel venue. This special duel venue added some interest to the duel.
While people from all walks of life in Raging Waves City had their own expectations for this duel, Yaomington seemed to have become a neglected existence.
Yomington followed Bruce Ban and teleported into the subspace, and the bright sky instantly turned into darkness. Under the night, Oulu College fell into a deep sleep. It was only because of the infiltration of the Abyss Mage that the college sent more troops at night.
of guards.
When Yomington entered the academy, Abyss Leopards frequently jumped out to stop him, and they were only allowed to go after Bruce Ban revealed his identity.
"I have been to Oulu Academy many times before, but this is the first time I saw the Abyss Leopards. They are really a group of beautiful and smart guys. The academy's defense is so tight. Did something happen?"
Yomington chatted casually, trying to get some information out of Bruce Ban.
Bruce Ban was not so vigilant. He replied: "Yesterday we were invaded by the Abyss Mages, and one student died. Fortunately, Professor Qingkong found and eliminated these Abyss Mages, including an Abyss Apostle.
We are not yet sure if there are any other lurking abyss mages, so we can only strengthen the academy's defense."
"Miss Qingkong killed another Abyss Apostle?"
"Yes, it is Portlem, the apostle of the fifth abyss."
Yeomington was very curious about Qingkong's strength. It was rumored that she once fought against Dean Wilred. Although there was no winner, she stole the Dean's wand of wisdom. Just because Qingkong's identity was exposed, she did
As a professor at Oulu Academy, the authenticity of the battle with Wilred cannot be judged.
Destroying the Furious Thunder Tower...Later, Mrs. Mihir explained that it was done by the Abyss Mage.
Gu Bo
Therefore, the previous evaluation of Qingkong's strength should have been very inaccurate. But when she was encircling and suppressing the Abyss Mage on Organ Street, she killed an Abyss Apostle, and this time she killed another Abyss Apostle.
The Apostles of the Abyss are a group of guys who almost destroyed Oulu Academy a hundred years ago, which is enough to prove that although Qingkong's strength is not as strong as the legend, it is still strong enough.
"Miss Qingkong is really a powerful and mysterious elf. Has she been working as a professor at Oulu College before? I don't mean anything else. I just think that based on her abilities, she should have been famous in the world."
"Professor Qingkong doesn't want others to ask about her things. I only follow orders and do things." Bruce suddenly stopped: "We are here."
"Are you here?" Yomington was stunned for a moment, and then found that he was no longer on the road to the college, but in a closed and dark room, with two followers missing. He asked Bruce Ban: "Where is this place?" Where? Where have my people gone?"
"Professor Qingkong's order is to bring you here, and your entourage is not included in the invitation."
Yomington realized that this might be a trap, and he said sternly to Bruce: "I am an imperial official, and I ask you to take me out of here immediately. I want to see Dean Willred."
"Professor Ben, you can go out now and ask Lord Yomington's entourage to go home and wait for news." Qingkong appeared in the room, and the lights in the room were turned on to illuminate the space.
"Yes, Professor Qingkong."
Bruce Ban left, leaving Sunny Sky and Yeomington alone in the room.
"Sit down..." Qingkong waved his hand, and two ice chairs appeared in the room: "I hope this invitation does not disturb you."
Yomington did not sit down. The scene at this time made him a little uneasy: "Miss Qingkong, this is not the way of doing things at Oulu College. No matter what questions you want to ask me, you need to do it in an open place.
I demand to see Dean Willred, otherwise I will not answer any questions."
Qingkong sat down in a chair and said to Yomington casually: "The commission I received is to let you stay at Oulu College before the city council hands over the Cape Port repair project to the Yanyang Group. .So I don’t care too much whether you answer the question or not.”
After hearing Qingkong's declaration of his purpose, Yomington said angrily: "Are you pretending to pass on Dean Wilred's instructions? Oulu College has always not interfered with the government affairs of Raging Waves City. You know that you are detaining an imperial official like this. I don’t know what trouble it will bring to Oulu College. Let me go quickly, otherwise Dean Wilred will definitely punish you severely."
"I did not falsely pass on the dean's instructions. The dean is indeed very angry at how you treat Kestrel. Now the college has organized professional professors to treat Kestrel. Once Kestrel regains some memory, Oulu College will definitely report to the highest authority in the empire. The court prosecuted all persons involved.
Yomington, you still have a chance to mitigate your crime...help us restore Kestrel's memory, and help us rescue other girls who have been experimented."
"I don't know what you are talking about? Kestrel is my adopted daughter. She was like this before I adopted her. Give Kestrel to me and I will find the best doctor to treat her."
Yomington didn't expect that he would cause such a big trouble when he brought Kestrel to Raging Wave City. Once Oulu College made up its mind to investigate this matter, the entire plan must be hidden, and Kestrel... must be restored after she recovers her memory. Before, get her out of the hands of Oulu Academy.
But... I don’t know how I left here.
Qingkong said: "If you want to take Kestrel away, you can go to Dean Willred."
"I want to see Dean Willred now."
"It's night at Oulu College, and the dean is resting. And you can't go anywhere until things are over in Raging Waves City."
Yomington took out a magic wand from his sleeve and threatened Qingkong: "You are illegally placing an imperial official under house arrest. This is a felony! Let me go now...otherwise, you will bear all the consequences."
Qingkong's eyes turned into ice crystal color in an instant, and a powerful aura pressed towards Yeomington: "You are turning the house arrest of an imperial official into the murder of an imperial official. Yeomington, stay here honestly until you can leave.
moment...otherwise, you have to bear all the consequences."
The momentum Yeomington had built up was instantly shattered. He did not dare to contradict Qingkong, so he could only put away the magic wand and sit down in the chair.
Then he changed his attitude and said to Qingkong: "Miss Qingkong, I don't know who you are working for, but since you accepted someone else's entrustment, you should also be able to accept my entrustment.
Please quote your price, and I guarantee that what we can give you will definitely be much more than what Inspector Meteor can give you."
Qingkong didn't expect that Yomington was a chameleon and his face could change very quickly.
She said: "Inspector Meteor promised to help me become the next president of Oulu College."
Qingkong decided to tease Yeomington and see what "much more" price he could offer.
