Chapter 873, Twenty-Nine
"What are you Silver City Black Knights plotting? Where did they go?" Marquis Bolton angrily pounded on the door of the room, but how could an ordinary person like him break the door on this airship?
The eleventh brother leaned against the door, holding a glass of ice cream in one hand and a small pure gold spoon in the other.
He said casually, "Bolton, this is none of your business. You'd be better off worrying about your wife than your housekeeper."
Bolton paused, then said, "Why should I worry about my wife? She's the fifth princess of the royal family. Who would dare to touch her?"
The eleventh prince scoffed, "You really are a fool. Now that Duke Storm is about to inherit the throne, he will definitely clear away all obstacles before he ascends to the throne. Among them, the second prince and the fifth princess are his biggest rivals. You don't know about the Fate Masters, do you? They like to nip all dangers in the bud, so the second prince and the fifth princess are doomed."
“My wife is the king’s favorite daughter. How could he allow the Duke of Storms to do this?” Bolton was shocked.
The eleventh brother thought for a moment and said, "It seems you really don't understand the Fate Master family..."
The Marquis of Bolton's voice gradually lowered: "Can you save her?"
The eleventh brother scratched his head: "Wake up, we Black Knights aren't some chivalrous knights. The king has probably already given the Fifth Princess's real name to the Duke of Storms. It's quite easy for a demigod arbiter to kill an A-rank with black magic."
"So what are you doing now?" Bolton asked. "What does this have to do with the butler?"
The eleventh brother laughed and said, "You probably don't know who your butler is, do you?"
“Huh?” Marquis Bolton was stunned: “What is his identity?”
“He’s the Joker of the Eastern Continent, he’s the white light of the superconducting world,” Old Eleven said, laughing and crying at the same time. “Do you even know what kind of time bomb you’re carrying around? He’s just a butler and he’s already turned the Roosevelt Kingdom upside down. If he were to become a marquis, wouldn’t he tear the kingdom apart?”
"Are you sure?" Bolton asked in shock.
His first thought was of the white light he had seen for the first time in the superconducting world, and how the other person had said a lot of nice things about the "light"...
Immediately afterwards, Bolton felt that many things made sense.
If the white light were by his side, then all the merits he had received and the several times he had escaped death would be understandable.
With such a master by my side, it would be difficult for me to die even if I wanted to.
"I'm not sure if I can say it?" the eleventh brother said calmly.
Bolton fell silent inside the door, but the next moment he pounded on the door even louder, only to be met with a hoarse roar from the Marquis of Bolton: "Are you trying to assassinate my idol! If you have a problem, come at me!"
Old Eleven, standing outside the door, was startled and nearly dropped his cup: "Are you crazy? At your age, you're still chasing after celebrities?!"
Bolton roared, "What are you going to do to him?"
Old Eleven laughed and said, "Don't worry, we won't let him die. He has something we need on him."
After saying that, Old Eleven took his cup and walked away. Bolton could only hear the female soldiers' playful laughter in the distance.
He didn't know how much time had passed when Bolton, who was sitting on the floor, suddenly heard a click.
He turned his head and was shocked to see "Twenty-Nine" outside the door staring coldly at him.
Bolton instinctively backed away.
But then Twenty-Nine calmly asked, "You'd risk your life to save him, right?"
Bolton looked at the young Asian man in front of him: "You want me to save... the Joker?"
Twenty-nine put Bolton's phone and virtual reality glasses in a waterproof bag and tossed it to him.
Bolton glanced at it: "Why is there no signal?"
“We’re blocked,” said Twenty-Nine. “Get up and run west with me. There’s a rushing river in 800 meters. When there’s a flash flood, the fish won’t eat. If we drift 10 kilometers downstream, we can get out of the signal blockade zone of the No. 11 airship. This is the only way we can go.”
Because of sweating, Burton's golden hair was matted and stuck to his forehead, making him look a little disheveled.
He was puzzled: "Aren't you the Eleventh Brother's apprentice? Why did you save Joker? Why did you save me? Is this some kind of conspiracy?"
Twenty-Nine turned and walked out: "If your phone didn't require iris scanning to unlock, and if only Princess Five could help at this time, I wouldn't have come to save you. I've known the Joker for much longer than you have. Remember, don't look around, and even if you see Eleven, don't look at him. He's an A-rank, he can sense it."
Twenty-nine, along with Bolton, stealthily slipped past the banquet hall amidst the laughter and chatter of the airship.
Instead of rushing to open the airship door, he went into the engine room maintenance room and opened the maintenance port at the bottom of the airship.
After jumping out of the airship, the two ran westward through the mud.
Bolton slipped and fell several times, then got back up.
He had never suffered so much in his life.
Upon arriving at the riverbank, the once quiet and docile stream had become murky and extremely turbulent due to the torrential rain.
Bolton panicked; he dared not jump.
This jump was tantamount to handing his fate over to God; if he were to crash into a boulder in the river, he would die without knowing why.
Bolton shouted through the rain, "Do we have to jump?"
Twenty-nine kicked him in the butt from behind and then jumped into the murky river, drifting downstream.
...
...
In the rain.
Two mountain bikes made their way through the mud, the rain soaking Qingchen and He Jinqiu completely, until their bikes got stuck in the mud, at which point they continued on foot.
As He Jinqiu walked, she said, "Actually, I'm quite envious of you."
Qing Chen was somewhat surprised: "Are you envious of my circumstances?"
“No,” He Jinqiu shook his head: “I envy you for having suffered so many setbacks, even when you were thrown into a place like Base A02, you still managed to stay true to yourself.”
Qing Chen asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
He Jinqiu let the rain wash over her: "After the rat infestation in City 10, I walked through the city and saw the members of the parent-teacher association looking like stray dogs, but they were laughing so happily. When I met ordinary people, they would recognize me and call me a hero... I haven't felt that kind of atmosphere in a long time. I envy you for staying true to yourself, and I also envy the people you lead who have always maintained their enthusiasm. When I joined the army as a child, I wanted to be that kind of person. Later, many things changed, and I changed too."
Qing Chen laughed and said, "It's not too late to change back now!"
He Jinqiu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That makes sense."
The torrential rain poured down from the sky like a waterfall, completely soaking the two of them.
"The rain is too heavy," Qingchen shouted.
He Jinqiu laughed and said, "I don't have time to wait for the rain to stop."
"Let's go!" Qingchen ran wildly in the rain.
The two top-tier A-level experts traversed mountains and valleys as if walking on flat ground.
Two solitary figures raced rapidly toward the massive military base in the distance.
The rain curtain was also shattered by the two of them.
They saw lights in the distance amidst the towering mountains. The entire Imperial TOP military base was heavily guarded, and 500 meters further on, there were drones patrolling the tracks almost every five meters.
If they wanted to force their way through, they would first have to get past hundreds of drone blockades.
Qing Chen asked, "Force our way in?"
He Jinqiu smiled and said, "I don't have time to sneak in. Let's force our way in! Save your tricks for inside the base. I'll handle this now!"
The next moment, the two of them rushed down the mountain at the same time.
He Jinqiu wore a black jacket, with nine jade swords swirling around her, weaving into a dense net of swords.
The Azure Jade Heart Sword stood guard within a 200-meter radius around the two of them, ready to pierce any drones it encountered.
Gradually, more and more drones gathered around, and Boss He's Jade Heart Sword killed faster and faster.
As Qing Chen ran, he casually turned his head to look and saw that the Heart Swords were cutting the air into white lines in the rain.
Has the rain stopped?
No.
Qing Chen looked up and was surprised to find that the Azure Jade Heart Sword seemed to have created a real 'sword net' around him, and even raindrops were bounced off by the invisible airflow.
I never imagined that the Hu Family Heart Sword could be so terrifying when used to its fullest extent. No wonder Boss He was able to stand alone when facing the rat horde.
Within Hu's intelligence agency, He Jinqiu has even been internally designated as the next chairman of the board, and is considered the most likely person to get close to the founder, Hu Shuo.
It's such a pity that such a brilliant and talented person was killed by fate.
Inside the military base, people had already spotted the intruders. They frantically approached with drones, only to find that no matter how many drones they sent, it was all in vain.
However, no alarms sounded at the military base.
They did not panic and request support from nearby military bases.
They seemed to have been prepared all along, waiting for the intruders to arrive.
The Fate Master has foreseen the coming future.
Deep underground, at the bottom of each equipment elevator shaft, the eyes of the robots that were charging were now glowing white.
Immediately afterwards, elevators started up, and hundreds of war machines quickly rose to the ground.
Each of them is equipped with a miniature nuclear-powered mechanical core, enabling them to fly into the sky and remotely emit pulses. Their electromagnetic pulse-proof insulating coating is virtually unbeatable.
Such a mechanized force would likely be completely annihilated even if the Qing Clan's shadow forces tried to break through.
This is the most important military base in the kingdom, and the armed forces it is equipped with are terrifyingly powerful.
Qing Chen suddenly said, "Wait a minute, let's break in in twenty minutes!"
He Jinqiu looked at him: "A fortune teller?"
“How could there be no Fate Masters in a place like this?” Qing Chen said calmly. “So, we were actually ‘seen’ long ago.”
This is also why Qing Chen chose to force his way in; in front of the Fate Master, any so-called sneak attack is nothing but self-deception.
But time is the weapon that defeats the Virtuoso.
As Qing Chen and He Jinqiu rapidly approached, an even faster figure in black appeared.
The next moment, the silhouette rushed out of the sword net woven by He Jinqiu, and it arrived at the high wall outside the military base. It actually leaped slightly and crossed the four-meter electric fence.
The metal storm inside the base activated its aiming program, and a barrage of bullets, even more rapid than a rainstorm, came crashing down, making it impossible to tell whether what was landing on the silhouette was raindrops or bullets.
Pain surged through Qingchen's mind in an instant, and everything the silhouette was enduring was immediately reflected back to Qingchen's body.
The silhouette's weak point is the space between the eyebrows. As long as you don't get hit in the space between the eyebrows, you'll be fine. So, a new bug has appeared.
