On the second floor of the castle.
Tang Yu made a rare appearance in the office. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, he could see the light rain outside.
"The weather isn't very good … but it seems I don't need to bring an umbrella when I go out now."
His proficient control of Origin Energy allowed him to easily control it to seep out of his body and form a translucent aura flame, or rather, an aura barrier. It blocked the rain, as well as the blood and other filth that might be affected by the battle, from his body.
He was very familiar with this trick. He didn't need to be distracted to control it. He could do it by instinct.
The first airship test flight was successful. The second and third airships were also starting to be built.
With the workshop, the time was mainly spent on assembly. On average, an airship could be formed every five days.
"However, with the existing materials, we can only build three small airships. That's the limit. I must ask Elaine to arrange for the logistics department to purchase the urgently needed materials."
"The airship's control positions can be subdivided. The captain controls the overall situation. In addition, it's best to be equipped with a dedicated helmsman, gunner, observer, defense rune controller, and so on. It's estimated that an airship needs at least 50 people to operate perfectly and exert its proper combat power."
It also needs to be equipped with a certain number of armed personnel, that is, air troops.
The airship's primary role is to transport cargo, but in the future, it may also carry some passengers. The existence of air troops can not only deal with emergencies, but also deal with ill-intentioned passengers.
"One more thing is very important. There must be a relatively safe route. Although the airship is comparable to a transcendent combat unit, it's best to avoid high-intensity battles. At least we can save a lot of spirit stones. Well, later I'll let the people from the intelligence department drive the floating chariot to explore an air route between Tree Shade and Jingcheng."
Tang Yu pondered and wrote down some key points.
At this time.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." He said.
The door was pushed open, and Chen Haiping walked in with a pile of documents in his hand.
"Leader, these are the information for the airship recruitment."
Tang Yu stared at the information piled up by at least a few books. His eyelashes twitched. "I'll leave these to you."
"There are a few captain candidates' information. You should take a look. Of course, they don't know what position they're applying for right now."
Tang Yu rubbed his temples and nodded helplessly.
Chen Haiping said again, "One more thing. Several people came to the castle. They claimed to be messengers from Jingcheng and wanted to meet you."
"Take them to the parlor."
…
In the guest hall.
There were a total of three people from Jingcheng. The leader looked like he was in his thirties. Since Tang Yu walked in, he had been staring at him with an inexplicable light in his eyes.
"You're Tree Shade's Tang Yu?" His tone was harsh.
Chen Haiping was about to lose his temper.
Tang Yu waved to stop him.
The leading young man slightly raised his chin and continued, "This time, on behalf of the Jingcheng officials, I recruit you to join the exploration team of the Mirage Mountain …"
"Conscription?" Tang Yu raised his eyebrows.
"That's right." The leading youth looked arrogant, "For a small shelter like Tree Shade, this is a rare opportunity. I hope you won't kill yourself-"
As he spoke, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
A powerful aura emanated from the young director's body. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
"Do you want to get out of here, or do you want me to help you?"
The three messengers didn't dare to speak anymore. They bowed their heads and left the castle in embarrassment.
"Director, these people from Jingcheng are so arrogant! Is this the attitude of an invitation?! "
Chen Haiping said angrily. Since the development of the Tree Shade, outsiders must pay attention to even an ordinary official. How could they be despised and belittled like this?
"Arrogant? That's just an act. They didn't come here for the exploration team. "
"Then …?"
Tang Yu shook his head.
On the map, the small dots representing several 'messengers' were red dots, and they were dark red.
If it was to let the Tree Shade join the exploration team, even if they were arrogant people, they wouldn't be marked with a red dot. The only explanation was that those people were already hostile before they came.
With some kind of purpose that he didn't know.
…
The next day.
Jingcheng, Li Clan.
The leading messenger, Li Ran, was standing in front of a middle-aged man with a dignified face.
"Tang Yu is the murderer who killed my son?"
"That's right." Li Ran nodded, "My tracking ability has determined that the murderer who killed Young Master Li, even if it's not Tang Yu, must have a close relationship with him."
"The Tree Shade's director is indeed as rumored. His strength is extraordinary. I'm afraid he won't be easy to deal with."
The dignified middle-aged man walked to the window and didn't speak.
The rain pattered down.
… …
Jingcheng Council.
Today, many giants gathered in one place.
Two days ago, the exploration team returned without success. But an inconspicuous shelter that no one even knew about had entered the eyes of the giants.
The Tree Shade.
With unimaginable rune equipment manufacturing technology, and even the ability to engrave spells on scrolls, the hunters who came out of the Tree Shade Shelter, each person's strength was amazing.
"If the Tree Shade's rune technology is in our hands, the shelter's overall strength can rise by at least 50%! I propose that we let the Tree Shade hand over the rune technology. "
The Li Clan's patriarch spoke up and said that he sent someone to 'kindly invite the Tree Shade to join the exploration team. But the Tree Shade looked down on them and directly kicked them out.'
"Since the Tree Shade is so heartless, we don't have any psychological burden to force them to hand over the rune technology. If we can get our hands on such a great technology and carry it forward, it can be regarded as a blessing to mankind."
"Chief Li is right."
"It's not that we covet the rune technology, but it's for the survival of mankind."
"Hey, leave the bad things to me."
Some of the giants echoed, each with their own calculations.
As they spoke, they looked at the number one giant.
The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat tapped his fingers on the table. He didn't agree or refuse.
He just said to discuss again and then dismissed the meeting.
… …
Late at night.
"I don't know what the Li family is planning."
"Patriarch, then we …"
"First send someone to the Tree Shade shelter to investigate, and then wait for the opportunity to move."
… …
"Chief, about today's matter?"
"The Tree Shade is not just a shelter. It has already formed a beneficial relationship with Lindong, Hengcheng, and other shelters … Tomorrow, send someone to the Tree Shade secretly. I need first-hand information about the Tree Shade. Also, we can consider inviting the Tree Shade to join the exploration team."
… …
"Boss, if we can get the rune technology, then we'll be rich."
"Hmph, I don't know what that old guy Li Zongwei is selling. The rune technology is a big deal. We can't follow the Li family's rhythm. So …"
