In the hall, the expensive long table was filled with delicacies. Hayashi River and Shi Di sat at both ends of the table, enjoying their dinner.
As for Fowler, he had been hiking with Shi Lanyi since the morning and had yet to return.
"My sister is too playful. She'll probably be back in a while …"
Shi Di raised his glass and toasted Hayashi River from afar as he explained with a smile.
Shi Di knew his sister Shi Lanyi very well. Her private life was not that messy, but when it came to the man she liked, she would not care about anything else.
This was not the first time something like this had happened …
Shi Di did not think much of it with Fowler. It was normal for a man as outstanding as Fowler to be liked by women.
Moreover, with his sister Shi Lanyi, he could get closer to Hayashi River, and it would be easier for them to work together in the future.
The only thing that worried Shi Di was that Shi Lanyi would not fall for it. If something happened, it would not be easy to clean up the mess.
After all, Shi Lanyi was already engaged to a marquis in the Northern Kingdom. If things got out of hand, it would damage the Shi Family's reputation.
"Mr. Shi Di. Even if you have the mechanical blueprints of the [Earth King Outfit], I'm not that interested. Even if I could completely analyze the structure of this thing, it would be a problem to build it, and it would take too long … "
Hayashi River sipped on his drink and said disinterestedly.
After he analyzed the structure of the metal block and showed it to Shi Di, Lin Chuan didn't seem very interested in it.
This was the explanation he came up with after discussing with the moon core. Even if the Shi Family had the mechanical blueprints of the [Earth King Outfit], it would take a long time to completely analyze it.
Hayashi River's lack of interest was because he wanted Shi Di to show him something substantial, as well as the Shi Family's long-term planning and research progress on the [Earth King Outfit].
"I understand, Mr. Chuan. I understand."
Shi Di nodded. He did not think there was anything wrong with this young machinist's attitude. Just as Hayashi River said, even if he had all the mechanical blueprints of the [Earth King Outfit], it would take at least 20 to 30 years to completely analyze it.
Moreover, this mechanical genius was only 20 years old. How could he be willing to waste time on [Earth King Equipment]? This attitude was normal.
While enjoying his dinner, Shi Di secretly deliberated and said, "Mr. Chuan. If our family has already analyzed more than 60% of the [Earth King Armament]'s mechanical blueprints and created a batch of semi-finished products, how long do you think it will take for us to achieve a breakthrough? "
As soon as he finished speaking —
Hayashi River raised his head and looked over. The pressure from before appeared again, causing Shi Di to clench his fists. He felt an inexplicable fear toward this young Mechanic.
Only then did Shi Di remember that this young man had three mechanic masters as his teachers. He probably had some kind of powerful equipment on him. If they were to clash, even if this was the Shi family's headquarters, they would still have to pay a heavy price.
Moreover, the most troublesome thing was that if the conflict was too great, it would be known by the outside world.
For a moment, Shi Di was somewhat vexed. He shouldn't have been unable to restrain himself and said these things at this time.
At the very least, he should have waited for two days to get closer to Hayashi River before saying such words.
Now, the situation was troublesome. Would this affect the grand plan of the Elder Ancestor...
Opposite him, Hayashi River put down his cup and looked at Shi Di. "Looks like the Shi family is thinking of replacing the Centaur Corps."
Hearing this, Shi Di's legs tightened. He was not surprised that Hayashi River would realize this. Mechanics were smart to begin with, so it was not strange for him to realize this.
Then, he heard Hayashi River say, "This is an internal dispute of the Northern Lands. I don't want to get involved, so I can pretend I didn't hear anything. As for the research on the related parts of the metal block, I can participate. However, I only have a good relationship with you, Mr. Shi Di, so I can answer some related questions. I don't know anything else. "
Shi Di's eyes widened, then he raised his cup and laughed. "Of course, of course. Mr. Chuan and I hit it off right from the start. I just want to ask you some questions in the field of mechanics when I'm free. It's nothing much, isn't it?"
Hayashi River nodded slightly and raised his cup in a toast.
At this moment, Shi Di was so excited that he almost wanted to sing out loud. He secretly reflected on himself. He was still thinking too habitually, using the method he used in the Northern Kingdom to figure out the thoughts of a mechanic.
As a group of mechanics, why would they care about those internal affairs? They only cared about the field of mechanics, improving their own mechanical skills, and developing all kinds of new mechanical devices, instruments, weapons, and so on...
With the opportunity to quickly obtain first-hand research information on the [Earth King Equipment], why would a mechanic care about what happened in the Northern Lands? This was completely unrelated to the internal affairs of the Northern Lands.
Moreover, there had been some friction between the White Dwarf Kingdom and the Centaur Army during the Hundred Years War.
After that, when the Centaur Army repaired the [Earth King Equipment], they even played tricks on the White Dwarf Kingdom's Master Mechanic. These were all old grudges.
Hayashi River was a mechanic of the White Dwarf Kingdom, and naturally, he did not like the Centaur Army. Even if he did not directly target them, he would naturally take advantage of the opportunity to stab them in the back.
Thinking of this, Shi Di was secretly happy. If Hayashi River's participation could make a breakthrough in the research of the [Earth King Equipment], whether it was for him or the Shi family, it would be of great benefit.
"Mr. Chuan. Please wait for a moment, I will contact you when the time comes. "Shi Di said.
Hayashi River nodded and chatted with Shi Di about some things in the Northern Lands. The two talked happily as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.
This dinner lasted until nine o'clock, when Fowler and Shi Lanyi came back from outside.
In fact, it was Fowler who helped Shi Lanyi back. When the latter walked, her legs were trembling, and she could not stand steadily.
Seeing Hayashi River and Shi Di looking at him, Fowler smiled apologetically. "Sorry! Mr. Shi Di, when Miss Lanyi and I were climbing the mountain, we fell, and it's a little difficult for us to move. "
"Oh... it's okay, it's okay..."
The smile on Shi Di's face was a little bit off. He was not a fool, of course, he could see that this was a lie.
Shi Lanyi's pretty face was blushing, and the corners of her eyes were filled with love. Shi Di knew very well what the two had done today.
"It's not Mr. Fowler's fault, it's all my own carelessness." Shi Lanyi looked at Fowler, her eyes were full of infatuation.
Seeing this, Hayashi River secretly shook his head. He chatted with Shi Di for a while, and then left with Fowler.
Looking out the window, the hover car disappeared into the night. Shi Lanyi leaned on the table, poured a glass of wine, and wantonly shouted: "Brother, I want this man! The lovely Fowler, I want to keep him by my side. You help me think of a way to get him from that young mechanic. "
Hearing this, Shi Di's face immediately changed. He was worried about this point, he did not expect Shi Lanyi to fall for it.
"Shut up! Don't mention this again. It's enough for you to play with others. Do you want to be with them for a long time? Don't forget your own engagement. If this engagement is broken, I won't care about you. Father, and the old ancestor, even if you don't die, you will lose a layer of skin... "
Shi Di's face was fierce, he fiercely stared at his sister and said.
Shi Lanyi's delicate body trembled, and she looked at her second brother with some fear. In her memory, Shi Di rarely acted like this. This second brother of hers never showed his emotions, and he never showed his thoughts to others, let alone to her.
From childhood to adulthood, her second brother spoiled her very much. This was the first time he had seen such a fierce expression.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you? Could it be that Mr. Fowler, or that Mr. Chuan, has an extraordinary background... "Shi Lanyi's pretty face wrinkled, and she looked like she was about to cry.
For his sister's temperament, Shi Di was very clear. She was very good at using a woman's own weapon.
Shi Di said with a straight face, "Not only Mr. Chuan, but also Mr. Fowler, their background is very extraordinary..."
After briefly explaining the background of Hayashi River and Fowler, Shi Di stared at Shi Lanyi and said, "You and Mr. Fowler, it's enough. But if it affects the engagement, it will not only be the Shi family that will lose face, but you will also find it difficult to survive in the Northern Land in the future."
"For the sake of your future, you should restrain a little..."
Shi Lanyi nodded, obediently apologized to Shi Di, and then returned to the room.
Closing the door, Shi Lanyi's face was full of fascination. It turned out that the man she spent the day with turned out to be so outstanding.
"Fowler is really a rare man in the world. If he is willing to elope with me, that would be great..."
Shi Lanyi fell on the bed, fantasizing all this. If Fowler can elope with her, I'm afraid it will become a legend in the Northern Land's beauty circle.
...
On the other side.
Hayashi River and Fowler returned to their residence, and then quietly went to the secret underground room of the Northern Land's Shi Hai Club. Sitting on the sofa, Fowler rubbed his waist and legs, shaking his head and said, "Today really tired me out..."
Around them, Old Aidan and Hawuya glared at this guy. The two old guys were in charge of monitoring, so naturally, they knew what Fowler had been doing for the day.
"Stop showing off there, get to the point."
Hayashi River glanced at Fowler. This guy was really a natural actor. With the body of Fuka No. 1, let alone Shi Lanyi, he could even take down a hundred women, but he just had to pretend there.
Of course, it could not be ruled out that Fowler was showing off. This guy was so licentious now, it could be imagined how many outrageous affairs he had done in the Western Land back then.
"There's something fishy about the Shi family. It's hard to say whether they were the real mastermind behind the explosion of that research base. But a long time ago, they should have been planning something..."
After flirting with Shi Lanyi for a whole day, it was impossible for him to get any direct information from the young lady of the Shi family.
Unlike Shi Di, Shi Lanyi was just a noble lady, so she did not know the inside story of the Shi family.
However, with his keen observation skills, and with Shi Lanyi leading the way, Fowler naturally found a lot of clues after touring half of the Shi family's territory.
"Actually, the Shi family's various activities have been planned for a long time, much earlier than Shi Hulie's ascension to the eighth realm. It should have been related to this five generations ago..."
Fowler revealed his findings and proudly said that in the Shi family's territory, there were many buildings that the Shi family did not know about, but he had a keen eye and could see through them at a glance, and deduced some things from them.
Hayashi River nodded. The information Fowler found matched the origin of the metal block in many aspects.
Hayashi River recounted his findings, omitting the location of the [Moon Core].
Old Aidan and Hai Wuya were speechless. These two old fellows had seen their fair share of storms, and immediately understood that the Shi family's plans for the Northern Lands were far greater than they had imagined.
"Oh my... Shi Hulie is indeed a realm eight expert. His ambitions are great, and he wants to replace the centaur army," Old Aidan said in shock.
"If the Shi family really succeeds in developing the [Earth King Armament], they might really achieve their goal." Hai Wuya exclaimed. The Shi family's ambitions were truly great.
At the side, Bayun's eyes were cold, his chest heaving up and down as he breathed slowly, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Mr. Chuan. Please help me! "
Bayun got up and walked to Hayashi River, bowing deeply.
Part of the truth of the tragedy from more than ten years ago had surfaced, and the majestic centaur army became more and more apprehensive. After staying in the secret chamber for a day and discussing with Madam Butterfly, Bayun knew that he could not change anything with his current strength.
The centaur army was now in the center of a turbulent undercurrent, and Bayun could not expose himself. He needed external help to change something.
Bayun had a premonition that if he did nothing, the centaur race's future would be the same as that research base 12 years ago.
Hayashi River looked at Bayun and said, "Mr. Bayun, my goal for this trip is still the same as before. As for other aspects, I am not helping you for free, nor do I need the so-called friendship of the centaur army. Do you understand? "
"I understand. If Mr. Chuan is willing to help, please let me know if you have any requests. "Bayun nodded firmly and promised.
Hayashi River pondered for a moment, then took out the map of the sealed domain and pointed at it. "Open this sealed domain. In the future, I want 70% of the sealed domain. As for what that 70% is, I will decide when the time comes."
Old Aidan, Fowler, and the rest all looked over, but did not speak. Although they were familiar with Bayun, when it came to interests, everything was according to Hayashi River's wishes.
Bayun did not hesitate and said, "90%! If we can really obtain this sealed domain, 90% of it will belong to Mr. Chuan. "
Hayashi River looked at the majestic centaur army, carefully scrutinizing it for a moment, and nodded. "Alright. Since that's the case... "
Stroking the map of the sealed domain, Hayashi River sighed. "I'll just put in some effort..."
