Him and their stars

Faced with this problem, Tomitelli's eyes did become dazed for a moment. But then, her expression quickly softened, revealing an expression that was too light to be true.

"Revenge? There are too many Avengers! Captain Plank~~~ I have a young friend. Hmm? Does it count as young? Haha, it doesn't matter. She also wants revenge, and she is obviously a good one. Beautiful girl, you have to make yourself look like a human or a ghost. What a tragedy of life! No, no, no, I never want revenge."

You are such good besties! As a newly promoted snake leader, Captain Plank has secretly checked the organization's most advanced database, and he can probably guess who the other party is talking about.

At this time, the Great Khan's face showed a fervent and fierce emotion, like a martyr: "But, I am an adult, and I have a big pattern. Human beings want to use our bones to become It will become the nourishment to nourish their civilization in the next generation. As for me, I just firmly believe that prosperity without tempering cannot withstand the test. There will be no ship to carry me and the Eero people in the next civilization era, but our obsession is The material that can transform this ship! Captain Plank, my new comrade-in-arms, please witness my end."

You are really going crazy! In addition, I don’t want to be your new comrade, and I feel that the result will not be very good.

"Come with me to take out the divine sword of revenge!"

So why don’t you still want revenge?

"I didn't originally want to do something so extreme, but humans forced me to do it."

According to Planck's own plan, finding a remote planet without care and leaving Tomitelli behind would be the end of his benevolence. But since it was the mission of "Ms. Past," what could he say?

Then, it is a typical treasure hunt and exploration story. Following the mysterious guidance given by the Queen of the Elor people, they carefully ran to the New Jade Gate to visit, only to find that it was about to become a large military camp.

As for everyone's destination, the so-called New Yumen Museum of Ancient Civilization and History is claimed to be a civilian facility open to ordinary citizens, but its security is even tighter than the headquarters of the garrison army.

In addition, the giant statue placed as a landmark near the "museum" clearly contains ancient war robots. Others may not be able to see it, but Tomitelli Khan can.

"Why does the museum's security team seem to be better at fighting than most security teams? And it is also well-equipped?" Uncle Tom, the third boss, said it was difficult to understand.

"How fresh. Let me tell you, Alliance, at least in the early days of the interstellar voyage, the most capable marines have always been the tax police. Second only to the security guards of chaebols and large companies." Plank said proudly.

"If the tax police team can't defeat corporate security, then what's the point of being sophisticated?" Miss Fantine said coldly, folding her hands.

"This is not the point. This only shows that there must be something fishy in the museum." Captain Plank said.

"Yes, that researcher named Summers who often appears in the museum is actually a prosthetic!" Miss Fantine pointed to her eyes: "I am 'Exploration', I can feel it."

"People from the Omnic Brotherhood? Haha, fortunately our old 'Takuzu' is not here, otherwise there would have been a fight."

But no matter what, maybe it was the goodwill of the hands that controlled destiny. They actually waited until the security was relaxed for a moment, and then sneaked into the ruins of the Enlightened One underground in the museum and got clues.

However, Tomitelli told everyone that the so-called next step of guidance points to the ancient fortress known as the "Devil's Throat", which has now been changed to the "Fortress of Unity".

"...So, while the Demon's Throat is still in your hands, why don't you go and get it?" Captain Plank felt that the other party was clearly playing him.

"At that time, I didn't know anything. Besides, I've also said that I didn't want to do something so awesome before."

Captain Plank still felt that the other party was playing a trick on him, but the sunk costs had reached this level, and it was impossible not to continue. Considering that the portrait of the Great Khan is now scattered all over the galaxy, and it is estimated that it will be unrecognizable to humans even if it turns to ashes, he can only volunteer to explore it himself.

The captain is still very confident in his ability to dress up, and even more confident in his ability to hunt for treasure.

To be honest, these days, among the pirates with some reputation and the villains with some reputation, who hasn’t dug up one or two Enlightenment relics?

Then, the good news is, he did make it safely into the civilian area of ​​the fortress. According to the clues provided by the Great Khan, the enemy was found in an inaccessible ventilation duct.

The bad news is that when he was about to retreat, he was recognized by the surveillance area.

Captain Planck said this is really unscientific! I tried my best to protect my privacy. The facial information currently left in the databases of various countries should only be a few particularly vague side faces.

What's more, he was obviously in disguise, using both scientific and mystical methods.

But no matter what, he was discovered. The Empire's Star Viewers and Inquisitors even took up fishing and chased after him without any traces of him.

Then, there was this pursuit that lasted for three weeks. The comrades of the Nine Snakes pirate group were sinking and scattered. When they were driven to the end of the Dawn Passage, only the last Nine Snakes remained.

Their shields were down, their armor was in pieces, their energy and ammunition stocks were less than 20%, and they were almost at the end of their rope. Not to mention fighting the pursuers, he was unable to even continue escaping, so he could only hide the ship behind the fourth planet and tremble.

If the empire and the community hadn't suddenly started fighting, it would have been a matter of time before someone discovered them.

"So, you see, we still have some luck, right? The spirit of the universe is indeed protecting us." Ms. Great Khan said to Captain Plank.

The latter fell into thinking: "So, why did they start fighting?"

"Why are you surprised now? Haven't you been saying before that it is a matter of time before the empire and the community go to war?" Miss Fantine said.

"It is indeed a matter of time, but I did not expect it to be so soon, nor did I expect it to be right in front of us." Plank intervened: "So, this is indeed destiny! Hahaha, I suddenly feel that the organization can Let’s fight for another hundred years.”

Miss Fantine was startled for a moment, and immediately understood what the other party meant: "Oh, because the Empire and the Community are at war, there is an opportunity for the World Snake to make trouble, right? You always do this, no wonder you are being attacked. Everyone shouted that he was beaten.”

"We. Miss Fantine, we. You are now also a member of the World Snake." Plank said: "For the organization you should now have, and for the newly promoted 'Black Snake' among the Thirteen Faces, you There must be basic respect. Respect, do you understand?”

In any case, this battle between the earth and the community did save the fate of Nine Snakes and Tomitelli Khan. Not only did they escape, but they also picked up a lot of usable consumables from the wreckage of the war.

Pirates are good at picking up trash and finding treasures, and of course they are also good at engineering and grafting. After a while of tinkering, the Nine Snakes began to stand up again, and its energy was finally fully charged. The atmosphere inside the ship became more and more lively.

"The next step should be the destination."

"Yes, that is my destination. The sword of revenge... no, the sword that tempers civilization is right here." Tomitelli said.

"Even if I want to find another place, I can't find it. This is already the end of the Dawn Channel. Maybe there are undiscovered channels leading to some unknown galaxy. But in this year, there are many exploration ships from various countries. The galaxy has been explored, but nothing has been gained." Miss Fantine said.

This is actually normal. In interstellar exploration, the exploration cycle of a galaxy has always been measured in ten years. In just one year, I couldn't even figure out the basic conditions of the planet, let alone find the gravity well in the vast empty sky.

You know, even in the Milky Way mainland, there are often news of new gravity well routes being discovered, let alone the New World.

"Of course, my intuition tells me that there should be other channels in this galaxy." Miss Fantine said.

After all, she is a psyker and an "explorer" with excellent spatial recognition ability. She is still very confident in her intuition.

Tomitelli Khan showed a gratified smile, stretched out his hand to lift Miss Fantine's delicate chin, and praised: "What an admirable and lovely girl, with knowledge and calmness under her beauty, yet still slender and elegant." Keen perception. Oh my, if my empire still exists, I will definitely ask you to be my Hoshimi officer. To be honest, being a pirate is really an underachievement."

After all, she is the queen of the Elor people. She has a tall figure like a supermodel, and her scarlet scaly skin is very powerful. Compared with humans, the facial features are too sharp and the outlines are too clear. But once you accept this setting, there is a sharp and deadly beauty.

Miss Fantine was immediately shocked, her face flushed.

"But my empire is gone!" A sad expression appeared on Tomitelli's face again. She then let go of the completely confused first mate, wiped away the tears that didn't actually exist at all, and then faintly reported the coordinates of a cosmic point.

Fang Ting hurriedly left the Great Khan as if fleeing, and quickly entered the coordinates into the navigation device. The third generation Nine Snakes dragged the clumsy hull like this, stumbling towards the distant starry sky.

"The wealth you got from the silver heart is so rich!" Captain Plank looked envious and jealous, hiding his scrutinizing gaze in his rich expression.

"...Yes, I originally thought this was a gift from the spirit of the universe, but I never thought that all gifts had secretly marked their prices. That should have been the end of my dream." She looked behind her. In the direction of the Dawn Star Territory, he looked at the mottled starlight ahead: "And now, it is time to find a new starting point."

There was an almost dead silence in her words, but there seemed to be a kind of extreme madness hidden in her words, like a supernova that was still in silence.

Captain Plank's little heart jumped up again. "Firefire" and "Lingyu", why haven't you arrived yet? Didn’t you agree to come over to support me? The symptoms of this crazy woman have become more and more serious recently. If she really goes crazy, I really can't hold it back.

Fortunately, at this time, Miss Fantine's slightly excited voice also sounded.

"Great, we caught the signal from the gravity well."

A moment of hesitation flashed across Captain Plank's eyes again, but after taking a deep breath, he still ordered: "Okay, the whole ship is ready to jump. Your Majesty, you also know the current virtue of the Nine Snakes. If it is torn apart by the gravity well, Don’t blame me if it breaks.”

"Then the gamble failed. Don't worry, I am a person who is willing to admit defeat." Tomitelli smiled: "When the time comes, so many people will accompany me on the road, so what else can I be dissatisfied with?"

What I mean is, if the ship is really torn apart, remember to use some magic weapons and ultimate moves to pick everyone up! Why do we have to go on the road together?

Captain Plank instantly turned pale. But if you still want to regret it at this time, it's absolutely too late.

The Nine Snake slowly broke into the whirlpool of the starry sky, like a jalopy that was about to fall apart on the highway, and it suddenly started racing.

By the time everyone on the boat recovered from their brief dizziness, they had arrived in a strange new world.

Miss Fantine, the first mate and navigator, quickly determined through the astroscope that this place is only 4.5 light years away from the end of the Dawn Passage where everyone was just now. In the universe, these are two very close star systems.

However, what she really couldn't understand was why no one discovered two galaxies so close to each other during the year-long exploration.

She immediately thought of the starry sky that covered the entire Dawn Galaxy, and she suddenly realized.

Of course, this is an ordinary galaxy. One orange-red young adult planet, eight planets. If nothing else happens, there should be two or three Earth-like planets in the inner ring that are valuable for transformation. The only difference is that between the orbits of the fifth and fourth planets, there is a large, extremely dense icy asteroid belt.

...Okay, it can be considered a valuable galaxy. If everyone were ordinary adventurers, this discovery would be enough to keep the whole ship occupied for more than ten years.

"That way." Tomitelli Khan pointed to the ice crystal asteroid belt. The silver light there was brilliant, like a necklace surrounding the lonely space of the star system.

"Your Majesty, now that we have reached this point, you should tell me what it is, right?"

"I don't know." Tomitelli Khan shrugged seriously.

"Hey...hey~~~hey!!"

"Don't be so excited. On the star map I got, there was just a skull drawn here, and it was labeled 'White Devil' or something."

Plank did not expect that the star map of the Enlightened One would also use such a down-to-earth setting as a skull. But the more this happened, the more terrified he felt.

"Hahaha, I can probably guess what it is. Captain, have you heard of the legend of the ghost dreadnought in the Abyss Nebula?"

How did you connect the White Demon to the Wraith Dreadnought? Plank didn't know why, but he still said: "That thing is the most terrifying legend in the Abyss Nebula. It is much scarier than some space alien species, some star-eating giant monster, or any ancient city."

Having said this, the pirate captain couldn't help but shuddered: "I have already said that I hate this kind of legend the most."

"Don't worry, as long as the conditions are met, he can be controlled by me. At least within a certain period of time." The Great Khan smiled.

On the other hand, First Officer Fantine had regained some composure and said coldly with his hands folded: "Then, what's the price? Khan?"

"Besides, even if you get that ancient...well, ancient weapon, do you think you can get revenge?"

You were given an ancient fortress and a prosperous star field that had been transformed by the ancients. Didn't you also end up in this field?

"So, we still need to wait." Khan said: "While waiting for your organization's support, we also need to wait for the world to be more lively."

The captain and first mate exchanged a look.

"Also, let me reiterate again, it's not revenge, it's tempering!"
