Chapter 37

I sat on the motorcycle, the sound of the wind getting louder, indicating that the aircraft carrier was accelerating.

"Why haven't we arrived yet? This ascent of the claws is so slow." Zi Sirou clapped her hands so hard that they were tired. It's true that I also feel that the ascent speed is a bit slow.

Guffy looked down from above, and it was already chaotic down there.

"Qin Yang, what benefit do we gain from exposing the mask of the humble ones to us?"

"On the surface, the humble ones are just a group of people who pretend to be strong to divert the grievances of others and lead us into the pyramid. The deeper meaning is that once the true face of the humble ones is exposed, it will not only shake the position of the humble ones, but also the position of Emojia."

"Oh~~ So you mean if Emojia lacks strategic figures like the humble ones, they need to find another strategic weapon or magic."

"Sooner or later, Emojia will come looking for us, what they want is the technology of 'L' particles."

"Are you sure they will definitely do that? 'L' particles are not all-powerful."

"But they have the most mysterious and diverse possibilities. Who would have thought what the particles would become in anyone's hands? Who wouldn't want that?"

Zi Sirou interrupted and said, "Are the humble ones so easily abandoned by Emojia? After all, their position here is deeply rooted."

"Don't worry, the humble ones of the past may really live up to the name of 'humble', but now, there must be grievances among the people, and they will soon erupt. If Emojia continues to treat the humble ones as their trump card, they will be laughed at by other countries. Because their strength has nothing to do with themselves, except for the little magic that drives the masks, they don't spend any magic. And 'L' particles were also rejected by the students of the academy at the beginning, for the same reason. But the strength of the particles is still closely related to themselves."

"Tsk, even if it's embarrassing, they will bring out the humble ones at the most critical moment for the country. I don't believe they will consider so much."

"Siro, at least they won't prioritize the humble ones. Let's see how the development goes and continue to observe."

The people below were in chaos, and I, black Qin Yang, couldn't just sit still. I'm not responsible for considering the aftermath, but causing chaos is the Demon Dragon's expertise.

"Hey! Finally, we're inside the aircraft carrier."

The claws brought us into the aircraft carrier. There was no one inside the aircraft carrier, and it was very new.

"Why is there no one?" I looked around, and the claws put us in the weapons storage. When we came out of the storage, we walked all the way and didn't see a single person.

"It's normal for a new aircraft carrier to have no people. Look, these construction materials haven't been cleaned up in time. It should have just been completed, and I'm afraid it hasn't had time for testing before setting sail." Guffy stood in front of a pile of waste materials that were taller than humans. Judging from the scene, the construction personnel evacuated in a hurry, and there were far less remnants than these.

"Go to the bridge and see who's commanding."

"Without anyone to lead the way, it's difficult to reach the bridge. There should be an onboard communication system inside the aircraft carrier. Let's find it."

The enormity of the aircraft carrier was obvious, and if you're not familiar with the structure inside the aircraft carrier, it's really hard to find the bridge.

I gently tapped on the smooth armored plate in the storage, and the imperial emblem appeared on the plate, emitting a beautiful electronic woman's voice.

"I am the autonomous assistance system of the aircraft carrier - Cai Lai. Please state your request."

"Internal communication."

"Initialization of 'internal communication' failed. Please select another request."

"I'm glad the people below didn't decide to attack us, or else I don't know if this new aircraft carrier can even fight," Zi Sirou shook her head, genuinely worried about the combat capability of the carrier.

"The Sky Carrier's weapon system is functioning normally, the 'Golden Bell' defense system is operating normally, with an output power of ten."

"Ten output? Is that normal too?"

"Siro, the 'Golden Bell' output power of ten is the energy-saving capability, although it cannot produce rebound damage, its protective performance is sufficient."

When Situ Liyao used the 'Golden Bell' output, it should have been eighty, still not at full power, but she had dual 'Golden Bell' defense and a very small body size, so the effects were amazing.

"The Sky Carrier, this name is much better than the one my father gave to the Fallen King squad, it sounds like he came up with it," Zi Sirou remarked.

"Cai Lai, can you give me the carrier map?"

"The carrier map requires identity authentication. Please wait for identity authentication."

Before we even had a chance to react, the map appeared on the wall.

"You're telling me what identity verification it did, and yet it gave me the map."

To our surprise, the assistant system Cai Lai immediately responded, "Sky Carrier's Vice Captain - Guffy."

"I found that it's quite good at interrupting, and since when did Guffy become the Vice Captain," I chuckled.

"This system is perfect, it knows everything and tells everything."

"It even uses idioms. Did the designers put the whole dictionary in it or something!"

"It collects more vocabulary than you have in your brain. Don't be surprised," Zi Sirou looked at the map carefully and was the first to walk out, talking as she walked.

"Ever since Magic appeared, it seems that artificial intelligence hasn't been used for a long time. It's really rare."

After walking for more than ten minutes, we finally saw the elevator to the command bridge. Until the door opened, we had no idea who was inside.

"By the way, the Principal's vice captain identity should have already been recorded, they wouldn't really make the Principal take on this role, what about the academy?" Zi Sirou suddenly asked.

"Until I receive the official documents, I am still the Principal of the academy."

"How can the Principal, who is a teacher, be given a military position?"

Guffy just smiled and walked into the elevator. Zi Sirou didn't know that the former Guffy was an adventurer working for the Empire. In order to guarantee her military status given by the Empire, she was sent to help the Empire find the secrets of Magic in other countries, including stealing the secret of "Floating Smoke."

"Why isn't the Principal answering?" Zi Sirou leaned against me and asked.

"Not everything is something you need to know the truth about!"

"I feel uncomfortable not knowing! It feels like ants are biting me! Wuuu..."

Ah, the curiosity of journalists is really something.

The elevator door opened, and the first thing we saw was a figure, a silhouette in black boots, very stylishly dressed, and wearing a waistcoat, a tall and imposing figure that seemed to be in control of everything.

"Is this the captain?"

"Based on his appearance... most likely."

Guffy glanced at this figure and suddenly looked at me and said, "Don't you recognize her?"

"Hmm?" I carefully looked at this figure and it seemed very familiar, as if I hadn't seen her in a while, and I inexplicably found her very attractive.

"No, there's only one 'man' who I find attractive."

"Qin Yang, did you happen to walk into the bathroom on the day we left?" This figure turned her head, and her profile in the sunlight was truly familiar.

"Qin Ying, it's you again, the cross-dressing fetish!"

"Minister of News, you can try it too." Qin Ying, dressed as a man but without disguising her appearance, approached Zi Sirou. Due to Qin Ying's height advantage, Zi Sirou had to lower her head to speak: "And my real name is Qin Ying, 'ying' as in 'profit'."

"It's the same pronunciation, is there a difference?"

"I... I suddenly remember that I need to use the restroom. You guys can chat first." I almost ignored the fact that Qin Ying's first sentence was asking if I had been in the bathroom before leaving. It wasn't appropriate to explain such things at this moment.

"The restroom is over there." Zi Sirou pointed to the prominently displayed restroom sign on the left side of the bridge, but I wanted to go in the direction of the elevator.

"Qin Yang, you were in the bathroom, right? Before you went to Emonia the day before."

"The bathroom? That day I went back to the Student Union Building. You can ask Si Rou if she got out of bed at the Duke's mansion the next day."

"I saw you at the Duke's mansion the next day, but I didn't mention that you didn't go back to the Student Union Building the day before." Zi Sirou honestly revealed the truth.

"Um..."

"That night, before ten o'clock, Qin Yang was with me in the Principal's office." Guffy resolved the situation with one sentence, and the tone was so decisive and unquestionable.

"But..."

"Can you introduce the situation of the aircraft carrier? Captain Qin Ying." Guffy immediately redirected the conversation to where it should be.

Qin Ying briefly described the situation of the Celestial Aircraft Carrier: a 2,400-meter-long carrier equipped with the latest Magic framework main cannon, capable of precisely destroying targets within a range of 100 kilometers, combined with the "Golden Bell" defense system, which is currently the top defense system for all of humanity. However, its attack power is first-class but not the strongest. In the eastern part of Othrie Empire, a large country on the other side of the ocean, there is a main cannon carrier that is truly the strongest in the Human Realm, with a range of 120 kilometers and superior destructive power. But Othrie will catch up sooner or later because they have the founder of the Magic framework, the Demon Dragon. The reason the current framework main cannons have a range of only a little over 100 kilometers is simply due to energy limitations. Humans still can't extract enough energy from the various magical crystal sources in the Human Realm to support longer attack ranges. Once this problem is solved, it will be possible to switch main cannon modes freely like "Floating Smoke" and have an infinite attack range.

"As the heir of Duke Qin, I am responsible for this aircraft carrier. It was completed just this morning, and the first mission was to come here and bring you back. As you can see, the personnel here are just enough to operate and pilot the aircraft carrier. The Shang Wang team was not assigned here, and the only weapon is the main cannon. However, there's no need to use the main cannon for now, so we circling invisibly in the air for a long time to find an opportunity to bring you back."

"Why were you so clever, Qin Ying, to cross the border to Emonia on your first voyage to save people?"

"It was the news from Qingxue. She messaged me yesterday, explaining your situation in Emonia and the obstruction from the military was inevitable."

"Yu Yuanqing!" Hearing that it was news from Qingxue, my whole body trembled.

"Interim President, did you call for me?" Qingxue's voice appeared behind us. She emerged from the elevator and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "Don't expose me. What the Student Union needs most now is stability of morale. You should understand that."

If Qing, my classmate, were to be exposed in the student council, the already disheartened morale of the student council in Elena's matter would completely collapse, leaving no choice but to keep this secret.
