Chapter 719: Getting the News
The post station chief was frowning. No matter who died last night, he would be punished. It was his fault that something happened in the post station he managed. As for the investigation, what the hell is there to investigate! In this kind of thing, if you get involved in a conspiracy, you don’t know how you will die, and you may also implicate your family. Especially that little girl is not an ordinary person. It’s really a fight between elephants and ants...
In this world, death is very common and it’s not a big deal at all. The post station chief informed the nearest head of the police and continued his work. Unlike on Earth, when someone dies, everyone will watch, take pictures, and be shocked. In the ancient feudal era, the death of a person is not as big a deal as the death of a horse.
"Thank you all for last night. I would like to thank you here. I wonder where you guys want to go in the future. How about staying with our little princess?" At the dinner table, the old eunuch Liu Yuan said to the four death scorpions with a smile. The look in his eyes and the shrill voice made Wang Er shiver all over.
The old eunuch Liu Yuan meant to recruit the four Death Scorpions. If he knew that these four guys belonged to the Mechanical Empire, he probably wouldn't have come up to say these things. The four Death Scorpions were not interested in being thugs for others. Escorting is escorting, and one thing is one thing. This way, we can ensure that people are sent to the Imperial City safely. As for whether they fail to seize power and are captured or succeed in reaching the pinnacle of power in the Imperial City in the future, it doesn't matter. It's just a human country on a planet. Even if four guys are allowed to be emperors, it doesn't make much sense. The Mechanical Empire is rampant in the universe and has a much wider vision than these ancient people.
"Stay with you? No, no, we still have to continue to do big things." The four Transformers were too lazy to talk, and this was when Wang Er's usefulness was reflected.
"Big things? I don't know what they are?"
In the eyes of the old eunuch, the only big thing is the struggle for power, and everything else is a small thing. Could it be that these four guys want to seize the imperial power? Unconsciously, the old eunuch became wary of the five strong men.
"Ahem~ We are here to look for fallen stars from the sky, the big ones, dragging fireballs down, that's our big thing!" Wang Er said solemnly while eating meat. Yes, the four Death Scorpions are indeed here to search for fallen meteors, because it's possible that they are the lost Transformers companions, and now it is very necessary to find the lost companions and reunite under the Creator.
"Falling stars? Let me think about it..."
The old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it's not stealing the imperial power, it doesn't matter whether you look for stars or the moon. There are still people who want to find meteorites these days. The young are really formidable. Turning his head around, the old eunuch Liu Yuan seemed to remember the legends that many people had spread. Anyway, it didn't happen in Yan State at that time, and the specific situation was unknown, so it didn't matter to tell the five of them.
"According to rumors, a few decades ago, a large star passed over the central part of Shenwu Continent, and finally went straight to the north and disappeared. That day seemed to be the Moon Appreciation Festival. This news is known to the whole world." Liu Yuan said slowly, touching the white hair on his cheek.
The four Death Scorpions looked at each other. It seemed that decades ago, it was the time when they failed in the space folding experiment on the spacecraft. The big star that fell was probably a Transformer! Otherwise, ordinary meteorites would have been burned to ashes by the friction of falling instead of flying all the way to the northern region. It seems necessary to search in the north.
"North? Which country?" Dart asked the old eunuch.
"It seems to be near Ao... Ao country, but..." The old eunuch frowned slightly as if he remembered something.
"But what?"
"It is said that a big thing happened in Ao country about a year ago. At that time, someone went to the palace to make trouble and fight, and finally accidentally woke up a sleeping giant iron man in the glacier. That..." Before Liu Yuan finished speaking.
Swish! Four strong men appeared beside Liu Yuan and stared at the old eunuch.
"Hurry up!" Tiejia couldn't help but the old eunuch's slow speaking speed. The giant iron man, isn't this a Transformer! In the universe, there are no giant iron men except the mechanical empire transformers. I didn't expect that the big star was caused by the fall of the transformers. The four transformers who learned the news of their companions were a little excited, which scared the old eunuch who was surrounded in the middle.
Death Scorpion stretched out his hand to stop the three companions, staring at the old eunuch. Death Scorpion swore that if this old guy dared not to make it clear, he would simply copy the contents of his brain today, even if he became a fool!
The old eunuch instantly found a hint of threat and murderous intent in the eyes of the four guys. Even a master like himself could not bear that murderous intent. There is no doubt that if he didn't make it clear today, these four guys would kill him without those assassins. For the safety of the little princess, the old eunuch had to finish his words quickly.
"That Iron Man disappeared after killing a flying monk... No one has ever seen him again... Many people in Shenwu Continent know this rumor..."
Then the old eunuch and Wang Er saw these four ferocious guys sitting there motionless, and they had no idea what was going on with these four people. In fact, the four Death Scorpion guys were using the communicator to discuss. In a short moment, the computer transmitted a lot of content and plans to each other. It didn't take long, but it was actually much more than what humans discussed in a week-long meeting. The data transmission was incredibly fast.
Afterwards, the four guys continued to escort the little princess to the north as if nothing had happened, and did not show any abnormality. If the old eunuch had a radio monitoring device, he would have found that the four guys were constantly sending long-wave signals, which were about contacting the Transformers who had come to the Shenwu Continent.
The four Death Scorpions discussed and thought that it had been so long anyway, and with the Transformers' ability to travel, they had already gone somewhere long ago. Instead of rushing to the north, it would be better to send signals while traveling. Besides, there were many powerful monks in this world, so it was not wrong to be cautious. Only after gathering more Transformers would it be time to completely break off with this world. What needed to be done now was to hide.
Wang Er was startled. When these four scary guys descended, they were like stars. Now there was one more. This world was really dangerous... The people he met on the road might not be human! Thinking of this, Wang Er looked carefully at the chest of a woman in the passing caravan and rolled his eyes.
The old eunuch originally thought that these four guys would just leave, but fortunately, they just asked once and never mentioned the matter again. No matter what, as long as the little princess was escorted to the imperial city safely, it would be fine. Now, apart from these four people, I'm afraid no one can be trusted. As for the imperial city... I hope it will be safe.
