Chapter 1700: Chapter 542: First Aid (6k)
"No wonder, Fan Mao, you’re so furious, but well done, you actually took out the inventor of those ’Sequence Divine Envoys’.
Heh, now even if those believers continue their research, the research speed will definitely slow down significantly.
This has eliminated one of our concerns this time..."
Returning to the flagship, as usual, he reported the insect swarm capture this time, and the Emperor specifically inquired about the sudden action just now.
Upon hearing Bai Yi mention that it was because of discovering the culprit who imitated her Tree-man, the inventor who researched the ’Sequence Divine Envoy’, she suddenly lashed out.
For a moment, he didn’t know whether to feel happy or unhappy, so he could only smile to cover his emotions and replied.
To say that eliminating the inventor of the ’Sequence Divine Envoy’ is definitely a good thing for the Gemini Empire, even for the Three Great Civilizations.
But at the same time, considering Fan Mao’s attitude toward the believer who imitated the Tree-man, and thinking about their own research, it suddenly felt a bit tricky.
The ’Angel Mechanical’ they are researching will have to be promoted sooner or later, and Fan Mao could not possibly fail to see that those ’Angel Mechanicals’ bear traces of the Tree-man.
Now, the more aggressive Fan Mao’s attitude towards the believer who researched the ’Sequence Divine Envoy’, the more it means they will have to face the same attitude.
Once Fan Mao discovers they are also secretly researching, it will take more effort to appease her.
Compensating resources is a small matter, but fear that some resources won’t mend the rift in relationships.
Although he also felt that Fan Mao’s potential threat is now comparable to the former Great Mage and that she might eventually follow the same path, gradually distancing herself from the Gemini Empire and becoming a hidden danger.
But now it’s still early, and he does not wish for the Gemini Empire to be the side pushing Fan Mao away proactively.
It cannot wait until the time comes to promote the ’Angel Mechanical’ to handle it; plans must be made in advance.
The Emperor flashed a hint of decision and continued to supplement with a smile:
"The Empire will record an additional contribution to Fan Mao for this operation.
Take it as a compensation for Fan Mao in resolving that inventor and relieving our worry, how about that?"
"Of course, then thank you, Your Majesty."
Bai Yi raised an eyebrow, realizing that it was her sudden whim a moment ago that she deliberately fueled hatred against that believer.
And facing such unexpected gains, she certainly had no reason to refuse.
"If there’s nothing else, then I’ll go back to focusing on researching those Insect Clan."
Disconnecting from communication, Bai Yi secretly let out a sigh of relief, revealing a heartfelt smile once more.
Now that the last to-do item is complete, she can finally go back to tally her most important gains this time!
The believer she captured this time is still stored within her Space, accompanying those Insect Clan.
Hastily returning to her warship, Bai Yi didn’t release the person immediately but went directly to an empty cabin at the rear, where a huge metal ring, the Teleportation Gate, was already prepared.
Passing through more than ten teleportation gates consecutively, it was a land filled with a particularly rich vitality, densely populated with towering giant trees and giant mushrooms.
This, after all, was a believer from the Church and a particularly special high-tier believer at that.
If she brought him directly back to the warship, who knows if the Church has any means of sensing their believers?
Moreover, all Three Great Civilizations have means of detecting the Power of Faith within their core warships. If there are any high-tier believer alert devices targeting the fleet’s interior, Bai Yi wouldn’t be surprised.
She specifically went to the trouble of designing a ’fake death’ to keep things confidential, ensuring that neither the Three Great Civilizations nor the Church would suspect that this believer was alive or fell into her hands.
If you’re going to do it, do it to perfection, ensuring nothing could go wrong.
After all, with the teleportation gate’s transfer, the distance isn’t too far, so it’s safer to bring him directly back to her territory and block all perception through distance.
The teleportation gate closed completely behind her, and Bai Yi communicated with her Soul Armor.
In the eyes of everyone on the battlefield who saw the research director dying half an hour ago, he finally reappeared in the real world.
Not waiting for the spatial fluctuation of teleportation to completely dissipate, the research director, who was captured, first spoke with a voice full of curiosity:
"What exactly was that space just now? There could actually be living things existing in it, living normally; is it the legendary half-plane?
I only heard it mentioned in the believers’ tales of those Travelers, supposedly a power mastered after reaching the Seventh Rank!
Our research team had that Traveler believer elevated temporarily to the Seventh Rank but never mastered it, let alone truly experienced it..."
The research director’s tone changed from the emotionless machine-like demeanor before being captured to one filled with excitement and intense curiosity, like a child seeing a cherished toy.
But before finishing the sentence, the research director felt a dramatic change in the environment, pausing his voice.
Only then did he realize he had come to a completely unfamiliar place, his attention immediately drawn to the surroundings.
"Wait a minute, this is..."
The research director surveyed the vast sea of plants in the distance, his gaze gradually becoming dazed.
From the nearby low extraordinary plants to those giant trees and giant Fungus Umbrellas that seemed to merge with the terrain...
Her eyes ultimately landed on that majestic planetary-level giant tree that could be felt even from afar.
