Although the tone of the man was respectful, it was still filled with vigilance.
“I’m a newly recruited students of the Great Wall University. On our way there, we encountered an attack from an alien race and was forced to flee in all directions. In the end, I lost my way. I want to know how to get to the Great Wall University.” Feng Lin calmly spoke.
“Any proof?” The muscular man’s expression relaxed a little, but he didn’t completely let his guard down.
Feng Lin made a series of motions in the air and pa.s.sed the certificate of recruitment over.
After seeing the certificate, a smile instantly appeared on the muscular man’s face. “So it’s a genius student from the Great Wall University. No wonder you helped us. This place is the region at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. Since you are human, we are all brothers!”
“You are too polite!” Feng Lin laughed warmly, but he also maintained a distance from this man.
“Please come and be a guest of our flying shuttle, let us convey our grat.i.tude with our actions.” After learning about Feng Lin’s ident.i.ty, the muscular man completely relaxed his vigilance and became very pa.s.sionate.
Feng Lin was astonished. The ident.i.ty as a student from the Great Wall University was actually so good to use!
It was like a golden rice bowl. As long as he reported his ident.i.ty, he could go to places in interstellar s.p.a.ce with no fear at all.
“It’s fine. Can you just let me know the way to the Great Wall University?” Although this man was very pa.s.sionate, Feng Lin didn’t let down his guard.
“This…” The man instantly hesitated after hearing this request.
“What’s wrong?” Feng Lin frowned as his expression grew unsightly.
No matter who it was, if they saved an ingrate, they naturally wouldn’t feel happy.
“In truth, we also have no idea where the Great Wall University is.” Seeing that he was being misunderstood, the muscular man hurriedly explained, “The Great Wall University is the first line of defense for humanity. They defend against alien races and guard the safety of mankind. Their location is an absolute secret, how could people who are not from the university know where they are?”
“But seeing that you people are active around the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy, it’s impossible for you not to have a connection with the Great Wall University, right? How do you contact them?” With regards to the muscular man’s explanation, Feng Lin declined to comment on that.
“We depended on the navigation equipment.” The muscular man didn’t conceal things. He sent over a holographic projection. The image showed a crystal ball with an arrow on it. The arrow was like the needle on a compa.s.s, and it kept spinning around constantly like a mix of science and magic.
Feng Lin didn’t understand what this was.
Given the technology of this tattered-looking s.h.i.+p, it was impossible for them to create such a thing.
“In truth, we are a transport s.h.i.+p that helps the Great Wall University to deliver minerals and cultivation resources. This navigation apparatus is something the Great Wall University created. They gave one to us and we have to depend on this to contact them. But strangely, the coordinates of the Great Wall University are different every time. Only this navigation device can point out the correct direction.” The muscular man had a bitter smile on his face.
So this was the case.
Feng Lin nodded. The words of this man didn’t seem to be false.
From this apparatus, he couldn’t help but guess that the coordinates of the Great Wall University weren’t fixed. They maintained a moving state so it was easier for them to act at any time. Only then would they be able to maintain the highest level of secrecy.
“This apparatus…” His heart stirred.
The muscular man immediately felt that he was put into a spot.
“We only have a single one in our flying shuttle!”
The muscular man’s meaning was clear.
Feng Lin was also tactful enough and didn’t continue to try persuading him.
If they gave him the apparatus, this group of people would definitely become the one lost in outer s.p.a.ce.
“Friend, if you wish to go to the Great Wall University, there’s no need for you to be in a rush. According to the indication by the navigation apparatus, we will reach there in one week. Wouldn’t you be able to reach there too if you just follow our shuttle?” suggested the muscular man.
(Seems like this was the only way.)
Feng Lin nodded.
“Alright! Friend, you can park your flying shuttle inside ours. You saved our lives, if we don’t thank you, we would truly feel bad.” The muscular man pa.s.sionately invited.
Feng Lin’s eyes flashed as he surveyed this man. He discovered that although he was very muscular, the transcendence waves from his body weren’t strong. At most, he was just an interstellar cultivator, he wasn’t even an elite cultivator.
Even if he entered their shuttle, there was nothing for him to fear.
In any case, if they tried something funny, Feng Lin had the confidence that he could instantly kill them all.
“Sure.”
He agreed to travel together with them. It wasn’t a bad idea to know more about the origins of these people.
Upon seeing that he had agreed, the muscular man laughed. “Welcome to our Gypsy Fleet!”
The bottom of the giant shuttle opened, revealing an internal landing module.
The Flowerfruit Mountain entered and parked within.
Feng Lin walked out and down the parking lot as a group of people in uniform came over to welcome him.
The person in the lead was the muscular man, and there was a young woman in bright dress beside him. Although she was young, she exuded immense charm. Colorful pendants hung all over her. As she walked, her waist was like a watersnake, swaying left and right. It was very mesmerizing.
A gypsy?
This cla.s.sic way of dressing instantly caused Feng Lin to think back to the extremely famous roaming race in the Ancient Earth Era.
It seemed that even in the Interstellar Era, they also took everywhere as their homes. They didn’t exist in a single fixed location and set up camps to trade with people wherever they went. In fact, under special circ.u.mstances, they didn’t mind doing unlawful things either.
The Gypsy was a race whose name wasn’t too good. Who could have thought that he would actually run into them here?
Feng Lin was silently on his guard.
“Feng Lin, hi! I’m the captain of the Gypsy Fleet, my name is Enke. We greatly welcome you. You really saved our a.s.ses! Come, let us give you some of the spoils from the earlier battle.” The muscular man, Enke, pa.s.sionately welcomed Feng Lin and led him into the depths of the shuttle.
RUMBLE~
The sounds of machinery rang out.
Feng Lin could see many robotic claws bringing out the wreckage of those steam-powered shuttles from earlier. Inside the shuttles, small green-skinned humanoid bodies could be found.
These green-skinned monsters were as short as dwarves. However, their skin was wrinkled and looked extremely ugly; they even had a long nose and a stooped body.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they were bipedal creatures, one might even mistake them for green-skinned dogs!
“These s.p.a.ce goblins are all bandits, how detestable,” the muscular man cursed. It was none other than these green-skinned monsters that caused so much damage to their flying shuttle. Under his anger, he went over and stomped the corpse a few times.
“Green-skinned goblins?” Feng Lin’s heart stirred. Wasn’t goblin a sort of monster from western mythology of Ancient Earth?
(Do they have relations with these s.p.a.ce goblins?)
“They can be considered an aboriginal race of the Milky Way Galaxy, and they used to be from Earth. They have the ability of mystifying metals and using ancient steam technology to travel s.p.a.ce. However, they can’t compare to the peak technologies of humanity no matter what. Their civilization was destroyed and they were forced to relocate to this region of red dwarves. These goblins have terrifying reproduction capabilities like c.o.c.kroaches. It doesn’t matter how many of them you kill, you won’t be able to kill them all. Ah, one more thing… they would often form groups to rob people who pa.s.sed by here. Hmmph, they are very disgusting and extremely despicable,” explained the young woman.
Feng Lin nodded as he pondered in his heart.
When ancient civilizations on Earth were developed to its peak 10,000 years ago, they had already begun to explore the starry s.p.a.ce.
Maybe those monsters in the mythologies truly existed. They had been seen by the ancient cultivators, which sp.a.w.ned countless myths and legends about them.
At this moment, these gypsies were currently handling these spoils of war.
The young woman looked bored. Her bright eyes looked around and would frequently glance at Feng Lin, flickering with curiosity.
“Yes, is something the matter?” Feng Lin smiled.
“How about it? Do you want me to divine your fate?” The young woman’s eyes gleamed as she suddenly spoke.
“What?” Feng Lin was astonished.
“Remember this, I’m Witch Sally of the Gypsy Race. In order to repay you from saving my people, I can help you divine your future for free, but just once.” Sally smiled. After that, she pulled out a bunch of cards with mysterious patterns inscribed on them.
Were these…tarot cards?
