  Chapter 533 Old Acquaintance

   "I didn't expect that I would go to Antarctica..."

  Standing on the airship field, looking at the huge airship in front of her, Mary felt that everything in front of her was not like reality.

  Suddenly, Professor Palmer of the History Department invited himself to participate in his research meeting.

  Suddenly, Professor Palmer said that he would go to Antarctica for research.

  Suddenly, he planned to take himself with him.

   It wasn't until she learned what had happened from Duan Muhuai that Mary finally understood what had happened.

  To be honest, after calculating the cost of this investigation, Mary couldn't help but feel trembling.

  It was not because of excitement or fear, but simply because of the huge amount... That was an astronomical figure that Mary, a middle-class woman, could never imagine in her entire life.

  Not to mention, Duanmu Huai is not the kind of person who wants to endure hardships, so their voyage is also extremely luxurious according to the arrangement. First, take an airship from Fog to Tierra del Fuego, and then take a boat from Tierra del Fuego to Antarctica. Of course, the deployment facilities have been deployed in place.

  Actually, if possible, Duanmu Huai would like to go directly to Antarctica by airship.

   On the one hand, it is because of convenience, on the other hand... well, do you guys know where Raliyah is?

   Lalaiye is located at 47 degrees 9 minutes south latitude and 126 degrees 43 minutes west longitude... yes, it is just west of Tierra del Fuego.

  Maybe it’s time to turn a corner and have a seafood barbecue with Cthulhu.

  Although Duanmuhuai is not afraid of Cthulhu, he doesn't want to let himself smell like fish, doesn't he?

  Unfortunately, given the climate conditions in Antarctica, the plane is okay, but the airship is a bit difficult. So Duanmu Huai had no choice but to take a boat from Tierra del Fuego to Antarctic Island, hoping that Cthulhu would not be stupid to come and trouble him.

   "Thank you so much, Mr. Duanmu."

  Professor Palmer was also flushed with excitement at the moment, holding Duanmuhuai's hands tightly. It’s good to have a rich and not afraid to spend money. If it’s public funds, let alone take the airship, they have to take the worst third-class cabin. After all, public funds are limited. In this kind of inspection, Naturally, it is necessary to break a penny into two halves. In terms of daily life and transportation, it is natural to save as much as possible. It is not like Duanmu Huai, who directly bought an airship with a wave of his hand. Such a comfortable inspection, a few more times Palmer won't be tired.

   And right now is the best time to go to Antarctica. Although other places are about to enter winter at this moment, Antarctica is just in summer, and the daylight hours are the longest. Although airships are not as fast as airplanes, they are also much faster than ships. Taking advantage of this opportunity, maybe my expedition team can grab a starting line and occupy a good position!

  Although most people are happy, there are exceptions.

  Like Lorena.

   "Hey? It's an airship again, so there won't be another accident..."

   "Miss Lorena? What's your name?"

  Seeing that the girl who was always smiling now had a bitter face, Mary also asked curiously, and Miss Lorena also sighed.

   "Because when Sir Knight and I came to Wudu by airship, there was a murder of a cultist on the airship... It was tiring."

   "Hey?! Kill, murder incident???"

  Hearing this, Mary was also taken aback. After all, she had only seen this kind of thing in mystery novels, so she had never heard of it in reality!

   "No, but don't worry, Miss Lorena, Mr. Duanmu has chartered this airship this time, and there are no outsiders except us..."

   "The murderer last time was the doctor on the airship."

  “…………”

  Hearing this, Mary had nothing to say, but Duanmuhuai walked over and patted Lorena on the head.

   "Okay, don't worry, Lorena, I assure you, it will be fine this time."

"Why?"

   Soon, Lorena understood why Duanmu Huai said that she must be fine this time.

  Because what he chartered this time was the "Full Moon and Stars" they took when they came...

   "Because of the murder incident, the business of this airship has not been very good recently. I thought the price was cheap, so I simply rented it."

  “…………”

  Looking at the airship in front of her, Lorena was speechless.

   Is there such an operation? ? ?

So Lorena finally figured out why Duanmuhuai was so confident. The crew on this ship had been interrogated by Duanmuhuai before. Except for the ship doctor, everyone else was innocent, which meant that they should not Problem again. But... my lord knight, isn't it a bit too much for you to stroke a sheep back and forth like this?

  Although Lorena was helpless, Duanmuhuai didn't care at all, and he even introduced it to Mary.

"Look, it's here, this smoking room, where the victim was killed at that time, and a strange magic circle was drawn with his blood, and profane runes are everywhere on the walls... oh , it seems to be cleaned up now..."

  Hearing this, Mary's face turned pale. She looked at the smoking room as if she was looking at the entrance of hell, and even subconsciously took two steps back.

   "By the way, which one do you plan to live in?"

   "Please be sure to arrange me in a room away from here, thank you..."

  While talking, everyone walked through the corridor and came to the viewing platform, where the captain was waiting for their arrival. Seeing Duanmuhuai, the captain also showed a warm smile and saluted Duanmuhuai.

   "It's been a long time, sir, you are still the same as before."

   "It's okay, but you don't look very good."

   "Hey, there is no way..."

   Facing Duanmuhuai's ridicule, the captain smiled wryly. The previous killing incidents did bring them a lot of trouble, simple killings are fine, but the problem is that the cultists killed people, so that there were endless rumors about the "Full Moon and Stars" at the port pier, what? The soul of the man who was slain is trapped by evil magic and is still wandering in the cabin, ready to take other people's souls or something...

   Those who can take an airship are those who don’t want to wrong themselves, and of course they don’t want to take an unlucky airship. Therefore, the "Full Moon and Stars" has been operating poorly in the past few months. Even the captain was a little disheartened, and wanted to simply transfer the airship—even if it was transferred, no one wanted it.

  At this time, Duanmuhuai saw the news and contacted the captain. The captain will naturally not forget the benefactor who saved himself and others from the fire and water. If it wasn't for Duanmuhuai and Lorena's actions, they would have been buried in the sea with the airship long ago, let alone come back alive, so they naturally agreed.

   Anyway, there is no business now, so it is a good thing to be able to open.

  The captain has decided that after this business is over, he will change the name of the Full Moon and Stars, otherwise it will be very difficult for him to receive guests in his life.
