False Court
Chapter 589 Return Voyage
After Su Mo moved the Gluttony mecha back to the hangar, he returned to his assigned rest room.
As he walked through the hall, he ran directly into Spader and Wen Luosi, who had just finished their meal.
"Greetings, Lord Spader."
Su Mo respectfully greeted him.
Spader was in a very good mood. He walked straight up to Su Mo, raised his thick, powerful hand, and patted him on the shoulder, praising him in a deep voice, "Well done, you've worked hard."
"Lord Spader, you flatter me."
Su Mo replied modestly.
"Just stating the facts. You probably haven't eaten yet, go grab some food and get some rest."
Spader instructed with concern.
"Yes, sir."
Su Mo replied respectfully.
Then Spader walked towards his room with a beaming smile.
Wen Luosi stood there smiling at Su Mo, then said to him, "You did a really great job this time, I didn't expect you to be able to crush that insectoid queen."
"Just lucky, it would have been difficult if the insectoid queen was any stronger."
Su Mo said with a wry smile. Don't think he fought so easily. In fact, he was also a bit desperate, going all out from the start, not giving the opponent any chance to breathe.
"It's a pity you weren't there. You didn't see the expressions of those officials from the Yanas Kingdom, all like they had swallowed a bitter gourd, unable to say a word for a long time. Especially Lady Beiluo, I guess her mood was like a stormy sea. I dare say that after this battle, the Yanas Kingdom will definitely be three points more polite to us."
Wen Luosi couldn't help but laugh.
"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? One battle shouldn't be enough, right? Actually, even without me, it's not impossible for them to solve this matter with their abilities."
"That's how reality is. The games between major powers are often reflected in these details. In short, you gave them all a good lesson this time."
"Okay."
Seeing Wen Luosi say this, Su Mo didn't argue anymore.
The next day, Spader met with Beiluo again alone.
Spader clearly felt that Beiluo's spirit was a little weak, probably didn't sleep well last night.
"I'm sorry! Lord Spader, I apologize for making you laugh at what happened last night."
"Lady Beiluo, you're too polite. Those are all minor matters. I came to see you this time to say goodbye. Thank you very much for your hospitality these past few days. But we still have a lot to do, so it's about time to return, and by the way, to finalize the agreement we reached before."
Spader said goodbye with a smile.
Beiluo didn't seem surprised at all by Spader's farewell, she had expected it long ago.
If it hadn't been for what happened last night, she probably would have gone along with it.
But now the situation has changed a bit, so Beiluo didn't agree immediately. She politely persuaded, "Lord Spader, you've only been here for a few days, there's no need to rush to leave, right? Wouldn't that make it seem like the Yanas Kingdom is not hospitable enough? When the king finds out, he will definitely blame me, and I won't be able to escape the blame."
"No, no, Lady Beiluo, you've been very hospitable. It's just that I have a lot of琐事缠身 (suo shi chan shen, be caught up in a lot of trifles) on my side, so I really can't stay any longer."
"How about this, Lord Spader, why don't you leave tomorrow? You're not in such a hurry that you can't spare this moment, right?"
"That's true, then okay."
Seeing Beiluo being so enthusiastic, Spader couldn't force her.
Seeing Spader agree, Beiluo smiled and said, "That's settled then. Oh, I almost forgot, I have something to tell Lord Spader."
"Oh? What is it?"
Spader couldn't help but narrow his eyes. If he remembered correctly, basically everything had been discussed, could it be that the other party had changed their mind temporarily?
"It's like this, I won't hide it from Lord Spader. Our fleet has received orders from the kingdom to go to other star seas to continue exploration and resource collection, so we don't plan to continue exploring the Kattivalo star system."
"That's really a pity!"
Spader said with regret, but he was actually overjoyed in his heart.
"It is indeed a pity. Although the resources in this star system are a bit difficult to find, they are actually quite rich. To be honest, I'm really a little reluctant to leave. And having your country as a companion, taking care of each other, is simply the best, but unfortunately, royal orders are hard to disobey!"
Beiluo began to mislead Spader without showing any emotion.
"Lady Beiluo, you don't need to be too sad, this world itself is full of regrets."
Spader said with a smile.
"Lord Spader is right. I discussed it with others yesterday. Anyway, we are about to leave here, and your country helped us last night, so we must thank you. Therefore, we decided to give this gift to your country."
Beiluo took out a small data disk and handed it to Spader.
"This is?"
Spader asked with his mouth, but his body very honestly took it.
"This is some data from our exploration of the Kattivalo star system, with many resource points we discovered marked on it, as well as areas where monsters appear. Anyway, it's useless to us, so we might as well give it to your country, I think it should be able to provide some help to your country."
Beiluo said very generously.
Of course, how could she really be so generous? Although all the resource coordinates on it are real, they have basically mined every coordinate point, just not completely, there are still some left, in short, it is tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.
So they might as well take it out to do a favor, and secondly, it can be used to mislead and delay Spader and the others. This is perfect, so they can take the opportunity to leave quickly and go to new star seas to mine new resources.
After hearing this, Spader said very gratefully, "Thank you so much, this information is very useful to us."
"It's a small matter. That, Lord Spader, I personally have some questions that I'm wondering about, I don't know if I can chat with you about them."
After finishing the business, Beiluo said to Spader in a relaxed tone.
"Lady Beiluo, please speak."
"Who was controlling your country's IV-generation biological mecha last night?"
"His name is Su Mo, he is a senior mecha operator in our Federation."
Spader replied without showing any emotion.
"Mr. Su Mo is so powerful, he should be considered one of the best in your country, right?"
Beiluo asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Spader also replied with a smile, "Lady Beiluo, you flatter me. Su Mo's strength is indeed not bad. But he can't be considered one of the best in our Federation, he's just okay."
Hearing Spader's words, Beiluo's heart suddenly became uncertain, she couldn't tell whether Spader's words were true or false at all.
But if it's true, then this matter is serious. But if it's false, Beiluo has no evidence.
Then Beiluo took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Your country really has a lot of talented people."
"Actually, it's okay, it's just that the mecha performance is slightly better."
Spader replied with a smile.
"Oh, then there's a question I don't know if I should ask."
"Please speak."
"Your country's mecha performance is so good, I wonder if you can bear to part with one and sell it to us?"
Beiluo couldn't help but have designs on the Gluttony mecha.
"This is a bit difficult for me, our top-level mechas are not for sale. Only the Speaker of the Dragon Cry Council can make the decision, I really can't help you."
"How about renting it? The price is negotiable."
Beiluo was still a little unwilling to give up. After what happened last night, she didn't sleep at all, her mind was full of the Gluttony mecha's battle scenes.
She is very sure that what she lacks most now is such a sharp knife.
So Beiluo was thinking of taking this opportunity to see if she could negotiate it. Although she also knew that the possibility was not high, she always had to try.
"I'm afraid that won't work, we ourselves are also short of mechas. But if we have any extra in the future, I will give you priority."
Of course, Spader wouldn't agree rashly.
"That's too bad."
Beiluo also had a very regretful expression.
.......
The next day, Su Mo and Wen Luosi followed behind Spader.
Spader and Beiluo and other officials of the Yanas Kingdom walked out of the small palace, chatting and laughing, and walked towards the main street.
Su Mo glanced at the main street in front of him, and a trace of surprise also appeared in his eyes. How long has it been?
The damaged areas of the main street have all been repaired, or at least covered up.
At this time, fully armed soldiers stood on both sides of the main street, like a guard of honor. Behind the soldiers, a large number of people gathered, waving flowers and colorful signs in their hands, very enthusiastically waving at Su Mo and the others.
"Goodbye!"
"Farewell, dear comrades!"
"Thank you."
.....
Spader also smiled and waved to the residents along the way. He said to Beiluo and the others.
"The people of your country are really enthusiastic!"
"The Yanas Kingdom has simple folk customs and has always been very clear about what they love and hate. They are very grateful to the comrades who have been kind to them. This is because the people heard that you were leaving, so they came to see you off on their own initiative, in order to thank you for your help in times of crisis."
Beiluo said very sincerely.
Su Mo, who was following behind, couldn't help but twitch his mouth as he listened to their conversation.
Although they did help, the news spread too quickly.
And there's something Su Mo was a little embarrassed to point out.
Among the people holding signs to see them off, there were a few who were still yawning, not paying attention at all.
But as the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling face, people have put on this farewell ceremony, which can be regarded as enough attention.
After a long time, under the welcome of Beiluo and others. Su Mo and the others came to the edge of the exit area, from here they could go directly to the bottom of Green Gore City and reach the giant parking area below.
At this moment, a familiar shout rang out.
"Brother Su Mo, Sister Wen Luosi!"
Su Mo and Wen Luosi subconsciously looked over.
Both of them were slightly stunned, and saw Mina, her grandfather, and a group of children standing at the edge of the crowd, waving and shouting at Su Mo and the others desperately.
Beiluo and Spader naturally saw this scene, and Beiluo gave a slight signal with her eyes.
The soldiers responsible for maintaining order naturally let Mina and the others in.
Mina and the others ran over happily.
Seeing this, Spader turned his head and smiled at Su Mo and Wen Luosi.
"You're about to leave, go say goodbye to your friends."
"Thank you, Lord Spader."
Su Mo and Wen Luosi thanked Spader, and then greeted them.
"Big Brother Su Mo."
Xiao Mila and Xiao Ruo innocently ran towards Su Mo.
"Good!"
Su Mo showed a heartfelt smile, squatted down and reached out to hug them.
"Big brother, can you not leave?"
The two asked Su Mo, raising their heads in childish voices.
"I'm sorry, big brother has to go home. But I promise, if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come to see you."
Su Mo replied very seriously.
"Okay."
Xiao Mila and Xiao Ruo nodded.
At this time, Mina's grandfather came over, coughed, and said to Su Mo, "Mr. Su Mo, thank you very much for your and Miss Wen Luosi's help to our family. I really don't have anything good to repay you with, this is a little local specialty we prepared, please be sure to accept it."
Saying that, Mina's grandfather handed Su Mo a plant-woven basket, with bottles of his own brewed fruit wine placed inside.
"You're too polite."
Su Mo quickly declined.
"Just accept it, this is specially prepared by my grandfather."
Mina said with a smile.
"Okay then."
Su Mo couldn't refuse.
"By the way, Big Brother Su Mo, you forgot something."
Mina said with a giggle.
"What's the matter?"
Su Mo replied a little inexplicably.
At this time, a rough voice rang out.
"Make way, make way!"
An Li and several others were seen pushing a portable trolley, with a lot of mechanical wreckage placed on the trolley.
In an instant, An Li and others became the focus of the audience.
Even Beiluo and Spader couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Su Mo touched his forehead and said with a wry smile.
"You're talking about these."
"Yes, Brother Su Mo, you like them so much, if you forget them, you'll regret it to death later."
Mina replied with a giggle.
"Why don't we forget about it, I thought about it, these things are your grandfather's treasures after all."
Su Mo said embarrassedly.
"No, they've already been sold to you, so I have to give them to you. Otherwise, I've taken so much money from you, I'd feel so bad."
Mina said loudly in a stubborn manner.
Mina's grandfather on the side also showed a helpless wry smile. He had actually seen that Su Mo just wanted to find an excuse to help her.
So he didn't come to take these things away when he was about to leave.
In fact, Mina's grandfather had also tried to persuade Mina, but she couldn't get over this hurdle.
So Mina's grandfather smiled wryly at Su Mo and said, "Mr. Su Mo, don't mind, Mina is the same character as her grandmother, she just can't get over it. Please accept this thing, so that this child can feel at ease."
Su Mo didn't know what to say, in fact, he didn't want to accept it, because bringing a bunch of things would seem very abrupt.
But now he carefully thought about it, it didn't seem like he couldn't accept it at all. Mina gave him the things in front of Spader and Beiluo.
He has been declining here for a long time, Spader and Beiluo will definitely not be suspicious.
Thinking of this, Su Mo finally agreed.
"Okay."
"That's right, I'm telling you, if you don't agree, Mina can be as stubborn as her grandmother, you won't be able to stand it. Wait a while, I'll help you send these things to your ship, you don't have to worry about the whole process."
An Li, who was pushing the things over, said cheerfully.
"Okay, by the way, is Mina's grandmother also on the ship? Why didn't I see her?"
Su Mo asked subconsciously.
As a result, as soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly solidified.
Mina couldn't help but lower her head, and Mina's grandfather also sighed.
An Li said in a low voice to Su Mo, "Mina's grandmother passed away more than two months ago due to the pain of losing her son."
Su Mo's expression froze, and he quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, that's all in the past."
Mina's grandfather squeezed out a smile and said, people will always leave, but life has to continue to move forward.
"Yes, yes."
Su Mo nodded in response.
....
At this time, Beiluo and Spader were watching Su Mo and Mina and others chatting.
"Actually, I think this world doesn't necessarily have to be spoken with fists, mutual communication and heart-to-heart exchanges are also good."
Beiluo said with a smile.
"Lady Beiluo is right, I believe the friendship between our two countries will be like the people below. It's getting late, we should leave."
Spader responded with a smile.
"Okay!"
Beiluo nodded.
Then Spader gestured to a subordinate behind him, and the subordinate walked over to Su Mo and Wen Luosi and whispered a sentence in their ears.
Then Su Mo and Wen Luosi waved goodbye to Mina and the others.
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye."
Mina replied with reddened eyes.
.....
After a long time, Su Mo and Wen Luosi returned to their respective mechas.
Spader then returned to the escort ship with his personnel.
Soon they embarked on the road back.
On the No. 1 lookout of Green Gore, Beiluo looked at the escort ship gradually moving away, her expression becoming more and more dignified.
"Lord Beiluo, the people from the Federation have gone far away."
A subordinate next to her said respectfully.
"I know, tell the people below to start preparing the things for the transaction, once the transaction is completed, we will leave this star system immediately."
Beiluo took a deep breath.
"Lord Beiluo, I feel like you're not very happy."
The subordinate next to her hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.
"We came in at the same time, but now we're a step behind them, do you think I can be happy?"
"But aren't they our allies?"
"Then you have to have a certain amount of capital before people will treat you as allies. When you're weak to a certain extent, who will be willing to take you with them? From today onwards, everyone should cheer up and step up training, we must speed up our pace."
Beiluo replied with great pressure.
"Yes!"
.....
---------------------------------------
Two days later, Su Mo drove the Gluttony mecha and followed the escort ship, successfully returning to the Black Tooth.
Inside the Black Tooth's hangar, Xiulis, Aubrey, and others were all standing neatly to welcome Spader's triumphant return.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation.
Since Lord Spader returned smoothly, it means the visit was very successful.
Maybe they will bring back all kinds of great news.
At this time, the cockpits of the Gluttony mecha and the Shadow of Light were opened first, and Su Mo and Wen Luosi jumped down.
"Boss!"
Sun Duoxiang shouted excitedly.
Su Mo turned his head and looked over.
He saw Sun Duoxiang, Qian Chengxue, Xiao Wen, and others waiting not far away.
So Su Mo turned to Wen Luosi and said, "Wen Luosi, I'll go over first."
"Go ahead, the mission is over."
Wen Luosi nodded.
Su Mo walked over very happily.
"Boss, you're finally back, these past few days we've been worried, afraid that something would happen to you over there."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just accompanying the envoy, what could happen."
Su Mo complained in annoyance.
"It's good that you came back safely, was this trip smooth?"
Qian Chengxue asked with concern.
"Very smooth, smoother than expected."
Su Mo replied very happily.
"If the boss says so, can we continue with the exploration mission?"
Sun Duoxiang's eyes lit up, and he asked a little impatiently, knowing that they had finally come to this star system with great interest.
Everyone was itching to do a big job, but they squatted in this godforsaken place for a long time.
"I don't know about this, I need to wait for Lord Spader's arrangement. But it shouldn't be long, what are you rushing for, just wait patiently."
Su Mo said with a smile.
"Boss, it's not just me who's anxious, everyone in the entire fleet is anxious. It's like you finally came to the mining area, but it turned out to be a dud."
Sun Duoxiang said with a wronged expression.
Just then, Zhang Hao, who was standing behind Sun Duoxiang, suddenly poked Sun Duoxiang with his arm.
"Brother Sun, don't say anymore."
"Why?"
Sun Duoxiang was slightly stunned.
"Lord Spader and the others are coming over."
Zhang Hao's legs were shaking.
Hearing Zhang Hao say this, Su Mo was also slightly startled, and subconsciously turned his head and looked over.
He saw Spader, after briefly talking with Aubrey and the others, actually walking towards him.
Seeing this, Xiulis and others were a little puzzled, but they all subconsciously followed.
For a time, Su Mo became the focus.
"Boss, you didn't do something again, did you?"
Sun Duoxiang quickly retreated behind Su Mo and asked in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not the kind of person who causes trouble."
Su Mo replied helplessly.
Soon Spader walked up to Su Mo, he was in a very good mood, and praised him directly in front of everyone, "Su Mo made great contributions to the successful completion of this visit to the Yanas Kingdom, everyone should learn from him!"
Hearing Spader's words, Sun Duoxiang's side couldn't help but cheer.
"Boss is mighty!"
Xiulis on the side frowned slightly after hearing this, he took a deep breath, and also felt more pressure.
"Thank you for the praise, Lord Spader."
Su Mo was also a little puzzled, why did Spader suddenly praise him in front of everyone?
Spader then said excitedly, "I will remember all the merits you have made, and after the operation is over, after returning to the Federation, all of them will be reported. You must continue to work hard, I believe you will become a dazzling pearl of the emerging Federation."
"Yes..."
Su Mo also kept agreeing in a daze.
"Everyone listen, I hope you can take Su Mo as an example, work hard, and add glory to the Federation!"
.....
Hai Mo looked at this scene, frowned and said in a low voice to Wen Luosi.
"Wen Luosi, is Lord Spader publicly establishing prestige for Su Mo?"
"That's right, but what's wrong with that?"
Wen Luosi replied with a smile.
"What did Su Mo do during this visit, that could make Lord Spader value him so much?"
Hai Mo was also more and more incredulous, usually Lord Spader and the others also valued Su Mo very much. But there was no substantial indication, but now the situation is completely different.
Spader is directly putting his favor of Su Mo on the surface.
"You'll know later, I believe you'll be very shocked after you know. Then you'll understand why Lord Spader values Su Mo so much now, this is the glory he deserves."
Wen Luosi didn't say it clearly either.
