Chapter 534 Old Acquaintance

"I never thought I would go to Antarctica..."

Standing at the airship field, looking at the huge airship in front of her, Mary felt that everything in front of her didn't seem like reality.

Suddenly, Professor Parmar from the History Department invited me to participate in his research meeting.

Suddenly, Professor Parmar said that he would go to Antarctica for inspection next.

Suddenly, he planned to take him with him.

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

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

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

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

In fact, if possible, Duanmuhuai would like to go directly to Antarctica by airship.

On the one hand, it's because of convenience, and on the other hand... Well, do you know where Raleye is?

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

Maybe I’ll turn a corner and have a seafood barbecue with Cthulhu.

Although Duanmu Huai is not afraid of Cthulhu, he doesn't want to let himself be covered in the smell of fish, right?

Unfortunately, given the climate conditions in Antarctica, airplanes are fine, but airships are a bit difficult. So Duanmuhuai had no choice but to take a boat from Tierra del Fuego to Antarctica, hoping that Cthulhu would not be stupid enough to cause trouble for him.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Duanmu."

Professor Parmar's face was also flushed with excitement at this moment, and he held Duanmuhuai's hands tightly. It would be good to have a sponsor who is rich and not afraid of spending money. If this is funded by public funds, let alone flying in an airship, they would have to take the worst third class cabin by ship. After all, public funds are limited. In this kind of inspection, Naturally, one has to break a penny in half and spend it. In terms of living and transportation, it is natural to save as much as possible. How can it be like Duanmuhuai, who directly chartered an airship with a wave of his hand? Such a comfortable inspection, I will come back a few more times Parmar will not be tired.

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

While most people are in high spirits, there are exceptions.

Like Lorena.

"Huh? It's an airship again. Nothing will happen again..."

"Miss Lorena? What's your name?"

Seeing the usually smiling girl now grimacing, Mary asked curiously, and Miss Lorena also sighed.

"Because when Lord Knight and I took an airship to the Fog City, a murder by a cultist occurred on the airship... It was very tiring."

"Hey?! Kill, murder???"

Mary was also shocked when she heard this. After all, she had only seen this kind of thing in mystery novels, never in reality!

"No, but don't worry, Miss Lorena, Mr. Duanmu has chartered the 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. Instead, Duanmuhuai came over and patted Lorena on the head.

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

"Why?"

Soon, Lorena understood why Duanmuhuai said that everything would be fine this time.

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

"Due to the murder incident, the business of this airship has not been very good recently. I saw that the price was cheap, so I just rented it."

"……………………"

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

Is there such an operation? ? ?

So Lorena finally figured out why Duanmu Huai was so confident. All the crew members on the ship had been interrogated by Duan Muhuai. Except for the ship doctor, everyone else was innocent, which meant that they should not The problem occurs again. But... Sir 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. He even introduced her to Mary.

"Look, it's here, this smoking room. The victim was killed here, and his blood was used to draw a strange magic circle. There are also blasphemous runes everywhere on the walls... Oh, it seems like everything has been cleaned up now..."

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

"By the way, which room do you plan to stay in?"

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

While talking, everyone walked through the corridor and came to the observation deck, where the captain was waiting for their arrival. Seeing Duanmu Huai, the captain also showed a warm smile and saluted Duanmu Huai.

"It's been a long time since we last met, sir, you are still the same as always."

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

"Alas, there's nothing we can do about it..."

Faced with Duanmu Huai's ridicule, the captain also smiled bitterly. The previous murder incident did cause them a lot of trouble. It was just a simple murder, but the problem was that the cultists killed people, so that at the port dock, there were all kinds of rumors about the "Full Moon and Stars". What about the soul of the man who was killed was trapped by evil magic and is still wandering in the cabin, ready to take the souls of others at any time...

Those who can ride the airship are those who are unwilling to wrong themselves, and of course they are unwilling to ride an unlucky airship. So the "Full Moon and Stars" has been operating bleakly in the past few months. Even the captain was a little discouraged and wanted to sell the airship, but no one wanted it.

Duanmu Huai happened to see the news and contacted the captain. The captain would never forget the benefactor who saved him and others from the fire and water. If it weren't for Duanmu Huai and Lorena, they would have been buried in the sea with the airship, let alone come back alive, so he naturally agreed.

Anyway, there is no business now, so it's 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 Star, otherwise he may hardly receive customers in this life.
