Chapter 534 Old acquaintance


    “I didn’t expect that I would go to Antarctica...”


    ?Standing at the airship field, looking at the huge airship in front of her, Mary felt that nothing in front of her seemed like reality.


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


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


    Suddenly, he planned to take himself 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 trembling.


    ?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 hardship, 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, 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?


    ? Laleye 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 fishy smell, 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 so much, Mr. Duanmu.”


    Professor Parmar''s face was also glowing with excitement at this moment, and he was holding 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 as good as 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.


    ?For example, Lorena.


    “Huh? It’s an airship again. Is there going to be another accident?”


    “Miss Lorena? What’s your name?”


    ?Seeing that the girl who usually always had a smile on her face was now grimacing, Mary also asked curiously, and Miss Lorena also sighed.


    “Because when the Lord Knight and I took an airship to the foggy city, there was a murder by a cultist on the airship... It was very tiring.”


    “Hey?! Kill, murder???”


    Hearing this, Mary was also shocked. After all, she had only seen this kind of thing in mystery novels, never heard of it 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, Duanmu Huai came over at this moment 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 the one he chartered this time was the "Full Moon and Stars" they were on 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 rented it.”


    …………”


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


    ??Is there still 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 all over the walls... Oh , it seems that everything has been cleaned up now..."


    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 live in?”


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


    While talking, everyone walked through the corridor and arrived at the observation deck, 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 as good as ever.”


    “It’s okay, but you don’t look very good.”


    “Hey, there’s nothing we can do about it...”


    Facing Duanmuhuai’s teasing, the captain also smiled bitterly. The previous murders had indeed brought them a lot of trouble, and simple murders were enough. But the problem was still cultists killing people, so that at the port terminal, there were endless rumors about the "Full Moon and Stars". What? The soul of the killed man was trapped by evil magic and is still wandering in the cabin, ready to seize other people''s souls and so on...


    ?Those who can ride on an airship are those who are unwilling to wrong themselves, and of course they are not willing 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 frustrated and wanted to simply sell the airship - but no one wanted it even if it was sold.


    Just at this time, Duanmu Huai saw the news and contacted the captain. The captain would naturally not forget the benefactor who saved him and others from the fire and water. If Duanmu Huai and Lorena hadn''t taken action, they would have perished in the sea together with the airship, let alone come back alive, so naturally they agreed wholeheartedly.


    There is no business now anyway, so it would be 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 he may have difficulty receiving customers again in his life.
