Chapter 706: Yorshan
Ning took the entire spaceship into his massive storage and teleported back on top of the blue turtle that was still roaming the ocean.
Since there was nothing else to do besides wait, he decided to learn more about Space stone.
“Can I use space stone on my own? Without the machines?” Ning asked.
“Cool,” Ning thought. “So that must be how the Space Drive works then. Right, how exactly do I use it once I get the space out of the stone?”
“Better things?” Ning got curious.
“Oh, that’s quite nice. But I don’t need that, do I?” Ning asked.
Ning thought for a moment about what the system said. However, nothing he could think of came close to comprehending the meaning of the sentence.
“Say that again,” he asked of the system.
Ning thought for a moment. “I can do such a thing?” he asked.
“Wait, um… how?” Ning had a hard time wrapping his head around the concept.
A world in himself.
“That’s… I would have never thought of something like that being possible. Can you tell me where the largest space stone is in this galaxy?”
“I know they’re around the black hole. I don’t need more information than that right now. Unless there is one close by?” he asked.
“Thought so. Well, I guess I will just wait and see then,” Ning said as a smile appeared on his face. “Today was quite fruitful. Oh yeah, make sure to intercept any messages that come from outside. We might have to respond back.”
Ning spent the rest of the time simply drifting on top of the giant turtle, letting it take him wherever it wanted.
At some point, he even fell asleep.
BANG!
A loud noise awakened Ning from his sleep as the shockwave pushed him off of the turtle.
Ning barely work up in time and managed to grab onto one of the crevices of the shell to keep himself from falling to the ground.
He then quickly climbed back on top of the turtle and looked around. When he did, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
Nearly 30 different battleships were surrounding the turtle. They made multiple circles of defense and all had their cannon pointed at them.
“The hell?” Ning looked around and saw men in white and red uniforms, pointing their guns at him. They were ready to fire at a moment’s notice.
“Summoner, who are you? And why are you in our country’s territory?” a man with a thick mustache asked with a gun in his hand.
Ning immediately raised his hands. “Please don’t shoot. I’m not an enemy,” he said. “My name is Ning. I didn’t come to your country’s territory on purpose. I had simply let my beast free rein, that’s all.”
“Are you saying it’s just a coincidence that we’re meeting you here today?” the man asked.
“Yes. That is precisely what I’m saying,” Ning said with a smile. It was good meeting people who understood easily.
“Do you think me for an idiot?” the man asked.
This man didn’t seem to be one that understood easily.
“I’m not lying, sir,” Ning said.
A gunshot ran at the same time and hit the turtle’s shell a couple of meters away from him.
“You appear here on the same day after our prince is assassinated. Do you really think we will believe whatever you say?” another man asked from another ship.
“What?” Ning was confused. “System, give me some information.”
Ning learned that he was currently in the ocean territory of the Kingdom of Yorshan. It was a kingdom about the same size as Darius, if all of Darius’s 10 islands were combined together.
The King of this kingdom had been dead for some time and the Queen had been handling the kingdom until the crown prince was old enough to take over.
However, a month before his coronation —last night to be precise— the prince was murdered while in his sleep.
The young man who was barely 15 appeared to have both drowned and burned to death at the same time.
“That’s just horrible,” Ning thought when he got the description of the corpse. “Who could do such a thing?”
Just as Ning questioned, the system answered.
“An assassin huh? Who employed her?” Ning thought.
Another gunshot and this time the bullet flew past his ears, barely hitting him.
In fact, the man was indeed trying to shoot him down, but he had missed.
Ning thought for a moment about what he could do. Could he just tell them that he knew who the killer was? Would they even believe him? How would he even explain how he came to learn about the truth?
There were too many problems to simply blurt out an answer. For now, he needed some time to think of what to do next and gather some more information.
In a haste, he could only think to do a single thing.
“Imprison me.”
