Chapter 73: Mysterious Incantation (3k, Third Update 13)

What is water displacement?

Li Nuo looked at the female merchant not far away.

She was wearing a deep blue leather trench coat, a white bow tie with a lace shirt, a wide-brimmed black hat, and a circle of small glass jars containing various liquids hanging on her belt, jingling as she walked.

It was obvious that this water merchant, who called herself Elena, was not well-off.

Other Water Guild merchants wore high-end silk and satin, stepped on waterproof and soft leather boots, and were accompanied by servants serving wine.

This Elena was different; not only did she attend the banquet alone, but even her coat was made of leather, similar to that of ordinary upper-level residents.

If it weren't for the Water Guild emblem on the glass jars on her belt, others would have really thought she was a female swindler who had sneaked into the banquet.

"Water displacement? No, I don't need it. This kind of business will only lose money."

A wealthy-looking man refused Elena's request.

Elena looked at another person next to the wealthy man, who also waved his hand to decline.

"Excuse me for bothering you."

Elena turned to another group of people.

She made requests to different people, but ultimately only received the same result.

That was rejection.

Obviously, almost everyone knew what the water displacement business was, and they also knew that this business was guaranteed to lose money, so they firmly rejected Elena.

Only Li Nuo was an exception.

This was the first time he had heard of such an unpopular business as water displacement.

Elena walked along the railing with her head down, looking dejected, getting closer and closer to Li Nuo.

Li Nuo glanced at her and found that she was surprisingly young and beautiful, at most just an adult.

It was a pity that her makeup skills were not good, and she didn't touch up her makeup in time, so her face was cakey from sweating.

However, with her appearance and age, she wouldn't be bad even without makeup.

It was probably because she attached great importance to this banquet that she used her unskilled makeup skills to dress herself up to look more mature, but she didn't expect it to backfire.

Li Nuo didn't rush to strike up a conversation.

He took out the data pad and quickly searched for the "water displacement" business.

After gaining a little understanding of this business, Li Nuo's eyes lit up slightly, and his gaze towards Elena became more excited.

"Elena, can I talk to you for a moment…"

Before Li Nuo could finish speaking, a person boarded the deck and rushed towards Elena.

"Elena, my little darling, come here~~"

This person's dress was similar to Kelly's, also in a metal punk style, with both ears and chin made of silver metal.

He opened his arms and strode towards Elena, with the posture of giving her a bear hug on the spot.

Behind this person, six strong men in carapace armor followed closely, seemingly as personal guards.

People who can bring armed personnel on board must have a simple identity and status.

Sure enough, after the surrounding people clearly saw this person's appearance and dress, they dispersed like avoiding a plague god.

Li Nuo knew that the situation was not good, forcibly stopped the idea of talking to Elena, and turned his body one hundred and eighty degrees to get away from the scene.

Elena heard the shout and fled like a frightened rabbit, but was stopped by the person's personal guards in the center of the deck.

"Don't run, my Elena. The White Fruit Manor has been devastated by my men, and the manor will soon be in my hands. When the time comes, I will give it to you as a gift. How about you accompany me for a month?"

"Don't be like this, Young Master Cadori, this is a public place…"

White Fruit Manor?

Li Nuo slowed down his pace and found a wall nearby to hide, quietly observing the man named Cadori.

On the other party's rivet-studded leather jacket, there was an emblem of "a hand holding a snake-shaped scepter", which was the symbol of the Levi family, a medical family.

Li Nuo quickly searched for the name "Cadori Levi."

The character image in the search results matched the person on the scene, indeed the young master of the Levi family.

I didn't expect that the tragic encounter of White Fruit Manor was actually caused by the Levi family.

Cadori really didn't take the Imperial Enforcement Department and the Black Ship Alliance, who were investigating this matter, seriously at all, and even publicized his actions.

You are really awesome, daring to give the Imperial Enforcement Department such a hard time, you really have guts.

As Li Nuo was feeling emotional, another group of people rushed onto the deck.

It was the Arbiter team led by the Judge!

"Oh, hey, that little brat named Cadori Levi, you come over here."

The Judge, with a cigar in his mouth, waved his right hand wrapped in a heavy glove, and the Arbiter team behind him approached Cadori in an encircling manner.

Cadori's personal guards stood in the middle of the road, blocking the Arbiter team's path.

Cadori separated his personal guards and came to the crowd, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth:

"Isn't this our respected Judge? You should be tired after chasing me for a day, right? It just so happens that there is a banquet here, would you like to sit down and rest?"

The Judge wore a black mask in the style of "Deep Dark Fantasy", only revealing his eyes, bridge of his nose, and mouth, making it impossible to see his true face.

He spat out a few smoke rings and cursed impatiently:

"Damn it, are you descendants of the noble families in the hive city full of paste in your heads? Knowing that I am the Judge, you still dare to be glib with me?"

The Judge waved his hand:

"Take this kid and his guards back. Kill those who resist on the spot. I don't even hesitate to kill the head of the PDF, am I still afraid of you little bastard? Go! Take them all down!"

Simple foul language, the ultimate enjoyment.

The Judge from the capital of the Human Empire is just tough, not giving our Young Master Cadori any face at all.

This made the arrogant and domineering young master very angry.

“Want to catch me? You'll have to touch me first! Today, I'll see just how capable you Terra people really are!”

Kadori advanced instead of retreating, taking a large step forward with his right foot, strange syllables spilling from his mouth:

“Lorica pectoralis argentea, quinque nummis una!”

Dense, silver scales emerged from Kadori's collar and cuffs, rapidly spreading and clinging to his skin, covering his entire body in an instant.

Li Nuo's pupils constricted!

These scales looked awfully familiar!

They looked exactly like the silver scale patterns on Leia's forehead!

The next second, the scales on Kadori's body stood erect, and a violent burst of air blew out from under the scales, sweeping across the entire area like a shockwave.

“Bang — — — — — —”

The surging airflow knocked the ordinary people around them off their feet.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

The Arbiter squad barely managed to maintain their footing with their magnetic boots, the torrential gale halting their advance.

Ilena was closest to Kadori, and the impact of the airflow was the most intense, actually blowing her away.

She drew an arc in the air, falling towards the sea outside the railing with a terrified scream.

The opposing sides were preoccupied, and the surrounding passersby were scrambling on the ground in disarray; no one could offer Ilena a helping hand.

Just as she was about to fly off the deck, a strong hand grasped her ankle, pulling her up with tremendous force.

Ilena only felt the world spin, her body thrown and moved uncontrollably.

Her hair was disheveled, her face pale, and when her feet touched the ground, her pupils were still dilated, and she could only hug the arm of the person beside her with all her might.

“Let go, you're safe now.”

Li Nuo quietly reassured her, poking his head out from behind the wall, sizing up the battling sides from a distance.

Kadori's silver scale armor possessed a unique force field, causing bolter rounds to become duds and fall to the ground as they approached him.

His personal guards were all equipped with refraction field emitters, not even bothering to find cover, standing directly in front of the Arbiter squad and exchanging fire with them.

The Arbiter squad's equipment was also not bad, each person possessing a refraction field emitter, and a more refined one at that.

Their bolter rounds collided with the energy fields of the personal guards, causing intense undulations.

And the bullets fired by the personal guards only stirred up ripples on the Arbiter squad's energy fields, like raindrops.

Before long, this passionate shootout would end with the personal guards' energy fields failing.

Kadori's scale armor could fire high-pressure air bursts like an air cannon, but ultimately, it couldn't change the outcome of the battle.

Braving the Judge's barrage, he rushed to the railing in one breath, jets of air erupting from the soles of his feet, propelling himself out of the ship.

The scales on his body stood up again, constantly spewing out air, supporting his soon-to-fall body.

In this way, Kadori drew one towering arc after another, flying away from the cruise ship like he was on a roller coaster, rapidly flying in the sky above the dock.

“Damn Hive noble, your black technology equipment is truly more numerous than the last!”

The Judge cursed, cooperating with his team members to eliminate Kadori's guards, leading the squad straight after the target.

The deck was covered with bullet marks, the personal guards blasted into parts by bolter rounds, fragments of flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

The guests attending the banquet screamed in terror, rushing towards the gangway in a frenzy, the scene once in utter chaos.

Li Nuo stared intently at the departing Kadori, his eyes fixed on the scales on the other party's body, repeatedly muttering the strange syllables Kadori had chanted earlier.

Lorica pectoralis argentea, quinque nummis una.

This phrase seemed to be the command to control the silver scales, it was unknown if it would be effective on Leia.

Li Nuo wanted to write down this sentence on the data slate, but found that his arm was still being held by Ilena.

Observing her up close, Li Nuo only wanted to sigh, "What a beauty."

This girl named Ilena was truly too beautiful.

Black silk-like long hair fell over her shoulders, a few strands playfully curling up, like the soft fur of a Persian cat.

Due to excessive panic, she was sweating profusely, constantly breaking out in cold sweat, the makeup powder on her face had mostly come off, but the exposed skin was even whiter and more delicate than the makeup powder, truly worthy of being called "breakable by a touch."

Most rare of all, she possessed heterochromia, one blue and one green eye, like dazzling gems, making people unable to resist looking.

Li Nuo used immense willpower to control his mind, using one hand to take out a metal business card, handing it to Ilena:

“I am the director of the procurement department of Umbrella Bioengineering Company. I would like to consult with you about water body replacement business.”

“Water body... replacement?” Ilena's brain was activated by the keywords.

She looked at Li Nuo blankly, a gleam gradually appearing in her eyes.

When her cognitive abilities recovered to a certain level, Ilena suddenly realized that she was still holding the other party's arm, two blushes flying onto her cheeks.

“Thank you, thank you for saving me.”

Ilena released her arms, subconsciously reaching for her burning cheeks, only to touch the already melted makeup powder, unable to help but panic even more, the redness of her cheeks becoming even more obvious.

Li Nuo looked left and right, took out a handkerchief and handed it over:

“Wipe your face first, we'll find another place to talk about the water body replacement. It seems that this banquet won't be happening today.”

Ilena covered her face with the brim of her hat, lowered her head to wipe away the powder that had turned into liquid on her face, nodding embarrassedly in response.
