Chapter 750 sounds so melodramatic.
The Edwin that Xu Ning mentioned can be considered a household name in Fontaine.
This renowned Fontaine scientist, who was able to secure a place in the talent-rich Fontaine Academy of Sciences, was naturally an outstanding high-ranking technician. However, he was remembered by most people because of an experiment he conducted several years ago that sent the entire Fontaine Academy of Sciences into space.
It was literally like sending someone to heaven!
Julius was surprised that Xu Ning, an outsider, knew so much about Edwin's deeds. It was naturally embarrassing for him to have such a disgraceful thing exposed on the spot.
Julius blushed and shouted, "A mad scientist? As a member of the Academy of Sciences, failing experiments is commonplace for him, it's not madness at all. Edwin is so eager to push forward an immature experiment because the rising sea level is imminent, and he simply doesn't have any more time."
"Do you know what madness is? Let me tell you, true madness is that since Edwin, no scientist has been willing to put in the effort to deal with that prophetic disaster, even though the prophecy is about to come true. They would rather use their funds to crack and improve the formula of that bullshit Fonda drink, just because that stuff can bring them more money!"
Xu Ning listened silently to Julius's rebuke, and only spoke after he had vented his emotions.
"I never imagined that everything he did was to counter the prophecy. I was being presumptuous, and I apologize for what I said earlier. So, you and he are researching in the same direction, and you will also apply his theories to this large ship?"
Julius hadn't expected Xu Ning to apologize, which made him feel embarrassed instead. He stammered, "Oh, yes...yes, our main focus is on the primordial ore and the gravimeter. We've already conducted many experiments on the ship..."
Xu Ning nodded, "If you succeed this time, you will not only save a large number of Fontainebleau people, but you will also leave a significant mark on Fontainebleau's history, and most importantly..."
"...While I am still here, please do not do anything that could blow up Mero Petersburg."
When Julius heard the first half of Xu Ning's words, he was still regretting his earlier aggressiveness and was thinking about how to apologize to Xu Ning. Who knew that he would be so angry at the last sentence.
"Let me tell you, if you keep talking, I really don't know what I might do!"
Meanwhile, Xu Ning and Leosley were already standing in the center of the room, taking the elevator slowly downwards.
The two were silent for a moment. When the elevator was about to reach the bottom, Xu Ning finally spoke up: "It is indeed a remarkable feat, a truly magnificent ship."
Leosley smiled wryly and said, "Don't listen to what Lulvie says about the great Veengolai. In my opinion, it's just a ship built for escaping disasters. It can't compare to the golden Fatuna that brought civilization and glory. I don't have high expectations for it."
Xu Ning looked up at the dark and narrow pipes. "I don't think so. In a place like this, with such manpower and financial resources, you're doing something as great as saving Fontaine. It's because of people like you that Fontaine has hope."
"...However, if you think about it carefully, the fact that this country has to rely on gangs and criminals to save it is a ridiculous joke. Once I find the answer here, I will definitely go out and give those corrupt officials a good talking-to."
Leosley shook his head slightly and smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the statement.
"This is the deepest secret of Mero Petersburg. There are four gates here. Three are inside the passage, and the first one is on the ground, marked by a pointer. Below it is the primordial womb."
Xu Ning stood at the end of the passage, looking down at the huge pointer on the ground gate.
Despite Leosley's claim that his actions at Lu Jingquan bought them a lot of time, by all accounts, the clock is nearing its end.
Perhaps we don't even need to reach the end; the sluice gate here might not be able to withstand the surging primordial waters of the womb. When that happens, the sluice gate will break and the water will flow out, and the people in this prison will be able to wash away their sins for a lifetime in an instant.
The security here is so tight that it seems the young master couldn't have made it here; there must be another reason for his disappearance.
However, just as he thought of the young master, Xu Ning felt his mind suddenly become dazed.
Xu Ning was startled; this was no good place to fall asleep!
But it was clearly too late. When Xu Ning opened her eyes again, she found herself seemingly back in that pink and blue space.
It's like the one at Lu Jingquan, but this space is clearly larger.
To the right front of his own consciousness, the young master stood in the void, holding lightning blades horizontally in both hands, confronting a colossal creature.
That was clearly a huge whale with a sharp horn on its forehead.
"This space is undoubtedly inside the Primordial Fetal Sea. It seems that you have found another way to enter, but what about this strange giant whale?"
Xu Ning suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Young Master in the Dust Song Pot had said that when he fell into the abyss crevice, he had seen a huge whale and that his master had told him that he was destined to encounter it again in the future.
But how did this enormous creature end up in the primordial sea of fetuses?
Did they come here specifically to find the young master and settle the ill-fated relationship they had years ago?
Xu Ning chuckled to himself as he thought about it; how could it sound so melodramatic?
However, before Xu Ning could even enjoy himself, the giant whale seemed to sense something and suddenly turned its head towards him, which was originally confronting the young master.
Xu Ning was startled; it sensed the presence of its own consciousness.
The giant whale suddenly let out a long roar, and then suddenly charged in this direction.
The young master's lightning blade suddenly shone brightly, and in an instant, he flashed in front of the giant whale, forcefully blocking it back.
The two sides had been fighting in the primordial sea for an unknown period of time. Judging from their exchange, they seemed to be very familiar with each other. Each of their opponents knew every attack method of the other perfectly, and neither could gain the upper hand.
However, Xu Ning knew that although the young master seemed to be able to hold on for a while, his defeat was only a matter of time.
After all, this is the ocean, which gives the giant whale a home-field advantage. The young master, exhausted from a long battle, will naturally be defeated.
All we can do now is help Fontaine find a way to overcome the crisis while the young master persists.
Also, it's about figuring out why this giant whale seems to be looking for me.
After all, the whale's roar just now didn't make him feel hostile at all; instead, it made him feel more eager and excited.
It's like the excited and boastful bark of a husky that comes out when you open the door and it starts wreaking havoc on the house.
