Ice Sea Lord: Starting with Intelligence Update

So now, Azure undoubtedly needs a partner to support it.

The White Dove is a very good plan right now.

Two people are always better than one. Even if you're about to die, you can find allies to go down with you. Even a slight increase in the chances of survival is better.

Facing Lin Qingqing, he also had new plans.

What could be more appropriate than giving a favor to a fallen princess who can't be squeezed out of anything?

So He Feng silently made a decision in his heart.

After settling the remaining refugees, he found Lin Qingqing, who was enjoying the view from the side of the boat.

A cold wind, mixed with snowflakes, gently landed on her tattered felt hat. Her long hair was draped over her sweater, made of sea animal skin from her childhood, and its disheveled state revealed a deep sadness.

Since my father died, the old folks in town have changed their usual amiable demeanor.

Their fangs were revealed, sparking a series of brutal and extraordinary political struggles, and she was even drawn into them.

In the end, her father's pacifist faction was wiped out by the pro-war faction, and she was also hunted down here.

White Raven City has now transformed into a ruthless military and political institution that devours people without spitting out their bones.

As the White Dove was a branch city of White Crow City, it was the only place she could go, and the only place she could go.

She should go find her lord uncle, whom she has never spoken to before.

He maintained a proper distance from Lin Qingqing, a change from his previous assertive manner.

"You seem to be thinking about something?" He Feng asked, still smiling, as he leaned against the metal railing.

"Have you thought about what you want? Your appetite shouldn't be that small." Lin Qingqing's face was ashen, as if covered by a layer of gloom.

"Don't be so formal, do you think I'm that kind of person?" He Feng laughed loudly, revealing a set of bright white teeth that were particularly eye-catching.

"Let me guess, you're thinking about things in White Raven City?"

"A princess being hunted down because of internal strife—that's a common trope in TV dramas, or a central figure forced to remain silent after discovering some shocking secret?"

Lin Qingqing turned her head abruptly, startled, and asked, "Who are you?"

"That's right, I was just guessing!" He Feng said casually, flipping the compass in his hand back and forth.

"I also know some things you don't want others to know. Would you like to hear them?"

Lin Qingqing fell silent, not uttering a word.

"I have a friend who really wants to find you. I know this friend, but he doesn't know me."

"So I want you to connect me with this friend."

The true intentions are revealed when the map is unrolled; He Feng gets straight to the point.

"White Dove, that's your destination!" He Feng slammed the compass in his hand shut, emitting a sharp metallic sound.

"I'm planning to take you there!"

Lin Qingqing was stunned upon hearing He Feng's words.

Shouldn't a normal person send her back to White Raven City to claim the reward? Which is more important, the friendship between a near-second-tier fortress or a first-tier fortress?

That must be a Tier 2 fortress.

Although the Azure clashed with the pursuers chasing him, it could still use self-defense as an excuse to avoid punishment.

Besides, sinking a ship is nothing to White Raven City. As long as she is sent out, the good will still outweigh the bad.

There will still be generous rewards.

The other party really couldn't figure it out for her.

Despite her confused state, Lin Qingqing still asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

"A gentleman's word is his bond." He Feng replied with great satisfaction.

The air grew slightly heavy, and after a long silence, the girl murmured, "I will help you establish contact with the White Dove, but I won't really owe you anything."

After saying that, she took out several shiny blueprints from her body and presented them to He Feng.

"This blueprint is a reward for saving us just now, a thank you gift, and also for better cooperation between us."

He Feng took it with one hand and examined it carefully.

Lava Propeller

Tier 1 Equipment

[Feature: Automatically emits heat radiation during operation to melt shallow ice layers]

[Materials required: 1 ton of pig iron, 1 heat source core]

He Feng couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. Right now, he was exactly looking for a powerful propulsion system, and the gift this little girl gave him was quite good.

The gift clearly conveyed the sentiment, and He Feng nodded silently.

Holding the blueprint in his hand, he felt that he was getting further away from that deadline.

"My lord, Ms. Lin, the victory celebration is about to begin!" A crew member rushed out of the cabin and shouted to the two of them.

"You've invited us to the victory celebration banquet?" Lin Qingqing asked suspiciously.

"It's just a token of my appreciation," He Feng said casually.

Even though they are poor and heartless, it's still inconsiderate of them not to give them any face.

"Is it just the few of us?" Lin Qingqing asked again.

"No matter what, all guests are welcome. Today, I'll show you around." He Feng laughed heartily and then led the girl into the Azure's dining hall.

The room was already full of people, and because there weren't enough tables, many seats were simply made from spare wooden crates.

Looking around at the dark space filled with the smell of the sea, she felt a sense of despair for a place to eat, a feeling she had never experienced before.

The stench of sweat and cooking fumes mingled together, along with the odor emanating from the solid wood furniture—it was simply unbearable to describe.

Lin Qingqing took a deep breath.

"Never mind, they may be poor, but they have good intentions."

Guided by the crew, she randomly found a corner seat and sat down.

She had no expectations for such a shabby Tier 1 fortress.

Compared to the almost industrialized diet on the White Raven, her tastes had long been spoiled.

What do these displaced people, who can only make a living on the sea every day, eat?

It's nothing more than seaweed broth and rye buns, and we have to go hungry for three days and nine meals a day.

And yet, they still have to spend money to set up an extra restaurant.

She's also someone who cares a lot about saving face.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but shake her head. Sure enough, even the smartest people are prone to making mistakes in small matters.

At this moment, she was already prepared to pinch her nose and risk her life to swallow He Feng and the others' "dark cuisine".

"Hot pot is here!" A waiter rushed over, carrying a textured iron pot.

The iron pot was set down, and the waiter took out a match. With a hiss, the lit match ignited the alcohol at the bottom.

"This is... a pot." Lin Qingqing exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.

He thought that even if He Feng and the others were uncivilized, they shouldn't be so ignorant of the rules of eating; it was clearly beyond her comprehension.

Who places an iron pot directly on the dining table for guests to eat in?

Lin Qingqing gave an awkward smile and instructed the waiter who was adding water to the pot, "Sir, could you just ladle the soup out for me? I can't really drink it straight from the pot."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then replied with a forced smile, "Sister, we're not letting you drink it directly; you're supposed to put food in it, you know?"

The girl blushed, her right hand constantly rubbing her hair, as if she wanted to bury her head in the ground.

"Here comes the food."

A colossal dish that nearly made her jaw drop was served.

After rubbing her eyes and confirming that it wasn't a hallucination, Lin Qingqing's worldview completely collapsed.

"Who serves giant crabs by the kilogram at a dinner party?"
