Luke just moved some hands and feet when inspecting the airship. He adjusted the buoyancy of the airship to the maximum. The theoretical upper limit of the lift-off of this type of airship is 20,000 meters. At this height, looking down, you can see the curvature of the planet.

Even if he can see a larger area of ​​the ocean, Edgar will not be able to receive much blessing from the power of the ocean.

In this way, Edgar is just a slightly more powerful four-star character, perhaps slightly inferior to Shelley.

The low temperature, low pressure, and low oxygen environment at high altitude will further weaken Edgar. Luke was fully prepared for this extreme high-altitude duel. In the secret room of the dormitory, he used secret techniques to bless himself.

A period of skin breathing to ensure your body's oxygen intake.

At the same time, his troll bloodline has a higher adaptability to harsh environments than humans. When the mind and body are ready to face the high-altitude environment, the adaptation process is far faster than that of Ed, who is ignorant of the high-altitude environment.

many.

Luke looked at Edgar who was gasping for air, summoned the Red Dragon Spear and held it in his hand. After doing a cool trick, he stabbed the top protective plate of the airship under his feet. Not only was the tip of the gun completely submerged, but the barrel of the gun was also

A large piece of it was stabbed in.

At this moment, Edgar still didn't understand what kind of weakening magic the other party had unleashed on him. The temperature around him was freezing and his head was feeling dizzy.

But he still took the two-handed sword from his back and held it in his hand. The water was wrapped around the sword. But the water was as thin as a mountain stream, far from the surging momentum of a big tide.

The connection with the sea is getting weaker and weaker.

"Inspector Meteor, you are so despicable! Do you think you can defeat me easily like this? I have never lost in a duel, and it is the same today."

Edgar took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. The experience of many life-and-death duels taught him how to deal with difficulties. The first thing is to stabilize his mentality. Now his physical condition has declined due to some reasons, but it is not insurmountable.

There must be no slack in the fighting spirit to win.

I am more focused and my condition is indeed much better.

Edgar put on a defensive posture. He felt that as long as he gave himself some time, his body could recover.

Luke pulled the spear out from the protective plate under his feet, and the gas filled in the air bag sprayed out from the small hole poked by the tip of the gun, making a sharp whistling sound.

Then, a spark shot out of Luke's eyes. When the spark came into contact with the gas ejected from the airbag of the airship, it instantly ignited it. Luke quickly retreated, and a tongue of flame, which was more than ten meters long, shot from the air port toward

External eruption.

Edgar was immediately dumbfounded.

Didn't the Alchemist Association of Ruffian City say... Is the Changxiang-class hydrogen airship absolutely safe? When hydrogen is added with a stabilizer, it will never be ignited?

What's the situation now?

Can't this be lit?

Besides, what are you doing with the airship when you have nothing to do?

"Detective, block that hole quickly. If the airship explodes, you won't survive!"

Luke used the Greedy Red Dragon Spear to poke another hole in his feet, and then ignited it. There was another tongue of fire erupting on the airship. Luke took a step back, continued to poke, and said to Edgar: "I want to fight for our duel."

To increase the difficulty, I added something to the airbag of the airship. You may not know that the hydrogen stabilizer developed by the Alchemist Association of Raging Wave City is actually not stable by itself, and a little interference agent can make it completely ineffective.

Do you feel very nervous and exciting now?

This is the atmosphere a duel should have."

Watching the Meteor Inspector poke holes in the airship one after another, and then ignite the hydrogen gas being sprayed out, Edgar finally understood why Yomington said he was a madman.

He is really a madman.

Seeing more and more tongues of fire spraying out of the hull, Edgar panicked. But he knew... Meteor did this just to lure him into attacking. His body had not yet recovered, and with the obstruction of these fire snakes,

You have to expend more energy in battle.

He must not be impulsive. He would never dare to detonate the airship. Seeing that he was unmoved, he would definitely stop this kind of destruction that harmed others and was not beneficial to himself.

Edgar held his position, continued to assume a defensive posture, and allowed his body to recover by adjusting his breathing.

"Detective...I won't fall into your trap, stop it!"

Luke continued to retreat, poking holes under his feet and lighting them.

Edgar was unmoved, he was sure that the meteor would stop.

He will stop...

It will definitely stop...

This will not do him any good. If the airship explodes, he will die. He will stop immediately...

This will definitely be the last one he will stop...

Why doesn't he stop?

Edgar watched helplessly as Luke stepped back a hundred meters. Every time he took a step back, a fire snake was lit. At this time, nearly two hundred fire snakes lined up in a line and erupted. It looked very spectacular and thrilling.

The airship will turn into a burning fireball at any time.

Edgar did not dare to wait any longer. If such a fire was not put out as soon as possible, even if he won the duel, he would be buried in the sea of ​​fire. Edgar inhaled and exhaled quickly, feeling that he could fight

At that moment, he rushed towards Luke with his sword.

Every time he took a step, layers of water ripples rose out of thin air under his feet. As the ripples became more dense, a wave rose behind Edgar. The wave assisted, pushing Edgar to charge faster. Then Edgar charged faster.

As the speed increased, the waves rose higher and higher, forming an overwhelming tide, which followed the sword and struck Luke.

At this time, Luke had already reached the bow of the airship, with the sky behind him.

There is no way to retreat.

Facing the crashing waves and Edgar in the middle of the waves, Luke once again thrust the Red Dragon Spear into the hull of the boat at his feet. Only this time he did not pull out the gun, but kicked it with all his strength.

Kick on the head of the gun.

The gun head was raised forward, and a huge fire blade cut a hole in the hull of the boat. This fire blade cut all the way forward along the hole Luke had pierced, and the raging fire erupted outwards wherever it passed, forming a

The fire wave swept across and enveloped the water wave set off by Edgar.

Edgar was really stupid this time.

He never imagined that Inspector Meteor really set the airship on fire. Are they going to die together?

Edgar struggled to support himself in the raging flames. He tried his best to condense water to counteract the high temperature brought by the raging fire. However, the water he summoned was simply a drop in the bucket under this kind of fire.

The water cover outside the body became thinner and thinner, and the entire sky outside seemed to be on fire.

Edgar knew that he was bound to die here this time. Even if he was not burned to death, he would still fall to death without the airship. But having an inspector from the Imperial Secret Service buried with him didn't seem like a loss.

Desperate, Edgar searched for the falling star in the fire to see if he would die before he did.

Then he saw... the meteor summoned a creature that looked like a dragon but not as big as a dragon, and rode on it. The creature jumped up from the airship before the fire caught up with it, then spread its wings... and flew away...

…

flew away!

It turns out that I am the only clown.

Seeing that beautiful creature carrying Inspector Meteorite disappearing into the fire field, Edgar could only shake his head with a wry smile.

At this moment, the fire broke through the water cover and swallowed Edgar inside.

Nutao City Government Affairs Office Building Square.

When the airship rose and disappeared from the range of the naked eye, the spectators who came specifically to watch the battle did not know what they could see. They could only stare blankly at the sky and wait for the result of the duel to come out.

However, those with status can use telescopes to follow and observe the Changxiang-class airship, but they cannot see what is happening in the duel arena on the top of the airship.

But one can argue about the excellence of hydrogen airships.

"This height definitely exceeds 10,000 meters. This is the advantage of hydrogen airships. Stronger lift means more load, and the performance of steam airships at high altitudes is far inferior to hydrogen airships."

"Yes, with this duel to promote our hydrogen airships, those stubborn men in the imperial capital will definitely replace all the old steam airships with hydrogen airships.

Our airships can be sold all over the world."

"Then we can continue to sell stabilizers and continue to make money for us. My investment in the hydrogen airship will finally pay off."

"How much have you invested in a hydrogen airship?"

"This...it's not convenient to tell you, but there are many..."

"I have also invested a lot. Hydrogen is the mainstream of future airships. The wealth it brings to me will allow me and my descendants to no longer have to worry about money."

"Hahaha……"

Just when a group of people were showing off how much money they would make on a hydrogen airship, someone suddenly shouted: "Look, the airship exploded! It, it's burning."

The officials and businessmen all raised their telescopes and looked at the sky in horror.

In fact, there is no need to use a telescope. The fire is clearly visible with the naked eye from the ground.

The Changxiang-class hydrogen airship used as a duel site caught fire, and it burned in full view of everyone. Everyone pointed in the direction of the fire ball in the sky and yelled, and some people fell to the ground on the spot...

Isn’t it said that hydrogen with stabilizer added is very safe?

Why did it start burning!

Moreover, on this occasion, such a serious accident occurred under the watchful eyes of all the citizens of Raging Wave City, and it was impossible to hide it even if they wanted to.

It is conceivable that even if a hydrogen airship with such a major safety hazard is produced, no one would dare to ride on it. The hydrogen airship, which was given high hopes by all walks of life in Nutao City, destroyed the hopes of all investors with a fire, and all investments were lost.

No return.

Investors think about their money that burned to ashes.

The audience happily watched the big fireworks in the sky.

As the protagonists of this incident, the two people on the burning airship have been forgotten by most people.

Everyone in the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau and the backbones of the Reform Society looked at the fireball in the sky and seemed to have lost an important part of their hearts.

Inspector Meteorite has not known them for too long, but sometimes it feels like they have known each other for a lifetime. He led everyone to open up a world in Raging Wave City in a short period of time, regardless of his initial intention to get to know Inspector Meteorite.

No matter what, you can't deny that you are impressed by his charm and determination.

This accident caused Inspector Meteor to leave.

Who is still capable of leading this team and continuing on this path?

Mrs. Michel looked at the fireball in the sky and said in frustration: "He shouldn't have gotten on that airship. Only by losing him can we realize what he means to us."

Congressman Ibur said: "The failure of the hydrogen airship investment makes me heartbroken, but losing Inspector Meteor makes me even more heartbroken. He has saved me many times, and he is a friend I can trust completely."

Viscount Escolan said angrily: "I should have insisted a little longer, I should have stopped him and not let him get on the airship. I put everything in my family on him, but I didn't expect such an accident to happen.

We need to hold an emergency meeting to select a person who can replace Inspector Meteorite, and then report what happened here to Her Royal Highness the Princess. We must deal with the aftermath of Inspector Meteorite leaving us as soon as possible to reduce our losses...

Without Inspector Meteor, we...we would all be doomed..."

Iskran was very pessimistic.

But at this time, a voice sounded beside them: "What happened? I'm not dead yet, are you ready to choose someone to replace me?"

Iskran, you must be coveting my position."

It's Inspector Meteor!

Several people looked excitedly in the direction of the sound, and it turned out to be Inspector Meteor! He was standing beside them at some point and listened to what they just said.

When Viscount Iskran saw Luke, he was not disappointed at all. Regardless of his identity, he stepped forward and gave Luke a tight hug.

"You can always create miracles. I clearly saw you boarding the airship, but...

No matter what, your life is good. Forget what I said... I really want to take your place, but I know that I can't. I have never recognized your position as I do now. You are our leader and will always be.

yes."

After Viscount Iskran let go of Luke, Mrs. Michel also hugged him.

Although her mood was not as exciting as Iskran's, she still looked happy: "Please don't do this kind of thing that scares us again. If you do it to make us feel that you are irreplaceable, I admit you

It worked. Next time, please tell us your plan, we are a team!"

Councilor Ibur then hugged Luke: "I have always believed that you can definitely create miracles, and this time we have witnessed your miracle again. Tell us, what exactly happened?

You should be on that burning airship right now, why are you suddenly standing next to us?"

Luke was finally able to speak.

"Of course I flew down. I will find an opportunity to explain the specific situation to you later. Now Edgar is dead and Yomington is at Oulu College. The explosion of the Changxiang-class hydrogen airship has a negative impact on the official and commercial system of Raging Wave City.

A serious injury.

We will fight back immediately.

In the Cape Port, my people have gone to receive the steam battleship of the Saxon Project.

Here, we need to use the fastest speed to inspect all institutions related to the hydrogen airship research project. The City Alchemy Association will be prosecuted for murdering the Secret Service detective..."
