Chapter 259: The Seven Sages

The layout of the trade airport looks like a circle of mosquito coils shrinking inward from a high altitude, with only one-way passages.

"I've inquired, and the more central the market, the higher the transaction tax will be, and most of the tax here will be used for military spending, so no one has complained. ”

Yan An walked on Mo Ye's side to lead the way, introducing the basic situation of the trade port to Mo Ye, and did not need a shopping guide to lead the way when walking around the outer circle, the seemingly random route of the two of them was actually traceable, which could facilitate Mo Ye to include all angles into the scope of observation to the greatest extent.

Since it is not a time to catch up with the market once a month, the flow of people in the port trading market is not large at the moment, and the individual stalls are not dense.

You can clearly see the transport aircraft going back and forth in the designated orbit, a large number of workers, heavily armed guards, and patrol fighters.

Fresh faces like Mo Ye and Yan An are still very eye-catching, for the merchants here, the visitors are guests, no matter what the origin is, the new arrivals mean fresh sources, new sales outlets, great things, and from time to time someone comes forward to talk.

Yan An talked to him like a stream, inquired about some necessary information by the way, and at the same time completed two small transactions.

At this point, Mo Ye really admires Captain Yan, I am born to be useful, and I am really not wrong at all.

The outermost two circles are still buying conventional goods, all kinds of weapons and equipment, communication equipment, medical supplies, etc., and this is also the most densely populated place, and not everyone can enter it inward.

If the level of trading permission is not enough, you will be turned away.

There are a lot of people coming and going, and the buzz of people is in stark contrast to the cold temperatures.

Mo Ye and Yan An walked inward with the flow of people, if it wasn't for something else, she really wanted to spend time shopping, and at a glance, she could see a lot of strange things.

Most of the vendors here are not ordinary humans, which is understandable in such a special area as the border war-torn area.

Since Mo Ye and the two of them deliberately wanted to inquire about the smuggler, of course, it was impossible to refuse people thousands of miles away, but taking the initiative to ask questions might not necessarily get the desired effect.

The second email that Xiao Qi received from the sender of the anonymous email was simply one word: 'fast', highlighting the desperation of the helper.

Whether it was too late to send the coordinates of the location, or for some other reason is unknown.

The word 'fast' is okay to say meaningful, and there is nothing wrong with saying that it doesn't make sense, and it doesn't help much to find anonymous emailers.

Xiao Qi's email sending range is only on this planet, and the only thing that can be sure is that the anonymous email sender is really on this planet.

In this case, Mo Ye believes that he will definitely be able to find relevant clues.

Mo Ye raised his hand and patted Yan An's shoulder, his hand sinking into the furry collar, "It's up to you." ”

Head Yan's expression paused, and he was under a lot of pressure, but he still nodded stubbornly, "As long as they are on this planet, we can't find them for a reason." ”

Mo Ye looked up at the sky, the trading airport was probably built in the atmosphere to avoid accidental injuries in the skirmishes that broke out from time to time in the starry sky.

The entire airport is covered by an invisible defensive net, which is very tightly protected.

"Master, this trade airport is built on the space station, and it can set sail out of the planet's atmosphere at any time if necessary. ”

Mo Ye closed her eyes and recalled the appearance and construction style of Boulder City in her mind, even if Xiao Qi told her at this time that Boulder City could take off in the next second, she would believe it.

When the two of them walked into the fourth inner circle, the atmosphere of the entire port had changed drastically, and the grocery market, which had been lively and noisy just a moment ago, had now plummeted in the flow of people, and it was so quiet that it was almost cold.

There are no more shouts for business, no small advertising cursors flying around the streets, wide streets, scattered passers-by, and empty to make people think that they have come to an abandoned warehouse that has been emptied.

The two of them underwent a full security check at the entrance, and weapons with energy markings above C level were forbidden to be carried on their bodies, which meant that people walking here could only wear a small laser pistol at most after excluding space equipment, or the kind of non-military firearm with a range of less than two hundred meters.

It's not so much to protect buyers and sellers here as it is to keep the trading port safe and functioning.

"It is said that two years ago, there were no weapons controls here, and there was a vicious incident of piracy and robbery, which caused countless casualties, and since then the defense level has been raised several steps. ”

Yan An looked left and right and smiled, "If you can, I think the management of the trading port would prefer to bring forbidden bracelets to everyone." ”

It didn't matter whether Mo Ye could bring weapons or not, two groups of guards guarded and carefully verified the identity information and access cards of the two of them.

The guard on duty handed back the pass card "Permission to enter." ”

Until the two walked away, the young guard on duty was still staring at the backs of the two.

"What's wrong?"

The guard shrugged, "I don't know, it's just that those two people give me a very familiar feeling, maybe I've seen it there, especially ......"

The young guard straightened his chest and exhaled a long breath, but he didn't say anything, especially when the thin girl looked up at him just now, just a glance made him feel like his heart was almost stopping, and it was just a casual glance that made him so nervous that he couldn't breathe, and it was an indescribable sense of oppression.

"I don't know, it's stressful. ”

"Hehe, don't forget where we are, how can there be people who are not powerful in the war zone. "My teammates know the guards

Also, the guard on duty took a deep breath and nodded, too, it is normal to encounter powerful and dangerous big people here.

But that man.

Just when he was restless, another group of people came to the gate.

This time it was a group of six, and the face could not be seen clearly while wearing a mask and could not distinguish the gender, and the group with an average height of more than two and a half meters gave a lot of pressure to the guards.

The keen guard, who was still immersed in the spiritual influence brought by the ink night just now, stood stiffly at the moment, like a statue.

The mask's brown cloudy eyes looked at the guard, "Dear Mr. Guard, please hurry, we're in a hurry." The high-pitched, harsh, provocative sound was like a fingernail scraping against glass, making the eardrums tremble.

All the guards seemed to be pressed against the arteries by sharp claws for a moment, unable to move, and their lives were being held tightly by a sense of crisis.

Gripping his weapon tightly, he was ready to ring the alarm, but his body was uncontrollably unable to move.

The person at the front of the line beckoned, "Don't waste time." ”

The man staring at the guard retracted his gaze and smiled, "If you're lucky, you'll be able to work better next time we meet." ”

After taking a few steps, one of them suddenly stopped and asked, "Have you seen these two people pass by before?"

As he spoke, he showed the images of Mo Ye and Yan An in the light screen to the guards.

"Nope. The guard bit his lip and didn't want to speak, but he couldn't stop his actions at all.

The young guard's heartbeat, which had been stiff, had almost stopped, and he had seen it, although the outfit was a little different, although the face was difficult to see because of the hood and the big fur collar sweater, but, yes, it was the two men.

The young guard stood stiff and motionless, trying to control his rapid heartbeat, but for some reason the more it did, the faster his heartbeat accelerated, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

The man who had already walked over suddenly turned around and walked back, his brown pupils tightly locked on the young guard.

At this time, all the guards raised their guns in unison, trying to sound the alarm but could not succeed, as if they were stuffed into a bubble that isolated all the areas.

"I'm guessing you've seen these two, right?"

The guards were in danger of their lives, but no one could see what they were doing, and a transparent sphere like a soap bubble wrapped around the entrance.

The sporadic movement of people could not see what was happening inside the sphere, nor was it affected by the comings and goings, except that the guards seemed to be more reticent and indifferent than usual.

"Don't try to avoid or deceive me, tell me the answer, you and your teammates are free, everything will be back to normal and no one will be harmed, I promise, but if you don't tell the truth......"

The demagogic words echoed in the young guard's mind, the sharp nails as sharp as knives sliding up and down his neck.

"Yes, I saw them, and the two of them headed northwest of the port to the Fifth District......"

When the guard finished his last word, his dangling leg finally landed on the ground.

"You see, it's good to be obedient, and no one will be harmed. ”

The transparent bubbles disappeared, and so did the group.

The guards standing in place look at me, I look at you, there is a feeling of sudden fragmentation, as if something important has been forgotten.

Andy touched his neck, and for some reason suddenly had the illusion and pain of being pinched by someone.

He has always been extremely alert, which is why he joined the army from an ordinary pauper to become an elite scout.

Guarding the port during the annual rotation break is actually an easier and safer job than going to the front line, but at this time, he seems to have experienced a life-and-death battle, which is difficult to calm down.

It's unusual, but I can't think of it.

On the ground not far from the entrance and exit gates, the corpses of two mechanical mosquitoes and flies mixed with the dust on the surface, and the wind blew and disappeared.

Mo Ye looked at the two small green marks that disappeared from the light screen in front of his eyes on the right side, and frowned, "Xiao Qi, there are two mechanical mosquitoes and flies that have lost contact, at the entrance." ”

"Master, already on track. ”

"The mechanical mosquitoes could not be recovered, the activation command was rejected, and the preliminary judgment was that they were dead. ”

Mo Ye's footsteps paused slightly, "Was it discovered by the guards?"

"Impossible, if it was found that the last frame of the transmitted frame should not be like this.

Hearing this, Yan An watched the last scene of the mechanical mosquito and fly transmission twice, and turned his head to look at Mo Ye, "It wasn't the guards who killed it, I think those guards may have encountered some trouble just now." ”

To the confusion of the two, nothing happened at the entrance, and the alarm at the trading port did not sound, as if nothing had happened as usual.

It was this seemingly normal situation that made Mo Ye immediately realize that something was not right.

"Something is wrong, you feel it, don't you?"

Without Luo Meizi's premonition ability like a divine beast, the two of them could also smell the unusual sense of crisis in the air.

The guards who seemed to be standing guard as usual, the streets were still deserted, and everything looked the same as the many cold and reserved traders in the outer ring.

Mo Ye remembered the email from the helpers, and it was likely that another group of people were looking for them.

Yan An was chatting with the shopping guide who had just met.

"This is your first time at the Boulder Trading Port. "The shopping guide who led the way is very discerning, and he has just come into contact with him for a short time, and he understands the situation in a few words.

Yan An only smiled and said nothing, Mo Ye was silent without any response, her spiritual power spread out like a net, and she carefully entered the state of harmony.

"Don't worry, the security here is comparable to a military fortress, you can trade with confidence, if you can supply in large quantities, I can help you get a good price, and even find a way to reduce the transaction tax. ”

"You don't know what we're trying to sell. ”

"Your Excellency, don't laugh, since you can enter the fourth circle of the port trading platform, the goods you can get your hands on must have enough value, otherwise it is impossible to get the admission ticket. ”

Yan An stretched out his hand and opened his palm, and the metal ore placed on the palm of his hand flashed in front of the shopping guide's eyes.

The shopping guide, whose pupils dilated instantly, almost couldn't help but reach out and take it.

"It's... It's ......"

"That's right, this is the goods we intend to sell this time, the high-quality Reid Fire Gold Mine, which is one of the most efficient and efficient metal raw materials used in military small arms manufacturing, which can greatly increase the attack power of weapons. ”

The shopping guide took a deep breath to stabilize his tone, and he saw a large amount of energy mines beckoning to him, "Can you ensure that the supply is sufficient?"

"It depends on how big your appetite is. ”

Yan An and the shopping guide chatted about speculation, and Mo Ye's spiritual power was busy spreading around, and there were saint-level powerhouses here.

This is the news that Yan An has heard before, and it is not a secret, or the news itself has the intention of spreading to deter outsiders.

There are saint-level powerhouses, more than one, Mo Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, interrupting the conversation between Yan An and the shopping guide.

"How many saint-level powerhouses do you have here, how many are there at most, when will they appear?"

This question came suddenly, the shopping guide was stunned for a moment, thinking that the two of them were worried about the safety and security of the large transaction, and quickly replied, "The two Sage Masters will take turns to sit in the town, sometimes both of them will be at the same time, you can completely put a hundred hearts on the safety of the transaction, what we want to do is to buy and sell for a long time, and you don't need to worry about being ......."

What the shopping guide said next, Mo Ye didn't listen to it at all.

"Is there only two?" Mo Ye muttered in a low voice, then it wasn't just the people sitting here, his fingers were opened one by one, one, two, three, four, five were counted on his fingers, and it was not enough.

Yan An looked at Mo Ye standing beside him and suddenly began to count with his fingers, not quite understanding what was going on, and cast a puzzled look, "Mo Mo?"

"Seven. ”

"What?"

"Count me, there are at least seven saint-level powerhouses in this trading port. ”

Yan An held his breath for a moment, this sudden concentration of several Sages in a trading port was definitely not a normal situation.

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm. Mo Ye nodded without hesitation.
