412. Traitor

As if frightened by Gao Shuai, the old man's soul fluctuated, and his voice trembled: "We have lived in the chaotic planetary belt for generations, because of the unique environment there, no one can survive for a long time except for our people. Not only can chaotic magnetic fields and a large number of cosmic rays trap passing ships, but this constant interference can also greatly damage the health and longevity of standard humans. Therefore, the Confused Planetary Belt is a notoriously uninhabitable place in the Frontier Wilderness. ”

Speaking of this, the old man regained his composure a little and continued: "But because of this, the Confused Planetary Belt is the best place outside the world in the border wilderness for us. She provided us with the most reliable protection from pirate raids or sudden wars. The Planetary Belt of Confusion is our mother, always guarding our Graddock. ”

"Gradock?" asked the tall marshal.

The old man explained, "Dear Patron, Gradock means hometown and pure land in our native language, and it is also the surname of all of us. ”

Seeing that Gao Shuai didn't continue to ask questions, the old man continued: "Because we are naturally sensitive to time and space, and are immune to the vast majority of interference from the cosmic background, we are the best guides, especially in places like the border wasteland, where there are a large number of unknown star fields. Therefore, although we live in seclusion in the chaotic planetary belt, there will still be a small number of excellent people who will go out and exchange their abilities for products that we cannot produce ourselves, such as some high-tech products, energy and mineral deposits. ”

"It is precisely because of our excellent performance in navigation that the borderlands call us living maps, the guides of the borderlands, and many caravans and even countries will hire us as navigators to ensure the safety of navigation in the unknown star fields. When the old man said this, he was quite proud in his words.

When Gao Shuai heard this, his heart was also moved. Due to various factors, the level of the second-class map is not high, and if you can have a good guide like a guide, you will have a great advantage in both general navigation and combat.

I have to say that the ability to guide the way is really attractive, and even Gao Shuai wants to recruit a few after hearing it.

"But it is precisely because of our unique ability that we have brought disaster in the end. The old man's words were full of remorse.

"Hunter?" asked Gao Shuai. If he had just listened to the ability of the guide and had the idea of soliciting, how could the hunter turn a blind eye?

The single attack power of the Soul Eater Shark is not as good as that of a level warship, so the hunter's combat method is very similar to the wolf pack tactics of Blue Star, which concentrates on destroying prey with numerical superiority, which tests the hunter's ability to master the complex terrain environment of the entire border wasteland.

Whether it's a hidden ambush before a hunt or a sporty pursuit during a hunt, the hunter must know everything on the battlefield better than the prey, so as to take full advantage of the speed and numbers of the Soul Eater Shark.

In this way, the importance of guides is obvious, and these natural navigators are a strategic resource that hunters desperately need.

With the character of a hunter, they naturally will not spend money honestly to hire, and raiding is their usual means. So you can imagine what the calamity of the guide is.

Gao Shuai's guess was correct, and he heard the old man tremble and say: "Hunter Gornax, the king of pirates in the wilderness! When he learned of the existence of our race, he led his huge and terrifying shark swarm to the Confused Planetary Zone, destroying our hometown and slaughtering all the people who did not obey! If it weren't for Lord Fedosia passing by and saving us, our race would have perished!"

Speaking of the hunter Gornax, the old man's soul trembled. It can be seen that the king of pirates who terrified the entire frontier has left an indelible terrifying memory for the old man.

The slaughter of the hunters was predictable, and if the guides were not available to the hunters, for the hunters, the race had to be eliminated, and the prey must not be allowed to get them.

It's just that Gao Shuai doesn't understand one thing, since the Confused Planet can only get lost when outsiders go in, how did the hunters carry out the slaughter on the home field of the guide?

"It's all because of that traitor!" said this, and the old man's soul turned red with anger.

"Nagel Graddock, he doesn't deserve the noble surname of Gradock at all! he is a disgrace to the Gradocs, an accomplice of the pirates, and an executioner of the slaughter of the Gradocs!" the old man's soul was about to turn crimson, and it looked like boiling lava.

"Because of Gradoc's protection, we never submit to anyone, including the six kings of the Frontier. They are incomparably formidable, but no fleet can navigate through Gradockles, let alone find and attack us. Although he was extremely angry, the old man's words still revealed great pride.

The old man does have the qualifications to be proud. In the border wasteland, even countries with star systems do not dare to disobey the wishes of the six kings, in fact, such an extremely aggressive king as the hunter Gornax, not to mention disobedience, even if he obeys, he may be attacked or even exterminated, there are countless examples of this.

Only those who rely on the natural danger of the Confused Planetary Belt are qualified to face the Six Kings on an equal footing.

"We have rejected the unreasonable demands of Gornax, our souls are free and will never accept the enslavement of pirates. But who knew that the traitor had betrayed the people who had given birth to him and raised him, and had led the hunters to break in!!10,000 years of glorious history of Gradock had been ruined!" The old man could not stop crying when he said this.

The soul can cry, just as the soul can be angry.

"Why did he betray his own people?" asked Gao Shuai.

When the old man heard this, he paused, his boiling soul gradually cooled down, and he was about to speak, when he listened to Gao Shuai's warning: "Don't try to deceive me, I can tell whether what you say is the truth or a lie." ”

Gao Shuai didn't lie, and the light of wisdom could indeed sense whether a soul was lying. For example, what the old man said before was the truth, but when Gao Shuai asked why Nagel betrayed, the old man had the idea of deception.

Facing Gao Shuai's gaze that could see through the soul, the old man's soul trembled, and finally said with difficulty: "Nagel's mother is my daughter, but his father is not surnamed Graddock. ”

Gao Shuai was stunned, it turned out that Nagel was of mixed race, and he was also the grandson of the old man, no wonder he wanted to deceive himself at first.

The old man's voice contained endless remorse, and painful recollection: "Agatha's dream is to go out and see the outside world, and she is the best guide in the clan, so I agreed." What she didn't expect was that when she came back, she was not only seriously injured, but also pregnant with a foreign child. ”

Speaking of this, the old man became angry again: "Nagel was born different from other children, whether in appearance or ability, he has been an outlier since he was a child. But I have never treated him badly, even if he was born to take away my Agatha!"

"You say Nagar doesn't have your innate abilities?" Gao Shuai asked with a frown when he heard this.

"Yes, sir. Nagel has only inherited the genes of our race's longevity, but he has been plagued by Graddock's chaotic magnetic fields and background radiation since he was a child, and he can even get lost when he leaves the house. The old man replied.

"And what does he use to show the way for the hunters?" asked Gao Shuai. The Light of Wisdom tells the old man that the old man is not lying, but how did a half-breed who did not inherit the ability of the Guiding Wizard lead the hunters to slaughter in the Confused Planetary Belt?

A strange square suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he called it Beidou. The old man recalled.

"Divine power module?" Gao Shuai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked up and looked ahead, in his senses, there happened to be a module driving towards him at high speed.
