Chapter 3: The Karumun Chamber of Commerce

The Kielung Arms Chamber of Commerce exudes an oppressive aura as always. It's no wonder that the room, which is not very well lit, is deliberately decorated with metal plates in a dull color of gray and black, although it is equipped with a guiding light, but it seems that because of the age, the white light looks particularly weak in a lifeless gray.

Moreover, there are all kinds of hideous weapons everywhere, machine guns, rifles, pistols, axe guns, war halberds, machetes, knives, broadswords, maceheads, and even crossbows and bows that have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history.

Originally, because of this oppressive atmosphere, people didn't want to come, coupled with the cold attitude of the boss Kirunde...... As a result, although it is a weapon chamber with excellent quality products, there are very few visitors.

Click.

Someone pushed open the door of the Kilowd Arms Chamber of Commerce.

But the boss of Kirund didn't even look at it, didn't even say a word of welcome, but just indignantly rummaged through the "Crossbell Time" in his hand, and made the pages of the book rattle, and everyone was piercing in the silent space.

"That...... The boss ...... "Lloyd greeted the boss weakly, after all, they came to buy weapons, and they didn't ask for a warm reception from the boss, but they still hoped that the boss could introduce them."

"See for yourself what you want. The price is posted underneath the thing. He didn't even raise his head, and from the tone of his voice, today's boss of Keelung was also angry.

"Aha...... Let's take it easy...... "Lloyd can only accept it: people are the boss, they can do what they want, Lloyd, as a guest, can only choose to buy or not, as for whether the boss wants to receive them, it is not up to them.

"Wow, this looks good." Randy wears the long orange trench coat he usually wears - this warm and bright color is said to increase the success rate of pick-ups - and he wears a special shock absorbing vest inside, and what he has his eye on at this time is a new axe gun, the blade of which is wider than the one Randy used before, and the energy box that provides guidance is equipped with two small auxiliary energy boxes in addition to the main energy box in the center.

Randy fiddled with it, and suddenly the tip of the axe blade stabbed out a conical head as long as half a sub-distance, a beautiful conical shape like the cavalry spears used by medieval cavalry. This shape can concentrate the power in one point and can effectively break through heavy armor.

Randy whistled excitedly, he was an expert in weapons, and he could see the value of this axe gun at a glance. This is a weapon against large monsters and heavily armed enemies. Although the support department can't show it yet, it will inevitably fight with large demonic beasts in the future, Randy looked at the price tag, and it was still within the affordable range.

Lloyd's choice of whirlrods is also a style that he has never seen before, heavy, steel cold rods have a hard feeling on the body, the whole is much heavier than the pair of whirlpools that Lloyd used before, but the center of gravity position is very subtly adjusted, so that the pair of whirling sticks increase the weight and strengthen the striking power at the same time, the operability does not become difficult.

The most rare thing is that this rotary stick is similar to the police style, or is it an upgraded version of the police rotary stick? In short, the characteristic "electric shock" function of the baton is still there, and the power has increased slightly. It may not be visible to a strong enemy, but against an ordinary enemy, electric shocks can effectively deprive the enemy of their mobility.

Ellie didn't feel anything bad about her old pistol, Dio had just gotten her new wand, and Lotus wasn't a combatant type, she didn't even have a usual weapon. Yu's weapons are just hand armor, it doesn't matter if you change them or not. As for the chain box, he did want to change it, but it didn't sell it in the store - it needed to be customized.

Kirund glanced at the weapons of the two lightly, snorted, took the money from the two, and stuffed it in his pocket without counting them. No matter how you look at it, it looks unpleasant.

"Hey, Lloyd, I feel like the boss has an unexpectedly bad temper today......"

Randy asked in a low voice as he leaned over Lloyd's shoulder.

It's just that in this space where the echo effect is good and no one dares to speak, this "low voice" is extremely harsh.

"Feeling bad?"

The boss of Kelond has a dark face as if he can extract ink, if someone really invents this weird technology, I am afraid that the boss of Kelond alone can support the ink consumption of the whole Cross Bell.

Why, is it possible that you still want to deny it?

Although Randy wanted to say this, but seeing the face of Boss Kirond, he wisely chose to shut up.

"I'm not just in a bad mood, I'm going crazy!"

The sound of gnashing teeth can feel the resentment of the owner of the voice as if it were a volcanic eruption just by listening to it.

"Well, we're from the Special Mission Support Division of the Police Department...... "Lloyd said that he couldn't leave it alone, so he wanted to ask for the detailed reason, and I just happened to be able to do some publicity.

"I know!"

"Uh...... If there is any trouble, if it is convenient, you can talk to us, and we will try our best to help you solve it......"

Being yelled at by Kirund, Lloyd instinctively wanted to back down, but he was halfway through the words, and now it was too late to change his words, so he could only bite the bullet.

"Huh? Haunt? Kirund sneered, his eyebrows trembling with anger, and a green tendon suddenly jumped on his forehead because he was holding back his anger.

"That's not a bother! It's anger! It's angry! Bastard! Karumun Arms Chamber of Commerce? No kidding! It's just a bunch of warmongers! Terrorist! It's still blatantly opening a store?! There are still legal documents issued by the government of the autonomous region? Stop it! Just a bunch of war maniacs with no bottom line! The autonomous prefecture government is too, how dare they give them a certificate of conformity? Aren't you afraid that they will really attack the garrison! These guys ......"

The more the Kilond boss talked, the more angry he became, and he didn't stop complaining even after he started.

Lloyd smiled bitterly, complaining in his heart about what he was doing to be nosy, while sorting out the information he knew.

However, everyone in the excitement has a common characteristic, that is, the speech is disorderly and noisy, and it is difficult for people to extract the core idea. The boss of Kilund complained for ten minutes, and Lloyd basically came up with two pieces of information: 1. The Karumun Arms Chamber of Commerce has officially opened, and there are legal documents issued by the autonomous state government. 2. The location of the Karumun Arms Chamber of Commerce is located in the Old Town.

The boss of Kirund complained for a while, and seeing Lloyd's apologetic expression, he cut off rather dissatisfied, put away his complaints, and said, "What's the use of telling you this...... That's it, I won't charge you for today's weapons. Consider it your reward for listening to my grumblings. ”

Saying this, the boss of Kirund casually pulled a stack of mira from his wallet and pushed it in front of Lloyd, he was just about to push it, but the boss of Kirund just looked unkind, Lloyd was startled, where did he dare to shirk, and directly put the money away.

"The ......"

"It's all said to be your reward!"

The boss of Kirund roared again, and Lloyd's hand that had originally taken the money trembled, seeing that he was so uncooperative, Lloyd could only reluctantly accept the money - the money that the boss of Kirond gave them was more than the money they paid for weapons.

Moreover, it was obvious that the boss of Kilond had vented his troubles, but Lloyd was not happy at all now.

To say why...... Among the companions, except for Hexu, who didn't know what the Karuman Consortium was, the others all had heavy expressions. Although I want to start exchanging information immediately, I can't do it in front of the boss of Keerunde. If this person heard the name of the Karuman Foundation, he would probably jump straight up, right?

However, from a different point of view, the boss of Keelung is also a very honest businessman. The first time I met the Support Section, I also advised them not to buy weapons. The Karuman consortium commissioned him to sell oversized heavy machine guns, which he flatly refused. And when he hears about the Karumun Chamber of Commerce, a terrorist organization dressed as a merchant, he will be indignant and indignant.

He's a good guy -- if only his attitude could be better......

Lloyd thought a little helplessly, and led the support section out the door.

The support section building is very close to the Kirund Arms Chamber of Commerce, how close is it? There is only a step away...... I wonder if Chief Sergei chose this building as the departmental building of the Support Section, and whether he also took this into account?

With a heavy heart, the group returned to the Support Section, and before they could sit down, Ellie was already sighing.

"It's actually opened......

She was a little disheartened by the current situation of Cross Bell, to be honest. After all, in just a few days, she had seen too much of the dark side. Ellie didn't realize it when she was a student, but Ellie saw so much darkness at once when she was a police officer, which made it very difficult for her to accept.

"It's hard to imagine what would happen if that kind of thing was sold publicly." Tiou's face also turned blue, probably because she was worried as a researcher, and her first reaction was how much more bloodshed time would be added after the mass production of that kind of weapon.

There are two types of researchers, the first is to do whatever it takes to do research, no matter what the world will become or how much karma it will cause, and the researchers of the Karuman Consortium are a prime example. Such researchers are often able to create extremely high-performing inventions.

The second is to think about what your research is for, and is it really good to do so? Theo is one of those people—even if she doesn't see emotional tendencies in her usual days.

He Xu tilted her head for some reason, she had never heard the name of the Karuman Consortium at all. It's not good to interject casually. If she knew that the Karuman consortium was the developer of the heavy machine gun that had tormented her, what would have happened to her?

"Really, it's a bad thing...... That kind of guy, as long as he dares to open a business, it means that he will definitely do 'publicity'......" You looked unkind and frowned.

Of course, the propaganda in his mouth is not what ordinary people understand: handing out leaflets, starting a small song to attract attention, or finding a celebrity to recommend or something, but starting a war.

This can be seen from the bad behavior of the Karumun Arms Chamber in the past, hiring hunters or terrorists, giving them their latest weapons at ultra-low prices or even free trials, and then instigating them to attack the country's regular army, so as to prove that their weapons far exceed the level of weapons in service with the regular army, and then sell their weapons to the regular army when the regular army has a headache......

Crazy people do the same.

But it works. But from the perspective of earnings, the Karuman consortium is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more assets, which is the best proof.

It is precisely because of this that the Erebonian Empire and the Republic of Calvard were once dissatisfied with the actions of the Karumen Consortium, and the two great powers attacked at the same time, but they were beaten by the Karumen Consortium with an ultra-low battle loss rate of 1 to 100...... Indirectly helped the Karuman consortium to do publicity...... Although their methods have become more moderate since that incident, they have not abandoned the brutal and effective propaganda methods......

Yu is a Saiyaru like them, and Yu is also a killer, and he will inevitably have access to high-performance gunpowder weapons, and he knows better than the rest of the Support Section about the bad deeds of the Karumon Consortium.

Randy, on the other hand, kept his face gloomy and didn't speak. But it is not difficult to see from the tense muscles of his hands and the throbbing tendons in his hands that he is very angry now, if it weren't for the fact that everyone in the support department was there, I'm afraid he would really be carrying an axe and gun to find trouble with the Karuman Foundation.

"Those bastards...... What the hell do you want to do......

Randy muttered. It's not so much talking to yourself as it is saying your heart unintentionally. Anger makes it impossible for Randy to distract from controlling his vocal cords, and when he wants to say something, his vocal cords speak out in confusion.

Lloyd, on the other hand, pondered something. Listening to Randy's question next to him, he suddenly raised his head and said an astonishing sentence:

"Guys, how about we go to the Karumon Consortium for ourselves?"
