Chapter 61: Checks and Balances
Director Yage patted the clothes on his body, Qin Yundui's discovery really shocked him, he didn't speak for a long time, just stared blankly at the window, and then brushed a handful of hair in front of his forehead, and said clearly, "Hmph, you really know a lot." β
Qin Yundui saw that his reaction was really unnatural, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Now should you tell me why you went to Hu Fengren's stronghold." β
"A stronghold?" said Director Yage with a smile, "then it's just a stronghold, a small workshop. β
Qin Yunwan didn't speak.
"Qin Yundui, do you know what a real stronghold is?"
Qin Yunwan shook his head.
"Actually, I've only met once, I'm not much older than you, I've only been to one stronghold, where there is a strong guard of the Hu Feng people, there are their unique weapons, there are many spiritual weapons that refine the black soul stone, of course, in a very mysterious place. β
"What is it," Qin Yun asked.
"I can't tell you yet," said Director Yager, "or if you do, you won't know where." This vast world, we live in, is only a continent, and beyond this vast world, there are countless vast oceans and lands that we have not yet explored. β
"Then how did you go to which stronghold before? Qin Yundui asked.
"There's no point in telling you this," Director Yage said, "Qin Yundu, most of the strongholds of the Hu Feng people are far away to the west, that is, the Huafan Island you went to before, and a similar location has been to the west, so you may be able to meet it." But you must not go. β
Qin Yunwan naturally wouldn't go over recklessly, but he still asked, "Why can't you go over." β
Director Yag let out a sinister laugh again, "Yo roar, let's not talk about anything else, first of all, you can't go, like you need an ocean vessel." β
"Our ancestors, or rather, before the frequent acceptance of natural disasters, our machine civilization reached a relatively high period, there were many ships that could conquer the seas, and there were many ships that could fly out of this earth, but these technologies died out because of natural disasters, but they were not unable to recover. β
"For example, if you want to travel far away to the stronghold of the Hu Feng people, then you must need powerful ships, and if you want to fight, then there is even more than one. β
Qin Yunwan nodded thoughtfully, "With our current military strength, it is indeed difficult. β
"That's right," said Director Yager, "but there are many arms tycoons on this continent, and they have a lot of potential in making equipment. β
Qin Yundui's mind immediately flashed to Second Master Dong, "No wonder, you will be with them." β
"But," Feng Xuan asked, "what is a large-scale manufacturing of ship weapons, and what are we making so many for?
"Hahaha," Director Yage laughed, "Are you too naΓ―ve, first of all, to suppress the Hu Feng people, and secondly, you can be sure that on this planet, there is only one race of Hu Feng people that threatens us? Have you ever thought that on the other side of this planet, there may be countless races living there, even if it is not to resist, we develop territories and look for resources, which one does not need these things?"
"So, do you think people like Dong Erye have use value?" Zou Yin said.
"It's not about exploitation, but now is definitely not the time to eradicate them. Yag said.
Qin Yunwan calmed down for a moment, and as he spoke, Director Yage pushed himself to the moral high ground, so he pulled the topic back again: "Then what are you going to that stronghold for?"
"Like your job, it's also to scout and understand the situation. Director Yager smiled again, "Why? Isn't it incredible? Actually, we're all doing the same job, and we've been trying to do it all the time. β
Qin Yunwan and the others did not speak.
Director Yage then spoke: "Qin Yundu, you can report everything that happened today to Commander An Tong, and you can ask him if this is the truth."
Our race has experienced countless natural disasters, and it has developed to the present, which is a blessing in misfortune, we must always be prepared for danger in times of peace, although the Hu Feng people have been marginalized, but we must always place their rise, so we must continue to become stronger. And on the way to becoming stronger, there are many problems to check and balance, such as the second master Dong you said, he is not an enemy now, he should be a partner, or a partner who can be used. β
Qin Yunwan nodded, although he was very hostile to Director Yage, what he said was completely reasonable. In other words, and after he is in a high position, the pattern of thinking will definitely be different from others.
"So, what kind of checks and balances?" Qin Yundui asked, "Do you think Second Master Dong will unite with you to suppress the Hu Feng people?
Director Yage smiled, "I'm afraid there will be a worse situation, that is, Second Master Dong and Hu Fengren will form a force." β
Everyone looked at each other thoughtfully.
"Qin Yundui, Commander An Tong can choose you, which means that you must have extraordinary abilities, and I also want to tell you an important clue, that is, many of Dong Erye's weapons have been integrated with the power of the Black Soul Stone, and in his underground arsenal, there are many secret weapons that we can't imagine. β
"Since it's a secret weapon, how do you know about it?" asked Qin Yundu.
"I know more clues than you do," Director Yag said. "The next passage I'm going to tell you is going to be important. β
"The reason why we Holy Spirit people become Holy Spirit people is because we have spiritual power, and we have the spirit of all things in our body, which may come from a plant, an animal, or an inorganic matter.
Hu Feng people want to develop the territory, want to expand resources, their central idea is to strengthen the black soul stone, if the quantity can not grow, then increase its quality, the black soul stone can link the soul power and spiritual power, is a powerful medium that can maintain the fusion of the two, once the black soul stone crystallization and refining, the energy provided is huge. β
Qin Yundui suddenly remembered that the Zong Chi Priest he met in the West Coast Prison could already use all kinds of vines to attack, which might be combined with the spiritual power of the mainland.
"The attack of soul power," Yage continued, "If you only look at it on the surface, it can be understood as black smoke, but in fact, Second Master Dong's secret base already has this kind of vigilance. β
The black smoke is not difficult to understand, Qin Yunwan recalled that many of the creatures that had been contaminated by the black soul stone before would have black smoke emitting from their bodies.
"Let's not talk about its aggressiveness, just being black will interfere, but in this world, there is a magic weapon that can dispel him, at least so that you will not be blinded by this black smoke. β
"Is it just for people to see?" asked Yu Fei.
"Yes," said Director Yager, "if the black smoke were to appear at the base, as a kind of fog, it would likely be trapped inside. β
"Base?" Qin Yunwan thought for a moment, "Is the base you said belongs to Second Master Dong? Do you want us to find that kind of treasure, and then explore Second Master Dong's base and suppress Second Master Dong? Is this also your means of checks and balances?"
"Yo roar," Director Yage spoke for a long time in a rare manner, and let out a debauched laugh, "Qin Yundui, Qin Yundui, you are really powerful, yes, it's up to you whether you go or not, but getting that treasure will do you no harm, you can consider it yourself." β
"Where is that treasure and what is its name?" Qin Yunwan asked.
"In a temple, on the hill in the northern town of Zhonggu, if I remember correctly, that place is called Xiaoqingchi, and I don't know what the name of the treasure is, but the people there should know it. What? You decided to look for it?"
"I'm just asking," Qin Yunwan said, "but if there is such a treasure, why don't you just go and get it?"
"Because I've only learned, and I can't be sure if it's true or not," said Director Yager, "but there should be nothing wrong with that, because that thing was left by a member of the Feather Clan." β
There was another silence, and seeing that there was no topic to talk about, Qin Yunwan and the others left.
That night, Qin Yunwan and the others gathered together again, Qin Yunwan told everyone about everything that happened this morning, and everyone's reaction was unexpectedly unanimous, they all thought that this Yage director was making up a high-sounding lie, and how great he described himself, it was better not to be completely gullible.
However, when it comes to Zhonggu Town, Brother Zou Yin and Yu Fei have more to talk about, although they were not born there, but after all, they were both born in the north, and they have all heard of that place - a very old town, and further north are groups of snow-capped mountains.
"Yun Dui, do you really want to go to that place?" asked Brother Zou.
Although Director Yager may not be completely convinced, when something is as he said, it is indeed harmless, and if we get that kind of treasure, it will be good for us in the future. Yu Fei said.
"Hmm," Qin Yunwan nodded, it seemed that he was actually interested in that thing as well. But what piqued his interest even more was that it was left by the previous members of the Feather Evil Group.
Qin Yunwan said to everyone, "We rarely rest, it's hard to come back, I don't want to ask everyone to set off to wander again, I want to understand the situation, you can take a short rest first." β
"I'll go with you," Feng Xuan said, "and I'll be a helper in case there's any danger." β
"If you want to go, let's go together," Wang Yuehan said, "Anyway, I don't want to stay, just go together, why do you want to be separated, no matter if he finds it or not, if you can't find it, we should travel there." β
Everyone should also go together, whether they want to go or go together, anyway, they are used to running around, as long as there is no trouble, it is considered rest, let alone tiredness.
Qin Yunwan looked at everyone and nodded with satisfaction. "Then it's a problem for everyone!"
