The musicians began to play, the party officially began, and the guests present all had their own interests, and everyone dispersed in twos and threes to find a more private place to discuss business.

Herber led a few guests up the stairs, and not far away, the high-ranking Krent officials also pulled a few people upstairs from the other side.

Seeing this scene, Han Xiao couldn't help but squint his eyes thoughtfully.

"The Overlord is an ally with the Krent, and he has secretly defected to the Red Empire, perhaps the Krents have also become friends of the Red Empire, and earlier than the Overlord. After all, if the Red Empire wants to win over the forces of the Shattered Star Ring, the most priority choice should be the star cluster-level civilization, and the Krents were first co-opted before recommending the allied war domain. The Overlord introduced the envoy to the Dragon Throne and the Spell Master, and it is likely that the Krent asked him to come forward to communicate with the super A-level powerhouse......"

Han Xiao's thoughts flew around, so that among the seven major star cluster civilizations of the Broken Star Ring, the Krent Empire was likely to have taken refuge in the Red Empire.

In connection with the plot of the previous life, the main line of version 3.0 [Red Tide] is that the expansion of the Red Empire has caused turmoil in all star fields, and the Broken Star Ring is no exception, but a lot of chaos is not directly caused by the Red Empire, but the forces of each star field are doing things themselves.

At that time, the player didn't know the inside story, but now, Han Xiao has connected the two...... Perhaps the forces that make trouble in [Red Tide] are behind the instructions of the Red Empire, and they are all involved in mobilizing the whole body and deliberately causing chaos in the interstellar pattern.

Heber did not introduce Su Yi to all the guests, it should be that the Red Empire does not want to be too public, and may only privately interview representatives of some powerful forces, just like yesterday's super A-level meeting.

"The turmoil has already begun to brew......"

Han Xiao shook his head silently, according to his calculations, the impact of the Red Empire's actions will not appear in version 2.0 for the time being, and the biggest possibility is that it will gradually occur in the more than ten years of the update of version 2.0, and then evolve into 3.0 [Red Tide].

At present, it is still in the early stage of version 2.0, in addition to Aquamarine Star players, players from other novice planets are still playing mud, and there are still a few years before the version update, during this time, the possibility of a major event is very low.

The original main story of the Aquamarine Star player is the battle between Dark Star and Godora, and Dark Star has collapsed, and his own Black Star Legion has become the player's new main line, and the plot has become a semi-free exploration mode, so players will basically not encounter too many events in 2.0.

This is the perfect time to develop the camp.

Technician Han was thinking about it, and Rossos came over.

"Blackstar, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"What do you suggest, Lord Rossos?"

Han Xiao came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and bowed his head.

Rossos habitually rubbed the small tentacles of his chin and said, "I want to invest in Longtan and your Black Star Legion, maybe we should carefully discuss the terms of cooperation." ”

Han Xiao's eyes lit up, hey, I'm lucky, I'll send money again!

Glancing back, Ames did not object, and instructed Han Xiao to deal with it with all the powers, and Han Xiao pulled Roseos to the side, and the two talked about the details.

It didn't take long for the two of them to quickly finalize the investment plan, which was similar to the terms of the Norrios consortium, which provided resources to Longtan and the Black Star Legion for a long time in exchange for other returns.

Investing in armed forces has always been an important investment for big conglomerates, and Rossos is no exception, finalizing the details and walking away satisfied.

The official contract and money will be sent after the party, and Han Xiao is quite happy, so that the Black Star Legion will have an additional sponsor, which will be very helpful for the development of the camp. The Norrios Consortium and the Roseos Consortium, these two are the financiers behind the Black Star Legion for the time being.

"Blackstar."

At this time, someone next to him called him.

Han Xiao turned his head to look over, and the person who spoke was Austin, who came to him with a group of followers and forbidden witches.

"Your Excellency, what are you looking for me?" Facing the super A-level, Han Xiao's eyes were quite solemn.

Austin didn't speak, smiled faintly, spread out his palm, and a deep blue light lit up in his palm, turning into a whirlpool, and soon, the light disappeared, and a small gray ball appeared in his palm.

Han Xiao fixed his eyes and saw that this small ball was not an entity, it was actually a gray mist, churning endlessly, but it was bound and compressed by some kind of force, maintaining the shape of the small ball.

"This is ......" Han Xiao was a little puzzled, unsure of Austin's intentions.

Austin played with the gray mist ball and said slowly: "Once, my spirit body traveled to a secondary plane at the phantom level, and encountered a powerful and strange Void Lord, which almost eroded my spirit body, and was finally defeated by me, this is the essence core left over after the dissipation of the Void Lord, I want to give it to you." ”

Han Xiao was stunned.

The core essence of the Void Lord, this is an extremely rare thing, and almost only a mage can collect this material.

Traveling to the secondary planes is an ability only possessed by high-level mages, and they can often get their hands on all kinds of strange items.

On profiteers...... Ahem, in terms of production capacity, the five major superpower systems are respected as magicians and mechanics, and in terms of collecting materials, magicians may be stronger than mechanics.

The mechanic is in a state of bankruptcy all the year round, and the magician is the opposite, a profession (enchantment) that can burn blue bars and make money at zero cost is simply an enemy of the people, and the dog mage is not barking for nothing.

Han Xiao knew very well that there was nothing to do, and he was either a traitor or a thief, and Austin suddenly gave a gift, what did it mean? He won't pry the corner like Hebber, Heber takes the first railway line, could it be that Austin takes the euphemistic route?

"Why give it to me?"

"Because I feel like you probably need it more than I do." Austin blinked.

Hearing this, Han Xiao suddenly had an idea.

By the way, yesterday when I applied the observation mark to Sue, I was discovered by Austin.

Could it be that this is the reason?

"You are not a magician, but you can use the Void Energy, it seems that you have been corrupted by the Void Gene, most of the species that were corrupted by the Void eventually became monsters, but you have controlled it and turned it into your own ability, your luck is very good, in this case, the Void Lord's essence core can enhance this ability, so that you can get stronger power......" Austin confirmed Han Xiao's guess.

Austin didn't know that Han Xiao had a player panel, in his opinion, Black Star was able to use Void energy, which was nothing more than being eroded by the Void Gene, and the Longtan Floating Island happened to be buried with the bones of the Void Dragon Clan, so he thought that he had guessed what happened, so he wanted to help Ames's cadres.

Anyway, it's just a gesture for him.

"......" Han Xiao had no choice but to cough, acquiescing to Austin's statement, and groaning secretly.

He is already a Void Race, and the Void Lord's essence core can enhance the strength of the Void Gene, improve his attributes, and, in the next race sublimation, there is a chance to cross the next stage of the evolutionary chain and directly enter the later stage, and a more powerful Void Species option appears.

The usefulness is indeed not small, it is a good thing, and the rarity belongs to the level of price and no market.

"What do I have to give?" Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, although he was moved, he knew that there was no merit.

Austin had a huge amount of resources, and the core essence of the Void Lord was just a drop in the bucket, but he didn't feel the need for Austin to give it to himself.

Even though Austin was a cadre who helped Ames for the sake of her face, Han Xiao was unwilling to rashly accept the kindness of a strange super A-level.

His relationship with Austin has not yet reached the point where he is comfortable accepting gifts.

"This is for you, you don't need it, well......" Austin seemed to think of something, and only halfway through his words did he suddenly change his words, "Maybe one day in the future, I need your help, so this should be regarded as an advance payment." ”

"Sounds good, as long as it doesn't go against my position and principles."

"Of course."

Han Xiao nodded, took the core of the Void Lord, and took a look.

[The essence of the Void Lord: The core of the high-level Void life, containing high-quality Void energy, it is very precious, many magicians will shout a high price for it, you can also give it to some special people to trigger tasks, and you can even eat it, as long as you are not afraid of stomach trouble...... Oh, I mean corrupted by the Void]

Han Xiao put the things in his pocket, and then thanked Austin with his chin.

Austin smiled slightly, his face looked cute, and said slowly: "Heber lacks roots, Ames doesn't care, I know your potential better than them, maybe one day, you will break away from the dragon seat and stand on your own, this star field, there has been no new legend for too long...... I will always watch you and don't let me down. ”

Without waiting for Han Xiao to answer, Austin turned around and walked away with the forbidden witch.

Han Xiao's face was strange.

Austin didn't have much of a fight, and his attitude was very kind, leaving him with a good impression, but what he said in the last one made him feel like facing the elders inexplicably......

……

During the party, the big people present all had their own business to talk about, the guests chatted energetically, and occasionally someone asked Han Xiao to talk about some topics, but not frequently.

Except for Rossos and Austin, the other people who came to talk were basically chatting, Han Xiao was also happy, when no one was chatting, Han Xiao and Ames enjoyed food and wine in the corner, chatting and laughing.

With the passage of time, the party gradually came to an end, everyone basically got the information or cooperation agreement they wanted, and Han Xiao also overheard some information that was not confidential, but ordinary people could not know it, after all, all the people present were big people, and the information that was revealed casually was of great value.

And in a private room upstairs, Su Yi, the envoy of the Red Empire, had already made private appointments with one big man after another......
