Chapter 65: Ionian Clouds
Five days later, the four Pittwolf research vessels arrived at the coastal harbor of Ionia without incident, saving five days from the original 30-day mission cycle. Due to www.biquge.info abundant time, Chen Yin decided to go to the city of stars in Ionia to visit the prophet of Soraka, who had saved his life.
At the same time, Chen Yin compiled some speculations after the exploration of the sea and the news of the destruction of the Kaima Clan into a letter, and asked Colin to return to the academy first and hand it over to the Weapon Master or the Old Man of the Sword Master. So after a short rest for the research team, Colin set off with the fleet and returned to the Pitover Federation, he needed to pass through the Pitover City's teleportation array before he could return to the academy to hand in the mission, after all, the Pittover Federation is the mission employer, and it makes sense to use their teleportation array.
In addition, before the fleet left Ionia, Senior Academician Wilson of the Institute of Oceanography had already paid the bounty amount for this mission at one time, except for Chen Yin's funds were directly handed over to the mission office of the War College, the commissions of other adventurer teams and mercenaries were settled separately, after settling the mission commission, because the mission had been completed, many people chose to leave in the port of Ionia and did not return to Pitover with the fleet.
Before parting at the port, Academician Wilson solemnly bowed and said goodbye to Chen Yin and Akali, and handed Akali a purple-gold card with both hands, and Akali took it without hesitation. This card made Chen Yin very curious.
After the fleet moved away from the port, Chen Yin couldn't help but ask Akali what the card was for. Akali looked at Chen Yin in some surprise, but he didn't expect that he didn't even know this, but Akali still explained it to Chen Yin.
It turned out that with the exception of Noxus and Ferreljord, there were banks opened by the Pittwolf Federation in all the Federations, including the War College, such as Pittwolf, Ionia, Demacia, Jodel, and Zaun. This kind of card issued in Pittover belongs to the bank's fund storage card, some large amounts of funds can be stored in the bank in advance and exchanged for the corresponding amount of cards, and the card can be used to trade at Pittover banks in various places.
No way!! Chen Yin let out an exclamation again in his heart, this Pitover Federation is really no different from the modern country in the previous life, even the bank has appeared, however, Chen Yin usually has very little place to spend money, and besides, there are also a lot of gold and silver coins accumulated over the years in his Time and Space Ring, so he really didn't pay attention to the fact that there is a Pittover Bank in the area of the War College.
"Thank you, thank you, I really don't know if you don't say it, it turns out that there is such a thing as a bank card." Although Akali fully understood the role of cards when talking about the bank opened by Pittwolf, the necessary courtesy and gratitude still had to be sufficient.
"You're welcome. Where are you going next? Why not return to Pittover with the fleet? Akali asked faintly. As a pruner in charge of conquest and killing, Akali has been trained in a strong psychological quality since she was a child, and the two of them kissing each other in the deep sea to save themselves are considered by Akali to be a necessary means to survive, so Akali does not take this matter to heart. But when she saw that Chen Yin did not leave with the fleet, she was still a little puzzled, could it be that this Chen Yin, because of the events in the deep sea that day, what thoughts and intentions did she have? Thinking of this, Akali's face and tone also turned a little cold.
Chen Yin didn't seem to notice Akali's cold tone and expression, he said with a smile, "I'm going to go to the City of Stars, a few years ago, when I was crippled and worse than dead, Lord Soraka saved my life, and she left afterwards, so I didn't even have a chance to say thanks." Now that I've passed through the Ionian Federation, I'm sure I'm going to visit and thank her. ”
Hearing Chen Yin's answer, Akali breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. The other party is also the most well-known elite student of the War College no matter what, and his worries just now are superfluous, and he has no other thoughts about himself. However, since the age of 8, only he has seen the appearance under his face scarf, not even his two senior brothers. Moreover, this matter is implicated in the rules of the cultivators' faction, should I tell him not to talk and forget about that matter in the future?
Seeing that Akali was in a daze, Chen Yin touched Akali's head and said, "What are you thinking?" The other day we were trying to save each other, don't think too much, and I have a girlfriend, so let's forget about that night. Still, I would like to thank you deeply for going down to find me despite the danger. ”
Rao is an extremely tenacious female ninja like Akali, and she almost crooked her nose when she was angry by Chen Yin's words. Who the hell thinks too much?? Also, do you have a girlfriend or not, you also deliberately emphasized it. This guy,It's really infuriating.。。
After raising her hand and knocking off the claw on her head, Akali looked at Chen Yin and said, "Very good, I hope you remember what you said today, I have long forgotten what happened that day." Then let's leave it at that! ”
After turning around and taking two steps, Akali turned around and added, "Also, please don't be too presumptuous, I heard someone shouting that a pig fell into the sea that night, and I went into the sea to search for the pig, not you, so please don't be grateful." Goodbye, there will be no date later! ”
After saying these words, a green shadow floated away, leaving only Chen Yin, who was standing in place in a daze.
Wait, what did she just say?? She said to go into the sea to save the pigs?? She even said I was a pig? After Chen Yin figured out Akali's last sentence, he began to smile bitterly, Akali, this little woman, really doesn't lose at all.
When Chen Yin arrived at the City of Stars, it was already approaching evening, and Chen Yin, who had been enjoying the scenery and humanistic atmosphere along the way, did not notice that two figures had been falling in the distance behind him.
After coming to the City of Stars, seeing that it was getting late, Chen Yin decided to visit Soraka again tomorrow, so he found a medium-sized hotel and stayed first, the two shadows followed Chen Yin into the hotel after following him far away, one of them said, "I'm guarding here, you go back and tell the boss that the target has entered the hotel, and ask what to do next." ”
This dark shadow began to return along the same path, after returning to the port, and sneaking into the cabin of a merchant ship docked on the shore, this dark shadow saw that the cabin was full of people, including his own boss was also among them, when everyone's eyes looked at him in unison, he broke out in a cold sweat, but his boss relieved him, beckoned to him, and he walked over like a saved.
After reporting Chen Yin's whereabouts all the way in the ear of the boss, his boss opened his mouth and said, "Little San, you have done a very good job in this matter, you will go to the old fisherman's tavern in the port to find a few more brothers, go back and continue to stare at him, and after taking over this new task today, we will gather people to do him." ”
The boss of this junior turned hideous when he said that he was Chen Yin, and a long scar on his eye kept shaking as his face changed. Not long after the junior received the order to walk out of the merchant ship, the people in this cabin also waited for their real mission employer.
"Leaders of mercenary groups and adventure groups, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." A voice appeared in the cabin along with a condensed phantom. When this phantus appeared, none of the leaders in the entire cabin noticed it, and this hand alone shocked everyone present.
When the phantom was completely solidified, a tall ninja wearing a black ninja suit, with his hands behind his back and his back to everyone, appeared.
"That's the time you issued a bounty of 5 million gold coins, asking powerful mercenary groups and adventure groups to participate in attacking a dark force's Mr. Shinobi?" One of the more than 30 bosses in the room asked.
"Yes, I'm Mr. Shinobi, in addition to paying a part of the deposit to meet with you today, I also need to confirm some specific matters with the leaders." The tall black-clothed ninja slowly turned around, clapped his palms and said.
After he finished clapping his palms, two figures reappeared in this venue, and, the two of them carried a large box, and after putting the box on the long table in front of them, the two figures bowed to the tall black-clothed ninja, the black-clothed ninja nodded, and the two disappeared in an instant again.
With a slight dip, the tall black-clothed ninja jumped onto the table, and under the gaze of everyone, he kicked open the lid of the large box, a piece of golden light shone, and the eyes of everyone in the shaking cabin narrowed slightly.
"This is 100,000 gold coins, so that the leaders can reward their subordinates for their deposits. In addition, there are details about this mission, so let's take a look at the leaders. As he spoke, the black-clothed ninja took out a few parchment rolls from his bosom and threw them at the nearby leaders.
After everyone looked around, they all looked at each other, and then another boss stood up and asked, "Mr. Shinobi, as you said in this task order, we need to arrange the manpower in three days, and after gathering to the position you mentioned, you will hand over 50% of the entire commission to us in the form of bank cards, and the rest will not be paid until the end of the task?" ”
"What? Does the chief have any objections to this? The black-clothed ninja looked at the boss who stood up and said.
The man who stood up said again, "The main thing is that this deposit is a little small, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain it to the brothers." As he spoke, the boss looked at the box in front of him with greedy eyes.
The black-clothed ninja looked around and asked, "Is that what the rest of the leaders mean?" Then, most of them nodded.
The black-clothed ninja clapped his hands again, and at this time, 8 ninjas came from the door of the cabin one after another, and each of them carried a large box and put it on the long table and opened it in turn, so that counting the large box on the table, it was a total of 500,000 gold coins. The greed in the eyes of the surrounding leaders became even stronger.
The tall black-clothed ninja looked at the expressions of this group of people, and the corners of his mouth under the scarf sneered slightly, and then said, "This is 500,000 gold coins in front of you, and the leaders please distribute them according to the strength of their own team." According to the industry rules, 10% of the meeting deposit is in line with the rules. I hope that in three days, everyone will be at the agreed place. The list of your adventure parties and mercenary groups is already here, and I don't want to miss the appointment, which is not good for each other!! That's it, everyone, see you in three days!! ”
With that, the tall black-clad ninja and eight of his men disappeared into the cabin. After that, there was a commotion and noise in the cabin, and the bosses of the various teams were fighting for the vested interests in front of them. Under the maintenance of one of the very powerful mercenary group leaders, the people in this cabin finally divided the five boxes of gold coins according to the size and strength of their respective teams.
At the same time, the same scene took place in the other largest port on the north side of Ionia, except that there were relatively few mercenary groups here, and only the leaders of 7 or 8 teams gathered here. Without looking at the leader, just looking at the guards, you can know that the strength of this group of people is very strong, because the guards behind all the leaders exude a faint smell of killing and blood. These temperaments can only be found in those elite veterans who have been fighting on the front line all year round.
She'd recognized Sivir if she was here, all of whom were famous and murderous figures in the Valoran mercenary world.
The number one "Corpse Keeper" mercenary group, the boss of the Corpse Keeper, this person is shrouded in a black cloak all year round, with a turban on his face, and no one knows his true appearance.
The second-ranked "Nightmare" mercenary group, the boss didn't realize it, this is a young man with a pale face and a smile on the corner of his mouth at all times, but everyone who knows this person knows that this person has mental attack skills, and the killing methods are very cruel, even if they can escape in their hands, most of them will fall into a state of schizophrenia for the rest of their lives.
The fourth-ranked "Evil Wolf" mercenary group, the boss of the Evil Wolf, is said to have grown up in the wolf pack since he was a child, with a bloodthirsty and murderous personality, and likes to eat raw meat, many people say that he also eats human flesh......
The rest of the 5th "Crazy Knife" Corps, the 6th "Fengwu" Corps, the 7th "Angry Blade" and the 8th "Thorn" Corps are all gathered here.
Except for the third-ranked "Bloody War" mercenary group that Xavier was in at the beginning. Seven of the top ten mercenary groups in the Valoran Continent have gathered here.
