Chapter 12 Exchange

Vane sighed and said, "Time is not forgiving. ”

Jimmy was calm, he had never believed that the old man in front of him would die in that shipwreck. But since he has been invisible for many years, he appeared in front of them so simply this time, thinking that the token is only part of the reason, and the more important key should be Duran. Although he had been the head of The Hague for many years, he was just an ordinary crew member on the Hague at that time, and even if he belonged to the same team, he was very far away from a big man like Venn. He bowed slightly, took a half-step back from his feet, and stood still behind Duran, like a guard.

Duran's expression was a little wonderful, vain, reminiscence, or a little shock, but there was only a brief flicker in his eyes, and then he bowed and bowed. Although he gave up on himself, he could not forget the grace of his life. When he straightened up, there was nothing unusual between his eyebrows.

Vane nodded imperceptibly, his eyes seemed to be clearer. He knew that the Hero Chamber of Commerce always paid attention to the group of old people who were left behind that year, so there would be briefings about these old friends on his desk from time to time. He naturally knows Duran's situation, after twenty years of drunkenness, his current body and strength must have regressed a lot, but The Hague's bearing has precipitated more and more deeply. A quiet dormant popping bear is far more dangerous than an already furious giant bear. He suddenly wondered what had touched the man who didn't want to wake up, but after a little thought, he gave up the idea of asking for the latest information. In any case, it's always good to come back to your senses.

Duran was the first to speak: "Is the eye of that island already in your hands?" ”

Vane flipped it with one hand, and the plain piece of metal lay flat in his hand, and the answer was already clear.

"I asked twice, and Jimmy didn't hold back. He can follow your fleet to Roaring Isles, but only to Roaring Isles. ”

The meaning of Duran's words is actually to take Jimmy as a hostage, roaring that there are indigenous forces on the island, and it looks like The Hague is developing, but the Chamber of Commerce cannot be unprepared, there must be their forces on the island. But Vane shook his head and said slowly:

"You should know the importance of this place, the last stop on the way to resupply, the first safe point on the way back. Since you plan to go, it will naturally be taken over by my Hero Chamber of Commerce, to put it bluntly, from the moment our fleet completes its supply and leaves, that island can only belong to the Chamber of Commerce completely, what is the fleet left in The Hague to do there? ”

"It's not The Hague, it's just Jimmy."

The meaning of a person and a fleet is completely different, Vane was silent for a moment, this is already a great sincerity, Roaring Island cannot be lost, the people of The Hague must go together, no matter what arrangements they have on the island, this superficial work must be done. He realized that there seemed to be another possibility in the matter, and glanced up at Jimmy, thinking to himself that this reckless hairy boy had thought all this through from the beginning, so he messed around every day, and finally took the initiative to disband most of the Hague gang, because it seems that only this kid needs to be paid now, and this price is much lighter than gambling on the entire mercenary group, if so, then Jimmy may still have a set of underground teams. Jimmy's eyelids drooped, seemingly unaware of Vane's gaze. Vane didn't dig into it either, and accepted Duran's offer.

"Okay, what do you want?"

Duran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this condition seems to be open and honest, but in fact, to put it bluntly, in the end, whether he wants it or not, Jimmy will definitely not be able to run this trip, and now he takes the initiative to put it forward, but it actually depends on whether Vane gives this face. Now it seems that the other party has not broken it, and it is also the old love. Therefore, he didn't have any pretense of being reserved during the negotiation, obviously he had already made a draft, and said directly: "Let's see if we can solve the problem of this kid's cultivation, and the Hero Chamber of Commerce will leave an incense for The Hague, which is only used to save lives." ”

Wayne's eyes are brighter, and knowing how to advance and retreat and understand forbearance is still secondary, and Duran's vision and pattern are not comparable to ordinary people.

"I'll report it later, and there will be a token delivered to you, which can be saved in The Hague three times. As for this kid, I need to know what he's practiced before I can figure out a way. Vane smiled and shook slightly, as if some unwanted emotion had surfaced on his face.

"Bring it." Duran snapped up and held out his hand to Jimmy.

Jimmy hesitated for a moment, but Duran was not polite, and went up and grabbed him by the collar to pick up his clothes.

"Give, I'll give! To give! Jimmy was terrified, his body now, stripped naked again, the cold wind blew, not to mention how energetic. Hearing this, Duran also stopped moving, but he still stretched out his hand, his eyes were cold, and he meant to take it himself if he didn't hurry up. Jimmy shivered, his face was bitter, he rubbed his hands, and did not dare to delay any longer, and reached into his clothes. It is estimated that his hands are still a little cold, so he took a breath of cool air, but with the sound of "tearing", he quickly pulled out his right hand and took a leather roll along with it.

Jimmy exhaled and handed it to Duran. This humble scroll was the most important treasure around him, more precious than the private treasury of The Hague. This is something they exchanged for their lives more than 20 years ago, but unfortunately only he succeeded in enlightenment, so he has always carried it with him.

Duran looked at the leather scroll of unknown color, which seemed to still carry Jimmy's body temperature, his resolute face twitched slightly, his hands flickered, and a stream of air wrapped around the leather scroll, and he pushed towards Vane without touching the slightest. Seeing this, Vane scolded in his heart, and immediately stretched out his hands, and took almost the same action.

Jimmy's eyes began to grow unkindly as he watched the leather scroll he regarded as a treasure in their hands like a hot potato. Regardless of whether he is the old regiment leader or the older generation of powerhouses in the mainland, no one can care about his unsparing temper.

Both ignored Jimmy's tumbling gloom. Vane used his magic to open the suspended leather scroll. There wasn't much text on the scroll, but it took a few breaths to read it, and then with a wave of his hand, the scroll returned to Jimmy's hand. After that, he closed his eyes, and an aura spilled out of his body, but it didn't affect the surroundings in the slightest. He still looks like the same rich man, but Duran and the others know that Vane is definitely different at this time, but they don't know what kind of ability he has urged.

The courtyard fell silent for a moment, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the earth, blowing a few wisps of residual leaves.

After about a moment, Vane opened his eyes, and at the same time retracted his inexplicable momentum.

"I'm not good at this kind of power, and there is a senior in the Hero Chamber of Commerce who has studied this way, and I will explain it to him later. Overall, it's an ancient power, not quite the same as today's magic system, but it's not entirely repulsive. With what I just deduced, I can only go to the seventh layer. Saying that, Vane raised his eyes and stared at Jimmy, surprised: "It's a miracle that you used this power for the first time and still haven't died." ”

The corners of Jimmy's mouth twitched, his current state was indeed very strange, he seemed to be weak but seemed to be full of power, and the original magic system seemed to be frozen, even it was a little difficult to release a water balloon, let alone practice.

Duran bowed, "Please elaborate." ”

Vane waved his hand, thought about it for a while, and said directly: "I can only judge a rough idea, this should also be a way of cultivation, but the technique is very old, and it looks very rough, but what is the will of heaven, it is not for us to speculate." The most important thing about the practice is to make a vow, and the content of the wish, when and where to make the vow, what kind of conditions are required, how to achieve it, and so on, should actually have a strict lineage, but obviously you have not inherited it. This method of practice brings great power but also comes with great risks, and one wrong step is the end of the soul. The only way to do this is to make a vow before you die, and then make another vow. I can probably deduce that after the seventh wish, if you are not dead at that time, you will be invincible under the legendary rank. ”

Jimmy gasped, then choked and coughed. Invincible under the Legend Tier! What arrogant words, but he liked it.

Duran glanced at Vane and got his vague hints, and finally put his mind at ease. Vane nodded to mean that he could save Jimmy's life, and as for strength, Duran didn't think that was very practical. The two purposes of his trip had been accomplished, so he was much more relaxed, and thought that he could test it, so he took the opportunity to ask:

"What is your purpose in going to sea this time, the island? I'm sure Jimmy must have some stock that could help. ”

Vane smiled, "You seem to have made a mistake, things like revisiting the ancient path are not something I can decide for an old man. ”

"You can't?"

"I'm not omnipotent, in the Hero Chamber of Commerce, my power level is only the third layer."

Duran's face was expressionless, but his heart was turbulent. On that voyage many years ago, he experienced an extraordinary period as the captain of the battleship The Hague. Even though it is known as the golden generation, the lineup that went to sea is still luxurious. And the actual leader of that fleet was none other than Garcia Venne, who did not confirm this until the end. And he believed that Venn represented the will of the Hero Chamber of Commerce, and even he suspected that the other party was the president of the contemporary Chamber of Commerce, but at this moment, the other party actually directly said his level, which made him suspicious. If a person like Wayne is only the third right class of the Chamber of Commerce, and he can already use unimaginable resources, then what kind of characters should the two layers above him be. He suddenly lost all interest in temptation, his grandmother's legs, what a bunch of people!
