Chapter 508: Lifespan Trading

When Jiang Yan opened the door of the office and walked out, the guards guarding the door came in to take a look, and then closed the door again, so that the office was quiet again, and Lux, who was sitting on the sofa silently sipping spiritual tea, suddenly turned a lot colder.
Putting down the already cold tea, Lux walked to the desk behind him, picked up his special communicator, and issued one order after another.
"Compile a copy of all the resumes and behavioral records of N6-213 in the last two years and send them to my office, remember, it's all, don't miss a single detail!"
After saying this order, Lux hesitated for a moment, and then continued to order: "Gather more information on the actions of the Slint family, and focus on those faces who have only recently appeared in the Slint family. ”
After a pause, Lux added in a solemn tone: "This investigation must be made secretive, and it is best not to let the old Marquis of Slint find out, understand?"
There was silence for a few seconds, and the other end of the communicator seemed to respond, causing Lux's eyes to flicker.
"By the way, after this investigation, most of the surveillance of N6-213 will be removed...... Hmm? There is no need for it, and the surveillance forces currently available within the authority are no longer sufficient for this task...... It would be nice to keep a minimum of observers on the periphery for daily recording, even if you can't monitor them in detail. ”
After hanging up the communication, Lux sat down in his office chair and began to wait.
The efficiency of his subordinates was still very fast, and in less than ten minutes after Lukes's order, the other party had already delivered all the information he needed to the desk.
Picking up the stack of documents, each full of text, which numbered more than ten pages, Lux glanced at it at a glance.
All these materials are recorded in the intelligence information he collected for Jiang Yan's stalking by secretly invoking his own authority, and it records in detail all the things Jiang Yan has done in the empire in the past two years, not only the previous mission records when assassinating the troops, but even Jiang Yan's daily life, travel and shopping, there are brief descriptions.
For example, before the great change in the Gulund family a while ago, Jiang Yan and Lily Luka met Xia Liu, the young master of the Gulund family, on the street.
However, despite the detailed records, even though Lux had carefully examined each of the records, he still didn't find anything wrong.
The only thing that is a little strange is that Jiang Yan often buys some low-level elf eggs in person or by sending maids to the market every day for a certain period of time. However, based on the little words leaked by the stalker quietly listening to the chatter of the two maids in charge of procurement, it can be inferred that the elven eggs seem to be intended for use as ingredients.
I don't know where that kid got such a good appetite, he actually has to eat it almost every day, and it's all raw eggs, and it won't taste greasy?
(Xiaobai: Meow Meow?)
Aside from this dispensable piece of information, Lux couldn't find anything else suspicious.
The information he wanted to know most about how Jiang Yan got hooked up with the "Alien God" and how he became a "Alien God Contractor" was not traceable.
Even when Jiang Yan became a "Covenanter of the Alien Gods" could not be specifically judged.
If it weren't for Lux's whim this time, he suddenly took advantage of the fact that there was no outsider to obstruct him, and suddenly tried it himself, I'm afraid that Lux would still think that kid might still be a genius who was stronger than Haar, but he wouldn't be too outrageous.
"I'm old, even if I have a vague premonition, but this time I'm really a little blind. ”
Shaking his head, Lux smiled wryly, then picked up another stack of documents and materials that had been sent over later about the recent movements of the Slint family and flipped through them.
A moment later, Lux put the two points of information together, and a shimmer of light from a crimson magic array in his palm flowed by, and two seconds later, a flame of spiritual power came out of his palm, and ignited the paper documents at once, and then he casually threw them into the metal basin not far away, and then the flames in the basin instantly rose a lot, and after a few sneers, all those materials were completely burned to ashes.
"Old ghost, there is still something wrong with your relationship with that kid...... rubbing his eyebrows, as an old friend who has known each other for many years, Lux has already seen some clues that Angus is not quite right from the information just now.
He had reason to suspect that the old friend might be hiding something from him.
"Could it be that you're also having an affair with that mysterious 'alien god'......?"
This conjecture was confirmed by Lukes the next day, when he met with Angus in private, wanting to have a good conversation with his old friend, and to exchange some secret intelligence information in person.
Because he found that this old friend, who was already old and had been stuck in the realm of a military-level upper-level elf envoy for almost twenty years, and had not been able to advance to the legendary realm for a long time, had actually shown some signs of promotion recently!
Ma Dan, I've known each other for almost 20 years, you old boy didn't break through sooner or later, but in this period of frequent haunts of "alien god" believers and contractors, suddenly there is a trend to break through?
Moreover, the righteous grandson you accepted is a "Covenanter of the Alien Gods", and your subordinates have also recruited many contractors to serve themselves!
There are many clues to connect them, saying that there are no ghosts here? I'm afraid that ghosts won't believe it.
Anyway, as soon as Lux met, he became more and more suspicious that this old friend had something to do with the "alien god".
This suspicion turned into conviction when he tentatively asked Angus, who showed neither denial nor admit, but meaningfully diverted the subject.
After all, Angus's behavior is almost equivalent to acquiescence.
Then, who is also a "Covenanter of the Alien God", it is obvious that Jiang Yan, a young genius who can reach the high-level strength of the military level at the age of ten, is likely to be more loved by the "Alien God" than Angus, an old man who is almost over 100 years old and can only make a breakthrough.
The class relations between these two men are probably not as dominant by Angus as they seem.
After confirming this matter, although Lux was quite emotional, he did not want to accuse Angus of anything.
For the high-ranking officials and nobles in the upper echelons of the empire, especially for those nobles who are quite old and approaching, if there is anything they desire the most, then the answer must be one - longevity!
The aristocratic lords who are accustomed to enjoying wealth and power, basically the longer they get it, the more afraid they will be of death. Only with a longer life span can they enjoy a more rich life, and only then can they have leisure time to obtain more wealth and higher power.
In the past, there was no good way, no matter which world it was, if a mortal with a low cultivation wanted to prolong his life, it was nothing more than some means such as 'blood sacrifice', 'collecting and replenishing others', 'refining life-prolonging medicine', 'trading with evil gods and demons', etc., because the cultivation level was not enough, these methods would be very low-level, almost all of them were some side-of-the-road techniques, and they could only barely quench their thirst by drinking water, and they were likely to be accompanied by various serious problems.
Many of those who dare to try these sideways will not end up with a good result.
Since ancient times, there is only one safest and feasible way to break through for most people - that is, cultivation, sublimating one's own life level through the improvement of cultivation, so as to naturally increase longevity and evolve from a "short-lived species" to an "immortal species"!
But it's a pity that this kind of thing of improving the level of life and then increasing longevity through cultivation often attaches great importance to personal qualifications, and it is a path that only a few people can walk.
And there are basically no shortcuts to cultivation, and only a little effort can be exchanged for a gain.
Let the aristocratic lords who are accustomed to living a comfortable life work hard to cultivate? If they have that perseverance and perseverance, they don't have to be so greedy for the prosperity of the red dust.
And even if you are willing to pay, you may not be able to get the expected return, after all, the conditions for talent and qualification are there.
Rather than that, they might as well go to a side door that looks a little more relaxed.
However, now, the appearance of the "alien god" has made these noble lords see the light again.
According to the intelligence, when the "alien gods" trade with the "contractor" and give power, the price charged will often involve the "lifespan" thing, and it is a normal phenomenon for the "contractor" to lose life to a greater or lesser extent.
Then the key is, since the contract trade of the 'alien god' will charge 'life', can it in turn give 'life' to the contractor?
As a result, some high-ranking nobles thought of this and secretly set out to try.
Then I found out that they could really ask the "alien god" for a deal for 'lifespan'!
Although this kind of contract transaction is related to 'lifespan', the price charged by the "alien god" is often very expensive, and it will also vary according to the strength of the contractor itself and the amount of the original upper limit of lifespan, the older and more powerful the person wants to increase his life, the more heavy the price he needs to pay!
But for those high-ranking officials and nobles who are eager to prolong their lives, this still makes them flock to it! After all, for them, when they die, there is really nothing!
To be honest, after Lux gathered this kind of information, he was very enthusiastic about the high-ranking officials and nobles who had achieved the results of the contract trade of the "alien gods".
Of course, this product is not to covet the benefits of prolonging life, although it is not uninterested, but for Lukes, he wants to explore the information of how the "alien gods" managed to prolong the lives of those high-ranking officials and nobles.
"So, Angus, as an old friend for many years, can you clear up my doubts?"
In a lavish reception room, after Lux and Angus drank two glasses of wine, Lux grinned and asked Angus this question with a light smile.
Angus's heart moved, and his mouth teased: "Why, can't you find this kind of information?"
"There's no way, the few 'contractors' in my hands can't afford to exchange their lives for 'alien gods', and I don't want to be the one who is wronged. Lux shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, isn't there a living model of you now?"
After speaking, Lux glanced at Angus's hair that seemed to have become two points darker than before, as well as a faintly more shiny and angry face, and said with a smile: "Now you, I'm afraid you can live for at least thirty years before you have a twilight appearance that is approaching your lifespan, right?"
Between the words, Lux has undoubtedly recognized Angus's identity as the "Alien God Contractor", after all, as far as he knows, the only person who can trade with the "Alien God" for 'lifespan' is his "Contractor". This is something that no one can transfer even if it is wanted.
Angus's eyes flickered, and he didn't deny it, shook his head with a light smile and asked, "With your intelligence channels, I don't believe that you haven't found other people who have used the power of the 'Alien God' to prolong their lives, why did they find me?"
Lux smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "No way, the status of the other few people is extraordinary, it's not that I can shoot casually if I want to catch it and study it, only if you don't die here, I can speak." ”
If the identity of the subject is average, according to Lukes's temperament, he would have used the power in his hands to forcibly catch the target on the experimental bench as a guinea pig to study, but unfortunately, because of the high cost, those few who can carry out contract transactions with the "alien gods" in terms of 'lifespan' are not ordinary rich or expensive, unless the other party is willing to cooperate, or with the permission of high-level bosses such as the emperor, otherwise it will cause huge trouble.
"Okay......" Angus also knew Lukes's difficulties, so he could only shake his head and said helplessly: "I understand, for the sake of the friendship that I have known for many years, I will show you a hand." After reading it, you will naturally understand what I got from the "alien god". ”
As long as you see it, you will understand it immediately?Lukes suddenly had a look of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes when he heard this.
Between the moves, Angus suddenly asked Lukes first: "Now, old friend, do you remember, I told you at the beginning, the reason why I want to absorb Jiang Yan's child into the Slint family?"
Because that boy is a good "contractor" who is loved by the "alien gods?...... No, the reason this guy used to explain to me in the first place was......'
After recalling for a moment, Lux said, "Is it because the Dragonborn inheritance of the Slint family has long been severed, so we need to bring in excellent dragonborns?"
Angus smiled and nodded.
"yes, but for now, look in my eyes. ”
Lux subconsciously looked over, but what came into his field of vision was a pair of golden and bronze aura, just looking at it, there was a kind of vertical pupils that were targeted by some extremely terrifying and domineering existence as if predators, and it didn't look like a human being!
That's one of the famous traits of the Dragonborn bloodline inheritors who have reached the awakening stage-
