Black Domain.

The owner of this dark place was standing in his office at this time, looking down and listening.

In the darkness in front of him, a silver-bearded old man sat there. However, if you look closely, you can find that the body of the silver-bearded old man is actually slightly transparent, obviously it is not his real body, but an extremely realistic projection.

The old man commanded in his slow but powerful voice, "...... In the next tidal month, you will have to ensure that at least 500,000 slaves will be sent to Nikota, and the Nikota Mine will need no less than 50,000***, of which at least 40,000 will be humans...... Difficult? ”

"There is no problem with slaves, it's just that the ** aspect is ......" The king of the Black Domain, the leader of the star thieves, and the 'Black King' who is as strong as a bear, Yorick, stood there respectfully at this time as if he was a schoolboy facing the teacher.

"What? Not enough? The old man raised an eyebrow.

"It's been a bit of a drain lately......," the Black King whispered, "but I know of a place where you can replenish ** and even miners in large quantities - there are billions of Homo sapiens out there. ”

"But?" The old man heard the Black King's words.

"But there are no stable tides there, so you have to use drift valves." The Black King picked it up at the right time.

"Oh, that's right." The old man flicked his silver beard and did not speak for a long time, and the Black King Yorick stood there silently, as docile as a well-trained hound.

"How did I do with what I told you?" The old man suddenly changed his words and asked about something else.

"All the items have been collected 6 pieces, and there is a pendant lost in 17102, I have sent Roshan and twelve search teams to go, I originally expected to get the news during the two 'trade winds' period, but now four 'trade winds' have passed and there is no news ......"

"Pendant...... Lan Yin's one? The old man pondered.

"Yes."

“…… What news does Lan Yin have on himself? ”

"Nope. He had a good sense of smell and dropped the pendant and disappeared before we could find him. We found the pendant from his adopted son, but the Aguimehs on a mission have rebelled, and we are hunting him down. The Black King replied in a fifteen-ten, seemingly unconcealed mistake in the treachery.

"Hehe, that's my fault...... However, the ability of the Aguimai people to change will help us in our activities on Earth, and we can obtain information without leaving a trace and find what I want......"

The old man stroked the silver beard and smiled, "The number 17102 is the desolate star connected to the earth, right?" ”

"Yes."

"You increase your search to find the pendant at all costs. In addition, tell the inferior warrior who failed to break through - it's called Roshan, right? You tell him that if he gets what I want, I can consider helping him with the sequelae of 'breaking the blue'. ”

"Yes." The Black King nodded in response.

“…… As for the place where you say there are billions of Homo sapiens, it's the Earth, right? The old man shifted the subject back again.

"Yes."

"The situation there is more complicated, there are a lot of high-level civilization eyeliner, so it is not appropriate to act rashly for the time being, as for the number of ****, how much is counted." The old man vetoed the Black King's proposal.

For ......the first time, Yorick wanted to refute the old man's decision, believing that the low-level civilization and huge population of the Earth could be a source of slaves - as long as there was an adequate supply of drift valves.

"You don't understand." The old man seemed to be in a good mood, and patiently explained: "In your opinion, what is the strength of our Werther Empire?" ”

"Our Witt Empire has 13 main stars, hundreds of genus stars, and even the Zero Crystal Veins have increased to 6, this kind of strength is only comparable to us in the other three empires in the alliance, we ......"

"Alliance." The old man reached out and tapped Yorick's head with a loving smile on his face, "You mentioned the Alliance. In your opinion, why do we form an alliance when we are so powerful? ”

"It's because ...... This is ......" The Black King Yorick was stunned, he had never thought about it.

"On the Star Path, civilizations that are stronger than the Empire abound, even those that are more powerful than the Alliance...... You can't count it on one hand, kid. The old man stood up, paced a few steps, turned around and said:

"You're the son of Merlin, and you'll know some things sooner or later, but all I can tell you now is to be humble, especially when facing an unknown civilization."

"The long path of stars is complex and mysterious, no one has ever explored its end, and perhaps an unimaginably powerful civilization is only one tide away from you...... If you want to survive, you must learn to be humble. ”

"Child, you have to remember. Humility won't make you strong, but it will make it easier for you to survive. ”

Speaking of this, the old man seemed to see the rebelliousness in the eyes of the Black King, and couldn't help but smile miserably:

"There are some things you can't know yet, and here's what I can tell you...... Even the alliance that huddled together for warmth was cautiously humbled on thin ice before being allowed to survive on this star path. ”

After saying this, the old man seemed to be a little out of breath and sat back in his seat.

"Look at the time and the tide is about to fall, let's contact the next tide." Speaking of this, the old man paused slightly, and then said earnestly: "Remember...... Don't go your father's way. ”

"Wow ......"

The projection vanished, leaving only the King of the Dark Realm standing there alone.

After a long time, the emotion in Yorick's eyes slowly calmed down, and he let out a long breath and pressed the communication switch on the table: "Come on, prepare the tide gate, orient 17102." ”

"Also, call Take-kun to me."

……

Black Domain, Stargate Square.

The huge square is dominated by 8 massive tide gates, seven of which are fixed tide gates and one of which is a directional tide gate.

The tidal gate is not so much a "gate" as some kind of huge astrological object, which is somewhat similar in appearance to the armillary sphere used in ancient China, but it is much more complex and sci-fi.

At this time, in front of the directional tide gate, dozens of slaves were preparing to activate the tide gate under the supervision of several star thieves.

Several rovers continued to report data, and the slaves constantly adjusted the direction and position of the stargate according to the rover's data.

The opening of the directional door requires very complex data calculations as well as a lot of adjustment work. Unlike fixed tide gates, which are relatively unchanging, the parameters to be adjusted to project matter and life onto a planet are simply overwhelming.

And, after the adjustment, wait for the tide to form. As soon as even the faintest tide is not waited for within the window, then all parameters need to be recalculated.

Therefore, every opening of the directional tidal gate is a huge and complex system engineering.

Just when the slaves were busy, not far from the freight yard, a transparent ripple suddenly appeared in the void, as if something transparent had quickly passed through the square.
