Outside the door stood a man and a woman, mercenaries who had been following Raven Drake. Xin Lin pretended to be very cautious, and did not open the door immediately, but asked through the door, "Which one?" ”

"I'm Wei Lin from the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Regiment."

The petite mercenary declared her identity, then looked up at the probe on the door, and said very patiently: "Mr. Shi, we have no malicious intentions, don't you invite us in?" ”

There was no response from the room.

The other male mercenary gradually showed impatience on his face, and said in a low voice: "Sister Wei, he doesn't know what to do, let's go back." ”

"Gordon, when are you going to change your acute problem?" Wei Lin glared at him, "How can we explain to the deputy head of the regiment when we go back like this?" Just because he made us wait a minute? ”

Gordon was a little unconvinced, and was about to speak, when the door opened.

Xin Lin looked at the two of them with a wary gaze and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Mr. Shi doesn't have to be so careful." Wei Lin had a sweet smile on her face, she knew that this person might not invite someone into the door easily, so she said straight to the point: "We are from the Violent Tiger Mercenary Group, presumably Mr. Shi has heard of it." Not long ago, Mr. Shi showed a good swordsmanship in the restaurant, which our deputy head admired very much, so he specially sent us to invite Mr. Shi to be a guest of the mercenary group. ”

"Your deputy head of the regiment?" A little surprise flashed in Xin Shi's eyes.

"Hmph, my father is a kendo master in the realm of military generals, and he is a famous name in the entire space city, don't you know?" Gordon didn't seem to appreciate Xin Lin when he saw it, and he was dissatisfied with his disrespect for his father.

However, Xin Lin shook his head, "I just came to Juling Space City not long ago, and I really haven't heard of this deputy head of the regiment. ”

"You ......"

Gordon was immediately furious and was about to make a move on the spot, but was pushed to the side by Wei Lin with a palm, and smiled at Xin Lian: "Mr. Shi, I made you laugh." Gordon is the son of our deputy head of the regiment, he is young and ignorant, please Haihan. ”

Xin Lone's indifferent gaze swept over Gordon, this person is in his thirties, and he is still young? However, this person is a high-level samurai, with excellent talent, and he should be spoiled by Raven Drake, like a child who has not grown up.

He thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, please lead the way." ”

"Great, Mr. Shi come with me." Wei Lin seemed very happy, she had read Shi Hongyi's information before she came, and knew that the other party had a withdrawn personality and was not easy to get along with, but Gordon, a troublemaker, came up halfway to join in the fun, and thought that she would have to run a few more times to invite the other party, but she didn't expect it to be done in one time.

However, she can also understand why Shi Hongyi compromised so easily, the deputy head of the regiment is high and powerful, and he is a master of military generals, no matter how proud Shi Hongyi is, there must be pressure in his heart, and he does not dare to hold up in front of the deputy head of the regiment.

The three of them came out of the mercenary club, got into a flying car, and went straight to the station of the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Group, that is, the meteor-class cruiser hovering high in the sky.

In the car, Gordon repeatedly provoked Xin Lin with his eyes, and Xin Lin didn't bother to take care of him.

Wei Lin was helpless, but fortunately, the flying car quickly arrived at its destination and flew directly into the side hangar of the cruiser.

After entering the inside of the battleship, Xin Lone's eyes have been looking around, and his eyes are full of curiosity. Gordon finally seized an opportunity to laugh at him and whispered, "Hillbilly." ”

Xin Xiao glanced at him coldly, his eyes were cold, like a sharp sword, which made Gordon's heart chill inexplicably, and he took a step back. Immediately, he felt very embarrassed, and was frightened by a glance, but he didn't dare to provoke again, dropped the two words "boring" to find a step for himself, and left in a hurry.

Looking at the back of Gordon leaving, Xin Lonely felt a little bored, this was the first time in his life that he had met such a brainless person, if he had changed places, he would have beaten him up a long time ago.

Wei Lin was amazed that Gordon, who had always been lawless, was also scared.

She laughed secretly and said to Xin Lian, "Mr. Shi, please go this way." ”

Xin Lin nodded and did not speak.

Walking in the passage of the battleship, Wei Lin introduced: "This meteor-class cruiser is the most important asset of our Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Group, and it is also the headquarters station. ”

"Seventy percent of the combat effectiveness is already very strong." A rare sigh of admiration.

Wei Lin listened to it and was quite complacent.

Among the four major mercenary groups in Juling Space City, the strength of the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Group is faintly higher, and it is because of this battleship. Other mercenary groups have at most semi-armed spaceships, and their combat effectiveness is also good, but how can they compare to real warships? Even if it's just an old warship, when it comes to fighting, it's enough to suppress more than five semi-armed ships at the same time!

However, what she didn't know was that after the flying car entered the battleship, Xin Lone's telepathy never stopped, scanning the battleship from beginning to end over and over again.

In just a few minutes, the cruiser had no secrets in Xin Shi's eyes.

Xin Xiao didn't know much about the battleship, but he could also see that the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Group was indeed very concerned about this battleship, spending a lot of money and manpower, carefully maintaining it, and most of its functions could operate normally.

The most important nuclear fusion power furnace, faster-than-light engine, energy deflection shield, a high-energy particle cannon and six secondary guns as the main gun, hundreds of air and space fighters in the hangar, and more than 200 pairs of power armor, hundreds of missiles of various types in the ammunition depot, it is like an officially listed warship, ready to enter the battle.

Of course, it is Xin Lin who has telepathy to see the powerful firepower of this battleship, and its appearance is deliberately very old and broken, obviously to hide people's eyes.

But no matter how old it is, it's also a battleship.

Xin Lin wondered in his heart, such a powerful cruiser was moored in the space city, and the city lord Gustav was not afraid of its threat?

The side of the couch does not allow others to snore!

Unless Gustav also has a warship of the same level, or he has reached an unknown tacit understanding with the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Group, or even they are a gang themselves!

Xin Xiao secretly speculated that Lao Wu's intelligence mentioned this, suspecting that Gustav had something to do with the bloody handprint, but Nelson did not reveal the identity of the city lord Gustav, maybe his level was too low to reach. Now it seems that Gustav knew about the bloody handprints, even if he was not a member of the bloody handprints, and even offered to cover them up.

"As long as you find Zhuang Xiaolin to spy secretly for a while, you will naturally understand."

Xin Lone's telepathic scanning back and forth searched everyone on the cruiser, but unexpectedly, he did not find Zhuang Xiaolin's figure.

"Zhuang Xiaolin is not on the battleship?"

He was suddenly helpless.

According to Lao Wu's intelligence, Zhuang Xiaolin was low-key, staying on the battleship almost all the time when he had no tasks, and rarely appeared in public. Now that he is not there, it is very likely that he has left Space City, obviously with Lao Wu's intelligence ability, it is not enough to grasp the whereabouts of a high-level military general at any time.

"I can only wait, maybe he didn't leave Space City, but just got off the ship temporarily." Xin Lin thought to himself.

A moment later, Wei Lin led Xin Lin to a reception room on the upper deck of the battleship.

"Deputy Chief, Mr. Shi has arrived." Wei Lin reported, then turned around and said to Xin Lian, "Mr. Shi, this is the deputy head of our Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Regiment, Raven Drake. ”

"I've seen Lord Raven." Xin Lonely nodded and said hello without humility or arrogance. If an ordinary person is in front of a general, it is inevitable that he will be a little trembling, but Xin Lin will not, not because he has confidence, but Shi Hongyi's character is like this, he is born with a cold face, and he is not good at dealing with people, so he looks a little arrogant in the eyes of others.

If you have the corresponding strength, it is enough, the strong will inevitably be a little arrogant, and others can understand it, but Shi Hongyi has arrogance but no strong strength, and he often suffers because of this, and he died in the last hiring mission, which is not unrelated to his indifferent character.

Wei Lin called Mr. Shi when he came to the door, obviously the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Group had already checked Shi Hongyi's information. Xin Lin can only try his best to play the role of Shi Hongyi and maintain his previous character.

Raven Drake got up and waved his hand, and said gently, "Mr. Shi, please be seated." ”

Xin Xiao nodded slightly, and sat down a few meters away from Raven, keeping a proper distance. Raven shook his head secretly in his heart, sure enough, as the information said, this Shi Hongyi's personality is a bit eccentric, withdrawn by nature, always wary of outsiders, and he doesn't even have a friend.

"Mr. Shi just arrived in Juling Space City, right?" Raven didn't hide it, and directly said that he had sent someone to check.

Xin Lian's face changed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and still replied: "Yes, I have been active in the black ice asteroid belt before, and I came to Juling Space City for the first time two months ago. ”

The Black Ice Asteroid Belt is another outlaw place of the Federation.

"I have also lived in the black ice asteroid belt for a period of time, and I have to say that the conditions there are much better than those of Juling Space City, with a large population, a wide range of businesses, and more convenient updates to the hardware facilities of life, if it weren't for the foundation of the head of the regiment here, I would really be reluctant to leave." Raven said casually, but Xin Lin heard the voice.

Raven is tempting, because Shi Hongyi died and disappeared for nearly a year, and the Violent Tiger Mercenary Group in this year's blank period will definitely not be able to find out, and now it suddenly appears in Juling Space City, there must be a reason for it.

Xin Lin had already thought of his words, and pretended to be a little unspeakable: "I'm not afraid of His Excellency Raven's jokes, in fact, I don't want to leave, but I inadvertently offended a big man in the black ice asteroid belt, so I ......"

"Big shots?"

Raven asked curiously, "Which big man, maybe I still know, maybe I can help you make peace." ”

Xin Shi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I offended Boss Qian, does Your Excellency Raven know me?" ”

This Boss Qian does have someone, he is a big black marketman in the Black Ice Asteroid Zone, he is extremely powerful, and he has a guard group of thousands of people under his command, Shi Hongyi did have a holiday with Boss Qian before, but it was just a small matter, far from the point where he couldn't get along and needed to escape.

In fact, Boss Qian's real identity is similar to Lao Wu, and he is also an informant of the Federal Intelligence Agency, but this person is like a fish in water outside the law, and he has become bigger and bigger over the decades, and his mentality has changed, and now he is also close to the Federal Intelligence Agency, and has almost completely become a real black market businessman.

Raven obviously also knew Boss Qian, shook his head and said, "I had a relationship with Boss Qian, but I didn't have a friendship, so I'm sorry I can't help you." ”

Xin Lian's face showed a little disappointment, and he was silent.

When Raven saw him like this, he believed in his heart, there should be no problem with this person's origin. However, he still has a question, judging from the information, Shi Hongyi's previous swordsmanship was only at the level of ordinary people, far less sharp than what he had just seen, if he had such a strong swordsmanship before, he should not be so miserable.

"Mr. Shi, I invited you to come to the door this time just to exchange swordsmanship experience with you." Raven didn't beat around the bush and said, "I was really amazed to see you wielding the Wind Blade in the restaurant just now. There are a lot of people in Space City who can speed the sword, but none of them can compare to you. ”

Speaking of swordsmanship, Xin Lin was quite complacent: "I have practiced the fast sword for decades, and in the past year, I had to go incognito and practice swordsmanship hard, but I didn't expect to break through to the realm of thoroughness, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise." ”

"I see." Raven nodded, it makes sense that many people are making rapid progress under pressure.

Regardless of whether what Shi Hongyi said was true or not, in fact, Raven didn't particularly care, he just wanted to learn swordsmanship. He got up and said: "I love swords all my life, and I have mastered many swordsmanship, including the Wind Quick Sword, I wonder if Mr. Shi is willing to appreciate his face and have a discussion with me?" ”

Xin Lin stood up and said confidently, "It's my honor to be able to fight against His Excellency Raven. ”

"Okay, refreshed!" Raven couldn't wait to take Xin Lin to the training room of the battleship, and the two competed with each other with the Wind Sword.

After the fight, Xin Lin found that Raven's swordsmanship was not as advanced as expected.

Raven claims to have mastered many swordsmanship, but he is not proficient, the most powerful five or six swordsmanship are all through the realm, and the remaining dozen or so swordsmanship are only proficient. Obviously, Raven's kendo talent is not as good as his cultivation talent, if he is not a junior general, he may not even be able to move ten moves in front of Xin Lian.

Many times, Raven cultivated the Force to suppress the high-level samurai, and Xin Lin only responded with the Wind Sword, and it was difficult for Raven to win.

However, Raven enjoyed it, he was obsessed with swordsmanship, and it was rare to have the opportunity to meet an opponent of equal strength, but it was not enjoyable to learn once or twice, and after the day was over, he immediately made an appointment with Xin Lin for the next sword competition.

Xin Lin couldn't ask for this, and he also wanted to stay on the battleship to find Zhuang Xiaolin's whereabouts.

After that, Xin Lin boarded the cruiser of the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Regiment every two or three days, and studied swordsmanship with Raven for several hours.

During this period, Xin Xiao eavesdropped on the conversations of the people on the battleship through telepathy, and learned that Zhuang Xiaolin had received a mission not long ago and left Space City with a few henchmen, and it was uncertain when he would return.

This made Xin Lonely a little helpless, and he could only say that he was unlucky.

He had to focus on communicating with Raven's swordsmanship, very skillfully grasping the strength of the swordsmanship, improving little by little, and occasionally inadvertently dialing it, so that Raven's swordsmanship improved a little, making him mistakenly think that this was the result of many exchanges, and more frequently found Xin Lin to exchange swordsmanship.

Sure enough, after confirming that there was no problem with Xin Lone's origin, Raven was moved to love talent, and officially invited Xin Lone to join the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Group half a month later.

Xin Lin pretended to need to think about it for a few days, and it was not until Raven sincerely invited him many times and offered quite attractive salaries and treatments that he agreed. As the deputy head of the regiment, Raven has the power to recruit people, and he does not need the approval of the regiment leader Zhuang Xiaolin, he personally announced this decision to his subordinates and introduced Xin Lin to everyone.

After that, Xin Xiao stayed on the battleship, and telepathically scanned the whole ship all the time, waiting for Zhuang Xiaolin to appear.

More than a month later, Xin Lin was cultivating in his room, and by the end of the year 3021, he had cultivated eighty Force nodes to the limit, and at this rate, all nodes should be able to reach the limit around September next year.

Just as he was silently calculating when he would attack the general, suddenly, telepathically perceived a landing plane sailing into the battleship's hangar.

There were several people sitting on the landing plane, and one of them had an extremely fiery aura that made people's hearts frighten, like a volcano that was about to erupt at any moment, and contained terrifying power.

Xin Xiaolin's heart jumped, and he immediately understood: "Zhuang Xiaolin is back." ”

He carefully focused his telepathy on Zhuang Xiaolin, this person was huge and strong, nearly two meters tall, with a resolute face, short maroon hair standing upright like a steel needle, with occasional red flashes in his eyes, and a huge war knife behind him, more than one meter and a half in length, the blade was as wide as a bench, and the overall shape was like a butcher knife magnified dozens of times, I don't know what material it was made of, it looked extremely heavy, at least two or three hundred kilograms!

"His code name is Butcher, so he uses a butcher's knife?" Xin Silent thoughtfully.

Zhuang Xiaolin got off the landing plane and went straight to the bridge of the battleship to give an order, and everyone on the ship gathered on deck 1, and the members of the group who were still in the space city rushed back immediately, and they did not wait for the expiration date.
