Lu Dongxia looked at the back of the white and chubby old man, and said in a low voice: "Zhai Leng, from the Twelve Halls of the Great Night City, our sworn enemy. ”

Big Night City?

Jiang Xia frowned slightly, it turned out that the interior of the Twelve Halls was not monolithic, judging from the actions of the Lu family brothers and Zhai Leng as soon as they met, the beam between them was not small.

The Lu brothers said that the contradiction between the Big Night City and the Sea Burial Flower has never stopped since the establishment of the two colleges.

A long, long time ago, the founder of the Sea Burial Flower, Hanakoyu, and the founder of the Great Night City, Night Without a Trace, two super martial gods had a pinnacle battle in order to compete for the first place in the galaxy.

That battle was an epic duel that attracted the attention of all martial artists in the entire galaxy.

Tens of millions of warriors, thousands of miles away, flocked from all directions of the galaxy, all kinds of spaceships, warships, densely lined up, covering the sky and the sun.

Hua Ziyu and Ye Wuxian are both a generation of top masters, the two of them fought in the dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and the battle lasted for ninety-one days, but they still couldn't tell the winner.

At this time, the battlefield changed dramatically.

It was as if the sky was covered by a black curtain, and suddenly it dimmed, the sun no longer shining, the stars no longer shining, and even the electronic devices in everyone's hands were out of order.

Thankfully, the anomaly lasted only a few seconds, and soon everything was back to normal.

When the frightened people set their eyes on the battlefield, they suddenly found that the two supreme masters, Hanako Fish and Night Traceless, were all gone!

Where did they go?

People frantically searched everywhere, but in the end, no one was alive or dead, which became one of the biggest mysteries in the history of the galaxy.

Subsequently, this shocking change also became the beginning of the thousands of years of confrontation between the Sea Burial Flower and the Great Night City, and they both suspected that the other party designed it, framed their founder, and became hostile to each other, fighting on various occasions.

At that time, Hanako Fish and Night Traceless were both super masters who had the ability to compete for the first place in the galaxy, and the disappearance of the two of them also brought a huge blow to Sea Burial Flower and Big Night City.

Originally, the Great Night City and the Sea Burial Flower have always been far ahead, ranking first and second in the galaxy, unmatched.

And now, the strength of the Twelve Halls of the Galaxy is almost the same, and the Great Night City and the Sea Burial Flower, the two oldest academies, have never been able to return to the top.

According to the latest list, the Big Night City ranked tenth, and the sea burial flower with the least number of people ranked twelfth, becoming the bottom existence.

After listening to the introduction of the Lu family brothers, Jiang Xia touched his chin.

Suddenly the sky is dark, and the electronic devices are malfunctioning, how can it be the same as when I encountered the Zerg in the hidden space not long ago?

However, Jiang Xia didn't say anything, the things that the Twelve Palaces couldn't reach a conclusion after thousands of years of investigation, where did they have their own random speculation.

"It's almost time, let's go to the auction." Lu Chunqiu looked at the time and said.

So, Jiang Xia and the others left the free market and went to the auction hall.

At this time, the number of people in the free market is much smaller than just now, and those who have left are also going to participate in the auction, and everyone is pinching their time.

There were already a lot of people outside the auction hall, and at least tens of thousands of merchants and representatives of various forces were waiting to enter.

Jiang Xia and they were playing the sign of sea burial flowers, so naturally there was no need to queue, and just as they turned to the VIP channel, Jiang Xia was suddenly stunned and grabbed a middle-aged man who passed by him.

"Battalion commander? Why are you here? Jiang Xia said to the middle-aged martial artist with towering cheekbones.

He had dark skin, short curly hair, and was burly, looking like a pillar of stone, very strong.

"Jiang Xia? It's you! The curly-haired man also affectionately grabbed Jiang Xia's arm and shook hands with him affectionately.

This is not a bystander, it is the head of the Hidden Star Legion in the Saramento Star Field, the battalion commander of the twenty-eighth battalion of the legion, Jin Shi.

Jiang Xia has been included in the Hidden Star Legion by the military department, Jin Shi is his direct person in charge, before arriving at the Hades Exchange, Jiang Xia and Jin Shi had a call, Jin Shi said that he has been too busy recently, and he has no time to go to Sailai Star to pick up Jiang Xia, let him continue to wait.

Then, Jiang Xia followed the Lu family brothers here, and he actually ran into Jin Shi.

After Jiang Xia explained the situation to the Lu family brothers, Lu Dongxia nodded slightly and said, "It's really a coincidence, I see that you look like you're going to participate in the auction of the Hades Exchange?" ”

Jin Shi nodded, "Yes, I'm waiting in line to enter." ”

"There's no need to queue, we have a private room, and it's not an outsider anyway, so let's just sit together." Lu Dongxia sincerely invited.

Jin Shi thought for a moment, then nodded briskly, "Okay, I'll call the other brothers." ”

Jiang Xia was stunned, "There are other brothers?" ”

Jin Shi said: "Yes, the stakes are very high, all the warriors of the twenty-eighth battalion are here, and you will see them soon." ”

So, Jin Shi went out of the crowd to call someone.

The Hidden Star Legion is in charge of intelligence and some secret missions, Jin Shi has long heard of the Lu family brothers from Jiang Xia and the workers of the Federation Construction Works, and everyone has repeatedly said that these two big old men are friends of the earthlings, so although Jin Shi has not seen the Lu family brothers before, he still trusts them very much.

There was not much time, so Jin Shi brought five warriors in civilian clothes to Jiang Xia's side.

In any legion, the number of warriors is always in the minority, and the majority are warriors and engineers.

But after all, the twenty-eighth battalion is in charge of the huge Sacramento Star Domain, and there are only seven warriors in the entire battalion plus Jiang Xia, and the number is really small and a little pitiful.

......

Under the respectful leadership of the staff, Jiang Xia and a group of nine people came to the private room arranged by Du Nian.

The private room is 200 square meters in size, and the location is high up, and the venue is full of tens of thousands of spectators and bidders.

The comfortable sofa and the sumptuous catering fruits made Jin Shi and the warriors in the camp feel a little surprised, it seems that the Lu family brothers are undoubtedly big shots, otherwise they would not be so valued by the Hades Exchange.

Jiang Xia sent a circle of cigarette cartridges to the brothers he had just met, and he found that the brothers were all worried, as if they had something on their minds.

Smoking cartridges is a hobby of earthlings, and the Lu brothers don't smoke them, but as martial god-level masters, they can see the nervousness of Jin Shi and others at a glance.

"I wonder if you have something important to do when you come to the Hades Exchange?" Lu Dongxia thought for a while and said, "It's not a secret, our brother still has some face in the Hades Exchange, if you need help, just ask, don't be polite." ”

Jin Shi was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said: "I have already heard Jiang Xia say that the two old men are not outsiders, so it is naturally good to ask you two for help, but in this matter, I am afraid that even the two of you will not be able to interfere." ”

Lu Chunqiu was a little unconvinced, "What a big deal?" Even we can't help? ”

Jin Shi smiled, "Actually, we were ordered by the headquarters to bid for the Space Jump Engine. ”

"Oh." Lu Chunqiu touched his head in embarrassment, "We really can't help with this matter, after all, the space jump engine is so hot now, even we are about to participate in the auction." ”

"I know." Jin Shi shrugged his shoulders, "According to intelligence, one of these four spatial jump engines is likely to be unlocked, and now all forces are moving and want to get this unlocked space leap engine." ”

Jiang Xia was stunned!

Space Jump Engine without Locks!?

As we all know, there are no more than ten forces in the galaxy that have mastered the technology of space jump engines, and this subversive and powerful engine has become an important strategic technology for the entire galaxy to grab at any cost.

Although the forces that own the space jump engines are strictly secret, there are still some engines that have flowed into the black market through various channels in order to make huge profits.

But getting a space jump engine doesn't mean you have space jump technology.

All spatial jump engines have password locks installed inside, and if someone tries to hack the engine and read the internal data, the engine will automatically destroy.

And a space jump engine without locks means that the country that gets it is likely to crack the space jump technology!

Even if the engine doesn't have a lock, it's still not easy to replicate such a powerful super technology, but there is hope after all! You can get a glimpse of the interior design!

"No wonder Zhai Leng will appear here." Lu Dongxia's voice raised a few points and said, "It turns out that he is coming for the unlocked space jump engine. ”

"No, no matter what, we can't let the people of the Big Night City get this engine! Winter and summer, give your ring to Du for a year and let him increase our credit limit. ”

Lu Dongxia nodded slightly, and then walked out of the room, and when he came back, the black ring on his hand was gone.

Jiang Xia knew that the ring in Lu Dongxia's hand was an artifact, with no less than two hundred cubic meters of space inside!

Now, this artifact-level ring was actually mortgaged to Du for one year by the Lu family brothers, which shows how much they attach importance to the space jump engine without a lock.

Jin Shi sighed and said, "I hope it can be successful, after all, there are four spatial jump engines in this auction, and no one knows which one is unlocked." ”

"When I came, Lord Warlord instructed me to do everything possible to get that unlockless engine, now the Earth Federation is too dangerous, and I need to improve my strength as soon as possible."

"The Federation is in danger?" Jiang Xia asked suddenly.

Jin Shi said: "Yes, it's not dangerous, it's extremely dangerous!" ”

"In the Eighth Rhine War, although we successfully defeated our old rival Pang Xin Empire for many years, we also lost a staggering number of fleets as a result."

"Brothers who died in battle can use reserves to go up, but starships need a long manufacturing period, a cruiser takes six years, a capital battleship takes twenty-three years, and a dreadnought-class flagship, or a standard aircraft carrier, it takes more than one hundred and five years."

"The current situation is that the territory of the Earth Federation has nearly doubled overnight, but the number of fleets has dropped by twenty-one percent because of the war."

"The defense situation of the Federation has never been so severe, and it is necessary to use the previous seventy-nine percent of the fleet to double the area of defense.

"According to reliable information, more than one enemy is eyeing us, after all, if they take out the Earth Federation now, they can get twice the size of the territory in the past, which is a huge temptation for any ambitious enemy."

Jiang Xia didn't speak.

Yes, the Pifu is not guilty, the strength of the Earth Federation has been greatly reduced because of the war, but the territory has expanded, so that all enemies will be staring at the Earth, and once they have the opportunity, they will definitely crush the Earth Federation.

At such a dangerous moment, if the Earth Federation can get a space jump engine without locks, it can master not all of it, even just a part of the space jump technology, and build a relatively fast fleet, and those enemies who are eyeing it from the sidelines will probably have to carefully consider the cost of starting a war.

The Lu brothers stood on the balcony of the private room, listening to Jiang Xia's conversation.

Lu Dongxia sighed and said: "It's rare, from the leader to the civilians of the earth, everyone can think about their own country, when Jin Shi said these things just now, he had tears in his eyes, his fists clenched, I believe that as long as this man has even the slightest chance to get a precious space jump engine for the earth, he will definitely rush forward at the cost of breaking his bones." ”

Ay~

Lu Chunqiu sighed and said: "I believe it, after all, they are hidden stars, a group of nameless people, for the sake of the country and the nation, they left their hometowns, kept their names incognito, and wandered outside for a lifetime, such a price is not something that anyone can bear." ”

"When I saw Jinshi for the first time, I understood why the Atomic Ant frigate of the Hidden Star Legion would rush forward so bravely and attack the enemy in such a tragic way as self-destruction in the battle of the Rhine Galaxy."

"Presumably, when they swore to join the Hidden Star Legion, they knew that one day, they would die a heroic death, so this is a group of men who have long put life and death out of the way."

"The Hidden Star Legion?"

"Maybe it's better for them to call the Legion of the Reaper."

"Earthlings are really a very strange people, since I came into contact with earthlings, I have been moved by their behavior more than once, one side of the water and soil to raise a family, I want to go to the earth as soon as possible, to see what kind of place it is, can raise such a group of guys."

Brother is still so impulsive, Lu Chunqiu shook his head, looked into the distance, and said lightly: "Let's solve the current problem first, you see, diagonally opposite us is Ma Zheng, the deputy head of Dongxing." ”

"Ma Zheng is here?" Lu Chunqiu was slightly stunned and looked up at the opposite side.

Lu Dongxia said: "This is not strange, among the twelve halls, only the Dao Academy has mastered the space leap technology, how can others be willing to lag behind, we don't engage in science and technology, so we don't care who has any technology, but it's not the same for others." ”

The lower floors of the auction center are full of seats, and the top floor is a row of private rooms for VIPs, and standing on the balcony of the private rooms, you can clearly see who is in the other private rooms.

Ma Zheng also saw the Lu family brothers, and they nodded lightly to each other, which can be regarded as greetings.

"Hehe, that's not the Ince of the clouds."

"Well, it's him, the woman with him is so young, it's probably his student."

"No way, Ince has always liked to eat grass next to the nest, and only eats tender grass."

"Look, the treasure mirror of the alder tree has also arrived."

"The treasure mirror must also be there in Baoyun, it is estimated that it is hiding in the dark, the two of them have always been one in the light and one in the dark."

"Iron Blood is getting stronger and stronger now, the Hades Exchange actually opened a private room for Iron Blood, although it is in the corner, but after all, it is on an equal footing with us, the war has caused a lot of losses to the Twelve Palaces, but it is a warmonger like Iron Blood, who took the opportunity to occupy a place and expand his own power."

The Lu family brothers are ranked in the top ten of the Sea Burial Flowers, and they are all figures with heads and faces in the entire galaxy, and they know extremely many people and forces.

In this way, the two of them stood on the balcony of the private room and kept observing, and saw more and more old acquaintances.

The Haidong Group of the Nine Heavens, the Stone of Light does not open, and the Asking Question Academy asks the emptiness, there are more and more weighty characters, and the atmosphere of the auction has become more and more tense.

In addition to the Twelve Halls of the Galaxy, Iron Blood, Crusaders, and Storm Spirits, there are many other powerful forces that are famous in the galaxy, all gathered here.

In the blink of an eye, there were a total of twenty-eight private rooms representing the highest level of status in the Hades Exchange, and twenty-seven of them were seated, and in terms of strength, each one was enough to make the galaxy tremble.

In the end, a round-faced, white-skinned old man sat in the private room directly opposite the Lu brothers, he came to the balcony, barely squeezed out a sneer on his fat face, and gently tapped the handrail of the balcony with his hand.

Lu Chunqiu snorted coldly and said lightly: "Okay, it's all here, look at this posture, I'm afraid there will be a bloody battle later." ”
