Section 63 The Bandage Merchant and the New Unit
The streets of the airport are spacious and very clean. Sitting on the hovering car traveling at high speed, the blood pupil was blank.
In fact, until now he had a somewhat unreal feeling. Everything around him was very different from what he knew. It's another world. Look at the fantastical buildings, high-tech cars, ruddy people and neat streets. It was as if he was dreaming.
This is the beginning of a new life......
"My lord, we're coming." The voice of the squire Jack was heard. Pulled the blood pupil out of the daze. He glanced back at the well-behaved squire. A gentle smile was revealed.
"Good. What is the main deal in this place you are talking about? ”
"There's a deal." Jack replied quickly, a rare hint of excitement on his face.
"It's a real black market. My lord. You should know that not everything in this universe will not be recognized, and it just so happens that the mercenary branch is a strictly managed place. In order to meet the needs of some people, such places appeared. But trust me, my lord, this place will be more satisfying than the superficial exchanges. As long as you have money, you can get almost anything. ”
"Also includes things from advanced civilizations?"
"Yes, sir. Everything, as long as there is money. ”
"Good. You're making me look forward to it even more. ”
Blood Pupil nodded in satisfaction. Keep your eyes on the front. At this moment, the speeding car is preparing to pass through a tunnel made of pure metal. The Blood Pupil noticed a faint six-pointed star sign above the tunnel. After the car entered the tunnel, Jack sneakily pulled a gadget out of his arms and pressed it.
"What's that?" Blood Pupil asked.
"A shortwave transmitter. My lord. Equal to one authentication card. Without it, we wouldn't be able to get into the black market. Jack blinked and replied quietly. This thing is not allowed. My lord, can you help me keep it a secret? ”
"I didn't see anything."
"Thank you, sir."
The speeding car continues on its way. But the Blood Pupil noticed that Jack pressed the transmitter. The vision in front of him dimmed. The transparent roof of the car gradually turns black and quickly becomes completely enclosed. Immediately afterward, the blood pupil felt the speed of the speeding car slow. And gradually sink.
"We're on the decline. The ground of this tunnel is movable. ”
"That's right, sir. But that's just how we feel. No one knows what the truth is. The black market can exist at the airport of each mercenary branch, and it must have strict protection measures. Of course, I'd rather believe they have a tough backstage. ”
"You're smarter than you seem. Jack. ”
"Thank you for your compliment. My lord. ”
The car went through dozens of re-routing and finally stopped. It rises and falls several times, sometimes rotating reflexively. Even the blood pupil couldn't figure out his direction. When the roof of the speeding car was opened, he immediately saw a huge square.
That's a huge space of more than 10 square kilometers. Above it was shrouded in a huge steel ceiling. It was densely packed with stalls. Countless people dressed in various costumes are shuttling. The shouting and selling came and went. The level of chaos is not at all like dealing in high-end goods.
But the truth is diametrically opposite, at least the blood pupils don't know anything here. They are all commodities that can only be produced in the high-level world realm. He was dazzled by what he saw. The squire Jack kept explaining to him, but even then the blood pupils couldn't remember much.
But fortunately, the purpose of the blood pupil is not these goods. It's about finding someone.
He listened to Jack's chatter in his ear, but his eyes moved through the crowd at high speed. Soon a familiar shadow was spotted in the corner of the square. There was a slight burst in his heart, he was really here.
I saw that there was a bandage merchant shouting in the direction of the blood pupil's gaze. Behind him was an old wheeled armored car. It is said that it is almost impossible for such a vehicle to appear in the universe. But he brought it, and it was placed in front of the public.
At the moment, he was selling some mysterious-looking potion. I was stunned when I found the blood pupil coming over, and then I was overjoyed.
"Hey, let me see who's coming. Isn't this my old customer Blood Pupil? Oh, it's supposed to be Bloodpupil-sama by now. How's it going, is the life of a vassal any better? Isn't it much more comfortable than planet X35? ”,
"............" The blood pupil was speechless for a while, looking at this unconscious guy, and couldn't help but ask an idiot question. How did you end up here? ”
"Hey, that's a sad thing for me. I'm here for what to do. Isn't this a black market? As a businessman, where should I be if I'm not here? Do you want me to sit in an office with a bright window and talk to you in a strict uniform? I think you're looking for the wrong person, young man. I'm just a businessman, that's all. ”
"............" black lines erupted on the blood pupils. You know, that's not what I meant. ”
"What does that mean? Are you talking about the difference between X35 planets and mercenary divisions? Okay, kid. Let me tell you, in the eyes of a qualified businessman, the biggest difference between them is that there is no difference. I only care if my product sells out, and as for the location, the hell cares about it. ”
The bandage merchant raised his chin and made a haughty gesture. "A businessman is to sprinkle his footprints in every corner of the universe. Bring what you need to your side. This is a sacred and glorious mission. Of course, you have to pay. ”
"Okay, I see." The blood pupil pinched his eyebrows in pain. The bandage merchant will not tell the truth to himself.
"Then get your merchandise out. Let me have what I need. As for the money, maybe I still have some. ”
"Boy. You're lying. You're not just a little bit of money......" The bandage merchant blinked, glancing mysteriously at Jack behind him. Then he smiled eerily. "As for the need, rest assured, this is the least problem."
As he spoke, he knocked on the carriage behind him. "Hey, bastard inside. Get out all my rags! ”
With a bang, the steel plates on both sides of the carriage suddenly opened in unison, and two long rows of stalls stretched out from inside. It was densely packed with tattered weapons and mutant beast materials from various sects. But this time, the merchant didn't let the blood pupil choose, but plunged into the stall and rummaged indiscriminately. It took him a while before he crawled out of the dust. Smashing a heavy lead box in front of the blood pupil.
"This is!?" Looking at the heavy lead box in front of him, the blood pupil was puzzled. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, he faintly has a feeling of excitement, as if there is something very important to him inside.
"Look at it, boy. I swear it's definitely what you need the most. You won't find it anywhere but me. The bandage merchant said proudly.
Jack, the squire next to him, hurriedly stepped forward to help Blood Pupil open the lead box. But it was stopped by the blood pupil. He glanced at the bandage merchant with a complicated expression. Then open the lead box with your own hands.
Immediately, a hexagonal object that shimmered with this blue light appeared in front of his eyes.
"Unit ......," the blood pupil groaned lowly. The whole person was stunned.
It wasn't the first time he'd seen a unit. But this unit was completely different from what he had seen before. Not only is it bigger, but the texture is more complex. The dense lines are walking in a geometric shape, and it looks very beautiful. The whole unit is brand new as if it had just been manufactured. In the crevices of the cell, the purple-black cell tissue is as tough as the roots of an old tree, strong and powerful.
Looking at this special unit, Blood Pupil's heart was full of shock, what kind of bandage merchant would know that he needed this thing? Why do you have this thing??
"You...... Who the hell is it? After a pause, he asked solemnly.
"It doesn't matter, does it? The important thing is that I provided the goods you need. And not for free. The bandage merchant replied with a grin. It seems that there is no realisation that there is a serious problem at this time.
But Jack, the squire next to him, seemed to suddenly remember something. Suddenly there was a scream. "Providing what is needed but not free...... You...... You are a member of the Hidden Merchants Association! You're a recluse! ”
"What do you mean?" Blood Pupil asked with a frown.
"Your Excellency. The Hidden Merchants Guild is the most mysterious chamber of commerce in this universe, and it is said that their members can appear in any corner of the universe. Nothing can stop them. They provide the goods that customers need the most, and they are never free. But the most important thing is that they only appear in front of approved customers, and others can't see them at all! Jack explained in a panic, but his eyes were fixed on the bandage merchant, as if he had seen a ghost.
"What??" Blood Pupil was startled. No one can see the hidden merchants. Could it be that this guy is invisible? But isn't he standing here clearly? And before that, the blood pupil had seen him shouting loudly. No one saw what else he was selling?
"Boy...... You know so much......" Hearing Jack's explanation, the bandage merchant suddenly said in a gloomy voice. Because the bandage is wrapped around and the facial expression is not clear. But you can feel a chill.
Jack's face changed suddenly, because he remembered another legend, the legend of the hidden merchants is not that no one has seen it, but that it has not been approved by them. All those who have seen it are dead......
Before he knew it, fear took over Jack's body and mind, and he trembled unconsciously.
"Ha, boy, just kidding. Where am I a hidden businessman? Seeing Jack's frightened look, the bandage merchant suddenly burst out laughing. You see, I have a shadow...... If it's a hidden business, there is no shadow. ”
"Really......" Jack breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the shadow at the bandage merchant's feet.
At this time, the blood pupil had just closed the lead box and held it in his hand. "I want this thing. How much? ”
"One hundred star coins." The bandage merchant blinked and replied with a smirk.
