Chapter 3 Preparations
As the first veteran republic to complete the modernization of magic technology, its comprehensive national strength ranks first among the seven major countries in the world, so the common currency of the Republic of Cavin is also the most valuable currency in the world's financial community. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This can be seen from the fact that the maximum denomination of the Carvin is only 20 carats.
200,000 calvin coins is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for Shak, who can only maintain his living expenses by robbery, you must know that last night he risked offending the two underworld forces in Molbok City, and the actual amount of the box of banknotes he snatched back was only about 300,000, but after burning more than half, the real amount was less than 100,000 yuan.
So Shak signed an employment contract with Adeline very respectfully and happily, and at the same time despised these "local tyrants" who spent a lot of money in his heart. 200,000 calvin coins are not to say that they are used to hire detectives to find people, even if they directly hire killers to kill people, it is enough. He remembered that his landlady, Ms. Wadden, had recently bought a home-built magic hovercar that didn't seem to be worth the price.
According to the contract, Adeline had already left half of the commission before leaving, and looking at the six-figure amount of extra money in her bank account on Zhinao, Shakle's eyes narrowed into a thin line. On his left hand side was a leather box with 10,000 kcal dollars in cash, which Shak had additionally "requested" from Adeline for "reconnaissance and equipment expenses".
Although Shak admits that Adeline is indeed beautiful, and even almost conquered his restless heart, he has no mercy when bargaining, and he has never let go of the "fat sheep" sent to his mouth.
"Boss~~" A goosebump sounded in Shak's ears, Shak shuddered, and when he turned around, he saw Molissa's big eyes shining with starlight.
Xia Ke coughed dryly, pretended to be calm and opened the leather case, lit a small stack of banknotes and handed it to the little girl: "Oh, I owe you half a year's salary, and the rest will be regarded as a bonus......"
"Ha, thank you boss, I know that Brother Xia Ke is the best!" Molissa took the bill, kissed it, and threw herself into Shak's arms. Shak was startled, and before he could say anything to stop it, he heard an overwhelmed moan from the broken couch he had picked up from the thrift stall underneath the fart, and the two of them flipped out of the couch together.
Twenty minutes later, Shak touched the chin that was hurt by Molissa and went out, the little girl looked petite and delicate, and her strength was really not small, the people of the Eves tribe were really talented, all of them were freaks with equal beauty and strength, no wonder they would become the favorite prey of human traffickers.
"However, the little girl's figure is much more than it seems......"
Shak's first stop was not to rush to the Wulf docks immediately, and since he had the money, he naturally had to add some commonly used equipment to himself first. As for the unlucky rich man Norman who disappeared, Shaq didn't pay much attention to it. There are only three reasons for the disappearance of the rich man, either he was kidnapped by kidnappers, or he was assassinated, and one possibility is that he himself took the initiative to hide.
If it is a kidnapping, then the hostage's life is not in danger until the kidnapper receives the expected benefits; If he was assassinated, then what he had to do was actually to find the victim's body, in that case, it would not be a big deal to be sooner or later, but if there were the right tools to help, it would be twice the result with half the effort. And the commission he received was to find people, not the murderer, so he became more and more calm; As for the third possibility, then this guy named Norman must be running away from something, and there is no point in blindly searching without a thorough understanding of the target.
Shak himself is inclined to the first possibility, so while he goes to buy equipment, he is actually waiting, after all, it will take some time for the kidnappers to demand the ransom from the successful kidnapping. A mature kidnapper will never be in a hurry to contact the other party's family as soon as the meat ticket arrives, and an appropriate delay in time can make the hostage better on the one hand, and on the other hand, let the hostage's family wear some will in anxious waiting, so that the next step of the ransom process will be smoother.
Shak obtained a "gun license" when he was at Remiss Academy, so even if he didn't go through illegal means, he could buy some non-standard magic firearms in weapon shops in various cities, and he could also buy a set of magic armor below the high magic level.
These things were consumables, and the weapons he used in the past were either destroyed or lost before he came to Morbock City, and there was basically no reservation. After coming to Morbock City, he couldn't afford to buy it again with his net worth.
Fortunately, when Xia Ke was a child, he followed a wandering martial artist to learn the almost lost ancient martial arts for a short time, and successfully opened up a small fighting spirit vortex in his body, and had a certain ability to resist fire.
It's just that compared to the warriors of the old era, his little bit of fighting spirit cultivation can only be regarded as an entry-level rookie, not only must he rely on the fire source of the outside world when he shoots, but most of the tricks he uses are flashy, at most they have a surprise effect when facing the enemy.
The magic armor is the same as the magic energy gun in terms of power source, it uses a charged magic core, but the magic gun directly converts the magic energy into an energy beam and launches/out, while the magic armor uses magic energy as a power to urge the armor to move, which is used to improve the defense and movement of the equipper.
Not all of the magic armor is as full of armor as the two killers last night, and there are also some second-level lightweight magic armor that is only installed in a few main parts of the human body, and the size is small, and hiding under clothing will not affect the appearance or the driving force of the armor.
And what Shak is buying at the moment is such a set of lightweight primal demon-level magic armor, a few pieces of armor similar to a certain kind of leather, naturally fitting to the surface of his skin, and almost not feeling their existence after putting on clothes, but as long as he needs it, he can burst out the power of this armor in an instant.
It's not that he doesn't want to buy a set of medium-level demon-level magic armor, but it's really that the price difference of nearly ten times makes Xia Ke feel a little faintly painful, and with his own skills, even if he just has an extra set of primary-level demon-level magic armor, the strength he shows will not be weaker than ordinary gangsters wearing high-level demon-level magic armor.
Instead of spending money on magic armor, it's better to save it for some other, more useful equipment.
Two magic pistols, one ice and one fire, are enough in attributes to suit most combat environments. A set of the latest miniature communication devices, a pair of sunglasses with three types of visual scanning functions, and a few inexpensive but very useful gadgets, Shaq had spent all the cash left in the leather case, and had withdrawn a few hundred calories from his bank account.
Stopping by a nearby clothing store to change his outfit, it was already after 3/o'clock in the afternoon when the refreshed Shack stopped a taxi bound for the Wulf docks.
It has been more than twenty-four hours since Mr. Norman disappeared, but the expected kidnapper's phone call still did not appear, and Adeline on the other end of the communicator was in a rather bad mood, so Shaq felt that he should do something about it, after all, collecting money to do things is the basic work ethic of their business.
The Wulf Dock is not a seaport, it faces the largest inland lake in the Republic of Carven, Lake Sujmir, and the whole city of Morbock is like a fist in a large lake, with water in three directions except the northwest side, so most of the residents of Morbock choose to take passenger boats when traveling to and from other cities.
Plane? There is no such tool, not to mention Molbock City, not even the entire Northumbland world. The sky of Northumbran is a forbidden area for terrestrial creatures, and legend has it that in ancient times, it was the abode of the gods, and later, with the fall of the gods, countless spatial rifts appeared in the seemingly empty sky at some point. Once an object touches these spatial rifts, the terrifying spatial turbulence will tear them into countless pieces in a short instant.
There may be flying vehicles powered by magic energy that can fly short distances at low altitudes, but the high risk and low cost performance make it impossible for this vehicle to be used on a large scale. As a result, stations and docks are the most important transport hubs for travelling in Northumbland.
……
As Shak's shiny new leather shoes stepped onto the flat concrete floor of the Wulf Quay, a luxurious Arsa hovercar drove slowly through the crowded traffic of Meckstrasse.
"Why should such a simple thing be handed over to an outsider? With our strength, even if some peripheral forces are dispatched casually, we can easily do it, right? The swarthy/black-skinned bald driver, holding the steering wheel with both hands, suddenly asked angrily.
"That's what Mr. Luther meant......" On the leather sofa in the back row, the blonde beauty had already loosened the bun at the back of her head, casually brushed the broken hair around her ear, and replied indifferently, "The stronghold of Lohan City was investigated by the government not long ago, and that stupid man of Moni didn't have time to dispose of all the documents, and there must have been a lot of information in the hands of the Calvin government." Now that our power is deliberately shrinking all over the country, Mr. Luthor does not want us to be exposed too much to the public, and to keep a low profile as much as he can. ”
The bald driver let out a cold snort from his nostrils, was silent for a moment, and his voice suddenly became fierce: "It's all that damn bastard, if it falls into my hands, I'm going to crush his bones inch by inch!" ”
"Don't worry, you'll have this chance......" The woman in the back row covered her mouth and smiled, leaning on the sofa cushion a little lazily, and said lightly, "This detective friend of ours is not an ordinary character, I happened to see him shoot last night, I guess it won't be under you in a fight." ”
"Qiang-" As if stimulated by the woman's words, the driver of the car suddenly let out a low roar that was not human, and a pair of blue eyes suddenly shrank into a vertical line, and the steering wheel made of hovering car alloy let out an overwhelmed moan under his grip.
