Gao Mo also once compromised.

However, the word "compromise" must pay attention to the time, place, and object.

This is Redstone, a gathering place for sin. The people in this city are either scum or garbage, and even if they compromise, there is no need to give them special preferential treatment.

If it weren't for the fact that all the spars paid by Su Hao were white, Gao Mo wouldn't have even approved a copy of the promotion document. The big guy doesn't favor a strange little guy for no reason. In the romance novel, the plot that ordinary people can casually meet the emperor who leaves the palace in micro-clothes, so as to redress their grievances and live a happy life, is always a deceptive nonsense. Even if there is a similar plot in reality, it is not your turn to speak at all, and the fierce guards around the emperor have already thrown you into the stinky ditch on the side of the road with their clothes, because you are in the way of others, you should get out!

Thinking of this, the female assistant succinctly agreed, turned around and walked out of the room with the above jiàn.

……

The headquarters of the "Thunder" Corporation is located in the northwest corner of Redstone City. It is a low-rise complex of buildings, not to mention any planning, all of which are two or three stories of brick and stone buildings, which together form a courtyard in the shape of a "concave", with a barricade in the middle of the alley leading to the main street, and several heavy and large triangular horses blocking the middle of the road, surrounded by several armed men with rifles. These people do not have uniform uniforms, and although they are on guard, they are not vigilant enough, and their expressions appear relaxed, and they can even be said to be indifferent.

Led by Sam, Su Hao walked up the stairs to the south of the buildings. In the process, he saw a few old and tattered trucks parked in the yard, and a few people were chattering rather boredly. Even though they were all second-order evolutionary people, no one showed the alertness and combat power corresponding to this physique. These things can indeed be seen on the surface, at least, in Su Hao's memory, those soldiers on the earth who have experienced biological warfare and these people in front of him are fundamentally two extremes. The former has great power but has long been sophisticated, and the latter, although weak, has experienced a hundred battles, and although he will be afraid and afraid in the face of a strong enemy, he will never turn around and run away, but rush forward to fight to the death regardless of a qiē.

Sam led Su Hao into a room at the corner of the stairs.

Even though it was daytime, the light in the room was not very bright. There were two people in the room, standing rather young, with sharp eyes and fierce expressions, as if everyone was his enemy, and he himself instinctively unleashed hostility towards any target.

The middle-aged man seated was older. He was not very tall and wore an old-fashioned gray-green Imperial military uniform. Of course, there is no collar badge, and there is no rank on the shoulder. With a flat head, he looks shrewd and capable. The two of them were talking about something in a low voice, but when Sam walked into the room with Su Hao, they immediately stopped talking. After listening to Sam's brief explanation, the middle-aged man motioned to the young man who was standing to take Sam out, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the chair leaning against the wall, motioning for Su Hao to sit down.

"My name is Charlie."

The middle-aged man introduced himself briefly and orderly, and then asked, "Sam is a friend of Tobias, huh!" It's the guy you just saw. He should have told you that we are in dire need of manpower, how about it, and would you be interested in participating? ”

Su Hao nodded slightly: "I know some, but it's not very complete." ”

"Hell! Why does everyone come and ask me to be a docent? ”

Charlie scratched his head and made a helpless expression: "Okay! Looks like I'm going to have to repeat what I said to another guy half an hour and a half ago. I should have recorded it all and it would have been much easier. ”

While complaining, he took out a pre-printed piece of paper from the Wen Jiàn folder on his desk and handed it to Su Hao.

That's a map. The picture is very rough and is simply something drawn with a pencil. It is marked with a circle and text indicating the location of Redstone City, and a thick, black line with arrows pointing northwest. At the end of the arrow, there is a large scrawled pencil smear, and next to it are several striking text notes: black areas.

"The place we're going to is the connection between the black and the gray areas."

Charlie crossed his fingers on the table, carefully observing the changes in the emotion on Su Hao's face: "We usually think of the gray area as a buffer zone between humans and dark creatures. But in reality, the location of Redstone City also has the same meaning as the gray area. Imperial civil officials refer to us here as the "Yellow Zone", which means front. ”

Su Hao's eyes moved away from the map, stared at Charlie who was sitting opposite, and shook his head unhappily: "I have never liked this kind of name. ”

"I don't like it either."

Perhaps finding common ground between the two men, Charlie grinned: "Regional restrictions don't really make any sense. The higher dark creatures will cross the boundaries of the region to kill our people, and we will go and kill them as well. The requirements of this mission are somewhat special, and we are understaffed, so we can only recruit some from outside. ”

Su Hao asked bluntly: "What is the task?" ”

What exactly is the mission? Sam himself doesn't know. He just told Su Hao that he had a chance to make a lot of money. As a bartender, you are born to be the best medium to spread and deliver the message among the right people. In the face of Su Hao's questioning, Sam also famously said that this matter is good for himself. The other party is from "Thunder", and promises that Sam will be paid a silver coin for each suitable mission participant.

Su Hao instinctively didn't believe Sam. However, the name "Thunder" intrigued him.

It is an organization with an organizational framework similar to that of a company. There are shareholders, and there are also executives who are specifically responsible for specific matters. "Thunder" involves a wide range of business fields, but at the end of the day, it is more like a security company composed of mercenaries. Of course, this statement is official, but if it is changed to the background of Red Rock City, it is actually responsible for the violent business of helping people spend money to eliminate disasters.

"The mission is sent from within the Empire."

Charlie was not impatient with Su Hao's repeated questions. In his opinion, only those who are genuinely interested in the task and have the ability to participate will ask more clearly about the details: "There was a distinguished customer who wanted to order a sapphire necklace, and the jewelry store gave us the task. The period before and after is only four months. Now, there are three months and twenty-eight days left. ”

Su Hao asked incomprehensibly, "Sapphire necklace?" ”

"Actually, it's a blue spar."

Charlie spread his hands and said in a sarcastic tone, "This thing is actually not difficult to get." Several battles take place in the Imperial Warzone every year, and any Dark Knight will burst out of blue hedrons. Strictly speaking, aquamarine isn't a rare thing. But the thoughts of those nobles are never something we can understand. They love all kinds of beautiful and luxurious ornaments, such as beads made from the skulls of high-ranking humanoids over 500 years old, flutes made from the thigh bones of the Earl of Darkness over 2,000 years old, and the eyes of young virgin humanoids......"

"Eyeballs?"

"That's right! It's the eyeballs. It had to be removed from a living humanoid and operated by a specially trained professional. They use sensitive techniques to peel off all the organs and tissues outside the eyeball, put the whole eyeball into a special solution, operate it in a zero-degree constant temperature environment, and use surgical tools to tear off the membrane on the surface of the eyeball. Due to the condensing effect of the potion itself, the crystalline fluid inside the eyeball does not overflow and still retains its crystal round shape. The soaking of the potion should last for more than half a year, or even longer. Because the surface of the eye is constantly forming a new condensation layer, which is equivalent to the original layer of the eye membrane, similar surgeries need to be performed over time and changes in the eyeball. In general, dissection surgery requires at least 20 or more rounds to finally obtain a fully condensed spherical lens. The aristocrats called this kind of thing "Ryukyo ball". ”

Su Hao frowned: "What's the use of this thing?" ”

Charlie opened his mouth and made a gesture of reaching out and picking up something and stuffing it inside: "Eat it." ”

Su Hao was a little puzzled: "Is it food?" ”

"It is a very expensive, beauty, fitness, longevity and other functions in one, and the value is unimaginable."

Charlie smiled "hehehehehe", his expression was a little exaggerated, and he also sighed a little: "In terms of genetic arrangement, dark creatures are very similar to us. In particular, the eyeballs of virgin humanoids after being soaked can produce some very mysterious effects. The effect of the potion is to precipitate the impurities in the crystal fluid inside the eyeball, causing them to condense on the surface of the eyeball to form a film. This episthetic layer appears at regular intervals and must be very careful by the surgical operator responsible for the peeling. In this process, the inside of the eyeball must not be touched, otherwise it will puncture the extremely soft substance hardened under the membrane, and all the crystal liquid inside the membrane will flow out, and the previous series of work will be completely destroyed. ”

Su Hao's tone was uncertain: "Is it so exaggerated?" ”

"Of course!"

Charlie's face suddenly became stern and serious: "You can't imagine those big people nitpicking in terms of luxury. Although the Ryukite crystal ball that has been soaked for more than half a year is already considered a finished product, in the eyes of the aristocratic lords, the Ryukite crystal ball for half a year can only be regarded as an inferior product of poor quality. Only Ryukite balls that have been soaked for more than 10 years and stripped ten times can be put into circulation as "ordinary grade". The longer it is stored and the more times it is peeled, the more expensive it becomes, the more functional it is, but the more likely it is to go wrong during the procedure. A few years ago, the Duchess of Aung San once took a Ryukyu crystal ball that is said to have been soaked for more than 90 years. The old woman's face was wrinkled, old and ugly, and her face was no different from a walnut that had been dehydrated for a long time. The effect of the Ryukyu ball was soon manifested, and the duchess gained new vitality. It is said that the old man is now about the same as a twenty-year-old woman, and needs at least four men every night to satisfy the intense hunger needs of her mouth below. I really don't know what the Duke of Aung San thinks, if this kind of thing happened to me, Lao Tzu would rather sell that woman to a brothel than let her put a lot of green hats on Lao Tzu. ”

Su Hao's expression was a little exciting. Charlie's words are actually not difficult to understand, whether it is the earth or the Red Dragon Planet, there are always some parts of life between people in high positions and ordinary people that cannot overlap and are unimaginable. Because of this, Su Hao felt that Charlie had not deceived himself, and he would not treat this kind of thing as a fairy tale.

He stroked his chin slowly and asked thoughtfully, "Can you tell me about that blue necklace?" So what's going on. ”

"Hedrons are a specialty of dark creatures. In a certain way, the spar is equivalent to a human fingerprint, which is unique and non-repeatable. ”

Charlie is supposed to be a very talkative person, and the explanations are detailed enough. He opened the drawer, took out a white spar, and rolled it back and forth in his palm: "Except for the color and size, few people notice the difference between the spars. In fact, the higher the level and the stronger the dark creature, the purer and smaller the size of the spar produced in the body. I don't know why this kind of thing is in dark creatures? Anyway, I don't like it, and I don't want to have such a stone in my head. They are all different in shape, especially in gloss and color, and they are also very different. Only the most transparent hedron can be used as a cosmetic material. In particular, the spars in the bodies of the Dark Earl and the Marquis, as long as they appear in the market, will immediately cause the nobles to scramble. It's a symbol of status and power, and there's a lot of energy in it. ”

"Count?"

Hearing this, Su Hao's expression became very strange.

The time he has been in the third stage world is not too short, and he has some understanding of the level and strength of dark creatures.

It was a pyramid arrangement that was the same as Earth's ancient knighthood rank. The weakest dark creature is the corpse man that Su Hao had killed in the gray area before. They are equivalent to miscellaneous soldiers in the dark world, and their specific strength ranges from the fifth level of enhancement to the first-level evolution of the primary, middle, and high stages. The strength of dark creatures increases in the same way as humans, and they also grow in their natural state, and as long as they reach the second-level evolution standard, they can become warriors in the dark forces.

A dark creature with **** evolutionary strength, known as a "knight". Among them, there are also ordinary knights and elite knights. Generally speaking, the Dark Knight has warriors of their own strength around them. The relationship between each other is equivalent to that of the master and the servant of the ancient feudal society of the earth.

Only dark creatures that have reached level 4 evolutionary strength can have knighthoods. They rarely appear in the gray area, and only the regular regiments and high-ranking officers of the Reich can compete with them. Level 4 only corresponds to the lowest baron among the dark creatures. And they are already powerful opponents that Su Hao can't imagine, and it is impossible to fight with them head-on.

It is conceivable that when Su Hao hears terms such as "earl" and "marquis", what kind of impact will it have on his thinking?

"Don't worry, that kind of monster is not something we can deal with."

Charlie saw through Su Hao's thoughts, and smiled disappreciatively: "I'm not crazy enough to take the initiative to die for money." The goal of this mission is only the Dark Knight. The point is that they are not one, but a whole seven. ”

"Seven?"

"They're multiples."

Charlie finally pointed out the crux of the task: "Even among the hundreds of thousands of spars, it is difficult to find two equivalents that are basically similar in shape, luster and color. Each dark creature is unique, and only in the twins will you find a high-purity spar that approximates more than ninety-nine percent. The seven Dark Cubs belong to a well-known Dark Family. They know that they are valuable and they live very carefully. If it weren't for the merits that were necessary for the promotion of knighthoods on the battlefield, they would not have left the hinterland of the dark realm and entered the gray area. ”

Su Hao heard another meaning from these words: "Why, you have been monitoring them? ”

The dark world also has the word "traitor". ”

Charlie didn't hide his thoughts in the slightest. Perhaps, Su Hao's second-order evolutionary strength is indeed not necessary to hide it in his opinion with third-order evolutionary strength: "A lot of information between the human world and the dark world is flowing between each other. They know what we like, and we know what they need. The Ryukite ball and the spar thing sounds weird, doesn't it? The dark world also treats us as commodities and food. They love newborn babies, and their soft and warm flesh will not even be rejected by the Duke of Darkness. They are especially fond of handsome and beautiful human men and women, and believe that cultured nobles are better than vulgar and lowly commoners. Young people, there are actually many ways to get rich. If you can kidnap the Duke of Empire's most beloved little granddaughter, you can claim a large bounty from the Dark World. Whatever you want, they will give you. Similarly, if some dark traitor brings the head of a certain dark duke, or even the dark king, the empire will enshrine it like a treasure. The premise is that someone has to dare to do it, and it can succeed. ”

"We've known the news of the seven dark cubs since they were born. It's not just us "Thunder" who are eyeing them. Seven identical blue crystals can be made into beautiful bracelets, or necklaces. No noble lady or lady could resist such a treasure. The devastating blue sheen would make them tremble, and even the Empress of the Empire would not be able to resist its charm. It's a big deal, but it's also dangerous. I'm not talking about the dark creatures. We have a lot of competitors, and there are others who want to make this business. Even if you get your hands on the hedrons, those greedy people won't let you go. Instead, tear you to shreds and find out the loot you have hidden inside your body. "The king's head, the empire will also enshrine it like a treasure. The premise is that someone has to dare to do it, and it can succeed. ”
