The angle of the photograph is very low, and it seems to have been taken in secret, and there is a vacuum specimen chamber in which a naked man floats peacefully with his arms crossed, and his body is filled with tubes and wires of various instruments.

Ray could tell at a glance that the man was himself! and he had seen this scene in his sleep.

"There's also an encrypted video here, but unfortunately I haven't been able to crack it, and now I'm handing him over to you. Ray, now you know why I chose you, right? I happened to see you on the first day you entered Cappuccilon, so I had this plan. Yard handed Ray a fingernail-sized data chip.

"You've passed my test, and you've decided to tell you all this at this time, and there's nothing to hide from you now, and it's up to you how you decide. ”

Ray was silent for a moment and did not speak.

"Well, from now on you Murphy Yard will be my friend, and I will do my best whenever you need my help. I have one more request that I want you to fulfill. Ray quickly calmed down and made a promise to Yard.

"I know you want to go to the place where the photo is, the coordinates are behind the photo, and I want to hear what you plan to do next?" Murphy took the initiative to tell him after reading Ray's thoughts.

Ray flipped through the photo and glanced at it, and spit out a cloud of flame from his palm, and the photo turned into a black mist that dissolved in the air.

"I'll leave here when the Throne of Winter's ordnance line is working properly, go to that place first, and destroy the genetic sample, are you okay?" Ray asked Yade tentatively.

"Why, I don't want to get involved in this, looking at the people you provoked, they know it's too dangerous, and I have to thank you for destroying it. Murphy waved his hand and said, "It's almost winter now, and the Kroos family won't choose this time even if they want to fight back, but I'll stay in the winter for a while to be safe." ”

"Thank you for your selfless help to Lord Yard. ”

"I'm not that great, I'm going to take advantage of your payment mousse in the future, that's true. ”

Ray smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "I know, even so, you're still my friend." ”

Murphy Yard also smiled and reached out to hold Ray and said, "It's dangerous, it's too late for you to quit now, Cross's family is just a small branch, I can settle it for you." ”

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think this time, and the Murphy family will definitely arrest me at all costs. So now that we're on the same page, I'm in need of time now, and when the Shadows can take over the entire Borderlands, we'll be qualified to take on the Murphys. ”

"I'll do my best to get you, but it's not going to be too rosy, so you have to be prepared. Murphy Yard frowned, saying that he knew that many people in the family council were already suspicious of him, and that time was running out for the two of them.

Two days later, in the city of Seg, Kroos was on one knee, and everyone in the seat looked solemn.

"What you say is true?" asked the chairman's father, knocking on the table.

"I swear by my life that every word I just said is true. Cross said with his head bowed.

"Ridiculous! How can people have endless lives, immune senescence! I think you are just an excuse to evade responsibility. You shouldn't have been asked to do this in the first place, but if you let ......"

"Enough! Pay attention to your words and deeds, Buckle, are you questioning my leadership, and you should know very well the punishment for lying in a family meeting, he will not be ignorant to this extent. This will be proven later, and if he lied, I would kill him with my own hands, even if it was my son. Murphy Pard, the head of the house, used his identity to suppress the scene.

"You go down first, Cross, we still have something to discuss. ”

"Yes!" Cross stood up and saluted and exited the council chamber, despite his high status, he was not yet qualified to participate in the family council.

He knows how to capture Ray next, not to mention that Ray snatched the Winter Throne to challenge the interests of the entire Murphy family, and the value of Ray itself is no longer comparable to material, this is a mythical existence, making this world infinite possibilities!

"Ray, what the hell are you, really looking forward to the next meeting, what surprise will you give me?" Cross muttered to himself as he stood outside the door, his eyes full of greed and heat.

In the Winter Throne, Sain was talking to Ray, and when he learned that Ray was planning an ordnance line, he took the initiative to come to the door, and the arms trade has always been their survival industry, and if the behemoth of Shadow is involved, I am afraid that there will be no place for Sain in the future.

"Lei, what do you think of my proposal? I have a complete production line and technicians, as long as you provide steel and funds, it can be operated immediately, and I only need 20% of the output in return. Sain looked at Ray with a look of urgency.

Ray touched his chin and thought for a moment and said, "Your proposal is very good, and it just solves my problem." However, I am still not satisfied with the current production, especially in terms of ammunition supply. In this case, we will cooperate to double the production line, and the cost will be divided equally between the two of us, and in return you can take 30% of the production as a reward, and the ordnance line will be taken over by Shadow, and as for your Sain family's weapons trade, I can exempt all taxes as compensation. If you promise us to be allies, I'll keep your cargo safe and secure in the Shadows' territory. ”

Ray put forward his own conditions, and Sain analyzed the stakes, although he did not have control of the ordnance line, as a businessman, as long as he had interests, everything could be discarded, and the output at full load was not less than before, even if it was only thirty percent, not to mention that all taxes were exempted and the safety of goods was guaranteed.

"Lei, you are really too shrewd, and you really can't get any benefit from cooperating with you, but you don't suffer any losses. But you're not fit for business because you're not greedy enough. Sain smiled helplessly.

"Then it's okay if I amend the agreement to meet your requirements, then your answer is?" Ray asked him with rare humor.

"Happy cooperation!" "From now on, my ordnance line will be handed over to you. ”

"Trust me, I won't let you down. Ray shook Sain's outstretched hand.

After sending Sain away, Ray looked at the gloomy sky outside, a gust of wind was blowing with a chill, maybe it wouldn't be long before it snowed, and he subconsciously tightened his coat.

In fact, it doesn't really feel cold, with his current physique, it doesn't matter if he stays naked in the cold for a day, just because this leather coat was sewn for him by Christina overnight, and it is very warm to wear on his body at the moment.

Ray walked out of the living room only to find that he had nowhere to go, Ding Ran pestered Liana all day long, which made Lei unbelievable that now Liana did not resist Ding Ran's entanglement, and An Zifeng was busy helping Diona sort out affairs.

Compared with Ding Ran, the hand-shaking cadre of Hang'er Langdang, An Zifeng is much more reliable, and the good brothers in the Fallen Plains are busy cleaning up and placing prisoners and sorting out the spoils.

The only thing Ray could think of was Ferens, just to see if there was anything he needed help with.

Passing through the courtyard, Ray heard the sound of laughter coming from a hut on the east side, Ray knocked on the door, and Ference scolded angrily inside, "Why are you still outside, I said that I don't need to be served, especially when I am drawing, no one can disturb me!", this Brian is really blind, and he said that no one wants to serve him......"

Ray listened to the sound of the wooden legs hitting the floor and smiled bitterly, the door opened, and the angry Ference looked funny when he saw that it was Ray, and his face was angry, surprised, and a little embarrassed.

"Sorry for bothering you, Ferens. Ray grabbed the back of his head like a kid who had done something wrong, and apologized.

"Oh, Ray is you, I thought it was those two little girls, that, is there anything wrong with me?" I had only met with Ray a few times, but I didn't expect that Ray, who was the Lord of the Winter Throne, would apologize first, and he was almost incoherent at his age.

"I just want to talk to you, can I go in?"

"Look at my courtesy, come in, I'll tell Mina to bring some wine, you wait. Without waiting for Ray to respond, he dragged his stump away quickly.

"Mina, Mina, Ellie, damn it, I couldn't find anyone when I asked you to do something...... Mina!" Fehrens shouted at the top of his voice, forgetting that he had driven the man away.

When he returned to the room a moment later, Ray was looking intently at the pile of hand-drawn paper on the small wooden table, using only a simple pencil and not even a ruler to draw the complex weapon design as perfectly as a printed type, and the parameters of the proportions and lines made it look like a physical sample at a glance.

It took Ray a long time to come back to his senses, pointing to a drawing and asking Ferens, "The design of this gun is almost the same as that of an ordinary Barrett heavy sniper, but I don't know how powerful it is?"

"Ha, finally there is a knowledgeable person, even these subtle places have noticed, Ray, I enlarged the barrel by three millimeters and lengthened it by five centimeters, so that I can deploy several more sets of rifling, and the caliber of the bullet will also increase correspondingly, plus the bullet gunpowder I configure, the effective range can exceed 3500 meters, and at a distance of 800 meters, even if it is against the limelight of level 2, the deviation will not exceed 2 centimeters. Ferens pointed to Ray as he spoke.

Ray knew that this was just the operation data of ordinary people, and if there was a person who was proficient in third-order shooting, he could aim and launch, and under normal conditions, he could almost do 100 shots and 100 hits at a range of 1000 meters. It is a 500-meter more effective range advantage than the average Barrett.

"The biggest takeaway from taking the Throne of Winter in my eyes is getting to know you, Ferens, and I thank you for all that you've done for them. After saying that, Ray bowed respectfully to Ferenc.

It just so happened that at this time, the two maids came in with wine and meat, and they were stunned when they saw Lei's behavior, the first thing they were surprised was that they didn't expect Lei to come to visit him and didn't greet him, and secondly, in their cognition, a high lord could not salute his subordinates under any circumstances.

"Don't come to this, I'm a rough person, it's just up to you to help, hey, why are you two stunned, hurry up and bring it over." Ference cleaned up the wooden table and knocked on the maid.

The two women's faces turned pale, and after putting down their things, they knelt down in front of Lei and almost said in a crying tone: "We didn't know that the master was here, and we didn't greet the master and ask for forgiveness." ”

Layton felt a headache, he pulled the two of them up and said, "I won't blame you, and no matter who you don't have to kneel down in the future, we are all equal in the shadows, you are not anyone's slaves, now you are just doing work, you can leave whenever you want." ”

Mina and Ellie were held by Ray's shoulders and couldn't kneel, so they had to cry and say, "Master, we know it's wrong, please don't drive us away, we're going to die when we get out of here, woo woo woo ......"

Ray knew that it was the era when Heather and Cross were in power that poisoned their minds, and they couldn't change it for a while, so he waved his hand and said, "No one drove you away, forget it, you go down, you don't have to wait outside the door for the cold outside, I'll summon you when I need you." ”

Watching them leave, Fehrens looked at Ray meaningfully and said, "Ray, I know you are very kind, but you can't change everyone's lives, this world is too dark, you will suffer in the future." ”

Ray sat down in a chair and said, "A lot of people have told me like you, but I've never been at a loss, and I think I've always been lucky enough to meet your friends." I'm not doing this to change anyone, but to make them pick up their dignity, and one more difference is the way of survival. ”

But the hardest thing for people is to live with dignity, especially in this era. But there's always a convincing magic in you. Just when I thought this life would be uneventful, you appeared and started a different life for me. This is something I never dared to imagine before, and it is also something I dreamed of, thank you. "Ference, who has always been rough and rude, really surprised Ray by saying something delicate.

Looking at his dark blue eyes shining with wisdom, perhaps roughness is just a disguise for a numb life.
