Chapter 127: End of Contract
Port of the Dead, a week later.
The three capital ships were moored to berths under the guidance of the port navigation, representing the end of the "excavator" operation. The Draken laser rig was dismantled and recovered by Renault's rangers, although it was said that it was going to be returned to the big boss Mobius Foundation, but Yang Yi guessed that their group of rangers would most likely detain it. This kind of equipment is not something that can be bought with money alone.
The end of this operation means that their short period of cooperation has arrived. After arriving in Hong Kong, Renault transferred a sum of money to him, but the amount was really not small. This old cowboy is still quite generous to the people he works with, and to some extent, it has also changed Yang Yi's opinion of him a little - although several imperial ship girls around him have already given him a deeper influence.
"That's it, happy cooperation, boss." After A1 informed him that the money had arrived, Yang Yi's hanging heart finally let go, and his expression seemed to relax a lot.
"Happy working together, little one."
"Oh yes, wait a minute, boss...... Well, Mr. Renault. β
"Huh?" Renault, who was about to turn off the communication, was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" β
"Honestly, I don't think it's my turn, but I did take your tip, so I'll let me say more." He chuckled dryly, then his expression became serious, "I suggest you better watch out for Tadarin, and the Mobius Foundation, I always think there's something wrong with them. β
"You don't need to say it, everyone can see it." Renault nodded, "But the Rangers need money now, and I have the artifact they need, so you don't have to worry about it......"
"Well, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just ...... You also know that during the two times when he ran to fight Tadarin, Tadarin's death fleet never appeared, and the same time when he went to grab the razine, it can't help but make people suspicious......"
"I'm curious about it, too, but it's a good thing for us right now." The former sheriff didn't seem to be too worried, "The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming to cover up." Anything else? β
"No more, boss. May you one day overthrow the empire on your own strength alone. β
"Hah! And I wish you the day to become a legend of the Port of the Dead, lad! β
In this way, his contract with the Ranger was officially terminated, and now he returned to his status as a freelance mercenary. And the first thing he did was to let go of the restrictions on Black Rose. This guy has been suffocated during this time, and he has not had much chance to go out and "make out" with those caravans. On the other hand, he probably has to return to the pride of Ortaris for a while, and he also needs financial resources during this time, and the "income" of the Black Rose is naturally indispensable.
But before he could make his next move, news from the Harbor of the Dead Management Committee stopped him. Signed by the famous pirate and leader of the Marauder fleet, Mira Han. The news is that there is a job to find him, and it seems to be a hurry.
When he showed up at the Governing Council's reception room at the scheduled time with Black Rose, where it seemed that a meeting had just been held, he saw several pirate and mercenary leaders he knew, and greeted them when they did, but they all left in a hurry.
After checking his identity and schedule, the Marauder Pirate at the door confirmed his arrival and opened the door to let him and Black Rose inside, taking their weapons as they went. And in the conference room, in the midst of smoke, Mira Han was sorting through the scattered meeting papers.
"You are here, please take a seat." Mira Han saw the two of them enter the door and pointed to the couch in front of him. The whole reception room is not large, just a coffee table and a few sofas around it, and Mira Han sits in the first seat.
"Okay, ahem...... Yang Yi, who was not used to the smell of smoke, coughed twice, agreed and sat on the sofa next to Mira Han with Black Rose.
"The fan is always on, so the smell of smoke will dissipate after a while." Mira Han said without raising her head, "Commander Yang, I heard that your contract with the Ranger has ended?" β
"Yes. Do you have any commissions from us this time? The email didn't say exactly what the commission was, but I guess it's not small, right? β
"Well, I can't say the customer's name, you know the rules, but I can tell you that it was sent by a government dignitary from Yumoyan." Mira Han nodded, pushing a document in hand in front of the two men, "This is a brief summary, and I'll send you the details later." β
Yang Yi hurriedly took the document and handed it to Black Rose. Black Rose is a ship girl, and her memory and browsing speed are much faster than her own, and she is also faster than herself in grasping key points.
Yumayan...... Garrison mission?! Black Rose exclaimed, "Huh?!" Isn't this the job that the Yumayan Protector Army is going to do? β
"Huh?" Yang Yi was also stunned, "Guarding Yu Moyan? Could it be that there are small strongholds guarding the periphery? β
"No, the mission is to defend Yumoyan." Mira Han looked up, revealing the bloodshot streaks of her eyesβwell, one-eyed, because her other eye wasn't original human, "Specifically, to defend Yomayan from any possible threats, including the Imperial fleet and the Aliens...... Or the group of one-tendoned star spirits. β
"But ......"
"The pay is 200,000 credits?!" Black Rose exclaimed again, "So many?!" That's enough to arm a fleet, right?! β
Yang Yi's heart suddenly became alarmed, such a high reward is still to defend such a major planet as Yumoyan...... It's definitely a life-and-death mission.
"I know what you're thinking, first of all, this task is not just for you, I invited a lot of people to take it together, so in the end, this task is for you to share the 200,000 ...... together" Mira Han paused, and then the pirate leader looked him in the eye, "Secondly, I want to give you an additional mission...... It's just for the two of you...... Or only for you Black Rose Pirates. As she spoke, she pulled out a document from the bottom of the file she had organized, and held it with her back facing up.
"You can choose to pick it up now, or you don't. I can't tell you what the mission is about unless you take it. β
"Heh, three no tasks? Is that right? Yang Yi sneered.
In the Port of the Dead, the most avoided by pirates and mercenaries is the three-no mission, that is, the so-called "three-no mission" that has no mission content before choosing to accept, no survival guarantee and no reward information, all information can only be known after choosing to accept, once you know it, either complete or killed, there are only two ways to choose. Many people have died under this kind of three-no task, some choose to regret it after knowing it and then be done, some are taken over the task and die when the task is taken, and some are done after completing the task for the sake of secrecy, and few can survive anyway.
"Yes, but at least I can tell you that it pays well." Mira Han didn't deny, "How? Are you going to pick it up? β
Yang Yi and Black Rose glanced at each other, and with a negative EQ, he didn't see what Black Rose's eyes meant, but Black Rose had already been instigating him through the command network.
"Okay, I'll take it."
(PS: I don't have to write if I don't pick up...... οΌ
