Chapter 143: Windfall
Dealing with this group of pirates didn't take much time.
After all, whether it is him or the Night Guard, the main enemies are Chaos and demons, compared to this tattered third-rate star thief, basically as long as he makes a move, he will inevitably take down. Even the pirates who invaded the merchant ships were mercilessly killed by the Night Guards.
Duanmu Huai interrogated the star thief leader who was trembling and almost scared to pee his pants, and found that this group of pirates was indeed not very good. Just like the corridor in disrepair that Duanmu Huai saw before, the pirates in the entire fleet could not be poorer than sour, perhaps this Holy Grail class was the most valuable thing they had.
In addition to this, they also held a group of indigenous slaves they had captured from various planets in the battleship, most of them humans, and a small number of alien races. According to the confession of the star thief leader, the reason why he attacked the merchant ship was to seize the goods and food——— and their rations were not even enough for the crew to eat.
It can be seen that this group of pirates is really miserable.
Sending two night guards and the leader of the star thieves to inspect the goods and prisoners below, Duanmu Huai sat on the chair and sighed helplessly. It's really too much of a group of pirates, and in his opinion, it's not challenging at all, and it would be a little more fun if they had a black bean sprout or something.........
"Your Excellency."
At this moment, Duanmu Huai saw a night guard walk in and saluted him respectfully.
"The captain of the Risk Assessment wants to see you."
"See me? All right. ”
Duanmu Huai didn't think much about it, just nodded, and soon, he saw that he was wearing a similar mink coat, with a strong and burly figure, he was wearing a beaver fur hat, and a mustache on the side of his mouth, looking like a shrewd and capable businessman, looking at Duanmu Huai sitting on the command chair, the man was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned pale, he reached out and took off his hat, put it on his chest respectfully, and lowered his head.
"It is a great honour to meet you, Your Excellency the Great Inquisitor, and I am the captain of the Risk Assessment, Dardanelles. Thank you, Soras, for saving us from danger, and if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd ......... this time."
"Okay, no more polite words."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"Well, I want to make a deal with you."
"Transaction......... Is it?? ”
"That's right."
Duanmu Huai nodded.
"I can sell you this ship, and you just need to give me some cargo in exchange."
To be honest, after taking a detailed look at the internal situation of this Holy Grail-class, Duanmu Huai was completely disappointed in this ship, only one-tenth of the weapon system can operate, even the Void Shield generator is broken, and the other life-sustaining equipment is basically old, to be honest, this Holy Grail-class is a real golden jade and its external defeat is in it, there is work to repair it, Duanmu Huai might as well start the Void Dock and build one by himself!
"You're not going to leave this battleship behind?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Dardanelle was obviously a little surprised, although he also saw that the interior of this ship was not very good, but for this era, any warship was almost an incomparable treasure. After all, after the destruction of the Human Empire, there are fewer and fewer places that can make large warships, and a warship like this, even if only the shell is intact, as long as it can still fly, it is the best cargo for any interstellar businessman!
"Not intended."
Of course Duanmu Huai doesn't need it, he can make it himself, why waste this time?
"So......... What goods do you want? ”
"Interesting, rare, mysterious, as long as it satisfies me."
Saying this, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at Dardanelles below. That's why he met with Dardanelle and offered a deal. These wandering cosmic ronins will always have some strange items in their hands, many of which are holy relics, and if Duanmu Huai can get a few holy relics from Dardanelles and convert them into building points, it will be much more valuable than a Holy Grail.
Not to mention, many holy relics are quite useful, such as the gravity glove currently used by Duanmu Huai. Basically, for players, a good relic can even span several versions without fading.
As for whether the captain was willing, Duanmu Huai felt that this was not a problem. Because most of the holy relics are things that can only be used by inquisitors, space marines or psionics, just like Duanmu Huai's thunder war hammer, don't look at him can hold the sweep with one hand, but in the hands of ordinary people, four hands may not be able to lift it.
This kind of thing is put in the hands of ordinary people, either as a treasure at the bottom of the box, or simply enshrined as a symbol of faith——— well, provided that they don't worship some evil gods or the holy relics of the rebel warband, otherwise Duanmu Huai will have to discuss the issue of loyalty with them.
At that time, I didn't know if it was the star thieves or Duanmu Huai who were more of a threat to these merchants.
"This ....................."
Dardanelle was obviously hesitant in the face of Duanmu Huai's request, but soon, he nodded.
"Yes, Your Excellency, please wait a moment."
After saying this, Dardanelle saluted Duanmu Huai respectfully, and then turned to leave. And at this time, the star thief leader had already walked back again dejectedly under the escort of the two night guards. Soon, one of the Night Guards handed the list to Duanmu Huai.
"That's all the captives?"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Uh-huh..............."
Duanmu glanced at the parchment written in Low Gothic, which showed that most of the captives were humans, and the rest were some low-level aliens who were not much stronger than Ogel......... Well?
However, at this time, Duanmu Huai suddenly found a special term from the list.
"Psyker?"
He looked up in surprise and looked at the Star Thief Leader.
"You've captured a psyker? Where are the people? ”
To be honest, Duanmu Huai really doubts that this group of people has this ability, after all, psionics are basically superpowers or mages in the general world, and with this kind of star thief, can they really catch a psionics? Did he think they were the Forbidden Army or the Silent Nun?
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
"Great, spare your life!
”
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the star thief leader was also frightened and lay on the ground and didn't dare to get up.
"We don't know if it's a psyker, but we heard that the family has been psykers for generations, so we caught it......... Moreover, that imp does have some strange powers........."
"What about people?"
"Uh......... Right next to your chair, adult........."
"Huh?"
Duanmu Huai glanced at the side of the chair, only to find that a thin and short figure was curled up in the shadow of the chair, as if it had fallen into a coma——— probably frightened by Duanmu Huai's fear aura just now.
"I'm going to ........."
Duanmu Huai stretched out a hand, lifted the short figure up like a kitten, and stared at the other party carefully. It was a child, and judging from his unkempt appearance, it was evident that the child had not been washed for a long time, and in fact the child had only a dirty rag on his body, a chain around his neck like a pet, and a white rag over his eyes, and he looked very pitiful.
However, Duanmu Huai didn't care about this problem, but when he focused his eyes on this little ghost, he also saw the information floating above the other party's head.
[Star Whisperer (Lv. 20) Rare]
It's a star whisperer!
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was also taken aback.
That's a rarity!
The so-called Star Whisperer is equivalent to the human flesh transmitter of a warship. To put it simply, during the Imperial period, each warship would have a Star Whisperer, and their task was to follow the captain's orders, condense their thoughts, send them out of the subspace, and teleport to the Star Whisperer of another warship————— Well, yes, the long-distance communication between human empires was done through this kind of supernatural telepathy.
It's just that this method is basically not needed now, after all, the Star Whisperer is easily polluted by the subspace when transmitting information, and she may have heard the whisper of some evil god. Moreover, in the process of transmission of information, errors will also occur. It's like the famous "telebious game experiment", even if a group of people stand in line in one room and quietly pass on what they hear to the people behind them, there will be errors in passing it on to the last one.
Not to mention the astral whisperer's method of spreading information across galaxies, only God knows how far away from the original meaning of a message arrives at the place.
However, this does not mean that the Star Whisperer is useless in the player era.
Star whisperers can sense information from subspace, which is known to have no concept of time. That is, when the Startalker receives a message, it may be from the past hundreds of thousands of years ago, or it may be from the future hundreds of thousands of years from now.
Therefore, to put it simply, the signal received by the Great Star Whisperer was either too late or too early, and as for such a thing as arriving on time......... Hehe, let's ask the emperor for his blessing.
If it's still alive.
However, this is very useful for players, because the ability of the Star Whisperer is very useful when it is used to explore space hulks or some dead worlds............... And the player happens to be most interested in digging graves and exploring the ruins.
As a soul walker, Duanmu Huai naturally needs the guidance of a star whisperer, so it will be more convenient to find ruins and soul cards, right?
What a surprise.
I have to say that Duanmu Huai really didn't expect that in such a third-rate star thief, he could still get such a treasure, which was already quite a big gain for him, but what Duanmu Huai didn't expect was that the equipment sent by Dardanelle after that also surprised him a little.
There were three pieces of equipment sent by Dardanelle, a chainsaw sword, a bright red power fist that seemed to be stained with blood, and a plasma pistol.
Moreover, none of them are ordinary.
【Alien Death】【Crimson Fist】【Left Hand of Justice】
"Hiss ..............."
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but gasp in his heart, you must know that these three holy relics are widely circulated among players.
[Death of Aliens] This chainsaw sword belongs to the specialization of aliens, and it can be said that killing aliens and demons can be said to be a super weapon. The Crimson Fist is a Terminator's equipment, and in addition to its immense power, it is also rumored that whenever the Crimson Fist kills an enemy, its energy field becomes more and more red——— as if it is dyed red by the enemy's blood.
As a result, players wonder if this thing has anything to do with the Tyrannical God.........
As for the [Left Hand of Justice], the plasma gun itself is not very powerful, but it has a special ability——— rumors that the mechanical priest who made this plasma pistol has prayed precisely for the cooling and reliability of this plasma pistol, so this gun is almost indestructible.
Because this gun has also spread among players, the so-called "righteous plasma never gets hot" joke.
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai looked at Dardanelle in front of him suspiciously.
What does your ancestor have to do with those blood ducks who don't go empty?
