Mason eventually plans to talk to the Hunter again.

Although he was no longer able to obtain the transfer door from there, he still wanted to get some useful advice after making up his mind to do this, so he first followed the process of the "Green Magic Potion Improved" provided by Consus, put the processed raw materials into the golden cup, purified them, and took the time to write a letter and send it to Mr. Hunter through the captain's permission.

Later, he picked up a large number of potion materials and put them into the refining array, planning to make a batch of high-grade hunting potion "Thunder" for his team members.

This thing greatly increases the user's attack power, giving each attack a strong magical paralyzing effect, and even filling both fists with tiny lightning bolts to increase the destructive power.

It is said that it can also be used in stormy weather to further enhance the effect.

The very unscientific effect is very useful in the marine environment of the Caribbean world, and the potion has almost no drawbacks other than the fact that it is highly toxic and needs to be weakened.

At the same time as Mason slapped his hands and turned the raw materials into a dozen vials of thunder potions in the red light of the refining array, Mr. Hunter's reply also quietly appeared on his table.

This time the reply was no ordinary letter, and the envelope floated up and twisted into a mouth when Mason saw it.

"Growling letters."

Mason wasn't surprised.

This is due to a magical effect in the Hogwarts system, and Zakon is also doing this and is in the process of summarizing the corresponding inscription system so that Mason can use it as well.

"If you're going to make peace about the transfer of the door, Mason, all I can tell you is no. After you called me a ruthless superior yesterday, I applied for it.

But."

Mr. Hunter's voice rang out from the letter, full of resentment that made Mason grin, and he said:

"But you should know the result before you apply, sorry, I was in a bit of a bad mood last night, and I apologize to you very seriously, my superior.

But I'm not talking to you about it, I'm just trying to get some more advice from you on what to do dangerously. ”

Mason shook the ingredients in the jar and said in a relaxed tone:

"Isn't there a precedent for something unruly like this before? Why don't you teach me a lesson or something, the Stars Club has been around for more than 20 years, hasn't there been a C-class with the same conscience as me before? ”

He meant to be just joking, but he didn't expect the hunter to fall silent because of this.

Just as Mason blinked in surprise, wondering if he had said something he shouldn't have said, the envelope in front of him sounded again.

It's just that this time the hunter's voice was somewhat mixed with emotions.

She said:

"There have been before.

But it's long gone, just after the first impact, and there's a witcher. Well, a guy like Old K, he was given a mission to find something, and then he witnessed the aftermath of the shock in the target world.

He wondered if he could help.

He was discouraged from taking on the extraneous branches, but he was just as conscientious and as stubborn and stupid as you are, Mason.

He did it.

He did something without any permission, and at that time, the Stars Society was just a grass platform team, and there was no concept of the transfer gate, so he used his world gate to save many people from the dying world, but exposed the world coordinates and caused some unnecessary waves.

Although the matter ended on a happy note, unfortunately, the Stars at that time were under the military control and his actions violated the rules of stealth.

They said he started a rebellion and then "

The hunter's voice fell silent.

Mason's movements at hand also stopped, he probably guessed whose story the hunter was telling, but he didn't expect that there was such a secret behind this matter?

"So, it was because of this that you joined the Quint Society, and then entered the Stars Society under their arrangement?"

Mason asked in a whisper.

"What? I? ”

The hunter was a little flustered by the sudden questioning, and she said in a way that she wanted to cover up:

"What does this have to do with me? I'm just using this to warn you, Mason, that what you're doing is dangerous, and you have to think twice about every step, that's all.

There has never been a precedent for such a successful event.

Because it is difficult for a single squad to complete a large transfer of that size without the support of headquarters.

Not to mention that the Stars will also monitor the workings of the Worldgate, and if you really want to try, my advice to you is not to do it too early and wait for the signs of the impact to emerge. ”

The hunter said in an accentuated tone:

"At that time, the Star Fortress will enter the 'high-dimensional' mode of monitoring the entire parallel world system, and there will be no extra energy to track the operation of each world gate.

That is your only chance not to be discovered.

But the problem with this is that you will be left much less time, and generally speaking, it will not take more than 48 hours for a shock to emerge from the moment it actually occurs.

With only two days, you can't even concentrate the survivors, let alone send them all to another world. ”

"That's what I need to worry about."

Mason jotted down all the warnings from the hunters, and then he asked:

"What's that witcher's name?"

"Huh?"

The hunter was nasal in surprise, and Mason asked:

"What's the name of the witcher you just said about who was executed as a traitor for saving people? Old K told me that he admired a witcher named 'Geralt' and nicknamed 'White Wolf', was he? ”

"Hmm."

The hunter made a nasal voice in response, and after a moment, she added:

"Old K decided to join the Stars after hearing about that, and before that, he was just one of the countless ronin."

"I see."

Mason nodded, and then both fell silent, and after a few seconds of embarrassment, Mason took the initiative to speak:

"Whether a person is worthy to live at the end of the day cannot depend on whether he is worth in the eyes of those who can make decisions. We're all members of the Stellar Society, and the only thing that separates us from the hounds we despise can't just be thoughts.

I think now I can finally understand the reason why you said that Old K was so miserable in the last part of his life. ”

"Huh?"

The hunter said with a touch of teasing:

"You little guy just listen to a story and have a new feeling? I'm pretty idle anyway, so let's hear about it. ”

"I guess it's because of disappointment."

Mason hesitated, but decided to tell the hunter what he wanted, and he poured out the purified potion from the golden cup to continue processing, and said to the envelope in front of him:

"He joined the Quint Club to take revenge or inherit some kind of legacy from His Excellency Geralt, after all, Quint would claim to do something different from the Stars, but after the old K joined, he worked for them for a long time and finally realized that both sides were just a good thing.

No, Quint will be worse!

At least the Stars did save some people before they fell, but the Quint Society's covert actions didn't have any sense of salvation, at least I didn't see it.

Old K can't get revenge or save anyone, he may feel like a marionette clown, no wonder he told me not to trust anyone.

Maybe he meant that it even included you, Hunter.

Maybe in the eyes of Lao K, you are no different from a hound. ”

This was obviously offensive, but what was even more surprising was that the hunter did not refute it, and she asked rhetorically:

"Mason, I ask you, if one day I ask you to spread the virus to some world"

"I will refuse."

Without even thinking about it, Mason replied:

"And I don't think you're going to make me do this kind of thing, you know I have my own principles, and it's impossible to do what you think."

"But what if I told you that doing these dirty hands was for a greater purpose?"

The hunter asked in a heightened voice:

"A great, chaotic goal, to achieve it requires some sacrifices, even one's own conscience"

"I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty, but what does it matter to me that you have a potentially great goal?"

Mason piled up the processed raw materials in front of him, staggered his hands and launched a refining array, and in a flash of red light, more than a dozen bottles of potions were made.

While checking the quality, he said confidently:

"First of all, if your great goal requires me to sacrifice a world to help you achieve it, then your goal itself is not 'great' at all!

Second, if you can't even keep your conscience now, how can I believe that your claim to have a better future than it is now?

Mr. Hunter, I ask you, would you trust a man who vows to save the world, but turns a blind eye to the little girl who falls in front of him?

If you believe it, then you're a big fool with the number one in the sky. ”

The cabin was quiet again.

The roaring letter in front of Mason's eyes maintained a slightly open mouth.

The hunter, who could be seen to be Mason's sharp rhetorical question, was speechless, and after several seconds of silence, the rant in front of his eyes burned to indicate the end of the call.

Before the thing could be reduced to ashes and fly, the hunter's voice could be heard from within.

As if she had made some kind of decision, she said:

"I'll help you apply for a transfer door again, wait for my news this time, Mason, don't be busy yet."

"Mason! Are you there? ”

Barbara's voice rang out from outside the cabin at this moment, and Mason turned around with a gentle smile on his face, and said to Barbara, who had rushed over:

"What's wrong?"

"There's an important call here, and you have to answer it."

Batgirl handed over her communicator.

Mason looked at the unfamiliar number on the communicator in surprise and asked Barbara with his eyes, who whispered to him what had just happened.

Mason's expression became strange.

He placed the communicator on the table, activated the holographic voice, and the next moment, the figure of the secret guest appeared in front of the two of them.

She was no longer in her own palace, but in a luxurious-looking office, sitting at her desk writing and drawing.

After looking up to see Mason, the blonde smiled and waved at Mason, saying:

"Yo, little Mason, meet again, come, tell my sister, how many transfer doors do you need now? I'll send it to you. ”

"Who the hell are you? If you say you can give something like the Gate of Transfer, you will at least be a great teacher. ”

Mason raised his eyebrows and said:

"It is rumored that the Great Warlock Mentor is a gloomy man, so you are a Swordsman? Why help us? Just because we met in the water before? ”

"You saved me, did you forget?"

The swordsman pretended to be stupid and said:

"When I was at my weakest, you helped me bandage my wounds and stop the bleeding, Mason, this is a lifelong friendship, now such a trivial matter is nothing."

"Are you kidding?"

Mason felt that the guy in front of him who was trying to "get by" was insulting his IQ, and he shook his head and said:

"I do need help, but kindness from unknown sources is certainly quite expensive, so if you don't make it clear, I really don't dare to accept it."

"Why do you want to do so much?"

The swordsman glared and said:

"You've definitely looked for a hunter, but I don't think she can help you, because she's in a group of people. Uh, what to say? Not a normal guy anyway.

And her brain is not suitable for playing with those people at all.

But I'm different.

I'm a great secret organization, with friendly members, clear goals, and clear rewards and punishments. We don't engage in those false things, everyone gets together to live better.

Mason, I saw your potential firsthand in the Isu world, so I decided to sweeten you up and pull you into our organization by the way.

The hunter disappoints you, right?

Don't be sad.

She's just like that, she's not a bad person, but when she does things, she looks ahead and backwards, like a marionette, and someone kicks it before she moves.

Come on, say how many diversion doors do you need?

Hurry up!

It takes time to deceive and deceive, and there will be no such shop in this village. ”

Mason was eager to tell the blonde girl that the Hunter hadn't let him down, and that in the riddler-like conversation he had just had, he was sure that he had pulled the Hunter a little bit from the Quintent side to his side.

But you can also take advantage of the good things that are delivered to your door.

"I said you're too blunt, aren't you?"

Mason raised his eyebrows and said:

"You also have a secret organization, don't you tell me that the Warlocks have a secret organization too? What's going on with your three gurus? Don't you avoid people when you engage in such small groups? ”

"Oh, the Warlock isn't, he doesn't have any secret organization, he's just a loyal dog, that's not quite right."

The swordsman scratched his head, organized the language, and said:

"He probably really thinks that the current model of the Stellar Society is the best kind of guy, and he is bent on helping His Excellency Destiny maintain the existence of the Stellar Society, and he is rarely involved in other things.

As long as you don't mess with him, he's actually quite easy to get along with.

But unfortunately you've already messed with him, Mason, and you killed Wesker with your own hands. Okay, let's not talk about that, do you want the door of transfer? ”

"Yes."

Mason glanced at Barbara and said:

"There are only a million people left in this world."

"Tsk, that's miserable."

The swordsman pursed his lips, made a stroke on the paper at hand, and said:

"It seems that the main body of civilization has collapsed, no wonder the hunter doesn't help, she really can't help with this kind of thing, and only a stunned young man like me who is not afraid of things dares to jump into this mud pit.

A set of forty percent of the new semi-elimination transfer door is enough, and it has already entered the destruction process so it is not in the sequence, and it can probably be used two or three times before it will be scrapped.

With 36 hours of full operation to send everyone away, do you need a safe target world?

Why don't I provide you with one? ”

"Hey, you're a little too enthusiastic, I feel like I'm selling myself right now."

Not to mention Mason, even Barbara felt that this matter was unreliable, and the bat girl raised her eyebrows and complained:

"We don't have anything to pay for."

"That's all you talk nonsense!"

The swordsman glared, threw the paper in her hand into a swirling curtain of light, picked up her ice cream bucket again, and said:

"I said that I don't need to be paid this time, but after this is over, you have to meet with me, it's very personal, you better prepare in advance.

Also, you killed Sandstorm, right? ”

Mason nodded.

Then he heard the swordsman eating ice cream and saying to him:

"Watch out for Norman Osborne, that guy is a real careerist, and he's tried to get in touch with us, but I'm guessing he didn't tell you about it.

He had wanted to use our power to break into the Stars Society, and he thought that if he was given enough chances, he could make a career, well, this personality alone suited the tastes of the supporters on the Hunter's side. ”

"Then why did you reject him?"

Mason asked in surprise:

"As far as I know, the intelligence network in the hands of the old Green Goblin is very valuable."

"It's easy!"

The swordsman stretched out her finger and hooked the cream at the corner of her mouth, she pinched her finger, glanced at Mason, and said:

"He's not our 'own person', so we don't have any interest in all his ideas, we don't even bother to listen!"

After saying that, the communication was disconnected in an instant, and the swordsman's holographic projection dissipated little by little, but her final answer made Mason feel puzzled.

What does it mean not to be "your own person"? If you don't accept people and don't give them a chance to show their loyalty, how can a stranger become your own?

That doesn't make sense.

"Mason, do you think she can be trusted?"

Barbara said with some concern behind the captain:

"This gift is a bit too hot, to be honest I'm a little uneasy, we can understand the reason why Mr. Hunter can't help, but the swordsman is so enthusiastic I suspect she has other plans."

She glanced at Mason and whispered:

"Maybe she really has a crush on you"

"Well, if I can really sell my body to this job, I won't lose it, it's a million lives."

Mason pursed his lips and joked:

"Let's think about it later, now that the door is at least transferred, go to Jack, I need to talk to him, it's time for him, a fugitive pirate, to do more for his homeland."

"But the hunter's side?"

The Bat Maiden whispered:

"Are we going to change our doors and take refuge in the swordsman? Actually, I think Mr. Hunter is a pretty good person, and he even took the risk to save us in the Isu world. ”

"No, Barbara, we don't take refuge in anyone! It's just a private gift of mutual help, and it has nothing to do with the division of power. Team K needs to keep their eyes peeled and not be fooled by other people's so-called lofty goals and ideals.

We have our goals, and naturally we have our own paths to follow. ”

Mason narrowed his eyes and said:

"As for the hunter, she still has a conscience, so she still has a saver, but those behind her. Hey, a bunch of sanctimonious crumbs. ”
