Russell further learned that the starry bounty hunters and nomadic tribes were actually hierarchical. The top armed groups with the most elite personnel and the best equipment are actually private armies secretly raised by bureaucrats, and their logistics are all provided by the local star district government, eating official food, and doing some dirty work for the lords in the name of civil organizations.

Instead, the group of wild bounty hunters with shoddy equipment is actually hunting the spirits, and with their faith in the emperor, they fight the aliens in the name of the Lord of Humanity to make some money...... It's not that civil society is more moral than the private army of the old man, the main thing is that wild hunters have no backing, and even if they kill civilians and get dirt and embers, they will not have access to suitable channels for selling stolen goods.

At least on the bright side, the use of psionic chain burning on humans is still forbidden.

"It's the prerogative of the lord to harvest civilians, and hunters with true faith can only fight aliens with rudimentary equipment on the tip of a knife......" Russell smiled faintly, and there was no emotion on his gentle face.

"It's ironic......" the star player sighed softly.

"The empire has always been like this, even if there is no muddy dust or embers in the past, the aristocratic bureaucrats will also wantonly torture and torture civilians for fun according to their own preferences, and the appearance of psionic dust is just for them to gain some additional economic benefits when they play with human life." Taltale's smile was still bright, without a trace of sadness or pity in it: "Ten thousand years have passed like this, we are used to it." ”

For thousands of years, humans in the galaxy have lived a life that is inferior to pigs and dogs, and they have long been accustomed to it and become numb.

The difference between being burned into psionic dust and being played to death by nobles and lords is that being burned to death will make you die more happily, which is quite good in a sense.

"How do I feel like you're telling hell jokes." Russell said with a smile.

"Hell?" Taltale was a little puzzled: "But this is the human world. ”

"It's because it's on earth that it's even more hell." Russell laughed and handed a small parchment scroll to Thaltale.

"...... this?" Taltale wondered.

"Letter of introduction, with this you can go and connect with the Order of Truth, I grant you the right to resell federal arms to those wild bounty hunters, but the sales channel needs to be contacted yourself." Russell said lightly: "Attention? I did not allow you to cooperate with the official Empire. ”

"This ...... This ...... "The pupils of the merchant ronin shook dramatically, and he naturally didn't understand what it meant after nearly a hundred years of wandering galaxy business, and it was precisely because he understood that he was even more shocked."

Taltale's lips trembled, and he whispered, "Why, why am I ......?"

"Because I knew yesterday that I would meet you today, I wrote this letter of introduction for you in advance." Russell smiled at him and turned to leave.

With his personality and ability, it is still very accurate to overlook the fate of a small person, as long as he is not enthusiastic and has to go to wrestle with the Chaos True God, he will generally not overturn.

After a few more laps in the starport, Russell was in line.

The crowd of refugees in the corners and the petty traders who were constantly driven away by the heat of work made him feel inexplicably irritable, and the huge engine of the Pot of Greed roared, propelling the majestic steel fortress through the stargate as fast as if it were running away.

When I came back to my senses, the beautiful blue and green planet was already in the field of view of the ship's sensors.

It's home.

"Marshal, you're finally back~"

As soon as he got off the boat, a person who had saved a lot of lonely gray wind swept over the corner of his skirt, rubbed his soft face against his chest, and smiled hehehehe.

"Rub it, what do you smell, and ...... you take a deep breath? How to be the same as an idiot. Russell rubbed Grey Wind's face and said, "Girls can't be so lewd." ”

"It's fun." Gray Wind obediently raised her head and let Russell knead her face, and said softly: "But I want to smell if the marshal has that kind of 'virgin body fragrance' on him, and see if you have lost yourself and fallen into the water outside." ”

"What's the virgin scent?" Russell pinched her face for a moment.

Grey Wind continued, "I was bored when the marshal wasn't at home, so I looked through the library a lot. There are many descriptions of the male protagonist smelling the virgin fragrance on the girl's body in several different books. The marshal is a virgin! So there should also be a virgin body fragrance! ”

“…… Most literary and artistic works have artistic processing, don't believe it. Russell held his forehead with one hand and said righteously: "Virgins have no body fragrance, and neither do virgins." If there is, it is the smell of toiletries and cosmetics. ”

"But ......" Gray Wind was still a little tangled.

"Do you believe me or do you believe me?"

"I believe in Marshal~" Gray Wind immediately stopped dwelling.

Russell let go of the hand that was holding her ass, letting the gray wind hanging on him come down, and the two of them walked down the dock together.

"Marshal Marshal, when you were away, I commanded the fleet to successfully annihilate the Aether Giant Worm, and after recovering the corpse of the Giant Worm and the Life Shaping Worm inside, Colonia wanted to eat the Worm Queen, but I didn't allow it, it was so anxious that it was about to cry."

Russell touched Grey Wind's head: "Give it to eat, the genetic database between different hive fleets is not interoperable, and letting Colonia absorb the Kraken's gene pool will help the genetic development of new humans." ”

"Okay. However, when it comes to human genetic development, Colonia has encountered a bottleneck in this matter and is difficult to break through, so it has recently shifted its research direction to another aspect, hoping to find another way to overtake in a corner. Gray Wind's legs were not as long as Russell's, and he jumped up and down next to Russell, who was walking normally, but his voice did not tremble in the slightest: "It is trying to achieve a micro-machine ascension, to format the human soul consciousness, and transform it into a gestalt life like me." ”

"The idea of turning the individual into a super-collective will not work, the risk is too high, and it is also unrealistic, notify her to terminate the project as soon as possible." Russell's attitude was unequivocal.

"That's it......" Gray Wind was a little disappointed: "Actually, I think this idea is not bad, right?" It would be a shame to veto it outright. Even if the micro-mechanical format can't be extended to all citizens, at least, it can at least free the marshal from the shackles of the flesh and become like me, right? ”

Russell stopped, looked at Gray Wind's slightly flushed face, and sighed.

It's not that he is shy and blushing, it's that he pinched it.

"The current body is not a constraint for me, I don't want to get rid of it, at least not now." Russell said.

"Huh...... Why? "Gray Wind couldn't understand, the human body was obviously so weak and troublesome, and the marshal was also subject to many restrictions because of the disadvantage of physical fitness, why did he not want to get rid of it?

Russell showed a helpless expression: "You came to me before, what did you want to smell?" ”

"Hmm, virgin body fragrance?" Grey Wind blinked.

"That's why."
