"Inquisitor."

"Mr. Barent."

Belona and Klein saluted each other.

Immediately, Belona looked at the girl beside Klein: "She must be your daughter, right?" She has stunning beauty. ”

After a word of flattery, Belona took out a blaster pistol inlaid with an inscription and handed it to Klein's daughter: "I heard that you like weapons?" This is my greeting gift, be careful, it can kill many traitors. ”

"Thank you, Inquisitor." Crane's daughter took the blaster and admired.

It is a mortal blaster pistol, not as large as that used by Space Marines, but powerful enough to shatter a human body.

"A gun for my daughter is not a reward." Klein said.

"Of course." Belona nodded, "As we agreed before, you take us into any system within Tyrone's sphere of influence, and then I'll give you a ton of black stone." ”

"Can I ask how you got Blackstone?"

"Uses my relationship with the machine to teach that."

“……”

While Belona and Crane were talking, Ain kept an eye on Crane.

This middle-aged man has a scar on his face, his hands are covered with calluses, and his mouth is wider than normal.

This made Ian wonder about Klein's past.

According to information that Belona obtained from the upper echelons of the Inquisition and believed in it, Crane was a speculator, a Tyrone who found the Lord of Tyrone and provided him with a large number of weapons and ships before he unified the Tyrone system.

However, Klein feels more like a soldier who has killed many people than a pampered speculator.

"Sorry to interrupt." Ain interjected and asked Klein, "I've heard your story, I adore you, I wonder if the rumors about your investment in the Tyrone Star System War I are true?" ”

A smile appeared on Klein's face, and he raised his eyebrows and shook his head: "There are a lot of rumors about any big person, if anyone asks and has to clarify and confirm him, he will definitely be tired to death." ”

Aine didn't get an answer, but when he tried to continue asking, he saw Belona's gaze and gave up.

It just so happened that Belona and Klein were talking about it.

The former gave Klein the key to open the cargo hold of the transporter, and the latter told Bellona where the merchant ship had prepared for them was.

The transaction was successfully completed and the two parties worked happily together.

"Looking forward to the next collaboration." Belona saluted Klein.

"Of course if you can." Crane saluted as well, turned around and led his entourage back to the elevator.

Belona took Al Ain and Bellant with her and walked towards the port.

To get to the port, he had to go through a tunnel, and when he got to the tunnel, Ain found that there was still no one there.

It stands to reason that there should be a lot of people in a place like a trading post.

"I don't think something is right with this deal." Ayn grabbed Belona's arm, "That's very wrong with Klein, I don't think he's a speculator." ”

Belona stood still and looked at Ayn indifferently: "Good at observation, very good. So the question is, do I believe you, or do I believe the results of the investigation by many colleagues in the court? ”

"Trust your colleagues?" Ain asked rhetorically, "Have you ever thought that the investigation of Klein only started after you applied, and when the entire Tyrone Star Region is impermeable and difficult to penetrate, how accurate can that information be?" ”

"I understand you, but we've invested too much to give up." Belona continued her steps with determination.

Ain looked at Belonte with an indifferent face, helplessly following Belona's footsteps.

The dim lighting in the tunnel with no end in sight made Ain's heart furious, and he didn't know if it was because of the dim lights or because of his psionic talent.

As the three of them reached the halfway point of the tunnel, the lights suddenly went out.

When the dim light reappeared, Ain saw a metal man standing in front of him.

The metal man, with many mechanical arms, was standing in the center of the road with a power sword.

At this point, the lights start to flicker incessantly.

While the three observed the heat death, the heat death also observed the three people.

Although the construction time of the trading post was very short, it was not enough to rush the construction of the facilities, and the lights in the tunnel did not flicker on and off at all, all of which was deliberately created by the heat death, and it thought it was cool to appear like this.

"You ......"

Bellona opened her mouth to ask a question, when the entire arm of her right hand fell off, and blood splattered on the walls of the tunnel.

Before the sharp pain reached her brain, Belona recalled what had happened in less than a second.

The metal man stood twenty meters away, leaned forward for a moment, and then almost instantaneously came in front of him and swung his power sword.

Just as Heat Death was about to unleash its next sword, two sparks appeared on the surface of its body.

Berante held a pistol with a special armor-piercing bullet to shoot at the heat death, but the two armor-piercing rounds could not even be polished.

As Belona felt like her time was dead, Aine stood in front of her and roared forward with her arms outstretched.

A repulsion spread from Ain's face to the end of the passage, and the heat death was swept away.

Ain, who saved Belona with psionic energy, didn't have time to ask for credit, and the mentor who had lost too much blood on his back ran in the opposite direction.

"We were sold by the design!"

Aine complained loudly as he ran.

"Why can't you just give up?"

"You're too eager for quick success!"

Belona listened to the apprentice's complaints, which she thought were more like a reprimand for serious transgression, but now she was bleeding and had no strength to refute Ain.

Just as Ain was thinking about waiting to leave the outpost this time to persuade Belona, another figure appeared in front of him.

It was a soulless one.

Feeling so uncomfortable that Aine was forced to stop, she couldn't even carry Belona on her back.

Belona struggled to look at the comer, and realized that the man herself had seen on Cadia, and it turned out to be the Praetorian guard of the Lord of Tyrone.

Then it is already obvious who the person who wants to kill himself is.

Yao En slowly approached with a power sword in his hand.

Ayn stood in front of Belona, staring nervously and fearfully at Yao.

Yao En was getting closer, and with two soulless beings around him, Aine felt like he was having trouble breathing, but he still stood in front of Belona to protect her.

As the distance between the two sides gradually shortened to about five meters, Ain, who was preoccupied with preparing to deal with Yaoen, heard a gunshot.

A bullet hole appeared in Belona's head.

Aine looked back in horror.

"You have no idea what a terrible outcome she will bring." Bronte said indifferently, and gave Belona two more shots.

Yao En was stunned by the scene in front of him, he never expected that Belona's subordinates would turn back.

Aine didn't expect that his survival instinct and the experience of wandering around the nest at the bottom of the nest made him immediately make the decision to escape, but the retreat was blocked by the metal man from before.

"Their psionic abilities are not as strong as those of brainworms." Heat Death looked at Yaoen, "If I knew I wouldn't listen to you, it would be easier to cut her head with a sword." ”
