Seeing that Shangguan Li fell silent, Duolan, the chief disciple of the martial arts hall and the deputy head of Moxue, stood up, and his tone was quite dissatisfied: "Little junior sister, your request is a bit excessive. ”

"There was a disaster on the other side of the border, and we were worried when we watched it. But the question is, what does this have to do with our Mo Xue? We're mercenaries. ”

"Blocking the beast or something, that's the responsibility of the authorities, it has nothing to do with our eight poles, why are you running to us?"

Dongdong bit his lower lip and said, "It's okay if you don't want to fight the beast, at least go and save people together, okay?" Moxue has so much air transportation equipment, one trip can move thousands of people to a safe place, a few more trips back and forth, and a few can save a few! ”

Dolan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You didn't understand my words, whether it is to stop the beast or save people, it is not the duty of our mercenaries, you can't impose a duty that does not belong to us on us." ”

Dongdong looked at Dolan a little distractedly, and he didn't know why the once enthusiastic senior brother in front of him was so cold.

She hesitated for a moment, then said in a trembling voice, "I understand, this matter costs money. Yes, mercenaries have to collect money for their errands, and I'll give you money! I'm very rich now, and I have a lot of money in my account, and I'll give it all to you! ”

"If it's not enough, I'll go to find a financial overdraft at that time, and in the next few decades until I die, I won't take a single monthly coin of honorarium, and I will spend it all to you, just as if I issued a commission to Mo Xue, so it's okay, right?"

Dolan let out a long sigh, helpless: "Little junior sister, don't say such childish words, if you can't help, you can't help." ”

Dongdong pointed to the airborne vehicles around him and asked, "Then tell me, what are you doing here?" ”

"Just now I saw that you had all the floatboats outside, and I thought you were ready to leave for the border. You say, what is this for? ”

Dolan was speechless for a while, cautiously looked at Shangguan Li, who was silent with lowered eyes, and did not speak.

As soon as Dong Dong was about to continue questioning, a floating car with the death sickle logo landed in the square.

A Death Scythe mercenary stepped out of it, came to Shangguan's side and asked, "Are your airships ready?" Let's get off as soon as possible, there's a lot of stuff waiting there. ”

Dong Dong was stunned on the spot when he heard the words of the Death Scythe mercenary, and looked at Shangguan Li in confusion: "Master. What does he mean? ”

The Death Scythe mercenary looked at Dong Dong, and quickly recognized the rising star who single-handedly beat Lucifer not long ago, and his tone became polite: "Oh, the second master on the edge is also here, disrespectful." ”

"That's right, the Iron and Blood Consortium is undergoing a major transfer, and the workload of the Death Scythe is saturated, and according to the instructions from above, we are contacting other mercenary groups to assist."

"Over there in An'an New District, many iron-blooded middle-level managers are still moving, and there are a lot of expensive furniture that needs to be moved, and we are ready to let Moxue's people help."

Dong Dong's whole person was stunned, seeing that Shangguan Li's eyes were full of strangeness, and even his voice was trembling: "Master, there are millions of lives hanging by a thread on the border now." You're going to help the rich guys. Moving furniture? ”

Shangguan Li was still silent, and turned her head slightly, she was obviously a majestic master, but she didn't dare to look directly at the apprentice's interrogative gaze.

At this moment, Dongdong suddenly felt that the master who had been with her day and night had become so alienated, and looked at her as if she was looking at a stranger: "Master, you told me this is not true."

"My master is a very chivalrous man. It is absolutely impossible for her to die without saving herself, and run away to be a dog for those giant companies! ”

Dolan couldn't take it anymore and scolded loudly, "You're almost done! What was said? Oh, you are only allowed to go to the co-opt company on the edge, and we Moxue will not be able to do something for the iron and blood? It's called being a dog? ”

"Little junior sister, do you know how long the master has been waiting for this opportunity? For so many years, the master has been working hard to bring Mo Xue forward, just to make everyone stand out. ”

"But you also know that there is a hurdle in this world, and that is the giant enterprises. If you can't get the recognition of giant enterprises, you can't establish relationships with those big people, no matter how bright you are on the surface, you are just stinky fish and rotten shrimp! ”

"It's the same for Mo Xue! Don't look at everyone saying that we are a mercenary group led by Seven Stars, if the giant companies don't take us seriously, even if it is another ten or twenty years, we will still be stinky fish and rotten shrimp! ”

"We don't want that! We are ambitious too! Mo Xue didn't want to just stand behind the edge and watch you soar, but she could only stand still and pick up the leftovers you eat! ”

Speaking of this, Dolan poked his heart heavily, and said in a sad tone: "This time to assist Iron Blood in the transfer, this is the first time Mo Xue has had the opportunity to get formal contact with a giant company. ”

"If you miss this time, you really don't know when the next opportunity will come, and it is even possible that because we refute them once, the opportunity will never come."

"Think about it from another perspective, if you are a master, are you willing? Can you leave behind your future and do those inexplicable things?! ”

Dolan's words are realistic, but they are also very real, so real that they are a little cruel.

The Moxue Mercenary Group was established early and became famous early, once upon a time, they were also the supernovas of Crescent City, and they were favored by countless intermediaries, and the future of the Glorious Avenue was bright.

Even many people feel that Mo Xue will be the second death scythe in a few decades, and their regiment leader has every potential to succeed Zhou Hannian and become the next king of mercenaries.

However, the reality is that since the birth of the marginal mercenary group, Mo Xue has been suppressed in all aspects.

It didn't take long for Su Mo to become a star in the limelight, relying on the authorities to enjoy various resource tilts, and in a few months he surpassed all the accumulation of Mo Xue to this day.

The saddest thing is that he can't compare to Su Mo, and the dignified head of Moxue can't even compare to other people's second leaders.

Shangguan Li, who had tried his best to tie Lucifer, was directly singled out and abused by Dongdong, who was not yet an adult, and the second gear was overloaded and shocked the whole city.

Not to mention that later, the marginal mercenary group caught up with Zhao Yiming, a big man, and was reborn in the Fool's Club incident, soaring like a phoenix, throwing Mo Xue farther and farther away.

Mo Xue's dream was shattered.

Now when it comes to the Crescent City Mercenary Regiment, everyone only knows the Edge and the Death Scythe.

Speaking of the former crescent moon and seven stars, I only know one edge.

Mo Xue's fame has fallen to the same level as Sakura Tenmori, and no one looks down on them, so they can only keep lowering their own prices to pick up second-rate commissions that they don't bother to accept on the edge and the death sickle.

Mo Xue and the edge have a good relationship, that's true, but in any case, they are also two mercenary groups.

The brothers still settle accounts, not to mention the two mercenaries.

Dolan's words not only represent himself, Shangguan Li, but also represent the unwillingness of every Moxue mercenary.

After listening to Dolan's words, Dong Dong was completely dazed, and his eyes were out of focus and looked at the silent Shangguan Li: "Master. You. What do you think? ”

"At this critical juncture, what you are thinking of is actually treating the edge as an opponent and seizing every opportunity to surpass us?"

Dolan's voice became louder, and he said confidently, "Is there something wrong with this?" It's true that our two families have a good relationship, but we are also peers and competitors. Why, if you are only allowed to develop, we will only be able to follow behind and eat leftovers? ”

Dong Dong shook his hand vigorously, and his emotions collapsed a little: "I didn't say it was wrong!" It's okay to go beyond the edge! We have never regarded Mo Xue as a hidden danger, and the boss likes you Mo Xue very much! ”

"Believe it or not, with the heart and bearing of our leader, if Mo Xue can catch up with him one day with his ability, strong enough to threaten the position of the edge, or even directly surpass the edge, he can be happy enough to personally hold a celebration banquet for you!"

"We've never said that we want to be dominant, and we haven't said that Moxue can't rely on giant companies, but. There is always a priority in everything, so why should people have some principles? ”

"What time is it? At the moment when millions of people are at stake, you tell me, what are you thinking? ”

Dolan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer, and some of them were speechless.

Dong Dong looked at Shangguan Li with a sad gaze, his lips trembling slightly: "Master, do you remember that when you practiced martial arts before, you told me a lot of martial arts stories. ”

"You tell me - chivalrous, chivalrous and courageous, chivalrous and heroic. The word chivalry, on the left is benevolence, and on the right is righteousness. ”

"That's what you taught me! Do you think I'm uneducated, uneducated, illiterate, and can't listen to what you say? I take everything you teach to heart! ”

"These things you taught me. Is it all fake? Do you yourself believe it from the bottom of your heart, and think that the so-called chivalry is just a hypocritical joke? So why are you teaching it to me? ”

Shangguan Li's head hung lower, and she couldn't say a word in the face of the apprentice's questioning.

"Don't stop talking! I want you to say it yourself! Say! Dong Dong rushed forward to push Shangguan Li, but was stopped by Dolan and the others.

At this time, the Death Scythe mercenary had lost his patience and said coldly: "Shangguan Li, give me a letter, do you want to come?" If you don't come now, I'll go find other mercenary groups. ”

"In addition, I want to remind you that the man next to you is right, if you have an iron face for this little thing, most of them will not come to you again in the future, you can do it yourself."

On the one hand, the little junior sister's questioning, and on the other hand, the pressure of the dead sickle mercenaries, Dolan and the others were so upset that they didn't know what to say, so they could only look at Shangguan Li cautiously, waiting for the regiment commander's decision.

Dong Dong wiped away his tears vigorously, stood in front of Shangguan Li and choked up: "Master, is this good, I'll kowtow to you. You used to say that I didn't know how to be polite, and I couldn't even make a fool of myself when we met, so I'll kowtow to you today."

After Dong Dong finished speaking, he knelt down in front of everyone and kept kowtowing to Shangguan Li.

She stumbled hard, making a dull sound with each blow, and even leaving a blood mark on the ground.

"Little junior sister, you" Dolan and the others were completely at a loss.

Shangguan Li stared blankly at Dong Dong who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes kept losing focus.

His favorite and most proud apprentice kowtowed in despair, bringing blood again and again.

The Death Scythe mercenary, who represented the iron-blooded will, had a cold gaze and pressed all of Mo Xue's future towards her.

The huge pressure made Shangguan Li's breath tremble, the whole portrait was pulled off his back, and his waist, which had always been straight, became rickety, confused and helpless.

Just when the atmosphere was extremely stiff, an unexpected person appeared.

A floating car with the red umbrella logo landed in the square, and KK ran out of it.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw Dongdong, who kept kowtowing, and went over to help her up: "Dongdong, what are you doing?" ”

“KK？” Knock Knock stared at KK blankly, wondering why he was here.

KK sadly helped Dongdong wipe the ash stains and blood off his head, and then walked up to Shangguan Li and handed over a black storage box.

"Captain Shangguan, this is left to you by the eldest brother."

Shangguan Li subconsciously took the storage box and asked a little puzzled: "Left for me?" ”

KK nodded: "Yes, he told me before that if he loses contact for more than twenty-four hours, or dies, he will give this thing to you." ”

It's hard not to think of relics when these words aren't reminiscent, Shangguan Li's face turned pale suddenly: "He"

KK interrupted her and reassured, "I'm still alive, but I've really been missing for more than twenty-four hours, so I'm here." ”

Shangguan Li breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "What's inside?" ”

KK shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't opened it, he named it by you." ”

Shangguan Li pursed his lips, looked at the Death Scythe mercenary, and asked cautiously, "Can you give me some time?" ”

The Death Scythe mercenary glanced at his watch and said coldly, "Give you 10 minutes." ”

"Thank you." Shangguan Li entered the Moxue Mansion with the storage box.

Although KK didn't say it explicitly, Shangguan Li thought that since it was something that was opened by name, it should have a certain degree of concealment, so he specially picked a secret room and opened the storage box after closing the door.

There are only two things in it.

A red umbrella badge with a special regimental commander logo, judging from the slightly old traces, it is the one that Su Mo usually wears with him.

The other is a mobile chip, which apparently holds some files.

Shangguan Li plugged the chip into the computer and found that there was only one video.

She clicked it away.

This is a hologram, between the interweaving of light and shadow, Su Mo's figure is revealed, and the extremely realistic resolution restores almost every detail, as if he himself is standing there.

The position where the video was played was just right, Su Mo stood face to face with Shangguan Li, beckoned and smiled: "Shangguan, I haven't seen you for a long time." Before watching this video, please find a quiet place where I want to talk to you alone. ”

Shangguan Li nodded slightly, it was right for him to come to the secret room by himself.

Su Mo paused and continued, "When KK handed you that storage box, I think you must have been puzzled. Now I'm going to tell you everything that's happened lately. ”

"At this moment, at the very second you look at the image, I am carrying out a top-secret project 100,000 meters underground in Crescent City."

"What exactly is this project, for the sake of saving time, I won't go into detail now, I will tell you later."

"You just need to know that the recent beast crisis in Crescent City has something to do with something underground, and I'm trying to shut it down." (End of chapter)
