828 Favoring one over the other
The screams of dying eyes filled everyone's ears, but the team that was gradually closing in had begun to clear the battlefield.
The battle damage caused by the fierce confrontation between the two sides was not large, but the self-explosion of the last few four-armed eyes led to a large number of casualties among the mercenaries, and their number accounted for more than seventy percent of the encirclement and suppression, which is suffocating.
And the weakness caused by Raymond's release of the Star Demon Blood Mark was because the improvement of his realm did not make him unconscious on the spot, but caused him to fall into a weak state, and was finally dragged out of the battlefield by Stewart.
As the commander of this battle, Ms. Meredith, after learning that the secret guards had attacked and killed Raymond, immediately asked the weak Raymond to protect and escort Raymond and the others to her station to rest in peace.
The enraged madman Willard wants to settle accounts with Evely, but Stewart drags him along with him to protect Raymond, and after Raymond is sent to a garrison far from the battlefield, he also drives out of the tent the mercenaries sent by Lady Meredith to protect everyone.
Raymond, whose mana is depleted and the energy accumulated in his body is exhausted, is now like a patient with a cold disease, sitting on the bed wrapped in a thick blanket and still shivering, but his spirit is getting rid of the previous drowsiness and becoming clear again.
Willard, the madman who told the story of what happened in the underground station, looked a little embarrassed. "It's a step slower, if it weren't for Stewart's quick reaction to injure that captain, I wouldn't have even hated the two of us......"
The madman Willard's account made Raymond understand what had happened, and although the details were still to be worked out, the suspicion of the head of the secret guard, Evely, could be cleared.
Xavier of the Barbarian Elephant Clan was relieved of his duties and imprisoned, although on the surface it seemed to be because of Raymond, but in fact he became a victim of Dilger's Liwei, which was absolutely unjustified.
I am thinking about the cause and effect before and after. Stewart, who was guarding outside the tent, suddenly opened the curtain and walked in, and behind him were Meredith and Evely.
Evely, who was standing in the doorway, spoke first, with indignation and a slight apology on his face. "I'm really sorry for you, but the secret guards in charge of guarding the space passage have all been isolated for review, and it is estimated that the results will be fed back soon, but it is more troublesome to want a thorough inventory...... But please believe that this matter will give you a satisfactory explanation!"
Evely's attitude was very sincere, and the information expressed in his words also made the anger in Raymond's chest slightly lessen, but Lady Meredith, who sat down directly, handed over a waist bag. "Inside is the root of the emperor algae and the powder of the shadow insects. It should help you with your recovery. ”
Raymond, wrapped in a blanket, was a little surprised, but Lady Meredith's clear and deep gaze quickly relieved him.
"Thank you for the materials," he said to Meredith, then waved his hand at Evely. Motioned for him to come over. "Lord Eveli, you really hurt me this time......"
The teasing tone unleashed Raymond's kindness. As if relieved, Evely regained his feminine posture and attitude. Squirmed and sat in the corner of the tent.
The madman Willard, who had been angry, hesitated and came to Evely's side, first grabbed his shoulders and muttered in his ear, but after a while, both of them were crimson and began to flirt there.
Raymond, who shuddered when he saw this, quickly looked away. Facing Meredith, he asked. "It's been two months since Hurricane City was destroyed, and you came out of the lava mountains with mercenaries, I wonder how many Sith crystals and crystal fragments you have in your hands now?"
"Did you have a breakthrough in the study of Sith crystals?"
Raymond, who already had an idea, laughed. "I'm willing to trade the high-level vertical eyeballs, but I can't say anything about the progress of Sith crystal research!"
Meredith, who knew that she had lost her words, laughed very relaxedly. "Understood. Such research progress really needs to be kept secret!"
Raymond, who was relieved, did not shy away from it, and added with a smile. "It's best if you can understand, otherwise it will be very troublesome to explain......"
Meredith, who did not continue the topic, turned her expression serious. "Originally, there were as many as 20,000 mercenaries who followed and left Hurricane City, but in the end, there were less than 7,000 left who successfully broke through the Sith tribe's blockade in the lava mountains, and you haven't seen an increase in strength for so long, I wonder if you can leak some information?"
The cunning in Lady Meredith's eyes made Raymond hesitate, but he thought about it and told the truth. "The energy contained in the vertical eyeballs is the root of my promotion, but the accumulation of negative emotions contained in the eyeballs is very headache!"
"It's very difficult to strip away negative emotions, but I have a special way to slow down the accumulation of negative emotions in the body!"
Raymond, who looked Ms. Meredith in the eye and quickly frowned, understood that she was making a condition.
And Ms. Meredith, who regarded Raymond as a junior, smiled and began to tell. "In more than a month, the Sith base that has been broken by mercenaries is not small, but these Sith crystals and those crystal fragments harvested cannot be used, if you can share the results of the research, it is also a good thing for the direction of the battle......
The breached Sith base has left Meredith with a large number of Sith crystals and crystal fragments in his hands, and the probability of reaching an agreement through a simple exchange is very low.
Hundreds of ordinary Sith crystals were not very tempting to Raymond, but the more than a hundred crystal fragments in the hands of Ms. Meredith made Raymond covet them very much.
After much hesitation, Raymond made his request. "All crystal fragments must be examined by me first, and if I can pick out the right crystal fragments, then I can tell you a part of my research on Sith crystals!"
"This is not possible! the price paid to breach the Sith base is too high, and it is currently on the way to retreat to the southern frontier, and it is unlikely that you can get more crystal fragments," Meredith, who flatly refused, also voiced her concerns. "What's more, some big families in the mercenaries are also collecting these crystal fragments, and it is impossible for them to hand over the crystal fragments without enough benefits!"
"It's impossible to change the preconditions, and mercenaries aren't the only ones with the power of crystal fragments!"
Meredith's insistence was a little displeased, but her eyes fell on Evely in the corner.
Like a couple reunited after a long absence, Evely and the madman Willard were whispering as if no one was around, but the ambiguous appearance of the two made Raymond feel a lot more chilled.
Meredith, who turned her gaze back again, looked a little helpless. "I'll bring all the crystal fragments with me in a moment, but you must make sure that the results of the research you give me are satisfactory!"
"Don't worry, since it's an equivalent exchange, as long as the crystal fragments you provide can meet my needs, then the published research results will definitely satisfy you!"
Lady Meredith, who nodded and stood up, walked out, and Evely and the madman Willard, who were still tired of being together, immediately came to Raymond.
"The guards also have a lot of crystal fragments, so I can take them out for you to choose from now," Evely, who was flushed with a blushing face but cold in his eyes, went straight to the point. "Lord Raymond, you probably won't let Meredith monopolize the research on Sith crystals, right?"
Raymond, who was a little surprised, laughed and looked at the somewhat nervous madman Willard for a moment, and then told the content of the agreement with Meredith, and added later. "The conditions can be the same, but I'm not sure the end result will be satisfactory to you!"
With a flick of his fingers, a large pile of crystal fragments appeared in front of Raymond, and the smiling Yveli's voice became a little softer. "It's okay, I'm sure you won't favor one over the other......" (To be continued......
