Monarch of Evernight: Twenty unsolved questions
bsp;The major raised his hands to show his resignation, and then said with a wry smile: "I will try my best to say hello and let them review normally. The observation period is one month. If there is really no infection, they will be released. If this doesn't work. , you’d better kill me.”
With normal review, there will be a more reasonable survival rate. Qianye sighed secretly in his heart, retracted the foot that was holding the major, then put the Eagle Strike into the holster and turned his back.
"That's it, I'll pay attention to the results." After saying that, Qianye turned and left.
The major got up, twisted his neck hard, and suddenly shouted at Qianye's back: "Hey! Boy, don't do such stupid things next time!"
Qianye seemed not to hear and left without looking back.
The major spit out **** phlegm and cursed: "What a **** monster!"
It is unclear whether this sentence evaluates Qianye's strength or character.
Qianye walked very fast, and soon everything was deserted again. However, at this moment, the major's words were still echoing in his heart.
Rescuing the people raised by the vampire clan seems to be a thankless and stupid task now. It's not that these people shouldn't be saved, but it's because of the current system of the entire empire and the principle of preferring to kill the wrong slaves rather than let them go.
This system and principles have been honed by thousands of years of cruel wars and the flesh and bones of countless pioneers and powerful men. They cannot even be judged as right or wrong based on the limitations of one time and one place. If anything, the fact that the empire exists today and is still strong shows that it is correct.
Even if Qianye has different ideas, he is only one person and cannot fight against the entire system, not to mention that he has no clue now. At least in front of him, it was impossible for him to really kill the major of the expeditionary force and the checkpoint guards for the sake of dozens of supported humans. That would be a stupid move to destroy the Great Wall. No matter how many problems the expeditionary force has, it is still the last line of defense for mankind against the dark race on the Evernight Continent.
The last plan proposed by the major was already the most tolerant plan under the current circumstances. But after Qianye thought about it more deeply, he discovered that the matter did not end there. Even if those dozens of people were released safely in the future, their situation would still be different. Not much better.
The empire has four continents and more than 300 provinces, but compared with the huge population and the threat of powerful foreign enemies, the resources are never enough.
On the territory of the empire, hundreds of millions of poor people at the bottom are struggling between life and death every day. In contrast, these supported people are not qualified to receive better treatment unless they can prove themselves useful.
However, this is not easy. Some of those humans were captured. They have memories of the human kingdom and may be able to integrate into society. Some were born in and grew up in the dark territory. If no one specifically guides them, they will Whether it can adapt to life in human society is still unknown.
Until today, Qianye encountered a problem that he had never thought about before for the first time, that is, the aftermath of the end of the war, but he didn't know where the answer was.
After returning to Dark Blood City, Qianye first went to Hajime Weapon Shop.
Master Yi raised his head, glanced at Qianye expressionlessly, and said, "Are you here again?"
"I have some good things for you." Qianye said and threw a satchel on the counter.
Master Yi snorted, stood up slowly, and said: "Good thing? I think it is troublesome! Sooner or later, I will have to leave this old bone in your hands..."
Before Master Yi finished speaking, his voice suddenly stopped.
The buckle of the satchel was broken and had fallen apart, revealing the pair of vampire antique short guns. Master Yi suddenly took off his glasses, wiped them carefully, then took out a pair of snow-white gloves and put them on. Then he held his breath, gently pulled out the two short guns and placed them on the white cloth.
"Go and close the door!" Mr. Yi said without looking back.
Qianye locked the door of the store as he was told, feeling a little more expectant in his heart. Back then, the level three flowing golden rose could be sold for five hundred gold coins. These two antique short guns were paired, and they were still level four force guns! How can it be worth two or three thousand?
In this way, the supplies on the second master’s list are no longer a problem.
Of course, Qianye is willing to take on that mysterious task as long as it is not too troublesome. Although it may not be as simple as it seems, otherwise the second master would not deliberately find him, but based on his trust in Yu Yingnan, Qianye still feels that there is no harm in giving it a try.
While wiping the short gun with a velvet cloth, Master Yi carefully traced every pattern on it with his thumb. On the handle of one short gun, there is an R engraved on it, while on the other short gun there is a curlicue W.
Master Yi put the two short guns side by side and said to Qianye: "You can take these two guns back, I can't take them away."
"Can't accept it? Why?" Qianye was stunned for a moment.
Yiye pointed to the two letters on the gun and said: "If I read it correctly, you must have got these two guns from the collection room of a certain vampire noble. The abbreviations of these two letters Although it may have many meanings, there is only one name that appears on a pair of force guns, Ross Wilder, an extremely famous vampire noble. These two guns are the guns he wore when he was young. 'Twin Flowers', they became famous when Ross was just a baron, which was equivalent to our ninth-level warrior. He killed the then-warlord of Darkblood City in a head-on battle and completed the final blow. Yes, these two short guns."
"That should be more valuable, right?" Qianye asked puzzledly.
Master Yi shook his head and said: "The problem is that Ross Wilder is not dead yet, and is still alive and well. He is now a marquis. His territory is vast to the west of Darkblood City. Area, this pair of short guns should be a gift from him to a certain descendant. No matter how you get them, it is a slap in the face to Marquis Ross, and he will never let it go. So, I can't accept it. , no one in the entire Rock Territory and surrounding areas dared to collect these two things."
At this point, Master Yi glanced at Qianye meaningfully and said: "You know, the border between darkness and dawn is actually what people call the gray area. The so-called gray means the coexistence of black and white. So darkness If the race wants to do something, there will be many ways, and there will be many humans willing to work for them."
Qianye was a little stunned. From the incident in Blackstream City to seeing the black market and underground arms in Darkblood City, he had realized that there might be more transactions and dealings between the human race and the dark race behind the scenes than he could imagine. many. But before Master Yi pointed it out so bluntly, he still had never imagined that a vampire marquis would have such a powerful influence in a human-controlled area.
Besides being surprised, Qianye could not help but feel angry. In fact, it makes sense if you think about it. Even the active division commanders of the expeditionary force can secretly trade with the dark races. So why is it strange that other families and forces do the same?
Qianye took a deep breath and took back the pair of short guns, "So, not only will I not be able to sell this thing, but will I also be hunted by the vampires?"
"It seems so."
However, Master Yi immediately hinted to Qianye in a subtle way that just because Rose's twin guns couldn't be sold in Dark Blood City, it didn't mean they couldn't be sold in the upper continent. Qianye thought about it and understood his subtext. A vampire marquis who was able to kill human warriors at the baron level was indeed a big shot, but he was just a big shot in this territory. In the final analysis, it was still a matter of strength. The Marquis of Ross can't reach the upper continent yet.
In addition to the pair of 'two-life flowers' that he can't get rid of now, Qianye's trophies also include a bag of crystal coins and a level three force gun belonging to the blood knights of the patrol, so in the end he had about a hundred more in his pocket Imperial gold coins can be considered a small gain.
After handling the equipment, Qianye went to report to Erye. After a while, the two found a quiet shop near the Hunter's House to sit down and chat while eating.
After listening to Qianye’s adventures, the second master’s expression gradually turned from admiration to solemnity, and then he smiled helplessly.
Qianye looked calm and said, "Why, do you think I got into trouble?"
"The person who was killed should be a descendant of Ross Wilder. The fact that it can develop into a small independent clan means that it is at least five generations of his direct blood. What do you think? I know that you are never afraid of fighting the dark race head-on. But the fatal dagger is often stabbed from behind."
Qianye smiled slightly and said: "I am not that easy to deal with. If anyone is willing to sacrifice his life for the dark race, then I don't mind gaining more lives. I will kill as many as they come!"
"You are only at Level 4!" Mr. Er said sincerely. In fact, it's just because Qianye is only at level 4. If he were at level 8 or 9 or even broke through the war general, there would be much fewer black hands behind it. When it comes to selling out, you have to look at who you are selling to!
Qianye just smiled and did not comment on the level.
The second master said sternly: "Now I can talk to you about the mission. Miss Qiqi will send someone over tomorrow for the last interview. If you pass the test, you will leave on the same day. However, I I think you’ll have no problem passing the test.”
"Miss Qiqi?" This is a name that is completely unfamiliar to Qianye.
"Yin Qiqi, one of the core heirs of the Yinma Yin family. Looking at the entire empire, the Yin family can be classified as a third-grade family, and it is one of the first-class noble families in Qinlu. Therefore, Miss Qiqi's status should be roughly It’s clear.”
Qianye naturally knows it very well. The aristocratic class of the empire is quite complex. There are four great clans, seventy-two aristocratic families, and more than a thousand noble families. They have generally followed the nine-grade classification when the country was founded. Among the upper three ranks, Zhang, Zhao, Bai, and Song are the well-deserved leaders of the high sects. There are also some super aristocratic families whose strength is not much worse than them. Although the rankings of the upper, middle and lower ranks will always change, the Yinma Yin family Prominent families such as the Far Eastern Wei family and the Langya Wang family have never fallen out of the upper third rank.
The most intuitive manifestation is that when Qianye was still on a mission in Red Scorpion, each time he received mission information, there would be a page specifically explaining the exceptions where the local 'casualty indicators' could not be used. Generally speaking, those who were above the third grade It's under protection.
The core heir of a third-grade family like Yin Qiqi, in terms of status in the imperial aristocracy, is much higher than the Lord of Dark Blood City and the Major General of the Expeditionary Force.
What makes Qianye a little confused is, what kind of tasks does a young lady with such a prominent position like her need to find a low-level hunter to complete?
The second master said: "Your mission is to serve as Miss Qiqi's advisor, adjutant, soldier, assassin, and lover when necessary during her stay in Yongye Continent."
Qianye had just taken a sip of water, and when he heard this, he almost sprayed it on the second master's face: "Lover?!"
The second master rolled his eyes: "Of course it's fake!"
