Monarch of Evernight: Eighty-six winds fill the building
bsp;The second master was digging through a drawer and took a picture of a five-star hunter's equipment list in front of Qianye. When he heard the news that he was going to buy it, the second master's reading glasses fell from the bridge of his nose. He looked over the frame and asked: "What kind of thing?"
"Black Current City, Seventh Division."
The second master's eyes became sharp. He immediately pushed his reading glasses back to their original position and said slowly: "You want something very dangerous."
Qianye browsed through nearly a hundred items on the equipment list. He had just changed his equipment recently. These good items by hunter standards were basically useless. In the end, he only selected a set of personal light armor and some Blank force bombs.
After doing all this, Qianye put the list back in front of the second master, then smiled and said: "Danger? How do you say it? I just want some general information."
The second master said slowly: "Just last month, Wu Zhengnan was promoted to major general. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that among the numerous division commanders in the expeditionary force, Wu Zhengnan is definitely the most troublesome. Ranked in the top three. Although his surname is Wu and he is from the Weiyang Wu family, it is known that he was a commoner when he started. There is no need to say more about his temperament and means to reach his current position. The private army, the area centered on Heiliu City and Sishui Base is like an independent kingdom, and even the expeditionary force headquarters cannot penetrate."
After finishing speaking, the second master paused, and squeezed out a teasing smile on his wrinkled face, "If you just want some general information, that's it."
Qianye raised his eyes, and the second master's gaze came from behind the lenses. After the two looked at each other for a while, Qianye smiled and said, "Okay, I want his recent transaction trends."
"One hundred gold coins, one hundred gold coins for one message."
Qianye’s brows jumped. In the past market situation of Dark Blood City, one gold coin for each piece of information was already a big deal. Of course, both of them knew that the transactions Qianye was talking about were not the above-ground transactions like purchasing food and weapons for the 7th Division, but were referring to underground transactions. However, one hundred gold coins is equivalent to the price of a second-level force gun, and some four-star mission bounties cannot meet this standard.
Qianye said slowly: "Second Master..."
The second master waved his hand, "It's useless to call it anything. This is for the sake of you as a five-star hunter, and the price is discounted in half! You said it's not good for you to choose, you have to choose Wu Zhengnan. When I go to collect this kind of information, I have to be prepared to eliminate all the informants in the Black Current City area. Do you still think it's expensive now?" The second master put away his probing eyes and put on a no-nonsense attitude. Come.
Qianye said no more and said directly: "How long will it take?"
"Five days, it's not peaceful outside now, it's difficult to move around."
Qianye nodded and said: "Okay, then I will find a place to stay first, and maybe go outside the city for a while."
"Yingnan's house is still there, and no one lives in it. You can live there if you want."
Qianye thought for a while and said, "That's fine."
The second master watched Qianye’s back disappear outside the gate of the Hunter’s House, and pushed the lenses on the bridge of his nose thoughtfully. "Did I make a mistake? Whose child could this be?" He had long known that there must be something wrong with Qianye's origins, but there were a few people in the Abandoned Land who had unspeakable secrets.
Speaking of Wu Zhengnan, the second master could not help but think of Yu Renyan, who died in Dark Blood City. At that time, he was surprised that the two knew each other. Yu Renyan is the commander of Wu Zhengnan's "Dark Blade" special forces. What is the connection between this?
The second master grabbed the wine bottle that Qianye drank from on the counter and shook it. There was no drop left, so he put it back, then found the mission record book and started writing. He is old and can't care so much anymore. Anyway, Yingnan has gone to the upper continent and will not come back in the short term. The Hunter's House only accepts tasks and issues them. What the client wants to do has nothing to do with him.
Qianye walked along the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar streets. When passing through Nantang District, he thought for a moment of his small house and the girl who was as fresh as the grass after the rain at night. . Now he is back before a year is up, but whether she is here or not, Qianye has no plans to go there.
The conversation with the second master just now is still swirling in Qianye’s mind. In fact, when he first told Song Zining that he wanted to return to Yongye, he didn't think about what to do next. In Qianye's original thought, getting rid of the culprit seemed to be the only direct and effective way. Of course he cannot kill a general at this stage, but he will still grow and have the patience to wait until that day.
However, Qianye soon learned that things were not that simple. If his ultimate goal is to prevent the population and black crystal trade, killing Wu Zhengnan does not make much sense, because the interest network is still there, the trading channels are still there, and another agent will soon fill the position vacated by Wu Zhengnan . There was also a subtle hint in the second master's words today. An independent kingdom-like war zone that could not even penetrate the expeditionary force headquarters could not be run by Wu Zhengnan's interests alone.
The winding streets soon came to an end. Qianye looked at the familiar gate in front of him, feeling a little nostalgic in his heart.
Yu Yingnan’s residence has remained the same, with no changes. After such a long time, it has not been visited by thieves, which means that someone has been secretly watching over it. It's just that over time, a thick layer of dust accumulated everywhere inside. It took Qianye a while to clean before clearing out the sleeping area.
Qianye immediately set up many traps in the room, put his luggage away, and settled down. He ran to Xuantong Street several times and brought back several large bags of weapons, ammunition and various tool parts, filling the warehouse and storage room. On the battlefield, Force weapons are not the only option. The extremely limited number of uses limits their effectiveness. When faced with a large number of cannon fodder and low-level fighters, gunpowder weapons sometimes produce better results.
Qianye finished everything, ate some food, and then waited quietly until the clock struck midnight.
He slightly modified his appearance in front of the mirror, put on a heavy windbreaker, hid the twin flowers and shining teeth under the windbreaker, then went out and disappeared into the night.
An hour later, Qianye appeared in a dark alley on the edge of the North District. In the deepest part was a tavern with no signboard and a shabby appearance. There were a few burly men sitting at the door, looking around with fierce eyes. Everyone who passes by.
Qianye walked straight towards the tavern. A big man sitting next to the door suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked Qianye's way.
"Not everyone can enter here. You have to buy a ticket first!"
Qianye waved his hand in front of him and said calmly: "Can I use this to buy a ticket?"
In a blink of an eye, the big man saw clearly what was in Qianye’s hand. His expression immediately changed. He stood up and said respectfully: "Please come in! I hope you can find what you want inside."
"I hope I won't be disappointed." Qianye's voice was deep and slightly hoarse at this moment, and he sounded a bit old.
After he walked into the tavern, several other fierce men at the door approached the big man and asked curiously: "Who is that person?"
The big man glanced at them and said coldly: "You shouldn't know this! If you want to live longer, just ask less questions!"
Behind the mottled and whitish single wooden door is a space that is much larger than expected. The walls are made of exposed bluestone with no extra decoration. The floor is also bluestone, but it is polished very finely and smoothly. The overall style is simple and clean.
As far as a tavern is concerned, it is quite quiet inside. A dozen people are sitting sparsely in various places, whispering to each other from time to time, as if they are chatting about something, but their voices are very soft. There were also a few people sitting at a table alone, each with his head down and drinking wine without even looking around.
But when Qianye walked in, the tavern was silent for a moment, and all eyes were focused on it. He could understand the look in these people's eyes, which was a kind of vigilance towards strangers.
Any place with a relatively fixed circle of contacts will have this reaction to outsiders. But appearing in a tavern, a place open for business, is a bit subtle. Qianye then knew that he was not looking for the wrong place.
Behind the bar, an old man with no features greeted Qianye and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"Three glasses of water."
The old man's face changed slightly and he nodded: "Very good, but you need to wait for a while. Find a place to sit!"
"The bar is good." Qianye said and walked towards the old man.
When Qianye passed by a table, a short and wretched man suddenly approached Qianye, sniffed hard with his huge nose, and suddenly screamed: "Ah ha, guess what I smell, vampire zombie The rancid smell is as pure as a piece of black crystal!”
The temperature in the entire tavern dropped suddenly, and almost everyone's hands were moving towards their weapons.
Qianye stopped, turned around and looked over, and said lightly: "It is a waste to keep a nose that is not useful."
Under the gaze of everyone, Qianye suddenly emitted a mist-like crimson force light, with a few hints of golden light appearing in it, all of which floated towards that person in a flash.
However, the senses of the short and wretched man were different. His nose suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, which was indescribably alluring. He inhaled hard subconsciously, and all of a sudden he smelled those few golden glows. Breathe it all in.
In the second half of the process, the man's face was full of resistance and horror. He seemed to have known that the light gold spots were fatal, but he couldn't resist the attraction of the scent and couldn't help but finish this time. Take a deep breath. He strangled his throat desperately and wanted to scream, but no sound came out.
The huge nose quickly turned black and rotted, leaving a terrible hole in his face! The wretched man fell to the sky and passed out.
The entire tavern was silent, with only two or three low exclamations heard. People looked at Qianye with fear in their eyes.
The strange fragrance only existed in the senses of that short and wretched man. What onlookers saw was the light of the Force emanating from Qianye's body. Sending out the force and killing people invisible is a method that a war general knows best.
Qianye glanced around calmly and said as if nothing had happened: "Who else can't control themselves?"
