Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-six Incidents

bsp;Qianye jumped on the truck and searched carefully inside and out to make sure that all traces of himself were eliminated. Then he found a force gun from the guard and Qi Yue.

Qi Yue is wearing a pistol-type force gun. The model name is Hornet. It is of high quality and has a force conversion rate of 30%. It can be considered a second-level firearm. The guard's one was an assault rifle type. It was a second-hand product retired from the Expeditionary Corps. It was a product of the last century. Although it was old, it could still be classified as a first-class rifle.

The empire and the dark race have the same standards for grading Force firearms, and the core indicator is the Force conversion rate. 20% is the minimum starting line. Those that reach 20% are first-level firearms, and then every 10% increase in conversion rate will increase the level. For example, the special version of Red Scorpion's Scorpion Needle is level four, and the basic version of the Golden Rose that Qianye got should be considered level three. As for the antique Dawn Light Type 1, it is not popular at all nowadays, not even first-class.

Qianye also found the mithril bullet from the guard. This little guy is a weapon against the dark race. He opened the sealed box and looked at it. The rich mithril aura still made his blood boil and he felt uncomfortable.

However, the previous battle with the Vampires made Qianye see a new possibility. If he could control the power of blood in his body to infuse original energy bombs, he might not have to rely solely on silver poison when dealing with the Vampires in the future. According to the results of the battle against the fourth-level Vampire old man, using heavy warheads, plus the additional damage caused by blood energy to Vampires, one can basically kill Vampire warriors of the same level with one shot. When facing a vampire warrior one or two levels above him, if a shot hits a vital point, it should be able to severely damage the opponent.

Qianye still cannot understand the abnormality in himself at this time, but he has the most simple and pragmatic style of a soldier, using all means to attack the enemy, only asking about the results, not the cause and effect.

In addition to these equipment, Qianye also found more than a dozen imperial gold coins. Even for Qi Yue's status, it is considered a considerable fortune.

Qianye tore off the tactical backpack from the guard, emptied it of the unused items, leaving only a set of precision tools for gun maintenance, and then took out the Blood Tribe’s Golden Rose and all the tactical accessories. Put it in. The escort's assault rifle was disassembled and put into a backpack.

He only took the complete Dawnlight and Wasp with him and began to turn back. Soon Qianye found the box he had hidden. He sat next to it and practiced for a while, then he heard the clear ringing of the time lock on the suitcase. The three-hour warning time had expired.

Qianye pressed the switch on the suitcase lightly, and the lid automatically popped open, revealing the goods covered with thick velvet cloth. A small force level was fixed on it, and one end of the blue lead was a timing device. The red lead extends all the way to the box cover.

The inside of the flipped-up box lid was actually filled with plastic explosives. This amount was enough to blow up the contents of the box and the person holding the box to nothing.

Qianye carefully removed the level gauge, timing device and automatic detonator, then lifted up the flannel, and immediately took a breath of air, and anger gradually appeared on his face.

There are four black crystals neatly placed in the suitcase. Each piece is the size of a palm and about one centimeter thick.

Sombra!

Qianye never expected that the deal between Qi Yue and the vampires would be to exchange black crystal for the force gun!

The black crystal in the box is a standard cutting unit, and the engraved mark is medium purity. This is not an ordinary combustion driving energy, but a manufacturing grade black crystal! One of the important uses Qianye knew was to make energy compression magazines for Force firearms.

If this batch of labeled black crystals is used for level three force firearms, two can be made from each piece, while one level four force firearm can be made from two pieces.

It seems that the forces behind Qi Yue have channels to obtain a stable source of black crystals, so they have the idea of ​​long-term transactions with the vampires.

And the fully equipped Golden Rose has artistic value. If it is auctioned in the upper-middle-class mainland, it can be exchanged for twenty standard units of black crystal. A full four times the profit, no wonder they dared to take such a big risk and trade with the blood clan. Once this channel is opened, gold coins will naturally roll in.

However, what makes Qianye angry is that if these black crystals fall into the hands of the vampires, they will turn into eight branches of golden roses! If it is an ordinary third-level force gun that is not so sophisticated, ten can be made! After deducting other expenses, this transaction is more than three times profitable for the vampires.

Among the dark races, the vampires have always been the biggest enemies of the human race, because humans are still one of the main dishes on their diet. Deep in the Evernight Continent, as well as on the continent controlled by the dark race, there are countless humans who are kept in captivity like livestock to provide food for the vampire race.

The hatred that has lasted for thousands of years cannot be resolved in any way except to fight to the death.

But in this context, the Qi family actually secretly traded strategic materials such as black crystal to the vampires. This kind of behavior is completely supporting the enemy! According to the laws of the Empire, any contact with the dark race is a felony. Once discovered, the lightest sentence is life imprisonment. And the current behavior of the Qi family is completely worthy of annihilating the entire clan.

However, Qianye's short service experience in Red Scorpion told him that things were not that simple. In the Evernight Continent far away from the mainland of the Empire, the Imperial Expeditionary Force is the master. The background of the Qi family is the Imperial Expeditionary Force. If what Qi Yue said is true, he is the illegitimate son of an active division commander in the expeditionary force.

No matter whether there is a bigger black hand behind the transaction that was disrupted by Qianye, the above two factors alone are related. Not to mention bringing the Qi family to justice, the first thing he has to worry about is what he will face next. of pursuit. And it may be a wanted order issued in the name of the expeditionary force.

Qianye thought for a while and decided to change his original plan. He put away the black crystal and took the box back to the battlefield with the vampires. Fortunately, there was no trace of outsiders entering the scene.

He quickly cleaned up the surrounding area, arranged the three vampire corpses together, then reset the delayed detonator on the suitcase lid, placed it on the corpse, and turned around to leave.

A few minutes later, Qianye heard a roar from behind him, and the flames of the explosion rushed tens of meters up. The power of these explosives is indeed strong enough. Under such a level of explosion, the corpses of the vampires will definitely be torn apart, making it difficult to find out the cause of their death.

Qianye determined the direction and walked towards the north instead of returning to Blackstream City. From that direction, you can reach the Rock Territory, which is the garrison area of ​​the 3rd Division of the Expeditionary Force.

Different from the relatively peaceful Blackstream City, the Rock Territory is on the front line of the conflict with the dark races, and many forces are mixed together. There are mercenaries, hunters, and gangs of all sizes everywhere. The situation is much more complicated, and the dominance of the expeditionary force is far less than that of Blackstream City.

Once there, Qianye will re-plan his future path.

In Yunfan City, less than two hundred kilometers away from Heiliu City, Brigadier General Wu Zhengnan got up at five o'clock on time, and then walked into his office when the grand self-ringing clock struck six o'clock. In his more than thirty years in the army, this habit has never changed.

It was still dark at the moment, and it would be another five hours before sunlight could shine down from the edge of the upper and middle continents. But hundreds of blazing gas lamps illuminated the school grounds like daylight. Teams of soldiers were already doing morning exercises on the school grounds, with slogans rising and falling, filled with murderous intent.

Brigadier General Wu Zhengnan is not tall, but is as strong as steel. A pair of thick eyebrows are like unsheathed sharp swords. Although the eyes are disproportionately small, the two slits are full of light.

He stood in front of the window, looking at the warriors on the school field who were as energetic as dragons and wolves. He nodded with satisfaction, then returned to his desk, picked up the latest Imperial Post, and started reading.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door. Wu Zhengnan's face darkened, a little unhappy, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Come in!"

Six to seven in the morning is his time to read the latest news and think about the political situation of the empire. If there is nothing important, no interruption is allowed.

The door opened slightly, and a pretty female adjutant walked in and said, "General, Director Qi said he has something important to ask you."

Qi Sicheng, the logistics director of the 7th Division, was fairly efficient at work and his money-grubbing methods were acceptable. He had never caused Wu Zhengnan any trouble.

The important thing is that he also has a very charming wife who has been there for more than 20 years. Wu Zhengnan has always been very satisfied and has never forgotten her. That woman also secretly gave birth to a son for Wu Zhengnan, but Qi Sicheng just pretended that he didn't know anything about it.

Wu Zhengnan’s voice softened and he said, “Let him come in.”

Although Qi Sicheng is nearly sixty, he looks only in his early forties. He is tall and handsome, full of the charm of a middle-aged man. However, in front of the medium-sized Wu Zhengnan, Qi Sicheng was like a sheep in front of a tiger. Not only did he bend down to apologize, but he also always gave people a feeling of shrinking.

Wu Zhengnan liked his attitude exactly. But on the surface, he still put on a gentle smile and said: "Old Qi, come and sit, there are no outsiders here."

Qi Sicheng, however, straightened his back and said sternly: "General, this is the army. The army is clearly divided up and down, and the order must not be disrupted!"

Wu Zhengnan sighed and said: "Old Qi, you are always so old-fashioned! How many times have I told you, when no outsiders are around, just relax and be casual! Oh, okay, you are here If you come to me at this time, there must be something wrong. Let’s talk about it!”

Qi Sicheng lowered his voice and said: "Something went wrong with the transaction last night. Qi Yue and his entourage died outside the city."

"What!" Wu Zhengnan stood up suddenly, his face turned pale instantly, "What's going on? Isn't everything arranged properly? Is it because those vampires went back on their word?"

"Not those cold-blooded monsters. My people found the remains of the corpses of three vampires nearby, and also found fragments of the box containing the goods. But the items traded by both parties were missing."

Wu Zhengnan's anger quickly subsided, he calmed down and said, "So, someone else is eyeing our transaction?"

Qi Sicheng said slowly: "I think it is unlikely. This is the first transaction. The purpose is just to explore the way and open up channels with this side. The value of the transaction is not great, and the information is strictly confidential. , there are only a few people who have passed through it, and not all of them know all the steps. I have checked them one by one, and there is nothing wrong with them, so I think the most likely possibility is that some people happened to pass by the transaction place and robbed it. Batch things."

Wu Zhengnan looked as sinking as water and asked coldly: "Have you found any clues?"
