Monarch of Evernight: Unexpected news on January 24

bsp;"Huh?" The captain seemed surprised and walked in from the front cabin. This was a bearded man with deep-set eyes, as if he had never slept well, but his gaze was extremely fierce. He glanced at Qianye, his eyelids twitched, his face became much more solemn, and he said, "He is a master. Well, I just don't want them to damage my ship. I don't mean to offend."

Although Qianye did not use his bloodline to lurk, he had restrained his aura. If he were in the empire, few people would be able to see through his strength. But in the neutral land, most of the guys they met had extremely keen intuition. They didn't need to see clearly to know that Qianye was very powerful.

This makes Qianye very helpless, but in this cruel world, those who are not sensitive enough to danger would have died long ago, right?

Qianye nodded to the captain without any intention of pursuing the matter. He stood up and walked past the staggering passengers and crew before preparing to disembark.

When walking, it is inevitable to step on someone's hand or that person's leg, but no one complains, and even the expression on their face does not change. The captain's voice knocked down the entire cabin, but Qianye acted as if nothing had happened. Anyone who wasn't a fool could see that Qianye was much more powerful than him. Regardless of whether they are mercenaries or crew members, they are just unruly and fierce, but they do not have the habit of dying for nothing.

Arriving at the door of the cabin, Qianye saw two other aerostats not far away that had just landed. Most of the people coming out were mercenaries.

Qianye knows the scale of Nan Qingcheng. The Battle of Lingang has just been fought. The exploration site and lair are even more secret. There are no mercenaries at all. It stands to reason that mercenaries who cannot receive business should gradually leave and go to other places to make a living. Anyway, in a neutral place, there are wars everywhere, so there is no need to worry about no one hiring. But now, mercenaries are coming continuously, which is a bit abnormal. Is it related to the underground lair?

Qianye asked the captain: "Are we going to fight again? Why are there so many mercenaries?"

"It's not a war, but it's almost like a war. Something did happen." At this point, the captain remained silent.

Qianye knew that he was trying to hide his identity, so he took out a few gold coins and stuffed them into her. The captain then said: "I heard that there was a little girl in the Black Forest recently. A young master of the Lord of Nanqing City was like this. After getting the news, he rushed to arrest her, but for some reason, he never came back. After this incident, the Lord of Nanqing City was furious and set a heavy reward to capture the little girl. A few people got the news and rushed over to try their luck."

The little girl in the black forest? Isn't that Zhu Ji? Murderous intent arose in Qianye's heart, but he remained calm on the surface and continued to ask: "How much is a little guy worth? Besides, if it was really a little girl, how could it be possible to kill an entire team of guards."

"This is not impossible, because it is the Black Forest, and there are countless native ghosts. The Lord of Nanqing City has made great determination this time, and wants to eliminate all the native ghosts in that area. By the way, he will see if he can destroy the Black Forest. Of course, this is news that most people know."

Qianye stuffed a few more gold coins and asked, "What about the news that others don't know?"

The captain continued to spread his hands and said: "Not enough."

Qianye simply took out his money bag, poured half of the bag of gold coins into it, filled the captain's hand with it, and then said, "Is that enough now?"

Qianye’s cheerfulness greatly satisfied the captain. He stuffed the gold coins in his hand back into his pocket and said, "I know your money is hot to hold. Don’t worry, my news is definitely worth the price. There are two comparisons. Relevant news, and some less certain news, are all included in this price."

The captain turned around and yelled: "Close the hatch, this is valuable and important news. All poor fellows who have no money, please stay inside and wait until I have finished speaking before disembarking!"

The mercenaries on the boat were helpless and muttering, but no one dared to really curse.

The captain then lowered his voice and said: "The first news is that someone recognized that the little girl seemed to be a juvenile spider demon, and somehow mixed up with the original ghosts. It is said that this news reached The Spider Emperor is very interested in this little guy. Part of the bounty offered by the Lord of Nanqing City comes from the Spider Emperor."

"The news spread so fast." Qianye didn't stay in the nest for long. Counting the time to and from the Northern Continent, it only took a few days, and even the Spider Emperor reacted.

"Most mercenaries make money from information. They know what kind of information should be sold to whom." The captain commented and continued: "The second information is related to the empire. It is said that some people are coming over there, of course. It's a secret identity, no one knows what they are here for, but these people are very interested in the wood coming from the Black Forest, and are willing to pay a high price for it. You know that old guy can smell the gold coins from half a continent away. ."

Qianye nodded. The scary thing about the Black Forest, a neutral place, is the native races hidden in it. If all the native races are eliminated, then the Black Forest will just be a living and strange forest, and it can still be chopped down. Therefore, while the Lord of Nanqing City was using the Spider Emperor's money to spread bounties, his real purpose was probably to use the wood from the Black Forest. If the empire makes large-scale acquisitions, it is conceivable that the price of wood from the Black Forest will skyrocket before long.

"There is one last piece of news, which may or may not be related to what is going on here. I heard that someone saw a battleship crash on the edge of the landmass not long ago. It is said that it was a very large battleship, maybe It's the Duke's ship. By the way, it seems to be the battleship of the Eternal Night Blood Tribe, but it eventually crashed into the void, so this news has not been confirmed. Okay, that's all I know. It's time for you to get off the ship. , boy!”

Stepping out of the airship, Qianye looked gloomily, glanced at the mercenaries who were getting off the ship one after another, and left.

Many mercenaries shivered inexplicably, but they didn't know why, they just cursed the hellish weather in the neutral land. The captain squinted his eyes and looked at Qianye's retreating figure. After a long time, he said: "What a murderous aura."

The first mate next to me asked tentatively: "Do you know who he is?"

The captain shrugged and said: "I am just guessing, but if it is really him, it will be lively here. In any case, these bad things have nothing to do with us. Be prepared, in two hours Set sail and try to take one more trip! ”

The first mate and crew members agreed and got busy immediately. During this special period, every time a ship of mercenaries is brought over, you can receive an additional reward from Nan Qingcheng. There are not many days when it is easy to make money like this.

Qianye left the landing field, planning to buy a motorcycle in the city and rush to the Black Forest. But when he came to a neighborhood dedicated to buying and selling motorcycles, he was surprised to find that all the shops were empty, and even the oldest off-road vehicles had been sold out. There weren't even many parts left in the store, and key parts were out of stock, so his idea of ​​buying parts to assemble a motorcycle himself came to nothing.

Qianye’s expression became even more gloomy. The empty streets can only mean one thing, and that is that the motorcycles have been bought by mercenaries. They bought the car for only one purpose, and that was to rush to the Black Forest to capture Xiao Zhuji.

Qianye is still very confident in Xiao Zhuji's fighting power, and is even more at home in the black forest. In terms of combat power on paper, even a complete mercenary group would be cannibalized and destroyed by her. However, combat is not a numbers game on paper after all. Mercenaries are good at using various insidious methods, such as traps, poisons, etc. After all, Zhu Ji is young and does not have rich combat experience, so it is very likely that she was caught by a trap.

Now that time was running out, Qianye stopped buying transportation tools and instead left the city. He robbed a motorcycle from a small group of mercenaries outside the city and drove to the Black Forest at full speed.

At this moment, the Black Forest is countless times more lively than before. When Qianye arrived, the first thing he saw were three large camps and even a simple airship landing site. Beside the landing field, various cargo boxes were piled up like a hill. Some of the boxes had been opened, and engineers and mercenaries were assembling them. It seemed that they were assembling heavy-duty trucks and some logging machinery. In the central camp, there is even a half-built power tower.

Obviously the person in charge of this operation is very ambitious and plans to eat all of this black forest.

There are many wooden stakes erected outside the camp, with native race warriors hanging on them. This is a psychological tactic, on the one hand it is intimidation, on the other hand it is intended to anger the native races and try to get them to come out of the Black Forest. As long as they leave the Black Forest, their combat strength will be weakened by at least one third.

I don’t know if such a tactic will work, but the mercenaries are wallowing between life and death, and naturally they have violent emotions in their hearts that need to be vented.

The native race warriors hanging on the wooden stakes are basically humanoid, but many parts of their bodies have the characteristics of wild beasts, and some of them are extraordinarily tall, with long arms and legs, but very slender figures. thin. Those with beast characteristics are the lowest level warriors among the native races. They only have low intelligence and are basically cannon fodder. Only those tall warriors over two meters tall are the backbone of the native race.

Qianye had never observed the native race up close, so he walked under the wooden pile and looked at it carefully. There are obvious protrusions in the throats of these warriors, which should be organs capable of emitting special whistles. In addition, judging from their body shape, they are very suitable for fighting in the forest.

While watching, a group of mercenaries rushed out of the camp noisily, shouting as they ran: "The little guy has been surrounded! Hurry up!"

"What? Have you completed the encirclement? It's so awesome!"

"I heard that the Fury of the Wind mercenary group completed the penetration, killed countless native ghosts, and finally surrounded the native ghosts and the little guy in a forest area."

Suddenly a group of young mercenaries became anxious: "Then what are you waiting for? We're too late and we can't even drink the soup."

The mature warrior sneered: "Do you think the original ghost is so easy to deal with? There are still many people surrounded. If you want to bite them off, I'm afraid a lot of people will die. The black forest is never a fun place. The Fury of the Wind will probably pay a heavy price to penetrate the passage."

At the moment, some people disagreed, "What are the dead spots? Which of us who are fighting the war are not going into battle with our heads high? There is so much money in this business. If we don't take the opportunity to make a profit, how long will we have to wait? I'm afraid of death. What kind of mercenary?"

Many people echoed the words, and a group of mercenaries boarded the car noisily and rushed towards the black forest in a swarm.

Looking at the retreating figures of the mercenaries, Qianye’s eyes were cold and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
