Chapter 77 bald eagle
"The powerful opponent is not terrible, the cowardly heart that you dare not face the challenge!" - White-headed Eagle Lanqi
In a fighting training room equipped with new era equipment, a man with short golden hair kept beating the boxing doll with his fist wrapped in red flames. The dolls shaped with high-strength resin armor have good resistance, and even the flame on the fist has never caused some slight burn marks. Even if the temperature of the red flame in the man's hand has reached 60 degrees.
The high temperature of six hundred degrees is a sign of mastery of the third-order fire element. The man in the fist is Sauron.
He made a final blow to the doll with all his strength, the flame on his fist dissipated, and Sauron lay on the alloy floor.
This is an underground fighting training room set up in the base camp where the Parkland family is located, and Sauron should have stayed in the Eternal Night City of the Dark Council at this time to receive blood riding training. The reason why I stayed at home was that I was suspended for three months because of the failure of the previous Soren mission.
Lia's blood samples have been brought back to the Dark Parliament, and the three-tube samples were immediately accepted by the Parliament's Academy of Sciences and put into study. But as Sauron thought before, he should have brought back Leah, a living specimen of an orderless person. Because of Leah's death, the mission was regarded by the blood-riding upper class as Sauron's improper handling, so it was identified as a failure of the mission.
So now Sauron will appear at home, indicating that it is a vacation, but it is actually a disguised punishment, which Sauron knows better than anyone else. In the three months of his vacation, his rivals in the blood horse can take advantage of this vacuum period. This will lead to a series of unpredictable consequences, and it is now certain that Sauron's position has been shaken not only in the blood horse, but also in the family.
Thinking about this, Sauron remembered the golden eye. If he hadn't killed a zero halfway, how could he have come to such an end? But the attitude of zero violence was still deep in Sauron's mind. Before he forgot him, Sauron did not dared and unwilling to contact Zero again.
But Sauron doesn't want to touch zero, which doesn't mean he is willing to let him go. In fact, he already has a target candidate. That man is Kabu's father and a fifth-level sniper expert. Sauron knew that when the other party learned that his son died in Zero, the man would not let go of Zero.
Because of that man, he put all his efforts on Kabu.
Unfortunately, the man nicknamed eagle went to a small elk town after retirement. It is far from the coastline that was redeveloped after the cataclysm, and the transportation is inconvenient. Even if Sauron sent his entourage two months ago, it was only two days before the entourage arrived in Elk Town.
If you get this news and use some special means of transportation, it will take more than ten days for the eagle to come back. But it doesn't matter. As long as he can come back, Sauron imagines that the death of zero should not be far away.
Thinking of this, Sauron put a faint smile on his mouth again.
The mainland of China is very large. In the past 50 years after the catastrophe, under the development of companies and nobles, many lands have returned to the embrace of civilization. According to incomplete statistics, there are not 800 or 1,000 settlements or bases in the form of civilization in the mainland of China. However, these large and small human settlements are just a coastline from east to north of the mainland.
And nearly 80% of the continents from west to east are still chaotic and unknown. It is full of darkness and danger. Even the dark parliament, the most powerful organization in the mainland, and the bloody knights of the armed group, have never planted the fishy red flag on the southwest land. There are too many unknown lives there, countless ruins are shrouded in barbaric darkness, and the light of civilization has not yet touched this forbidden place of life.
Therefore, the southwest is an adventure park for all kinds of strong people. Some people bring back valuable species or resources on this mysterious land, and more have become killed by undiscovered mutants wandering in this land, becoming their stomach meals, leaving only a pile of bones on the desolate land. Sometimes, there are even no corpses.
But even so, more people flock to this unknown field. There are hundreds of related tasks released by the Dark Parliament through various corporate networks alone. Whether it is the Dark Parliament or other chaebols, their senior officials are eager to carry forward the secrets of this land. For them, the unknown represents a large amount of undiscovered resources, which are huge wealth.
Elk Town.
This is a small town located on the edge of the southwest. It is said that before the disaster, there were fertile forest resources near the town, and a large number of elk live and breed here. The residents of the town make a living by domesticating elk, so it is called elk town.
But after the catastrophe, the elk either died or mutated into a ferocious species. Large forests are replaced by sand and rocks, and the huge wounds on the earth naturally separate the town from the mysterious southwest. Until 20 years ago, a major among the bloody knights led thousands of soldiers to the town to rebuild Elk Town and set it as a bridgehead to the southwest.
With the town as the stronghold, the power of the dark parliament has spread to the southwest. In the past ten years alone, the bloody knights have invested in a general, five major generals, more than a dozen majors and hundreds of bloody horses. For other developed areas, this force is enough to destroy all known chaebols and settlements on the entire coastline. But it can be put into the development of the southwest land, but it is like a stone sinking into the sea.
They seemed to have disappeared and never returned to Elk Town.
So the Dark Parliament changed its policy and opened Elk Town to other people in the mainland. Whether it is an individual or an organization, as long as they pay a certain fee, they can enter Elk Town for supplies. It's just that all those who want to venture into the southwest must acquiesce in a contract that does not have any paper media, that is, to fulfill the obligation to map the Dark Parliament.
From the moment he stepped into Elk Town, adventurers of any status tacitly approved the rationality of the contract. If you don't do this, it's not as simple as being thrown out of town. Individuals and organizations will be retaliated by the Dark Parliament.
Two years before the beginning of the contract, it established its irresistible status with the blood of hundreds of powers. So now, no one is stupid enough to challenge the authority of the dark parliament and the power of the bloody knights.
As long as there are adventurers, there must be pubs. This has almost become common sense, and Elk Town is no exception. The only pub "Dragon and Beauty" in the town is opened by the Dark Council, and the price of drinks and services here is more than ten times that of other pubs in the mainland. If the tavern had not been opened by the dark council and was stationed with a blood-riding captain all year round, the tavern would have been lifted by angry adventurers.
Today, adventurers naturally have to silently endure the exploitation of parliament. Of course, it is voluntary to come to the pub for drinking and having fun, and the dark council will not force you to consume with a knife around your neck. It's just that few adventurers don't like alcohol. Even if the pub is full of low-quality goods mixed with alcohol and water, some adventurers still enjoy it.
And even if you don't like drinking, it is undeniable that pubs are an important place to collect information. You can stop drinking, but you can't do without intelligence. Entering the southwest without intelligence is like walking beside a fierce beast without clothes, and no one will be willing to do so.
The source of information is exchange and purchase. There are adventurers who sell intelligence, but only the most accurate and valuable can be sold by the pub owner, that is, the Dark Council. Of course, you don't have to expect to buy intelligence information above level 3 in the tavern. Those are the secret information of the dark parliament and can't be bought with money.
But recently, an adventurer has been selling all kinds of information in the tavern. Although this information is not enough for the information that the dark council does not sell, it is much more precious than the information sold by other adventurers or the tavern itself. Many adventurers have bought precious information in that person's mouth, bringing many times more valuable things than the intelligence itself, and then left Elk Town happily.
In the eyes of adventurers, they are all lucky guys. Maybe they will be moved by other adventurers on the way, but as long as they return to the base protected by basic laws and regulations, those things will be enough for them to have no worries for the rest of their lives.
So more and more people almost lined up with money in their hands to buy information from the adventurer, and this person's name also appeared on the tavern's bloody captain's tactical board computer.
This person's name is Lan Qi, with the nickname of bald eagle. His ability is a fifth-order sniper specialty, but in his first half of his life, he served Parkland, a marginal chaebol of the dark parliament. It was not until five years ago that I left the Parkland chaebol and went to the southwest alone for adventure. In five years, he had few records of entering and leaving Elk Town, and it was not until a month ago that he began to sell all kinds of information.
The captain of the Blood Knight looked at the black man with silver hair and silver beard on the tactical board. He recently scratched his finger and threw his information into the folder. An adventurer who sells intelligence is not worth it. What the captain cares about is how long he has to stay in this place where the birds don't shit before he can be transferred back to the Bloody Knight headquarters.
Mulu Town is indeed an important stronghold for the Dark Parliament. Even if the blood riders who can be transferred here have not made any achievements, they will add contribution values according to the length of their stay to improve their rank. But that's all for the blood horse of the combat system. He was left in a semi-retired position like the captain, and after returning, he was still just a captain. Even if there is an additional contribution value, it is far from enough for him to be promoted to a major.
When the captain was worried about his future, the bald eagle appeared in the pub again. However, this was his last appearance in the pub. Because soon, he will receive news that he will have to leave Elk Town.
