Chapter 77

"A strong opponent is not terrible. What's terrible is your cowardly heart that dare not face the challenge!" - bald eagle Lanci

In a fighting training room equipped with new era equipment, men with short blond hair beat the boxing dolls with fists wrapped in red flame. The doll shaped with high-strength resin armor has good resistance, and even the flame on the fist has not been able to make the doll appear slightly charred. Even the temperature of the red flame on the man's hand has reached the high temperature of six Baidu.

Six Baidu high temperature is the symbol of the mastery of the third-order fire element. The man in the fist is Sauron.

The last blow to the doll with all his strength, the flame on the fist dispersed, and Sauron lay on the alloy floor.

This is an underground fighting training room set up in the base camp of the parkland family, and Soren should have stayed in the eternal night city of the dark Council to receive advanced training in blood riding at this time. The reason why he stayed at home was that he was suspended for up to three months because of the failure of Soren's mission.

Leah's blood samples had been taken back to the dark Council, and the three tubes of samples were immediately received by the Council's Academy of Sciences and put into research. But as Sauron had thought, he should have brought back Leah, a living specimen of the disorder. Because of Leah's death, the mission was considered by the upper level of blood riding as Soren's improper handling, so it was recognized as a mission failure.

So now Soren will appear at home, indicating that it is a vacation, but it is actually a disguised punishment, which Soren knows better than anyone. During the three months of his vacation, his competitors in the blood horse can take advantage of this vacuum period. This will lead to a series of unpredictable consequences. It is now certain that Soren's position in the family has been shaken, not only in the blood horse.

At the thought of this, Sauron remembered his golden eye. How could he have ended up like this if he hadn't killed a zero on the way. But the attitude of zero's violent walk is still deeply engraved in Sauron's mind. Sauron did not dare and did not want to touch zero again until he forgot him.

But Soren doesn't want to touch zero, which doesn't mean he's willing to let him go. In fact, he already has a target candidate. The man was Kabu's father and a fifth order sniper expert. Soren knew that when the other party learned that his son died in the hands of zero, the man would not let go of zero.

Because the man put all his efforts on cabe.

It's a pity that the man nicknamed bald eagle went to a small elk town after he retired. It is far from the coastline redeveloped after the great disaster, and the transportation is inconvenient. Even though Soren sent his entourage two months ago, calculating the time, the entourage only arrived at Milu town in these two days.

If you get the news and use some special means of transportation, it will take more than ten days for the bald eagle to get back. But it doesn't matter. As long as he can come back, Soren imagines that zero's death should not be far away.

At the thought of this, Sauron put a faint smile on his mouth again.

Mainland China is very big. In the past 50 years after the great disaster, with the development of companies and nobles, many lands have returned to the embrace of civilization. According to incomplete statistics, there are not 800 or 1000 settlements or bases in the form of civilization in mainland China alone. However, these large and small human colonies only occupy a coastline from east to north of the continent.

From west to East, nearly 80% of the mainland is still chaotic and unknown. There is full of darkness and danger. Even the most powerful organization in the mainland, the dark parliament, and the bloody Knights of the armed group have never inserted the scarlet flag into the southwest. There are too many unknown lives, countless ruins are shrouded in Savage darkness, and the light of civilization has not yet touched the forbidden area of life.

Therefore, the southwest is an adventure paradise for all kinds of strong people. Some people bring back valuable species or resources on this mysterious land, but more are killed by undiscovered mutant creatures wandering on this land, which have become their belly food. Only a pile of bones are left on the desolate land. Even sometimes, there are no bones.

But even so, more people flock to this unknown field. There are hundreds of related tasks released by the dark Council through various company networks. Whether the dark Council or other chaebols, their senior executives are eager to carry forward the secrets of this land. For them, the unknown represents a large number of resources that have not been discovered, which are great wealth.

Elk town.

This is a small town on the edge of the southwest. It is said that before the great disaster, a large number of elk lived and bred here in the fertile forest resources near the town. The residents of the town make a living by domesticating elk, so it is called elk town.

But after the catastrophe, elk either died or mutated into a ferocious species. Large areas of forest are replaced by sand and stone. The huge wound of the Earth naturally separates the town from the mysterious southwest land. Until twenty years ago, a major among the bloody Knights led thousands of soldiers to the town, rebuilt the elk town and set it as a bridgehead to the southwest.

Based in the small town, the power of the dark Council has continuously entered the southwest. In the last decade alone, the blood knight has invested in a general, five major generals, more than a dozen major and hundreds of blood cavalry. For other developed areas, this force is enough to destroy all known chaebols and settlements along the entire coastline. It can be put into the development of the southwest, but it is like a stone sinking into the sea.

They seemed to have disappeared and never returned to elk town.

So the dark Council changed its policy and opened elk town to other people on the mainland. Both individuals and organizations can enter elk town for supply as long as they pay a certain fee. However, all those who want to venture into the southwest must acquiesce in a contract that does not exist in any paper media, that is, they need to fulfill the obligation of mapping for the dark Council.

From the moment of entering Milu Town, adventurers of any status acquiesced in the rationality of the contract. If you don't, it's not as simple as slapping your ass and being thrown out of town. Both individuals and organizations will be subjected to terrorist retaliation by the dark Parliament.

The contract established its inviolability with the blood of hundreds of powers two years ago. So now, no one is stupid enough to challenge the authority of the dark Council and the force of the bloody knight.

Wherever there are adventurers, there must be pubs. This has almost become common sense, and elk town is no exception. The only tavern in the town, "dragon and beauty", was opened by the dark Council. The fees charged for drinks and services here are more than ten times that of other taverns in the mainland. If the tavern had not been opened by the dark Council and stationed a blood riding captain all the year round, the tavern would have been opened by angry adventurers.

Today, adventurers naturally have to endure the exploitation of Parliament in silence. Of course, it's all voluntary to come to the pub to drink and have fun, and the dark Council won't force you to spend with a knife around your neck. It's just that few adventurers don't like wine. Even if the pubs are low-quality goods mixed with alcohol and water, some adventurers still enjoy it.

Even if you don't like drinking, it's undeniable that pubs are an important place to collect information. You can stop drinking, but you can't stop intelligence. Entering the southwest without intelligence is like walking around a fierce beast naked. No one will be willing to do so.

The sources of intelligence are exchange and purchase. There are adventurers selling intelligence, but the most accurate and valuable information can only be sold by the tavern owner, the dark Council. Of course, you don't have to expect to buy more than three levels of intelligence information in the tavern. Those are the secret information of the dark Council, which can't be bought by money.

But recently, an adventurer peddled all kinds of intelligence in the pub. Although this information is not enough for the information that the dark Council does not sell, it is much more valuable than the information sold by other adventurers or the tavern itself. Many adventurers have bought valuable information from the man, brought back things several times the value of the information itself, and then left elk town happily.

In the eyes of adventurers, they are all lucky guys. They may be moved by other adventurers on the way, but as long as they return to the base protected by basic laws and regulations, they will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their life.

So more and more people almost lined up with money to buy information from the adventurer, and the man's name also appeared on the tactical board computer of Captain Blood riding in the tavern.

The man's name is Lanqi and he has the nickname of a bald eagle. His ability is a fifth level sniper specialization, but for the first half of his life, he served pachlan, the marginal chaebol of the dark Council. It was not until five years ago that he left the pachlan chaebol and ventured alone to the southwest. For five years, he had few records of entering and leaving Milu Town, and he didn't start selling all kinds of intelligence until a month ago.

The captain of the bloody Knight looked at the black man with silver hair and beard on the tactical board. With a stroke of his finger recently, he threw his information into the folder. An adventurer selling intelligence is not worth his attention. The captain wants to know how long he will stay in this place where the bird doesn't shit before he can be transferred back to the blood riding headquarters.

Elk town is indeed an important stronghold for the dark Council. Even if the blood riders who can be dispatched here fail to achieve anything, they will add contribution value according to the length of garrison time to improve their level. But that's all for the blood horse of the combat system. He was left in a semi retired position like a captain. When he returned, he was still just a captain. Even if there is additional contribution value, it is not enough for him to be promoted to a major.

When the captain was worried about his future, the bald eagle appeared in the tavern again. It's just that this is the last time he appears in the pub. Because in the near future, he will receive a message that he has to leave elk town.
