Chapter 68: guards

Views:

From Hughton's words, it's not hard to see that he and Horn are acquainted, and there may be some grievances. Otherwise, Horn would not let himself keep silent about the origin of the blue moonlight, fearing that Hughton would refuse to guide him if he knew about it. Moreover, what Hughton said before seemed to be just a joke, which made Allen feel a little nervous.

Seeing Alan's hesitant to speak, Hugh rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, I was really joking before. But since you survived the death ring, I'm not shameless enough to even I don't even accept this promise. Otherwise, why should I give you the address. "

Allen was overjoyed when he heard that.

"Stop." Hughton changed the subject: "The sequence of the Rubik's Cube is not an easy subject to learn. Even if I am willing to teach you, you may not be able to learn it. So before that, I have to see if you have the qualifications."

Allen nodded and said, "It should be so."

"About this, let's wait until you come back from the surface. Maybe I will kill you on the surface, ha." Hughton said casually, seeing Alan showing a helpless expression, he waved his hand and said with a dry smile: "I'm kidding, all right, let's see these two things. Go, get me the toolbox, it's over there."

Pointing to a corner of the living room, Hughton has already picked up the shadow and started to look at it. Allen helped him bring the toolbox, and Hughton disassembled the destroyed components, and when he took out the Rubik's Cube sequence chip from it. He glanced at it and said, "It turned out to be the handwriting of the old man Rawlins, um, no. The setting of these source points is a bit cumbersome, and it is probably an imitation of his students."

Allen asked curiously: "Can Mr. Hughton still see the designer of the sequence?"

"It's not difficult, everyone's approach is different, especially those guys who advertise themselves as masters, they prefer to leave some of their own logo. Just like Rawlins, in his design, the number 13 is his logo .For example, a sequence actually only needs ten source points to activate, and this old thing will often increase to 13. For example, a sequence with a large power needs to use 16 source points, and the old guy will reduce it to 13 .”

"In this way, the former sequence will waste more source power, and the latter sequence will make the power not up to standard. Of course, Lawlins will always have his own set of explanations, he is one of the few in this field One of the masters. Who dares to question his authority? So you see, this guy is a liar full of nonsense, not as famous as me."

Hughton has already picked up several tools and began to modify the hidden Rubik's Cube sequence: "Look, as long as these few redundant source points are removed, and then the energy guiding circuit is simplified, the usage standard can be lowered."

It was easy for him to say, but it took more than an hour to finally complete the readjustment of this second gear. After reducing the source force requirements, the shadow destruction has shrunk from the original five source force sword shadows to three. As for the Guardian of Silence, the amount of energy absorbed is only reduced by 5%, and the defense power is only reduced by 25%, so its cost performance is quite good.

After repacking the weapons, Allen said goodbye, and agreed with Hughton to visit after returning to Babylon. After seeing Alan off, Hughton walked back to the living room and looked up at the corridor on the second floor. At some point in the shadow of the corridor, a black skirt appeared, and under the skirt, a pair of white bare feet were stepping on the floor. It was an unnatural paleness, slightly morbid. mellow from that

The toes and leg line, it is not difficult to see that it is a girl.

"Vera, the guests have left." Hughton whispered.

The girl in the corridor gave a low "hmm", Hugh sighed lightly, and spread his hands, "What do you think of that boy just now?"

The girl didn't answer, those pale feet retreated into the shadows, and then there were gentle steps that gradually moved away. Hugh nodded and said, "Well, you didn't express your opinion because you don't hate him? What a lucky guy, he passed the biggest hurdle."

"Vera, do you have goulash with potatoes tonight?" Hughton yelled upstairs again.

Still no response.

Hughton shook his head: "If you don't refuse, you agree. When will this child come out of that shadow?"

It was already evening when we returned to Ugal Castle, and after Allen had dinner, he began to train on source power. But today is obviously not as lucky as last time, and can enter the Yuanli Xinghai smoothly. Therefore, after driving the source force for 36 cycles, his body strengthened by the physical potion began to be a little too much. Allen had to stop and move his hands and feet to relieve the painful blood vessels.

This night's training, the total amount of source power has only slightly increased by 1%.

The next morning, Allen came to the training ground and continued to practice sliding. There are only two days left before departure, and he has to seize the time to practice this skill well so that it can play a greater role in actual combat. After practicing for half an hour, Hai Xin pulled a few people over: "Master, this is the guard I found for you."

Allen looked up and swept over, they were all young guards. The oldest one inside is no more than 25 years old, and the youngest looks only seventeen or eighteen. Haixin patted the oldest guard and said, "This is Barney. Regardless of his young age, he has already fought in the Outland battlefield for a year. Barney is a multi-player player, so this temporarily formed team, I let him be the captain. As for the other members, let him introduce them."

Haixin said that he had something to do, so he left first. The man named Barney had curly hair like steel wire, sharp outline, well-proportioned figure, and his movements gave off a feeling of explosiveness. He showed a sunny smile, reached out and shook hands with Allen and said, "It's an honor to serve you, sir."

"Call me Alan."

"Okay, Alan." Barney was not polite. After all, Alan's identity was not disclosed, so this master guard was just a young master of some side branch. He began to introduce other team members to Allen, and there were four remaining guards, Jason, Diman, Arnold, and Marlene from left to right.

Jason is a blasting expert and fireman. He is young but very strong. He is nearly two meters tall, with shiny hair and blood vessels protruding under his skin like an earthworm. Wearing sunglasses, his mouth is constantly moving, chewing gum. When Barney introduced him, Jason showed his white teeth and reached out to shake Alan's hand. However, after Alan held his much smaller palm, he felt that Jason's palm contracted forcefully.

Allen smiled slightly and held it vigorously. The two palms of different sizes are clenched, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two are wrestling in secret. Barney looked at Jason with a headache, for fear that he would hurt the young master. But he saw that Jason's expression was changing drastically. At first there was a smile, but gradually the smile narrowed, then became solemn, and now it is wrinkled

His brows were grinning, as if he was being held tightly by Allen.

"Your hand is very stable. I believe it is more powerful when it is holding the gun." Allen let go of the guard first.

Jason withdrew his hand with a smirk, and then straightened up: "Of course, Master Allen. You will find that Jason is a very brave soldier!"

The others looked behind his buttocks, and the guard's hands were shaking behind him. Seeing this trembling palm, the guards introduced next all put on a serious face, not as sloppy as when they first came in.

Alan used a simple method to obtain their most basic respect.

The next Diman is a scout. This guard is very thin. It is said that he runs quite fast and is good at camouflage and hiding. A Nuo is an expert in close combat. A tactical machete is hung across his waist, and two daggers are tied to the outside of his legs. It is said that there are several throwing knives hidden on his body. It seems that his fighting ability is passable. The last Marlene was a woman, her dark brown skin showed that she had been working in the field for a long time, her hair was cut short, and she was serious. She is a sniper herself, and she can also temporarily act as a fireman when needed.

Barney also handed Alan a piece of information, which showed that Barney himself was a tenth-level engraver. As for the other team members, they are all power users ranging from level six to seven. Even in Bethkind's huge family, the skills of these guards can already be regarded as "good", and what is even more valuable is that each has its own specialties. It seems that Haixin has indeed carefully selected some talents. Of course, the cost of their missions is not cheap.

For this mission, Allen had to pay them a salary of 50,000 yuan, of which Barney took 20,000 yuan alone, and the rest were shared equally among the four. This is not counting the consumption of other equipment and ammunition and the expenses during the mission. On the last page of the information, it is a payment bill. Looking at the figures on the bill, Allen suddenly felt that his federal bonus was not as much as he thought.

"So, have you found a guard for Allen?"

In the main building of the castle, in Horn's study, Heixing briefly reported the situation of Alan to the patriarch.

"Yes, master, this is the guard's information." The old butler also handed Horn the same document.

Horn scanned it, nodded and said, "It's enough to deal with a black group with this kind of strength. You've done a good job, Mr. Haixin."

"That's okay, I'll go down first."

After the butler left, Horn raised his head and thought for a while: "Anna, you can go too. But you must not do anything, after all, this is Allen's own war."

In the shadow beside the window behind him, the air twisted unnaturally, and a slender figure gradually appeared, and then a slightly hoarse female voice sounded: "Of course, master, I will take care of Master Allen."

Horn nodded, as for how Anna judged the limit of "absolutely impossible", it was not a question for him to consider.

At breakfast on the third day, a Harrier Eagle frigate directly pulled Allen and his team to Port Statue of Liberty. After 30 minutes, the Azur Sky traffic ship will depart from Port Goddess and fly to Area 13 on the surface. Allen and others entered the waiting room through the green channel opened for the children of the family. Just as they sat down, two familiar voices sounded from behind their heads.

"Alan!"

"Little elk."
