In the blink of an eye, three days later.
night.
Richard appeared on a relatively deserted street in Baishi City.
This street is considered the headquarters of the "Brothers of Steel". Most of the shops are run by the "Brothers of Steel" and there is basically no competition from others. Even if you really have the courage, you will be beaten out without mercy.
On the street, Richard stepped forward, making a "ta-da-da" sound of footsteps, and walked towards a tavern that looked a bit old. There was a crooked wooden sign hanging at the door of the tavern, with vague handwriting, and the word "Frank" could barely be made out.
Frank's Tavern!
It is said that this is where the "Brotherhood of Steel" first prospered.
Decades ago, the owner of Frank's Tavern founded the "Brotherhood of Steel" for unknown reasons, and in more than ten years, turned it into a gang that ordinary people could not underestimate.
After Frank died, the "Brotherhood of Steel" changed several leaders, each one better than the last, making the cause of the "Brotherhood of Steel" prosperous and eventually turned into an unshakable behemoth.
And this "Frank's Tavern" has become a sacred place of the "Brotherhood of Steel". Except for members of the "Brotherhood of Steel" and those invited, everyone else is prohibited from entering. Richard came here to prepare to hand over the last book of the Black Spirit Empire to the Brotherhood of Steel.
"Da da da… "
Richard walked to the door of the tavern, stretched out his hand to push the door open, and suddenly raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, through the gap in the wooden door, Richard could clearly hear the silence inside the tavern.
This is not normal!
"Frank's Tavern" is indeed a sacred place for members of the "Brotherhood of Steel", but out of a certain respect, they have never changed the purpose of this place - it is still a tavern.
In a tavern, noisy scenes are perfectly normal, but deathly silence is abnormal.
Richard took a deep breath and smelled the faint smell of blood floating through the crack in the door.
For a moment, Richard frowned deeply and felt wary, already having a bad premonition. He stretched out his hand and placed it on the door. With a sudden force, the wooden door opened with a "squeak" sound.
In an instant, the bloody atmosphere surged!
…
Time moves forward.
Night, Frank's Tavern.
In the tavern, the members of the Brotherhood of Steel were drinking and making noise. When they got excited, they took off their shirts, revealing their iron-like muscles.
Everyone is a muscle, which is the first requirement to join the Brothers of Steel.
The Steel Brothers have no shortage of people, so they have very high requirements for their members. Even if they don't have much knowledge, they must at least have a strong body and be worthy of the word "steel", so most of the members are strong men with explosive muscles.
In a sense, it is precisely because of this that the Brotherhood of Steel is able to fight hard and develop so rapidly.
As the drinkers continued to take off their shirts, they saw that the entire tavern was full of strong men, talking and laughing loudly, and a stream of sweat slowly dripped from their bodies and rolled down their backs. In this cold frosty night, with the heat of their bodies and the density of their people, the members of the Brotherhood of Steel made the entire tavern steamy like a bathroom.
It was steaming, with a bit of indescribable closeness and enthusiasm. If someone breaks in, they think they have entered some special place that cannot be described.
Compared with the many members drinking, the table at the back of the tavern was a bit special.
Four people were sitting at a table, discussing something, not drinking at all.
If you get closer, you can see that among the four people, one is Bucky and the other is Earle.
The third person was a 1.7-meter-tall man named Kilo. Compared with the rest of the people in the tavern, he looked a little thin. But even so, no one in the tavern dared to look down upon him. The members of the Brotherhood of Steel looked at him with respect and fear. Because he possesses the blood seed, he is one of the few extraordinary powers in the Brotherhood of Steel.
His position in the Brotherhood of Steel is chief thug, and he is usually the one who resolves any difficult issues. The reason why the other party is here today is mainly to make the transaction safe and prevent any accidents from happening.
The fourth person sitting around the table, named Feier, is a man in his forties. He looks ordinary and nothing special, but after contact, you will find that he is extremely calm, and his calmness is terrifying. Even if something shocking happens, there will be no expression on his face. It is precisely because of this calmness, calmness and thorough consideration that he became the third in command of the entire Brotherhood of Steel.
Although he is the third-in-command, given that the first-in-command leader has retired and the second-in-command deputy leader has given up many affairs due to poor health, he has a great possibility of becoming the next generation's top leader. In addition, he has indeed done many great things, making the members of the Brotherhood of Steel look at him with reverence.
There was a glass of water on the table. Third Phil picked it up and took a sip. He looked at Bucky and asked aloud: "Bucky, tell me again who is the person who is going to trade with us today." Condition."
"Yes, Brother Feier." Bucky, who was over two meters tall, nodded and was very respectful to Feier. He spoke quickly, "He is a student of White Rock Tower Academy like me. He should be a low-level talent and an auditor. At first, I got to know each other over a trivial matter, and there were some conflicts, but they were resolved later.
His swordsmanship is very strong, much stronger than mine. Although his body is not very strong, if he really fights with weapons, I doubt that I can survive under his hands for a minute.
in addition… "
After Bucky finished speaking in detail, Feier thought for a moment and asked, "So, he doesn't know magic? He's not a qualified wizard apprentice? If that's true, then why does he have so much money? Just this time For the commission, he took out ten high-quality crystal coins as a deposit! This is an absolutely generous sum, and those elite academies of White Rock Tower Academy may not be able to do this."
"Well..." Bucky frowned, "Actually, I'm curious too. Having said that, I know very little about him, and not many people in the college know much about him. He has been living outside the college and basically does not participate in the college's courses. , I don’t know what I’m busy with, it gives people a weird feeling.”
"Do you think the other party is... deliberately hiding his strength?" Feier said.
"This..." Bucky couldn't be sure.
"I hope the other party is hiding his strength." Feier narrowed his eyes, "There has always been a lack of extraordinary power in our gang. If the other party has extraordinary power but is deliberately hiding it, then we might as well use this transaction as an opportunity to try to win over him. . It’s good to be able to win over someone, but if you can’t win over someone, there’s no harm in it.”
"Forehead… "
"Kylo!"
"Brother Fehr, what should I do?" Kilo, the chief thug, looked at Fehr.
"When that kid comes to trade later, you can find a way to test the opponent. Don't go too far. Just test out part of the opponent's strength. Be careful not to get hurt. At the critical moment, I will come out to rescue and smooth things over."
"Understood." The chief thug named Kilo nodded and agreed.
"Earley." Feier looked at the members of the Steel Association who had notified Richard, and asked, "What did that kid say?"
"He promised to come today and didn't say much else."
"That's good." Feier nodded, looked at the door of the tavern, and said slowly, "Then just wait for the other party to arrive."
As soon as Feier finished speaking, the door opened with a creak.
