No matter how the world changes, Jihuohara remains the same.
Occasionally, the wind blew, rolling up a piece of fine red soil like jumping flames, just like Qianye's messy mood.
He walked forward almost mechanically, but what was churning in his mind was not only what Zhao Jundu had said, but also the past, which belonged only to his memory.
Thinking about it now, after Qianye learned from Song Zining that his scars were the result of plundering the original force, he had already had a vague premonition of something. He survived such a taboo event, which cannot be explained by coincidence and luck.
So, in fact, Qianye didn't want to know the answer at all. Apart from more conspiracy and death, pain and blood, he couldn't think of anything else.
Qianye has never been so eager to return to the Eternal Night Continent as at this moment, at least there is his nest there, and there are people waiting for him to go back, that is the real existence.
It wasn't until the town of Dog's Claw was far away that he realized that a day and a night had passed.
Dog's Claw Town is still so simple, and the master is still busy in his dilapidated shop. No one would associate this small shop in a deserted area with that extremely powerful "bullet".
When Qianye opened the door and entered, the master was processing something on the semi-manual and semi-automatic machine. Until Qianye stood behind him, the master still didn't notice it.
What is being processed on the machine is an extremely delicate silver piece, only the size of a fingernail, with hollow patterns all over it. Qianye finally recognized that it was a part of the bullet. The machine tools used by everyone are very expensive, but they did not expect to be able to process such precise parts.
After the silver pieces were processed, the master let out a sigh of relief, looked up at Qianye, and said, "You came here for the 'bullet' again, right?"
Qianye said respectfully: "That's right. I brought some necessary ingredients."
While wiping the piece of silver that was as thin as a cicada's wing, the master carefully inspected the lines on it with the Force Lamp, and said slowly: "I only owe the bearded old knife one favor. Pay it back."
"I understand." After Qianye saw the astonishing change after the bullet was fired, he knew that the price of the hundred gold coins was ridiculously cheap.
The master asked, "Where was that thing used last time?"
"A Viscount of the Bloodline Byrne Clan."
The master nodded and said, "That's about the same. My old man's painstaking work is considered so-so when used on a viscount. Show me your materials."
Qianye took out two small boxes, one contained two small pieces of fingernail-sized mithril exchanged from the tulip market, and the other contained four vampire fangs.
The master glanced at Mithril and said, "Well, it's enough to make three bullets."
He picked up the blood-sucking fang and looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "This is the fang of the Viscount of the blood race. This thing can also be made into bullets, but it only has special effects on creatures of the dawn, and it is worse when used on dark races." Much more."
Master put away the materials, took out two finished mithril bullets, and handed them to Qianye. This time the material is not counted, and the manual fee alone will cost 400 gold coins each, which is the real price of the "bullet".
Qianye only stayed in Dog Claw Town for half a day before boarding the smuggled airship back to the empire. After the special force bomb made by the master with vampire fangs is completed, it will be delivered through Beard Laodao.
The airship shuttled through the void, then crossed the mainland of the empire, and after several flights, Qianye returned to Heiliu City.
Sure enough, the war was over. In Weiyang City, you can still see soldiers wearing the logo of the main force of the empire. In Heiliu City, normal order has been completely restored.
Although there are still many traces of battles outside the city, thanks to Wei Bainian's defensive strategy of retreating, the dark race did not launch a large-scale attack on Heiliu City in the end. So as soon as the dark race retreated, Heiliu City immediately regained its vitality.
After entering Heiliu City, the first place Qianye went to was the Dark Flame Mercenary Group. When he approached the station, he almost couldn't recognize the bustling place in front of him.
The dark fire mercenary group originally set up an abandoned factory in the corner of the city as a resident. It has a large area, but there are not many places to use, which looks very empty. But now Qianye saw a very noisy large construction site.
Several large-scale construction machinery are digging deep trenches. In the completed trench section, a heavy-duty crane is hoisting a steel pipe as thick as an old tree and slowly lowering it into the trench.
Qianye couldn't help being surprised, the steel pipe was engraved with the pattern of the power tower, apparently an energy pipeline dedicated to transporting power steam was being laid in the resident. This is no small project, and only professional large-scale military camps need such energy transmission pipelines.
He looked around again. At the same time, there were barracks, a fortress-style composite wall, and two guard towers under construction on the construction site. Judging by the scale of the project, the garrison after completion can barely accommodate the next division.
Although Qianye has unavoidable ambitions for the future of the Darkfire Mercenary Corps, at least they haven't grown to this extent yet.
At this time, Song Hu got the news of Qianye's return and rushed over immediately. Behind him were a few mercenaries with unfamiliar faces, and it seemed that the business was only halfway through.
The leaders of the other mercenary groups greeted Qianye and left. Qianye then pointed to the large construction site in front of him and asked, "What's going on?"
Song Hu said casually: "It's just to speed up the development."
Of course Qianye knew that this was speeding up the development, but the problem was that the development was too fast.
It turns out that the Darkfire Mercenary Corps also suffered some losses in the war, but the military exploits accumulated in those two battles have been able to get huge rewards, and they have not been deducted much by the headquarters of the expeditionary army. .
So after the money was distributed, Song Hu unceremoniously began to expand aggressively. At present, the number of mercenary regiments has expanded to 2,000 people, and this camp was built according to the specifications of an integrated light-armored division.
The few mercenary leaders who came over with Song Hu just now are the two nearby cities that were breached during the war, and the leaders of the original mercenary regiment in Heiliu City. Make up three thousand people.
However, no matter how generous the imperial reward was, it was not so high. Song Hu not only spent all the bounty money, but also borrowed all the money he could. Therefore, the debt on Qianye's head now has reached 50,000!
Qianye didn't know what to say for a while.
Seeing Qianye's ugly face, Song Hu comforted him, "Lord Qianye, don't worry, we still have some money in our account, enough to pay for the next two months' military pay."
Qianye took a deep breath. He is not worried about debts now. Although there are not many rare materials obtained from Anduya's space, only a ball of high-purity solid mithril is estimated to be worth 30,000 yuan. His finances are no longer a problem.
However, Song Hu's move was too risky, right? If he didn't come back, or didn't get the harvest of Anduya's space, what would he do after two months, should he disband the mercenary group
Before Qianye could think of words, Song Hu took out a letter from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "This is a letter from Young Master Zining, and I have specially confessed that it will be delivered directly to you."
Qianye was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered that he and Song Zining still had a debt to settle. He took the letter and opened it, only to find that the first sentence at the beginning was, "Qianye save me!"
Qianye was taken aback immediately, even Song Zining had never lost his composure like this when he was on the verge of life and death in the Huangquan training camp!
He immediately asked, "When did this letter arrive?"
Song Hu saw that Qianye's face was not right, he was also taken aback, and said: "It's only been two days. Master Zining's messenger said that you should be back around this time, so I didn't go outside and waited for you in the camp .”
While listening, Qianye hurriedly swept down. The letter did not mention the reason for the danger, it only said that Song Zining was in Jicheng, Qinghe County, and asked Qianye to go see him immediately after receiving the letter.
Qianye rubbed his hands, crushed the letter, and said with a gloomy face: "Help me book the nearest airboat, I'm going to Jicheng in Qinghe County. You're still in charge here, and other things are up to you." Forget it, the expansion will be done for now, and I will talk about it when I come back."
In the following time, Qianye was extremely busy and did not stop for a moment. He first went to see Wei Bainian to learn about the latest situation in the Evernight Continent, and brought back a bunch of mansion newspapers, but he didn't have time to read them carefully, at most he browsed a headline.
Then Qianye went to find an underground trading channel, and sold the group of Mithril that failed to sell in the Xinglong Trading Company of the Zhao Faction, which was regarded as funds left for the mercenary group.
When Song Hu suddenly saw such a large sum of money, his eyes suddenly became different, but it was a pity that Qianye had already expressly restricted him from expanding. Otherwise, with such an extra principal, when Qianye returns, the debt on his head will definitely increase instead of decrease.
Of course, Qianye did not forget to arrange people to visit Lu Jian'an secretly in Heini Town in the Great Swamp. Finally, when he returned to his residence at night, he was warmly welcomed by Ah Qi and Ah Jiu. Months had passed and it was time for them to drink their own blood.
Thinking of the origin of the pair of sisters, Qianye was even more worried about Song Zining's situation. That guy even dared to trade with the rebels, and someone took away the trading point on the territory of the Zhao Clan. I don't know what happened to him now. However, what troubles could Qianye help him solve
After a night of turmoil and passion, when Qianye woke up in the dark morning of the Eternal Night Continent, Ah Jiu was still curled up beside him, but Ah Qi had already woken up. The sound of washing water.
Qianye pulled the thin blanket to cover Ah Jiu's naked body, then walked out of the room soundlessly. The busy Ah Qi just turned around and saw Qianye at a glance, with a joyful smile on her reddish face.
Qianye smiled and rubbed the top of her head, took the neatly stacked clothes from a chair and began to dress them.
The fetters are created layer by layer in this way, some are what he wants, some are not his original intention, some are his responsibility, and some are his decision to take on. In a world where there is no tomorrow, Qianye has a growing feeling that he wants to build a small paradise by himself, a place that can shelter people around him from wind and rain.
In the morning, the first ray of sky was cast on the airship take-off and landing field outside Heiliu City, and Qianye boarded the airship heading for Jicheng.
His destination is located in Qinghe County, in the hinterland of the human border, there are few wars, and even this Eternal Night War has not been affected. That's where Ningyuan Group's real headquarters in Yongye is located.
