The agreement was reached quickly, and each division promised to send the manpower within a week. This is equivalent to paying Qianye a sum of protection money. The price seems to be very high, but compared to the annihilation of the entire army in the defense area, it is nothing at all.
But the more protection money received, the greater the responsibility of Qianye. If you can't withstand the attack of the dark race, then everything will stop.
Sending off these officers, Qianye received another special guest.
This is a man in his forties, not tall, fat in middle age, his belly is already very obvious. However, when he sat opposite him, Qianye felt a faint sense of danger. This feeling was stronger than when he faced many officers of the expeditionary force.
The middle-aged man sat down on the sofa, straightened his back stiffly, and subconsciously rubbed his hat with his hands on his knees, looking very embarrassed, like a small businessman who suddenly saw a big official.
Even Qianye couldn't help but admire his acting skills. If the Pupils of True Sight hadn't clearly reflected the obscure force fluctuations on his body, he would probably have been concealed from him, thinking he was an ordinary fat man with no skills.
Qianye waved his hand and asked Song Hu to go out as well, so that only he and the middle-aged fat man were left in the living room.
"Just tell me what you have to say. You don't need to act. I think no matter who you are from, you are at least an elder." That is to say, the man in front of him who came to see him as a small businessman is a warrior.
The middle-aged man took a deep look at Qianye, his eyes suddenly sharp as a knife, "Master Qianye really has good eyesight. But since he has seen my identity, he still dares to be in the same room with me, this kind of courage is also extraordinary .”
Qianye smiled slightly, "This has nothing to do with courage. I have killed many viscount elders in the past, and I will kill more in the future. I don't care if there is one more or one less."
The expression of the middle-aged man froze for a moment, then his aura suddenly faded away, and he returned to his appearance of a kind and fat man, "Well, I'm old, and I'm also burdened by a career and family, so I really don't dare to venture like young people. If you put it in five Years ago, it meant asking Lord Qianye for advice on what to say.”
Qianye smiled and did not answer. It's meaningless to talk about this kind of thing, and it's only by doing it that you can tell the difference.
The middle-aged man straightened his expression, and said: "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Caiguang. I am now a senior elder of Guisuo. I have just been transferred to Yongye. In the future, I will be in charge of the affairs of the six counties in the northwest region of the expeditionary force's sphere of influence. So this This time I came here specially to pay a visit to Sir Qianye, to see if there is a chance to serve him in the future."
He said these words in a tactful way. In fact, if Qianye hadn't shouted at him to break his disguise, who knows what other words he would have heard.
When Qianye heard the name Guisuo, his eyebrows twitched slightly. He reached out to pick up the teacup, took a sip, then glanced at Zhou Caiguang, and said, "Guinsuo? I heard that you have always been active in the West Land. Could it be that Yongye also has a branch?"
Zhou Caiguang said: "Xilu is the territory of the Zhao Clan, and the layout of Guisuo is like this. Yongye is the land of free development." A few words fully revealed the ambition of this middle-aged fat man.
Qianye said indifferently: "But there are many organizations like yours, and there are many organizations bigger than you. Even in Yongye, there are many organizations. At least they are familiar with the local situation. Why should I seek you?"
Zhou Caiguang said with a smile: "No matter how Guisuo is in the West Land, entering Eternal Night is a brand new situation. The forces you mentioned have existed for a long time, and may be stronger than us for a while, but there are inevitably various human relationships. Sometimes it is convenient to do things. But there are also many constraints, and it is even difficult for you to figure out who is standing behind them."
Qianye raised his eyebrows slightly, not expecting this unattractive fat man to have a good eloquence, the various forces in the Eternal Night Continent are intricate, and the biggest obstacle to alliances and cooperation is often mutual trust, because in some fields, economic interests are not all.
"I'm different. Yongye's Guinsoo is as clean as a newborn, and deserves more trust from you. Your dark fire is very powerful, but I heard it's not too long ago. I think we can cooperate in many places. The days are long You will know that Guinsoke doesn’t just kill people. That’s why I chose to come to see you first. In addition, I have prepared something for you to have a look at first.”
With that said, Zhou Caiguang took out an envelope and handed it over. Qianye opened it and saw that inside it was a certificate, which listed many properties used as collateral. To Qianye's surprise, the signature of this certificate was actually Wei Potian.
Zhou Caiguang stared at Qianye, taking every trace of his expression into his eyes, and said with a smile: "Look, this is enough to show my sincerity. The properties on the list are all mortgaged to Wei Shizi. If there is any future cooperation between us Whatever the problem, with the relationship between you and Wei Shizi, you can take these things as compensation at any time."
At this point, Qianye couldn't help admiring the fat man's methods. Now it seems that Zhou Caiguang probably didn't know that Qianye and Guinsuo had a feud, and it was entirely out of consideration for business development that he chose the secret weapon among the many divisions of the expeditionary army. fire. And in order to facilitate this matter, he went to Wei Potian to endorse his reputation, that is to say, Zhou Caiguang has put in a lot of effort to understand the background of Dark Fire and Qianye.
Qianye pondered for a while, then asked, "What can you give me?"
"We can start with the simplest ones, such as intelligence. Darkfire pays a monthly fee, and we provide general information on a regular basis. I guarantee you will see something that you can't see elsewhere, but you must be interested thing."
Qianye smiled. This is customized service. It seems that Zhou Caiguang really has the sincerity to win the dark market.
Zhou Caiguang took out a thin document and handed it over. There are only a few pages, and it is divided into several columns, which are world events, empire dynamics, and eternal night events. Several to a dozen pieces of news were recorded in each level, including even the movements of two imperial families. Each message is only about a hundred words, and a few sentences introduce the matter.
Qianye took it and flipped through it, Zhou Caiguang said on the side: "You have opened up such a situation at such a young age, and after you break through to become a general, your future will be even more limitless, so these things you have now are indispensable. Think No matter how big a thing you want to do, you need a big vision.”
Qianye put down the briefing and said, "This thing seems to be simpler."
Zhou Caiguang smiled and said: "This is just an entry-level briefing, one hundred gold coins per month. If you need it, there are two more advanced briefings. The price is different, more than ten times more expensive. If you We can also provide a more in-depth investigation report if we are particularly interested in it. As for Guisoo’s old business, it is also within the scope of our business.”
The so-called old business is killing people. In fact, assassination is considered Guisuo's real business. Fatty Zhou is quite interesting because he focuses on news.
Qianye nodded, and put down the briefing in his hand, "That's fine, just keep this one. You can leave a contact information, and I will contact you if necessary in the future."
Zhou Caiguang stretched out his fat hand and said with a smile, "It's my honor to be able to serve you."
Qianye stretched out his hand to shake Zhou Caiguang, and suddenly felt a terrifying force coming from his hand. If he didn't resist, even fine steel could be crushed. This seemingly friendly fat man finally couldn't help but test Qianye's strength.
Qianye's whole body was running with the original force, and the force suddenly increased in his hands. The surging original force superimposed the powerful force of the blood physique, and surged out!
In the living room, thunder suddenly sounded out of thin air, Zhou Caiguang's face turned pale instantly, sweat rolled down his forehead, and his whole body was trembling. The original force he attacked collided with Qianye's original force, and it turned backwards.
Seeing that Zhou Caiguang couldn't hold on anymore, Qianye slowly withdrew his original force and let go. Zhou Caiguang's right hand swelled rapidly, and a blue-purple handprint on it was extremely clear.
Zhou Caiguang tried to move his fingers, but his face turned pale from the pain, and he gasped. Fortunately, he could still move each finger. It was obvious that Qianye was merciful and didn't want to crush his bones.
Zhou Caiguang couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Lord Qianye's strength is really amazing. Although I didn't live up to it, I didn't pay attention to ordinary tenth-level fighters anyway, but I never thought that I wouldn't be able to survive even a few minutes under the hands of Master Qianye." When your original force moves, the void produces thunder, this kind of realm, not even a general can have it."
Having said that, Zhou Caiguang couldn't help but ask, "When do you plan to advance to the rank of general?"
"Don't worry." Qianye didn't think it was necessary for him to answer this question.
Zhou Caiguang also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he bowed slightly, left his contact information, and left.
In the next few days, people like Zhou Caiguang came to visit one after another, in various forms and in an endless stream. This actually means that after Dark Fire annexed the Seventh Division, a series of vigorous measures and the Western Expedition finally showed results, and it was gradually recognized by Yong Ye's staff. Only then did they truly gain a firm foothold.
Among the people who came, there were people like the Guisuo organization who asked for cooperation, and there were also aristocratic families and some forces with ambiguous backgrounds who wanted to expand their business in Heiliu City. Eyes, opening the mouth is to ask Qianye to return, and it still has an expression of giving you a great favor.
Qianye didn't bother to pay attention to such people at all, so he was dragged out and beaten up, and thrown outside Heiliu City. As for shouts like "You will definitely regret it" and "You can't afford to offend the people behind me", even the dark fire fighters can only treat it as a dog barking.
Once or twice was fine, but after similar incidents happened many times, Qianye realized that not everyone was well-informed and knew how to handle affairs.
Looking back now, if he hadn't relied on Song Zining and Zhao Yuying's channels, he would have known nothing about what happened outside the war zone. Qianye couldn't help but recall that when he was in the Hunter's House, the price of news was often more expensive than the task reward.
From this point of view, Zhou Caiguang's briefing is indeed important, at least he will not be ignorant of major events in the world. And another topic mentioned by Zhou Caiguang also made Qianye feel a little turbulent, and began to seriously consider the possibility of being promoted to the rank of warrior.
The warrior of the human race and the viscount of the dark race are both a threshold, a threshold that truly distinguishes the upper class from the lower class. No matter how strong Qianye is in battle, no matter how many generals he kills, if he doesn't break through a general for a day, the respect he gets will always be a little bit less meaningful.
The key to the promotion of the human race to be a warrior is nothing more than one sentence, gathering energy into a whirlpool. At the nine major nodes, let the original force condense to a certain extent and naturally turn into a whirlpool. In this way, the speed of absorbing the original force will increase exponentially, and the original force of the surrounding environment can also be induced to be used for oneself, and at the same time, the physical fitness can be improved to a certain extent.
To be promoted to a general is a process of overall promotion, this is a watershed, the difference between strength and weakness is like clouds and mud.
However, for the same generals, the size and purity of the original force vortex can vary greatly. The purer the original force, the closer it is to the original source, and the corresponding power and promotion potential will be greater. Ordinary warriors can condense their original force better than warriors, and this is why geniuses try to suppress levels and strive to purify their original force.
Thinking of this, Qianye remembered that Song Zining once said that the great families all have their own secret techniques to assist in the promotion of generals, which not only can greatly increase the chance of promotion, but the top-level methods can even increase the purity of the original force to a higher level.
The top-level training room that Qianye used in the Song Clan was one of them. The consumption was an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but he was a little curious about what the Zhao Clan's method was.
Now that the Iron Curtain has been completed, and a big war may break out at any time, Qianye is determined not to suppress the level, and advance to the promotion of the general. Perhaps this may slightly affect the achievements achieved in the future, but if he died in a bloody battle due to insufficient combat power, then what is the future
The constant stream of visitors finally subsided after several days of excitement, and Qianye had time to practice hard, so he began to prepare for the promotion of the general. The officers of Darkfire were all instructed not to bother him if there was anything urgent, and the daily operations were handed over to Song Hu and other senior officers.
On the second day of Qianye's practice behind closed doors, a small, inconspicuous airship flew to Heiliu City. It looks ordinary, but being able to safely reach Heiliu City under the Iron Curtain shows that it is extraordinary.
Under the iron curtain, not only the land beasts became violent, but also the fierce birds occupying the sky. All ordinary transport ships have been grounded, and only fleets escorted by warships dare to take off.
The airship landed on the take-off and landing field, the hatch opened, and the gangway was lowered, and an old man with a clear face walked out from the inside, his silver hair combed meticulously.
He was dressed in plain clothes with little to no embellishment. However, those who are really knowledgeable can see that the tailoring and fabric of this dress are made by masters, and every detail is impeccable. I'm afraid that just this suit of clothes is enough to buy a few houses in a backcountry like Heiliu City.
Behind the old man, followed by a handsome young man, and several other followers.
The old man glanced over like a falcon, and said indifferently: "Is this the black stream?"
"Yes, we have arrived." The young man next to him replied.
The old man was noncommittal about the city scene in front of him, and just said: "Since the place is right, let's go to Miss first."
