It was still the aristocratic room in the middle ages. With the support of holographic projection technology, the flame in the fireplace kept changing and flickering as if it were real. If you observe with a precise instrument, you will find that the law and angle of the flame shaking are all the same.
When he walked into the room, the old man named Hades was looking at the light screen in front of him and continuously giving instructions. Every order is related to a huge transaction. After all, there are not many affairs that Hades needs to handle personally, but it is the most important. He suspects that Hades should be that person. Although the Central Continent is extremely vast, the area of human civilization is very limited.
Even for giants like the Dark Council and the Hall of Valor, the area they occupy is almost negligibly small compared to the entire continent.
And the area where the dark merchants are active is limited to the coastline area and a few cities in the interior. To be honest, if Hades wasn't that person, it would be hard for him to imagine why the dark businessman was operating under the eyes of the two giants.
The Dark Council turned a blind eye, and the Hall of Valor also turned a blind eye. Judging from the attitudes of these two giants, he believed that what he expected was right. But in the virtual world, he doesn't care about Hades' identity, as long as he can meet his own requirements, that's enough.
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, Mr. No. 5." Hades said without raising his head.
With Hades snapping his fingers, a leather chair appeared out of nowhere in the room. He was not polite, just sat on the leather chair. The so-called "sitting" is nothing more than an idea. The real person is thousands of miles away, and there is not much difference between standing and sitting. But even in the virtual world, there are not many people who can sit in front of Hades. It's just a simple movement, but it fully embodies the respect that matches his identity.
Satisfied, he made himself sit in a more comfortable position: "I need something."
"tell me the story."
Hades finally looked up.
"Virus biochemical weapons." He said straight to the point, beating around the bush would only waste each other's time: "I hope it's highly contagious, non-volatile and quick to act. I don't know if the dark merchant has such a thing."
"The dark merchant is omnipotent." Hades said indifferently, "Wait, I'll let someone find out what kind of biological and chemical weapons meet your requirements."
He made a "please" gesture and waited so quietly. Hades didn't make him wait long, and the people below had already found something that matched the requirements of the VIP in less than a minute.
"Black Widow M-103 virus, I think it meets the requirements you specified."
"I'd like to hear an introduction."
Hades looked at him and said blankly: "This is the latest virus of the Black Widow series. It is in gaseous state. Every 100 grams of gas mixed into the air can infect all creatures within a kilometer area. The virus carries The infected person will carry out secondary transmission through skin contact, oral foam, etc. The virus attack time limit is 12 hours, and if no antidote can be obtained within the time limit, the immune system will suffer irreversible damage. Its gene penetration is extremely strong, and only high Ability users of the first level can be immune, and ability users below the eighth level can only last a little longer than ordinary people in the virus outbreak area."
"Sounds good, I need 300 grams of this stuff, and the antidote."
"No problem, but it's worth a lot, I hope you have enough reputation points." While talking, Hades entered a line of numbers on the light screen on the table, and pushed the light screen towards VIP No. 5.
Glancing lightly at the light screen, he nodded and said, "It's fair, although it's a bit more expensive than I expected, but it does have that value."
"Then you confirm the purchase. The goods will be delivered to you in three days. No matter where you are, as long as you are on the Central Continent. If it is on other continents, we will charge an additional handling fee."
"No problem, but before that, I have a message to sell." He said lightly.
This time it was Hades' turn to be interested, and he asked, "I hope it's not news that wastes my time."
"In two months at most, Asgard will invest more military resources and equipment in the Western Conquest. More importantly, Doomhammer will also be invested in the conquest of the Western Land. At that time, Asgard will There are only three legions left. No, strictly speaking, it can only be counted as two, because for some reason, the dark blade is now excluded from Asgard's trust system." He spread his hands and said: "How , Even if you are not interested in this news, there will be people who are interested. For example, the one from the Dark Council, the great dark terror Lord Oglock."
"Whether Oglock is interested is not in my consideration. The dark merchant only considers value." Hades waved his hand, and the reputation points in front of No. 5 VIP changed rapidly. The set of negative numbers seen by VIP No. 5 turned into another set. The intelligence on behalf of VIP No. 5 not only saved him from the black widow's expenses, but also increased his income.
He was very satisfied with the result, so he stood up and said, "I will send the delivery address in an encrypted file later, and please deliver it on time in three days."
"The credibility of the Dark Merchant is beyond doubt."
Hades lowered his head again. He knew that the other party was about to start work, so he silently exited the virtual room. The terminal equipment thousands of miles away also popped up a "offline" prompt.
After authorizing and distributing the "Black Widow" virus needed by VIP No. 5, Hades linked his hands together, extracted a set of names from the database, and ordered the computer to connect. On that set of text, the words "Andre Alfred" were impressively written.
The connection progress bar was advancing rapidly, and after a while, a light screen on the wall of the room was turned on. In the light screen, Andre's bewitching purple hair was reflected. Andre was sinking himself into the back of the soft sofa, he looked towards the direction of the light screen and said lazily: "Dear Speaker, Mr. Oglock, what made you use the emergency channel to contact me, I hope it will be interesting thing."
"Of course it's interesting."
On the other side of the light screen, Oglock has shed Hades' disguise and appeared in Andre's eyes with his own appearance.
"Master of Asmo in Iceland, I want to buy a large number of three-generation magic soldiers. I want as many as I want!" Oglok said with a faint smile: "It has been quiet for a long time, and finally it is time to start a war with old friends."
"war?"
Andre seemed to be very interested in the news of Oglock, he jumped up and said: "In fact, we have developed the first generation of magic generals. The use of energy-gathering spar enables them to control greater power and energy, and in the gene In terms of stability, it is far superior to the three generations of magic soldiers. It is just that it has not yet entered the mass production stage. If you need it, you can place an order in advance, and I will deliver it within one month."
"One month is too long, and it sounds like this new weapon hasn't been used in actual combat. So I think that the third-generation magic soldiers that have been mass-produced and used in various battlefields are more suitable for my requirements."
"That's up to you." Andre said with a smile: "But I'm curious, with the strength of your Dark Council, as long as you dispatch the Scarlet Knights, there is no battlefield that can't be conquered, so why buy my magic soldiers. "
"The symbolism of the Scarlet Knight is too obvious, and now I need to create some opportunities. And this kind of battle cannot be directly involved in our side, and I am inconvenient to disclose the others. Then, please, Your Excellency Andre, can help me How many magic soldiers are provided?"
Putting up three fingers, Andre said directly: "Three thousand, you can ship at any time. If you need more, then give me time to produce."
"Three thousand? That's enough. Send me the bill. I hope we can have a good cooperation next time."
After all, Oglock turned off the communication light screen. He crossed his hands to support his chin, his sapphire-like eyes were burning with raging flames, and the speaker of the Dark Council said indifferently: "Ben, my old friend, we will meet soon."
------Dividing line------
On the evening of the third day, the convoy carrying Zero, Beyonce and others returned to Asgard. After driving through the long tunnel, the majestic capital under the sky created by the projection screen came into view again. Seeing this city where the dreams of millions of people were entrusted, Zero suddenly understood the feeling when Valkyrie brought him back from the wilderness that day.
The Julian Mountains are like a natural barrier, separating the inside and outside of the mountains into two completely different worlds.
If it weren't for the wilderness outside the mountains, living in Asgard for a long time would probably give birth to the illusion that the turbulent era has never come.
It's just that when they returned to Asgard this time, Zero and Beyonce, who were sitting in the command car, felt that the atmosphere in the city was obviously different from before they left. The scene outside the vehicle can be seen through the light screens on the walls on both sides of the command vehicle. Walking on the city streets at this moment, they can see various slogans hanging on the buildings on both sides of the street.
Slogans such as "We must win the West", "Let the aliens go back to their nests", or "The golden battle ax is invincible, and the Doomhammer is invincible" are everywhere. Moreover, the frequency of city defense troops on the streets is obviously much higher than before, and everyone is wearing full body clothes, and they look like they are facing a big enemy. It is really strange to see two people.
"What's going on here?" Beyoncé asked instantly.
Cacilio is just finishing up a small topic discussion with Kodd about the new tank system. During the past few days to Asgard, Kodd's enthusiasm for research on machinery and weapons was completely overwhelmed by Beyonce's car. inspired. The material and the operating system of the command vehicle had an unparalleled impact on Kodd, but what is rare is that Cacilio, who usually does not talk much, showed considerable knowledge. Can answer fluently.
After going back and forth, the two became acquainted like friends for many years.
Hearing Beyoncé's question this time, Cacilio replied again: "During the time you were away, two major events happened in Asgard."
"The first one is about the Lambston family. The head of the family, Meblos, and his son Charles Qiqi were killed. The murderer is currently suspected to be Braden, the brother of Meblos, but the location of the incident is extremely remote and lacks As for the witnesses and physical evidence, if it wasn’t for the upper-class nobles who died, those guys from the City Defense Army would not have intervened in the investigation. However, judging from the progress I made before I left, it may not be so easy to find relevant evidence of Braden in a short time. And with Brandon's body, it is impossible to have the killer who killed his brother and nephew, so someone must be behind his back to help him." Cacilio simply analyzed: "After that, everything about Braden involved the second Two big things."
"That is about the military investment and personnel addition of the Western Expeditionary Army."
Beyonce nodded and said, "I've heard about this before I left. Doesn't Till's proposal need to be voted by the council? Normally, it's impossible for all the members to approve it."
"It should have been like this, but this time, the proposal was indeed passed. All members of parliament with voting rights, including Brydon, voted for it. Our people did not dare to veto it rashly when they saw that the situation was wrong. At the behest of them, they abstained from voting."
"You did the right thing, Uncle Kao." Beyoncé bit her finger, her eyes flashed with a strange light: "This is strange, according to you, the person who helped Braden kill Meblos behind the scenes , in order to induce Braden to vote for it. If that is the case...”
"That person is Tyr? God of War Tyr?" Zero asked in surprise.
"It's not certain yet, because the whole thing is too obvious. Others can easily guess from Braden's actions that Tyre did it. If Tyre really did it, he should have done it more covertly. But at the same time , and it cannot be denied that he has this suspicion. Lord Douglas is struggling with this issue. I heard that he has kept Till in his own home and cannot move around at will, and has sent someone to monitor him for 24 hours. The headquarters has already targeted this issue. We have set up a special investigation team and are considering combining the investigation into the murder of Meblos."
Cacilio emphasized: "However, the proposal has been passed. Regardless of whether Tire is suspected or not, the military investment of the Western Expeditionary Army has been put on the agenda, and the additional soldiers are the Legion of Doomhammer. So soon, you A mobilization order should be received."
The last sentence was spoken by Caxilio to Zero.
"Rules are rules. Even if Douglas is unwilling, he must abide by the rules he made!"
Cacilio concluded his speech with this sentence, and Beyonce looked at Zero, then looked at the old butler and said, "Do you know when they have to leave?"
"It will take two months at the earliest. After all, there are many things that need to be prepared, and the road is blocked by ice and snow. The road is impassable, and the transportation and supply of troops are big problems. What's more, before the expedition, Doomhammer should have a pre-war battle for its members. Training camp. That means, he will meet with that person.” Cacilio looked at Beyoncé and said, “I’ve heard something about you, and that person probably has heard about it too. So I think, for you or zero , miss, you seem to have to tell him about that."
