Section 86 Two things
Chapter 86 Two Things
When Xue Tong returned to the t6 branch, half a day had passed. After walking down the space shuttle, Jack's portable intelligence brain rang. Jack took it out and took a look, and said to Xue Tong.
"Mr. Hensel is back."
"Well, I'll go there now." Xue Tong nodded and reached out to stop a speed vehicle.
Five minutes later, he walked into Hensel's private space in T6 branch again. Just like last time, Xue Tong saw the well-behaved maid at the door.
"Mr. Hensel is waiting for you. Please come in." The maid saluted respectfully, and then opened the door for the Blood Eyes.
When he walked into the room, Xue Tong immediately saw the familiar and generous back. Hensel was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back facing him, raising his upper body. His muscles, like steel-like muscles, emitted endless evil spirits, just like a demon god from hell.
Perhaps he had just finished his mission, and Hensel's evil spirit had not disappeared at this moment. As soon as his blood pupil walked into the door, he felt a strong smell of blood coming to his face, which made him feel a trembling.
"grown ups."
"You're back." Hensel didn't look back, but just responded lightly. "Sit down."
"yes."
"Have you been to the Sixth World? How about it?"
"Not bad, sir."
"Just good?"
"Well... it's very good. Adults. Compared with x35, it's heaven. But... I always feel that something is missing..."
"The smell of blood is missing..." Hensel suddenly said.
Blood Eyes were slightly shocked, but in a flash, he thought it was indeed the case. He had struggled to survive at x35 since he was a child. He was used to killing and blood, chaos and violence. He suddenly entered the peaceful sixth world and was not very used to it. Hensel's words woke him up directly.
He sighed secretly, Xue Tong knew that he could no longer adapt to ordinary life. He was like a bloodthirsty monster, only restless in a peaceful environment, and only the smell of blood could calm him down.
Hensel didn't speak, but just looked at Xue Tong quietly. He knew that every mercenary had to go through this level, and only those who adapted could survive. Otherwise, if he was either killed soon, or he would be disheartened and retired early.
Zero and Heng are people who are difficult to adapt to, but in the end... they died...
But to Hensel's surprise, Xue Tong had no process of adapting at all, and in just a moment he returned to his usual indifference. Hensel's heart was slightly slight. Finally, he turned around and glanced at Xue Tong.
In fact, the reason why Hensel arranged for Xue Tong to go to the Sixth World this time was a test. After all, Xue Tong was recommended by Ling Heheng, and he knew nothing about Xue Tong's own abilities. The last mission proved Xue Tong's strength, but this time it was a test of Xue Tong's nature to see if he had the potential to become a cosmic mercenary.
But to Hensel's surprise, the blood pupil was very adaptable. Although he was just silent, Hensel could almost feel the smell of blood in him, just like himself.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and Hensel showed an ugly smile. With a move, a box on the table opened automatically, a cigar flew to his hand, and a flame appeared on his fingertips.
Hensel lit the cigar and took a deep breath, then snarled at the Blood Eye. "Come on one?"
"Okay." Xue Tong was not polite and lit a cigar for himself. The mellow and rich cigar entered his lungs, giving him a feeling of unreality.
Hensel opened the wine rack, took out a bottle of finely packed whiskey from it, poured a glass of himself and his blood pupils. He took a sip of it as the clouds swayed, then narrowed his eyes and said.
"Two things..."
"Yes, sir."
"The first thing, I have arranged for you for your next mission. It is an e-class escort mission. It escorts a transport ship to the T26 planet in the Seventh World. The mission process is not long and there is not much trouble. But it is a certain danger. According to the information, some star pirates have already targeted it. So this mission is not a single-player mission, and there will be a few more people joining."
"I understand." Xue Tong said with a calm expression.
After this period, he knew that although ordinary vassals also had the power to accept tasks alone, they would not accept tasks very well. Not only did the tasks be complicated, but they received less salary. Although the two tasks arranged for him looked inconspicuous, they were all simple and straightforward combat tasks. The rewards for such tasks have always been very high. Moreover, this time it was a team task, which was very helpful for the development of Blood Pupils. It can be seen that Hessel was cultivating him.
However, the blood pupils are not good at expressing themselves and are still as cold as before on the surface.
Hensel knew Xue Tong's personality and didn't mind. He just smoked a cigar on his own. After a while, he raised his head and looked straight into Xue Tong's eyes.
"The second thing...is related to you."
"What's the matter?" Xue Tong was a little surprised. He couldn't imagine that there was anything that could be related to him in the mercenary branch. In fact, he just arrived here and didn't even know a few people, so what could be involved in him?
But Hensel's next words shocked his mind.
"About the x35 planet. The branch received information and the x35 planet was a little uneasy during this period. A new mutant power has emerged. It has occupied a large area of territory and killed three lords. The biggest difference between this group of mutant powers is that they have a clear leader, strict discipline and detailed organization. It is said that their leader is a red-haired woman."
Speaking of this, Hensel glanced at Xue Tong with a smile. "I remember when I first met you, there was also a red-haired woman."
It's Li'er!!
Xue Tong shouted in his heart. Although he didn't know where the mercenary branch got this information, according to the information description, Li'er must be right. He didn't expect to get her news so soon. Xue Tong was a little excited.
But he knew that things might not be that simple, and he still asked excitedly. "Sir, what do you mean is that the mercenary branch is ready to intervene? Are you planning to send a mission?"
"No, that's not." Hensel's words made Xue Tong feel a little relieved. "x35 is an abandoned planet. How valuable do you think it is there? The mercenary branch is not idle enough to mess around. Unless the lord of the planet x35 issues an application, the branch will not pay attention to it. He only knows that this matter is related to you, so he writes down the information."
Then Hensel took a sip of whiskey and lowered his brow. "But I know that if we continue according to this situation, there will be no time left before the local lord's mission application. This little girl is playing with fire... She doesn't know that her behavior has threatened the stability of x35 and the rule of the lord?"
"Even if there is... she is forced." Xue Tong suddenly blurted out this sentence for some reason.
Hensel glanced at him with some surprise. "It seems that you were a little touched in the last mission..."
"..." Xue Tong did not speak, but agreed to Hensel's statement.
Hensel shrugged his shoulders indifferently and continued to taste the whiskey. After a while, he said inadvertently. "Some things are better to have too many opinions. You must remember that you are just a mercenary. The tradition of mercenary is to only ask about tasks, not right or wrong."
"..." Xue Tong was silent for a while, and finally nodded. "Yes, sir."
"But..." Hensel changed his tone and showed his familiar ugly smile. "The mercenaries also have their own tempers, and it is natural to make small mistakes in some things. Well, I've recorded it. If the x35 planet releases mission, I will help you stare."
"Hmm!?Really?" Xue Tong suddenly looked up, with a surprised look in his eyes. "Thank you sir."
"Haha... It seems that it is not easy to get you thank you. You always have to do something foul. Fortunately, this is just the rule of the mercenary branch, not my rule. But I want to remind you that I don't care about your thoughts, but I have to bear the consequences of the failure of the mission. I, Hensel, are not interested in wiping your butt."
"I understand." Xue Tong replied happily.
Hensel's words are clearly revealed. How can Xue Tong not accept the favor? As for the punishment for the failure of the mission, although Hensel said casually, Xue Tong knew that he must accept joint and several liability. Otherwise, why did he not accept mercenary missions for a long time, and he went to the mission if Ling and Hengyi failed? Xue Tong didn't know the twists and turns in it now, but it was definitely not that simple.
"Okay!" After explaining these things, Hensel was very happy. He said to Xue Tong.
"Originally, I should have taken you to carry out a few missions when you become my vassal. But now I can't get rid of some troubles. I can only let you do it first. Fortunately, I checked the information on this mission. The other party's strength will not be too strong, so there should be no problem for you. Now there is still some time before the mission is released, so you should strengthen yourself. As for the star coins you need, just talk."
"Yes, sir." Xue Tong stood up and replied. Then she smiled. "I will seize the time. As for the star coins, I have made some money this time, which should be enough."
"Oh, by the way. I forgot that you made a lot this time, more than 500 star coins, and the key is that there are still 100 contribution points. You are lucky, and you caught up with the big deal for the first time. I am also worried that if you fail the task, it will not be a problem with this 100 contribution points." Hensel also opened his mouth and laughed.
According to the mercenary rules, one hundred contribution points are enough to offset the failure penalty of two e-level tasks.
Next, Xue Tong bid farewell to Hensel and went directly to the training institution of the Mercenary Branch. This time he planned to strengthen it and buy some ability potions.
Xue Tong felt that it was time for him to strengthen his abilities...
