No matter how the world changes, the Plain of Silent Fire remains the same.
The wind occasionally blows, 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 tumbling in his mind was not only what Zhao Jundu said, but also the past events, which only belonged to his memory.
Thinking about it now, Qianye already had a vague premonition of something after learning from Song Zining that his scars were the result of force plunder. His survival in such a taboo event cannot be explained by coincidence or luck.
.
So, in fact, Qianye didn't want to know the answer at all. He couldn't think of anything other than more conspiracy and death, pain and blood.
Qianye has never been so eager to return to the Evernight Continent as he is at this moment. At least there is his little nest there and there are people waiting for him to return. That is a real thing.
It wasn't until Gouzhao Town was in sight that he realized that a day and a night had passed.
The small town of Dog Paw is still so simple, and the master is still busy in his shabby shop. No one will associate this small shop in a deserted area with that extremely powerful 'bullet'
Together.
When Qianye pushed the door open, the master was processing something on the semi-manual and semi-automatic machine. Until Qianye stood behind him, the master was still unaware.
What was processed on the machine was an extremely delicate silver piece, only the size of a fingernail, and it was full of hollow patterns. Qianye finally recognized that it was a part of a bullet. The machine tool used by the master was a big one, but there was no
The thought of being able to machine 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 raw materials."
The master wiped the piece of silver as thin as a cicada's wings, looked at the lines on it carefully with the force lamp, and said slowly: "I only owe Bearded Lao Dao a favor, the bullet from last time has been
Returned."
"I understand." After Qianye saw the astonishing changes 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 Vampire Byrne clan."
The master nodded and said: "That's about right. My old man's hard work is only so-so when used on a viscount. Take out your materials and show me."
Qianye took out two small boxes. One contained two small pieces of mithril the size of fingernails exchanged from the tulip market, and the other contained four blood-sucking fangs.
The master glanced at the 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 Vampire Viscount. This thing can also be made into bullets, but it only has special effects on creatures of the dawn. It will be worse when used on dark races."
Much more."
The master put away the materials, took out two finished mithril bullets, and handed them to Qianye. Not counting the materials this time, the crafting fee alone would cost four hundred gold coins each. This is the real price of the 'bullets'.
Qianye only stayed in Dog Claw Town for half a day before boarding a smuggling airship back to the empire. Once the special force bomb made by the master using vampire fangs is completed, it will be delivered through Bearded Lao Dao.
The airship shuttled through the void, then crossed the empire's mainland. After several more flights, Qianye returned to Black Current City.
The war is indeed over. Soldiers wearing the emblem of the empire's main army can still be seen in Weiyang City, and normal order has been completely restored in Blackstream City.
Although there are still many traces of the battle outside the city, thanks to Wei Bainian's defensive strategy, the dark race did not launch a large-scale attack on Blackstream City. Therefore, as soon as the dark race retreated, Blackstream City immediately recovered.
vitality.
After entering Blackstream City, the first place Qianye went was the Dark Fire Mercenary Group. When he approached the station, he almost couldn't recognize the extremely lively place in front of him.
The Dark Fire Mercenary Group originally occupied an abandoned factory in the corner of the city as their base. It was a large area, but there were not many places to use it, making it appear very empty. But now Qianye saw a very noisy large construction site.
Several large construction machinery are digging deep trenches. In the completed trench section, a heavy-duty crane is hoisting a steel pipe as thick as an ancient tree and slowly lowering it into the trench.
Qianye couldn't help being surprised. There was a pattern of a power tower engraved on the steel pipe. It was obvious that an energy pipeline specifically for transporting power steam was being laid in the station. This was no small project, and only professional large-scale military camps needed this kind of energy transmission.
pipeline.
He looked around again. Also under construction on the construction site were barracks, a fortress-like compound wall, and two guard towers. Looking at the scale of the project, the completed garrison could barely accommodate a division.
Although Qianye also has unavoidable ambitions for the future of the Dark Fire Mercenary Group, at least it has not expanded 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 unfamiliar-looking mercenaries. It seemed that the business was only half over.
The leaders of the other mercenary groups greeted Qianye and left. Qianye then pointed at the large construction site in front of him and asked, "What's going on?"
Song Hu said in an understatement: "It's just to speed up development."
Of course Qianye knew that this was accelerating development, but the problem was that it was developing too fast.
It turns out that the Dark Fire Mercenary Group also suffered some losses in the war, but the accumulated military exploits in those two battles were able to receive huge rewards, and they were not deducted much by the expeditionary army headquarters. Wei Bainian would not intercept them like other generals of the expeditionary army.
.
So after the money was released, Song Hu began to expand without hesitation. Currently, the number of the mercenary group has expanded to 2,000, and the camp was built according to the specifications of a reorganized light-armored division.
The several mercenary leaders who came with Song Hu just now are the leaders of two nearby cities whose defenses were breached in the war, as well as the original mercenary groups in Heiliu City. Song Hu is in contact with them, preparing to annex them together, and officially
Make up 3,000 people.
However, no matter how generous the imperial reward was, it was never as high as this. Song Hu not only spent all the reward money, but also borrowed all the money he could. Therefore, the debt on Qianye's head now has reached
A huge amount of fifty thousand!
Qianye didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing Qianye's ugly face, Song Hu comforted him: "Master Qianye, don't worry, we still have some money in our account, which is enough to pay for the next two months of military pay."
Qianye took a deep breath. He is not worried about debts now. Although there are not many rare materials obtained from the Andua space, the estimated price of a ball of high-purity solid mithril is 30,000, so he has been troubled in the past.
His funding is no longer a problem.
But, isn't Song Hu's move too risky? If he doesn't come back, or doesn't get the harvest from the Anduya space, what will happen in two months? Should he disband the mercenary group?
Before Qianye could think of words, Song Hu took out a letter from his arms, handed it over, and said, "This is a letter from Master Zining. I specifically asked him to deliver it directly to you."
Qianye was slightly startled, and suddenly remembered that he and Song Zining still had an account 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 immediately shocked. Even when he was on the line between life and death at the Huangquan training camp, Song Zining had never been so out of his mind!
He immediately asked: "When did this letter arrive?"
Song Hu was surprised when he saw Qianye's expression was wrong, and said: "It's only been two days. Master Zining's messenger said that you should come back around this time, so I didn't go outside and waited for you in the camp.
."
Qianye listened and hurriedly scanned down. The letter did not mention the cause of 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 together and crushed the letter into pieces, and said with a gloomy look on his face: "Help me book the nearest aeroboat. I'm going to Jicheng in Qinghe County. You are still fully responsible for this. Other matters are also
Forget it, the expansion will be like this for the time being, and we will talk about it when I come back."
In the following time, Qianye was extremely busy and never stopped for a moment. He first went to see Wei Bainian to learn about the latest situation in Yongye Continent, and he also brought back a bunch of newspapers, but he didn’t have time to read them carefully. He could only browse a few
title.
Then Qianye went to the underground trading channel and sold the mithril that failed to be sold at Zhao Clan Xinglong Trading Company, which was used as funds for the mercenary group.
When Song Hu suddenly saw such a large amount of money, his eyes suddenly became different. Unfortunately, Qianye had already issued an order to restrict his further expansion. Otherwise, with such an extra sum of money, when Qianye came back, his head would be
The debt will definitely increase instead of decreasing.
Of course, Qianye did not forget the news of arranging people to secretly visit Lu Jianan in the Black Ni Town of the Great Swamp. Finally, when he returned to his residence at night, he was warmly welcomed by Ah Qi and Ah Jiu. Only then did Qianye remember that in the blink of an eye,
Several months have passed and they need to drink their own blood.
Thinking of the origins of these sisters, Qianye was even more worried about Song Zining's situation. That guy dared to trade with the rebels, and his trading point was taken away from the Zhao family's territory. Now he doesn't know what happened to him.
But what troubles could Qianye solve for him?
After a night of turmoil and passion, when Qianye woke up in the lightless morning of Yongye Continent, Ah Jiu was still curled up next to him, but Ah Qi had already gotten up, and there was the sound of her very light footsteps and the sound of preparing to wash up.
The sound of washing water.
Qianye pulled the thin blanket to cover Ah Jiu's body, and then walked out of the room silently. Busy Ah Qi happened to turn around and saw Qianye, with a smile full of joy on her reddish face.
Qianye smiled and rubbed the top of her head, took the neatly stacked clothes on a chair and began to put them on.
This is how the bonds are formed layer by layer. Some are what he wants, some are not his true intentions, some are his responsibilities, and some are what he decided to take on. In a world where he doesn't know if there will be a tomorrow, Qian Qian
At night, I feel more and more strongly that I want to build a small paradise on my own, a place that can protect people around me from the wind and rain.
In the morning, the first ray of skylight shone on the airship landing field outside Heiliu City, and Qianye boarded the airship heading for Jicheng.
His destination is located in Qinghe County, the hinterland of the human race. There are few wars, and even the Yongye War has not been affected. That is the real headquarters of the Ningyuan Group in Yongye.
