Chapter 23 The Dark Deal
Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, it started to get dark.
When the remaining sunlight was blocked by a distant upper continent, Qianye woke up on time, ate and drank enough, and then checked his physical condition. He got another little surprise, that is, most of the internal organs that had been damaged during the previous practice were
He recovered. It seems that the recovery ability of the vampire's constitution is indeed not very powerful.
In this way, Qianye will not have the biggest hidden danger in practicing the art of military attack, and he can advance bravely. Thirty times of the King of War level is obviously not his limit!
Qianye checked the light of dawn one last time, then walked out of the hiding place and ran towards Black Current City.
Blackstream City is still open at this moment. It still follows the custom of the middle and upper continents, not closing the city gate until midnight and opening it on time at six in the morning.
Blackstream City is not afraid of sneak attacks by the dark races. It is located in the hinterland of the human race gathering area. It is surrounded by more than a dozen villages and towns for protection. There are also thousands of expeditionary troops stationed in the city. It is only a few hundred kilometers away from the expeditionary army's legion fortress, so Blackstream City
The lord of the city followed the imperial customs and did not take the dark races seriously.
At this moment, Qianye already had a thick beard and his hair became a little yellow. He looked like a young scavenger. After paying fifty copper coins, he entered the city smoothly.
Like a real scavenger, Qianye found the cheapest hotel to stay in, and then began to observe Qi Yue's movements.
The Qi family is a prominent family in Heiliu City. The main figure is Qi Yue's father. He serves as a lieutenant colonel in a division of the expeditionary force, which is equivalent to the position of regiment leader. At the same time, Qi Yue's uncle is also a member of the Heiliu City.
financial officer.
With this dual background, the Qi family is already ranked among the top five families in Heiliu City. Moreover, Qi is a common surname, and the Qi family can be ranked among the second-rate families in the middle and upper-class continent of the empire. Of course, the Qi family in Heiliu City
It's just a small distant branch of the main vein.
Qianye has collected all the information about the Qi family.
Qi Yue himself is a second-level combat soldier. He practices the Thousand Earth Technique inherited from his family, which gives him extra physical bonuses. The disadvantage is that he lacks offensive power. Qi Yue's hobby is collecting original energy guns, and he also got a few of them.
Of course, given the strength of his second-level warriors, most of them were unable to exert their true power. Mr. Wang, who died at the hands of Qianye, was indeed Qi Yue's uncle and the director of the Qi family's peripheral business.
After Mr. Wang's death, Qi Yue was indeed much more cautious during this period. He always brought at least two guards with him when he came in and out. However, Qianye observed several times and found that there was only one third-level guard beside him, and the fourth-level guard was always with him.
It hasn't appeared before, I don't know where it went.
Qianye kept observing for three days without waiting for any good opportunity. However, Qianye was very patient. He once had a record of lying in one place for a week without moving in order to ambush a target. This kind of waiting was not considered at all.
What.
Late at night on the fourth day, Qianye suddenly saw a truck driving out of Qi Mansion and heading towards the city gate. This was an ordinary supply truck, usually used to pull some game food. However, when it came from in front of
As he drove by, Qianye smelled a different smell, and there was a strong smell of blood in the carriage.
There was someone in the car! And the scent of blood that Qianye had specially memorized showed that Qi Yue was among them.
Qianye lay still and waited for the truck to drive away before he walked out of his hiding place and followed the truck under the cover of darkness.
The truck arrived at the city gate. It was already closed, but I don't know what the people on the car negotiated with the gate guards. The steam engine pulling the gate roared again, and the heavy steel city gate slid open to both sides. The truck then left the city.
, disappeared into the night.
Qianye watched the truck go away. He did not go through the city gate. Instead, he chose a section of the city wall that was deserted, climbed all the way up, then climbed over and chased the truck in the direction it left. The view on the wasteland was very far, Qianye
Not afraid of being lost at all.
The truck drove about a hundred kilometers before stopping next to an abandoned power station.
Qi Yue and two other people jumped out of the carriage, waiting for something. One of them seemed to be a guard, and the other was an old man, but he only had first-level strength according to visual inspection. In a place like the wasteland, this strength could only barely protect himself.
Qianye hid thousands of meters away and quietly observed.
Although it was at night, he could still see clearly at this distance, and the effect was even better than using a night vision scope four times the size. The newly generated dark vision was more powerful than expected. Now within five hundred meters,
Qianye no longer needs a scope at all.
After nearly an hour, three figures emerged from the night, walking towards them like ghosts.
Qi Yue made a gesture, and the old man next to him walked to the truck, took a box from it, and stood behind Qi Yue. Qi Yue's guard unceremoniously picked up the force gun and pointed it towards the opposite side.
Those three people.
Qianye suddenly felt a vague blood energy fluctuation from those three people. They were vampires!
Qianye was shocked. He didn't expect that Qi Yue quietly left the city in the middle of the night and actually met with the vampires in private! Qi Yue is the young master of the Qi family, and according to Mr. Wang, there is another layer of hidden identity. He himself
Appearing here is probably a big deal.
Qianye no longer hesitated and immediately began to sneak around, slowly moving closer to the transaction site, wanting to listen to their conversation.
This sneaking went surprisingly smoothly. Qianye used the cover of the night and the terrain to sneak until he was fifty meters away before stopping his progress.
He was originally an expert in concealment and sneak attacks. Now after transforming into a vampire's physique, he has the cold-blooded characteristics of the vampire. His body temperature can be dropped to extremely low, and the infrared night vision of the vampire to detect life has no effect on Qianye. On the other hand, he
It can also control and converge the blood energy in the body, and use the Force to cover the blood energy to prevent it from leaking out. The human vampire vision reconnaissance sight is also ineffective against Qianye.
Although the three vampires were pointed at by force guns, they were not afraid.
One of the leading vampires said in an old voice: "You don't think you can threaten us with this broken gun, do you? Don't forget that when it comes to raw energy weapon technology, we, the descendants of the Holy Blood, are even better."
Qi Yue smiled and said: "It's just an added guarantee. Although this gun is not very good, it contains a mithril bullet. I spent a lot of money to get it. As long as it doesn't cost
As a last resort, I can’t afford to use it.”
The three vampires were all shocked, and one even took a step back.
The leader of the vampire said angrily: "You actually prepared mithril bullets! Are you insulting me?"
Facing three powerful vampires, Qi Yue did not panic at all and said calmly: "No! On the contrary, I am extremely sincere in the transaction. This mithril bullet is the testimony of my sincerity. I hope this transaction will be successful."
It can go smoothly, and I hope that future transactions can go smoothly. If my actions have offended you, then the benefits brought by the transaction should be sufficient compensation."
The attitudes of the three vampires have softened somewhat.
The leader of the vampires made a gesture, and a companion behind him took out a suitcase from under his cloak and walked to him. The suitcase was in a typical vampire style, with black as the main tone, polished with matte textures, and bronze patterns on the corners.
, the workmanship is extremely exquisite and luxurious, and the materials and craftsmanship alone are extremely rare. The value of the things that can be packed in this box can be imagined.
Qi Yue made a gesture, and the old man also walked up. The box he was holding was plain and simple. However, he was holding the box with both hands flat, and he was careful with every step he took, for fear of overturning.
"There is a special mechanism in this box. Once activated, it must remain absolutely horizontal. The mechanism will be automatically released after three hours. If within this time, its tilt exceeds five degrees, then...
..Bang!" Qi Yue made an explosive gesture.
The leading vampire glanced at Qi Yue and said coldly: "You are really careful."
Qi Yue smiled and said: "There is no way. When facing a powerful fourth-level vampire, you should be more careful. I just said that my purpose is to successfully complete the transaction."
The vampire old man snorted, but there was nothing he could do. As long as he picked up this specially adjusted box, he could not avoid the mithril bullets. And in order to prevent accidents within three hours, he had to leave as soon as possible. After all, he was in the wilderness.
Anything can happen.
Qi Yue's arrangement completely killed the vampire's idea of robbing goods.
Although this transaction is only the first in a series of transactions, in the eyes of most vampires, humans are still slaves and food from thousands of years ago. Whether you abide by the agreement often depends on your mood at the time.
This old vampire man was indeed prepared to kill people and rob goods if things didn't go his way before he came here. As for the transaction, just find another person. Human beings are huge in number, and there are more than one Qi family in Black Current City, and the Qi family is also
There is not only one young master named Qi Yue.
The vampire old man took the suitcase, carefully inspected it, and handed it to another companion behind him. Then he snorted heavily and turned around to leave.
It wasn't until the figures of the three vampires disappeared that Qi Yue let out a long breath. He seemed to have collapsed and suddenly broke out in a sweat.
Facing a fourth-level vampire, the pressure is unusually high. And past experience shows that if you want to make a deal with the dark race, you really have to be prepared to put your head on your belt. Every gold coin traded has a
The value matches the huge risk.
But when he took the suitcase into his hand, Qi Yue's eyes also showed eagerness. He carefully opened the suitcase and took a look, then closed the lid with satisfaction and said, "Let's go and get back before dawn."
The three men got into the truck and returned along the same route.
In the night, when the three vampires were running like ghosts, the leader of the old man suddenly stopped! The vampire holding the suitcase behind him couldn't stop his feet for a moment and almost bumped into his back. This surprise was no small matter, both of them were shocked.
Very frightened.
"Be careful! There are enemies, please guard the box!" The old man from the vampire clan ordered quickly and urgently.
Chapter completed!
