664 Laki's Origin, The Latent Malice(1/2)
After the Secret War began, the Black Star Army expanded its recruitment several times. The seedlings in the training camp matured and many free mercenaries were recruited. Now the Black Star Army has added a lot of fresh blood, and the number of official mercenaries has exceeded two
At the 100,000 mark, there are sufficient manpower stationed at Base One.
Three masked mages wearing dark hooded robes walked into the hall of Base No. 1, attracting the suspicious eyes of many mercenaries along the way. The Red Robe Hermitage is famous throughout the star field, and the forbidden witch of "Spell Master" Austin
The unit is very famous and can be recognized at a glance.
Why did the people from Austin visit the group leader? Many people knew that the group leader was a cadre of Dragon Seat. When they saw that Han Xiao was in contact with another Transcendent A Grade, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
…
The three forbidden wizards came to the reception room and when they saw Han Xiao, they all nodded and saluted.
Han Xiao waved his hand and told Silvia to go back to study, then looked at the three of them and asked doubtfully: "Forbidden witches of Austin, what do you want from me?"
The short forbidden wizard in the middle is the leader of the three, named Desolo. He briefly introduces himself, then gets straight to the point and expresses his intention:
"The curse master ordered us to find a person. He is your subordinate. We must take him back."
Han Xiao was stunned. This was beyond his expectation. He changed his mind and asked tentatively: "Are you talking about Lackey?"
Among the cadres, only Lackey has an unknown origin, and he is an A+ level mage, so he is most likely to be the target of the other party.
"Yes, his full name is Lucky Shiver, and he once worked under the spell master." Desolo's tone was indifferent, and his statement was ambiguous, as if he didn't want to reveal the details.
Han Xiao secretly marveled that Lackey had been imprisoned for ten years and no one came to rescue him. Now that he was out of trouble, Austin's people immediately came to find him.
Although I knew Austin wouldn't be such a thief, it did feel like picking peaches.
He thought about it again and felt that something was strange. If Lackey was Austin's subordinate, how could he be easily caught? Lackey seemed to be a lone ranger before he was caught. If this was true, it meant that he had already broken away from Austin's influence. Then
Why did Austin send someone to retrieve Lackey?
"What are you going to do with him?" Han Xiao asked.
Desolo shook his head and refused to answer, saying: "This is the curse master's order, we are just executing it."
"What if I refuse?" Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.
Desolo's tone was calm and unwavering, "The curse master said you owed him a favor and would give him face."
The corner of Han Xiao's mouth twitched, and his balls suddenly ached. He was willing to accept soft things rather than hard things. When the Overlords gathered, Austin gave him the core of the Void Lord for no reason. He really owed him a favor. There is no free gift in the world.
's lunch.
At this juncture, Han Xiao would be crazy to have a falling out with Austin, who has a good relationship with him. Besides, he once accepted gifts from others and used them to criticize others. It’s really hard for him to refuse. After all, the connections are mutual. I’ll help.
I have given you one, and you must help me as much as you can in the future, otherwise it will be easy to ruin the py relationship that was finally established.
However, Han Xiao is still a little reluctant to part with him. Lackey is the second most powerful force in the Black Star Legion, second only to him. If he leaves, the high-level combat power of the Legion will drop significantly.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Han Xiao thought about it, thought of an excuse, and said: "It's actually pointless for us to discuss his whereabouts here. I think I need to ask his opinion. If he is willing to go back with you, I will naturally
You can't force him to stay. If he doesn't want to leave, there's nothing we can do."
"Okay." Desolo nodded, his eyes lowered, and he had no objection.
In fact, when he was on the road, Desolo had imagined various situations. If Black Star found various excuses to obstruct it and did not even give Austin face, he would not object to using force to take Lackey away.
Unexpectedly, Black Star suddenly became popular during this period, became a Transcendent A Grade seed, and spread the story of one against eight, which shocked him.
Desolo thought that he could not achieve such a deed, and could not help but be afraid. Black Star had shown the potential of Transcendent A Grade. Although he had Austin as his backer, he could not be at odds with Black Star, so he gave up the idea of using force.
That's why I'm so easy to talk to now.
Han Xiao sent a message to Lackey. After a while, Lackey pushed the door open and complained at the same time.
"Is there any dangerous mission again? Let me tell you, you are exploiting me, and I will die for you sooner or later... Huh?!"
When Lackey entered the door, he saw three forbidden witches at a glance. His complaints stopped abruptly, his expression suddenly fell, and he murmured to himself:
"No wonder my mind kept wandering while meditating yesterday. Something bad happened today. Alas."
"Long time no see, Lackey." Desolo's eyes flashed with a cold light and his tone was indifferent.
"Can you pretend you didn't see me?"
Lackey looked bitter.
"What do you think?" Desolo snorted.
Lackey had no choice but to look at Han Xiao, his eyes looking as sad as possible. It felt like he was happily attending a banquet today, but was thrown a cup into his mouth and met with a three-hundred-swordsman.
Han Xiao's eyes twitched, "Don't look at me like that. They came here themselves and said they wanted to take you back. It turns out that you used to be Austin's subordinate. Why didn't you tell me? I'm quite familiar with him."
Lackey looked annoyed, "How do I know that you actually know Austin..."
Being once a subordinate of Austin is an amazing resume, and it is superior to most forces. Lackey did not tell Han Xiao because he wanted to be a low-key salted fish. Moreover, he felt that Black Star and Austin
There should be no intersection, but he didn't expect that Han Xiao and Austin would chat and laugh together.
"You seem to be very reluctant to see people in Austin. There's no need to hide your origins now."
Han Xiao frowned slightly.
Desolo glanced at Han Xiao and did not stop him.
Lackey sighed, with a melancholy expression, and a look of "I don't want to mention the past anymore". It made Han Xiao suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder. He wanted to put a cigarette in his mouth and puff away the smoke. This painting
The wind is right.
"Well, let me tell you, decades ago, I was the forbidden witch leader of the Red Robe Monastery and the fourth disciple of the curser Austin."
When Han Xiao heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
Oh, let me go, little guy, you are a bit awesome!
The status of the Forbidden Witch Commander is roughly equivalent to the chief vanguard officer under the Tyrant, and the fourth disciple of the Curse Master means that he is one of Austin's direct disciples. Together with these two names, Lackey's former status was,
Equivalent to Austin's right-hand man.
Lackey waved his hands with an expression that said "everything is over" and sighed: "But later, I made a mistake. Austin kicked me out of the Red Robe Monastery. I broke away from Austin and became a
I was a lone ranger, and then I was caught, and then you rescued me, and you know what happened after that."
Han Xiao looked surprised. With Lackey's status, what huge mistake did he make that caused Austin to personally drive away his right-hand man?
At this time, Desolo couldn't help coughing, "Your Excellency Black Star, it's better that you don't know."
Han Xiao's eyes moved, and he became more and more curious. He turned around and saw Lackey's face full of vicissitudes of life, as if he had suddenly grown a full face of stubble.
"Well, everyone has their moments of youth and frivolity. The curse master is a good man. It's a miracle that I can survive until now..." Lackey smacked his lips and spoke in a reminiscing tone.
Han Xiao's mouth twitched. It was hard for him to imagine Lackey being young and frivolous. He felt that a person with this name should be born with a halo of decadence, and could not be related to the two adjectives "young" and "frivolous".
stand up.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Han Xiao looked helpless, "I respect your opinion. If you want to go back with him, I won't stop you. If you want to stay, I will help you reject them."
Desolo frowned, thought for a while, and did not speak immediately.
Lackey rubbed his face and sighed, "I'll go back with you."
Hearing this, Desolo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lackey knew what was going on, so he didn't have to turn against Black Star.
He turned towards Han Xiao and said calmly: "Your Excellency Black Star, he is willing to come with us, please abide by the agreement."
"……All right."
Han Xiao pursed his lips. The right helper he had finally found was abandoned like this. It felt like his neighbor reached out and pulled out a jade-like high-quality leek from his vegetable patch. He felt bad.
At this time, Lackey suddenly spoke, and his tone became unusually serious.
"Black Star, you saved me and you are my benefactor. Don't doubt my belief in working for you. I went back to make it clear to Austin, otherwise they will not let it go. I don't want to cause trouble to you..."
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. After hearing these words, he suddenly felt that he had wrongly blamed Laki. His unhappiness disappeared and he was even a little touched.
This person is quite reliable. He actually thinks about me in every aspect. I didn’t save you in vain.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lackey returned to his original state, became decadent, and murmured: "Anyway, you can't beat Austin, so it's useless for me to refuse. I'll go back with them. It will be good for everyone, alas."
Hey, what are you talking about?
Han Xiao couldn't help but ask Desolo, "What did Austin think of letting him be the leader of the forbidden witches? Isn't he afraid that under his leadership, all the forbidden witches will become autistic?"
"Well, he wasn't like this before."
Desolo sounded awkward.
After a few more polite words, Desolo stood up to leave and said seriously: "My mission is completed, so I will take him away first."
Han Xiao was about to nod when he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly stopped the few people who turned around and walked out.
"Wait a minute, I need your help with something."
Desolo turned back and said doubtfully: "Please tell me."
"This... I want to discuss with you." Han Xiao said bravely.
Including Lackey, there are four strong men in front of him, all of whom should be more than 20 levels higher than him. This is a good opportunity to do advanced tasks. If you win them all, it will be a 24-point trial point, and you will directly complete half of the task progress.
, the opportunity must not be missed, so even though it was sudden, Han Xiao still spoke.
As expected, Desolo and others were all stunned, feeling confused and inexplicable.
