904 Emersy's Invitation(1/2)
Staring at the tip of the knife, his fingertips slid on the blade, and the cold and sharp touch was transmitted to the brain through the nerve endings.
In the room, Lotaire sat at the table, habitually stroking the black blade that accompanied him in his assassination career. The light from the embedded desk lamp did not leave any reflection on the black blade. His weapon was made of light-absorbing material, as black as the universe.
Got to be deep.
Rotel's eyes were unfocused, and his mood was not as calm as his face under the mask.
He has been in the Black Star Legion for several days, and he is like a transparent person who is incompatible with the lively atmosphere of the Legion and maintains a solitary style.
Lotaire chose to come all the way to contact the Black Star Legion because the Ability God was arrested. On the one hand, he wanted to see what kind of person the Black Star was who overthrew the Ability God. On the other hand, he was also confused.
The power god took away his innate talent, which has always been his nightmare. Lotaire didn't like to sleep, because every midnight dream would wake him up from nightmares, and assassinating the power god was his only goal.
Now, the power god has been defeated by others, and he has lost the opportunity for revenge. Lotaire has no other hobbies, all his friends are dead, he is withdrawn and does not like to communicate with others. He has no ambition and does not know what he will do in the future.
, continue to assassinate criminals in the Ark of the Fallen? Or put away the knife and wander around? Or find a planet to retreat and settle down?
Lotaire felt confused about life, so he subconsciously came to the Black Star Legion and decided to serve the Black Star for a period of time to repay his kindness. When one day in the future he feels that he has repaid his kindness, he will choose to leave.
While he was in a daze, the doorbell suddenly rang. Lotaire came back to his senses and subconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand. Then he realized that he was in a safe situation and relaxed his fingers.
He put the black blade back into the scabbard, stood up and opened the door, and there was Black Star outside the door.
The two looked at each other in silence for a while, before Lotaire slowly spoke:
"...is something wrong?"
"We haven't had a good talk yet, and I happen to be free now... Do you want to stand at the door and talk to me?" Han Xiao nodded.
Lotaire paused and turned sideways to open the door.
Han Xiao stepped in, glanced at the room casually, then sat on the sofa in the living room, raised his chin towards the seat opposite, and motioned for Lothair to sit down.
When Lotaire sat across from him, Han Xiao stared at him and muttered:
"I have been paying attention to you. Judging from the resume you submitted, you are a powerful natural disaster-level assassin. I value you very much, so I am not in a hurry to arrange your position."
"Um."
Han Xiao tilted his head and said, "You don't seem to talk much."
"Yes."
Lothair responded lightly.
Han Xiao smiled and said, "It feels bad to feel confused."
Hearing this, Lotaire's brows suddenly twitched.
"Believe me, I understand your thoughts. You are different from Shazik. He really wants to repay me, but I can see that you are different. Your goal is only the power god. Now that you have lost your enemy, you don't know
What should you do, so you decided to work for me for a while, right?"
Han Xiao spoke slowly. The resume submitted by Lotaire did not mention his past experiences. However, due to the information in his previous life, Han Xiao knew Lotaire's experience and personality very well and could easily infer his thoughts.
"...Yes." Rotel exhaled and nodded.
"I can see that you are obsessed with the Ability God, so I guess the hatred between you and the Ability God is not just the destruction of your home. You may have faced the Ability God directly and seen his terror, and he has become your nightmare."
Lotaire's eyes widened in surprise. These were the secrets he kept deep in his heart. He did not write them into his resume and rarely revealed to outsiders how Black Star could see them.
There are only a handful of conversations between the two of them. Is it possible that Black Star's insight is so terrifying that after only a few meetings, he guessed exactly what I was thinking and what I had done in the past?
"...You are right. I have seen a supernatural god before, and I am a supernatural being whose ability was taken away by him." Lotaire suppressed the shock in his heart, kept his face paralyzed, and said dully.
"Then you're really lucky to be alive."
He knew that Lotaire's hatred for the Ability God was even more unforgettable. After all, anyone would be unhappy if his innate ability was taken away. Even if Lotaire changed his fate and gained the same powerful strength, he still felt resentful.
.
Han Xiao comforted him: "Then with your current strength, you must have suffered a lot."
Hearing this, Lotaire's eyes flashed for a moment, as if he had fallen into some bad memories, but he quickly came back to his senses, lowered his head and said nothing, and a strange feeling spread in his heart.
After living alone for so many years without any friends or partners, he found that Han Xiao understood him. Hearing his comfort and seeing his sincere smile, Lotaire felt a little touched.
How long has it been since no one cared about me...
If an ordinary person said this, Lotaire wouldn't have much thought. As a natural disaster-level powerhouse, he is not easily persuaded, but Black Star is a Transcendent A Grade, and in front of others, the natural disaster-level is just a person.
Brother, Black Star is a big shot far above him. Lotaire's reaction was intensified by the big shot's concern.
In fact, there is another reason for this... In order to open Lotaire's heart, Han Xiao activated Morning Star's character advent card while speaking.
[Look back and smile], Effect: Charm +688.
Facts have proved that it seems to be quite effective...
"It's all over." Rotel took a breath, suppressed the rising emotions, and replied hoarsely.
Han Xiao shook his head, and while the character card was still valid, he leaned forward and whispered:
"Don't keep it in your heart. You may be used to being alone, but you have to realize that no matter what the future holds, you are no longer alone. I am your boss and I hope to know more about you.
experience.”
Lotaire's throat twitched slightly and he was silent for a while. He was a little resistant in his heart, but thinking that Black Star was his benefactor, he made a decision and slowly told his past.
Because he hadn't spoken so many words for so long, he was a little awkward at first, but he soon got better and immersed in his emotions.
Having no one to talk to before, Lotaire had always kept the past in his heart, which was heavy. Now that he was talking about it all at once, he felt much more relaxed and happy.
Han Xiao listened quietly. In fact, he basically understood what Lothair said. Let him say it, mainly to let him open his heart and improve his favorability. After all, Lothair just joined, there is no emotional foundation, and loyalty will not rise from the sky.
Falling off, this needs to be cultivated slowly.
"That's right. I value you very much. If you want, I'm willing to listen at any time." Han Xiao nodded.
"...Thank you." Lotaire exhaled a breath, feeling that his whole body relaxed a little, and the fear of the supernatural god that was entrenched in his heart seemed to be diluted a little.
He was a little flattered that a big shot like Black Star was willing to talk to him, and he was a little grateful in his heart.
"That's it for today." Han Xiao stood up and said with a smile: "I hope that one day in the future, I can trust you."
"Yes." Although Lotaire still cherished his words, his tone was completely different, not so cold.
"Cheer up. I will arrange a task for you in a while. Then don't be listless and leave."
Han Xiao walked towards the door and waved his hands with his back turned.
Lotaire leaned against the door and watched Han Xiao's back disappear around the corner, feeling much more relaxed.
His decision to join the Black Star Legion seems to be a good one.
…
A few days later, the production line of the Logistics Department produced a large amount of [Black Star Legion Badge Evolution]. After Han Xiao completed charging, it was officially shipped.
Some players who had nothing to do ran back to the headquarters to pick up the goods, while buyers from far away on the battlefield of the Gural Civilization used the legion's logistics to deliver goods to their doorsteps.
Soon the first batch of players who purchased it experienced the effect of this item for themselves, and a large number of evaluation posts immediately appeared on the forum.
Players who participated in the Gural Civil War used it in actual combat and recorded videos. Han Xiao opened a related popular post and watched the video.
The screen is an airdrop battle. In the screen, players are clearing out the resistance forces in the city. A war bunker stands in a certain square, housing a large number of ancient imperial party ground troops. The firepower is fierce. Players who charge are blown up and suppressed.
The player can only hide.
The players participating in the battle were seen communicating with each other for a while, and ten players wearing [Black Star Legion Badge Evolution] stood up and held their badges high.
"Ultraman, transform!"
A player who was suspected of being a middle-class martial arts master roared, and the next moment, the bodies of ten players suddenly swelled up and turned into aberrations of advanced creatures.
"rua!" Ten huge aberrations rushed out together, facing the gunfire, charging at high speed on all fours.
The powerful vitality withstood the concentrated fire, and the enemy suddenly saw a group of monsters breaking through the fire cover. The look of fear on their faces was clearly visible, and the screams echoed through the sky.
Two of the aberrations were shot and exploded on the way to the charge, and the rest rushed into the enemy's position, smashing the floating tanks and collapsing the war bunkers. Their huge arms and claws activated the unparalleled dance mode.
Flesh and blood flying everywhere, it's a restricted scene.
[Fist of the Testicles (subject): Personal experience, the actual combat effect of extreme evolution is so strong, the deformed body is too fleshy, it is really suitable for attacking difficulties]
[Maple Moon: Although it’s a bit ugly, it’s really useful...]
[Yueyingliu: The price/performance ratio is quite high, but it is still very expensive. It also charges an additional 5,000 Innars for recharging, which is too cheating]
[Meng Yue Xing Chen: Think about it, how can you become stronger without recharging money (Black Star smiles)]
More players are using badges in dungeons. The Aberrant is perfect for being a main tank and perfect for taking on bosses.
Badge owners suddenly became popular for teaming up to play dungeons, and basically every team will bring a badge owner.
Some players saw the business opportunities, pooled their money to buy badges, and then hired them to join the team playing dungeons, charging a fee that was only higher than the recharge price, specifically serving players who could not afford badges.
Players are highly subjective and various usages were quickly discussed on the forum. Han Xiao curiously followed it for a while and then closed the forum. There is another thing that is more important at the moment.
The Scarlet Empire has officially negotiated the issue of Evolutionary Totems, and Han Xiao signed a formal trade agreement with the Empire to provide Evolutionary Totems to the Empire in the long term. It is estimated that 100 million totem devices will be supplied within five years, and they will all be of the highest quality.
After twenty years of recharging, the Empire will pay the manufacturing costs and "fuel fees".
Because of the relationship between the two parties, Han Xiao cannot make much money from the empire. The goal of making money is other civilizations. An important clause of the agreement is that Han Xiao has the right to sell evolutionary totems to other allied civilizations, and the profits will go entirely to the black.
To be continued...
