Before Departure
Chapter 65:Before Departure
The so-called black group is the last hunting group in the federal agency's book.
The hunting group is an unofficial adventure group that receives various commissions, from escorting objects to protecting dignitaries and even participating in wars.For hunting groups, the Federation has a rigorous management process.According to the requirements of the federal government, the hunting group must be registered in the federal name of the agency, all members of the identity must be recorded, and the annual assessment review of the regular hunting group by the Authority will determine the level of the hunting group.
Over the centuries, hunting groups have had their own set of classifications, with the federal government evaluating the value of hunting groups by star.Usually, hunting groups below three stars can only accept the commission of matters within the planet, and more than Samsung can accept the entrustment of the federal government or the nobles on the field battlefield.When the hunting group reaches enough stars and pays a fee, it can even buy the coordinates of an exoplanet from the federal government to have the right to develop the planet.
The hunting regiments established in the name of the nobility initially had three-star permission, of course, which was limited to the famous valve or the old nobles above it.After all, the family's ++ hunting group was mainly used for the development of colonial planets.In this regard, the federal government has opened the door for it.
Regular hunting groups are required to pay taxes to the federal government each year, and the Federal Administration, in contrast, provides them with a variety of services.And the last hunting groups, the black groups, because they evade taxes, they charge cheaper than other hunting groups.And these groups are doing whatever their mission, and in the eyes of the federal government, they basically hang on to criminals.
At noon, Alan got the information about the Black Widow.The black group is currently carrying out a commission in the 13th district of the surface, commissioned to clean a small town, but suffered a tough counterattack, the current battle between the two sides is in a state of glue.
When Alan read the information, the butler Haixin said: "It took three days to go to the surface of the 13th area of the civilian transport ship before leaving, the master has asked me to buy you a round-trip ticket for the young master."The Lord means to prepare you for more than a few days, and it is best to choose a few good hands in the family escort to accompany you.As for the cost, it will be deducted on your private account.”
Alan nodded and said, "Mr. Rauhaising picks me five guards, yes, I don't know if there is a master in the magic Cube sequence in our castle."My second set of magic weapons needs to make some adjustments before I can be used immediately.Of course, all the cost is still up to me."
Helsing said, shaking his head and laughing, “Young Master Alan, you may not know.”Master of Cube Sequence Design is rare in Babylon, and most of them are in the hands of the federal government, even if they are giants, who have such resources.Not to mention the master, we even need technicians who maintain magic equipment to regularly borrow from the Federal Ministry of Technology, so there is no such talent in the castle.”
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to visit Mr. Hughton."Allen frowned, if there is no talent in the Rubik's Cube sequence debugging in Ugarle Castle, then he can only go to Hughton to modify the set of weapons of the Rubik's Cube sequence to reduce the sequence's need for power.Otherwise, with his current ten-level engraver strength is not enough to drive the second-grade magic equipment.
"It was Mr. Hughton, who said he had been your teacher.Yes, Mr. Hutton has done a lot of research on the Cube sequence.But his residence...” Hesingu laughed, “Mr. Hutton is not a hospitable man, and he knows not many people in his residence.”If you want to inquire, I am afraid that you can not ask in three days."
Alan shook his head and said, "No, he gave me the address, I just need a driver and a flying car."
“Did Mr. Hugh give you the address?”Hysin was surprised.
"Well, because he promised me that he could teach me the sequence of the Cube."
Hai Xin said lightly: "If this is the case, I need to tell the master immediately."“Young master Alan, please come with me.”
Once more in Horne’s study, the Beskod’s patriarch was buried in a hill-like document.Hearing Hesin's request, Horn raised his head and took off his glasses unexpectedly, "You said that Hughton promised to guide Alan's knowledge in the magic Cube sequence?"
"This is what the young master himself told me, and Mr. Hutton also told the young master the address of his residence, and he should not be false."Hysin Road.
Horn laughed and shot the case: "Well, you let Alan in."
A moment later, Alan entered the study.Horn looked at him and said, “Listening to Alan, this is a rare opportunity.You have to learn from Hutton, the sequence design talent is very rare in the Federation, and it is the object of every family.You don't even have to be a master, as long as you have the potential of a technician, it's worth the family's investment for you, plus you graduate from the dawn blade, your prospects don't have to worry."
"At that time, the inclusion of the heirs sequence is not in the case, and your ranking will jump directly to the top."As an adult, you will also have a place in the family elder church.So you see, you have to take this rare opportunity and be a student of Hughton."
Fifteen minutes later, a flying car left the castle of Ugarh and followed the road towards the city of Babylon.Horn didn't go together, but he did his best to let Alan bring a good wine "blue moonlight" from his own collection, which was undoubtedly a terrible temptation for the old alcoholic.
According to the address provided by Hughton, two hours later, the flying car stopped in front of a three-story building on the southern section of Rio Avenue.On the golden island of Babylon, the most prosperous area is nothing more than the area of Dawn Square and Golden Wing Street, and the vast urban areas that radiate around it.In the bustling city, the expensive cost of food, clothing and housing is not affordable for ordinary civilians.
Therefore, it is a concentration of merchants and rich people, and the common people live in areas far away from the city, such as the Rio Avenue.But retired generals like Hughton are perfectly capable of living in urban areas without having to huddle in civilian areas like Rio Avenue.
Alan did not think so much, he mentioned his weapons box and Horne's gift of wine, walked through the garden in front of the small building, to the door: "Mr. Hutton, are you there?"This is Alan.”
His voice was not very large, but at this moment the road of Rio was very quiet, so that Alan could be sure that the people inside could hear his own cry, if there were people in the small building.Sure enough, there was a cluttered footsteps in the small building, followed by the sound of the door hitting, and then everything was calm.Alan stood there, as if someone had been hiding in the room in a panic, but he couldn't think of why he had to hide himself from Hutton.
“Alan?”An old voice sounded from behind.
Allan turned back, but saw Hughton, wearing a straw hat, with scissors in his hand, and burrowing out of the garden like a gardener.Alan unexpectedly said, "Mr. Hughton, I thought you were in the building."
He pointed to the small building and said, "I just heard movement inside."
Hugh looked at the small building and said, "It's okay, maybe it's just a stupid dog I've got."
Alan thought to himself, if a dog knows how to close the door, it is not stupid.Evidently Hughton didn’t want him to know something, and he stopped asking more.He said of Horn's blue moonlight: "It's a gift."
Hughton's old eyes immediately lit up, and threw the scissors at once, and jumped over with a speed that was not commensurate with age.Alan's eyes were clear, and the wine-sand-boarling in his hand had fallen into Hughton's hands.Hugh pulled open the wine and sucked, shouting, “Blue moonlight!Is it really blue moonlight?“Where did you get that baby?”
When Allen remembered, Horne told him not to mention his name, and he touched his head and said, "I bought it in the family warehouse."
Hugh looked at him suspiciously: "When was Bethkod put even the wine in the family warehouse and sold it?"
Fortunately, Hugh did not continue to ask, and pushed Alan into the small building.Hughton's home is not necessarily very luxurious, and even the decoration materials are not yet Alan's residence is luxurious.But the lighting is very good, and then use warm tones of the decoration, so that the living room has a home of warmth.
Put the blue moonlight carefully into his own wine cabinet, and Hughton looked like he was afraid that Alan would change his mind and take it back, and couldn’t wait to hide the wine.Then his eyes fell on the armament box in Allen's hand: "I know that wine can't be drunk in vain, boy, do you want me to help you debug the magic Cube sequence?" 」
"I wanted to wait until my strength met the requirements before I used this weapon."Alan opened the armored box and took out the silent guard and secretly destroyed it.
Hugh swept his eyes and nodded, “Two gear, the committee people know how to settle.”Why do you need to use them now?”
"I have to go to the surface."
Take it up and destroy it, and Hugh looked at it and asked, “Go to visit relatives?”
“No, to kill.Take back something that belongs to me.”Alan said quietly.
Hugh squinted his eyes and smiled, “Your boy is honest, okay.”It is not difficult to give me an hour to help you reduce the requirements for the use of these two things.However, the effect should also be discounted.”
"I know."
Hugh put down his knife and closed his smile and said, “Okay, let’s talk about something right.”So, you are here to learn the design of the Cube sequence with me.The bottle of blue moonlight, which you have just joined Bethkoder, is absolutely impossible, and I will guess, it is the private treasure of Lord Horn?"
Allen suddenly said, it seems that Hughton is not so good to fool, he can only be embarrassed: "The patriarch told me, do not mention him to you."
"He's too small to look at people, will I refuse you because of his relationship?"After all, I promised you personally, even though I didn't think you'd survive."Hugh said a little irresponsibly.
Alan's expression immediately became very wonderful, it turned out that Hugh did not look at him at the time, so it was just generous.
