From Hughton's words, it is not difficult to see that he and Horne knew each other, and there might be some grudges. Otherwise Horn wouldn't let himself say nothing about the origin of the blue moonlight, for fear that Hughton would refuse to guide when he knew it. Moreover, what Hughton said before seemed to be just a joke, which made Allen's heart a little overwhelming.
Seeing Alan hesitating and stopping, Hughton rolled his eyes and said: "It's OK, I did say it for fun before. But since you survived the death ring, I'm not shameless enough. I don’t accept this promise. Otherwise, why should I give you the address."
Allen was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Stop." Hughton changed his words: "The Rubik's Cube sequence is not an easy-to-learn knowledge. Even if I am willing to teach you, you may not be able to learn it. So before that, I have to see if you have the qualifications."
Allen nodded and said, "It should be."
"About this, just wait for you to come back from the surface. Maybe, your kid will kill me on the surface, ha." Hughton said casually, seeing Alan showing a helpless expression, he waved his hand and smiled: "I'm joking, all right, let's take a look at these two things. Go, help me get the toolbox, it's over there."
Pointing to a corner of the living room, Hughton had already picked it up and looked at it. Allen helped him bring the toolbox, and Hughton disassembled the darkly destroyed components and took out the Rubik's Cube sequence chip from it. He glanced at him and said, "It turned out to be the handwriting of Old Lawlins, um, that's not right. The setting of these sources is a bit cumbersome, and it is probably a copy of his students."
Allen curiously asked: "Can Mr. Hughton still see the designer of the sequence?"
"It’s not difficult. Everyone’s methods are different, especially those who advertise themselves as masters who prefer to leave some of their own logos. Just like Lawrins, in his design, the number 13 is his logo. For example, a sequence actually only needs ten source points to activate, this old thing often increases to 13. For example, a sequence with a larger power needs 16 source points, and the old guy will reduce it to 13 ."
"In this way, the first sequence will waste more source power, and the latter sequence will make the power less than the standard. Of course, Lawrins will always have his own set of explanations. He is one of the few in this field. One of the masters. Who would dare to question his authority? So you see, this guy is a liar full of nonsense. How can I have such a reputation."
Hughton has caught a few tools and began to modify the Rubik's Cube sequence of the Dark Destruction: "Look, as long as these redundant sources are eliminated, and then the energy conduction loop is simplified, the use standard can be lowered."
He made it easy, but it took more than an hour to finally complete the re-adjustment of the second gear. After reducing the source force requirement, the Dark Destruction was reduced from the original five source force knife shadows to three. As for Silent Guardian, the amount of energy absorption has only dropped by 5 percentage points, and only 25% of its defense power has been reduced, so its cost performance is quite good.
After repacking his weapons, Allen left and agreed with Hughton to return to Babylon and visit again. After sending Alan away, Hughton walked back to the living room and looked up at the corridor on the second floor. In the shadow of the corridor, I don't know when there were more black skirts. From under the skirts, a pair of white bare feet were stepping on the floor. It was an unnatural paleness, with a little sickness. From the round toes and leg lines, it is not difficult to tell that it is a girl.
"Vera, the guest has gone." Hughton whispered.
The girl in the corridor gave a low "um", and Hughton sighed slightly, and said, "What do you think of the boy just now?"
The girl did not answer, her pale feet returned to the shadows, and then soft footsteps faded away. Hughton nodded and said: "Well, you didn't say that you didn't hate him? What a lucky guy, who passed the biggest level."
"Vera, have beef stew with potatoes tonight?" Hughton shouted upstairs again.
Still no response.
Hughton shook his head: "Not to refuse is to agree. When will this kid come out of that shadow?"
It was already night when he returned to Ugalle Castle. After Alan had dinner, he began to train. However, it was obviously not as lucky as last time today, and he could enter the Origin Force Star Sea smoothly. Therefore, after 36 cycles of the driving force, his body after being strengthened by the physical stamina began to be overwhelming. Allen had to stop and move his hands and feet to relieve the painful blood vessels.
This night's training, the total source power only slightly increased by 1%.
The next morning, Allen came to the training ground and continued to practice sliding. There are only two days left before the departure. He must seize the time to practice this skill in order to play a greater role in actual combat. After practicing for half an hour, Hessing brought a few people over: "Master, this is the guard I'm looking for for you."
Allen looked up and swept over, all of them were young guards. The oldest inside is no more than 25 years old, and the youngest looks only seventeen or eighteen. Haising patted the oldest guard and said: "This is Barney, regardless of his age. He has been fighting in the Outland battlefield for a year. Barney is a good player in multiple positions, so this team is temporarily formed. I let him be the captain. As for the other members, let him introduce them."
Haising said that he had something to do and left now. The man named Barney had curly hair like steel wires, a sharp silhouette, and a well-balanced figure. His actions gave a feeling of explosive power. With a sunny smile, he stretched out his hand and shook Alan: "It's an honor to serve you, sir."
"Call me Ellen."
"Okay, Ellen." Barney is not welcome, after all, Ellen's identity has not been made public, and this master guard is just a minor young master. He began to introduce the other players to Allen, and the remaining guards had four people, from left to right, Jason, Diman, Arnold, and Marlene.
Jason is a blasting expert and fireman. He is not old, but very strong. At almost two meters tall, the blood vessels under the shiny skin are bulging like earthworms. Wearing sunglasses, his mouth kept moving, chewing gum. When Barney introduced him, Jason bared his white teeth and reached out to shake Alan's hands. However, after Allen's palm was much smaller than his, he noticed that Jason's palm was contracted.
Allen smiled slightly and squeezed it hard. However, the two palms of very different sizes were squeaking, and the discerning person could see at a glance that the two were wrestling in secret. Barney looked at Jason with a headache, for fear that he would hurt the young master. But he saw that Jason's expression was changing drastically. At first there was a smile, but gradually the smile closed, and then became solemn, now it is frowning and grinning, as if it was not lightly held by Allen.
"Your hand is very stable, I believe it is more powerful when holding the gun." Allen took the lead to let go of the guard.
Jason sneered and retracted his hand, and then said straightly: "Of course, Master Ellen. You will find that Jason is a very brave soldier!"
Others looked behind his ass, and the guard's hand was placed behind and trembling. Looking at the trembling palm, all the guards introduced next changed their faces to be serious, not as dignified as they were when they first came in.
Allen uses a simple method to obtain their most basic respect.
The next Diman is a scout. This guard is very thin. It is said that he runs quite fast and is good at disguising and hiding. Arnold is an expert in close combat. He has a tactical machete hanging across his waist and two daggers tied to the outside of his legs. It is said that there are several throwing knives hidden on his body. It seems that his fighting ability is justified. The last Ma Lin is a female, her dark brown skin shows that she has been working in the field for a long time, with short hair cut and unsmiling. She is a sniper herself, and can be used as a fireman temporarily when needed.
Barney also gave Alan a piece of information, which showed that Barney himself is a tenth-level engraver. As for the other players, they are all source powers ranging from level six to seven. Even in the huge family of Beth Kode, their guards have the skill of "nice" ~ EbookFREE.me~ More valuable is their own specialties. It seems that Heising did carefully select some talents, of course, the cost of their assignments is not cheap.
For this mission, Allen had to pay them 50,000 salary, of which Barney alone had 20,000, and the remaining four were equally divided. This is not counting the consumption of other equipment and ammunition and the expenses during the mission. On the last page of the information, it is a payment bill. Looking at the numbers on the bill, Allen suddenly felt that his federal bonus was not as much as he thought.
"So, did you find a guard for Allen?"
In the main building of the castle, in Horn's study, Heising briefly reported Alan's situation to the patriarch.
"Yes, sir, this is the security information." The old butler also handed Horn the same document.
Horn scanned it again, nodded and said, "It's enough to deal with a black group with this strength. You did a good job, Mr. Heising."
"It's okay, I'll go down first."
After the steward left, Horn raised his head and thought for a while and said, "Anna, you can follow along. But don't do anything, after all, this is Allen's own war."
In the shadow by the window behind him, the air twisted unnaturally, and a slender figure gradually appeared, and then a slightly hoarse female voice rang out: "Oh, Master, I will look after Master Ellen."
Horn nodded. As for how Anna judges the "never-to-be" boundary, it is not his consideration.
On the third day's breakfast, a harrier frigate directly pulled Alan and his team to the Port of Liberty. Thirty minutes later, the transport flying ship Bikong will depart from Goddess Harbor and fly to Area 13 on the surface. Allen and the others entered the waiting room through the green passage opened for the family's children. As soon as they sat down, two familiar voices sounded behind their heads.
"Allen!"
"Little elk."
