Traveling through thousands of realms at the same time, I need to add some dark blue

Chapter 265: Lord Dark Lord

"Two weeks ago, the convoy set out from Odifen and traveled all the way to Xinglong, and arrived in Xidu three days ago. I know the journey is long, but in this world, things are always rare and expensive. The farther the journey, the more expensive these special materials are."

"I believe in Star Dragon. I believe Star Dragon can protect me..."

"The Star Dragon Kingdom made me rich. I have changed my nationality to Star Dragon, and I have raised my children in the way of Star Dragon, giving up traditions... Even though those traditions are the traditions of a lost nation, they still make me feel lost."

In front of the huge desk, a bearded white man was chattering to Gu Meng, who was shrouded in shadows. His expression was full of respect - pretended respect.

Although Gu Meng was very imposing, deep down he looked down on the other party.

"Speak to the point, don't talk about irrelevant things."

Gu Meng knocked on the table.

"Okay, okay... Anyway, the Star Dragon officials promised to protect me. Before that, at least in the transit city of Star Dragon, everything was safe and sound. Nothing serious happened to the convoy, and the gangs I encountered were mostly reasonable people. As long as I paid a reasonable price, there would always be someone to help me settle the trouble. Even if I really encountered unreasonable people, my men would not be pushovers."

"In the past, the dangers for caravans mainly came from before entering the city and from other countries. To this day, I still believe that Star Dragon is relatively orderly. They are just a little greedy, but the profits are enough to offset everything."

"I really didn't expect to encounter something like this this time... Twenty-five brothers died, and even more were disabled. I'm afraid they won't be able to stand up in their next life. They were all my good brothers, my beloved relatives and friends, my brothers and sisters. They are disabled, and I feel heartbroken. Mechanics may be able to help them stand up, but it's too expensive."

"More important than the casualties of my brothers is that my convoy has been looted. This is my biggest deal this year."

"I have contacted people, but it's useless. My official friend, who I thought we were friends with, cut ties with me, saying that this matter is too complicated and he can't handle it. He even advised me not to come to Xinglong again..."

"How can I do this? I have no way out. If I quit now, my former friends will no longer be my friends, and my former enemies will tear me to pieces and divide my property."

"In order to seek justice, I shamelessly went to the police and the army, whom I had originally disdained. Sure enough... they disappointed me again and could not find any clues."

"I have to find someone else, someone more powerful and big."

"Mr. Dark Lord, everyone in the West who is still willing to listen to me is mentioning the same name, and that is you, sir."

"This matter is extremely important to me. Please help me, sir. If you can, I will be very grateful and will repay you in the future."

Mechanical Gu Meng rolled his eyes humanely. This guy was really unpleasant. He was talking so ambiguously at this time. There must be retribution in the future. How big will the reward be?
Gu Meng's avatar showed a stiff smile on his face: "Abagun, why didn't you come to me first before calling the police? What do you want from me?"

Abagun took a deep breath and said, "Just tell me what you want. I beg you to do me this favor. I hope you can help me get revenge. I can't swallow this. Those dead are like my brothers."

Gu Meng glanced at him. The aura he exuded had already made the visitor on the other side lower his voice unconsciously, and he could not say those words that he himself did not believe in.

"But if it's hard to handle, I can only accept the recovery of the materials in my fleet. That shipment of goods cannot bring the highest profit in Xidu, and the fleet's overdue breach of contract and failure to deliver on time will cause me huge losses, which I really cannot afford."

The bearded merchant Abagnon gave a flattering smile.

"I understand. I don't have to take revenge, but I have to get the goods, even if I have to pay an excessive price... But this is not an easy thing to do... Why didn't they come to me on the day of the incident? Maybe they have already escaped from Xidu. You know, the order of Star Dragon is only relative. Only the core area has limited order. My sphere of influence is only this large, and modern people move so quickly. I may not be able to find them."

"in addition……"

Gu Meng leaned forward, with his huge and strong upper body pressed close to Abagnon, and at the same time, the invisible aura on his body became stronger.

"We have had contact before, right? This is not the first time your convoy has come to Xidu. Why didn't you come to me last time? Hmm?"

Abagnon wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not knowing what to say.

The last time he came to Xidu, Gu Meng's power was not so great. Abagun, who had official friends, certainly would not take the initiative to meet Gu Meng.

At that time, he thought that this new force would most likely be squeezed out by the old forces. Even if it was Star Dragon, there was a huge dark side in the city. Each district had a person in charge, some were strong, some were weak, and each had their own background.

There are new people appearing every year. Even if they are prominent for a while and some are powerful E-level super-powered people, they will be quickly destroyed if they have no background.

And this so-called Dark Lord is just a small character with no background. If he can persist for a long time, hook up with some person, and gain some tacit approval, the big businessman Abagnon will reluctantly give him some bones.

Last time, the several major evil forces in the city were still thriving, but who would have thought that this time, most of them had disappeared, and the Dark Lord's forces, the evil organization "Thunder and Fire Sword" has become the largest evil force in Xidu.

Some of the original forces are still struggling to survive, in addition, there are some newcomers who have not stayed in the city for long, as well as characters from unknown forces who robbed the convoy this time, but the Dark Lord's force is already the absolute uncrowned king.

"Forget it. I don't want to ask you any more questions. I just want to say that it's too late for you to come to me now. It's hard for me to do it. It's better to ask someone else for help."

Having said this, Gu Meng leaned back and sat back in the shadows, seemingly not wanting to say anything more.

"No, no, no, honorable sir, everyone says that in the territory of Xidu, there is nothing that the great Dark Lord cannot do. Even the Star Dragon officials cannot handle some things better than you. I was wrong in the past. Please accept my gift. Please believe me, you will get more in the future."

Abagnon pushed a metal box in front of Gu Meng. Gu Meng did not move. He used communication magic to scan the information... Well, that's good enough. It seems that in a critical moment, people are still willing to spend money. If he can't even figure this out, his business will not be so big.

But it still needs knocking.

The room was quiet for a while. Abagun saw that Gu Meng hadn't even opened his gift, and he became anxious. He was afraid that he would really be beaten to death this time, with no chance of recovery...

What went wrong? Did the big shots find better options? Which of my competitors could perfectly replace me? Could it be that the Dark Lord doesn't like money?
Abagun was thinking wildly, and he guessed right about one thing: Gu Meng didn't like money at all and had no interest in it.

But if he wants to change the world and acquire materials to improve his strength, money is of some use.

"Let me be frank, Abagnon. You don't seem to want my friendship, and you are afraid of being too deeply involved with me. You have been hesitating before coming here. You trust your official friend more. Even though he has already rejected you, you still place your hopes on the order of the Star Dragon."

"I like making friends, but you are not my friend, and I am not interested in money." Abagun became even more anxious. In the past, because he could make money, many people wanted to be his friend. Even the officials of Star Dragon would be polite to him for the sake of money. But recent experiences have made him understand that those are not the most important things.

At least among the people Xidu could contact, no one dared to take his money since the man in front of him didn't say anything.

He wanted to ask, but he didn't know what to say, nor did he know what bargaining chips he had to impress the other party.

"gentlemen……"

Gu Meng waved his hand: "I don't want to cause trouble for myself. I understand that you have made a fortune under the order of Star Dragon and accepted their protection, so you have hope for this. Your business is doing well and your life is good. You have the official and legal protection to protect you. You don't need a friend like me."

"That's not the case sir—"

"Please don't interrupt me when I'm speaking, thank you, it's rude..."

Gu Meng glared at Abagnon, which made his heart almost stop beating. The man in front of him was too powerful. The Dark Lord must be an extremely powerful super-powered person.

"Where are we going? Let me think... You don't need a friend like me, but now you come to me and ask, Mr. Dark Lord, please help me get justice."

"But you have no respect for me at all. You don't consider me a friend. You don't even want to call me sir..."

……

……

The storm belongs to Gu Meng.

Let’s go back to before the storm began.

From nowhere, a man who called himself the Dark Lord came to Xidu and began his story.

That day, Han Xiao and Gu Meng parted ways. Han Xiao went to the repair shop and contacted Old Man Lu from Bureau 13. Gu Meng first collected a batch of simple materials and began to prepare for summoning and obtaining support. This tested both luck and strength. With the support of modern Gu Meng, he summoned some beings who could serve as cadres.

On the other hand, Gu Meng also needs to obtain power to produce mechanical parts related to himself, add new robot soldiers, and give full play to his own advantages.

At the same time, it was not only Gu Meng who was taking action. Although the two of them entered the city as smugglers, smuggling could only deceive some people. It would not be so easy to deceive others who were interested, such as the Thirteenth Bureau.

The Western Capital was vast in area and was divided into eight districts, with three acropolises connected by military railways.

District One is the core area in the center of the city. All government office buildings are located here and no citizens are allowed to enter.

There are undercurrents between the six countries. Although the Germinal Organization is a common enemy, the six countries are also in competition with each other. No one has an absolute ally. The assassinations against high-level officials of various countries have never stopped. Although on the surface the assassinations are blamed on the Germinal Organization and certain super criminals, the intelligence agencies of various countries know very well that at least 70% of the assassinations are caused by other countries.

Intelligence agencies of various countries, sprout organizations, wandering warlords, arms dealers, information dealers, super criminals, killer organizations, hackers and other desperadoes constitute the underground world of this planet. Gu Meng, who has no official background and wants to develop in the city, must first become the king of this underground world.

The Dragon Horn Building is the core government agency of Star Dragon and where the top leaders work. In theory, the outer walls of the Dragon Horn Building can withstand intercontinental missiles, so the bigwigs of Star Dragon don’t have to worry about a missile hitting them on the head while they are in a meeting.

And underground in Longjiao is the base camp of the confidential department.

……

Longjiao Building, underground, unmarked floors on the elevator.

Star Dragon National Strategic Defense Bureau Headquarters.

Dozens of huge black screens are hung on the wall, massive matrix data flashes by, the sound of keyboard typing is continuous, and countless intelligence personnel come and go, busy like gears on a machine, maintaining the operation of this intelligence agency simply called Bureau 13. Countless pieces of intelligence, big or small, are gathered here and processed, and then sent to the departments where they should go.

The Thirteenth Bureau is Xinglong's eyes and ears, and the sharp knife hidden in his sleeve.

"Report to the Minister, Zero's whereabouts have been located. And because Zero has been located, the mysterious X has also been located."

The quiet female secretary wearing glasses hurriedly knocked on the door of the Intelligence Minister's office. She saw the Intelligence Minister sitting behind his desk with a serious face and said in a deep voice, "Speak."

"Zero is currently hiding in a mechanical repair shop in District 7, while X has rented a single-family house on a black street. I don't know what he is doing."

The intelligence chief turned his chair back and pondered for a moment before turning around again and saying seriously, "I don't know their background, but the higher-ups want us to have gentle contact first."

The secretary with glasses pushed her glasses up, and a bright light flashed across the lenses. "How do we implement it specifically?"

"Since Zero has come to Xidu, the subtext is that he is seeking asylum, and he has shown his intention to cooperate... Make plans for both situations and adopt the informant protection procedure to prevent Mengya's spies in Xidu from knowing of his existence. Have the hackers intercept all messages mentioning Zero's whereabouts and prevent any information from leaking from the Internet. At the same time, send someone to secretly test him to see if he is a spy deliberately sent by Mengya. Don't make any contact rashly before confirming it."

"And X...I'm afraid I'll have to have another meeting."

"Zero is a defector worth one million from Sprout, but the main character on the bounty is obviously X, who is worth ten million. This figure may be because Sprout doesn't want to pay more and attract too much attention. For a mysterious person, this bounty is already the maximum."

"There are two possibilities. First, both Zero and X are important. Zero's bounty is his own. For example, he has some key intelligence, or he has strong strength and his danger is difficult to assess. Second, the bounty on Zero is just to obtain information about X, so the importance of X will increase even more."

"Contact Zero first, get information about X, and then consider your attitude towards him."
