Edge of the Apocalypse

The so-called black group is a hunting group that has not yet been registered under a federal agency.

The hunting group is an unofficial adventurous group. They accept various commissions, ranging from escorting objects to protecting important people, and even participating in wars. For hunting groups, the Federation has a set of strict management procedures. According to the requirements of the federal government, hunting groups must be registered with the administration under the federal name, and the identities of all group members must be recorded and put on record. Every year, the administration will conduct an assessment and review of regular hunting groups, which will determine the level of the hunting group.

After hundreds of years of operation, the hunting group has its own set of classifications, and the federal government uses stars to evaluate the value of the hunting group. Generally, hunting groups below three-star can only accept commissions for matters within the planet, and three-stars and above can accept commissions from the federal government or wealthy aristocrats on the battlefield in the outer domain. When the hunting group has reached a sufficient star rating and paid a fee, it can even buy the coordinates of a certain outer planet from the federal government, thus having the right to develop this planet.

The hunting group established under the name of the nobility has three-star authority from the beginning, of course, it is limited to the privileges of the famous nobility or the old nobles above. After all, the family hunting group is mainly used to develop colonial planets. At this point, the federal government has opened doors for convenience.

Regular hunting groups must pay certain taxes to the federal government every year. In contrast, the Federal Administration will provide them with various services. The hunting groups that were previously registered, also known as black groups, are cheaper than other hunting groups because of tax evasion. Moreover, these groups take on all tasks. In the eyes of the federal government, they are basically linked to criminals.

At noon, Allen got the information about the Black Widow. This black group is currently executing a commission in the 13th area on the surface. The content of the commission is to clean a small town, but it has encountered a strong counterattack. The battle between the two sides is currently in a stalemate.

After Alan finished reading the information, the butler Hessing said: "The civil transportation airship to the 13th area on the surface will not depart until three days later. The master has asked me to buy a round-trip ticket for you, the master. The master means let you Make more preparations in the past few days, and it’s best to pick a few powerful players from the family guard to accompany you. As for the expenses, they will be deducted from your personal account."

Allen nodded and said: "Mr. Lauhsing will pick me up five guards. By the way, I don't know if there is a master of Rubik's Cube sequence in our castle. My second set of magic weapons needs some adjustments. , Can be used immediately. Of course, all the expenses are still my expense."

Heising shook his head and laughed: "Master Ellen, you may not know. The masters of Rubik's Cube sequence design are very rare in Babylon. Most of them are in the hands of the federal government, even the wealthy. Such resources. Not to mention the master, even the technicians who maintain the magic equipment need to borrow from the Federal Ministry of Technology on a regular basis, so there is no such talent in the castle."

"In this case, I'm afraid I have to visit Mr. Hughton." Allen frowned. If there is no talent in the debugging of Rubik's Cube sequence in Ugalle Castle, then he can only go to Hughton to modify the Rubik's Cube sequence of the weapon. In order to reduce the sequence's demand for source power. Otherwise, his current tenth-level engraver's strength is not enough to drive the second-level magic equipment.

"It turned out to be Mr. Hughton, and speaking of it, he was once your mentor. That's right, Mr. Hughton has studied the Rubik's Cube sequence quite a bit. But his residence..." Haisinggu smiled: "Mr. Hughton is not hospitable There are not many people who know where he lives. If you want to inquire, I am afraid that you can't find out in three days."

Allen shook his head and said, "No need. He gave me the address. All I need is a driver and a speed car."

"Mr. Hughton gave you the address?" Haising asked in surprise.

"Well, because he promised me that he can teach me the knowledge of Rubik's Cube sequence."

Haising whispered, "If this is the case, I need to tell the master immediately. Master Ellen, please come with me."

When he came to Horn's study again, the Bethkod patriarch was immersed in a hill of documents. Hearing Heising's request, Horn raised his head, took off his glasses and said unexpectedly: "You said that Hughton promised to guide Alan on the Rubik's Cube sequence?"

"The young master told me this personally, and Mr. Hughton also told the young master the address of his residence, he should not be able to leave." Haixin said.

Horn laughed and said, "Okay, you let Allen in."

After a while, Allen entered the study. Horn looked at him and said, "Listen to Allen, this is a rare opportunity. You have to learn from Hughton with your heart. The talents in sequence design are also very scarce in the Federation, and it is the object of each family competing to win over. . You don’t even need to be a master, as long as you have the potential of a technician, it’s worth the family’s investment for you, plus if you graduate from the Blade of Dawn, you don’t have to worry about your prospects at all."

"At that time, it is not a problem to be included in the heir sequence, and your ranking will directly jump to the first place. After you become an adult, you will also have a place in the family elders. So you see, you must grasp this rare opportunity and be a good one. Hughton’s student."

Fifteen minutes later, a speeding car left Ugalle Castle and drove along the highway towards the city of Babylon. Horn didn't go with him, but he did what he liked and asked Allen to bring a good wine "Blue Moonlight" from his collection, which was undoubtedly a terrible temptation for the old alcoholic Hughton.

According to the address provided by Hughton, two hours later, the speed car stopped in front of a three-story building on the southern section of Leo Avenue. On the golden floating island of Babylon, the most prosperous area is no more than the area around Dawn Square and Golden Wing Avenue, as well as the vast urban area that radiates to the surrounding area. In a prosperous city, the expensive expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation are not affordable by ordinary civilians.

Therefore, there is a concentration of businessmen and wealthy people, and the common people live in areas far away from the city like Leo Avenue. But retired generals like Hughton are fully capable of living in urban areas without having to crowd in civilian areas like Rio Avenue.

Allen didn't think so much. He brought up his military suitcase and the wine presented by Horn, walked through the garden in front of the small building, and came to the gate: "Mr. Hughton, are you there? I am Allen. "

His voice is not necessarily loud, but Rio Avenue is very quiet at the moment, so Allen can be sure that the people inside can hear his shout, if there are people in the small building. Sure enough, there was a mess of footsteps in the small building, followed by the sound of the door slamming, and then everything was calm. Allen levied the land and stood there. It sounded like someone was hiding in the room in a panic, but he couldn't figure out why Hugh was hiding from himself?

"Alan?" An old voice sounded from behind.

Allen looked back, but saw Hughton, wearing a straw hat and holding scissors, came out of the garden like a gardener. Allen said unexpectedly, "Mr. Hughton, I thought you were in the building."

He pointed to the small building and said, "I just heard something inside."

Hughton glanced at Xiaolou and said, "It's okay, maybe it's just a stupid dog I raised."

Allen thought for a while, if a dog knows how to close the door, it's definitely not stupid. Obviously Hughton didn't want him to know something, so he stopped asking more. Speaking of Horn's blue moonlight said: "This is a gift."

Hughton's old eyes lit up immediately, he threw the scissors away, and rushed at a speed that was not commensurate with his age. Alan's eyes cleared, and the bottle in his hand had fallen into Hughton's hand. Hughton pulled out the wine cork and took a mouthful, yelling, "Blue moonlight! Is it really blue moonlight? Good fellow, where did you get such a baby?"

When Allen remembered, Horn had told him not to mention his name, so he touched his head and said, "I bought it in the family warehouse."

Hughton looked at him suspiciously: "When did Beskard put the wine in the family warehouse for sale?"

Fortunately, Hughton did not continue to ask, and pushed Alan into the small building. Hughton's home is not necessarily so luxurious, and even the decoration materials are not as luxurious as Allen's residence. But the lighting is excellent, and the warm color decoration makes the living room have a kind of home warmth~www.readwn.com~ Put the blue moonlight into your wine cabinet carefully, and Hughton looks like he is afraid of Ai. Lun changed his mind and took it back, and could not wait to hide the wine. Then his eyes fell on the Wu trunk in Allen's hand: "I know that wine can't be drunk for nothing, kid, do you want me to help you debug the Rubik's Cube sequence?"

"Originally, I wanted to wait until my strength met the requirements before using this set of weapons." Allen opened the Wu trunk and took out the Silent Guardian and Secret Destruction.

Hughton glanced and nodded: "Second gear, those on the committee know how to fudge. Why, do you need them now?"

"I have to go to the surface."

Picking up the Dark Destruction at will, Hughton looked at it and asked, "Go to visit relatives?"

"No, go kill. Take back whatever belongs to me." Allen said calmly.

Hughton squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "You guys are honest, that's okay. Give me an hour to help you reduce the requirements for using these two things. However, the effect is also discounted."

"I know."

Hughton put down his straight knife and ruined it, put away his smile and said, "Okay, let's talk about business. Then, you are here to learn the Rubik's Cube sequence design with me. That bottle of blue moonlight, because you just joined Beth Kord’s qualifications are absolutely impossible to obtain. Let me guess, that is Master Horn’s private collection?"

Allen was at a loss for words. It seemed that Hughton wasn't so foolish. He could only say in embarrassment: "The patriarch told me not to mention him to you."

"He is too underestimated. Would I reject you because of his relationship? After all, I personally promised you at the time, although I never thought you could really survive." Hughton was a little irresponsible. Said.

Allen's expression immediately became very exciting. It turned out that Hughton didn't take him seriously at the time, so he was just showing generous.
