Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Naturally, a few people did not talk in detail in public.

Time also leaves no opportunity for reunited friends to reminisce.

Silver Shadow confirmed that what Seto said was true, and with her character it was impossible for her to be coerced, so the deputy leader of the Skinners was indeed a trustworthy person.

Although it is incredible, the key point is intriguing...

But it is what it is.

The bee prince felt relieved.

He directed several people to the VIP booth of Dancing Skeleton Man. As the manager of the local gang, he had this privilege.

During this period, Yinying mainly communicated with Lu Meng and others about the following things:

One is the information on Shark Village that Lu Meng requested.

Although the management of the Hound Gang is strict, there must be brokers like Yin Ying among them, and there may be various idle people involved through such gray channels; and the specific activities of the gang are also known to front-line personnel like them.

Lu Meng is indeed familiar with Shark Village.

But what he understood was more like a static portrait.

A certain degree of deduction can be made based on existing elements, but it is never as accurate as first-hand information; not to mention that there may also be a butterfly effect, and the future is not completely known.

After all, players codenamed "Unknown Ones" have never appeared in history.

At first, Silver Shadow felt very embarrassed.

Because this is equivalent to asking him to betray his previous customer information. Although he will quit this business after preparing to wash his hands, as a broker, he still needs to have basic credibility. Otherwise, it is easy to suffer retaliation. If you can betray the first time, you can betray the second time. What you say has no credibility and makes people feel insecure.

This is a paradox.

It is precisely because you are trustworthy that others want to know your information; but the more others want to know, the less you can say it.

It was Lu Meng who made him relax.

He said: "If you don't tell me, I will report you to Da Heimei."

Silver Shadow looked at Seto with a stunned expression.

Doesn’t this person really matter?

He took back what he said before... Now he really felt that Seto might have missed something and was coerced.

The little princess didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and spread her hands helplessly.

Instructing the unknown person to recite the words 'teacher-student friendship' and give him some face.

Although I don't know how much it is worth.

When she saw Lu Meng crushing the Shadow Man's relics before, although she had expected it, she was still shocked.

In terms of seniority, that is your master.

But now, he is doing this in front of his students, leading by example, teaching by words and deeds...

The bad impact caused is immeasurable.

Of course, Lu Meng also explained it afterwards.

——It stands to reason that he himself is the greatest legacy left by the previous generation of filmmakers.

In comparison, these dead things are nothing.

They are meant to be handled by oneself.

Don't let the small lose the big.

Rather than letting the relic be humiliated by the enemies in life, it would be better to enjoy it in the hands of the disciple.

The senior Kage must know this.

I will also smile with joy.

When Seto thought about it...there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.

Even if Miss Shadowman was here, she couldn't find any fault.

learned.

But back to the present, Lu Meng is certainly not so radical.

He doesn't ask Silver Shadow to reveal all the details - nor is he interested in it.

He just needs to know.

There are many forces in Shark Village that are not under the control of the Ming Gang.

Himself, Union City, Swamp Ninja...

Like Silver Shadow, a third party who openly pledges allegiance to the gang but actually has other interests.

Such information does not involve individuals.

It does not violate the principles of Silver Shadow, and the transaction is very pleasant.

From these details, Lu Meng also judged another thing.

The Swamp Ninjas did not infiltrate Shark Village on a large scale through the channels of brokers.

The Shadow Man he saw in the Hounds.

Presumably other means were used.

According to the agreement, after the other party comes to Shark Village, he will find a way to contact him. But this is not done now, and there must be a reason.

Or you can't get away.

Either it seems to her that there are more important things at the moment.

Another thing I communicated with Silver Shadow was about Hamut’s commission.

After Lu Meng left Shizhen, the other party asked him to contact Yinying.

When he made this clear.

Yinying was even more surprised and moved that his two friends had both been helped by each other, and now they trusted each other even more.

It was just a joke before.

Just like Seto's character, he would not be willing to be coerced by others.

Hamut is even less likely to do so.

Because he is already a carefree person.

Silver Shadow told the information Hamut wanted.

——As expected, what the other party is looking for is anti-slavery people.

…

Before Hamut started wandering, he also had a happy family, with a wife and a daughter, living and working peacefully in Stoat Town in Union City.

However, after Emperor Tengu ascended the throne.

As the important grain-producing town of Bastet was destroyed by the expedition called "The Wrath of God", on the one hand, the empire's finances became increasingly tight. On the other hand, the tug of war between the frontline and the Holy Kingdom army required a large number of soldiers. He was originally a free citizen and had many martial arts skills. Mutt enlisted in the army.

Not only to cope with the increasingly heavy taxes, but also to worry that his hometown would become like Buster - all the towns were destroyed, and the people were either killed or taken to Rebirth Town as slaves.

It's been more than two years since I left.

It wasn't until he achieved military exploits, advanced to become an official warrior of the Imperial Army, and was seriously injured that he was allowed to go home to visit relatives and recuperate.

But when Hamut returned home.

Only then did he realize that his little home no longer existed. Even the house, which was the envy of many people, was razed to the ground and turned into a pack animal stable from who knows where.

It turns out that citizens who enlisted in the army can indeed be exempted from taxes according to imperial legislation.

However, the local lords and nobles cannot control so much.

Just like when Buster was besieged, each lord just stood aside and watched, for fear of drawing the Holy Kingdom's anger to his own city-state and damaging his own property.

In the tug of war with the Holy Kingdom, if it weren't for Long En's iron fist, they wouldn't even want the imperial army to recruit young men in their own city-state to reduce tax sources... let alone deploy private soldiers from the nursing home to support the front line.

As for conscripted warriors like Hamut.

In their view, when you join the Imperial Army, your allegiance is to His Majesty the Emperor and to Long En, the nobleman in robes, not to the people of our city-state.

What's the contradiction between being exempted from imperial taxes and paying me the money you owe me?

And the wife lives alone at home, taking care of her underage daughter. With her small business, how can she afford the increasingly unscrupulous exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, let alone the various difficulties faced by urban bureaucrats and thugs.

Communication is inconvenient and there is no communication at all.

When her husband went off to war and narrowly escaped death on the Buster Front, it was less than a year and the family was already heavily in debt.

When Hamut wore the eagle medal issued by the empire, covered his scars with warrior armor, and rushed towards the door of his home with great expectations.

His wife and daughter have long since been sent into slavery and have disappeared.
