The Shattered Star Ring was filled with thugs, and visitors from other Star Fields were rarely seen. However, there were still some people who knew that there was a tiger in the mountain and went there.
Peggy interrogated eleven people in a row, and the results were more or less the same. These Silvers were travelers who wanted to go to the edge of the visible universe to see it with their own eyes. The Shattered Star Ring was one of the edges of the visible universe, and they were unfortunately robbed by Peggy.
He walked into the next cell. The Silver inside was a bit different. The prisoners in the other cells would at least tremble when they heard the door open, but this person was very calm and did not move at all. It was as if he was not a prisoner but a VIP of this ship.
"You're the leader?" This Silver spoke first with a calm tone. "I'm willing to spend money to buy my freedom. You can name the price."
"I'm not interested." Peggy was expressionless. His spaceship maintained a message isolation to prevent being remotely located. To avoid risks, he would not let the captives use the communicator before it was safe.
He waved his hand, and his subordinates came forward to check the Silver's body. This Silver struggled violently and yelled, "I have a lot of money! Aren't you selling slaves for money? "
Suddenly, one of the scavenger's subordinates found something. He tore open the Silver's clothes and took out a black bead from the inner lining. This Silver was instantly agitated. He wanted to pounce over and take back the black bead, but he was pressed to the ground and roared angrily.
"What's this?" Peggy took the black bead from his subordinate and squeezed it with his fingers. It was very hard. The surface of the bead flashed with a deep light, with traces of magic Radiance.
"Give it back to me. I'm the emissary of Dark-star. This belongs to Dark-star. If you dare to take it away, you'll definitely bring destruction and death!" this person roared.
"Dark-star?"
Peggy sneered. "You did your homework well. An outsider far away in the Sea of Star Spirits actually knows that there's a Dark-star organization in the Shattered Star Ring, but you're just a Silver passing by. Even I, a mixed-blood Godora, didn't join Dark-star, and you still want to scare me? Do you think I'm easy to fool? "
Peggy regarded the Dark-star as a great pioneer of liberation. He had always wanted to join, but because the Dark-star was too mysterious, he did not have the chance to come in contact with it, which was a pity. If Dark-star gave the order, he was willing to lay down his life.
The Silvers were far away in the Sea of Star Spirits, so how could they have anything to do with Dark-star? How could he have grabbed the so-called 'emissary'? How could there be such a coincidence? It was nothing more than a scare tactic. Peggy had seen too many of them.
"Seeing how nervous you are, this bead should be a treasure. I'll take it."
Peggy put away the bead and planned to find someone to appraise it when he had time. He left the cell with his men and closed the door.
Outside the door, the subordinate licked his lips and said with a greedy face, "There has never been a Silver in the slave market of the Shattered Star Ring before. We'll definitely be able to sell them for a good price. We've made a fortune this time. Boss, who are we selling them to?"
"I've contacted the client," Peggy said. "We're going to Floating Dragon Island."
The subordinate's eyes widened. "That's that lord's territory!"
"The client this time is that guy's subordinate. He's very willing to pay." Peggy's lips curled up, and he walked away with a gloomy smile.
In the cell, the Silver was furious. He cursed, "Damn scavenger! Luckily, the Secret Message Bead needs a password to open. They can't take out the things inside … "
…
Star Zone 4, Planet Fawn-122.
This was an ownerless planet without any civilization. The Silvers who issued the mission stayed here. A large number of mercenary spaceships arrived on this deserted planet. All kinds of spaceships formed a formation, and in the middle was the Silver's travel spaceship.
Gashley's spaceship slowly landed. Han Xiao and the others walked out and looked around.
The formation was filled with people. Most of them were mercenaries in groups. The mission of the Silvers had attracted many famous mercenaries in the Shattered Star Ring.
Gashley led them to find the main force and came to a larger spaceship. Hundreds of Ring mercenaries gathered there. Han Xiao looked up. This spaceship also had the symbol of the Ring engraved on it.
"You're finally here." A tall woman in a blue hooded robe walked over.
Third-circle officer [Ice Mage]. Her real name was Goa. She was the leader of the Ring this time. She had light blue long hair, tall facial features, a cold temperament, and a hollow voice like ice. She was a Mage. Although Han Xiao could not feel the surging magic waves on her, he could feel the coldness coming from her.
"Looks like she's a Mage who specializes in the ice element," Han Xiao thought.
The Mage class was the same as the Mechanic class. They had a lot of knowledge and many styles. Ice Mages were very difficult to deal with. All kinds of slow, freeze, and stiff skills were very annoying.
Goa glanced at Gashley and saw Han Xiao and the others beside him. She frowned and asked, "Who are they?"
"Black Star Mercenary," Gashley said. "We just reached a cooperation agreement. They're here to help."
"Never heard of them." Goa shook her head.
Han Xiao did not mind. The Black Star Mercenary's fame was only in Juberly Hub. Compared to the Ring, his mercenary group was indeed not that impressive.
Goa thought they were just a bunch of followers. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. The senses of a Mage reminded her that she had met someone strong. She was shocked. Only then did she seriously size up Han Xiao and the others. She realized that two of them had very active cell energy.
"Two grade B Supers …" Goa's eyes changed slightly. Although grade B Supers were more common, they were not as common as cabbages. Even in the rings, grade B Supers were at least third-ring officers, and this mercenary group with only a few dozen people had two grade B Supers. The ratio was very high.
She was the only grade B in this team. The high-end combat power here was not even comparable to this mercenary group.
Goa looked away and said, "The Silvers hired many mercenaries, so they don't lack combat power. However, the situation is not good now … Since everyone is here, let's go over first. We'll talk on the way."
They walked toward the Silvers' spaceship, and Goa introduced the current situation.
The Silvers spent a lot of money to hire mercenaries to save their captured companions. They were indeed very generous. However, the mercenaries did not leave for a long time, so they were stuck at an awkward stage. No one knew the enemy's location, and the scavengers who attacked the Silvers were nowhere to be found. Therefore, no matter how many mercenaries gathered, it was useless.
This kind of mission with a lack of information was very troublesome. The mercenaries used all kinds of detection methods, but the scavengers had turned on the information block. They could not locate them, and they did not leave many clues when they committed the crime. Even if they knew that the scavengers had to sell the stolen goods, they did not know where they would go.
If this dragged on, their people would be sold. The surviving Silvers were very anxious and released a new request. If they could provide effective location information, they would give a generous bonus.
"Other than us, Blades and Purple Gold's people are here too. Purple Gold went to find the clairvoyant. Maybe he can find the enemy's location," Goa said.
The Blades Army and Purple Gold Army, two large mercenary armies on the same level as the Ring, were also active in the Shattered Star Ring. The reward for this mission was base salary plus bonus. The base salary was the base salary, and the mercenaries who saved the captives would be given a bonus several times the base salary by the Silvers. Therefore, in this mission, the mercenaries were comrades but also competitors.
Regular mercenaries competed fairly and would not drag each other down. Otherwise, it would affect their reputation.
Normally, when they could not locate the enemy, if they did not have more powerful detection equipment, the mystical foresight methods might be effective. The conditions to use abilities such as divination and foresight were very strict, and they needed very special talents. They were very rare.
Players could not awaken foresight Esper Abilities. Even if they could learn magic divination, they could only get very little information. It was very limited.
They met Blades' team halfway, and both sides walked together. Goa chatted casually with the team leader of Blades and walked in front.
The two large mercenary groups had their own uniforms, and those who knew each other talked. Han Xiao and the others were very conspicuous in the middle of the two groups of people. From time to time, people would look at this unknown mercenary group curiously.
"Who are they?"
"Seems to be the Ring's helpers, called something Black Star Mercenary. Not big in scale, not famous."
"Probably here to join in the fun."
The mercenaries around were whispering to each other, which made the players feel a little awkward. They felt out of place in this group, like they were outsiders being watched.
On the way, Han Xiao was thinking about what to do next. He did not know if Goa had plans to hire him, but he did not want to come here for nothing. It was not easy to come here, so how could he go back empty-handed?
Many famous mercenaries of the Shattered Star Ring have gathered on this planet. I came too late, and I don't have a good reputation. It seems like there's nothing for me to do.
Han Xiao thought to himself. This is something that I have never come into contact with before, so I have to act according to the situation.
While he was thinking, they came to the center of the formation. The appearance of the Silvers was displayed in front of them. Their skin was snow-white, and they had cute long antennae on their heads. They wore gorgeous clothes made of some unknown material that was soft and smooth. The lower half of their face was wearing an air filter mask.
This was the players' first time seeing a 'Universe Noble'. They looked left and right, but they did not see what was' noble 'about them. They felt like they were no different from the other weird looking galactic races.
"If a civilization is strong enough, the ruling race will naturally be nobles. Others will see their interests as the standard of nobles. This is a matter of class, and it has little to do with the quality of their individuals." Han Xiao patted Herlous' shoulder.
"Why are you patting me?" Herlous rolled his eyes. Regarding this topic, the Sunils did not want to talk to you.
The Silver captain was negotiating with the mercenaries. "I hope you can hurry up and save my friends. This has been delayed for too long. If you continue to slack off, you won't get any reward."
"We don't know where the enemy is, so all detection and tracking methods are useless," one of the mercenaries said. "You won't be able to give us any valuable information, so we can only wait for now. But don't worry, our friends have already gone to find a fortune teller. As long as you keep your promise and give the person who provides the information, I believe there will be a result soon."
"You people of the Shattered Star Ring are so greedy and barbaric," the Silver captain complained. "I hate this place. No matter what, I just want results. Money is not a problem."
