Ames seemed to be a little disappointed. She waved her hand and told Wilsander to deal with it before floating away.
The mercenaries were shocked. What's going on? One second, they were yelling about killing, and the next second, Black Star is on the enemy's side. What are we going to do? Are we still on the same side?
"How come I don't know about you?" Herlous said. "Are you lying to her?"
"There are a lot of things you don't know," Han Xiao said calmly. "She's a pinnacle expert. How can she be tricked so easily?"
"Same here." Herlous agreed. Even he would not be tricked, not to mention the famous [Dragon Emperor] in the Shattered Star Ring.
The guards walked up and took the people of the three mercenary groups away. Before Goa was taken away, she moved closer to Han Xiao and said, "We're locked up. Only you can move freely. Now that you've become Ames' subordinate, try to convince them to let the Silvers go. Only you can complete this mission."
Then, the people of the three mercenary groups were taken away. Porter and Cerleni winked at Han Xiao, telling him to act according to the situation.
The three mercenary groups were all wiped out. Although they did not know why Han Xiao suddenly became Ames' subordinate, Han Xiao was the only one who could move. He was electricity, he was light, he was the hope of Goat Village!
The Silvers will depend on you, brother!
Wilsander walked up and told everyone to follow him. They left the hall and went to another tall building.
"Don't worry, since Ames recruited you, you're our colleague. Ames treats her subordinates quite well, so you don't have to worry. I'll take you to see the Head Butler. She'll arrange your positions," Wilsander said with enthusiasm.
Han Xiao nodded. He obviously knew the pros and cons of being Ames' subordinate. Most of her subordinates were random, and she only had three important subordinates. One was the Head Butler who was in charge of daily affairs, who was Ames' cousin. The second was the logistics manager who protected Floating Dragon Island, a skilled Mechanic. The last one was the guard captain in front of him, Wilsander, who looked weak but used to be a pirate.
The three of them had their own positions and were Ames' most capable subordinates. They had the title 'Floating Dragon Trio'. In Han Xiao's previous life, most of the players who came to Floating Dragon Island received missions from the three of them.
Han Xiao spoke to Wilsander in a friendly tone. He had some understanding of Wilsander, so they quickly became close.
After chatting for a while, Wilsander could not hold back his curiosity. He suddenly grabbed Han Xiao's shoulder, put his head together, and said, "Hey, Black Star, that person you just saw … what's his relationship with Ames?"
"I've only seen him once. How would I know?" Han Xiao's eyebrows twitched. "You seem to have some thoughts about Ames …"
Wilsander was not embarrassed at all. He laughed heartily and said, "Haha, although she never agreed to my pursuit, my handsomeness and bravery will move her heart sooner or later."
Handsomeness … Han Xiao looked at him carefully and said, "According to the aesthetics of the Demon Race, you're not a typical handsome guy."
In fact, that person was not Ames' lover but her teacher. In the eyes of the players, that person was a mysterious businessman. If they met by chance, other than buying things, there was a chance to trigger a message mission, just like what Han Xiao did. That person did not want to see her, and he did not lie to Ames. In fact, he even let Ames know about this earlier, so she did not have to wait.
Ames' past was very mysterious. In fact, it was not because of her background, but because her birth was too ordinary. She was originally an ordinary girl who was abandoned by her family at a young age. She was adopted by her teacher and awakened her Esper ability. She learned from her teacher and built her foundation. Later, her teacher left for some reason, leaving behind a promise to continue encouraging Ames — when she became famous in the universe, he would come back to find her. However, after Ames became where she was today, there was no news of her teacher, so Han Xiao took advantage of the loophole.
They came to a tall building. This was the official business center of Floating Dragon Island, dealing with all kinds of daily affairs and business activities. The group arrived at the top floor. This was a large office, and there were more than ten assistants frantically dealing with matters. The head butler sat behind the table and read through documents. This was an ordinary-looking woman. She was Ames' cousin and her true confidant.
"Jenny, these are our new companions. Give them positions," Wilsander said as soon as he walked in.
The head butler, Jenny, did not even raise her head. She continued reading the documents and said concisely, "Name, ability." She spoke very quickly, as if she did not want to waste a second.
"Black Star, Mechanic, Grade B …" Han Xiao said, and the players learned it.
As soon as they finished, Jenny replied immediately, "Black Star, report to the logistics manager. They are lacking powerful Mechanics. The rest of you will join the guards. Your information has been recorded, and the uniforms and badges will be sent to you in two days."
The players became guards, and he became logistics. His Mechanic level was just what the logistics manager needed, so he did not have any objections to this arrangement. However, he was separated from the players, which meant that both sides had to act separately. This was when the role of an officer came into play.
After leaving the building, Han Xiao said, "Herlous, lead the team temporarily and protect them. Don't let them do anything rash."
"I know, don't worry." Herlous nodded solemnly. "You too."
Since he could not leave, he would let Herlous lead the team to ensure that the players would not be without a leader. However, other than a few players who liked to seek death, most of the players were more stable. Although they were shocked by the sudden change in the situation, they believed in Han Xiao and would take it one step at a time.
"Haha, I will take care of your team and let them form their own team." Although Wilsander was skinny and gloomy, he was actually very straightforward. After the conversation earlier, he and Han Xiao had a good impression of each other, so he decided to help him.
…
The logistics work of Floating Dragon Island was to maintain the various floating island devices. Han Xiao came to the logistics department alone. This was a huge high-tech workshop with the least number of people in it out of the three departments.
As Han Xiao entered the door, a large insect-like creature with six arms and two legs walked out. What was special about this creature was that it was wearing a Mechanic's outfit …
"You must be Black Star. Welcome. We are really short on manpower, and we finally have a new Mechanic." This insect-like creature was the logistics manager, a type of insect-like intelligent creature. It spoke in a squeaky voice, which was translated into an old human voice through a translator. His name was Haier.
Haier was a high-level Mechanic who had worked for Ames for many years.
Han Xiao had only joined for a short time, but he had already met the three important managers of Floating Dragon Island. From this, it could be seen how casual Ames was in recruiting subordinates. The head manager was her cousin Jenny, the guard captain was Wilsander, who used to be a great pirate and demon hybrid. The logistics manager was even an insect-like creature.
"The logistics work is to maintain the Floating Dragon Island's thrusters, anti-gravity devices, ecological cycle devices, and drilling harvesters. Sometimes, we also build and repair aircraft and spaceships …" Although Haier looked ferocious, he was very kind. After understanding the work, he brought Han Xiao around the logistics department.
After looking around, Han Xiao was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the logistics staff not a hard job, but it was also very beneficial to him. He could come into contact with all the machinery of Floating Dragon Island. He had the interface, so he could derive the blueprints of some of the machinery! Furthermore, the biggest benefit was that the material warehouse was open to the logistics staff. Apart from repairing, no one would ask if they built their own things in private. It was the default logistics benefit. There were many very rare materials, such as the bones of the Void Dragon race …
After going through the procedures, Han Xiao was officially part of the team.
For a few days, he followed Haier around to familiarize himself with the work, and he was quickly accepted by the other colleagues as a member. The players' side was also very smooth. Most of the Floating Dragon Guards were ordinary people, and Herlous led the players to form a team. The other guards did not dare to mess with them. After a few missions, they slowly adapted to the change in identity, turning from outsiders to Floating Dragon Island's enforcers.
…
Slave market …
The Silvers were captured, and Horlaide was very excited. He had been looking for customers these few days, and a few big customers had secretly offered him a price. He was not satisfied with the price and was still negotiating.
At this time, Horlaide received a communication request from Peggy.
"Haha, you're still alive," Horlaide joked.
"I almost lost my life." Peggy's voice was hoarse. He had been severely injured by Han Xiao and escaped at the last moment. After getting through the situation, he gathered the rest of his men and returned to the spaceship. He called this time to ask for money. "I've handed the Silvers to you. When are you going to give me my reward?"
"What reward?"
Peggy frowned. "What do you mean? Are you going back on your word?"
"No, no, no," Horlaide said slowly. "You have to understand that your goods were stolen by those mercenaries. These goods don't belong to you anymore. You didn't give them to me, and I took them back. So, why should I give you money?"
Peggy's face was gloomy. He hung up and cursed, "Profiteer!"
The Silvers were the most valuable goods. Horlaide had taken advantage of him, and he knew that he could not get them back. He had been beaten up and lost the goods, so there was nothing he could do no matter how angry he was. The rule of survival for criminals was the law of the jungle. Even if Horlaide denied it, he could only accept that he was unlucky.
"Those bastard mercenaries!" Compared to Horlaide, the mercenaries were the biggest reason. Peggy hated the mercenaries even more. He clenched his teeth and smashed the communicator.
Just as Peggy was sulking, an inconspicuous spaceship stopped at the harbor beside him.
