Chapter 144: Windfall

  Chapter 144 Windfall

   It didn't take Duanmuhuai too much time to deal with these pirates.

   After all, whether it is him or the Night Guard, the main enemies are chaos and demons. Compared with this kind of dilapidated three-star thief, basically as long as they make a move, they will definitely win. Even those pirates who broke into the merchant ships were all killed mercilessly by the night guards.

  Duanmu Huai interrogated the trembling star bandit leader who almost peed his pants in fright, but he was speechless and found that this group of pirates was really not that good. Just like the corridor in disrepair that Duanmuhuai saw before, the pirates in the entire fleet could not be more poor. Perhaps this Holy Grail is the most valuable thing they have.

   In addition, they also imprisoned a group of indigenous slaves they captured from various planets in the battleship, most of them were humans, and there were a small number of alien races. And according to the confession of the star bandit leader, the reason why he attacked the merchant ship was to seize the goods and food—their rations were not even enough for the crew to eat.

   It can be seen that this group of pirates is really miserable.

  Sent two night guards and the leader of the star bandits to check the goods and prisoners below. Duanmuhuai sat on a chair and sighed helplessly. This group of pirates is really too cool. In his opinion, there is no challenge at all. It would be more fun if they had black bean sprouts...

"Your Mightiness."

   At this moment, Duanmuhuai saw a night guard walking in, and bowed respectfully to himself.

   "The captain of the Risk Assessment would like to see you."

   "Meet me? All right."

Duanmuhuai didn't think much, just nodded. Soon, he saw that he was wearing a mink coat, a majestic figure, a **** fur hat, and a mustache around his mouth. He looked like a Looking like a shrewd and capable businessman, looking at Duanmuhuai sitting on the command chair, the man was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale, he reached out to take off his hat, put it respectfully on his chest, and lowered his head.

"It's a great honor to meet you, Your Excellency the Great Inquisitor. I am the captain of the Risk Assessment, Dardanelle Solas. Thank you and your subordinates for saving us from danger. If not for everyone's coming, I'm afraid this time I..."

   "Okay, there is no need to say more polite words."

   Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

   "Well, I want to make a deal with you."

   "Deal... eh??"

   "Exactly."

   Duanmuhuai nodded.

   "I can sell you this battleship, and you just need to give me some goods in exchange."

To be honest, Duanmu Huai was completely disappointed with the ship after checking the internal situation of the Holy Grail class. Only one-tenth of the weapon system was able to function, and even the void shield generator was broken. The life-support equipment is basically old. To be honest, this Holy Grail class is a real gold and jade. It has time to repair it. Duanmuhuai might as well build one by himself in the empty dock!

   "You don't plan to keep this battleship?"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Dardanelle was obviously a little surprised. Although he also saw that the interior of the ship was not very good, but for this era, any warship is almost an incomparable treasure. After all, after the destruction of the human empire, there are fewer and fewer places that can manufacture large warships. Even if only the shell of such a warship is complete, as long as it can still fly, it is the best for any businessman in the interstellar world. Good goods!

"not going to."

   Of course Duanmuhuai doesn’t need it, he can make it himself, why waste this time?

   "So... what do you want?"

   "Interesting, rare, mysterious, whatever pleases me."

   Having said this, Duanmuhuai narrowed his eyes and stared at Dardanelle below. This is why he met Dardanelle and proposed a deal. These rogue traders who walk in the universe will always have some strange items in their hands, and there are many holy items among them. If Duanmuhuai can get a few holy items from Dardanelle to convert them into building points, it will be comparable to a ship. The Holy Grail is much more valuable.

   Not to mention, many holy objects are quite useful, such as the gravity gloves currently used by Duanmu Huai is one of them. Basically, for players, a good holy object can even span several versions without fading.

   As for whether the captain is willing, Duanmuhuai thinks it is not a problem. Because most of the sacred objects are things that can only be used by judges, space fighters or psykers, just like Duanmuhuai's Thunder Hammer, although he can hold the sweep with one hand, but in the hands of ordinary people, four You may not even be able to lift your hands.

In the hands of ordinary people, this kind of thing is either regarded as a treasure at the bottom of the box, or it is simply enshrined as a symbol of faith-well, the premise is that they do not enshrine some sacred objects of evil gods or rebel war groups, otherwise Duanmu Huai Time to discuss loyalty with them.

  At that time, it was unknown whether it was the star robber or Duanmu Huai who was the greater threat to these businessmen.

"this…………"

   Facing Duanmuhuai's request, Dardanelle obviously hesitated, but soon, he nodded.

   "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

   After saying this, Dardanelle saluted Duanmuhuai respectfully, then turned and left. At this time, the leader of the Star Bandit was already under the **** of the two night guards, and walked back dejectedly again. Soon, one of the night guards handed over the list to Duanmu Huai.

   "Is this all the captives?"

   "Yes, sir."

"Um………"

  Duanmu Huai glanced at the parchment written in Low Gothic, it showed that most of the captives were human, and the rest were some low-level alien races not much stronger than Ogryn... huh?

  However, at this moment, Duanmu Huai suddenly discovered a special term from the list.

   "Psyker?"

  He raised his head in surprise and looked at the leader of the Star Bandits.

   "You guys actually caught a psyker? Where is he?"

To be honest, Duanmuhuai really doubts whether this group of people has this ability. After all, in the ordinary world, psychics are basically superpowers or mages. With this kind of star thief, they can really catch a Psyker? Did he think they were the Custodians or the Silent Sisters?

   "Big, my lord, spare me!"

  Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the leader of the star bandits was too scared to lie on the ground and dare not get up.

   "We don't know if it's a psyker, but we heard that the family has been a psyker for generations, so we caught it... Besides, that kid does have some weird powers..."

   "What about people?"

   "Uh... right next to your chair..."

"Um?"

  Duanmuhuai glanced at the side of the chair, only to find a thin and short figure curled up in the shadow of the chair, who seemed to have fallen into a coma—it was probably frightened by Duanmuhuai's aura of fear just now.

   "I'm going to..."

  Duanmuhuai stretched out a hand, lifted the short figure up like a kitten, and stared at him carefully. This is a child. Judging from the unkempt appearance, it is obvious that the child has not washed for a long time. In fact, the child is just covered with a dirty rag, and the neck is tied like a pet. Chains, eyes covered with a white rag, looks skinny and very pitiful.

  However, what Duanmuhuai cared about was not this problem, but when he focused his eyes on this kid, he also saw the information that appeared above the other person's head.

  [Astropath (LV20) is rare]

   Turns out to be an astropath!

  Seeing this, Duanmu Huai was also taken aback.

  This is really rare!

  The so-called astropath is equivalent to the human transmitter of a battleship. To put it simply, during the empire period, every warship would have an astropath, and their task was to obey the captain's order, condense their thoughts, send them out from the subspace, and send them to another warship. In the brain of the astropath—well, that’s right, the long-distance communication between the human empires was accomplished through this kind of superpower telepathy.

   It's just that this method is basically not used now. After all, the astropath is easily polluted by the subspace when transmitting information. Maybe she heard the whisper of an evil god. And the information itself will also produce errors during the transmission process. Just like the famous "speech game experiment", even if a group of people stand in line in a room and quietly pass what they hear to the people behind, there will be errors in the last one.

   Not to mention the method of astropaths who want to spread information across galaxies. When a message arrives, only God knows how far it is from the original meaning.

  However, this does not mean that astropaths are useless in the player era.

  Astropaths can sense information from the Warp, and as we all know, the Warp has no concept of time. In other words, when astropaths receive a message, it may be from the past hundreds of thousands of years ago, or it may be from the future hundreds of thousands of years later.

  So simply speaking, the signal received by the astropaths is either too late or too early. As for things like arriving on time... Hehe, I'd better ask the emperor to bless you.

  The premise is that the old man is still alive.

However, this is very useful for players, because the ability of astropaths is extremely useful when used to explore space hulks or some dead worlds... and players are just good at digging graves and exploring The ruins are of most interest.

  As a soul walker, Duanmuhuai naturally needs the guidance of an astropath, so it will be more convenient to find ruins and soul cards, right?

  This is really a surprise.

I have to say, Duanmuhuai really didn't expect that in such a three-star bandit, he could still get such a treasure, which is already considered a considerable harvest for him, but what Duanmuhuai didn't expect was that after that, The equipment that Dardanelle sent up also surprised him to some extent.

   There are three pieces of equipment sent by Dardanelle, a chainsaw sword, a bright red power fist that seems to be stained with blood, and a plasma pistol.

   Moreover, none of them are ordinary products.

  【Alien Death】【Crimson Fist】【Left Hand of Justice】

   "Hiss..."

  Seeing this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but gasp inwardly. You must know that these three sacred objects are widely circulated among players.

  [Alien Death] This chainsaw sword belongs to the specialization against aliens. It can be said to be a super weapon for killing aliens and demons. The [Crimson Fist] is the equipment of the Terminator. In addition to its huge power, there are rumors that whenever the [Crimson Fist] kills the enemy, its energy field will become more and more bright red— — as if stained red with the blood of the enemy.

  So the player also suspects that this thing might have something to do with the God of Tyranny...

As for the [Left Hand of Justice] this plasma gun itself is not very powerful, but it has a special ability - it is rumored that the mechanical priest who made this plasma pistol made precise prayers for the cooling and reliability of this plasma pistol, So the gun is almost indestructible.

  Because of this gun, there was a joke among players that the so-called "righteous plasma never overheats".

  Seeing this, Duanmu Huai looked suspiciously at Dardanelle in front of him.

   Could it be that your ancestors have something to do with those **** ducks that the thieves never leave?
