When the door of the manor opened slowly, the melodious violin music had drifted into Zero's ears. The tone of this piece made Zero feel familiar, and the name "Fantasy Rondo" was automatically recalled in his mind. Ling finds it strange that he has never heard any music played on the violin, at least when he woke up on the z7 base until now, this is the first piece he has ever heard played on the violin.

But he knew the name of this song, which was really strange. At the same time, I also know that the current tune is low and graceful, and it revolves sadly at the syllables, like a lover's whisper, but it is just the introduction and prelude to the whole tune. Next, the tone will fall like a maple leaf from the sky, with the taste of a noble salon. Furthermore, the Spanish style in the middle section is flexible and smooth, followed by the luxurious piano sound and a large section of fast-moving fast bow section, which will push the whole song to a climax. At that time, it is also the climax of the banquet. After that, the tune slowly falls back, the beginning and the end are connected, and the ending will come to an abrupt end, leaving people with unlimited guesses. The latest novel Baidu search ""

These weird "knowledge" flashed across his mind, and he didn't know how to master the art that these nobles would understand. But soon, the arrival of the waiter made Zero have no time to think deeply. After parking the car, Ling was led by the waiter and walked along the cobblestone-paved Gothic building in the depths of the manor. The latest novel Baidu search ""

Tonight, the black rose family’s manor is embellished with grandeur, which is different from the restrained atmosphere that Zero saw before, and it has a noble-style erosive luxury. The dinner party has already begun. The dinner hosted by the Black Rose's family is in the form of a buffet. This form is loved by the nobles, and the buffet form can liberate people from the rigid and rigid dining table.

People can dine and talk anywhere in the manor without being confined to one table.

After submitting the invitation, Zero was taken to a quiet hall. There is a luthier in the hall playing atmospheric but low-pitched music to match the soft light in the hall right now. This is different from the banquet outside the manor. Beyonce can invite Beyoncé to have a meal in this living room. Which one is not a sturdy figure in Asgart.

Speaking of it, Beyoncé has given enough face to Zero to be able to enter here.

In order to attend tonight's banquet, Ling found out the dress she wore at the last celebration banquet from the closet. This dress is well tailored and generous in style, so that Ling does not appear shabby when he stops in this hall full of rich and powerful gentry. It's just that these big people in the hall, the youngest middle-aged person in their thirties, a young man in his early twenties like Zero who stopped in the hall immediately attracted the attention of the guests.

Zero feels nothing. She just wanted to hire a servant and asked where Beyonce was, but she heard an old man’s voice and shouted happily, “Isn’t this Mr. Zero? It’s a rare opportunity to see you here. It’s a blessing to meet you ."

An old man with white beard, tall stature and blushing face greeted Zero. Zero didn't know who he was, but the old man stretched out his hand and patted his eyebrows and smiled: "Look, I'm so confused, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Mayblos Lambston. Inuzi Charles was rude to Mr. Zero and his subordinates that day. He always wanted to go to the house to apologize, but I heard that Mr. Zero was busy crustling a foreign race recently, and he didn’t return until recently, so I never met. I didn’t expect to be able to meet him tonight. Seeing Mr. Zero, Mr. Zero must have this drink with me."

Lingting This old man claimed to be Charles's father, and recalled that the current home of the Ranboston family was indeed named Meblos. Seeing the familiar face of Old Rose, and not mentioning that the leader of his guard was killed by himself, Ling felt unfathomable to the Patriarch of the Ranboston family.

He smiled and invited the waiter to hold up his arms of red wine, and greeted Mayblos: "This glass is for Mr. Mayblos, I wish Mr. May a long life, so that the Ramboston family will be glorious and lasting."

Meblos grinned and bumped into Zero's wine arms. The two looked at each other haha ​​and drank a glass of Chinese wine. At this time, a waiter came to Zero and whispered to inform Beyonce that she would like to ask. Lei Bian left, and when he walked away, the smile on Meblos's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a gloomy face. He, an old fox, couldn't understand what Zero had just said.

Zona’s greetings alluded to his son Charles’ incompetence, so there must be a figure like Mayblos in order for the Ranboston family to remain brilliant.

Meblos said softly: "You are a young man, let me see when you can be proud of it."

Naturally, Zero is unable to hear Meblos's words. Under the guidance of the waiter, Ling met Beyonce in an elegant room outside the hall.

Zero entered, and the waiter closed the room for the two with gentle movements. Tonight, Beyonce was still wearing the capable clothes she saw that day, and Ling looked at her strangely. Originally, her patron should be dressed in fancy dress. After all, this dinner was held by her.

Beyonce smiled and said: "I know that tonight's attire is a bit rude, but the dinner is just for outsiders, just to provide the necessary cover for some big people. The real main course is to have a meeting on the slavery plan. , All program participants must participate. Of course, including you."

Pointing towards Zero, Beyonce picked up a glass of fine wine on the table and said to Zero: "But before that, we have some time to taste the fine wine. You have to be prepared, and the next meeting will not be so leisurely. "

Zero smiled, noncommittal.

"By the way, I heard that you went to crusade against the Els a few days ago, and your work is going well." Beyonce asked casually, and toasted.

Zero replied: "Although there are some small episodes in the middle, it's still going well. After all, the level of civilization of the Els is not high, and my army uses weapons of the new era, so the victory comes without suspense."

"Really?" Beyonce said nonchalantly: "But how do I think you don't seem to be so happy to win."

After drinking this layer of amber liquid in his arms, Ling Jiaxue took a sip of flames. His handsome face flushed immediately, and he breathed out a breath of alcohol for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just my own problem."

"Anyway, if I have time now, do you want me to give you psychological counseling." Beyonce smiled: "I know very well that it's not so pleasant except for the special feeling of life, especially if we have A leader of conscience."

She increased the tone of the word "conscience" and made Ling look at the head of the Black Rose House in surprise.

Beyonce shrugged her shoulders lightly and said, "What? What's so strange about this. While exploring the wilderness, it means sweeping away the rest of the special life. The intelligent life like the Els should be killed by me personally. There are three or five of them. It was really uncomfortable at the beginning, but in order to survive, you can only do that."

Survive.

This is a realistic wording. Human beings need to survive, and the alien beasts and intelligent races also need to survive. The problem is that they are on the same planet as them. And when this planet does not appear to be particularly vast, in order to survive, some life becomes dust and it becomes inevitable.

This is the price of evolution.

He nodded and said: "I understand. And even if things happen again, I will still make the same decision. Survival of the fittest, there is nothing to say. If there is a big alien race, it will be human beings who are removed, which is normal. Things. It’s just that I’m thinking, is there no other way to survive besides killing?"

"This proposition is set a bit too big." Beyonce put down the wine glass, supporting her chin with one hand. The flat glasses reflect the yellow light in the elegant room. At this moment, Beyonce's eyes are hidden behind the reflection, making it difficult to see what she is thinking at the moment.

After a while, she continued: “It’s better to leave these problems to scholars, but it’s not necessarily a good thing that you think so now. Trying to think about the problem from a different perspective, and finally solve the problem, is every time. The qualities that a superior must possess. As a superior, we have to face many problems and the complexity of the situation far exceeds everything we have to face when we are fighters."

"The problem faced by soldiers is very simple, that is, they are trying their best to kill their opponents. But this is not the case for the superior. Although the ultimate goal is to defeat the opponent, in the process, sometimes we even need to join forces with our enemy. To solve problems. Principles are not well reflected in us. Principles can be given up for the benefit. The only thing we can stick to is probably the bottom line in our heart." Beyonce used He said in a sighing tone.

Feeling a little bit, she looked at Beyonce who looked like a two-year-old. It is difficult for Zero to imagine how much responsibility and sacrifice she has to bear on her slender shoulders to go all the way to the present.

To be sure, it must be hardship beyond zero imagination.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Get ready, it's time for the meeting." Beyonce straightened her body, and at this moment, the faint weakness before that was swept away. What greeted Zero was the capable Black Rose Patriarch again.

The meeting room of Black Rose's house is very large, with a square of 500 meters. However, there were very few people attending the meeting, only seven or eight people. When such a small number of people are put into the meeting room, the space is very spacious. In addition to the opening of Zero and Beyoncé, there were also two elderly people and three or four young men and women attending the meeting. Only the two old men can get a seat at the main table, and the young men who should be juniors sit in the back row to show the distinction.

To everyone's surprise, at this main table, Zero was also given a seat.

The expressions of the two old men were as usual, even smiling, looking at Zero with admiration. But Zero knew that these things were just pretends. Behind the two men's gazes, there was something else hidden. And those young people were not so calm. One of them was handsome and with long hair stood up and protested: "Dear Miss Beyonce, I thought it was our Asgart three tonight. A private meeting of a big wealthy family. But I don’t know, it turns out that there is a third party attending. I don’t know, this gentleman is your new favorite."

A cold light flashed in Ling's eyes and looked at this arrogant man awe-inspiringly. The young man's eyes flickered first, and he retreated. But when she seemed to think of something, she held on to meet Zero's gaze without giving up.

At this time, Beyonce said indifferently: "All the participants in this meeting are participants in the slave arrest plan. This gentleman is zero. Currently, he is my partner and a participant in this operation. , Is not my new favorite. Mr. Habes, next time you pay attention to your words, as a woman, I am far less generous than your father. Are you right, Mr. Austin."

Sitting on Beyonce's right, the old man with a mustache smiled slightly: "You are already very tolerant, Miss Beyonce."

He said coldly, "Habes, get out of here now."

"Father!"

Habes looked at his father, not believing that he would help outsiders. Just listen to Austin lightly saying: "I don't want to say it a second time."

Habes then glanced at Beyoncé angrily, glared again, and then walked away. As a result, the already empty conference room became more spacious.

Zero lowered his head. Apart from him, the remaining three people at the main table are all heavyweights in Asgartri. Of course, Beyonce's weight must be at the bottom. As for the two old people, Austin was the head of the Helburn family, and his second son, Habes, was sent away. Hearing that the elder Austin liked this second son very much, and deliberately changed the name of the heir in the line, so that the eldest son of the Helburn family, Norcriland, had a slight comment on this, and split into two factions. But the Helburn family is still in power by the old Austin, as long as he doesn't fall for a day, the family can't really be divided.

For such things, it is very common among the rich. Human beings are always keen on fighting for power. And according to the evaluation of old Austin in the market, this old man who likes to play power can not guarantee that this situation was not caused by him deliberately, so it may be convenient to control the family members.

As for the fat old man sitting on Beyonce's left, it was Charlotte, the head of the Planning family. Charlotte looked like a loving, good-natured benevolent person, and his fat face always had a spring-like smile on his face. A pair of eyes narrowed into a thin slit for many years, making him always look like he was smiling. But Ling could see that when those fine eyes opened and closed, there was a lot of icy light inside.

Those who have this look must have a cold heart. In fact, the Plannings, who are engaged in the military industry, continue to explore the wilderness every year. As for how many species or refugees died in the hands of this fat fox during the exploration process, it is unknown.

It is said that the hands of the superiors are stained with blood. Compared with Charlotte and Austin, the blood stained by Beyonce is undoubtedly the lightest. As she said, although she can sacrifice her principles, she still has a bottom line. As for the two in front of them, I am afraid that their interests are their bottom line.

"Okay, several people. If there is nothing else, I will announce the start of the meeting." Beyonce stood up and placed the frame of the flat glasses with her fingers. She stretched out her fingers and pressed a few virtual buttons on her desk. Down. It looks like a table made of nanmu, but it gives out a flash of light. After a command was typed, a row of laser projectors appeared on the edge of the wooden table.

The laser projector shoots out cyan rainbow lights, and they continuously interweave a three-dimensional topographic map in the air. But in the blink of an eye, the vast topographic map of a mountainous area appeared in everyone's eyes. Beyonce stretched out her hand and pressed it on the topographical map. Through continuous rotation and expansion, she finally adjusted to a suitable picture. In this picture, there is a small town on the east side.

The town is not big, but the facilities are basically complete. Although the three-dimensional topographic map has been reduced by a certain percentage, everyone can still see clearly that there are concrete high walls built around the town. There are eight guard towers on all sides, and it is hard to see what weapons are inside. The town is centered on a small assembly square, and the building is paved on all sides. Two roads neatly intersect at the assembly square, dividing the town neatly into four areas.

The buildings in the town are mostly low-rise bungalows, and to the west is a row of shanty towns, which should be the slums of the town. On the east side, there stands a church-like building, which is the tallest building in the town.

"This is Pavaric. It is located in a mountainous area 35 kilometers south of the frosty forest. It basically lives in isolation. The economic system of the town is mainly to produce fur. There are many excellent hunters in the town. There is no shortage of low-level abilities. They go into and out of the edge of the frosty forest, hunting and selling the fur of low-level mutant beasts. Every year there are adventurous merchants to buy in the town, which can be said to be very profitable. But in fact, the fur business is not enough. It's just a surface cover, their real business is black gold!" Beyonce said in a deep voice.

Immediately, there were several air-conditioning sounds behind Ling. But the two old men on the main table were unmoved, but Austin's right thumb began to unconsciously rotate the ruby ​​ring of the index finger, while Charlotte's eyes opened a little, and there was a greedy light inside.

Black gold, or oil, is called the heart of the planet. After the cataclysm, the global environment and climate have changed drastically, and now there is no half a drop of oil in places where oil wells used to be. This is the result of the change of the continental plate, and the direction of the veins is no longer familiar to mankind. The danger of the wilderness, the Mozhi region has become a forbidden place for life, making human activities very limited.

This has caused difficulties in exploration, and even if it is inclined to the development of new energy sources, oil is still the most common efficient combustion in the mainland. Because the price is comparable to gold, it is called black gold.

Beyonce is also a shrewd master, and the subtle reactions of Austin and Charlotte can't escape her eyes. She was very satisfied with the emotional expressions of these two big figures, so Beyonce continued to throw her bait: "Of course~lightnovelpub.net~Pavaric didn’t own an oil well, but a The foreign races traded with them for barter. Pavaric made huge profits from it. This information was discovered by my people accidentally, and then spied out by pretending to be an adventurer. Then, please see here. ."

With the stroke of Beyonce's slender hand, the map immediately moved, and the movement stopped when the sign floating in the void prompted to cut diagonally to the southwest for about 12 kilometers. Appearing in the eyes of everyone is a corner of the silver frost dense forest, with ancient trees standing and undulating mountains, and there is nothing special about it. However, as Beyoncée grabbed the palm of her hand and lifted it up, the horizontal line of the map immediately rose, and part of the underground structure was shown in the eyes of everyone.

So in the eyes of Zero, the outline of an underground city is represented in a three-dimensional picture with simple lines.

"This, what is this?" Austin couldn't help it any more, stood up and bent his body to look in.

"This is an undocumented alien race. Gentlemen, they live underground like the legendary dwarves, and they have built dungeons on a considerable scale. My people have infiltrated the dungeons, but only sent a rough outline. The outline of the city disappeared without a trace, which shows that they have perfect armed forces." Beyonce spread her hands and said, "I call them the underground races, and they are the target of this slave capture plan!"
