Transcendent Journey

The night is dim, only the dim starlight flickers.

Boom——

A box full of goods fell heavily on the dock.

“Idiot, be careful, if you break the goods, be careful I peel your skins!”

“Sorry, sorry, we will pack it right away!”

In “Newin Harbor” at night, there are still many ships still operating. I don’t know which Chamber of Commerce’s stevedore had a problem, which caused a curse from the steward.

It also caused a commotion among some people in the dark…

Different from Gabriel, which is only a dual-purpose military and merchant, the situation here is much more complicated than the previous one.

As the headquarters of the Falitis Kingdom Adventurers Association and the Sea Hunter Union, “Newin Harbor” also accepts various people from all directions with different backgrounds, as well as navigators, explorers, and sea hunters. , Speculators and even the “priceless and unique rare treasure” brought back by down-and-out seafarers.

The staff is complex, the wealth is moving, and the turmoil from time to time is the norm here.

At this time.

An expedition ship with a lot of damage and apparently experienced a thrilling journey, slowly docked on the berth under the guidance of the navigator.

Bang——

The ship hasn’t stopped, crash-bang. A group of dozens of people rushed down from the ship, hurriedly walking, as if there was something behind them. It’s the same as catching up.

After briefly contacting the port staff.

This group of people quickly disappeared into the darkness under the leadership of a connector who had been waiting on the dock.

Although the port staff were surprised by the behavior of these people, they didn’t think much about it. There are more and more mavericks in this city, and they don’t have such a strong curiosity to go to the bottom. .

As long as the management fee is paid on time, they can go wherever they like.

……

“Todd, how is the buyer you contacted? We must dispose of this item as soon as possible.” The muscular man in the long trench coat strode to the star while asking the connector next to him.

“Boss Stanley, I have already contacted you, and the agreed time is tomorrow night.” Todd, a shrewd man with short hair, approached the boss and replied quietly.

“Aren’t they local forces? Can’t they trade right away? Why wait until tomorrow night?”

He spit out a series of rhetorical questions.

At the same time, the middle age person, known as the boss of Stanley, glanced behind him unconsciously, and he was holding a box tightly wrapped in black cloth.

“We violated the request of the entrusting party, did not hand it over to the designated person, and took such a big risk, can they not work around it?”

Obviously that The contents of the box put him under a lot of pressure, and his voice has lost its former calmness.

“Boss, no. There is more than one force who wants this item. The buyer with the highest bid said that they must find a way to quickly transport it after receiving the item. Even the local tyrant needs to arrange it. Road, tomorrow night is already the fastest time.

If they can’t guarantee the absolute safety of things, they would rather not!”

Todd bit his face to his boss Explain that this is the result of his best efforts, but he can’t help it if time is too tight.

In fact, Stanley was not in a hurry. Although he accepted the commission to deliver the things to the designated personnel, it is as simple as drinking water and eating for him to violate the contract and sell it for a price. No need to care about the employer’s request.

However, that box, that wicked box, has undergone a weird change when the agreed deadline arrives.

He swears that he has been a sea hunter for a lifetime, and he can be considered experienced and knowledgeable. He has been exposed to a lot of weird and strange things, but he has never seen such an evil thing.

This box…it has its own consciousness!

It’s not muddleheaded low-level monsters, but the kind of organized, clear thinking and flexible wisdom. Yes, Stanley thinks it can only be described by wisdom!

Wisdom can naturally communicate with people, but the process of communication is obviously not that wonderful. Thinking back to everything that happened at that time, the temperament, which has been flying across the sea with Stanley for many years, couldn’t help but fight two battles.

Because it seems to be the master of aloof and remote, or the maker of rules of the game, it puts forward its very strange and absurd requirements, which is what it calls rules of the game.

The holder must act according to the rules it proposes, otherwise it will eat a living person every twelve hours! Until the sea hunters on the boat are eaten up!

Faced with the threat of the box, everyone snort disdainfully at first.

But after that, even if the power of the entire team is assembled, this small box can’t be blocked, destroyed, or thrown away. It almost eats up eight of them with no resistance. companion.

They compromised.

From the moment the task deadline expires, people like myself have become servants of this box.

Stanley even had a crazy idea that there may not be any client from beginning to end. It is simply this weird box that is directing and performing itself.

Up to now, after repeated trials of blood and flesh, the two sides have been able to barely coexist.

He feels that only by finding another wave of voluntary acceptance and handing it over can they really get rid of this thing, and after making a huge sacrifice, they really can’t bear the big deal promised by the buyer. Lion.

“Quick, quick, time is up, change quickly!”

In the team behind him, a youngster who is holding a pocket watch for timekeeping suddenly screamed, and a silhouette hearing this quickly moved from the team Rushed out to take the box.

The companion, such as the amnesty, who was holding the box, quickly backed away, as if it was not a box, but a large-yield alchemy bomb.

The person who took over is not selfless. If this ghost goes out of control, everyone who has shared a boat with it will be unlucky. The dozens of former companions who have not even left bones have proved Up to this point.

Now everyone can only expect that the boss can find a way to find the next home, trade it out, and get rid of this terrifying box at the same time, if he can get a large amount of Golden Lion, it would be great. .

This is also the original motivation for them to actively cooperate.

The rules of the game proposed by the box today is that the holder must be in a state of constant movement. If the holder does not change, every whole point needs to meet a requirement of the box.

Either answer a question or do a trivial thing, the difficulty of the event will gradually increase, and if it fails to meet the requirements, it will directly swallow it…

Just after the shift was completed, the box made the sound of the winding gears turning.

“Takota…”

After that, it resembled a music box and an aria, in short, with the indescribable gloomy and cold aura from it: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh , It’s a shame to be avoided by you!”

The box made a dissatisfaction sound, and the sea hunters around it were all in a cold sweat.

Hearing that crippling voice, even though he was already an official Knight at the transcender level, Stanley couldn’t help but shudder.

“Regardless of the damn buyer, Todd first find us a safe place to live.”

“No problem, boss, it’s ready, follow me Come on.”

Todd bowed and agreed, while concealing the flashing rays of light in his eyes by bowing his head.

Be the first to lead the way away from the bustling and noisy port area, and lead the entire group toward the quiet and empty factory area in the dead of night.
