Dragon Gate Swordsman

While discussing these things, the two men left the gate of the ore processing plant.
There are still many infected people gathered outside looking in and watching, perhaps wanting to see if this job is reliable, but they don’t know that the specific benefits brought by these minerals cannot be seen.
Ilona still had things to do, so she said goodbye and left quickly. Chongxiao also called Wei Yanwu and told him that the accuracy of the identification of the first batch of ore exceeded expectations.
However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a light Victorian voice.
"I didn't expect this place...it's no different from Ursus."
Ursus? A place where the infected are not considered human beings?
Chongxiao felt very unhappy... He had spent a long time thinking hard to find a way to help the infected live a good life, so how could he be confused with the cannibalistic Ursus?
He turned and walked directly towards the Kuranta man who was shaking his head and sighing.
"Isn't this a bit biased?"
"Hmm? Excuse me, who are you?"
"Chongxiao, from Longmen, I have shares in this ore processing plant. Did you just say that this place is the same as Ursus?"
"…I'm sorry. I just didn't mean it."
The Kuranta seemed to realize his slip of the tongue and apologized directly, but Chongxiao could easily tell that the other party was just too lazy to cause trouble.
However, looking at the dusty attire and calm temperament of this Kuranta man, as well as the prismatic shield on his back, he should be a traveling warrior... Many practitioners on the Terra continent who want to improve themselves will choose such a life.
Especially the infected who are not welcome anywhere.
"Are you also infected? Are you new to Longmen?"
"……Yes."
Chongxiao immediately started thinking. It happened that Ilona’s security team had only a few people. Should he try to recruit some for her?
"Is it convenient to talk?"
He held out his right hand, "If you have time."
The Kuranta was a little surprised and confused, but hesitantly reached out his hand and shook his hand.
"Well... okay, I'm Ma... please call me Yaoguang, Mr. Chongxiao."
Chapter 66 Suspicion, Azazel
Chongxiao admitted that he was a person who liked... to put it nicely, he was someone who wanted to recruit people, but to put it bluntly, he was someone who wanted to poach people.
In front of him was the Syracuse exile Celinina Texas, in the back was the daughter of the Great Flame City official family Huang Xinglan, and in the back was the wandering scholar Kanelian from the Sargon Desert Tribe. He wanted to bring them all back to the Guards to expand the team.
It’s a pity that Huang Xinglan was unlucky and was infected with oripathy, and she didn’t want to stay in Dayan, otherwise Chongxiao would definitely be able to bring her to the Guard Bureau as well.
Of course, this idea is not without bottom line. For a martial arts fanatic like Huai Tianpei, whose brains are filled with muscles, no matter how outstanding his strength is, there is no desire to recruit him.
And now, Chongxiao has set his sights on the Kuranta woman opposite him...
But before that, he had to change the other party's view about the ore processing plant.
"First of all, we are not exploiting the labor of the infected. Identifying ores does not require physical energy."
Chongxiao explained righteously: "As for energy, that is inevitable, but at least we can ensure that all infected people receive the medical care they deserve."
The Kuranta named Yaoguang stared at him intently, as if he was watching a liar demonstrating false advertising.
"What? Don't believe it?"
"No, I respect people like you."
What do you mean by that dry tone!?
The corners of Chongxiao's eyes twitched slightly...Except for the content of the other party's words, every part of his body expressed denial.
With this kind of performance, how can I even talk about recruiting people to join my gang?
In desperation, Chongxiao had to "find another way out" and see if he could start from a more practical approach and trick the other party into joining the infected security team organized by Ilona.
"You are from Casimir, right?"
"Yes."
"A knight?"
For a moment, Yaoguang's expression relaxed, as if he was a little sad and nostalgic, but he quickly recovered.
Chongxiao, who thought he had sharp observation skills, immediately deduced that she must be a person with a story... Combined with her respectful and polite behavior after sitting down in the tea restaurant, it was obvious that she had a certain background, at least she was not a child from an ordinary family.
If you want to know why he can infer this, just look at Haoyun, who is also a Kuranta.
By the way, the reason why they sat in the tea restaurant was because there were basically no coffee shops in the area where the infected gathered... With their financial situation, they could not afford to enjoy a drink.
Yaoguang suddenly lowered his head and carelessly stroked the cup of fruit water.
"Since you've already seen it, I'll just ask directly."
Without even looking up, she said, "Do you have any work for me?"
No matter what the purpose of the travelers in this land is... whether they are learning the cultural knowledge of various countries like Kanelian, or practicing and training themselves like Yaoguang, they cannot avoid one thing.
Money, and it has to be money that can be spent locally.
Otherwise, if after earning a lot of coins in the capital of gods, Sargon's people would not recognize him at all, wouldn't that be a laughing stock?
Therefore, whenever a traveler arrives at a place, the first thing he considers, besides food and clothing, is probably to find a job.
If you are a Knight of Casimir, then the most suitable job is guarding and troubleshooting, followed by part-time bounty hunter to catch fugitives and find things. If you really have no moral burden, you can also be a killer or robber.
"……How did you know?"
“There is no such thing as kindness without reason, especially to those who are infected.”
Yaoguang glanced at Chongxiao without any emotion. "Since you can use the infected to process the ore for business, you must be targeting me for a job."
Miss, how can you, a Knight of Casimir, always look at people in this way? Will your warden teach you?
Chongxiao's knowledge of Casimir was limited to his leadership of the Supervisory Council and his love-hate history with Ursus, and he knew nothing else... However, at the coronation ceremony in the capital of God, he did meet the leader of the delegation named Ioletta Russell and several young Casimir knights.
The appearance and temperament of those people are somewhat similar to the Yao Guang in front of us, but they are more sunny and confident.
Not like Yaoguang... a little decadent?
Well, since you are so direct, I will...
Chongxiao was about to ask the other party if he could join the infected security team when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Xie Ming... Chongxiao probably guessed what it was.
"Sir."
"Get ready, Chongxiao, we're going to Chernobyl in two days."
"…I'm on a business trip again?"
"Don't you want to?"
"That's not the case, but we can't always target one person for exploitation, right?"
"You're right, but if I decide to spend 50,000 Lungmen coins as funding for this investigation..."
"Sir, as a senior inspector, I am willing to fight for the Guard Bureau with my last bit of strength. Please let me go to Chernobog."
"Get ready and take action in two days."
Xie Ming hung up the phone neatly.
First it was Londinium, then the capital of the gods, and now it’s Chernobyl. Why don’t you let me go to heaven?
Of course, Chongxiao didn't know that his words would come true in a very logical way a few years later...
During the call, Yaoguang, who was sitting opposite him, did not react until Chongxiao said the words "as a senior inspector".
In the current special inspection team, Texas has been promoted to superintendent due to his serious work attitude and outstanding professional ability. He and Haoyun have the highest rank in the team. Xingxiong should have been, and even had the potential to be promoted to senior superintendent. Unfortunately, he was held back by those complaints and is still a senior inspector now.
As for Chongxiao... this guy simply doesn't want to be promoted, because he feels that the salary increase is not worth the increased workload.
Otherwise, he would be a senior superintendent.
"Are you... from the Longmen Guard Bureau?"
"Is it surprising?"
Yaoguang narrowed his eyes and looked at him again.
"I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood you. If you are a law enforcement officer, you probably won't become a capitalist."
"Uh…yeah, is that so?"
This question is a bit difficult to answer, because Chongxiao really did invest in this project, although the specific operation was done by Wei Yanwu...
And it seems that Yaoguang still thinks that he is exploiting the infected... Never mind, I’m too lazy to explain.
Chongxiao suddenly thought of a good idea to poach people.
"You just said you wanted to find a job, right?"
"...No, I mean you might have work to do..."
"It all means the same thing. Congratulations on reaching your goal."
Before Yaoguang could react, Chongxiao slammed the table and said, "I'll hire you as my bodyguard. Come with me to Chernobyl!"
It was obvious that she had no intention of accepting the job, but before she could say no, someone used a very despicable trick.
"If you don't agree, you will be a suspected terrorist armed personnel."
Chongxiao's eyes fell on the prismatic shield that Yaoguang placed beside him. "He needs to be taken back to the Guard Bureau to cooperate with the investigation."
……
In the command building of the Guards Headquarters, a meeting led by Chongxiao was taking place in the tactical analysis room used exclusively by the Special Inspectorate Team.
The most basic information such as geographical environment and administrative divisions has been sorted out and printed into a book, bound together with the Ursus language crash course guide.
The spies that Wei Yanwu had sent to that mobile city had lost contact for several years and could not be relied upon at all, so this thing was probably Chongxiao's guide to local operations.
In addition, he cannot reveal the identity of the Guard Bureau, otherwise it will easily raise the issue to the level of diplomatic relations between Ursus and Dayan... From this point of view, Chongxiao, who has a great reputation in Longmen, is not the most suitable candidate, but he is the strongest and can best guarantee his safe return.
“…I don’t think it’s that exaggerated, right?”
"How naive, Chongxiao! It's not like you haven't seen the Ursus people before. Don't you know what kind of people they are?"
Haoyun, this is blatant racial discrimination.
To be honest, when talking about the Ursus people, the first person Chongxiao thought of was not the guys who caused trouble in Longmen, but the popular martial arts actress Wan Shengsheng.
The reason is very simple, her sexy body with curves... ahem, sorry, her warm and cheerful personality is so perfect, and when she asked me to learn Tieyi Liuhequan, she was very humble, without any airs of a big star at all.
In comparison, Huai Tianpei, who always comes to challenge others for no reason, is simply a bastard. If it weren't for the fact that his little Huaihu is so adorable, Chongxiao would have sent him to the ICU in minutes.
"Anyway, it's not a bad thing to be prepared. Chongxiao, if you can't help it, take the Yama Blade with you."
Texas's generous donation attracted the attention of everyone in the special inspection team. They knew very well how inseparable Texas and this weapon were. How could he give it to Chongxiao so easily?
The relationship between these two people is definitely not ordinary!
"That's not necessary."
Chongxiao waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Besides, don't underestimate rebellion."
This statement is really not convincing, because almost everyone in the Guard Bureau knows how abnormal the Yama Blade's Dimension Slash is. Even Wei Yanwu, who came to observe it specially once, gave it a very high evaluation.
In addition, Xingxiong's Chaos Blade also showed an overly powerful killing ability, so much so that Xingxiong mainly used its chain rather than the blade when performing tasks... As for Ajiu's Golden Snake Sword, it can be regarded as an enhanced version of the sniper gun, and does not require the level of Originium skills.
They didn't know that Chongxiao had given the True Dragon Emperor a national treasure, the Xuanyuan Sword, in the Divine Capital, otherwise they would have despised the "useless" rebels even more.
Everyone talked at once and put forward their own suggestions. Even Kanelian, who had just joined the company, reminded Chongxiao not to casually show his attitude towards the infected in Chernobyl.
"why is that?"
"It's not just the authorities in Ursus who are ostracizing infected people, the same is true for the propaganda they use among the public."
Kanelian leaned against the wall with his arms folded. Although he was a typical newcomer, he looked more like a senior boss who had been in the business for many years. "Even if you are not infected, but just sympathize with those who are infected, it is easy for you to be targeted by extremists."
Chongxiao frowned. He knew about Ursus's oppression of the infected, but he never thought that even the people were misled by deliberate propaganda.
