The Death List Novel - Chapter 527
Chapter 527 Voting And Trading
“The war between the Lost and the other two Apostle Alliances should be limited to the upper echelons, and I estimate that it will end in one or two mission worlds in case the flames of war spread to the lower and middle echelons of Apostle. Otherwise, the three alliances will be separated from each other.”
In the hall of the villa, Qin Lun had already informed the other murderers of all the information he had received from Kelly. You can’t hide this information from them, otherwise you won’t be able to gain the trust of others in the future.
“Lord Qin Lun, since that’s the case, why did that Kelly notify you?” Silva, who was sitting in the outer circle of the salon, couldn’t help but ask.
As the Killer Demon Team matured, Qin Lun and the others began to consciously invite a few servants, Apostle, to join them and increase the centripetal force of their team. Of course, they were just spectators and could bring up ideas. They didn’t have the right to make decisions. The only thing they could decide was whether or not to follow a few bosses into the mission world.
Of course, even so, not all the servants needed to participate in the discussion. Frank was the only one on Qin Lun’s side, so Didi and Schiff didn’t have to participate. Lily and Silva, who had gone through several missions with the great murderers, could participate. Intergula, who had just followed Grant, could not be trusted by others, so he was not brought here this time.
Hearing Silva’s question, the murderers looked at each other and smiled. Unlike Silva, these murderers were full of confidence. They never thought that they belonged to the lower and middle levels of Apostle. On the contrary, even high-tier Apostle was only a slightly stronger prey in their eyes.
“Qin Lun has interacted with the Lost Party a few times. With his abilities, Lost might not regard him as a potential newbie, but as someone with the same combat strength as a high-tier Apostle.” Hill replied with a smile.
“Hill is exaggerating. Every time Apostle crosses a level, his combat strength will undergo a qualitative change. No matter how much he values me, he will not treat me as a high-level combat strength.” Qin Lun said with a smile.
‘”Kelly came to me for two reasons. One was to ask me for some help, but she didn’t say it in the end, so I couldn’t guess. The other was that I had given Rice a hand in the last mission world, so I specifically gave me a warning.”
“Warning?”
“Well, the loss of the war with the other high-level teams will not affect the entire alliance, but it does not prevent the other two alliances from poaching the potential of the order-keeping front. As long as the news of the annihilation of the Light Guild spread, the hearts of the people on the Order-keeping Front would naturally fluctuate. Even if they lost and won, they could only reduce the losses of the Alliance and maintain the Order-keeping Front so that it would not collapse completely. Qin Lun patiently explained.
“Qin Lun, you’re saying that the other two Apostle Alliance members will contact us next!” Hansen asked thoughtfully, “Aren’t they afraid that such a big commotion will cause the Horn of the Abyss to fall into chaos?”
“Haha, they don’t want all of them. There’s no need to poach a small number of elites from the Horn of the Devil. Perhaps they will be placed directly in the mission world!” Qin Lun said with a faint smile, “Apostle is the most realistic. If you want to get recognition, you have to show the corresponding strength. It’s useless just relying on words.”
In the quest world, it was the most suitable method to continuously fight and give a jujube after the fight! In the past, there were two high-level guilds on the order-keeping front, Light and Loss. If they didn’t want to start a war, they couldn’t do so. Now that the light had fallen, he could no longer hold on to the scene by relying solely on his loss. Therefore, when did the alliance between the Lost and Outsiders hurt the other two alliances in this war, forcing them to compromise. Only by keeping the order would they be able to truly stop their losses! ”
“In that case, you want us to decide whether to stay or go again!” Grant nodded and asked hesitantly, “Qin Lun, from the beginning, I have a question. Did Kelly hide something from you, or did she lose a lot of herself? Otherwise, they wouldn’t not understand the impact of introducing a high-level team from outside, right?”
Hearing Grant’s words, Qin Lun and the others fell into silence. In fact, apart from Grant, who had been lonely since childhood, who had never experienced kinship, and who did not understand the meaning of group order, the others could vaguely figure it out.
“Because they have something they want to protect!” Hill stood up, pulled open the curtains, and looked out of the window with a flickering gaze, as if he recalled something from the past.
“That’s it, Qin Lun. If you don’t have anything else to add, then vote according to the old rules. The minority obeys the majority!” Hansen looked at Qin Lun expressionlessly, “You used to pull us into this loss, but this time it’s up to you …”
“One vote in favour, four abstentions!” After the voting results were released, the expressions of the five murderers were rather strange.
They all liked excitement and adventure, but it didn’t matter whether they helped or not. As long as high-level Apostle didn’t directly attack them, it would be fine. At worst, they would move to Apostle City in the future, so it was understandable for most people to abstain from voting.
The crux of the matter was that the person who voted in favour of helping Qin Lun was not Qin Lun, but Shepherd Hill!
“I thought that the person who chose to approve of the five bosses would be the dissecter and fireworks. I didn’t expect that it would be Lord Hill.” Silva talked to Lily privately on the Apostle Channel.
“This is because you don’t understand the characters of the bosses!” Lily looked at Silva meaningfully. “I’m not as smart as you are, but in the eyes of the bosses, you’re not as important as me because you’re always self-righteous.”
Silva’s expression turned embarrassed. He laughed embarrassedly and then fell silent. He knew that Lily was right. In terms of seniority, he was actually the same as Lily, the first prisoner to follow a few murderers into the shattered starry sky.
Among them, Lily had carried out missions with Qin Lun, Hansen and Grant, while Silva had carried out missions with Hill, Hansen and Rand.
However, most of the three murderers that Lily had followed were willing to lend a hand to Lily when she was killed, and they would not even forget to share her benefits. It was as if in this world of divine music, even though Lily had no use in the end, Qin Lun and Grant still gave her the Magic Cube that Luke had dropped.
However, Silva was different. Although he had also carried out missions with the three murderers. However, apart from Shepherd Hill, the other two had yet to acknowledge him. This fellow was the opposite of Lily. His IQ was higher than EQ, but his IQ was not good in front of a few smart murderers, so he could not get along with Lily.
“Hehe, Sister Lily, then explain it to me!” Silva knew his shortcomings, but he also had the advantage of being very good at coaxing women. Lily narrowed her eyes and enjoyed her sister’s call, so she explained softly to him.
“Before I explain it to you, tell me, why do you feel like those two old assemblies voted for me?” Lily narrowed her eyes into a crescent moon and asked proudly.
‘”Well … I heard that Boss Qin Lun has been imprisoned by the Federation for a long time and doesn’t know much about the world. But since he entered the starry sky, he seems to have a lot of emotions. And he admires that high-level Apostle called Kelly and even dragged us along to join the loss …”
Silva said thoughtfully, “It seems the same today. During the meeting, his expression was somewhat absent-minded. Wasn’t it because of the crisis encountered by the Lost Team that troubled him? As for Boss Rand … Judging from his previous career as a firefighter, he should appreciate the lost style!”
After listening to Silva’s narrative, Lily’s expression gradually became serious. She did not show her original complacency. After pondering for a while, she replied, “You observed very carefully. I do not have your eyesight. However, I will never ponder over the feelings of the bosses like you. It is a very dangerous thing.”
“I know, this is an occupational disease that I left behind when I was an art thief!” Silva sighed and said helplessly, “Forget it, you should say what you think first!”
“As I said, the bosses are smarter than us. They don’t like others to think they’re right. However, it’s not difficult to figure out what the bosses are up to. There’s a very simple way.” Lily smiled and said, “That’s to get to know one boss from his mouth!”
“This is also fine!” Silva was stunned and his eyes lit up.
“Yes, Boss Hansen once said that among the five of them, Boss Qin Lun is the most dangerous. Even he himself is unable to control the danger!” Lily said seriously.
“You mean Boss Qin Lun’s other personality?” Silva nodded thoughtfully.
“No, it has nothing to do with Joey Foster! After Boss Qin Lun entered the starry sky, his emotions began to grow, but Boss Hansen thought that he was just experiencing this strange feeling. His emotions were like our clothes, just an external appendage.”
When Lily said this, she suddenly looked at Qin Lun with some fear in her heart, and then carefully said, “Perhaps Boss Qin Lun once had the opportunity to redeem himself, but not now.” After so many years, he had already determined the nature of the matter and was unable to change it. Perhaps at some point, he could take off these feelings like he was taking off his clothes and return to a blank spot. ”
Silva felt a chill run down his spine as he hurriedly changed the subject. “Alright, let’s not talk about Boss Qin Lun, what about Boss Rand?”
“To get to know Boss Rand, you first need to understand the profession of fireman. In fact, firemen are the most decisive and observant people. If they can save a hundred people, he will give up the other 99 if necessary.” Lily smiled and said, “To Boss Rand, we are a hundred people, while loss is ninety-nine people who need to give up.”
“Alright, I understand!” Silva’s expression was a little strange. Looking at the smiling beauty, he suddenly felt that he might not be as smart as Lily.
…
Seeing Hill and the others leave, Qin Lun expressionlessly closed the curtains. However, his shining gaze meant that he was thinking carefully.
The theme of today’s gathering is not about the Lost Team, but the trade fair within their small team. Lily was right. Qin Lun really wouldn’t help Kelly get lost just because of her friendship with her. His mental state had been a little abnormal during this period of time, but it was puzzled by some ideas.
The five murderers had used about a dozen quest worlds since they had just entered the shattered starry sky. Although they could not be said to be companions of life and death, and perhaps they would never reach that kind of relationship, at least they had cultivated a certain degree of trust and tacit understanding, and started to have the embryonic form of a team.
Some of Qin Lun’s gains in the Divine Comedy World had been bought by others. The Holy Word technique from Father Jack was indeed useful to Hill. According to the Shepherd, this scroll was worth more than Qin Lun had imagined, and the market price was around 10,000 broken crystals.
However, due to his professional relationship, Qin Lun had no choice but to buy it for thirty thousand broken crystals. Hill wasn’t dissatisfied. The friendship between them belonged to friendship. When it was time to rip off the bamboo pole, he really wasn’t soft at all. It was as if they were blackmailing Qin Lun with information about the Samsara invasion after the last world.
Uka had bought the scimitar from Second Grade Reincarnation Silva, and the others were not interested in it. In Disciple Hansen’s words, this thing was the main weapon. It wasn’t of enough quality. It’s too troublesome to be a vice weapon in a weapon battle and also cultivate the Sword Qi skill.
Of course, this was definitely enough for Silva, who was about to change his profession. Back then, when Qin Lun changed his profession, his main weapon was the Dark Gold Set’s Light and Dark Burial, or the Metal Swallowing Behemoth that even needed to spend money on bullets. Its suitability was not comparable to this scimitar.
Sheng Nuoga’s scimitar sold for 70,000 broken crystals. This price was actually quite economical. Qin Lun did not cheat Silva. As the leader of the guild, he had to be generous with his servant, Apostle.
The three items produced by Black Empress Mira, the Illusory Spirit Leather Equipment, Qin Lun planned to use for himself. However, the Blood Crystal could not be sold for the time being. The side effects of this item were so great that even Silva and Lily didn’t like it.
Actually, although Silva and Lily weren’t outstanding in their small team, they were considered elites in ordinary Apostle. One had to know that these two people’s mission intervals were longer than a few murderers’. They had crossed roughly seven mission worlds so far, and now they were about to change professions. Their strength could not be considered slow to increase.
After experiencing so many mission worlds, they had also accumulated some trump cards to save their lives. They were basically off-combat props. These two fellows weren’t good at fighting head-on. As long as they were in danger, their first thought was to flee, so they didn’t need consumables like blood crystals.
Originally, Qin Lun wanted to leave the Blood Crystal to Frank, but after thinking for a while, he gave up. The hunchbacked servant was a bit stubborn. In order to prevent Qin Lun from being suspected, he dragged his seriously injured body outside Albert Castle for a few hours, almost losing too much blood and dying.
If he gave the Blood Crystal to him, he might encounter some danger, and he would stubbornly fight until the side effects broke out, instead harming him.
What surprised Qin Lun was that the last piece of equipment made in Mila, the compound weapon casing [Green Chain Spear Blade], was actually unwanted. It wasn’t accurate to say that it wasn’t attractive at all, but at least Hansen hesitated for a while.
When he was a mercenary, he liked the combination of the Mountain Cutter and the shotgun. The multi-weapon control of the Viking warriors also changed his fighting style, requiring a lot of backup weapons.
However, it was still the same saying. The quality of the weapon was a bit low. The [Green Chain Spear Blade] was only of bright gold quality. For ordinary beginner Apostle, it was the best quality, but for disciples who were about to reach Second Grade, it was not enough to fit the weapon case. It would be too extravagant to use it as a backup weapon.
As a result, both the “Green Chain Spear Blade” and the “Archery Specialty” were left in Qin Lun’s hands. As for the equipment brought by Hill and the others, Qin Lun did not need them. Grant had made a big deal with Hill. Although it was an exchange of items, it had to be converted into broken crystals. The initial estimate was that the amount would be more than 500,000 broken crystals.
Clown sold the Elena Sacred Nail to Hill in exchange for an extremely rare Apostle prop, the Fruit of Life. It was said that this thing’s function in the indigenous world was similar to the fruit of life in the Garden of Eden, which was why Shepherd called it the fruit of life.
Of course, for Apostle, eating the fruit of life to obtain eternal life was a false proposition. The greatest effect of the Fruit of Life on Apostle was to fuse two completely different bloodline genes into one another, making up for their deficiencies and achieving compatibility.
After the Elena Sacred Nail was brought into the shattered starry sky, its quality had reached Legendary Second Grade. It was the same as the Sacred Thorn Crown that did not fuse with Ayala’s artifact soul. However, the Fruit of Life was even more precious. In the end, Grant had even replenished Hill’s hundred thousand broken crystals.
Think about how heaven-defying it was to be able to perfectly fuse two arbitrary bloodlines. Angel + Devil? Fire + Frost? Titan + Dragon? The higher the bloodline, the harder it would be to fuse. Even if Apostle had two god bloodlines, under normal circumstances, he could only choose one.
A good bloodline might not immediately bring Apostle strength, but it would definitely lay a solid foundation for them, making it easier for them to advance to a higher rank, or even a legend.
When the two of them were negotiating, the other three murderers were a little jealous. Especially disciple Hansen. In fact, he was the same as Qin Lun. If a Viking warrior wanted to upgrade to a heroic warrior, relying on his current Archaic Magic Ape bloodline was not enough. He needed another bloodline.
If he were to follow the path of the Black Warrior Emperor, he would need the soul fire of the undead. To take the path of Odin, one needed a divine core, that is, a divine lattice. Not only did his profession need to be high, but the success rate of bloodline fusion was also very low. It was much more disgusting than Qin Lun’s Demon Hunter profession. Perhaps he would be the last of the five to be promoted.
However, Hansen had no choice. He didn’t have a religious sacred object like the Elena Nail. Even if he took out his Legendary equipment, Shepherd didn’t have to. He could only watch with red eyes as Clown proudly took away the Fruit of Life.
Grant wanted the Fruit of Life to fuse with his bloodline. He obtained the Magic Cube of the White Giant Leo in the World of Divine Comedy, and in the end, he was lucky enough to draw out the White Giant’s bloodline.
Clown’s current viral bloodline was similarly excellent. Its resilience was incomparably strong, and its skin could even harden into insect shells. However, when faced with attacks from high-level skills, it was too thin and too brittle, and its defense was insufficient.
The most outstanding advantage of the White Giant bloodline was its strength and defense. Combined with the strong resilience of the virus bloodline, it was an almost perfect MT bloodline.
However, the two bloodlines weren’t related, and they couldn’t be fused. Only the fruit of life could give Grant hope, so he didn’t hesitate to pay for the Elena Sacred Nail.
On the other hand, Shepherd Hill was also very satisfied. As a pure Catholic, obtaining a sacred object of Christ is far more important than the equipment itself.
After pondering for a while in the room, Qin Lun stood up and instructed Frank. Then, he pushed open the door and walked towards the headquarters of the Guardian Front.
Devil’s horn is about to face a storm, equipment prices are expected to fluctuate. Qin Lun did not like to do trivial bargaining. Naturally, he wished to get rid of all the surplus items before that. In addition, he needed to talk to Kelly again.
