From Hughton's words, it is not difficult to see that he and Horn know each other, and maybe there will be some grudges. Otherwise, Horn would not have allowed himself to keep himself silent about the origin of the blue moonlight, for fear that Hughton would refuse to guide him after he found out. Moreover, what Hughton said before seemed to be just a joke, which made Allen's heart a little up and down.

Seeing that Alan wanted to speak and stopped, Hughton rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, I was really talking about playing before." But since you survived the death ring, I'm not so shameless that I don't even admit this promise. Otherwise, why should I give you the address? ”

Alan was overjoyed.

"Stop." Hughton changed his words: "The Rubik's Cube sequence is not an easy subject to learn, even if I am willing to teach you, you may not be able to learn it." So before I do that, I'll have to see if you have that qualification. ”

Alan nodded and said, "As it should be." ”

"I'll wait until you get back from the surface. Maybe you'll kill me on the surface, ha. Hughton said casually, and seeing Allen's helpless expression, he waved his hand and laughed: "I'm kidding, okay, let's take a look at these two things." Go, help me get the toolbox, it's over there. ”

Pointing to the corner of the living room, Hughton had already picked up the Dark Destruction and looked at it. Alan helped him get the toolbox, and Hughton dismantled the destroyed components when he took out the Rubik's Cube sequence chip from it. He glanced at it and said, "It turned out to be the handiwork of that old thing from Lawrins, well, no." These source points are set up a bit cumbersomely, and they are probably imitated by his students. ”

Alan wondered, "Can Mr. Hughton still be able to see who designed the sequence?" ”

"It's not difficult, everyone's approach is different, especially those who flaunt their masters, who prefer to leave some of their own logos. Just like Lawrins, in his design, the number 13 is his logo. For example, a sequence actually only needs ten source points to activate, which tends to increase to 13 for the old thing. For example, a powerful sequence needs 16 source points, and the old guy will cut it down to 13. ”

"In this way, the former sequence will waste more source power, and the latter sequence will make the power less than the standard. Of course, Lawrins will always have his own set of interpretations, and he is one of the few masters in this field. And who would dare to question his authority? So you see, this guy is a liar full of nonsense, how can he have such a reputation as me. ”

Huton had already grabbed a few tools and began to modify the Rubik's Cube sequence: "Look, as long as you remove these superfluous source points, and then simplify the energy channeling loop, you can lower the standard of use. ”

He said it easily, but it took more than an hour to readjust this set of second-level armaments. After reducing the source force requirement, the Assassination shrank from the original five Source Force Blades to three. As for Silent Guardian, the amount of energy absorbed has only dropped by 5 percent, and the defense has only been reduced by 25%, so it's a pretty good value for money.

After repacking the armament, Alan took his leave and agreed with Hughton to return to Babylon to visit him. After seeing Alan off, Hughton walked back to the living room and looked up at the cloister on the second floor. In the shadow of the corridor, there was a black skirt at some point, and from under the skirt, a pair of white bare feet were stepping on the floor. It was an unnatural paleness, with a slight morbidity. From the rounded toes and leg line, it is not difficult to tell that it is a girl.

"Vera, the guest is gone." Hughton whispered.

The girl in the corridor let out a low "um", and Huton sighed softly and spread his hands, "What do you think of that boy just now?" ”

The girl did not reply, and the pale feet retreated into the shadows, and then a gentle footstep faded away. Hughton nodded and said, "Well, you didn't say anything because you didn't hate Taluo?" Really lucky guy to have passed the biggest hurdle. ”

"Vera, beef stew with potatoes at night?" Hughton yelled upstairs again.

Still no response.

Hughton shook his head: "Not refusing is a promise, when will this child come out of that shadow?" ”

It was already evening when he returned to Ugal Castle, and after Alan had dinner, he began to train for the source force. However, today is obviously not as lucky as last time, and you can enter the Source Force Star Sea smoothly. Therefore, after 36 cycles of driving the source force, his body strengthened by the physical potion began to be a little overwhelmed, and Alan had to stop and move his hands and feet to soothe the swelling blood vessels.

In this night's training, the total amount of source power only increased by 1%.

The next morning, Alan went to the training ground and continued to practice his sliding steps. There are only two days left before departure, and he has to seize the time to practice this skill, hoping to play a greater role in actual combat. After practicing for half an hour, Hai Xin pulled a few people over: "Young master, this is the escort I found for you." ”

Eren looked up and swept over, all of them were young guards. The oldest of them was no more than 25 years old, and the youngest looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen. Hexin patted the oldest guard and said, "This is Barney, don't look at his age, he has been fighting in the outer battlefield for a year. Barney is a multi-position player, so I'll make him the captain of this temporary team. As for the other members, let him introduce them. ”

Helsing said that there was something to do, so he should leave first. The man named Barney had curly hair like a tightrope, a sharp silhouette, an even body, and an explosive feeling between movements. With a sunny smile, he reached out and shook Allen's hand, "It's an honor to serve you, sir." ”

"Call me Alan."

"Okay, Alan." Barney is also polite, after all, Allen's identity has not been disclosed, and this guard master should only be the little master of the side branch. He began to introduce the rest of the team to Allen, and there were four remaining guards, from left to right: Jason, Diman, Arnold, and Marlene.

Jason is a demolitionist and fireman, and he's not very old, but he's very strong. He is almost two meters tall, and the blood vessels under his skin are bulging like earthworms. Wearing sunglasses, his mouth is moving, and he is chewing gum. When Barney introduces him, Jason bares his white teeth and reaches out to shake Alan's hand. However, after holding Alan's palm, which was much smaller than his, he noticed that Jason's palm contracted hard.

Alan smiled slightly and shook it vigorously. The two palms of different sizes were clucking, and a discerning person could see at a glance that the two were wrestling in secret. Barney looked at Jason with a bit of a headache, for fear that he would hurt the little master. But he saw that Jason's expression was changing dramatically. At first, there was a smile, but gradually the smile retracted, and then became solemn, and now it is frowning and grinning, as if it is not lightly held by Allen.

"Your hand is steady, and I believe it is more powerful when it picks up the gun." Eren was the first to let go of the guard.

Jason smiled and withdrew his hand, and then straightened up, "Of course, Master Allen." You'll find that Jason is a brave soldier! ”

The others looked behind his buttocks, the guard's hands shaking vigorously behind his back. Looking at this trembling palm, the guards who were introduced next all changed their faces to be serious, not as graceful as when they first came in.

Alan uses a simple method to gain their most basic respect.

Next up is the Scout, a thin guard who is said to be a fast runner and a good at disguise and concealment. Arnold is an expert in hand-to-hand combat, with a tactical machete hanging from his waist, two daggers strapped to the outside of his legs, and several throwing knives studied. The last Marlene is a woman, with dark brown skin indicating that she has been working in the field for a long time, with short hair and no smiles. She is a sniper herself, and can also be used as a fireman when needed.

Barney also handed Alan a copy of the information, which showed that Barney himself was a level 10 engraver. As for the other team members, they are all source power people ranging from level six to seven. Even in the large family of Bethcord, the skills of these guards are already worthy of the word "good", and what is more valuable is that they have their own specialties. It seems that Helsing has indeed carefully selected some talents, and of course, the cost of their assignments is not cheap.

For this mission, Alan had to pay them a salary of 50,000 yuan, of which Barney alone accounted for 20,000, and the rest were divided equally among the four people. This is not counting the consumption of other equipment and ammunition and the cost of the mission, and on the last page of the document, there is a payment bill. Looking at the numbers on the bill, Alan suddenly felt that his federal bonus was not as much as he had imagined.

"So, did you find a good guard for Alan?"

In the main building of the castle, in Horn's study, Helsing briefly reported to the patriarch about the situation with Allen.

"Yes, sir, this is the guard's information." The old butler also handed Horn a copy of the same text.

Horn swept it through, nodded and said, "It's enough to deal with a black group with this kind of strength, and you're doing a good job, Mr. Helsing." ”

"That's fine, I'll go down first."

After the butler left, Horn raised his head and thought for a while, "Anna, you should go with you." But don't do it, after all, this is Allen's own war. ”

In the shadows next to the window behind him, the air distorted unnaturally, and a slender figure gradually appeared, and then a slightly hoarse female voice sounded: "Obey, master, I will be optimistic about Young Master Allen." ”

Horn nodded, as for how Anna judged the boundaries of "never to be", it was not a matter for him to consider.

For breakfast on the third day, a Harrier Eagle frigate pulled Alan and his team directly to Liberty Harbor. In 30 minutes, the Blue Sky will depart from Porto Goddess and fly to Area 13 of the surface. Alan and the others entered the waiting room through the green passage opened for the children of the family, and as soon as they sat down, two familiar voices sounded behind their heads.

"Alan!"

"Little elk." I1387
