Chapter 116: The Past of the Heavy Sword

Even if they are at the peak of level 6, mid-level professionals are still in the range of high-level cannon fodder, and they don't feel bad even if they are consumed.

But high-level professionals are different. Every high-level professional is an absolute backbone and foundation.

If he breaks through level 7, even if the mercenary group is in trouble, the White Rose Legion behind him will do his best to protect him.

And the most important thing is that in the Gloria Empire, once you are promoted to a high-level professional, you can directly apply to the imperial royal family for a noble title!

That is not just a title, but a powerful noble including a territory equivalent to the title!

But breaking through level 7 is very unlikely for Jet, who has exhausted his potential at the level 6 limit.

Unless, use some rare treasures that increase the probability of breakthrough.

But the value of those treasures, even if he has accumulated all these years, is not enough to get any of them.

Just when Jet was unwilling to accept his fate, someone from a certain force found him.

According to the scene in Jet's soul memory, the man was wearing a black robe, his figure was slightly thin, and he was no different from ordinary people overall.

However, what impressed Jet the most was the man's voice.

It was a hoarse and magnetic neutral tone, and the pronunciation was very clear and standard, with a strange and magical charm.

From him, Jet learned about the items he would transport on his next mission.

Hundreds of units of extremely high-quality Brilliant Crystals!

Upon hearing this news, Jet's originally vigilant mood became extremely complicated.

Few people know that before his strength completely stagnated, Jet had repeatedly applied to his superiors behind him to allocate the materials needed to impact the seventh level.

But every time he applied, he was rejected on the grounds of insufficient contribution.

You know, he is no longer young, and the difficulty of breaking through the seventh level increases with each additional year of delay.

Even if he only gets one twentieth of this batch of Brilliant Crystals, he is sure to increase his probability of breaking through the seventh level from infinitely close to zero to 30%.

Maybe the probability is also not high, but it is enough for him to gamble.

Everyone has only one chance in his life to break through the seventh level from the sixth level.

When the synchronization of the professional's mental power and body reaches 99%, it is the limit of the sixth level.

At this time, if the professional wants to break through, he needs to concentrate all his energy and spirit, use a highly concentrated point as a "spark" to ignite his entire spiritual sea.

Using this pure spiritual fire that burns everything, the spiritual sea and the body are completely forged into one, completing the transition from imperfection to perfection.

Sublimate a point of the seventh-level spiritual essence, and rebirth.

This is a very dangerous process. This "burning" not only consumes mental power, but also burns the upper limit of mental power at the same time.

If the synchronization of the spiritual sea and the body has not reached 100% when the mental power is burned out, then the breakthrough will completely lose mental power, and years of hard work will be lost in one day.

At this time, Jet was actually completely moved, but the experience of being loyal to the White Rose Legion for many years still bound his decision.

He needed to find a reason to convince himself.

No matter what the reason is——

Seeing the key to Jet's hesitation, the mysterious man smiled inexplicably, and then spoke calmly, telling him the future destination and use of this batch of brilliant crystals.

Smuggling to other hostile countries of the Gloria Empire, cultivating the trusted subordinates of certain people... and helping the descendants of nobles with no qualifications to forcibly build up their realms.

Listening to the mysterious man's faint words, Jet suddenly felt a ball of evil fire burning in his chest.

I cut my way out of the pile of dead bodies, stepping on countless corpses, and finally climbed to this position with difficulty.

But what is the result? I handled so many shady things for the White Rose Legion, but it was not enough to exchange for a resource to impact the seventh level?

Why do I do all the dirty work, but I don't get my share when the benefits are distributed afterwards?

Why do those useless nobles enjoy the resources that I can't enjoy even if I die?

Why? !

Originally, due to the existence of prophecy magic, even if he was angry, Jet still didn't dare to do anything.

But when that person suggested to him that he had a way to confuse the fate of the whole thing, Jet made up his mind to do it.

The escorted Brilliant Crystals were divided into 30% and 70%, Jet took 30%, and the mysterious man and the organization behind him took 70%.

The organization behind the mysterious man was responsible for action planning, covering up the fate of the whole thing, and helping Jet escape from the empire and seek refuge in the Itel Kingdom Federation, and Jet had to fully cooperate with their actions.

After the action plan was determined, Jet was completely determined.

Think about it, what does he need to do in the whole thing, to stop the smuggling of a batch of major strategic materials?

Oh-benevolent gods, what a patriotic and just act!

If it is spread out, maybe you can get a small purple medal awarded by the royal family! ①

So, I, Jet, did not betray, but chose the latter between the interests of the legion and the interests of the empire!

If the members knew about this, they would surely be willing to sacrifice for the empire, right? .

….….

Then, as planned, Jet took over the task from the White Rose Legion.

But his goal from the beginning was this batch of escorted supplies.

Before taking action, Jet had a chat with his right-hand deputy commander and two true confidants.

Then, using the excuse of changing the secret route, he led the mercenary group to temporarily change directions, go deep into the Twilight Forest, and camped in a canyon between the Luo Xing Mountains.

After the camp was set up, Jet announced to many mercenary members that a celebration party would be held in advance, and unlimited wine and barbecue would be provided tonight.

The many mercenaries who trusted Jet had no doubt that he was there, and they drank happily around the campfire.

But what they didn't know was that the wine had been mixed with a special, delayed-onset poison in advance.

That night, while the mercenaries were sleeping, the poison took effect. One by one, the mercenaries died painfully in their sleep. The few who managed to survive were killed by Jet's henchmen on the spot.

Using the blood and lives of these mercenaries as the price and medium, the fate of the entire incident was temporarily distorted and disrupted, which prevented the White Rose Legion from immediately noticing that the supplies had been robbed.

However, the people in the legion are actually always paying attention to the movements of the 'Epee' mercenary group.

Realizing that the mercenary group's route was wrong, the legion immediately sent strong men to secretly investigate.

Following some clues, the Legion's men discovered Jet's long-dead body in a stream on the border of the Empire.

The body had been stripped of valuable items, leaving only a pair of shorts to maintain his last dignity.

Ironically, Jeter's only fatal injury was.

From a dagger stuck deep in the back of the heart——
