Chapter 731 Returning to the Team
Seeing that Han Xiao didn't believe it, Austin said, "Sisko only cares about his own civilization. He doesn't know you, so he probably isn't interested in helping you. Even if I ask him for help, he might not give me face. I'm on good terms with him."
You don’t have enough face, you’re a Transcendent A Grade anyway, thanks to the fact that you like to socialize as much as I do... Han Xiao secretly complained in his heart.
As if he understood Han Xiao's eyes, Austin clicked his tongue and changed the topic, "Even if he is willing to help, if you don't become super A Grade, you won't live long."
"Oh?" Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
Austin said slowly: "You have killed so many A-level power users in the field of war. Due to unspoken rules, Tyrant has never attacked you, but once the dust of the secret war is settled, guess what he will do to you."
Han Xiao frowned, "He will praise me for killing well."
Austin was speechless, with an expression of "how can you be so shameless", shook his head and said:
"If you reach Transcendent A Grade before the end of the war, Tyrant will intervene in the war against you, but at least you still have hope of surviving, but if you have been unable to break through the boundary of Transcendent A Grade, you don't even have the qualifications to resist, at most Postpone the date of death for a while, and he will have a battle with you!
So becoming a Transcendent A Grade is your only choice, I didn’t lie to you, and you don’t have much time left. "
Han Xiao held his chin and didn't speak, but Marion's eyes were straightened. Fording also looked worried, and looked at Han Xiao frequently, his eyes full of worry.
Becoming Transcendent A Grade in two or three years? Impossible, Fording can't imagine how small this chance is.
He is very clear that Han Xiao has reached a very high level now, and how difficult it is to make further progress. In the past seven years, his strength has hardly improved, which is in stark contrast to the rapid growth rate in the past, including him. Many old friends privately concluded that Black Star had finally encountered a bottleneck.
If the tyrant strikes at that time, the Black Star will be more or less ominous, and the huge Black Star Legion will also fall apart with his death.
Even if Black Star can seize the extremely slim chance of becoming a Super A, it may not be able to survive in the hands of the Tyrant. The Tyrant was a Super A Grade a long time ago, and his prestige is all earned. The combat power will naturally crush a new Super A class.
With this in mind, Fording was pessimistic about the future, reached out and touched Han Xiao's shoulder, and squeezed it hard, hoping to give him some comfort.
In his opinion, Han Xiao must be desperate now.
"Where did you get the news from?"
"I have my own intelligence channel." Austin smiled.
Han Xiao squinted his eyes and pretended to ponder. In fact, the news did not surprise him. Since he dared to participate in the secret war, he was already prepared to fight against the Overlord, and he did not take any chances.
Originally, I was just an unremarkable member of the No. 0 organization, but now I have become an ace force, which naturally attracted the attention of the tyrant. Han Xiao has been secretly wary of Heboar's involvement in the war, but he is not afraid. He is still affiliated with Dragon Calm at this time, and he has a backer behind him. Tyrant's attack on him is equivalent to provoking Dragon Seat. Deep, Emersy will not swallow her anger.
Moreover, once Tyrant intervenes, Amethyst will also go crazy, and will not hesitate to send official troops to encircle and suppress Heboar-the star cluster grade civilization can threaten the life of super A grade. At that time, Krent will also use this as an excuse to send troops. At that time, the nature of the secret war will probably change, and it will become a large-scale war between two civilizations.
Both warring parties want to control the scale of the war, which is the reason why Tyrant never makes a move, but Han Xiao is not too violent. Peeing on someone's head is fine, but shitting is too much.
In fact, after making a name for himself, he consciously reduced the frequency of shots in recent years. He successfully formed an alliance with Amethyst and gained a lot of development opportunities. He has fulfilled his original intention of participating in the secret war, so he began to avoid the risk of attracting attention.
Although he has influenced the process of the secret war, it is difficult to change the outcome of the war based on the strength and status of the natural disaster grade. He does what he can and does not wholeheartedly work for Amethyst.
Austin's words at this time only made Han Xiao's guess a reality, so he wasn't too surprised.
But on the surface, Han Xiao still thanked Austin for reminding himself kindly.
"I can only help you so much. The enchantment Lagi gave you is very good, and you don't need me to improve it. You can go."
Austin waved his hand, showing the meaning of seeing off the guests.
Seeing this, Han Xiao no longer entangled, and left the Temple of Secrets with Fording and Marion, who were full of worries.
Austin returned to the throne, with a look of interest in watching a play on his round face.
He doesn't get involved in disputes, he likes to stand on the sidelines and observe the changes of the stars.
Pressure is the driving force. He deliberately stated Tyrant's intentions, just to see what kind of actions Black Star would take under pressure, whether he would rise against the trend, or perish, or become a bereaved dog and leave Shatter the star ring to escape the pursuit of the overlord.
Whatever the outcome, Austin is happy to see it.
Of course, what he wants to see most is that Black Star changes the pattern of Broken Starlink for many years and injects new vitality into this remote star field.
...
The three of Han Xiao boarded the spaceship and drove away from the Palace of Secrets.
There was silence on board.
Fording couldn't help asking, "Are you sure you can break through the current bottleneck in two or three years?"
bottleneck? what bottleneck? Han Xiao didn't react for a while, and glanced at him suspiciously. After thinking about it, he understood Fording's meaning and shrugged.
"I don't know either." Naturally, he didn't intend to reveal anything about the panel.
"Then what to do? Tyrant will definitely come to kill you." Fording was a little anxious.
Marion suggested: "Perhaps we can find a way to borrow the Evolution Cube in Sisko's hand. Isn't that thing able to lower the threshold of Transcendent A Grade?"
"I don't think so." Han Xiao shook his head.
Austin can definitely invite Sisko, but he is not obliged to help him. Emersy lives in a big house, and she is probably not familiar with Sisko. Her face is not good. The Evolution Cube is Sisko's treasure, so he can use it whenever he wants. He and others don't know each other, and Sisko is probably too lazy to get involved in this matter.
Besides, I don't have a real bottleneck, what I lack is experience.
"Then what are you going to do?" Fording looked worried.
"Step by step."
With the return of players in version 3.0, Han Xiao is confident of becoming a Super A Grade, but he can't explain it to Fording.
Fording pressed Han Xiao's shoulder with a serious face, "If it really doesn't work, then give up the Black Star Legion and escape to other star fields. The forces can be operated again, and life is more important."
"Then will you go with me?" Han Xiao joked.
Fording hesitated, nodded slowly, "Yes."
Sensing Fording's sincere concern, Han Xiao was a little moved.
He shook his head, changed the subject, and said with a smile: "Don't be frightened by things that haven't happened yet. We'll talk about the Tyrant later. There's still a problem waiting to be dealt with right now. I have to find a way to suppress the parasites in my mental brain." The mind force toxin... Oh, it should be called the soul embryo, with this thing, I dare not even use my energy indiscriminately."
"It's a pity that the curse master couldn't help." Fording sighed.
"He just doesn't want to help. Don't look at his amiable appearance. In fact, this old man is very thieves. Do you think he told me this information just because he wanted to help me?"
Han Xiao curled his lips. He was not as easy to fool as Melos. He asked him to come all the way, but in the end he was dismissed without a word, and he was not even reimbursed for the fuel cost.
In the final analysis, you have to figure out your own way. If you knew that you shouldn’t have trusted Austin, and this trip was in vain, Transcendent A Grade is also unreliable these days.
Han Xiao thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea.
Since the reason why Transcendent A Grade can recover on its own is due to its strong mental power, and every time you upgrade, your spirit will also increase accordingly, so even if you don’t reach Transcendent A Grade, upgrading should be able to suppress the soul embryo.
NPCs don't have panels, so they can only be subtly improved through hard work, while upgrading themselves is instantly enhanced, and the effect is remarkable. Although the upgrade cannot clear the negative status, it should be able to inhibit the growth of the soul embryo.
Han Xiao opened the panel. He spent more than half a month on the road. The players had already returned to the Black Star Legion, spending one after another. At this time, they had accumulated enough experience to upgrade, so they had the capital to experiment.
Without hesitation, he was directly promoted to a level.
[[Apostle Mechanic] upgraded to Lv23, strength +240, strength +3, agility +4, endurance +5, intelligence +10, you get 8 free attribute points, 1 potential point]
Han Xiao immediately entered the spiritual brain through the enchantment, and looked down, only to see that the purple-black mist area of the soul embryo was further compressed, from six percent to four percent.
"The upgrade is really effective. The expansion of the mental brain area can suppress the erosion of the soul embryo in a disguised form." Han Xiao withdrew his mental detection and immediately had an idea. It is not impossible for him to do it. As long as he passes a reasonable upgrade, the erosion area of the soul embryo can be controlled within a hundred. If it is less than 30%, there will be no troublesome sub-personality.
Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Since there is a long-term suppression method, the threat of the soul embryo to him has dropped by a notch. Sure enough, enchanting and the like are all external means, and it is the most reliable thing to strengthen oneself, which is helpless for super A-level mages. You can solve it by upgrading yourself.
"In this case, it's not that I can't make a move, as long as I control the time of the battle... Well, just in case, I still need to find a powerful fighter..."
At this time, the communicator suddenly rang, and Han Xiao took it out to see that it was a message from Silvia, who was in the headquarters, and contained a photo.
In the picture, a dark red spaceship pulls dozens of spaceships painted by star pirates with a tractor beam, and stops at the airport. The long crimson curly hair that I haven't seen for a long time jumps into my eyes. Hela is standing at the dock with Aurora, Showing a cold and beautiful side face.
Hela is back?
Han Xiao stared at the photo, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
At this moment, he had the best thug candidate in his mind.
...
"Your Excellency Dragon, they have arrived at the headquarters of the Black Star Legion."
In Dragon Calm Floating Island Palace, Verna is lowering her head, reporting to Emersy the itinerary of the two sisters Hela.
Emersy squeezed the force field into tiny light green spheres, played with them between her fingers, and danced around like elves. Hearing this, she smiled softly, "Did anything happen to them on the way?"
"Well, the fleet I sent out was secretly escorting them. Eight small star bandits attacked them one after another, but they were all easily killed by Hela." Verna said, and Hela left, she was afraid that there would be accidents between the two of them. , So they sent people to secretly guard.
"You did a good job. Since they arrived at Black Star's territory safely, you can withdraw your troops. Black Star will take care of them."
Emersy nodded. She cared more about the two sisters than she cared about herself. She didn't feel it at ordinary times. After half a month since the two sisters Hela left, she felt empty and melancholy.
Aesop on the side shook his head, "You don't need to worry about them at all, they can grow up quickly by following Black Star."
Emersy looked over, a little unhappy, "Are you saying that I don't teach well?"
Aesop waved his hand with a helpless expression, "Hela can absorb the remaining spiritual power of the dead to enhance her abilities. She has no chance to use this ability in Dragon Calm, and Black Star happens to be participating in the war. There are countless dead in the war. For Haila Lalai said that the battlefield is the most suitable place for her practice, even I can't imagine how fast she will grow beside Black Star."
"That's right, that bastard Black Star will definitely let them participate in the war. The battlefield is so dangerous, what if Black Star doesn't protect them well..."
Emersy was talking to herself, and her focus was obviously shifted to another direction. She was like a parent who worried about her children. The two apprentices who had been together day and night for more than ten years were like her own children in her eyes.
When Aesop and Verna heard the words, they suddenly had a bad premonition.
...
It took another half a month, and Han Xiao and his party returned to the headquarters of the Black Star Legion, and met the two sisters Hela who had been away for a long time.
In the office, Aurora slammed into Han Xiao's arms and twisted non-stop. Although she had grown up, she was still as close to Han Xiao as before.
"According to the agreement, we will work for you." Hila remained expressionless.
"They're all old acquaintances, so there's no need to say whether to agree or not. I'm very happy that you all come to help me." Han Xiao touched Aurora's head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that it will be ten years in a flash, and you have all grown up. gone."
Hela's eyes fluctuated slightly.
In the past, they were just puppets under the control of Germinal, but now, Black Star has become a big shot in the universe, and he has also become a natural disaster-level powerhouse, and everything is different from before.
Thinking of the past, Hela felt a little emotional in her heart. The man in front of her had changed her life. If there was no Black Star, she might grow old on the planet with guilt and hatred, and would never be able to enter the magnificent universe.
"The last time we fought side by side was more than ten years ago. At that time, I couldn't help you much." Hela raised her eyebrows, high-spirited, "Now I have finally caught up with you!"
"I've been waiting ten years for this day."
Han Xiao patted Hela on the shoulder, smiled slightly, took two steps back, opened his arms, and raised his tone:
"Welcome to the Black Star Legion!"
