Chapter 111 Gunnar's Fury
In the virtual universe, a burly minotaur with two curved horns on his head glares at the screen.
"What did you say? The first batch of goods sent to Kamiya Planet has gone missing?"
"Yes, Master," the black-haired man on the screen said in a panic, "The last time we reported our location was when we arrived at Kamiya Star and left the Dark Universe, and then we lost contact with them. The recipient also said that no goods arrived."
"Click!" The bull-headed man hung up the phone.
"Everyone associated with Yulan Star is a slave; they couldn't possibly betray me." The minotaur's eyes burned with rage. "Could it be Tianhong Human Resources... No, impossible. We've been cooperating for tens of thousands of years, and the people involved have changed several times. They wouldn't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs."
"Now that we've reached the vicinity of Kamiya Star, we should be able to find some clues."
Immediately, the Minotaur Gunnar used all his connections to investigate the disappearance of the starship.
Magnolia Star holds extraordinary significance for Gengna.
He was once an elf trained by the Black Cloud Society, an ordinary level three elite. After becoming a trainee mercenary in the universe, he had to rely on himself for everything. He wandered in the starry sky, fought on mineral planets, and earned a little bit of meager merit.
Until he discovered Magnolia Star.
Discovering a new planet inhabited by life would be a huge gain for a galactic adventurer, but the calm man was not blinded by the surprise.
Seeing the beautiful appearance of the native humans on this planet, he had other ideas.
Even the most ordinary life-bearing planet, if reported to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, would only receive a reward of 10 billion Black Dragon Coins, and if reported to the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, it would only receive 30 merits.
Why should I report on such a remote area?
After decades of operation, he established distribution channels to supply goods to more than a dozen large slave traders in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, who then distributed the goods to tens of thousands of trading planets within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
Of the more than 100 billion people on the planet, with nearly 2 million born each year, only one million elven beauties are sold to the outside world.
Gunnar understood the principle that scarcity increases value, and he was very kind, choosing only the rarest among the best.
It doesn't require much cost at all; the annual revenue that Yulan Star brings him exceeds three billion Black Dragon Coins.
It is equivalent to ten top-tier life-bearing planets and hundreds of ordinary life-bearing planets.
Of course, Yulan Star was not registered. Not to mention that he couldn't afford it at the time, even if he could afford it later, he still couldn't resist the covetousness of others.
Relying on the benefits brought by the Magnolia Star, he became a cosmic-level figure in less than a thousand years and also gained a position in the Black Cloud Society.
Even now, Yulan Star remains important to Gengna. The combined revenue from his hundreds of planetary territories is only comparable to that of Yulan Star.
Two days later.
"My starship was hijacked by space pirates outside of God Valley. Shouldn't the Black Dragon Mountain Empire provide an explanation?" Gengna looked at the surveillance footage sent by the Empire's official sources, his anger rising.
On the screen, the Imperial official smiled: "Mr. Gengner, this transport starship is not registered under any company or individual's name. How can you call it a hijacking? What evidence do you have to prove it was hijacked?"
"Isn't this record enough to prove anything?"
"The surveillance footage only shows two powerful individuals, roughly at the cosmic level, approaching the starship from space. Then the starship opened its doors, and the two entered and left," the Imperial official said. "Is this a hijacking? Perhaps that starship originally belonged to those two."
"you!"
"For transport ships without identification records, whatever happens outside of planetary territory is not the responsibility of Imperial law," the Imperial official said calmly before hanging up.
"snort!"
Getting angry was useless; all Gengna could do was carefully examine the surveillance video.
"A mentalist? Even riding a flying weapon, he's this slow. He must be around level two or three, at most level five."
Gengna's eyes flickered.
Losing a shipload of cargo is nothing, even losing those slaves and a starship is nothing.
But why would a cosmic-class vessel target a starship? Wouldn't the enemy obtain the navigation logs and head to Magnolia Star?
In the starry sky, a huge, pitch-black fortress stood, the distant starlight reflected on its cold surface, casting a chilling glow. Deep passageways on its surface were filled with spaceships, mostly Class C, with the occasional Class D or E.
Inside one of the passages, a D3-class spaceship flew out with a streak of light, quickly accelerating to the speed of light and disappearing into the starry sky.
……
The Kingdom of the Frozen Sea, atop a snow-capped mountain where the icy winds cut through the air.
"Let's practice." Heather, with her icy, jade-like features, parted her lips slightly.
"yes!"
Nan Si held a long knife, and suddenly green water flowed around her body.
"Whoosh!" She moved, her body like a phantom, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, stirring up a white blade of light. Within the blade of light, which was full of endless vitality, there were also flashes of electricity, as if it was about to sweep away everything around it.
After a long silence, Nan Si sheathed her sword, bowed, and said, "Teacher!"
"Hmm, it's alright."
Heatherine nodded slightly.
Heatherine was very fond of this disciple.
Nan Si not only possesses the talent of the Law of Water, but also the talent of the Law of Lightning, which gave her a big surprise as soon as she arrived.
Heather also discovered the Heart of the Ocean within Nancy's body, which made Heather sigh with emotion. Who could have given her such a precious treasure? Was it that person?
Or is this disciple's fate extraordinary?
Of course, at Heather's level, the primary focus is not on physical talent, as physical talent can be improved through external means. Moreover, once you reach the level of a Realm Lord, the difference between talent and lack thereof becomes much smaller. At this point, the most important thing is one's temperament and comprehension.
Of course, physical talent is indispensable. Without talent, even becoming a realm master is difficult, let alone anything else.
No matter how much she likes her, Heatherine won't show it. She'll only be stricter with Nancy. The universe is cruel, and only by making her stronger can she truly benefit her disciple.
……
In the hazy starry sky, a silver spaceship suddenly appeared.
The virtual reality environment was activated, and everyone in the control room saw the small sun in the distance.
"We are now 327 million kilometers away from Yulan Star." Xiao Ai directly displayed the image observed by the spaceship's telescope on the control screen.
On the screen, a beautiful, aquamarine planet slowly rotates.
Gao Sheng looked behind the spaceship. Sparse starlight, hazy distant star systems, and behind it all was a vast expanse of darkness.
This dwarf galaxy is already remote, and the star system where Magnolia Star is located is even further behind a vast expanse of interstellar dust.
No wonder they dared to operate this slave trade without registering.
According to the star map of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, this is the Taf Independent Dwarf Galaxy, which has less than two billion stars and fewer than three thousand habitable planets.
The so-called eight thousand star systems of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire refer to large and medium-sized star systems. Dwarf star systems that are independent or attached to large and medium-sized star systems are not included.
The silver spaceship did not accelerate and remained suspended in the void.
