"Alice, Claude, are you there? I'll bring a 'big shot' back to visit."
Following the sound of the door lock unlocking, Miss Jerusalem announced to her companion cheerfully, and then opened the door and said "please" to Mason who was smiling behind her.
It turned out that there were quite a few people in the house.
It's not just the three-person team codenamed "Final Fantasy", many other familiar ronin are also gathering here, like a small lively banquet, but when Mason appears, the room is quiet.
"Hello everyone."
Mason raised his hand and waved to the people in front of him, introducing himself:
"I'm Mason Cooper, the captain of Team K, a personal friend of Lord Wizard, and I'm considered a half-rogue."
"There is no such thing as 'half'!"
A lively voice sounded from the room, and under Mason's surprised gaze, a big turtle wearing a purple ninja eyepatch jumped up, holding up the wine glass in his hand and cheering:
"Ha, the real big man has come to our rogue's lair, everyone is welcome! I pay the highest respect to our leader of the rebels!
I drank this glass of wine, you can do whatever you want. "
"You're drunk, bastard, come down, don't be ashamed."
The other three turtles hastily stretched out their hands to grab this shameful guy and pulled him back to the table.
But with the episode of this reckless guy, the slightly awkward atmosphere in the room has eased. Under the leadership of Miss Tifa, Mason sat down to drink and chat with these elite rogues.
There were not many of them. Apart from the Jerusalem trio and the four tortoises, there was only one guy in a windbreaker who was drinking with several ladies of different styles.
Yo, isn’t this Master Li Sanguang and Miss Ada Wang? Your two elders also brought their families with them?
These tables are obviously small groups of familiar people. According to the information that Mason inquired in the next ten minutes, there are not many elite groups like this among the ronin, and the newly appointed wizard relies on himself His prestige recruited more than 50 groups in one go to make up for the loss of the pioneers of the Stars Club.
They are "specially invited elites", so it is naturally impossible to start from E-level members.
These guys are now at least C-level. Before Mason came, they were discussing how to complete the development mission of the Stars Club without violating their own principles.
In this field, Mason has the most say.
He began to popularize some "tricks for pioneering" to his "new friends", how to exploit the loopholes in the rules of the Stars Club, how to deal with inspections and questions from superiors, and so on.
His precepts and deeds made a group of people around him stunned.
My fellow, the means by which we resist the Constellation Society is nothing more than privately assisting the rebels in various worlds. You have directly penetrated into the Constellation Consortium and sneaked all the way to such a high position.
The stars have a high-level executive like you, it is really a blessing for eight lifetimes.
After drinking for three rounds, under the hint of Miss Tifa, the yellow-haired Crowder took the initiative to invite Mason to his weapon room. This guy is melancholy and taciturn, but his yellow hair is indeed quite classic.
"I saw Miss Alice busy in the kitchen just now, I thought I was wrong last time."
Mason lit a cigarette, leaned against the door of the weapon room, and said to the "male master" who was opening the vehicle in front of him:
"So, you were forced into exile without completing that fateful duel with Sephiroth?"
"No, we executed him."
Claude said without looking back:
"Alice's return from death is due to the help of the wizard. I can never repay his kindness to us in my life."
"So you agreed to join the Stars Club just to repay your kindness?"
Mason exhaled the smoke ring and asked:
"Don't you have any opinions on the famous swordsman you are in this era?
Actually, I also heard some gossip from my friends when I traveled through the worlds. The three of you are very active in some worlds, and you have even been on the reward list for conquerors.
I think, simple kindness is not enough to make you do what you are doing now, right? "
His question made the yellow-haired Claude hesitate.
A few seconds later, as the engine started, the headlights of the heavy black futuristic locomotive placed in the weapon room lit up, and the moment the darkness was dispelled, he whispered:
"We did have ideas, but we didn't know how to act, and we could only do some work within our capabilities. To be honest, Mr. Mason, I have learned about the whole process of Warlock's death in battle.
Compared with what you have done, we can only be regarded as small troubles.
Maybe we should learn from you. "
"Don't be so polite, I'm much younger than the three of you, if I really want to talk about it, maybe I should call you uncle."
Mason chuckled, and stepped forward to touch the battle-scarred heavy motorcycle. He took out engineering tools without Claude's introduction, and easily removed the outer armor of the vehicle, saying:
"Did you make this 'Fenrir' yourself? I also have a Fenrir."
"I have heard."
Claude says:
"I have a friend who participated in that war. He told me that your power armor kills all the clearers on their backs. As for my car, I just remodeled it when I was young, and it contains my weapons.
But was damaged in the last fight with the Scavenger Swarm. "
"I noticed."
Mason hacked into the locomotive's control system with the equipment he carried with him. When he opened the weapon compartment, he saw six seriously damaged special weapons.
This should be regarded as the category of engineering weapons.
A heavy main frame sword, plus three main swords of different lengths, and two unique auxiliary swords, combined with gears and mechanism structures, it is a great sword of destruction that requires special skills to wield.
Mason touched this unique weapon with his fingers, thinking about how to repair and improve it. With Lv10 engineering skills, he finalized the plan within a few seconds, took out the materials and smelted them, and started to get busy.
Claude is a very senior member of the Ronin. He has traveled a lot in the world, and his vision is also very high. When he saw that Mason kept taking out all kinds of materials that seemed very expensive at first glance to help him repair the weapon, the sword ranger was very quick. He showed a shy expression of embarrassment.
He even began to wonder if Mason was going to use this method to bribe him?
Just those few pieces of vibrating gold ore alone are enough to hire him to do a lot of things. Being an unorganized ronin mercenary is really not rich.
"I talked to the wizard before, and he told me that the rogues will applaud me, but if I want to buy people's hearts, one victory is not enough.
But I don’t actually have much contact with Ronin. To be precise, this is the first time I have private contact with you after joining the Stars Club. "
Mason used an engineering wrench to repair the main frame of the "Fenrir VI" in front of him, and asked:
"It was a lucky accident to meet Miss Tifa today. I would like to take this opportunity to ask you, Claude, what kind of reward do you need to fight for my cause?"
"Personally, maybe peace."
The yellow-haired ranger leaned against the door with folded arms and said softly:
"But the group of ronin is very complicated, there are all kinds of people. If you want to express a concept that can unite everyone, then maybe use hope or ideal?
Looking forward to the good things that will exist in the future, etc. "
"You can be more direct."
Mason glanced at him and said:
"You are actually waiting, right? Will there be a miracle in this shock? You hope that other people can bring you miracles, but you don't believe that you can create a future that belongs to everyone with your own hands. "
"You're joking."
Claude smiled.
He glanced at the lively banquet outside, and said softly:
"In this era, it is already very tiring for people like us who have no belonging to live, and everyone needs to do their best to resist the invasion of that dark thing.
Not everyone can achieve the same career as you, just like when facing the recruitment of the Stars Club, even if we don’t want to, we can only brand this devil’s tattoo on our arms.
Peace cannot be achieved by ideals alone.
Our old enemy, Sephiroth, was a terrible guy, but he did teach me this. "
"Okay, okay, I shouldn't talk about such heavy topics with friends I just met."
Mason shook his head, and after a few seconds, he clicked with a mechanical sound. Amidst the buzzing sound of the sword, Claude turned around in surprise and saw Mason swinging the heavy main frame sword.
During the adsorption of the special magnetic field structure, the other five knives were pulled to their respective positions one after another, and then completely folded into a black and silver-edged destruction sword with a flick of the wrist.
"After repairing, it has become a legendary quality, not bad, try it."
He threw the heavy weapon to Claude, and the latter felt that his weapon seemed to be reborn when he took it in his hand, and heard Mason say as if introducing a product:
"The vibrating gold frame has been added with magnetic field constraints, and the main body of the five knives has been repaired with celestial steel, and the Adamantium alloy coating has been done. When necessary, the magnetic field can be activated to adjust the trajectory of the sharp blades.
I don't have such a small energy source at hand, so I can only guarantee excellent damage within a range of 100 meters.
The good news is that I have inscribed them all, and now this knife can hurt spirits.
But remember to take care of it after each use. You can use special sword oil or the blood of the enemy. I added a bloodthirsty inscription to it, which can absorb the vitality of the enemy to heal you when necessary. "
"Thank you so much."
Claude put Fenrir Six-Type behind his back, bowed to Mason with great respect, and then saw Mason busy on his heavy motorcycle, and the latter said to him:
"The potential of this car is good, but your modification level is a bit poor. Now help me find some power units. I will make some professional-level modifications to this cute little one to make it more 'beautiful'."
"oh."
Great Sword Ranger responded and turned around to go out to find something, but he heard Mason say in a teasing tone:
"These services don't cost money, so don't worry about being burdened with a heavy loan and making me ask you to do some strange things. It's just my wish to see my childhood idol, Ms. Tifa, today.
But, Cloud, remember what I just said?
I hope to create a miracle for everyone in this shock, but there are some things that not only I can do, but you can also do, and some things must be done by you.
There was no chance before.
But now the top members of the Stars Club are all from us!
There is no need to be afraid or shrink back, let alone have any psychological burden. This is not my career alone. When that opportunity arises, I hope to see you on the battlefield. "
Amidst the sound of the engineering device being disassembled, Mason said:
"You don't have to give me an answer right now, it's always more impressive to use actions instead of words. By the way, you three should be the first rank among the rogues, right?"
"Us? No, we're not even close."
Claude shook his head and said:
" Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon among the rogues, even the wizard dare not say that he is the strongest ronin, as far as I know, there is a guy who wanders in various worlds and can knock me down with one hand.
It’s just that I have seen that half-devil for a long time. If I have the chance to meet him, I will also tell him what you said tonight to such a powerful guy. "
Watching Claude leave, Mason couldn't help being curious.
Tsk, who is the guy who can give Claude such a high evaluation? Wait, he just said half-devil? Hiss, it couldn't be that guy!
In this way, imitation of Yan Mo Dao can become a reality one day?
Er Barrel and Damian are in ecstasy! —
"I invited you to attend the ceremony! As a result, you sent a watery person to the stage, but you came to repair motorcycles for the young people yourself? This is not giving me, the new great mentor, any face, right?"
A few hours later, on the top floor of the Fort of Stars, in the office of the Lord Wizard, Old Shazam sat on a chair and yelled at Mason who came back smelling of alcohol.
He glanced at Mason holding the teacup, and said in a drawn out voice:
"That's right, how can chatting with a bad old man like me be as pleasant as getting along with lovely people like Miss Tifa and Miss Alice? If it weren't for me knowing what kind of person you are, Mason, I would suspect that you are going to be in front of yellow today." Mao's face turned yellow."
"Yo, you're quite up to date, and you even know about yellow hair."
Mason laughed, playing with the Ultimate Eraser-style resurrection lighter signed by Miss Jerusalem in his hand, and took out an exquisite wooden box from his luggage and put it on the desk of the chattering old Shazam.
The old man glanced at him and opened the wooden box.
There are twelve spells with different textures neatly stacked inside, but unlike the original version, the dark magic power shrouded on it can be clearly perceived without looking at it with eyes.
The great wizard master reached out and picked up a thunder pig charm.
The power of "electric eye is compelling" is activated when it is buckled in the hand, and the dark thunder light bursts from the eyes in the air, turns complex lines and hits the potted leaves at the door with precision.
He said in surprise:
"The power of the Twelve Talismans has been enhanced? You did not summon the magic power of the Holy Lord but obtained power from other existences?"
"Yes, this is an upgraded version of the spell, and it will be given to you as a gift from your appointment."
Mason did not explain the source of the power of the twelve charms.
After all, Hei Qiyi is a low-key strong man who does not want to be famous. He pushed the box of twelve spells to the old wizard, and whispered:
"You are the newly appointed logistics instructor, and you are in charge of the stellar club's secret treasure house. Although all the good things in it have been destroyed by the warlocks before, the materials in it are still astronomical.
I'm a little tight recently, and I want to get a batch of materials from the organization's treasure house. It just so happens that the K team has been assigned the duty of providing weapons to the colleagues of the Constellation Society?
So please do your best. "
"Is this letting me use power for personal gain?"
Old Shazam rolled his eyes and said:
"It doesn't feel good for me to do this kind of thing right after I took office? If Your Excellency Destiny suddenly wants to send someone to check the accounts, I can't tell."
"Oh, it's hard to say whether our organization can survive the next three months. Who has the time to care about the accounts?"
Mason took out another box of spells and pushed it over, persuading him:
"Besides, warlocks lose an astronomical amount of supplies in a losing battle. Isn't this a great opportunity to settle the bill? Just a little leak from your hand now is enough for me to use for a long time.
We are all our own people, so don't be so tight in this regard.
You see, I just repaired motorcycles and weapons for your descendants without asking for money. Li Sanguang’s weapon box was also modified. I also gave Miss Ida Wang a set of combat uniforms to update the turtles. After buying the weapon, the turtle shell was maintained and an inscription was engraved.
This is proof of sincerity. "
Ten minutes later, Mason stood alone in the material warehouse of the Constellation Club's secret treasure house, and the treasured materials from various worlds in front of him had gathered here.
In Old Shazam's ledger at this time, all the items in these ten warehouse packages have been worn out.
Alas, financial power has always been a lucrative position, but now the stellar association's purse has opened its arms to Mason, like a rat that has broken into a rice bowl, and he must feast on it.
"Such is the privilege of the victor."
Mason opened his arms in the warehouse, and he whispered:
"No wonder everyone doesn't like failure. Thank you, Your Excellency the Warlock who is already in the kingdom of heaven. If the great cause is achieved in the future, I must give you a hard credit."
