King of the Stars [Rebirth]

"Are you sure you saw Arthur's people in the square?" Across the large wooden desk, the ruler of Heijin Port, the well-known border black market businessman "Anteater" Francie asked with a gloomy expression.

"My lord, they are indeed Arthur's people. They walked around the square, as if they were looking for something." Not daring to hide anything, the servant replied immediately.

Due to being too close to Nader Star and relying on the other party's protection, Heijin Port has never emphasized military power. Free trade is its job, and its defense is relatively weak.In the past, this was a way to maintain the relationship between the two and ensure that Nader, a ruthless, cunning bastard, would not become suspicious.But now, the weak military defense has made Heijin Port passive. It is not interesting to have soldiers approaching the city. Without sufficient means of self-protection, and being in such a key geographical location, Heijin Port has become fat on the chopping board.

Francie was a businessman, and he didn't have much loyalty to Luther Nader.How to ensure wealth and serve the next ruler is what he needs to consider most.Therefore, he put a lot of thought into the messenger sent by the Stars, and kept an eye on the other party's movements while enticing him.Of course, he would not miss the sudden move to the open-air dance like today.

Therefore, when the person who reported to Arthur appeared in the square, his heart immediately hung up.Francie is not a fool, he knows that Lord Nader's number one confidant has sneaked into Heijin Port.In sensitive times, this is not a good sign.So when Arthur checked into the Black River Hotel, he tried his best to arrange for the spokesperson of the Stars to leave.

However, that person didn't leave right away, and instead appeared at the open-air dance at the same time as Arthur's people.Is this a signal that the stars are going to trade with the main star?Francie wasn't sure, but he didn't dare to take it lightly at this moment.If the two jump over themselves and start trading, then the existence of Heijingang will be even weaker.And to be honest, he really didn't expect Nader to cooperate with the pirate he hated to the bone.He originally thought that that guy would choose the "Golden Son" who also belonged to the Federation.

After thinking in silence for a moment, Francie finally tapped on the desk with her knuckles: "I will meet with Chu Nan in the afternoon, and we want to talk further about cooperation."

He must make up his mind.After all, Qunxing is the only one who has sent a signal to him. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, he might be crushed by this big wave.And Arthur's behavior is not normal, he must be careful to guard against the cunning border king on the main planet, and not let him cause any trouble.

"It's very nice here." Walking into the room, Griffin whistled. Although the specifications of this hotel are not as good as Heihe Hotel, the configuration of this hotel is quite good, and the price is probably not cheap. It can be seen that Jixing is now Had a good time.With a glance on the table, he saw the name on the door card, stopped involuntarily, turned his head and asked, "Minaer?"

"Fake identity." Yan Beichen answered casually, not paying much attention to this question.

Griffin smiled.Also, how could he know.Five years ago, it was this fake identity that accompanied him to win the knight assessment and made his landline become a "roar".However, he still prefers the current situation to the unrestrained hatred at that time.As a Griffin, get that person's friendship.

Smiling and looking away, he asked, "How have you been these years?"

"Not bad, a master taught me how to make mechas, and I am busy with business every day." Yan Beichen told half of the truth.

"That's why you were asked to steal the Blue Shadow Titanium alone. Could it be that this is some kind of 'examination'?" Griffin raised his eyebrows and asked.This is indeed the path Polaris will choose, which also explains why he was able to sneak into the star network and join the military academy.In the long history of the Federation, there have been many defectors and exiles, including many armor masters. It is no wonder that Polar Star can quietly appear in the headquarters of the Federation soldiers.

"You can also say that." As long as you get the blue shadow titanium, the final preparation of "Shadow Mirage" may be completed, and it is indeed a "teacher".Yan Beichen smiled and asked, "What about you? Where have you been all these years?"

"Let's wander around. I have worked hard in many places." He has been used to living in no fixed place after fighting in the western border of the Federation for many years.Even the most difficult battlefield is more likable than Floating Void City.

Yan Beichen was keenly aware of the hidden things in the other party's emotions, and thought for a moment: "If possible, solve the troubles around you, you can go with me."

Head to the Constellation to be his trusty sidekick.

Griffin froze for a moment. This request was much more sincere than the previous "Soldier Promise". After joining the Oswald family, the family mark was branded on him.Now as long as his biological father wanted it, he could easily find his place.Going with Jixing will only harm the other party, but on the contrary, it is not a big problem.He even hopes to take Pole Star and join his fleet together, giving him safety and security that no one can match.

It's a pity that he couldn't explain the hidden identity immediately.At least wait until this war is resolved before telling Jixing everything.Griffin smiled: "Of course, you are my soldier."

As if it was a tacit understanding, the last worries in the hearts of the two of them were also put to rest.Yan Beichen walked to the desk, took out a crystal screen, and displayed the materials Chu Nan gave him.During this period of time, that guy was really not lazy. The information not only included the structural diagram of the defense center and underground warehouse of Heijin Port, but also showed the three-dimensional image of the secret vault on the lower floor of the center.I don't know what method Chu Nan used to make Francie's old fox reveal so many things.

"You are a good informant." Of course, Griffin could understand what was inside, and couldn't help but be speechless.With this information, sneaking into a secret vault isn't much of a problem.But it is not that simple to steal things out safely.Not only do you have to go through the many blockades along the way, even if you enter the vault, as long as you move the Blue Shadow Titanium, the final security alarm will be triggered, making the thief face siege and interception.No wonder Polar Star is worried about how to start.

Yan Beichen didn't think about this. After thinking for a while, he said, "The three-dimensional influence is imaginary after all. I'm afraid we need to investigate it on the ground."

The exhibition center is the core area of ​​the collection conference. During the conference, countless novelty weapons will be exhibited here for appreciation by all potential consumers participating in the conference.During the exhibition period, the flow of people here is quite large. In addition to knights and wealthy merchants, some soldiers will also come to watch other people's masterpieces.

Mixed in the crowd, Yan Beichen and Griffin followed the pace of other spectators and walked along the tall display cabinets.The hall is divided into two floors. The upper floor is the mecha exhibition hall. In the magnificent hall, several giant mechas stand like towering peaks in the center of the hall, and small and medium mechas of different models are scattered around.The name of the maker and the performance of the mech are marked in detail in front of each showcase.If you are interested in these mechs, you can contact the armor maker to discuss the price.

Pretending to be very interested, Griffin glanced at the mechas, and Griffin moved to his companion's ear and asked in a low voice: "How about these? Are you interested in referring to them?"

Yan Beichen snorted: "It's only B-level, what's the reference value?"

Of course there are Tier A mechas, but they won't be displayed so easily. They will have to wait until the last day of the conference.However, the B-rank mecha is not a big commodity. It is only natural to be so arrogant, which is really in line with this kid's style.Griffin couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his claws to rub the opponent's head, but Yan Beichen easily dodged it: "As long as you can drive, Shengwu is not a problem."

Griffin blinked: "Are you looking down on my combat power?"

"Who looked down on my skills first?"

Looking at the other's raised eyebrows, Griffin almost laughed out loud.Yan Beichen also suppressed the smile on his lips: "Stop talking nonsense, the business is important."

Different from Griffin's focus, Yan Beichen confirmed at a glance that "Nightmare" had not been delivered to the exhibition hall. As long as it was still in the warehouse under the city hall, it would not affect the plan.Now the guise of Lanying Titanium is more important.

Hearing this, Griffin also put away his teasing thoughts, and walked down the floor with Yan Beichen.

Different from the first floor, the second floor displays all kinds of mecha weapons, ranging from rail guns to particle light knives.However, you can refer to the list provided by the organizer for weapons, and only those fanatics will come down to visit them in person.Therefore, the traffic on this floor is relatively scarce, scattered in front of each showcase.

Walking around the glass cabinet with flickering lights, the two avoided the sight of the surroundings and came to the emergency passage in the corner.This is one of the passages leading to the lower warehouse, but considering the safety hazard, the door is usually closed.With a flick of Yan Beichen's hand, a ring decoder appeared on his fingertips. With a light shake on the door lock, the door opened silently.

Griffin raised his eyebrows. There are many types of decoders, but the ones that won't alert the alarm system are still a minority.Yan Beichen was not surprised by such a result. These gadgets could remotely communicate with "Nightmare", allowing little Campbell to solve a door lock, which was not even an appetizer.

Quietly, the two of them slipped through the door and walked down the passage to the vault further below.It is said to be a vault, but this is actually Francie's secret warehouse for storing high-end weapons. Apart from rare materials like Blue Shadow Titanium, there are also many high-end mechs and weapons.Although the security guard is tight, it is not impeccable. After all, no one would be stupid enough to grab a mecha on his site.Even if someone succeeds, it is impossible to escape his defense system and leave safely.

Therefore, the intrusion of the two was smooth, and they quickly bypassed the peripheral security personnel and came to the underground warehouse.Yan Beichen called up the structure diagram again and looked at it. He looked up at the zenith, where there was a long exhaust pipe leading to the inner vault.He winked, and Griffin immediately squatted down knowingly. Yan Beichen stepped on the opponent's shoulder without hesitation, stretched out his hand and swiped the ion dagger on the ceiling, and immediately cut a hole one person wide in the outer wall of the pipe.

Gently pushing away the alloy plate, Yan Beichen jumped down, stuffed something into Griffin's hand, and said in a low voice, "There is an infrared surveillance camera in the tunnel, take this with you."

Griffin's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized what it was.If you want to shield infrared surveillance, of course you need a special shield, but this kind of instrument is aimed at spectral response, which is likely to affect his optical camouflage.If you reveal your true face at this time, it is not something that can be explained.He actually forgot such an important thing!

Not noticing the slight change in Griffin's expression, Yan Beichen put on the shield first, grabbed the pipe wall with a light jump, and rushed into the passage without a sound.Griffin gritted his teeth, stuck the thing on his body, and jumped up quickly.As soon as he entered the passage, his hanging heart relaxed a little. Just as he had imagined, the passage was pitch black and extremely narrow, making it impossible to see people clearly.

As long as Polestar doesn't turn its head, as long as it doesn't get itself into any light, it should be fine.Secretly heaving a sigh of relief, Griffin followed Yan Beichen cautiously and crawled to the depths together.

This exhaust duct, of course all made of metal, any slight bump would be magnified several times, exposing the intruder.However, the actions of the two of them made no sound, like stealthy predators, crawling to the depths quickly and silently.After passing through two steeply angled slopes, light could be seen faintly. In front of them was a slightly spacious platform, which was the central ventilation hole. Their destination should be below.

Yan Beichen squinted his eyes to measure the distance, then deftly walked around the fan blades, stopped on the opposite partition, and peeked down.This place really is the center of the vault, where you can vaguely see the afterimages of several mechs, and a row of safes in the depths, obviously storing things of a higher level.The blue shadow titanium they want to steal is in it.

After quickly confirming the location of the safe, Yan Beichen raised his head, and looked into the passage with the faint light.
