706 – Dark Elves
TL : GoldenLung
“We’ll go straight to the deal,” Lan Xuanyu said.
“Alright.”
The lift continued for a minute before stopping. Liu Guiting brought them into a spacious hall. As if to make the transaction convenient, the lift went up to the trading center.
Upon arriving, they finally saw the figures of the other pirates. In this hall that was over 10,000 square meters, there were over 100 pirates in twos and threes.
Lan Xuanyu’s appearance didn’t attract much attention as the pirates were busy with their own things.
Liu Guichao brought them to a metal counter. Behind the metal counter, there was actually a robot on duty. There was a warship trading symbol here.
“Warship trading, requesting warship evaluation.” Under Lan Xuanyu’s gaze, Liu Guiting entered a series of numbers.
Very soon, the robot raised its head and its eyes flickered with red light. “Evaluation request approved. Parking id confirmed. Evaluation will be completed in three hours. Please come back in three hours.”
A metal plate appeared in the robot’s hand. Liu Guichang took the metal plate and handed it to Lan Xuanyu respectfully. He whispered, “After the assessment, they will tell us the value of the four warships. If you agree, we can proceed with the transaction. Once the transaction is completed, we will take the rare metals and leave. The transactions here are paid through rare metals. Different rare metals have different values. The base value will be compared to the Federation coins.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded. “Alright, bring us to another place and see what we can buy.”
“Yes.” Liu Guiting agreed and brought Lan Xuanyu and the others to the other counters. Lan Xuanyu sent a message to the 33 Sky Wings warship parked in space, indicating that everything was normal and told Ding Zhuohan the transaction time.
This Third Exchange Center was divided into many areas, including the warship trading area that they just went to, the weapons trading area, the goods trading area, the metal trading area, the slave trading area, and so on.
What surprised Lan Xuanyu was that most of the pirates who came here were wearing masks and even helmets, as though they were trying to hide their identities.
Very soon, Lan Xuanyu saw an area that he was interested in, the information trading area.
It was because of Liu Guiting’s explanation of the high value of information that he was interested in this. With his signal, Liu Guichao brought them to the front of the intelligence trading area.
At this moment, there was only one pirate here and when he saw this pirate, Lan Xuanyu was taken aback.
It was a female pirate who was at least 1.8 meters tall. She was dressed in a red light armor that seemed to be a type of equipment between a mecha and an implant, protecting her body. She wore an eye mask that covered half of her face, revealing only a pair of strange pink eyes. Her long red hair hung loosely behind her, and a pair of sharp ears peeked out.
Upon seeing this female pirate, Lan Xuanyu and the others were taken aback. Subconsciously, Lan Xuanyu glanced at Yuanen Huihui.
Sharp ears, could she be an elf?
Since when could elves become pirates?
Yuanen Huihui naturally saw her too and instinctively took a few steps forward. Following that, Lan Xuanyu felt an unstable fluctuation in his aura and a sharp aura erupted.
“Huihui,” Lan Xuanyu called out.
Yuanen Huihui immediately woke up and his sharp aura weakened. But in this short period of time, the female pirate in front also sensed it. She turned around and looked at the group of pirates with black masks behind her.
Lan Xuanyu stood at the front of the people from the 33 Sky Wings and naturally looked at her.
The lady scoffed and turned back, continuing to operate a machine in front of her. She didn’t say anything to Lan Xuanyu’s team, as though she was sure that they wouldn’t dare to fight here.
Right at this moment, Lan Xuanyu heard Yuanen Huihui’s furious voice transmission. “Dark elves, they are traitors. They are the dark fire elves of the dark elves.”
Dark elves? This was the first time Lan Xuanyu had heard of this race, but he could tell from Yuanen Huihui’s tone that this dark elf was clearly not in harmony with the elves on his planet.
Liu Guiting gave Lan Xuanyu a look and Lan Xuanyu followed him to the side.
Liu Guiting whispered, “Are your people interested in that female pirate just now? It’s not impossible. As long as we can afford the price, I can try to talk to her.”
Lan Xuanyu glanced at him. “No need. Do you know her background?”
Liu Guichao said, “From the markings on her armor, she seems to be from the Black Forest Pirates.”
“Black Forest pirate crew? What do you know?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
Liu Guichao said, “They are one of the few super pirate groups that are not under the control of the seven great Pirate Lords. They are very strong and nobody knows where their base is. It is said that they have a small planet that belongs to them and the internal management is very strict. However, the female pirates in the Black Forest are said to be top-notch and as long as one pays the price, one can…”
Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows. “Let’s just talk about their battle power. How can a pirate crew be classified as a super pirate crew ?”
Liu Guichang said, “The pirate groups directly subordinates of the seven great Pirate Lords of Heaven Planet are all super pirate groups. From a certain perspective, Heaven Planet is a pirate paradise guarded by the seven great pirate groups. All the pirates have to pay the protection fee to the seven great Pirate Lords when they enter there. And other than the seven great Pirate Lords, there are three known super pirate groups. The Black Forest pirate group is one of them. I’m not sure about their actual combat strength. But to become a super pirate group, they must have at least 300 warships. It is said that the Black Forest pirate group once destroyed an alien planet. They are very strong and their warships are very unique. They are very agile and ruthless on the battlefield. They are also very good at hiding warships. Most radars cannot find their warships. This is a very mysterious pirate group.”
While they were talking, the red-haired female pirate who was dressed in red armor turned around and looked in Yuanen Huihui’s direction.
Yuanen Huihui looked at her as well.
The current Yuanen Huihui had grown a lot and was about 1.75 meters tall, but he was half a head shorter than the female pirate.
As their eyes met, the female pirate suddenly pulled her breastplate and grinned. “I don’t like weak little things like you. Stay away from me as soon as possible. Otherwise, I’ll crush you to death.” She didn’t have any intention of restraining herself just because there were other people from the 33 Sky Wing.
Yuanen Huihui’s gaze turned cold as he took a step forward. The aura on his body suddenly intensified as he pressed down on the other party with incomparable sharpness.
However, the female pirate did not give in at all. A dark red flame suddenly rose from her body and a strong and oppressive aura immediately surged forth. It was not only targeted at Yuanen Huihui alone, but it enveloped everyone from the 33 Sky Wings.
“Yinke !” A cold voice suddenly rang out.
The flames on the female pirate’s body immediately extinguished as she turned her head to the side. A person covered in a large black cloak walked over. Her speed didn’t seem fast, but it was as though she had shrunk the ground into an inch and arrived here in the blink of an eye.
“Let’s go,” the black-robed man said coldly before turning to the side.
The female pirate scoffed and gestured to Yuanen Huihui with a cutting throat motion before following the black-robed man.
Everyone in the 33 Sky Wings turned to look at Lan Xuanyu and he shook his head gently.
