Chapter 116: The Heavy Sword
A mid-level professional, even one at the peak of level 6, is still considered high-level cannon fodder, so one does not feel bad even if he is consumed.
But high-level professionals are different. Every high-level professional is an absolute backbone and foundation.
If he breaks through to the seventh level, even if something happens to the mercenary group, the White Rose Legion behind them will do their best to protect him.
The most important thing is that in the Gloria Empire, once you are promoted to a high-level professional, you can directly apply to the imperial family for a noble title! That is not just a title, but a real noble with a territory equivalent to the title!
But for a person like Jet who has already exhausted his potential at the sixth level, the probability of breaking through to the seventh level is extremely slim.
Unless, you use some rare treasures to increase the probability of breakthrough.
But the value of those treasures, even with all the wealth he had saved over the years, was not enough to get any of them.
Just when Jet was unwilling to accept his fate, someone from a certain force found him.
According to the scenes in Jet's soul memory, the man was wearing a black robe, was slightly thin, and looked no different from an ordinary person overall.
But what impressed Jet the most was the man's voice.
It was a hoarse, magnetic, neutral voice with extremely clear and standard pronunciation, carrying a strange and magical charm.
From him, Jet learned what he would be transporting on his next mission.
Hundreds of extremely high-quality brilliant crystals!
Upon hearing the news, Jet's originally vigilant mood became extremely complicated.
What few people know is that after his strength completely stagnated, Jet had repeatedly asked his superiors behind him to allocate to him the materials needed to reach the seventh level.
But each of his applications was rejected on the grounds of insufficient contribution.
You know, he is no longer young. With every additional year of delay, it will become more difficult for him to break through the seventh level.
Even if he only obtained one twentieth of this batch of brilliant crystals, he was confident that he could increase his probability of breaking through to the seventh level from close to zero to thirty percent.
Maybe the probability is also not high, but it is enough for him to take a gamble.
There is only one chance in everyone's life to break through from level 6 to level 7.
When the coordination of a professional's mental strength and physical body reaches ninety-nine percent, it reaches the sixth level limit.
At this time, if the professional wants to break through, he needs to concentrate all his energy and spirit, and use a highly concentrated point as a "spark" to ignite his entire spiritual sea.
Utilizing this pure spiritual fire that burns everything, the spiritual sea and the physical body can be completely forged into one, completing the transition from imperfection to perfection.
Sublimate the spiritual essence of the seventh level to the utmost and be reborn in nirvana.
This is a very dangerous process. This kind of "burning" not only consumes mental power, but also burns the upper limit of mental power at the same time.
If the synchronization between the spiritual sea and the physical body has not reached 100% when the spiritual power is exhausted, then the breakthrough person will completely lose his spiritual power, and all the years of hard training will be lost in one day.
At this point, Jet was actually completely moved, but his many years of loyalty to the White Rose Legion still constrained his decision.
He needed to find a reason to convince himself.
Whatever the reason is—
Seeing the key to Jet's hesitation, the mysterious man smiled inexplicably, and then spoke calmly, telling him the future destination and use of this batch of brilliant crystals.
Smuggling to other hostile countries of the Gloria Empire, cultivating trusted subordinates of certain people... and helping the descendants of nobles with no qualifications to forcibly build up their realm.
Listening to the mysterious man's deep words, Jet suddenly felt an evil fire burning in his chest.
I fought my way out of the pile of dead bodies, stepping on countless corpses before I finally crawled to this position with difficulty.
But what was the result? I handled so many shady things for the White Rose Army, but it was not even enough to exchange for a share of resources to reach the seventh level? Why did I have to do all the dirty work, but when the benefits were distributed afterwards, I didn't get a share? Why did those useless nobles enjoy the resources that I could not enjoy even if I risked my life?
Why?!
Originally, due to the existence of prophecy magic, even though he was angry, Jet still didn't dare to do anything.
But when the man suggested to him that he had a way to confuse the fate of the whole thing, Jet made up his mind to do it.
The escorted Brilliant Crystals were divided into 30% and 70% respectively, with Jet taking 30% and the mysterious man and the organization behind him taking 70%.
The organization behind the mysterious man is responsible for action planning, covering up the fate of the whole incident, and helping Jet escape the empire and seek refuge in the Itel Kingdom Federation, and Jet must fully cooperate with their actions.
After finalizing the action plan, Jet was completely determined.
Think about it, what does he need to do in this whole thing, to stop the smuggling of a batch of important strategic materials? Oh - merciful gods, what a patriotic and just act this is! If it is spread out, maybe he can get a small purple medal awarded by the royal family! ①
Therefore, I, Jet, did not betray, but chose the latter between the interests of the Legion and the Empire with great pain! If the members knew about this, they would surely be willing to sacrifice for the Empire, right? . ….….Then , as planned, Jet took over this mission from the White Rose Legion.
But his target from the very beginning was this batch of escorted supplies.
Before the action, Jet informed the deputy captain, his right-hand man, and two of his true confidants.
Then, under the pretext of changing the secret route, he led the mercenary group to temporarily change direction, going deep into the Dusk Forest and setting up camp in a canyon between the Falling Star Mountains.
After the camp was set up, Jet announced to the many mercenary members that a celebration party would be held in advance, and there would be unlimited wine and barbecue tonight.
Many mercenaries who trusted Jet did not suspect him and drank happily around the campfire.
But what they didn't know was that the wine had been mixed with a special, delayed-onset poison.
That night, while the mercenaries were sleeping, the poison took effect. One by one, the mercenaries died in agony in their sleep, and the few who managed to hold on were also killed on the spot by Jet's henchmen.
With the blood and lives of these mercenaries as the price and medium, the thread of fate of the whole incident was temporarily twisted and disturbed, which prevented the White Rose Legion from realizing that the supplies had been robbed in the first place.
However, the people in the legion have actually been paying close attention to the movements of the Heavy Sword Mercenary Group.
Realizing that the mercenary group's route was wrong, the legion immediately sent strong men to investigate secretly.
Following some clues, the legion found Jet's long-dead body in a stream on the border of the empire.
All valuable items on the body had been searched out, leaving only a pair of shorts to maintain his final dignity.
Ironically, it was Jeter's only fatal wound.
From a dagger deeply inserted into the back of the heart—— . ①: Gloria Third-Class Medal, awarded to those who have made significant contributions to the empire Gu——→Recommendation Ticket
