Chapter 2: The second iron pillar
Exile is an asteroid on the edge of the wilderness galaxy. It is located at the junction of various races and belongs to the bee race.
It wasn't originally called Exile and had a beautiful name.
But since the Bee Clan gradually declined and became like rotten wood soaked in muddy water for a long time, the Exile Star was forced to abandon its original name.
Most of the people who gather here are fugitives, and star thieves, there are also black hukou from nowhere, or exiled criminals, of course, there are more descendants of the above people.
The fist here is better than the law, and from time to time there are homeless people killed in fights and robberies in the junkyard.
The black market is extremely rampant here. As long as you have money, many illegal items can be bought on the black market.
As for whether you will be hacked by others after you buy it, it depends on the buyer's ability.
The small town of Isaac is wealthy in Exile, but it is still full of fights and chaos every day, boring and scary.
Today's Isaac town is different from usual. When the sun sets and the sky is stained with ink, the whole of Isaac gradually boils.
Anyone who is well-informed knows that there is an auction in the largest black market in Isaac today. It is said that the D-level energy spar will be sold at the auction.
Everyone knows that whether it is to improve the spiritual sea in the body or activate the mechanical equipment, it is inseparable from the energy spar.
The higher the level of energy spar, the more energy it contains, and the rarer it is.
Naturally, it is more expensive.
The D-level energy spar is a piece of fat for the residents living in the exiled star where materials are scarce.
The auction starts in half an hour.
Compared with the brightly lit front hall of the auction, the light in the rear warehouse where the goods are stacked is much dim.
The air was filled with excessively rich moisture, giving rise to a dank smell.
"New Moon, move this box of feed to the next room." Someone shouted over there.
The girl whose name was called stood up without saying a word. She was wearing a jumpsuit with a hood. The wide black jumpsuit covered her like a sack. You can see your fly.
The box containing the feed was more than two meters high. After the girl lifted the box, she went to the next door at a relaxed pace that did not fit her slender figure.
Crescent Moon was hungry, hungry, she had been hungry for many days.
To be precise, not long after she left the Lingnamos ship, she was hungry.
Most of the people here drink unpleasant-smelling nutrient solutions, and those with better conditions will get some exotic animal meat to eat.
To eliminate hunger, the crescent moon robbed her, and she also attacked the person who had attacked her, but after eating the food, she still felt hungry.
Hungry.
Even the "delicious food" that entered her stomach couldn't offset her previous energy consumption.
So New Moon stopped fighting.
She found a job because she didn't have a brain-light account and no ID, so her salary was pitiful.
But fortunately, it's a package.
The room next door is used to store rare living creatures. The auction house not only auctions energy spar, but also some precious pets, or beautiful tools.
Bah.
Crescent put down the box in his hand.
This box contains the feed of some precious pets. The storage space is not large. The pets and the feed are placed in the same room, which is also convenient for feeding.
A burst of animal roars came from behind, and there were crying sounds mixed with the animal roars.
In the past, there was only the roar of the beast. After hearing the cry, the new moon turned around.
In the warehouse, more than half of the space is filled with cube cages, and the dense cages are one after the other, and the distance between each is only less than half a meter.
In these cages, there are half-human-height white giant eggs that have not yet broken their shells, beautiful birds with bright fur and colourful crown-like feathers on their heads, graceful half-beast women, and young children who are just beginning to show their beauty.
With a glance, just when the new moon was about to withdraw her gaze, she bumped into a pair of bright compound eyes.
The new moon paused.
It was a woman with half of her face disfigured, one side was ugly as a ghost, and the other side was beautiful.
The woman's face was pale and bloodless, her hands were tied, and a pair of huge dark brown steel wings behind her was pierced from the bottom by metal buckles, and the bloodstain was thick on the chain.
Two thin transparent tubes pierced her abdomen and were extracting some pale golden liquid extremely slowly.
Undoubtedly, this is a bee woman.
It is ridiculous to say that the exiled star is the territory of the bee clan, but there are bee clans here that have become slaves.
"I beg you, kill...kill me." The woman opened her mouth with anger.
She looked dying, in a dying state.
The new moon was expressionless.
Killing people would make her even hungrier, not worth it.
The new moon turned around, and the woman behind her suddenly raised a weak voice, "I can give you my honey, my crystal core, you help me..."
She has been here for fifty years since she was captured. , I live the days of being intubated and taking honey every day.
It's too painful, just fall out in one breath, life is better than death.
"Honey, crystal nucleus? What is this?" New Moon wondered.
In her cognition, there is no information about "honey" and "crystal nucleus".
The woman was silent, surprised that some people didn't know the two. The strange thing was that the doubts in the other party's tone didn't seem to be fake.
However, the curiosity in the woman's eyes quickly disappeared.
Because that doesn't matter anymore.
"Before I did it, I was... an evolutionary body, my crystal nucleus is good for you, you can eat it." The woman said intermittently.
Xinyue asked directly, "Can I get hungry after eating crystal cores?"
She is very hungry now, and the food distributed in the black market is like drinking water.
I ate a lot, but I was still hungry.
The woman was silent.
No, how can the crystal nucleus satisfy hunger? The crystal core only affects improving the star sea level in the body.
"You can satisfy your hunger, so kill me." The woman lied.
New Moon: "Where is your nucleus?"
"Belly. Take it off, and I won't be able to live..."
New Moon nodded, her slender and white fingers suddenly stretched, and each joint extended as deep as a blade The pale armour, and fingertips are as sharp as a sickle.
The woman's pupils tightened suddenly, "You are a bee... a bee clan!"
The claws sank into her abdomen.
The roars of the surrounding beasts ceased in an instant, and in the cage, the fierce beasts that were irritable before were all crawling down.
Crescent Moon did feel a piece of crystal nucleus and was about to take it out. The woman in front of her was like a gleam of light, she broke the chain that bound her hand, and excitedly grabbed Crescent Moon's half-submerged claw in her abdomen.
"His Royal Highness, you are Her Royal Highness!" The woman's cloudy eyes suddenly shed two lines of blood and tears, "Your pheromone is similar to His Majesty Landi, you must be His Majesty Landi's child... Hahaha, Hingis that Shameless thief, as I said at the beginning, she will have retribution, there will be retribution!"
"You're mistaken, I'm not a princess." Xinyue knew that she was not.
The woman denied it, "No, as the former maid of His Majesty Landi, I will never admit it wrong!"
After Xinyue grabbed the core, she retracted her claws, and a large hole was pierced in the woman's abdomen, and blood was flowing.
But her expression was extremely excited, and she didn't look like a dying person at all.
"Her Royal Highness, I have one-fifth of the secret order on me. I thought I could wait for the empire's rescue and let them leave with the evidence of Hingis' crimes hidden in the secret order, but I waited fifty years. They haven't come in fifty years." The woman began to spit out blood.
Her turbid eyes became brighter and brighter as if all the vitality was gathered inside, "I thought I would not be able to wait for the person to hand over, I thought my family was destined to wither in the hands of that despicable thief Hingis..."
She tightly Grabbed Xinyue's wrist, "Your Highness, the secret order is in the skin under my wings, please take it... take it away!"
Xinyue squinted her eyes, the ambition given to her by the Lingnamo people, let her know that cypher may be useful.
Although pulling it out will drain her energy.
The new moon finally made another move.
A line of blood spattered silently onto the floor.
The woman smiled and closed her eyes. At the last moment of her life, she was rarely peaceful. She felt as if she had travelled through time and returned many years ago.
In the flowery back garden, the beautiful and elegant queen touched her head when she just came of age. The queen's pheromone is fragrant, which she has missed for more than half a century.
Crescent Moon wiped the blood-bearing crystal nucleus on his clothes, wiped the blood clean, and put it directly into his mouth to bite.
"Crack." The crystal nucleus was shattered.
With the first bite of the new moon, the expression on his face froze.
It was too unpalatable, bitter and astringent, and smelled like a gutter.
If he hadn't just taken the crystal nucleus out of the woman's belly by himself, New Moon would have doubted that it was fished from the septic tank.
"Gong." After all, he swallowed.
The strange thing is that after eating the core, New Moon felt that the hunger subsided a little bit, really a little bit, almost no difference.
Xinyue stared at the crystal core that was left in her hand and fell into contemplation.
"New Moon, where are you, have something to move?" someone shouted outside.
"Well, okay, come right away!" New Moon answered loudly.
But she didn't go out immediately, the reason was very simple, she couldn't stay in this black market any longer.
There is more than one cage in front of her, and many of the goods in the cage are wisdom species. They have seen everything that just happened. If people in the black market want to trace the cause of the bee woman's death, they will find her.
Fighting against a bunch of people hungry, Xinyue felt that it was not worth it.
The girl in the large cloak left the back compartment and disappeared into the darkness.
New Moon didn't know that at the moment when she started, several bees in different places in this Isaac town suddenly turned their heads and looked in a certain direction at the same time.
And that is where a black market is located.
