Chapter 983 Agent

The Dark Land falls between the trading capital of Sardinia and Iron Spear Ridge. There are only a few ways to reach the two places. One passes through the dark land and pays the poll tax in full, and is usually not embarrassed by the bandits in the fierce land. The two are to take the commercial road across the border, and the business road bypasses the dark place, but it will take a few more days. The third way is the waterway, but the waterway is not open all year round, and the ports are limited, so it often takes more detours than taking commercial roads. If it is a short-distance business trip, waterways are rarely chosen.

So for most caravans, the only options they can choose are the first two methods. And the vast majority of people choose to go through the dark place, even though there is a poll tax and there are risks. However, commercial roads may not be a good choice. When border commercial roads pass through different territories, they also need to pay customs duties to the local lords. Tariffs in some territories are not cheaper than those in the Darklands, or even higher.

The only guarantee is that there will be no bandits on the business road.

The Dark Land is one of the three most dangerous places in the empire, one of the reasons is that there are so many thieves. But in the end, the reason why this dark world can exist today is because of the empire's inaction. With the strength of the Balegon Empire, a random army would be enough to quell the land of darkness. This is an obvious truth. However, until now, the land of darkness still exists, which makes many people puzzled.

In fact, after the empire's inaction, what was involved was the long-standing power structure of this human empire. Several elite divisions of the Balegon Empire are guarding the border or border gates and other throats. They are busy with military affairs and will not move to other places. Therefore, if a place like the Dark Land wanted to wipe out the bandit group, it would have to use the army of the nearby lord, thus turning it into a local affair.

In this way, a lot of maneuverable space is given to those who are interested. After all, the imperial family's control over the lords of various places is limited, and unless the lords like the Dark Dusk Territory commit major dereliction of duty, the empire can forcibly intervene. It is not difficult to imagine why the policy of expropriating the territorial troops of the former Imperial Prime Minister Naibert was strongly opposed by the whole country. The reason lies here. If the policy of reducing the army is implemented, the interests of the lords in various places will suffer a huge blow, and the empire's control over the lords will be strengthened like never before, and it will no longer have such a loose structure.

The land of darkness is under the power structure of the empire, and ∵←style_txt; has been preserved through the manipulation of some big figures. Naturally, this place has also become an important tool for those big shots to seek personal wealth.

In the dark land, there are so-called agents. These agents usually serve those big people, convey their meaning, and communicate with the bandits in the Dark Land, playing a supporting role.

Meggis is one of the many agents in the Dark Land, and also the man who brought an important turning point in Joey's life.

If he hadn't met Meggis, there probably wouldn't be such a character as Undead Joey in the Dark Land. At that time, Joey was in his prime, and the Wolf Warriors were only a second-rate gang with dozens of thugs.

Joey didn't even break through level 20. If it hadn't been for that sunny afternoon when he agreed to cooperate with Meggis, he wouldn't have received a steady stream of support. The big man behind Meggis gave him equipment, horses, and vital things.

The source crystal stone!

It was an item made by the Royal Alchemist, and the recipe came from an ancient technology that has been lost. The source crystal stone can provide the user with a large amount of non-attribute source power, so as to instantly fill up the source power required by a level, or even a gap of several levels. Usually this kind of priceless thing is only used by the children of the royal family and wealthy families to level up. People like Joey have never even heard of it, let alone a source crystal stone.

It was with the support of the boss behind Meggis that Joey was able to break through the 20 mark in one fell swoop, and Wolf Warrior was able to grow rapidly. In the end, in just ten years, Joey became the number one powerhouse in the Dark Land, and Wolf Warrior became one of the four giants.

It is no exaggeration to say that everything that Joey and Wolf Warriors have now is based on Meggis and the big man behind the representative.

Meggis has rarely come to the dark place these years, so when Gang En passed the pass, Joey became a little more nervous for no reason. The agent would be here now, something must have happened.

In a hall of the Temple of the Undead, Joey met Meggis. He was still the same, wearing a fur cape that was not expensive, but warm enough. Even now that winter has passed, Meggis, who has lived in the north for a long time, still can't take off his thick winter clothes, which seems to have become a habit of his. Joey was even in a daze. When he first met Meggis, he was a handsome middle-aged man. But now, he is already a sixtieth old man. And because of the lack of source power, he is much older than Joey.

His hair was covered with frost, and his originally handsome face was already wrinkled. Bending and leaning on crutches, Meggis was too old to walk.

Joey breathed out a depressed breath, and greeted him with open arms: "Mr. Meggis, my dear friend, why are you here at this hour."

Meggis grinned and showed two rows of yellow teeth: "I want to see you again while I'm still alive. Joey, you are the greatest achievement in my life. After this meeting, next time, we can only meet in hell gone."

Joey put his arms around the old man's shoulders enthusiastically, and said to Gang En, "Go and prepare the best wine for me. Tonight we are going to prepare the grandest dinner for Mr. Meggis, the eternal friend of Wolf Warrior."

Meggis didn't stop it, because this was the courtesy he deserved.

After Gang En went down, the old man put away his smile and said, "I smell fishy smell, and the smell of medicinal herbs. What, you old thing got hurt? Who hurt you?"

"It's just a little thing."

Meggis shook his head: "Even if you went shopping with others before, you wouldn't smell any herbs on your body. Now you already need herbs to heal your wounds, Joey, we are all old."

Joey was silent.

Meggis laughed, and said, "Whatever it is, even those great figures in the Ten Saints just lived longer than us, and they will also grow old and die. What should we feel sorry for?" He used The crutch touched Joey's chest and said, "Besides seeing you, old fellow, for the last time this time, the lord has a message for you."

Joey squinted his eyes: "Your Excellency has not received a message for several years."

"After all, the matter is very important this time." Meggis shrugged and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have to crawl out of the coffin and make another trip." Then the agent lowered his voice and said, "My lord wants you to kill someone, At all costs, even if all of you wolf warriors are wiped out, you must strive to kill this person in the Dark Land."

"What!" Joey exclaimed with a shock all over his body.
