Chapter 87 Request
"Does the master want the sales rights for this area?" Tie Hui asked bluntly.
Sikkatod picked up his coffee, took a sip, and remained silent, clearly acquiescing.
Seeing the guy's tacit agreement, Tie Hui said, "That's easy to say, but I wonder how you plan to sell it, sir?"
Sicatod put down his coffee and said, "I know your concerns. You're worried that if I get the distribution rights, I'll compete with the Governor, causing him to target you. But don't worry, I won't compete with the Governor. You'll supply him with whatever goods he needs. As for what I need... it will definitely not end up on the Governor's desk."
Tie Hui thought for a moment. This guy wanted to get the distribution rights but didn't want to compete with the governor of this star sector.
They probably want to get involved in smuggling and the black market.
Therefore, I didn't care that much about it. I didn't care how much you sold it for, as long as I had the money.
Besides, these are Emperor Cookies. If you let Chaos and the Alien eat them...
If the court finds out, you'll be awarded an Imperial Medal at the very least.
With his interests secured, Sikkatod finally smiled and signed the governor's contract.
Once the signature is on the contract, it officially becomes effective.
"The contract is now signed. We hope you can deliver the goods to our designated warehouse area as soon as possible," Sicatod said with a smile as he handed the parchment to Tie Hui.
After all, his own goods were mixed in with this shipment.
Tie Hui took the parchment scroll: "No problem, don't worry! Not a single gram of your goods will be missing."
Sikkatod smiled and nodded, but a hint of hesitation flashed across the faces of the two who were about to get up and leave.
Then he called out to Tie Hui, who was opening the door, "Would Lord Tie Hui be interested in accepting another deal?"
Just as he was about to leave, Tie Hui, who was looking forward to seeing the crying man, jumped up and asked, somewhat puzzled, "What kind of deal?"
Sikkatod didn't speak, but instead poured himself another cup of coffee and said, "The dark regions beyond the Imperial frontier."
Tie Hui was stunned!
Beyond the borders of the empire, in places where the light of the Emperor's starlight cannot reach.
Legend has it that in the Golden Age, humanity's power was far greater than it is now.
After the Iron Man Rebellion and the Horus Rebellion.
Now the empire is in severe decline and its territory has shrunk dramatically.
Many territories that were once opened up during humanity's golden age were abandoned and scattered outside the current human empires.
There are all sorts of dangers there, as well as all sorts of riches.
It will embolden you to venture deeper into that area, perhaps even to pan for gold.
And if you're lucky enough, you'll basically be guaranteed to become rich after just one trip.
Even sta-making templates can often be found in that dark region.
Tie Hui was aware of these things, but had never been there. After all, his own group of merchant ronin were not yet of a high enough level, and the fleet's security capabilities were insufficient to allow them to conduct large-scale, long-term operations outside the borders.
Only his deceased father had personally visited the area a few times, and even then, it was only on the periphery.
However, this also led to the discovery of some metal fragments that even the Mechanics Cult coveted, resulting in considerable profits.
"That's a dangerous area." Tie Hui now knew that he was not strong enough to go to such a place, but he also wanted to hear what price this guy was willing to offer.
If I can't do it myself, what if someone else can? The middleman makes a profit, so I subcontract it!
Sikatod knew this kid was trying to hold out for a higher price, so he curled his lip and still stated the price: "If you can complete the mission, we can give you a STAR template."
Tie Hui's heart skipped a beat; the reward was substantial.
But this also means that the danger is definitely not small; one careless move and you could be completely dead.
Tell me about it!
Sicatod's relaxed expression turned somewhat serious. He took a sip of coffee, as if preparing his next words, before slowly beginning to speak: "The Slothians, you know?"
Tie Hui was stunned, and so was the elderly Cardinal Ruldia.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Sikatod knew that they must know about the Slothians, and his original idea of taking advantage of the information gap to drive down the price instantly died down.
"If you don't want to, I won't force you. You can leave now. If you think you know someone who can solve this problem, I don't recommend explaining the whole story to you. Just listen to it as a story."
Tie Hui and Luldia exchanged a glance. They had been about to leave, but they sat back down steadily, deciding to listen to the story first.
After all, if you can't solve it yourself, you can outsource the job to someone else.
As descendants of the Chinese nation, the concept of outsourcing is ingrained in our genes.
Sicatod looked at the two of them and smiled speechlessly.
But he still spoke up and explained to the two of them: "You should already know some things about this civilization, so I won't go into too much detail."
Tie Hui nodded, indicating that he knew everything; this civilization was truly remarkable.
Standing 3 meters tall, it is composed of countless maggots and can only be killed by plasma melting and psionic attacks.
There are even rumors that their civilization is more powerful than that of the Eldar.
Moreover, it excels at hiding; once it consumes a corpse, it can become the predecessor of that corpse!
They know everything about the corpse, including its memories of life, and they especially love humans.
Even in the frontier regions of the Calixsis sector, there are rumors that many Slothians, disguised as humans, have climbed to the highest levels of the human military and political establishment.
This alien civilization even possessed faster-than-light travel technology, allowing them to travel without passing through subspace.
This means that humans have no way of detecting whether these aliens will come into the Empire's territory.
This gave the aliens a great opportunity to take advantage.
Sicatod sighed, his gaze distant. "One of the Inquisition's ships was intercepted by these damned aliens!"
Tie Hui "?"
Ruldia "?"
Both were stunned: the court's ship had been hijacked, and the other side dared to spread the news so aggressively.
Does this mean they don't care about saving face?
Sicatod picked up a cup of coffee, took a sip, and said, "It's like this, there's a high-ranking psionicist, the son of a minor sector governor, and a group of qualified psionicists on that ship, who are about to be sent to a psionic academy for training. There are also some other political figures on board, so… you know what I mean?"
Sikkatod spread his hands and said helplessly.
He and his governor were both helpless about the matter, but there was nothing they could do, since the ship had been intercepted in the sector under their jurisdiction.
A passing court ship was intercepted, and then they too were caught in the crossfire.
That's difficult!
