Mid-level professionals, even at the peak of level six, are still in the range of high-level cannon fodder, and they don’t feel bad even if they are consumed.
But high-level professionals are different. Every high-level professional has absolute backbone and foundation.
If he breaks through to the seventh level, even if something happens to the mercenary group, the White Rose Army behind him 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 royal family to obtain a noble title!
That is not just a title, but a powerful noble including a territory equivalent to the title!
But the probability of breaking through the seventh level, compared to the sixth level limit of Jet, whose potential has been exhausted, is extremely slim.
Unless, some rare treasures are used to increase the probability of breakthrough.
But the value of those treasures, even all the wealth he has accumulated over the years, is 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 scene in Jet's soul memory, the man was wearing a black robe, had a slightly thin figure, and was generally the same as an ordinary person.
But what impressed Jett deeply was the man's voice.
It has a hoarse and magnetic tone that is neutral, and the pronunciation is extremely clear and standard, with a strange and magical charm.
From his mouth, Jet learned about the items he would transport on his next mission.
Hundreds of units of extremely high-quality radiant crystals!
After hearing the news, Jeter's originally vigilant mood became extremely complicated.
What few people know is that before his strength completely stopped, Jeter repeatedly applied to the superiors behind him to allocate him the materials needed to attack the seventh level.
But every time he applied, he was rejected on the grounds of insufficient contribution.
You know, he is no longer young, and with every additional year of delay, it becomes more and more difficult for him to break through to the seventh level.
Even if he only gets one-twentieth of this batch of radiant crystals, he is sure to increase his probability of breaking through the seventh level from infinitely close to zero to 30%.
Maybe the probability is also not high, but it is enough for him to take a big gamble.
Everyone has only one chance in their lifetime to break through the seventh level from the sixth level.
When the professional's mental power and physical coordination reach 99%, it is the sixth level limit.
At this time, if a professional wants to break through, he needs to concentrate all his energy and spirit, and use a highly condensed point as a 'fire' to ignite his entire spiritual sea.
Use this pure spiritual fire that burns everything to completely integrate the spiritual sea and the physical body into one, completing the transition from imperfection to perfection.
To sublimate one point and seven levels of spiritual essence to the fullest, Nirvana is reborn.
This is a very dangerous process. This kind of 'burning' not only consumes mental power, but also simultaneously burns the upper limit of mental power.
If the coordination between the spiritual sea and the physical body has not reached 100% when the mental power is exhausted, then the breakthroughr will completely lose the mental power, practice hard for many years, and be dead in one day.
By this time, Jet was actually completely swayed, but his many years of loyalty to the White Rose Army still constrained his decision.
He needs to find a reason to convince himself.
No matter what the reason is——
Seeing the crux of Jet's hesitation, the mysterious man smiled inexplicably, and then spoke calmly, telling him the future destination and use of these brilliant crystals.
Smuggled to other hostile countries of the Gloria Empire, training certain people's henchmen... and helping descendants of nobles with little qualifications to forcibly build realms.
Listening to the mysterious man's faint words, Jet suddenly felt a ball of evil fire burning in his chest.
I fought my way out of the pile of dead people with one knife after another, stepping on countless corpses before climbing to this position with great difficulty.
But what’s the result? After dealing with so many shady things for the White Rose Legion, it’s not even enough to exchange for a resource to attack the seventh level?
Why is it that I do all the dirty work, but I don’t get a share of the benefits afterward?
How come those wasteful aristocrats can enjoy the resources that I have never been able to enjoy through life and death without doing anything?
Why?!
Originally, due to the existence of prophecy magic, Jet still did not dare to make any small moves even if he was angry in his heart.
But when the man suggested to him that he had a way to confuse the fate of the whole matter, Jeter made up his mind to do it.
The escorted Brilliant Crystal gets 37%, Jet gets 30%, and the mysterious man and the organization behind him get 70%.
The organization behind the mysterious man is responsible for planning the operation, covering up the fate of the entire incident, and helping Jet escape from the empire and seek refuge in the Federation of the Kingdom of Iter, while Jet must fully cooperate with their actions.
After deciding on the action plan, Jeter was completely determined.
Think about it, what does he need to do in this whole thing, to prevent the smuggling of a batch of major strategic materials?
Oh - merciful gods, what a patriotic and righteous act this is!
If you spread the word, you might even get a small purple medal awarded by the royal family! ①
Therefore, I, Jet, did not betray, I just reluctantly chose the latter between the interests of the legion and the interests of the empire!
If the members knew about this, they would surely be willing to sacrifice themselves for the empire, right?
.….….
Then, as planned, Jet took over this mission from the White Rose Army.
But his target from the beginning was this batch of escorted materials.
Before taking action, Jett had a chat with his right-hand deputy commander and two true confidants.
Then, using the excuse of changing the secret route, he led the mercenary group to temporarily change directions, go deep into the Dusk Whispering Forest, and set up camp in a canyon between the Luo Xing Mountains.
After the camp was set up, Jet announced to many mercenary members that a celebration party would be held in advance, and that there would be unlimited supply of wine and barbecue tonight.
The many mercenaries who trusted Jet had no doubt that he was there, and they drank happily around the campfire.
But what they don't know is that these wines have been mixed with a special, delayed-onset poison in advance.
That night, while the mercenaries were sleeping, the poison took effect. One by one, the mercenaries died painfully in their sleep. The few who managed to survive were killed by Jet's henchmen on the spot.
Using the blood and lives of these mercenaries as the price and medium, the fate of the whole matter was temporarily distorted and disrupted, which prevented the White Rose Army from immediately noticing that the supplies had been robbed.
However, the people in the legion are actually always paying attention to the movements of the 'Epee' mercenary group.
Realizing that the mercenary group's route was wrong, the legion immediately sent strong men to secretly investigate.
Following some clues, the Legion's men discovered Jet's long-dead body in a stream on the border of the Empire.
The corpse had been stripped of valuable items, and only a pair of shorts remained to maintain his last dignity.
It's very ironic that Jeter's only fatal injury was.
From a dagger stuck deep in the back of the heart——
