Chapter 128: Accepting the Mission
Sancho looked at them with an apologetic face, Star-Lord, the poorest second generation, is really worthy of his reputation in the Chamber of Commerce.
Sure enough, as soon as Sancho finished speaking, the faces of the three of them were not good-looking, yes, even if the discount was thirty percent, they still couldn't afford it.
"You profiteers, let's see how much I can buy, do I have to borrow money from my father?" Star-Lord could only helplessly start counting the money, if it could be 30% cheaper here, if it was anywhere outside, I am afraid that what was waiting for him would not be 30% cheaper but plus the previous debt.
"Is that all there is to it? I'm afraid it's not enough for even a month's supply. ”
Gamora's face was also very embarrassed, he didn't expect that the price would increase here, but it's right to think about it, the Chamber of Commerce is a whole after all, since it is a price increase, it is naturally a collective increase, otherwise they all went to the remote star field to buy it.
With the shrewdness of the Chamber of Commerce, they will naturally not have a loophole to exploit, not to mention that the boss is already kind enough, and it is thirty percent cheaper, but no money is no money, and it will not change because of this.
Seeing the change in the faces of the three of them, Sancho knew that his chance had come, coughed twice to draw their attention out, and after seeing that the three of them were looking at him, he said, "Actually, I have a way to make it affordable for you to buy supplies, don't get me wrong, it's not those inferior and black goods." ”
Sancho knew what they were thinking by looking at their faces, and had to admit that there were always some unlawless businessmen who would follow some crooked paths, and no matter how the Chamber of Commerce controlled, the greed of the human heart would always make some people take risks.
Black goods and inferior products are a means for them to make money, and apparently Star-Lord wants to be crooked.
After hearing Sancho's explanation, everyone's faces were a little better, whether it was inferior or black, there was no guarantee, although the price was cheap, one-tenth of the regular goods, but no one would joke with their lives. Think about eating bread and getting poisoned, or blowing up your weapon when it fires, or simply blowing itself up! Who would dare to try such a tragic thing?
"And what did you say?" Gamora thought about it for a moment and decided that it would be better to listen.
"My planet is a very remote place, it can be said that it has been forgotten by the Interstellar Alliance, and some strange things have happened here recently, but it is clear that it is normal for a remote planet to be unattended. But the people here actually have a good relationship with me, and although I can't manage it because of my identity, I still hope that someone can help them, so. ”
"So you want us to help the people in this place identify and remove the threat? And then you can give us supplies? Gamora took Sancho's words.
"I can't say it's all right, but most of the meaning is that you help them, they pay you, and then I trade with you at the price I trade with the natives, and that's the limit I can do." Sancho nodded in explanation.
"No problem, we took this task!" Star-Lord immediately agreed. Exploration has always been his favorite, not to mention the ability to solve the current crisis.
"Good luck to you, twenty miles ahead is a town, where can you start your investigation, here are some clues that I hope will be useful to you! Then I am waiting for your victorious return, by the way, this is a token, you take this to the city lord, he will entertain you. Once you have completed the quest, the Lord will reward you. ”
Sancho gave Star-Lord a token and sent them into his carriage with a smile. Of course, you can't take a spaceship, it will scare the aborigines, and since you enter the countryside, you have to follow the customs.
Riding in a carriage that staggered all the way to the town before dark, the three of them showed some signs of motion sickness, and Star-Lord swore that he would never ride in a carriage again, which was simply too much of a crime.
With the token, the three of them easily met the lord of the castle. A handsome middle-aged guy could feel his troubles just by his sad face.
But what does Star-Lord mean by quietly keeping Gamora out of his back? It seems that men have a natural hostility towards handsome guys, whether they are young or not.
"Hello three brave men, it is a pleasure to see you at this critical time, and I have to thank my friend Mr. Sancho, who has finally found reinforcements for me." The middle-aged handsome city lord is very happy to have a brave man to help him.
This allows him to solve things with just a little money. Otherwise, that kind of vampire monster is estimated to make him lose half of the people of the territory, and I don't know if it can be solved.
"Don't say anything superfluous, just tell us what you know, what we need to do, and what the remuneration is!" Star-Lord didn't play tricks this time, he just wanted to stay away from this middle-aged city lord with a good image and good temperament, handsome, and standing next to him, Star-Lord felt like a street gangster. Mix.
"Well, it seems that you are really anxious, then I will not be hypocritical, the matter must have been told to you by Sancho, yes, it is a blood-sucking monster, although I don't know where he is, but I feel that he is in this city, your task is to find and kill or drive him away, after the completion of which I will give you enough payment, half of the treasure in my treasury."
Hearing that half of the treasure in the treasury, even Gamora is not calm, think about the inheritance of an old nobleman, a big treasure trove, even half of this is a lot of money.
"Okay, we'll go now, goodbye!" Star-Lord pulled Gamora away very decisively, the rich, handsome, and temperamental aristocratic middle-aged city lord was definitely a mortal opponent.
Gamora was angry and funny, but he still obeyed any Star-Lord and left, and the Destroyer followed, just thinking about whether he could have a good meal, and now it seemed hopeless.
"Okay, now that we're out, let's see where we're going to start?" Gamora said as he clasped his hands to his chest and looked at Star-Lord.
"Of course it's here, the place where the dried corpses were found is this valley, there are a few farms on the side, the dead are a farmer, and the most likely place to hide the monster is this valley, although the valley has been blocked, but you don't think ordinary people can stop the monster! It's clear when you get there. ”
Star-Lord also knew that his abnormal behavior was a little embarrassing, not to mention that the middle-aged handsome guy did not meet Gamora's aesthetics, even if he did, it is estimated that Gamora's appearance was not in the human diet, and only a girl like him would like girls of other races.
