Volume 3 The War of Insects Chapter 208 The Morning Star's "Great Gift"
Black Tiger's brother, like Leo's brothers, died on the trap at the entrance to the temple. According to the Black Tiger, the mechanism at the entrance is very strange, not like a weapon, as if it is some kind of spell, the appearance of the body of the Black Tiger's younger brother is good, and there is no internal damage after the corpse is brought back to the ship for inspection, but the person is gone, like the legendary soul snatcher.
Of course, Morning Star would not believe this so-called soul snatcher, but based on the description of Leo of the Black Tiger alone, he couldn't guess why. From the subsequent conversation between the two, Morningstar learns that the temple that Black Tiger and Leo's team are going to is not the same temple, but they are from the same race. The structure is the same, the murals are the same, and even the altar used to place the artifact is the same, but unfortunately there is no artifact in the temple where the black tiger arrived. When Morningstar showed the picture of the artifact to the Black Tiger, he paid special attention to the Black Tiger's reaction. The other party didn't lie, and there was nothing to hide, and the black tiger's eyes and expression told Morning Star exactly that he really hadn't seen the artifact.
Morningstar didn't have any information on his hand that would allow him to determine the relationship between the temple and the artifact, but there was no doubt that Leo's team had actually found the artifact in the temple. Frace said that the trap was a product of an ancient civilization that threw an artifact into the universe when it was defeated, so why did that artifact appear in the temple? It is impossible for a coincidence to fall on the altar of the temple.
The origin of the artifact in Nolin Hill's hand Morningstar cannot be investigated, but the strange ability in the artifact has always made Morningstar worry. The current Morning Star has two artifacts in his hands, although he doesn't know what the real secret is, but judging from the artifact abilities he has developed so far, these inconspicuous stones are really powerful. The artifact in Norin Hill's hand can be said to be the foundation of Itglison, and with this artifact and Norin Hill's control, the insects on Itglishon can communicate with humans and Pusenchus in a simple way. And the piece in Catherine's hand, under Catherine's research, can now be used as a weapon, the cold air jet from the artifact is more powerful than the human quick-frozen firearm, and the range of influence is wider, if it is not very complicated to operate, the artifact in Catherine's hand can already be used as a weapon.
It is precisely because of the particularity of the artifact in the hands of Norin Hill and Catherine that Morningstar has never been able to let go of the "greed" in his heart, so when he heard Black Tiger say that he had been to the temple, Morningstar had the idea of cooperating with him.
The black tiger seemed to be still immersed in grief and couldn't extricate himself, and Morning Star also felt guilty for causing this rough man's bad memories, and patted Black Tiger on the shoulder, and Morning Star comforted: "The deceased is gone, and the mourning will change." Although he died, your brother was lucky enough to be able to keep at least a whole corpse, but how many of my brothers couldn't even bring back a corpse, so they could only become food for the insects. ”
The black tiger seems to have such an idea for a long time, after all, it is all a job of licking blood from the knife edge, compared to the black tiger, he has not experienced such a thing, raised his sleeve and wiped away his tears, and the original
The cuffs of Ben's suit, which was still straight, were wrinkled, and he said, "I don't know what task you want to give me, Lord Morningstar, if it is related to these temples." ”
"To be exact, it has something to do with the stones." Seeing that the black tiger brought the topic back to the topic, Morning Star stopped rambling and replied: "Those stones are called artifacts, they are some special beings with magical abilities, I got one by chance, and then I bought another from the auction, and now I want more, you, can you help me?" ”
Black Tiger knew very well what Morningstar's words meant, that is, to hire himself to find those stones for him, but Black Tiger didn't know why Morningstar had found him.
"Lord Morningstar, can you tell me why you chose me?"
Morning Star walked back to Xie Shiqi's work and sat down, stretched out his hand to signal the black tiger to take care of himself, and then said, "Because you have seen Shen Mian, I think your long-term experience of exploring outside can help you, or help me find other temples." To be honest, I'm not sure if the artifact has anything to do with those temples, but that's where I can do it right now. ”【! … ¥ Fastest Update]
The Black Tiger is a very qualified explorer, and the Beast Regiment is also a very competent expedition group, for them, exchanging their lives for money is everything. So even though he knew that the task given to them by Morning Star would be full of risks, Black Tiger still chose to accept it. However, the risk should be proportional to the benefit, which is the only requirement of the Black Tiger.
"Lord Morningstar, I can accept your mission, but I want to know, what can you offer me?" The meaning of Black Tiger's words is very obvious, although it is somewhat straightforward, but this is exactly what Morning Star needs. Only those who have desires and weaknesses will be accepted with confidence, and if the black tiger does not make any demands at this time, I am afraid that Morning Star will suspect the other party's true purpose.
Fingers kept tapping on the desk, and Morningstar thought for a moment before replying, "You can be a friend of It Gleeson." ”
"Refreshing, this job, our beast group took it."
After receiving Black Tiger's answer, Morningstar was in a good mood. It's not a bad match, but he doesn't have any experience in the field of exploration. Although it has entered the age of interstellar navigation, advanced technology cannot replace human experience and feeling, and the people of the beast group are far better than Itgleeson's troops in this field.
"Master Hu, after all, we are working together for the first time, and there is no foundation for mutual trust, so I want to introduce a few people to you, I don't know if you can accept it?" Morningstar's words are very polite, but the real meaning is not as simple as it seems. Introduce a few people, to put it bluntly, it is to arrange a few Morning Star's own people in the Black Tiger's team, although this makes the Black Tiger a little unhappy, but after weighing the pros and cons, the Black Tiger still chose to agree.
Following Morning Star's words, four men of different ages appeared in Xie Shiqi's room, Leo and several of his brothers.
"Let me introduce you, Leo, my brother, who was also an explorer, and my second artifact was acquired by them, and his experience in this field of exploration should not force you to speak. Leo, this is the Tiger Master
, Leader of the Beast Regiment, as I told you earlier, you cooperate to find the artifact. With Morning Star's introduction, Black Tiger shook hands with Leo, which was considered to be an acquaintance, but Morning Star saw the displeasure on Black Tiger's face, knew that the other party had misunderstood him, and then said: "Master Tiger, don't misunderstand me, Leo is not there to spy on you, Leo knows much more about the temple and artifacts than you, he will not dictate to you and the beast group in future expeditions, but will only exist as a consultant, and the specific decision is still in your hands." ”
"I understand, it's just that I'm uncomfortable, after all, there are more of these people in my group, even if it is for your sake, I will give them enough respect, I'm just afraid that my strength is limited, and I can't ensure the safety of these people once I encounter any danger." Black Tiger's answer sounded like it was for Leo and the others, but Morning Star heard the meaning behind these words, and said with a smile: "So, I have prepared a big gift for you, I hope that Lord Tiger will accept it." ”
"Huh?"
……
Morningstar prepared a "big" gift, because this gift was really big, big enough to fit the entire beast group, and there was still room for it. Appearing in front of the Black Tiger and the Beast was a space ship funded and produced by Itgleson, which was loaded with a large amount of Presenchus technology on the basis of human mechanical science, giving the ship an unimaginably excellent performance, and even Daidalus, who was responsible for building the ship, was amazed by the effect of combining human technology and Pusenchus technology.
When the members of the Black Tiger and Beast Regiment saw this ship, their jaws dropped in shock. Different from the traditional structure of human ships similar to airplanes, because of the anti-gravity technology of Pusenchus, the space ships independently developed on Itgleason are not traditional models, and the one in front of us is one of the representatives. The ship as a whole is a structure with two thin ends and a thick middle, with two transverse wings and one vertical wing at the tail, one-third of the main body of the ship, and two transverse wings, with the slightly smooth head curve, this ship resembles a whale on the home planet Earth. For an expedition group, there is nothing more appealing than a good ride. Expeditioning is a boring activity because most of the time is spent on the road during the process, and the actual exploration process is often very rare. When choosing mission items before, Black Tiger didn't think about getting a ship, but this is simply unrealistic, the value of the ship is not comparable to those weapons, armor, or potions, even the advanced ItGleason Star series mecha can be compared to a fraction of the previous ship. Now, Morningstar has sent such a big gift to Black Tiger, allowing Black Tiger to see the sincerity of this Lord of Itgleason, and also making Black Tiger feel extremely ashamed, ashamed of his own careful thinking. When Morningstar arranged Leo into his team, what Black Tiger said was actually reminding Morningstar to give himself some benefits first. Black Tiger also decided that Morningstar would benefit him, but at that time he only thought that Morningstar would provide some appointments
The weapons and potions on the list are at most two Itgleason Stars, but he never expected that Morning Star would give him a ship!
"Master Tiger, this big guy doesn't have a name yet, why don't you give him a name?" Just as Black Tiger and the others were drooling as they looked at the ship, Morning Star suddenly said.
The black tiger rubbed his hands, as if he was thinking of a name for his newborn child, and his face was full of confusion, feeling that it was not appropriate to call it anything. First he consulted with the fox, but there was no result, and then he called his brothers together, but there was still no result.
Looking at the black tigers who were fighting together, Morning Star stepped forward and interrupted their discussion, saying, "If you can't think of it, just wait, go in and have a look, there are other gifts." ”
Following the guidance of the Morning Star, the men of the beast group boarded the advanced ship. There are all the living facilities on the ship that the people of the beast group can't put down, and the excellent living conditions are incomparable to the two ships before the beast group, passing through the living area and boarding the upper deck of the ship, many advanced equipment in the wheelhouse directly dumbfounded the black tiger and others, because they have never seen it at all, and they will not use it. When Black Tiger expressed this idea to Morning Star, Morning Star only smiled and continued to show everyone around the ship. Behind the cab is a large work area, which should be used for standby on a regular basis. Before passing through the work area and reaching the next area, there was a tall gate, and when the Morning Star opened this door, all that remained of the members of the beast group was one voice.
"Shhh
The sound of gasping cold air, because what appeared in their eyes was an armory, and the first thing to bear the brunt of it was the four Itgleeson Stars standing in the center of the armory, this kind of mecha is rarely seen even on the market, not that the production of Itgleeson is insufficient, but after being bought, it is often regarded as a collector's item by the buyer, and it is easy not to show it to others. On the walls around the mecha are a neatly arranged array of weapons and armor. Almost all of the rewards that Black Tiger saw on the task list before appeared here. Traditional firearms, electromagnetic guns, laser guns, all kinds of long knives, stone combat uniforms, various potions marked in detail, and countless small instruments of unknown use, all of which dazzled the black tiger.
"Lord of the Morningstar, these, these are for us?" The Black Tiger's voice was already trembling, and his eyes as he looked at Morning Star sparkled.
Morning Star smiled slightly, then his face became serious, and he replied, "It's for you, but I took out all my family resources, you have to be worthy of my investment." ”
Black Tiger is almost calling Morning Star Daddy now, but unfortunately the age is not appropriate, Morning Star's gift has made him not know how to express his gratitude, his mouth is open and closed, but he does not make a sound. The fox not far away seemed to think of something, walked up to the black tiger and whispered a few words, which made the excited black tiger even more excited, and shouted: "I, I thought of it, the name of this ship is the Morning Star!" ”
When Morning Star heard Black Tiger's words, he only felt that he had a black line on his face, which had to be very artistic
The person of the cell can shoot such a sycophant, calm down his emotions, and Morning Star said: "This, it's not suitable. ”
"Why?" The black tiger didn't understand and asked.
"What you want to do for me is not something that can be publicized in front of people, you may not know, I have a lot of enemies now, if you call this name, it will inevitably make people who are interested notice, isn't that self-trouble?" Morning Star opened his mouth to explain, but what he thought in his heart was not good.
The fox behind the black tiger didn't know what to think, and interjected: "I understand, Lord Morning Star means that we are a secret card under your hands, and we can't easily let others know that we are serving you!" ”
Morningstar twitched the corners of his mouth again, but instead of saying anything, he nodded. This approach made the Black Tiger misunderstand again, and his voice was a little lower and said, "I understand, Lord Morningstar, all our actions must be kept secret, and we will secretly bring back that kind of stone for you!" So, so ......"
"That's why it's called Daystar!" The fox spoke out for the black tiger and said: "Your name, your surname all mean this, so that it can not only express our gratitude, but also hide our identity well, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Then let's call it Daystar, I hope this ship in your hands can become the Daystar of ItGleason and guide Itgleason all the way."
Walking out of the arsenal, Morning Star was about to leave, and before leaving, he returned to the bridge and gave Black Tiger some advice, but just as Morning Star was about to leave, Black Tiger suddenly remembered something, stopped Morning Star and said, "Lord Morning Star, how do you drive Morning Star?" We've never seen a lot of these things! ”
The bitterness on his face is like a child finally getting his beloved box, but he can't open the package. Morning Star smiled evilly after hearing Black Tiger's words, turned to Leo and said, "It's your turn!" ”
Morning Star is gone, and Daystar is really owned by the beast group, but Black Tiger always has a feeling of being deceived and deceived when he looks at Leo and the others who are skillfully operating in the driver's seat.
Morning Star, who left the Daystar, walked side by side with Xie Shiqi on the streets of Queenstown, the sky had darkened, and the various neons of Queenstown lit up one after another, a prosperous scene. Several of the soldiers in charge of guarding fell far behind Morning Star and Xie Shiqi, and they didn't play the slightest role in guarding them. But even so, Xie Shiqi still didn't mean to blame the guards, and the guards who were usually nervous all the time rarely had such a chance to relax, because at this moment walking beside Xie Shiqi was Morning Star, the strongest combat power on Itgleeson except for Quinn.
"Didn't you say before that you hadn't built enough trust? Why are you so generous in sending ships and weapons? Aren't you afraid that they will never come back? Xie Shiqi's expression was still cold, but there was a mysterious beauty under the neon.
Morning Star put his arm on Xie Shiqi's shoulder again, and replied with a smile: "Hmph, you really think I am the stupid son of the landlord's family?" Leo's main role is not only to be advisors, and the Daystar is not profitable
A few people can't fly at all, not only can the operating system only be used by Leo, but even the boot requires Leo's fingerprints. I don't want Leo and the others to be killed by this beast group. ”
Xie Shiqi stopped when he heard Morning Star's explanation, looked at Morning Star, who was close to him, and tried to stop the language for a long time, but in the end he only broke out one sentence: "You are really an old fox!" ”
"Hey, pay attention to the words, we're peers!"
Daystar, Black Tiger chose his own room, and was busy making the room to his liking, when suddenly he felt trembling, and inexplicably sneezed, and looked up at the thermometer next to the door, eighteen degrees Celsius.
"Huh? Why do you sneeze, it's not cold? ”
