Chapter 1709: Hunting for the Shadow (5)

"This ...... After hearing the prince's request, Palamides was stunned for a moment, and repeated unconsciously, "Do you want to hire me to deal with monsters like Moby Dick?

"Yes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info billion. And it's a Britannia gold coin. The prince repeated.

A billion gold coins, and it's Britannia gold coins, just to kill a monster. Palamides couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart.

He is not short of money now, but Palamides is also greedy by nature, and the huge number of one billion can really make this big cat's heart flutter.

What is the concept of [billion British gold coins]? Including electricity, heating, and administrative fees, the living expenses of ordinary people in Great Britain are about 50 to 100 gold coins a month, and if they live economically, they can even live for 30 gold coins a month. Even if Palamides squandered frequently and consumed hundreds of times the living expenses of civilians in a month, these billion gold coins would probably be enough for him to eat and drink spicy food for a thousand years.

No. Considering that his family has three kittens and a wife to raise, it is indeed unrealistic to eat and drink spicy food for a thousand years, and it is possible for the whole family to spend two hundred years on it. Even so, it's already powerful.

But it was Prince Said who surprised Palamides the most. The prince could take out a billion British gold coins at will to hire a stranger like Palamides, and it didn't seem to be lying, presumably it was true. When Prince Said reported the number of one billion, he didn't even brow, which means that this amount is not a large amount for the prince at all, maybe a year and a half, or even only a month or two of income.

Egypt's royal family, although in decline, remained wealthy. The magnitude of Pharaoh's estate is immeasurable.

Despite this, Palamides calmed down and thought about it for a moment before asking, "Your Royal Highness, I would like to ask a question. ＂

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ＂

"If you want a weapon in my hand, you can buy it at a price. This way, you'll be able to keep your weapons as a collection after you've hunted Moby Dick. But why don't you want weapons, but plan to pay a huge sum of money to hire me?"

"Because I am convinced that a good weapon can only exert its true power in the hands of a seasoned warrior. Prince Said said, "I think that even if I paid for this cursed spear in your hand, without the right armor and manipulation methods, my men would not be able to control this spear skillfully, right? ＂

"Yes. Really well analyzed. Paramides knew that he had been praised in a circle, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering: "But I'm sorry, I still can't promise you anything." I can't afford to take this kind of high-risk mission that could cost me my life. ＂

"Yes. It's a shame. The prince replied indifferently.

"However, I have a friend who has been pestered by Moby Dick many times, and he has escaped Moby Dick's attacks several times, and has a deep relationship with that monster. Then the Leopard Warrior said, "When I get back, I'll talk to that friend about it, and find out how terrible Moby Dick really is." ＂

"It's amazing that your friend has survived Moby Dick's attacks many times. The prince then took out a postcard from his pocket: "This is my business card." If you show this to the guards of the villa, the guards will let them go. If you can, please bring your friends over and meet me next time. Of course, the more talented people who can help destroy Moby Dick, the better, and I will be happy to hire your friends as much as possible. ＂

"Okay...... Thank you. The big cat took the postcard. By this time he had realized that Rosetta had been eyeing him since just now, and he knew that he should go.

"See you later, Your Highness the Prince. Palamides and Rosetta said almost at the same time.

"Goodbye (Kama). The prince also said.

After walking out of the gate of the villa, Palamides was almost pulled by Rosetta all the way and ran for a long distance before stopping.

"What are you thinking, you stupid cat!" Rosetta paused and immediately began to reproach, "Accept the prince's offer to hunt Moby Dick, do you really want to die?!"

But the prince was very sincere, and a billion is not a small amount...... The big cat scratched his head and replied.

"That's not the point!" Rosetta exasperated, "You know what? Moby Dick's name is almost synonymous with death." Since ancient times, there have been many teams that have gone on to kill the Demon Whale, but none of them have managed to come back alive. All the raiders have been wiped out!"

"But my friend Bediville was attacked twice by Moby Dick, and he's still alive. Palamides said disapprovingly, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about me. I didn't take Prince Said's job right away. Needless to say, let's find a safe place to see if the [contents] of Eternal Gunir are still there. ＂

The Jewel Queen let out a long sigh, "Okay. There's a jewelry store near here that an acquaintance of mine has an enchantment generator in it where we can inspect [goods]. I'll also call in my convoy to come to the rescue. ＂

"Let's do it. Palamides nodded. His biggest concern now was whether the ruby hidden in the spear had been stolen. It stands to reason that this is unlikely, because when Beiter stole Eternal Gunir from Palamidas, he had to seal the Meteor Gun firmly so that he would not be summoned by Palamidas. And Beite should have sealed the eternal Gunir from the beginning, found a claustrophobic place and put a trap on it, and then used the bandage to seal the magic to firmly wrap the trapped Eternal Gunir until it was taken out and "sold".

A secret compartment within Eternal Gunir contains the Heart of Ruby Africa, which was originally known only to Palamides, and it is so well hidden that it is generally impossible for the uninformed to find it.

And most importantly, the poison master Beit is too short-sighted to know the true value of the Meteor Gunir. When the poisoner Beth sells it as a "trap" and uses it to try to assassinate Prince Said, Palamides knows that Beth really doesn't understand anything.

Anyone who treats an artifact like Eternal Urnir so lightly will certainly not carefully investigate the secrets of this spear.

So, there's really no going to be a problem...... Right?

Ten minutes later, in the safe room of a jewelry store opened by a friend of Rosetta, the queen of jewels.

The surrounding enchantment is opened. Although this enchantment is not the strongest shady enchantment, it still has a good ability to shield from the outside world. Everything that happens in this room is almost impossible for the outside world to eavesdrop on, and it is impossible to peek at.

What's more, Rosetta also had her own guard group outside the jewelry store, and even the roof was guarded. With such a tight guard, it is almost impossible to eavesdrop on the safe room.

"Now, it's just the two of us. Rosetta sighed, "Open it." Hopefully [that] is still there. ＂

Even so, Rosetta spoke with great caution.

"Okay. Palamides rested his meteor gun on the marble table in the safe room and began to fumble around the gun.

He fumbled around a few times, and finally found the booting device of the dark grid. The big cat pressed his finger against the device and pushed it slightly upwards. Then, the whole Eternal Gunir began to glow. Its black gun body had intricate, circuit-diagram-like patterns, and it was from these lines that light seeped out. Originally, the Eternal Gunir would seep out a beautiful golden light from the lines, but at this time, it oozed a strange orange-red light, which was also inexplicable.

This wonderful orange-red glow didn't last long. It only took a few seconds for the dark compartment inside Eternal Gunir to suddenly open.

"I don't know how you found out about this kind of darkness. Rosetta couldn't help but complain: "Is it just an accident?"

"It's just a coincidence. I took the Eternal Gunir and wiped it on my hand when I touched the switch, and it flashed a few times like it had just done, and suddenly opened a dark compartment. The big cat explained, sticking his finger in, trying to pull out the objects in the compartment. The spear's body wasn't too thick, and normally the hidden compartment inside it wouldn't have been able to hide a fist-sized heart-shaped ruby. But the spear's lattice seems to be a subspace device, and no one knows how big the subspace inside is.

"Huh?" Palamides snorted and pulled out his cat's paw in confusion, "No?"

"Could it be!" Rosetta the Jewel Queen was anxious: "Was [that] really discovered and stolen by Beite?!"

"Wait, I'll take a look. The big cat put his hand in again. This time, he stuck the whole cat's paw in. The slightly slender spear opened with a small dark compartment that suddenly sucked Palamides' palm in, which looked rather strange.

"Hmm------" Palamides didn't catch it, but he seemed to sense something in the dark, so he pushed his whole arm into the little darkside even harder. His arm was tucked in its entirety.

"Palamy!" Rosetta exclaimed.

"It's okay! I'm fine!" was terrifying to watch, but Palamides' arm just turned into subspace, not as bad as it looked. He used his entire arm to scoop around the subspace of the dark grid, trying to fish out the heart of Africa, or something in the dark grid.

"Woo!" but instead of catching it, he felt a sharp pain. His hand seemed to have slashed at something sharp and was cut.

"Whoa, a------a
