Chapter 112: The Sword
Straight into the sky 10,000 meters high mountain today to welcome a few guests, the climate here is unusually cold, and in addition to ice is snow, maybe it is a good place to observe the corona or astronomical phenomena, but in this era human beings can directly travel in space, who cares about the scenery here, even those small aircraft are rarely able to shuttle on the mountain, far away from the camp near the foot of the mountain.
At first, the red lizard was very puzzled, the boss did not intend to stay in the camp, learned about the underground trading hall system and walked towards the mountain, the big man who was about the same as him followed closely behind, no matter how he looked like a bodyguard, the fat man holding the long box grinned and followed, muttering something to the black-clothed young man beside him, and sometimes playing some sign language, which is only used by the military to transmit information.
The identities of these people are confusing, the young boss speaks like a star thief but does not have that unique and fierce atmosphere, with an obviously master bodyguard, and two young men who can use military sign language. What kind of people have not seen the red lizard, especially the characters in the underworld know a lot, his observation and insight can be said to be stronger than many people, the more I think about it, the more I feel that the black-haired and black-eyed boss is not simple, maybe they really brought some treasure this time, it is a big deal beyond imagination.
"Hey, brother tour guide, hurry up, the boss said to take us to find a place to rest." Fate turned around and shouted, meaning to tell the red lizard not to be so sluggish.
"Okay, here we go." The red lizard hurriedly ran two steps, his burden was not small, and he was carrying a large travel bag that was often used as a bench behind him, and there were a few artistic patches crookedly on it, it seemed that the life of this Mondo Star brother was not very good.
The higher you go, the thinner the air becomes, and the red lizard thinks that a few people will stop when they climb a thousand meters high, perhaps for fear of being peeped at by others, but when they reach an altitude of two thousand meters, they have no intention of stopping, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
The red lizard had always felt that he was physically strong, and that it was okay for him to be about the same size as he could last so long, but the boss behaved pleasantly, as if he were walking in the garden, and did not show any fatigue. I comforted myself in my heart and said, "Let's follow, maybe these people will stop after a few hundred meters." However, I don't know how many times this heartfelt voice sounded, and the people in front of them did not stop, and it became more and more difficult to breathe, and it is estimated that it has reached an altitude of 4,000 meters.
Yi Shuihan jumped lightly onto an ice stone and smiled: "The tail has finally been shaken off, Fate, you go and take the red lizard upwards and follow me." ”
Before the red lizard could understand what was going on, he saw the young boss's body pressed down, and flew out with a "whoosh", and after shaking in front of him for a few moments, he reached the end of a silvery white patch, running out at least a few hundred meters.
Fate's thick palm grabbed the red lizard's back and wrapped it, and said with a smile: "Dude, it's time for us to go." ”
The red lizard said in a daze, "Ahh
I just thought that this feeling was really good, and suddenly I stopped abruptly, and a rocky col appeared in front of me.
The head was a little dizzy at this time, after all, the altitude is so high and oxygen is scarce, and the Mengduo people also rely on oxygen to breathe, and they still know a little about the martial monks, so they were surprised in their hearts, and looked at the master with three points of fear.
Yi Shuihan glanced around, nodded, and threw two more ice seeds in his hand at some point.
The two silver rays of light were fleeting, and the red lizard thought it was dazzled, and the surrounding ice and snow were greatly attracted and flew towards the position where the silver light appeared just now, just like a small-scale ice and snow storm, when the eyes became clear again, two giant trees with a height of 100 meters had grown, almost filling the entire mountain col.
"Whew, it's finally born, excited, good boss." The sound waves were coming from the ice tree, and the red lizard was startled, but the few people around him were obviously used to it.
Yi Shuihan took a few steps forward and smiled with relief: "Brothers Treeman have worked hard, we have to rest in the tree hole for the past three days, this is the Ruins Star, the information about the planet will be provided to you later, maybe there will be a place to get the two of you in the future, even if you set up camp here first, if possible, you will also establish a small base here, and then you will not be too lonely." ”
"Wow, the boss is so polite, the environment here is just right for growth, if it will be lively in the future, it will naturally add color to the boring life, and our brothers will be happy to help." The tree man shook and mixed with ice crystals and began to absorb energy, and the col gradually covered with snow, and since then it has been permeated with wind and frost all year round.
The red lizard was a little stunned by what happened in a few hours, he just accosted him according to the convention, but now he was in an ice cellar, although it was a little cold, but he could bear it for a good physique, there was a quilt in the travel bag, it was okay to take it out and wrap it around his body, good eloquence was useless at the moment, people could fly on the snow without leaving any traces, how strong the strength should be and how strong the brain cells could be estimated, the four of them were not bad in his eyes, instinctively shrunk their bodies, looked at their noses, Nose and mouth, honestly sit on the big package.
Yi Shui sat down, he planned to hire the red lizard for a long time, because when he said about Mondoxing, the moon god passed the message with both hands, and the next grand cemetery was there.
The so-called Mondo star is a strange planet with twelve moons, the planet is one of the most frequent earthquakes due to the frequent displacement of the land plate under the gravitational pull of each moon, human beings have ignored it for a long time, the Mondo category is complex, almost including a lot of broken civilization remnant groups, it can be said that in addition to the large population, there are many races, which is much worse than the "human slum" known as the "human slum" Saturn, fortunately, this planet is not as closed as Saturn, at the junction of the Bright Federation and the Angel Empire, It is considered an interstellar travel supply point, so the Mondo people were able to accumulate a sum of money for "smuggling" to work on other planets.
The Mondo is a very low-quality race in the eyes of human beings, and has gradually fallen to the bottom of the society, they have no identity, even if it is a bank, they rarely open credit cards to the Mondos, the Mondos are so poor that they are clanging, breaking jars and breaking is their strength, they can often be found in the star thief gang, and the red lizards are relatively good among the Mondos.
"Does your home planet have twelve moons?" Yi Shuihan's voice suddenly came.
The red lizard didn't feel that he had much courage, and looked up at the young boss for a moment, and replied, "That's right, my hometown is in turmoil on the land because of those twelve moons, and those big balls in the sky are called 'chaos, confusion, disappointment, pain, groaning, cruelty, sadness, silence, dark dust, coercion, distancing, and vanishing.' ”
The red lizard sighed, and then said: "My family died in the meteorite rain of the 'Cruel Satellite', that damn moon often breaks some large rocks due to its special distance from the Mondo Star, the surface of the satellite is pulled by gravity and is full of ravines, it is one of the killers more terrible than the earthquake, the good places in the galaxy are occupied by humans, and those previously defeated races can only choose the Mondo Star to ......settle down if they are too weak" Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that the boss was also a human, and quickly stopped his voice and looked at Yi Shuihan with some caution.
"You're right, I know very well what human beings are like, there are many races complaining about human beings, and within the human race, the poor are also complaining about being deprived by the rich, can you come back to your home planet with me in a few days, I want to go to Mondo Star to find something left by my predecessors."
The red lizard's eyes were a little confused, and he said: "To be honest, we people who come out to work hope to take their families out, and no one wants to go back. ”
Yi Shuihan fell silent after being rejected, his eyes closed slightly, and he wondered in his heart whether it was possible to hire some Mondo people to build a transport spaceship, what Skeleton Star lacked now was a group of people with the spirit of construction, and it also needed a fleet to transport resources. He didn't express his thoughts, but had a flash of inspiration, first to see if he could order a batch of ships, otherwise everything could only be a pipe dream.
Three days passed in a flash, only the red lizard felt that the time was very long, and he had also learned to meditate like Yi Shuihan and the four people, but after waiting for an hour, he felt dizzy and groggy, and he had no interest in sitting down at all.
When I came to the foot of the mountain again, it was already overcrowded, and there were hundreds of flying machines at once, and the scene was very similar to the city's air dock, and a group of five people shuttled through the flow of people, and smoothly entered the elevator with a pass. With a roar, the octagonal elevator of hundreds of square meters sank underground.
The red lizard was very familiar with this place, and hurriedly said: "Boss, the grand event has begun, the upper house and the next house will appear in a specific room, what you want to buy or sell just need to choose a regional room." ”
"Take me to the Adventure Merchant." Yi Shuihan said calmly.
"Okay." The red lizard hurriedly agreed, and led a few people to sink to the bottom of the underground trading hall with the elevator, and there were few people around at this time.
There were no merchants in the trading room, and Yi Shuihan looked at the red lizard suspiciously.
"Boss, please be patient for a few minutes, most of the adventurous merchants have a lot of other business, they may be in other rooms to negotiate business with buyers, the merchants who can appear here are very reputable, as long as you accept a complaint and it is verified to be true, don't want to mess around in the underground trading hall, otherwise how can you attract so many people here?" Every two months, there will be a big event, which makes it easier for them to do business. ”
In a short time, the small door was opened, and three people entered, led by an old lady with pedantic glasses, whose gray hair was combed exceptionally neatly and with a dignified appearance, and it was still possible to see her praying reverently to the idol in a small church in a religious country, and it was impossible to surprise one to appear in the black market.
Behind the old lady were two women, standing respectfully, wearing simple dresses, covering their bodies tightly, about forty years old, with a cold look in their eyes, difficult to approach.
"Oh, isn't this a red lizard, my kid has been doing well lately?" The old lady's face was ruddy, and her eyes were full of kindness.
"Thank you, Lady Mary, for your concern, the boy is very good, the owner has a Morgan item for sale, you always know that the adventure merchant is the most reputable and the highest bidder, so I brought it to you."
"Haha, cute little lizard, then tell me to come and see what your lord has to sell me." As she spoke, the old lady took out a golden-mouthed cigarette and sat down with the two women beside her.
The fat dragon hurriedly handed over the sword box and opened it on the table between the two parties.
The red lizard has never known what it contains, but now it is fortunate to open its eyes, the two-meter-long metal sword is very simple, and the pattern on it is some kind of rhythmic symbol, and the sword body is glowing with a faint light, and the light hits it and feels as if all the mind has been absorbed.
The old lady's face changed, she couldn't even bother to light the cigarette, her eyes were full of joy, she stood up and raised the sword steadily, flicked it lightly on the sword, listened carefully to the echo, and then twisted the hilt of the sword slightly, and suddenly a layer of flame seemed to burn on the sword body, spitting out scorching heat.
Lady Mary nodded, not moved by the high temperature released on the sword, and commented: "What a bloody heroic sword, forged by the Morgan master, it is rumored that a total of ninety-nine were cast, and it emerged during the Dardani Dynasty, according to what I know, this thing is the king's sword in the Ggen clan, and now there are only nine left, in a sense, it represents the imperial power, I am afraid it has far exceeded its own value, young people make a price." ”
This old lady is indeed very fair, she can completely conceal the information about the king's sword, but she did not do that.
Yi Shuihan didn't have a bottom in his heart, so he simply said very frankly: "Dear madam, since the value of this thing is not easy to determine, then it is up to you to decide." ”
Putting down the heroic sword and thinking for a moment, Lady Mary said: "That's it, young man, 30 million blue gold points is already the limit of the funds I bring this time, it is estimated that this thing is worth 80 million, I can still eat well in the circle of smugglers, with this old face can make up 20 million, but the remaining 30 million is very difficult to handle, I hope you can wait a few days, I will go to turnover as soon as possible."
What is a rich person, this old lady is, 80 million blue gold points rely on Tai Sui's current speed to dig for ten years, and the things made by the human snake headquarters are sold at a high price of 30 million, which shows how rich the smuggler adventure merchant is.
Yi Shuihan was excited in his heart, the development funds of the Skull Star were settled, and he hurriedly said: "The price given by Madame was unexpected by me, you are familiar with the merchant circle, can you help me get some large transport spaceships and armed ships?" ”
"No problem, young man, the best transport ships at the moment are 100,000 each, this is already the internal price, the best destroyer is 200,000, the best battleship is 300,000, equipped with excellent weapons, and the combat effectiveness is about 178% of the same type of ship branch of the Angel Empire, and it can also increase the defense and replace the weapons with greater lethality."
"50 million help me buy 300 transports, 40 destroyers, and 40 battleships, can you send them to the coordinates I need? Then I will be receiving. ”
The old lady exhaled lightly and said, "Young man, your skill is not small, this kind of armament is believed to be beyond the reach of most star thieves, and the combat power can catch up with the fleets of the two angel empires." ”
What Yi Shuihan wants to develop is a planet, and the investment is naturally large, he and the old wolf are already rebels.
"Please also ask Madame to help me more, and can you help me exchange your 30 million for some food and construction materials to be transported to the designated place with the transport ship?"
The old lady was shocked by the young man in front of her again and again, this posture is not simple, but she is an adventurous businessman, as long as the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be traded, the value of this heroic sword is much higher than the eighty million she opened, no matter how honest the businessman is, his nature of chasing capital and profit will not change, can she be so happy without several times the profit? If you change to other adventure merchants, I am afraid that the slaughter will be even more powerful.
Everything was negotiated, and in the end, Yi Shuihan also asked for two hundred light armor and one hundred construction robots, which were directly sent to the vicinity of the exit of the Skull Star Wormhole, although it is not so convenient to convey information remotely, but it will take a month and a half for the goods to arrive, and it is completely possible to send the news back and forth.
It is not surprising that a sword has been exchanged for so many things, it seems that it is still necessary to shoot at the treasure, there are not many good things on the body, and if there is a chance, I really have to go to the mausoleum a few more times, or find some ancient ruins to explore, hoping that the Mondoxing Grand Cemetery can leave something more valuable.
The underground trading hall provides a certificate of contract form, and the two sides sign an agreement and pay a large fee, and the hero sword is temporarily kept, and only according to the chain password provided to both parties, Malise can take the sword, if it weren't for the fact that there are very few items that can be kept in the underground hall, and the buyer and seller trade on the spot with blue gold points, I'm afraid that the sinking brother will have to be sent again.
As soon as he came out of the underground hall, Yi Shuihan received a message from Xiao Liu, the Thousand Machine Mirror automatically opened, and the small light screen appeared in front of him. This thing has been transformed by Xiao Liu, and it can already do long-distance communication.
"Boss, Yubai has sent a message to us, saying that he has returned to the laboratory, I hope you will hurry over."
"Oh? Give me the coordinates quickly. "Yi Shuihan's purpose is to find this brother.
The red lizard originally thought that his mission was over, and it was the first time he had seen such a big deal, so he couldn't interject and didn't play a big role, and he was ready to return part of the blue gold points to the owner in accordance with the rules, but Yi Shuihan didn't accept it, the location of the tree man on the mountain was already known to him, and now it was convenient to have a transport ship to go to Mondo Star to hire some workers, even if this tour guide had professional ethics and did not reveal secrets, but there must be a place to use him in business in the future, so he said that there was still a place to go in the Ruins Star, hoping for his guidance.
Knowing the strength of the four people, the big man Fatt slapped the red lizard twice with a smile, and he completely dispelled the idea of terminating the employment.
I got another small flying machine, of course, I couldn't be too arrogant in broad daylight, and I smashed half a blue gold brick out, and I was finally satisfied.
After flying for an hour and a half according to the coordinates, the red lizard couldn't sit still and exclaimed: "You won't go down, that's the most terrifying place in the ruin star, and legend has it that there are powerful savage silicon people in the forest." ”
"Don't worry, there's a boss who is keeping you safe." Fateh reassured. As soon as the words fell, a wild roar from outside the aircraft reached the sky, followed by a whistling giant spear.
