What made Xiao Cheng and his party feel a little unusual was that seven of these starships were all starships of the expedition team, and they had obviously not docked for a long time - all of them were docked at temporary berths within seven days.

"It seems that this god attendant has called more than just a group of us." Xiao Cheng looked thoughtfully at the various logo paints on these expedition starships.

"The universe is so big, we must be not the only ones who found the signal, and this has been considered for a long time." The bald dragon patted Xiao Cheng's shoulder, "A lot of people is not necessarily a bad thing, the old man has said it before." ”

"That's right, you can't tell what's going to happen in the wormhole, and more people will have more power—if this god acolyte really has the ability to bring everyone together." Brother Wu also nodded in response.

This time, the seven people who met with the god attendants were not ready to go, leaving the bald dragon, Xiao Fluttershy, and Nan Xin on the "Hidden Dragon", and the four of them, Old Man Mu, Brother Wu, Lao Han and Xiao Cheng, went to meet the god waiter.

In the harbor, an Ellen man of medium stature in a khaki Ellen gown, with a pale face, a high nose, deep eyes, and long brown hair was waiting for them.

"Guys, please follow me." After verifying his identity, he bowed slightly, his movements were simple and elegant, and he led everyone to board the hovercar on the side.

Old Han Nunu opened his mouth and whispered to Xiao Cheng: "I don't like the Ellen people's contrived posture the most. ”

Xiao Chengwan smiled and did not speak.

Ten minutes later, the hovercar stopped in front of a building marked the chamber of the Elren Empire's Foreign Trade Company.

Casares stood on the steps, watched the group of four get out of the hovercar, and immediately greeted them.

"Thank you so much for coming, my friend!" Casares opened his arms and bowed slightly, motioning for the group to follow him.

The old man Lao Han and Brother Wu both used mimicry masks to change their identities, each of them is a person registered in the Huaguo Explorers Union, with sparse and ordinary resumes, nothing special, the only thing that interests Casares is Xiao Cheng, an honor student of the Republic of China Aerospace University actually joined the expedition team that has been unknown, but that's all. What puzzled him the most was how such a team could know the secrets of the source of evil......

The four of them followed Casares to an ornately decorated office, where an Ellen attendant served them snacks and tea.

"Here's the star map details you want." Casales crossed his fingers on the white table, with a good-natured smile on his face, and sent the star map to the four of them straight to the point.

“…… Thank you so much. "The old man didn't touch the star map, and he didn't let Brother Wu distinguish the authenticity of the star map, and since the other party did this, he didn't mean to lie to them, "As far as I know, the god attendant is also a high-level in the Elren Empire, and it really flatters us to be able to come here to personally greet us explorers." ”

"Explorers are respected all over the world, and our Ellen Empire is no exception, and the development of mankind today is closely related to the heroism and fearlessness of explorers, you are gods, and you should be respected." Casares said, "I know you must have questions about why we are interested in a galaxy in distant China, and since you have trusted me to fulfill your contract, I am obligated to divulge something. ”

"The Source of Sin system—or the B4-105M3 galaxy, is a barren system with no valuable resources, so we don't have any other purpose—" Casaleston paused, looked at everyone's expressions, and continued, "Everyone is familiar with Odin's kingdom. ”

The four of them were dark and straight, and they knew that the point was coming.

"In Ellen, it's more known as the Sin Country. The ancestors of the Ellen Empire were the first in the world to resist the invasion of the Sin Nation—and paid a terrible price—"

"It's the same with our Huaguo, the Kyushu Star Domain has been invaded by four." Wu Ge interjected and interrupted Casares' account of history.

"So we have a lot of information about the Sin Nation." Casares said without paying any attention, "About two years ago, our scholars found a signal pointing to the country of sin in China, which attracted the attention of the Supreme Emperor, but it was not suitable to be announced to the public, and after the discussion of the archbishop, it was decided to send our investigation team to check the situation, because I don't know what the specific situation is, if it is just a simple land of wreckage, it will be a bit of a stir, so it did not alarm your government." ”

"It has nothing to do with us." The old man smiled and asked, "Why don't you tell us this secret......"

"I think you've seen it in the harbor," Casares raised his voice, interrupting the old man, "this time we have gathered a total of eight expeditions from the vicinity, and you are the last to be invited, after all, the country of sin is notorious...... I sincerely hope to be able to get your help, after all...... This is the public enemy of all mankind! ”

The old man's smiling face was slightly retracted, and these words did speak to his heart, no matter what the purpose of these gods was, but the Odin God Kingdom is indeed a great problem for human beings, not to mention that it appeared in the territory of Huaguo, so he couldn't help but worry, although he was expelled from Huaguo, his patriotism has never changed.

Xiao Cheng and the three of them all looked at the old man, the old man was their backbone, as long as the old man nodded, they had no objections.

Casares smiled and crossed his fingers and looked at the old man, in fact, he was not 100% sure in his heart, after all, in addition to the adventurous spirit of the expedition, it was also for the sake of money to take risks, the reason why he was so frank was to test whether they knew something, if they cooperated, it would be best, if not, then they could only take some extraordinary measures......

The old man suddenly smiled.

"Ah~ Respected God Servants, it is our duty to do the cause of all mankind! Resolutely support your actions" The words were sonorous and powerful, startling Xiao Cheng and the others, and then the old man hesitated, "Although we are not afraid of danger, personal comfort is nothing...... But it can be to feed a large family...... My youngest grandson is only two years old this year......"

"......" Xiao Cheng, Lao Han, and Brother Wu were collectively speechless when they looked at the old man's face and heartbeat.

Casares was slightly disappointed in his heart, and at the same time his expression relaxed.

Gently resting his hands on the table, he responded: "Dear explorer, regarding this operation, the empire has given me a special fund......

Then he opened his palm, and the light screen suddenly opened, and a string of numbers was entered.

"This is a deposit of 500,000 YTB, and after the completion of the investigation, regardless of the outcome, there is the other half." Casares said with a smile.

1 million YTB is quite considerable for an average expedition team, because the cost of a new standard frigate is about 300,000 YTB, plus the modification is 500,000, so the sincerity of the other party is clear.

"Hmm~ this ......" The old man looked like he wanted to say something, but he didn't accept it.

Casares snorted contemptuously in his heart, and added another 300,000 on the basis of 500,000: "This is a little additional subsidy for the old man, and I hope you don't leak it out with other expeditions." ”

The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately pocketed 800,000 yuan, and then asked hesitantly: "Then, after completing the inspection, the commission will not shrink, right?!" ”

Casares sent a contract agreement on a light screen with his own unique electronic signature.

smiled slightly: "The contract has stated that after completing the investigation, I will pay you the remaining 500,000 immediately, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Ahh The old man quickly took the contract into his palm, stood up and reached out to Cazares to shake it.

Casares hesitated, but still stretched out his slender fingers, he felt his hand being held tightly by the old man's hand in front of him, there was no disgust, but he did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, he sent the four out with a smile, watching the attendant turn the corner with the four, Casares withdrew his smile, took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully wiped the right hand he had held several times.

"Perhaps, I did look away." Casares whispered.

Raphael came out of the shadows: "These expeditions are all of this virtue. ”

"Hmph~ But they do know a lot more about starry sky exploration than us laymen." Casares snorted coldly, "It's easy to put them to good use by giving a small benefit." ”
